Well, as I posted on BigSoccer a few days ago (in a fit of rage), I'm going to start updating this
again. Hopefully I can keep it up for longer this time. The focus will shift slightly, however, due
to the increased coverage of MLS, as well as the fact that Shawn Mitchell of the Dispatch now has
his own Crew blog (coupled with the fact that I won't be attending many Crew games this yeaer).

Firstly, my apologies to all for not having updated before now. I have a (relatively long) story
and rant to go through, so if you want to skip my personal anecdotes, go ahead and scroll right on
down to the match analysis (I promise I won't be offended).
A little background before I get started on my rambling. I work at a restaurant in Yellow Springs,
Ohio, and, unfortunately, I always work on Saturday nights.

The Crew game against the Rapids on Wednesday was possibly the biggest waste of two hours of my
life since I went to see Panic Room a few years ago. The play from both teams was uninspiring to
say the least, with almost no highlight-reel near misses or otherwise dramatic action. Were it not
for the in-game thread on BigSoccer, I probably would've fallen asleep watching it.

The Crew now enter into what is really the easiest part of their schedule. The three teams that the
Crew play before the All-Star break combine for a 9-18-13 record. The only one of those teams that
has won in the last few weeks is RSL, and we all know how terrible they are. This is a crucial time
for the Crew, with some easy points on the horizon, and a real chance to climb up the standings.

Hey folks,
Let me start out by apologizing for not updating again as promised this past week. Things have been
a little hectic, but after this weekend, my schedule evens out, and I will have literally more time
on my hands than I know what to do with - depending on my work schedule, I will most likely have
time to attend a practice or two in the coming weeks and do my best Walt Wheeler impression (no
encroachment on your readership intended, friends at HPI!

Two words have not been uttered in Columbus in rapid succession for quite some time. Those two
words? Winning and streak. Don't look now, but now the Crew are unbeaten in three matches, and have
won their last two. In those last three games, the Crew have fought back from a deficit, and
overcome a one-man disadvantage to win the game anyway. It seems the Crew have fought through their
funk to gain a winning mentality, and have used that to play with true heart on the field.

As promised, here is my latest entry, where I will discuss the Crew's goalkeeping situation, and
look at the upcoming LA game.
Everyone seems to have a very strong opinion about who should be between the pipes for the Crew.
Some people think it should be Andy Gruenebaum. A lot of people believe that Hesmer is better than
the Hebrew Hammer.

I guess I picked a good time to start writing about the Crew. I now find myself in the very foreign
position of having to analyze a win (not that I'm complaining). Much has been made of how the Crew
have built on their comeback tie at New England to produce this much-needed home victory. I'm not
so sure that I believe the hype, but I still find myself optimistic (this is the Crew we're talking
about though; the team that builds up your hopes every now and then so that it can smash them to
bits the next game).

Greetings, fellow tortured Crew fans. Because of a seemingly lack of internet blogs about the Crew,
coupled with my own journalistic desires, I have decided to start my own Crew blog, where I can
spout off my (however misguided) opinions. Here's what I have in mind for this blog: I don't intend
to write match reports. Go to the Crew's website for that, or read the recap in the Dispatch.
