Tickets are now on sale for the April 28 first game of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup against — yet again — RSL. (Starfire, not Qwest, so buy early. Only $15.)
I love the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. Just want to state that right off. And I can say this [...]

The usual Monday things. You know. Same ol’, same ol’.
1) Yet another Sounder is Player of the Week. This time it would be our Kasey Keller.
We could get jaded if this keeps up. But I’m pretty sure it would be nicely jaded.
2) We [...]

I spotted this picture over at Rod Mar’s photo site and just couldn’t look away. In case you can’t see the player buried in the hugs, that’s former USL guy Sébastien Le Toux.
It captures so much of our city’s transition, doesn’t it?
We’re a Major League city now. We have [...]

Three sets of numbers you’ll want to take a look at:
First, the current MLS standings, post-Week 2. We are sitting at the top, tied with Chivas on points (six each) but ahead on what I’m assuming is goal differential. (Eventually I’ll research this. I think top tiebreak is head-to-head, which is obviously [...]

Before you check out these highlights, two things:
First, I want you to bow down in grateful homage to the progressive folks at MLS, who make it so damn easy for bloggers to care about their teams.
What’s that you say? That sounded as if I were comparing them to someone else? As [...]

By: Laurie | 7 Comments
Just a few random thoughts as I try to thaw out my digits and extremities.
First, huge thanks to Sounders photographer Rod Mar, who gave me the match photo. (For those who’ve been living under a rock, that would be our Freddie Ljungberg in his Sounders debut.) Be sure to check out [...]

By: Laurie | 2 Comments
I’m not big on previews, given that they require a level of attention to detail, and my brain thinks details kind of suck. And that’s especially true today, when my beloved Equipe de France is also playing.
(Don’t ask, because I have no idea; true love is frequently inexplicable.)
So instead I’ll [...]

By: Laurie | 2 Comments
According to Jose Romero over at the Seattle Times, Jeff Parke and the Sounders have parted ways. The press release says it was the player’s decision, and that Sounders still hold his MLS rights. (So if he wants to play for any other MLS team, that team will have to give up something [...]

Looks like the guys have discovered that there are some perks to being professional athletes.
Here we have defender and draft pick Evan Brown (remember Evan? sorry, Mandy!) at a post-game party last week.
It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.
When you click on the links, I’m [...]

Congrats to everybody who voted for our very own Fredy Montero for the Goal of the Week. We won it for him!
(Don’t thank us, Fredy. It was the least we could do for the kind of joy you provided the city. Seriously, I’m thinking that in nine months, around December [...]
