In The Retweet, Volume 8, Lisa Erickson takes a look at the comments and conversations going on over at Twitter as the Earthquakes spend a week of their preseason training camp in beautiful Oxnard, California. What's a team supposed to do when one the road? How about bonding over some fun photos and not-so-late night poker games. That Wondolowski, sure seems to be playing with house money! Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, sometimes informative — The Retweet promises to bring you the best tweets from in and around the San Jose Earthquakes and Center Line Soccer family.
Thank u to everyone who voted for #MLS twitter best XI
