		<description>why am i not excited that NY lost so badly?

lol maybe because this league &amp; season were so freakin stupid.

i hope francis doe and james freakin thorpe score ten goals and columbus faint in their seats. just simply to entertain.

nah, even better: we bring back roberto moreno and he red cards every member of the columbus team for time-wasting after kickoff.

hahahahahahaaaaaaaaa

NOPE, better yet! roberto moreno STARTS AS GOALIE and scores the game winning goal

or even louis crayton scores a BS penalty in the 90th minute to get us in the playoffs.

nah. best scenario of all: columbus guys dont even get off the bench but cower in fear at us because all of a sudden they see louis crayton and james thorpe attacking roberto moreno ON THE PITCH by lobbing beautiful shots at him as he&#039;s shrinking into the goal.

hahahaaaaaaaa. all i want is an entertaining last game to this joke of a season.

and yeah, i really am sane. just tired.</description>

		<description>When the season is officially over I&#039;ll add on to this, but right now I don&#039;t want to jinx our slim chances by looking ahead to the offseason.  I just want to get in the playoffs right now.  I&#039;m not ready for the offseason.

Can&#039;t we just extend the MLS regular season a few more weeks?</description>

		<description>re--didn&#039;t know Ben is supposed to get healthy--in that case, I&#039;m all for keeping him. I just didn&#039;t think he would ever heal.

As far as Cordeiro goes, I dunno what it is about him. Maybe it&#039;s just seeing him up close and live at RFK every time I&#039;ve been there, while I haven&#039;t seen most of the others. For example, Janicki I haven&#039;t seen much of but am not looking forward to seeing more of...

Gomez, of course, is wishful thinking--I doubt he&#039;ll be back. But I agree with kicking out Gallardo.

Oh and Cordeiro (sorry 1 last thing) is more of a potential player, not someone I see for right now (as in, if we have too many options, he&#039;s not someone I&#039;d prioritize).</description>

		<description>Off-the-cuff rebuttal...

1. Who&#039;s replacing Tom Soehn?
2. DPs are gonna be older and therefore injury prone -- that&#039;s a risk. They must be game-changers that fit the team. Gallardo has shown himself to be both. When he&#039;s on the field, DCU is miles better. Keep him (bird-in-the-hand), or skip the DP altogether.
3. Gomez? Love him, but that&#039;s living in the past. I don&#039;t think he&#039;ll be back.
4. Draft picks... I agree, we need to take them seriously. Always a gamble, but we need fresh players who can step up.
5. PG United!
6. Not sure how many I get, but among the quasi-starters, I&#039;d protect: Tino, Gurrerro, Vide, Simms, Janicki, &amp; Boyzzz.
7. Crayton&#039;s a keeper of a keeper. If we had him all season, we wouldn&#039;t be sweating the playoffs. Drop Wells and find a better backup/challenger.

ajani:
Drop Ben?! Last I heard, he&#039;s due for full recovery in the off-season! As long as he&#039;s healthy, he&#039;s on the field. He leaves for coaching on his own schedule.

Cordeiro protected? Really? Good kid, but on the tail end of my list.

Jury&#039;s out on the Gonzolos. Neither one&#039;s perfect, but they&#039;re among the best we have. Janicki was looking pretty good too. In any case, we need to build defense, not gut it.

IMO, of course. Cheers!</description>

		<description>evaldo-- are you joking? Simms&#039; DM magic holds us together on the field. heck no.

jon--ah, I see. I want to get rid of Gallardo too, frankly, but I haven&#039;t seen enough of him to really tell...and if that happens again, it could be too late.. bleh</description>
