A sign of the apocalypse?

A Fire fan over at Bigsoccer discovered something rather alarming on a recent visit to Toyota Park.

I walked past all the no trespassing signs to check out the condition of our beloved reserve game/practice field and I saw something interesting out on the pitch……..

After further deliberation and a couple of stones thrown in the direction of the object we found out that not only was it a large bird (a goose) that was laying down on its side, it was DEAD……

Considering that dead birds are often the signs of impending doom, I googled “dead goose omen” with some trepidation, fearing I might find it would say the Fire were about to sign the antichrist (just kidding, Cuate) or something. Instead I just learned that “The colour of the breastbone of a cooked Goose can be used to predict the weather for next year.” No word on whether the Fire fan took the goose and cooked it or not.

In other “news”, a Brazilian is on a six-day trial with the Fire, about whom I know even less than dead bird omens.
