There is yet much to learn about the baby's digestive apparatus. Any knowledge added, no matter how small in amount, will bring us nearer the desired goal of maximum information. This work was undertaken by us on account of the scarcity of reports especially concerning the motility of the child's stomach under the varying influences of posture.
Observations on Positions of the Stomach.
—Sixteen observations of the effect of body posture on the position of the stomach were made in four cases. The influence of gravity both on the shape of the stomach and the position of the meal is well demonstrated in the illustrations. The gas bubble, no matter what the position of the stomach may be, always rises to the highest point of the stomach. We noted in one of our patients that at the age of 3 years the stomach approximated the adult type both in form

Even with warmer spring weather on the horizon, Altoona Rescue Mission's closure during winter's coldest weeks has left a void in shelter services to men in need.
All of that could change soon.
Business Manager Clair Chappell said the mission, a men-only shelter, helped 100 to 200 men per year before it closed in October, and he hopes that a partnership with Reliance Bank will help the shelter not only reopen, but expand.
Chappell said he met with Reliance Bank representatives in mid-January, who agreed to match up to $25,000 in donations to get the mission at 815 Lexington Ave. up and running again.
Reliance Bank Vice President Chris Kirwin said the mission is a longtime bank customer and some employees' family members are associated with the group. But there also are moral reasons that compelled them to act.
"As a bank being mutually rooted with the community, Reliance Bank has always felt its responsibility to help local agencies address particularly difficult circumstances, like the one facing the Rescue Mission," he said.
Kent Fluke, Mission board treasurer, said the board made the decision to close the shelter based on dwindling finances and the retirement of its superintendent, Richard McLaughlin, when no one else stepped up to run the shelter.
Since its closing, the mission has received more than $5,000 in donations, the amount needed to run the shelter for one month, but have other debts left to pay, including a $24,500 mortgage on the shelter's property and $9,400 from a line of credit.
The mission had been in trouble for some time; according to Guidestar, the mission reported total revenue in 2011 of $76,165, including thrift store profits, with expenses totaling $86,895.
Blair County Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Joe Hurd told the Mirror in December that people should care about the mission's success because lending a helping hand shows compassion for those who are "struggling to put their lives back together."
The only other shelter in Blair County that does not address the needs of a certain niche, like the Salvation Army's drug and rehabilitation program or Family Services Inc.'s teenager and domestic-violence shelters, is Family Services' emergency shelter.
Family Services Team Leader Bryan Lytle said reopening the Rescue Mission would take pressure off the Family Services shelter, which helped 44 men, 53 women and 20 children between July and Jan. 1.
He said he's had to turn away 284 people in that six-month period, since the facility can house only 16 people.
"We're usually full, almost every night," Lytle said.
Lytle said he turned away 23 men in both December and January.
"I've turned away a lot of individuals," Lytle said.
The Rescue Mission has one asset - McLaughlin's house, which is listed at $29,900. Once the house sells, donations are collected and the bank provides its matching funds, the mission will "be in good financial order," Chappell said, and could reopen as soon as next month.
Kirwin said the bank wanted to do more than just help the mission reopen, and that's why they settled on the $25,000 figure.
"We also wanted to help with capital improvements to the Rescue Mission building and their thrift store," he said.
Chappell said along with the board looking for somebody to run the mission, it is also looking at possibly remodeling the shelter to add a dining room in the basement or expand the director's living quarters.
He said it also may expand its reach to more than a men's shelter.
"In today's world, we must not forget about women, children and families," he said. "I certainly believe that somewhere up the road we need to move forward and make that opportunity."
Chartered in 1874, the Rescue Mission has served the community for nearly 140 years and Chappell is looking forward to being able to work there again.
"Our main goal is to provide the community a service," he said.
Mirror Staff Writer Kelly Cernetich is at 946-7520.

