Jinxed by Chewie...

Well after a good start to our season we took our first lost yesterday.  We had won 2 and tied 1 game and had only given up one own goal in the first three.  Some we played well in and some we didn't but we were picking up points.  Then yesterday we totally dominated Kansas City and lose 1-0.  I take my hat off to Hartman he played well but we should have won 3-1 easily if we finish our chances.  Saying that I take full responsibility for the goal.  TO BE HONEST I THINK IT IS CHEWIE'S FAULT.  HAHA  Just last week he was saying how well I was playing and hadn't made any mistakes, he jinxed me.  Thats the last time I listen to anything he says.

No but really it was a fluky goal.  When we warmed up they had just watered the field so the ball was skipping and sliding like crazy.  So the field was playing fast and I knew balls would skip into me.  When we start the game the field is already dry.  Of coarse the first long ball that I come out for and expect to skip to me doesn't.  Instead it sticks in the dry grass and I get caught in no mans land.  So I take the blame on this one.  I just wish they had watered the field again after warmups,  then I might be talking about 3 straight cleansheets, haha.  Oh well this happens to goalkeepers.  The positive thing from the game was how well we did play, besides the finishing part.  We moved the ball around well  and took it to them.  I think we are building something very special here. 

On another subject.  I watched ManU vs Blackburn the other day and what a game Brad had. If it wasn't for him
Manu would have rolled over Backburn.   Good to see him playing well.

Well now its time to move on and start to think about our next game against the Rapids on Saturday night.

Unitl next time

I will take responsibility.   Your certainly right about Friedel.  He has been rock solid this year.

Just a little bump in the road. It's sometimes good to get a little taste of adversity early in the season. If it comes too late, after months of good fortune, it can cause everything to fall apart (See Arsenal). Come to think of it, I think Arsenal's collapse is also Chewie's fault.

Every Keeper makes mistakes at every level........I would if we can all blame Chewie?!

Wouldn't be awesome if someone like David James made an error and in his aftermatch interview said he blamed Chewie!

I wonder if the power of TGB could make it happen!

I think Buschy should say in his next aftermatch interview if/when the fire next lose a game (Hopefully not though)!

I blame Chewie after I make a mistake, so I say it is fair game for everyone!

I blame Chewie for the final I failed today. And I also blame him for my split ends.

I balme Chewie for picking the wrong horse last night.

So Buschy's GAA is all the way up to .5 through 4 games. Although it is kind of interesting. At mlsnet.com stats, there is an astersik next to Buschy's name and below it says

"Busch stats include 1 goal blamed on Chewie GK1."
