Today we saw another wonderful example of an MLS-related thing taking about 10 minutes to complete but about an hour to actually get results sent out to the public. (Supplemental drafts are pretty much this same thing every year!) Anyway, after way too long, we found out that the Rapids didn't select any of the…

Today we saw another wonderful example of an MLS-related thing taking about 10 minutes to complete but about an hour to actually get results sent out to the public.

Lo and behold, that's exactly what happened! Fortunately, the Dynamo should have a bit more offensive kick to their game this time around and have looked quite good in their playoff run this time around. The game being at HDC again will be tough — this is your reminder that had the Dynamo played their…

Quite frankly, I can't see either of them being taken since they'll both take up an international slot, both are over 30 years old and neither of them are particularly world-beating players. The Rapids have the sixth overall pick in the draft and depending on who is available, the Rapids just might pick someone up.…

The first MLS mock draft by TopDrawerSoccer had the Rapids selecting Jose Gomez, a midfielder out of Creighton, to help boost the attacking profile of the midfield. I'm expecting we'll see a slightly different tone out of their next mock draft following the huge round of cuts that the team made on Friday. This is…

What does that mean for the team? It means that they've gone 'all in' with Oscar Pareja. Basically, there is no way back now from what Pareja started to build this year. They can't successfully hope to fire him halfway through next season and salvage anything if they fail, it's going to take another complete…

1. The team is expecting him to have a resurgence in 2013, which is why they re-signed him with a pay cut in 2012. 2. The team is looking to trade him for something instead of releasing him outright. I'm leaning towards the latter of the two, personally. Despite the two off-years he has put…

There are a ton of open spots now on the roster. Like, way too many. I don't even know how they're going to field a full roster next season, they're gonna need to get so many new players into the fold. OK, so that's a lie, but it's still going to be a very busy…

On the whole, I have to say that I'm happy with all of the moves, except for maybe the releasing of Casey's. (That sounds like it was more his idea than anyone else's, though. And it was probably the most expected of the bunch, sadly.) Some quick thoughts on the released players… Conor Casey –…

I'm sure that the Richmond Kickers or whoever the hell picks him up for too much money will be very, very happy to have his unique 'good in the lower leagues at least' skills! But what of the Palguta depth meter? Questions for another, more somber day! (There will be a full story on this…
