Re: The (playoff race) Countdown If we beat RSL we will be 5 points clear of 4th place with 3 games to play, a very good position to be in. Of course if we pull a Mets we could be right back to 4th.
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown It just wouldn't be the same if the Bulls last home game vs. KC didn't mean something... Don't get me wrong I am definitely not hoping for that... Hopefully by the time we play KC we will be way ahead of them and already in the playoffs.
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown Not exactly pulling a Mets; but so much for clinching this weekend. Roll on Toronto FC.
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown [R] Now that you mention it, I have absolutely no idea. But it wouldn't shock me if it was true. I was rolling. You know how that is.
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown Well Columbus & Colorado lost this weekend. I think they need two more points to officially clinch, so winning in Toronto should do it.
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown [R] Yeah, yeah. Germans in Pearl Harbor. I get it. I have to believe that a playoff is considered a tournament, and that everyone starts with a clean sheet (except Kevin Hartman, who wouldn't know what a clean sheet is...)
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown Will be a METZ horse shit if we don't make it now, but them again, the METZ did it....they collapsed...and Untill we don't have 41 points, we are in a limbo state of all shits....
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown For every Mets there has to be a Phillies, and neither Columbus nor Chicago nor Colorado fit that description.
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown We are Red Bull; Toronto is the China shop. We get 3 points; they get to pick up the pieces. Who's next? -- a word from my sponsor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xNJU-jc8qg
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown well unfortunately it didnt happen--we didint even tie, we lost to Toronto FC. What is the absolute worst case scenario? Could we be out if we lose our next two games and other teams make up ground? Or are we assured of at least the final seed no matter what?
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown Damn it! A loss to the worst team in the league? We shouldn't even bother making the playoffs.
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown We win one of the next two, we're in. I think If KC beat DC this week, it really puts the screws to RB for a win in the last home game on 10/13.
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown The worst case scenario is obviously missing the playoffs entirely. However, they can still clinch while sitting on the couch this wekend with both: -Columbus draw or loss -LA Galaxy draw or loss
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown The nine team on the list is Columbus with 33 points plus three games to play, a probability of 40 points in total if they win this three games, to 39 points of the Re Bulls... But If today Columbus don't win (only a win) Red Bulls are in the Play Off
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown Columbus have 31 points with 3 to play, so right now their max is 40. If they were to draw, they'd have 32 with 2 to play, making a max of 38. LA have a max of 38 and could beat the Red Bulls on goal differential, especially since that scenario would mean LAG are going to win 4 games and the Red Bulls would lose two.
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown LAG and Columbus are only one (1) game away, any of them loose a game or the Red Bulls win one and we are free...
Re: The (playoff race) Countdown Yes... we're circling back to what I sad a few posts ago. If Columbus AND LA Galaxy BOTH don't win this weekend, Red Bulls are in.
