Who will make the postseason from the Eastern Conference, in no particular order?

Out Of Nowhere? Not Exactly


David is back from Whatever USA -- and he's certainly worse for wear -- with stories of Lil' Jon, baba ghanoush and two days of bro-ing out. With that out of the way, the guys turn their attention to MLS' weekend action, which saw some unkind results out West (6-0 shellacking by LA over Colorado) as well as some competitive ones (RSL's win vs. Dallas thanks to Sabo's first touch.


But the real talking points came in the East: Why does Michael Bradley feel he has to put Toronto on his back? What happened to Sporting KC? Luis Robles got the W vs. the MLS Cup defending champs, and he sheds some light on a precarious season in New York.


Meanwhile, in Columbus, Justin Meram found the back of the net twice with his "meat hook" vs. Chivas USA. He's also eligible to play for Iraq and wary of a new signing on the Crew backline. It may have been moving day, but Meram still took the time to chat with ETR.
