The 10 Most Racist Moments from a Song About Ending Racism
You're going to have a tough time finding video of it, but that's fine, because there was never an official video anyway and the album comes out today, so video evidence will soon start popping up again all over the place like replacement heroin dealers on The Wire.
I'm talking, of course, about "Accidental Racist," a collaboration between country star Brad Paisley and rapper LL Cool J that somehow manages to set race relations, country music, rap music, the careers of both men, and just progress in general back by about 25 years.
Christopher Polk/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
If you think I'm employing hyperbole there, you're probably right, but just barely. You can't truly appreciate how terrible this idea really is until you've heard the song, or, barring that, at least taken a look at the batshit insane lyrics.
Or, if you'd like a more detailed rundown of the various hate crimes committed in this song, keep reading. Here are the 10 most racist moments from Brad Paisley and LL Cool J's song about ending racism.
#10. Every Lynyrd Skynyrd Fan Loves the Confederate Flag
Mark Davis/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
There are about 30 seconds of this song that aren't filled with unintentionally racist nonsense, and those would be the first 30 seconds of the song, before anyone actually starts singing. Once that happens, though, the floodgates burst wide open, and the first thing that comes rushing out is this line:
To the man that waited on me at the Starbucks down on Main, I hope you understand
When I put on that T-shirt, the only thing I meant to say is I'm a Skynyrd fan
If you're not following, and you definitely are not, what he's implying is that some punk kid working at Starbucks mistook his Lynyrd Skynyrd shirt that just happened to have a Confederate flag on it as some kind of endorsement of the flag itself.
First of all, no one working at Starbucks "understands" Lynyrd Skynyrd. If they do, they're too old to be working at Starbucks. Second, wearing a Skynyrd shirt with the Confederate flag on it is totally an endorsement of the flag. The only way the "It's just a Skynyrd shirt" defense works is if there are no Lynyrd Skynyrd shirts available that don't feature a Confederate flag. That's not the case, though. The Confederate flag isn't part of the official Skynyrd logo. They do have T-shirts that don't feature that flag, and I can vouch for that fact because I own one.
This one!
In fact, when I searched Getty Images for Lynyrd Skynyrd pictures to use in this column, I was presented with 10 pages of results. After scanning through countless images of the band in all sorts of ...
Geoff Burke/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
... flag-waving glory ...
Rusty Russell/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
... the only Confederate flag I found ...
Vince Bucci/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
... was on that dipshit. That's a shot of a male model on the catwalk at a fashion show in 2006. The logical conclusion? Brad Paisley pays $400 for his Skynyrd wear and has been listening to the band for like seven years now.
Vince Bucci/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
This guy emailed him a playlist!
I'm not saying that Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Confederate flag are mutually exclusive. You will definitely see the two together from time to time. (Update: No you won't. The band very publicly denounced the Confederate flag back in September. Thanks for the tip, commenters!) To imply that you can't support one without supporting the other, though, is ridiculous.
#9. It's Unclear Why the Confederate Flag Is a Problem
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
It takes exactly one more sentence for Brad Paisley to take the "implying that the Confederate flag is merely a band logo" situation from terrible to absurd. Check out this line (with my own added emphasis):
The red flag on my chest somehow is like the elephant in the corner of the South
And I just walked him right in the room
Just a proud rebel son with an ol' can of worms
Yes, Brad Paisley, somehow the flag that represented the side of the Civil War that fought for slavery has become a touchy subject. Here's hoping science can piece together that mystery for us someday. In the meantime, how about you solve the mystery of who in the fuck calls the Confederate flag the "red flag"?
If Brad Paisley had a tenth of the courage he thinks releasing this garbage makes it seem like he has, the line there would have been "the rebel flag on my chest." That's what a real racist would call it, but Brad Paisley has to cop out and throw in the "rebel" part a few lines later.
It's worth noting here that it took exactly one line for Brad Paisley to abandon the "It's just a Skynyrd shirt" defense and start sticking up for the Confederate flag itself.
#8. Brad Paisley Sings of His Hard Racial Times
Christopher Polk/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Alright, so Brad Paisley has established that he's offended "one of those people" (baristas) by wearing a band shirt with a Confederate flag on it. What to do now? The logical answer is to maybe examine the situation more closely to try and understand why his actions would offend this person.
Nope. Instead, Brad Paisley goes on the defensive:
Lookin' like I got a lot to learn but from my point of view
I'm just a white man comin' to you from the Southland
Tryin' to understand what it's like not to be
I'm proud of where I'm from but not everything we've done
And it ain't like you and me can rewrite history
Our generation didn't start this nation
We're still pickin' up the pieces, walkin' on eggshells, fightin' over yesterday
So the problem here isn't that the Confederate flag is still widely viewed as a symbol of racism by a lot of people; it's that this Starbucks employee, what, just doesn't understand Lynyrd Skynyrd lore well enough? What the hell is the point here?
Speaking of points, it's at this one that I'd like to mention that this article was supposed to be a Quick Fix, which is the section of the site where we sometimes manage to contain our rants to 700 words or less. As of right now, we're at almost 1,000 words and are still just talking about the first verse and part of the first chorus.
I intentionally left the last line of that first chorus out when I posted it above, because it deserves an entry all to itself.
#7. Brad Paisley Is Not Ashamed
David Becker/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Let's skip the melodrama and get right to that last line of the chorus:
And caught between Southern pride and Southern blame
Come ON, Brad Paisley! Who in the hell doesn't use the word "shame" there instead? It works just as well lyrically and rhythmically and all that, but it also sends the exact same message in a far less douche-y way. Using the word "shame" would at least imply that you understand the gravity of the events that people, for very good reason, associate with the Confederate flag. And the beauty of it is that you can use the word without ever having to specify if you, personally, are the one who's ashamed. You could just mean that you think it's a shame that slavery isn't a thing anymore. People would still take it as a conciliatory gesture, though, because that's how "Southern shame" reads to a non-racist.
David Becker/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
On a side note: Is Taylor Swift a giant or is Brad Paisley half a person?
Instead, Brad Paisley went with the word "blame" because, at the end of the day, he's the real victim of slavery. An entire region of the country decided to rebel when the president said they couldn't buy and sell black people anymore, made a flag to indicate that they were indeed on a different side from the rest of us on that issue, and, because of all that, poor Brad Paisley can't wear that flag in front of "libs" without someone getting their panties in a wad.
And with all that said, Brad Paisley has every right to wear that shirt, because that's how this country works. What he's mistaken about, though, is that nobody has a reason to mind when he does.
#6. Brad Paisley Still Has a Bone to Pick About the Civil War
Rick Diamond/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
The most baffling thing about this song is how it just keeps upping the potentially-with-a-chance-of-definitely racist ante with each passing second. You would think there isn't much more ground to cover in terms of being offensive. Not within the confines of a major-label-approved song by a prominent artist, anyway, but you'd be wrong. Have a look at this history lesson:
They called it Reconstruction, fixed the buildings, dried some tears
We're still sifting through the rubble after 150 years
Unless I'm missing something here, what Brad Paisley is getting at is that, despite the war having ended over a century and a half ago, people in the South still feel like things haven't been sufficiently resolved? I put a question mark at the end of that sentence because I'm hoping someone will chime in with an emphatic "No, that's not what he means at all!" The problem is, I don't think I'd believe them or him or anyone else. The only aim of Reconstruction was to fix the South after the war. "We're still sifting through the rubble" very clearly implies that things are still broken.
If that's true ... good. Don't fight for the right to own slaves if you don't want your part of the country burned to the ground. Surely Brad Paisley isn't waiting around for someone to apologize for that, right?

