Cubs have $8,352,200 in draft pool money (and if they don't mind paying a a 75% tax on $417,600, they can go up to $8,769,810).
Players in bold have allegedly signed. Anyone after the 10th round signed for over $100K counts against their draft money as well.
If the player has yet to sign or there's no media report on the bonus, the third column is the recommened slot money.
Currently the Cubs have paid $8,754,000 out and have $15,810 of their draft pool money left before having to worry about losing draft picks.

We've been meaning to do this most of the offseason, but I think we've finally settled on a date. So Sunday, February 22nd at 9PM CST, we're going to gather in Parachat and watch the Kerry Wood 20K game. We know a lot of you own the Chicago Cubs DVD set and that's what most of us will be watching. I believe they showed the game on MLB Network recently, so maybe you Tivo'd it. Considering we normally have people watching from various different feeds during the season, we'll figure out how to sync it up to everyone's satsifaction. If you don't have access to the game and want to partake in the festivities, drop a note in the comments and I think we can work out something.
So come join us and get your Parachat fix on, Transmission will be doing one of his game recaps. I believe it's Oscar night as well, so that should give us some good material as well.
UPDATE: One of our dear readers points out that you can purchase the game from Itunes for about $2.
More fun after the jump...

Maybe we can get Sean Marshall back. Hamilton could probably move to 2b if a CF is easier for them. Otherwise Utley and Zobrist should be available before they start slumming it.
The team told fans and Lakeview neighborhood residents in an email Thursday evening that it plans to finish installing new seating, group terraces, outfield signs and lighting, including the new left-field video board, by Opening Day 2015.
Bryant with a confirmed crushed HR to left tonight in Omaha. Long, high fly ball just ~50 feet bigger than the field of play. Also 2 throwing errors....both times ball hit right down the line and pulled him into foul territory...came up firing...high/wide.
Brandon Phillips out 6 weeks for the Reds. Any chance they'd want to corner the market on recent Gold Glove 2nd basemen?
C. Headley HR off Kershaw, ends scoreless streak at 41 IP I believe
Tom Tunney with some serious Cubbery. Seriously, though, I don't know what all went on behind the scenes, but this is the best possible outcome for the Cubs- they appeared to be reasonable and tried to work with the neighborhood and the neighborhood came across as unreasonable.
Capt Happy-"Alacantara! congrats you're staying up in the show!"
Alcantara-"Thanks skip, I'm looking forward to helping the team and getting at b.."
Capt Happy interupts-"Good, good...oh Mike? show the kid where to sit on the bench so I can't see or hear him"
Olt shuffles over- "Follow me"

Soler with an alleged crushed HR to center tonight
wouldn't that be neat...
Best comp for Kyle Hendricks is a young Doug Fister.
No reason not to keep Arismendy Alcanatara on the MLB 25-man roster after Barney returns.
The Cubs won't need a 4th starter again until Tuesday 7/22 and they won't need a 5th starter again until Saturday 7/26, so Kyle Hendricks should be sent back down when Barney is reinstated, just like Dallas Beeler was optioned back to Iowa to make room for Hendricks. Then Hendricks and Wada can be recalled when 4th and 5th starters are needed again in a couple of weeks.
I watched this live and three replays and he was safe by this year's revised rules. However, Ricky is going to have learn that getting tossed twice in the same series and bitching about the strike zone from the dugout every inning is not going to buy your team any close calls as he's not Torre/Cox/LaRussa.
Bernstein seems to have Cubs source that's pretty wired in and his predictions have so far been proven spot on. Rooftop owners probably need to realize Plan A (threats) and Plan B (offering 2 sign settlement) failures are leading to Plan C -- settle with Cubs or try to sell property.
Looks like the rooftops over played their hand. Not much leverage to negotiate with.
landmark commission approved Cubs revised signage plan...7 new signs. I'm lost at where it's at, but word be they have meeting with rooftop owners tomorrow to try and settle something and get started. Dan Bernstein claiming on twitter they've already ordered materials and won't wait for rooftop owners if they can't agree on something.

Weatherford College has announced the return of longtime basketball coach Mark Osina to WC's Athletic Department. Osina is now serving as interim head men's basketball coach, replacing Larry Holman, who resigned to pursue other opportunities.
"For me, having Mark back is a blessing," Weatherford College women's basketball head coach McKinley said. "I trust him right off the bat with responsibility in game planning, workouts, discipline, or anything else that comes up. It's good to have him back at WC."
Osina began coaching at WC in 1991, initially as assistant coach under McKinley, eventually moving to head men's coach.
During Osina's years as head coach, the Coyotes won six conference championships, a regional championship, and a national third-place finish in the 1999 NJCAA tournament. He was named Conference Coach of the Year three times and was a finalist for National Coach of the Year.
He left Weatherford in 2008 to take an assistant coaching job at Mercer University, an NCAA Division I program in Macon, Georgia. He returned to the Parker County area recently and took the position of athletic director for the Millsap ISD.

