thank you sounders

there is much to talk about from yesterdays game… but you know what, let’s not. let’s not talk about how awful that pitch was (disgrace was the right word), let’s not talk about the long ball, let’s not talk about levesques poor clearance, let’s not talk about some of the lazy defense running and let’s not talk about out complete lack of ability to cross a ball into the box from the wing. no let’s not talk about any of that stuff (see what i did there?) instead… it is time to say thanks.

this season was a success any way you want to slice it, and there are 100 reasons why. so let me take some time to say thanks.
