That is not a good list to see.

I'm not so sure about MLS, but in NFL, "Questionable" usually translates to about a 60% chance of being ready to play the next game. Of course, that varies from team to team. I'm sure we'll all be interested to follow progress on DJ and Clint throughout the week.

On another note, I'm wondering if Clint coming out early was a blessing in disguise. A call like that PK awarded yesterday certainly would have resulted in Clint running over to argue his way into another yellow...

Also, I guess the league got rid of the "GK 4th substitution clause"? Anyone know what I'm talking about?

On the bright side we probably get to find out how good Jay Nolly is.
He has looked good in practice and his equipment it definately to big for Brian Kamler.

Yeah, it does look like they got rid of it -- I remember hearing some complaining about it a while back (can't remember if it was last season or the season before) but I didn't realize they'd actually scrapped it.

So if DJ can't go and Noah Palmer is out; I sure hope that Chad Sackett still has his gloves handy.

C'mon RSL!

Get it together and get an insurmountable lead next weekend so that Chad can come in injury time!

Hey folks, I caught about 20 minutes of practice today! It was inside so no pics.

New information on Countess and Mathis.

Countess is still in California where he had an MRI this morning, the team is awaiting results.
Word from Trey is that "Countess is in good spirits and will most likely not miss any matches".

Mathis suffered what he explained as an injury similar to a dead leg. A nerve seemed to be pinched and it caused his leg to go numb.
He was not dressed for practice

The team over all seemed to be practicing harder than normal. more aggressively attacking the net. it was nice to see that and I hope it translates to the pitch.

If DJ is still in California then I'm seeing things.

I was up at the U this morning and I could have sworn I saw him. Maybe I need to get my meds checked again 😉

I was there and i did not see him.
Well I didn't see you either so what does that tell you?
Anyway I got that from two sources that he was still in California...

I suppose that maybe we should start having DJ sightings now since nessie has gone into hiding!
:D
