The indoor team follows up their season opening win with a late night special on Friday. The outdoor team plays the 7th place team in the Div. II table (guess who's in the number one spot?)

Additionally, in true Train Wreck fashion, a number of players are experiencing a few knocks along the track. So far, at the very least, we have a concussion, a bloody nose, a sprained (possibly fractured wrist), a bludgeoned thigh, as well as reoccuring foot and calf problems.

Late night finale

Last game of this season for the TrainWrecks...and we have a chance to go out with a nice 3-game win streak. We play another United team, this one hailing from Alameda. In our previous encounter, we beat this Manchester United emulating club, 5-3.

If a win-streak isn't enough motivation for you, then you can do it for my birthday.

Ahhhhh....much better

Now that we've cleaned the slate with a convincing win against the Bocas Locas, let's do it again against SF United (dark blue team, very heavy on the united nations of language speak).

The games are coming fast an hard, but after this one, we have a nice break until July 31.

I said....

let's try the right side of winning.

So last Tuesday didn't give us the needed reprieve from losing I was hoping for. We get to try again, though this time against a team that is below us in the table. A win here would help get the bad taste out of our collective mouths from the last game.

If things get a little chippy on the field, if the ref isn't calling things the way we like, let's just remind ourselves that we're playing recreational football. If we have fun, we all win regardless of the score.

Let's try the right side of winning (7/14)

Something just didn't seem right about last Friday's game. It's not often you score more goals than the other team, and still end up on the wrong side of winning. Well it's a chance for reprieve against the always tough yellow Beastie Crew.

An early start to the weekend (6/26)

Your weekend starts a bit earlier this Friday with a game against another United team. This one from Alameda. Last week's game was a bit of a struggle on the offensive side of the ball, which is why we'll be happy to see Brad back in the line-up. And if you saw the US men's soccer match against Spain, perhaps we can use a bit of their defensive inspiration to shut things down on the other end.

Ripening with time (6/12)

So last week, the indoor season opener didn't produce a very desirable outcome for the Train Wrecks. Perhaps it was the start time, a relatively early 7 pm. Well, this week provides for another opportunity at a much riper time of the evening.

Playoffs and other sundry activities (5/15-5/17)

Playoff time! OK, maybe it's just an extension of the regular season, but whatever. Our first game will be against the San P's at the turf fields (Gilman North) this Sunday at 5PM. Please either indicate participation via the poll or email Amy ASAP to let her know you're out (Andrew, Wendy and myself are out for sure). I believe we'll need a volunteer for the after-game beverages.

The indoor 'Wrecks have a game this Friday vs the Bocas at 9PM. Let Laura know if you're in or out.

Also, please indicate (via the comments section) if we should just scratch the practice vote for the time being. It's been a steady run of nothing for the past few months, so I'm figuring the Sat practice option is dead for a little bit. Good luck this Sunday!

Recap

Tough loss Friday night (or was that Saturday morning?), 11-5 against the Beastie Crew. The outdoor 'Wrecks won a hard-fought match against the Piranhas in the first real high temp game of the season. The details are somewhat foggy due to my brain cooking to about medium well, but I believe the final score was 7-4 for the W. Feel free to send corrections if I got the score wrong.

Thursday, April 16, 2009

Action this weekend (4/17-4/19)

The indoor team has a "I'm usually three beers in by this time" start this Friday (aka 11 P.M.). Check out the poll and vote on your attendance, particularly for practice (although I'll go ahead and guess that the indoor 'Wrecks will vote nay on practice in order to make up for the lack of quality drinking time).

The Easter Bunny is a lousy football player

Next Sunday is Easter Sunday, so there's some doubt if we can field a full team. Please contact Amy ASAP and let her know if you're in or out for Sunday. If you don't have Amy's contact info, please leave a note in the comments section.

Finding a bright spot

On the minus side, The 'Wrecks dropped a difficult match to the Unicorns, 5-2. A few well-timed runs proved to be the difference. On the plus side, there was some wonderful acting and a flourish of cards from an appreciative referee. New poll on the right.

Saturday, April 4, 2009

No practice today (4/4/09)

Practice is cancelled today. The poll indicated 2 yes responses and 2 snarky responses - great for witty repartee, but not enough for practice. See you at the game tomorrow.

Having children impacts your free time...who would've guessed?

As you may or may not have noticed, there's been a slight shortage of updates since our stopper/part-time goalie/webmaster ventured bravely into the world of parenting. Since this kid thing tends to tie up your life for ...oh, the next 18 years or so, I've (Alex) volunteered to help out with the website in the meantime.

I'll keep it basic for the next few posts while I blunder my way around Blogspot - if you've got any suggestions or directions for extra content, feel free to send it along. You can post suggestions in the comments or send them directly to my email.

So we've got action for Fri, Sat(hopefully) and Sunday this weekend. I'll work on rolling up the results from our previous matchups in another post.

Please indicate in the comments section if you're able to attend Saturday practice or not. I'll try to get a poll up to measure attendance in the near future.
