Quakes 2009: Under Construction

By: Ian | Comments 2 Comments

Despite feeling a bit down about some aspects of the Quakes offseason in the past few blogs, lately I have been hit with the optimism bug about this upcoming season.  Blame it on the unseasonable warmth of the past few days, or the fact that opening day is inching ever closer, but things are beginning [...]

Playoff Pulse – Up Against the Wall Edition

By: Ian | Comments No Comments

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 [...]

“We Don’t Miss You Anymore”

By: Ian | Comments 6 Comments

Let’s get one thing out of the way first: L.A. will always be our most hated enemies and number one rivals.  That all being said, we have a new rivalry on our hands, ladies and gentleman, and Saturday night confirmed it.  The Houston Dynamo have found a place of revulsion and loathing in the hearts 0f Quakes fans [...]

Within sniffing distance…

By: Ian | Comments 4 Comments

It all just keeps coming up Quakes lately.  Tonight’s thrashing of Chivas by the Revs means that a win on Saturday against the Dynamo will push us into third place in the West.  Yes, that’s right, a play-off spot at last!  Mission accomplished, our operatives in New England have done well. 
Our destiny is truly in [...]

Back in Business

By: Ian | Comments 1 Comment

Thanks be to the soccer gods for finally kicking Comcast in the ass and bringing my internet service back to life!  In the meantime, I’ve managed to miss covering the best soccer the Quakes have played all year.  It has been positively awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping… i’m running out of adjectives here.  Point is I’m remembering all [...]

Like A Kid On Christmas

By: Ian | Comments 2 Comments

Look at all these wonderful new players!  After suffering through half a season of ugly and, let’s face it, often boring soccer, it’s exciting that there are finally new faces, the long-awaited reinforcements that will help us push towards a playoff spot.  Or at least that’s the hope anyway.  Biggest of all the signings, of [...]

Q, but no A

By: Sean | Comments 1 Comment

In theory, our Q’s will be A’d once the transfer window opens, but that doesn’t mean we can’t look at them now:
Right back – OK, Riley sucks. I mean, I’m sorry, I’m sure he’s a nice guy and everything, but he’s just no good. I don’t know if it was the own goal [...]

Quakes/Real Post-Game (Cunliffe for Prez Edition)

By: Sean | Comments 6 Comments

First things first: Had Dema not scored on that penalty, my prediction would have been dead-on. Just had to get that out of the way.
There really isn’t too much to say about the game, and as The Frank said, there really isn’t too much that can (or should) be taken from this game. [...]

More (gn)news with Gary Gnu

By: Melissa | Comments No Comments

It seems the Quakes weren’t going to let a silly little thing like the holiday weekend slow them down. There is quite a bit of news out today that should hopefully give the fans a few more reasons to stay positive about the team throughout the week.
Amir Lowery and Dan Benton signed with [...]

Soccer Saturday was in full effect yesterday

By: Melissa | Comments 5 Comments

In the course of a few hours I wound up following three different soccer games in three different cities: the Quakes/Revs game in Foxborough, the SF Seals game in San Francisco, and the Chivas/DC game in Los Angeles. (The Chivas game was brought to me via the magical gods of SMS and my friend [...]
