Shitposting in Seattle

I think it should be in this thread, last year paying attention went into the toilet because going to armchair quarterback is too much effort.

Plus the person who called the mods down doesn't really post in this thread anyway and just did it out of spite.

Good morning!
After fan pushback the Sounders team store will now affix championship stars to any '16/'17 kit, not just the authentic line. They look snazzy, I'll have to take my new green replica kit by and get the upgrade.

Don't worry, I'll be here to poo poo up the regular season thread with not-fantasy stuff.

So can you only get it on after the fact? I can't justify spending the extra for the authentic, but I'm never in Seattle, so...

I also thought you were in DC.

All of the Honda manufacturing in the US is in Ohio, has been since the 1980s, and almost all of their US market cars are built in the States, so it makes sense. And they've been a longtime sponsor of MLS so it's a good fit.

I should have mentioned, they are also retooling so all '16/'17 replica jerseys going forward will include the star. That should roll out over the next couple of weeks, they are still figuring out the logistics.

And that is correct, I am in the DC area, but I go home several times every year. Next trip is in July, and I'll be sure to take my kit.

Their new Acura plant (where is the NSX is built) is just northwest of Columbus. Civic final assembly is in Indiana, but I think you're otherwise right, all their other US plants are also in Ohio.

A lot of noise on Twitter that Seattle might get Keisuke Honda.

That seems like a decent get for an MLS team; I don't know what, if anything, he does at AC Milan these days though

Would be a slightly odd add given how similar his positioning is to Dempsey, but can't argue with the embarrassment of riches it would represent. He's apparently past his prime in Italy, hasn't done much this season but get pushed to the bench by Deulofeu, but still has tons of skill and would probably kick rear end in MLS.

It would certainly mean one of the deepest Seattle teams ever, that's a starting 11 with a bench with Shipp, Flaco Fernandez, Gustav Svensson, and Will Bruin.

Lots of variables here still. There's no agreement yet, would need contract details, and it's not clear if AC Milan would let him go before the end of their season in June. Just going to wait and see and try to contain my excitement.

LOOK WHAT I GOT TODAY





Season ticket holders got jackets this year. They're made of knit jersey like a thin sweatshirt minus the fleece inside. It is too warm to wear them today. In Boston. In February.

We also have our choice of Meet the Revs or a bus trip to a RBNY away game.

Total cost, including parking: about $600 per seat, and that's front row midfield. Now, of course, getting to and from the stadium is a fuckin' chore that eats a quarter tank of gas and most of a day even for my tiny squaremobile, but there you have it.

Ah yes that explains the large box at my front door this year rather than the usual small box. I could have used the jacket earlier this month but it's just too warm today. New England weather.

I'd rather just pay less for my tickets than get some poo poo I usually have no use for. Of the STH gifts that we've been given, only pint glasses from 2011 have been used repeatedly.

Other things given were:
- "Messenger bag" made out of the same material as reusable grocery bags
- Small capacity log shaped external battery
- Log shaped insulated lunch bag (I would have used this more but it fell apart within a month)
- For this year, a journal.

In the last few years, DC has sent a scarf, the aforementioned bag that sucks, and invites to tons of events that basically amount to "get drunk and meet players" during bankers' hours.

They're trying very hard to get me back, and I told them my price was MLS Live (they jacked it to $80, so that actually has legit value to me). They said they'd call me back. That was Tuesday.

The reaction here in Orlando has been "Don't care, got rid of Brek." He's on more money than Barnes, has been broken most of the last two seasons, and hasn't done much even when healthy. He's not quite good enough to be a left winger and not quite defensive enough to be a left back. He's a solution in search of a problem.

I was a huge Brek homer during the years he played (and I lived) in Dallas, but then he went to England and was crap and never recovered, and I eventually got tired of trying to defend him.

My understanding was that Brek was on 450k and Barnes was on 750k, but yeah I'm not expecting terribly much from Shea, I'm just pleasantly surprised that anyone wanted Barnes' contract besides Owen Coyle, who got fired before he could follow up on his bizarre man crush. Hopefully we can turn the extra cap room into a solid striker or CM.

For some reason I thought Barnes was on 350, but I checked last year's salaries and you're correct, so I retract that line. 750 makes it slightly less beneficial for Orlando, but perhaps not too badly; there has been talk that Larin might play better with a partner rather than as a lone striker, and I believe the team played a 4-3-1-2 in their final preseason game. If Barnes can be that second striker, if he can provide goals and assists and take some of the heat so it's harder to mark Larin completely out of a game, then it'll still end up being worth it.
