Colorado Game preview

My first week of practice since the beginning of the month is over and I'm... sore. But it's great to be back out there. It was celebrated (of course that deserves a celebration) by a late lunch with goalies Nick Noble and Jon Busch. Unfortunately, I still had to pay. Well I guess that's not too bad. At least I'm getting paid. I mean how can you expect someone who hasn't gotten a paycheck all year from Major League Soccer to buy lunch? I think his per diem from our trip to Mexico ran out a few weeks ago.

Next up is our game against the Colorado Rapids tomorrow night at Toyota Park at 7:30. If you can't make it to the stadium, the game is also being televised nationally on HDNet. If the atmosphere created by our fans is anything like last Sunday, I'd urge you to get tickets to this game.

Colorado is currently in 2nd place in the Western Conference after playing five games and coming away with six points. We know a little about their team from pre-season when we played them in Mississippi a week before the season started.

This Sunday we have our annual "meet the team" gathering. It will be held at a Best Buy store. So if any of you want to come browse the dvd section with me or sit in the 'surround sound' room and watch a movie, this is your chance! I may just try to sell an HD tv or two and hope for commission on the sale to recoup some of the money that MLS is taking back from my paychecks.