For the second straight year, the Pittsburgh Pirates were the feel-good story in Major League Baseball through the first four months of the season, before watching their season implode over the final two months.
For Pirates team president Frank Coonelly, who visited Altoona Tuesday night with team broadcasters Steve Blass and Greg Brown for the annual Altoona Curve Booster Club Members dinner at the UVA Club, the ending to the Pirates' 2012 season was particularly difficult to digest.
"It's painful [to discuss],'' Coonelly said. "We really had a terrific year going. We were playing very good baseball through the first week of August and into September, and we had put ourselves into a position where we could meet our goals and objectives of winning our division. Then, obviously, we did not play well the last two months of the season.''
Article Photos
Entering play on Aug. 9, the Pirates had a 63-47 record and were in second place in the National League's Central Division, just 2 games behind the eventual division champion Cincinnati Reds. Less than three weeks later, they trailed the Reds by a full nine games.
The Pirates finished the season with a 16-36 record and a National League-worst winning percentage of .308 over their last 52 games. They wound up with a 79-83 record and a fourth-place finish in the NL Central, 18 games behind the Reds.
"It was a story of two seasons - the first four months and the last two months,'' said Blass, who served as the evening's guest speaker. "It's a very long season. It's a grind. You've got to be good enough to sustain excellence over the entire season. If you're not, you'll be exposed.''
Coonelly and the Pirates have been soul-searching since this past season's end, examining the reasons for the team's latest collapse. They'll spend the winter addressing issues to prevent a re-occurence in the future.
"We've spent a lot of time from the day the season ended trying to figure out what happened over the past two months of the season,'' Coonelly said.
Among the major problems were a pitching staff that performed exceedingly well through the All-Star break, then wore down in the second half, an offense that was one of the National League's best in June and July but which underperfomed in the other four months of the season, and the inability of the team's catchers and pitchers to stop opposing baserunners.
The acquisition of veteran lefthander Wandy Rodriquez from the Houston Astros at the trade deadline and the stability of veteran righthander A.J. Burnett provided a boost to the pitching staff, but was offset by the inexplicable tailspin of righthander James McDonald in the second half of the season, as well as injuries sustained by righties Charlie Morton and Jeff Karstens.
"We had more pitching depth last season than we've had in recent years, and the pick-up of Wandy Rodriquez at the trade deadline helped considerably,'' Coonelly said. "Having Wandy for an entire year next season will be very helpful. In my opinion, James McDonald should have been an All-Star based on the first half of his season, but he really struggled in the second half, and we have to figure out how to get James back on track.''
With righty Kevin Correia likely to take the free-agency route out of town, the Pirates will be in the market for more pitching help this winter.
"As we saw with teams that went deep into the playoffs this year, you can never have enough pitching depth,'' Coonelly said. "We'll be continuing to look into both the free agent and trade markets for pitching. But we need to address our catching situation as well.''
Both Michael McKenry and veteran Rod Barajas struggled mightily against opposing running games this season.
"We did not control the running game last year, and that is not entirely on the catchers,'' Coonelly said. "Our pitchers need to give our catchers a chance to throw out runners. Addressing our inability to control the opponents' running game will be a main focus for us going into next year.''
The Pirates featured a pair of hitters with 30 or more homers - Andrew McCutchen (31) and Pedro Alvarez (30), and another, Garrett Jones, with 27 - but the Bucs lacked offensive consistency over the entire season.
"We were up and down offensively,'' said Coonelly. "We have to figure out how to get a more consistent approach at the plate.''

Monday, February 3, 2014
It didn't take long. An introduction on the field and a few minutes together in the dugout and most everyone in Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park was enthralled.
It's not every day you meet a childhood hero or a sports legend. The Citadel baseball team met both Friday as Atlanta Braves All-Star catcher Javy Lopez and Hall of Fame pitcher Phil Niekro joined the team for its afternoon practice. Midway through, Niekro and Lopez stepped onto the field to greet the team, umpires, staff and anyone else who wanted a handshake, autograph or picture. Some called them heroes or idols, one even boasted to having a picture of Lopez holding him as a baby.
Neikro was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1997 after tallying more than 300 wins as a knuckleball pitcher. He made five all-star appearances and won five Gold Gloves. Lopez was the starting catcher for the 1995 World Series champion Atlanta Braves. He's a three-time all-star and 1996 NLCS MVP.
Since retiring in 2006, Lopez says he's spending more time with his kids and playing golf. Niekro's passion has turned to chasing fish around Georgia when he's not helping coach his grandson's travel ball team.
"I fish a lot but not as much as I used to," Niekro joked. "I don't get out more than three times a day right now so I'm kind of backing off (fishing)."
The two were in town as keynote speakers for Friday night's 10th annual Hot Stove Banquet and Auction, a fundraising initiative benefitting the Storm Eye Institute at MUSC, as well as The Citadel, College of Charleston and Charleston Southern baseball.
Both reminisced on their playing days and talked about the current Braves team but also came with a message for the younger generations. Lopez centered on the game and the importance of persevering through its challenges.
"It's never easy to obtain your goals," he said. "It takes a lot of sacrifice. Basically, you have to go through hell to get to heaven. That's what happened to me. Going through the minor leagues ... wasn't easy for me. But I never gave up. I battled and did what I have to do to make it to the big league. I did what I had to do to stay in the big league, which is the hardest part in my opinion."
Niekro brought a broader message of appreciating family values. He mused over his childhood, playing bingo with his mother and learning his father's infamous knuckle ball at 10 years old in his backyard in West Virginia. He spoke fondly of his late brother, Joe, who he says gave him the greatest gift he has ever received.
"That was three words, I love you," Niekro said. "I think that's the greatest gift you can give anybody. I don't think we say that enough. Some 84,000 seconds in a day, it takes one second or two seconds to say that. You never know what's going to happen tomorrow so it's a nice gift to give everybody every day."
Lopez and Niekro both still follow the Braves. Lopez said the recent induction of Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine was only a matter of time. He praised current Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez and the job he's done taking over for longtime manager Bobby Cox.
"I'm very happy to see (Maddux and Glavine) go in at the same time," Lopez said. "That's something very special.
"Fredi has done a tremendous job. It was hard to fill out Bobby Cox's shoes once he retired ... and so far he's done a really good job. People like him, players like him, respect him. Hopefully, with the team we have, we can do some damage."
Niekro travels to Florida to watch the Braves' spring training but says he's just as big a fan of minor league baseball, especially the Braves' Triple-A affiliate, the Gwinnett Braves.
"I love minor league baseball," he said. "So I go there a lot to see the future guys that are going to be in the big leagues. Everybody thinks baseball is just big leagues but there's some great baseball in the minor league systems and the (Charleston) RiverDogs here have a great ballpark so those of you who haven't been out here, come out and see some great baseball."

