Fraser with 3 attacking subs in the final 30 or so minutes. Not looking for a tie, not looking to bunker, looking to keep the attack going for the rest of the game. BOOM! -Namli with flashes of doing "his thing" -Kamara making his presence and effectiveness known... still. -Drew Moor can still hang (2 attempts on goal... with his head of course). -Abubaker making his case for defender of the year -Vines making *his* case for the same -Fraser's tactics for keeping pressure on with the attack pay off.

More like a soccer version of corned beef hash but we'll take it. When was the last time we had a 3 ppg average?
ha! I was listening to the radio in between games at the Rapids Icebreaker Tournament and all I heard was a scream of joy and that it was pure madness in the box for the Lewis winner. I let off a “hell yeah” scream and fist pump. The family in the car next to me had the “WTF is that guy doing?” look to them.

The whole sequence leading to the game winner: Final 4 mins of the game the Rapids pressed the hell out of D.C., never let the hosts cross the midfield stripe. Won the ball back 5 times, and not once did they settle for hopeful long-balls. Tried to build every time, including on the game-winner. pic.twitter.com/AursDKRayx— Matthew Doyle (@MattDoyle76) February 29, 2020

Man, I live Drew's attention to the fans. Seriously, it makes a big difference. Can't wait to see them live next weekend!
I had this odd hallucination that the Rapids will be a good team, then the dream continued and they won a *road* game, wow.....anyone know a good psychiatrist? R

I had a fun day watching baseball, and then logged on here and read through the thread for the result and comments. That was far more enjoyable than enduring the gyrations needed to find a way to watch the Rapids. EDIT: It also wasn't hard to avoid the score. None of the games I watched showed the score.
I love corned beef hash. (My cholesterol, not so much.) Honestly, this is exactly the type of game we’ve watched the Rapids lose in the past few years. The soul killers. The ones where we try to console ourselves on this website with sarcasm and self-deprecating humor. Oh my, this way is better.
Ready to head home and grab three more points! Hear from @keikamara on tonight's EPIC win 📢👇#Rapids96— Colorado Rapids (@ColoradoRapids) March 1, 2020
