Winding Up, Winding Down

You'd think, based upon how quiet I have been (excepting all the bitching of course), that I had no sports to follow of late.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Take tonight for instance. I've got three games going: the Blues are on the road against the Flyers; DC United is home for their season finale against KC; oh, and the Cards are playing game three of the World Series. Ho hum.

I feel really weird. In a lot of ways I'm more annoyed at United missing the playoffs yet again then I am happy about the success of the Cardinals. Maybe that is because the Cards making the Series was less unexpected to me than DC sucking so bad. Then again maybe I'm just happier with something to bitch about. (I'd hate for that to be true... it would seem too Cub-like for comfort.)

However, I *AM* pleased with the play of the Cards. The late season push was thrilling, and the playoff baseball they have been putting on the field has been of a very high caliber. It's been fun.

I just wish I was more excited. Hmmm... I'd hate to think I was maturing or anything.

If This Is The Best MLS Has To Offer...

...Then I may have to re-evaluate if I want to be wasting my time and money on this product.

It cannot be worth my time to watch this crap when it doesn't matter HOW WELL the players play the game on the field because the refs will simply undo everything to suit their personal whims.

I really should demand a refund for the Direct Kick package. I was promised real soccer action, what I got was a seasons worth of referees jerking off in public.

The hell with it.
