She was a lot more into it early in the first half.

It took a couple of games for them to hit their stride, but after a disappointing defeat in their season opener against LA and a hard loss to Chicago, the reincarnated San Jose Earthquakes got their first goals, their first regular season win, and their first shutout against Colorado last night. READ IT.

Sure, it was a bummer seeing the Quakes go down 2-0 in their season opener, but if they had to fall to anyone, it might as well be Beckham and Donovan. That duo may well be unstoppable this season. Meanwhile, I’m looking to Gavin Glinton and Kei Kamara for some big offensive plays for the Earthquakes this year.

Frankly, it was great seeing Beckham back on his game, even if it did come at the expense of my home team. Ultimately, a winning Beckham in top form will be better for MLS soccer than a winning San Jose Earthquakes could ever be. Even so, I’m hoping to see the Quakes reclaim their past glory under the direction of Coach Yallop.

I’m in the market for a new umbrella. Ideally, I’d like something that can tuck away neatly in my already overloaded man purse, but still stand up to fierce winds. Any suggestions?
