It was always going to be like this. Sometimes as fans and observers, we can forget the macro for a while and focus on the micro. The Fire were coming in feeling pretty good about themselves, after putting the thunder to an FC Dallas in free fall. They were getting set to play the 2019 winners of the Andrew Hauptman Memorial Wooden Spoon (since he’s gone does the name change now?), and looked to be in the drivers seat, or at least, had one foot in the car. However, we all forgot who this team is. They’re the bad human who’s always tempting us with treats, but even when we’re being good-est of boys (or girls) they never give us that milk-bone.