Eric Keitz, a junior, knows how important it is for people to donate blood to those who desperately need it. His two great uncles, who have leukemia, and father, who has multiple sclerosis, have had to get a number of blood transfusion over the years.
"I know it can make a difference because people all over are in need of blood transfusions, and the holding the blood drive will get more blood into circulation which will help people who need it," he said.
As part of his Eagle Scout project, Eric will hold a blood drive this Saturday, April 7 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Yorktown Heights Fire Department headquarters.
"Blood drives are so important because one hour of your time can help save a life, it's free and one of the easiest ways to make a difference," Eric said.
Eric has been a boy scout since second grade and has been working on his Eagle Scout project for almost a year. His mother Marybeth Keitz said he has been working "really hard" on getting it done.
"I always knew his Eagle project would be to help someone who was sick because my husband suffers from Multiple Sclerosis and has been disabled for most of Eric's life," she said. "This has impacted him in a positive way, I think, because it has taught him compassion. He is a very caring, loving young man."
The second part of Eric's Eagle project is finding non-fire hydrant water sources in Yorktown.
"There are many streets in Yorktown without fire hydrants, but they do have streams and other water sources," Eric said. "Once they are identified, we will be placing signs near the water source to help the fire department and other departments find the source easier to make the process of getting water in case of emergency."
Finding alternative water sources would make it easier for the Yorktown fire department, as well as the mutual aid departments to fight a fire should it be in an area where there is no nearby fire hydrant.
"It will save precious time knowing where there is water nearby," his mother said. "This phase of the project will be completed after the blood drive."
She added she and her husband are "very proud" of their son's efforts and hope the blood drive will be a successful one.
"What better gift is there to give someone than to offer the gift of life," Marybeth Keitz said.

NORMAN — Moore Norman Technology Center will join a rapidly growing list of education facilities across the United States that support and have in place a tobacco-free campus policy.
Starting July 1, all high school and adult students, clients, conference attendees, visitors, vendors, staff and administration on MNTC's Franklin Road Campus, South Penn Campus or the Business Development Center are prohibited from using a tobacco-based product of any kind on campus grounds or its extended property. This new policy also extends to include simulated tobacco products as a prohibited item.
Smoking has been banned inside MNTC's buildings for many years, but the adoption of this new policy includes the extended campus grounds and MNTC will remove all dedicated smoking areas from its properties.
MNTC's school board is dedicated to providing a healthy, comfortable and productive environment for staff, students and citizens. As a concern for the health of all who attend classes, conferences or training, or who work or are visitors to any MNTC campuses, the board will discourage the use of tobacco products.
"A policy like this promotes an overall healthier workplace; smoking and tobacco negatively affects not only the people using the products but also our students and staff. As an Oklahoma Certified Healthy Business, we want to support Gov. Fallin's effort for a healthier Oklahoma, and that includes doing what we can to provide a healthy work place and environment for everyone," said Nunu Ruttman, MNTC HR benefits and training specialist.
In Fallin's 2013 State of the State Address, she proposed the continual development of an "Oklahoma Plan" that focuses on improving the health of citizens, lowering the frequency of preventable illnesses like diabetes and heart disease, and improving access to quality and affordable health care.
"Any plan to improve the health of Oklahomans must address the state's number one killer: tobacco. The use of tobacco products costs Oklahomans more than $2 billion in health care costs and lost work force productivity annually," Fallin said. "Almost 6,000 Oklahomans die each year due to smoking-related illnesses. That includes both of my parents.
"My father died from a smoking-related illness when he was younger than I am today. This year, I am supporting a proposal to restore local control to cities and towns regarding tobacco use in public places. The implications for health can be enormous."

For the past few years, the Dallas Cowboys have been flip-flopping between San Antonio and Oxnard, CA for their annual summer training camp. This year, they will split their camp in half, going between both locations. Here is the schedule and info you need for the San Antonio portion of this year's camp.
Practice Prices
FREE to the public, but parking will cost you $10 at the Alamodome. There may be parking available in area neighborhoods but that will require a long trek to the Alamodome in what could be stifiling heat by the end of July. Plan accordingly, and if you plan to get near the front, go early. It's first come, first seated after they let the VIPs in.
VIP Tickets
Like last year, local radio station KXTN will be giving away VIP passes for the kickoff event on July 23rd. Please follow them on Twitter ( @KXTN) for updates as to when they will be giving away these passes. A VIP pass gets you in early with free food and drink and prime seating for the kickoff event.
Kickoff Concert and Pep Rally
July 23, 2010, start time TBA
The Cowboys will arrive here in San Antonio on July 23rd with a special kickoff concert and pep rally to be held at the Alamodome, where their practices will also take place. So far, the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders have been confirmed. I will update this entry when specific players and musical acts have been confirmed.
This event is free and open to the public, however there are some VIP tickets that include some freebies available from KXTN. See the entry right above this one for that info.
Player Autographs and Merchandise
Some players may stay for a few short minutes after practice to sign autographs. In order to be one of the lucky few to get one, you will want to get there early for prime seating. The best area is generally the sidelines and end zones along the north side of the Alamodome. Generally, players sign for about 5-10 minutes and will usually only sign one item per person to get to as many as possible--so don't be greedy!
Doors generally open about 45 minutes before the start of each pratice. If you aren't already in line. you will likely miss your chance for prime seating and autographs.
There will be lots of official merchandise in tents and tables in and around the Alamodome. Bring your wallets!
First Day of Practice
July 24th, 2:15 p.m.
The first practice of camp will be on July 24th, with just one afternoon practice beginning at 2:15 p.m. Players may be available for a very short time after practice for autographs, as described in the "Player Autographs and Merchandise" section of this article.
The Rest of the ScheduleSaturday, July 24th, 2:15 p.m.
Sunday, July 25th, 9:00 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.
Monday, July 26th, 2:15 p.m.
Tuesday, July 27th, 9:00 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.
Wednesday, July 28th, 9:00 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.
Thursday, July 29th, 2:15 p.m.
Friday, July 30th, 2:15 p.m.
Saturday, July 31st, 9:00 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.
Sunday, August 1st, 9:00 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.
Monday, August 2nd, 2:15 p.m.
Tuesday, August 3rd, 9:00 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.
Wednesday, August 4th, 2:15 p.m.
Thursday, August 5th, 9:00 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.
Friday, August 6th, 9:00 a.m.

