Juan Cruz signs minor league contract with Phillies
Jan 16, 2013, 12:16 PM EDT
Juan Cruz has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Phillies, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.
Last offseason Cruz signed with the Pirates on a minor-league contract and was released in August despite posting a 2.78 ERA in 36 innings at age 33. His strikeout-to-walk ratio was much less impressive at 33-to-19, but he's had an ERA below 4.00 in five of the past six seasons and could be a useful middle reliever in Philadelphia.
Cruz's deal includes an invitation to spring training. Last year he refused to pitch in the minors, so it'll be interesting to see what happens if he doesn't win an Opening Day gig.

Used your wonderful stock here
Thank you so much!!
Southern modernizationBlack comedy market economy, banana peel political humour, cards with the cartels, the solution free room service and credit the union. Bolivar twist, ding dong dollar under control, valley of the coin desert with no value. Gangsta paradise, the victims are the people. Big mac and cold conflict interference a part of it all. In little Mexico you'd need a high horse to jump the great border wall that boasts its peak. IIViracocha melts waters unlike those it rose from, making waves of out of metal oceans to overtake the current south, re-steel, re-take, tech-mechs the entire south into neo-Machu Picchu, cyberpunk music moulding, reshaping old society into an new age, iron dynasty, fresh coat for an old, ancient look. The coattails of Quetzalcoatl if he were a modern man pull together the merge of future and long passed past..techno temples and the like.

How about a celebration of coke and rum instead of bombs bursting in air?
How about a celebration of coke and rum instead of bombs bursting in air?
Last edited by jenny12; 03-08-2013 at 07:25 AM.
Um, no thank you.
I realize our national anthem isn't easy to sing, but I love, love, love the power and glory behind our national anthem and absolutely do not want it changed. (I also realize the article is totally tongue-in-cheek, but still. I really love our national anthem.)
And I was my High School's national anthem girl for 3 years, and I miss it. There's nothing quite like singing it (correctly) for a crowd.
I had quite a "wait, WHAT?" moment when I was watching The Dark Knight Rises with English subtitles, and realised that there was a line about bombs and stuff in the American anthem. Then I thought "Well that explains a few things".
From Wikapedia -
"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States of America. The lyrics come from "Defence of Fort McHenry",[1] a poem written in 1814 by the 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet, Francis Scott Key, after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy ships in Chesapeake Bay during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812.The Defence of Fort McHenry
("The Star-Spangled Banner")
by Francis Scott Key (1779-1843)
O! say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Glenn Close used to sing the Anthem at Mets games all the time. I wonder if there's a record for the most times performing it in public?
I love our Anthem. The words really reflect the turmoil and overwhelming joy of the little colony that could.
Growing up in NorCal, we never sang the anthem. I grew up singing the first verse of America the Beautiful every morning with the pledge. The anthem was only played at the ball games. I was surprised when in 5th grade and a move to another state that we had to stand for the anthem. Not sing - just stand. It seemed really weird to stand in silence while music came over the speakers.
I am visual so even as an adult passing a farm I think of amber waves of grain and mountains in the distance are purple mountains majesties.
I HATE our Anthem. Even the most accomplished singers have difficulty hitting those notes. It's why most people don't even try singing it, while those who do overdo it ("...and the rockets REEEEEEEED GLAAAAAAAAAAARE (applause, applause), the bombs bursting INNNNNNNN AIRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (more applause, applause)...").
It always amuses me that the melody for my national anthem was taken from an old British drinking song. Just pick a popular tune and change the lyrics. No one will forget it!
I think he US anthem is hard to sing, and at skate America is usually sounds atrocious when some one less than capable sings it... I also notice most people don't sing along ( unlike the Danish anthem, which is both pretty and possible to sing decently even while drunk... ) .
Th text is nice, maybe it needs an updated melody?
