Yankees, Pirates discussing A.J. Burnett trade
The Yankees and Pirates have discussed a possible A.J. Burnett trade, with the Yankees willing to pick up a portion of the $33 million they owe the right-hander over the next two seasons.
That figure has been said to be in the $8 million range. CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reported in a blog post that New York and Pittsburgh are still separated by a few million dollars.
Burnett could be an extraneous piece for the Yankees, who currently have seven pitchers to fit into five rotation slots. He would head to Spring Training competing with Phil Hughes and Freddy Garcia for New York's fifth starter job. Heyman notes that the Yankees asked for slugger Garrett Jones, but were rejected.
The New York Post's Joel Sherman tweeted that the 10 clubs on Burnett's limited no-trade list are all on the West Coast. Burnett signed a five-year, $82.5 million contract with the Yankees before the 2009 season and is 34-35 with a 4.79 ERA in his three seasons wearing pinstripes.

OMG! Stop it!!!
OMG! Sop it!!!
Welcome to the matt sicko..bombers beat down site..join us…you will love it here..just remember when u post here you have to agree 100% with matt sicko otherwise u will be personally attacked….follow matt as he rips every yankee player and poster while not citing any particular scout or baseball expert.or any stats to back up his claims…yes join matts bombers beat down board.where his opinion reins supreme…thanks matt for your awesome efforts and baseball expertise…lol
Troublemaker is off his meds again. Obviously can't take his own medicine. JEEEEEZZZZZZ!!!! Only trouble maker is itdiotbo.
Again, Bob who is this guy talking to?…you , me…some mythical being….what does he mean anyone can personally assault anyone freely?…I'm on 5 yankee boards and haven't seen anything like this nut…boy he is so easy….take a darvon dude…hahahaha…..start your own Bombers beat down site…Matt's site where if you don't agree with eveything "matt says" you are a troublemaker….Crashman…Bustnett…Troublemaker….tells people to get off the board here….hes hilarious….what a clown!!!
Hmmm. Not much restraint there!
Where did I site the fact that if someone doesn't agree they area troublemaker? Illiteracy is obviously a strong point of yours. I love it when you act like a victim, it's sooooooo entertaining.
Maybe you should read your posts instead of going into "rant mode" or trying to say you didnt call someone a trouble maker…just read above…you posted it…dont feel as if you have to make personal assaults because someone disagrees even slightly..you are better than that…how about understanding that baseball is not an eaay game..players have good years and bad years..i think your whole problem here is you wont admit that aj had a good year in 2009 and was a good #2 for us and helped us win #27…he has a world series victory under his belt…and keep this in mind…how many ws victories does cc have…zero…hmmm
Your problem, one of many, is that you ignore or just flat out disregard facts, again not a surprise!!! I'm focusing on the whole picture which includes his 3 seasons with the Yankees, not 1, not to mention the fact that he was signed for 5 years not three, so he couldn't even finish out his contract. One good year doesn't change the facts about BUSTnett and that he is a BUST. So what,baseball sin't an easy game, you can say that about any other professional sport. Golly gee, you think that's why they are getting paid millions of dollars in the first place? This team made the mistake that he can succeed with the Yanks, obviously they were wrong. He went by way of every other bust in every sport who turned out to be a bust, cut or traded, he obviously didn't.
Also, don't make yourself look like a fool by mentioning Burnett's name with Sabathia's. He was far more responsible for getting the Yanks to the WS than BUSTnett as he was also 4th in CY Young voting. He has also won 59 games in his 3 seasons with the Yanks, how many has BUSTnett won? This team is at the very least a threat to go to the WS every year with CC, sorry to say no one can say the same about your boyfriend. I know you"re going to take that fact personally I'm sooooooo sorry. Sabathia is 2-0 in postseason while BUSTnett is only 2-2 with a mediocre 5.09 ERA.
Again, I'm sorry to disillusion you about your boyfriend BUSTnett, but you don't see anything with any clarity. Also, you are the ONE who started the insulting posts with your "Get over yourself" post. I wasn't even addressing you at the time, in fact you are the one who did START the trouble. Anyone who can read and the posting times can see that is a fact, period. So quit lying to yourself and others when we can all see the truth for what it is. So keep all your whiny little posts to yourself and quit doing such a poor job of acting like the victim. Spring Training hasn't started yet so try not to blow a gasket or start insulting anyone when they disagree with you until then, baseball is a long season. You have plenty of time to act like a whiny little troublemaker/victim.
Let's ALL show some restraint!
May I suggest we set up a self enforced ban on personal attacks? Obviously there are going to be disagreements here, but if you limit responses to reasoned arguments against, or even ignore those posts it will ultimately make this a much easier place to be.
Another second of our lives senselessly wasted by the troublemaker of this board, and YOU are the TROUBLEMAKER since you ALWAYS start it.
IF you don't like it then don't start it or just get off this board if you don't like what anyone else says on it. This is America last time I looked where people can say anything they wanted freely. So stop acting like the victim, you victimize everyone on this board by posting your GARBAGE, keep it off this board, and keep your whining off this board, this isn't the place for any of it.
The eloquence of Chad Jennings sums it all up:
Strange end to a strange saga
Bob…I'm sorry but this site is really tough when a so called "yankee fan"…has all these derogatory nicknames for Yankee players, G/M's and other posters.
This particular poster derides nearly every Yankee player every year..
Really takes away from the site…the intention hear being more to exchange views in a friendly environment whether we disagree or not…we should all try to be civil…If there is anything you can do it in that regard or anything I can do to help, please let me know….This is supposed to be Bombers Beat…not Bombers Beat Down!!!
When I talk about BUSTnett, I'm not just looking at his 2009 season, I'm looking at his whole body of work since he joined the Yankees, not 1 game, not one season, but rather all three seasons. That's the way everyone should look at it, and most fans do look at it that way. So in actuality the reporters are agreeing with all us fans who think that BUSTnett is a bust and a mediocre pitcher overall.
Sorry Matt. The point was about his "contribution" in 2009 only. I chose to quote writers only because they are generally more objective and are not as emotional as fans. You should note some of the quotes clearly support that he was putrid in 2010 and 2011. I also disagree with the statement that he "wasn't so bad" then.
The count I see is seven to one before any fan comments other than yours. You are on the short end.
Before anyone starts talking about how BUSTnett hasn't been all that bad, they should just look at his overall stats. His career stats has been getting progressively worse since joining the Yankees, and that speaks volumes, at least it does compared to that of a fan or a journalist who points out 1 game out of his Yankee career.
Those writers have the same problem you do. They don't look at the bigger picture. They fail to mention the fact that Burnett failed badly to clinch the title in the '09 WS by imploding in his next start. They also seem to forget that BUSTnett has not helped the Yankees get past the 1st round of each of the past two playoffs.
Whenever the Yankees or any team signs a player to a large contract, it's all about results and success, one game doesn't change that. The mere fact that he couldn't even finish out his contract proves that BUSTnett was a failure.
The only real key point that quote made was his durability, and that's it. If that's the best anyone can come up with about BUSTnett, then that's sad. Durability does not equate to success, especially when you are talking about $82.5 MM contract. How many teams in the majors spend that kind of money on a pitcher simply because he is "durable"? For that matter how many teams spend that kind of money on a pitcher who can only produce an ERA near a 5.00 ERA, a 34-35 record, can only produce 1 winning season while winning more than 11 games only once while doing it. This team paid the type of money a staff ace or #2 pitcher would get. IF the Yankees wanted a pitcher who could provide good durability, they could have done that by spending half of BUSTnett's amount or less, but they got nothing more than a mediocre pitcher at best. His career started to decline the second he hit NY.
IT's just delusional, if not ludicrous to think that BUSTnett was anything than mediocre. Saying that he had a good '09 season isn't saying much since the Yankee staff was only average that season. Why do you think there are so many Yankee fans who so ecstatic to be rid of his worthless carcass? Do you think this team would still be paying most of his contract or settle for low level minor league prospects if he were any good?
BUSTnett may do better in a weaker hitting NL, but don't fool yourself by thinking the Pirates went after because he is a good pitcher by any stretch. They are desperate for pitching that can eat up innings, period. If you don't believe me then read the quote you picked yourself.
Also, you are completely wrong when you say I am just one voice against many. Really? OBviously, you haven't read many comments from Yankee fans.
And a few more today:
"AJ Burnett circa-2009 was still a quality starting pitcher."- Alex Geshwind
"Burnett helped the club to the 2009 World Championship but was a total dud in the two following years."- Mike Axisa
"His addition was part of the $423.5 million spending spree that would help the franchise to its first championship in nine years. It might not have happened without Burnett, who with his team trailing the Phillies 1-0 in the World Series, delivered an electric outing to beat Yankee-slayer Pedro Martinez. The victory, easily Burnett's biggest in pinstripes, changed the course of the Series."- Marc Carig
"After a solid 2009, Burnett has put together 2 nightmarishly awful seasons in the Bronx."- Eric Schultz
"The much-maligned Burnett posted a 4.79 ERA, a 1.99 K/BB ratio and a 1.45 WHIP in three seasons with New York after signing a five-year, $82.5MM contract in the 2008-09 offseason. He did, however, play a key role in the Yankees' 2009 World Series title and averaged 195 innings per year during his time in the Bronx. This durability makes the 35-year-old Burnett an attractive quantity to the Pirates, who haven't had a pitcher reach 195 innings since 2009." -Mark Polishuk
There was one more comment along the same lines yesterday that I can't find and I remember several more when the AJ trade discussions started.
Sorry Matt, you appear to be one voice against many!
This is the Pirates we are talking about genius. They need pitching help, and moves like this just prove they are desperate for help. Yeah, this team had to eat well over 50 percent of his remaining contract in order to think about taking him and two low level minor leaguers. Pfffft, right he "he's not that bad". JEEEEEEEEZZZZ!!!
You're boring me again.
