With five games left in the season, the Quakes are in a 4 team battle for one of the remaining playoff spots. Luckily 3 of those games are at home, unfortunately, the first one in at DC United which may not go as planned for our beloved Los Terremotos.

This week, I do my best to avoid talking about the massacre in the Great White North that occurred last Saturday at BMO Field. To quote Dennis Green, "They were who we thought they were." On a more positive note, Salinas is one step closer to claiming its place among the best soccer cities in the country. On Tuesday the Monterey County Board of Supervisors approved a land-swap deal with the city of Salinas that is the next step in adding over 40 acres of soccer pitches to the already 26 acres that are available at the Constitution Soccer Complex.

This episode was recorded during the last international break so there was little news coming out of the Quakes and MLS so I went in a different direction. I finally started using an intro that I put together last year featuring 4 of the most memorable calls in my recent soccer history and I take this episode to explain what every call means to me.

The Quakes get a tie by the hair of their chinny chin chin at home against Philly which makes me feel warm and fuzzy as a Quakes fan. Also, can MLS take advantage of a possible NFL work stoppage in 2021? I pull out my inner Nostradamus and figure it out.
