Good news for the Sounders is that Donovan has fallen ill for the weekend and is out for the game

The Sounders do have though Sebastien Le Toux and depending on the game another midfielder on the bench and just signed Leo Gonzalez (Costa Rican Defender)

Tyrone Marshall was playing in the Gold Cup for Jamaica but Jamaica got eliminated, so I don't know if he is back yet or not.

Injuries have really set back the Sounders too with Alonso getting hurt recently and Ljungberg being hurt for the last two games. That's hurt the Sounders a lot

Well I'm always going to be defensive when it comes to the Sounders I mean its basically a natural reaction when it comes to defending a favorite team. Its also 5 games into the season for being the inaugural season and all two game losing streaks will happen. I'm just saying that its not something your gears should be grinding about (at least right now).

The Sounders grind your gears? Really? So basically what grinds your gears is losing so did the Mariners' grind your gears two days ago too?

How is that different from any other sport in that there is a lot of copying of styles when it comes to cheering or anything related to a sport? And wouldn't you want the sport that you love to start spreading more and more so that everyone else sees why you love it?

Yeah it wasn't the smartest play but as a goalkeeper your goal is to not let them get a chance for a shot and not to let them score. Keller was trying to keep it from having a 1 v 1 in the box and he was just going to go boot it out of his end, but seeing the KC player coming faster towards the ball he made a smart play to go after the ball or he would have been easily chipped. From replays it looked like he was trying to slide tackle the ball but with the diving form leaving his hands exposed and when the opposing player tried to have the ball go around Keller it hit his hands which is unfortunate, but Keller made the right call coming out of the box.

I also wouldn't call Keller the main reason we lost because Dragavon made a couple nice saves in replacing Keller, but this is a team of 11 players and not just one. You could nail anyone with the blame. You could blame the offense for not finishing a few times when the opposing goalie was actually out of the net, you could blame the defense for not stepping out on the KC Forward before he took the shot, etc. But you can't put the blame on Keller

Really a D for the Sounders? Yeah they lost, but it was only 1-0 and considering that they were down a man for a full 60 or so minutes they took way more shots than KC and showed that they can compete even without Kasey Keller. They played solidly for a full 90 minutes and didn't give up after they allowed the goal, so I wouldn't give them a D just for simply losing a game because every team will eventually lose every once in a while

I wouldn't say that Brockman had an off night. He still got his Double Double with 10 points and 15 rebounds and kept Varnado to only 7 points, so I wouldn't say he had an off night

Joe Lunardi has the Huskies as a 3 seed not a 4 seed playing in Portland.

His second dunk in the first round I felt was a little weak

What's the news on Bob Santucci?

Re: Super Bowl Open Thread

AlexW — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 00:53:52 -0000

I'm just saying he is the most valuable for a team in the league because without him there might have been two winless teams this season.

If we are talking about the WR most important to their team I think eon is right with Andre Johnson because can you name any other player on the Texans line up besides their two QB's. Plus Johnson led the lead in Recieving yards, Receptions, converted 79 1st downs for the Texans, and came in second for most yards per game with 98.4 yards per game. So if we are talking about the WR most valuable to their team its Andre Johnson.
