Cheap shot? Didn't Gregoire get a round of boos when she showed up at Qwest for the first game? May have been the echos from the Nickels boos. If Sonics were still in town, the Sounders would still be a success and a major draw I am sure. My point is that the Seattle-region was ready for a team they could get behind. Let's not forget what a bargain it is for pro sports, especially in down times. Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:33:25 +0000 http://sounders.american-soccer-news.com/?p=188#IDComment41008441
