We grabbed three important points Saturday night at Toyota Park with the help of two impressive goals from John Thorrington. There aren't any highlights on the website because the game was broadcast in high definition, so I'll try my best to describe them to you from my memory. The first one - well I have no idea how the first one happened. But I know the ball was in the air and John was approaching it from the center of the field about 20 yards out and his volley hit the upper far post and went in. The second was off a great assist by Justin Mapp who crossed the ball on the ground to John at the far post where he took a touch and placed the ball in the upper corner again. Colorado pulled a goal back late on a free kick, but that was it.

A lot of you were asking about my status in that game. I was available as a substitute, but I wasn't needed because of the way the game was going. We did sub in Stephen King, Wilman Conde and Calen Carr who did a good job conserving the win.
