‘Fire exist!’ and other hopeful signs
By: Sean | May 2nd, 2008Another week goes past, and once again I’ve seen virtually every moment of MLS action save the Fire. I’m beginning to suspect that I’m trapped in Philip K. Dick story – not one he could sell, mind, not even now that his used tissues could be optioned for the big screen. The Fire still are extant, right? This isn’t some kind of existential joke?
Anyway, word on the street is that John Thorrington finally, finally, finally staked a claim to the right midfield slot with a couple of goals in the second half. And the people said ‘Lawd, lawd, how long in the desert’ … or something.
This fact – combined with Chad Barrett’s rediscovery of his near-total Chad Barrett-ness, and Chris Rolfe’s soon-to-be-ready ankle – should finally see the Blanco-Frankowski-Rolfe triangle up front the Fire. Now that we’ve seen a bit from Frankowski, I’m guessing he and Rolfe will combine very well indeed.
So 10 points from the first five games is a decent start. It’d be nice to be where Columbus is right now, but the Fire could just as easily be further down the food chain. Blanco stole a point for us at Salt Lake, f’r’instance. May will be a tough month, especially the next two weeks, with road games at New England and D.C.
Next up is the Revs at Foxboro. More later. In any case, I’m just delighted the damned thing is on Direct Kick. Dale Fire!