January 1, 2009
According to U.S. News & World Report, a new study reveals that people with mental illness who have parity in cost sharing are more likely to receive timely outpatient care following a hospitalization than those patients in Medicare plans with intermediate or no cost parity.
Most Medicare plans do not offer equal coverage for mental health services compared with other medical services. Researchers studied the coverage of outpatient mental and general medical services for more than 300 Medicare plans over a five-year period. More than 75% of Medicare plans required patients to pay for a greater portion of mental health care costs.

Ooh, that one's pretty, too. Do you have any advise for a pouch sling? I just got one to take on a conference with me in a few weeks & am not sure I'm wearing it right. It's handmade, but like a Hotsling, I guess. Here are some pics of me trying it on for the first time. I used it at the store this evening with my 6.5-mo-old & it felt like she was about to fall out.ReplyDelete

New Mexico is in for one more day of dry-gusty winds on Friday. By mid-afternoon many spots will see winds gusting over 35 mph. This will create areas of blowing dust and a high fire threat.
Winds will settle down a bit on Saturday. However, more humid air will push in by Sunday. This could trigger some isolated daytime "gusty" thunderstorms. The kind which if you are near one it will be more wind than rain.
Have a great weekend.

Work that the Buffalo School District is doing in coordination with the community to update the student Code of Conduct offers a better chance to keep the focus on education.
According to a preliminary draft of the code, students would no longer be suspended for such offenses as cutting classes, violating the dress code, loitering in the hall or using their cellphones in school.
The long-overdue changes would take effect in 2013-14 if the School Board approves them in June.
The last major overhaul of the document was 20 years ago, and included boiler plate language from the state that stressed punitive action rather than keeping students in school while a restorative system worked to get to the bottom of problems.
The new code, "Developing Safe and Supportive Schools: Standards for Community-Wide Conduct and Intervention Supports," takes a progressive approach in different tiers of disciplinary responses, based on the severity of a students' misbehavior.
Some of the district's strongest critics have been working with officials in crafting a better code.
The first two public reflection meetings to review the draft of the new Code of Conduct will be hosted this month and next by the Alliance for Quality Education and Citizen Action. Buffalo ReformED will host the third.
District officials are hoping that giving these organizations a platform by which they can share their goals and express their commitment will also allow community groups to be partners in the entire experience.
It's a far different approach from the current code, one that elicited such an outcry from the community last year over the fact that more than 12,000 suspensions were being handed out annually for nonviolent offenses.
Out-of-school suspensions became an issue when Jawaan Daniels was fatally shot one afternoon while he was waiting for a bus shortly after he was suspended from Lafayette High School for wandering the halls.
Since then, despite its fiscal restraints the district has added social workers, counselors and psychologists in an effort to reduce suspensions. Shifting from a punitive document to a restorative set of principles should reduce suspensions while protecting both students and staff.
The focus in the new code is on identifying the underlying issues that may have caused a student to misbehave, and providing support to address those issues. It details the appropriate level of response for each type of misconduct. For example, "failure to follow directions" could result in detention, mediation, parental notification or several other such lower-level consequences.
A new code that uses a tiered approach based on the severity of a student's misbehavior does not mean suspensions will be outlawed. Administrators will still have that tool available.
And violence, especially involving older students, will still be a law enforcement matter. Out-of-school suspensions, especially for younger students, may be meaningless or even counter-productive. District officials have said that restorative, rather than punitive, responses to misconduct require an investment in in-school suspension. And that may be the most logical answer in certain cases.
The new Code of Conduct will give the district, parents, students and community a playbook of rules everyone can live by.

Sabres president Ted Black couldn't offer any specifics Tuesday about what benefits fans will get in the wake of the NHL lockout. But General Manager Darcy Regier said the NHL should use the same theory it did in 2005 when it returned after missing an entire season: Put more offense back into the game.
The Sabres, remember, took full advantage of rule changes and their offensive personnel out of the last lockout and ended up in back-to-back Eastern Conference finals. In the 2006-07 season, they scored a league-high 308 goals.
Power plays were way up as obstruction and interference penalties were tightly called. That emphasis has basically gone away the last couple of years and so has scoring.
Many NHL observers think tighter whistles will return this year. In 2005-06, the first year after the last lockout, NHL teams combined for 6.1 goals per game. The figure dropped to just 5.32 last year.
"You don't start out playing minor hockey to be the best defender there is," Regier said. "You start it out because you want to score goals and I think goal scoring is a real important aspect of our game to the extent that we don't allow our best players to be productive offensively."
NHL offenses have been stymied in recent years and the Sabres had just 218 goals last season, their lowest total in nine years.
"Teams don't have the same number of offensive players and are trying to stop the best ones, there's natural downward pressure on offense," Regier said. "You always have to be opening up offensive valves, giving offense another better opportunity and keeping defense off balance."
One young player who could give the Sabres a quick spark is 18-year-old Mikhail Grigorenko, the team's No. 1 draft pick. Regier confirmed Tuesday that Grigorenko, the Russian World Junior star, has been invited to training camp. He can play up to nine games, at which time his entry-level contract will kick in or he has to be returned to his junior team.
The 6-foot-3 Grigorenko, taken 12th overall, has 29 goals and 50 points in 30 games for the Quebec Remparts.
"The deciding factor won't come down to whether we burn a year on the contract or not," Regier said. "It's going to be about the hockey club, it's going to be about his ability to play for this team, contribute to this team ."
Regier said the Sabres will have a tight training camp with few extra players. Marcus Foligno and Cody Hodgson have already been pulled from the lineup in Rochester while defenseman T.J. Brennan, who must clear waivers to continue with the Amerks, will also be in camp while the Sabres figure out what to do about his situation.
As for injuries, Regier admitted there are plenty of "unknowns" as players return to Buffalo and take physicals. The GM said Nathan Gerbe (back surgery) is getting closer to being ready but also revealed that Cody McCormick has had a recurring finger problem all summer and likely will miss the opening of the season.
Regier said he expects defenseman Tyler Myers, who missed nearly three weeks in Austria with an ankle injury, to be ready.

