Saturday is a busy day in MLS play, as several teams in the playoff hunt collide as the season winds down.
An Eastern conference clash between Toronto FC and the Philadelphia Union kickstarts the action, as TFC looks to clinch a spot in the playoffs with a win. In addition, the New York Red Bulls can book a spot in the postseason with a victory over the Montreal Impact at Red Bull Arena.
In the West, the Colorado Rapids can take a step towards catching FC Dallas in a meeting with the struggling Vancouver Whitecaps, who continue to fall out of the Western Conference race. FC Dallas’ spot in the postseason was secured last weekend, but the U.S. Open Cup champions collision with Real Salt Lake could serve as a potential playoff preview.
Elsewhere, Orlando City and D.C. United battle to get above the red line, while the Houston Dynamo look to continue to play spoiler against the Portland Timbers.

So you’ve dropped having a Saturday or Sunday running commentary where people watching the European matches can comment on the play of our Yanks Abroad in favor of a MLS running commentary to discuss the accomplishments of lower end talent.
It’s disappointing to see how far SBI has fallen since Ives took a job with Goal.com.
Relax they didn’t get it done this morning. Ives has been around much more of late, although he puts most of his focus on the NCAA coverage, and Ryan has to do almost all the other articles cut the guys some slack. With Cup play this week they were keeping us up to date with when and where everyone was playing everyday this week. When there isn’t a running commentary check out the weekend preview or the tv schedule that’s where most guys head to if there isn’t a commentary.
