Charleston Southern University's Board of Trustees has voted to approve a recommendation to change the name of the School of Nursing to the College of Nursing and Allied Health.
The name change reflects the unprecedented expansion of the program.
Dr. Tara Hulsey, Dean of the College of Nursing and Allied Health, said the change includes transitioning CSU's Kinesiology and Athletic Training programs into the newly formed College.
"This is quite an exciting time for us," said Hulsey. "The College of Nursing and Allied Health solidifies the University's commitment to preparing students for a variety of professional roles relating to health.
"Housing nursing and all allied health programs in one College provides a one-stop-shop for students interested in health related careers. It also will provide interdisciplinary learning opportunities and shared resources that will enhance student learning experiences."
Since enrolling its first class in the fall of 1995, the nursing program has experienced tremendous growth. Charleston Southern offers degree programs in Health Promotion, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, an online RN-BSN degree program and an online Master of Science in Nursing that focuses on preparing nurse educators.
The nursing program is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. Through funding partnerships with Roper St. Francis Healthcare and Trident HCA, the university has added faculty and cutting edge technology, including the addition of the i-Stan simulator by Meti in 2008.
In addition, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation presented a grant of $88,000 to fund Pediatric simulators.
Last week Roper St. Francis Healthcare formally announced their commitment for $100,000 to fund a skills lab in Charleston Southern University's expanded College of Nursing and Allied Health.
"Our long-standing partnership with Roper St. Francis Healthcare has been critical to not only the growth but also to the excellence of our BSN program," said Hulsey, dean of the College of Nursing and Allied Health at CSU. "The clinical and financial support provided by Roper St. Francis Healthcare is significant and has contributed to the success of our students.
"I am extremely grateful for the relationship and this most generous gift of support."
The university broke ground on the expansion of Derry Patterson Wingo Hall last fall. The building expansion will be a two-story, 16,100 square foot facility including classrooms, skills teaching labs, a Home Health Suite teaching lab, 11 nursing faculty offices, and an interactive space for nursing students.
The expansion is expected to be completed by the fall, nearly two decades after the original dedication when Henry Wingo donated $1.5 million for the construction a new nursing building in memory of his wife, Derry Patterson Wingo.

Rave Master is a decent anime, but I like the premise for Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds the best.

Hello ladiesss :)
I'm trying to figure out a roundabout number for a vaginal birth at the hospital when all is "said and done".. like the final bill.
I realize EVERYONE has different insurance policies & rates but was wondering if there is an average number any knowledgeable mommies can pinpoint for me?
I'm trying to gauge whether having it at a birth center for an out-of-network $4000 will compare to an in-network birth at hospital.
I'm SURE the birth center is going to more expensive but was trying to figure by how much a difference it am looking at.
Like after drugs/anesthesia/any other "hidden fees" I'm not thinking about..how much have you experienced all of these things added up to total??

Atsushi Hara was crowned champion of the BittyDesign ASIA Contest, a massive international buggy race at the world-famous Pattaya race track!
The 45-minute Final saw a couple of top contenders fall to the side through breakages, and in the second half of the race Hara stepped up the pace and motored away from the competition, lapping 3rd and 2nd place as they fought for the remaining podium spots. This was a great race to witness and proof that top-level races don't have to be dry affairs - as witnessed by the water guns provided to all the racers for a massive water fight after the trophy presentations! The top two places on the podium were taken with HB Racing Tyres - Hara used the awesome HB Gridlock design for his dominating performance! For more info and pictures about this race, check out the complete Neobuggy article!p/url] Thanks to Neobuggy for the extensive report and use of these great pictures!

When Heidi Klum saved her 7-year-old son and two nannies from the strong undertow of the Pacific Ocean on her Hawaiian vacation, she says she was just doing her duty as a mother.
"People are used to seeing me on the beach in a bikini, smiling with the wind in my hair," Klum, 39, tells PEOPLE exclusively of the scary scene, in which her son Henry and two nannies began to struggle in the powerful ocean current.
"These photos taken recently look much worse that it really was that day. I did what any mother would do," Klum, who jumped into action with boyfriend Martin Kirsten, says. "Henry swam out of it. I grabbed him at the shore. The nannies were the ones in much deeper trouble."
Continues Klum: "Never underestimate the power of the ocean."
A friend adds that the family was surprised they "were being photographed and no one would come help."
After the frightening incident, Klum and her family arrived home safely in Los Angeles on Monday.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Jan. 24, 2013
Saint Vincent College will host a presentation by Brittany Aubin of the Global Poverty Project at 11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 8 in the Performing Arts Center of the Robert S. Carey Student Center. Admission is free and open to the public. The program will include a multimedia presentation, entitled 1.4 Billion Reasons, that focuses on the plight of the 1.4 billion people in the world living in extreme poverty and the opportunities that everyone has to reduce that number to zero. The presentation is part of the project's spring tour of the United States during which they are engaging and inspiring audiences to understand and get involved in the movement to end extreme poverty. The presentation focuses on five questions: What is extreme poverty? Can we do anything about it? What are the barriers to ending extreme poverty? Why should we care? What can I do? "I believe this presentation and the mission of the Global Poverty Project are very much in line with Saint Vincent College's Benedictine values and Catholic social justice principles," commented Dr. Elaine M. Bennett, assistant professor of anthropology. "I can imagine many ways our faculty from many disciplines might integrate this kind of discussion into their teaching. The presentation will focus on systemic problems such as inequitable distribution of resources and solutions such as the need for better and more transparent international aid as well as ethical and fair trade." In conjunction with the presentation that day, all Saint Vincent College students having breakfast in the dining hall will be presented with an option of plain rice and tea. "This option is meant to represent the type of meal that might be available to someone living in extreme poverty," Bennett explained. "The station set up for the poverty breakfast will be directly juxtaposed against the typical menu offered in the cafeteria on a daily basis to encourage students to think about the lives of the poor. We are inviting faculty and staff to also take part in this effort to raise awareness of extreme poverty. For each student who opts for the poverty breakfast, $1 will be donated to a charity that serves people in extreme poverty." The event is being co-sponsored by the Saint Vincent College School of Humanities and Fine Arts and its History and Theology Departments, Saint Vincent College School of Social Sciences, Communication and Education and its Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Alpha Chi Honor Society, Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, Anthropology Club, Office of Serving Learning and Community Outreach, Student Government Association, Multicultural Student Coalition and the Dean of Studies.

