One More Unto the Breech


Tomorrow night's match against San Jose is the last one before we finally get a full week of rest, can the Rapids summon up one last bit of reserve and find a win after so many losses?  Its going to be tough against a much healthier Earthquakes side that broke its road winless streak on Wednesday in Seattle.  Kickoff as always is at 7:30 and its looking like it will be wet for this one.  The announcers tomorrow night are Mark Rogondino and Heath Pearce in English and Oscar Salazar and Maximiliano Cordaro in Spanish.

Availability Report:
OUT: GK Abe Rodriguez (lower body injury, formerly ankle), M Max (unavailable), F Darren Yapi (U-20 World Cup), F Diego Rubio (upper body injury, formerly ankle)
QUESTIONABLE: Braian Galvan (lower body injury), M Ralph Priso (lower body injury), F Michael Barrios (lower body injury)

We get Cabral back from suspension but otherwise no change on the availability front.


Again I'm just trying to put a lineup together of 11 players who aren't hurt or unavailable.  Given work load issues I could have 10 or 5 of these guys right come tomorrow night.

Prediction: 1-1 draw goal by Rosenberry.  This feels a bit optimistic but one game does not make San Jose a good road team.  I don't seeing this beat up, tired, demoralized Rapids squad pulling out a win to finish the first half of the season, but they can get a point.
