MY THOUGHTS
Thursday night in Salt Lake:
The Houston yo-yo season continues. One game they are great, and the next lousy. Then great. Then lousy. After stomping the crap out of Chivas last Saturday, they got mugged by Salt Lake last night. What is going on?
-Here is exactly how the season has gone so far: Tie-Win-Loss-Win-Loss-Win-Loss-Win-Loss.
-So that means they WILL win the next game, which is Sat May 22 at home against DC United.
Alvaro Saborio was a beast last night. And his first goal was gorgeous!

You are kidding with the "Why stop at 20", comment right? I fear the league is already spreading itself out too thin as it is. KC, Dallas and San Jose are averaging under 10k/game this season and Colorado and New England aren't too much above that 10k mark. More teams are not needed. Better teams are.
I'm no MLS hater either. Fire season ticket holder and loyal Section 8 nutcase here.
