Games » Seattle Mariners
Apr16How the league is adjusting to Tim Collins
Lee Judge
If you're going to talk pitching, you can do a whole lot worse than sitting next to Paul Splittorff. We were watching Tim Collins pitch in the sixth inning of this game and I asked Split how quickly the league adjusted to new guys. The answer? Very quick.
Everybody's got advance scouts and they're all working very hard to figure out a new pitcher's game plan and how to beat it. Split thought Collins liked to work just out of the zone: throw a pitch that appears to be a strike and then moves. He thought the Mariners had already picked up on that pattern and were taking those pitches, which would explain the walks the night before.
Paul also pointed out that big league hitters have a better eye. On a 1-2 pitch to Chris Gimenez, Collins threw a pitch that stayed in the zone for a long time and then snapped down at the last (I'd say second, but that's too much time) millisecond. Split said that a minor leaguer would swing at that pitch and miss it by a foot. A major leaguer spits on it. (That's what they call it when they refuse to swing at a sucker pitch.)
A SCIENCE BREAK: the slower your bat is, the sooner you have to start your swing. I will 100% positively guarantee you I can hit a 90-mph fastball, I've done it. Unfortunately, I need to see about 50 of them in a row to figure out when to start my swing. Once I get my bat up to speed on the 90-mph fastball (I start my swing when the pitcher drops the rosin bag), if you then throw me a breaking pitch, I'll be so far out in front the bat will end up somewhere in the third-base dugout. That explains what's happening to Tim Collins: in the minors guys don't have the bat speed to wait and see where the pitch will end up before swinging, in the majors they do.
Even though the Mariners were taking the borderline stuff, Collins ended up striking out the side (with a walk and a double mixed in), but now you know why it took 29 pitches.
Note to the Royals marketing department: How can you miss the opportunity to serve a new drink, the Tim Collins? I don't know what you'd put in it, but it should be served with a twist. (Hey, I'll settle for 10% of the gross. Have your people call my people.)
Here's the plan…
Matt Treanor and I were trying to figure out how many runs he saved when, with a runner on first and third, he blocked two pitches in the dirt, followed by a sac fly. He kept the runner on third from coming in twice (although he eventually scored on the sac fly) and kept the runner on first, who would've been on third when the sac fly was hit without the blocks.
So did Matt save two runs? One scored, but it wasn't his fault. Did he save three runs (two blocks that kept the runner on third from scoring and another run on first from scoring), but how could he save three runs when they were only two base runners? And if he blocks three pitches with a runner on third, he didn't save three runs, did he? Just one run three times…and if the run eventually scores, did Matt save any?
At this point in the conversation, Jason Kendall got up and said, "If you guys are going to keep talking about this #@*%, I'm going to leave" and went to get a beer.
Jason Kendall thinks I'm a dork. On the other hand, Jason's so tough I'm pretty sure he thinks Chuck Norris, John Wayne and Charles Bronson are/were dorks…so at least I'm in good company. Matt Treanor is just glad that anyone is paying any attention to defense. We agreed that I'd count blocked pitches in the dirt with a runner on third…and he had another one today.
Other stuff…
Melky Cabrera turned a flare into a double when he realized everyone was chasing the ball and nobody had the bag, Alex Gordon continues to rake, but didn't go back to tag second when Butler smoked a ball to Ichiro (I think Alex thought it would fall, but was hit so hard it stayed up) and Alcides Escobar turned in his daily web gem.
Ask a Royal…
I've got mixed feelings about this feature: the website is supposed to provide you with the kind of inside information that others don't have the time or space to cover. And your questions help me know what to write about. Having said that, I'm not going to ask a player what his wife looks like naked. (That was one of the questions I received…I might like to know also, but I ain't asking.)
Another factor is player availability: you're talking to one guy and the other guy you needed to talk to left. So be patient. If it's a good question, I'll try to get to it eventually.
Here are the answers to a few I got to after/during this game:
*According to Paul Splittorff (can you tell I watched the game with him?) the cold affects a pitcher's grip on the ball because everything feels dry and slick. It mainly affects breaking pitches which require more touch than a fastball.
*I also asked Split about player's schedules. Generally they show up 3 ½ hours before game time, if they have extra work, even sooner. I once asked Jason Kendall for some time and he suggested I show up at 8AM for the next day's 1:10 game. That's how early he arrives at the stadium for a game…and it sends a message to the other players: this is the kind of work required to succeed. Players are usually out of the stadium an hour after the game ends, unless they need treatment from the trainers.
Interesting side note: a lot of the players walk out carrying Styrofoam container of food from the post-game buffet. They're headed home and carrying takeout food. I think players take being in shape much more seriously than they used to, but cell phones have changed their lives.
One guy told me if you decide to have a beer in a bar and a woman approaches you wanting to have her picture taken with a ballplayer, it can be on the internet before you get home to a wife that has a question or two. On the other hand, players use cell phones when they don't want to talk to anyone: they walk out of the park in an intense conversation with no one. (Hey, the same trick I use on the panhandlers that stand outside the Star!)
*Someone asked about Escobar's swing and pitch selection: I didn't get a chance to talk to Esky or Seitzer about this one, but Latin players have the reputation for being free-swingers. The reason I always heard was, "You can't walk off the island" meaning: if a scout is watching you play, swing the bat. You're not getting signed by walking twice.
After many visits to Latin America, Ron Polk, creator of the system we use, came up with another reason: one ball, no backstops. Swing the damn bat so we don't have to chase the ball. I've got no clue if any of this factors in to Alcides' approach at the plate, but it's interesting to hear how different cultures approach the game and their reasons for doing so.

