Red Bullied!

Galaxy was back in action yesterday, after a tie with the D.C. United last Sunday. It gave most Galaxy fans a faint glimmer of hope, that this would be the end of a steep downward spiral that the team had recently to be incapable of escaping. After a long string of losses, this tie was somewhat of a welcome relief, and under the management of a new Head Coach, we all hoped for the best. So, going into this game against the New York Red Bulls in their home, we were cautiously optimistic. Even more so when, out of nowhere, Herculez Gomez, managed to put one deep into the New York net. But our joy would be short lived, as two minutes later, the Red Bulls caught Hartman off guard. Now we were tied, but no big deal right?? WRONG!! Just 69 seconds later (69 SECONDS people!), the Red Bulls found the back of our net yet again!! Try as they might, the Galaxy just couldn't find an opening anywhere. (Not to mention the lousy offitiating that was taking place!) The game ends 2-1, Galaxy loses again. Next week the Galaxy is back at the HDC as they welcome the Houston Dynamo. This is the first time these two teams will meet, and hopefully that spells victory for L.A. Go, Galaxy!
