In a new feature for Center Line Soccer, Lisa Erickson takes a look at the comments and conversations going on over at Twitter. We call it, in the parlance of the microblogging site, The Retweet. Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, sometimes informative — The Retweet promises to highlight tweets from in and around the San Jose Earthquakes family.

Morning Golf, Taco Bueno, Equinox workout/ massage, Thai food .... Call it a DAY!
