Many thanks to Ian for his recent Playoff Pulse update as well as his suggestions for things to do this weekend because the away game against Houston got canceled. I’d like to toss out one more to-do suggestion as well. Straight from the fine folks over at FuncheapSF, the Final SF Cardboard Tube [...]
Every Time a Person Stops Writing About the San Jose Earthquakes, God Kills a Kitten
By: Melissa | No Comments
I’m pretty sure the Earthquakes PR department does not read this blog but it is a weird coincidence that I wrote this little bit of ridic in my last post…
We win, I have a fun & relaxing time at the game, then my friends and I go somewhere else and get wasted.
and today I receive [...]

Been tossing this idea around for a while now, figured I would flesh it out a little bit here. Note: this is MLS only.
Today’s Entry: The Front Office
Front Office
Peter Bridgwater
I’ll let his Wiki page do the talking: “He had been involved with professional soccer in San Jose since 1984, when he was named [...]

Hello Sean & Ian? You still around? Seriously guys, don’t punk out on The Offside. I even sent Sean a Facebook message demanding he not punk out on The Offside. Don’t do it. See, I’m quite happy and settled over at the WPS Offside now and I’ve almost completely stopped [...]

That little thing I like to call LIFE is getting kind of hectic up in hurr and I think it’s time for me to actively seek a co-blogger. I’ve been meaning to open this up to the floor for a while and I figure – hey – the Quakes actually won a game so [...]
Category: Wishful ThinkingThe campaign begins NOW
By: Melissa | 4 Comments
I’m jumping on the campaigning bandwagon here at the San Jose Offside. Perhaps inspired by the Democratic nomination campaigns and Oakland’s upcoming city council election campaigns.

Kei Kamara’s goal! It’s time to win the Sierra Mist (whoosh) Goal of the Week.
Ok, so wordpress got updated last night and it appears I cannot embed MLS video right now. Just go here to watch the damn goal.

An open letter to Nate Jaqua

The Goal Seattle blog reports that you got out of your contract at SCR Altach and you are now back in Oregon, sitting on your ass, perhaps doing nothing (besides getting that Nats call up). Gardening? Catching up on Lost episodes? Who knows. I’m sure whatever it is, it’s personally very [...]

If you watched Saturday’s game, you know there were a lot of corner kicks. There were so many corner kicks, our little section wondered if the Quakes were in the process of breaking a new record. Well whaddya know, we did!
The Earthquakes and Columbus Crew combined for 25 corner kicks Saturday night at [...]
Caltrain sucks ass
By: Melissa | 5 Comments
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.