I would guess that 150-165 grain bullets are the standard for big game hunting. I wouldn't get into the exotic (spendy) bullets for deer hunting. Any .308 diameter soft-point, boat-tail bullet from a major manufacturer should work just fine. Some examples are Remington Core-Loc, Hornady interlock, and Sierra Game King. Try a box of boat tail bullets at first since they start into the case easier than a flat based bullet.
I like IMR-4064 but there are a lot of choices for .30-06.
If you can find some H-4895 it is a medium-slow burning powder that is temperature insensitive and works with many calibers. It can also be safely down-loaded to lower working pressures according to Hodgdon although ballistics will suffer.
Assuming you are new to reloading, try not to freak out during the current buying panic. I suggest you buy 100 primers, 100 bullets, and 1 lb. of powder to work with.

IMR 4064 is good choice. Soft pointed 150-165 is plenty big enough for deer. Right now you might have to settle for what you can find. Many powders will work. If you pretty much fill the cases it will likely be more accurate and consistent.

I get 2750fps with a 150gr FMJ using 4895 in my Garand, if that helps any.
March 5, 2013, 08:35 PM
im deciding between the nosler ballistic tip the Hornady sst or btsp and maybe the Sierra pro hunter and thinking on H4350
March 5, 2013, 08:38 PM
A lot of folks like 165 grain bullets. My gun wouldn't shoot them well. I ended up using a 150 grain Barnes Triple Shock bullet. Shoots sub-MOA groups and does the job on deer.
I'm using H-4350 powder. I haven't tried IMR 4064 but have read many good things about it. IMR-4895 and H-4895 are also good options. In these times, it will probably just depend on what you can get your hands on.
March 5, 2013, 08:40 PM
Pick the bullet you want to shoot first. Assuming you've studied your loading manual, (if you haven't, STOP now and study your manual!), you already know there are many bullet choices. Which is best is largely a matter of opinion. Basically, you should pick a good bonded core expanding bullet. Core-lokt, Hot-core, Game king and a grundle of others are all good game killers. 150 gr is plenty for deer, 165 is great, too. Your gun can tell you which it prefers with factory loads. If you have a factory cartridge you like, you might start with that bullet.
Once you've picked a pill it is time to choose a powder. Again, a lot on the shelf (or should be, some day). A lot of people seem to prefer a 4895 or 4350 powder. Reloder 22 or 19 gets votes too. You will get lots of opinions here.
Choose the velocity that best suits your fancy, drop 10% from the max charge and work up to a sweet spot. Fine tuning comes once you found a good combination.
I think the trial and error part of the hobby is part of the fun.
My Howa 1500 likes 150 gr Core-lokt over H4895, or 165 gr /sierra Game King over the same powder. I have some trial cartridges loaded with IMR4350 that I haven't tried yet.
Your mileage will vary.
March 5, 2013, 08:44 PM
4350 is a little on the slow side for 150/165 grain bullets in the 30-06.
You tell us the bullet weight you are talking about, and somebody will surely tell you the best powder burn rate to use with it.
But in general, you can't go wrong with the extra 100 - 200 FPS a slightly faster powder like 4064, BL-C(2), 4320, H-380, or 4895 will give you with 150 - 165 grain bullets over 4350.
A full charge of 4350 with either bullet weight will be a compressed charge, because you can't get enough of it in the case to give the same velocity a slightly faster powder like any of those mentioned will give you.
But my best advice is to figure that out yourself by looking at your reloading manual when you get one!!!
March 5, 2013, 08:52 PM
Your choices for propellents and projectiles are almost endless for the 06.The stick powders 4064,4895 and 4350 are all excellent choice but they don't meter as well in a powder measure.I started out with IMR 4895 and in the beginning weighed every charge. Later when I could afford it I bought a powder measure.Any of the common soft points of 150 grains are good for deer sized game.I like Speer boat tails because they have worked for me over the years.
March 5, 2013, 09:09 PM
something that fills the case and gets you your ideal velocity will probably work best. For me that's h4350 at a relatively "slow" 2800fps with a hornady 150gr btsp.
March 5, 2013, 09:15 PM

4350 is on the slow side with a 165?!? If 2900fps (57gr per Hornady) is too slow I don't know if I would want to shoot the fast ones :D Think that is "slow" my best accuracy comes with 61.5gr of the even slower burning RL19 and the even lighter 150gr, hella fast moving too, but the muzzle blast is fierce in a 22" tube.
BTW fastest moving published load I know of for a 165gr is using the remarkably slow burning RL22 (63gr compressed load 3002fps in a 24" barrel), tried that one too and the blast darn near burnt my eyebrows off LOL No presser signs though.
March 5, 2013, 10:16 PM
really thinking on the nosler accubond
March 5, 2013, 10:46 PM
I just worked up a load with 165 gr Hornady BTSP and 57 grains of Accurate 4350. Got me down to under 1 MOA and I'm very happy!
March 5, 2013, 10:53 PM
nosler or hornady amax.s and ramshoit hunter or win 760 have never failed me with my rem 700. It really likes rl-22 however and that seems to be working great so far. any ballistic tip or bonded soft point will be pleny for deer in the 165 grain range, 180 for any larger game. my rifle hates 150 grainers
March 5, 2013, 11:43 PM
I've had great results with the 180SGK over H4831SC. Awesome load in my rifle.
I plan to try the 130-150 TTSX Barnes in it next.
March 5, 2013, 11:43 PM
Deer are soft skinned animals which are not very hard to kill. IMO premium bullets like the AccuBond, Partition, InterLock and the like unnecessary but of course can be used. I'm a fan of the Sierra GameKing and I like the 165gr GameKing, that's the bullet I use for Deer hunting.
There are many powders suitable for loading the 30-06 including H4895, IMR4895, IMR4064 and others in the same burn rate but I like the slightly slower H4350. I get good velocity and accuracy with H4350 and the SD numbers are in single digits. What's not to like?
March 5, 2013, 11:45 PM
The accubonds are great bullets. But you don't really need a premium bullet for deer. Cup and Core bullets like the Hornady Interlocks, or Remington Core Lokt work very well. Flat base or boat tail - your choice. I prefer flat base for less than 300 yards.
March 5, 2013, 11:48 PM

