Wishful Thinking
We may be in the cellar but we are going to make the most of it
By: Melissa |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 |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 […]
Need a bar in the East Bay with Direct Kick
By: Melissa |So now’s the time for a healthy dose of positive affirmations brought to you by the good folks at The Offsides. I’ve got a new dilemma so I’m asking the internets for help on this. Turns out a small group of San Jose and Chicago supporters want to watch some of the […]
Learn to speak hip
By: Melissa |Everybody around here is waiting impatiently for the deets on Saturday’s tailgates (myself included). On the news front, Embele Awipi has an interview with Kei Kamara. Also, Joe Cannon was on last night’s Sports Sunday but the site doesn’t seem to have any video (lame). I got really bored yesterday while […]
Quakes coverage! Lots and lots of Quakes coverage!
By: Melissa | This is great. Now I can just point to all the extremely smart and thorough news articles out there and spend the rest of my time on this blog talking smack, posting irreverent and slightly inappropriate content, and just generally entertaining myself. So lets begin:
* Center Line Soccer has the scoop on […]
Tell Caltrains whats up
By: Melissa |If you are unfamiliar with the area around Buck Shaw stadium, let me tell you right now that parking is a bitch and on game-day, will probably be crazy expensive. Luckily, there’s a Caltrains stop two blocks away. Unluckily, on weekday nights, the last train leaves the stop a few minutes BEFORE the […]
I wasn’t serious about the chicken of the sea thing
By: Melissa |A friend of mine has a roommate who is currently trying to decide which law school to attend. He apparently got accepted to a few places but is dead set on NYU because after he spoke to a graduate at some event, she informed him she lived in Pacific Heights. He then rushed […]
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 […]
Jerseys now available at MLSgear
By: Melissa |The home and away official replica jerseys are for sale over at MLSgear. I’m posting a pic of the away kit because I think it looks the best. A mean $64.99 plus whatever extra fees will put one of these into your hott little hands - hopefully in time for the Chicago game […]
I’m an idiot (with an UPDATE)
By: Melissa |The USL site is streaming the Quakes v Toronto Carolina Cup game at 3pm on Saturday. They’ve moved the links to their streams over to the main USL Live page. Ok everyone in the Bay Area, pool your collective techie minds and start figuring out how to turn this situation into kick ass […]
