Battle of the Bands
The Paradise Valley Community College Battle of the Bands encourages aspiring high school and college aged musicians to work on their craft and to continue to make original music. As sponsor of the event, the Commercial Music Program at Paradise Valley Community College supports these goals by providing an opportunity to the participating bands to perform live in a number of venues, to be critiqued by professional musicians, and for select groups to receive free recording time in the school's recording facilities. The project culminates in the production of a full-length CD.
In turn, the project provides a unique opportunity for the students taking courses in the Commercial Music Program by allowing them to participate at all levels in the development and production of the live concerts and CD. Students taking live sound classes work on the sound reinforcement needs for shows in two venues. Students taking studio recording classes engineer, edit, and assist in the mixing of the recording sessions. Lastly, students in the music business program work on elements of promotion, copyright, and concert production.
Now in its eleventh year, the project is an important tool used to support the creation of original music and to train the next generation of music business professionals.
Battle of the Bands @ PVCC 2013-2014
The Music Department and the Commercial Music Program are pleased to announce the 12th edition of this exciting project. Area bands of all genres that write original music are encouraged to apply.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Tyler Thornburg moving to middle relief
With Alfredo Figaro and Donovan Hand sent down to Class AAA Nashville within two days of each other, the Brewers found themselves a bit short in middle relievers. With that in mind, manager Ron Roenicke said rookie right-hander Tyler Thornburg would be reassigned that role.
Filling in for injured starters, the 24-year-old Thornburg turned in three fine outings, posting a 0.50 ERA (one earned run in 18 innings). But with Yovani Gallardo coming off the DL to start Saturday against Cincinnati, somebody had to come out of the rotation and the Brewers chose Thornburg.
Tom Gorzelanny and Marco Estrada, both of whom have started and relieved during their careers, will remain in the rotation for now. With a last-place team needing to plan for the future, Roenicke was asked what the benefit was to stick with veterans over a younger prospect.
"Estrada, we need to see," said Roenicke. "We liked him last year and for whatever reasons, things changed this year (before Estrada went on the DL with a hamstring injury). So, we really don't know what we have in Estrada.
"That's why I think it's important this last part (of the season) to see if we have the pitcher we had last year that we really liked, or what do we have this year?
"When you talk about Thornburg, yeah I think it's important to see him but whether he ends up as a starter because we need a starter or he ends up in the bullpen – we've liked him out of the bullpen – I know he has started and had some nice games for us but I don't think you can forget about what he did in Triple-A (0-9, 5.79 ERA in 15 starts). Three or four starts, it's hard to tell on somebody."
"Gorzelanny, if you look at his history and starts, you may say the numbers are not that great (37-45 in 119 starts, including this season) but we're seeing a better pitcher (2-3, 3.40 in eight starts this year) than what those numbers were.
"I don't know if he's matured or just got better command. I don't know what the case is. I know he didn't throw well yesterday (five runs in 4 2/3 innings Friday vs. Cincinnati). But before that he was throwing the ball well enough that we need to see him. If he's going to be part of that rotation next year, we need to see him.
"They may end up (as swing men again) but that's what we need to see. I know we came into the season with Estrada as our No. 2 pitcher this year but that was because we had all the young guys. But if Estrada pitches the way he did last year (3.64 ERA in 29 games, including 23 starts) and he's whatever you want to call him, your No. 4 or 5 guy, he's pretty good. We can win with a guy like that."
Roenicke said right-hander Johnny Hellweg, who struggled badly (0-3, 10.97) in a three-game audition in July, would be back at some point and the Brewers probably would go to a six-man rotation.
"We want to see Hellweg," said Roenicke. "He's a guy I think has a high-end future. If he can figure it out up here, he's a guy who can be good a long time.
"(General manager) Doug (Melvin) needs to know who he thinks is going to be in that rotation before we go into the off-season, to figure out whether we need to make some deals and get some people."