More delusional BS from the master of delusions. What a surprise. He pitched well in 2009? BWEHAHAHAH!!!!!!! Not well enough to earn the contract the Yanks signed hime to. He pitched well in 1 WS game and imploded in his next start. If he's not worth the money this team signed him to then he is a BUST, plain and simple. The best you can do is bring up one measly playoff game? Try harder. He only had a .500 record in post season with the Yankees and a 5.00+ ERA. Also never had a winning record in the second half in any season he was with the Yankees.
You really need to get off those drugs they aren't helping you deal with reality, or just go to a baseball board where people don't know baseball. You might actually fit in.
Matt…as someone fighting cancer and on chemo therapy I would appreciate you not getting personal with
"you really need to get off those drugs"..We are just talking baseball here…I apologize if the Red Sox comment so "enraged you"…..heres some facts for you
Just keep in mind that your calling the yankee GM "Crashman" and one of our pitchers "Bustnett"
Red Sox fans use those nicknames all the time…so you I thought you would probably more comfortable on the Red Sox board.
it's easy for people to bash this signing 3 years later but the ONLY issue any of us had, or should I say, question marks, was whether he would stay healthy, not if he could perform.
From 2006-2008 (the years with the Jays) AJ was..
9 K/9 (4th in the AL), 51 %GB, 3.92 ERA (16th in AL ), 3.82 FIP (11th in AL ), 3.56 xFIP (5th in AL), WAR (11th in AL).
2009..AJ was definitely our number 2 pitcher..the stats prove it…I agree 2010 and 2011 were not 2 good for him.
We don't win our 27th World Championship without him however….and until someone wins another play off game for us, I am correct in stating he won our last playoff game and forced a game #5…he pitched a good game under pressure
This deal went wrong for all the wrong reasons but Cashman did the right thing by signing him and did the right thing in moving on knowing it didn't work. The fact that he's developed and traded for cheap in-house solutions like Nova, Hughes and Pineda allows him to "sort of", at least by Yankee standards, offset some of the costs.
I hope he performs well in Pittsburg and I'm surprised we got 13 million and 2 minor leaguers in return.
Bill D
It's just unfortunate that you can't understand the concept of free speech in this country. If you did you wouldn't be posting the Crappola you usually do on this board. For your info I can and will criticize the players and FO as much as I like when they deserve it. The players and organizations around baseball understand that concept. Don't see why you have such difficulty understanding such a simple concept. I'm not the only fan who criticizes these players or organzation so get off your SOAP BOX already, it's gotten to be a tiresome act.
As for AJ, are you kidding me? HE was only healthy for 1 full season between '06-'08 so your stats are skewed by that fact. Face FACTS he had only 1 good full season and that was in '08, and that was the only reason Crashman went after him, the same mistake he had committed before with players like Pavano. So the numbers DON't prove anything of the sort.
The question was whether he could perform and stay healthy, get your facts right. I know you are alergic to those. Before '08 he only had two full seasons as a fulltime starter. It's always a risk and a potential mistake to sign a injury-prone player to a large contract, period.
No one really cares about stats from two or three years ago, only one of which he pitched a full season,with another team. The only results that matter are his won-lost record with the Yanks and the fact that he couldn't even finish out the contract. Those facts hold more weight in regards to what type of pitcher he is than 1 game in a WS or one good season. At least show some effort in your posts.
Pirates believe he is worth 13 million and 2 minor leaguers..hes not that bad..just not worth 16 million per year..we won a world series with him..he pitched well in 2009 and beat fhe phils in 2009 ws…also was winning pitched in our last playoff win..talk about john lackey?…same money and twice as bad…we need to get some of these red sox fans off this site!!!!
BUSTnett's biggest problem is that he just is not a very good pitcher period, not worth the contract he signed with Yankees. the Yankees just continue to repeat the same dumb mistake of signing mediocre talent to large contracts based on one good season. BUSTnett has never had a good season with the Yankees and has flamed out in the second half of each season he has been with the team. The only good year he has ever had in his career was in '08 with Toronto when he won 18 games.
Ever since that season BUSTnett has SUCKED big time never living up to his contract, but then again what do you expect from a guy who has never had good control as a pitcher and gives up way too many HR's. It could be that he can't pitch in the pressure cooker known as New York, but it's far more likely he just plain SUCKS and lacks the talent to be the type of pitcher the Yanks thought he would be when they signed him to the type of contract #1 or #2 pitchers get. This guy is barely hanging around as a #5.
blah..blah..blah..get over yourself..
Burnett's biggest problem is the fact NY is not a very forgiving market to pitch in, he pitched well in '09 but when the problems appeared in '10 it went downhill. He wasn't given the support that you'd get say in KC or Seattle as the fans wanted it fixed by the next start – then he started to let his head over-rule his mechanics and you suddenly have a problem. He'll be best served in a less media centred market where if he has a rough start they're not going to analyse it pitch by pitch in the morning papers the way it is in New York. I'll be the first to admit i've bashed the guy more than enough last year, but frankly after 2 seasons of being unable to control his mental state effectively it's obvious to everyone that he's not the right personality to pitch in NY.
The Burnett signing brought us a World Series title the first year. It fell apart after that. A change of scenery would probably do Burnett a world of good. If Banuelos or Betances are going to make it to the big leagues they need to be given the chance eventually.
That's what ultimately swings it for me. Hughes needs his shot in the rotation, Garcia provides able depth and beyond that there is Phelps and Warren. Then perhaps by midseason the Killer B's will have hopefully refined their command enough to be called up if necessary. Right there I count up to 10 potential starters including the ones already in the rotation.
There is plenty of depth here, Burnett isn't part of the future and it's time to move on and clear the roster spot for a second LOOGY, or a long man.
Phelps and Warren are seen as nothing more as possible trade bait in the future, it's not likely this team will see them in the rotation as full time starters any time soon. neither has the stuff to be great pitchers, most likely they will end up as long relievers or back of the rotation starters. Both are expendable.
As I recall Nova was never a highly regarded prospect either and that looks very short sighted right now. Who knows what Phelps or Warren will turn into, but thanks for your opinion Matt!
Yeah, just as there were lot of people (some on this board) were drooling over the prospects of Noesi and Brackman. Look how they turned out, Brackman was a total bust and Noesi was used as trade bait just as Warren and Phelps could be.
It's not just my opinion but the opinion of most scouts who have seen these guys pitch wh say that they are back of the rotation pitchers. Also, not my opinion that they could be used as trade bait, they have been part of trade speculation for the longest time. THAT IS A FACT!!
Drooling is an exaggeration! And I don't remember you ever naming those scouts you have access to or providing links to those reports!
BUSTnett's signing didn't have a lot to do with the Yanks WS title. 13 wins and a 4.00+ ERA is ok for the most part, but those weren't the type of numbers the Yanks were hoping for since they are mediocre for a pitcher who signed a large contract. Yanks could have spent at the very most half of what BUSTnett signed forto get a lesser pitcher and still produce the same type of numbers. Not impressive at all. A change of scenery might do BUSTnett some good but I doubt it. Banuelos and Betances are going to have to earn a trip back to the majors, it's not going to be handed to them on a silver platter. Booth are going to have to improve their control a lot and show that they can stay healthy, something Betances has never been able to do. Last thing anyone wants to see is for them to end up like complete busts like Brackman who only put together one good season in the minors. He was unquestionably a huge mistake.
AJ's performance in the 2009 WS Game two was huge!
Hmmmmm, as I recall BUSTnett had a chance to clinch the WS title in game 5 of the '09 WS, but typically imploded by giving up 6 runs in 2 IP. Like I said, BUSTnett didn't have a lot to do with the Yanks winning the '09 WS. Nice try Robert but failed again like BUSTnett.
And that ignores the 14 win regular season contribution which most fans I know consider to be significant! Sure we may have gotten as much or more from another pitcher, but we'll never know will we?
13 wins was significant? Pffffffffffftttttttttttt!!!!!!!! It's a good thing that other GM's don't think the same way otherwise we will see 13 game winners being signed to huge contracts only to end up as complete busts like BUSTnett. Try looking at the bigger picture. The Yanks won mainly because of their offense which average 5.65 runs per game in '09, led the majors in HR's, second in BA, and first in runs. While the pitching staff was only OK in '09. I think I remember a few games in which he left trailing and the Yankee pulled his carcass out of the fire.
Apparently, Crashman's delusions about BUSTnett are still going strong. This team will have to at lest eat 60-70% of BUSTnett's remaining contract, anything less than that won't get any trade done. It's not likely that BUST nett gets moved to the pen because of his contract. If he does get moved, it's more likely they move Hughes into the rotation since he is still young, this team still is holding out hope that he develops into the starting pitcher they think he can become, they can't do that unless they put him in the rotation. Garcia is nearing the end of his career, not really worth the trade off if he is put in the rotation.
So apparently there is an offer on the table where the Pirates pick up 10 mil but Cashman declined it. Interesting. Hopefully a reasonable deal is reached, not sure how much being publicly told he's not wanted like this affects Burnett if he doesn't get moved.
Otherwise maybe the Yanks should consider moving AJ to the pen. Theoretically, his stuff and penchant for unravelling after more than a few innings seems to indicate using him for a couple of innings at a time might make sense. Theoretically, anyway.
I know there are plenty of power righty arms already there, but you can't send him to AAA. Based on last season, Garcia should be ahead of him for the 5th starter spot and on potential it should be Hughes.
I'm a kid and just started to blog and was wondering if you could check it out. Please comment advice http://wp.me/29yiz
Your blog looks VERY well written, David.
Thank you sooo much for looking at it.
Maybe they should've asked for McCutcheon back.
To me the Yanks eating only $8M is not likely to get it done. I've seen reports lately that suggest eating $25M, particularly if we want a player of any value in return.

