The Fizzards

Here is what I want to know. When was the last time a professional team scored only four runs/goals in an eight game stretch? I wouldn't be shocked if it has never happened in baseball or hockey or even soccer... until now.

Yes, the lowly Wizards have reached this level of complete and utter offensive impotence. But, that's only half the story.

When was the last time a team was in first place after five weeks of the season and eventually found themselves in last? Surely that hasn't happened, has it? Well, it still hasn't. However, if San Jose had won tonight, Kansas City would have fizzled from first to worst in the same season. In mid April, the Wizards were 3-1-1 (10 points) and number one in the MSL. Two months later they have 3-5-3 record (12 points), next to last.

We've suffered a comlete collapse in the standings, but at least we got to see four goals in 12 hours of nail-biting intense action - the kind only soccer can provide.