Hellweg was really wild when up with the Brewers. His throws to first were even high or off the mark by alot. He either was very nervous or jut not ready for MLB asnd needed more AAA seasoning.
Long relief is a good spot for Thornburg for now. With Estrada being arby eligible they need to know if they are going to offer him arby or let him go. Gorzolanny is the only lefty in the rotation, but I think he goes back to the pen in 2014. Hellweg needs to be able to throw strikes early in the count. He walks way to many (82 in 127 IPs this year) which puts him in constant trouble. His stride is inconsistant and his arm slot changes almost every pitch. In other words the lower level coaching has not been able to teach him proper mechanics. They also need to teach him a changeup! When he can't throw the breaking ball for strikes he can go with a changeup to compliment that big (95-99) fastball.
Good move by RR. Like crew said Estrada is arbitration eligible and the Brewers need to see if he is a viable option for the #5 spot next year. Thornburg has done very well as the long man in the bullpen. RR is right, you can't ignore what he did in AAA this year, but he has thrived in the majors. I have forever been a huge advocate of teaching every Brewer pticher how to throw a change-up. Guys like Peralta & Hellweg need a third pitch that is easy to throw. Imagine if Axford had something else he could command when he can't get the big curve over for strikes. A change up is devastating when you throw as hard as Peralta and Hellweg. If thrown correctly the change moves down and away from a lefty giving them an out pitch against tough lefties.

Dr Robert Spitzer apologises to gays for 'fatally flawed' study published in 2001 which was seized upon by conservative groups
ÂPsychiatrist who championed 'gay cure' admits he was wrong
"Dr Robert Spitzer apologises for 'fatally flawed' study, published in 2001, which claimed gay people could be 'cured' if properly motivated
In the history of psychiatry I don't know that I've ever seen a scientist write a letter saying that the data were all there but were totally misinterpreted. Who admitted that and who apologised to his readers. That's something, don't you think?' Spitzer told the newspaper.
Gay rights group Truth Wins Out published the full text of the letter on its website and hailed the moment as a major step forward. 'Spitzer's apology to the victims of 'pray away the gay' therapy … marks a watershed moment in the fight against the 'ex-gay' myth,' the group said "
Paul Harris in New York
- guardian.co.uk, 19 May 2012Â
The survey, published in 2001, looked at "reparative therapy" and was hailed by religious and social conservatives in America as proof that gay people could successfully become straight if they were motivated to do so.
But Dr Robert Spitzer has now apologised in the same academic journal that published his original study, calling it "fatally flawed". "I believe I owe the gay community an apology," his letter said. "I also apologise to any gay person who wasted time and energy undergoing some form of reparative therapy because they believed that I had proven that reparative therapy works."
Spitzer's letter, which was leaked online before its publication in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour, is sure to cause delight among gay civil rights groups and stir up anger among social conservatives, who have used the study to combat the acceptance of homosexuality as a normal part of human society.
Reparative therapy is popular among Christian conservative groups, which run clinics and therapy sessions at which people try to become heterosexual through counselling. Gay rights activists condemn such practices as motivated by religious faith, not science, and call them "pray away the gay" groups.... >>>>>

The state's Energy Facilities Siting Board has granted final approvals for Footprint Power's proposed natural gas power plant at the site of Salem Harbor Station.
The current coal- and oil-fired plant will shut down May 31. The new plant is expected to be built and operational by June 2016.
In its decision, the Siting Board accepted a settlement agreement between Footprint Power and the Conservation Law Foundation, which had sued to block the new plant. The settlement requires Footprint to reduce or offset its annual greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 80 percent by 2049.

