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.

Here’s the latest image:

I’m no expert, but it looks like the “Sunday Eve” line has moved further north, meaning if it stays on course towards NYC area, it hits earlier on Sunday than “Eve”.

yeah I don’t know. Looks like we’re gonna have to play this one by ear.

Game has been postponed to Oct. 4

From the mlssoccer.com story:

New York Red Bulls vs. LA Galaxy (at Red Bull Arena)
NOW: Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 8:00 p.m. ET (ESPN2, ESPN Deportes)
WAS: Sunday, Aug. 28 at 7:00 p.m. ET (ESPN2, ESPN Deportes)

Looking at the Galaxy schedule, this also means nine matches in a span of 30 days from Sept. 5 to Oct. 4. Yikes.