Acides Escobar shows me something new every game it seems. But I saw a first Saturday before the game. As the Royals' pitchers etc. were heading to the bullpen one was wearing a pink Justin Bieber backpack. Another fan said he must have a daughter, but that only accounts for where the backpack came from. What's in it and who was wearing it? Also, when the Seattle players went to their bullpen, one was wearing an R2D2 backpack (think Star Wars) and another had a black and pink one on. What are they carrying?
- Jonathan Tucker 2 years, 10 months ago
I asked a question earlier this year about what everyone elses backpacks were, but the answer is such: The 4 rookies in the bullpen this year were given "initiation" or "rookie hazing" by being forced to have their hair cut into faux-hawks and having little backpacks. Aaron Crow had the privilege of getting Justin Bieber, but I wasn't sure of the rest...Honestly, I have no idea what's in them, but I thought it was a great idea!
- Lee Judge 2 years, 10 months ago
Jonathan's got it: the backpacks are part of the rookie hazing. The veterans are picking them out and are apparently earnestly looking for more...but they've got to be humiliating.
The packs contain stuff for the bullpen, drinks, sunflower seeds, dip, gum...that kind of stuff.
The bullpen is isolated: they can't go up into the clubhouse or into the batting cages during the game. All they have is a bathroom and an equipment room out there. Getting through 162 games while confined in a small area with a few other guys takes some ingenuity.
I should write more about this and will.
- Lee Judge 2 years, 10 months ago
Just came across my 'Spanish with Brayan' note (and if the word translations drove some of you crazy, hang onto your socks, I asked Brayan Pena to give me some phrases...and I can barely spell in English much less Espanol).
"Yo lo tengo!" meaning, "I've got it!" (My laptop doesn't have an upside down exclamation point.) This phrase is handy when playing outfield next to someone from Cuba.
OK, now all you can get to work on whatever mistakes I made in spelling or grammar.
- Zack Delmont 2 years, 10 months ago
This is AWESOME! LOVE THIS STUFF!
Zack Daddy
- Lee Judge 2 years, 10 months ago
Thanks, Zack. Stay tuned, I heard some more interesting stuff this morning.
- Andrew J Overton 2 years, 10 months ago
You definitely can't save more runs than there are runners on the base paths. Kendall is just upset right now because he is hurt and can't participate in the winning (I would be too). That's interesting about the latin players, I wonder if statistically they have a lower walk rate than USA players.
Do non-spanish speaking players learn a little spanish to make it easier on the field? For example, does Escobar say yo lo tengo or does he say I've got it? How do the players call each other off? When I was playing as a child the CF called off the other outfielders and the SS called off the other infielders, is the hierarchy the same in the bigs? Great stuff as always Lee.
- Lee Judge 2 years, 10 months ago
I agree, saving one run three times isn't the same as saving three runs. You've got to decide what you're counting. Trying to figure out what would've happened if a pitch hadn't been blocked is a bit trickier than figuring out what did happen because a pitched was blocked, so I figure I'm safer counting that.
Kendall's figures he just blocks pitches and if someone else wants to theorize about what that means, leave him out.
By the way, Jason Kendall is a big fan of the website and has been very supportive of what I'm trying to do. Like a lot of the other players, he appreciates someone trying to present the game from their point of view.
I think he's thrilled about the way things have gone so far for the Royals and his locker is still the rallying point for players after a game. You walk into the clubhouse and see half a dozen guys in a circle, having a beer and talking about the game.
As for the Latin players: talking about the difference between nationalities makes people nervous, it sounds politically incorrect. I think the differences are often cultural and that gets mistaken for genetics.
If you want to read more about this try Warren Cromartie's "Slugging It Out in Japan" a book about his experiences playing baseball in Japan.
And according to Chris Getz all the players use 'got it,got it, got it" whatever their nationality.
As for pop fly responsibilities, that's a good one and I think I'll write about it at length in my notes.
Stay tuned and thanks for checking in.

