Since April 5th, the Crew have quietly gone on a 8-game unbeaten streak and have gone from the cellar to a 4-way tie for 3rd in the eastern conference. Got their first win on the road on Saturday against the Kansas City Wizards. Guillermo Barros Schelotto is tied for the league lead in goals after his brace (2 goals) this weekend with 8 in 12 games. He had 7 last year when he earned league MVP honors.
Injuries are still a concern (Hesmer, Hejduk, Iro, Carroll, and Moffatt, among others), especially in the defense, but the back-ups have really stepped up (Brunner, Zayner, & Gruenbaum especially). Seems like things are finally clicking chemistry wise with these guys. Moreno, Hejduk, & Oughton have been with their respective national teams a lot recently in their quests to qualify for the upcoming World Cup. Marshall earned a red card in his last game too, so we won't have our best defender either when we play the best team in the league (Chivas USA) at home this Sunday. Hoping we can get some of these guys healthy here in the next couple of weeks.
Anyone going to the game this weekend? I'll be there!
