    Well, every game is, essentially, a final from now until the end of the season.

    Watch on the World Wide Network that is ESPN+.

    The Fire have the advantage of playing a team even crappier the Fire.

    The Fire need "all hands on deck"
    Katai is back after his two game suspension.
    Calvo will be available as he leaves the next day for the Costa Rican National Team.

    A win and the Fire leapfrog Orlando up to the lofty heights of 8th (still out of the playoff hunt and still chasing teams that have games in hand).
    A draw does absolutely nothing, but means the season will be essentially over.
    A loss would leave the Fire tied with Columbus as second bottom of the East and goodbye 2019 for real.

    4 of 5 will probably do it. Also, winning Powerball will probably let me retire.

    This team only wins so that it can subsequently let you down again.

    This.

    The Fire have won a single away game all season.

    Of course, they win tonight, just to screw with all od us a little more and prolong out agony a little lomger.

  8. Probably let you retire? Yeah, with your high maintenance costs it's only probably.

    Kick off. I am listening to Randy Rainbow song parodies, as opposed to Danhole Kelly and "Frankie".

    I have been away from Randy Rainbow's videos for a couple of months, so there are a number of me to catch up on tonight.

    My all-time favorite:

    According to the closed captioning, Danhole just told Paunovic: "Good start by you guys!"

    Umm, the Fire are losing, Danhole.

    Milhailovic NOT in the starting 11 (must have not practiced cheerfully), so our dumbass will bring him in around the 65th minute (that's not the dumbass move), that dumbass move is that it will be for Niko or Katai or Gaitan or Frankowski.

    Be back in an hour to see how this ended......

    Gaitan absolutely skies a terrific set up from Katai.

    If it had been Nikolic, people would be demanding his benching or screaming for him to be traded.

    Frankowski scores in the 94th minute to prolong the Fire's misery.


    Calm down, Danhole and "frankie," a tie does virtually nothing for the Fire.
    Stop it.

    This is not the Fire "coming out with a point." It is Cowlumbus dropping two points, to keep the Fire ahead of them.

    Big deal.
