Hey everyone, here's something a little different. Just in case you did not get a good look on Twitter at the Houston Dynamo reserves' 1-0 win over FC F(U)risco tonight, here's a Twitter progress of the entire match, mostly from Jose de Jesus Ortiz, but with some others mixed in.
Before we start, what I like the most about this sort of thing is the whole old-teletex/telegraph feel of following a match this way. So, to continue that theme, you should have a clickty-clackity-chatchachatchachatcha sound goin on in the background. And like that, instead of posting a game story, you'll just have to follow along and get to the end.
Enjoy! Now...To the game Batman (as well as Brad Davis news, after the jump)!!!
"It's a minor strain," said Brad Davis of his left calf.

More from @BradsBrigade "The good news is it's not as bad as I thought it would be. ... I'll be ready to go sooner than later."

Beautiful day here in Frisco.

(Looks like a normal turnout for a first team game to me. Just sayin'.)
Deric, Sarkodie, Taylor, Recio, Creavalle, Moffat, Carr,Dixon, Ownby, Weaver, Kandji start for Dynamo reserves.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Creavalle's at center back with Taylor. Carr's at AM.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
@OrtizKicks who is the one with the high top fade?
— Daniel Robertson (@Bigdsoccer) April 11, 2012
@Bigdsoccer Only one high-top fade in MLS, right @OrtizKicks? Gotta be Creavalle.

Dixon shoots over crossbar after exceptional cross from Sarkodie from right wing to left side of 18-yd box
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Dixon just did a donut on left wing. Impressive 1v1.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Kandji just tested keeper, wide left, with defender draped over his back.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Moffat just rocked the post with rocket. Ownby being tended to by trainers. Was hit in face by ball as it was cleared.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Wow Moffat just destroyed one off the post from about 25-30 yards out
— Daniel Robertson (@Bigdsoccer) April 11, 2012
Experts next to me just pointed out Moffat's rocket was off his left, his non-dominant foot, not that I could tell by the power.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Weaver heads wide off header Moffat hit into 6-yd box off Dixon corner, which Sarkodie had won
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Moffat just saved goal on breakaway.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Warren Creavalle with great defensive stop to snuff out dangerous scoring threat.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Halftime scoreless. Dynamo has dominated possession, especially early. FC Dallas had stronger final 15 minutes.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
#HoustonDynamo reserves and @FCDallas reserve are scoreless at the half. Be sure to follow @OrtizKicks for detailed updates.
— HoustonDynamo (@HoustonDynamo) April 11, 2012
Same Dynamo lineup for 2nd half.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Dixon was betrayed by 1st touch on possible breakaway down left wing into the box.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Deric with the save. Nice give and go. Dynamo counter with shot by Recio.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Soto is warming up. Colin Rolfe also checking in.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Pardon the interruption in the stream here, but, uh, Soto was in there? I wonder, is he still on loan? Anyone know?
Judging from my rec coaching experience (sarcasm) Creavalle and Recio are young guys really standing out.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
@OrtizKicks creaville has been fantastic on Luna tonight
— Daniel Robertson (@Bigdsoccer) April 11, 2012
@Bigdsoccer @ortizkicks Luna isn't very good IMO, slow player
— Daniel Rosenthal (@darosenthal8) April 11, 2012
Rolfe and Soto are in. Dixon and Ownby went out.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Taylor has been nails today. A rock at CB.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Impressive run from Kandji, who made a donut on a def inside 18 yd box. Sent pass to Rolfe, who couldn't finish.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
In ensuing corner, FC Dallas got lucky when Recio's header was kicked out at far corner by defender
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
7 of 11 players on the field for Dallas from the academy
— Daniel Robertson (@Bigdsoccer) April 11, 2012
Weaver finishes with nifty chip. Rolfe was awesome with nice run, dribble through traffic. Power and finesse for assist.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Dynamo lead 1-0. Cannot emphasize enough how impressive Rolfe was with great assist.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
@OrtizKicks if Davis can't go Sunday would Rolfe or Dixon be options on the wing?
— Total MLS (@TotalMLS) April 11, 2012
Colin with another nice run, his shot deflects off defender for corner.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Christian Gonzalez from Academy replaces Weaver.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Dynamo beat FC Dallas reserves 1-0. Weaver scores winner.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Creavalle is my Man of the Match. Moffat and Taylor were anchors. Defense was very, very strong w Recio, Creavalle, Taylor, Sarkodie.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Dynamo Reserves are 3-0 this season with 3 shutouts. Defense.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Walking out of FC Dallas next to @ussoccer player Brek Shea, who watched @HoustonDynamo reserves beat Dallas 1-0
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) April 11, 2012
Dynamo Reserves defeat FC Dallas Reserves 1-0 to improve to 3-0 in Reserve League play. Well done boys!
— HoustonDynamo (@HoustonDynamo) April 11, 2012
So there you go. A nice win tonight for the Reserves over the Frisco ISD Junior Varsity XI. Hopefully, some of this brilliance, especially on defense, will be on display Sunday night in Chicago.
