Entering Wednesday’s midweek tilt against the Houston Dynamo, one could make an argument that the Union were the hottest team in the East: winners of two straight and earning seven points of a possible nine.

There was a new “identity” and “attitude” to this team, or so the narrative stated. They were closing out games that in years past they would have drew or […]
