S1 E31 As Columbus Crew historian Steve Sirk says: Only a loss due to food poisoning is worse than a loss on penalty kicks. The Crew lost on kicks to visiting St. Louis City in the U.S. Open Cup final Wednesday night. They've got to turn right around and face Toronto in CBus on Saturday afternoon, and a victory is critical to the Black & Gold's hopes of a playoff berth. Morgan Hughes of SupporterSupply.co returns to talk about the stretch run, and much more, with host Michael Arace of TheDisrespected.com. #crew96 #stlouiscitysc #torontofc #usopencup #mls
