Luis Arroyave's quick look: The Fire is off to a 4-1-1 start, second only to Columbus. One of the reasons for the Fire's early success is midfielder John Thorrington, who has scored three goals in the last two games. Forward Tomasz Frankowski missed Saturday's victory over New England (ankle) but is expected to be available for Thursday's match.
