so, i remember during the fuego's season, i watched them blow a match and it looked like they had also slipped out of playoff contention. a few matches later, everything had been righted, and the fuego rolled all the way to the pdl finals.
in similar fashion, i'd pretty much given up on the galaxy's chances of making the playoffs. i harbored slim hopes that they could repeat their feat of last year and hit stride late and sneak into the playoffs. but, realistically, i figured we were dead in the water. especially after we continued to lose after i'd already given up.
but last night, the galaxy moved closer to realizing the dream. they have quietly snuck back into contention. they beat columbus, and are now only 4 points behind the final playoff spot. and all this without that beckham fellow. who, by the way, is healing nicely. initial thoughts would be that he could be back for the oct. 13 but i haven't heard any official news on that front. but, there are 4 games left. we'll see if becks makes it back, and if the galaxy can sneak in the playoffs. one problem, 3 of the 4 games are against the top teams in the league. here's to hoping that they'll be resting their guys for the playoffs and field soft teams against the galaxy.

The commentary shows on Sirius are saying he might come back for the playoffs only. I don't think they would rush him back for the regular season. The only reason he would come back for playoffs is because he really wants to show that he deserves a place on England.
yeah, i haven't heard much lately about beck's actual return since early estimates of oct 13 or playoffs or done for year.
it's funny that now they don't want to rush him back. yeah, thanks. why didn't you do an honest assessment before, not rush him to play on a bad leg, overuse him in a few matches, and then have him get a more serious injury. i won't say that if you're not going 100% you're more likely to get hurt, but i will say that if you're favoring a leg, that's going to put more stress on the other, as well as your whole body.
but a boy can hope, can't he?
