Burgundy Wave: Covering Colorado Soccer since July 2010.

Him being let go wasn't necessarily the troubling part, though I am a bit sad since Chris is a great guy and was a fantastic beat guy for the team for years. The troubling part is that he seemed to imply that it was the Rapids themselves who forced the league's hand in firing him.…

I will reiterate: lol.

Remember when Marvell Wynne started that match for the Colorado Rapids at center back after they had spent like a month trying to get, and succeeding at getting, Zat Knight onto the squad?

The idea here is that when your expectations are that low, great things can still happen. In this particular case, the Rapids blew another late-match lead, but actually did quite well during the match on the whole. Not that it helped anything, but at this point progress is progress, amirite? I am not rite, I've…

Fortunately, it looks like we'll be back in business with the status quo come Saturday. Thank goodness. Let's hope Pablo takes this as one of many lessons he can take about man management this season: Tossing shit at a wall to see what sticks is not a particularly good system.
