7 Matches In, 8 Tomorrow
tags: XanGo Soccer
So LA came out and broke my Predictor Machine during the final seconds of Wednesday night’s match… hmmm… maybe we’ll thank them for it later? I mean, now that it’s broken, we don’t have to predict a 0-2 loss tomorrow when we play Chivas on the road, right?
I’ll let you answer that.
On the heels of a little disappointment, it feels like the time is right for a little side-by-side seasonal comparison to lift our spirits. Therefore, I present to you the numbers from 2008 through 7 games and the numbers from 2009 through 7 games in an attempt to chart some progress.
2008 THROUGH SEVEN GAMES . . . . . . . . 2009 THROUGH SEVEN GAMES

Here’s hoping the Robes do a number on our expansion bros tomorrow.
