Five for Friday: Top tweets of the week

Preseason is officially here. We're excited, fans are excited and so are the players and coaches, of course. On this fine Friday afternoon, we bring you some of our favorite tweets to begin the journey in 2013.

Please note: We value originality in these parts, so anything that included a "rise and grind" and/or "#hardworkdedication" were pretty much immediately disqualified.

We kick it off with Mike Petke, who didn't really have much to say yesterday but the following:

Sorry I have been quiet today but something came up!!!!!!! Thank u to everyone who reached out to me.

Our good friend Jay DeMerit admits to a little early soreness:

This next one from PDX midfielder Eric Alexander really has nothing to do with preseason at all, but it's hilarious so we've included it anyway:

The mighty ducks go through some serious up and downs for a youth hockey team.

And we conclude with a little multimedia from Tim Cahill, who didn't take this photo himself.
