Yeah, baby … yeah!

By: Sean | May 3rd, 2008

In a parity league, it’s good to be the best above-average team.

MLS is all about parity, as they attempt to learn from the NASL. (Ever notice how the money men take the crudest lessons? Would it be too much to say “growing the sport entire should be the primary focus” as an adjunct to “a rising tide raises all boats”? Ehh well.)

The Fire are neither the best team in the league - that’d be the Crew, who’ve collected 15 points out of 18 - nor the worst. They’re the best of the rest, which is where to be at this point of the season, imo. They’ve only had one ridiculous anomaly to start the season: Thorrington has been healthy and exceptional.

Anyway, I’m encouraged. I’d love to go into greater detail, but my wife just challenged me to avoid ‘mak[ing] me punk you out’ on Rock Band. My manhood requires I respond. I hope you understand …

    I would beg to differ, the Fire is on Fire. Columbus is the exception. They will get beat when we play them, and further more I know they will not maintain this pace, it is very early. We the Fire have been winning since last year. So I think we are seeing an emergance of new scorers as well as good veterans. Mark my words the Fire will get a lot better and the crew will sink!
