Brewers Rally Late to Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Tyler Roberts blasted a solo HR over the LF fence and onto 8th Street to ignite a two-run 9th inning, as the Brewers scored two in the 8th and two in the 9th to overcome a 3-0 deficit and edge the Cubs 4-3 in Arizona Instructional League action this afternoon at Fitch Park Field #4 in Mesa.
The game was scoreless through the first 4-1/2 innings, before the Cubs plated two runs in the bottom of the 5th to take a 2-0 lead. Jeimer Candelario ripped a lead-off triple down the RF line and scored the Cubs first run on a Yasiel Balaguert RBI GO, and then after Shawon Dunston Jr and Kelvin Freeman reached base on one-out singles (super drag bunt hit by Dunston), Wilfredo Petit drove-in Dunston with a two-out RBI single.
The Cubs scored again in the bottom of the 7th. Balaguert led-off the inning with a line-drive double into the LF corner, and after moving up to 3rd base on a Trey Martin line single to left, scored the Cubs third and final run of the day on a Ben Carhart RBI GO.
The Cubs did threaten to score again in the bottom of the 8th, as Mark Malave and Danny Lockhart singled with no outs and moved-up to 2nd & 3rd on a sacrifice bunt, but Malave was thrown-out at the plate (2-1) while trying to score from 3rd on a WP, and Jesse Hodges flied out to deep right to end the inning.
Four Cubs pitchers combined to throw a one-hit shutout with nine strikeouts through the first seven innings (the one hit being a broken bat single), but then the Brewer offense woke up as the Cub bullpen imploded. Trey Lang surrendered two runs on three walks and a single in a 32-pitch 8th (Lang had major control issues, throwing just 12 strikes), and lefty reliever Sam Wilson gave up the game-tying Roberts HR on an 0-1 pitch leading off the 9th and then allowed the go-ahead run to score when he threw a two-out WP (and forgot to cover home) after the Brew Crew loaded the bases on two singles and a walk.
This was the first 2013 AZIL game for the Cubs, but it was the 8th game for the Brewers. (The Cubs started Instructs later than usual this year).
Here is the abridged box score from today's game (Cubs players only):
1a. Gioskar Amaya, 2B: 0-1 (BB, K)

Bruce Levine bombshell. He ends his "Talking Baseball" show saying it's his last show on ESPN1000. The show started 22 years ago and has run weekly for all that time. He says it's not a retirement, so apparently he's leaving the station. Gives thanks to the litany of co-hosts, producers and friends.
Sorry to see the weekly show go away. Leaves XM radio as the only other off-season radio baseball outlet. He will remain in the twitterverse for now but didn't announce future plans beyond that.

I don't think this loss tells
I don't think this loss tells any more of a story than the wins, but it certainly highlights the problems this team had even in the wins. I think the offensive line got too much credit because of the emphasis on short passing. Cutler is stil getting a ton of pressure and there still isn't great blocking in the run game. The defense certainly can't stop the passing game without tons of blitzes, which is a big problem in the end.
I'm not sure why there wasn't more of the passing to Forte in this game because that has been one of the best things I've seen different on offense so far this season.
All this said, it's a completely new system that has been described as very complicated with two new o-linemen in a very loud, hostile environment so I think some struggles are acceptable. Defense though is going to be a problem for us though.

2.21/1.00 era/whip - 652 saves
...not counting his 1st season (where he was used as a starter for 10 of 19 games) he only had an ERA over 3.00 once (3.15, 2007, 37 years old). hell, he only had an ERA of 2.35+ three times in his non-starting career over 18 years. his highest WHIP in any of those seasons was 1.19 (1997) and he only had a 1.10+ WHIP in 2 of his 18 non-starting years. crazy good.
about the only thing to ask at this point is...can craig kimbrel or kenley jansen stay healthy and effective for the next 15-ish years?

insurance and taxes are held in escrow.i have it set up to pay 350 a month into escrow.that way i pay over and have a good chunk of change left in it at the end of the year.as it sits after insurance and taxes where paid we have 820 in escrow.so buy december 2 i will have a extra 1170 sitting in escrow.
again thanks everyone.hard work it is.i have a 8 year plan to get all my re modeling done and if it is looking good enough to keep then we just might stick out the 30 year and the house will be what my girls get when i die.if the market is just too good to pass up then we will sell and try to get some property outside of town.

GD, when I bought my house the wife and I figured to be in it for 5 to 7 years and then move to something bigger. As luck would have it and as life styles evolve we are still in the same house-------36 years later. The hard part to swallow is that although it's been paid off for 13 years now it's somehow still under construction. Remodel this, remodel that. And do all the work myself.

