The Galaxy, in its best performance in months, had romped to a three-goal lead over the Columbus Crew in a showdown of Major League Soccer conference leaders. The game, for all intents, was over. Bruce Arena walked over to Beckham, who recounted the conversation before a mob of reporters in L.A.'s locker room after the 3-1 triumph Saturday night at Home Depot Center. “He came up to me and said, 'How about 10-15 minutes? We want to get a good 10-15 minutes,' ” Beckham said. “And I was like, 'Well how about 20-25?' So we went in the middle.” Beckham made his first appearance since rupturing his left Achilles' tendon nearly six months ago. He came on in the 70th minute for Brazilian midfielder Juninho, drawing high-pitched squeals and a standing ovation, and quickly took a shot -- blocked by Crew defender Chad Marshall (Riverside/Rubidoux HS) -- and then picked up a yellow card for a studs-high collision with Emmanuel Ekpo on the sideline between the teams' benches. It's Autumn. Time to let that hair grow a little long behind the ears and have it blow in the wind. Kinda creepy how me and Becks are always on the same page when it comes to style and looking fabulous.
