Tomorrow its on. Rapids - FSL with the Rocky Mountain Cup on the line! Need I say more?
OK, I will, but only because the tailgate is almost as impressive as the game. About 5 hours from
now the crack Class VI/Pid Army chefs will be arriving at the Dick to start the grill on the
biggest tailgate they've ever done, a full pig roast!
The undermanned Rapids played Fake Salt Lake even for 92 minutes. Then the refs got involved and
the Rapids were out-manned 15 to 11 which resulted in a 1-0 loss.
The weather was as bad as we've seen it in years, cold, wet, window, and snow at the end. This may
have been an equalizer for the teams as the Rapids were missing 3 starters (Casey, Mastroeni,
Wallace) and lost two more players to injury during the game (Amarikwa, Smith).
Its that time of year again! The Rapids make their way West to play FaKe SaLt LaKe. I shouldn't
need to remind anyone that on top of this being a big regular season match the Rocky Mountain cup
is at stake! Unfortunately the "geniuses" at MLS League HQ decided this rivalry wasn't important
enough and scheduled the game for a Wednesday night.
Our long national nightmare is over. The MLS schedule is out.
About a month before the beginning of the season, MLS finally released the entire schedule for
all 18 MLS teams. Previously, only each team's first home game was known, and some clubs like the
LA Galaxy got an early jump on releasing the schedule by leaking the dates and opponents of some
key matches.
