whypick1: Dec 18, 2009; Just another jackass on the Internet

Well folks, this is it. The last month of the season...for half of the league. In Chivas' case, this is most likely it for the next 2 years.

For the other half of the league, there's still another 1-5 weeks left after this month (why do we have a 2 week break before the semis again?). The Supporter's Shield race looks like it's down to Seattle and LA (who are the only teams that have clinched playoff spots), with DC hoping both teams somehow stumble so they can sneak into the top spot (they won't). Only Chivas and Montreal are officially out of the playoffs, but let's face it, you can look at the tables and probably get 8 of the 10 teams without thinking too hard about it.

Oh, and Chicago can still beat the record for most ties in a season. Watch as they somehow tie it. This is what I think of that.

Agreed. I'll say it again, if two teams are tied on points, but one has more wins, that means they also have MORE LOSSES!

Is everyone excited to see two poo poo teams tonight?

I know I am. Tune in to see if the ref will gift Philly a point again, like he did last time.

Did the ref actually blow for halftime a few seconds before the 45 minutes was up? I'd of been okay with a few minutes before, just thought it was strange.

Highlight of the half was Healy asking Twellman if he remembered playing against some former player and Twellamn just answering "no".

Ah yes, let's repeatedly kick it over our own end line. That's a good strategy, Baky.

If it was only a few seconds, Penso probably blew the moment his watch started vibrating to tell him 45 minutes was up. Reckon he started it a couple of seconds early so that probably explains it.

If Penso was out for Chicago's blood he could have given the penalty there, so I think y'all might get out of here okay.

e: It would have been a bad call for sure, didn't mean it was a borderline thing. Just that he has had bad calls that have cost the Fire points recently.

I mean, with how remote our playoff chances are, "okay" equals "no one has a career-ending injury."

E: Earnshaw is actually making Chicago look mildly dangerous. That's why he should be starting.