The only complaint that we had is that the master bed was extremely squeaky. Every time you went to turn over, you would be awakened by the creeks and squeaks coming from the bed frame. One night we almost got up to sleep on the sofa. We definitely plan on visiting Key West again and when we do we plan to stay with you again squeaky bed and all :). – Patrick & Lori – Georgia

This year I am remembering the six members of the BOXALL family recorded on the war memorial in the parish church at West Dean (near Chichester), Sussex.
I have previously written about Walter BOXALL (actually Walter Henry BOXALL), most recently when I was looking at the story that James and Caroline BOXALL had 27 children. I am happy that he wasn't one of their children, but he appears to have been treated as if he was one.
I have a copy of his birth certificate which shows that his mother was Alice Ruth BOXALL although his father's identity is not known. He was born on the 27th May 1897 at 10 Arthur Street, Caerleon, Monmouthshire, Wales. I have no idea why his mother was in Wales at the time of his birth.
He was back in West Dean in the for the 1901 census, when he was living with his grandparents, but in 1911 he his still living with his grandparents but is described as their son. He attended school at West Dean between the 14th October 1901 and the 26th May 1911 and left school to work on a farm.
With regard to his military service I know very little, really only what is included in Soldiers Died in the Great War and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website. Walter apparantly enlisted at Chichester, Sussex (which is not surprising) and served with the 2nd Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment (regimental number: G/11744).
Interestingly this was the same battalion as Sidney Charles BOXALL (his 1st cousin once removed), but this is probably just a coincidence. He was killed in action on the 10th July 1917, but that is about the limit of my knowledge.
As well as the West Dean war memorial, Walter Henry BOXALL is remembered on the Nieuport Memorial, Belgium.

No charges yet have been filed in a vehicle crash last Saturday that killed one pedestrian and hospitalized another person, and the Aiken Department of Public Safety is continuing its investigation.
Aiken resident Lukisha Thomas, 29, and a man, Ray Charles Wooden Jr., were struck while walking south on the sidewalk in the 800 block of York Street about 2 p.m. Saturday, police have said. They were struck by a 2006 Jeep driven by Aiken attorney Thomas G. Woodruff Jr.
Thomas and Wooden were transported by ambulance to Georgia Regents Medical Center, where Thomas died during surgery, authorities said. Thomas' 2-year-old son was with her when the incident happened, and was taken to Aiken Regional Medical Centers where he was examined and released.
No charges have been filed in the incident.
An accident reconstruction team with Aiken Public Safety was on the scene immediately after the incident and again on Tuesday. They will be compiling a report that will be taken to the Solicitor's Office to determine what charges, if any, are filed.
"We're waiting on some results to come back," said Lt. Karl Odenthal. "Once we get those back, the investigation will be complete and we'll be able to take our action from there."
The team said it would take two to three weeks from the day of the accident to complete the report, Odenthal said.
"Unless you have enough right on the scene to put somebody in jail, it's not that unusual for someone to not be arrested," he said. "It's one thing to be arrested; it's another thing to be incarcerated."
According to a police report, Woodruff told officers "something out of the driver side of his vehicle caught his attention and distracted him." Woodruff heard a "loud bump" and realized he had struck the pedestrians, the report stated.
The victims were found lying underneath a parked rental truck, according to the report.
"We ask for continued patience," Odenthal said. "There's a lot of rumors going around out there, many of them are not founded at all. We cannot release the information until we know what we're saying is 100 percent accurate.
"We're doing our best with it," he continued. "Unfortunately, some of it just takes time."

