This whole working vacation thing is ruining my blogging grove. I mean c’mon my last entry was like two sentences. Anyway… I’ll get back to the good stuff in early August when I go back to Texas.

Mas, mas, mas, after the jump.

• This weekend I hear we’re playing the Colorado Rapids. Are they better than the Charleston Battery? I hope not.
• Victor Sikora has impressed Buzz. How do we sign him? Well, I wish it were simple, but its not. We would have release/trade an international player (Ricardinho to the unemployment office), OR trade for an international spot, OR Saragosa would have to hire the best Jewish lawyer in town and speed up the green card process. Not to mention Sikora has to accept a sub-par MLS-sized contract paid to him in sub-par American dollars. He would lose 1/2 of everything when he goes home!!! Doesn’t sound too promising. Damn the economy.
• Also, Jolly John Ellinger is going to Argentina for some good BBQ. All expenses covered by the FCD FO.
• In related news, Jolly John Ellinger calls off his latest attempt at the South Beach Diet.
• Toja could be going to Romania and we would be paid in Euros demonstrating why a weak dollar is good for exports. So the whole “Damn the economy” thing has been reduced to: “Blame Canada.”
• If he went I would not shed a tear. He’s lazy folks. Or something like that.
• The Atlanta Thrashers have agreed to terms with star goalie Kari Lehtonen.I don’t care what anyone says he will never be as good as Pasi Nurminen.
• Abdus Ibrahim done good. Yay for him! Too bad he didn’t have the maturity to stick it out. Kids these days. When I was a kid I walked three miles in the snow up a hill (both ways) just to get to school. Also, I had to fight off termites that were trying to eat my grandmother, but that might have been a dream or something I saw in a movie. Regardless, the details are hazy.
• The backlash from the Showdown in Chinatown charity soccer game continues. First it was Reyna pissing off the Red Bulls (he retired, BTW), then people were all like Leonardo Barbosa is mad stupid, and finally goodguy Steve Nash is made to look like that Hobo that steals from school children. You know the one, right?
