The Crew beat up Saturday night on the Chicago Fire, which, as fires go, is of the dumpster variety. The score was 3-0. The game had playoff implications if you were one to believe the Crew still has a chance to make the playoffs. And if you do, bless your innocent soul.
Me, I am thinking of the 2014-15 Blue Jackets, who closed with a 15-1 stretch run, missed the playoffs and proclaimed themselves awesome.
As the saying goes, the Crew is “not mathematically eliminated.” The team’s fans — the announced crowd was 20,035 — remain hardy.
