    I'm mostly angry that Seattle gets the advantage of camouflage ...

    DC loaned Kamara down to Richmond, I see. He may end up having more goals today in his USL game than DC has scored all year.

    Last years Lodiero finds Dempsey alone at the spot instead of dribbling aimlessly and losing possession

    I appreciate how stupid this will sound to those who don't live here, but I really wonder how much the lack of sun this year has affected his game. Seattle's winters in the best years can depress people - this Winter/Spring was absolutely brutal. It could have affected his outlook on playing here. [/wild speculation]

    How does Stuart Holden not see that as a foul?

    The bright game combined with color blindness and Fox's shitty picture quality means I can't tell the teams apart.

    Enjoy the game, everyone.

    Twellman! He clearly went through Dempsey's foot. It's a foul...

    Holden and Geiger go a long way toward making games unwatchable

    The contact didn't look hard, but Dempsey is always good about getting away with extending his arm and hand so that it doesn't get caught.

    Even Michael Sicoly's website covers what I regularly say. He's a regular on the circuit. Damn Canadians.

    This Ottawa/Richmond game is what I think the kids these days call lit.

    Why take one touch when you can take nine and lose the ball, Lodiero

    I wouldn't be surprised if there's something to that. My wife has made it clear to me; we (well, she) will not be moving to Portland for this very reason (ok, there are other reasons, but this is at the top of the list). When my daughter lived there we visited four or five times, stayed probably a total of two weeks, and saw the sun about 15 minutes.

    Picture quality is fine here but Seattle's camouflage kit doesn't help.

    One of our visits was over the 4th of July.........59 degrees; we were in sweatshirts.

    EDIT: Oh! Did I mention the constant drizzle?

    Right? I think that often about him, the American Rooney. But sometimes his running style reminds me of Cua Blanco.

    At least I don't have to listen to Kasey Keller. The biggest homer this side of the San Jose Earthquakes broadcast crew.

    You're preaching to the choir

    For work I regularly host visitors from overseas. Some Kiwis were on a repeat visit and at the very end of their stay the clouds suddenly dissipated and Mt Rainier became visible. They were astonished at how huge the mountain is from Olympia/Tacoma and that they had never seen it before. While I had explained to them there was an enormous mountain there, they actually thought I was pulling their leg.

    Actually, I really didn't have a problem with it. Admittedly though, I'm not sure how I could handle it over the course of any long period of time. We are from the south, you know.

    Still, we could be Timbers' season ticket holders; that should help.

    And there seemed to be a coffee shop on every corner.

    Holden is really overthinking this whole what's wrong with Seattle thing.

    Lodiero has been bad. The end. All this other nonsense is immaterial. They played fine together last year before Dempsey went out; this is down to a key guy being in bad form.