F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. is a Swiss global health-care company that operates worldwide under two divisions: Pharmaceuticals and Diagnostics. Its holding company, Roche Holding AG, has shares listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
The company headquarters are located in Basel and the company has many pharmaceutical and diagnostic sites around the world - including: Pleasanton, CA; Branchburg, NJ; Indianapolis, Indiana; Florence, South Carolina; and Ponce, Puerto Rico in the US; Welwyn Garden City and Burgess Hill in the UK; Clarecastle in Ireland; Mannheim and Penzberg in Germany; Mississauga and Laval in Canada; Shanghai in China; Mumbai & Hyderabad in India; São Paulo, Brazil; Segrate, Milan in Italy; Johannesburg in South Africa; Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore in Pakistan.
The company also owns the American biotechnology company Genentech, which is a wholly owned affiliate, and the Japanese biotechnology company Chugai Pharmaceuticals as well as the Tucson, Arizona based Ventana.
Roche's revenues during fiscal year 2010 were CHF 47.49 billion.[2] Descendants of the founding Hoffmann and Oeri families own slightly over half of the company, with Swiss pharma firm Novartis owning a further third of its shares.[2]
F. Hoffmann-La Roche is a full member of the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA).[3]
Founded in 1896 by Fritz Hoffmann-La Roche, the company was early on known for producing various vitamin preparations and derivatives. In 1934, it became the first company to mass-produce synthetic vitamin C, under the brand name Redoxon. In 1957 it introduced the class of tranquilizers known as benzodiazepines (with Valium and Rohypnol being the best known members). Its acne drug isotretinoin, marketed as Accutane and Roaccutane, also used as a form of chemotherapy for some cancers, has been linked to a number of severe side effects and remains highly controversial. Roche has also produced various HIV tests and antiretroviral drugs. It bought the patents for the polymerase chain reaction technique in 1992. It manufactures and sells several cancer drugs.
In 1976, an accident at a chemical factory in Seveso, Italy, owned by a subsidiary of Roche caused a large dioxin contamination; see Seveso disaster.
In 1982, the United States arm of the company acquired Biomedical Reference Laboratories for US$163.5 million. That company dated from the late 1960s, and was located in Burlington, North Carolina. That year Hoffmann–La Roche then merged it with all of its laboratories, and incorporated the merged company as Roche Biomedical Laboratories, Inc. in Burlington. By the early 1990s, Roche Biomedical became one of the largest clinical laboratory networks in the United States, with 20 major laboratories and US$600 million in sales.[4]
On April 28, 1995 Hoffmann–La Roche sold Roche Biomedical Laboratories, Inc. to National Health Laboratories Holdings Inc. (which then changed its name to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings).[5] Roche acquired Syntex in 1994 and Chugai Pharmaceuticals in 2002.
On 12 March 2009 Roche agreed to fully acquire Genentech, in which it had held a majority stake since 1990,[6] after 8 months of negotiations. As a result of the Genentech acquisition, Roche closed its Palo Alto based research facilities and moved them to Nutley while the US Headquarters in Nutley was moved to Genentech's facility in South San Francisco.[7] Genentech became a wholly owned subsidiary group of Roche on 25 March 2009.[8]
In 2011, the company received the ISPE Facility of the Year Award for Process Innovation for Roche's "MyDose" Clinical Supply project.[9]
On 26 June 2012 Roche announces closure of Nutley, NJ site Business operations to cease by end of 2013; site plant to be shut down by end of 2015[10] As of 28 June 2012 The RocheUSA.com portal for Nutley still indicated that "To maintain our innovative focus, the 127-acre site in New Jersey is expanding its research base and will become one of the largest R&D centers for Roche. Nutley is the center for the Oncology, Inflammation and Virology Discovery and Translational Areas (DTAs). These areas have a rich pipeline comprised of novel first-in-class and best-in-class compounds and have at their disposal the expertise of scientists in Discovery Technologies." But the NYTimes reported on 26 June 2012 that "Roche, the Swiss pharmaceutical company, said Tuesday that it would shut down its site in Nutley, N.J., which served as its American headquarters for 80 years, in an effort to cut costs. About 1,000 jobs would be lost, the company said."[11]
Creation of the first anti-depressant[edit]
In 1956, iproniazid was accidentally created during an experiment while synthesizing isoniazid. Originally, it had been intended to create a more efficient drug at combatting Tuberculosis. Iproniazid, however, revealed to have its own benefits; some people felt it made them feel happier. It was withdrawn from the market in the early 1960s due to toxic side-effects.
Drugs produced by Roche include:

