Come On, He's a Soccer Player, It's Not Like His Hands are Important
Revolution midfield enforcer Shalrie Joseph is out for the regular season after he injured his hand in a fracas at a local bar.Apparently, so the story goes, he was trying to break up a fight between Revolution players and some other drunks at the bar. He fell and cut his hand on some broken glass. Wait, Shalrie was trying to break up a fight? Man, that is not what we pay you for.
This sucks for a number of reasons. For one, this was shaping up to be the best season ever, then Daniel Hernandez and Marshall Leonard were injured for the season a few months back. That, plus the team missed Avery John and Clint Dempsey for some crucial weeks due to the world cup. Now Pat Noonan is injured too. The team had a string of draws that could have easilly been wins. I wonder if this is the last real shot at the championship for a while. They'll make the playoffs, but they look to lose enough players in the off season that I smell 1997 all over again.
Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.