Ok, although I like Kila Ka'aihue, at what point does he get dropped in the order. I keep looking at the stat LOB and it just seems maybe one should see Jeff Francoeur moved up. All in all though, great web site. Easily my favorite sports read right now.
- Lee Judge 2 years, 10 months ago
Chuck: Thanks a lot, I hope you continue to enjoy the site. As for Kila: I've got no clue.
Most of the time when a team makes a move that you don't understand and you get to talk to the people involved, you find out there are reasons for it. You may not agree with those reasons, but the moves are rarely clueless oversight.
Not long after this website started someone from the Royals front office told me how much he enjoyed it and appreciated the fact that I didn't try to play GM.
That struck a chord with me: I'm unqualified to play GM or maybe even manager, but have had very good instruction on how the game is played.
That's what I hope is diffrent about this site. You can find out why an outfielder will dive on a play in the gap, but pull up and play the ball for a single if it's between him and the line. (I talked to Alex Gordon about this play and will have something on it shortly.)
I agree with you that Kila is scuffling. I know the team feels he's getting a lot of off-speed stuff right now and will have to adjust to that before he gets back to seeing more hittable fastballs.
How much patience they're going to show or whether they want to adjust the lineup in the meantime is beyond me.
One further point: the team looks at a lot of factors when making a decision and will go beyond results when doing that. Kila went to the plate four times yesterday, walked, struckout looking, had a hard groundout (with a runner in scoring position) and singled. From their point of view (and mine) he had three quality plate appearances in four tries.
Move the hard groundout six feet either way and we're talking about what a great day he had. They know he can't steer the ball. He did what he was supposed to: hit the ball hard and low.
(Can you tell a woke up too early and have some time on my hands?)
OK, time to get ready for work. Keep reading.
- Sean Fischbach 2 years, 10 months ago
Awesome stuff. Never knew all of these little tidbits being just a casual fan. You've definitely got me paying more attention to BB than any time since the '94 strike.
- Lee Judge 2 years, 10 months ago
Sean: Thanks, I know what you mean. I was a casual fan all my life and then met some players and they begin to show me what to look for. It made the game so much more interesting. I'm happy to be able to pass along the information.

Almost a year ago, the team from House & Home Magazine came over to our house to do a photoshoot for their Makeovers issue. I know many of you outside of Canada had a hard time getting your hands on the magazine and I promised to publish some photos once they became available to me. I'm happy to say that the House & Home website has finally put up the photographs some of which I will show you below. For the full story including the before photos of these spaces head over to their site.

Just gorgeous….you KNOW how much I love your home, hun. Love getting to see more photos! More,more!
Melis -
Hey Emma, Where did you get that wooden stool in your bathroom? Cheers, Sara
It looks wonderful! I am going to pull out my old House and Home to see the pictures in print!
@Sara – The stool is originally from Ikea. Unfortunately, I don't think they make them anymore. We actually found this one and another one at a garage sale.
Thanks for sharing your house with us again. It is fabulous. Love your kitchen. What is the surface of the floor? Brazilian flagstone? Wow.
Marybeth -
@mb – Yes it is Brazilian slate.
The photos look lovely seeing them again. I am building a bookcase wall in my office (almost done!) and am currently going through all my magazines to try to purge some (husband really doesn't understand my need to hoard design magazines.)
Will have to take another peek once I find the makeovers issue. -
what a gorgeous home you have!
x kat -
these pictures are beautiful! i especially like your use of blue on the walls and the nursery. lovely home
I just love your house!
Moved from Toronto (10 years there) back to Vancouver and oh how i miss Victorian homes! We were five days away from starting the reno of a semi on Madison when we heard of the transfer. Had planned the reno for a year – sniff…
Your photos are lovely – inspiring for my little 1930′s cottage here in Vancouver…
The home looks great. It looks so fresh. I'm in the process of rejuvenating my home (it's about time)
Hello! I have been searching for kilim inspired pillow shams and came across a photo of your bedroom layered with multiple designs. We're these amazing finds or are they from a company? Your home is breathtaking. Thanks!
Wonderful Emma! You did a great job on that video interview as well!
@Rejena – The pillows are from a mix of places. The kilim rug looking ones at the back of the bed I made out of an old rug. The front pillows shams are all from West Elm.
Here's a link to a post I did on the kilim pillows:

@ Emma. I meant Brazilian Slate. We had it in our family room a couple of houses ago. I loved it.
Marybeth -
I will never get tired of seeing every angle of your house! It is truly lovely!
It's a beautiful home and very cozy! Lovely pictures!
I love your home and blog. Would like to know the paint info for the wall in the kitchen. It looks like a beautiful blue, but the H&H site says it is black. Many thanks.
@Antiope – The paint in the kitchen in Benjamin Moore chalkboard paint in black. There is definitely an element of blue to it. It definitely has a blue-black slate feel.
Thank you so much for the info. Amazing how blue it looks; it must be the white of the cabinets and the yellow of the forsythia that brings out the blue. Must try!

