Is Juan Carlos Osario the Boogy Man?

JCO is Chicago's new arch nemesis, if you believe all you read in the fan blogs. As of today, JCO is responsible for (in no particular order)....

• His own defection (feel the knife back there?)
• The attempted defection of, formerly, beloved attacking defender Wilman Conde. A fellow Colombian.
• The retirement of Wanchope (ok, its not all bad)
• The injury of Fire discovery Lider Marmol (Paraguay), who is apparently faking a hammy pull so that the Fire will relinquish their discovery claim and allow him to take up with JCO at the Red Bull.
• And last, but not least, a disturbing shortage of office supplies at Toyota Park.

Coincidences? I think not! And this couldn't happen at a better time - after all, our rivalry with Dallas F.C. has cooled since they dropped the "Burn" moniker. Sure, we have our grudge with the Revs, but we need another good rival and Columbus just hasn't been there for us the past few seasons.

Enter the Red Bull and JCO.

Everyone suspects the Red Bull of pulling some shifty accounting to manage their salary cap. Now they have "Moriarty" at the helm. Could you ask for a better bad guy foil for our Fire? Oh yes - vengeance will be ours...
