A Series of Questions…Answers, Please
I am, officially, going nucking futs in the other space, finally coming good on a concept I’ve wanted to try for a while. Don’t count on it sticking around, though…I have a lousy record with such things.
What am I doing? Posing a series of questions that came to me as I watched DC United fail to solve the ever-shifting riddle that was the Crew’s defense. Rather than excerpt these, I’ll just post a title(-esque thingy; I’ll just say what it is I’m asking on the other side of the link….briefly) and let those so inclined click through.
- Was trading Alejandro Moreno the worst decision in the Houston Dynamo’s generally happy existence (e.g. not a lot of competition, there).
- Do DPs make us all look like rubes and yokels when they bust?
- Think ESPN’s broadcasts of MLS suck? Too bad. It’s not going to change anytime soon.
All righty, then. I hope to get some answers or replies to those…but I’ll take insults…I guess. But I am a wilting flower…

For what it’s worth, I like it better when your blog was here rather than over at BS… hope it works out over there for you all though.
Ditto. Hopefully it’ll feel more comfortable for all concerned soon.
Jeff,
I know it has been fashionable for Crew fans to talk about how the Moreno deal was no good for Dynamo, but that is waaay off. We got Joseph Ngwenya in the deal, who went on to tie for the team lead in goals AND score the equalizing goal in MLS Cup. Moreno, on the other hand, has, um, uh, hmmm, had a few nice goals in April. All hands together please for Senor Abril!!
Now, don’t get me wrong, Moreno is a talented player who is playing well, at least right now, and seems to be a real stand up guy. There is also not a single Dynamo fan who didn’t love the guy, though his long disappearances stretched our patience. However, it is inaccurate in the extreme to say it was a bad deal for Dynamo. It was instead one of the greatest of all trades, one that actually helps out both teams.
“There is also not a single Dynamo fan who didn’t love the guy, though his long disappearances stretched our patience.”
Hmm…with that in mind, I wonder what you guys are thinking about Brian Ching these days ;-).