This was delicious! I used regular not quick cooking oats for the crust and that didn't work out that well so next time I'll get quick oats or premade crust but the filling was perfect. For the reviewer who's pie didn't set - whipping the whipping cream before folding it in is an important step, it won't set if you don't do that. I will definitely make this again.
Bad name, great pie. It got raves at our Thanksgiving dinner. I followed the recipe exactly as written and found that the amounts were just right. Thank you for sharing....but PLEASE change the name! I like Toffee Cream Pie as suggested by another reviewer.
Jeremy's Personal Chef
Absolutely wonderful! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. Everyone loved the combination of the oatmeal crust with the toffee-like filling. I think I shall call this recipe Toffee Cream Pie. Too many people associate the "Butterscotch" flavor with Jell-O pudding. This recipe tastes nothing like that!

Poll: What was your favorite moment of the first half?By
Every year, there are certain moments in the season that remind us just why baseball is the greatest game on Earth, and this year is no different. Sure, lots of us take this silly game far too seriously, but that's only because we love it so much. We're lucky to be fans of the greatest franchise in sports history, as the Yankees give us more great memories than we can handle at times.
With the second half set to begin tomorrow, I figured now was the best time to see what everyone's favorite moment of the first half was. Here's a few of the highlights:
May 8th: Alex Rodriguez homers on the first pitch after coming off the DL (video)
After a winter of self-inflicted controversy and a spring of injury, Alex Rodriguez returned to the Yankees lineup in Baltimore and promptly stepped to the plate with runners on first and second and only one out. In a scene straight out of a novel, A-Rod took Jeremy Guthrie's first pitch and deposited it into the left field stands, reminding everyone in baseball what he's capable of. They were the only runs the team would need that day, as they skated to a 4-0 win.
May 15th: Brett Gardner's inside-the-park homer (video)
After visiting a children's hospital earlier in the day and receiving a bracelet from a young girl who told him he would hit a home run if he kept it, Brett Gardner stepped to the plate in the 7th with the Yankees trailing the Twins 4-1. He'd entered the game in the 4th inning after Johnny Damon was thrown out for arguing balls and strikes, and blooped Jesse Crain's 0-2 pitch into shallow left field. The ball squibbed past Denard Span and rolled all the way into the corner as Gardner raced around the bases for the Yankees first inside-the-park homer since Ricky Ledee did the honors back in 1999. The homer helped propel the Yankees to a 5-4 walk-off win.
June 1st: Joba Chamberlain's belly flop double play in Cleveland (video)
After allowing the first two runners to reach base via a walk and single, Joba Chamberlain faced Indians' catcher Kelly Shoppach with no outs in the 5th inning of a 1-1 game. Joba's first two pitches were outside, and Shoppach squared around to bunt the runners into scoring position. He made contact on the third pitch but bunted it straight up and toward third base. Joba hustled off the mound and laid out almost in slow motion to make the catch, then jumped to his feet and fired the ball to second base to double off the runner there. The Indians wouldn't score in the inning, and the Yankees walked away with a 5-2 win in one of Joba's best starts of the season.
June 12th: Yankees walk off with a win when Luis Castillo drops the ball (video)
Having lost their last three games, the Yankees came into the bottom of the ninth against the Mets down a run in a see-saw, back-and-forth affair. The Mets brought in their shiny new closer to lock it down, and K-Rod retired Brett Gardner before allowing a single to Derek Jeter. Jeter stole second when Johnny Damon struck out, and the Mets opted to walk the molten-hot Mark Teixeira and face A-Rod. After working himself into a hitter-friendly 3-1 count, A-Rod popped K-Rod's 28th pitch of the night up toward shallow right for an easy out. Except the out was never made because Castillo dropped the ball. Teixeira crossed home because he hustled around the bases, and the Yanks walked away winners in the most improbable fashion.
June 28th: Mariano Rivera walks with the bases loaded for his first career RBI (video)
With his team up by one and rallying for more in the top of the ninth, Mariano Rivera came to the plate for just the third time in the regular season in his career. The bases were loaded with two outs, but K-Rod's first two pitches were outside. The next two were over the plate and Mo spoiled a third before taking the sixth pitch high for a full count. K-Rod's 31st pitch of the night was again high, and Mariano took first base on a walk, picking up his first career RBI in the process. It's almost an afterthought that he stuck around to pick up his 500th career save in the bottom half of the inning.
Those are just some of the highlights of the first half. Vote on your favorite below, but if you think another moment was the best of the first half – maybe Nick Swisher's relief apperance, or AJ Burnett's Immaculate Inning, or one of Melky Cabrera's various walk-off hits – use the "Add an Answer" button to write in your own favorite moment.

