    My son had a very vivid dream about the game. This has never happened before, so I can't tell you if he's got any talent for predicting games, but he woke up around the 30th minute and the filth were already up 3-0. The first goal was a PK and Godoy got a yellow on that. He doesn't remember the second, but the third was a rocket from 50 yards out. The LOBINA end was closed in with posters saying "Go Quakes." Sounds like a nightmare to me, but putting it out there in case he turns out to be right and anyone needs advice on investments or anything.

    Uh-oh. Back in early 1988, before opening day, I dreamed the Dodgers would win the pennant. Don't know why. I hate the Dodgers. And pundits predicted they would be bad.

    Did you watch the clip. Ozzie's homer is kryptonite to L.A. fans.

    Still baseball ;)

    Plus who likes the Cardinals? That series is living in hell for Bay Area Baseball fans.

    Sounds like he's got issues around disillusionment. I'd get him to therapy :--).

    Ask him about his dreams involving Scarlett Johansson and if any of them became reality.

    When I was playing high school soccer and we were taking a bus to the game, someone was passing around a bag of gummy worms. When I reached into get one it wasn't a gummy worm that I pulled out, but a coin shaped piece of the same gummy material. It was green in color and had the number "3" on it. Our uniforms were green and we ended up winning 3-1, so I figure that was an omen that came true. And there were no other gummy "coins" in the bag.

    I lived in St. Louis from 65-68, and those were the years a boy develops and attachment to a team. So, yeah, I like the Cardinals! I have totally jumped on the Giants bandwagon in the meantime, but in the odd years, I'm all about the Cards!

    New York has been the capital of the US for a while. It's kind of insane, but everyone wants to move there now. It's not the dump it was in the 80s and even 90s.

    Whiskey Gulch was perfectly safe and preferable to what's there now.

    As long as Clarence Goodson is fit to go, we have a chance. I think he scores the game winning goal off a set piece.

    In addition to funky little ethnic restaurants, EPA now has a Mi Pueblo, Nordstrom Rack, Home Depot, and an IKEA, none of which were around 20 years ago. There was no supermarket in EPA for decades!

    If you're saying that Whiskey Gulch was preferable to a law office complex, then, yeah, hard to disagree with that, though I do like the soup kitchen.

    MLS Analyst Matt Doyle says LA's attack pretty much runs through Lleget on the left side now.

    http://m.mlssoccer.com/news/article...lyst-pieces-puzzle-metronome-and-more-week-25

    Thankfully, Cato has the speed to keep up with him. Likewise, Salinas can keep up with Zardes.

    Godoy and Alashe are definitely more athletic than Juninho and Gerrard.

    LA's collective soccer IQ will be better than ours but we are fielding a faster, stronger team.

    I think we'd do better if we got that octopus out there.
