MLS Wins and Losses: Week 12
As always, you can get this in audio form with interruptions and terrible impersonations in each week’s Vocal Minority Podcast. For the second consecutive week, MLS got weird, especially in the East with the early front runners sputtering and the hopeless jokes now building win streaks, the sack race grinding to a halt.

THE STARTING 11: Other Legacies Tim Leiweke Could Leave Behind

South Stand Report : Toronto v. Portland
What a week. Full of emotions, frustrations and secretive deals and negotiations, years of broken promises, misleading statements, and it finally came to a head. The Leafs signed Babcock.

“Will BMO Field Break Or Bend?” – A Musical Tribute to Your Ignored Fears
“You know a sports and entertainment group with a Major League Soccer club is a little like the mule with the spinning wheel. No one knows how they got it, and danged if they know how to use it.” We know it’s a tough day in TFC Land. The breaking news that has, well, been…

Aw Man, Why Always Us? – Jozy Altidore Out 4-5 Weeks With Hamstring Strain
Well this couldn’t happen at a worse time. We all know that Jozy was injured in the game on Saturday night in Foxborough.