MARTINSBURG - Kristen Dorsey likes to say that she was organic before organic was cool.
"I and a lot of other people are allergic to beauty products on the shelf," she said during a recent interview. "I am a woman who likes to look nice, but I couldn't use the stuff on the shelf."
This started her on a 20-year quest, learning about natural ingredients and experimenting with producing natural skin-care aides.

Kristen Dorsey of Divine Journeys stands before her line of natural beauty products designed exclusively for The Strand Hair Studio in Martinsburg. She introduced the product line during Pure Botanical Spa Days, March 2-3.
In 2004, she formed Divine Journeys, where she offers shamanic, herbal and energy healing services and workshops as well as her apothecary, where she produces natural skin care products, according to her website.
Dorsey has studied medical herbalism extensively at the American College of Health Care Science, Green Comfort School of Herbal Medicine and the Foundation for Shamanistic Studies. She continues to study with nationally known herbalists. She offers herbal consultations for the community.
Dorsey recently introduced a line of natural beauty products exclusively for The Strand Hair Studio in Martinsburg during Pure Botanical Spa Days hosted by Tambra Petty, owner of The Strand. The Spa Days featured demonstrations of the exclusive line of products, facials, massages and consultations.
"This is completely botanical skin care, 100 percent botanical," she explained. "There are no chemicals, no preservatives, no alcohol, no added water, no perfumes and no fragrances. People try this and they come back."
When using products with chemicals, preservatives and other non-natural ingredients, the skin absorbs those ingredients and, in turn, they are absorbed into the blood stream, she told the about 10 women gathered for the Saturday afternoon Spa Day.
The spa-quality line of products developed exclusively for The Strand includes formulas for dry and mature skin, normal and combination skin and oily and problem skin. Dorsey also introduced The Strand hair oil.
During the Pure Botanical Spa Days, Sara Brink, who performs facials at The Strand, demonstrated how to use the products. Beth Duncan volunteered to be her subject.
Brink applied cleanser, toner and a facial mask to Duncan.
"It's fabulous, relaxing," Duncan said after getting the mask. "The sensations are out of this world. It's very sensuous."
And Sandra Meyer, who does massages and teaches yoga at The Strand, offered sitting back massages.
Tambra Petty's The Strand at 214 W. King St. in downtown Martinsburg caters to professional women, Petty said.
"Hair care is quite a necessity for our professional clientele," she said. "When people are professionals, it's part of the expense of being a professional."

NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
W - Billingsley (1-0)
L - Zambrano (0-1)
Things to Take from This Game
1. Alex Gonzalez Redux
Second inning with Ethier on first, the dodgers put on a hit and run. Loney hits the ball to shortstop. But with Theriot covering the bag, he's out of position, can't make the barehand stop of the chopper. Ruled a hit. Correctly. Two batters later, DeWitt hits a potential inning-ending double-play ball right at DeRosa, but it pops out of his glove, and everyone's safe with a run scoring on the play. Lee makes an error on the next play, a chopper right at him hit by Blake, loading the bases. A Furcal bunt and a Martin bases-clearing double to the left-center Gap, and the Cubs found themselves down 5-0 going into the bottom of the second. A particular shame as Z had looked really focused, sharp, pitching quickly, with an awesome fastball, only to have his defense betray him and then give up a legit double.
- Ramirez also made a lame error a couple innings later. No damage was done, save to our pride.
- And Theriot gives the Cubs infield the Defensive Anti-Cycle, an error by each infielder, when he throws one away in the ninth.
2. Manny Ramirez Redux
Manny hit a gargantuan home run. He's good.
3. Ah, screwit.
Cotts and Marmol struggled, the Cubs got through 2/9ths of a 9-run comeback in the bottom of the ninth, other things probably happened to.
The "we have not yet begun to fight!" "No, really... we haven't yet begun to fight...." details, below.

