Twitter has changed my life. For reals. Basically, anything that I can accomplish via text message is a win win situation for me. And I twitter all the time (if you’d like to read my gibberish, it really shouldn’t be too hard to find me on their site) so this review will [...]
Still no mojo

So we walked away without a goal but so did Dallas. I think out of all the match reports I’ve read, Embele Awipi put it best: Quakes keep shooting blanks in tie with Dallas. We created lots and lots of chances throughout the game, but yet again, could not finish them. And [...]
San Jose v Dallas preview

Finally, the Buck Shaw home game is here. Finally, there’s a reason for me to go to San Jose that doesn’t involve sitting in a data center for hours on end. Finally, the weather has cooled down enough for me to rock a neon blue wig at this thing. But don’t expect [...]
What is up with Buck Shaw?

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 [...]

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 [...]

I got this email in my Inbox on Saturday:
Thank you for your request for post-game train accommodations after the San Jose Earthquakes’ games in Santa Clara.
Unfortunately Caltrain is not in a position to add service because of budget reasons, besides which management does not believe that the demand is there to warrant the addition of [...]

Sometimes when I’m really f*cking bored and drunk (which is often), I go on Priceline and offer $1 for fancy ass hotels and sh*t. One day, a hotel is going to accept! [...]

I’m 99% positive my friend took this photo during Oakland’s first Fridays pretentious self-congratulatory art walk sh*t-fest. Can you tell I am not a fan? There are so many terrible things I want to say about this picture right now (but not about my friend who took the photo, she’s great).
Moving on… this [...]
What’s next for the Scoobies
By: Melissa | No Comments
Ok, so the metaphor is back. I can’t help but think of it every time I discuss our coaching staff… so it stays. I’m also a fan of associating our guys with this. My thinking here has everything to do with comparing San Jose to Los Angeles and nothing to do with [...]
Leetle things

All is seemingly quiet today. Kelly Gray got waived and I guess we didn’t pick him up? I am of the opinion we don’t need him but I’m still a bit sad we didn’t just grab him anyways. I don’t know if he’ll wind up with another team or just focus on [...]
