As the 2006 MLS season approaches, the reality that the Earthquakes are gone is becoming real. I decided 1/2 heartedly to become a fan of Houston 1836 (lame name) because I love the players .. and love the sport. (The team didn't give up on SJ, the MO FO Owners did)
I took a look at the site, www.houston1836.com, and was a little crushed that the guys seem to be at home in their new digs.. There were already pictures, with captions that read.."Houston 1836'er goalie Pat Onstadt signs autographs..." or " 1836er forward Alejandro Moreno scores a goal.." I was a little tore up! As I wiped a tear from my eye, a new email came into my box.. (freaky coincidence) The email was an update from SSV. SSV stands for Soccer Silicon Valley... they are the fan based group that is working to get a new MLS team for San Jose.. As I read the email, I was delighted to find out that San Jose has a new MINOR league team.. The San Jose Frogs!! (who knew) They apparently play at PAL stadium.. which is my old stomping ground.. !! (heavy sigh) .. The Megster has some fabulous memories in that place.. (SHE SHOOTS, SHE SCORES!)
So, dear reader, one door might close..but another frog has come 'a' hopping into view.. Ribbit.. Ribbit.
