But I was pretty pissy about the whole thing by then, so my recollection may be unduly harsh.Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-71064169661360574192011-06-13T09:30:20.759-04:002011-06-13T09:30:20.759-04:00RE: Pontius

When Wolff slotted across the six and Brettschneider just missed sliding on to it, I had brief hopes of a trailing run, a la Dempsey v. Canada. <br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />Was Pontius even in the box at that point?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-22055116975954752072011-06-12T20:07:08.508-04:002011-06-12T20:07:08.508-04:00Heh.

It might've just been a brace that pissed me off, though. But, y'know, I'm just a spiteful little man.<br /><br />I think my angst over air balls to Najar is probably more over field-switching than goal runs. And if Pontius, who is, as you say, not a numpty with his head (at least structurally), ever runs fast enough or far enough to get to a post, you'll never hear from me again, because I'll drop dead from surprise.Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-30517664218755315202011-06-12T14:30:49.256-04:002011-06-12T14:30:49.256-04:00Don't ever remember a three goals and an assis...Don't ever remember a three goals and an assist night though, and can't imagine a better night for him (he says, hoping he isn't tempting mop-headed fate).<br /><br />Najar did score a far-post header last year, didn't he? Back stick headed finishes from early crosses are usually more about timing than about hops. That said, I wouldn't mind Pontius (who is fairly capable with the noggin) getting up for a few.<br /><br />Maybe I should squat on the backtothemean.com domain (it's available!), and see if I can get the FO interested. You know, since wewintrophies.com went over so well...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-14442819342381415582011-06-12T14:05:36.056-04:002011-06-12T14:05:36.056-04:00Lenhart always has the best night of his career ag...Lenhart always has the best night of his career against DCU. Remember when he was Yellow?<br /><br />While Najar's runs are thrilling, if it's the short guy making the far post run, you'd best keep the ball down, hmm? Not nearly as big a problem last night as others, but a nontrivial factor in the lack of offensive momentum has been everyone's insistence that Andy Najar can jump.<br /><br />I think "Back to the Mean" is a freaking awesome slogan for this edition of our club. Well played.Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.com
