Meaningless Game . . . Right?

By: Dave Martinez | March 22nd, 2008

Its late. I am disappointed. And all seems bleak.

We lost a meaningless game against the Carolina Champion Earthquakes 3-0. Three. Nil.

How can a loss in a meaningless game manage to depress me so? Yes I know Jozy wasnt there. Neither was Freeman.

But 3-0?

Im taking some Nyquil. This is bad. And my thoughts need some rest before an extremely angry and emotional post flows through my fingers.

Goodnite folks.

  Jesus, this is not a good sign. Did the defense collapse? did the midfield just suck? Did they have a line in vegas or something?

  Hello Dave,

  Happy Easter to all. Did I not tell you in previous emails I am die hard fan. But they have a very poor team and will not win many games. Besided JPA my favorite player and Jozy sorry to say second class. The defense is horrible. And these bizzare signings .

  Take Care,

  Ken

  Hey Ken, welcome back.

  And Happy Easter.

  Ken . . . I am supposed to write up a season preview. But I CANT write up on what I have seen because I think I will be out of readers (depression = reading kryptonite).

  Until there are some signings (or at least till about March 28th) I am not writing a thing. Something has to improve.

  Ken, lets hang in there and hopefully, we will see some good.

  I know the feeling. Let’s call it “DC United 0 - 3 Richmond Kickers.”

  Even for our reserve squad that’s pathetic. They’re, what, TWO LEVELS below us?

  So trust me, man…I feel your pain. Only Barca 4-1 Valladolid is keeping me alive in light of the above PLUS Arsenal’s tragedy.

  Okay, as this is Easter, a day all about resurrection, here’s the positive spin. We aren’t really THIS bad because:

  1) We’ll have Altiodore & Freeman back soon
  2) We have 4 open Foreign spots that are going to be filled ASAP.
  3) No team can really be this bad.

  How’s that?

  Smith, you made me chuckle. I gotta say it.

  I am Mr. Half Glass Full, so your post is a welcome breathe of fresh air my friend.

  Lets get the Crew come April . . .

  Hey - I’m finally watching the game right now…

  So Angel is consistently cutting through the SJ defense but he doesn’t have a good strike partner right now. Your defense is meh. I dunno if its because it looks like Osorio is still trialing players (loads of subsitutions in the half). Anyhoo - clean up the back line and hope Bradley/Novak doesn’t keep calling up Jozy and you’ll be fine.

  Oh Mel. The sun is shining in San Jose isnt it? Even at night . . .

  MLS Cup, get ready for an Earthquake.

  Ha - I’m not ready to make that claim yet. I still think its going to be a rough first season for the expansion team. Angel is the first guy to really break the wall Cochrane/Garcia have going on for our backline. Thats not a good sign for us.

  It actually is a good sign - Angel is a superstar. How many of those will they encounter?

  The Earthquakes have an excellent defensive feel to em. They have to considering their hair thin depth up top. But its a great thing for an expansion team to have.

  Riley is on the wings now right?

  Riley was at left back then he got subbed out in the second half. I think Eric Denton went in for him. You keep thinking Riley’s a winger… I believe Guerrero was at left mid with O’Brien on the right - but O’Brien seems to want to go into the middle all the time. Its a bit of a wierd situation that I think Corrales and Grabavoy are dealing with ok. Still needs work though.

  Meh - everything needs work. Getting excited for the MLS season to start already?
