from game Sagu deserves a lot of credit, he used a sense of humor and good sportsmanship to talk
with fans and even the Cauldron guys were paying him respect before it was all over. That is
expected of the home goalie (and Danny Waltman does that well) but not the visitors.

I rarely post photos on this blog that are not mine but these are an exception. Gary Rohman is a
fellow photographer that I sometimes work with and a friend. He is the team photographer for
Sporting KC so many of the photos you see used in ads, posters and the website are Gary's. In
addition to being a very good commercial photographer, he shoots the games and has captured some
great shots.
A couple photos of Michael Thomas. Sporting KC acquired the right of first refusal to Thomas
earlier today for a fourth round Supplemental Draft pick. Presumably he will be signed soon. Last
year Thomas trained with Sporting KC and even made an appearance in a reserve match as the often
seen but rarely named "Trialist 1".
While the final score was not what the Comets were looking for, the game was still a success. Over
8,200 tickets sold and a bunch of fans got to see a traditional back and forth Comets-Wings rivalry
game. Throw in a fun reunion game, retro jersey's auctioned off for charity and the presentation of
the Turnpike Trophy to the Comets, it all added up to a fun evening.

It was really Alvarez's night. In addition to scoring two goals and having a couple thousand
t-shirts with his name and number on it handed out, he may have set a first for the Comets .
Alvarez may have become the first Missouri Comet to score at halftime when he proposed to his
girlfriend Jenni Ford and she accepted.
The Comets fell to the Wave Sunday afternoon. Leading 6-5 going into the 4th quarter, the Comets
were unable to hold off the experienced Milwaukee wave and fell to a final 11-6 loss. The absence
of Leo Gibson who was scratched right before the game was costly. Byron Alvarez scored 2 or the
Comets 3 goals in the game.
The Missouri Comets fell to the Blast over the weekend. After being down 8-4 at half time the
Comets rallied back to tie the score at 8 and take it to overtime. The Comets narrowly missed
getting a win on a Brian Harris shot that went off the post and back out. Baltimore scored shortly
after to give the Comets their first loss of the season.
CJ Sapong interviewed shortly after finding out that he had won the MLS 2011 Rookie of the Year. CJ
gave a small performance of the first draft of his Rookie of the Year rap. He also wants the fans
to help him get Hope Solo to the awards dinner. My article on examiner Many of CJ Sapong's
goals were acrobatic like this one against New York
Coach Kim Roentved talks about the victory and the Wings Coach LeBaron Hollimon discusses the game
and being an expansion team. Bryan Perez played for the Comets last and is now with the Wings Ryan
Junge had two goals in his second game as a Comet Junge played great defense in addition to scoring
and was the man of the match.
