LA Dodgers defeat Cincinnati Reds 6-1. Can the Dodgers play the Reds everyday? Seriously. Not only do the Dodgers score more than one run, they give beleaguered starter Derek Lowe run support. Pitching on a strict count, Lowe pitched only 5 1/3 innings making 85 pitches giving up only one run on three hits with six strikeouts. James Loney helped the cause hitting a solo homer and an RBI double. Dare we wish for......

LA Angels defeat LA Dodgers 10-2. Derek Lowe started on three days rest due to Brad Penny getting an extra day off due to a sore forearm. Usually Lowe is good on three days rest, but I guess he wilted in the heat. Lowe gave up seven runs and ten hits in five innings, and the Dodgers bullpen didn't do much to stop the bleeding either. The Angels had been struggling offensively up to......

Houston Astros over LA Dodgers 5-0. For the third straight game the Dodger offense looked flat as the Astros were all over start Chad Billingsley who gave up all five runs in the first two innings. The only real positive for the Dodgers was their bullpen with Chan Ho Park pitching a shut out for three innings and Joe Beimel pitching a perfect ninth. Tampa Bay Rays over LA Angels 2-0. This was yet......

LA Lakers over Utah Jazz 109-98. MVP Kobe Bryant and the Lakers showed that a six-day layoff wouldn't decrease their intensity as they spanked the Jazz Sunday afternoon. Before the sold-out crowd at Staples, the Jazz looked gassed in the fourth quarter from having played six tough games against the Houston Rockets in the first round. The MVP scored 38 points and went to the free-throw line a playoff career high 23 times only......

LA Lakers defeat Denver Nuggets 102-84. The thin air seemingly inconsequential, the Lakers continued to pound the Nuggets to ultimate self destruction. The Nuggets decided to be more defensive which seemed laughable at points, but their offense just couldn't get going. Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson combined for 10-38 shooting with 16 and 15 points respectively which just isn't going to get it done. The Lakers can close out the series on Monday in......

LA Lakers defeat San Antonio Spurs 106-85. The Lakers played shoddy defense the first half against the shorthanded Spurs. But then again the Spurs did also which explains the tied score at half. In the second half the Lakers absolutely shut down the Spurs and Tony Parker while keeping up their offensive efficiency. If the Lakers win Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings, the Lakers will be the #1 team in the west. And to......

LA Galaxy defeat San Jose Earthquakes 2-0. The Galaxy still looked to be reeling from Sunday night's 4-0 loss against the Colorado Rapids when San Jose scored a goal in the second minute. Fortunately for the Galaxy the goal was waved off by an off-sides call, and the Galaxy went on to score two goals in the first half. David Beckham scored his first goal in the MLS in the ninth minute assisted by......

Photo by Brad Westphal for Shanghaiist. The Los Angeles Galaxy wrapped a 3-0 win in Shanghai on Wednesday night (yup -- big time difference, folks!) thanks to a hat trick by Carlos Ruiz. Shanghaiist, our sister site, has been covering Beckhamania and has great analysis of the match against Shanghai East Asia Hong Kong United (it's unclear at this time if that fits on a jersey). In fact, they've got a lot more insight than,......

"Found on sidewalk near Hope & 8th" Ball-busting: The City of Los Angeles is considering mandating spaying and neutering for all cats and dogs because shelters are overcrowded and so many animals go unadopted. Enforcement is expected to be easygoing, as in if your pet minds its own business you'll stay under the radar, but if your neighbor logs in a complaint about your barking dog and his junk is still ready to make......

Fear not, fans of Posh and Becks, the high-profile pair are not going to be packing up and heading out of our fair city, as rumors have been circulating. While Los Angeles Galaxy's star midfielder has been passing the ball as part of some MLS off-season training of late, he has not been in talks with the Newcastle United team about a possible signing. The UK's SkySports reports that Beckham "played under [Newcastle's new manager......

Alexi Lalas President and General Manager Los Angeles Galaxy Dear Alexi: I've gotta hand it to you. You are indeed the man. Landing David Beckham is a much bigger deal than any of your fellow MLS owners will ever acknowledge, because they're all steamed that they couldn't pull it off first. The man is the biggest brand in international sports, without a doubt, and his made-for-the-highlight-reel penalty and free kicks are just what the......

David Beckham, super star, savior and second coming, was officially introduced today at the Home Depot Center in Carson. Joining Beckham was his wife, Victoria, 600 members of the media from around the world, five-thousand screaming fans, the Mayors of both Los Angeles and Carson and other soccer people....

Yesterday marked David Beckham’s last day as a respectable European footballer before he makes his move to the Los Angeles Galaxy. Given the high caliber of the European soccer teams as compared to the naïve American Major League Soccer (MLS), this last game is surely the beginning of the end for the legendary Beckham. He is now doomed to a life of over-done, over-rated, Hollywood middle-brow trashiness. The poor man has already begun to......

Continuing a recent trend, Chivas USA has pledged over a quarter of a billion dollars to attract a major British talent to play soccer in Los Angeles. After the Galaxy signed David Beckham, many thought the city could only manage one wealthy international sex symbol with morphing hair and little domestic appeal. Unbenounced to most people, the Home Depot Center can accommodate this blockbuster opportunity because they host two MLS franchises. Williams isn't known to......

David Beckham $250,000,000, Hollywood 2 - There had been rumblings for awhile, but nobody expected it to happen like this. International mega-ultra-super-ginorma star David Beckham has agreed to a five year deal to play soccer for the Los Angeles Galaxy. He will get paid over a quarter of a billion dollars, most of which will come from advertising and merchandising. Beckham currently has a soccer academy at the Home Depot Center in Carson (where the......

The hottest thing in SoCal tonight is at the Home Depot Center in Carson, as the Los Angeles Galaxy will take on Real Madrid. Yes, that Real Madrid. Yesterday, a training session between in Carson attracted more than 8,000 fans, and tonight's games is sold out. Real Madrid is the world's most star-studded soccer team, which includes big names such as David Beckham, Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Michael Owen, Roberto Carlos, Luis Figo, and Raul......

Soccer star David Beckham was in LA yesterday to open up his new soccer academy at the Home Depot Center, and rumors were flying that he could one day play for the Los Angeles Galaxy. "I never thought that I would ever be playing anywhere apart from Manchester United, and then I make the move to the biggest club in the world, Real Madrid," Beckham said. "… Things happen. Playing in America does interest......

The Los Angeles Galaxy pulled off a coup last week by acquiring Landon Donovan from Bayer Leverkusen in Germany. This is a superstar signing of epic proportions. Donovan coming to the Galaxy is akin to the Lakers signing Shaq or the Angels signing Vlad Guerrero. Donovan might the best American soccer player, having led Team USA to the quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup, and single-handedly led the San Jose Earthquakes to two MLS......

It's official. Arte Moreno has announced his team will now be called the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Now the Angels have come full circle, after they were originally named the Los Angeles Angels, because they played in the City of Angels. But California Angels never quite worked, and who wants to be called the Anaheim Angels? The name Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim sounds absolutely absurd. But Arte Moreno knows exactly what he's......
