David, I know exactly what you mean. I’ve got the same feeling. And it could all suck. But in reading people’s comments on The Book, it seems clear that Ruiz’s second stint was screwed up by the back office politics in the organization. Hopefully under Arena these dysfunctions have been minimized so the new players will have a positive impact.

How many times have we seen promising new players join a team and amount to nothing? Dominguez? Ruiz (the second time, not the first)? I’m not sure I dare to hope. This feels different. This feels like building and not like tacking on a maybe. I hope the reality matches the feeling.

Laurie,

You are welcome for giving you all a clear shot at 2nd. And I have to say we helped out with Houston as well.

But I think that the G’s will win more games in the second half of the season than they did in the first. IF. If they can start scoring goals. Presumably Becks and Birchall and Esky will help with that. If they do, then all of a sudden the Galaxy can compete with the top tier in MLS. Which just shows you how much parity there really is in the league.

I only caught minutes of the game here and there, but thanks for knocking off Chivas and giving Seattle sole possession of second in the league.

Also: You can stop winning now.

Omar Gonzalez ROCKED it! We’d better have the money to reward him and keep him around next year.

I don’t know what Bruce sees in Kirovski either. Historically, Kirovski has had speed, a great touch on the ball, and vision akin to Landon’s. But I’m not seeing it. He’s having a cruddy season and I keep thinking Bruce playing him is like Bradley playing Kljestan.

Great recap! I was watching the game on FSE and they kept showing Becks, looking bored, sad, and a little sick. And all I could think to myself is how much WE DON’T NEED HIM.

Great win, though. It’s great to see the team finally get back to their winning ways of pre-Beckham.