It has been two weeks since I wrote my last update, and they have a relatively productive couple of weeks, beginning with a visit to the East Sussex Record Office. Since then my focus has pretty much been on processing the information gathered at the record office and trying to get my to-do list into a better condition.
Finding Minnie
To be honest I haven't done a lot on my Finding Minnie project this last fortnight, apart from processing what I discovered at the record office. I still haven't ordered a copy of Patrick Vaughan's service record, which I can do now as I am sure I have the right man.
Apart from ordering the service record my other priority is to enter all the data that I already have for Minnie, Kate and Patrick (and his first family). I have made a start on this, but need to get this finished.
To-Do List
I have spent a fair bit of time worrying about my to-do list, and in some respects this has been a distraction, but I feel it is important to have a useable to-do list.
I have done a bit of work on updating the list, and this has inevitably lead me off in different directions as I revisit some of the items to see if they can be completed yet or if I have already done them.
I know I need to be more methodical with this review and once I have done my first pass through I need to go through a bit more carefully and double-check everything.
High Hurstwood, East Sussex
Again I haven't put much more thought into the idea of a one-place study on the village of High Hurstwood, East Sussex. Whilst I was at the record office viewing the parish registers I did wonder whether one day I will be transcribing them.
My current thinking is that it would be a worthwhile project to take on, but also that I don't have the time at the moment. If I can put aside a tiny bit of time each week to work on it then it might be feasible.
The Family History/ Book Reading Half-Hour
This pretty much fell by the wayside this week, the week before wasn't so bad, but I really need to try to get back in the routine of turning of the computer and picking up a book instead.

London won its bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics seven years ago, but there were mixed feelings ahead of the Opening Ceremony over whether the city was ready for the throngs of fans expected at the games.
Organizers say everything is brilliant, but there are locals who aren't so sure.
London is making Olympic history for hosting a third summer Olympics, following the games of 1908 and 1948. For Californians Yellenia and Julio Palacios, the host city is a walking photo op.
"I still can't believe we're here. We see Olympic signs everywhere," Yellennia Palacios said.
Signs of road closures and security, by land, air and sea, are all over the city.
"We've ensured that the security is appropriate and proportionate to ensure that we do have a safe and secure games," said Debbie Jevans, of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Department of Transport estimates an additional quarter of a million people will be in London each day of the games. That has the locals feeling squeezed.
"I think security is on people's minds, but I think they're more worried about the inconvenience," said Londoner Sally Cook.
Olympic only lanes are now in effect. Public transportation is the best and sometimes only way to get around the city and to Olympic venues, like the historic Horse Guards Parade, home of beach volleyball.
"It's an awesome stadium, an awesome venue. We're looking forward to the night matches," said U.S. volleyball player Misty May-Treanor.
The Opening Ceremony will take place Friday night at the Olympic Stadium in Olympic Park. To get to the location, fans must pass through several security points with either credentials or a ticket to that day's events.
Security proved effective on Wednesday, when the British Defense Forces scrambled a jet when a commercial plane lost contact with air traffic control. Communication did resume, but it gave people an idea of how quickly Britain is prepared to respond to security risks.

I have been looking forward to this walk for a couple of weeks, no I tell a lie, I have been looked forward to repeating this walk since June 2010 when I last did it (although it was the other way round last time).
The weather conditions were much better back then, a little under two years ago it was a little hazy to start, but soon the sun came out and the conditions were glorious. Today we began with fog and rain and only much later did the weather begin to improve, but by then it was too late and we were on our way home.
Today's walk was quite a short walk really, less than five miles, but conditions underfoot were less than ideal (yes, I did end up sitting in the mud on more than one occasion) which surprised me because we have been short of rain recently.
The walk started at Exceat Bridge in East Sussex (between Seaford and Eastbourne) and my wife and I followed the course of the Cuckmere River to the sea (this was the muddiest part of the walk) and we then headed west towards the town of Seaford. Because the tide was out the first part of this was along the foot of the cliffs, before ascending the steps at Hope Gap and continuing across the top of the cliffs and over Seaford Head, before descending into the town of Seaford.
The coastline in this part of the world is a truly incredible place to explore, even in the less than perfect conditions like today. We slowly picked our way along the foot of the cliffs (although not too close) and marvelled not just at the immense chalk cliffs, but also the variety of shells and stone scattered across the shore. From huge boulders of chalk with layers of flint running through them to the tiny little shells that litter the shore, it is a scene that must change every day as the tides work their magic.
The cliffs are impressive in their scale, but once the sun comes out they take on an extra magic when their greyness is replaced by a dazzling whiteness, as seen below when we were descending into Seaford.
We spent a while in Seaford, perhaps an hour or so, certainly longer than I have spent before. I have ancestors from Seaford and of course Patrick Vaughan and his Canadian comrades were at Seaford during the First World War, so it is a place that I ought to explore further. However that wasn't to be today, as the museum (in the wonderful Martello Tower) wasn't open and the library is currently in temporary accommodation whilst a new one is being built.

The Rowan Open is not just the final relay meet of the high school girls track season. It's also a meet that features some unique individual events that give runners the opportunity to get a taste of something different.

Williamstown High School's Maria Ruiz decided to skip her school's prom to run the 2000-meter steeplechase on Friday, the Open's first night of competition. She finished in a winning time of 7:19.13, just 1.14 seconds faster than Millville's Lindsay Bertulis.

 "I wanted to do something different," said Ruiz. "I figured it was something fun to do instead of prom, and I knew I liked the steeplechase. I knew I wanted to do well and medal. I didn't think I'd come in first, though."

The Woodbury Relays feature a steeplechase as well, but Rowan offers the water pits that welcome each runner after they jump a hurdle. Ruiz opted out of the race at the Woodbury Relays.

 "That's what I was looking forward to the most in that meet," said Ruiz of the Open. "I was looking to splash around in the water a little bit. It makes it more fun."

Ruiz also won the 1500 with a time of 4:42.67. Delsea's Felicia O'Donnell was fourth in 4:50.33. Ruiz is looking forward to the Gloucester County Championships on Wednesday, but a county title isn't as important to her as gearing up for Group IV sectionals.

 "I really want to just do my best, and at this point in the season it's not my place as much as my time," Ruiz said. "I'm treating the county meet as important as sectionals. It's good competition pushing me to get a good time."

As one of the few senior Braves on this year's squad, Ruiz isn't just looking out for herself. She's been doing some minor coaching for the Williamstown underclassmen.

 "We have two sophomore twins and they keep getting better," Ruiz said of Brianna and Alexus Streater. "They stick with me. We run together in practice, and some meets I run with them to pace them. I think they'll be very successful in the future."

Another local athlete that has already proven herself is Our Lady of Mercy Academy's Victoria Imbesi. After breaking a meet record in the javelin at the Woodbury Relays, she nearly broke her own Rowan Open record of 132-0 with a throw of 129-7.

And if that wasn't enough, Imbesi also took Open titles in the shot put and discus. Teammate Genevieve Rybicki was second in the discus and third in the shot put.

 "I'm definitely right around my goal right now," Imbesi said after throwing her meet-record 146-7 at Woodbury. "I want to throw 155 by the end of the year and I think I'm ready to go for that."

