Colorado Rapids 2-0 DC United
By Kyle | May 4th, 2008How good are the Rapids? On Sunday, the Rapids outplayed DC United by any measure, and I still think they underperformed. I really think they could have scored three or four if they had just finished on a few of the opportunities they had in the fi ...
How’s That DP Slot Treating You, DC?
By Kyle | May 3rd, 2008Sometimes I think people talk about sports by saying really simple things in an overcomplicated way. For example: the Rapids game versus United on Sunday really comes down to which team shows up. In most of their games, the Rapids proved to be a fo ...
Week Six Preview
By travis | May 1st, 2008And so it continues. Another week, another feeble attempt from me to act like I know what I'm talking about. Making picks for each match makes things fun; each game now means more to me. This week, I'm tired and don't have much to say. Here we go: ...

Week Four Recap: Can I spell Unpredictable?
By travis | April 21st, 2008Another weekend, another string of results that shocked me. No offense to San Jose, but I didn't see them winning any games anytime soon, and to stick two goals on the supposedly resurgent Rapids was definitely impressive. Toronto got their second wi ...
