Must Win Game Tomorrow Night

Fraser and the Rapids won't say it, but tomorrow night is essentially a must win for our season.  Anything short of 3 points against the Galaxy and we'll have to play the rest of the season at a higher pace than we played all of last season.  Our July-September last year was that good, we would need to repeat it.  Kickoff for this crucial 6-pointer tomorrow night is at 7pm.  Note, I-70 Eastbound is closed this weekend so you'll need to keep that in mind if you're headed to the stadium.  if you're watching on TV, well, only 14 more blackout games to go.

Injury Report: 

OUT: M Ollie Larraz, M Jack Price

Rapids 2 played tonight and Vallecilla and Markanich started, so the backline is pretty set.  Beitashour started the last two games so I think he gets the rest and Rosenberry/Esteves go on the outside.  Priso gets his first start after Warner was less than impressive this week, and Lewis went 90 inboth games this week so he gets the break while Nicholson and Barrios start.  The play was probably to rest Zardes but you don't want to take him off after he found his scoring boots on Wednesday.

Prediction: 2-1 win, goals by Rubio and Barrios.  Mainly predicting a win because I don't want to see our season over in mid-July, but we haven't lost in the last 7 matches to the Galaxy.  At home, with no travel between games, I think we can edge this one before a tough road trip.
