LaBauex was always ineffective in his time on the team, though I felt he had time to grow as a utility man in the midfield, and Amarikwa had often been ineffective for the Rapids. His single goal this year, though it was a pretty one, tied his highest ever scoring numbers for a season. Clearly,…

It's actually looked pretty good with the new front office in place, though. The whole One Club mantra, openness on social media to fans and a lot of good looking moves in the coaching staff and otherwise have made it a pretty pleasant year to be a Rapids fan, past the obvious speed bumps on…

Yes, because you haven't heard nearly enough of this Oscar Pareja vs. Gary Smith crap already, right? Apparently Ben and I haven't, because this week's Thugcast is the longest one so far. Trust me, that's a good thing. Maybe. I hope. Tune in to hear Ben and I talk about: Clicky da linky picture to…

We all know about the advantages of playing in sunny Colorado when it comes to sport. The altitude of 5280 feet tends to exhaust opposing athletes who aren't used to playing this high above sea level, which gives a slight geographical advantage.

If a week of rest gets him back to 100% or at least close, we'll have a much easier time of things against a tough offense from Portland. And if he's not back to full health by then? Well, at least he's still better than Palguta.

Fakers Stink said it pretty well in that comments section; "Rapids need to focus on developing talent or getting developing talent in the…

Nobody ever said that Major League Soccer was an easy league to win, and part of the reason why is that a simple small run of form, good or bad, can either slide you right into the thick of the playoff race or make you forgotten. Colorado's two game slide in the last week against…

There's been a lot of talk in recent weeks about Italian legend Alessandro Nesta, who plied his trade for AC Milan and the Italian National Team for years upon years and had said a while back that he was interested in Major League Soccer. You may have noticed, he's not in Major League Soccer right…
