Santos "B" les dió...

* Santos B da cuenta del Cruz Azul
* Quintero regresa por la puerta grande
* ¿y por qué tanto cambio tú?
*A ver si se ponen a practicar penales.
* A recibir a los hijos de Knorr Suiza.

Ante un gélido estadio Azul, un Santos Laguna "B" ganó por una mínima diferencia a un Cruz Azul bastante desteñido y parchado en su alineación.
Siendo sinceros, le salió el jueguito al técnico del cuadro lagunero, eso de no llevar a Crosas, Gómez, Chato y Estrada más aparte meter a jugar un cuadro casi en su totalidad "nuevo" nos decía a muchos que entregaba el partido en las manos para los azules, hasta daba para pensar mal...
¿Fué orgullo, suerte, estrategia o realmente trabajo? Lo que sea que haya sido, Santos se trajo 3 puntos de oro del azul, le permitió seguir en la cima y ganar confianza en sus jugadores de banca, rumbo a las finales del torneo.

Éste fue el Santos B, que se presentó en el Azul

Lo mejor de todo es que se recuperó a Quintero, jugador que hasta antes de su lesión, venía marcando diferencia con el equipo y que afortunadamente, es que nuevamente lo siguió haciendo al anotar el solitario gol, luego de que Oribe Peralta fallara un penal al minuto 8 de la primera mitad al aferrarse a cobrarlo teniendo al segundo "cobrador oficial" en los botines de Morales, en lo que viene a ser una nueva falta al don de mando de Benjamín Galindo pues todos suponemos que él es el que decide quien tira y no los jugadores en la cancha, para el caso es que ambas veces que se han aferrado a cobrar los penales, ambos han sido fallados miserablemente y han desaprovechado esas claras oportunidades. En ésta no hubo consecuencias, pero en la anterior se dejó ir un empate ante el colero general en ese momento.

Si Oribe, igual pusimos las manos así cuando fallaste.

Durante el juego, solo una pregunta revoloteaba en mi mente, ¿por qué tanto cambio? ¿ a qué vino todo esto? ¿descanso? no concuerda siendo que Oribe lleva más juegos jugados, ¿lesión? probablemente en Gómez y Crosas, porque Guti hasta donde sé estaba bien, al igual que Chato, entonces, ¿por qué a estas alturas? y si bien no quise comentar nada en facebook cuando supe la noticia del no viaje de los titulares, me contuve pues quería dar el beneficio de la duda, algo bueno tenía que salir en la no inclusión de Ludueña y la entrada del joven Ramírez, la Mona y la reaparición de Quintero, pero luego me topaba con pared al ver a Ochoa y Morales dentro del terreno...así que era una lucha de opiniones mentales bastante diversa....
Pero sea lo que sea, hay que reconocer que tanto Ochoa como Morales tuvieron un buen partido, el primero sacrificandose y corriendo bastante para la recuperación de balones y el segundo igualmente con buenos esfuerzos, descolgadas y regresando de inmediato a la marca. El resultado fue unos primeros minutos de un Santos incesante al frente, se veía mucho mejor que los azules, y pudieron haber tomado ventaja tempranera sin embargo, la falla de Oribe en el manchón de penal, vino a bajarle los animos a los verdes y causar el efecto contrario en los azules anulándose por completo en lo que restaba de la primera mitad.

Excelente regreso a la cancha, mejor imposible.

Para la segunda parte, vino el gol de Quintero cuando en una buena descolgada, Peralta saca centro que Ochoa deja pasar de forma bastante inteligente para la llegada de Darwin quien antes había tenido una clarísima pero que Corona se había encargado de sacar de forma milagrosa, pero en esta ocasión Quintero cruzaría de forma correcta y lo suficiente para marcar el 0-1 que a la postre sería la victoria del conjunto lagunero, no sin antes -y como fiel a su costumbre- hacernos la victoria dramática y apurada gracias a dos expulsiones.

Buen juego de Morales.