Ben Owen, a second-year student in the Biomedical Sciences M.S. program, has been selected to present a poster at the National Student Research Forum. The forum seeks to provide an opportunity for graduate students, medical students, interns, and residents conducting research in the biomedical sciences to assemble and receive recognition and feedback from established scientists. This event takes place yearly at the University of Texas Medical Branch campus in Galveston, TX and is planned and managed by students.
Ben's project is entitled "Short-Term Activity-Dependent Changes in Axonal Function in Hippocampal CA3 Pyramidal Neurons." The hippocampus is a region of the brain that is essential for normal memory function. Ben's study examines how pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus function when they are activated at high frequencies (between 30 and 100 Hertz). This type of high-frequency activity in the neurons is common to normal processes, such as encoding and retrieving memory, as well as pathological processes, including seizures. Although scientists thoroughly understand how neurons create action potentials (the spike in electrical potential that is responsible for communication between neurons), little experimental attention has been given to how high frequency activation affects generation of action potentials. Ben researches within Dr. Larry Grover's lab in the Robert C. Byrd Biotechnology Science Center.
Ben says that he is excited to have the chance to share his research with fellow students and scientists on the national level. Congratulations to Ben on being selected for this opportunity!

Over 3,000 Holiday "Gifts" Delivered to Congress in First Postcards for Parity Drive Since May, advocates have asked their friends, family, neighbors, church members, knitting circles, doctors and nurses to take a moment for myeloma patients and fill out a postcard for HR2746. The last six-months have culminated in over 3100 people urging members of Congress to co-sponsor HR2746, the Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act. I want to personally thank each and EVERY person who participated, whether you filled out a postcard at a neighbor's house or you personally carried postcards with you everywhere you went for months asking everyone you saw to fill one out. Thank you for making this first round an unbelievable success!
Ohio's SB194 is Finally Heard On Tuesday November 13th, SB194, the Cancer Treatment Modernization Act was heard in front of the Ohio Senate Insurance, Commerce and Labor Committee. Advocate Dave McPeek testified on behalf of the IMF, and shared with the committee the pain and frustration he and his family experienced when faced with the reality that the necessary treatment for his myeloma was financially out of reach. Thank you to all the Ohio Advocates who wrote to Committee Chair state Senator Kevin Bacon asking for a hearing.
The Atlanta Area Support Groups Step Up to the Plate This month we honor all members of the Atlanta Area Support Groups as our Advocates of November 2012 for their contribution to our Postcards for Parity Program. With their hard work we delivered over 400 postcards to six Congressional legislators asking them to co-sponsor HR2746. Read how they accomplished this achievement here.
Election Wrap Up With the end of the election season, the IMF is moving forward with its work to ensure that key provisions of health reform that provide high quality of care for cancer patients are maintained. In doing so, we will continue to educate legislators at the state and federal level about the needs of cancer patients, and, working with our coalition of cancer organizations, we will continue to provide input in Washington as they determine policies and regulations.

As the holiday shopping season kicks into gear and shoppers prepare to hit the retailers in full force, some stores have prepared for the onslaught by hiring seasonal workers.
"I would say seasonal employment is up about 10 percent in this market, which runs from Johnstown to Williamsport," said Brock Kull, vice president/managing director of Manpower, an employment services company.
Although hiring is up, Kull said he is seeing another trend at some retailers.

Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec
Linda Wible of Altoona, the Christmas department manager at Unkel Joe's Woodshed, touches up part of the store's display. Seasonal hiring is up at some places, but other stores are depending more on current employees picking up extra hours.
"There are a lot of places asking their part-time people to take on more hours rather than hiring new part-time people; we are seeing this more so than in the past," Kull said. "Employers are fearful of bringing on too many new people because it is expensive to train them. Their own people are willing to take on more hours so the stores don't need to hire as many seasonal employees."
That trend is part of the business climate at Unkel Joe's Woodshed, Altoona, which typically doesn't hire a lot of extra seasonal employees.
"This year we hired only two extra people; they are high school kids who help with things like lifting merchandise, helping at the checkout and wrapping packages," President Larry Baker said. "We have a good stable of part-time people and we don't need others. Our people are working more hours to save on expenses."
Hiring is up about 10 percent at Kohl's Department Stores.
Company officials said they anticipated hiring more than 52,700 associates nationwide this holiday season, up more than 10 percent from last year to support their holiday business in stores and growth in e-commerce in 2012.
Kohl's planned to hire an average of 41 associates per store, an increase of 4 percent over 2011.
"That commitment to deliver on our customer promise to expect great things is especially important during the holiday season," John Worthington, Kohl's chief administrative officer, said in a statement.
Seasonal hiring also is up at Best Buy.
"We are up slightly this year with 24,000 employees hired for the holidays," company spokeswoman Maggie Habashy said.
An additional 12,000 seasonal employees will boost the ranks and nearly 10,000 seasonal employees will be added to Best Buy's customer support channels. An additional 2,000 will expand existing distribution center teams, Habashy said.
Seasonal hirings are about the same as last year at Target and Boscov's.
"We are hiring between 80,000 and 90,000 across the country. That is pretty consistent with last year," Target spokeswoman Jessica Stevens said. "We had a 30 percent retention rate of our seasonal employees from last year. We are very proud of our retention rate."
"We have 41 stores and have hired a total of about 2,000 seasonal workers or about 50 per location. Altoona may be slightly more," said Ed Elko, Boscov's senior vice president for human resources.
Seasonal hiring is down at both Sears, Roebuck and Co. and J.C. Penney in the Logan Valley Mall.
"We are down but I am not sure by how much. We have had a hard time finding qualified applicants," said Stephanie Pennington, Sears operations manager.
Penney's store manager Bill Crouse said seasonal hiring is down slightly but wouldn't comment further.

Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
5 Runs on the Road, Lilly Pitching, Not Enough.
- Soriano lines the first pitch down the left field line, and hopping up into the stands where they jut out, for a ground-rule double.
- Theriot, trying to bunt, runs a 3-0 count. Let him hit, LouPa. 3-2, and Theriot walks.
- Lee lazily flies to center, and the Cubs are 1-29 RISP on the trip. Soriano holds at second.
- Hoffpauir laces a shot down the right field line. Foul. Eventually K's swinging over a nice changeup, low and away. 1-30.
- Fox blasts a HR to deep, deep left-center. 411 feet, says BJB. 3-0 Cubs on Fox's first homerun.
- Fontenot chases a pitch in the dirt, strike three.
- Granderson bounces out to Fontenot at third
- and Santiago pops into foul territory in shallow left, where Theriot grabs it.
- Cabrera clobbers one to right-center. Hoffpauir makes an... entertaining... effort on the ball, which hits off one of teh weird angles in the fence and rolls away. Cabrera holds with a double.
- Thames pops into shallow center, easy play for Theriot.
- 3-0 to Fukudome. 3-1. Fukudome dribbles one back to Galarraga.
- Hill swings over an off-speed pitch for a foul-tip strike three.
- Blanco fouls off a pitch that A. nearly hit him and B. would have bounced and gone to the backstop. 0-2. Comes back to 2-2, before squibbing one down to Cabrera at third.
- Raburn flies to shallow center, where Fukudome gets it.
- Oh, this is interesting. A WGN replay of the Cabrera shot shows, pretty clearly, that it hit above the yellow line on the fence, richochetting back into the field of play off of a metal railing. No one protested it, and so it stands as a double instead of a home run. Blame it on the stupid geometry of the Detroit outfield, as it hit right where the fence angles backward.
- Inge K's swinging.
- Ordonez with an easy two-hopper to Fontenot.
- 3-0 to Soriano, swings at a pitch right in on the fists, and just does get it over Inge into left field.
- Theriot K's swinging at a slider.
- 2-2 to Lee. In the dirt, 3-2. Soriano runs, and Lee smokes one to deep left. Raburn, however, catches it up against the fence, and Soriano, who has rounded second, gets doubled-off by a step or two as he tries to return to first. Tough way to end the inning. Replay shows that Raburn wasn't anticipating a chance to double Soriano off, and Soriano was walking back toward second base after he had rounded it, before running when he saw there was a play.
- Dusty Ryan K's swinging at a change.
- Everett chops a slow curve towards short. Fontenot tries to cut it off, as he's supposed to, but Theriot's also coming straight in from short stop, and they knick each other, the ball rolling away. Ruled a hit.
- Granderson squibs one up the third base line, Fontenot makes a very nice play charging in and firing to first. Everett to second.
- Santiago hits a high fly ball down the left field line, dropping it into the bullpen. 3-2 Cubs.
- Hoffpauir grounds to Cabrera.
- Fox lines a single into left. Looking good today.
- Fontenot with a slow chop just to the right of Second base, Santiago with the awkward short flip to Everett at the bag, not enough time to double-up fontenot at first.
- Fukudome lines a nice shot into the right-center gap for a triple. 4-2 Cubs
- Hill misses a slider by about two feet. K.
- Thames finds the right-center gap for a double.
- Raburn hits a curve that gets way too much of the plate down the left-field line, off the base of the wall. Soriano plays it well, but it's still a run-scoring double. 4-3 Cubs.
- BJB claims that you didn't hear any complaining from the hitters about Comerica Park when it opened, unlike Padres hitters who complained about Petco. I'm willing to bet that doesn't stand up to ten seconds of googling.
- Inge smashes one to Fontenot, playing deep and off the bag. He blocks it, picks it up and throws to first, but Raburn manages to go from second to third on the play. More smart baserunning on Raburn's part than anything.
- Ordonez, mired in a 40-game HR drought, hits a HR into the left-field pen. Another curveball that got too much of the plate, too high. 4-5 Tigers. On an 0-2 pitch.
- Ryan grounds to Fontenot, who is seeing a lot of action at third.
- Magglio had his hair cut yesterday, to be sold on ebay for charity. BJB reports it was 2 poinds of hair. That seems like a lot of hair.
- Everett K's swinging.
- Blanco golfs one into right-center, Granderson makes an easy catch.
- Next pitch, Soriano hits one ten feet to the right of Blanco's, and Ordonez grabs it.
- Another quick fly ball off Lee's bat, to straight-away center. Len's pointed out that the Tigers seem to be doing a much better job of pulling their hits down the lines, whereas the Cubs keep on hitting towards the cavernous center-field.
- Granderson grounds one past Blanco's left, and into right.
- Santiago bunts to Lilly, advancing Granderson.
- Cabrera singles just in front of Soriano, forcing Granderson to hold up. Runners at 1 and 3.
- Thames swings, and chucks his bat directly over the Tigers' dugout, where about three fans refuse to let go of it. After determining possession, the attendants direct him where to trade it in for another. Eventually, Thames K's swinging.
- Raburn inside-outs one into right field for another hit. Granderson scores, Cabrera to second. Another weak breaking pitch, BJB calls it a slider. 4-6 Tigers.
- Inge bounces to Fontenot, 5-3 putout.
- 2-0 to Lee, he flails at a frisbee slider outside, then swings over a changeup. 2-2. Hits a deep fly down the right field line, just foul. Finally rolls into a 6-3.
- Hoffpauir grounds to first.
- Fox lines one down the left-field line for a double. Hanging slider.
- Fontenot with a weak swing and weaker grounder out to second, inning over. 2-34 RISP.
- 71 strikes, 22 balls for Lilly so far. Seems to match the observation that Lilly's missing with breaking stuff in the middle of the zone that he probably wants out of the zone.
- Ordonez K's swinging. 6 K, 0 BB for Lilly
- Ryan singles one out to Soriano. Hart warming up for Chicago.
- Ryan, the catcher, takes off with agreat jump. Has the base stolen, but slides over the base, comes off it just a bit, and Blanco keeps the tag on him, getting the out. Full count to Everett, and he walks on a curve or slider off the plate. Odd pitch selection for the 9th hitter in the lineup.
- Len points out that Bobby Seay and Brendon Lyon give you Seay-Lyon in the pen. Ouch.
- Granderson grounds to Blanco.
- Seay in for Galarraga
- Fukudome grounds between Santiago and Cabrera, Santiago gets it and Cabrera has to get back to 1st. Fukudome is running hard just in case, but he's out.
- Hill hits a sharp grounder right past Seay's feat. Santiago makes an impressive diving stop, throws from his right knee, and Hill is "out" at first. He sort of spins and throw up his arms at the call. It looks like he may have just barely been out.... Barely....
- Blanco flies out to right.
- Hart in. Santiago with the swinging bunt, Fontenot bare-hands it and makes a strong throw, Santiago barely beats it.
- Cabrera smashes one at Theriot, who makes the pick on a brutal hop. Turns it into a nice 6-4-3. Thames then lines out to Soriano.
- Lyon in for Seay.
- Soriano K's at a splitter or curve or something in the dirt. ugly.
- Theriot with the old inside-out swing, but it's a liner to Cabrera, easy out.
- Lee bounces toward the middle, Santiago gets it. May be the end of Lee's hitting streak.
- Raburn singles through the 6-5 hole.
- Looking like threatening weather in Detroit.
- Inge pops to medium-depth center, which, given how deep Fukudome plays and his bad read on the ball, requires him to race to get there.
- Grounder right to Theriot who shovels to Blanco. Ball hits him right in the mitt, as he's lowering it towards his throwing hand, which is simulanteously coming up for the ball, and the ball pops right out. To my eyes, he never had control of the ball and wasn't really beginnung the process of transfering it for the throw. But the ump gives us the out at second.
- Josh Anderson runs for Ordonez.
- Steals second, sliding in to Blanco's left knee on the play, knocking him down. Ball goes into center, and Anderson takes third. Ruled a tough error on Koyie Hill.
- Slow curve ball outside, for ball four to Dusty Ryan. Why are we throwing the two weakest hitters in the lineup curveballs with three-ball counts?
- Everett battles, and finally walks on a 3-2 count. At least this time it was on a fastball wide.
- Marshall in to face Granderson. Marshall has become the Cubs' version of Bill O'Reilly: his job is to go after every single lefty out there. And indeed, Marshall K's Granderson on a nice curve.
- Rodney in. Fastball outside, and Hoffpauir hits an impressive opposite-field HR into the first row of the left-field seats. 5-6 Tigers.
- Fox K's at a slider or change outside and in the dirt, out on the throw at first.
- Wind blowing out to center, we're told.
- Howling winds as the weather comes in. Kind of wild. Umbrellas being ripped to pieces. Fukudome looking up at the weather with some amazement
- Fontenot K's swinging at another off-speed pitch
- 2-1 to Fukudome, he lines an opposite-field double to the left-center gap, rolling to the wall. Nice swing at the fastball.
- Soto in to pinch-hit for Hill. Lots of change-ups, 1-2 count. 98 mph fastball, off the outside corner for ball two.
- Pitch in the dirt, and Soto checks his swing at it. Home plate ump calls it a strike swinging. How about going to First Base Ump for some help on a game-ending call, ump?
- No one is in parachat. I talk to myself.
- I am all alone. ~sigh~.
- Token_Cripple shows up and leaves, without me noticing. Chad arrives and I notice. We exchange theories on where everyone is.
- Andres Galarraga's second career as Armando.
- Hooray, Newports and CT_Steve join us, to chat about Soriano's baserunning.
- Theriot's worth, and where he should hit.
- woo, Lowitzki joins.
- "Hiding" people in your lineup, hah.
- More Theriot debating.
- and as long as we're acknowledging everyone who shows up in parachat today, we get Ahone_Ahtwo_Ahthree, one of my favorite TCR handles.
- Scrubby-ass.
- Publishing pedagogical articles.
- Fox's potential
- Who isn't a triple away from the cycle?
- Savebot. Made in Korea.
- And we get Rob G. trying to end strong on a weak start to Parachat
- Fan Cam in Detroit.
- Domino's Pizza tells us to "put some South in your mouth." Oh my.
- Carlos appears.
- How much of this season is LouPa's fault?

