Good afternoon folks! FearM9 here. I just got back from rockclimbing and had to grab some lunch from Wendy's...so it may be several mins before I am able to get the PBP going. This brotha is HUNGRY!!! I hope everyone here was able to enjoy the day OUTSIDE and not sitting at home playing "DOOM" on their computer with their fat fingers. The following PBP is brought to you by Beal climbing ropes, Boreal climbing shoes, and Black Diamond climbing equipment. Enjoy!!!
Mr. Foudy better play Ann Cook damnit!!!! Looks to be a gorgeous day at the Spartan Stadium. Does anyone know if there is any rockclimbing within the Bay Area? Looks like Saskia is starting in goal for the Power. Where is what's her name...the short haired gal that was the Power's starting GK? BOSTON SUCKS!!!
My right hip cramped up as I was trying to set a route from up top . Is that Mt. Diablo in the background? Mr. Foudy is sitting in the press box for the first half. ??? -- the telecast is listing Sissi, Mandy, and Pretinha up front for the CheetoRays. Oh looky there...the CheetoRays are still wearing their Cheeto uniforms. Power going right to left and wearing white top with black shorts. I don't think I've ever seen that look for 'em. My money is on the Power winning the majority of the 50/50 balls...Raveia and Boxx. Davey is getting her first start for the Power. Frenchie on the far side crosses it in...Vench top of the six tries to head it...goes to Pretinha...wide left!
3rd minute....Power on the counter....nada...Brandi is there to force a turnouver. Play mostly up the CheetoRays left side.... Ball threaded through to Clemens near the six but Webber off her line and able to snatch it up.
Moo moo moo goes the nerd. Trouble breathing there? You can here the drums coming from section 125. 5th minute and it's still nil-nil as the English would say. Pretinha leading an attack down the right side....resutls in CheetoRays throw in deep...Power clear.... 7th minute...Millie takes a long rang shot but dribbles right to Beene. Tietjen with a cross from the near side...goes across the 5....some Power playing running onto it...nada..Cromwell there to take it away...turned over....Boxx facing goal...there is Bryan...Beene gets to it. Clemens running towards goal...Power player shields her at the top of the six...Webber grabs it.
Starting the 10th minute now. Cyberrays get a thorw in....Chastain from like 40 yards out takes a shot that goes right to Webber... Clemens on near side crosses it in....Raveia clears it out. Welsh fouls Lindsey in front of the bench....she is jawing with the ref....freekick goes right to Vench who goes in for a sliding left footed shot at the far corner of the six...nada! Ahhh Smolak...that is her name Chastain takes it aways from Davey....crosses it to Pretinha at the PK spot...she tries to head it to Clemens but nada. SOB I have had problems with ants crawling on me the past couple of days. Peters able to takes the ball away...Power on the attack.....weak backpass to Beene...Welsh intercepts it and taps it to Millie....Millie from about 10 yards out shoots high!
Am I the only one here? Hard to judget the attendance at Spartan. Jim Barr is now being interviewed up in the booth. We are nearing the 15th minute. Clemaens attacking up the right side...gets a throw in in front of the Power bench...long serve into Clemens who is about 8 yards out..Clemens gets her left foot on it but I think she is whistled offside. Ooooo...close...ball served into Pretinha but she is BARELY offside....maybe a foot or two...if she was on she would've definately scored., Power with a freekick from about 40 yards out....Beene misplays it...she is on the ground but the CheetoRays able to clear it! Was there a Power handball? Welsh...near side in the 18....earns the corner...nope...just a throw in....Peters floats it right to Beene. 18th minute...looks like two CheetoRays were just whisteld offside....
19th minute....defensive misplay by the Power in the 18....ball goes right to Mandy who takes a left footed shot from about 10 yards out but drills some Power player in the gut... 20th minute...Cyberrays with a throw in deep...another throw in...another one....cross from the near side...Clemens perhaps...but it goes right to Webber.... 21st minute...Welsh takes a shot from beyond the 18 but that goes wide right.
Hey! You aren't alone, there are lurkers. Good to see Vench starting. Never seen NY in those unis before. There's probably some rock-climbing in the area. Katia will probably come on for the 2nd half. Who's dominating play? Has Beene been challenged? GO RAYS!
The Power have been wearing the white top/black bottom unis for away games all season. All black for home games.
my cousins and even my SISTER are at this game in san jose....no fair! lol. my sis' first every c'ray game to boot!! yay for tish starting!!! lets hope we notch in a few!! i think i'm gonna call them during half time. lol elaine
Not a lot of shots taken. Only 1 on goal between the two of us. I think that's good for us. We need Tisha on the attack. Is Katia being punished for poor production? Will we see her subbed in at the half?
my guess is... Katia hasn't been playing well so maybe the sub roll is what she needs to light a fire under her ass but mostly I feel she is coming in as a sub to get the cleared games from the yellows she received... Less minutes, less time to draw another yellow.
She injured her right ankle. At halftime they showed her laying on the bench. Sorry for the interruption folks! Damn the Racist Danny!!!
