The Galaxy took on the visiting Red Bull New York in front of a sold out crowd at The Home Depot Center last night. The home side started out on a furious pace, highlighted by Galaxy forward Alan Gordon putting one into the back of the net only three minutes into the match. However, Gordon was ruled offside and the goal was disallowed. It seemed that the missed opportunity was about to haunt the......

Soccer's version of the classic LA vs. NYC rivalry will be played out this Saturday night at The Home Depot Center in Carson when Red Bull New York pays a visit to the Galaxy. LA comes into this weekend's match riding a three game unbeaten streak, narrowly avoiding a loss in Salt Lake last weekend thanks to an erroneous offside call against the home side.

Lakers 111, Sonics 91 - Seattle had no chance against the surging Lake Show. Kobe was ejected in the third and it didn't matter (double technical after arguing a call -- not a huge deal). LA has won 11 of their last 13 and all but one was on the road. The Lakers got double digit contributions from seven players, led by Pau Gasol's 22. Ducks 6, Blackhawks 3 - This game was all about......

Rockets 88, Clippers 71 - Just as Corey Maggette and Brevin Knight returned from injuries, Sam Cassell went down with one. He's doubtful for Friday. The battered Clippers hung tough with Houston until the 4th quarter when Tracy McGrady helped Houston blow it wide open. Maggette had 21 points in his return, and Chris Kaman led the team with 22 points and 13 rebounds. Los Angeles has now dropped seven of nine after winning the......

Dodgers 5, Rockies 4 - Los Angeles must feel like they dodged a bullet after Thursday night -- not because of Colorado's attempted comeback, but because of all the pitching injuries.

Takashi Saito returned after missing seven games with shoulder trouble, taking the......

When I die I want to go to Austin. I had no business being at the Hi Lo Club Thursday evening when Slash walked on stage to join the southern rock Georgia quartet Blackberry Smoke, but sometimes you're precisely in the right place at the right time. Last year I was working with Buzznet who co-sponsored a few parties with Red Bull as part of their legendary Red Bull House. This year the Red......

Well, it's Red Bulls and vodka for those of you playing the LAist Oscar drinking game. Crash? Really? That was the one nominated film this contributor has seen, and, as Jason observed months ago, that movie featured well-crafted dialogue, but blatant messages more than subtle insight. But it was the cherry on top of the Academy's Sunday of earnest self-congratulation. Awesome: Queen Latifah's genuine exuberance at fellow hip-hoppers Three 6 Mafia winning the Best......
