I brought this up in the Thugcast a while ago, and Ben was a dick about it. Ben is still wrong, because the MLS Cup 2010 doesn't count when talking about how the Rapids haven't won a game in league play at BMO Field in Toronto. At BMO Field they've been pretty damn bad though.…

What more can be said about that Dallas game? I already made the analogy to the origami swan when I said that the team folds whenever adversity comes their way, but honestly looking at things the Dallas match was just another 2012 Rapids game.

Wait, what do you mean I have to pad this out to 150 words? Damnit. Well, the Rapids showed once again that when faced with any kind of adversity at all, they fold like an origami swan in a hurricane. They once again had a solid first half but couldn't close any deals, so the…

Yep, only 19 more years before we can drink legally! Considering how this season is going, we're going to need a drink or two around here soon. Anyway, just over two years ago I started writing Rapids updates for SB Nation Denver and was eventually approached to start writing a Rapids blog for SB Nation.…
