    Greg was fired

    Harkes is the new coach

    They just started work on a roof at CCS

    Jim Smith took a job with Major League Ping Pong

    They're paving the entire parking lot with Astroturf so we can still play PL Footie.

    We used two allocations on creative, attacking midfielders

    They cancelled both the State Fair and the Quarterhorse Congress

    DC sucks.

    That about does it.

    The Crew have now scored exactly 3x as many goals as there have been escaped lions in Columbus.

    BTW: Did anybody know that Luke Vercollone was traded to New England for a fifth round pick next year?

    Maybe I missed the announcement.

    It's a secret strategy: trade away the early rounders but stock up on fifths. Shrewd.

    Maybe we can trade them in for higher picks?

    Jim Smith: I'll give you 3 5th round picks and our 6th round pick for your 3rd round pick
    Other GM: *laughing hysterically*

    New England actually put something on their website about it, just prior to the start of the season, if I remember correctly. Nothing from the CCS boys, though, except maybe a blurb in one of Merz's stories.

    Rumors started swirling here on BS that Greg was done. Someone wrote an article on HuntParkInsider.com and a couple other sites jumped on board. Then someone must have told Lee/Shane that it was not happening anymore, and they quickly changed their story and acted like HPI did something wrong. It's Monday, Greg's still coach at Crew Stadium, and were tied for last place. Not much else happened.

    Martino shook GA's hand after he was taken off, unlike last week when there was apparently beef.

    Actually, I heard that Martino agreed to shake Greg's hand if Greg promised to wash up after going to the can.

    Even though the club is 1-0-2 in its last three matches, the answer is not really.
