You have your mission 2009 Quakes, capture the trophy which has been named after Philip Anschutz, i.e. one of our mortal enemies and architect of the theft of our team from San Jose to Houston. I, like most Quakes fans, are more than happy with our new team, but we will never forget those who [...]

It was truly a great game last night, leaving a good feeling in the air that will get me through the offseason. All the disappointments of the past few weeks vanished, because the Quakes of our unbeaten streak were back, and next season looks to be promising. The players all looked loose and like they were [...]

Saturday is the last game of the season for Earthquakes fans. Soon will begin the most dreaded time of the year: the offseason. Yes, soon you will wake up in the middle of the night with the shakes, crawl over to your tv and cue up the 2003 highlight dvd. As your significant other wakes up and tells [...]

Truly, this has been one of the most frustrating ends to a season ever. It’s hard to believe that just a month ago, it seemed as if we were on top of the world. We were playing attractive soccer, scoring goals, winning games, and seemed destined for the playoffs. Since then, we have lost two [...]

Well, what can I say, the past few weeks have been rough for Quakes fans. It wasn’t too long ago that it seemed as if our ticket to the playoffs was pretty much booked and ready to go. Since then, the West has decided to stop sucking (well, except for the Galaxy), and MLS refs [...]

I had heard rumblings (har har) about this for a little while, but didn’t want to get anyone in trouble and let the cat out of the bag. Now that CLS has confirmed, I can talk about the Quakes partnership with Tottenham Hotspur, and what it will mean (if anything).

OK, so I was walking, not running, but still. And the tree was way bigger. Karma for saying we won’t make the playoffs? Maybe. But enough administrative make-fun-of-the-blogger stuff…
Before my near-fatal accident (kidding), I remember something about us playing a game tonight. Luckily, the DVR is armed and ready.
Supposed to [...]

I can’t help but use an old sports cliche today: it all comes down to this. For all intents and purposes, we are already in the playoffs. This is an absolute must-win game. One way or another, we will know by the end of tonight whether our playoff dreams are over or whether we will [...]