Other local winners were OLMA's Tacquaya Tobias with a jump of 17-5 3/4 in the long jump and the Clearview intermediate hurdles team of Tina Oldt, Brittany Biagi and Cassie Lenkowski with a time of 3:20.78. The Pioneers were also second in the shuttle hurdles.

ESPN Images/Associated Press
DENVER � Caleb Moore was a Texas kid drawn to the snow, rehearsing complicated tricks on a snowmobile into a foam pit back home until they became second nature and ready for the mountains.
With his younger brother following along and constantly pushing him, Moore became a rising talent in action sports.
The innovative freestyle snowmobile rider, who was hurt in a crash at the Winter X Games in Aspen, died Thursday morning. He was 25.
Moore had been undergoing care at a hospital in Grand Junction since the Jan. 24 crash. Family spokeswoman Chelsea Lawson confirmed his death, the first in the 18-year history of the X Games.
�He lived his life to the fullest. He was an inspiration,� Lawson said.
A former all-terrain vehicle racer, Moore switched over to snowmobiles as a teenager and quickly rose to the top of the sport. He won four Winter X Games medals, including a bronze last season when his younger brother, Colten, captured gold.
Caleb Moore was attempting a back flip in the freestyle event in Aspen last week when the skis on his 450-pound snowmobile caught the lip of the landing area, sending him flying over the handlebars. Moore landed face first into the snow with his snowmobile rolling over him.
Moore stayed down for quite some time, before walking off with help and going to a hospital to treat a concussion. Moore developed bleeding around his heart and was flown to a hospital in Grand Junction for surgery. The family later said that Moore, of Krum, Texas, also had a complication involving his brain.
Colten Moore was injured in a separate crash that same night. He suffered a separated pelvis in the spill.
The family said in a statement they were grateful for all the prayers and support they have received from people around the world.
X Games officials expressed their condolences and said Moore, a four-time X Games medalist, would be remembered �for his natural passion for life and his deep love for his family and friends.�
B.C. Vaught, Caleb Moore�s agent for almost a decade, said he first saw Moore when he was racing an ATV in Minnesota and signed him up to star in some action sports movies.
Later, Moore wanted to make the switch from ATVs to snowmobiles and Vaught helped him. A natural talent, it took Moore only two weeks to master a difficult back flip.
Moore honed his skills in Krum, a town about 5,000 people 50 miles northwest of Dallas that rarely sees snow. Instead, he worked on tricks by launching his sled into a foam pit. After a brief training run on snow ramps in Michigan, he was ready for his sport�s biggest stage � the 2010 Winter X Games.
In that contest, Moore captured a bronze in freestyle and finished sixth in best trick. Two years later, his biography on ESPN said, �Caleb Moore has gone from �beginner�s luck� to �serious threat.��
That was hardly a surprise to Vaught, who said, �Whatever he wanted to do, he did it.�

No. 25 USC AIKEN 82, COLUMBUS STATE 72
By NOAH FEIT
COLUMBUS, Ga. — The USC Aiken women's basketball team got off to a good start in defense of its Peach Belt Conference Tournament title, defeating Columbus State on its home court Thursday, 82-72.
It was the sixth consecutive victory for the No. 25 Pacers (21-6) at the Frank G. Lumpkin Center, a streak that includes three wins in last year's PBC Tournament, when they won the event for the first time in program history. To become the conference's first back-to-back tournament winner since Lander in 2008 and 2009, USCA will have to knock off the No. 1 team in the nation, undefeated Clayton State.
The squads will square off in a tournament semifinal game at 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Columbus State gymnasium. The Lakers whipped Armstrong Atlantic State 76-44 in one of Thursday's four quarterfinal games.
To advance to the semifinals, the Pacers turned in one of their best offensive performances of the season, scoring more than 80 points in a game for just the third time. It was a balanced effort, with five Pacers scoring in double figures.
"When we move the ball well, hit shots the team looks good. They shot with confidence," USCA head coach Mike Brandt said of his team, which connected on 48 percent (31-64) of its field-goal attempts. "When you have five players in double figures, that makes you feel good."
That included a season-best 17 points from Mia Antoine. The senior guard tied Columbus State's Chatil Bradford for game-high honors. Antoine was 6-for-8 and added six rebounds and four assists.
"It was big, but that's what you expect from a senior," Brandt said of Antoine, who was honored prior to the game with the Elite 15 award for the player competing in the championship event with the highest cumulative GPA. "She stepped up and her shot selection was excellent."
Porsha Martin and Brittany Hill scored 16 points apiece for USCA. Hill had a big game with six assists and four rebounds, but it was her shooting touch that made a difference. The junior point guard usually looks to pass first, but connected on 5 of 8 shots from the field, going 4-for-5 from 3-point range.
"It speaks volumes for Brittany," Brandt said. "Last season, even in the tournament, teams would sag off of her when she was shooting. She worked hard on her shooting in the offseason."
Martin had eight rebounds and went 6-for-6 from the free-throw line, part of a perfect performance by the Pacers at the charity stripe. They made all 12 of their attempts in the double-digit win that saw the Cougars connect on 27 of 31 foul shots.
It was the disparity of free throws that kept the game as close as the final 10-point margin, because USCA's defense limited Columbus State (16-11) to just 34 percent shooting (21-61) from the field. The Pacers were especially effective neutralizing the Cougars outside shooting, taking away one of the best weapons in their arsenal. On the season, which is likely over for Columbus State, it led the PBC in 3-pointers made, connecting at a league-best 37 percent. Against USCA, it made just 3 of 16 tries from long distance, shooting itself in the foot more than in the rim. The Paces set the tone early and Columbus State was 0-for-7 from 3-point range in the first half.
Before she fouled out, Daniela Tarailo scored 12 points and Mackenzie Reese came off the bench with 11 more.
"It's great to have balance because it makes you stronger. We'll need that going against Clayton State," Brandt said. "Tonight, we had no hesitation. When we were struggling a little, there were some times that we hesitated. Tonight there was none and no lack of confidence."
Brandt said he's looking for another strong effort on Saturday against Clayton State. Although the Lakers (27-0) beat the Pacers earlier this season, the game was tied with less than 40 seconds to play before Clayton State eked out a 56-50 win. Brandt said that performance, and other recent history against the Lakers should give his veteran team confidence. USCA beat Clayton State in the PBC Tournament championship game last year, and two years ago, when the Lakers were also undefeated, it was the Pacers who handed them their only loss of a national-championship season in a PBC Tournament semifinal game.
"If there's anybody in this tournament Clayton State doesn't want to play, I'd say its us because of how well we match up with them," said Brandt, who admitted he's glad his squad won't play today and will have a chance to recover from the Columbus State win as it prepares for Clayton State. "They're No. 1 and undefeated. There's no pressure on us, we've got nothing to lose. It's a great situation to be in."

That's right, we're officially going back and changing a scoring decision from last night, taking away an error from Melky Cabrera and charging it instead to Section 39.
If you're not familiar with the way things work at Yankee Stadium, every game brings a 'roll call' from the Bleacher Creatures, who chant out the names of the position players in the top of the first inning. (And if you're not familiar with Yankee Stadium, how's the weather look for this weekend in Boston?)
Anyway, the chant had worked around to Melky Cabrera in the first inning last night when Denard Span singled to center. Cabrera acknowledged the bleachers with a wave and then promptly booted the ball for an error, allowing Span to get to second base. Joe Girardi said that he didn't realize what exactly happened until he saw the highlight on TV last night around 11:30 p.m. — needless to say, there was a discussion in the clubhouse this morning.
"He's a kid having fun," Girardi said. "You want your players to have fun, but you make sure he does it at the right time."

