Best Trades of 2009

Eric Brunner trade turned into a solid deal for Columbus. (Getty Images)

Since we are nearly done with the 2009 regular season I figured it was high time we started looking back at the best deals that were made that shaped this season into what it has become. I say going into every year that there will pretty much be a trade that shakes up things a bit when it happens and really helps push a club towards the playoffs instead of an early start to winter.

The Offside 13 June @ 03:00 PM EST
So what do Columbus Crew players talk about when they're not talking about soccer? My guess would be: not classic literature or opera. Why do I think this? Take a look at these interview answers from Columbus guys Eric Brunner and Danny O'Rourke: Who is the "Don Juan" of the team? Brunner: [. Click to continue reading...

All The Bull - Brunner, Jozy, Arena and My Dog

The Offside - NY Red Bulls 21 May @ 10:53 PM EST

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.

The Offside - NY Red Bulls 15 May @ 08:21 PM EST

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).