- Farrah Fawcett and Richard Dawson.
- Soto busted for pot.
- Who is Gilbert Knapp?
- Carlos's bad dream.
- Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Dave's Twitter.
- Star Search.
- I continue to flunk analogies.
- Cheering for the rally. Best line of encouragement comes from CT_Steve: "Put some Captain Crunch on First Base for Soto!"
- Disappointment, again
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
You know, the Cubs are 1-0 at games that I attend this year. If anyone wants to chip in to buy me future tickets to Cubs games so that the Cubs win more games, I am more than willing to participate.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Sadly a streak has no bearing on future success.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Well played.
And good to know that you are finally getting it.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Dave's Head
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Ah, the irony of Real Neal telling me that sarcasm is over my head, based on a sarcastic comment that I made.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Some sarcastic comments are more subtle than others. Sort of like your Gaydar.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Consider this one over my head. What does this even mean?
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Duh. That's every bit as obvious as the bunny with the pancake on his head. I guess some people just don't "get it."
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Warren Zevon would have gotten it.
Some people are flamboyantly gay, it's very easy to tell that they're looking to attract members of the same sex. Some people are very low key about it, with the only the most subtle signs that they are gay. Your 'gaydar' is your ability to pick up on those signs. Likewise, some people are able to pick up on more subtle sarcasm.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
I understand the concept of being gay as well as the term "gaydar." What I don't really understand is how a gaydar itself can be subtle. So he is skillful and quiet at detecting others who are gay? I assume there is an insult in this somewhere as well, but I don't get it.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Being gay cab be subtle. Sarcasm can be subtle. It takes a specialized skill to pick up on either of them.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Ok? So you are saying he is not good at picking up subtle sarcasm but he IS good at detecting subtle gayness? How is this funny? Is it supposed to be bad to pick up on subtle gayness?
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
I suspect with his chosen lifestyle it's very useful to have a refined gaydar.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Yeah why can't they "choose" not to be gay...
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
I am confused.
So my sarcastic comment to your sarcastic comment means that I don't understand sarcasm. And that I am gay. Or at least have a subtle and refined gaydar.
Oh - and are you really trying to insult me by calling me gay? Aren't you the same one calling others childish?
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Oh, you aren't gay. I thought it was some sort of inside joke between you two.
Yeah, insulting someone by calling them gay? That's sad.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
why on this f'n earth is milton bradley being benched for 2 days?
is there any truth to this? what the hell?
does he walk too much? is it his hits that's bugging people? 4 games ago he hit 2 doubles and he walked 5 times in the 2 games before today's game. what the hell gives? aren't we losing right now? don't we already have an injured 4th OF'r?
at least our "don't need a break" leadoff hitter has his ob% above .290 again.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Amen on all counts!
This is really pathetic! Let's take our scrubby-ass team into the next city and get kicked around for another series. Like the Tin Man, we have NO HEART! Has Lou turned into Boilermaker from the Bad News Bears? Soto looks like Engelberg, and Fontenot reminds me of Lupus. Can someone step up as Kelly Leak please?
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
if you are going to make a harsh comparison please make sure you get it right.
It's Buttermaker not Boilermaker.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
You are correct, but I'm pretty sure someone calls him Boilermaker at some point in the movie...
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Milton thought it was a night game, and threw his bat to a fan.
Or, maybe he hurt himself trying to break the bat over his knee.
In 166 AB, Milton has 16 RBIs. That is not a typo.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
they've sat Milton a day after a night game pretty regularly...not sure why or if he's going to sit tomorrow against Contreras, but that be the odd rumor.
He was in the on-deck circle when Soto K'd to end the game.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
"NOTES: The Cubs took OF Milton Bradley(notes) out of the lineup, but manager Lou Piniella said "call it a day off," seemingly to play down the decision"
okay...other outlets have it as a single day off. given he got a day off except a pinch hit a few days ago i dunno why, but whatever. i can deal with a single day off as a fan.
also...aaron miles injured himself in the f'n batting cage today and is going to be medically evaluated.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Sullivan's speculation has seemed to start the "Bradley is benched for two games" talk.
White Sox fans looking forward to heckling Milton Bradley on Friday at U.S. Cellular Field may be in for a big disappointment.
Manager Lou Piniella has benched Bradley today against Detroit, and said the mercurial outfielder probably won't play on Friday either.
"Let's just call it a day off for today," Piniella said, adding Bradley will play on Saturday and Sunday "for sure."
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
"at least our "don't need a break" leadoff hitter has his ob% above .290 again."
The horse is dead, man.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
yet it's still right in our face everyday. enjoy the comment, ignore the comment, or comment on the comment.
the worst regular hitter on the team...for months...is our leadoff hitter.
i know why he is, but he's some unmovable force in the 1 slot no matter how hobbled his legs are or how slumped his bat is...it's been that way for years and i don't really expect a change at this point. with aram almost returning it seems like a wasted opportunity to me at this point, anyway.

