Holding The High Line, a Colorado Rapids Podcast

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we've got some election distraction content. Rabbi and Red talk after the Colorado Rapids LA Galaxy Game 2 in which the Rapids lost 4-1.

We recap how injuries to Cole Bassett and Djordje Mihalović hampered the Pids in this series with the Gs. We give some kudos to Oli Larraz for another big goal in a big game.
