As I wake up bleary eyed and sober, I regret the error of my condition that left me unable to become blind drunk or wrapped in the blissfully ignorant cocoon of some other equally enjoyable vice during last night's match. Had I been able to enjoy more than a thimble full of alcohol, maybe I would have been able to better to participate in the fantasy camp that when on for 90 minutes at Toyota Park.

Chaos! Catastrophe! And a collective vendetta against one of our best players this season thus far.
Such has been the general Fire fan reaction to the recent slide in form, which has seen us drop three of our last four games, with a suddenly anemic offense particularly enraging those who seem to think that despite MLS' undoubted parity, the Fire ought to be immune from the mini-slumps in form every team goes through.
In particular, the criticism roundly heaped upon Chad Barrett following the last game -- where he did botch one easy chance, before missing a far harder angled shot -- has been as pointless as it has been predictable. He deserves criticism, but so do many other players from that disappointing loss to the Fake Goats.
