Congratulations, Columbus Crew, 2009 Supporters Shield winners.

The tough are apparently getting going. Remember when the season started, and the Crew neglected to beat anyone until May? Remember when the Crew ran into a Mexican cement truck at the end of August, then made a starring role in Richie Williams' audition tape?

The Crew's September schedule consisted of the other three top MLS teams, Cruz Azul, and Saprissa.
