    When: Today, 7 PM
    Where: CommunityAmerica Ballpark, Kansas City, KS
    Media: HDNet, 790 AM (English), 850 AM (Español)

    We need this one. We've got Ricardo Clark coming back from his suspension, but we're still missing Eddie Robinson, Stuart Holden, and Pat Onstad, which means that.. gulp, Tony Caig will once again be in goal. The Wizards have been on a roll recently, so we need to stop them like we have in all of our previous meetings. I'm worried that we're going to look fatigued as this is our third game in the week, especially having just returned from that horrible defeat in Costa Rica. However, I will be watching and will cheer on the Orange as always.

    What are your thoughts?

    Sorry for the double post, but I forgot to mention that Craig Waibel will also be out for this one. And our back line gets thinner and thinner and thinner...

    Thanks for the post. Great sports night at RM95's abode. HD Dynamo, HD NHL Playoffs and HD Astros. I should get my portable cooler and set it next to my chair, that way I'll only have to get up to pee!

    It's actually pretty funny looking. If you saw the Chicago - San Jose game today at McAfee Coliseum, you probably noticed how the field was bordered by an outfield wall. It looks that way in Kansas City, but on a smaller scale. I hope their stadium gets built soon because where they play now won't work long-term.

    In regards to the game, Dom needs to do something to get this team motivated, especially our strikers. I like what I see from Caraccio at times, but he needs to control the ball a little more and stop playing so much one-touch ball. Brian Ching has not looked the same since he was injured in last year's Western Conference Final. He seems more timid and also appears to have lost a step. I have faith that the Dynamo will get it together, as they seem to start slow early each season. Also, four games in less than two weeks can't help for fatigue.

    We didn't give up 3 goals like in the past 3 games, so that's progress. Mullan and Davis getting big minutes (and Stuie making an appearance) was good to see.

    Ching has always seemed to be a very steaky scorer, he does a lot outside of scoring so he can still contribute but he really needs good service to get goals. He can't really create on his own.

    Carracio really needs to start dribbling at defenses, that was something that Ngwenya got really good at last season.
