Kurtis Larson retweeted Vince Alvarado
He's in training. He's an option for Saturday.
Vince Alvarado @VinceByDemand @KurtLarSUN Whatever happened to Simonin?
DO they realize they could trade Edu and get a better grass surface. This might be the ideal time since he's suspended...
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
Kurtis Larson @KurtLarSUN 26m26 minutes ago Bono in training. Roberts not.

Hagglund absent from training today. Will update...
Toronto FC @torontofc 5m5 minutes ago Toronto, Ontario
Altidore: "I'm happy to be back in Toronto. I would say I'm around 80% healthy. I'm getting there." #TFCLive
Toronto FC @torontofc 5m5 minutes ago Toronto, Ontario
Altidore: "Absolutely I'll be ready for Saturday." #TFCLive
Toronto FC @torontofc 52s52 seconds ago Toronto, Ontario Vanney: "Nick Hagglund had his appendix removed last night. We're hoping he has a quick recovery." #TFCLive
An 80% Altidore may be ok for some minutes on Saturday even if just to intimidate their defense for a bit. I bet he hasn't been 100% all season but still managed to put in 6 goals. Wouldn't want him to re-injure himself though either. Hope him and the staff make the right call. Stay out of the game if necessary. I bet he wants to prove Klinsmann wrong about sending him home though so he may push to play.
So we will have Zavaleta and Simonin for sure at CB with Perquis as a question mark and that's it?
This reeks of a Morrow to CB and Creavalle to FB switch/debacle that Vanney loves so much.
Nick Hagglund @Nickismyname 1m1 minute ago Toronto, Ontario Big thanks to staff at @MountSinai You guys are the best! The appendix-less life is great and will only get better! Can't wait to be back!
Dude is on morphine and they let him tweet. His wife should grab his phone and tell him to do his Sudoku from the gift basket he probably got.
While the Gold Cup performance was poor, at least we have at least one defender back...
He's been back for a bit and doesn't seem to figure in Vanney's plans whereas Creavalle is seemingly very important as he always gets squeezed in a match somehow, no matter the circumstances, even if he has a string of poor performances. Seeing that guy trot out and fuck everything up every week must be disheartening to others in the locker room who bust their asses in training and get no shot or who put in good performances (Bloom) and seemingly get tossed aside for the coach's pet.

Hydrate people.
Is Altidore going to start?
Looks like it will be closer to:
--------------------------Bendik--------------------
--Morrow----Zavaleta--Simonin/Perquis--Morgan--
--------------------Cheyrou--------------------------
--Delgado------------------------------Warner------
-------------------Osorio---------------------------
-----Altidore----------------Giovinco-----------------
Maybe Moore/Jackson with Altidore at 60 min.
Hagglund questionable: http://www.torontofc.ca/news/2015/07...pendix-removed
If I had to guess right now, I think Perquis will be able to start with Zavaleta, and Moore will start with Altidore getting 30 minutes off the bench.
I'd be happy with that tomorrow
So I was thinking of coming downtown early afternoon to park by Joe's. Anyone know if parking in Liberty Village will be madness with all the stuff going on at the Ex grounds? I am not worried about the HOV lanes so much to get there since I will have 4 people in the car altogether so it may even help. Expect to get to the area down there around 1:30-2:00 PM. Haven't been down there since all the Pan Am stuff started. I usually park at Lamport when I park in that area.