Cubs contemplating DeRosa
about $2M left on his deal
nd now for another potential Cleveland deal to watch: For all the weird talk in Chicago last week about some kind of fictional rift between Mark DeRosa and Lou Piniella, we've been hearing that the Cubs have kicked the tires on a deal that could bring DeRosa back to Wrigleyville.
If they do reacquire him, $20 bucks says he gets booed the first time he grounds into a double play.
Re: Cubs contemplating DeRosa
Don't toy with us, Rob. This was a douchy thing to post. You're a big meanie.

Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Yeah, we know.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Soto failed a World Baseball drug test in March for Marijuana, gets a 2 year ban from international play. No MLB ban.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
for international competition i can support this...
weed testing in the minors is snagging a lot of guys, though.
granted...being told 'no weed, this job pays 350K+ at the top level.' is a hell of motivation enough, but there are guys out there who would like to manage their pain (and recreation) with something other than the local bar and a fist full of pills.
ultimately no big deal, but that "weed thing" is well hated amongst minor leaguers.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Soriano with RISP: 8 for 52 (.154)
Soriano with runners on: 16 for 83 (.193)
At this stage, the only way I'd agree with you about moving him down is if the reason is to get him fewer at bats.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
fine, you got me convinced...soriano leading off being the worst batter on the team makes total sense.
how i ever couldn't figure out the greatness of giving the most ABs to a guy with a .255 ob% over a 2 month period and 200abs is lost on me. i guess i wasn't thinking. maybe i should go have a V8.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
I'm not trying to convince you. I was complaining about you bringing it up on a regular basis. Your sarcasm is duly noted and appreciated.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
it's gonna come up again...don't take it personally.
at least im not here with 100 posts about how it's lou's fault jake fox fell down and how he needs to give everyone hours of IF defensive drills or how lou is making this team fail cuz he's doing the wrong elderly fat guy stuff.
this team's failure isn't on soriano by a mile, but the guy is so damn stagnant and his power (imo) is being wasted. with aram out that compounds the whole issue for me.
we're 200ab's into something he's not "hitting himself" out of.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
See comment #2. It's not a slump, it's just a vagary of sample size.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Sure... except for the fact that it IS a slump.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
The whole discussion of when Soriano plays and where he bats is distorted by the fact that the Cubs still owe him $98 million. He's too big to fail.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Didn't take it personally. I realize you're not posting it to be annoying to me or anyone else.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
I think it's less annoying than people who haven't figured out the imbedded comments thing.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Good. It's not as annoying as thinking "reed" is an adjective or when people use "imbed" instead of "embed." To each his own.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Vary childish.
Just curious, did you get upset when people referred to Dawson as 'the hawk' when 'hawkish' was a perfectly good adjective, or 'Hoss' or 'Bull' or ...?
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Still not getting the "Reed/Reedy Johnson"/"Skinny Dick" thing, apparently. That's OK, your mileage may very.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Childish? You went out of your way to correct my grammar in the previous post, so take your lumps!
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
I didn't correct your grammar. I made a comment about your sentence construction, but I didn't correct that either. It was a joke.

Infield Fly Rule
Here is a question for you guys, I am wondering if anyone else has heard of this. Someone told me the other day that their are technically two kinds of infield fly rules.
The first is the typical one we see, where the umpire calls it and the batter is out and the runners can advance on their will either after it is caught or hits the grounds. The second type, this guy told me, is if the umpire makes the call too late for the runners to have a fair chance to get back to their bases. So if right off the bat either the umpire fails to call it, or he doesn't think it will be easy to catch, but during it's flight it becomes clear that it will be easily caught, he can call an infield fly rule and a DEAD BALL. Meaning the batter is out and runners have to go back to their bases and can't advance but also can't get doubled off.
I've never heard of this second type before, and I can find no mention of this in the rule book. I also assume that MLB umpires are good enough that they make the call promptly and this never comes into play. The guy who told me this was studying to be an umpire for a while and took some classes or something, but I wondered if anyone else has ever heard of such a thing.
Re: Infield Fly Rule
Never heard of it, but it makes sense. There are times when a ball is hit over the shortstop's head, that I think they don't call it, and the shortstop could probably turn a double play (assuming 1st and 2nd), but I've never seen a shortstop do that.
I get annoyed sometimes on pop-up bunts, I remember we got screwed on one where the catcher let it drop last year. Not sure if the infield fly rule is supposed to apply to bunts, I can see arguments on both sides of that.
Re: Infield Fly Rule
But when could a "late" infield fly rule call possibly hurt the runners? Presumably, infield fly is being called because it's become obvious that the ball can easily be caught. In such a case, the runners shouldn't have left their bases or should be returning to them in a hurry, so calling a dead ball is no safer for the runners than regular infield fly. I suppose there could be a boneheaded baserunning mistake or someone could have been moving on the pitch and not have noticed that the ball was popped up, but in such a case the fielder would have no incentive to drop the ball--catch it, and you double the runner up. So I can't see why there should be a different rule for a late infield fly call.
Pop-up bunts are weird, yes. Not enough time to make the call. But also not much time for the fielder to think about whether it makes more sense to let it drop, so most times it's not an issue.
Re: Infield Fly Rule
Yeah, this is why I asked, I can't really see the logic behind the second type this guy told me about. But I thought maybe I was missing something.
On bunts, the first line of the rule specifically excludes them, probably for the reasons noted above: "An INFIELD FLY is a fair fly ball (not including a line drive nor an attempted bunt) which can be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort, when first and second, or first, second and third bases are occupied, before two are out."
Re: Infield Fly Rule
Just a guess here:
Perhaps this is an archaic rule from the early days of the infield fly rule. Perhaps early on, they were worried that the ump would forget to make the call right away, and the runners would be waiting for it, and then they would have to take off at the last second when they realized the call wasn't being made. Right as they start sprinting for the next base, the ump realizes his error, and makes the call, but it's too late for the runners to reverse course. The ump could then call the dead ball and allow the runners to return.
Nowadays, almost immediately after the skyball goes up, you hear the ump yell, "Flyball! Batter's out!" So it really never comes into play now that everyone knows the rule well and expects it.

