BELATED #TWITTERVIEW WITH CATO. Some of my favorites:

“@Pain_Machine: Who gives the best hugs? Who should probably cut them off a bit sooner?” hahaha I don't know! (roger does and should let go)"

“@erikfriberg8: @brad_evans3 Swedes are so stupid... you good today?” I'm not fully understanding this question. English please." silently crying in my pillow. FRIIIBERGGG :'(

"“@stuholden: What size is your underwear?” this is not about me Stuart but if you must know... Small :(" !!!!!!!!!

And pretty much all the ones with (brad's comments) were fantastic. ALSO, this tweet, after the Q&A session:

“@JasonBanton: Just Like You, I Get Lonely Too” if I have to read another sad tweet I'm gonna Unfollow you!"

[prussianturtle]

omg at Erik making an appearance! Freebird...;___; loling forever at his tweet though. He's such a dork. :33

I hope Evans does more of these Q&A's.

[saraaa3]

ahhhhh. I missed this! now to read a back catalog of tweets......

hopefully more will happen!

;_; Friberg

[prussianturtle]

I love that the hobbits teamed up for this. (and Brad's tweet later about Duran & Burch being cheaters, lol)

[prussianturtle]

HONEY BADGER!

[saraaa3]

this was lovely. i was so happy to see it.

then i scrolled down on the sounders page. and then i got the news.

not cool.

but i am not going to talk about it. i am back in full scale denial

[prussianturtle]

I was praying it was just a stupid early April Fool's joke and not actually the real thing. Fuck everything. ;-;

[saraaa3]

sad bender even makes this more depressing.

also. i agree. i don't even want to watch that video of all the sounders singing every again. i think i might just starting bawling again. how many of them are gone now...

[archsaio]

I am NOT impressed with Neagle and Fucito leaving for this Johnson fellow. Not okay at all. Fucking Montreal is rising and rising on my "do not like" list tbqh.

GOING INTO DENIAL NOW :'(

[prussianturtle]

WHAT THE FUCK.

FOR EDDIE FUCKING JOHNSON.

As in, the one I only remembered existed a few weeks ago, just because of the trade rumors?

*sobs*

[prussianturtle]

Not that I have anything against Johnson (besides the fact that two of my favorite Sounders were traded for him), but I honestly thought he disappeared a while ago. :\\\

This has been one of the worst offseasons ever. ;____;

[archsaio]

I can't say I have anything against Johnson in particular because I've never seen him play, but the fact that we traded Neagle and Fucito (two players who, even if they don't always score, work hard and at least provide some depth to our fragile team) for a player who's probably already reached his best and hasn't scored in two years? It makes no sense. Ugh, maybe we do need a forward who can work well with Fredy while also scoring lots of goals, but frankly I doubt Jonhson is the answer. And personally I have never agree with the idea that we needed a new forward. We were the highest scoring team last season, for heaven's sake! If we could have kept our offense (while having the addition of Zak back to our roster who would have helped us more) and just improved our defense I would have been beyond pleased. ;___;

Aye. :| I am liking the MLS System less and less, even if I love the Sounders to pieces.

[prussianturtle]

Is this the soccer gods getting back at me for wishing that we would eventually have a usmnt player on our team.

BECAUSE I MEANT KELYN ROWE, DAMNIT, NOT JOHNSON. AND I DID NOT MEAN FOR ANYONE TO ACTUALLY GET TRADED EITHER.

[archsaio]

lol omg thinking about Rowe right now just hurts even more :(

OH MY GOD WE DON'T HAVE ANY HOME GROWN PLAYERS ANYMORE DO WE? ;_____; This depresses me sfm.

[prussianturtle]

I watched his rookie video that the Revs put out like a week ago, and I couldn't help thinking every other minute "YOU COULD HAVE BEEN IN SEATTLE, YOU COULD HAVE BEEN HOME, DOING ALL OF THESE THINGS WITH US ;~;" Ugh.

I think you're right. God, I am such a mess rn, and this just makes me want to sob in a corner even more. We just had to trade the Federal Way kid off...

[archsaio]

HE WILL COME. SOMEDAY~~~~

I hate it so much. I am far too attached to homegrown kids, but THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO LEAVE ANYWAY. :( MLS needs to start implementing some homegrown player regulations tbqh.
