September call-ups still have to be on the 40-man roster, which is currently full, so it's very likely that the September call-ups will be limited to players that have already seen time with the Sox at some point this season. My guesses are Santiago, Danks, Axelrod, Morel, and maybe Marinez. I don't see anybody the Sox would be willing to DFA in order to bring up Johnson, Jackson, or Lopez. They can move Bruney to the 60DL so that would open one spot.

I had the volume down on the mlb.tv broadcast because I needed to have the volume up on the Weather Channel on TV because we were getting very severe storms at the time, so I saw that there was some kind of delay but didn't know what it was. Is there any confirmation that the guy actually died?

I know that for a fact to not be true--at least not before Brian Kelly. Stanford, Northwestern, and maybe Vanderbilt are the only schools who don't have at least a few players that ND would not touch.

Well, ND has hired Brian Kelly and changed their uniforms. Might as well join a conference and start recruiting thugs and destroy the rest of what made us special.

Based on this story, the disappearance of that DA, and other stuff that's been written about this story, I have no doubt that Sandusky is just the tip of the iceberg and that this probably involves some very powerful people in the world of politics and organized crime. That also probably means that we will never see true justice.

Yes, they will block it out in LaSalle even though you won't be able to get the game on TV. Sorry.

Well, the Red Sox are currently 6th in the Wild Card standings, so MLB is probably looking into expanding to 6 WC teams per league in 2013.

I think if you marry a woman who spells her name 'B R I T T N I' then you should not be shocked to see her on a sex tape at some point.

I hope we're better at following Rule number 1 than these people:

There's only one Don Cooper, and he doesn't work for the Nats.

So, it's a tie game with two runners on with Dunn up and Toronto's manager pulls a lefty starter and puts in a righty reliever that Dunn has taken deep before. Does he have something against the Tigers??

This would make jury duty more interesting: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/08/15/texas...test=latestnews

If the Giants have a rainout that isn't made up, he would then qualify.

If they move him to the 60DL that would open up a 40spot in case the Sox make a waiver move.

Calling a poster an idiot is not allowed, sir.

Also, MLB Network game for Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. In fact, in a 9-game stretch from 8/11 to 8/19, they are/were on MLB Network 4 times, ESPN 3 times, and FOX 1 time.

Only about the first 3 or 4 were nail biters. Since then they've pretty much been finger biters.

Is it just me, or do those two statements seem to be contradictory?

I think we finally figured out why their games start at 7:07 instead of 7:05--they have two national anthems to play!!

Exactly how close do you live, and do you have a parking space? I'd think people would buy you a $20 ticket in exchange for use of your parking spot.

Another shooting spree, this time at Texas A&M. No word yet on injuries or fatalities, but the shooter is in custody. KBTX confirms one law enforcement official dead and at least six others with injuries. Update: Local police confirm that one civilian dead in addition to one law enforcement official.
