We won the game. It was not pretty. But Greg thinks we learned a lot.

CoG Studios, CA - We've seen pretty much everything in this 2017 LA Galaxy season. But just when you start to think things can't get any worse, they do. On today's show, your hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter will walk you through some important things to pay attention to after the Galaxy's 3-0 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes. First, they'll discuss the Galaxy's "bad luck" in once again losing players to injury. What effect will it have on the long term health of the team? And what could the Galaxy do to make sure they're not saddled with another injury prone player? Next, the guys will talk about the breaking news that Dominic Kinnear will be joining the club as an assistant coach. But really, the appointment raises more questions than it does concrete answers. Is Kinnear already lining up to take over for Sigi Schmid? Or is this a pairing that can be compared to Bruce Arena and Dave Sarachan - a power couple?! The guys will break down that news and eventually transition to what it means for the stability of the team and how this could be the start of something much bigger -- although unlikely. Josh and Kevin will make sure they answer your calls, your tweets, and your emails while attempting to argue from every side of the topic until they're always right and always wrong. This show is filled with all the tough questions. Who's to blame for the Galaxy's downfall and what happens between now and the offseason that is so important for the long term viability of this team? We've got 90-minutes of Galaxy talk headed your way! Don't miss it. Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory.

CoG Studios, CA - The show today revolves around the LA Galaxy's latest preseason match - a 1-0 loss to rivals, San Jose, in a game that should probably only be remembered for 28-minutes of play from newly acquired João Pedro. But as is customary, your hosts Josh Guesman and LA Times Soccer Writer, Kevin Baxter, will find some other interesting things you should be talking about with all your Galaxy friends. The Galaxy went to Las Vegas, for the second year in a row, and played on a baseball field. The starters went 60-minutes in most cases and the "First Team" continued its streak of not being scored on while also not scoring - that's two games, no goals allowed, no goals for. And while it might not be important about who played in this game, the absences are starting to get louder and louder. Think of the players who haven't played any minutes for the Galaxy yet this preseason and you'll see why our two hosts are once again pointing out the lack of depth at almost every position the Galaxy seem to have. Gyasi Zardes hasn't seen any playing time since a "minor" knee contusion. Robbie Rogers doesn't look like he's seen the training field since sometime in mid-January. And Romain Alessandrini has yet to get a visa and start building chemistry with the rest of the team. Josh and Kevin will discuss these absences and tell you where you should be worried. The guys will also talk about Dave Sarachan's reason for leaving the LA Galaxy, and it's not exactly how you thought it all went down. Have the Galaxy lost some respect amongst players and coaches? Is it important to have a front office who does things the "right way?" Are the Galaxy approaching this wrong? Finally, Josh and Kevin will answer your questions en route to an almost 60-minute show. You wanted more LA Galaxy talk, and we're going to give it you. And don't miss the important tattoo discussion at the end of the show. We'll need your suggestions. It's another great show with some interesting information from two reporters who spend most of their time contemplating this team and figuring out what this season could look like.

And Romain Alessandrini has yet to get a visa and start building chemistry with the rest of the team. Josh and Kevin will discuss these absences and tell you where you should be worried. The guys will also talk about Dave Sarachan's reason for leaving the LA Galaxy, and it's not exactly how you thought it all went down. Have the Galaxy lost some respect amongst players and coaches? Is it important to have a front office who does things the "right way?" Are the Galaxy approaching this wrong? Finally, Josh and Kevin will answer your questions en route to an almost 60-minute show. You wanted more LA Galaxy talk, and we're going to give it you. And don't miss the important tattoo discussion at the end of the show. We'll need your suggestions. It's another great show with some interesting information from two reporters who spend most of their time contemplating this team and figuring out what this season could look like.

