09:48 AM ET 10.17 | With its MLS playoff hopes flickering and the goalkeeping corps lacking experience, D.C. United is prepared to make a radical lineup change Saturday night at RFK Stadium by starting a goalie who joined the club just this week. Steve Cronin, the goalie of the year in USL-1 for the regular season champion Timbers, received favorable reviews for his workouts and apparently beat out rookie Milos Kocic for the starting job.

Um, how is one change radical? Explain...

October 17, 2009  11:29 AM ET

Seriously, swapping one starting player on the team and calling it radical?

October 17, 2009  12:17 PM ET

This may be the lamest thread in months. I imagine that if pictures could talk Cronin would be shouting: "HAHA, yet another team duped in to thinking that I should ever be allowed to step foot on a MLS pitch again! YAHTZEE!!!!"

know what would be radical? Sitting Emilio until he's ready to play every game. Know what woulda been radical earlier this year? Not taking Danny Szetela, who's been outstanding in street clothes all year for the team. DC needs a big-time manager that can make people check their egos at the door. On paper they should be the best team in the league.... instead they're fighting for a playoff berth after winning the table last year.

Perhaps we would be better off discussing our favorite sitcom theme songs from the 70's, 80's, or 90's than this article.

"Show me that smile again. (Show me that smile)
Don???t waste another minute on your cryin???.
We're nowhere near the end (nowhere near)
The best is ready to begin.

Oooohhh. As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin right in our hands.
Baby you and me, we gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin???.

As long as we keep on givin???
we can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine, all the time
We got each other Sharin??? the laughter and love."

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows your name

Or perhaps:

Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.

Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin'
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in teh big leagues
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby
There ain't nothin wrong with that.

But the real question, which is the superior song?

October 17, 2009  04:59 PM ET

I bet we been together for a million years,
And I bet we'll be together for a million more.

Oh, It's like I started breathing on the night we kissed,
And I can't remember what I ever did before.

What would we do baby, Without Us?
What would we do baby, Without Us?

And there ain't no nothing we can't love each other through.

What would we do baby, Without Us?

Sha la la la.

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant.
And if you through a party
Invited everyone you ever knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend.

Here we are, face to face
A couple of Silver Spoons.
Hopin' to find, we're two of a kind
Making a go, making it grow.

Together, we're going to find our way.
Together, taking the time each day.
To learn all about those things you just can't buy.

Two Silver spoons together.
You and I together (We're going to find our way)
You and I together (We're going to find our way)
You and I together

You know something Pootie? I think we have brought up something we all should be aware of. What happened to good ol' fashioned sitcom theme songs? TV shows have no heart anymore.


Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he's a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

Everybody's got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine,
It don't matter that you got not alot
So what,
They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.
And together we'll be fine....

Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Yes it does.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

I thought this T & R was going to be about... a radical change in D.C.'s lineup!

October 17, 2009  11:43 PM ET

This post is too radical for comment...

 
October 18, 2009  12:50 PM ET

You take the good, you take the bad,
you take them both and there you have
The facts of life, the facts of life.

There???s a time you got to go and show
You???re growin??? now you know about the facts of life,
The facts of life.

When the world never seems to be livin up to your dreams
And suddenly you???re finding out
The facts of life are all about you, you.

It takes a lot to get ???em right
When you???re learning the facts of life. (learning the facts of life)
Learning the facts of life (learning the facts of life)
Learning the facts of life.

The most evil TV theme song ever created ... it permeates your brain and doesn't let go.
