The Don has a new blog on MLSNet.
Right now it reads like decrees sent down engraved in stone from Mount Olympus, in the form of text cut-and-pasted from old speeches.
I like Don Garber. He has done a good job growing the league. And he believes in the Game.
But, why have a high-visibility blog if you are only going to post *if possible* once every two weeks? And why just give us warmed over stuff from Chamber of Commerce speeches?
For now, I'll keep an open mind and keep reading.
But my hope is the Don will talk *to* us, not talk *down to* us.

DCU - Columbus Aforethoughts
Hmmm. Gonzalo Martinez is out, depriving us of a lot of speed and skill on the backline. Stick Burch over there. He should do OK.
A lot of people on bigsoccer are really ragging on Emilio. I don't understand why. The guy scores in the second minute against Toronto, and a few minutes later launches a Preki-like Bomb from outside the box after a beautiful chop move. True, he clanged it off the crossbar but that seque3nce led directly to a rebound and goal. We were up 2-0 over Toronto before they even knew what hit them, all becuase of Emilio. Also true he could have had more goals, but that is how strikers are. I remember Romario didn't bury 100% of his chances, either. Give me a break. Emilio will be fine. The goals will come.
I also really like Gallardo. He reminds me of a combination of Marco Etcheverry and Christian Gomez. The guy can play. He is worth the DP money.
I am glad Kpene is gone. He just didn't have it. I just never saw what others saw in him.
Should be an interesting evening for one Mrs. Carroll. Two of her sons are with DC United, and one plays for Columbus.

Welcome to Straight Red Hat Trick ...
... our new blog dedicated to all things soccer/futbol, from the fan's vantage point of the most successful, the most storied, the most trophy-laden soccer club in the history of the United States,
DC United.
We'll also comment on MLS, World Club, as well as National Team soccer. How's that for starters?
Well, this isn't really starters, since this blog is taking over where our old blog, Three FrontRunners left off. We want to morph to this blog because, well, I like the name better.
Hopefully we can figure out how to migrate our posts.
