Montero Gets Called Up for Colombia. Which Basically Sucks.
By: Laurie |Boys and girls, I have some good news and some bad news.
The bad news is that Fredy Montero has been called up for Colombia and will miss some games.
The good news is… Um… Hold on a sec. Thinking…thinking…

Rave Green Links, PLUS the Real Cause of Freddie’s Migraines
By: Laurie |(Photo: SkySports)
Freddie Ljungberg was hospitalized with another migraine immediately after the All Star game last night. I blame Tim Howard. (Seriously, look at the photo. He’s wrinkling the scalp. I don’t think that’s healthy.)

Stamford Bridge in the Seventies? Try Qwest in the Aughties

why can’t the guy also be deaf?
Liveblog: Seattle Sounders FC. Chicago Fire
By: Steve |So, a bit of revenge from Chicago who drew with Seattle in Chicago. A day of missed opportunities for Seattle but quite a game for Busch, who had maybe 6 saves on the day, several coming on one-on-one opportunities. Feel free to leave your thoughts and comments on the game.

Catching Up: More All Stars, Montero to Fulham (Or NOT), Hanauer’s Biggest Payne and Other Fun Stuff
By: Laurie |The toughest part about blogging is trying to decide what to write about when you’ve been gone. Do you try to catch up on everything, or just pretend it never happened (or that everybody’s read it elsewhere) and start fresh?
I’ve had to use my blogging time this week over on the main [...]
