US Squeaks Out of The Zone with a Point
They... can't... finish.
The US Men's National Team's inability to finish scoring chances nearly cost them this past Wednesday night at the Estadio Rommel Fernandez in Panama City, Panama. Playing before a small but vocal Panamanian crowd, the US squandered chance after chance in the game's first 30 minutes, until the Canaleros switched from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 formation. The extra attacker brought life to the home side, which dominated the World Cup Qualifier throughout the remainder of the match. After a 70th minute Panamanian goal, the US sulked and skittered their way toward their first loss in 26 matches against CONCACAF opponents.
However, Coach Bruce Arena's subbing intuition paid off again as late sub Cobi Jones, in his 163rd appearance with the National team, knocked home a loose ball in the second minute of injury time, to give the US a valuable draw and road point in the qualifying semis. If the US wants to reach Germany 2006, they must find a way to score early in matches, and often. They need to finish their opportunities. It'll only get harder from here.

Come Back Again..
...some other day! Apparently the NYC area survived the RNC convention without a scratch, but the remains of hurricane Frances put a major crimp in the morning's commute. NJ Transit suffered a disabled train between Secaucus & NYC, adding 45 minutes on to a 30-minute morning train ride. The rain also cut off subway service above 42nd Street, and as of 1pm, service was still out or delayed on the A, B, C, D, F, M, N, Q, V, 1/9, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 trains. Boy, if something really bad happens the city, look out.

Well, THAT Happened.
Well, the elephants came and went, messing up a perfectly easy commute for a week. Taking the ferry between Hoboken & W. 38th St. was a nice change of pace, though. What a bizzare time that we live in.
Our Fearless Leader, who skipped out on his service in the Air National Guard, actually has a two-tour war veteran on the ropes for his service record. The NYPD's suspended Habeus Corpus for the week. The Governator had the most memorable line of the week, "girlie men," that Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon used to ridicule him.
Makes you wonder if we'd better off splitting into two nations: Red America, where it's a bright, uneducated, Jeebus-loving, W-monarchy, sunshiney day every single day, and Blue America: where people actually pay attention to what's going on. Oh well, time for fun down the shore...