Another Ridiculous Lie From Liberal Media – Distorting Romney's "WAWAs" Hoagie Speech
By Sancho Panza On June 18, 2012 · 281 Comments
Another example of how ridiculous the media is in their uncompromising struggle to distort the truth in order to make sure Obama wins and Conservatives lose.
Today it's being widely reported that Romney had a moment were he was amazed at the existence of WAWAs, a convenience/gas store, and the electronic touchtone ordering of sandwiches. They have spun this to make it seem like he's out of touch – BUT THE VIDEO IS EDITED DECEPTIVELY:
In actuality, Mitt was contrasting the ridiculous over-regulation of the public sector, with the efficiency of the private sector, and used the electronic ordering system at WAWAs as an example – here's the FULL video from a Ron Paulestinian [thanks StarkStone!] in the crowd:
His speech begins at about 40 seconds in:
"By the way, where do you get your hoagies here, do you get them at WAWAs?… Well I want to a place today called WAWAs, have you ever been to WAWAs? I know some people haven't…. We went to WAWAs and it was instructive to me, because I saw the difference between the private sector and the governmental sector. People who work in government are good people and I respect what they do, but you see, the challenge with government is that it doesn't have competition."
"So we find ways to do things better or we lose jobs to each other."
He goes into a story about how an optometrist has to send in 33 pages of pages. The Atlantic described it as:
Romney on the stump, at a historic iron furnace in Cornwall, near Lebanon, using the hoagie-ordering experience at the WaWa as a parable for what's right and wrong in America. (Wrong: a doctor told him that he had to fill out a 33-page change-of-address form, several times, to get the post office to send his mail — including reimbursement checks — to his new location. That is what happens with government-run organizations where you have "no competition." Right: at WaWa, great hoagies. Also, very efficient touch-pad ordering system. This is what you get with competition.)
Mitt continues in the video at about 2:45:
"And then I was at a WAWAs and ordered a sandwich… you have a touchtone keypad, and you touch that, touch this, go pay the cashier, there's your sandwich. It's amazing!"
This is where the media cut the video to distort the truth. GOTCHA, you slimy little maggots!!
"People in the private sector have learned to compete and it's time to bring some competition to the Federal Government and to get it smaller, and have them respond to the customers, which are YOU!!"
Will they correct this? NO. Doesn't fit into their plan to destroy any Republican running for office.

This is the big deal?? I agree, it was deceptive, no doubt about it… But you guys are making this huge deal about Romney being made to look like he was out of touch because he had never ordered a hoagie from a touchscreen before lol (by the way, wh0 the heck has?? I havent). Meanwhile, he is putting out commercials with Obama supposedly saying "If we keep talking about the economy, we will lose", I wonder how much outrage was boiling over on these sites at that? What a joke, Im sorry, this is your proof that you use to try to keep believing your "conservatives r good, liberals and media baaaad" mantra? Try harder folks, try harder…

It's not about Romney. It's about deceptive editing by people who claim to report the truth. That is their job. Unfortunately, there is a 'narrative'. Smart, cool Democrat vs Out of Touch Republican. There shouldn't be any kind of narrative.
Sometimes it's the Villains vs. Victims (Whites and men against women and minorities) Evil Capitalism vs Pristine Environment.
It's isn't ever about 'news'. Reality has nothing to do with the news business, any more than truth.
What's happening, what makes this story important is that we have seen the man behind the curtain, and they would rather we not pay attention to that wizard.
Fair enough. Thank you for the polite response by the way. However, do you have an issue with Fox News doing the same (but reversed, of course) on an almost daily basis? We have entire comedy shows that are able to sustain themselves by poking fun at the mistakes and inaccuracies of Fox News. I'll see your Evil Capitalism vs. Pristine Environment and raise you Evil Government and lazy blacks on welfare vs. Innocent Victimized Small Town (usually white) America. That is the narrative they feed their watchers day in and out, not only based on the stories they choose to bring to the forefront, but the fact they rarely fact check them and rarely spend any time admitting their mistake.
And you can say its not about Romney all you want, in response to the fact that Romney did exactly the same selective editing. But what you are telling me is that a presidential candidate, who may be soon holding the highest office in the country, is being held to lower standards by you than the media. Hey, Romney did it, no big deal, but the media does it, no way! You are focusing on the favorite rightwing narrative of "evil liberal media". I just wish I saw the same outrage that I see here at this story, every time Fox News or Romney do the same thing…
Really? You have to be kidding. Watch Jon Stewart or Colbert, they have an instance almost daily of this. That is how they make their living almost, poking fun at fox news and it's falsehoods. One in particular that makes me laugh is when they made a huge deal on fox and friends about the fact the LAPD was using some kind of jet packs, wasting taxpayer money on them! Needless to say, it was utter bull. I think they did later correct it, but there are many more that have gone uncorrected…

The problem I have with FOX is that it is silly and shallow. I don't take anything on FOX seriously, either. The fake outrage of Hannity, the self-absorption of Bill O'Really. It's not a serious news network. I don't watch television news anymore, and haven't for many years.

