Galaxy’s Playoff Hopes Not Yet Dead, But They’re Not at All Well*

If we’d won last night, we could have done it on our own, without anybody else’s help. If we’d lost, the dream would be over. Instead, we’re in limbo, relying not just on ourselves but on help from FC Dallas and Real Salt Lake.

Of all the teams I would prefer not to have to rely on…

I was so looking forward to the game last night, but mother nature had other plans. A windstorm knocked out our power at 3:30 yesterday afternoon. So I ended up at a local sports pub, staring at freakin’ Cleveland and Boston, thinking, “How long can two innings possibly take?!?!?”

A long time. That’s how long. I hate baseball.

So I missed the first half entirely, which means I missed both goals. I did get to see the second half, which means I saw strong play on defense and in the midfield, an unfit Beckham who shouldn’t have been on the pitch, and an offense unable to break down the wall. Does that about sum it up? Anything more to add?

*Sigh*

Curse you, Galaxy and Red Bulls! Do you know how painful it’s going to be for me to root for effing Dallas?!?!?

*Yes, I DID see “Spamalot” last week when it was here on tour. How did you know? And now, for the rest of the day, I will be singing this song. And, if you’ve seen the play, so will you:

DAD:
I am not yet dead
I can dance and I can sing
I am not yet dead
I can do the highland fling
I am not yet dead
No need to go to bed
No need to call the doctor
‘Cos I’m not yet dead
