    It may be just a random Wednesday match in April, but Monterey Bay FC at New Mexico United is worth circling on this year's calendar. After all, first place in the USL Championship Western Conference is at stake. kAm|@?E6C6J q2J Wc\`\aX 92D 366?

    Show me the money — so I can root against it. That's the unfortunate dilemma of average Joe sports fans like myself these days. Tidal waves of cash keep crashing into our once-pleasant beach, bringing shark warnings, program devastation and an every-man/woman-for-themselves mentality that takes some of the fun out of root-root-rooting for our favorite teams. Some of this is old hat.

    Late lightning struck again in New Mexico United’s U.S. Open Cup battle with El Paso Locomotive FC on Wednesday night. This time the bolt didn’t go New Mexico’s way. kAmt= !2D@’D p?5J r23C6C2 D4@C65 :?

    New Mexico United seemed out of sync and a bit out of sorts Saturday night. Thomas Amang fixed all of that in the blink of an eye. kAmp =2E6 D64@?5\92=7 DF3DE:EFE6[ p>2?8 D=2>>65 9@>6 2 C65:C64E65 8@2= :?

Pinch-hitting for slugging @GeoffGrammer at Isotopes Park tonight. Not going well for the Topes (down 6-0) - nor for GG's beloved Taco, who finished a distant third in the season's first chile race. #gogreen

FT: @NewMexicoUTD 1, Miami FC 0 Not always pretty but United will take it. Fernando's 70th minute goal and some stellar play in goal by Tambakis lifts NMU to 3-1-0.

Halftime: @NewMexicoUTD 0, Miami FC 0 United probably fortunate to be even thanks to some big early saves by Tambakis. Shots 8-8 but NMU with just 2 on target, fired wide on some quality looks. NM with 65% of possession.
