On 10/07, Dynamo go to Salt Lake and see Dalglish get his first goal of the season, but Dynamo couldn't hold onto the lead, and end up tying RSL (who doesn't make the post-season) 1-1.
On 10/14, Dynamo hosts Colorado and the goals are piled up...unfortunately in equal amounts for both teams. Dynamo starts off strong, with Waibel scoring off a corner in the 2nd minute. Colorado ties it up in the 21st minute. Dalglish scores his second goal in as many games just before halftime. Colorado ties it up 10 minutes into the second half. Waibel -- on fire -- scores a late goal that should be the winner, but we let in the equalizer with two minutes left in regulation. Yes, the win wouldn't have mattered. Yes, we were resting many starters. But also: Yes, we have established a pattern of getting by with ties, of not being able to defend our leads or to completely run away with the game. Dynamo have dominated too many games that ended in draws (and a couple, losses). 11 wins and 13 ties...plus the 8 losses. That's not a particularly impressive record for such a dynamic team.
Hopefully this pattern is not revisited during the MLS Cup tourney, which begins next weekend vs. Chivas.
