Five straight and counting. Five games since New York City last tasted victory.
That's the thing about streaks. You don't know you're in one until it's already going. Then, it takes a life of its own, creating its own gravitational forces. Last year, the Blues' season effectively ended in June, after a twelve-game winless streak. Losses and draws piled upon each other, until the weight of it all snuffed out whatever early hopes might've been stoked.
It now looks a little like a bit of history repeating. The Blues went tonight to Columbus, playing an equally frustrated Columbus Crew SC.
