The New York Red Bulls come to town tonight. They have lost their last four, and winless on the road this season, and have yet to score a goal away from Giants Stadium. Surely we can't mess this up, right?
I'd expect that newly-acquired defender Nick Garcia will slide right into the starting eleven, especially with Marvell Wynne away on international duty and Jim Brennan being a game-time decision because of an ankle injury. Something tells me Jimmy will be playing - who knows though, I could be wrong. Filling Marvell Wynne's right back spot could be Marco Velez. He can play right back, just trust me on this (or maybe don't...).
Amado Guevara is back from international duty, so hopefully he's not too tired to play. I'm sure he'll be included in the team though - he's never sat out because of fatigue in similar situations in the past. Chad Barrett is nursing an ankle injury, so if he isn't able to go,Rohan Ricketts could get a rare start. Here is how I think we'll line up tonight... we probably won't miss as many sitters.
Update: How could I forget DeRo? See what happens when I post before 9:00 in the morning? Ricketts won't be starting unless Cronin is played at right back. DeRo will obviously be on the pitch today.

The trade this past week has put a glimmer of hope in the eyes of most TFC fans, but if we can't get a result against this struggling Red Bulls side, the pressure will be back on Mo Johnston and the backroom staff at the club.
The main man in New York is obviously striker Juan Pablo Angel. The Colombian has scored 37 goals in 61 appearances since signing with New York in 2007. This year though, he only has four. He hasn't been getting the appropriate service since Dave Van Den Bergh was traded to FC Dallas.
One of the things I'm most surprised about with the New York Red Bulls is their persistance in keeping head coach Juan Carlos Osorio. We're at the midway point of this 2009 season, and he still doesn't have a best eleven. If some of you guys think Mo Johnston has made some bad signings, take a look at the Juan Carlos Osorio shit list: Juan Pietrevallo, Gabriel Cichero, Khano Smith, Dominic Oduro, and possibly even Carlos Johnson. His big signing last season, Jorge Rojas, hasn't exactly shone either. Last year they made the MLS Cup final, but none of his midseason signings played major roles in that run. This year, he's lead them thus far to last place in the East with a record of 2-9-3.
New York's pretty bad this year. C'mon, we can't screw this up, right?