Francisco Cervelli's first career Homerun has essentially changed this entire season. This team has been very very different since that moment.
sorry mike, i had to add the francisco cervelli answer to the poll
Wait…did AJ have a three-pitch inning?
Joba's bellyflop was maybe the best play I've ever seen by a pitcher. Can anybody really think of a better one? Rivera made a similar play like ten years ago, but I think Joba's was better.
I was disappointed that I didn't see it on any of the "Best Plays of the first half" shows on MLBN/ESPN, because I thought it was better than most of the plays that got on there.
It was number 7 on sportscenter.
HAD to vote for the A-Rod HR.
It was an impossible moment. It turned our whole season around.
That was the HR Joe Dimmaggio would have hit in the same situation. The type that rallies the troops and makes them think that thing are different now that A-Rod's back.
I voted for Mo's walk because Mo makes everything awesome, but I think the best moment of the year so far was Derek Jeter's face on his at bat prior to Mo's after the first pitch was actually near the strike zone
I think Jeter's face there is easily one of the best moments of the decade!!
mine, had i noticed icould add one before i voted for the walkoffs, would be arod totaly being clutch this year, which is awesome.
I think Kay was saying that most of Arod's hr have come after something like the 5th inning when the run differential was 2 or less. plus he has had huge hr, that go ahead double in boston, and is seeming to finally just do it.
A-Rod has been incredibly clutch this year.
I agree but nobody has been more clutch than Melky.
You Clutchy Clutchbrera?
You *mean* Clutchy Clutchbrera.
The first pitch A-Rod HR was just so fitting and awesome. Nothin comes close to that because of all the backstory that came with it IMO.
I just could not believe it when I saw it. One of those thing we'll be telling people about years from now.
I think I'm the Guest that voted for the 3 walk-offs vs. the Twins. It brought me back to the late 90′s, early 2000′s. But I could be swayed towards almost every one of these.
Mo's walk because it was just so darned unlikely.
You're right. Cause we all expected a grand slam, but Mo heard K-Rod praying for mercy on the mound and decided to give it to him.
I was expecting Mo to hit a five run HR but was not surprised to see K-Rod pitch around him.
When I saw the title of the post, "Poll: What was your favorite moment of the first half?" I didn't even have to look at the poll choices. After months mired in controversy, Al comes back from hip surgery and pulls the first pitch he sees out of the park. He sparked a fire in this team and we've been on a roll ever since.
The belly flop was an amazing play but not my favorite moment, same with Mo's milestone night.
what about the day they DFAed Angel Berroa?
Angel who? I forgot he existed.
He's probably at a reunion game right now for the surviving members of the Brooklyn Superbas.
Nope, he's playing for the Mets.
Saw him playing for the Cyclones (on TV) last night.
The Mets minor league team?
My God, they are SO desperate.
Cyclones v Mets…who would win that game right now?
It's sort of like AA vs. AA…and AA I guess would still win.
A for the Mets is like my job's softball league.
Make that AAA vs. AA and AA would still win I guess.
Actually, Brooklyn is short-season A … not that that guarantees a Mets win by any means.
Oh, never mind…like you said, that would still be a great game.
i thought you were implying that they stack up brooklyn with intentions of winning the nypl?
The Cyclones, they're tearing up that league.
Arod's first pitch BLAST.
For a few moments as he rounded those bases Arod silenced every single hater out there. For everyone who thought Arod was no longer worthy to be counted among the game's elite, that shot was Arod's retort: NAILS BITCHES>.
The Twins Walkoffs was where my vote went. I was at a couple of those games though – so I maybe biased because of that. That Mauer-Gardner race to the plate on the Sunday game was one of the more exciting plays of the year (even though it didn't work out for the Yanks – imagine if it had – FTW!).
Walkoff weekend was pretty cool.
I'm going to ask: could someone undecided please add Tex's diving play to save the game in the 8th on the third day of walkoff weekend?
I love how we've just named it "Walk Off Weekend"
But that was amazing.
My friend–from Boston and a die-hard Sox fan–was visiting me that weekend, and we watched the end of each game…
One of my friends flew to NY for business and got tickets to the third game. Lucky.
Walkoff weekend was excellent, and included the Gardner inside the park job.
I almost voted for Gardner's inside-the-park homer, but I thought I was being unduly influenced by the fact that I was there.
So I went with Mo's 500th. It was such a nice moment.
I almost went with the Castillo drop because I was there. I'm sure being there made it 50x greater moment then it was on TV.
It was pretty cool on TV too…
I had to write-in the ARod home run off of Brad Lidge. Not only because I love the guy, but the resounding foot-in-mouth feeling that resulted afterward for the relentless detractors made me jizz in my pants.
Arods first pitch hr should go down as one of the best moments in all of baseball in 2009
I agree.
Just totally magical.
Also often forgotten is that A-Rod's walkoff HR was the first hit he got in NYS.
of many!
I think the A-Rod homer on the first pitch was one of my favorite regular season moments of all time. So much pressure, so much tension, so much attention on the at-bat. The team had lost five in a row. Wondering where the season was going to go.
Then Guthrie thorws a 97(!) MPH fastball on the inside corner. And A-Rod turns on it. Seriously, has there ever been a more emphatic "WE'RE BACK, BABY!!!" moment that early in the season? Then CC goes out and throws a complete game shutout. When that game ended, the season began.
I always referred to that as opening day II.
Luis Castillo dropping the ball is one of my favorite regular season wins of all time.
Yeah I tried to add that one and vote for it but it didn't work:
Lous Castillo's dropped ball – HE DROPPED THE BALL!!!!!
- That was some funny suff.
Whenever I'm feeling blue, I watch that video and I cheer up.
How many many times do you think the average Met fan in NY has heard: 1) He dropped the ball!!! 2) E4 3) How bout that Castillo? …my guess 50 per each above.
I was at that game, Mets fans were being rowdy and obnoxious, and then bam the swing in emotion on that one play was amazing.
Were there tears?
You know what?
How frickin' awesome is it that we have this many moments to choose from?
This first half has been a blast, sucky Red Sox moments nowithstanding.
The most exciting play of the 1st half (for all of baseball) was the Gardner / Mauer play.
