Houston Is Not Helping

June 28th, 2009 . 9:32 pm . By: Buzz Carrick

With the slim FCD has at making the 40 point mark, they need all the help they can get.  Houston didn’t do FCD any favors by folding like a pup tent to the only-two-previous-win-LA Galaxy tonight.

FCD needs Houston and Chivas to keep beating the other bad teams in the West.

PS The HDC field is in horrible shape.

    That’s what I was thinking as I was watching the game, although it hurt me to cheer for a team that I hate oh so much :twisted:

    Playoffs? Playoffs!?!?

    Why are we still even teasing ourselves?

    The fact that we’re only halfway through the season and we’re already depending on other teams’ results says a lot about our chances of making the playoffs. Give it up now, folks – we’re not making it.

    No playoffs for Dallas again this season so let’s not be mad a Houston.

    I still don’t think playoffs are out of the question… though I do consider myself an extreme optimist

    Mark Dodd is not walking through that door, fans. Leonel Alvarez is not walking through that door, and Zarco Rodriguez is not walking through that door. And if you expect them to walk through that door, they’re going to be gray and old.

    What we are is young, exciting, hard-working, and we’re going to improve. People don’t realize that, and as soon as they realize those three guys are not coming through that door, the better this town will be for all of us because there are young guys in that locker room playing their asses off.

    I wish we had $90 million under the salary cap. I wish we could buy the world. We can’t; the only thing we can do is work hard, and all the negativity that’s in this town sucks.

    Edy – “No playoffs for Dallas again this season so let’s not be mad a Houston.”

    hahaha LOL. I think it’s too late to suggest FCD fans NOT be mad at Houston – there is a pretty long list of reasons why they are mad at Houston. One more thing won’t make a difference.

    Schellas, Are you thinking using a DP spot on Larry Bird?

    The Galaxy need a facelift in the central midfield. They will not make the playoffs.

    Over the last 5 games, FCD has been averaging 1.6 points per game (2W 2T 1L). If you extrapolate that over the next 15 games, that is 24 points. Just a couple points shy of the magic number needed to make the playoffs.
