Crew drop out of playoff position

The loss last night to Chicago puts Columbus one spot out of playoffs with just about half (45%) of the MLS season left to play which means the watch has started. Before this recent 4 game skid, the Crew looked like they were coasting to another playoff appearance.

We usually have a pretty good picture of which teams are good/bad by mid-summer on the MLS calendar. The way things are looking right now, Columbus will be battling with Montreal, Philly, and DC above them and Atlanta below them.

I think the rest are pretty much locked into their positions.
