Brian Ching needs to be dropped. Conor Casey can play the big man holding role up top PLUS, Casey can use his feet!!!
I thought Parkhurst was trying to win a job...oh, but Scandinavia is snowed in right now. Hm, interesting non-call. (By the way, MLS should switch to a winter season, snarf snarf snarf)
