If you have the answer as well as any questions or comments, feel free to e-mail me at steven.brooks@temple.edu and I will be happy to respond. If you do have an answer, please send some topics you would like to see discussed on MetroStars.com.
Also, make sure to catch the Metros at Giants Stadium on Sept. 3, when they host the Kasnas City Wizards at 7:30 p.m. ET.
That's all the babblin' I have time for this week. Go Metros!
