Hello Colorado Rapids fans. So the Colorado Rapids were really bad at Columbus Crew. Holding The High Line gets together on Labor Day to talk about it.

We start with a discussion of how big next week's Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinal is. It's the biggest Rapids game since when? It's the biggest home game since when? When was the last time the Pids were this close to winning a trophy?

Then we try to make sense of the 3-0 loss at Columbus. Darren Yapi and Georgi Minoungou were bad. Nobody was on the same page. How bad was it and what does it all mean? Those visas can't come soon enough. We have new thought. Matt dug into the Rapids First Scorer Predictor.

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, it's MLS Deadline Day! We get caught up on all the transfers from the past week, official and expected.

First we break down the Rafael Navarro trade to St. Louis City. There's pros and cons. We discuss Rafa's legacy with Colorado Rapids and why the Rapids Math makes sense even if it's a tough decision. There's a missing piece of information given the contract extension negotiations broke down. We try to get to the bottom of this decision, which seemed unthinkable a week ago.

Sayed Abu Farkhi is official. Rabbi thinks this is a sign he's be a center forward. Red did his research on Morgan Whittaker. And we try to have some good thoughts on Ibrahim Sadiq. There's some big picture takeaways about this window, how it ended, and what the winter transfer window will look like.

Then we finally discuss the Rocky Mountain Cup. For the first time ever, the Pids have won it three years in a row. RSL were so bad. We have thoughts on Pablo Mastroeni and Diego Luna.

We talk about the news about every MLS team returning to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Also KSE bought the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. We think this a bad sign for the Rapids and proves what we've known for years.

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we've got Rapids transfers to discuss.

Lucas Herrington has reportedly completed his medical at Hull City. We're just waiting on the press release at this point. We discuss the three rumored players in Couhaib Driouech, Filip Thovaldsen, Sayed Abu Farhi. It doesn't look like the Pids will sign any of them but we talk about them nonetheless. What does this say about where the Rapids stand on the transfer window with the Lucas funds coming in? We have thoughts. It feels different this time.

Then we touch on the Leagues Cup and Concacaf drama as Mexico supporters Infantino. We have a laugh at Azteca Portlandia (the same thing would happen to the Rapids, maybe worse).
