We walked into our season opener last night full of confidence, knowing that we, indeed, could beat Los Angeles. We'd done it before, but we need only look back to our final match of last season to prove that we'd have to work at it, and…
In arguably our best performance of the Desert Diamond Cup — a 1-0 consolation win (of course, they're all rather consolation matches in pre-season, aren't they?) over New York Red Bulls that saw a young midfield performing at the peak…
I sat in bed this morning wondering who to blame for last night's loss against New England Revolution. Not for very long, mind, and I do realize it's pointless. But that 2-1 ( I'd written 2-0 initially. Oh, bother. ) loss, while not…
A bit of a short one today as I've not properly seen the match. A stream which left something to be desired (though it was certainly a step up on the first match in the Desert Diamond Cup) and an internet connection that was more walrus…
After what seemed like years, not months, we've finally got our dose of the Claret and Cobalt with a 1-0 victory over a guest-filled New York Red Bulls. But guest or not, the fight, spirit, and creativity we've come to expect from our boys…

If you were to take our season, compress it into 90 minutes, shake it around a bit, and serve it up as a match, you'd have last night's snippy 1-1 draw with Portland on your hands. If ever I've seen a macrocosm of a season, this was it:…
It might not be the MLS Cup or the Supporters’ Shield, but for the fifth consecutive season, we hold in our hands the Rocky Mountain Cup after our 0-0 draw with those folks from Colorado. It wasn’t exactly pretty, and at times, it was…
