Song of the Week
San Jose v Columbus preview
By: Melissa |Ok guys. I had a fantastic preview post saved in my drafts, but wordpress decided to swallow it instead. Now I’m starting from scratch again. Here’s the deal. Not only am I a complete luddite when it comes to crap like “User UI” and “WYSYWIG,” but I also know nothing about […]
San Jose v New York preview
By: Melissa |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 […]
San Jose v Colorado preview
By: Melissa |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? […]
San Jose v Chicago Preview
By: Melissa |Here’s my attempt at a proper and thorough preview of Saturday’s game. After last week’s fiasco, we will – uh, not necessarily win this one, but we will certainly perform better if A) our central defenders and “the David Beckham of San Jose” collectively pull their heads out of their asses and B) our […]
Deer in headlights
By: Melissa |Note to ESPN2: not enough bench shots. Also, I don’t care if Bob Bradley is eating a hamburger unless he’s feeding it to Posh Spice.
Ok, so I started reading all the articles on last night’s game but screw it. I don’t care if that offsides call early-on changed the game and broke our […]
Is “our little expansion team” a good nickname or bad?
By: Melissa |I know the season is upon us because Luis Bueno created a new “2008 rankings” tag on the Sideline Views blog and posted his first list. San Jose is dead last. But, Bueno added the quip: “Only one way to go.” Double true. There are a handful of season previews for […]
Coffee with Doyle?
By: Melissa |I think many of us got a pretty interesting email in our Inboxes yesterday. Turns out, Soccer Silicon Valley has a new incentive plan for members to recommend new season ticket buyers. If we hit certain marks, we get a few gifts that I have to say are very original. So here’s […]
If you listen closely, you can hear the emo girls cry
By: Melissa |Here are your Tuesday Earthquakes odds & ends to get you through the day.
* Last night, I had a fit of inspiration and wrote up my season preview for the club. Go check it out. I’m really happy with it.
* Jamil Walker is in training camp with the Quakes. Does this mean […]
I will kick your prom king ass
By: Melissa |Here are Thursday’s Earthquakes Odds & Ends to get you through the day:
* According to the economic impact summary for the proposed SSS (and my fandom certainly DOES NOT extend to reading that thing) the new stadium will include a concert stage. Personally, I don’t have an opinion about this one way or the […]
Another slow news day
By: Melissa |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 […]
