Because You Are All Dying for My Opinion
Yep, the league did not get their Beckham/Donovan v Blanco/McBride showdown that would have made for easy promotion. Instead they have the Scruffy Underdogs v Glamor Boys contest.
Yep, this means Alan Gordon is now a glamor boy.
The commentary from LA fans I have read say they are worried about these "Underdogs" of Real Salt Lake. I dunno. There have only been two "scrappy underdogs" that I can think of that made it this far: New York (who weren't so much scrappy as lucky) and Colorado. Both ended up losing in the end. My prediction for the final: 3 - 1 LA.
Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.

Just a Place Along the Way...
I decided to stop by Lucky Wishbone on my way home from work. It seems that every time I visit Lucky Wishbone, I see a someone who is unusually obese. This has to be just coincidence, right?
There is one major deficiency with the Lucky Wishbone on 22nd...they give you a printed receipt with a number. Everyone knows the proper way to get a number at Lucky Wishbone: a white poker chip with the number written in marker. Pre-printed ticket? An abomination.
I ordered a Jr. Steak Fingers and a Jr. Shrimp. They really oughta have a meal with both, but what do I know?
Anyway, while waiting, the PA system started playing Huey Lewis's "Power of Love." What was most disturbing was that I knew all the words.
It did get worse: the next song was "You're Beautiful." When I am done on this Earth and have to spend some time in Purgatory for the sinful life I have led, this song will be playing. When it came out, I thought we had reached the nadir of smarmy pop songs. We did, but things haven't gone up on a trajectory I'd like.
