Here are the game highlights, including the Rojas red card. Check it out.

Meanwhile, SBI reports Carlos Johnson’s injury may be more serious than anticipated. He has a broken foot, which will mean some hefty time off. Jeremy Hall will be seeing some serious minutes in the coming weeks.

The defense suffers a big blow, just when it was beginning to gel. But people have wanted to see what kind of skill Hall can bring to the table. How bad will Johnsons injury impact the Bulls? And will Hall be up to the task of filling his shoes?

I will have a game preview up for tomorrow most likely, but after a horrible and turbulant flight, all I want to do is hit the hay.

I am now in Houston Texas for Wrestlemania (and for that Booker T Legends of Wrestling event, the Ring of Honor Event, and the induction of Stone Cold to the Hall of Fame).

Forgive what will be my lack of posting. Either way, I will do my best to update the site as much as possible.

For a bit of RBNY news, Brian Lewis at the Post is reporting the possibility of Celades and Carlos Johnson debuting this weekend – what a coo!

And also, big ups to our boy Jozy Altidore for his hat trick, along with former Metros Tim Howard and Michael Bradley who are really holding things down at the National Team level.

Its good to be Metro Bull.

Ill be back tomorrow! Time to take a nap!

Here are you RB International Call Ups.

Jorge Rojas – Venezuela – The Vinotinto play the Albiceleste of Argentina this weekend. I will definitely be taking this game in.

Andrew Boyens – New Zealand – Boyens takes off to Bangkok for a friendly game against Thailand.

Carlos Johnson – Costa Rica – The recently signed defender will be repping his country this weekend against Mexico.

That can mean as many as 5 starters will not be available for the home opener. And who will be made available that wasn’t for game 1? Khano Smith will have a score to settle, as he debuts against his former team. But that is about it.

Here is a potential line up for the season opener:

———–Angel———-
——-Oduro————–
Smith—Sinisa—–Richards
–Pietravallo-Stammler—–
—–Hall–Petke-Mendes—
———Cepero———–

or

———Angel———–
Smith—-Ubi——-Richards
—Pietravallo-Stammler—
Hall—Petke–Mendes—Goldie
——–Cepero————-

It’s Business Time Folks (and this video is for you Andrew Boyens).

Tonight, the Red Bulls debut against Drew Carey’s Seattle Sounders. 20,000 emo kids will be screaming about the inequities of life in between Sounder chants, so expect an electric atmosphere.

I will be at Nevada Smith’s tonight in the city (74 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10003). Drop by, say hi to some of the ESC folks, and grab a beer with us.

If not, you do have other alternatives:

#1 – Watch the game on ESPN2 tonight at 9pm.

#2 – Escuchen el partido en espanol por radio WADO 1280. Tienen un stream por internet en esta direccion.

#3 – Follow along with our game tracker, as Travis will be liveblogging the game on the MLS Offside homepage.

And while your at it:

Metrofanatic has a fantastic look into the Red Bulls record all time against expansion teams.

I’d like to thank everyone for the SEATTLE v. RED BULLS BATTLE OF THE BLOGS entries. I’ve never seen Drew Carey more . . . ummm . . . compromised.

Now, let’s hope I can deface her blog with a win tonight!

Thanks again everyone! And come down to Nevadas . . . have a drink, sing some songs, and have a blast! IT’S ON (once again) LIKE DONKEY KONG!