East Limestone leads West Limestone 31-24 at halftime of the girls semifinal of the Limestone County Tournament
East led 9-0 before West Limestone got on board nearly three minutes into the game. After the Indians took a 14-3 lead, Rainey Tyler led West back with some sharp shooting from the 3-point line.
Tyler's pair of threes pulled West within one possession, but that was as close as they would come in the first half as East Limestone took a 31-24 lead into the break.
Brennance Crabtree hit a three just before the buzzer to give East a seven point halfitme lead.
The winner will play Tanner Saturday at 6 p.m. for the 2014 Limestone County Championship.
West Limestone won the first meeting this season 40-31. The teams will play Tuesday, Jan. 28 at West Limestone in another regular season matchup.

Max Payne 3 delayed
Details from an investor conference call with Take-Two indicate that Max Payne 3 will see another delay.
The moodiest cop in video games will now not make his return until April 2011 at the very earliest.
Hopefully this will give Rockstar Vancouver more time to polish off the title. Given how well this worked out with Red Dead Redemption most fans will not mind the wait.
The conference call also confirmed the news that Rockstar will not be making an appearance at this year's E3.
Thanks CVG.

10 Jul - And here is the latest update from Rowan Gormley of Naked Wines on the progress of this innovative way of selling wine. It would seem that customers prefer limits to their power:
We are making some changes following customer feedback.
The biggest change is that customers want us to curate the offers – they wanted us to do the selection and they wanted a fixed price.
The other elements remain the same:
- They set the price
- Anyone can pitch
- We take 10%
It's been...interesting.
We found some corkers. The winner was an Argentine winery called Cavas 23 which got loads of votes, and sold out almost 200 cases immediately.
The Decanter World Wine Award medal winners looking for UK representation were less successful. I suspect this is because of the difference between what the wine trade see as quality and what consumers see as quality.
Half of the suppliers we spoke to said it was 'too good to be true' - and the other half found a million reasons to wait and see! I think we have a big education job to do.
Sales have been great - we've had over £100,000 worth of bids and we will know how that translates into sales when bids close.
The mechanism seems (but it's early days) to be working well, in that
a. Winemakers are adjusting their pricing to reflect demand
b. Customers are bringing in their friends.

In Air Conflicts: Secret Wars players can relive the most famous battles of the First and Second World War right up close. The game provides plenty of variety, as players can fly 16 meticulously detailed and accurate aircraft in nearly 50 exciting missions in the seven campaigns. The mission tasks are diverse and range from air space clearance operations to the bombardment of targets on the ground, attacks on enemy convoys and reconnaissance, escort and patrol flights. After each successful mission players can upgrade their skills to enable them to control their aircraft more expertly, make their aircraft more robust and select better co-pilots. There are two control modes for the combat aircraft: the controls are simplified in arcade mode and simulation mode offers a realistic control system that is true to the original. Besides the solo campaigns, Air Conflicts: Secret Wars can also offer several multiplayer modes for up to eight players that can be played on a local network and over the Internet.

Witham: Driver's life endangered by rock throwing
10:00am Wednesday 28th November 2012 in News
A driver's life was endangered when rocks were thrown at his van near a bridge.
Police believe two teenagers are responsible for the crime and have condemned the "mindless stupidity" of the act.
The driver, a man in his forties from Clacton, escaped injury, but his van's headlight was smashed, causing £130 of damage.
The blue Volkwagen Transporter van was travelling along Highfields Road, Witham, at 3.15pm on Thursday.
Chief Inspector Nick Lee, Braintree district commander, said: "We have had incidents in the past on the A12 but there is nothing to suggest this is connected.
"This is mindless stupidity and it puts people's lives in danger."

