Pre/PBP/Post DC United v Portland Timbers

It means Talent Be Damned, start Clark

 

Why are we playing a western team this late in the season?

 

Are we still playing soccer? I'm pretty sure the season is over...? Only 2 months until the unnecessarily-complex-series-of-drafts. Yay.

I may need a drink. In honor of playing Portland, I'll make it a bud light.

Now that's taking one for the team.

 

Cannon fodder for Portland so they can rest their A team going into the playoffs?

 

Speaking of cannons, does the Galaxy still have those confetti cannons at games?

 

If Valeri doesn't play, they will be exposed and United will win easily. That's how overrated Portland is.

Nah, I just hate their coach. A face only a mother wouldn't want to punch.

 

Like the Galaxians the cannons fired prematurely while they were still undressing pre- match

 

yes

 

Why wouldn't he play?

 

Nagbe wasn't playing much defense on Tuesday, I expect us to capitalize on that

 

United's website says News Channel 8. My program guide doesn't have it.

 

The mystery of tv coverage for DCU this year is such a good example of the fine organization and marketing of this team. Bravo to all involved.

 

I don't see it myself, sitruc.
But DirecTV's guide has it playing on ROOT Sports Net (their channel 687). I'm wondering if it might be blacked out in our area, though...

 

Oh well. Looks like they'll probably black out our region. They're blacking out a college volleyball game now....

Never mind... match on NC8

 

Yeah, FIOS shows a bunch of talking-head-type shows on the channel guide, instead of the game, but the pre-game is actually on now.

 

For the same reason they don't televise death row executions?

 

Well that sucked.

 

What could possibly be more DC United than the way that half ended?

 

Clark is really showcasing his skills. Not