I think Ichiro has stopped caring he just lifts pitches and hopes for the best, alot of flyballs.
Bryan Hoch, what about the error charged to Giambi the other night on a poor throw by the pitcher?
Yanks have scouts following Dodgers
The New York Yankees have had scout Rick Williams following the Los Angeles Dodgers over the past few days, George A. King of the New York Post writes.
The Dodgers will be entertaining offers for versatile outfielder Juan Pierre and righthander Derek Lowe, who will be a free agent after this season.
New York is reportedly still interested in the Colorado Rockies Brian Fuentes but the consensus is that Colorado is asking for too much in return.
I was kidding about the "kilometer" stuff. It's just amusing to me when people from other countries try and explain something by unit of measure. You have to sit and calculate in your head to get it back to "Standard" measurements. That's one more reason to LOVE America. Everyone else uses the metric system, yet we still call our system "Standard". It's good to be the King.
Despite my clammering for a speedy outfielder like Pierre, I'd rather had Upton but that will never happen.
ooops… .I mean Humberto for Fuentes????
By firstname.lastname@example.com on July 23, 2008 5:30 PM
They want Kennadia. Probably in additional player, perhaps Sanchez.
Texiera will end the careers of Giambi and possibly Posada in pinstripes. I don't see it. Maybe they do it and then add Pudge when he's waived. Unlikely, they have an agreement with Giambi $5M buyout + $5 salary.
Boston I don't suspect is really interested in Tex, they just want to appear to be.
Doesn't really matter anyway. I've not been too found of Washburn but he's managed to do well against us… go figure? He has a no-trade to the Yanks? Bah, who cares if he doesn't like us?
Papsmear? As I said already… he ain't even the beginning of a pimple on the great Mariano Rivera's *** yet, so yes he's over-rated, talented yes, but he hasn't had time to level off either.
This is the best sweep we've had all year! We now move into the WC soley do we not?
Rivera is one of the best to EVER throw a baseball 60′ 6″. You will find no one, not even the jaded dorks at ESPN or NESN who will disagree. He is a first ballot HOF'er who will be 2nd all time in saves (I'm still holding out hope that Hoff hangs it up next week!) with nearly every MLB pitching honor in his trophy case and a fist full of WS rings to pad his resume.
Poll ANY ML manager and say, if, right now, you could have ANY current closer on your team, who'd you pick? I'll give even odds that Mo's name will come up 98% of the time. Sure K-Rod and Paplebum may have better records but with a game on the line, there is none better, ever, who does what Mo does.
I'll be able to tell my grandchildren about him and Baseball will talk of him in the same breath and with the same reverence as the elite who have played the game.
Let's see how K-Rod and Paplebum are doing in 15 years…….
OK. Let's get back to TODAYS GAME! Yes, we've won 6 in a row so I'm not excited. 11 games over isn't nothing but I dont want to be 8 games over by sunday DAMMIT!!!
What I DO want to talk about is…. Wait for it…..
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE! YET ANOTHER SPECTACULAR START by a pitcher who is quickly making his case for HOF once he's done. I'm doing rain dances for his health and well being. With just under half the season left, he only needs 7 more. Come on Moose, 7. I KNOW you can do it. I want to be able to tell people I got to see Moose pitch IN PERSON the season he got that elusive 20th win. I dont know if I might want it worse than he does. Oh, another "stat" in Moose's favor? Only the 3rd pitcher in history to record 20 or more starts in 17 or more consecutive seasons. Come on Moose!!! 263 on the way to 270!!!
Speaking of trade rumors, Humberto for Sanchez? Since when?
If the yanks can get 2/3 this weekend it would really make a big difference in the season. They only took 2/4 in the last meeting, so this would be a great chance to get an extra game….plus if they sweep…no-mastusucka
Who cares. Fenway is a joke and its ugly and Boston isn't going anywhere this year. Niether is anyone else, for that matter. The The ANgLes look really good and it might be their year.
Right, but the Boston brass will get strung up for benching a fan favorite who is in the middle of a career year.
I hear any acquisition of Texiera could lead to Giambi being the DH and Sexson being reduced to a late inning replacement. Then there is Posada and Matsui.
Because Boston people say Pap is better, Doesn't make it so.
Rivera is our guy and we wouldn't want it any other way. Who gives a Damn what they think?
Good that you have someone to take your anger out on.
What are the Sox going to do with Teixeira when Papi comes back? That's not going to happen.
Ok, fine. Then if Boston is going after Tex and Marte, then I should just jump off the 59th st bridge and conced this season the the bloody sox. I'm P-Oed after hearing this news. So, washburn and vidro vs Marte and Texeiereeera. Ok. Wow. I nominate Matt to be the New GM of the Yankees and Chaz as team president. I'll handle media relations, cus yer gonna need a wiseass to do some serious non-sensical spin doctoring after the mess this season is going to turn into.
Asking price is too high….what, Ian Kennedy, Austin jackson and Ross Olendorf is too high???? Throw in a pizza or something….man!
ok: Hows this for overrated:::
Boston people say he's better then Rivera.
Thats NOT overrated?
And he shares the same rectum-mouth ratio as the rest of the red sox fans. Sometimes i wonder if his face is really just his backside and he is just walking around on his hands.
Why can Paplebon jump up and down and do a Jig or the hokey pokie and people get on Joba the Hut for pumping his fist?
I say Jonathan Paplebon should stay off the DL for a season or two before he can start spouting off with his diarrhea of the mouth.
I'm just in a bad mood and whenever i do, I take it out on the red sox. OOOOH we are playing them this weekend. Good. I hope they eat bad Clam Chowder and have the runs all weekend. Freaking New England Clam Chowder….ew. Cream and Clams? Ok, fine. Why don't I just go and get some clams on the half shell from the raw bar and DROP THEM in a glass of moo milk. thats tasty, doncha think?
On J-Wash, this deal would likely close the career of Andy Pettitte, they would likely not need another lefty in a rotation when J-Wash is scheduled to make $29M and you already have Hughes and Chamberlain and Wang penciled in to the rotation. There is also a young Latino that Cashman personally went to watch at scranton yesterday.
J-Wash is the hot name. Molina has caught for him in the past in Anaheim.
Also, we have scouts in LA watching Lowe (expiring) and Pierre.
Fuentes is a hot for many teams. Boston has opted to pursue Marty instead.
Nady/Bay deals look to be off, asking prices too high.
I'd trade igawa and latoya for a GI Joe with a Kung Fu grip and a bag or stale donuts. If you go to a dunkin donuts right before closing (if you can find one not open 24 hrs) and you buy a donut they'll give you a bunch for free that they were just going to throw out. I know. I got free donuts that way.
We need Nad"Y" and Marte. seriously.
Just back from a trip out West with our grandsons, Did the Nat'l Pks…….. A great trip. The Yanks did great while I was gone, Now 11 games over .500 and making a move to take over the AL East lead, We now need a strong showing against the Sox, 2 of 3 or better yet, a sweep!!!
I agree get rid of Latroy, he's done absolutely nothing for us. Paplebon is overrated??, Are you kidding, he's a good young pitcher. I say if Washburn don't want NY screw him, We don't need him. But, Ichiro sounds good, He can hit and field with the best of 'em. Posoda should get the surgery now, He is not hitting up to standards with his injury and will not be a help. Jose is doing a fine job as backup. He has a more accurate arm than Jorge. It may be a good idea to go after Salta…… From the Rangers… I don't think Jorge is the answer at 1st, We're better off w/ Big G or Sexton. For #5 the Yanks are looking at Lowe w/LA . Moose has been the surprise of the season, I among with some of you we,re of the mind that he was about finished, thankfully we were wrong,and are now hoping he can get 20+ wins in 2008
yeah, our paper currency sucks cranberries. Most of our money has been up people's noses. ask the entire Mets team from the 80's. They had to keep an extra guy on nthe grounds crew to fix the field because Hernandez kept snorting up the first base line.
The above should reas fives tens twenties fifties and hundreds.
Yes enough but they do not really need Nade and Marte unless they com free or in a trade for Igawa and Hawkins combined.
Actually, a kilolitre is a unit of measuremnt used to measure the distance between the sun and then planet earth. a kile METRE is used to measure the distance between Paplebon's anus and his mouth. and according to the most recent measurements taken by doktor vinnie boombatz after the all star game, the distance is very, very small.
Kilometers and units of liquid surely there is such a thing as school in NYC. I did not wish to create controversy and a maths lesson. Don't you have metric in America. I do know that you have the worst form of paper currency though, only joking. I was though in NYC for two weeks in May and if you got hammered which I did often ( Hello Jimmy ) you can get the notes mixed up, a shoeshine guy almost got a $100 tip no wonder he was smiling.
You should check out our currency all different colors for 5s,twns 50,s and 100,s.
Enough though of the lesson
Have a great day all aand indeed God Bless America
Aussie Bryan
Guys it took Australia I I do love it here ) until 1964 to go to dollars in currency but we converted to metric in the eighties. KPH is kilometers per hour. To convert mph to kbp you multiply it by 5 and divide by 8, ie 100mph X 5 =800 divide by 8 = 160 kph. There you go guys a free maths and metric conversion lesson and a Yankee win all on the same day.
Aussie Bryan in down under but not quite totally in the past Australia.
Not true. That would be kiloliter. Liters are the measure of volume in the metric system. Ask the guy from Australia. He'll back me up.
I just thought of something after reading the informative and interesting "MLB trade rumers" website: Jarrod Washburn IS just another kei Igawa-High fast ball pitcher with no velocity. I liked the idea before but i must have been drinking or something. Thats a stupid idea. Trading for washburn I mean. not drinking. Unless its Heineken. Then thats just ludicrous.
Just trade for nady and marte and get it over with.
And the LAST thing the Yankees need to do is trade a promising young starter for a quick fix this season. Of the 5 guys in the rotation, all but Chamberlain are probably not going to be around for 3 more years. The Yanks need all the young starting pitching they can get.
I say if the rockies want kennedy for fuentes, then we need to expand that deal so we can get a bat back from them too. If we trade kennedy, then he has to be part of a package to get a reliever and a right handed bat.
Yeah, but if we trade for Vidro, he has to play in the Majors. At least Igawa can sit in the minors forever. What bugs the crap out of me is that we have all these issues-right handed hitter, lefty set up, 4 or 5 starter-and the only thing they can think of doing right now is dumping a salary of a player who won't smell the big leagues this summer?
Who cares that we won 6 straight. With that line of thinking, we won't make it out of august still in the pennant race.
Don't let this 6 game winning streak fool you. This team has 3 or 4 gaping holes that have to be filled in by the end of the month if they are going to compete the last two months of the season.
If Cashman actualldoes his job and gets the right guys in here, then we can really win this whole thing. This is a good team, but not a "championship" team just yet.
What a disgrace !!! …
A beautiful pitching performance by Mike Mussina was destroyed by LaTroy Hawkins … Mussina should have been allowed to stay in the game to complete the "shutout" !!! … With that said, this was another awesome performance by Mike Mussina … A great win for the Yankees, and a great way for the Yankees to get ready for the big weekend series against the Red Sox … Go Yankees !!! … First Place in the AL EAST is in very clear sight !!! … Jimmy [27NYY]
I can't believe the Yanks didn't go after Affeldt this off season. Even if he was doing as badly as Hawkins, at least he's left handed, so you can just bring him in to face whatever big lefthander. Then the damage he can do is limited to the one guy.
Hawkins is in the wrong environment. He should be in a place where he can excell. I would think Home Depot would be a great place for him. Hey, and a few years, he can make assistant shift supervisor!
Can't throw strikes with a 5 run lead….what a joke.
The only word for the performance of Mussina today ———-. There is no word that surpasses incredible, unbelievable there is simply no word. As I say to my boys in tennis you don,t have to hit the ball at 200 KPH sometimes 150 KPH is enough.
Even with the slight hiccup at the end with a run scored still a very well played game from start to finish with Mo his usual self.
Aussie Bryan who at 0550 is off to work. Boy do I miss NYC.
Jarrod Washburn? I didn't even know he was still pitching. I can't believe the Yankees are on his no-trade list. He sucks & should be honored this team is even thinking about him. Someone answer this for me….What does his ERA in NY matter if he were pitching for the Yanks? His ERA is decent because he pitches well against the Yanks. What's his ERA against Anaheim, Boston, Tampa, etc? That's what's important.
oh my god how much does he suck. Farnsworth should be pitching situations like this, and we NEEEEEEEED Fuentes or Marte.
DFA LaToya For sure.
He wouldn't even make the LI Ducks team.
OH! I know who you can trade him to: The Mets. They like to blow leads so He'll fit right in. You guys think cashman is bad? How'd you like to have Omar? Oh my, he's BAAAAD!
I think if you offer to throw in a Ham Sandwhich and a Rhinegold Omar would take hawkins, and send us, say every good play they have in their farm system.
Did you guys here that with Papelbum getting his 30th save yesterday, that it's the FIRST time in Red Sox history that they have had 30 plus saves in 3 consecutive seasons? What a bunch of tools.
Girardi has to be pissed off right now a five run lead and he has to bring in Mo because hawkins can't get three outs.
there is NO REASON for Mo to be in this game right now.
Freeeking Hawkins sucks. This is ridiculous.
Well, I guess Rivera might NOT get the day off after all. Laturd is going to pitch us right into a save situation.
Laturd Hawkins is a LOSER. He's got a 5 run lead and can't get anyone out. What a complete waste of a roster spot. DFA THIS CLOWN!!!!!!!!!
Vidro??? VIDRO?? Torrealba? I don't like where this is going.
And the red sox are interested in Texeira? Um, what?????
This sucks. We NEED to go after Nady and Marte. Cashman should be shipped to Abu-Dabi w/ Nermal if he doesn't make that deal.
Who cares about Kennedy?? We don't need him and we have a TON of arms in the Minors…sanchez, mccutchen, horne…..
I'm going to be sick. VIDRO????
105 pitches. I dont think a shutout is worth working Moose into the ground. Someone will finish the game for him.
Mike Mussina's last shutout was in 2005, when he had two shutouts with the Yankees … Mussina has 57 career Complete Games, including, 23 career Shutouts … In his Yankees career, Mike Mussina has 12 Complete Games, including "8" shutouts … What do you all think? Will Joe Girardi let Mussina stay in the game if he has a chance for a shutout??? … Of course, my answer is YES !!! … Well, I hope so !!! … Jimmy [27NYY] … http://baseballtheyankeesandlife.mlblogs.com/
Hey would you look at that.
Justin Christian made it to second base without falling on his face!
Way to go.
levelboss …
"Very Cool Video" of a Yankee rollcall by the "Bleacher Creatures" … It makes you feel like you are right there in the bleachers with the rest of the Yankee fans !!! … Jimmy
Robinson Cano …
Continues his "hot" hitting … That's six straight multi-hit games … And, Mike Mussina is pitching another awesome game !!! … Jimmy [27NYY] …
Ha ha ha I love the bleacher creatures especially Bald Vinny……Yo MEEELLLKKKYYY! Good Stuff.