I always loved This Land is My Land... And think of it as a alternate anthem
If our National Anthem can't be Ignition , then I'd rather it be America the Beautiful. I've always thought the Star-Spangled Banner was too militaristic.
And for reasons that should be blindingly obvious, "My Country 'Tis of Thee" is RIGHT OUT. Though I can sing the "real" lyrics to that one.
It's not like the majority of people can sing ANYTHING well. If you CAN sing, there is a key for you in with "The Star-Spangled Banner" shouldn't be hard.
Is this for real? "Well over 100,000 people in America"?! In a country of what? An estimated 315,452,000 according to wikipedia. Even Wyoming, the least populated state has a population of over 560,000, so 100,000 Americans wouldn't even be a fifth of the least populated state. That's a very strong argument there.
On a more serious note, I find it kind of wrong to change a country's national anthem as I feel it is part of the country and how it defines itself. It's as if you change the national flag or the language spoken. JMO
It is clearly a joke petition.
So is this "Ignition" song a patriotic thing? I've never heard of it? And is R.Kelly no longer a disgrace?
I always sing "In all of us command" though.
And of course "our home and native land" has some serious issues re: correctness too!
BTW, tho I might object to some of the imagery in the US national anthem, what I like about it most is its passion. And it's uniqueness. So many national anthems -- including O Canada -- are generic, bland, and unmemorable. That definitely cannot be said of "The Star-Spangled Banner!"
Pete Seeger, who was a very good friend to Woody Guthrie, always says that he didn't think initially that that was one of Woody's better songs. "Shows you how wrong a fellow can be," he said in an interview with Bill Moyers for his 75th birthday. He's actually giving a concert in my area in 2 months. Turning 94 this year, and still getting out there to perform.
I HATE when people like Christina Aguilera sing the national anthem. They make the song too much about "them" and hitting 10 different notes for the word "free" and screaming.
I don't have a link but I read that the first night that Broadway reopened after going dark on 9/11 Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane and the cast of "The Producers" took their final bows then threw the house lights up and sang "God Bless America" with the audience. I don't think we need a new national anthem. It's just that I like singing GBA better.
We don't need a new national anthem. I just want the singers to stop butchering it to show off how great their singing is. I love our national anthem.

Been running a Pro-ject Debut III, stock Ortofon cart with an OM-10 stylus & a Cambridge 640P phono pre. Something's got to change because I've gotten to the point where I'm not spinning vinyl at all. The question is, cart upgrade, or entirely new rig? At this point I've amassed about a 100 LPs most of which is 70's & 80's rock/pop consisting of a couple dozen LPs left from my teenage years & used recordings I've picked up since I got back into records 2 years ago or so. My main complaint, horrible inner grove distortion on a large percentage of my collection. The cart has been aligned by me using a mirrored protractor & is spot on as far as I can tell. I will say that on the handful of recordings that sound truly excellent all the way through, I'm mostly happy with the sound. It's not blowing me away, but I could live with it given the limited use the TT was getting before I got fed up with the IGD.
So, where to go from here? Upgrade the cart? Been thinking of trying the Audio Technica AT440mla. Start over with a new rig? Not really interested in used or vintage. Would rather jump full in & go with something in the 1-2K range if I go down that path. Traveler? Scout? Music Hall mmf7.1? Something else?

Touch-screen graphics and other features have been improved, but the system still has problems.
MyFord Touch has become a lightning rod for those concerned with distracted driving and an easy target for piling on by car pundits -- and with good reason. Ford's pioneering in-dash infotainment system can indeed be distracting and buggy.
Consumer Reports criticized MyFord Touch in the Edge, calling it "a complicated distraction." Then J.D. Power & Associates delivered another serious blow to the system when it cited customer complaints about MyFord Touch as the main reason the Blue Oval dropped from fifth place to 23rd in its Initial Quality Study. Adding a paradoxical twist is that the initial failure of MyFord Touch followed the surprising success of Ford's Sync system.
