Angels continue to own the Dodgers

With Friday night's win, the Halos lead the season series against the Dodgers 3-1 with only two games to go, meaning the best the Dodgers can do is tie. We all know the Angels have been better than...

Look where Hurricane Irene is supposed to be on Sunday evening -- right where the Galaxy will be playing the Red Bulls. Obviously, weather can change a lot in five days and I'm no meteorologist. I'm assuming the MLS wouldn't let the Galaxy and Red Bulls play in 85 MPH winds, but how bad do conditions have to be for the match to be postponed? And when could it be made up? The Galaxy already have a packed schedule with the CCL.

OT: Another reason to hate the Yankees

This has nothing to do with the Angels, but I know every good Halo fan hates the Yankees and the Red Sox, so I was inspired to write this. As I'm sure you've heard by now, tonight's Yankees-Rays...

It looks like the Pac-10 isn't the only conference with incompetent referees. Coach Howland's predecessor gets lucky yet again. Related: We're all rooting against St. John's, right? It's amazed me that people are seriously considering Coach Howland's predecessor as a Coach of the Year candidate. UPDATE: NCAA head of officials calls this "unacceptable".

Lorenzo Mata-Real is shown at about 0:15 in this video making a dunk for the Mexican National Team against Uruguay. Unfortunately, that's not why this video has gotten big -- there was a ridiculous brawl in this game, and chairs were thrown. I couldn't find any wrongdoing by Lorenzo in the video (he's a Bruin, we wouldn't expect any), but this video was so bizarre I had to share this with someone else.

Many of us want Pat Cowan to be the starter the rest of the season, but I hadn't actually seen a player say it publicly until I read this: "Yes, Pat should be the starter," said senior wide...