Todd Pletcher said Feb. 23 there were a combination of factors that led him to choose the Timley Writer Stakes as the season's debut for star 3-year-old Uncle Mo.
MAHUBAH'S CORNER, by Avalyn Hunter
Leading Kentucky Derby candidate I Want Revenge is an outcross within 5 generations, partially due to the Argentinian breeding of his dam, but also because of Stephen Got Even's unusual pedigree.
The top three finishers from the Gotham Stakes (gr. III), headed by runaway winner I Want Revenge, are among the probable starters for the 85th running of the $750,000 Wood Memorial (gr. I) for 3-year-olds going 1 1/8 miles at Aqueduct on April 4.
West Point Thoroughbreds' president Terry Finley said Mr. Fantasy, who finished third in the Gotham Stakes (gr. III), would most likely run in the $750,000 Wood Memorial (gr. I) on April 4 for his next start. The $500,000 Illinois Derby (gr. II) had also been considered for the son of E Dubai.
Shipping in from California and making his first start on natural dirt, I Want Revenge put away Mr. Fantasy at the top of the stretch and scored by 8 1/2 convincing lengths in the $250,000 Gotham Stakes (gr. III) March 7 at Aqueduct.
Triple Crown Talk blog, with host Jason Shandler, offers Gotham Analysis and Selections.
Two for one, as That Handicapping Show looks at both the Gotham (gr. III) and the Santa Anita Handicap (gr. I).
Saturday at Aqueduct, we're looking for a horse that might be prepared to move forward the most. Between our top two picks, there's one obvious choice, and one that's maybe not so obvious.
On paper, the $250,000 Gotham Stakes (gr. III) has turned out to be one of the most intriguing and highly-anticipated prep races of the season, as a number of promising 3-year-olds will attempt to answer questions about their ability to go on to the $750,000 Wood Memorial (gr. I), and possibly the $2 million Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I).
Trainer Michael Matz said that Gotham winner Visionaire appears to have come out of his March 8 Gotham Stakes (gr. III) victory in good shape, and will ship back to Palm Meadows in Florida March 11.
Trained by Michael Matz, Visionaire looks to improve upon his third-place finish in the Feb. 9 Risen Star Stakes (gr. III). He will have to beat nine others March 8 at Aqueduct, including undefeated Giant Moon.
Aqueduct inner track kingpin Summer Doldrums tries to defend his turf against eight rivals, including several quick invaders in Saturday's $200,000 Gotham Stakes (gr. III).
Lawrence the Roman, who had crushed his opposition by nearly 30 combined lengths in three previous starts, gave a severe jolt to the Derby plans of his connections when he beat only one horse in the $70,070 Whirlaway, a race for 3-year-olds won handily by second choice Summer Doldrums Saturday at Aqueduct.
An expected speed duel never materialized in Saturday's $200,000 Gotham (gr. III) at Aqueduct, and John Dillon's 36-1 shot Like Now took full advantage, leading the field all the way to the wire while holding off the previously undefeated Keyed Entry by a neck in a long stretch duel.
The $200,000 Gotham (gr. III), switched this year to a two-turn race on Aqueduct's inner track at 1 1/16 miles, has drawn a strong field of 11 Saturday, including top-notch 3-year-olds Achilles of Troy and Keyed Entry.
"Citgo Racing to the Kentucky Derby," an eight-show series on ABC and ESPN providing comprehensive coverage of key Triple Crown prep races, kicks off Saturday on ESPN with coverage of four races coast-to-coast.
Lawyer Ron took another step forward with his victory in Saturday's Southwest Stakes, extending his winning streak to four. But he still left a major question unanswered. Despite the lack of stakes action last week, there were several horses around the country who stepped up and made people take notice.
Ogden Mills Phipps' Survivalist, winner of the Gotham (gr. III) and runner-up in the Wood Memorial (gr. I), breezed a half-mile in :51 3/5 at Belmont Park Wednesday, after which trainer Shug McGaughey said the colt wasn't likely to run in the Kentucky Derby (gr. I).
Daddy Joe, a $900,000 son of owner Paraneck Stable's 1996 Wood Memorial (gr. I) winner Unbridled's Song who is set to run in the $150,000 Gotham Stakes (gr. III) Saturday, worked five furlongs in 1:00 on the Aqueduct inner track Wednesday with jockey Norberto Arroyo Jr. aboard.
If Bob Baffert has his way and the weather cooperates, Roman Ruler's long-awaited 3-year-old debut will take place Saturday in the $250,000 San Felipe Stakes (gr. II) at 1 1/16 miles.
Grade II winner Roman Ruler, getting ready for a start March 19 in either the San Felipe Stakes (gr. II) at Santa Anita or the Gotham Stakes (gr. III) at Aqueduct, worked a mile from the gate at Santa Anita Wednesday in 1:38 3/5.
Richly Blended. a 6-year-old son of Rizzi, will relocate to Matt and Barbara Butterworth's West 12 Ranch near Lodi, Calif. for the 2005 breeding season.
Saratoga County took advantage of a fast pace to collar Pomeroy in mid-stretch and pulled away to a 2 1/4-length victory in the $200,000 Gotham Stakes (gr. III) at Aqueduct Saturday.
Although the Gotham Stakes is only grade III, and is not known for producing Kentucky Derby (gr. I) winners, Saturday's running of the one-mile event features the most intriguing matchup of the year, between two of most gifted 3-year-olds in the country, Eddington and Redskin Warrior.
With four big Kentucky Derby preps this weekend, as well as the Swale Stakes, one would think that finally some sense of order will be restored to the Derby trail. But maybe, instead of seeing the light, we will plunge deeper into the darkness.
Bettors at Aqueduct on Sunday will basically be clueless when it comes to wagering on the one-mile Gotham Stakes. The two overwhelming favorites in the field of seven, Saarland and Mayakovsky, not only will be making their first start of the year, they have absolutely nothing in common.
Just like that, we lost two exciting prospects from this weekend's stakes, Sunday Break and Saratoga Blues, with the latter not even on the Derby trail any longer. But now it's time to concentrate on the Florida Derby, San Felipe, Gotham, and Tampa Bay Derby.
The $200,000 Gotham Stakes, to be run Sunday March 17, could draw a talented group of 3-year-olds from different parts of the country, including two big-name colts from last year who will be making their 3-year-old debut. Coming up from Florida will be Remsen winner Saarland, who was unable to get a 7-furlong allowance race at Gulfstream to fill on three occasions.
If you heard a shot ring out at Aqueduct on March 18, it was just another of those Benny and Buzz bullets that have been known on occasion to blast a hole in the wind. The latest speeding bullet from the Benny Perkins Jr./Buzz Chace arsenal is Richly Blended, a son of Rizzi who left his field for dead in the $200,000 Gotham Stakes (gr. III).
A field of eight evenly matched 3-year-olds will head to the post for the 49th edition of the $200,000 Gotham Stakes (g. III) Sunday at Aqueduct. Co-highweights will be Marciano and Regal Shivers at 120 pounds, four more than the remaining six entrants.
Voodoo had his final tune-up for Sunday's $200,000 Gotham Stakes (gr. III) at Aqueduct, breezing five furlongs in 1:00 over Belmont Park's muddy training track Wednesday morning. The son of Petionville owned by John Moore, Voodoo finished second behind Regal Shivers at 1-5 in the Whirlaway Stakes on Feb. 10.

