Chicago Fire Power Ranking Dialed in at 2

The league / pseudo press has been putting out the MLS Power Rankings all year. After starting out in position 1, briefly degrading as low as 3, we have now cemented into position 2 for the last few weeks.

Of course, you can guess who's ahead of us in number 1 === Yep, Chivas. So this is the week to break the lock and take back number 1 with a decisive victory over Chivas U.S.A.

The game will be televised on ESPN2 (in HD if you've got it). John broke the news, however, that the game starts at 9:30pm central time. So, stock up on caffeinated beverages!

GO FIRE!!!

Del Gooooooooool! Del Rolfe!

¡Oh sí! Nada es más dulce que ganar a los Red Bulls, a menos que ganar a los Red Bulls de Nueva York Chris Rolfe en un objetivo en los últimos segundos de la primera mitad!

Próxima parada, California, EE.UU. y Chivas!"

(Translation: Oh my god - Jon Busche saved our butts! Big Time! (and Chris Rolfe scored))

Up, Up, and Away!

Some will already be aware of the catastrophe at the Revs game; one of our flagpoles fractured and collapsed! Investigation has confirmed that it was a strength of materials issue. With that in mind, design on version 2 was begun. And, oh yes, we can rebuild it - better, stronger, higher than before.

Implementation of version two was all but complete today. From it, satellites can be launched into low earth orbit. The carbon nano-tube design makes it incredibly strong. And the embedded servo gyros make it self steadying and self assembling.

All that remains is for us to purchase a Fire flag of adequate size to be seen from 75,000 feet. I'll leave that to you guys. Hopefully, it doesn't cost 6 million dollars....

Update - Kris Locates Viable Flag

After an exhastive search (his reply was posted like 10 minutes after I posted the original blog), Kris has located a flag of sufficient size to be seen from low earth orbit. Hopefully, its made from silicon fiber so that it can survive the heat of re-entry...GO FIRE!
