Problem Solved!

When Jeff Cunningham joined Toronto, he had scored 93 goals in his MLS career. Because Jeff likes to remind people of this fact, he chose the number 93 for his jersey.

At the start of the season, Cunny noted that, next year, he was going to need to ask the league for special permission to to wear a number greater than 100.

It now looks certain that Cunningham won't need to ask the league's permission after all. That's the good news.

The bad news is that it's because Cunningham has scored only 3 goals since joining the offense-challenged Red Brigade. Unless he explodes for 4 more goals, Cunny will be stuck on 96...

Other Thoughts
1. Cuahtemoc Blanco is the most exciting player in MLS. Even when he messes up, like against DC United. As two United defenders closed in, Blanco attempted his signature move: trapping the ball between his feet and bunnyhopping between the two defenders. This time, however, his momentum carried him backwards and he fell on his rear and the ball trickled away. But as if you needed an example of how, even when he's bad, he's good, the ball still made it to the Fire's Wilman Conde in the box.

2. Sadly, the Fire's finishing is not on par with Blanco's creation. Wanchope has been a disappointment, but he's still a useful player. Chris Rolfe is a badass. Even Chad Barrett should be lauded for his awarenesxs and work effort. But the Fire needs a finisher. That said, I think they can now play with any of the league's best teams.

3. We have a race. DC's Emilio is stuck on league-leading 20 goals. NY's Juan Pablo Angel hit two against Kansas City for 19. The scoring race will go down to the last game.