(Washington, DC -- Todd Zwillich, Transportation Nation) Get ready for dueling petro-bills in Congress this week as Republicans and Democrats try to outdo one another in the war of words over high gas prices.
Only trouble is, none of the bills you'll see tossed around the Capitol this week will do anything to lower this spring's high prices at the pump.
House Republicans this evening will bring up a vote on HR 1229, known as the "Putting the Gulf of Mexico Back to Work Act." It forces the Obama Administration to consider new drilling permits in the Gulf within 60 days, and automatically approves the permits if it the administration goes too slowly.
Republicans say there will be another vote this week, this one on a bill forcing the administration to conduct lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico and on the Outer Continental Shelf off the coast of Virginia.
If you feel like you've seen this movie before, it's because you have.
Republicans maintain that increasing domestic production will get the US off of its dependency on foreign oil and increase supply at home. Democrats counter that the US has only 3% of the world's reserves and therefore can't "drill its way" out of oil dependency. Get ready for a lot more of the same on the House floor this week.
Meanwhile in the Senate, Democrats have rolled out an effort that appears to stand a better chance of reaching the President' desk. The "Close Big Oil Tax Loopholes Act" repeals one of several federal subsidy programs enjoyed by oil companies. The Obama Administration has proposed using the estimated $4 billion in annual savings from closing the loophole for clean energy programs. But that appears not to be the plan of Senate Dems, who instead are getting with Washington zeitgeist and proposing to put the money toward the deficit.
House Speaker John Boehner suggested over a week ago that he may be open to looking at such a plan. But will Democrats succeed in boxing Republicans in and getting them to agree to stick it to "Big Oil" while profits soar and Americans struggle? Stay tuned. A vote likely won't come until next week.
But will any of these efforts ease the pain at the pump Americans are feeling because of unrest in the Middle East and market speculation? Consider the words of Missouri Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, one of the sponsors of the loophole repeal bill: "It is dishonest for any of us to say we can wave a magic wand and bring down gas prices."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Three more employees of the truck stop chain owned by the Cleveland Browns' owner and Tennessee's governor pleaded guilty Tuesday in what authorities call a scheme to cheat trucking firms out of rebates.
Regional sales manager Kevin Clark pleaded guilty to mail fraud in federal court in Knoxville. Local media reported that account manager Holly Radford and salesman Jay Stinnett entered similar pleas later in the day.
Court records state Clark "knowingly and voluntarily joined and participated in the conspiracy" with others at Pilot Flying J, the country's largest diesel retailer, to short-change trucking companies between 2009 and this spring in order to increase Pilot profits and boost sales commissions.
Federal agents raided the privately held company's Knoxville headquarters in April. Pilot is run by Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, the brother of Gov. Bill Haslam. Jimmy Haslam has denied any personal wrongdoing.
"We are disappointed in the actions of these employees towards our customers," Pilot spokesman Tom Ingram said in a statement. "We assure our customers that our five-step plan to correct any wrongdoing and to make certain these actions do not happen again is ongoing."
The governor maintains he is not involved with operating Pilot Flying J, though he continues to hold an undisclosed ownership stake in the company posting annual revenues of $31 billion.