Okay, no need for a competition for Funniest Comment on Soto's Positive Reefer Test. You've clinched it, E-Man.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Is Soto the Jackie Robinson of the "legalize it" movement? Something to think about...
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Soto's slugging is almost up to .420!
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Soto's biggest problem is that if he doesn't find a way to turn things around at the plate, this test is going to haunt him. Although he says this was "an isolated incident," people will always wonder if he cares more about smoking weed with his buddies than he does becoming a consistent big league player.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
I can just imagine what the Sox fans are going to do this weekend: Signs of "Legalize It!"; Cannabis Leaves, T-Shirts with Soto sporting "Marley Dreads"; Huge "spleefs" - or a Louisville Slugger "twisted" at the ends; on and on and on...

Well, I can only say, that I have spent some time on the western most part of Puerto Rico, including Mayaguez and Rincon (just beautiful, and the people are wonderful).
One night at an outdoor locals bar, there was a reggae band playing. Singing mostly in Spanish. With Red Stripe in hand some nice local "Rastas", told me roots reggae iz still popular, as is reggaeton now, of course.
but, I did not see Soto with a "spleef" anywhere that night.

That should read "Soto's biggest problem is that if he doesn't find a way to push things away at the plate".
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Would the Cubs have the cojones to fire Lou?
Huge payroll, with grotesque underperformnce by a half dozen or more players, and Lou's 'Hey, what can I do?" attitude would lead to a firing in many organizations.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
If Lou had less "standing" in the game and a much lower salary he probably would have already been fired, not because of anything he has or hasn't done, but just because teams usually make changes when hopes fall apart this badly. Dave Kaplan on WGN radio talked about this tonight, although he never agreed that a lessor manager would have already been canned. Kap did claim over and over even when angry listeners phoned in, that it's not Lou's fault, it's the players, and that he only wants to see Lou start benching guys regardless of paychecks.
I don't know if changing managers would do anything, and I can't see it happening in season. Maybe if they don't make the playoffs this season Lou decides in October or November he's ready to retire.
I think if Lou were to bench Soriano and anyone else who is sucking it up, and let Hoffpauir and/or Fox get more time it might wake some people up. Maybe not. But Lou already seems to have written Miles off, starting Blanco everyday now at second base. (Unless Miles has another undisclosed injury)
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
I agree that changing managers this year wont help, as this team's struggles are due to how its was constructed more than how its being managed. This team has the 3rd highest payroll yet the only competly reliable reliever is someone who did not even have a guarnteed job going into camp (Guzman). Given that Marmol had shown prior to this year that he can be hit or miss we needed a more reliable reliever than Gregg as competion to close. The Brewers are paying Hoffman for example only a million more than we are Gregg. Also how do you not enter the season with a quality insurance policy for your best hitter who is injury prone Ramirez. One could have been picked up cheap in FA (Branyan, Hinske, Nomar, or Wiggington) or trade (Teahan). Why would you fixate on finding a LH masher in RF and then settle for a Switchhitter coming off career year as a DH who hits better from the right side. Why pay 2.5 mil for a util IF when you have a comparable guy in the minors like Blanco you could pay the minium for. Honestly I would like for us to be sellers and get out of what money we can and revamp a barren farm system like Lee (if he takes a deal with the Giants, who given its closeness to SAC is the only place he would likely waive the NTC) Harden (too risky to offer him arbitration if he is a Type A, because I doubt anybody is going to want to lose a pick to sign him) Gregg (ditto Harden rationle, though its 80% odds he is Type B), Lilly (only if we get a top tier package of prospects back) Bradley (I doubt anyone wants his contract, but its worth a shot). On the hand I dont trust Jimbo to a good job on that or buying.
Re: My Hindsight is 20/20
You probably didn't know this, but you can change the name of your comments from the original article's name to something more appropriate. Here you should have used 'My Hindsight is 20/20'.
Hoffman is 41, had an ERA+ last year of 101 (compared to 125 for Gregg), and started the year on the DL.
Teahan had an OPS+ of 91 last year, the guy we signed had a 99 and could play middle infield positions, and didn't cost anything. Branyan had an OPS against lefties last year of .000. Nomar was hurt at the same time as Ramirez, and Wigginton has an OPS+ of 79 this year.
But yes, the team is not going well. You're not the first person to point this out. What did you say about the team 2 years ago?
Re: My Hindsight is 20/20
If hindsight is 20/20, Hendry's foresight this off season was about 80/80...
Re: My Hindsight is 20/20
Four times as good! Awesome!
Re: My Hindsight is 20/20
I think what you're going for is 20/80. 80/80 would be the same as 20/20. Also 20/80 is not that bad. I'd put Hendry's foresight at 20/800 which I think is legally blind. And yes I know you don't care, but it's Friday afternoon and I trying to kill time until I get off work.
Re: My Hindsight is 20/20
Yeah, you are right, I was going for 4X as bad in each eye - which would be 80/20 in each not 80/80...
Re: My Hindsight is 20/20
The numbers, as I recall are feet. 80/20 would be that you can see at 80 feet what the average person can see at 20 feet... I think. Superior vision is usually expressed by reducing the denominator. Ted Williams was said to have 20/10 vision.
Re: My Hindsight is 20/20
That's how my opthamologist explained it. My eyesight is like 20/450 in one eye and 20/800 in the other. Not so good. Even with contacts I'm about 20/50.

