The Day After: Revolution Squashed After Early Uprising

An old football proverb proclaims that to be the best you have to soundly wallop the worst. On Sunday, the Sounders (31points from 19) looked a side worthy of their recent ascent while the Revolution (15 from 17) continue to dwindle further into the abyss both on and off the field. Happy days are...

A Summarization of Thoughts

I actually don’t really want to be writing this but I am so f’ing frustrated and angry with our team right now, if only as a stress release for myself, I think I need to. Read and disagree with me all you like, but this is therapy for me now… better an angry blog...

November 22, 2010
By yamsmos

For all 3 of you that are keeping track, I haven’t posted since we got kicked out of the playoffs. That is how I handle defeat of a sports team I love. I shut down, plug my ears and fill my day with other things so as to not believe it to be true....

playoff matchup reaction

October 25, 2010
By yamsmos

The worst part about the current debacle around the season ticket holder price increase, is that we are all talking about it… instead we should all be talking about the playoff game against LA. Heading into the weekend, we didn’t know a lot about who we were going to play this coming Sunday. There...

friday junk n’ stuff, well, more like a rant from a grumpy blogger

October 15, 2010

I don’t get mad much… I haven’t been upset from much of what the Sounders front office has done. I didn’t care about Celtic being friendly B, and I didn’t care that Chivas was friendly C. I never cared that the band was in the GA (although that isn’t where I sit which has a lot to...

the expansion draft looms

While I don’t want to be Debbie Downer on our recent form, playoff run and USOC win…. there is a big fat black cloud hanging over the next few months. The expansion draft. Last year, we lost Le Toux. At the time, the fans were a little split. He was a very loved player...

Thursday Junk and Stuff

In looking at my schedule, I know I can’t get out a post tomorrow, so one day early will have to do. - As you saw, Zakuani got rated the #4 player, by majorleaguesoccersoccer.com in the 24 best players under 24. The two following were #3 DC’s Najar and #2 LA’s Gonzalez which can...

the bullet gods rule, and i love pumpkin beer…. the beer report

Forgive my grammar/typing/spelling tonight. It is all I can do to capitalize. I took my dad to the game and when we were 3 beers in before the game started… well that set the tone for the game, the post game, the post post game, dinner, post dinner and post post dinner. it is 9pm...

sounders win. bullets go 1 for 2

September 29, 2010
By yamsmos

I wasn’t there and I won’t pretend that I was. FSC changing the scheduled match to one that mattered at the last minute isn’t that surprising, but it did keep me from even watching the game at all.  While it was good to blood the kids a bit, it is still a shame that this, and...

sounders win on road again. massive 3 points

September 25, 2010
By yamsmos

As I write this, the bullet point list has made good on 2 of 3 games. RSL are losing to COL as I type, but the two most important results, Sounders winning and KC losing, are already in the books. I watched the game from a friends house. Just he and I with 4...
