Revs Current Roster - A work in progress

Well in spite of these ongoing frustrations, do I detect a tiny degree of solidification of the Revo in the last two games?

 

So true, oh sentient one.

 

Absolutely. Much better performances last week. Down a man on the road and coming back to tie? Much better.

Is it a blip, like the run in the 2010 Super Liga? Or is the team is starting to find itself?

 

All the better to make a "2002" type run to the last spot in the playoffs and then a march to win MLS Cup

 

Doc, I'll become a card carry member of the Koolaid Drinker Society of this board if the Revs go on a run and win the 2011 MLS Cup.

 

Solidification? Did you go out of your way not to use the G-word so that we wouldn't have to drink

 

Ha ha, no, actually I was describing to my self -all season- that the team was like Jell-O. I just thought that what I witnessed over the last two games was a little move away from Jell-O. Some coagulating seems to be taking place, hopefully. So the word "solidification" began bouncing around my cranium.

 

Your on: If that comes about (they make the Playoffs) I will have you--and MONTY-- stand in the back of my truck and I will ride you through all the parking lots to show off you KAD shorts and we will record your chants so it can be piped over the PA system at halftime.

 

I'm not sure your correct in your analysis. It's not about how many teams in the East who will make the playoffs. It's about what this team (and the 2002 Revs needed to do to make the playoffs when they dug themselves into a huge hole. If I remember correctly in 2002 the Revs needed to almost win out in their last 8 games to get in. This years team is so far down they almost need to do the same thing. What the 2002 team did was improbable. What the 2011 Revs need to make the playoff in HIGHLY improbable.

(FWIW, unless the Revs add some potent reinforcements in the very near term I would upgrade the above from highly improbable to damn near impossible)

 

We and the players can schedule tee times 7 days a week till the first snow

 

Even if I don't agree with most of you most of the time why would I do something like that which would damage your health?

 

Not even to shut you up. Remember, the bottom line of an oath we Doctors take is "Above all do no harm". Hell, if it would get you guys and gals to stop smoking and lessen your drinking I'd even allow myself to to make my post sound more like I was a NNN

 

Lekic is the kind of player who can be either a hit or a major disappointment.. you just have to look at his career to see that...

Great while playing for Silkeborg, but a flop at Esbjerg and OB Odense... though it should be said he also had a scoring crisis in his last season for Silkeborg, just before he moved to the New England Revolution... Perhaps he is just the kind of player that too easily get unhappy and need too much time to settle at a new club.

Nah, all you got to do is give them tofu and beet juice when you lose the bet. That should keep them healty for a long time, so you won't miss out on any of their negativity.

Or better yet, how about tofu-flavored bacon for the worst of both worlds?

 

Actually for you and Monty my recommendation would be a High Colonic to improve how you see things.

 

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...