The result of the play sucked for the Yanks, but they won the game anyway. So that's my vote.
But I voted for the 3 walk offs vs the Twinkies.
Tex robbbing the Twins with the bases loaded! Come on that play was also SICK.
By default I had to vote for Melky, I was at that game.
My vote is for Mo striking out Manny to win Game 7 of the world series and clinch the Yankees 27th championship.
Wait, that hasn't happened yet????
It will, so that's still my vote.
I kind of like Tex robbing Manny with the bases loaded.
But yours is cool.
Damn, I cant choose. So many great moments.
I think I'll go with A-rod's season opener.
I wound up chosing Gardner inside the park. That play just built and built. Screaming on that one.
A-Rod first pitch back HR would have been the choice right after.
God, every time I thought I had one, I scrolled down and saw another.
One thing that I don't think I'll ever forget, though, is Jeter's face when they brought, I think it was Cervelli, to the on-deck circle to try and trick the Mets into thinking they were going to Pinch-Hit Mo in the 9th.
That whole situation, seeing the best closer of all-time versus the supposed best closer now. Just not something you see very often, closer vs. closer.
And of course, the end result was just allsome.
Jeter's face there was just BRILLIANT
Seriously, only Met haters would vote for the Mo walk and Castillo drop ball. Those aren't accomplishments that Yankee fan should be proud of. It's gotta be the 3 consecutive walk offs, first at bat hr by Arod, or 2 out tying hr by Arod against Lidge.
I am a Met hater, so I am not offended at all by what you wrote.
I didn't vote for it but…This is talking about moments, not accomplishments. You gotta admit, that Castillo dropped fall was one of the best moments in baseball HISTORY.
I'm sorry, I must've missed the poll that told us to vote for the moment that made us most "proud" as Yankee fans. That dropped pop up was historic, as was the walk to Mariano, and both came against the cross-town rivals. Whether you think they're big games or not, most Yankee and Met fans in the city have fun with the bragging rights aspect of the Subway Series. Just because they weren't necessarily great accomplishments for the Yankees doesn't mean they weren't memorable moments this season that Yankee fans were able to enjoy.
Exactly, though you could argue Mo's walk was an accompishment as he took like 5-6 pitches despite almost never batting and most pitchers would hack away at every pitch.
True, but he probably had explicit instructions to avoid swinging after he went against coaching orders in Atlanta. I put about 95% of the blame on K-Rod for that walk, but I'll give Mo 5% credit, just b/c it's Mo. Normally, I'd say it's 100% on the pitcher.
But he DID swing, he just fouled it off.
Oh yea, you're right. OK, maybe Mo gets a little more credit for his good eye.
Nady Nation…I feel bad for your guy…
Yea, me too. I'm keeping the name though to pay homage to X's great tenure here in NY.
He did a good job here, definitely.
Your right, those were definitely great moments. I utterly enjoyed ragging on my Met friends about the ineptitude of their players, but to me, that didn't compare to the sheer excitement when A-Rod had that first at bat HR or the 3 walk off wins. I could litterly feel my heart beating out of my chest with the AROD hr and comeback wins. I was and still am floating on cloud nine for those moments. The drop ball and BB-ROD moment were nice moments, but mainly cause it shoved a foot in the mouths of all those obnoxious met friends I have. By the way, are you Met's hater?
I'm a Mets-fan hater more so than I am a hater of the team, only b/c I have several obnoxious Met fan friends. But honestly, regardless of whether it was the Mets or not, I voted for the Castillo play b/c it was one of the only times in my life I can ever remember legitimately thinking my team lost (and should have lost), only to end up winning on a freak play for the ages seconds later. Just thought that was really cool.
I'm the same way. I don't really hate the Mets, never did, and not until recently have I had the privilege to meet many of the obnoxious Met fans out there that seem to have a little brother complex and take utter joy out of every possible Yankee misfortune. It got exponentially worse after the unspeakable events of 2004. Ever since, I would not pass up the opportunity to gloat at Met fans, but still I gotta say that ARod hr and walk off wins had me jumping out of my seat. It was like an unbelievable Aaron F-ing Boone moment.
I'm not a Met hater ( they are kinda insignificant to me), but I still think Mo's walk + 500th was the best inning of yankee baseball this season. The reactions of everyone on the team were just so priceless.
Melky's shot was in the 14th inning, not the 13th. I was at that game. Unbelievable
someone cant read too well, adding 3 walk offs a second time….
yea, i saw that. Lohud…
Don't rag on the lohuders.
Make peace, not war. I like both blogs.
I was at the third straight walk off with Johnny Damon. What a great game. Incredible plays by Tex and Mauer.
RAB poster, I would have added Tex's dving play but I voted before I thought of it and saw your posts. Sorry.
Darn. Too bad you didn't add it.
I'll add it for you. Tell me what to write.
"Tex makes a diving stop vs. Minnesota, game 3 of walkoff weekend"
No problem.
Thanks for adding it. I just saw it on the poll.
A-Rod's walk off vs. the Twins 'cause I was there or Mo's walk against BB-Rod.
BB-Rod! I enjoyed this.
Can't take credit for it, I read it here; I wanna say it was TSJC.
Well, in any event, this is the first I saw of it, and it's a very, very funny play on the nickname.
This is such a great post! It's helping to tide me over in this terrible Yankees drought.
If they can just be a tad more fortunate against Bos and Laa, we are looking at a 101+ team
why are there two mo's 500th saves? its not that hard to read, can we delete the second one?
I loved the Gardner inside the park job more than any of the other plays listed because of its back story.
With the new stadium and its rules and prices, half a billion $ in off season pick-ups, the corporate sheen of the Yankees… I guess there aren't too many sentimental "good guy" stories to accompany this franchise as of late. This play, the little girl, the bracelett, Gardner, it all felt really good.
Wow! Looking back at these plays/milestones, it is apparent what an amazingly memorable season the Yanks are having in their new home. We really are fans of the best franchise ever. Great post Mike!
The A-rod homer vs Lidge was with one out.
Alex's 1st-pitch-back home run turned the season around.
It had drama, surprise, triumph and — most importantly — season-turning impact.
Historically, Mo's 500th may be more special. But if the Yankees go anywhere this year, this season's "moment" will be A-Rod's.