+1 Bonded bullets will indeed work, but simply don't work any better then a quality cup and core on deer and cost twice as much. I like 165gr SGKs too just don't push them to max if you hunt up close they are NASTY.
March 6, 2013, 12:06 AM
Good ol' Hornady 150 gr. Spire Point will do the trick in the '06, even works good in a Savage .300 .
March 6, 2013, 06:46 AM
I second several other's recommendation of H4350. I could never get 4895 to group very well. I use 150 grain Nosler BT's. I have 168's too, but settled on the 150's.
March 6, 2013, 06:24 PM
i would really like to try ballistic tips but how do they work on deer ive heard abit explosive
March 6, 2013, 07:07 PM
I agree that bullets around 150 to 165 are just right for deer. I have used many Hornady spire points with good success.
It may be hard to find powder. Here is a Powder Burn Rate Chart (http://www.hodgdon.com/burn-rate.html). Look around for a powder in the speed range close to IMR 4064 and see what you can find. A lot of powders can be used for this cartridge if you can find data. Look on the powder manufacturers web site for data. Lot of resources on the web these days.
March 6, 2013, 07:16 PM
Here is one link to load data. Click Here (http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp)
Note: this is no substitute for a loading manual. Be sure to get one and read up on the "How To" stuff.
Perhaps your kit has a manual with it?
March 6, 2013, 07:24 PM
Cabelas has CFE 223 in stock if you cant find anything else. It is listed for the 06 on the second link that James2 listed.
March 7, 2013, 12:25 AM
IMR 4350 is another good one, along with the Hornady 150 gr. Spire Point, #3031 SP. Bad JuJu on deer. At 2900 fps with this load, no problem getting your freezer full.
DC Plumber
March 7, 2013, 07:41 AM
I posted in your other thread also.
I use H4895 and H4350 in my 3006. I've settled on 165g Ballistic tips. Don't need exotic bullets for Wisconsin whitetails under 100 yards, nor do I need blazing speed. People have been using 30-30s for decades up here. Shot placement is everything.
March 7, 2013, 12:34 PM
I've shot a lot of deer and the 30-06 is my favorite. I would buy the Speer 150 grain boattail or Sierra 150 grain gameking boattail. You don't need to fall for the sales pitch on the so called premium bullets for target practice or deer hunting. As to powder with a 150 grain bullet, you can never go wrong in working up to 57 grains of IMR 4350, 51 grains of IMR 4064 with a magnum primer, or 49 grains of IMR 4895. Velocities are about the same with each of these loads and point of impact is about the same at 200 yards. Each of these powders and loads listed have almost the same point of impact at 200 yards. The IMR 4350 feels to have the strongest recoil but shows the least pressure. The IMR 4895 could give slightly better accuracy in one rifle but the other powders could do better in other rifles.
March 7, 2013, 03:23 PM
I have been using IMR4064 - 49 - 50 gr under 165gr Sierra Game Kings or 168gr HPBT. I am still working up this load, but it has been good so far.
March 7, 2013, 10:20 PM
Have a look at Ramshot Big Game. You should get factory velocities without running into compress charges.

LORETTO - The Neshannock softball team's lineup is a nightmare to defend, and it has most likely kept opposing coaches awake at night.
The Lady Lancers' lineup is filled with speedy left-handed hitters who can drag bunt and slap-hit and beat out the throw to first base. It's like watching a college team at the high school level.
Central worked in practice on defending such a team, but Neshannock worked the short game to near perfection in Monday's PIAA Class AA semifinal game to win, 15-5, in five innings at St. Francis University's Red Flash Field.
Article Photos
Mirror photos by Gary M. Baranec
Neshannock's Katy Burrelli scores the final run of Monday's game in front of Central catcher Taylor Garman.
The Lancers beat out six bunt hits in very close plays at first base even with Central using a drawn-in infield, and they pressured the Lady Dragons into making errant throws that led to six errors and seven unearned runs.
Neshannock blew open a three-run game in the fifth inning by scoring seven runs to end the game in five innings and advance to its first state title game.
"They executed everything they did," Central center fielder Kate Blattenberger said. "Their slap hitters are way better than I ever imagined them to be. Way better. They are great at what they do, and they got on base just like they had to."
"The truth is they were better at their craft than I anticipated," Central coach Dale Walters said. "They were very good at what they did. The trouble is in high school base you may run into one or two [hitters] like that a year, not five on the same team. I was impressed."
The 23-1 Lady Lancers, who had 15 hits, will play Warrior Run, a 15-1 winner over 2010 state champion Nanticoke, at 3 p.m. Friday at Penn State's Beard Field at Nittany Lion Softball Park.
The Lady Dragons, who finished their best season ever with a 19-6 record, walked glumly to a point beyond the outfield and gathered in a circle. Blattenberger, a senior co-captain with Paige Mock, wiped away her own tears, and afterward told sophomore left fielder Janine Snyder not to cry.
"This is the worst feeling. It's really bad," said Blattenberger her voice cracked. "I wish we would have played better. They were obviously the better team."
"It's pretty disappointing," pitcher Kylie Gunnett said. "I really wanted to play for the championship. I know the whole team did, especially our seniors."
The tone was set in the first inning. After the Lady Dragons scored two runs in the top of inning on an Ashley Smith ground ball and a Taylor McKnight sacrifice fly, the Lancers scored six runs in the bottom of the inning.
Rayanna Furst, a track star in a leadoff hitter's body who along with her sister, Amanda, and Madison Altmyer went 3-for-4, reached on a bunt single. The next hitter, Madison Shaffer, also beat out a bunt hit.
Marissa DeMatteo's grounder wasn't handled, and a run scored. Amanda Furst laced a single to left to plate two more runs. Katy Burrelli added a two-run triple, and she scored on a Jamie Graziani sacrifice fly.
"We got a lot of bunts down," Neshannock coach Tracy Kimmel said, "and it created a lot of situations on the bases. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense."
Central came back to within two runs, 7-5, when it scored three runs in the third inning. A Blattenberger RBI single and a Mock two-run double to right-center got the Lady Dragons within striking range.
But the threat ended on a heads-up infield play by the Lancers, who got Kassidy Snyder out at first and caught Mock rounding the bag at third too far to complete a double play. Central stranded runners at second and third in the fourth.
"We have a five, six or seven-run inning in us at any time," Walters said. "It just didn't happen today. We were a little tentative at times, and I guess it's youth, and the pressure gets to them."
Leading 8-5 in the fifth, Neshannock's short game produced seven runs, five hits and three errors, and the Lady Dragons never got an out.

There's a priceless resource in the hills of West Virginia. It's more valuable than gold, more durable than the coal seams that run through the ridges of our great state. And it's in higher demand than the liquid gas that will propel the Mountain State to once again be at the forefront of energy production.
Our bountiful treasure is our tradition, our rich heritage. It's so tangible one can feel it, as it permeates every square inch of land that composes our beloved West Virginia. It is on this history that Mountaineers stand proud and draw strength as we forge ahead to create a new destiny for the Mountain State.
Today, West Virginia's sesquicentennial, it is fitting that we take a reflective look back and acknowledge how far we've come. It also is fitting that we ponder our future, as we navigate foreign waters as uncharted as those our pioneer ancestors faced.
This modern-day struggle is defining how we balance benefiting from our wealth of natural resources without irreparably damaging these precious gifts with which we've been entrusted. Further, our state's leaders must work to define our course - where and how West Virginia fits in as part of a nation that is facing economic woes and threats both foreign and domestic.
These are uncertain times, and we find ourselves once again on the cusp.
When we look at these points, it seems for as much that has changed in the last 150 years, some core struggles remain the same. But then so too have our people. Mountaineers remain filled with tremendous pride in West Virginia. It's a pride one can learn through birth or that one can acquire through exposure to and appreciation of our Mountain State.
Whether the history books - or financial accounts - reflect this or not is irrelevant. We know our state's greatest resource always has been its people. And their wealth is measured by the Mountaineer spirit that emanates from the very depths of their soul.
Some don't understand the deep-rooted passion West Virginians have, which results in the state and its residents being lampooned. Often the butt of cruel jokes, we are openly mocked. It's sad but true.
However, like so many precious resources, value is in the eye of the beholder. Someone along the way had to see the beauty of a diamond and assign it great worth.
Our state's founding fathers had such vision when they worked to make West Virginia the 35th state in the Union.
Today, like our forefathers before us, let us stand tall, proud and free. Let us celebrate our accomplishments and ready ourselves to battle forward as we continue this journey of statehood. Our future is not yet written, and every Mountaineer is an author of West Virginia's next chapter.

