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.

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?
Dave Martinez

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?
Melissa

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.
Dave Martinez

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

MLS Cup, get ready for an Earthquake.
Melissa

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 and Smitty - happy Easter.
Dave Martinez

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 . . .
Smith

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?

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.
Dave Martinez

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.
Dave Martinez

Sam - it killed me. And they didnt fight back. And they didnt recover.

Mel - congrats.

Joe - it all sucked. Ill do I write up soon. Still disgusted.
Joseph

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?
Melissa

Are you serious? Shit... I jut got back from the bar and haven't watched the game yet...
Sam

That first goal! Damn! What was it, like, 20 seconds?
