It was a cute joke.
“They are on their way to the playoffs! Lol!”
But it was just a joke. When you start winless in your first 11 games, any mention of the playoffs is about as serious as Vinny Chase as a legitimate actor.
Except, sometimes a joke can start to take on some truth. The Colorado Rapids could actually be on their way to the playoffs.
After a 0W-9L-2D start to the season, the Rapids have gone 4W-0L-2D in their last six games. They are four points out of seventh place in the West.
