The Sounders are in town playing the San Jose Earthquakes. Game starts at 7:30 pm; broadcast is on King 5. Seattle hasn't won a match since April 25, though that match was against the San Jose Earthquakes. In a first for The Stranger, I will be blogging from the stadium, along with the real sports writers. If you care about the Sounders, you will probably be there in person and not at home reading about it on your computer, and if you aren't at the game you'll probably be out enjoying the fantastic weather, but if you've been injured in some horrible accident and you're bedridden and your TV is stuck on King 5 and you want to follow along, I'll be here. Put your thoughts in comments and I'll embed the good comments in the post as we go.
Here's the Sounders-produced preview of tonight's game:
(That wall at the top of this post is across the street from The Stranger's offices—covered in Sounders posters. Sounders must have a marketing street-team. The posters keep getting covered up/fucked with by other posters and crap, and then the marketing street-team puts up new posters, and then they get covered up/fucked with again. Since the faces keep getting covered over, I've come to think of this wall as an art piece about how Sounders players keep getting suspended/ejected from games. Jaqua, Keller, and Montero—three of the five names you can see, and three of the team's stars—have gotten red cards this season, along with two other teammates.)
