The Goat Express arrives @ 1pm Tomorrow!
This goat is starting to smell like an on-rushing locomotive!
We all know that the Goat Express has done a number on us this year. Which is to say that they have gone #2 on us. Yep, with a 2-0 loss behind us and a two-game possible shellacking to look forward to, Rapids fans have a reason to Fear The Goat.
In the Goat's six games in August and September, they have scored like a cute frat boy at the Eta Beta Pi sorority house. 14 Goaty Goals sunk with only two scored against them (by the best team in MLS), resulting in one measly tie in this 5-0-1 running of the bulls, errr, goats.
Damn. We may have to think of a new nickname for the Goats. I'm not sure that "Free Points" remains a good name for this four-legged critter.
We all know goats are bitter, mean, and ugly creatures. But why so dangerous?
Ante Razov. He actually scored (hell, he actually *used*) his right foot! Unbelievable. You should have seen the look on Cannon's face when THAT one went by him.
Maykel Galindo. First, I lied. I didn't remove him from my Fantasy team. And I'm glad I did. So there. That guy reminds me of a couple of Cubans that used to play for the Rapids... until he gets in front of goal. Pure composure.
What's worse? Hello-o-o-o-?!? Haven't you been listening? The Goaty defense has allowed 2 goals in the last 6 games. Wow. With "El Guzano" the white boy in the back and Jesse "Kick You" Marsch holding the mid, it's going to be a tough go of it down the middle.
I suggest we use a strong defense including Dan Gargan and Greg Vanney in the back, everybody's favorite Kyle Beckerman anchoring defense in the mid, and Hercules Gomez and Roberto Brown up front.
If they're not available for some reason? I say we drop back 20 and punt.
