The header from a Brad Davis free kick begins to make its way into goal…
…and moments later Faryd Mondragon celebrates Seba’s beautiful goal.
The howls came loud from the undead on Sunday night.
Seba and Mondi prepare for a free kick.
Faryd punches a ball clear.
Getting the Sons of Ben pumped up.
Young and old come to support our boys in blue.
Calen Carr scores a second goal for Houston…
… and Faryd and Calros Valdes are gutted by it.
Bring out your dead!
One of six yellow cards for the night is handed out.

That guy with the vagina neck sure was excited.
Alternate caption. The neck wound has a name and it’s ‘Open for Business’
Earl, did I notice a photo of a kerfuffle toward the end of the essay?
Wow, that was a major fail on my part.
The neck vag was worn out by the end of the night.
Great pics!
any pictures of the beer spillers? I heard someone bought $39 worth of beer and had $26 of it spilled by those around him.
Yeah, I missed the spillers. What pricks… Who would do such a thing.
Punchy looks like he got taller.
Earl,
Maddy looks awesome in the last pic! I’m making her an official SOB next year and she’s thrilled! Thanks for the shot!
