My Punishment aka I Never Welch On Bets.

Hey, Red Bulls fans, this post may say Dave is writing it, but it comes to you from Laurie over on Seattle Offside.

Great game last night, huh?

Oh, wait. Sorry. Forgot where I was for a second.

Seriously, though, Red Bulls are probably my third favorite team, after Seattle and the Galaxy, so I know what your boys are capable of. Can’t say I’m all that sorry they didn’t bring it last night, because 33,000 of us got to experience the adrenaline high of winning our inaugural game in a packed stadium. So on a personal level, I’m extremely happy. But I do know that this game doesn’t define your team.

I also really appreciate the Red Bulls fans who stopped by my blog to leave gracious comments. It’s great to blog on a site where the rivalries are good-hearted and the readers are good people. AND, since Dave has been sending me regular updates on the creativity you have shown in designing the pictures you were going to force me to run on MY page? I am heaving a huge sigh of relief that my boys came through for me.

(But I hope Dave can make more bets with the other bloggers so that your ingenuity is not wasted.)

In closing, I’d like to say you guys are great and I love your team. I wish good things for both of us in the upcoming season. (But just a little bit better for us. I mean, why shouldn’t a Western Conference team win the Western Conference?)

And thanks, Dave, for following through with the bet! You’re awesome!

(Thanks to Andy for the pic!)

    Laurie and Dave, you guys crack me up!
  • Edgar
    Bring Jeff Parke back!!!!!

    Where are the new players? This is the same line-up as last year. It's always Angel with no help. Can't wait for Khano and Celades... I think...
  • NYLee
    The only good thing about yesterday is that I'm leading (maybe for last time) the MLS Fantasy league!
  • Gian - I should really know better.
  • Phil
    the defense was HORRIBLE and Rojas played so damn deep angel was all alone... what a shit game!
  • Almedin
    Oh great.. the Red Bulls are STILL inconsistent! Our new defenders cant come soon enough!
  • Andrew
    We should make a second bet for the next time we play them...
  • Dave, maybe you need some counsel when deciding on bets? Has RBNY not taught us anything...
  • noLayupRule
    hahaha

    nice stuff.

    by the way Im pretty sure Dave just said something about ball bags, back lines and Johnson pushing up.
  • Who is that guy? Gandolf the Grey?
  • CUCS - its tough to discuss anything with a giant freddie ball bag hanging over our comments lol. But the back line will be significantly better with Johnson and Pacheco pushing up. Lets face it; Mendes and Goldthwaite arent those players. And Boyens and Petke will never be seen paired up again. Things will look up (just as long as we don't look UP to that pic up there)
  • CUCS
    Red Bull need a new back line.
  • Nolan
    never again...
  • NYLee
    My eyes! My eyes hurt! Oh, no!!!!
  • AHHHH! KILL IT WITH FIRE! KILL IT WITH FIRE!
  • this is too painful. cant wait to put up my weekend poll later tonight . . . . oh man. even typing the word "poll" is painful now . . . . oooof.
