    Six teams that can't finish below us.

    1.Atlanta
    2.NYRB
    3.NYCFC
    4.F*C* Dallas
    5.LAFC
    6.Kansas City

    With a possible of another 6 teams after next weeks games

    Playoff elimination number remains at 9, could be lowered to 3 after next weeks games.

    The odds continue to get tighter:

    Playoffs- .04%
    Wooden Spoon- 9.7%

    W-D-L
    7-0-0 = 66.6% chance at playoffs
    6-1-0 = 24.5% chance at playoffs
    0-3-4 = 51.6% chance at WS
    1-0-6 = 41.3% chance at WS

    The combined odds for the Fire to make the playoffs or win wooden spoon are under 10%. Have the last 7 games of a season ever been this boring?

    On an unrelated note, nobody is buying my tickets for Sunday's game. What gives?

    Actually, we don't know. There's a hurricane that's gonna hit NC's area on Saturday, so they're trying to figure out when it'll be.

    Donate them to the county jail, forcing an inmate to go could be seen as crime prevention

    It will be very tough to beat out sj for the wooden spoon and the #1 draft choice but I have faith in the fire.

    The good news: We probably won’t win the spoon

    The bad news: ownership will hold up the fact that we aren’t the worst team in the league as proof that we are all wrong to complain

    You have called the beast by its NAME, and therefore doomed us ALL. Fkucers can't even tank it properly.

    Ahh well, wasn't like I planned to resume being a STH for this shyteshow.

    That week really hurt our chances:

    Playoffs- .03%
    Wooden Spoon- 1.1%

    W-D-L
    6-0-0 = 54.0% chance at playoffs
    5-1-0 = 10.6% chance at playoffs
    0-0-6 = 19.2% chance at WS
    0-1-5 = 9.6% chance at WS

    The combined odds for the Fire to make the playoffs or win wooden spoon are barely 1%. A perfect record barely gets the Fire a 50/50 shot at the playoffs and a perfectly bad record gives them 1 in 5 chance at the spoon. 6 pointless games to go.

    Possibly another 5 teams after this weekend. Oh we could possibly be eliminated from the playoffs, officially (With a Montreal beating NYCFC and we lose to New England).

    I was browsing the official MLS shop to see if the Fire had a fashionable men's hoodie (they usually have one good looking one at a time, the rest are trash) and came across this gem.

    I laughed for a good 5 min.

    Hysterical AND delusional, that is awesome.

    When the Fire are "officially" out of the playoffs, that is their chances of making in fall to 0, can we "tell them the odds"?
