There's no cramping Barrett's style of late
Toronto FC forward back in form and playing 90 minutes after suffering from painful cramps
Daniel Girard
Chad Barrett has enjoyed the last two games more than most others.
It's not just that the Toronto FC striker finally scored his first goal of the season in one game and was man-of-the-match in the other.
It's that for the first time in a long time Barrett has played without getting cramps in the second half, allowing him to complete the full 90 minutes for the first time.

Gone, but not forgotten
Ryan Johnston
Neil Young penned it, Kurt Cobain misquoted it and Toronto FC coach John Carver made it his exit music on Saturday.
It's better to burn out than it is to rust; The king is gone, but he's not forgotten.

Short shelf life for Toronto's pro coaches
Garth Woolsey
What is it with Toronto and head coaches?
This town is awfully hard on them, for some reason or another. (Oh, yeah, it might have something to do with being – there's no polite way of saying this – losers.)
Until he announced he had resigned yesterday, John Carver of Toronto FC was the senior man among our major pro teams – at fewer than 15 months on the job.
Fare thee well, coach. Not that the Carver Era, which began with his hiring on Feb.1, 2008, will be remembered as anything at all special in terms of soccer style, substance or results.