Vitamin price fixing[edit]
Stanley Adams, Roche's World Product Manager in Basel, contacted the European Economic Community in 1973 with evidence that Roche had been breaking antitrust laws, engaging in price fixing and market sharing for vitamins with its competitors. Roche was fined accordingly, but a bungle on the part of the EEC allowed the company to discover that it was Adams who had blown the whistle. He was arrested for unauthorised disclosure — an offence under Swiss law — and imprisoned. His wife, having learnt that he might face decades in jail, committed suicide.[12] Adams was released soon after but arrested again more than once before eventually fleeing to Britain, where he wrote a book about the affair, Roche Versus Adams (London, 1984, ISBN 0-224-02180-X).
In 1999 Roche was the worldwide market leader in vitamins, with a market share of 40%. Between 1990 and 1999, the company continued to participate in an illegal price fixing cartel for vitamins, which also included BASF and Rhone-Poulenc SA. In 1999, Roche pleaded guilty in the United States and paid a US$500 million fine, then the largest fine ever secured in the U.S.[13] The European Commission fined Roche €462 million for the same infraction in 2001, also a record fine at the time.[12]
Roche sold its vitamin business in late 2002 to the Dutch group DSM.
In 1999 the firm plead guilty to participation in a worldwide conspiracy to raise and fix prices for vitamins sold in the USA and globally. Hoffmann-La Roche paid $500 million in criminal fines [14] to the United States.
Oseltamivir is considered to be the primary antiviral drug used to combat avian influenza, commonly known as the bird flu. Roche is the only drug company authorized to manufacture the drug, which was discovered by Gilead Sciences. Roche purchased the rights to the drug in 1996 and in 2005 settled a royalty dispute, agreeing to pay Gilead tiered royalties of 14-22% of annual net sales.[15]
On 20 October 2005, Hoffmann–La Roche decided to license other companies to manufacture Oseltamivir.[16]
Collaborative research[edit]
In addition to internal research and development activities F. Hoffmann–La Roche is also involved in publicly funded collaborative research projects, with other industrial and academic partners. One example in the area of non-clinical safety assessment is the InnoMed PredTox.[17][18] The company is expanding its activities in joint research projects within the framework of the Innovative Medicines Initiative of EFPIA and the European Commission.[19]

Hunter at Heart...
A hunter and his friend were sitting in a tall tower stand near Highway 7 early one cold December morning. Suddenly, a huge buck walked out over the corn they had spread in the low shrubs. The buck was magnificent, a once in a lifetime animal. His rack was huge.
The hunter's hand shook as his mind was already counting the Boone and Crockett points. Moving quickly, the hunter carefully aimed the Leopold scope on his .300 Win Mag at the unsuspecting buck. As he was about to squeeze the trigger on this deer of a lifetime, his friend alerted him to a funeral procession passing slowly down Highway 7.
The hunter pulled away from the gunstock, set the rifle down, took off his hat, bowed his head and then closed his eyes in prayer.
His friend was stunned, "Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen you do. You actually let that trophy deer go to pay respects to a passing funeral procession. You are indeed the kindest man I have ever known, and I feel lucky to call you a friend."
The hunter shrugged. "Yeah, well, we were married for 37 years."

