Ramirez is back. He was interviewed on GOLTV's American Soccer

Maybe they're scraps, but then again look at an LA exile like Mullan,
he's done much better with the Quakes. Same with Craig. I have to
admit, I didn't like the idea of getting Califf either, but, who
knows, the Quakes have usually been able to make good use of LA
rejects.

I don't know if it will be as good as 2001, but I don't expect
anything as bad as 2000 as some people have said.
