What's that you say? The Rapids won a game? The Rapids won a game in a solid manner, even? Well, I never! Listen to this week's Thugcast to hear Ben and myself chat about: Happy Fourth of July, everyone! Clicky the piccy down there:

It goes without saying that Colorado can't be having another result like that against the team only four points ahead of them in the table. Here's three keys for the Rapids if they want to get out of July 4th with not only a festive fireworks show to be thankful for… Casey/Cummings – The super…

You knew it was coming, and it's going to keep on coming until the Rapids start stinking up their appearances on July 4th. As you might have heard (you have heard) the Rapids are wonderful all time on our nation's birthday, with a 11-2-3 all time record. Oh yeah, and there will be fireworks. There…

They grabbed the ball right from the outset and never let go, having seemingly…

SF: Well, for Lovel Palmer, his being suspended will give somebody more worthy a chance on the bench and not allow him to seriously screw it up. He was reckless last Sunday against Seattle. There was no need for the elbow and his only other contribution was a worthless shot from 30 yards away that…

Colorado needs to put those two last games behind them as they head toward another six pointer, this time against the Portland Timbers. The Rapids won both games last season against the Timbers, but both teams seem to have lost some of their 2011 punch so there's no telling what will happen in their first…

Naturally, losing three players ahead of a big match means it's time to pull out the ol' Scott Palguta Depth meter. For the uninitiated, the Palguta depth meter measures just how close we are to seeing below replacement-level players like Scott Palguta hit the field as a starter. One Palguta head is ideal, as it…