Speaking to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel in April, after Harley borrowed $2.3 billion in aid from the Federal Reserve, but before that loan was disclosed, CEO Keith Wandell stated that his chief objective was to avoid emulating General Motors. With government aid, the car maker has transitioned from being the unprofitable maker of outdated products that no one wanted to turning a $2.0 billion third quarter 2010 net profit just before becoming the largest IPO in history. Wandell's plan appears to be working, Harley's net income for Q3 2010 of just $88.8 million compares extremely unfavorably to its $312.73 million result during the same period in 2006.
Why does this not surprise me?
Wes I think it's really shitty the way you rag on H-D. REALLY shitty.
why is that exactly?
Serious, like the bikes or not, HD is one of the worst managed companies in motorcycling.
He might (my internet sarcasm-o-meter isn't working well today) be making a reference to the use of the word "shitty", found in the previous post on H-D.
http://hellforleathermagazine.com Wes Siler
Well, even if I can't get any work done today, my sarcasm-o-meter is working and tells me he's joking.
That wasn't the comment ikee. Nice try though.
the comparison is not completely valid because GM went into bankruptcy and was allowed to shed a lot of dead weight. Harley didn't get to do that.
http://www.footshifted.com Footshifted
…but it does look a little better (purely looking at the numbers) than the $26.48 million from the same period in 2009.
Let's see the numbers from the other Manufacturers compared to 2006.
My view is that the long term future of HD is one of incremental decline. They won't disappear, but their riders will. They'll die, (the average HD buyer is 46), aggresive development by Triumph, BMW and Ducati will hoover up, over time they're loyal fans. What can they do? Tricky, they are a bit stuffed unless they attract a new crowd. How? Bribe 'em.
Low interest rates, or 0% finance, rider 'mentors' to encourage take up, etc, etc…It's not a lost cause, but it probably will be…
Or they could, I don't know, use some of the remaining profits to develop bikes younger people want to buy. Crazy idea, I know…
Well, the closing of Buell does not help the cause of attracting younger riders…
http://www.thisblueheaven.com Mark D
Yeah, 50% tariffs on all 700cc+ motorcycles is exactly the kind of thing Adam Smith imagined…
Actually, Smith was a great believer in retaliatory tariffs in order to protect established markets, when they were artificially affected by adverse governmental regulation and the like.
But be that as it may…
Here's an old discussion of the tariff from the Cato Institute for your perusal:
"a macho Sportster aimed at a younger crowd but with styling from the 1940s."
That statement even offends me.
"We are not naïve about that," Wandell said. "I believe that as long as we don't change those products that our customers love, they are OK with us going outside of the boundaries a little bit to bring new riders in."
"a little bit?" Like many of you have said, this is where they are not listening to you younger guys. I can understand being cautious, but this and the "macho sportster" ain't going to get it for them.
http://hellforleathermagazine.com Wes Siler
Yeah, it's an image problem as much as it is a price problem for the under 40 crowd. I'd love to see them expand the Harley appeal — timelessness — into other categories like cafe racers, standards, street trackers, scramblers etc without feeling like they need to bring 600lb weights, huge capacities and tassles with them.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with building what they do if it sells. But after reading this article, I am convinced, like you guys have been saying, that they just don't have a clue for capturing the younger market. People will continue to grow old, although not as many, and many will still want the traditional HD. But the younger riders being exposed to so much better technology in the last 30 years are naturally going to expect more. They don't seem to be getting that.
http://hellforleathermagazine.com Wes Siler
Well that's the thing, be-tassled cruisers have sold, but to a very specific (if annoyingly numerous) customer. They've now saturated that market (HD's biggest competitor is used HDs) and need to look outside it if they want to expand sales. That's before we get to the aging-out-of-riding thing.
I think they'll still sell for sometime as there actually are some younger riders that'll buy them and I think the end of the HD cruiser is still a bit away. But, HD has got to stop combining the two markets. They tried to appeal to the younger more performance rider with the V-Rod, while still maintaining the V-Twin/cruiser look to lure some of the older crowd. It didn't work. I don't think they can do that anymore. I think that many are right when they say that they need something completely new for the younger rider. They're two different markets and HD has got to stop trying to get both with one style bike. "Macho Sportster!" How rediculous.
Harley=Cigar retailers. Of course, cigar guys watched the gov. throw big tax hikes at them instead of loaning them money under the table (for all I know maybe they did on second thought). Alas for both, same demographic for the most part (i.e. me). I am fairly sure that throwing a new paint job on a bike may not radically alter the purchasing dynamic, but when you have dumped the two most innovative departments from your firm you may be slightly stuck. I am sure the bright MBAs running HD* (you know the Best and the Brightest, the guys who ran GM – who got us into Vietnam – credit swaps – etc.) can come up with something. * A few more from Harvard and Wharton at mid-six figures should do the trick. Announcing your new All American Harley – made in China……
You can do it HD. Just make a simple bike with ~90hp and ~450lbs full of fuel that sounds cool, rides easy, always starts, and isn't priced too high. Build the American SV650. Let people know that they don't need a tattoo of George Washington on their forehead and and a purple heart to appreciate your products.
You can do it.
http://hellforleathermagazine.com Wes Siler
I'd buy one.
Zane H
Sounds like a good idea to me. I also like how the article had no mention of selling MV for what was it $1 or something?
http://hellforleathermagazine.com Wes Siler
Ha, HD actually paid — off the top of my head — $20 million to help offset expenses associated with the purchase to the Castiglionis.
You mean a buell lightning….
Maybe it's a good thing that Wandell has been brought in from outside the motorcycle industry – he seems like he has a good handle on what is wrong with HD. Maybe it will just take some time?
I'm very surprised you guys points to other manufacturers (Triumph, Ducati and such) as examples for Harley to follow. What really new are these guys doing? The only visible trend is that we're going to see more bikes for the dual-sport segment, which shrunk two-fold since 2007. What else? For me it seems like the motorcycle industry as a whole has now idea what will be in demand 3-5 years down the road.
In the case of Ducati they redesigned the Monster line,the Multistrada,and the SBK line. The SBK line is going through another change for 2012 that is said to be revolutionary.They have ntroduced the Hypermotard,the Street Fighter and the Diavel. All this in the last 5 or so years. So I agree I dont know why anybody would wanna look to them and their stale ideas?
http://www.tripleclamp.net Sasha Pave
I'd like to see HD expand.
- They should make a dirt/dual/motard play, buy ATK or Highland.
- Get Eric Buell back on board and build a smaller-scale 1190RS platform line. Give it a better name and hire a notable designer. Erik is awesome, but he's no Tamburini.
- Make strategic investments in electric bike manufacturers like Zero & Brammo.
- Introduce a cafe-racer style retro, maybe rekindle the Aermacchi brand?
Making plays like this would allow them to leave their retro cruisers to a shrinking but stable market.
I think these are great ideas, although I don't think they would get Buell back. But money does talk. I really like the idea of them investing in the electric bike arena. That could be really exciting.
I'd love to see that too, but they would need cash to do that, and they have long since blown all of their cash. Also, they can stretch their brand more than they think, but not THAT much. Half the problem with Buell was the dealership network (the other half was H-D stifling Buells engineering and forcing hideous design decisions), and that same network wouldn't touch dual-sports or electrics.
I think you're onto something with the cafe style retro. I've offered this up before, but the XR750 is an absolutely amazing bike, that would have huge appeal to younger buyers and couldn't be more inline with H-D's history. I'd buy a street stock version (same size and displacement, detuned for reliability, and with lights) at $11k rather than a Bonnie in a second.
Harley has got some history to play on too in an era of increasing niche period-bikes from different companies, why can't Harley pull out those smaller actually-purpose-built-WW2 machines? I see older smaller Harleys and go hmmm, I'd own that, and the performance can't be any worse and you'd attract niche buyers looking for a more interactive (Read: maintenance heavy) steed ala Royal Enfield. I love all the ideas of cafe racers and trackers and I'd love to see a bobber too, the way everyone on every forum imagines them, with all of the needless heavy junk cut off and/or stowed away! Harley would actually start cleaning up with a lighter package, perhaps even the same basic engine, say a 6-800cc in different frames and dress-ups with less chrome eagle be-decked engine covers and more creative custom accesories to mix it all up…
It seems to me that Harley Davidson is the Jay Leno of Motorcycles. They have all this ability and were once epic but for some unexplainable reason they just turned that part off to become this safe non-threatening boomer brand.
Hire Scott Colosimo as a consultant, reduce the noise level on your current baggers by 50% and repay the loan. There.
A bit more…actually I think HD have come to realise, and I have too, albeit it took me a while that they're not actually selling motorcycles, as any real comparison in the normal criteria of weight, handling, power, braking let alone style just doesn't apply.
They are quite literally selling a dream, a fantasy. The website and all the marketing stuff is easier and cheaper to produce and develop than a decent motorcycle. But one day, it will happen…but don't wait by the phone…. -
"They are quite literally selling a dream, a fantasy."
Bang on the money!

