Some News for Tue May 10, 2011

STARTERS

California Here We Come! They made it official today - MLS Cup 2011 will be held in Los Angeles. See you there!
-The date is Sunday November 20.

STORY OF THE DAY

Kristian Dyer at Metro New York gets Luke Rodgers to pour more gasoline on his feud with Landon Donovan.

This is more press than Rodgers has had in his whole career.
-The only other times people have paid any attention to him is when he was getting arrested (3 times) for basically being a moron.

Now lets flip this coin over and tell LD to shut up and play. Him and all his teammates are biggest whiners in MLS. Beckman is the worst by the way. But LD is bad. Shut. Up.

Bruce, the Tijuana-Irapuato game is the Clausura championship 1st leg, not the promotion playoff

The promotion playoff (would be May 18 and 21) and will only happen if Irapuato wins the Clausura this week. And it would feature the same two teams because Tijuana won the Apertura. This could be a mini "quadriclasico"
