Pablo is one of those guys that you hate on the other team, but know deep down (even if you won't admit it) that he would be one of your favorites should he wear your crest. In fact, a certain guy named Kyle Beckerman is exact proof of this. The collision he had with Olave, that started this, was nothing malicious. That part makes it suck even more, I guess, as it was just a part of the game that knocked him out. Best of luck to him as a coach. Just don't accept any more photo shoots in weird ass clothing...
Beckerman? That little punk-a$$ #$@@$ @$%@, if he ever wore Rapids colors... ...oh, wait, I get your point.
Pablo just "called" all season ticket holders to inform them he's signed a new contract for 2013. Here's the official announcement that the Rapids allowed Mile High Sports to break at pretty much the same moment the phone calls went out. http://milehighsports.com/2012/12/06/sources-rapids-pablo-mastroeni-to-return-in-2013/ Good to see that he's recovered to the point where he and the team feel confident in his ability to play next year.