Associated Press
CINCINNATI Not just any comeback would get San Francisco back to playing for a pennant. It would take one of Giant proportions.
And Buster Posey believed it could happen. Even after the Giants left the West Coast down two games, the National League batting champion insisted his team could pull it off, despite the long odds.
With one swing, he got everyone else believing it, too.
Posey hit the third grand slam in Giants postseason history on Thursday, and San Francisco pulled off an unprecedented revival, moving into the championship series with a 6-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
You dont want to be in a lose-and-youre-out scenario, reliever Jeremy Affeldt said, wearing a brace on his left wrist so he didnt hurt it in the champagne-flavored clubhouse celebration. Weve been in that situation for three days. Were probably going to sleep well tonight.
Theyll play either Washington or St. Louis for the NL pennant, Sunday, not caring at all who they face.
We could go up against anybody at any time, shortstop Brandon Crawford said. Being down 2-0 and coming back and winning three at their place, its an unbelievable feeling.
Game 1 of the NL championship series will be Sunday, either in Washington against the Nationals or in San Francisco vs. the Cardinals. In the meantime, the Giants will stay in Cincinnati until their next opponent is determined Friday night when the Cards and Nats play Game 5.
The Giants became the first NL team to overcome a 2-0 deficit in the division series, which began in 1995. Major League Baseballs changed playoff format this season allowed them to become the first to take a best-of-five by winning the last three on the road.
Poseys second career grand slam off Mat Latos put the Giants up 6-0 in the fifth and sparked a joyous scrum in the San Francisco dugout. The ball smacked off the front of the upper deck in left field, just above Latos name on the video board.
For the first time in the series, the Giants could exhale.
I dont think anybody gave up, Posey said.
Will Clark, in the 1989 NLCS, and Chuck Hiller, in the 1962 World Series, hit the other Giants slams in the postseason.
Matt Cain and the bullpen held on, with more help from Posey. The All-Star catcher threw out Jay Bruce at third base to snuff out a sixth-inning rally that cut it to 6-3. The Giants had a pair of diving catches that preserved the lead in the eighth.
There was more drama in the ninth. Ryan Ludwick singled home a run off Sergio Romo. With two runners aboard, Romo fanned Scott Rolen to end it.
The Giants raised their arms, hugged and huddled by the side of the mound, bouncing in unison.
It was a spectacular moment, outfielder Hunter Pence said.
WASHINGTON, D.C. Joyous, bouncing teammates waiting to greet him at home, the red-clad crowd raucous as can be, Jayson Werth yanked off his red batting helmet with two hands and thrust it a dozen or more feet overhead.
A little less than two years ago, the Washington Nationals showered Werth with millions, persuading him to come show them how to win. On Thursday night, with one swing of his black bat, Werth delivered a game-ending homer to extend his clubs surprising season and wipe away whatever disappointments marred his days in D.C.
Werth led off the bottom of the ninth inning with a 13-pitch at-bat against reliever Lance Lynn that ended with the ball landing beyond the wall in left field, giving the Nationals a tense 2-1 victory over the defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals and forcing a deciding Game 5 in their NL division series.
Thats the way that game should have ended: Jayson Werth hitting a home run, Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. He has not hit that many this year. ... Unbelievable. Great effort on his part.
The best-of-five series will end Friday night in Washington, with the winner advancing to face the San Francisco Giants in the NL championship series. The starters will provide a rematch of Game 1, which Washington won, with Gio Gonzalez on the mound for the NL East champion Nationals, and Adam Wainwright for the wild-card Cardinals.
Its what you play all season for, and what you work out all winter for, and what you get to spring training early for, Werth said. We have a chance tomorrow to take that next step. I know my teammates will be ready. And the city will, too.
The homer was Werths first of the series, the 14th of his postseason career. He won the 2008 World Series and a string of division titles with the Philadelphia Phillies, then moved to Washington before last season as a free agent on a $126 million, seven-year contract that stunned much of baseball.He managed to hit only five homers and 31 RBIs in 2012, missing 75 games because of a broken left wrist. Last year, his first in Washington, Werth hit only .232 with 58 RBIs, and there was grumbling about his worth.

