Ruiz is Having Knee Problems. Already

By: Laurie | Comments 2 Comments

Okay. So we sign a highly-paid superstar who’s going to fix our scoring issues, and within weeks he’s got injury problems.
Anybody else feeling a nauseating sense of deja vu?
This time it’s Carlos Ruiz. At this moment it’s Guatemala’s issue, not the Galaxy’s, but with training starting next week, that will soon change. [...]

Or…um…so I’m told. I personally didn’t notice.
But if that’s [...]

By: Laurie | Comments 15 Comments

A month or so ago, the English papers were reporting that David Beckham would get his 100th cap next week in the Switzerland friendly. And they weren’t just saying he’d play. They were saying he’d wear the captain’s band yet again.

By: Laurie | Comments 2 Comments

Remember the Pan-Pacific Tournament? That pre-season thing in Hawaii?
Glenn Davis gives us this little two-sentence bit of news.

More on Beckham and that Sierra Leone Trip

By: Laurie | Comments 3 Comments

Reader Diane sent me an interesting link to an article about David Beckham on the Sierra Leone trip for Unicef. Just another reminder of how hard it is to pigeonhole the man.

Galaxy Odds and Ends

By: Laurie | Comments 5 Comments

First, about that Beckham photo yesterday. I tried to add text, but Wordpress kept refusing to post readable text and the photo. The photo was more important. The story, though? Becks was in Sierra Leone for Unicef. (Is he done with Arsenal now? I kind of lost track. [...]

How the Galaxy Got This Cool Preseason Schedule. The TRUE Story

I’m imagining that the marketing meeting went something like this:
Guy 1: We need to create more Galaxy fans!! We need…we need…people.
Guy 2: Hmm. People. Where are we going to find those?
