2009 MLS Playoffs - Dynamo v. Sounders - October 29, 2009

A few of us are headed to Seattle on Thursday 29th to support the team against the Sounders. Flights out of Houston are expensive, but if you are willing to drive to Austin or San Antonio the round trip is 1/3 of the Houston rt. Southwest is currently $355.40 rt from Austin.

Come see Craig finish what he started

Nigel,
You were renting a car to get to Long Beach/Carson, correct? Do you know what route you were planning on taking? I was trying to get dropped off in Westwood about a mile from 405. Didn't know if this would possibly be on your route.

Thanks for helping us move towards the stadium & letting people know Gene Locke will get it done, just like he did for Toyota Center, Minute Maid Park & Reliant Stadium. GO ORANGE!

Hey Nigel, just wanted to drop by and say thanks for posting on the mayoral candidate chat. I missed the first two and will try to be available for the third. You articulated everything beyond great and am disappointed that you didn't get a response about the bias in the one survey. Thanks again.

great picture! that moment was awesome. you did a good job with the photoshop effect, don't take my job though! :]

Nigel good to hear. That is a great lens. At the evening matches shoot it wide open. That will give you nice shallow DoF and faster shutter speeds. Also get as close as you can to the action.

Nigel I'm using a Nikkor 300 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8. Your 70-300 at 4.5-5.6 is a little slow and I think you would see an improvement with the Canon 70-200.

Canon make some good gear so I would stick with them.

Let me preface this by saying I don't think the Dynamo are done yet. They can still possibly squeak in like NY did several years ago and Real Salt Lake last year. (I think that's right). I'm exited about that underdog role. I just don't get why Odu…

We do have a 1st round pick (for the first time in awhile) and I hope we utilize it more than we have in years past. I have to believe that we'll be reshaping a roster this offseason dramatically and it seems quite clear that the Dynamo are done fo…

We would have won if Dom put Carraccio in.

Oduro to Dynamo for 2 draft picks (2010 & 2011). Serioux to Dynamo for a third round 2011 MLS SuperDraft pick. Houston should do some late trades to get some 2011 SuperDraft picks.

I think it was very evident by the starting lineup this past Sunday that Dom and the guys have thrown in the towel. I can't remember if we actually have draft picks this year or if we traded them away. If we do have them, its time to finally get mul…
