    IF we get into the playoffs at the #3 or #4 spot, we will host during the yearly horse show. Crew parking will be limited to the VIP lots and the lots east and west of the stadium. Shuttle options are being explored.

    Needless to say, fan reaction has been interesting to watch. Almost immediately it went from doom-and-gloom about the season to how terrible this situation is.

    I think the POs are a longshot and #3 or #4 extremely implausible. Toronto, Chicago, City, Red Bull, and Atlanta are all considerably better than us. And we play Orlando away twice. That's the ballgame there.

    Perhaps a rejuvenated Pipa & Santos spark us.

    Like I said, the fan reaction has been amusing. It went from "sack everyone" to "this is a horrible situation and the horse show needs to leave us and our rapidly-disappearing cowtown image immediately" almost instantly.

    Just checked sportsclubstats, and they show only a 4% chance that the Crew will finish 3rd or 4th. And frankly even that seems high.

    So why would the Crew even post this? It's likely to be a non-issue, and it's only served to stir up mockery. Just trying to trick some fans into thinking we might finish that high? Secure your playoff tickets now?

    (Perhaps a small shot at the current stadium location, in advance of a future hoped-for move?)

    Back when I was dating Adriana Lima, she and I had enormous problems juggling our respective cosmopolitan, jet-setting schedules, so we ended up calling it quits. We're still friends though.

    Because if they didn't, there'd be gnashing of teeth the likes of which haven't been seen before.