Publix in South End
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Grocery chain Publix is expected to continue its push into the Charlotte region with a new store in South End, according to the Charlotte Business Journal.
The paper reports the store will be on a four-acre lot on South Boulevard across the street from Lowe's Home Improvement store near Iverson Way.
(Map: Location of South End store)
Publix announced in September it will open a grocery store in Ballantyne in 2014.
The Ballantyne store will be located at Providence Road West and Johnston Road just south of Ballantyne Country Club. An exact date of its grand opening is unknown, but the company said it is planned for sometime in early 2014, depending on construction, permits, weather and other factors.
Publix has more than 1,000 grocery stores across South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee. It currently has 45 stores in South Carolina.
Publix opened stores in Tega Cay and Indian Land last month in South Carolina. Those two stores are expected to bring 1,800 jobs to the area.
The South End store news reported by CBJ sites real estate sources, and the company has not made anything official, declining comment to NBC Charlotte on Wednesday.
But the company has not been shy talking about its desire to move to the Queen City.
"Our customers and associates have long asked us to come to North Carolina," said CEO Ed Crenshaw on September 19. "We look forward to providing the Charlotte community with the high quality service and products that our customers have come to expect and that have earned us recognition throughout the industry."

Get the Facts
VMware pioneered server virtualization. And now we're virtualizing the entire data center, so your business can reach even higher levels of efficiency, control and agility. And what has Microsoft done? Not much, besides make all kinds of claims about VMware. It's time you get the real facts.
VMware's Customer Stories
VMware helped Servier Hungaria Kft., a pharmaceutical company, reduce their business response times from 1 to 2 months down to a few hours.
We opted for the mature and reliable server virtualization solution of VMware that has been widely tested and proven, and offers most of the enterprise level functions that we need.Viktor M.
VMware delivered to The National Institute of Education (NIE) a flexible, robust, highly available infrastructure for their critical applications
Our proof of concept—which involved testing and creating virtual machines, conducting a physical-to-virtual migration for some of our servers and testing the vMotion feature for high availability—convinced us that VMware had the most mature and flexible product.Tan H.
ParetoLogic is able to reduce downtime and maximize energy efficiency with VMware
We considered other server virtualization platforms during our exploratory process but security is a big concern for us and we felt that the secure foundation on which VMware's ESXi platform is built upon, the ease of deployment and management, plus the number of applications per host density VMware offers made them the obvious choice.Brian V.

