Real Salt Lake and San Jose, 1 and 2 in the West respectively, met in San Jose last night to duke it out for top spot in the West. Coming into the match the Quakes had been unbeaten in 4 games and Real Salt Lake had won 5 of 7. The previous 2 meetings between these two teams in San Jose went Real Salt’s way, with a 3-0 drumming in 2010 and a rain soaked 1-0 win in 2011. The last time San Jose defeated RSL was May 30, 2009, so some redemption was in order last night.

Sorry I haven’t been posting recently. Work and school have my schedule full. The Quakes won their first opening game since 2002 last week when they took down New England thanks to a Chris Wondolowski goal in the 15th minute. The team had several chances to extend their lead but ultimately pulled out the 1-0 victory. Yesterday the Quakes took on Houston in a special double header at AT&T Park in San Francisco. The Quakes went down 1-0 in the same minute they went up against New England last week, minute 15, thanks to a Brad Davis penalty conversion.

Wednesday, February 22, 2012. A new milestone in Earthquakes history.
The San Jose Planning Department voted 6-0 to deny an appeal to the proposed Earthquakes stadium near the Mineta San Jose International Airport. After almost 10 years of [hard] work, the Quakes are closer than ever to realizing a dream of having their own stadium.

The Quakes had 3 picks in the 2012 SuperDraft. In their first pick they selected a Generation Adidas forward from UC Santa Barbara, Sam Garza (seen above), with the No. 6 overall pick. The team picked up Jacob Hustedt, midfielder, from the University of Washington with the 25th pick (6th in round 2) and Chris Blais, goalkeeper, from the University of South Florida with the 33rd pick (14th in round 2).

Hey look, it’s Krazy George! Cracked.com ran an article titled “5 Sports Fans Who Ruined Sports” and coming in at number 4 was Krazy George. What did Krazy George ruin? Apparently the sanity of head coaches of most sporting teams.

The Montreal Impact selected Bobby Burling in the expansion draft yesterday. Head coach Jesse Marsch played with Burling on Chivas USA from 2007 to 2009. Marsch played as a defensive midfielder and Burling played as a defender while on Chivas USA. As such, Marsch was happy to select Burling during the expansion draft. Marsh selected and traded for a solid back line as he prepares for 2012.
It was confirmed yesterday by GM John Doyle that the Quakes would not pick up the option on Bobby Convey’s contract. This unfortunate because Convey is a good player, being named to the All-Star Team the last 2 years and winning Comback Player of the Year in 2010. Unfortunately Frank Yallop and Convey had a falling out this last year and Doyle thought Convey wasn’t playing to the ability his salary required. As such his option on the contract won’t be picked up and he’ll enter the Re-Entry Draft later in December. The final blow because of this move is that the Quakes won’t be able to get any money out of a potential trade.

Yes, that’s a rendering of the new Quakes stadium that I at least haven’t seen yet. It comes courtesy of the San Jose Planning Department, by way of CenterLineSoccer.com. A public hearing at city hall on Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. will be held to determine whether or not the Planning Department accepts the permit for the stadium. There was a community meeting in September for residents to voice concerns about the stadium. As such, the Earthquakes organization pulled plans to host concerts at the new stadium due to noise pollution. If all goes according to plan, the Director of the Planning Department will approve the permit and after a 2 week, successful appeal, the Earthquakes can finally start moving on building the stadium.
GO QUAKES!

Whaaaaaaat?! 2 posts in 2 days? What’s going on?
Yeah, as soon as I make my triumphant return to blogging, some big news drops 2 hours after I update and post. Oh well. The Quakes released their protected list last night and some interesting names are on the list and off the list. We’ll look at the lists after the jump.

… of the 2011 MLS Season as we know it. Welcome back everyone! Sorry I’ve been gone so long, school and work have been taxing but I should have managed my time a little better to make a few posts before now, so for that I am sorry. I’m not leaving the blog yet, and with the offseason upon us now week long absences between posts isn’t too out of the question until preseason training picks up in February. But like last preseason I’ll try to post something at least once a week and once big news items pop up. I do have a couple of interesting things to talk about today though.
