How’s That DP Slot Treating You, DC?
By: Kyle |Sometimes I think people talk about sports by saying really simple things in an overcomplicated way. For example: the Rapids game versus United on Sunday really comes down to which team shows up. In most of their games, the Rapids proved to be a formidable club capable of scoring a lot of goals. [...]
Rapids wird eines Spiel mit Deutche Fussballverein Borussia Mönchengladbach Plannen
By: Kyle |That’s the best I’ve got. I took German for three years and barely passed, so that’s as close as I can come to happily informing you that the Rapids are finally jumping in on the MLS tradition of hosting major foreign clubs on their preseason tours in friendly matches. Nice catch by wewantrapidman [...]
Colorado Rapids 0-2 San Jose Earthquakes
By: Kyle |I don’t know who it was that wore the burgundy at Dick’s on Saturday, but it wasn’t the 2008 Colorado Rapids. The 2008 Rapids dominate the midfield. The Rapids that took the field Saturday were beat in near every significant midfield battle of the night. To be honest, it looked like we [...]
Enter the New Guy
By: Kyle |I’m not making this up: I was going to use the Admiral Stockdale joke to introduce myself, too. Until I saw that Jeff already used it (But, I can link to the youtube clip. If you get through Quayle and Gore, Stockdale’s speech should give you a good belly laugh).
Hi. My name [...]
Mind the Gap: Rapids News Between Week 2 & 3
By: Jeff |Like the name for the feature? I was leaning toward a title of “Busted Knees and Broken, Happy Hearts,” but thought I’d explain the concept behind the name for these Wednesday posts.
I rolled out my (half-blind, hence limited) thoughts on the Colorado Rapids tough loss to April’s Major League Soccer (MLS) flavor-of-the-month, the Kansas [...]
MLSLIVE.tv Owes Me $0.50; Tough Loss in a Weird Venue, Yeah?
By: Jeff |So, there I am, watching the clock through my (soon-to-be) 10-year-old’s birthday party, figuring I can just wait for the archived footage of the Kansas City Wizards v. Colorado Rapids. While they’re downstairs watching Little Miss Sunshine, it’s about 10:30 p.m. and I’m looking for the video feed. No luck. 11:00 p.m. [...]
Post-Game Musings, My Essential Educability and the Extent to Which I’m Useful
By: Jeff |I think I have a plan now: barring too much ____ I will post three times a week - before the game, after the game, and, once a week, I’ll probably post something like what appears below - e.g. a big check-up on all the Rapids news I can find. I’ve been doing a [...]
The Rapids: Views from All Over on the Day Before + A Signing
By: Jeff |With the season starting tomorrow (yippee!), I feel like there’s something I should mention: I don’t do predictions. A fitful history of blown calls - often very bad misses - argues against. As for previews, I’m happy to pass on breaking details like injuries (see Class VI’s interview with Fernando Clavijo for the [...]
Feeling All Right, Rapids Fans? Wait…It’ll Change…
By: Jeff |Now, I really hate to do this, but I’m reading what I’m reading. The most for which you can hold me accountable is what I’m reading into things. Here goes…
- Remember that somewhat recent loss to the Bermudan National Team (no? Here ya go!)? If that loss didn’t leave you feeling [...]
A Rapids Win…done quick
By: Jeff |(Dang it! Wrong Stephen Keel! Sorry to be brief, but life is attacking me right now…not much time…)
Looks like the Colorado Rapids ended their pre-season on a high in the lower part of our fair nation: they beat the Chicago Fire 1-0 on a goal scored by Stephen Keel. And, to [...]
