Tweet Even our female readers should be familiar with the idea that straight guys will do anything for a hot girl. How many times have we seen in tv or movies the nerd who tutors or just does the homework for the hot girl at school? Elmer Fudd was fixated on getting him a “scwewy [...]

So We Repeat, Now What? Where Do We Go From Here?

Jan 23, 2013 1 Comment

Tweet Since this is my first blog with The Section 108, I figured I’d hammer home the only important thing that has been talked about since the MLS Cup: Where does LA go from here? Honestly, that is a very broad question that has many answers. All of the chatter in the offseason has been [...]

The Grand Unified Theory of US Soccer

Jan 18, 2013 No Comments

Tweet MLS is the most important thing to have happened to US soccer in… well… ever. Sepp Blatter can blather all he wants about his disappointment in the league, but he clearly fails to understand the immense impact it is having. We are a country of 350 million people. We produce some of the greatest [...]

We are the Champions… Again

Tweet Ancient Romans had a tradition of celebrating triumphs after great victories. These were relatively rare occasions, where the successful general was paraded through the streets of the city along with his armies, the spoils of war, and his prisoners. Great parties followed. I suppose if we were holding a modern day triumph, it should [...]

Know when to fold em

Oct 24, 2012 No Comments

Tweet In my last post here three months ago I was lamenting our team’s lackluster performance and advocating the sale of our best player as the remedy. I took some heat for that suggestion. With his move up to striker, Donovan did his best to prove me an idiot. And I have to admit, both [...]

The Solution

Tweet With a couple of solid wins under our belt, I was prepared to eat my words and admit that I whipped out the button far too soon. But having attended the Philly game on the 4th of July, I just don’t feel confident that our team is really back. There are signs of life. [...]

Irrational Exuberance

Tweet I know, I know. We won a game. Saunders posted our first shutout of the season. It’s great. But it was Portland. And at home. We are not quite the worst team in the division, because right now Portland and Dallas are. Don’t get me wrong. We needed a win. I’m thrilled we won. [...]

Tweet   Yep, now it’s time to panic. Mathematically we are not out of the playoffs. We’re still a long way from that. So I suppose theoretically the season could be saved. But let’s face facts. We lost to Seattle at home after being up 2. We’ve won 3 of our 16 season games, the [...]

Not in the “Stars.” Frustration by Numbers

May 13, 2012 1 Comment

Tweet If you are an LA Galaxy fan, I feel your pain right now. I feel the frustration. I feel the broken cell phones and the damaged flat screen TVs. I feel that dark cloud that has fallen on top of you. I imagine that your questions are much like mine: “How could a team with [...]

Don’t Panic

Tweet   “It’s little and broken. But still good. Yeah, still good.” — Stitch Yeah, we suck. We aren’t scoring. We aren’t winning. Definitely no tiger blood at the HDC right now. But it’s not yet time to panic. I just happened to run into Kyle Martino (@kylemartino) at the car wash last weekend. Great [...]