- Edmonds hits a high arcing double off the top of the left-center ivy. Kemp made a leap for it into the ivy, I thought he was going to make a spectacular catch. Lots of ivy come falling to the ground, as does the ball. Run scores, 7-1 dodgers
- Soto grounds a single through the left-side hole, Edmonds holds at third. first and third, two outs.
- Cory Wade in for Billingsly.
- Fukudome bounces to Furcal, gets the force at second base. Inning over.
Inning 8 - Top
- Marmol in for Cotts
- Blake rolls a single through the left-side hole.
- Bit of a nifty play as Angel Berroa pinch hits forWade, bunt rolls one out to Lee wide of first base. He shovels to first, where Marmol is racing to cover and DeRosa already is there. DeRosa grabs it, just beating Berroa. Blake to second
- Furcal singles to right, and uncharacteristically, Fukudome Jacque Joneses one to the plate. Blake slides around the tag. 8-1 dodgers.
- Martin K's looking
- Manny bloops one into shallow right-center. Edmonds makes a nice diving effort for it, comes up short, lands awkwardly on his right wrist and elbow. Stays in the game. Furcal scores, 9-1 dodgers
- Ethier K's swinging on a full count.
Inning 8 - Bottom
- Fontenot in to hit for Marmol
- and rolls to DeWitt
- Soriano with a one-hopper to Blake. 5-3.
- And Theriot with another pedestrian 5-3.
Inning 9 - Top
- Wood in
- Loney flies to Fukudome
- Kemp flies out just short of the warning track in center.
- Pierre hits for Wade. Hot smash to Theriot, Ball pops out of his glove. Picks it up, poor throw to first, hops away from Lee, for an error. Each infielder now has made an error. Pierre to second.
- Blake rolls a single up the middle, just left of the bag. Pierre scores. 10-1 dodgers
- Berroa with a single through the left side hole, Blake to second.
- Furcal pops to Fukudome, mercifully ending the Cubs defensive effort for the night.
Inning 9 - Bottom
- Saito in.
- Lee lines a one-hop double into the left-center ivy. Ground Rule Double.
- Ramirez lines one through the left-side hole. First and Third.
- DeRosa lines one that lands just a fraction of an inch foul of the left-field line. Announcers think it had to have caught at least a blade of foul-line white-colored grass. Nuts.
- Ramirez to second uncontested
- DeRosaLines one to right-center. Kemp misjudges it a bit, it gets over his head for a double. Two runs score. Ramirez almost runs past Lee on the way. 10-3 Cubs. DeRosa keeps going to right-center with good results.
- Pie hits for Edmonds. Have to assume that he's feeling the effects of that dive.
- Broxton in to face Pie. This just isn't fair.
- Well I'll be hornswaggled. Pie walks. Runners on 1 and 2
- Ball one to Soto. Still no one out. Still down 7, though.
- Soto rips one to the second baseman, but Berroa makes a nice leap for it (Berroa stayed in on a double-switch, forgot to mention that) for the out. Runners scamper back to the bags.
- Fukudome K's looking, third K tonight, crowd boos.
- Ward pinch-hits for Wood
- 3-1 on Ward. Crowd standing, but also sort of quiet.
- 3-2 on Ward, a fastball low and inside gets called strike three to end the gme. Ward was pretty surprised and upset. Rightfully so.

