I like to think my post yesterday made the difference. That it was the final piece that brought Buddle back. Okay, maybe not. But I can still think that. I was excited when Buddle first joined the Galaxy. He was not so highly rated, but I had seen him play ... http://lagalaxy.theoffside.com/player-news/ask-and-ye-shall-receive.html And I'm not talking about Beckham's 2-year $15 million contract. I'm talking about Omar Gonzalez. Last month Omar pulled out of the national team training camp for a very exciting loan move to Nurnberg. His very first day there he suffered a season ending injury at the hands--well, feet-- of ... http://lagalaxy.theoffside.com/player-news/the-bomb-has-dropped.html It should probably come as no surprise that the Galaxy have traded Donovan Ricketts to the Montreal Impact in exchange for allocation funds. Ricketts has statistically been the best keeper in the league. But when he went out with injury this season, Saunders took the starting role. Ricketts is older ... http://lagalaxy.theoffside.com/player-news/so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-fish.html Does it make me a guy that after the game was over all I wanted to do was curl up and go to sleep?

I don’t know about you, but ... http://lagalaxy.theoffside.com/player-news/eyes-on-the-prize-2.html I can't be the only one who still finds himself humming "This is LA...." every few minutes. Sunday night was the most thrilling night I have ever spent at the HDC. I don't think I have ever heard the crowd louder. My favorite fans, pictured above, cheered their brains out, as ... http://lagalaxy.theoffside.com/player-news/manifest-destiny.html Okay, so we didn't have proton packs. But But Bobby Brown's words otherwise ring true: "So they packed up, regrouped, got a grip, camera quick. Grabbed their proton packs on their backs and they split." Maybe Thierry Henry is no Vigo, but there is something about our boys traveling to NY in 45 ... http://lagalaxy.theoffside.com/player-news/we-came-we-saw-we-kicked-some.html Supporters Shield It may not be much to look at. It may not be as meaningful as the cup. But once again, it is ours. With Seattle's loss to San Jose the Galaxy have clinched the MLS Supporters Shield for the second year in a row. In simple terms, that means ... http://lagalaxy.theoffside.com/player-news/we-are-the-champions.html I couldn't watch the New York game, but honestly didn't really care. Funny how when we played them at home early in the season it was one of the most anticipated games of the whole year. But times have changed. The Galaxy have already clinched a playoff berth and are ... http://lagalaxy.theoffside.com/player-news/it-dont-mean-nuthin.html