Visited The Stuffed Sandwich today with a friend. The atmosphere is what you'd expect from a sandwich shop. Order at the counter, they call your name when your order is ready. Tables we're clean and orderly. Loads of beer signs adorn the walls, letting you know that you're in for a treat. We went big today! Full sandwiches, chips, and beer. The counter service was great. Friendly with some suggestions to improve our amateur sandwich building skills. Next we ventured off to peruse the beer selection which absolutely floored me! I mean, this is a sandwich shop right? I was not prepared for what selection lay before me. 150 beers from...well, everywhere! And I'm not talking about 150 beers just to say "We've got 150 beers to choose from". You won't find any beer produced for the masses in the cooler behind this beer counter. I'm talking about 150 highly sought after,award winning, noteworthy beers from around the world! The staff was very knowledgable about the beer and answered all the questions we had quite expertly. We started with a sampler of stouts and then moved on to pints. The only thing that surprised me were the paper cups. Each bottle was served with a paper cup. I thought that a bit odd for a place that obviously takes such pride in the selection they have to offer. But I can get over that, I just bought a glass! Since we had eaten there, we were able to purchase beer to go. I've got some presents that are going to make a few beer lovers I know really happy! I'll definitely be back!

I've been to Stuffed Sandwich a few times. It's a nice sandwich deli that also happens to stock really nice selection of craft beers in bottles and some months have spectacular tap list.
You do need to order food first before you can buy beer (per their ABC license). This is fine with me. I've had 3 different sandwiches, and they were all good. I didn't care for their spaghetti much though. The staff is very friendly, and they are knowledgeable about beers.
Generally, the tap list is revolved around a theme. Unless you bring your own glassware, they'll serve you in plastic cups. Kinda weird, but okay I guess. They do top it off to the max though, so they'll tell you to take a few sips before walking back to your table.
Now to the beers. In coolers, they carry a nice selection that you typically find in good bottleshops. I hear they have more in a cellar, but I haven't inquired. The one bad experience I had was when I bought a couple of Plinys and didn't check the bottle dates until I got home. It was close to being two months old. Granted they were probably refrigerated the whole time, but most places sell you Pliny that have been bottled within the last ten days. The RR sours were little on the pricey side.
I'll return when they have something interesting on tap that I've not had before, but I don't think Stuffed Sandwich will be my first choice to buy craft beers in bottles.

I've been here a few times now. Just recently took a buddy the other day for his first time, in which I think he was a little reluctant due to Sam's reputation which can be a Huge turn off.
In my few experiences, they have been good. The first time was about 6 years ago. I followed the rules and Sam was extremely cool and helpful. This place is Not a Liquor Store and it's Not a Bar. So if you go in with that mentality and understand that he can lose his business license if acting like the two. So when you go, plan on eating, at least a little bit. You have to order beer before even thinking about beer. Once you order food. You will get very knowledgable help with their huge beer selection if needed. Also bring a beer glass unless you want to buy one or drink out of a Dixie cup. They don't have the staff a necessity to wash dishes or glassware. I always buy a glass from the great selection they have.
The food isn't bad. I really enjoyed my cappicola sandwich. My buddy got a grilled cheese. I suggest half a sandwich if you plan on drinking.
The beer selection is extensive. A wide range from all over the world with a ton of CA craft breweries along with all the sours for all you sour heads out there. A phenomial Belgian section. If interested the have a bunch of gift type beers like double magnums of great Belgians or Double Bastards or even very well aged phenomenal wines like Silver Oak and Opus One.
This place is a must visit if visiting or from SoCal.

