- La Prensa Honduras says he has passed the test - and George Welcome will inevitabley play in Major League Soccer (I know this hasnt been reported this side of the Mexican border, but its coming straight from the horses mouth here).

Now, the question remains, for which team?

As if the economic stimulus package wasn't enough to encourage the nation to put a little extra dough into the countries money stream, Wall Street has decided to bring in the big guns - The Red Bulls will be ringing the opening bell for NASDAQ today!

Agoos and Osorio will be on hand, along with Van Den Bergh, Stammler and about 20 other Bulls.

Hey everyone. I am back.

There has been some construction in my office that forced me off the internet for nearly four days. I never knew technology could cause withdrawals . . . . but here I am, back to the old bloggeroo.

And here is some stuff I've missed (and maybe you have too) this week:

+ As some of you already know, Gabe Cichero and Jorge Rojas won't be there for the leagues induction of RSL's new soccer specific stadium.

- Would Jeff Cunningham be the cure for our goal scoring needs up top? Would he be a good fit with Angel's game? If you are day dreaming, not so fast. Cunningham's baggage has ruled him out of the Red Bulls plans, so says King Blogger Ives. A Cunningham signing, especially in light of TFC's current scoring woes, would have been a grasp of desperation by the organization.

You know what happens when you take two days out of your work week to take a small vacation? You get two times the work on your desk to hammer out when you get back. Thats what.

Here is whats happening in the world of the Bulls:

+ Details have emerged on the nature of the Macoumba Kandji transfer package.

Here are some of the more interesting Red Bulls tidbits that have slipped through my ever typing fingers:

+ Do you know we are playing Chivas twice this week? And that there is no chance we will see Guzan in nets for both games? That is because Chivas Guadelajara is hosting our Red Bulls in an international club friendly at the University of Arizona.

+ Jorge Rojas is in camp with the team, as are Pietravallo, Cichero and Jimenez. All would like this weekends Galaxy game to be their debut, but none can be confirmed. I guess they have 4 days of training to prove their worth.

+ George Welcome is in camp as well.

First off, permit me to apologize for over 3 days of none posting - a record for this blogging nerd. I will have pictures of what the hell I have been up to soon. In the meanwhile, I figure a good old "All The Bull" should bring everyone up to speed on things. Again, my sincerest apologies.

Riding the high of the DC game, alot of interesting and odd ball news has been popping up left and right.

Good evening. After taking the day off of work to snag some fish on my family boat, and capping the night off with some roller hockey, I am about ready to collapse. What kept me awake? The Emergency Broadcast System. That noise bugs me out to no end - so damn creepy.

So here I am, wide awake.

The news is so dry, so boring, so deplete of real meat that I am forced to update you all on news that simply 2 days ago, I considered unimportant.

For instance . . . .

GABE CICHERO FINDS A NEW JOB

I found this nugget out before it made the US Blogosphere - and I skipped out on reporting it, since I figured no one would care.

It was an interesting weekend poll, with the question being: How do you feel about Juan Pietravallo returning for the 2009 season? It has been part of the ripple effect of questions that has developed since Juan Carlos Osorio did his mini press conference last week.

Hey y'all.

Before anything, I would like to address this major issue: I HATE ALLERGIES. Last year was the first year I had ever gotten em, and I hate it even more this year. Absolutely hate.

But on the bright side - I did catch 6 bluefish and a striper this week. So spring is good for something.

Hey everyone. Its been a busy news day:

+ Eric Brunner, our 2nd round pick and first pick in the 2008 draft, has decided to forgo the meager amount of money that befits a developmental player and will begin exploring options in "USL and Europe" according to his agent (SBI has the scoop).

So I walked into my building today to get to my apartment. I head upstairs and the dog is going nuts - its been like 8 hours since I walked him last. But there is a problem - Boca v. Atlas was already started, in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals. As the whining reached a fever pitch, I swung open the door, and "Dexter" ran out to the hallway.

Here are some tidbits on the Red Bulls for this week:

+ As many know, the Red Bulls have signed Andrew Boyens, a central defender with Lurch like height, formerly of Toronto FC, to shore up some depth for our back three. Now the early clammoring has been "Why Boyens?

Hey everyone. Alot of things have been going on and I have fallen way behind. Forgive me.

Here are some highlights of the past week, and today.

- The Red Bulls have found themselves facing Houston in the first round. Yes, the Western Conference Houston Dynamo. How? For the uninformed, the final wild card spot, based on the entire leagues aggregate point standings (single table), found the Red Bulls barely squeeking in with the very last spot.

There is alot of stuff going on this week, so lets get at it:

- There are now over 200 Red Bull supporters traveling out to Los Angeles, California to catch this historic game. ESC will be alive and kicking, along with Raging Bull Nation, and the rest of the RB supporters.
