    In case anyone isn't busy late Wednesday evening, the Stripes visit south central Texas in the latest round of "When will the bleeding stop?"

    Looks like the defense will be very makeshift, as Stian, Amador, and possibly Lennon should be absent. Not like the defense was lock-tight before, however, so...

    Austin is mediocre, which is better than us right now. And it's a road game, with those godawful green LEDs all over the stadium. I'll watch. Probably have the Braves game on at the same time, though. Let's see if at least one team can get over .500 this season.

    Late to the party. Tune in just in time to see Almiron breaking down on the keeper but failing to get it past him. 0-0 at the 10' mark.

    Man, I thought Austin's uniforms were bad before but these are awful.

    Saba the only name that's a possible surprise to not see starting.

    Brandon Vasquez and John Gallagher two former Stripes on the Austin side.

    22' 0-0

    Atlanta clearly playing a counterattacking game tonight. They're sitting deep and trying to strike on the break. Thus far it's yielded 3 shots on target. Weak shots, but good opportunities actually directed toward the goal!

    38' sees ATX get a free kick when one of their players is touched on the shoulder by Hernandez and then contrives to fall as if tripped from behind.

    43' Great save by Guzan. Vasquez is slipped a thru ball that puts him in one on one. Kick save and a beauty!

    Austin had the better of the match after the hyrdo break.

    53' and things are getting testy. ATX gets another free kick about 20 yards out...

    1-0. Vasquez hits a nice one into the upper right corner. Brad guesses right but isn't strong enough to keep it out.

    Almiron has got to score that breakaway. Second half so far has been all green, and the former Five Stripe Brandon Vazquez scores a banger just as I'm typing...

    And also the Braves lost, so they're back to a losing record, too.

    Saw that. A come-from-ahead loss, to boot. Alas.

    I've been watching Amazing Race instead.

    Fortune gets a yellow as Atlanta is now scrambling on defense.

    It's so frustrating to see wide open blue shirts upfield, and the player with the ball passes backwards.

    Thiare scores but I'm sure he's offside.

    Edit: OMG! Goal stands! 1-1
