Shhhh! That wasn't a mascot. That was the MLS match evaluator, carefully observing Bazooka Fist's officiating to determine his "empathy."
It would also help if you were quicker; then the big guy has to overcommit to try to put a body on you and he'll be off-balance.
My sentiments exactly. When Ramirez found Powers in the first half it sure looked like the Rapids were going to be on the board. Over the last three matches it's been the inability of the Rapids to finish that has been the problem. Not the effort, not the attitude, or even, in general tactics. There have been enough decent chances created in these matches for them to have won a number of times.