I made my first stop into this place today with a buddy who had been telling me about this place for sometime now. When you first walk in its best to just forget about the beer section and just order your food to get it out of the way because you will more than likely take a few minutes trying to decide which beer you wanna try first.
As far as the beer goes I believe he has about 10 coolers full of beer which is kind of cluttered so make sure you look behind bottle if you can before decided. There were 9 beers on tap all were of the season I believe. There is also beer on display that is shrink wrapped put together so you can buy different years of the same beer. I personally purchased the Bigfoot which came with a 93,94,95,98,01,and 02 to add to the others I have been aging myself. The selection is good and I'm sure if you got to know the owner he would tell you there is far more than the eye can see. The place also has a decent selection of glassware which you will need if you dont want to drink your beer out of a cardboard cup haha great money making idea buy a beer need a glass with that??
The food was not bad if anything it is filling enough so you can suck down a few brews and be on your way. The price for everything seemed to be reasonable and I had no problem paying what I paid for the beers I purchased.
All in all if I didnt live so far fromt this place I would probably make a few more trips a year than I do now which is one. Highly recommended

My favorite sign in Sam's shop reads:
This is not A Burger King
You dont get it your way
You take it my way
Or you dont get
The Son of a Bitch
My brother-in-law turned me on to this little gem of a sandwich shop and I am so thankful for it. I live in Orange County so it is a bit of a drive for me to get out to visit Sam and Marlene, but it is worth it every time. The first time I walked in their joint I was amazed at the tap selection and the bottle selection in the coolers behind the bar. A very eclectic collection of recent releases, obscure imports, and hard-to-find vintage beers.
The first time I went in was Nov 2010 and I was shocked to see Barrel Aged 2 Turtle Doves on friggin tap! I immediately hit it off with Sam (I had been given a heads up on his style though). He is a true beer lover and Sam & Marlene's combined 50 years of industry experience shine. Sam is the BOSS though. Follow his rules and he is a fun-loving guy.
In order to buy beer, you must order food first (their license dictates this). They hand make all their pasta sauce and it's pretty tasty. The sandwiches are delicious. Huge pastrami sandwich piled high with meat. Nice!
The shop atmosphere is that of a traditional sandwich shop with a little more "beer-lover" appeal. Many, many different styles of beer glasses from different breweries lines the glass cases around the dining area. All are available for purchase. You will want to buy one if you don't bring your own glass. Otherwise, you will be drinking from paper cups.
Sam has an amazing cellar of beer. I don't think anyone has ever seen it though. He has a list of vintage beers you can buy, but he doesn't list his "best" stuff. If he likes you and you hit him on a good day he will venture off to "the back", disappear for a while, and emerge with a gem. As Sam says, "All it takes is money". The best part? These gems are not overpriced. My buddies and I drove up there before a Bruery Reserve Society tasting and told Sam we needed to take something nice for the bottle share. He brought out a Bruery Batch 1 Levuds & 2000 Alesmith Old Numbskull. We were stoked.
I can't say enough about Sam and Marlene. Classy people with a fun shop. You will never be disappointed in their beer selection.

I'm actually sitting in Stuffed Sandwich as I write this review. Marlene set me up with a Tomahawk from Mikkeller.
I am a little biased towards this place because I've been coming here regularly for lunch since they moved to their new location in 2003. I just turned 21 in December of 2010 so I finally realized how amazing this beer selection actually is. Sam (the beer Nazi) has a huge selection of bottles that are cold and ready to drink. Then when you start looking around he has a few packages that are off to the side of hardy wine, bigfoot, and celebration ale. All which have been paired with the same brew, but different years. Sam has a warehouse full of beers that he's been aging for years. Some things dating back to the 70's. He always has 9 beers on draft and he has a different theme for each month. This month is barleywines. He has 3 taps right now that are Bigfoot. A 2010, 2008, and a 2006. Impressive!
You can't say enough good things about this place. Sam has really taught me everything I know about beer. My first day of coming in to actually drink, he went over all the basics and shared beer stories with me for over an hour during his lunch rush. Marlene is the nicest woman alive, but get on Sams hood side and you'll have a blast every time you come in. I find it fun to have an old man talk shit to me everytime I see him.
Bring your own glass and follow his rules!!

Just like everyone says, bring your own glass! You don't want to have your beer in a paper cup! They have over 700 brews here on tap/bottle. You need to purchase food in order to drink as well.
I was able to buy some beer glasses that are hard to come by so another star for that. Sam is quite a character but grows on you.
He is heralded as the father of craft brew in certain circles and definitely knows his stuff. Beer lovers rejoice, there is a "Beer Heaven."
Subscribe to their email list and you will be in the loop of what they put on tap.

