QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 01:58 PM) We COULD call up 15 players, right? Technically more. You can call up to 40, so if you had anyone on the 60 day DL you could go beyond that I believe At least I think, I could be wrong

So a friend and i just got 6 tickets to the Notre Dame - Navy game in Dublin, Ireland next Labor Day. Not sure if i'm gonna actually be able to go yet but i figured if i cant i'll just sell the ticket. His dad has a pretty high rank in the military so he had early access to the tickets so that's why we had to jump on them. That could be quite the experience for sure

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 01:27 PM) The number of call ups we see on the 1st could tell us a lot about what direction we are going in 2012... I'm guessing we'll see Viciedo, Reed, Infante and Danks, Maybe Santiago or Escobar

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 11:19 AM) LIke it or not Stewart is going to be in the rotation moving forward. The org looks at him as a Jon Garland-type guy. I don't think that is a bad thing. He obviously wasn't great last time but it's evident he has talent. If he can turn into Jon Garland for cheap that would be fine.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) Also, I think the discussions about Peavy on this board have been psychotic. Seems most people either thought he'd come back and be JFP, or would never come back to form and was basically done. Seemed obvious to me that what happened is what should have been expected. Like any pitcher after major surgery, first year back is basically just getting your arm back, and pitching mediocre. It is the 2nd season after, when they usually get their form back. Look for Peavy to be back to, or nearly, the JFP we traded for, in 2012. And yes you can quote me on that. Couldn't be more right though

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 04:50 PM) Does anyone know the rules about Chandler? If he plays in a friendly for USA can he not go back and eventually play for the German team, or is it only if its a real match? It has to be a sanctioned match, so Gold Cup, WCQ, Confed Cup or World Cup would qualify him for the US. Or conversely any Euro match or qualifier would tie to him Germany. Friendlies do not tie the player to the national side. They are still allowed one change. See Jermaine Jones for example

Roster posted for the Costa Rica and Belgium friendlies: Goalkeepers: Tim Howard, Bill Hamid Defenders: Carlos Bocanegra, Edgar Castillo, Timmy Chandler, Steve Cherundolo, Clarence Goodson, Zach Loyd, Michael Orozsco Fiscal, Heath Pearce, Tim Ream Midfielders: Kyle Beckerman, Clint Dempsey, Maurice Edu, Fabian Johnson, Sacha Kljestan, Jeff Larentowicz, Robbie Rogers, Brek Shea, Jose Torres Forwards: Teal Bunbury, Jozy Altidore, Juan Agudelo, Landon Donovan Disappointed at some of the names not there. Would have liked to see Adu again most of all but also Davies, Diskerud and Josh Gatt would have been nice. Also too bad Lichaj isn't here. Bradley not being there is fine, I don't think anyone will be looking in to it at all. I'm guessing he's keeping him off so he can focus on getting his current club situation handled. I don't really think Beckerman or Larentowicz fit into long term plans so their inclusion is curious. And maybe it's just me but i'm sick of Kljestan in the USMNT lineups. I am excited to see Shea as well as Bunbury. And having Jozy (who's on fire right now) along with Agudelo will be interesting to see how they're used together (if at all). And pulling in Fabian Johnson is big as it appears he really will be switching national teams as previously rumored.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) I'm guessing the meathead give 110% country boy bulls*** he spews every chance he gets. I guess I just don't see how that at all makes him, or anyone, a douchebag

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 02:38 PM) Via Rotoworld: "In an effort to avoid Hurricane Irene, Sunday's game has been moved to 1:05 p.m. ET on Saturday. For those keeping score, that means the Marlins will have three doubleheaders in the span of six days." Only a few hundred people will notice

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 01:33 PM) I've always felt Peavy has hated playing for the Sox, and really I can't blame him now. He's a douche, but this organization sucks right now. So I hope he finishes strong next year or gets traded mid-season, and smell ya later. Based on what exactly? I'd love to hear this

That's great of Weaver and really speaks to his character but I'm surprised the players union allowed or it or at least didn't try and act like a detriment.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 04:23 PM) sox are not trading for thome Thank god

Samuel Eto'o is now the highest paid athlete in sports. Almost 30 million (US$) per year to sign with some middling Russian club. Shame his talents are going to be wasted for the next three years

Congrats to Paulie. A real shame his great season is going to be wasted. Hopefully he can go on a little run here and get to 400 before the season ends as well

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) I was on a conference call with people in NJ and NYC, and they suddenly said the building is shaking, and all jumped off. At first I thought maybe some sort of attack. Sort of odd, a few hours earlier, there was a quake in southern Colorado that was the strongest that state has had in like 40 years. Coincidence? Not unless Gaddhafi unleashed some sort of earthquake causing secret weapon as his farewell act

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 02:17 PM) Someone claimed Wandy Rodriguez... With his contract & the Astros need to save money, I wonder if they would just hand him over for free, Alex Rios style I saw that and my first thought was please god don't be the white sox.

It was felt in NYC and upstate NY but I somehow missed it despite almost everyone in my office not missing it. I kind of feel left out
