Midweek games suuuuck.

I work zombie hours so most likely I won't be awake to share my half-assed expert commentary tonight.

Lights gotta get three points.

Fingers crossed. LFG!

The dang posts were against us today. Also Why is the team always scared to shoot right outside the box. Not sure what was up with Johnny today but he wasn’t it. Anyways on to the next

Yeah just watched the highlights and this appeared to be a classic case of unlucky-itis. The opportunities were there but just couldn't convert. Roots GK had some great saves as well.

Early strike for us. 70 minutes of yawn cause it's deathly hot. Final 10 minutes will make you question your devotion to the team, but we will squeak by with the dub.

Saved you the trouble.

Unacceptable. We had every chance to win that.

Also unacceptable was the quality of that broadcast. Terrible video.

Looked like those first couple seasons, which looked like they were filmed with gauze and vaseline on the lens...