To fix the situation, Ford mailed out free system updates to owners earlier this month. It included a USB flash drive that owners could plug into the vehicle's USB port to update the system's software, instructions for performing the fix and an updated user guide. If owners don't want to hassle with performing the software upgrade themselves, they can have a Ford or Lincoln dealer do it for them, for free.
Ford promises that the upgrade will deliver simplified graphics, bolder text, faster touch-screen response and improved voice controls and phone compatibility. At a press event last week to launch the 2013 Flex and Taurus, I got a chance to test those claims firsthand using the latest version of MyFord Touch. Here's what I found:
Advanced safety systems save lives, but 'will thrash entire industries built on the fact that you crack up your car.'
Driver assistance systems such as forward-collision prevention that take over steering and braking have been proven to save lives and reduce injuries. But as the technology spreads to more cars and prevents more types of accidents, it also has the potential to save car owners money from collision repairs — and put a major dent in the revenue of auto body shops and other businesses that profit from crashes.
That's the conclusion of a recent blog post by David P. Carlisle, chairman of the consulting and research firm Carlisle & Company, after analyzing trends and data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Carlisle analysis took into account four driver assist systems — forward collision warning or prevention, lane departure warning or prevention, blind spot warning and adaptive headlights — and their potential to prevent accidents.
Using IIHS data and the company's own "mathematical modeling," Carlisle deduced that 30 percent of all collision repairs could be avoided once the systems become available in all cars. Of course, that could take years. But Carlisle noted that the IIHS's companion research agency, the Highway Loss Data Institute, predicts that approximately 20 percent of all registered vehicles will have forward collision warning systems by 2020. This alone could prevent more than 3 million car crashes — and have a major financial impact on the collision repair industry.
Chevy muscle sedan also adds in-car tech, keeps 415-hp V8.
Chevy's only rear-wheel drive four door sedan, the SS, will be receiving several upgrades for the 2015 model year to compete with the likes of the Dodge Charger and…well, pretty much just the Dodge Charger.
Performance enhancements include the addition of Magnetic Ride control as a standard feature, as well as rear Brembo brakes to complement the already standard front Brembos. Optional for 2015 is a six-speed manual transmission that should have driving enthusiasts (us included) excited. Also optional for the coming year will be OnStar's 4G LTE connectivity with a built in Wi-Fi hot spot so you can upload your burnout videos to Facebook straight from your car.
Power will still be dished out from Chevy's 6.2-liter LS3 V8, making 415 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. Automatic versions of the SS accelerate to 60 within 5 seconds, and Chevrolet claims that the more aggressive axle ratio (3.70) used with manual transmission models will make for even quicker times.
This rare BMW was the King's personal ride while serving in the Army between 1958 and 1960.
BMW Classic, the automaker's official restoration arm, is bringing the King's 507 roadster back to showroom quality. The red roadster, one of just 254 built between 1955 and 1959, was actually Presley's second 507, or by some accounts, the same car painted red after adoring women wrote their names and numbers all over the original white body in lipstick.
In either case, Presley was stationed in Germany in the late 1950s as a private in the U.S. Army, but aside from operating a tank and standing guard (where he was again mobbed by hundreds of German fans), the King of Rock 'n' Roll was no ordinary GI. In between his many overseas girlfriends and ability to skirt Army rules as a celebrity, Presley bought one of the most expensive cars at that time. He spotted the 507 in a local dealer after the Porsche 550 Spyder, the other great sports car in which heartthrob actor James Dean famously died, wasn't available.
Recently acquired James Hull collection features more than 130 Jaguars, which the automaker will use for marketing and preservation.
