A 2-2-3 record heading out of April?
For the most part, the Seattle Sounders are OK with that.
They knew when they saw the start of the schedule, they would be in a tough spot by playing five of their first seven MLS matches on the road.
Plus, the reigning champions have had to deal with a spate of national team call-ups, and a rash of injuries that has decimated their defense.
But the road-heavy span is over. Seattle gets four of its next six matches at CenturyLink Field, starting Saturday against New England.
And, of course, the MLS Cup rematch with Toronto FC looms a week later in Seattle.
