Song of the Week (Early, Scum-Fueled Edition)

Not a lot of news in QuakeLand today, so I figured I would go ahead and start the Galaxy hate fest. I hate the Galaxy. I know, hate is a strong word, blah blah blah. That’s fine. I hate them. I hate everything about them. I hate their fans, I hate their players, I hate their jerseys, I hate their mascot, I hate their stadium, I hate their front office, I hate everything about them.

But.

Like anything that one truly does abhor, there is also a level of respect there. Many fans would never admit it, but behind every great rivalry, there is respect of the opposition. Do I respect Ruiz for his constant theatrics? Of course not. But there was a time when there was no more-feared striker in the league than him. Once he got in to the penalty box, you knew you were screwed because he was going to either score, or draw a penalty. Sometimes both. Do I hate Donovan? Clearly. But do I understand, and can I admit, that when he is on, he is the best player in the league? Yes. But before you think I am going all soft, don’t you fret.

Touché.

For this week’s Song of the Week, it strikes a chord personally, because I will be in town for this match. And coming from Portland (the high was 56 degrees today) (yes, in June) (yes, I’m pissed) (yes, I’ll stop complaining) to the warm California sun has me beyond excited. Looking now, the forecast for Saturday in Oakland is a high of 85. And that is good news.
