If the thought of Metro being the only MLS side to not play in either an MLS Cup or US Open Cup final isn't depressing enough, a look at today's MLS Cup finals sees teams with tons of connections to Metro--begging the question what the hell is the matter with us? LA has Lalas and Hendrickson in the starting team and Ralph Perez is on the coaching staff. NE will probably start Kamler and Hernandez and likely bring Braedon Cloutier off the bench. Yuck.