Songs made famous by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole and Billy Holiday will be followed by hits by Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and Josh Groben, including Come Fly With Me, Orange Colored Sky, Ain't Misbehavin', When I Fall In Love, Stormy Weather, The Power of Love (Celine Dion), I Will Always Love You (Whitney Houston) and You Raise Me Up (Josh Groben). The show finishes with My Heart Will Go On from the movie Titanic.
"Love Songs & Valentines" is the first in a series of Alabaster Dinner Theatre Shows to be offered at the Oakhurst Tea Room in 2013.
"We are coming to Oakhurst Tea Room because it has a fabulous reputation and great local attractions like the Quecreek Mine Rescue Site and the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville," said McCormack. "More than that, as a dinner theater venue it's perfect. The food is wonderful, it's a beautiful facility and the people are very accomodating."
Upcoming shows include Broadway's Best April 23. McCormack said it will include great hits of the Broadway stage from Rogers & Hammerstein to Andrew Lloyd Weber and contemporary shows.
"We have wonderful professional singers and glamorous shows," she said. "There will be audience participation and different performers."
American Heroes, a very patriotic production, will be put on May 21, Fathers Day June 16 and July 4.
"It's done in period costumes with American history and music from the Revolutionary War through present day," McCormack said. "We have fabulous singing and performing as well as a salute to the veterans."
