The sky seemed bluer, the sunshine sunshiner, the air all the crispier. It's amazing how a Colorado Rapids victory, one that came after five straight losses leaving our boys in the basement of the Western Conference, and one of such convincing fashion, can give our supporter base some hope.
Hope. That's something up until Saturday that was in the shortest of supplies. But the hope-o-meter went up a few thousand degrees for many supporters after the 3-0 Rapids win against the San Jose Earthquakes. The Quakes had only lost twice in the last 13 games played at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
