360 minutes and 1 goal in MLS play last year. Defend him all you like but until he starts putting balls in the back of the net, I won't be a fan. I hope he can contribute to the team as well, just not nearly as optimistic at this point.... :-| Hone…

How do you get a picture of every goal? Do you have some kind of sense that tells you when the Dynamo are about to score??

Fatter than what? I'm always defending him.... but really, he looks much skinnier than he did last year, and at the beginning of this season too.

Luis played 92 minutes last night and looked really good, as he also did on Thursday night against Chicago. I feel confident that he will be a major contributor for our team this season. : )

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.

Looks like the League and Players Union have reached a 5-year deal. Great news for us fans. Just a reminder that prices go up on travel packages Monday night, so reserve your seat immediately so you don't miss out on the deal!