A Destacar: El regreso de Quintero con gol incluído, se le vio motivado y con muchas ganas de pisar el área lo que nos pone a pensar...¿y ahora, a quién van a sentar? porque Hérculez trae racha goleadora, y lo menos que debería hacer Galindo sería sentarlo a él...
Creo que llega en un momento exacto el hecho de que tengas a todo tu aparato ofensivo listo, y por qué no, ir pensando en verlos a todos juntos ( hasta crees) pero es de miedo sólo de pensarlo, Peralta y Herculez arriba, llegando Quintero y Suárez a los lados, Crosas y Chato recuperando, nada mal, así le mandas un mensaje más que claro al Hacha pues igual y hasta sería la segunda opción de cambio siendo Candido la primera.

Lo Lamentable: el debut del joven Armendáriz, sin duda fue una jugada desafortunada, pero el árbitro debería haber tenido un poco de consideración siendo que es su debut y que no tenía absolutamente ninguna mala intención contra alguien, y cuantimás cuando a otros los dejan golpear y ser cerdos en cada momento.
Ojalá se le diera una segunda oportunidad creo que todos nos la merecemos, y más aun cuando en tu plantel tienes a otros que les has dado mil y un oportunidades para "demostrar" su futbol y nomas has obtenido resultados magros o lamentables.

Se viene el gallo ( ah cabron, ¿perdon?) bueno, recibimos ahora a los hijos de Knorr Suiza, que vienen estrenando técnico en la figura de David Comezzo ( ya ven como es la banda de carrillenta) en el papel, no debe haber problema pero lo repetiremos hasta el cansancio, éste equipo nuestro nunca garantiza una victoria y menos ante los cuadros débiles tal y como lo vimos ante Chivas.
Galindo tiene uno de los mejores problemas que todo entrenador desea, el no saber a quién poner debido a que varios andan encendidos, ojalá sepa meter a la mejor gente al terreno de juego y que ésta le retribuya brindándole a la gente un buen juego de futbol
Se ha hecho del conocimiento que el partido irá por SKY (chingas a 20) así que si puede, asista al estadio, apoye al equipo, desahóguese en el Corona, y grite con todo lo que tenga adentro al rival, como lo hemos dicho antes, si su economía no le alcanza para ir al Corona, présteme su credencial de elector y ...ah caon, no, luego me denuncian en la FEPADE jajajajaja

¡Sale!

A recap of ep 2x13 from TWD

Just found it and thought it would be nice to post ;) to remind you everything that happened in ep 13 (aka the season 2 finale) NO Romanian translation for this!

In the thirteenth episode and season finale of THE WALKING DEAD Season 2, “Beside the Dying Fire,” a zombie herd ends the group’s sojourn at the farm and not everyone makes it out alive. With the comfort of a possible new home gone, and truths shared about Shane’s (Jon Bernthal) death and the greater mystery surrounding the genesis of the zombie apocalypse, the survivors once again face an uncertain future plagued by doubt. Can Rick (Andrew Lincoln) finally take the reins as leader, even if it means becoming a dictator in a post-democratic world? And is there a future for this ragtag group? It might lay just over the horizon.

Fans that worried the second season held back too much on the zombie front certainly get their fill here in a stunning siege that takes up most of the first half of the episode and ends with imagery that recalls the classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD as well as a barn-burning at the end of the iconic ZOMBI 2. In a beautifully structured opening that takes us back to Atlanta and a certain helicopter, we follow a herd as it shambles through days and nights, finally reaching the farm as seen in the closing moments of last episode, when the shot Carl (Chandler Riggs) fired to take down Shane inadvertently rings the dinner bell for the walking dead.

The action is cinematic and impressive, with moonlight washing over corpses and desperate humans, and there’s carnage galore as Patricia (Jane McNeill) and Jimmy (James Allen McCune) meet their fates. Neither one of them were ever imbued with an ounce of character, however, so their loss is not emotionally impactful but merely serves to provide the bloody punctuation for the attack.

