Who knows? Maybe the temperature won't drop 40 degrees overnight next week and people will actually want to sit outdoors in a stadium.

C'mon, it wasn't that cold at the Philly game.  It was exactly 47 degrees outside of el pastor after the game...

BWP needs to see some bench.  Akpan, I dunno.  Someone from ESC SC?  BWP just have no luck.

BWP just needs game time. It wont do him or the team any good to play every other game.

Glad to see the diamond midfield work and we saw clearly the better passing forward and guys like henry and bwp were getting much better distribution vs philly which is very important. You need your strikers to get fat! However shep mentioned thwt the redbulls really lack a true striker that sits on top and close to the gk. I couldnt agree more. I think Henry, goal not withstanding last night, is really showing his age and has had a bad season so far. I am worried about him and he is not a true striker. Bwp the jury is still out on him but from what I have seen, I am not impressed at all! Kudos to roy miller yesterday for a great game on defense and on offense. That sick pass to henry for the goal was flat out awesome. Kudos also to alexander, after again a rough start in the first half, he picked it up in the second half. I think petke might have found a spot for him on that left side when playing 1-2-1 in the mid. Petke finally listened to me and played the diamond mid and i think it work at least for one night. Lets see what hou brings. Kudos to robles again. He is turning himself into a top flight gk in this league. He has come a long way since early last year when he was making alot of big time mistakes. So happy for him and for us, he has been amazing. Playing dax at cdm in the diamond mid is his best position. Keep him there. Kudos again to lloyd sam, he along with robles have been our best players. Great job again last night. A big disappointment about this league again are the refs. I seriously am worried and it is brining the credibility down of mls. You can tell even with comments made by foreign dps foreign players that they are very disappointed in the quality of the refs. Salazar is by far one of the worst. To give a red card to sekagaya is awful. Was it a pk? Of course but thee was no intent to stick his arm out and deliberately stop the ball with his arm. He was diving for crying out loud, you cant dive with your arms sticking to your body. Awful call andnit changed the game last night. Overall great job last night. Lets make it two in a row vs houston. Sorry for the paragraph, on posting using my ipad and for some reason I cant space my paragraphs.

If we're judging by the Philly game, I think Peguy needs it a bit more.  He just looked flat footed and slow all game, maybe those aging legs could use a rest after 180 minutes in 4 days.

Peguy seemed gassed as soon as the match started.  Slow as shit and just not on form.   It wouldn't be a bad move to rest him for a week or at least use him as a late game sub.

Before last night?  100% yes.  After last night?  Not so sure... We've seen these flashes from Alexander before so I'm not getting too excited, but I think he earned another week to see if he can build on that performance.