Family of girl, 15, who overdosed at Coliseum rave to get payment
Sasha Rodriguez's family will receive a $190,000 settlement on behalf of the stadium, the rave promoter and an ex-Coliseum manager.
Yuritzi Meza, 16, (far right) hugs Jessica Valiente, (second from right) at a fundraiser for the family of 15-year-old Sasha Rodriguez, who died from a suspected drug overdose during the Electric Daisy Carnival, at Allessandro Elementary School in Los Angeles. Rodriguez's teammates on the 1st Impressions drill team, a hip hop dance team, helped organize the fundraiser for the family. (John W. Adkisson / Los Angeles Times / July 2, 2010)
Attorneys for both sides said an insurance company for the promoter, Insomniac Inc., paid $175,000 for its liability and the Coliseum's. An insurer for the Coliseum manager, Todd DeStefano, paid $15,000.
The teenager, Sasha Rodriguez, was at the rave even though the minimum entry age was 16. She was there without her parents' permission.
Steven D. Archer, an attorney for her parents, said they believed both the venue and the promoter were responsible for what happened and "there has to be oversight to prevent children from being able to gain entry and be put into a position of danger."
"These are events that attract people who will use drugs," Archer said. "It's not the kind of environment for children.….The tragedy is that it took the death of a 15-year-old girl to focus attention on the Coliseum Commission and the practice of allowing raves on their property."
A rave promoter, Insomniac Chief Executive Pasquale Rotella, and DeStefano have been charged in a corruption case unrelated to the Rodriguez lawsuit. Prosecutors allege that DeStefano was bribed with at least $1.9 million by Rotella and another rave promoter, Go Ventures Chief Executive Reza Gerami, in return for low-cost access to the venues. All three have pleaded not guilty.
Police and emergency room physicians have said that raves at the Coliseum complex were a magnet for drug use and brought security problems that far exceeded those stemming from other events.
But the Coliseum Commission, a nine-member panel including representatives from the state, county and city, supported the continued scheduling of raves until February 2011, when The Times reported that DeStefano had been receiving money from the promoters even as he oversaw health and security issues for the events.
A lawyer for Insomniac, Gary Jay Kaufman, said in an email that Sasha's death was not the promoter's fault.
"Insomniac was sued for who we were, not what we did," the statement said. "If Sasha Rodriguez had snuck into the Hollywood Bowl during a Barry Manilow concert and overdosed on some drug, there never would have been a lawsuit.
"Insomniac did not admit any wrongdoing or liability as part of the settlement because they did not in fact do anything wrong."
After the teen's death, Insomniac, promoter of the Electric Daisy Carnival rave, barred minors from the raves.
Lawyers for the Coliseum Commission have maintained that the Rodriguez lawsuit had no merit.
County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, who sits on the panel, issued the following statement: "The only thing $190,000 settles is which side had better lawyers. Unfortunately, this settlement compounds the tragic death of Sasha Rodriguez."
A lawyer for DeStefano declined to comment.

US regulatory activity reflects steps toward more regulation and heightened scrutiny
The past few weeks have seen a flurry of insurance regulatory activity at the federal, state and international level. Individually these developments are noteworthy; taken together, they evidence the depth and breadth of changes and policy debates under way regarding the regulation of insurance. The summer months may bring time off for many, but not, it seems, for those reshaping the landscape of insurance regulation…

Chinese President Hu Jintao arrives in Washington for a daylong visit with the Obama administration. Hu will meet with privately Obama in the Oval Office, followed by visits with respective staffs, a luncheon, joint afternoon press conference and a glitzy dinner at day's end. Topics of discussion between the two world leaders include currency, trade and human rights concerns.
During the welcoming ceremony, Hu said, "I have come to the United States to increase mutual trust, enhance friendship, deepen cooperation and push forward the positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship for the 21st century."
Obama reviews soldiers on the South Lawn with Hu Jintao upon his arrival to the White House.
President Hu begins his American visit with an address on the White House South Lawn. The Chinese President stood silent for an English voice-over before delivering his address in his native tongue. Hu and Obama will deliver a joint press conference today at 1 p.m. Eastern.
Obama listens as his Chinese counterpart, Hu Jintao delivers his address. Hu said, "As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, the people of both China and the United States want to see further progress in our relations and people around the globe want to see greater prosperity in the world."
During the first meeting of the day, President Hu Jintao is invited into the Oval Office. While inside, news came from an administration official that China is to buy 200 Boeing air craft from, with an estimated worth of $19 billion--confirming that China is serious about increasing investment in American businesses.
Outside the White House, pro-Tibetan liberation activists protest President Hu's visit. Human rights are among the top concerns to be addressed during Wednesday's meetings.
At a press conference in the East Room of the White House, Chinese President Hu saide China has made "enormous progress' on human rights but there is still a lot of room for improvement."
During the press conference, Hu was asked by a Bloomberg reporter about the status of human rights in his country. Hu said first that he did not hear the question, then answered, "China will discuss human rights with 'mutual respect and non-interference' in its affairs."
Chinese President Hu Jintao shakes hands with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on his visit to the Capitol Thursday.
Hu stands alongside former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger after being introduced to speak at a luncheon for corporate and policy leaders co-hosted by the US-China Business Council and the National Committee on US-China Relations at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington Thursday.