Strangely Constipated
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Now I am watching the debate... pretty sure it will be more fun than the game.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
lou just said that Kosuke is done...for all intents and purposes
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
"Yeah, you know what? From now on, I don't want to hear about Fukudome anymore as far as whether he's gonna play or not. I'm going to play Fontenot or Reed Johnson or somebody else and that's the end of that story. The kid's struggling and there's no sense sending him out there anymore."
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
The truth finally comes out. Took 2 ugly losses to make it happen.
So any chance Fuku goes back to Japan for 09? Going to be interesting.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
done... for this year. and if needed, he will be a defensive replacement, i am sure.
but it is about time. i am not sure that it would have made much of a different in either game, but he sure isn't helping the team.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
So who goes in RF Saturday?
Johnson or is Derosa healthy enough to do it? Or even Pie?
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
I vote Johnson simply because this team needs an injection of energy. We do have a daunting task in front of us, but I do like our chances. Harden V. Kuroda should be a big edge to us as long as we dont defeat ourselves, Lilly in Game 4 will have a tough matchup with Lowe, but he has been our best pitcher in the last month and Dodger Stadium is tailored made for his strengths. In Game 5 it would likely be a Zambrano-Billngsley rematch and if Z does not have to get 7 outs in an inning we have a good chance. I would say our odds are about 33%, but I think were more capable of doing it than Milwaukee or the Angels and White Sox if they lose tomorrow.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
I must admit that I am incredibly unimpressed with Lou in both of our Playoff appearances last year and this year.
Most certainly the primary reason that the cubs are on the verge of elimination this year -- and that they have looked lifeless against LA and last year against Arizona comes down to player performance. That and perhaps a team this year who peaked with the bats too early and who have two pitchers with possible health issues (and a shaky closer).
But as a far bigger believer in momentum and manager influence than many on this list I gotta say that both years Lou made CRITICAL management errors in Game One of short series:
- Last year of course was pulling Z to save him for a possible 2nd appearance in the series.
- this year failing to recognize that Dempster was in meltdown mode despite obvious control issues as early as the 3rd inning and certainly by 4 and 2/3 innings where he had walked SEVEN.
Both mismanagement decisions are essentially the same mistake. FAILING TO TAKE GAME ONE OF A SHORT SERIES serious enough.
For those of you who are statistically minded the numbers pretty much say it all. In the NLDS short series if you win game one you have a 86% chance of winning the series and advancing.
SOOOOOOO given that in a sense winning the first game IS winning the series. Think of it as an elimination game: Does it make sense that in 2007 Lou would pull his ace Zambrano so early against Arizona while he was in dominant form? Does it make sense that he would leave Dempster in after 7 walks in 4 2/3 innings with a 2 run cushion and with the bases loaded with walks in the current inning?
I personally don't think so.
Add to all this the amount of pressure the Chicago Cubs face as a franchise. The incredible expections and the delicate nature of any player in those circumstances.
I am sure I will hear the usual chorus of people saying that managers don't matter and that the players play the game.
But think of it this way. If Lou plays game one both years like it is the 7th game of the world series (leaving Z in in 2007, pulling a embarassingly wild Dempster out in 2008), momentum could have swung in the Cubs favor and player performances could have been dramatically different.
DeRosa gave us a fighting chance, but Lou didn't correctly gauge the confidence game or the gravity of a Game One victory for the second year in a row. If he is lucky enough to have another game one in future years I hope he fights for it and makes better decisions.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
I thought 03 was bad...at least in 03 they won the series vs the Braves and put up a fight until the last 10 innings vs the Marlins.
Its really worse than the Buffalo Bills...at least the Bills won lots of playoff games to get to the Super Bowl.
I'm definitely in venting mode here.
Screw these choking jokers!
And win the damn series too!
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
I remember us leading in game 7 of 2003? Didn't Wood's HR put us on top?
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Wood tied it, Alou put them ahead with 2 run hr 5-3
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Keep venting fellas, we all need it. At the start of each day though, we Cubs fans are still the most hopeful and optimistic bunch of sumbitches.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
In LA on Saturday. If the Cubs are going to lose, I'm going to do something I've never done at a baseball game. Leave early. If the Cubs win... I'll be back on Sunday and we'll do it again. I don't expect the Cubs to win this series but I keep the faith.
Even though they haven't looked this way, clearly, the Cubs are the better team. 3 game winning streak? We can only hope and if they do it, I'll be witness to history in the two big games in LA.
Go Cubs!
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
well the one thing that the Cubs have going for them is that choking isn't gonna happen in LA because the incredible pressure of the Wrigley fans won't be an issue, LA is pretty mellow stadium, and it's a pitchers park.
They might fall asleep or play uninspired (I think they'll play hard myself) but I don't think you'll see absurd nerves like Dempster in game one and the infield defense in game two.
You could also argue that our two most effective pitchers of late are going to pitch too. Lilly has been lights out lately and Harden is basically an automatic 5-6 innings with 1 earned run. And we'll have a scrappier lineup without Fuk in right field.
There is still reason for hope. It's a little hard: but here's to hope!
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
strangely confident?
I'll admit I was, too. But, at this point it's become "how can the cubs lose this game?" it's cubbery, everywhere.
it makes me sad. really, really unbelievably sad.

