Chris Wondolowski is officially the King of Cascadia, as he's scored at least two goals against every Pacific Northwest club this season. And it looks like that'll make the Quakes the Kings of MLS, as they took a big step toward a Supporters' Shield with four points vs. Portland and Seattle.
What happens in the East, meanwhile, may be determined by this week's games. It doesn't get much bigger than No. 2 overall Sporting KC hosting No. 3 Chicago. Got to think that whoever gets the result from that one is odds-on favorite to take the conference crown.
Let us know what you think in the comments below.

<p>It's tempting to label the Quakes as "Wondolowski & Co." but they were 5-2-1 during Wondo's eight-game run-of-play dry spell, so they're not exactly a one-man gang. Of course, he did need to ride to the rescue to save a point vs. Portland, then set a league record with his 10th game-winner of the season in Seattle.
