I can't believe I'm doing this and this will be one of the proudest moments of my life. Shouldn't April 2 be March 2, 2013?
Here's how it goes down: Will Bruin hattrick vs DC and people think we are saved! Crushed 5-0 in Seattle and people think we are doomed!!
Meh. Boswell is now with them. The hat trick days are over for Bruin. Slide in Corey Ashe. Hat trick.
alternate poll: stubledore sucks: 1) the life out of me 2) so hard, so much 3) just like your mom 4) who is stumbledore?
Oops, did I kill this thread this morning? No new stuff? Well, I'm excited. We get to see a different team. If the new Honduran is on the bench, I swear I'll cry.
There's not much to say until we see something new. Hopefully DMB and Garrido get some time and show us that new.
We may look good in the defensive 4-2-3-1 ------------Bruin Davis-----Barnes-----OBG ---------Rico--Garrido DMB--JT--Host--Sarkodie -----------Hall
DC has transformed the team by adding tough MLS veteran type players (especially along the back line). They're a good solid team now that shares a common goal. If Ashe is now a backup, we should trade him to get his $165K off the books and open up the opportunity for more moves down the line. Trade Ashe for a cheap prospect type player?
Twitter fight going down with EJ. "He is one of those guys that every time he is getting close to playing for a contract or proving himself, he goes out and he does his work and you're like, 'Wow, okay!'" Ching said. "But once he gets that contract or DP status, he tends to disappear a little bit. It's kind of like he's fighting so hard to prove that he's good that when he gets there, he just kind of stops doing the things that made him successful. "If I was to sign him, I would say, 'Hey, here's $10,000 a goal. You're making $50,000 or you're making $100,000. You want money? Score goals,'" continued Ching. "He has the talent to do it. I think he loses that drive, that mentality once he gets rewarded or gets his contract." http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/artic...referral&utm_content=News&utm_campaign=Unpaid
DC beat Toronto, 3-0, on Wednesday night. They are now 4-1-0 in their last 5 league games, scoring 10 in those games while allowing 4.
Two more days and we get to see Garrido and Beasley. I'm a bit nervous, I don't want us to lose any more games.
