I am officially happy to announce that I was horribly wrong about where the Quakes would be after 10 games. 5-2-3 is simply amzing to me considering the talent level and the injuries. Honestly, who thought Craig, his brother Brian and his other brother Brian would contribute so much in the first 10 games? Not I! Who thought Goose would rally from a horrible 2002 to slightly resemble Agoos of 2001? Not I! Who thought Todd Dunivant would have a thread complaining about his All-Star snubbing, have his own official thread, a nickname(Hot Toddy) and have as many points as Joe-Max Moore? Not I! I figured the Quakes would be scrapping with Chicago for the 8th playoff spot, not the Supporters Shield. I have to say, i'm impressed. They are truly the best "team" in MLS, they work hard, play hurt and truly believe they can win every game. Now, for my prediction in the next 10 games......The David Blaine of MLS (Quakes) will get healthy, get all their starters back, Alvarez, Walker, Roner and one of the Brians will hit the bench and the Quakes will go 1-9-1 and hit the cellar like a lead zepplin.
Good going, ldb! Just keep those projections for the future coming. We hope that they are successful as your past ones were.
You do realize that in order to hit the cellar, that somehow the Burn would have to actually get more points than the Quakes, don't you? Trust me, it ain't happenin'.
Given such happy circumstances and that LDB is "family," I hate to pile on....but.....O.K..... I view your cynicism as a vital part of our great mojo. MAY YOU BE AS WRONG AS SNOW SHOES ON A SWIMSUIT MODEL THE REST OF THE YEAR! KEEP THOSE PREDICTIONS COMIN'! Thank you and good night.
"cognitive dissonance" Gosh, and all this time I just thought that LDB was a mental case! Glad you like crow, 'cause after those last predictions, LDB, you're gonna be eating it for a long time
Shoot...I'll just give you the definition so that LDB can get FULL credit for everything he says... Cognitive dissonance - psychological conflict resulting from incompatible beliefs and attitudes held simultaneously.
