As if the San Jose Earthquakes don't have identical colors, anyway. As if the Rapids don't look like they're playing in bootleg Inter Milan jerseys they got off some Ebay dealer from Thailand. "The Black and Blue." I can't wait for a Turn Back the Clock game between San Jose and Los Angeles, just so I can read all about the Celery Green and Yellow against the... well, knowing MLS, they'll call the 1996 Galaxy the Red and Black. That's what they call every other team in the league. Preacher Dan is hitting on all cyliders with this column. Now I feel like drinking a few beers and yelling at someone.
Very subtle dig here: "But that's not what really annoyed me in MLS news this week. No, it wasn't Chicago coming back against some Trinidad bank or homeless shelter or whatever CD Financial San Juan Jabloteh is supposed to represent.

Congratulations, Chicago! "