*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Nice shoes
"I bought these shoes for my evening walks and my upcoming events where I'll be spending the day on my feet. I was somewhat disappointed in the inner padding but that was more my fault than the shoe. I should have ordered a shoe in wide width to accomodate my wider than average feet. I appreciated the fast shipping and customer service of DSW."

"The Dual Fusion Lite are extremely comfy (especially since I buy the next size up and add a thin gel work insole). I wear running shoes for factory work in a clean room because of spending many hours walking several miles and standing on metal grate floors in a shift. So this model has become my favorite from their others. I have 3 pairs, the bright red gets lots of compliments, the bright blue is cool & the silver (got this one in wide width to wear towards the end if my work week) is great."

It's a story line that's been repeated ad nauseam for the Buffalo Bills this season.
Another loss, and another chance to question coach Chan Gailey's use of running back C.J. Spiller.
The league's leader in yards per carry touched the ball just eight times in Buffalo's 15-12 loss to the St. Louis Rams on Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium. That's the fewest touches Spiller's had since logging only seven two months ago in a Week Five loss at San Francisco.
"I really can't control how many times I touch the ball, guys," Spiller told reporters in the locker room following the game. "I keep saying it over and over, but I don't know what else y'all want me to say. The only thing I can do, when my number's called, is do the best I can. Even when it's not, just try to do the best I can."
Spiller rushed seven times for 37 yards and caught the only pass thrown to him for a gain of 15 yards. His use – or lack thereof – has become a constant line of questioning to Gailey. The coach's response when asked why Spiller touched the ball so few times Sunday was bewildering.
"It was not happening there after that first drive of the second half. We were trying to run the football and when it was Fred's [Jackson] turn, it was Fred's turn to be in there. Trying to keep them both fresh," the coach said.
Jackson was hurt with 5:26 left in the game. Spiller touched the ball just once over the final 22 minutes.
"Of course I want to touch the ball more, but there's no need for me to sit around and mope and groan and do all that stuff. That's high school. That's childish. That's not what I'm all about," Spiller said. "Is the frustration there? Yeah, deep down inside your gut as a competitor, yeah it's there, but there's nothing I can do about it, so I'm not going to sit around and pout."
Spiller gained 15 yards on a screen pass in the first quarter, then came out of the game for the next five plays.
"Well he gets ... he had two good runs in that first drive, he gets winded and he comes out. We just put Fred in there," Gailey said. "It worked out that the next couple of carries we got behind the sticks on runs that we called he was in there. That's just the way it works out. We're trying to get those guys the football."
When it comes to Spiller, however, it's not happening enough. Through the first 13 games of the season, Spiller has averaged 6.55 yards per carry. That's the second highest in the NFL since 1960 for a running back with at least 130 attempts, trailing only Cleveland Browns Hall of Famer Jim Brown's average of 6.61 in 1963. In Sunday's Buffalo News, eight Hall of Fame running backs marveled at Spiller's dynamic ability.
"Yeah, I agree with you," left guard Andy Levitre said when asked whether Spiller needs to touch the ball more. "He's a big piece of what we do. Obviously he's getting the yardage he does. We'd like to use him more, but at the same time, people are going to key off that if we use him too much. We have to mix some things around, but I'd love to see that guy get the ball a lot.
"I'm not going to take away anything from the game plan. Obviously there are situations where we can't give him the ball, but that guy's dangerous every time he touches the ball."
Gailey did not have an update on Jackson's injury, but did say it "didn't look good." It's the third time this season he's left a game because of injury.
"My heart's broken. Besides from just football, he's like my brother," Spiller said of Jackson. "The guy has done everything he possibly could to get back and have a successful season and injuries just keep piling on.
"It's football and stuff like that happens, but you definitely feel sad for him. I'm hurt for him, because I know for us to get where we want, he's a big part of that."

Is that a one time payment of 157,000 or a yearly payment?
Any information on her as a skater? I haven't been successful in finding anything even though she is said to be a world class skater. What name did she skate under and what country did she represent?

Poor baby.Now at 66 years of age, with a longtime economic dependency, the breakup of their relationship has caused Mr. Walker to be economically disadvantaged in terms of what he had been accustomed, said Wong.
I never bought the argument that someone is entitled to be rich all his life just because he "became accustomed" to being rich.
He lived a comfortable life style because he was the escort of a rich lady. Now he is not the escort of a rich lady. Life's little ups and downs.
So there really are vampires in real life.
On a more positive note: going by the picture, she's still a beauty at 86!
Do you suppose she could be Valerie Moon? The article says she was married three times and her last husband's name was Brown. Fortune need not be her maiden name.
The lady in the article was born in England and would have been about twenty years old in 1947. Valerie Moon, I believe, came in second to Cecilia Colledge in the 1947 and 1948 British Professional skating championships. Here she is showing her dogs a few years later..

Mathman, Valerie Moon married a Barnes and after that went under the name Valerie Moon-Barnes.
I emailed the paper and asked if they could provide information about Valerie Fortune Brown's skating career. If I get a response, I will, of course, share with you.

The Respondent Valerie Fortune Brown was one of two children in a family raised in England. Her English parents provided a comfortable standard of living. She was educated in a girls private school. She later became a world class figure skating champion, performed professionally in ice follies and was also employed as a model for art sculptures.
[12] She was first married to a Mr. Mant, an electrical engineer in Montreal, had 5 children with him and later divorced him, taking the two youngest children with her but leaving the three older ones with Mr. Mant. They remained on amiable terms until Mr. Mants death shortly after his 90th birthday.
[13] Her second husband was James Brown, a successful chartered accountant and businessman in Vancouver. It was a second marriage for both of them. They had no children from this union. Mr. Brown retired in 1975 and the Browns moved to Sechelt, living on a substantial piece of waterside property with a large house. During their retirement, they travelled frequently. The Browns were married for 24 years when Mr. Brown died in 1994. The Respondent was left with her husbands estate which consisted of an investment portfolio of assorted stocks and bonds held in a private holding company called Yakoun Investments (Yakoun). Yakouns holdings together with a shareholder loan were worth over $5,000,000. Ms. Brown also inherited a retirement income fund, then worth 1.3 million dollars. Her home on Yacht Road, named Val Paradiseo by the Browns, had an appraised value of 1.6 million dollars.
[14] After her husbands death, the Respondent lived alone in her large house.

