Orlando City went on the road to New England on Saturday night and fell to the Revolution, 4-0, to extend their winless streak to eight games. With the loss, the Lions fell to 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings, now sitting just three points above the cellar dwellers, D.C. United.
Gavin shares his thoughts on the match and once again finds himself taking on the growing crowd of fans shouting "Kreis out."

Preview: Orlando City at New England Revolution
Orlando City travels north to Gillette Stadium this weekend to kick off a four game road trip against the New England Revolution on Saturday night (7pm ET, TV 27 and MLS Live).
The Lions' playoff chances have dropped to just two percent, and a loss this weekend would drop them to 10th place in the conference. Things won't be easy, as Orlando will be without five key starters for the match against a Revolution side that has won three straight league matches at home.
--------------------------------------------
Injuries: Will Johnson (ankle), Jonathan Spector (knee), Richie Laryea (hamstring)
Suspensions: Cristian Higuita
International Duty: Cyle Larin (Canada), Yoshi Yotú (Peru)
Projected Lineup (left to right): Joe Bendik; Donni Toia, Tommy Redding, Jose Aja, Scott Sutter; Antonio Nocerino, Servando Carrasco; Carlos Rivas, Kaká, Giles Barnes; Dom Dwyer.
All-Time meetings: Orlando (1 win), New England (1 win), 3 draws

All-Star Starting XI: The Office
Hello friends and listeners, Gavin here. We created this blog for a few reasons, one of which was to create more content away from the microphones.
Anyway, it's a Monday and I'm off of work and bored, so I decided to type out some words in this space and start a new series that builds Starting XIs from the best TV shows in all of the land.
Today: The Office
Goalkeeper: Angela Martin -- You need a protector in goal, someone that will stop at no costs to let nothing go by her. Angela has those instincts as she protects her cats as if they were her own children. Nothing gets by Angela. If she sniffs the sent of something happening in her area, she'll stop it. She doesn't play games, which is the appropriate mindset for your goalkeeper.
Right Back: Pete Miller -- Plop is another young guy to play opposite of Erin on the right side. He plays a quietly okay right back, which is just fine for this team.
Center Back: Jim Halpert -- Jim has the size and strength to be a quality center back for the team. He's got the athleticism to get any ball in the air. Be careful though, because he can get a bit lazy at times.
Center Back: Pam Beasley -- If Jim's my starting CB, then there is no greater player to stick next to him than Pam, creating the ultimate duo. Their chemistry is unmatched, and just as they are as parents when they sense danger they step up to defeat it.
Left Back: Erin Hannon -- You need youth at this spot, someone with plenty of energy to zip up and down the left side of the field, and that's where Erin shines for this team. She's spunky, she's confident, but she does make some mistakes from time to time, but that's okay because they only make her stronger.
Defensive Midfielder: Darryl Philbin -- Darryl does the hard work. He anchors down the deep midfield just as he anchors down the deeper levels of Dunder Mifflin, down in the warehouse. He doesn't always get the recognition he deserves, but his efforts are noticeable.
Defensive Midfielder: Dwight Schrute -- Dwight is a fighter. He's the perfect type of player to roam dangerously in the deep holding midfielder role and sniff out danger -- as he does as a volunteer police officer. He's the best in the office at closing on deals, and he'll be great ar closing down attacks as well before they get too serious.
Right Midfielder: Ryan Howard -- Ryan is a creative mind. From "WUPHF" to his bright ideas as Vice President of Dunder Mifflin. He finds himself with the ball often because of Michael's heavy favoritism towards him. Ryan is always looking to get the ball into the box, even if some of his ideas -- Dunder Mifflin Infinity?? -- fall flat.
Left Midfielder: Andy Bernard -- The Nard Dog is persistent and creative pushing the ball forward down the left side. He doesn't have the best field awareness -- he didn't know Angela was cheating on him -- and he's far from the best salesman, but he's an Ivy League grad so that has to count for something.
Attacking Midfielder: Michael Scott -- He runs this place. He pulls the strings on the field as the No. 10 just as he someone pulls the strings of the only successful branch in the company. He's a creator: "Threat Level Midnight," "Lazy Scranton," and his many, many different characters. Also not to be forgotten, his ability to put together the Dundies every year.
Forward: Charles Miner -- Charles is the footballer of the group. He's got the size and skill set to be a great No. 9 for the team and a perfect target striker.

Well that's it, there's my team.