Frodo to Samwise: "I don't know if I can do this anymore, Sam."
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
I'm going to hold my head up about this today because I have to. First of all, I need to keep things in perspective; I don't live in a mud hut in Gonaives, I haven't lost my life savings (yet). Secondly, I work amid a throng of Sox fans, and if anybody gives it to me they're gonna get it right back...
...even if I am heartsick. I was endlessly impressed with this team during the season for its depth, strength, and resilience. The bright glare of media attention, with its flip "so, are you losers gonna do it this year? Lose a game? Back to reality, losers!" attitude, seems to have sapped those things mightily, or at least that's what I tell myself as endlessly seems to be ending.
Please, Harden: come through. And for the love of God, hitters: remember that staggering weakly after low-outside pitches is what you don't do, haven't done, must not do.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Two home games, Dempster and Z starting. Combined score 17-5. Four errors in one game. Sarah Palin played better than the Cubs last night. Has the home team ever had a -12 run differential in the first 2 home games of an NLDS? Inconceivable.
At least I got to bed at a decent hour.
With Harden and Lilly going, I do think they have a good shot to win the next 2.
Fukudome shouldn't bat again this year. This has been obvious to eveyone else in the league for quite some time When the Cubs had a flicker of hope in the 7th - 2 on, 2 out -- Fukudome was due up. Torre goes to his bullpen, but brings in a RH pitcher to keep Fukudome in the game. He hits one of his patented limp grounders (which was better than his 3 K's). He will be an issue for the next 3 years.
Aye Carumba.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
I am so sick of wasting so much time in my life watching the cubs. 162 games on tv, on radio, in person, game-day, mobile phone, text messages. 162 games of constant obsession, constant over analyzing. Every year I get pissed and swear them off and then every year some off season move pulls me back in.
There is some other thing happening...
1. Alex Gonzalez (highest fielding pct in the NL) - boots the DP.
2. Two dominating pitchers suddenly lose it in the NLCS
3. Sudden lifeless offense against the d-backs
4. All infielders make an error?!?!?!?!?! WTF?
5. Guy who wins 14 home games or whatever can't find the plate?!?!
6. The most patient offense in the league suddenly is hacking?
Are you kidding me?
So we look at these series and we look at stats and we say Cubs have better Defense, better Offense and almost as good pitching, we should win this in 4 or 5.
we fail to mention all those stats mean absolutely nothing to the Cubs. They are all out the window. There is another force here. The Chi or something. I was there game 1, the Chi was all off. F Lou, it wasn't a corporate crowd, it was YOU. It was the CUBS! There is no inner peace. No swagger, only the weight of a lot of aching cub fan hearts. And I don't care what people say or the players play down, it does matter. Its hard to win games on pins and needles.
I am just so sick of it.
p.s. D Lee is done. We need a bonafide superstar in the middle. Bat him 6th or trade him.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
D Lee is done. We need a bonafide superstar in the middle. Bat him 6th or trade him
DLee and DeRosa are the only Cubs hitting in this series.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Again...stats mean nothing to this team. Just do the litmus test...look at him and tell me does he feel like a #3?
If I was pitching to Lee..
Pitch 1: Fast ball down the pipe - Called Strike
Pitch 2: Slider away - Swinging Strike
Pitch 3: Fast ball away - Ball
Pitch 4: Slider away - Strikeout
your #3 can not be that easy to strikeout.
He is a #6 hitter, not a #3. Double plays, strikeouts, non-clutch hits.
Look at Manny and Pujols. Every at bat is quality. With Lee, about 1/3 of his at bats are quality.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
A couple of things...
First, if he is so easy to strike out, why doesn't he strike out every time?
Second, there are some that would say that your third hitter in your lineup should actually be your 4th or 5th best hitter.
Third, what are "non-clutch" hits?
Fourth, Theriot grounds into double plays at a higher rate than Lee, and ARam isn't far behind. And did you know that Pujols has more double plays over the last two years than DLee does?
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Billy, again, this team is all about emotion and not at all about stats.
This is anti-moneyball. Its the cubs. We need to start thinking outside the box (the new box).
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Who is Billy? And emotion? Seriously?
The Lee hate around here makes me laugh, but blaming Lee for some alleged lack of emotion is even funnier.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Mr. Beane.
I am not blaming Lee's emotion (Lee is a tangent, he is no 3). I am saying this team is based on emotion. If stats were at play we would not of been so pathetic in the playoffs lately. The weight and pressure (or emotion) is trumping all stats.
We need players like Manny who are borderline crazy. Who just don't care. People in their own world. People who have no thoughts for the city or the fans.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
I really like Lee and would hope to see him go but the guy is not a #3 hitter. Dropping him to 6th or 7th would be fine. But I'd rather switch horses than watch him do what he did in the 3 this year again next season.
What a collosial let down this has been. I know every one has there bullshit story but I have an 86 year old grandfather that's rooted for these fuckers for decades. Obviously his days are short and I thought several times this season how cool it would be for him to see the Cubs do it. He probably doesn't give a shit but I was hoping it for him any way.
That's life. Chump ass fuckers. (not fair, I know but I don't give a shit at the moment)
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
We need a hero
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
And then Samwise says to Frodo:
"I know, it's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the Great Stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometime you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end it is only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come and when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something. That there is some good in this world, Mr. Frodo and it's worth fighting for

Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Dear Cubs,
Please prove me wrong. It looks really bad. Where is the mental tenacity? 97 wins and then this? Every team is tired and injured at this point. Before Saturday's game, watch a tape of the 2004 Boston Red Sox who were looking done. Focus (even you Fonzie). Prove me wrong PLEASE.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
I blame Chad and MikeC for this loss... Zambrano should have been the 4th starter, not the 2nd.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
That's 7 straight playoff losses for Lou and 9 of the last 10. Since his Reds swept the A's, his playoff teams have gone 14 - 25.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Another absolutely atrocious game, with plenty of blame to spread around. As I've said before, seen this movie wayyy too many times before - when DLee suddenly turns into Leon Durham, you know it's beyond surreal.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
At this point I wish DLee had Leon Durham's bat. Lately he looks more like Alex Gonzalez at the dish.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
BTW, Lee cried after the playoff - ending loss last year - so he obviously cares a great deal, perhaps even too much, given that he's had many other more important things to worry about in his life recently. I don't blame any individual player for these losses - it's a total, team - wide effort we're seeing here.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
did Lee have a good playoffs with the Marlins?
maybe he has just been cubified
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
funny I can only remember that one hit...
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Again... Lee actually has done a good offensively this series: 429/.500/.571
So if you want to make conclusions out of meaningless sample sizes, Lee has been the Cubs second best hitter (behind DeRosa) this series.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
"I've had as much patience with him as anybody I've ever managed. We've given him a little rest. We've played him, we've moved him around in the lineup with the thought that, well, this will get him going, this will get him going, this will get him going. ... It has been a struggle for this young man. I feel for him. He's a good young man and he plays hard. He wants to do well."
Obviously, Piniella felt under no pressure to play Fukudome. It was all about DeRosa's calf, even before he injured it (slightly).
Red meat, Rob.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Yup... lets completely ignore Lou's other comments about wanting to put his best defensive team out on the field.
Nowhere in there did it say anything about feeling pressure to play him.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Someone needs to tell this club that pitches 6-8" off the plate are NOT STRIKES.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
I blame everyone who voted for the "I'd rather play the Dodgers" option in the poll. I voted for the Mets. The only way for a lost team to win is for it to play another lost team.
So I blame all of you, the Cubs, Wrigley Fans, Lou Piniella, Jim Hendry, talent scouts, Michael Barrett, Japan, Jose Macias, the fact that I was watching the game on Wednesday, the fact that I wasn't watching the game on Thursday, getting Mustard on my Zambrano jersey, not Steve Bartman, Rex Grossman, VP debates, DP Lee, dashed Angel Guzman dreams, Ryan Themildaltercation, and full-fledged motherfucking cubbery. I forget how much I hate being a Cubs fan at this team of year every fucking year. I would love a comeback, but it's the Cubs, I don't expect shit. I've been telling myself that I don't expect anything this year, but I realize now that I was lying to myself. Come on Cubs, lose with a blaze of cubbery, but give me ONE FUCKING WIN to enjoy!
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
I didn't realize that playoff teams were determined by TCR polls.
I have to agree (and I think I posted about it last week), the M.E.S.S MESS, MESS, MESS were the least scary team of the possible contestants. That's probably why they didn't make the playoffs, though.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Ok, I was really just joking in an attempt to blame everyone. To be honest, I was also hoping for the Phillies over the Dodgers, but the way all teams involved are playing, it probably wouldn't have been much different.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Cubs would have lost to the Chico's Bail Bonds Bears and Kelly Lynch the last 2 days.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10
Neither Kelly Lynch nor Kelly Leak pitched.
As stated below, Kelly Lynch is an actress and Kelly Leak played either short stop or centerfield (i forget exactly).
The pitcher's name was Amanda Whurlitzer.
Re: NLDS Game 2 Recap: Cubs 3, Dodgers 10

Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.

3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.

When a female has so much extra skin on her Goochthat it creates a shelter around your scrotum.
The girl got so wet you could find her on doppler radar, I had to keep dry in her under the butt nut hut...

Is Alex Pettyfer smoldering and sensitive?
The chiseled Magic Mike actor sure sounds like it in a new interview with Cosmopolitan U.K. that seems to show he's shed his prickly bad boy image.
"Guys are as sensitive as women, I think," he tells the magazine for its March issue, out Thursday. "Men and women are not that different – we just want to feel loved as well. I don't believe in the Mars/Venus nonsense."
Feeling romantic love often requires dating, and the British thespian, 23, makes it sound as though he's a fan of a classic courtship (despite his steamy screen test as kinky Christian Grey).
"I really like the traditional movie-and-dinner date," he tells the magazine. "There are all those excited new feelings when you're in the cinema – you're looking at each other, but trying not to ... I can think of about five dates when I couldn't even tell you what we were watching."
Pettyfer, who has been linked to Glee's Dianna Agron and Riley Keough (AKA Elvis Presley's granddaughter), also looks forward to fatherhood – ideally sooner than later.
"I've always wanted to be a young dad," he says. "I'm glad I left school at 15 and started acting. Had I stayed at school, I'd only just have finished university and started working. I wouldn't have much financial stability, so I'd probably end up having kids later, whereas I can see myself doing so at maybe 29 or 30."
Yet for the moment, he's keeping himself busy racing cars, even if his track record is a bit iffy.
"I've actually crashed four times in the past five years, including recently at 160 mph, when I broke my collarbone," he admits.
No word on whether there was a special lady who helped nurse him back to health.

CWT Assists with 4.7 Million Pounds of Cheese Export Sales
CWT Assists with 4.7 Million Pounds of Cheese Export Sales
Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) has accepted 13 requests for export assistance from Bongards Creameries, Dairy Farmers of America, Darigold and United Dairymen of Arizona to sell 4.696 million pounds (2,130 metric tons) of Cheddar, Gouda and Monterey Jack cheese to customers in Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and South America. The product will be delivered February through July 2013.
From the year-to-date, CWT has assisted member cooperatives in selling 19.312 million pounds of cheese, 9.760 million pounds of butter and 88,185 pounds of whole milk powder to 23 countries on six continents. These sales are the equivalent of 391 million pounds of milk on a milkfat basis. That is the annual production of 18,600 cows.
Assisting CWT members through the Export Assistance program positively impacts producer milk prices in the short-term by helping to maintain inventories of cheese and butter at desirable levels. In the long-term, CWT's Export Assistance program helps member cooperatives gain and maintain market share, thus expanding the demand for U.S. dairy products and the farm milk that produces them.
CWT will pay export bonuses to the bidders only when delivery of the product is verified by the submission of the required documentation.
The Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) Export Assistance program is funded by voluntary contributions from dairy cooperatives and individual dairy farmers. The money raised by their investment is being used to strengthen and stabilize the dairy farmers' milk prices and margins. For more information about CWT, visit www.cwt.coop.