The long-standing practice of allowing drivers caught speeding in the region's towns and villages to plead down their tickets to parking violations could be dramatically curtailed under Gov. Andrew Cuomo's budget.
That worries leaders from Amherst to Elma who rely on the revenue. Hundreds of thousands, even millions, of dollars are collected in area town courts through this reduced charge system.
"I hope our state legislators realize that this is just a money grab by the state," Amherst Town Supervisor Barry A. Weinstein said.
For years, towns and villages across the state have relied on revenue collected through this practice.
Speeding drivers are ticketed and then show up to the town or village court. As long as the driver doesn't have a record of dangerous traffic violations and the speeding wasn't excessive, more often than not, the driver is allowed to plead to a lesser, nonmoving violation, most often a ticket for "parking on a highway" or something similar. They often are ordered to go to traffic school as well.
It's an arrangement that makes both motorists and towns happy.
Drivers aren't stuck with points on their licenses that can cost hundreds of extra dollars in insurance.
The towns and villages get to keep the revenue from those tickets – income that can be significant for many towns.
If the tickets remain speeding tickets, all of that money goes straight to the state. And that's what the governor wants in his new budget.
In unveiling his proposal to do away with the practice, the governor last week said that the state loses out on $58 million because of the reduced charges.
He also argued that it's dangerous, because these nonmoving "parking" violations don't show up on the records of repeat offenders.
In 2011, for instance, there were 393,000 convictions for such "parking" violations. According to the governor's office, 374,000 of those were pleaded down from something else.
Seventy-seven thousand were pleaded down from speeding tickets – and about 20,000 of those were for driving more than 20 mph over the speed limit.
To restrict the practice, Cuomo proposes an array of new rules:
First, he wants anyone who is caught going more than 20 mph over the speed limit to face a mandatory point-bearing violation.
He also wants to add an $80 surcharge to the types of parking violations that drivers are allowed to plead down to from a speeding ticket.
The governor also is calling for a mandatory minimum fine of $50 for a first offense of using a cellphone or texting while driving.
The proposal to restrict plea bargaining won't end the practice, and town prosecutors will continue to have the discretion to plead down cases, according to Morris Peters, a spokesman for the governor's budget division.
"Locals will still be able to offer a plea. They will still be able to collect the fine. The fine is not changed," Peters said.
Governor's officials pointed out that while the $80 surcharge on the "parking" violations will go to the state, the new $50 fine will go straight to the town where the violation occurred.
The state also isn't expected to recoup all of the $58 million it is losing out on through the plea bargains, governor's officials said. The state is expecting to bring in about $16 million in the next fiscal year and $25 million in the year after that from the new rules and surcharge.
"The point of this is public safety," said Peters, who emphasized that the proposal would make sure judges know about drivers who are caught going excessively fast, time and time again.
"It's important that judges who are making these plea decisions know what the records are," Peters said. "If there are pattern speeders on the road, it's important they have a deterrence, especially if they're racking up multiple speeding violations. That's why we're doing this."
Local officials expressed concerns about the impact the bill could have on their town and village coffers.
"It's a financial issue," Weinstein said.
Amherst collected $1.6 million in 2011 from its town court system, and the vast majority of that money came from the reduced speeding violations, Weinstein said.
"We want to keep the court revenues in the town as much as possible," he said.
Elma would have a hard time keeping up its ability to stay within the 2 percent local tax cap imposed by the state if the plea bargaining stops, Town Supervisor Dennis M. Powers said.
"I'm vehemently opposed to it," he said.
More than 11.5 percent of the town's general fund comes from its town court, which handled 1,656 speeding tickets in 2011. That brought in more than $280,000 to Elma.
The practice is common in Elma, but not abused, Elma Town Judge Joseph Sakowski said.
"I think the town judge or village judge or city judge has the discretion not to accept" the plea bargain, he said.
He said the town keeps a record of everyone arrested in Elma for speeding, even if the conviction is for a reduced violation.
"So if someone has done it before in the Town of Elma," Sakowski said, "I know about it."
He conceded that if the driver got a break from another judge, he likely would not know.
Albany officials are still studying the bill, but there's widespread skepticism about the real motive behind it.
Peter Baynes, executive director of the New York State Conference of Mayors, said his organization is still studying the bill but is concerned "it's really just a revenue raiser for the state cloaked in traffic safety clothes."
Gerry Geist, executive director of the Association of Towns, said it's not clear how much the new rules really restrict plea bargaining.
He wondered, for instance, whether there are point-bearing violations where the fines go to the town.
If plea bargaining of tickets is restricted, it also could create a backlog in town courts, because more motorists might decide to take their speeding cases to trial rather than simply pay a fine.
"It will impose, in my view, an additional burden on the town," said Carl Morgan, Hamburg's town prosecutor.
"More people opting for trial ... is going to increase the cost for the local courts," he said, pointing out that it's not uncommon to have 150 people lined up for traffic court on a Monday.
"That's a problem they don't, maybe, appreciate," he said.

Breakfast with the mayor was not just a meet and greet last week but a venue for breaking news in the world of education.
Mount Pleasant Mayor Billy Swails, whose term ends in November, announced that he and other town officials are courting Francis Marion University in the hopes that the school will create a Mount Pleasant campus.
Francis Marion University is one of South Carolina's 13 public, coeducational universities. As one of the state's six comprehensive institutions, FMU provides a strong liberal arts education.
During the breakfast meeting, Swails told the crowd that he has had detailed conversations with FMU officials and is talking to legislators and community leaders about the possibility.
"Some are on board and some are not," he said.
"It is no secret we have always wanted a four-year college in Mount Pleasant," he added.
Efforts to reach public officials were unsuccessful.
The university offers a broad range of undergraduate degrees and a select number of graduate programs in serving the needs of communities, businesses and industries of the Pee Dee region.
Francis Marion is the only state university located in the Pee Dee region, and many of its students are the first in their families to go to college.
All faculty members have advanced degrees, and 81 percent of the full-time faculty hold doctoral or terminal degrees.
While 95 percent of its students come from South Carolina, the university enrolls students from 36 states and 16 foreign countries, allowing students to experience the diversity of people from other cultures.
The student-faculty ratio is 15 to 1, and the average class size is 21.
The average age of undergraduates is 21, while the average age of graduate students is 36.
The university offers to the community programs and services in continuing education, technical and professional assistance, industrial and economic development and artistic and cultural enrichment.
Many cultural activities (concerts, lectures, plays, art exhibits, planetarium and observatory shows and film series) are offered free to the public.
The university has an NCAA athletic program with six sports each for men and women.
The University's school colors are red, white and blue, and the mascot is a patriot.

