Post-match: DECISION DAY! SEASON FINALE MLS MATCHDAY 34 CREW VS FY-URE SUNDAY NOVEMBER 7th 3:30pm

WhiteHartShame · Nov 4, 2021

So, is Big-J-0526 going to add Crew score 7 or more, get a shutout, and advance to the playoffs as a grouchy point option?

OzweegoSC · Nov 4, 2021

We win 4-0...they lose 3-0......game on!!

So, here we are. Porter knows the odds. He knew back in June that we had a 20:1 chance of winning the Cup. He knew those odds were no good and proceeded to poof a majority of the season to turn the odds around in our favor. We now have a million-to-one chance, but it might just work. I just hope Porter didn't come up short in his math and we're only looking at a 1:995,351 chance of winning the Cup.

P.S. -- I haven't been day drinking. I figure if this logic works for a British Knight, it is good enough for us.

This sounds like a job for the Infinite Improbability Drive!

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy said: ↑

The Infinite Improbability Drive was a wonderful new method of crossing interstellar distances in a mere nothingth of a second, without "tedious mucking about in hyperspace." As soon as the drive reaches infinite Improbability, it passes through every conceivable point in every conceivable universe simultaneously. An incredible range of highly improbable things can happen due to these effects.

The principle of generating small amounts of finite improbability by simply hooking logic circuits to an atomic vector plotter suspended in a strong Brownian Motion producer (say a nice hot cup of tea) were well understood. It is said, by the Guide, that such generators were often used to break the ice at parties by making all the molecules in the hostess's undergarments leap simultaneously one foot to the left, in accordance with the theory of indeterminacy.

Many respectable physicists said that they weren't going to stand for this, partly because it was a debasement of science, but mostly because they didn't get invited to those sorts of parties.

Then, one day, a student who had been left to sweep up after a particularly unsuccessful party found himself reasoning in this way: If, he thought to himself, such a machine is a virtual impossibility, it must have finite improbability. So all I have to do in order to make one is to work out how exactly improbable it is, feed that figure into the finite improbability generator, give it a fresh cup of really hot tea... and turn it on!

He did this and managed to create the long sought after golden Infinite Improbability generator out of thin air. Unfortunately, after he was awarded the Galactic Institute's Prize for Extreme Cleverness he was lynched by a rampaging mob of respectable physicists who couldn't stand him being "a smart arse."

Coupe · Nov 4, 2021

So, we can expect lots of shots this week?

TyphonInc · Nov 5, 2021

Actually, with the now add d pressure of not just winning, but winning by 7, I want to change my vote to look see by 2.

you know, i was thinking about doing a even more crazy special option, something along the lines of:

End of Season Super Special (see below in the post, worth 25 points)

END OF SEASON SUPER SPECIAL:

CREW WIN 7-0
CREW QUALIFY FOR PLAYOFFS
CREW HAVE 25+ SHOTS
CREW HAVE 6+ CORNERS
CREW GOALS ARE SCORED BY: LUCAS (2), MEGABUS (2), PEDRO (1), NAGBE (1), WILLIAMS (1).
JOSH WILLIAMS GOAL IS SCORED AFTER THE 90TH MINUTE.

SLSHOT01 · Nov 5, 2021

It will be interesting to see how they play with a really nothing to lose situation. Goal is to score bunches of goals.

Voted with heart for the poll

Expecting to see 0-0...

If we do somehow qualify for the playoffs... Sirk... if you are out there... Would this be the biggest odds overcome to qualify for the playoffs on decision day in league history?

Everyone knows you can't summon @Sirk just by saying his name. You've got to take your copy of "A Massive Season" to Progressive Field, go to the mound, and turn around seven times while chanting Guillermo.

And then send him a DM on Twitter.

#Crew96 coach Caleb Porter said Jonathan Mensah suffered a leg injury in training that will hold him out for tomorrow.

Not a serious injury. Said it'll keep him out a couple weeks.

Because, well, why the f*** not.

So….this makes how many training ground injuries this year?!?

TRUJDUB21 · Nov 7, 2021

Preseason starts in February? These guys will get 3 months rest. Let’s hope next year doesn’t have so many injuries. Maybe the lack of a off-season last year hurt us with a late finish to playoffs because of COVID

Regular season starts in February. Preseason probably starts on Boxing Day. Only slightly exaggerating.
