Well the playoff picture is still all up in the air.  We know that Kansas City, Chicago and LA all have control of their own destiny.  Columbus and Colorado are both hoping to squeeze into the playoffs, but they need some help to get there.

The Colorado Rapids played the west leading Chivas USA.  The Rapids needed a victory and the game went into the 90th minute a 1-1 tie.  Omar Cummings change that scoreline and kept the Rapids in the playoff race for the time being.  So this is the current standings:

Chicago - 37
Kansas City - 37
—————-
Colorado - 35
Columbus - 34
LA - 33

Thursday:
New York Red Bulls @ LA Galaxy

Saturday:
Columbus Crew @ DC United
Kansas City Wizards @ FC Dallas
Real Salt Lake @ Colorado Rapids

Sunday:
LA Galaxy @ Chicago Fire

The Chicago Fire, Kansas City Wizards and LA Galaxy all control their own destiny.  Finish the season with wins and they will play in the playoffs.  Chicago and Kansas City could both potentially still make the playoffs if they lose their last games as long as they have help from New York on Thursday and DC United and Real Salt Lake on Saturday.  The Rapids need to win and need a little bit of help to make the playoffs while the Crew need a win and quite a bit more help to get in.
