Rev captain Ralston out for season

Revolution captain Steve Ralston will miss the rest of the season with a torn right knee anterior cruciate ligament, the team confirmed Monday. Ralston was injured in the 19th minute of a 2-1 win over the Seattle Sounders Saturday.

"No. 1, he's the captain, and he's the guy,in the final third (of the field) that can make things happen," coach Steve Nicol said. "We're losing that, but, at the same time, it's the old story -- it gives somebody else the opportunity and us the chance to find out if they can do the job. We'd rather him but, the fact is, we don't, so we move on and figure out what we do have. We don't have another 'Rallie' but the bottom line is we do have players with something to offer."

The Revolution (10-8-7, 37 points) visit Dallas Wednesday.
