Important notes, the injuries:

Injury Update
At Thursday's practice Edson Buddle volunteered his condition before he could be asked and his frustration was evident. "It is not good. It is going to be a couple more weeks. It is so frustrating, I do not want to talk about it."

Later Coach Andrulis verified Buddle's concerns. "It is coming along a little slower than everybody thought. Maybe it was a little worse than we all thought. The original prognosis was 2-3 weeks, but now we are looking at 3-4 weeks.

"The good thing it is early in the season. We can take our time with these kind of things and get it right so it does not bother him the whole season."

Kyle Martino was held out of the competitive scrimmage on Thursday. Coach Andrulis was asked if this is a problem? "He just sat out the very last part of practice. His hamstring has been getting a little bit tight out there and we do not want to rush anything. He has had a good week of practice."

Chad McCarty was back at work this week participating in the competitive parts of practice. He reported that his knee was "a little sore." but "fine." There were no other apparent injury concerns or problems.

Good stuff as usual from Walt. Lord knows Merz didn't pick up on those injuries since he's too busy talking about Dougherty being a goalkeeper coach now.

I guess that's because it didn't come straight off a Crew press release.
