dear brian mcbride: please score three goals tonight and make me look like an idiot. dear rest-of-team: everything you've done up until this point does not count unless you can take five points from SJ in three games before they do. last year SJ took their play up another level to thoroughly dominate you on their way to celebrating with the cup in our stadium. this year, please find our next level. its your choice, sixth of ten or cup champions. thank you.
