Ratt, you've got mail. Or at least a pm

high temp today was 107 add humidity and it felt like 115 or more. NOT fun to be in the crowd and even less fun playing in that crap.

I'm sorry to hear about your guy, Matthew Delicate, getting the bloody eye in that header collision. I read that he needed 6 stitches.

You think you had problems Rat !

Poor old Pompey had thier Chicago - DC flight cancelled, so a 27 hr drive on a coach, their kit disappeared so it was DC's away kit for the game, and then we wonder why they did so bad.

All in all considering they were 4th or 5th choice at best for this game nobody back home thinks they should have bothered coming over anyway.

As for me, I could have stayed at home last night rather than end up in a lovely DC hospital...

07-24-2010 Kickers vs 'hounds

Photos aren't great (that's what we have Pattie for) but at least you can tell which team is which w/o having to guess

Deli's injury looked like an elbow to me, but I wasn't in the best position to judge.

My pics are up (thanks for the kind words, Fred, but don't sell yourself short!):

Just keeping it real. Overall I have been less than pleased with my photography this season (though this group was slightly better than the last game I shot). But I still enjoy taking photos and feel lucky that people seem to appreciate them

I read about it in your paper, but I would guess that it probably was an elbow, though unintentional. It happens when players go up for the ball on headers. I hate to see blood involved in a play, no batter who it is, though.

unintentional maybe.. but T-Mac has a history of thuggery in this match.. as does his cell mates err family
