MLS Playoff Picks

With the first leg of the playoffs 3/4 finished, I'm just getting around to publishing my picks.  Not a second to spare, so nothing further:

- Colorado Rapids over Construction Workers Local #679 of Ohio (Rapids lead 1-0)
- RSL over FC Dallas (Dallas won first leg 2-1 at the Hut)
- RBNY over San Jose (RBNY won first leg 1-0 at Santa Clara last night)
- Seattle Sounders over LA Galaxy (first leg kickoff tonight)

RBNY over Colorado to win the East
RSL over Seattle

RBNY over RSL for the title in Toronto.

For the record though I'm picking RSL to overcome a first leg deficit and advance to the Cup Final, I detest their counter-attacking style of play and consider them the least watchable MLS side in the playoffs (as far as non-playoff teams go, we'll always have Houston).   Rooting for Sounders to go all the way, but RSL owned the flow of their last game against each other (which is to say it was unwatchable).  If FC Dallas comes up with the stop at Rio Tinto next week, all hell breaks loose and you would be kindly advised to forget my foregoing divinations immediately.
