Catch-Up

OK, so the wife's been sick, but I'm gonna try and pick this back up...

Debi's been sick for a few weeks now, and taken a leave of absence from work. Hopefully we'll know something soon...

DC United continue to exert their dominance over the rest of MLS. They will be the team to beat come playoff time. Fred has picked up his play increasingly over the last month, and he's beginning to silence my initial criticism of his play near the beginning of the year. DC downed Dallas in overwhelming fashion on Saturday night. With a game in hand, they are tied with New England atop the Eastern Conference, with an impressive +17 goal differential. Its good to see the defense shut these teams down. Troy Perkins has really upped his play recently and is once again looking like the premier keeper in the league, as he was last year...

Six days and counting... the Skins wrapped up pre-season play the other night with a 2-2 record. Its a quiet 2-2 though, as Jason Campbell has played progressively well, and the defense looks eager to be a top ten unit once again. The icing on the cake for me is that the game against Miami will be on the local CBS station, so I'll be able to watch in the comforts of home. Can't wait!

More coming tomorrow... until then: Live simple!
