Ann Killion: Dropping science like Galileo dropped the…

By: Melissa | February 12th, 2008

Hey guys, the Merc has an article on Wednesday’s game complete with quotes from Doyle and Kinnear. Yay. Thanks Ann. So to sum it all up, the Dynamo turned down Doyle’s request to interview Kinnear for SanHo’s head coach job but Kinnear isn’t unhappy. In fact, he says the idea of moving away from his current position would be “unethical.” But he is a little worried fans will boo him this week.

Little did I know, Doyle and Kinnear are friends going waaay back to their childhoods in Fremont. And with that in mind, calling these upcoming exhibition games friendlies couldn’t be more appropriate. The article is short and has very little new Quakes news. Basically, the roster is still incomplete and Doyle says he’s focusing on the talent in camp now but doesn’t rule out adding some new players:

The Earthquakes team that takes the field this week should be pretty close to the one that opens the season April 3 in Carson. But Doyle just returned from a scouting trip to Argentina and said his team might add players in the coming weeks. “I’m very excited to see what we have,” he said.

I’m pretty sure the Quakes never released a list of who is in camp and since I can’t find any big-name signing rumors this week (unless you count Corrales), I’m really pulling for the younger players to step up and shine during these games. C’mon Shea, Adam, and Danny… even you, Kei. Put a couple in the back of the net. Think of all the beers us fans will buy you after the games (you guys are over 21… right?).

On a personal note, I just bought a new camera (my last one got stolen) so I hope to have a bunch of pictures of Saturday’s game up on this blog. And to everyone, get excited! Its almost game time!
