What is up with Buck Shaw?

By: Melissa | Comments 7 Comments

As I was leaving work yesterday (Chinatown SF), I passed by a giant building, under renovations, with a sign in the window “Fisher Industries.” Clearly, the son of The Gap has an assload of money and he is not afraid to toss it around. Case in point – the Buck Shaw stadium […]

What did I miss?

By: Melissa | Comments 6 Comments

Turns out, I missed quite a lot. We lost our mojo against NY, but lucky for us, the next game is home (good). Unfortunately it’s against a team on a bit of a tear right now (bad). Jeff Carlisle says our midfield is starting to gel and no doubt this Saturday […]

San Jose v New York preview

By: Melissa | Comments 8 Comments

I’m leaving town this weekend so you get the preview a bit early. And what’s in store for us against the Red Bulls? We beat them once in pre-season and then we lost our mojo. But we got it back on Saturday against Colorado so I’m crossing my fingers we can keep […]

It’s true! Santa Clara University officially opened Stanton Field yesterday for the Quakes (and others) to practice on. Its a state of the art design with new drainage and a special new species of grass, created specifically with soccer in mind.

Italgreen, the Italy-based company that designed the field, will make its American debut […]

By: Melissa | Comments 11 Comments

So far he only has 7% of the votes and stupid Landycakes is winning. WRONG. Head on over to the official Quakes site to vote and vote often.
In the meantime, please enjoy the highlights from Saturday’s game.

Cancel the Viagra prescription, we scored (twice!)

By: Melissa | Comments 7 Comments

I guess we actually scored three times but a few of us in the bar weren’t sure why the Glinton goal got recalled (handball?). And after the recall, did it not cross your mind that maybe some asshole put San Jose under a freaky voodoo curse? Anyways, thanks to a simply fantastic shot […]

San Jose v Colorado preview

By: Melissa | Comments 11 Comments

A couple of stiff drinks at the bar on Saturday and this game will be like buttah. The MLS scheduling daemons couldn’t be more cruel this time around. We’re up against the current Western Conference champions and our new offensive help won’t be available until next week at the earliest.
Projected line-up? […]

If you’ve been living under a rock, then you don’t know we just acquired Jean-Philippe Peguero on loan from the Danish club Brondby. All I gotta say about this news is: Doyle does not f*ck around y’all! This dude is a goal scoring machine! Lessie… 14 goals off 46 appearances at […]
