Galaxy Humpday Update & More
Galaxy beat writer Billy Witz points out today that instead of resting up for Sunday's crucial contest against Toronto, the team could have been on the road playing meaningless exhibitions if David Beckham was healthy.
He's not, of course, and likely won't play this weekend.
Wonder if the AEG bean counters will see the error of their ways and ease up on the schedule to give the Galaxy a better chance of actually fielding a competitive team in MLS games? Don't bet on it.
The story is here.
By the way, those looking for cheapo Galaxy gear should check out the MLS outlet store where old green and yellow garb is going for bargain prices. I'm talking $24 shirts for $9 and $20 T-shirts for $6.

Meanwhile, there's apparently still a few spots left on the Galaxy's annual charity "Day on the Links" golf tournament in Fullerton Monday for those who want to shoot a round with a player or two.
Details are here.
Finally, for indoor soccer fans out there (there's gotta be at least one) Fox Soccer Channel on Tuesday announced its first television package with the Major Indoor Soccer League since it was known as Fox Sports World earlier this century.
The 20-game package on Friday nights begins at 5 p.m. Nov. 16.
