Harmse is Outta Here

By: Laurie | Comments No Comments

As a lot of people have been predicting for the past few months, Kevin Harmse is heading out of LA and into Toronto FC. For only a fourth-round draft pick.
The fact that he’s leaving is no big surprise. He was a Frank Yallop guy, and a Canadian. Thherefore he was more [...]

A huge thanks to George for that little date/time reminder, or I would have missed this entirely.

I Believe the Galaxy Have Redefined the Word “Turnover”

By: Laurie | Comments 10 Comments

I was researching something on salaries for a later post and pulled up this old post from less than ten months ago.
Wow.
How many of these players are still here? I count 11 out of 26. I’ve bolded them.
And of these, Kyle Martino is probably headed out [...]

Mike Randolph Heads to Camp. U-23 Camp.

By: Laurie | Comments 4 Comments

Our very own Mike Randolph moved one step closer to the Olympics this week with a callup to the USMNT U-23 camp that runs from March 1-9. He’s one of 24 players in the camp. Yea, Mike!
He was the only Galaxy guy to get the call this time around. This is not a [...]

Alamo’s Developmental Contract Protects My Maternal Area

By: Laurie | Comments 4 Comments

We all know my thoughts on supplemental draft picks and trialists by now, right? In a nutshell, for any newcomers:

By: Laurie | Comments 8 Comments

The Galaxy are off to Asia. (Well, except for the ones with boo-boos which need care stateside. I read somewhere that those guys headed back Monday. I think this may have included Edson Buddle and his collarbone, but now I can’t find my source, so don’t quote me.)
But the others [...]

Photo of the Day: Becks and the Kids

By: Laurie | Comments 7 Comments

I stole this photo from the Galaxy homepage. I thought it was so sweet it has replaced Zidane as my laptop wallpaper. (Yes, I liked it that much.)
From the look on Josh Tudela’s face, my guess would be that it’s after his goal.

Who’s Calling the Shots in LA?

By: Laurie | Comments 9 Comments

Interesting article in 90:00 Magazine speculating on why David Beckham played the full ninety in both Pan-Pacific games on artificial turf.
Or, to look at the bigger picture, exactly who’s calling the shots in LA? Coach Ruud Gullit, or Beckham himself?
The article’s conclusion? Beckham.
So why did Beckham go the full [...]
