When I typed it into the Babelfish translator it came back as:

"Take a flying leap you cheeky %#&Y%)#@!"

You need to contact them and tell them to get that thing fixed.

Agreed. If they release Dipsy, I'll have to take a day off of work for mourning....

Robert Scarlett at practice this morning

So are these guys eventual starters? What does our optimal lineup look like now?

There is a possibility but with Rusty looking sharp at practice and Eddie Pope conditioning his ankle... it may be difficult choices ahead for Coach E.

Scarlett is apparently a decent D-Mid so I would not rule him out in that position.
He has some serious wheels to... I was astounded by his bursts of speed today... I can imagine when he is acclimated to the altitude he will be phenomenal.

Gregorio looks sharp as well, a very strong presence.
Cabrera I have yet to see handle ball but he is with the conditioning coach and could possibly be practicing soon.

I can't wait until Coach has a really difficult time deciding who is going to play. That will certainly be a luxury that he hasn't really had up to this point. It will be nice when he gets to pick who is out there rather than putting whoever is left out there.

Things are really starting to look good. I can't wait to see all these guys out on the field together.

[Jose Luis Luviano]

Now we need to trade for Kelly Gray so we can have the Scarlett and Gray.

Fight the team on down the field, show them Ohio's here.
