Colorado Rapids May Preview – This Time, With Feeling

The fortunate thing about the early schedule for the Rapids is that there isn't much fixture congestion, which would probably kill a lesser team with the same injury woes that we've faced. Coming out of a sometimes-bright April that saw the team go 2-1-1, May might end up being the first big step for the Rapids in clawing their way back up to the playoff spots.

Another 2-1-1 campaign would certainly not hurt matters, especially with two pretty tough road games sandwiching what should be two easy home affairs. It's going to depend on health, of course, and if any more important players go down long-term we might start to see a slip from the incredible resilience they've shown thus far. Going into May though, I have to assume that eventually the Soccer Gods will give us a break.

Here's our May slate:
