Week 4: vs the CD Gunners

Well, the Boys in Red are 0-3 to start the season and that's never good. Still, with a full 19 games to go, no one is out yet. With every team in MLS playing this weekend this ought to be a fun one. Carlos Rivas is out with a slight injury and Luis Silva and Drew Moor are looking more and more ready for game time.

Sasha Kljestan

Week 3 Lineup vs. Union SC

I intended to post this lineup much earlier but pushed it back when the Dallas/Philly game was. I hope the commish finds that acceptable.

Playing without Rimando this week will likely be no fun. Let's see if we can manage 3 points for the first time this season. History vs the Union says yes.

Starters
Quincy Amerikwa
Giles Barnes - C

Carlos Rivas

Week 2: Linup vs OCZ

Week one was rough. Most teams got off to a slow-ish start and, while Nick Rimando put the Boys in Red on his back it wasn't enough to top the highest scoring team in week one. Below you'll find the Week Two lineup. With NYRB and DC not playing and Drew Moor still rehabbing (he'll be worth it!), the group gets kinda tight.

First Kick 2015

It's the first week of the MLS season and that means the First Kick for the BSL too. Rose City will start the new season in the Match of the Week against a stacked Spartans team as they slug it out against the 2014 BSL Cup Champions. Is there enough firepower on the roster? Will the team finally figure out how to start quickly?

All of this is, of course, predicted on the increasingly large assumption that a Player Strike doesn't kill the MLS season.
