AC St. Louis 3-0 Portland

First, my apologies to Mike Ambersley whose play I denigrated in a previous post (the mobility of a traffic barrel was the phrase I believe). Mike pulled off the first hat trick in franchise history last night and managed some impressive counter-attacking moves as well. Congrats, Mike! Keep proving me wrong - I'll gladly eat my words.

I went out with Jim, Barb, & Jackson last night (thanks for the ride guys) and was met with a complete turn-around from the July 4th weekend. Players were hustling, the squad played like a team and attendance was way up, giving me hope that the franchise just might survive. I think good play will get fans in the seats and we've seen a lot of improvement since coach Schilly has taken the reins. AC finds itself in 4th place in the NASL conference of the D-2.

The only downside: full-price ticket for the four-year old. C'mon guys - don't be greedy.
