Hi. So my kid’s birthday is a week from today and we got him one of those inflatable bounce castles because a) our kid is awesome and b) Amazon sells damn near everything, and was cheaper than renting it believe it or not.

Saved The Crew (Massive Report): Also, the Columbus Crew SC appear to be...the Columbus Crew for the foreseeable future, or at least on their way to being so.
Herrera can play “15-20 minutes” against DC United (Hudson River Blue): It’s nice to be good and all, but New York City FC’s Russell Canouse (Yangel Herrera) may be returning against us, so plan accordingly.
United States women qualify for World Cup with 6-0 win over Jamaica (SSFC): Yay, France awaits!
Anyway, gotta go, I have some gifts to wrap. Here’s the trailer for Season Two of Making a Murderer, out on Netflix later this week:
