    Javi return nears as Sept. 28 date set as new target

    I was going to talk about the salary documents a bit more, but some great news came yesterday, and I can hardly think about anything else. First, on Twitter, @RealSaltLake hinted (well, they said it, to be fair) that Javier Morales, our…

    RSL salaries take interesting turn with drops in base for Beckerman, Olave

    What an exciting day it is when salary information is released by the MLS Players Union! I mean this with only a degree of sarcasm, as I was actually quite interested, and there are some interesting things to have come out of the documents…

    Games-in-hand vital as season nears final weeks

    Still buzzing off that win, are we? Three in a row and that’ll do quite nicely! We got that boost to our morale by answering some big questions: Could we handle the apparent champions-in-waiting in Seattle? Were we going to crumble under…

    RSL 2 - 1 SEA: Claret and Cobalt oversaturate Emerald in bizarre 10-man match

    Going into yesterday's match against the league's hottest (or perhaps second-hottest, or even more perhaps tied-for-hottest) club — the Seattle Sounders — things looked a bit dreary and doomtastic. Once we scored, things were looking up a…

    Must-win match looms in the Emerald City

    Right, I’m writing this a bit late in the evening for publication in the morning (early, so if you’re feeling particularly bored or in need of something to waste a few minutes of your day, this will be ready and waiting), so let’s keep…

    Time for the Claret and Cobalt to quiet that noisy Seattle crowd

    Happy Friday, all! It’s a beautiful one in sunny southern Utah — a balmy 79 degrees right now — and the day before the match, so I’m buzzing like a bee with excitement. We’ll be facing the oh-so-scary Seattle Sounders, who are apparently…

    Rating the Midfield: How'd they fare without Javi?

    These strange lulls in the middle of the week have got to stop before I go mad. The season’s in its run-up period and we’re inching closer and closer toward an automatic playoff berth, but as we do, everything seems farther away and…

    International Roundup: Beckerman, Alvarez, Johnson and Alexandre

    Ah, that ever-pestering international break is over and we can back to our real focus: club football! Don’t get me wrong, it was nice to see Kyle Beckerman come in at the half and leave the pitch looking like the best player for the stars…

    The Beckerman Factor; RSL Reserves feature intriguing guests

    After a Devo-infected post yesterday, I thought it would be good to take things a bit more seriously. Or, you know, something. I thought that, really, but I decided I’d continue on my same path. Not the Devo path, but … oh, never mind.…

    RSL's through being cool as season picks up again

    There is only one thing to be done when the season finally looks to be picking up ... again ... and I’ve just done it. That’s right! I’m spinning some Devo ( New Traditionalists , if you must know) and enjoying a mantra that permeates the…