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy are still in winter hibernation mode, but your hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas are not. The First show fo the new year has lots to cover. And even inactivity is a reason for some serious contemplation. But to help us kick off a brand new 2017, the show is lucky enough to be joined by former LA Galaxy Associate Head Coach, Dave Sarachan to talk about his departure from the club and where he's landed with the US Men's National Team. But first, your hosts are going to discuss the retirement of 14-year league veteran, Mike Magee. I mean we all have great stories when it comes to Mike Magee, but what did he really mean to the LA Galaxy? And why did Josh have to apologize to him in front of witnesses? Should Mike Magee be listed in the ring of honor next to true LA Galaxy Legends? There are lots of questions to answer when it comes to the his departure and your hosts will discuss it all. Then Dave Sarachan will join Josh to talk about the time he "fought" Steven Lenhart and whether or not he would've taken the job if the LA Galaxy would've offered him the Head Coaching job. And why exactly did Dave leave the team? Finally your hosts reconvene to discuss Jermaine Jones and his high price tag as well as talk about how this team is largely unaffected by all the players that have left the team since November of 2016. Plus Josh will even regail you of some tales of Designated Players and a theory on why Nigel De Jong really left the LA Galaxy. It's a packed show to start 2o17, and we're glad that you could join us! Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory

CoG Studios, CA - Josh Guesman returns from his off-season "break" to fill you in on all the roster movement that has consumed this team over the last three days. And while the departures of Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard may not be anything unexpected, the rumors that are swirling around the LA Galaxy could see a lot more players and coaches leave, before the new season starts. On today's show, Kevin Baxter (@kbaxter11) from the LA Times stops by to lend his expertise in assessing the departures of not only Keane and Gerrard, but also LA Galaxy Associate Head Coach, Dave Sarachan. Josh and Kevin will pay particular attention to that departure in case it signals that Bruce Arena may also be leaving the team to rescue US Soccer. Plus the guys will discuss other names that might be on the chopping block and how important it is for the LA Galaxy to find someone to steer the ship if Arena does decide to leave. Kevin is insightful with his comments as he brings you up to date on everything that he knows regarding this team and the way that information is being passed down. Who could replace Bruce Arena in the head coaching and general manager roles? And who else could the LA Galaxy lean on in terms of smart soccer minds? The guys will discuss everything that has gone on and that is going on in the next few days. And they don't expect it to get any quieter. There are a ton of contract options that need to be picked up or denied. And that news should start to filter out as we get closer to MLS Cup. Thanks for joining us on this special off-season addition. We hope you enjoy the shows and we look forward to talking again very soon. Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory

CoG Studios, CA - We've got another packed show full of LA Galaxy. It was a busy week for an international break, and the team is getting ready for a game against Houston on Sunday. Your hosts will get you prepared for that as well as talk about Steven Gerrard, Robbie Keane and Giovani dos Santos and what their status is for the game. Your hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas are back in-studio to talk about a week off that was anything but peaceful and quiet. News broke this morning that Steven Gerrard was off in Liverpool getting some treatment done on his, once again injured, hamstring. Your hosts will discuss Gerrard's injury and whether or not that should effect the LA Galaxy going into their weekend match. But they'll go deeper than just the Gerrard injury. They'll also talk about Robbie Keane and his likely exclusion from the lineup as well the possibility the Galaxy could be without Giovani dos Santos who's returning from International Duty with Mexico. Then Josh will be joined by LA Galaxy Associate Head Coach, Dave Sarachan. Josh and Dave will discuss the teams' mindset after the loss to Dallas as well what the team thinks about the Houston Dynamo. Should the LA Galaxy expect the same counter-attacking team that nearly undid the Seattle Sounders? Or will Houston just roll over because there is nothing left to play for? Finally, Josh and Wendy get you ready for Houston, talk some Girls Academy, take some calls, and put a bow on a very busy off-week. Your expected lineup will be announced and they'll make predictions that are certain to be wrong. It's another fun, Corner of the Galaxy, and with only two games left in the season, time is running out! Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory
