Dear Sounders:
A Season Ends
But Love Goes On
Through all these games, roastin’ and freezin’,
We’ve loved this team far beyond reason
Through so many starts
you captured our hearts
Thanks, guys, for a wonderful season.

The Freddie Ljungberg Song, Sung to the Tune of “Oh My Darling, Clementine”
By: Laurie | 5 Comments
What can we say about this game? Um…. Let’s see. Maybe the word nerds among us could give a complete conjugation of the verb “To Suck”?
Or we could write a song dedicated to our argumentative Designated Player, who will be missing the next game due to yellow card accumulation because [...]
It Should Have Been 3-1…
By: Steve | 8 Comments
at half-time.
Jaqua, Montero, Ianni all should have scored. Montero could not have gotten any closer on his penalty, but Ianni and Jaqua both blew it from less than 5 yards out right in front of the net… Please, feel free to leave your laments, especially in the form of poetry and I will try [...]
Sounders Poetry: Reflections on Referees and Freddie’s Red Card
By: Laurie | 35 Comments
And Blanco Stayed on the Field…HOW?
OR: Reflection on Freddie’s first yellow
(for a “dive”)
and second
(for dissent)
Apparently blindness won’t get in they way
of being an MLS ref
but if Freddie must talk as he’s walking away

By: Laurie | 1 Comment
A little early on the Sounder Poetry this week, but inspiration cannot be denied. So without further ado, I bring you:
The Seattle Sounders Starting XI Blues
We’ve got all kinds of problems
Now that Freddie’s meeting Fred
And all these lineup issues
Are messing with my head
We’ve got too many wingers
And isn’t that the rub?
So should our Frenchman [...]
The Frightening Super Powers of Seattle Offside Poetry
By: Laurie | 2 Comments
Okay, so you know in various comic books and TV shows about super powers, where the hero/heroine doesn’t know the full strength of his/her powers and accidentally kills people all over the place before he/she learns to channel things in the correct fashion?
That’s kind of how I’m feeling right now.
Because you know my [...]
Our Weekly Dose of Sounders Poetry Dedicated to the Truly Amazing Kasey Keller
By: Laurie | 7 Comments
So last week in our new weekly tradition, Sounders Poetry, I wrote you some couplets about a few of our favorite players.
But apparently some of you (okay, one of you, I won’t name names, but it starts with a “K” and ends with an “en”) were less than happy that I left out [...]
It’s Time for a Little Sounders Poetry!
By: Laurie | 8 Comments
Ever have the kind of day that makes you want to throw it all away and move to Nantucket to start a limerick festival?
Yesterday was such a day.
I believe that this is a sign that it is time to bring back an old tradition: Laurie’s MLS poetry! (Of which [...]
