09/11/2007 - Washington, D.C. (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - D.C. United forward Luciano Emilio earned his third Major League Soccer Player of the Week award Tuesday after scoring four goals in two games last week.
Emilio had two goals in a 2-2 tie with Chivas USA on Thursday, then added two more goals in a 4-2 win over New England on Sunday.
He is the first United player to ever win the award three times in one season. He was also honored for weeks 11 and 18.
United players have won six of the 23 weekly awards this year. Ben Olsen (two) and Nicholas Addlery (one) have also won for D.C. this season.
Emilio leads MLS with 18 goals this season. He already has two more goals than Jeff Cunningham had for Real Salt Lake last year to lead the league.
The MLS record for most goals in a year is 27, set by Tampa Bay's Roy Lassiter in 1996.
D.C. (14-6-4) has a four-point lead over New England in the Eastern Conference and is also four points in front of Houston for the best record in MLS. United is 14-3-4 since starting the year with three straight losses.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