"Smart Lists", not for your Smartest FB Friends…
Facebook and I have a love-hate relationship.
Sometimes I love seeing what my friends are up to, or discovering a great local deal or event. Then my mom finds an album from college and asks "what's Edward 40 Hands?" – and I'm over FB again.
The newly-revamped Friends Lists should help me maintain my love for the social media powerhouse. According to Mark Zuckerburg, only 5% of users currently take advantage of the Friends List feature – not surprising, since I've only ever met 1 person who uses it (*cough* Kevin Planovsky *cough*).
The news Friends Lists incorporate something called "Smart Lists," making the feature more user-friendly by allowing you to automatically create lists based on workplace, location, etc. Manually created lists include "Close Friends" and "Acquaintances," which usefully influences your Newsfeed (seeing "Close Friends" more and "Acquaintances" less). You can also target updates to a specific list – so mom won't see those embarrassing photos.
Check it out! I know I will… I'm no dummy…
See Mashable for a more detailed explanation of the new features and stay tuned for an official update from the rest of the Vert team on today's F8 insanity!

I have heard nothing but complaints about the new Facebook changes. I think it will take time for people to warm up to the changes. *remembers the hatred for the new feed."
I am a Facebook developer and have played around with the new features including the new profile "Timeline" layout and I am loving it. Plus, these changes are going to allow brands and companies to interact with their customers on a whole new level.

Almost immediately, Lauren finds herself drawn to this girl who lived and died four centuries ago. As the fervor around the witch accusations increases, Mercy becomes trapped in the worldview of the day, unable to fight the overwhelming influence of snap judgments and superstition, and Lauren realizes that the secrets of Mercy's story extend beyond the pages of her diary, living on in the mysterious, embittered Abigail.
The strength of her affinity with Mercy forces Lauren to take a startling new look at her own life, including her relationships with Abigail, her college roommate, and a young man named Raul. But on the way to the truth, will Lauren find herself playing the helpless defendant or the misguided judge? Can she break free from her own perceptions and see who she really is?

Zaxby's Warns Customers of Potential Fraud
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - A Georgia-based restaurant firm says suspicious computer files have been found at some of its locations, prompting it to warn customers about the potential for fraud.
Zaxby's Franchising Inc. said in a statement that the suspicious files may have resulted in unauthorized access to credit and debit card information at more than 100 stores.
The Athens-based firm says the affected stores are in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Virginia.
Company officials say the issue involves malware files, which could have been used to export guest names and credit and debit card numbers.
The company says it notified law enforcement of the potential criminal activity.
Zaxby's says a forensic investigation hasn't determined whether credit or debit card data left the processing systems of any stores.

Galloway Township will receive over $67,000 in clean communities grants for 2012, Gov. Chris Christie announced on Monday, April 30.
The exact amount Galloway will receive is $67,172.12, and as a whole, Atlantic County will receive $97,124.70, the Christie Administration announced. It's part of $16 million in grants distributed throughout the entire state to help municipalities and counties in litter cleanup efforts.
Of that total, $13.86 million were awarded to 559 municipalities, and an additional $1.73 million was awarded to the 21 counties, the state said. Seven municipalities have fewer than 200 housing units, and are thus ineligible for the grants, the state said. Number of housing units and miles of municipality-owned roads determine disbursements to municipalities, the state said. Distribution to counties are determined by the number of miles of roads each county owns, the state said.
"Cleaning up litter protects our natural resources, improves our quality of life and builds a strong sense of pride in our communities," New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Commissioner Bob Martin said. "With these grants, our municipalities and counties will be able to carry out important programs that remove litter and graffiti from our neighborhoods and highways, making our communities better places to live and work."
"This grant program is a perfect example of state, local and nonprofit partnerships working together to maximize the use of our resources to address environmental issues," said Jane Kozinski, Assistant Commissioner for Environmental Management. "Equally important, schools, community groups, local governments and local businesses participate in the cleanups funded by these grants, boosting community spirit and civic pride."
The nonprofit Clean Communities Council oversees the reporting requirements of the program, according to state law. The grants are funded by a legislated user-fee on manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors that produce litter-generating products, according to the state.
"Clean Communities funding is a real blessing for municipalities and counties in New Jersey," Clean Communities Council Executive Director Sandy Huber said. "This money offsets strained budgets by providing funding for volunteer cleanups, purchase of equipment related to cleanup and storm drain activities, enforcement of litter laws, and education in the schools. Clean Communities has a 20-year legacy in New Jersey as the only fully funded, statewide anti-litter program. We are grateful to Governor Chris Christie for his ongoing efforts to keep New Jersey's communities clean."

