Joe Cannon or Steve Perry?
By Melissa | May 6th, 2008Reader Jen clued me into the shocking physical similarities between Quakes goalkeeper Joe Cannon and former Journey frontman Steve Perry. In fact, she sent me the two photos below to demonstrate: And it doesn't stop with ...
Vote Kamara's goal Goal of the Week!
By Melissa | April 21st, 2008So far he only has 7% of the votes and stupid Landycakes is winning. WRONG. Head on over to the official Quakes site to vote and vote often. In the meantime, please enjoy the highlights from Saturday's game. Not featured in the highlights ...
Learn to speak hip
By Melissa | April 7th, 2008Everybody around here is waiting impatiently for the deets on Saturday's tailgates (myself included). On the news front, Embele Awipi has an interview with Kei Kamara. Also, Joe Cannon was on last night's Sports Sunday but the site doesn't seem to ...
Lucas checks in from Portland
By Melissa | March 31st, 2008So first we had the LOLcats, about a week ago I posted a LOLrabbit (and just wait til I bust out with the LOLsloth), and now I give you a LOLfault. Yup, today I found a geology blog thats filled with photos of California's major fault lines meaning ...
Bureaucratic nightmare
By Melissa | March 21st, 2008Many years ago, I told my co-workers I was only going to work in a paperless office. From that moment on, I would keep zero paper copies of everything but anything I needed I would only make available electronically. And every year, right before tax tim
News News News
By Melissa | February 29th, 2008Federico Arias didn't work out and is no longer training with the Quakes. Doyle is looking for “the right forward if we need one at all” which means folks like Smarte are still in the running (yay). Doyle on the DP slot: "We're looking to find o
Save the HULK
By Melissa | February 22nd, 2008The latest Joe Cannon blog is up on the official Quakes site. He doesn't really spend a lot of time commenting on last week's games against Houston. Instead it's full speed ahead with pre-season (although he does give a little shout out to Saturday's Pu
Who doesn't have a crush on Joe Cannon?
By Melissa | February 15th, 2008I urge you to immediately stop whatever you are doing and check out Cannon's latest blog on the official Quakes website. Its HIGH-larious. Gone is the sad sentimentalism of his first entry. Instead, our Joe is thoughtful yet excited and even a tad sill
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
Joe Cannon blogs. Its very sweet and no, thats not the alcohol talking.
By Melissa | February 7th, 2008Ok, before I get into it, I have to report tickets to the Kezar game are on sale now. Here's the link. Warning though, there's a $6 service charge if you buy online and unless you pay extra for quick delivery, you'll be waiting with the rest of us chump
Galaxy Fans, Remember the Alamo
By Laurie | February 4th, 2008Joe Cannon? Traded. Lance Friesz? Waived. Steve Cronin? Traveling back from USMNT camp. Matt Allen? Gone to Norway. So who does that leave as the Galaxy's only goalkeeper? How about Supplemental Draft pick Charles Alamo? According
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
Rumors, Rumors: What Did Cannon Say About Beckham?
By Laurie | January 18th, 2008This comes from the website MLS Rumors. It is as reliable as the name suggests. But remember here that I've read the same thing on Big Soccer. Which is...y'know...equally reliable. This rumor comes to us via anonymous email from some claiming to
Pre-draft musings
By Melissa | January 17th, 2008Firstoff, did anyone get a chance to go check out the vagina couch for sale on craigslist yesterday? The original cl post was removed, but thank goodness the Best Week Ever blog picked up on it (and included pictures!). As for the Quakes, there have b
What's Simple About a "Simple Hernia Operation"?
By Laurie | January 12th, 2008Okay, gents. Perhaps one of you can give me the definition of "simple" hernia operation, which is the surgery recently undergone by Troy Roberts and former Galaxy guy Joe Cannon. Or not. Maybe we just don't want to go there? Perhaps I'm overreact
It really happened
By Melissa | January 10th, 2008Joe Cannon is a Quake again. I'm late for work. Have a GREAT day y'all. (Now, what does this mean for Burpo?)
