CARSON, Calif. - Mike Magee converted a penalty 5 minutes into the second half, and the Los Angeles Galaxy moved atop the Western Conference with a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night. Magee scored after Rapids centre back Drew Moor was sent off for elbowing Marcelo Sarvas in the face in an off-the-ball incident, a major setback for Colorado after losing starting midfielder Pablo Mastroeni and centre back Diego Calderon to injuries in the first half. The Galaxy (2-0-1) dictated play throughout and outshot Colorado 21-5, but Rapids goalkeeper Clint Irwin, starting in place of injured Matt Pickens, made seven saves, including outstanding stops on teenage forwards Jose Villarreal and Jack McBean. "If were at fault tonight, certainly keeping (Colorado) around for 90 minutes was a flaw in our performance," said Galaxy coach Bruce Arena, whose team gave up a late lead last week against Chivas USA. "I think we had chances to get the second and third goal. Give them credit: They never quit. Their goalkeeper played extremely well. At the end of the game, at least we were solid enough this week to make sure we got the three points." Los Angeles, playing without star striker Robbie Keane and defender Omar Gonzalez — both away on international duty — went young up front with Villarreal and McBean, who came close to scoring several times before Magee netted his MLS-best fourth goal of the season. Villarreal came nearest, forcing a diving save from Clint Irwin after a 3rd-minute corner kick and chipping over the goalkeeper from just outside the box in the 32nd, a shot that was cleared off the goal line by Calderon. The Ecuadorian defender bruised his right quadriceps when he subsequently crashed into the right post. Mastroeni, the Rapids captain making his return from a hamstring injury, limped off in the 27th minute after straining his left quad tackling Los Angeles winger Colin Clark. The game changed when Moor hit Sarvas just below the left eye. Referee Armando Villarreal checked with his linesman before awarding the penalty kick and pulling out the red card, and Moor was already walking off the field when he was ejected. "I have no idea ... I dont know where it came from," Sarvas said. "I didnt say anything to him. He was just walking. I stopped in front of him. I dont know, he probably lost his mind. For sure." Moor called it a "sudden reaction" and said he "kind of moved my arm back in his direction and made contact." "Its not like me," he said. "Im disappointed in myself. Im most disappointed I let my team down because of it, gave away a PK, and they had to play a man down."

He just doesnt want to commit to it. "Its going to be tough for me to guess, because I dont know how Im going to be in two months," the injured left-hander said Thursday. The two-time Cy Young Award winner hasnt pitched in the major leagues since Sept. 2, 2010, 12 days before an operation repaired a torn anterior capsule. He made three minor-league rehabilitation outings totalling eight innings last July 28, Sept. 3 and Sept. 9 and resumed throwing on flat ground about three weeks ago. He threw from about 30 metres about 25 times Thursday and planned to increase the distance to 33 metres in his next session. His goal is to be ready for bullpen sessions when the Mets start spring training workouts Feb. 22. "Im very excited to be here right now. Its been a long process for me," he said. "I cannot tell you whats going to happen in five, six weeks from now because Id be lying to you. Ive got to go one day at a time." When New York takes the field for its opener against Atlanta on April 5, the Mets roster will be much changed from 2010. All-stars Joose Reyes, Carlos Beltran and Francisco Rodriguez have departed, and the payroll has been cut by about US$50 million as the Mets deal with the fallout of three straight losing seasons and the financial troubles caused by the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme.dddddddddddd Reyes left last month for a $106-million, six-year contract with the NL East rival Miami Marlins. "Its kind of tough to see him go, but thats part of the game," Santana said. "Its going to be a learning process for a lot of guys here, but at the same time, were going to compete, were going to play and were going to have fun, because I think thats the key to being successful." Santana is commuting between his home in Fort Myers, Fla., and the Mets training camp across the state in Port St. Lucie. He says his arm feels fine but he wont be able to judge if hes back to his old self until after the stresses of repeated bullpens and spring training outings. "At the end of my rehab last year I felt good. But I also knew, they told me, the doctors told me, that rest was part of my rehab and then I have to shut everything down," he said. "Now we have to start all over again and see where were at." wholesale jerseys china ' ' '
