It has been a good while since the last installment of You Write the Caption but I can tell you that this week SBI will have at least two contests.
Today’s photo, courtesy of ISIphotos.com, is of New York Red Bulls head coach Juan Carlos Osorio, who has done an admirable job leading his new club to a 5-4-4 mark despite a myriad of injuries and the transfer of Jozy Altidore.
As you know, Osorio likes to take notes during matches and the practice has garnered snide remarks from plenty of opposing fans. With this in mind, here is your chance to figure out what he’s thinking and what he’s writing in that notepad of his.
You know the drill. Submit your caption suggestion and I will choose the ten best entries, with the reader whose entry is the best winning a t-shirt courtesy of SBI sponsor Objectivo Apparel. For those of you who haven’t visited Objectivo Apparel before, they have a good selection of soccer-themed t-shirts, and more importantly, SBI readers get free shipping on their orders. Just type in IVES in the promo code section for your free shipping.
Now, back to the contest. Try and figure out what’s going through the mind of the Colombian tactician. Try to be funny and please keep it clean (I’m looking at you Chicago Fire fans):

"Things-to-do list: Sign a forward, sign a midfielder, sign a defender, Call Wilman Conde back and contact the LA Galaxy for tips on circumventing the salary cap."
Now it’s your turn. What do you think Osorio is writing in his notepad? Share your caption suggestion below and if it’s good enough, you could win a free t-shirt.
Fire away.
Osorio: “Preheat oven to 350 . . .
Two cups of Flower
One cup of Sugar
Two pinches of Baking Powder
Hmmm . . . How many eggs?”
What the hell ‘DP Coming June 2008′ in Ives’ site mean?
I got a great quote for SBI’s ‘You Write the Caption’ …
“Hugo Chavez’s new Ralph Lauren vest.”
I always do my best thinking on the field! Maybe i should concentrate on the game ? … Nah!
Note to self: Call Giuseppe Franco and try Procede absolutely risk free… Hmph, wonder if he can do anything for my thinning defense?
huh… I told my wife to get this red bull energy drink stain out of my shirt!
“Hmmn… 9 letter word – ‘to render powerless or useless’ that’s easy. . . H-A-M-S-T-R-U-N-G”
I’m in enough trouble already…I can remember the milk, eggs and bread, but what else was I supposed to bring to the table?
“Dang, it’s embarassing I forgot my pencil. I’ll just fake it.”
My *Cute* List
– FC Dallas is really a mess if we beat them.
– Call Wilman.
– Find out why Angel and Reyna are being so rude, and won’t play anymore.
– Accidentally bump into this cute ref
– If I have time, then coach.
*~~*~**~~~**FUN~*~*~~~*~*CUTE~*~*~****~~~~:)****
– Finish cute designs too.
top 5 ways I can screw over RBNY worse that I did Chicago:
5. sign a washed up columbian striker…check
4. Don’t sign a mid or defender…check
3. keep Reyna….check
2. cost them a bundle of money when I could have come over for free….check
1. Sell Altidore….check
Trade idea: Angel, Conway, and Stammler to LA in exchange for a 4th round supplemental draft pick and agreeing to sign Claudio Reyna.
JCO – Ok, so let’s see ref…that’s George Washington Jr. High in Brooklyn? What’s the address there? What’s the kid’s name?
Ref – Juan, I told you he’s only 12.
JCO – Listen, you said he is an attacking mid. Just give me the damn address! I’m desperate here!
Osorio: “Last time I steal office supplies from Mini-Me.”
PR note to self: never allow yourself look as confused as Hyndman does on the Dallas bench.
PR note to self: never allow yourself look as confused as Hyndman does on the Dallas bench.
“What’s this? Wow! Ives just gave a coupon for 10% off at Objectivo Apparel. Cool”
“My god I suck at coaching”
Terrible call, ref. You’re down in my book.
Must remember this after the game: Where is my dignity and how did I lose it…
In regard to my previous post:
Liam..sorry I ripped you off, I searched the page and didn’t get a hit for it and assumed I was being original. Oh well-good post!
All work and no play makes Juan a dull boy.

(And so on…)
Now, Mr. 4th Official, who do I write this check to in order to get some calls to go my way??!!
Reyna usually leaves the stadium at 11:20pm. His car, a yellow Hummer, is parked in lot 4, license plate “DP 4 EVAH.” Remember, it must look like an accident or else his contract won’t come off the books…
#1 – Unsatisfied with the calls against his team, Osorio plots revenge with a piece of paper, a pen and some tape – certainly, this would be one “kick me” sign this linesman will never forget!
#2 – Being rather computer illiterate, Osorio writes in his entry for the soccerbyives “You Write The Caption” contest. He REALLY wants Objectivo apparel!.
Dear Jozy — you left some shoes in your locker. Some big shoes.
Dear Dima, perhaps I was too hasty…
People I’m Going To Kill One Day
Don Garber
Ref Ricardo Salazar
Ref Jair Marrufo
Ref Andrew Chapin
Ives Galarcep
Ref Kevin Stott
“Suduku is hard.”
“None of my ‘You Write The Caption’ entries are good enough for a free t-shirt. Must. Think. Harder, Osorio. You can do this.”
“I wish they would give me bigger stationary.”

After nearing the halfway point to the season JCO has finally figured out that he would have a better shot at winning it big on a scratcher, than winning anything in NY. “Come on one more wheel and I get to go spin the wheel on TV”.
“‘Please. Send. Help. Stuck. In. Sartre. Nightmare. Reyna. Won’t. Leave.'”
“Now, where can I find a bottle?…”
For My Last post:That didn’t come out right, but you get the idea.
Clue: Takes up 1/6 of my salary cap and is rarely on the field.

“Lets see, 4 down. Five letter word for wasted DP slot begining with R.”
Position applying for? Head coach
K-e-n-n-y C-o-o-p-e-r, man I got to get that guy into my MLS fantasy lineup!
“Juan Carlos begrudgingly readies his resume, just in case the summer transfers don’t come through.”
“Let’s see, 4 defenders, 2 defensive midfielders, 2 wingers, 1 Reyna, 1 striker who can’t shoot. Wait, that doesn’t come out to a win. I swear it worked out before!”
When scouting in Brazil, don’t hang out with Ronaldo
I’m a dumbass!!!
Keep writing until my picture is featured on SBI’s You Write the Caption.
Jozy Altidore – $10 Million
Red Bulls Soccer Stadium – $220 Million
Added “a lifetime supply of Red Bulls” on my contract – Priceless
Dear Wilman,
It hurts me more to write this letter than it will hurt you to read it, but I have known since May 25th that it’s over…
“Hmmm. Pete Rose assured me that we were one goal favorites in this game. Better get my bet down on the Galaxay/Dalas game to cover my losses.”
Hmmmmm….let’s see. Now how many times can I schedule us to play Dallas next season?
“Brilliant. This is bound to be the winning entry for SBI’s You Write the Caption”
“I’m getting the t-shirt. I’m getting the t-shirt. I’m getting the t-shirt.”
Osario and the linesman attempted to exchange phone numbers in secret before the ice cream social but were unsuccessful.
My team is so boring
At least I’m wining in hangman
