    In case anyone was wondering, Chicago just spent that $6m on Torres - an up and coming 21 year old forward from Liga MX. Pretty sure almost every team in the league bought/signed strikers/forwards in the last two windows

    But hasn't this always been the Rapids pattern--get a good team that's within a couple players of competing for a championship, then sell off the best pieces before descending down into years of suck. As this team stands now, they're deluding themselves if they think they're anything better than lucky to make the playoffs. The Rapids will have serious problems scoring this year and other teams will know how to take advantage of that. But you know who must really be feeling stupid now? Robin Fraser. The guy could have been coaching a rebuilt Toronto. Instead he will be trying to perform miracles with little to no support from his front office. I predict he will be gone within two seasons.

    Yeah... I can't imagine that a coach loves being at a "moneyball" team. It's a good way to prove your coaching chops but then you move onto better things.

    Minnesota just signed another DP forward, too...

    The more the Rapids change, they still stay the same in some regards. ;)

    I know this thread isn't for tech support, but my tech question is Rapids related - On my iPhone this season's calendar hasn't updated. All the settings seem to be right. Any thoughts?