TCR Friday Notes
- Colin Wyers, whom writes at GROTA and Statiscially Speaking, begins a series at the Hardball Times looking at the überstat systems like Win Shares, WARP and WAR.
- The Hardball Times also looks at hitters with an affinity at swinging at first pitch fastballs - Gathright (in a bad way) and Soto (in a good way) are mentioned.
- Fantastic piece by Stats Inc. on newly acquird Aaron Heilman and his repertoire. There's some words of warning in there, but it's pretty clear he has filthy stuff.
More after the jump...
- It appears our curmudgeony manager has an aversion to pitchers. Hat tip to MLBTR for the links..
When ex-hitters become managers, some, like Lou Piniella of Seattle,
never develop an understanding for pitchers. Piniella has been able to
channel the manic competitiveness of his playing days into the dugout,
barking at umpires, screaming at his coaches, demanding accountability
for mistakes and sometimes just plain bullying his players. Hitters
like Ken Griffey Jr. and Edgar Martinez have responded to his
intensity. Pitchers have not. Piniella ''is the manager who hates
pitchers,'' says Jeff Nelson, a Yankees reliever who used to pitch for
Seattle. ''It's not hard to understand why that is.''
was a great hitter for 18 seasons; his professional responsibility was
to loathe pitchers. How could he just shut that off?
''He just
doesn't have patience,'' Nelson says. ''He doesn't understand pitchers.
He tells you, 'Throw the ball over the plate.' You feel like saying:
'Is that what I'm supposed to do? I didn't know that. I thought I was
supposed to come out here and walk everyone.' ''
To quote Jim Kaat from Sunday night's BBWAA dinner, about his old
Yankees teammate Lou Piniella: "I've always been amazed that a guy
could be such a successful manager even though he hates pitchers."
- A look at the potential mechanical flaws with Rich Hill. I have some issues with the article since it appears to be relying on stock photos from different time periods with no true reference point. For all we know, those could be at different points in his motion and nothing has changed. For the right way to do a pitching mechanics comparision, check out a Carlos Gomez or Chris O'Leary post (NSFMPH - Not Suited for Mark Prior Haters).
Also, the article points to a re-teaming with O's pitching coach Rick Kranitz, although Hill has often given more of the credit to Alan Dunn. Of course, Dunn is the bullpen coach for the Orioles, so same difference.
- Wild-ass speculation on my part, but let me weigh in on this Blanco vs. Bako debate that seems to be raging. When the first reports of Bako signing came out I recall a throwaway line about the Cubs wanting someone who would be comfortable with not playing much. Then last week there was another throwaway line from a radio report that the Cubs weren't too pleased with Blanco last year. This leads me to the conclusion that Blanco did a bit of behind the scenes sulking about not getting into more games and probably why they chose to go another route. And Bako is one of God's People, i.e. hits from the left side.

Re: TCR Friday Notes
Jan. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Everybody's talking about Rob G. About the blog he wrote, coming out just two weeks before spring training begins. About how he has it in for Ruz, maybe the most talented player in the blogosphere and certainly the most narcissistic. About whether he believes Evan Brunell, the president of the MVN, betrayed him in his final negotiations with the sports blogging network. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
There were a lot of Torre defenders around here last year when he rejected the Yankees offer because he was 'disrespected'. I think it's clear now, who the punk was.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Jeff Samardzija says he hopes to "avoid the whole Triple-A stint" as he competes for the fifth starter's role with the Cubs this spring...Samardzija said Friday during a conference call to announce the formation of a Notre Dame scholarship in the name of his late mother.
"I got word that I was going to get a shot [to start] in spring training. That's all I need to know. There's an open spot, and during spring training I'll fight tooth and nail to earn it.
On ND grad Heilman:"I know Aaron pretty well," Samardzija said. "He came back to Notre Dame once when I was a sophomore. I'm sure he's going to be competing as hard as I am."
The scholarship Samardzija is endowing will be awarded annually to a Notre Dame student who has endured the death of a parent while continuing to strive for academic achievement.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
And Bako is one of God's People, i.e. hits from the left side.
Quite the contrary: I believe that makes him "sinister."
Re: TCR Friday Notes
very well played, sir.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
The 2001 Mariners were a little rightly leaning in the lineup (2 LH and one SW), but the top two bench guys were switch hitters and their backup catcher batted lefty.
Scott Posednik and Brian Fuentes were also on that team - but I guess not good enough for Lou.
The '90 Reds team that actually won it featured... one switch hitter and one lefthanded batter in the lineup, or I guess two left handed bats since Morris had taken the job from Benzinger by that point. Lou did work in the Left handed hitting Jeff Reed during the playoffs, so he could go 0-7, so Bako has that to look forward to. Reed's 0-7 probably explains how they beat the Pirates.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Not to be a pain, but I'm sometimes called on to defend handedness here.
Who was the switch hitter in '90? O'Neill, Griffey and Morris were strictly lefty. Morris played 80 games, hit .340 and was 3rd in ROY, so that's a pretty good lefty threesome. Whether the Cubs can field three lefty hitters on a regular basis depends on Fukudome.
[Never mind, wrong Griffey!]
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Rotoworld: According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Mariners have joined the hunt for Cubs left-hander Rich Hill. The Orioles still have "the inside track," according to the report, but the M's could entice the Cubs with Jarrod Washburn, Miguel Batista or Carlos Silva. Dumping either one of those highly paid pitchers would also help Seattle clear payroll in its quest for free agent outfielder Bobby Abreu. Of course, this is all just speculation.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Based on that I would say the "Post-Intelligencer" is aptly named.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
What, no Richie sexson or Chris Bosio?
Re: TCR Friday Notes
God no..NO SILVA (3/36), BATISTA (1/9) or WASHBURN (1/10.35)...if we were goign to spend that kind of money might as well (3/48) for CY young winning Peavy...
Just don't understand why we wouldn't just let him show up to Spring training and try pitching if he sucks we can still get a PTBNL from the orioles...
I just don't get if Peavy wants out why doesn't he just for go his fourth year in the deal and demand out...San Diego would have no choice but to take a deal! This whole peavy and roberts thing in back to back years is so Fukin annoying!

Bj Penn or GSP ,What's the TCR consensus?

Re: TCR Friday Notes
Bradley and Abreu are on opposite sides of the spectrum on swing at first-pitch fastballs which are strikes.
Bradley swings at it 93% and Abreu gives the pitcher a free strike 87% of the time.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
We way over paid for Bradley...we should have just waited for everyone to sign and pick up Dunn or Abreu for 1/5-7 mil and used the rest saved for the Peavy deal!
Dempster was really smart to not wait out the market he made bank from the Cubs! We are going to regret that contract in say.....1 year when he becomes pumpkin again!

Re: TCR Friday Notes
This said from the same person who looks down his nose at Braden Looper
as a fifth starter for the Cubs.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
it's true.
We just traded braden looper to Colorado.
And we still have to pay 10% of his salary for that privledge. Why would we bring him back?
I'd rather Marshall ,gaudin,heilman,adkins,and Rich Hill fight out the #5 job.
Looper excites me about as much as getting a physical by a Dr. With cold hands.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
"We way over paid for Bradley...we should have just waited for everyone to sign and pick up Dunn or Abreu for 1/5-7 mil..."
can i buy some weed from you?
Happy with 15 starts? No way.
this is a week old (1/24) but Peter Gammons blog had this on Marmol and Harden...
This week, the Cubs learned Carlos Marmol was pitching in the Dominican Republic, working feverishly to ready himself to pitch for his country in the World Baseball Classic.
Wonderful. Here's a 26-year-old with dazzling talent, a kid who fanned a third of the batters he faced last year, and with Kerry Wood gone to Cleveland and Ryan Dempster an All-Star in the Cubs' rotation is supposed to be the closer for a Cubs team whose expectations are to go farther than the first round of the 2009 playoffs. Marmol is heating up in January while pitching in the Dominican League playoffs, then he's going to go to spring training and slow it down, then turn it up again in the WBC, return to spring training and slow it down, then head north and be expected to be a shutdown closer beginning on Opening Day.
Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. And there is a full season ahead.
• Rich Harden had two choices at the end of last season because of the shoulder issues he's fought through: Either have surgery or try to rehab. Harden chose the rehab. He has worked really hard all winter, and if the Cubs can get 15-20 starts from him in 2009, they will be happy. And with new ownership in place, we know the possibility of trading for Jake Peavy will be re-addressed.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
and this from a Buster Olney blog (1/31)...
Boras could not have been thrilled with Albert Pujols' reporting skills this week: In the same week Boras said the Manny market was heating up, Pujols said that Manny told him no teams are bidding on him.

