OVERVIEW:

The Bulls are reeling, but maybe, the small possibility of a Dema return can infuse some life into this bunch. Meanwhile, The scum come to town riding relatively high as far as their most recent streak of winning ways goes, but reality has also smacked DC in the face in the form of injuries. Its going to be a showdown of WHOEVER IS LESS HOBBLED, WINS.

It has been a rough stretch for the Red Bulls. The past few games have seen some difficult second halves, and the second half came early last night.
Angel didn't get to tie the MLS goal streak record, although he made nice work of an early Crew corner, with a deflected header over the RB net. Mendes also had a key stop against Herron. Speaking of Herron, I'm afraid to think of what the final score would have looked like if he started yesterday.

Momma said there'd be games like this.

Last night was a good reminder as to why the Dynamo are the current league champions. I'd say one of the more entertaining face-offs was Ching vs. the Red Bulls goal post.

You usually don't realize it, but these are the times that deepen your ties to a team.

So, we wake up this morning, grab our cups of coffee, stumble to the bathrooms to relieve ourselves of the gallons of beer and tubs of chicken wings we devoured while watching Becks, Cuat, and our beloved RED BULLS ROLL - and to our delight, this is what we see -

RBNY - FIRST PLACE - AT THE HALF!

That sad face? Yes, its the injured Jeff Parke. Out of action. *Thanks - Ives Galarcep*

Amongst the barrage of rumors about the alleged unhappiness of our DP du jour, JP Angel goes off and shows everyone what he is capable of, in an inspired, one goal, balls out performance.

I guess all he needed was a little service after all. . .

Ok, I was quick to jump the gun, and like my night in A.C., I have had no luck at this prediction stuff.

First off, Conway is in nets.

Secondly, Dema MAY come on as a half time sub . . . .

Thanks to our boy Ives of course for those tidbits of fun

This is Fred, the face of DC's frustrations, fits, and scumbagetry, showing us what he does when that Brazilian blood starts to boil and the Jogo Bonito goes out the window. Nice Cleats up red card *!$*!^*$&!$&*!!!!!!!!!

That was the icing on the cake for this Argie.

We WON! And we wiped off the scum from the table and reminded them - we are not done yet!

Ive posted the last few days, breathing some life back into what had unfortunately become a somewhat dead link to the rest of theoffside, and some may be wondering - who is this guy?

Im not one for SUPER long and tedious intro's, so here goes. . . .
