Ok, so Toja is going, if not already gone. Kenny Cooper has one cleated boot out the door. Now Arturo Alvarez is off as well. Who the... what... do we still have a team?

FC Dallas today completed a trade with the San Jose Earthquakes, acquiring allocation money and San Jose’s first round pick in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft, which was acquired from Houston, in exchange for forward/midfielder Arturo Alvarez. San Jose had obtained Houston’s natural first round pick in the 2009 draft in exchange for forward Kei Kamara on June 24.

The 22-year old Alvarez has scored three goals and added three assists in 16 games this year. Dallas acquired Alvarez on Jan. 14, 2005 from San Jose along with Richard Mulrooney and two draft picks in exchange for Brad Davis, a draft pick, and allocation money. In three and a half seasons with Dallas, Alvarez appeared in 86 regular season games, scoring 11 goals and adding 11 assists.

FCD now owns two first round picks (FCD natural, and Houston’s natural), two second round picks (LA’s and RSL’s natural), and one third round selection (Chivas USA’s natural) in the 2009 SuperDraft.

The Trains at NorthPark Oh, no! Godzilla got into the Northpark train exhibit! But don't worry, the engineers will have it back up and running in time for your mall visit. And now, BEFORE the big holiday rush, is the best time to see them, before hundreds of drooling children take over the enclosure after Thanksgiving. More info
