How many times can you hear that before you start to believe otherwise? RSL begins a much needed home stand tomorrow night at Rio Tinto stadium, and it couldn't have come soon enough. I can understand the few reasons (get them out of the way so we're at home down the stretch, set the tone for road games early, etc) behind starting the season with a road swing, but as the results have not produced the points we'd hoped, did we do too much mental damage too early in the season? Many will argue (and have argued) that our play has warranted more points, and I would agree with that statement. I see the battle with Toronto as the key to getting us on track before frustration takes a semi-permanent seat in the locker room. If you saw the post game interview with Captain Kyle last week, a blind man could have seen the frustration in his body language, not to mention his inability to coherently answer the questions posed. After the stunning opener to the 2010 campaign, many of us were cautiously optimistic about the first few games of the season, but after 5 games and 4 points, we've crashed back down to terra firma. I guess this is where Jason Kries (...superstar) earns his salary, and wishes he paid more attention in Psych 101.
My take on probable line-up:
NIM_Homeboy
Beltran - Olave - Borchers - Wingert
Will - Javi (Andy) - Kyle - Gonzalez
Sabo - Findley
