Why did Kyle Martino not make the trip? Was that Ruud's choice or personal matters.

Thanks... Thanks for providing the roster in Hawaii, right now. Knowing this information keeps all of us (LA Galaxy fans) connected and in-sync with our LA Galaxy team. Galaxy management must... must realize that we fans have time, energy, passion, hope, and expectation invested in this team. It is because we understand and truly feel a part of the greatness and intensity of this sport. But, to put it more bluntly - in terms of sheer finance and economics - we have portions of our own income invested in this team. One must realize that the LA Galaxy labels and displays itself as a first-class premier team... As such, it charges its fans anywhere from $65 - $75 USD per sideline seat at the Home Depot Center. And, being a middle-class, earning & contributing member of the American society... that's money I don't get to keep nor use for anything else. So, it is in the Fans' vested interest to know details and facets of this team... Our LA Galaxy!

We all work hard and pay our debts everyday to be a part of this great American society. What we ask in return is truth, integrity, service, and accountability... because the flip-side to this argument is... if I didn't do what I was supposed to at my job; I wouldn't have a job that would keep me - and, that's the truth!
