Some of you might be curious on who is on the Patriots this season, so here is an unofficial list of who is on the team. Roster was made up by looking at the lineup from the Pat's 2-0 loss to the L.A. Galaxy. Also, other players that I know are with the team, but didn't play un the exhibition are included. (C.D. Zacatepec loanees, Injured) Obviously I am missing quite a number of players. Hopefully an official roster will be released soon.

Before I forget, I have to say that I will no longer refer to the El Pasoans on the team as Hometown Heroes. After everything that's happened, I have a new definition for heroes. Professional athletes are not heroes, IMO.

Holy crap! If I were to play with the Pat's I would probably be the biggest guy on there. I am 6'1, 235. Our tallest player is 6'1. He is also the heaviest, 199. I hope that our lack of size translates into us having great speed.
