It's January 5th, 2006; 94 days before the start of the 2006 Metrostars season. Following the signing of Scottish D/M Peter Canero, and the parting of the ways with Colombian bust Sergio Galvan Rey, can't-pass defender Chris Leitch, and only-can-pass mid Mark Lisi, this is your current Metro squad.

With two weeks to go before the Superdraft, we're finally due for the first real news about the Metros and MLS since the end of the season - minor trades and waivers aside. A good place to start The Metrologist Report - as of this moment, the only blog I know of devoted to Alexi's Swamp Circus - The Metrostars. They're my team - after 10 years, the pride I utter this with could only be tinged with perversion and masochism - and this is where I'll try and dissect, (semi-regularly, semi-critically, and quasi-intelligently) what the hell's going on there. Stop by here once in a while for any (mostly) Metro-related news, rumors or thoughts that come down the pike.
