want to travel europe? well get laid off

Posted by yamsmos on July 8, 2009 · Under News · View Comments 

our good friend mike, who does all the hard work around this blog is celebrating his recent departure from WAMU by traveling hungary, slovakia and austria (throw another shrimp on the barbie).

must be nice for him, but lame for you.

you are stuck with me for the next week. please forgive the lack of professionalism, lack off real news posts and lack of spell check. also, if the feeds act up (like it looks like they are now), i don’t know how to fix’m.

now you all see my true worth.

*single tear*

oh, and a little mouse (not bird) told me that USOC semi’s are pretty much guaranteed to be at starfire and they are working on TV, but it is a longshot.

    Well – with one of you gone, and the other pitch-side, I wager that nothing is happening on the site for the next week!  :D   I expect some amazing shots of a pitch somewhere in Europe, Mike!

    Looks like Houston is going to be down a few men:

    Cards:
    DF Bobby Boswell – Caution Accumulation
    DF Geoff Cameron – Caution Accumulation

    Injuries:
    OUT: DF Eddie Robinson (L knee surgery); DF Wade Barrett (L gastrocnemius strain); FW Cam Weaver (R groin)
    PROBABLE: DF Craig Waibel (R hamstring strain)

    International:
    FW Brian Ching (U.S. national team)
    MF Stuart Holden (U.S. national team)
    DF Andrew Hainault (Canadian national team)

    That puts 4 if not 5 of their DF’s out of the match, and both of the starters.   Geoff had 2 of their 4 goals in USOC play, one of only 2 starters to play in the match.  He knew he had the weekend off so might as well go have some fun.

    Houston’s previous match was on the 4th, with the only goal in the 18th minute by Kei Kamara.  3 yellow cards on Houston, one for delaying a restart, by Chabala, at the 46th minute.  Those sitting out for accumulation got cards for fouls.

    Sounds like a ripe time to take 3 points at home!  COME ON SOUNDERS SCORE A GOOAAALL, SCORE A GOOOAAALL,  SCORE A GOOoaaALL

    jt want a part time job? you just wrote a nice little piece. in fact, and i am not kidding about this, i may fully steal that in the next few days as a post.

    the pay is excellent (as you can tell by mike galavanting in europe) and the benifits? outstanding.

    I hadn’t heard about Cam Weaver.  I hate to say an injury is good news, but…  That’s good news!

    Sure thing Yamsmos,  pm me and I’ll toss a bit more in :)

    Ya know, having to put WaMu on your resume, Mike really did earn the time away. :-p

    Just to make sure everyone knows, there is an invasion after the Houston  match on Saturday – 6pm Mariners game at Safeco.

    Looking forward to the game on the 21st, here is the Houston schedule for July – I hope they use a lot of the “amigo energy”:
    1st @ Austin for USOC (W2-0)
    4th @ Kansas City for MLS (W1-0)
    7th @ South Carolina for USOC (W4-0)
    11th @ Seattle for MLS
    18th @ Toronto for MLS
    21st @ Seattle for USOC
    25th at home – New England is visiting them (if they get out of bed…)

    Oooooo  Houston is going DOWN!

    Asking why Keller has the ‘keeper vote for the MLS All-Star game?  Just the Keller / Howard match off will bring viewers!  I’m starting to worry about exhaustion issues,