Re: TCR Friday Notes
from "the schmuck stops here"...
I think the likelihood of Braden Looper signing here is maybe 40 percent, but that's probably more likely than Rich Hill coming over and solving his command problems.
and ESPN's Jerry Crasnick has a blog mention that the Phils are talking with Will Ohman (represented by super sports agent E-man). Pretty scarry having a lefty bullpen of Stevie E. and Oh-no-man (especially in the Philly launching pad).
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Ohman is great as loogies go. He doesn't do so well against righties, but he has always dominated left-handed batters. He has a high k-rate, holds them to a low average, and suppresses slugging percentage. Even the OBP is just .285 against, which is pretty decent for guy who has some control issues.
Scott Eyre is clearly the weaker of the two pitchers, and he hasn't even had the same success against lefties. Having both of them seems pretty redundant at this point. But if it's me, I want Ohman over Eyre.

Federer or Nadal in tomorrow's Australian Open final?
I go Nadal myself.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Nadal is an amazing machine, but I think most people give Federer the edge. Personally, I think Federer is a douchebag, but that's just me.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
how is Federer a d-bag? He's as classy an athlete as there is. He's tennis' version of 1990's Maddux. Doesn't have a huge fastball but can put the ball on a dime. Look at how he carved up Roddick. Nadal is eurotrash. Greasy hair, florescent threads, and man capri pants. Plus Federer is a much better hardcourt player historically. I like his chances considering the extra day of rest and Nadal's marathon.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Nadal is all of what 23 or 24 doubt his semi match has that much of a toll on him. Though I think Federer will win, just because he needs it more going for the grand slam record and after losing Wimbledon last year to Nadal, if Nadal beats on the hard court it will make him the clear head and shoulder world number 1. So I will go Federer in 5 in a match that will 75% as good as the Wimbledon final.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Yeah, Fed's definitely not a douchebag. I prefer him to Nadal actually, although I like Nadal too. Djokovic and Murray are the douchebags.

I thought all tennis players were douchebags

2009 Australian Open: Nadal Beats Federer In Final
MELBOURNE, Australia — Rafael Nadal held off Roger Federer in another five-set Grand Slam final, keeping Pete Sampras' record of 14 major titles intact for now.
Nadal became the first Spanish man to win the Australian Open, beating Federer 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-2 in a momentum-swinging, 4-hour, 22-minute final that finished just after midnight on Sunday.
Federer, trying to equal Sampras' record, sobbed at the trophy presentation.
"Maybe I'll try later. God, it's killing me," Federer said, crying. He returned to congratulate Nadal within minutes, saying: "You deserved it. You played a fantastic final."

Wuertz rumors?
I heard on espn local that "Both Oakland and the Rangers are talking to the Cubs about Michael Wuertz." anyone hear of this? Can't find anything in the usual places.
Re: Wuertz rumors?
Maybe we can pull the old bait and switch with Vizcaino instead?
Re: Wuertz rumors?
I heard that same thing also. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Re: Wuertz rumors?
I have nothing against Wuertz. In fact, I kind of like him, but it makes sense for the Cubs to deal at least one of their optionless relievers before the end of spring training--and it makes sense for it to be a guy who might bring something back, and a guy who isn't a potential starter or swing man. In my mind, that leaves Wuertz, Cotts, and Guzman--but Guzman is included because I don't think his health history will allow him to be used much in the starting rotation. Cotts is a lefty, and the Cubs feel they need that lefty reliever, so I think he stays. Guzman's value is pretty low right now. Then again, it may never get any higher.

Jeff Samardzija

That's a lot of pitchers, and I think that bullpen is filled with guys who can't be sent down, except for Marmol. That's also 11 guys listed, instead of the 7 that would make the pitching staff 12. So, maybe it's more like 3 or 4 guys who have to go? Would any of them clear waivers? I'm also assuming that Samardzija will be starting in Iowa, which is no given.
Maybe the Cubs can send Hill to the Orioles, Hart to the Padres, and Guzman to the Royals for ... some stuff.
It feels like we've got 3-4 rule V draftees.
Re: Wuertz rumors?
I am really close to contributing $50,000 to the next Cubs blog site that has no suggestion, either explicit or implied, of a possible Peavy and Brian Roberts trade in its articles or comments. If a comment includes such a suggestion, it is deleted. If a writer does it, he/she is fired or forced to live in an East St. Louis housing project with an aging Cardinals fan (about my age) for two years.

That's a pretty sweet punishment though. Well done.
Jim Hendry: "Straight Shooter" ?? Senile?? or What??
"If we started tomorrow … we'd have seven out of 13 (position players) that either hit left-handed or switch. We've never had that kind of balance before." - Jim Hendry
The 2006 Chicago Cubs
LH or SH position players
STARTING: Juan Pierre, Jacque Jones, Todd Walker
REPLACEMENTS: John Mabry 107 games, Neifi Perez 87 games, Angel Pagan 77 games, Freddie Bynum 71 games
OTHERS: Cesar Izturis, Tony Womack, Scott Moore, Buck Coats, Jose Reyes
TOTAL: 12/23 position players
So how'd that work out for us?
Re: Jim Hendry: "Straight Shooter" ?? Senile?? or What??
i think you should compare the talent level you're playing with to start with...
actually, who cares what these suits say anyway except "we're getting/not-getting _____" and "we're looking to add a player to ___"
Re: Jim Hendry: "Straight Shooter" ?? Senile?? or What??
Calling Hendry a suit is a bit of a stretch. He wears one, but its usually all bunched up and lookin' like it doesn't belong on him.

be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
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.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er
zobrist with 2HR and a double through 8
heyward 0-4 :(
Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales
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.

