The NFL's Giants Stadium was once a famous venue of American soccer, a must-be-seen place with
packed crowds and Pele in the 1970s.
Then the New York MetroStars, later rebranded to Red Bull New York, started playing there almost
two decades later in Major League Soccer.
As the Red Bulls laid the final piece of sod today at their new, impressive Red Bull Arena in
New Jersey, some current players took the chance to express their feelings about Giants Stadium and
the support they (did not) receive there.

Though the rain may have followed it's way over from Giants Stadium to Red Bull Arena, and the
sky was as gray as ever, it could not dampen nor cast a shadow on today's accomplishment. Ladies
and Gentlemen, say goodbye to plastic turf; the final piece of sod is in place, and the Red Bulls
Kentucky Blue Grass pitch is finally complete.

Alrighty ladies and gents, while some may be writing about postseason plans with passionate
pride, I will be doing my darndest to keep things interesting around here till March of 2010. And
when a team isn't in the playoffs (holla TFC, and San Jose!), the front office has to do the
same.
It is in that vane that the Red Bulls announced their awards for team MVP, Defender of the Year,
Newcomer of the Year, Rookie of the Year and Fan of the Year.

It is one hell of a night for a stadium finale.
The New York Red Bulls are playing host to Toronto FC tonight in the regular season finale for
both and the final soccer game at Giants Stadium. New York fans might feel some sense of nostalgia
as this long-time home for soccer closes, but TFC fans only care about one thing.

How many times have you heard a sports journo or commentator use the phrase "That kid's got
heart!" It is one of those cliches that stands the test of time, much like the classic "he gives
one hundred and ten percent every play," and the ever so popular "he never takes a play off. He is
always competing!

So long, farewell &Â good bye. This coming Saturday, October 24th will officially be the very
last time that this club (MetroStars & Red Bull NY) in the NYC metropolitan area & US Soccer will
call home. This famed stadium named after the NFL team that plays their pointy ball seasons also
shares it with the other football league in the American first division.

Game story
Notable: In the 12th minute Red Bulls defender Mike Petke moved into the tenth position in MLS
history in minutes played. He's played 24,459 minutes over 12 seasons for three teams.
Quotable: "We make one mistake in 90 minutes and we got punished," said Preki.

Though some people may not agree (NLR, I am looking at you bud!), Andrew Boyens
has been solid the last two games for the Red Bulls. He made key defensive plays to stop the
Columbus attack this past weekend, highlighted by a beautiful diving header clearance. Not bad for
someone who has been riding the bench all season.

Mike Petke gives us an inside look on the day of Juan Carlos Osorio's resignation on his new
blog entry this week. What is clearly learned is that Richie Williams is inspiring the team to
rally through the end of the season. And what seems to be implied is that Osorio just couldn't.
Here is an excerpt of the entry:
Now fast forward to Aug.

It's finally happened. If you considered the term dead man walking, it's now become dead men
coaching and sport directing. This terrible and disgusting season for RBNY will end on the names of
Jeff Agoos and Juan Carlos Osorio as Stefan Bondy of the Bergen Record has reported from Red Bull
in Austria that these men won't be brought back to fix this mess into next season and the first
season of Red Bull Arena.

What is left of the New York Red Bulls dismal season will either survive or perish tonight when
the Red Bulls take on W Connection in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions League series.
The task is simple. If the Red Bulls win or tie by a goal or less, they advance to the group
stage of the Champions League.

Grant Wahl's new book, "The Beckham Experiment," has been the talk of the
American soccer landscape since excerpts were made available on Sports Illustrated. The picture
painted was one of angst, confusion, and pain as two of the best players in the league struggled to
meet eye to eye during the Galaxy's nightmare 2008 season.

New York Red Bulls defender Mike Petke has received a two-match band and a$500 fine for...drum roll
please...mouthing off to officials. Are you kidding me? Mouthing off? Really? Two matches for
dissent? What in the name of Donald Trump's bar hair piece is going here?
What...oh wait, Jair Marrufo is involved.

One point down, 39 to go, and 14 games to do it. Toronto FC represents the next "road block" for
the Red Bulls, who are scrambling to find points to keep this season alive. But points won't come
easy.
TFC boasts one of the strongest midfields in the league. Lead by the surprisingly cohabitable
tandem of Guevara and DeRosario, the Maple Leafs have been a terror to all
visitors this season.

John Wolyniec is my dog. He and Seth Stammler are the current and potentially eternal holders of
the TOR Award For All-Around Nice Guys Who Are Not Flashy, Play Well and Give No Dramaâ„¢. I didn't
know he was a guitar player though; this is what I get for going to the stadium pub before the game
and not after the game.

MLS Puts up alot of great youtube videos from around the league. This one features, among other

Jorge Rojas, the Venezuelan National team captain, and Red Bull midfielder, has
played against some of the finest competition there is during his soccer career. Nurturing his
craft in the CONMEBOL region for years, his Vinotinto routinely faced some of the worlds greatest
teams, including Argentina and Brazil.

Mike Petke, the centerback for the New York Red Bulls, is a bit of a folk hero
around these parts. Petke became a beloved figure for his promise of revenge after Tampa Bay Mutiny
player Mamadou Diallo kneed Metrostars keeper Mike Ammann in the
rib cage and stepped on his face in the moment forever etched in Metro Bull history as "The Crime
of the Century.

Good morning world! It is a bright and sunny day which can only mean a very busy day at the
office. I will be at the ESPNZONE in Times Square from 1230-230 covering the second annual Red
Bulls Iron Chef Cookoff.
Last year, the team of David Roth, Sinisa Ubpiaparipovic, Danleigh Borman and Luke
Sassano (aka "The Hot Carls") took the ultimate prize in the competition, laying all
others to waste.

Hey all,
Sorry for not being around this weekend. Fact is, I haven't seen a computer screen in over 48
hours, and between the Red Bulls win, and technologically induced withdrawals, I am actually happy
to say I am glad to be at work. Computer, I missed you.
On to the game!
First off, I think everyone should take a little time to show some love to Coach
Osorio.

John Wolyniec's 80th minute goal lifted New York Red Bull to a 2-1 victory against the San Jose
Earthquakes in a U.S. Open Cup play-in match at Buck Shaw Stadium. Mike Petke opened the scoring
for New York after only 2 minutes. It took San Jose until the 71st minute to level the scores
through a Pablo Campos strike only for New York to secure the victory 9 minutes later.

It wasn't a league match, or even an official U.S. Open Cup match, but the Red Bulls will gladly
take their 2-1 U.S. Open Cup Play-in victory over San Jose. Especially after Sunday's
heart-breaking loss to D.C. United.
Head coach Juan Carlos Osorio rested several starters on Wednesday night, allowing his bench
players to make their cases for more playing time.
