Monday MLS Breakdown: Henry and Shea continue their tussle for MVP honors
The current status of the MVP race likely whittles down to two eminently qualified choices: New York forward Thierry Henry or FC Dallas midfielder Brek Shea.
Much like other traditionally difficult battles – Burr versus Hamilton, Cain versus Abel and Joe versus the Volcano – between capable combatants, the status of the race could favor either candidate depending on the direction of the wind or the outcome of the last match.
If the most recent evidence – not including Shea's fantastic strike in midweek against Toronto FC – tips the scales in one direction or the other, then Henry may have just nudged in front of Shea at the moment after FC Dallas and New York drew 2-2 at Red Bull Arena.
While the FCD winger did most of his hard work defensively during a workmanlike shift in Harrison, Henry captured a point for the struggling home side with a turn-back-the-clock moment that showed his enduring class. The former Arsenal and Barcelona star twisted and turned on the edge of the FCD penalty area to carve out a yard of space and lash home the equalizer with five minutes to spare.
Henry has provided the all-important contribution time and again in his first full season in MLS. He leads the league with 11 goals, but, perhaps more vitally, he offers the sort of consistent touchstone the Red Bulls have needed in this tumultuous campaign filled with intrigue and turnover. Without Henry in the fold, the Red Bulls may have turned a few more of those draws into losses and slipped down the Eastern Conference table by this disappointing juncture in the season.
New York's rather indifferent campaign to date does not obscure Henry's brilliance, but it does lend additional credence to Shea's claims for top spot in the pecking order. After all, the success of a team – especially one wounded by a season-ending injury to David Ferreira – matters in these debates and FCD is ticking along nicely near the top of the vastly superior Western Conference.
Shea has emerged as the lynchpin in FCD's mighty collective effort in this campaign. The versatile 21-year-old has finally found a permanent home on the left flank and has repaid Schellas Hyndman's faith in his abilities by providing the impetus for a side expected to struggle in Ferreira's absence. Nine goals in 21 matches represents a career-high haul for the future U.S. international winger and a vital contribution for a side that could have struggled for goals without its Colombian playmaker.

Joe vs the Volcano – …But Can You Do the Job « FORK IN THE ROAD
(Can and can’t) … I’m getting better but some spelling is still required.
Our training consisted of Jimmy telling us the combination to the padlock on the gate. Lock and unlock it for every truck at night for safety reasons. Keep it closed at all times.
He gave us a clipboard with these instruction:”Just do what I did” – he’d written in 2 trucks before we got there.
He tossed two bright orange vests our way and left. It didn’t even occur to us to get a phone number.
That was it for training. That’s fairly typical.
We didn’t know what we were guarding. It was a frac pond (tank) on a hunting ranch but we didn’t know that until the job was over and not for lack of asking! No one else seemed to know either.
We never met the Company Man (we didn’t know what a Company Man was) or anyone else from the company. to be ready to roll when they show up to take away your generator.
Again, all that is pretty typical.
On short assignments, it’s not uncommon to have no idea when your gate is closing. We have friends that have been at gates for as few as 2 days and moved about every week or so.
The log is simple: name, company, license plate, purpose, time in and time out. The support trailers and the log sheets and the ever-present caliche are about all we gate guards have as common denominators. Everything else is a variable.
We had one day off when the Tilden gate closed. We’ve had one day off since we started in December, the next day we were sent north to Hallettsville. But before we even got parked we got the call to go to Smiley because the gate guard assigned to start there didn’t like the pad.
**Just a note on that one. Folks, you’re lucky if you get It turned out wonderfully for us. We joined Lantern 16 in Smiley and stayed with them until they got transferred a couple of weeks ago to Louisiana. We’ve been able to continue on with 2 of our Company Men, so we’re still in the same county, following a different rig. If you follow a rig (this is by mutual agreement – the Company Man wants you and you want to stay with them) you quickly learn how they want things done. But, the CM isn’t the only one who gets to vote. The drilling company has specific things they do or don’t want and the landowners, if local, often have plenty to say.
