What just froze over?

Okay, so losing to the Rapids in the thin air of Colorado shouldn't be deemed an embarrassment, but it's still irksome.

Dynamo lost to the Rapids last night, 1-0, for the first time. Ever. That keeps us a good 5 points behind FCD, and brings Colorado to within 3. Yes, one win can bring the Rapids equal to Dynamo. That is not an accurate appraisal of the two team's equivalence. The Rapids are not in our league ... quality-speaking of course.

The game wasn't televised, so I couldn't watch it and I can't speak to the flow of the game. The stats seem to indicate that Dynamo more than held its own. We had 13 shots (to their 8) with 5 on goal (to their 2). Apparently Joe Cannon made some spectacular saves.

But there's another stat that could hold some weight: we had only 3 corners to their 8. Does that mean that Colorado may not have had as many bona fide shots on goal, but they had several dangerous passes and crosses that had to be knocked out by us? If so, then perhaps we were a bit more porous on defense than the S/SOG data would indicate.

Let's just forget the numbers and solve all problems by starting a winning streak, beginning with NY Red Bull this Saturday. My family and I will be there. We won tickets at Griff's the other night during Glenn Davis' recording of the "Dynamo Power Hour." The seats are horrible, but the price is right. Go Dynamo; beat the Soft Drinks.
