Ok seriously, I can’t take credit for the awesome title. I nicked it off a comment over at Sacha Kljestan’s myspace page. Anyhooo, I’ve spent the last two weeks in bed with the flu from hell followed by a trip to Southern California where my family spent the entire “vacation” taking turns yelling […]
Fisher buys a teeny bit of Celtic, Cochrane does the happy dance
By: Melissa | 1 Comment
Whoa, conspirators get started. Last night, we all learned that Quakes and A’s co-owner John Fisher bought 3.24% of Celtic on Wednesday. While this may sound like the beginning of a cool alliance for the Quakes, I’m one of the cynical folks out there who believes this move is nothing more than Fisher […]
Its Combine Time

Well, I got that evil, terrible flu thats been going around. If at all possible, quarantine yourself from life immediately to avoid this one. I’m going to assume our Quakes took the necessary precautions because its full speed ahead for this week’s Combine. The list of participants were never officially released but […]

I don’t have any news or updates but I’ve been spending a bit of time trying to figure out the deal with our supporter groups – mainly the 1906/Ultras (sorry Casbah). So the 1906′ers started as the Victory supporters group then merged together with the Ultras who went all dormant and mad scientist-y after […]
Boys reinstated, Shaw retrofits won’t be ready, Scoobies set up their out of office replies
By: Melissa | No Comments
The controversy is (almost) over! A story over at Inside Bay Area reports that the High School students benched by the California Interscholastic Federation after attending the Quakes’ tryout tour and supposedly putting their amateur status in danger, were just reinstated. Whew. Unfortunately, Marie Ishida of the CIF is not letting this […]
Quakes stir up controversy… seriously, they do
By: Melissa | 2 Comments
It turns out, a few of the High School players selected to participate in the Quakes’ upcoming Combine are in danger of losing their amateur status and possibly getting kicked off their school teams. Seems a bit harsh but according to Marie Ishida of the California Interscholastic Federation, the Quakes violated a bylaw which […]

By: Melissa | No Comments
Its big news day down in Quakes-land and I’m still in the process of digesting it. I’ll start off with the stop the presses report: the home opener is against The Fire on April 12th in Oakland. Now if I understand how season tickets work, the Oakland games are not automatically included in […]
Benny come home
By: Melissa | 1 Comment
I read a very depressing blurb on today’s DuNord and my heart sank.
Benny Feilhaber - Derby County - did not dress, and his team lost 4-1 at Manchester United. The coaching change does not appear to have made any difference on the field, and Benny is not even getting to play any more.
I love Benny […]
