Do or Die

Well - I think tomorrow's game against Chivas USA will determine the fate of the Quakes this season. If we can win and pick 3 points, we'll still be in the hunt for that final playoff spot. If we tie or lose, I think that will be our season unless something really crazy happens.



The keys to the game: ALL of our key starters need to have their A games on.



#1 JOE CANNON: Has been solid in net all year and I am sure he will be the same tomorrow at the SBSS.



#2 RAMIRO CORRALES: Ramiro has been injured much of the season and I hope that he returns in this game - we need his midfield experience.

#3 FRANCISCO LIMA: Francisco has been such a playmaker since he has arrived to SJ, but has been off of his game the last several outings. We need his spark again.

#4 ARTURO ALVAREZ: Arturo has not gotten his shots the last couple games and we need his offensive presence to be felt early in tomorrow's game.

#5 DARREN HUCKERBY: Hucks continues to be on fire, but has been slowed down due to an injury this week. We pray that he is 100% for tomorrow - without him, we really help the Chivas defense in planning for the game.

#6 RONNIE O'BRIEN: Ronnie is another major player on this team that has not been on his game in recent weeks. I am sure he is really beat up at this point in the season, but I hope that his energy and spark from the right side shines tomorrow night.

#7 NICK GARCIA: Nick is our warrior! He is the key to our amazing defense and I'm certain that he will be giving 200% at the SB San Siro tomorrow.

#8 SCOTT SEALY: Scott is another player the Quakes brought on that has energized the team in the 2nd half of the season. He and Lima need to be in perfect harmony in the midfield for us to have a chance.