Some viewers might even take an extra measure of glee in seeing the farm setting – so long emblematic of the stalled storyline for much of the second season – falling to the horde as the survivors struggle to make it through their darkest night. But even if you were one of those that questioned the pacing this year (I was certainly one of them), there’s something to be said for holding back a bit and then exploding in the finale with an epic war between the living and the dead. Although the show always has a cinematic quality, this episode feels like many great zombie films compacted into one tense hour; it even made the loss of the farm feel profound. Another aspect to this approach is that character is largely eschewed in favor of action, but it’s no loss – after all, we’ve spent weeks exploring the psyches of nearly every cast member, so now it’s time to let them all loose and see who comes out the other end.

Carol’s ignorant reaction is irksome enough – and at least Daryl (Norman Reedus) tries to set her straight, but Lori? She’s angry? In episode 9, “Triggerfinger,” she perched on Rick’s back like a goblin and whispered in his ear that Shane was plotting against him; she virtually ordered Shane’s murder. Now that Rick tells her he followed through, she has the gall to be mad at him?Once the others have retreated, it’s time to take stock, but ripped away from the only security they had, it’s understandable that everyone begins to question even the value of staying together. One thing that doesn’t make sense, though, is the way in which Carol (Melissa Suzanne McBride) and Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) turn on Rick when he finally steps up to the plate, reveals what Jenner told him back at the CDC, and lays down the facts about Shane’s demise.

In a post-finale interview with Robert Kirkman, the writer/executive producer did address this point by suggesting that it’s projected self-loathing from a woman consumed with guilt over what she wrought on two best friends. I can almost buy that, but in the show itself the scene just rings false, or at least doesn’t provide an inkling of the nuance that Kirkman offers. Perhaps we’ll see more on this point early next year. Even if we do, I can’t help but feel that although Callies has struggled valiantly with the material, the character of Lori has been a very poorly served one. She’s wildly inconsistent and almost thoroughly unlikeable. Still, the prison arc is coming…

As for the big revelation that everyone carries the zombie virus, I have to admit to being surprised this has even become a plot point. Being so used to the genre, I had always assumed from day one we were in a latter-day Romero-esque universe in which everyone that dies gets back up. It surprised me that they felt it important to establish a viral source and spell it out, but I suppose I was underestimating the need for the larger TV audience to have the mechanics explained just a bit more. It also seems the show wants to have it both ways, with elements of the supernatural side of the genre overlaid with a more scientific structure – everyone comes back regardless of contact, but it’s the result of an infection. It all amounts to the same thing though, which is fine, but the bigger question is: What does this even matter? There’s no sign the disease is killing them or doing anything other than laying dormant until they die, so since they’re already resigned to a world with zombies, this changes nothing apart from the need to deliver a head shot to anyone that keels over.

Reedus’ Daryl is one of the best characters on the show – he cracks a racist joke here in a knowing nod to his roots, with everyone aware that he has grown beyond that person – but Hershel (Scott Wilson) has also grown into a favorite of mine after he woke up to reality and channeled his farmer stoicism into supporting Rick’s leadership. I’m glad to see he made it through the dark night and will rejoin us for at least some of Season 3. It’s also satisfying to see Glenn (Steven Yeun) at long last tell Maggie (Lauren Cohan) he loves her.

In another nice touch of symmetry, we end the season back on that highway where the group had left provisions for Sophia. There’s a clever reversal where Rick tells Hershel to have faith, only for the old man to respond with a funny yet profound comment about Christ’s promise to resurrect the dead. And then…there’s Michonne.

Although the show has quite rightly forged its own path by taking elements of the comic and reshuffling them to what they hope is the best possible effect on the small screen, the closing moments of this episode surely warmed the heart of many long-time fans. Not only did Michonne at long last show up (well, played by a stand-in, but still…), but as the series faded out until next season, the prison appeared bathed in moonlight over the horizon. With recent news that the Governor has been cast (David Morrissey) and now word on who will wear Michonne’s hood (Dania Gurira), it looks like we’re set for an adaptation of what was arguably theWALKING DEAD comic book’s finest and most harrowing story arc.

The third season may very well follow suit with other sci-fi/fantasy/horror shows and be its very best; I for one can’t wait to find out. Until then, board up the doors and windows and listen to Rick; after all, he’s the leader! This is no longer a democracy, and it’s about time too…