on January 10, 2013 - 12:17 AM
The kid's name is Scott Hazelton.
He was a former Massachusetts high school Player of the Year and McDonald's All-American. The 6-foot-8 junior left UConn after two years on the bench for more playing time and the chance to become the Big Man on Campus at Rhode Island. In fact, he wasn't even the biggest man in the gym when he arrived in 2003.
That would be Jim Baron.
Thirty years earlier, as a teenager in the seven-story Cooper Park housing project in Brooklyn, Baron knew dozens of Scott Hazeltons. They were talented players who thought they knew everything but didn't have a clue, kids who took life's path of least resistance. Some landed in jail. Some headed for Vietnam.
Many, if not most, are dead.
Baron was the coach and Hazelton the player. By definition, it left the mustached taskmaster with more ammunition in his power struggle with the college kid. Baron had this crazy belief that his players were required to attend class. Hazelton, his best player, had this crazy belief that the rule applied to everyone else.
"When he finally figured out I wasn't going to class, he kicked me off the team," Hazelton said by telephone earlier this week. "He told me I wasn't allowed to be around the gym. He didn't want me anywhere near the team. As a matter of fact, if I had flunked any classes, I would have been out of school. So he followed me to every class for an entire semester until I smartened up."
Welcome to the Jim Baron School of Life, where he's the unquestioned Dean of Discipline. He has one rule: Follow the rules. It is non-negotiable, a mantra his players have heard with exhausting regularity for a quarter century. You stray, you pay. It was a simple lesson that Hazelton insisted on learning the hard way.
But he learned.
Last spring, Hazelton and Baron crossed paths during a tournament for Division I prospects in Rhode Island. He had played a few seasons in Europe before settling into a comfortable life with his wife and son in Massachusetts. These days, he's coaching an AAU team and teaching social studies at a school for disadvantaged kids.
Hazelton eventually realized Baron's my-way-or-the-highway act wasn't a power play but the approach of a man who knew the path to success. Basketball was merely his vehicle, his teaching tool. Hazelton extended his hand to the man who pushed him and punished him and held him to a higher standard.
And thanked his chief tormentor for saving him.
Jim Baron, the tough guy from Brooklyn, the relentless coach who intimidated his players with his deep voice and unbreakable spirit, the man who boldly and coldly left his beloved St. Bonaventure one year after taking his alma mater to the NCAA Tournament, was overwhelmed.
"I walked away and cried," Baron said. "It was as powerful as any experience I had ever gone through."
Jim Baron's voice was cracking.
Billy Baron understood why. There was more to his father than the tough exterior people see and booming voice they hear when he's storming the sideline and barking orders during a game. But there's also more to his coach than the X's and O's, W's and L's, that have come to define his career.
The Scott Hazelton story was all too familiar.
Billy Baron knew more than anybody that his father's old-school approach was the same for everybody, starting with his sons. His voice was the same in practice as it was at the dinner table. Things were done a certain way, the right way. At times, he could be overbearing. Billy learned to decode the garble and understand the message.
"He's pushing me every single day," Billy said. "Sometimes, you don't want to hear that voice nagging you, whether it's the facial hair I have or the play we're running. He's always nagging. But I know, when it comes down to crunch time, he's going to give me that freedom. And that's what you need as a point guard.
"Let me tell you something: He always sounds like a coach no matter what time of the day, no matter what month it is, offseason, during the season, it doesn't matter. Whenever he's talking, I understand where he's coming from. He's very consistent with his approach. I don't know one person who is more consistent with his mind-set."
It's why Billy Baron still gets choked up while trying to make sense of how it fell apart at Rhode Island. It has only been 10 months since his father was sent packing. The wounds are still open. The spring semester is mostly a blur for the guard, now a junior. Looking back, the final days at Rhode Island were tougher on him than anyone else.
Jim Baron, 58, had coached long enough to know the drill. Rhode Island finished with a 7-23 record in 2000-01, which is why it hired him in the first place. The Rams won 19 games in his second season, 20 in his third. They won 20 games or more four straight years before falling back to 7-24 last season.
Their record last season wasn't good enough by any standard and certainly not good enough by any standard of Baron's. He had turned around woebegone programs, but this time it turned on him. With two years remaining on his contract, which would have carried Billy through graduation, he was dismissed for the first time in his career.
Coaches get fired every year, a fact that's usually documented in fine print on the back pages of the sports section or a blip on the TV crawler. They are transactions easily dismissed and quickly forgotten. Baron packed up his belongings last March. Dan Hurley was hired to replace him.
For Billy, it wasn't that simple.
It was his father.
He sat in the first row while Rhode Island introduced Hurley, himself the son of a coach. Bob Hurley Sr. churned out dozens of Division I players at St. Anthony in New Jersey, including his two sons, with the same approach Jim Baron had. Older son Bobby won two NCAA championships with Duke and Christian Laettner.
"We had a three-hour conversation. It was right after he was introduced,'' Billy said. "He said, 'Come to the office.' It was my dad's office, which I helped clean out. I was sitting there with him in that new office. It gets me emotional because it was a very, very tough time. I respected him. I wish him nothing but the best at Rhode Island."
Billy Baron's voice was cracking.
Jim Baron understood why.
Billy is a sturdy and passionate player, but he doesn't come with the same hard-core approach possessed by his father. He has no plans to become a coach. There's a better chance he'll lean toward his mother, Cindy, a gifted painter. He was raised in a smaller family with a larger house with softer streets and fewer worries than his father had.
"It's a tremendous feeling to be with him and go through his ups and downs regardless of what it is," Jim Baron said. "I'm an old-school guy. You do what you're supposed to do. A lot of those things were etched in stone. Look at the positive things. Sometimes, you have to teach them along the way."
Billy, 22, was born in Altoona, Pa., an infant when his father took St. Francis from the depths of college basketball to 24 victories and the 1991 NCAA Tournament. He was raised on basketball in Olean after his father rescued Bona with four postseason tournament appearances in nine years. Really, though, Billy was a Rhode Island kid.
He led his Bishop Hendricken team to three state high school championships, and twice was honored as most valuable player. He played one season at Virginia but came home after his freshman year. He wanted to play for his father, the way older brother Jimmy did, and complete the mission of leading Rhode Island to the NCAAs.
It crumbled after one season.
The record was what it was. There's no disguising 7-24, but Billy, through osmosis if not repetition, understood there was more to coaching than one miserable season. His dad was a father to him, a father-figure to many more.
"That was overlooked," Billy Baron said. "Rhode Island people never saw that. The way they handled it, the way he coached people in their lives, I think he got the raw end of the deal. I'm not just saying that because he's my father. He gets the most out of his guys. From Day One, he's going to be on you."
Billy liked Hurley and could have stayed at Rhode Island, but both knew it had the potential to become too uncomfortable. He had an offer to play for Purdue, which he considered. Instead, he decided to follow his father. He liked the talent Canisius had and thought together they could win despite going 5-25 last season under Tom Parrotta.
In Buffalo, Baron's hiring was greeted mostly with indifference. The school was desperate for a coach. Baron needed a job. Billy Baron was coming, too. Big deal. Canisius would still be Canisius. The program was barely on the radar, and there were doubts they would be much better with a new coach.
And now?
Seven games into the season, the Griffs surpassed their win total from a year ago. They improved to 10-5 last weekend with a 73-64 victory over Marist. They're tied with Loyola, Niagara and Iona atop the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference standings going into their game Friday night against lowly Siena. Baron is seeking his 400th career victory.
He's still following kids to class, by the way, when he's not chasing them all over campus. He's peddling tickets and pleading with students to buy into the program. He wants their help on the road to recovery. Earlier this year, they had back-to-back sellouts for the first time in a decade.
Billy Baron, their best player, is one of the best in the conference. He's fifth in MAAC scoring at 17.5 points per game, first in assists and assist-to-turnover ratio. He's playing the way his father taught him. He's tough and tireless and smart, a coach on the floor and translator for teammates who fail to comprehend his father's message.
He can also pass along some advice. Listen to the man. Follow the rules. Someday, it will all make sense.
Ask Scott Hazelton.
"I know Coach Baron as a guy with a huge heart," Hazelton said. "I only played for him for two years, but what an impact he had on my life. If I never met Jim Baron, I wouldn't have been half the man I am now. Coach Baron was a guy who gave you tough love. But one thing that was evident was that he loves all of his players."
