Hello Colorado Rapids fans! This week on Holding The High Line, Rabbi Mark Goodman is back from all the Jewish holidays. The guys banter about the MLS schedule being congested and too long, off a great column from Jonathan Tannenwald. Then we discuss a four point week for the Pids and the Chris Little Effect.

Rabbi and Red break down a draw with Vancouver Whitecaps and a win over Austin FC. We discuss what went well, the effect Chris Little is having on the first team, Cole Bassett, and Sebastian Anderson. It's not all good stuff though, with some boring halves, and Sidnei Tavares and Rafael Navarro still waiting to have a big impact.

We preview the games against two Texas teams this week. Can the Rapids win at FC Dallas? What about a tough test against the Houston Dynamo midfield that just won the Open Cup. Lastly, we talk about Colorado Rapids 2 in the MLS NEXT Pro playoffs.