Joe Girardi.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
as long as he has the support of his players it's probably not gonna be an option unless the media or fans jump all over him. for 140m you'd expect more, but i don't think it's a fat elderly man not giving out enough butt pats doing most of the wrong.
it's a horribly under-performing team for 140m, but the fat man seems to have control of his clubhouse...at least i dunno of any present drama that's being reported or rumored.
i'm just glad the fans on whole seem to give a crap about the players instead of thinking some elderly fat man holds magical playing abilities that he can will on his players. that era of cubdom with baylor/baker (and the end of the riggleman era) was getting so damn old. dubois vs. hollandsworth sucked because they both suck...not because some elderly fat man screwed one or the other over. willie greene vs. shane andrews sucked because they both suck....etc etc....
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
I haven't seen the team play during this road trip -- lucky me, but the last time I saw them play Len and Bob were talking about how if Soriano just sat his bat on his shoulder he'd be on base 4 times a game on walks. And the last time I saw him steal a base he exploded down the line. That was the one late in the game where Theriot drove him in on that hit off the first basemen's glove.
What I don't understand about managers, any of them, is why how much someone makes should have an effect on how they manage them. I don't happen to think another manager would act any differently than Lou towards Soriano, but if I was manager I would be sorely tempted to wring the dude's neck if he doesn't average at least a walk per game. That's being generous. No pitcher that is average or better is going to throw a low fastball to Soriano until he starts taking a few walks. And his numbers are getting bad enough now that Lou really needs to consider sitting him down, the money be damned.
The money is Hendry's problem, not Lou's.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
So I thought I keep up on AZ Phil's stuff but I missed this Starlin Castro dude somehow.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
On WSCR this morning Tampa columnist Joe Henderson said Lou "is very concerned about making the Hall of Fame" and felt his time in Tampa may have hurt that.
I'm not an advocate for a change for change sake but I feel something is not right with Lou. I'm not asking him to have a tirade on or off the field but he was talking about "changes" last week and the only that happened was Blanco was put in the line up.
I would like to see Marmol close, Soriano dropped down and more Jake Fox until Aram comes back.
Something we should know...
From an article at BP about Manny's AAA performance:
"The Pacific Coast League remains a hitter's league, but really only on the left side of the county, as the teams that play from the old American Association remain in a somewhat offense-neutral environment, and there is little cross-division play."
Something I suspected for a while, whereas the majority of people here think that Iowa is playing in the 'old PCL' when it comes to hitting conditions.
Re: Something we should know...
So Democrats are better hitters than Republicans? Suck on that O'Reilly.
Its on Hendry
I still think that with DeRosa on the club, there are 4-5 more wins in the bag, and more flexibility on the bench. It is a stronger team. AZ PHL said, with his trade, "Its gonna be a long season." and so far, he's right.
After 2006, Hendry was determined to not get behind the 8-ball due to injury. DeRosa became the MVP due to the myriad positions he needed to play when players went down with injuries.
This year he counted on ACTUAL utility guys who are sucking ass as starters, as well as career minor leaguers, to fill the void left when A-Ram went down.
Other than DLEE (thank you for pulling it together, sir!) DeRosa would be our best hitter right now.
Hendry gambled with my money, in part, and he's losing to this point. How utterly short-sighted he was.
Re: Its on Hendry
Even if we have 4-5 more wins in the bag, how satisfied are you with the team?
Re: Its on Hendry
Well 5 more wins means 5 fewer losses which would be 39-30. Good enough for first in the division.
Re: Its on Hendry
How do we get Nick Punto from the Twins? That would be dreamy. He could fill in at 3B, move to SS and move Theriot back to 2B when A-Ram comes back.
Re: Its on Hendry
I still think that with DeRosa on the club, there are 4-5 more wins in the bag
Woh... you think that DeRosa is worth 4-5 more wins (over Fontenot/Miles) in less than a half of a season?
Re: Its on Hendry
That's not what he said. He said we'd have 4-5 more wins in the bag. DeRosa's got 50 RBI's and has an .805 OPS with RISP and .909 with men on, so it's not far fetched at all to think we would have won that many more games if we had him. If you say 'if we had him and not Bradley', maybe not.
Re: Its on Hendry
Considering all the close games and extra innings we've seen I'd say 4-5 easily. Maybe more. Plus you wouldn't have guys playing out of position to try to cover 3B, DeRosa played a very passable 3B.
Of course someone will shit out a stat like "wins over fontenot per game" or some shit and prove me wrong on paper. After seeing a 20 HR hitter hit sub 250 with no power for two months and a ROY winner bat around 200, yall can shove your numbers you-know-where. I want ball players and athletes, not numbers... and DeRosa is a ball player.
Re: Its on Hendry
At this point The Fontenaught is probably a better third basemen than DeRosa. You have to wonder how much of his hitting problems can be attributed to the positional switch, though. Having DeRosa would have allowed him to stay at second, and if he hit with runners on like he has in Cleveland, it may have relieved pressure on some of the other guys, and they may have performed better.
Or DeRosa could have gotten beaned during game 3 of the season and have vertigo problems and we would be in the same or worse position as we are now. It's all just http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_What_If_issues anyway.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
My buddy's the sports director and anchor on WBBM 780 AM and he asked me to write a Cubs piece on how they can still win 90 games this year (looking more and more unlikely every day, I know). Thought you might like to check it out: http://wbbm-780.com/blog/. It's the headline right now on the top of the page—feel free to comment on the ideas.
Big series starts today: Go Cubs Go!
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Interesting ideas. Some possible problems with them, though, are that Lee has a full NTC, and Harden may be resistant to moving to the closer role with his FA coming up. Not sure that I am that high on Penny either, he seems a lot like Harden. It may be a better idea just to move Marshall back to the rotation and take what you would trade for Penny and get a solid lefty reliever.
The Cubs would have to go 56 and 27 the rest of the way to get to 90 wins. Not impossible but they need to start winning just about every series starting today.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Hasn't Harden historically taken about 7 hours or so to warm up sufficiently before a game? You'd have to get him up in the first inning or so to close.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
To win 90 games they will need to win 56 more games out of 93 remaining, or...
56-37 the rest of the season (.602 WPct%)
Currently the Cubs are 34-35 (.493 WPct%)
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
The Real Neal:
Even if we have 4-5 more wins in the bag, how satisfied are you with the team?
Let's consider 4 more wins... Current record would be:
38-31 (.551 WPct%)
and to win 90 they would need...
52-41 (.559 WPct%)
the rest of the season.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
I've been saying "Trade Lee!" for a couple of years, but he has started to turn me around--mostly by turning on inside pitches, like the bomb off Wood in Chicago and the one he hit to the warning track in left in Detroit yesterday. (It was hit so well that Soriano just stood there in awe and forgot where he was.)
With Soriano deep in a slump and Soto and Bradley still having problems, the Cubs can't spare righty bats and need both Lee and Fox in the lineup.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
TRN: You asked, "How satisfied would I be with 4 or 5
more wins?"
Well, the team would be right near the top of tthe Division w/out its best player.
The bullpen would may not have had to pitch so much with bigger leads.
So, maybe they aren't as dominant as the Dodgers, but things would be more hopeful to me than they are currently, where I am anticipating they lose 2/3, if not all 3 to the Sox this weekend.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6

Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Yeah, but can he hit?
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
Is he talking about how he can play short and center?
I thought he played third base pretty well the other day, but saw some mention of a botched play. Did he boot one?
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
every play I've seen him handle is pretty much routine, he hasn't destroyed a play yet though.
The "botched play" was a grounder to his left, he got to it, full reach and then fell down which made it look like an Edmonds dive on the infield and stumbled around like an oaf trying to get it out of his mitt and the runner was safe and the run scored. Poor footwork if anything...
No worse than Fontentot so far..can't believe anyone hasn't tried bunting on him yet.
Re: Game 69 Recap: Cubs 5, Tigers 6
I think most 3B make that play. Still, he is what he is, ugly defense yet the ball jumps off his bat. I'd start him a 3B anyways. It's a risk and a liability, but you just do it because you have these other douchebags getting high and/or under-performing.

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.
With that said in reverse order:
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.

If you had any doubts legalized gambling in Ohio and Pennsylvania is having a devastating effect on West Virginia casinos, consider the state Lottery Commission's revenue report for August.
This week the commission reported revenues decreased again during August. But for the relatively new Hollywood Casino in Charles Town, the month's numbers would be a train wreck.
Hollywood pumped $13.3 million into state coffers last month. Meanwhile, casinos in Wheeling, Chester, Cross Lanes and at The Greenbrier contributed just $4.2 million combined.
Many of the Charles Town casino's customers come from Virginia, which has no legalized casino or video slot machine gambling, and Maryland, which is just now getting into the "game."
But the Wheeling and Chester facilities, once the workhorses of legalized gambling in West Virginia, have faced competition from Pennsylvania and Ohio. That is bad enough, but there is worse to come: A new casino in Columbus, ironically enough also named Hollywood, is to open in early October.
While there seems to be little likelihood of legalized casinos in Virginia, Maryland is a different story. There, video slot machines already are permitted and voters are set to decide whether to allow full-scale table gambling. That could cut into West Virginia revenue from Charles Town.
Though it has become increasingly clear video and table gambling casinos are not going to provide anywhere near the revenue they have in the past, West Virginia state leaders seem to have no plan to deal with the massive budget hole that will result.
We have warned for several years that gambling revenue was not a safe bet in the long run. It certainly was a good run while it lasted - but a strategy for replacing some revenue from gambling needs to be developed. It is an issue state legislators should address soon.

, updated January 16, 2013 at 1:36 AM
The nation's capital can breathe easier during Monday's Inauguration festivities – Gino and Cora will be on duty.
The pair of K-9s from the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority Police Department are traveling with their handlers, Officers Robert L. Bove and David A. Capretto, to Washington today after they were chosen to augment an already mighty security force surrounding Monday's inaugural ceremonies for President Obama.
Trained as "experts" in explosives detection, Cora, a 6-year-old German shepherd, and Gino, a Belgian Malinois who's almost 5, will patrol Washington's Metro subway system along with their handlers over the next few days.
They will ride the trains, stand guard at Metro stations, and do what they do best – look fierce enough to scare away any would-be criminals or terrorists.
"The NFTA Police Department is extremely honored to have these K-9s and their partners represent the department at the Presidential Inauguration," Transit Police Chief George W. Gast said, explaining that his extensive K-9 force has just scored sky-high marks in evaluations performed by the federal Transit Security Administration.
"That's one of the reasons the Department of Homeland Security has chosen them to assist in the Presidential Inauguration."
During send-off ceremonies at NFTA Headquarters on Tuesday afternoon, Executive Director Kimberley A. Minkel presented her two crack police dogs 4 pounds each of Milk-Bone biscuits for the drive to Washington, dropping a few "appetizers" to both Cora and Gino as a hint that more such rewards could come.
Their task couldn't be more serious, as Washington bears down for the influx of hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Inauguration.
The NFTA K-9 teams are two of 12 brought in from other police agencies across the country, chosen especially for their ability to sniff out explosives.
Bove and Capretto boast almost half a century of transit police experience between them, much of that time as K-9 handlers. They have undergone extensive training at Homeland Security facilities at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, and have become familiar sights at Buffalo Niagara International Airport and on Metro Rail trains and at the stations.
After one NFTA K-9 team worked Inauguration detail in 2008, Bove and Capretto say they're honored to be dispatched to Washington for this year's ceremonies.
"I've had a pretty good career with the NFTA," Capretto said. "This is one more thing I can add to the list of adventures I've had with the Transit Authority."

A hearing is underway in the ethics case against Metro Councilwoman Barbara Shanklin.
She is accused of using her seat on the metro council to benefit herself and her family members and of misusing taxpayer money.
Shanklin's attorney has asked the commission to recuse itself from the case.
He claims another councilman told him the commission had already decided it would rule against Shanklin.
WLKY.com will continue to update this story as it develops.

In 1883, a railroad group interested in gold mines carved a route through the southern Oregon Rogue River Canyon, and the town of Medford took shape. Its rain-shadowed valley offers a Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers and mild winters. And many welcoming wine vineyards that grow purple, red, and white grapes you would also find in the Rhone region of southern France.
Take a short drive to the sapphire blue waters of 2,000-foot deep Crater Lake. Go rafting on the Rogue River. Experience the Elizabethan Theater at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival beneath a night sky, circled by green mountains thick with trees. Discover the forested canyon land and creeks of 93-acre Lithia Park. Or, stroll in Alba Park, named for Medford's sister city in Italy.
Savor wild salmon at Pomodori Bistro, considered the best place for Italian food in Rogue Valley. Walk in beautiful vineyards and sip crafted wines at the Weisinger Family winery just south of Ashland. Relax in the Rising Sun Farms wine tasting room on a 28-acre farm overlooking the Siskiyou Mountains - try their fresh pesto sauces. Historic Willow-Witt is a 440-acre sustainable farming practices ranch, where you can go hiking with pack goats.

The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian
Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission
is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.
Doing The Most Good
"Doing The Most Good." In these four words, our mission – to feed, to clothe, to comfort, to care. To rebuild broken homes and broken lives. By walking with the addicted, we can lead them to recovery. In fighting hunger and poverty, we can feed and nurture the spirit. And, in living and sharing the Christian Gospel by meeting tangible needs, we give the world a lasting display of the love behind our beliefs.