These candy apple colors are SUPER shiny, which is exactly what I'd hoped for when I bought the kit. I ended up using them more as a top coat on dip-dyed eggs since the red looked a little too hot pink and the green a little too chartreuse on their own, but the orange was true, and the blue was a GORGEOUS royal!!

On authors and hissy fits
I always get a kick out of reading about authors' overreactions to negative reviews, but it's been a while since I've read some great ones. (See all the fun from last April for more along these lines!)
So, I was pleased to see some new rantiness appear. Here is just part of a mind-boggling example:
In last Sunday's New York Times Book Review, Caleb Crain reviewed Alain de Botton's The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work. While regular NYTBR watchers like Levi Asher welcomed the spirited dust-up, even Asher remained suspicious about Crain's doubtful assertions and dense prose.
But on Sunday, de Botton left numerous comments at Crain's blog, writing, "I will hate you till the day I die and wish you nothing but ill will in every career move you make. I will be watching with interest and schadenfreude."
You don't see a lot of schadenfreude in blog comments these days! Maybe it's all moved to Facebook and twitter, too. Oh wait — something has! Check this out — Alice Hoffman (although she later apologized and deleted) got mad enough to post the private email address and phone number of one of her negative reviewers to her twitter feed. Hmm. Maybe I should finally get myself a twitter account after all, apparently I'm missing all the fun…

Most people know vaguely that if you drive faster on the highway, youll pay a price at the gas pump.
A fast road trip costs more than a slow one because it burns more gas. But how much more, exactly?
How do you calculate the time-is-money tradeoff between miles per hour and miles per gallon?
Three engineers at the U.S. Department of Energys Oak Ridge National Laboratory have worked out some answers. And now, the Road Worrier will try to translate their computations into practical English.
Heres one way to make sense of their findings:
Say you could drive 60 mph on your next trip, but you prefer instead to drive 70 mph. Youll pay 16.3 percent more for gas, Oak Ridge says. At todays average price, thats like spending an extra 55 cents a gallon.
How you like them apples?
It really strikes home, said Garry Kenney, a former Raleigh computer networking consultant now retired in Davidson County. He drives a Prius and pays attention to fuel economy.
He knows lots of drivers who worry about the price of gas.
Theyll run all over town trying to find 5 cents a gallon difference in the price, said Kenney, 69. But, hey, how fast you drive makes a bigger difference than 5 or 10 cents a gallon.
Oak Ridge is where they figure out the fuel economy ratings for new cars. In this exercise, they tested 74 new and old cars and trucks at 50, 60, 70 and 80 mph. For every 10 mph increase, they charted the corresponding decline in mpg.
The results varied a bit from one car to another. The fuel economy drop-off was sharper when cars accelerated from 70 to 80 mph (15.4 percent) than when they went from 50 to 60 mph (12.4 percent).
The best speed for top fuel economy varies from one car to another, said Brian H. West, one of the Oak Ridge engineers. Some drivers like to think their cars perform best in the fast lane, but thats not likely.
Certainly nothing we tested here is better at 70 mph than at 60, West said. And the fuel economy at 60 mph was always lower than the fuel economy at 50.
Its basic physics, if you must know.
The aerodynamic drag pushing back on your car increases with the square of your speed: If you double your speed, the drag increases fourfold. And the power required to overcome drag increases with the cube of your speed. To double your speed, you need an eightfold increase in power, West said.
Satisfied? Now lets get back to your road trip.
Speed has its benefits, of course. If you set the cruise control at 70 mph instead of 60 mph, youll cut your travel time by 14.3 percent. On a 100-mile trip, youll arrive 14.3 minutes sooner.
Lets say your car gets 25 mpg when you drive 60 mph. Thats 4 gallons for 100 miles. The Oak Ridgers say that at 70 mph your fuel economy will fall by 14 percent, to 21.5 mpg. Now youre up to 4.65 gallons.
This means youre burning 16.3 percent more gallons per mile.
Mondays average price for self-service regular gas in the Triangle was $3.38 a gallon. If your fuel cost rises for that fast trip by 16.3 percent, its like paying $3.93 a gallon. (Want to drive 80 mph instead? Make that $4.65 a gallon.)
Suddenly, speed carries a price. Getting there 14.3 minutes faster costs an extra $2.20.
OK, were done with math. I should note that were talking here only about the fuel costs that come with high speed. More cars crash and more people are hurt when we drive faster, but thats another story.
West likes the idea of looking at this in terms of gas prices. Its easy to measure the time you save by driving faster, he said, but hard to gauge the expense.
I guess thats why people drive fast, said West, deputy director of the Fuel, Engines and Emissions Research Center at Oak Ridge. They dont perceive the cost as being that significant.
Although fuel economy is his business, hes not a slow-speed hard-liner.
Driving slower can certainly save gas, West said. But if youre on the interstate and everybody is going 75 mph and you want to go 55 mph, youre putting yourself at risk. Of course, we recommend everyone not exceed the speed limit.
Now that Gary Kenney is retired, he can afford to take a little more time on highway trips.
Im not in a hurry, most times, to get somewhere, said Kenney, who lives at Badin Lake. So Ill try to drive near the speed limit.
His car has a fuel economy gauge that rises higher when his speedometer falls lower.
Im conscious of it. And it makes a difference I can see, Kenney said.
