[MLS] Pat Noonan became the fourth player with more than 140 regular-season appearances to be waived this week as MLS clubs pare their teams down to become compliant with 2010 league regulations. Noonan was waived by Colorado, which had picked him up from Columbus last summer. He had enjoyed a succesful stint at New England but never regained his form after returning from a short stay in Norway.
