Post-match: CORPORATE RIVALRY ALERT! MLS MATCHDAY 3 CREW VS MORONTO CF SATURDAY MARCH 12 1:30PM

Faltered? FALTERED??????

They folded like a cheap card table. They went down like a bus station whore whose rent is a week late. They laid down like a small town prom date. Collapsed like a wet. ardboard box. It was a disgraceful display of ineptitude, cowardice and perfidy. One of the darkest days in Crew history, a black stain on the soul of every fan that cannot be erased.

They'd better come out pissed off and looking for blood. I want to see some legs broken, teeth on the ground and the stretcher squad calling for backup. None of this posession crapola. Show that they have hangy-down man things or change the name to.the Crew-ettes.

 

You forgot to put "Canadian Win (or Gordon Gee win, YMMV)" after "Draw"....

 

I think we will win

 

Mid 50s on Friday.
Mid 30s on Saturday. Apparently, there could even be some snow for the tailgate.

Because why the hell not, Ohio?

 

Because it's March, Peter.

I've seen snow in mid-May here. March is still winter for three weeks. March tends to be volatile. It always has. This is not new.

 

I don’t think there’s a Megatailgate next weekend, if that’s the ‘tailgate’ you were referring to.

 

Crew suck

Go Crew!

 

I read it like the opening crawl to Star Wars. Less shouting, more grand.


Episode III.

 

I've been going to Opening Day in Cincy for over 30 years (though I've missed the last couple due to COVID). That's always right around March 31 =/- a couple of days. And we've seen everything from 85 and sunny to high 20s and a snow delay (plus an ump dying on the field). That's Ohio. And the year the season opened in early May due to a strike, I remember it being below freezing--to the point where at the end of the game the pitches Curt Schilling threw were all strikes, as the umps didn't want to be out in it either....

Then there was the April blizzard that put over a foot of snow in eastern Ohio after it had been in the 70's the weekend before (and hit the 70s the weekend after). Had friends get stuck out at Salt Fork SP.

 

"The Weather Strikes Back"

 

Why not, I thought they had their new Grandview spot long term for Megatailgates?

Not sure what that means for March 12, but there won't be a Megatailgate. FWIW, the initial announcements about this new tailgate set-up failed to mention the schedule, which I thought was kinda dumb. I assume a lot of fans assume there will be one on 3/12.

 

We will be flirting with significant (4-7 inches) snow Friday night into Saturday morning. Weather models this far out will change, but it will be cold.

 

Grandview only suspended the open-container laws that allow the MegaTailgate to function for certain dates and times.

 

They should have some of these things at every game.

 

Family Day in 20 degree temps!!!

 

Even if we had somehow gotten lucky and had a 70 degree day like last Saturday...it's winter....you planned Family Day with the Crew during winter. Nothing screams funnel cake fries and cotton candy like being outdoors in early March with the family.

 

Ima gonna hafta score some of that Yellow Cotton Candy, (...for my girls.)

 

I want to mention that we have an extremely experienced team and us giving up 2 late goals to a 10 man side is inexcusable. You might see that happen with a super young and inexperience side but one of the "benefits" of an older team is that stuff shouldn't happen.

They better lock it down this weekend.

 

They used to have a dribble/pass/score setup, an inflatable obstacle course and a thing to essentially do "target practice" on a goal.

It all disappeared about 2013 or so.

But you're absolutely right. Part of the reason for the playground at HCS was because kids were running up and down the aisles. The mini-field also served a double-purpose.

Too bad they couldn't have figured out a way to move some of that stuff.

 

Exactly. What was wrong with May or June?
