Boy, you get the feeling that the drawn out pursuit of Argentine forward Maximiliano Urruti was a Kevin Payne pet project, don’t you?

Payne, fresh from D.C. United, made the daring moves to stockpile allocation money on draft day, and then supporters were frustrated when that cash wasn't splashed.

"I think it was the wrong decision by the ref. It certainly wasn't a foul," Caldwell said. "It was a good ball by Bob… and I scored. I was in the area first and held my ground, and it was very disappointing that I didn't get a goal."

For an athlete, there isn’t an injury that’s more frustrating than a broken big toe.

“I think all the boys would probably say it, there weren’t very many that played well today,” added Nelsen. “We are not good enough where we can have an off day and get away with it. Hopefully, we’ll be in a situation where we will be one day. But when we’re not all guns blazing, it can get a bit ugly.”

It’s hard to imagine a signing of any athlete in MLS history which has more of a “whew, it’s finally done” feel than Toronto’s FC’s announcement that Argentine forward Maximiliano Urruti is finally a Red.

According to Newell's Old Boys, Urruti is under contract till 2014: “The team believes that the player is missing his contractual obligation and must report to work under the orders of his coaching staff. Should this not happen, Newell's Old Boys will exercise appropriate legal mechanisms to defend their rights.”
