Donovan Ricketts Wants Your Vote! (For The All-Star Team)

Donovan Ricketts has been making huge stops all year long – All-Star caliber stops. But just being good doesn’t mean you are going to get what you deserve. Sometime you have to pimp yourself a little. Press the flesh. Get the word out. Bribe people with food. Ricketts shows how to make it happen on the field and off.

He’s Baaaaack

What the *&%! is up with his hair? And I’m not sure about the rope either.

Honestly, I’d rather see him in some goal-scoring or goal-assisting photos in a Galaxy uniform. But alas, that will have to wait.

So here is your requisite eye-candy. And guys? We really don’t expect you to look like this, or even close to it.

Do They Hate Him or Something?

Why, why, why did the Galaxy’s main page use this photo of Dema Kovalenko? Why? C’mon folks, this is the kind of photo that will get you beaten up out by the bleachers.

This Headline Hits My Funny Bone

This, and several like it, have been in my inbox since last night:

Donovan warns Americans about Costa Rica

It’s like Landon has a job with the Department of Travel and Tourism.

The USMNT take on Costa Rica tonight, in case you haven’t been following along. Kick off is at 7pm Pacific Time on ESPN2, ESPN360.com, and Galavision. There is a special 30 minute preview on ESPN2 beginning at 6:30pm. So set your DVRs because this should be a good match. The ~~hostile~~ environment in Costa Rica alone is worth tuning in.

Ives Galarcep has the preview and an in depth look at the Costa Rican team.

I Need Your Creativity

So I’ve been talking with the other MLS Offside bloggers about making wagers when the Galaxy plays their teams. Our traitor blogger Laurie at Seattle, and Dave at New York have already been at it. Evidence of said wager here.

Now I need your help. What kinds of “punishments” would you like to see here at the Galaxy Offside if I lose a wager? Anything goes, as long as it doesn’t violate FCC guidelines, or something like that. (Or even if it does, shhhhh) As you can see from the above photo, my husband is willing to help as well. So what would you want to see?

And for those who may not understand the reference, see photo of Landon below. The worst photo ever of my favorite player.