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
Petition to bring Joe Cannon back to San Jose
By Melissa | January 7th, 2008Personally, I'm a bit torn. I seriously doubt Preston Burpo would've wound up in San Jose if there was even a remote possibility Joe Cannon could return in '08. Well, who am I to know the inner workings of MLS trade deals? But TheCannon™ certainly ha
HOLY CRAP! Cannon to DCU??-Updated-TWICE
By jon | December 11th, 2007Goff is saying the deal could be done, or just in talks. I don't really have anything to say at this point. Cannon is an amazing keeper, and I've seen him stand on his head in numerous games. Perkins is pretty steady, if not prone to an occasional ment
Expansion Draft Thoughts: Which Goalkeeper(s) and Defenders to Protect
By Laurie | November 15th, 2007More on the Expansion Draft. Here are my thoughts on which of our defensive-minded guys to protect from the clutches of the dastardly Frank Yallop and his San Jose Earthquakes. First, here are the options. I'm going by position listed on the roster,
Galaxy Beats 9-Man KC, 1-0
By Laurie | September 28th, 2007Something seems to have happened while I was out of the country. The Galaxy have apparently become a team. And this is true even when they're playing rather uninspired soccer, as was the case last night. Their play, at least in the past couple of games
RSL 2-2 Galaxy
By Laurie | September 20th, 2007Confession here: I literally slept through the first half. I laid my jet-lagged head down for "just one minute" and then at 7:00 had to force my eyes open and my legs back over the side of the bed to go watch the game. So I have no idea what happened f
RSL-Galaxy Preview: Battle for the Cellar, Chapter 3
By Laurie | September 19th, 2007Writing pregame reports is getting depressing. It's gotten to the point that I'd rather gaze at photos of Barry Manilow and think, "Botox? Facelift? Both?" But I, like you, shall soldier on. (Right? You are soldiering on with me, correct?) We are
Wrapping My Brain Around RBNY - Galaxy
By Laurie | August 19th, 2007I'm having a very hard time wrapping my brain around this game last night. And I wasn't even playing Jeff's Beckham drinking game. (Although if I'm being honest I will have to admit that this was probably due more to lack of alcoholic beverages in the h
Pravda Tells Us About Beckham and the Blue Jays
By Laurie | August 7th, 2007Show of hands, kids! Who remembers the Cold War? And who remembers Pravda, the official Cold War-era mouthpiece of The Evil Soviet Empire? Oh, I do! I do! Yes, I am that old. (I even own a CCCP jacket that once belonged to one of the athletes at
Toronto-Galaxy -- Second Thoughts
By Laurie | August 6th, 2007The most important thing I learned on Sunday night: The Canadian channel does a much more watchable broadcast than ESPN. Aside from an obvious and expected pro-Toronto bias, and one of the sportscasters continually calling Quavas Kirk "Quirk" (a moniker
Galaxy and the Gold Cup: Donovan, Harmse and Jazic
By Laurie | May 25th, 2007If you look only at the US team, the Galaxy got off easy for the Gold Cup as far as players lost. Well, if you consider losing Landon Donovan getting off easy. Joe Cannon lost out to those European guys, Tim Howard and Kasey Keller. Oh, and to Chiv
Revs 3 - 2 Galaxy (Well, That Kind of Sucked)
By Laurie | May 13th, 2007This might be easier to take if the team had played consistently bad soccer over the ninety minutes. They didn't. They merely played consistently bad soccer for several short periods. Long enough for three goals to be scored. Is Taylor Twellman be
Some More Thoughts On That Galaxy Win
By Laurie | April 30th, 2007Just a few random thoughts that have popped into my brain since Saturday night. -- Does anybody else have a little mini panic attack whenever they do that third substition? Especially this one. I mean, in comes Quavas Kirk, sub #3 when the score was
Here's My Brain After the 2nd Galaxy-FCD Viewing
By Laurie | April 16th, 2007Yes, I did actually watch the game again. And yes, it did take me three days, because as I've said, I have NO attention span. (Sitting in front of the TV for 90 minutes for a live game is a stretch.) But here are my post-post-game thoughts. -- Did i