10 things that could happen to the Yanks in 2008By
Over at his blog today, Steve recalls a Ken Rosenthal radio interview from this morning where he says that the Blue Jays could to finish above the Yankees in 2008. This, before even pitchers and catchers have reported. So Ben and I got to thinking: There are tons of things that could happen to the Yanks in 2008. Here's our list of 10 things that could happen to the Yanks in '08.
- Brian Cashman develops the ability to foretell the future. The Yankees never lose again.
- Oil is discovered under new Yankee Stadium. Hal and Hank pack up their trucks and move to Beverly Hills.
- Derek Jeter volunteers to move to first base, "for the good of the team."
- The truth of why the Yankees never bean David Ortiz is revealed. After Joba Chamberlain beans him in the seventh inning of a tie game, Ortiz reveals his true form, Godzilla, and devours the City of New York.
- In a change of heart, George says, "Ah, screw this," and orders new Yankee Stadium to be torn down, mid-construction.
- Hank Steinbrenner contracts laryngitis, causing Kat O'Brien to lose her job.
- Josh Beckett's arm falls off on April 1st. Marc Melancon, joining the Yankees in May, infects the entire clubhouse with a Staph infection. Devil Rays win the AL East.
- Johan Santana goes 34-0 with a 1.09 ERA.
- Melky hits .280/.354/.406, the exact same line put up by Bernie Williams in his age 23 season.
- George Mitchell uncovers evidence of rampant steroid abuse in clubhouses around the league. "I thought this incident was limited to New York," he says. "We'll need another $4 million for a thorough investigation. Except for Boston. I can vouch for them."

