Still no mojo
By Melissa | May 4th, 2008So we walked away without a goal but so did Dallas. I think out of all the match reports I've read, Embele Awipi put it best: Quakes keep shooting blanks in tie with Dallas. We created lots and lots of chances throughout the game, but yet again, co ...
San Jose v Dallas preview
By Melissa | May 1st, 2008Finally, the Buck Shaw home game is here. Finally, there's a reason for me to go to San Jose that doesn't involve sitting in a data center for hours on end. Finally, the weather has cooled down enough for me to rock a neon blue wig at this thing. ...
What is up with Buck Shaw?
By Melissa | April 30th, 2008As I was leaving work yesterday (Chinatown SF), I passed by a giant building, under renovations, with a sign in the window “Fisher Industries.” Clearly, the son of The Gap has an assload of money and he is not afraid to toss it around. Case in ...
We has practice field
By Melissa | April 22nd, 2008It's true! Santa Clara University officially opened Stanton Field yesterday for the Quakes (and others) to practice on. Its a state of the art design with new drainage and a special new species of grass, created specifically with soccer in mind. ...
Caltrain sucks ass
By Melissa | April 14th, 2008I got this email in my Inbox on Saturday: Thank you for your request for post-game train accommodations after the San Jose Earthquakes' games in Santa Clara. Unfortunately Caltrain is not in a position to add service because of budget reasons, ...
I will prevail
By Melissa | April 9th, 2008Sometimes when I'm really f*cking bored and drunk (which is often), I go on Priceline and offer $1 for fancy ass hotels and sh*t. One day, a hotel is going to accept! -- Michael K at Dlisted After days of searching an ...
Another slow news day
By Melissa | March 11th, 2008I'm 99% positive my friend took this photo during Oakland's first Fridays pretentious self-congratulatory art walk sh*t-fest. Can you tell I am not a fan? There are so many terrible things I want to say about this picture right now (but not about my fri
What's next for the Scoobies
By Melissa | March 5th, 2008Ok, so the metaphor is back. I can't help but think of it every time I discuss our coaching staff... so it stays. I'm also a fan of associating our guys with this. My thinking here has everything to do with comparing San Jose to Los Angeles and nothing
Leetle things
By Melissa | March 4th, 2008All is seemingly quiet today. Kelly Gray got waived and I guess we didn't pick him up? I am of the opinion we don't need him but I'm still a bit sad we didn't just grab him anyways. I don't know if he'll wind up with another team or just focus on his o
Training Camp update
By Melissa | February 13th, 2008Yeah thats right. I finally get to post one of these because there's a for-realsies report from Tuesday's practice. I'm going to ignore the part where this report did not come from a local sports news – much less a regular news - source but rather a f

Camps start... next week?
By Melissa | January 22nd, 2008According to Ives, thats when our MLS teams start their training camps. The picture on the left shows the progress so far on our new practice field (you can see Buck Shaw stadium in the background and thanks to SSV for the pic). Not to worry though sin
Buck Shaw too ugly for national television, Joe Cannon debate continues
By Melissa | January 8th, 2008According to Steve Davis at ESPNsoccernet, among the many scheduling conflicts that make up our convoluted MLS season (those pesky international dates, non-MLS tournaments, and having to share the stadiums with other sports teams) is the new problem that
San Jose is way cool
By Melissa | December 31st, 2007Happy New Years Eve, y'all! 2008 is going to be a great year for soccer fans in the Yay for sure. And to gear up for it, the bigsoccer regulars are posting up a storm in the SanHo section. If you've got a few minutes to spare and you're thinking you'll
Boys reinstated, Shaw retrofits won't be ready, Scoobies set up their out of office replies
By Melissa | December 13th, 2007The controversy is (almost) over! A story over at Inside Bay Area reports that the High School students benched by the California Interscholastic Federation after attending the Quakes' tryout tour and supposedly putting their amateur status in danger, we
Tryout Tour wraps, no big party to celebrate?
By Melissa | December 8th, 2007So 33 potential players were picked from the Tour to participate in a Combine at The Shaw from December 20th through 22nd. Our Tour winners will be competing with folks invited from college teams and the USL. Yes, the details are all so vague because I
Dear Joe Vide
By Melissa | December 7th, 2007Accept my Facebook friend request! I know my silly attempt at internet friend collecting means very little, but its a fun diversion and you're the only future SanHo player I've found on Facebook so far. Speaking of Joey, he was interviewed by the Gameda
Cheers and Jeers
By Melissa | December 4th, 2007Cheers to the news that the very first reincarnated Earthquakes match is at home against New York on March 29th. And by at home, Ives' assumption here is The Shaw but I'm with the few internet pundits who think this game will wind up in Oakland. I belie
Can't wait to start talking about players
By Melissa | November 14th, 2007I don't really know the details but I guess it doesn't really matter because the Interliga matches previously scheduled to take place in the Bay Area are now moving to Houston and Los Angeles. The plan was to have these games at the Oakland Coliseum but
