“Came to Score”
What did our beloved Claret and Cobalt do the evening of March, 10th? They did what they trained for. They did what they most wanted. They did what they are capable of. They “came to score” (The Aggrolites). —El Güero,…

Portland: Land of doughnuts, great food, forgotten tree stumps, roses, microbrews, the Trail Blazers, and of course the Timbers (who happens to be our final opponent of the regular season). I find many things interesting about Portland…

I can’t sleep. It’s not from the incessant tweets on my cell or my alpaca snoring . The calls are from the Rocky Mountain Cup (RMC). RMC, “That’s because you drive me,” (Acid House Kings). RSL Nation, the Rapids don’t deserve the Cup.…

Today, it’s MLS in 100 Words or Less . Why are they alienating fans faster than you can say, “Anbesol.” It’s a bad swing and, according to the majority of fans, an even greater miss. Did the USSF make them do it? This attempted…

Running onto the field to attack the refs should never be condoned. The problem is not just with the individual Wednesday at the RioT; security has to answer some questions. The Brian Wilson (the pitcher, not the Beach Boy) look alike…

Watching The Orphanage is what I felt like on the night of September 28: an emotional yo-yo covering happiness (player introductions), denial (the “he was provoked” Beckerman red card), anger (the “Hang Toledo” chants), bargaining (the…