The renowned car collection of British entrepreneur James Hull is a living history of British motoring. Of the 543 vehicles in the Hull collection, a majority of them are British classics, which made it the largest privately-owned British car collection in the world, including more than 130 Jaguar models alone. It seems fitting, then, that Hull would sell his collection to Jaguar Land Rover.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) recently announced the purchase of Hull's vast collection, which will fall under the purview of its new Special Vehicle Operations division. JLR Special Operations — most recently in the news for the announcement of its first production model, a road-going version of Jaguar's Project 7 concept — wasn't merely formed to pump out limited-edition, high-performance versions of JLR vehicles. Part of the Special Vehicle Operations mission will be maintaining and restoring classic models. Having the Hull collection in-house immediately makes it a leader in the preservation of British motoring history.
Hull, a dentist who has amassed great British cars from every decade since 1930, was contemplative in remarks about the sale. While the final price was not disclosed, Hull had first offered his collection in May for £100 million ($169 million).
Faulty transmission shift cables could cause 2011-14 models to roll away or stay stuck in park.
The 2011-2014 Sonata has a transmission shift cable that can separate from the gear selector and may cause the actual gear to be different from the gear selected by the driver. For example, the vehicle may not be in park and could roll away -- even if the gear selector is in the park position. Also, the car may not be able to restart if the car shuts down in a drive gear and cannot be shifted out of park, despite the gear selector being able to move.
Screen uses smartphone-like swiping and other finger-based gesture controls.
If you've used a smartphone or tablet, you've probably also used multi-touch gesture controls to, say, decrease the scale of a navigation map by pinching the screen or moving the map by swiping it with a finger. It's a quick, easy and intuitive interface, and one that's increasingly coming to cars.
Cadillac was the first car brand to use multi-touch control with its CUE system in the XTS, and Tesla also included it as part of the huge in-dash display in the Model S. Now Subaru has added it to the all-new 2015 Legacy and Outback with the navigation option on its seven-inch display.
I tested the multi-touch interface in a 2015 Outback 2.5i Limited equipped with the "Moonroof Package + Keyless Access & Push-Button Start + Navigation System + EyeSight" (the actual name of the option) that costs $2,990. The package also includes a six-speaker audio system, the Starlink smartphone-based infotainment system, SiriusXM satellite radio, USB port/iPod control, and Bluetooth for phone and audio. Plus, it brings the full suite of EyeSight driver assistance systems: adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking and lane-departure warning.
I also consider the multi-touchscreen a driver assist of sorts.
Study finds Washington, D.C., has lowest fatality rate, northern Plains states and the South the highest.
While roadway fatalities in the U.S. have dropped 22.7 percent since 2005, UMTRI research professor Michael Sivak found a wide disparity in traffic fatality rates for individual states and the District of Columbia.
Sivak used two sets of data in his analysis: the number of road deaths by distance driven and the number relative to state population. Using these two factors, he looked at statistics for 2005 (the most recent peak) and 2012 (the most recent year for which data was available).
He then cross-referenced these statistics and concluded that if you drive in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., you have the lowest chance of dying in a traffic accident than any other state, while motorists in North Dakota, South Carolina and West Virginia have the highest chance of becoming a road fatality statistic.
Hellcat VIN0001's sale to benefit Las Vegas charity.
To the surprise of exactly no one, the numero uno production Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat built will head straight to the auction block at Barrett-Jackson -- a precedent set by the first C7 Chevrolet Corvette, the first Camaro Z/28 and the first 2015 Ford Mustang in the vehicular equivalent of camping out for three days for a "Star Wars" movie and then running through the movie theater yelling "first!"
Already, Barrett-Jackson is calling the Hellcat "iconic." Hellcat VIN0001 has an eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic with black Laguna leather seats. It features a special shade of red, carried over from the Dodge Viper -- the first of which, come to think of it, also went to Barrett-Jackson.
- Photos: 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
- Video: Sights & sounds of the 707-hp Challenger SRT Hellcat
And like the first Viper, the House That Craig Built is selling the Hellcat to benefit charity: This time, 100 percent of the price will go to Opportunity Village, which helps people in the Las Vegas area who have intellectual disabilities. Founded in 1954, the charity operates three centers and a thrift shop around the Vegas area.
