Hello Rapids Fans! This week on Holding The High Line, we can confirm Sam Raben has a dog! Ok, back to being serious. Rabbi and Red discuss the USMNT and FC Cincinnati getting results since last we podcasted. The guys do Good Thing, Bad Thing, Big Thing on the Sporting KC draw. We break down what's going on in the Colorado Rapids midfield, Dillon Serna doing his thing, and Kellyn Acosta not so much. Also, we've got some insight into how Kansas City might have been more prepared for Sunday than you think.

We then turn to Saturday's match at FC Dallas. The guys take stock on the new look FCD under different leadership. We discuss Acosta and Dominique Badji playing their former clubs. Then we take a look at how injuries and international call ups could affect this game.

The show ends with Mark having a phone interview Rapids Homegrown Sam Raben, in the midst of a loan spell with Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC.