Chicken Little is getting a lot of press today: guest blogger on LoHud, linked here and at Primer.
i'm sure his next entry will argue that Cashman should be fired preemptively just for allowing the possibility of the Blue Jays finishing ahead of the Yankees.
If you ask me, I think there is a pretty good chance the D-Rays finish ahead of the B-Jays.
At Waswatching part of his reply was:
"Me? I guess I would have to say, now, that I would not be shocked if the Yankees finished third this year"
Now, when there's a 4 game losing streak he can go back and write "Back on January 14th I wrote I wouldn't be shocked" etc., etc.
It's pretty funny that everyone considers the Red Sox run away favorites in the AL East. The Yanks would have finished in first if it wasn't for their terrible April, plus the Sawx have done nothing to improve.
The Sox have a good team, but they're not invincible.
people always talk about Arod, Posada regressing, DJ, Damon, Abreu, Matsui, Giambi getting older, but you never hear anything like that about the Sawx.
I expect the offense to fare about the same. the aging of the older guys should be offset by the improvement of Cano and Melky.
for years, the Yanks have been criticized for having an 'ancient' pitching staff. now that 3 rookies will be in the rotation, it's 'a bunch of question marks.' just cant win with some.
Really Mike, the Yanks were the best team in baseball after May.
Now I not really sold on this idea that the Blue Jays are going to be better than the Yankees next season. The Blue Jays have been something of a fashionable pick for the last two to three years, it hasn't happened yet.
Mike continues to state that the Red Sox haven't done anything in the off season to improve. I feel compelled to reply. While its true they haven't made any trades or free agent signings there a few places where the Red Sox should be better in 2008. The most obvious spot is Ellsbury in CF and at the top of the batting order. The Sox patched up the lead off position with Pedrioa and Youkilis in 2007 but both are better suited batting elsewhere. They will have a healthy Jon Lester and Buckholz to start the season giving them better pitching depth. And it is a safe bet that J.D. Drew hits closer to his career averages.
It is unlikely that Mike Lowell will repete his offensive numbers of last year. The catcher is a year older and could see a bit of a slip in his offensive numbers. But Manny and Papi had slightly down slugging numbers in 2007 and could easily make up the difference with a return to form.
The Red Sox aren't invincible, no team is. They just have fewer questions and more solutions than the Yankees.
Also, please stop with this idea that the Yankees were a great team after April. They made the post season as the wild card and were immediately beaten by a better team.
so, you are saying their 3Bman and catcher will decline a little, which will be made up for by improvements in LF , RF, and DH, while shoring up some weaknesses in the rotation with 2 promising, but inexperienced rookies?
wow, that sounds really different than the yankees.
And by "promising, but inexperienced rookies" you mean only Clay Buchholz, right? Because Lester has over 100 professional innings with a WHIP that makes me wince just looking at it. Moreover, he has an awful MiLB WHIP, so it's not like he can fall back on some previous track record of success. Unless Lester spontaneously learns some control, he'll be at best a fourth starter.
There are a few critical differences. The Yankees need thier younger pitchers to step in and play a key role right away, while the Sox will be looking for a more complimentary role from thier young arms. The other area is the bullpen. The Yankees really need to add depth to all of thier pitching. Until Joba came along, last years Yankee pull pen was a mess!
i am not denying that the Sox are the slight favorites going into the season.
i think people just always love to mention how Yankees will regress/age. but no one seems to think it will happen to any Sox.
for example, you say the Sox only need "complimentary" arms, even though no one knows what Schilling and Wakefield will give you. those guys are really old too…
but yeah, the Sox are a little better set up to start the season.
Lester is only 24 years old. Control is an issue with him. But stop and consider he pitched 1/2 of his first ML season sick. However, his ability to throw strikes is still at issue. A work in progress.
I would certainly give Lester a benift of a doubt but the fact also is that the main reason he was viewed as a great prospect after 05… improving control … simply isn't the case anymore. I'm sure cancer had something to do with it. but it still hasn't completely reappear in 07. until it does he'll always be pretty suspect.
I'm also a bit preplaxed on why the cancer thing seemingly drove his status UP instead of down. yes he's healed. but that doesn't neccesarily mean it didn't leave some sort of damage on his overall ability. and it's true that his K/BB mark have both sliped since 05 anyway.
I think the Yankees being passed by the Jays is virtually impossible barring major injuries to Wang and / or A-rod . the Jays pitching numbers were good last year but look at who they threw it up with… Litsch / Janssen / Marcum are all very suspect youngesters stuff wise and track record wise.
Even without Santana they should be fine. their shot at the playoffs should still be very very good.
Jim, the Yanks Trio has anything BUT control problems (and are all younger than Lester). the Yanks 6 starters are ALL younger than Schilling or Wakefield (even Moose). why won't Beckett regress from a career year? or Daisuke too (Nomo regressed after his rookie year)? Schilling and Wakefield are BOTH over 40. Buchholz pitched 23 ip and he's god's gift to pitching?
i'm not saying they'll suck, just that they have issues and question marks too. the Yanks aren't the only ones.
DYK, Wang has a better career ERA+ than Beckett?
also, the Sawx pen last year going in looked like their biggest weakness. who the fuck knew okajima would have a great year? my point is that bullpens are very volatile. what looks like a weakness for the Yanks now could be a great strength by mid-season.


text: Adding an arbor to the beginning of your garden path makes an immediate impression. Even if the garden that lies beyond is relatively normal, the arbor entrance makes it feel special. It also announces the space and creates a boundary, turning the garden into a true hideaway. The Captain's House Inn in Cape Cod pulls this effect off nicely.

"I think it's important that fighters know, before going to Japan, you should have a deal that either gives you your money up front or in some kind of escrow account, to make sure the money is available after the fight," said Gracie. "...I feel like they've had two shows or three shows since my fight. I don't understand how they're still doing shows and they're just signing fighters up and fighters aren't getting paid. So to me it's not the right way to do business and it's not the right way to treat people."