It has been a while since I posted a postcard on my blog, this postcard is one that I mentioned several weeks ago when describing one of the sections of my South Downs Way walks.
This is the V-shaped piece of woodland that was planted to celebrate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887. So far I have not been able to find out any more about this arboreal memorial, such as who did the actual planting? Who paid for it? Were there any other celebrations at the time? When were they actually planted?
There is no clue as to the publisher of the postcard, or it's date. The trees were obviously quite well established when photographed and I love the fact that the photographer has also captured the harvest in progress, with the crops stacked up in stooks.
The V is actually on the northern face of Streat Hill in the parish of Streat, Sussex. The view of the V from the South Downs Way, which runs across the top of the hill, is not particularly good, there is a much better view from the road which runs along the foot of the Downs.

Through the eyes of...Jo Q. Name, nickname and tell us briefly about yourself? My connection to the Crystal Castle goes back quite a while. I used to work in one of the Crystal Castle shops in Brisbane, Crystal Living. For reasons of my own I felt it was time to make a move and decided to move to the area. My arrival here was crazy and fast but in less than week I had a cabin and a job here at the Crystal Castle. It was very synchronistic. My hobbies include singing, writing songs, crystals of course and anything creative and magical.
Q. What do you love about working here and how long have you been on the Castle team?I have been working here for over two years and it's the energy of the Castle, and the land here, it is quite powerful. The beauty, the nature, the women and the staff I work with. Working here expands your awareness and I feel your spiritual growth, understanding and experience is fast tracked. It's a quickening of information.
Q. What is your favourite dish from the Lotus Cafe?Thai chicken patties and salad. They are yummy!!
Q. Do you have a favourite statue and why?Yes I do, I have several but for now Avalokiteshvara. It's the space around the statue too; it is very quiet, beautiful and nurturing. There is something very special about this area; the statue is an embodiment of Quan Yin. Lakshmi too, her space is very lush and magical. Also Durga, she is strength and power, she has been described to me as an Earth Angel.
Q. If you could buy anything from the Castle, what would you buy?Well, I would buy all the 'Big Crystals'.
Q. What's your favourite crystal and why?That's a tricky one; I have lots of favourites. At the moment I'm working with Larimar, Blue Lace Agate and Aqua Aura. These are what I am drawn to at the moment, however, it always shifts. Blue Lace Agate for communication and the lymph glands. Larimar, it is such a soothing and calming stone and Aqua Aura is absolutely amazing in its intensity and softness. Intuitively I feel these stones are helping me with my singing, as my music is moving forward.
Q. Do you have a special moment or story about a Castle visitor?Well, this moment was pretty amazing, it blew me away. I was working at the Welcome Hut and a mother and daughter came up to me quietly, they were on their way home. They said, 'we just want to show you this photo. It's very unusual'. The picture was of the mother and daughter standing in front of Lakshmi. They had another visitor take the photo for them. In the photo over the top of their heads and Lakshmi's head was this pink light which then turned into purple light. They were between the light and Lakshmi. There was no way we could see how this light could have refracted from anywhere. It was such a special moment. I have since been shown many photos taken by visitors in places along the Buddha walk showing orbs of light.
Q. When did you get your first crystal and what was it?My very first crystal was from a lucky dip when I was a little girl. It was a Koala pendant with a piece of Opal set in its belly. I thought it was so beautiful, all shiny and I still have it.