This is a veritable institution of beer in Los Angeles. Pre-2007 it was stuffed sandwich, father's office, and Hollingshead.
Pleasant setting with a small bar to the left and enough tables to seat about 40 on the right, plus another 30 can sit outside. You must order food and you must bring your own glassware.
The food isn't great but it gets the job done, its basically a deli with an expanded menu. I stick with the sandwich whenever I visit.
The beer list tends to be heavy on the stronger and darker beers but there is a sizeable bottle list. Many customers bring in bottles of their own, just make sure you share some with Sam the Owner. Sam occasionally brings out some vintage bottles from his impressive cellar. Cantillon is often found here when it is gone everywhere else.
I'm not in the area too often so I haven't been here more than a handful of times but I always enjoy my experience.

Made a trip down to the Stuffed Sandwich for a Barrel Tasting. They were pouring things like Parabola, Adam from the Wood on draft to name a few, and Ishared the whole flight that was offered with a friend.
It's a family owned place, and the service comes with a bit of sarcasm ( in good fun) which makes the place unique. The walls are filled with bottles of some Very rare, and old beers. Such as some Hair of the Dog bottles, Batch 7 in a 750 ml! wow!
Fellow BA picked up a mixed six pack of Bigfoot with a 1993, 1994, 1995, 1998, 2001, 2003 in there for $30! amazing.
The place is small, and nestled in the corner of a mini-mall, but this is a must try imo.

I've been here a lot of times. Mostly on Wednesday nights for the weekly beer tasting group.
Always make sure to order some sort of food when you come in, even if it's just a cup of potato salad or a sandwich.
The bottle list is quite extensive and eclectic, so you can easily find something you like or that you haven't tried before. Plus, they tend to have a few interesting beers on tap.
Sam can be a bit rough around the edges, but if you care about the beer, follow his rules, and aren't an ass, you'll be fine. And as much as he dishes it out, he can take it right back too. Though I wouldn't necessarily recommend taking jabs if you've never been in before.
Definitely an institution in the Los Angeles beer world.

Weather Forecasting? Phooey!
Tuesday's Poem: Walking to Work in the Cold
Walking to Work in the Cold
Hat pulled down low and scarf pulled up high. Glasses cover my eyes. Cool lenses thick with hot breath fog so vision is limited to a hazy slit. I'm still cold and now I can't see.
First Banished Word of 2014: Polar Vortex
The first addition to my 2014 list of banished words is "polar vortex". The phrase was added not because I dislike the cold so much, but because I don't like hearing the words "polar vortex" dozens of times a day.
Back when I was younger (I guess this is where I'm supposed to say, "Back in the day"?) – and actually until quite recently – whenever we had a mid-winter invasion of cold weather that lasted for a couple three days it was simply called a "cold snap". Or an "arctic blast". So what's suddenly the deal now with (ominous voice) "THE POLAR VORTEX"? We don't need it. Not when we have the perfectly acceptable, cold snap and arctic blast available for use.
I like the weather. I would call myself a weather nerd but I'm of the age when being called a nerd was not a particularly pleasant reference. While being a nerd is sort of a badge of honor now, walking down those cold high school hallways and being called a nerd used to be the last thing someone wanted. Anyway, like I said, I like the weather and I just wish I could get the weather nowadays quick and dirty and without weather forecasters who feel the need to dramatize cold snaps into polar vortexes, or who try and make us believe a few snow showers, or an Alberta clipper, carry the possibility of becoming the next Armistice Day blizzard.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the weather forecasters and the jobs they do. Weather forecasting is a necessity, and a lifesaver, when it comes to giving us information on hurricanes and tornadoes, but put the extremes aside and just look at those day-to-day, five/seven-day extended forecasts. I believe those to be totally unnecessary and a waste of real news time and no more valid, or accurate, than the daily horoscope. OK, you're a weather nerd and you think that's a bit harsh. I understand there's science involved in trying to predict the weather future when data from multiple sources around and above the earth is gathered and assimilated and analyzed, but the reality is that even the best and most expensive computer simulators get it wrong on occasion. So extremes aside, I'm going to stick with weather forecasting as important as, and less interesting than, the daily horoscope until I see weather forecasters step up and share their forecasting accuracy percentages, something along the same lines as the graphic that shows us a baseball player's batting average and on base percentage whenever he comes up to the plate. Or until the forecasters tell us exactly how they measure their forecasting accuracy, or until they develop forecasting terms that are a bit less vague than "A 40% chance of rain tomorrow", or provide slightly more concrete predictions to take the place of 'partly cloudy' and 'partly sunny'. Until then I'm going to lean more toward meteorology as a pseudoscience (yeah, I know, that's a bit harsh again) and go on believing that the nightly weather forecasts have less to do with the weather than television ratings and advertising revenue, and that meteorologists are hired, and continue to remain employed, not because of any meteorological efficiency, but because of physical looks and charisma and good hand/eye coordination.
The Heist – Friday Fictioneers
The Friday Fictioneers challenge: Based on the weekly photo prompt, write a one hundred word story that has a beginning, middle and end.
Thanks to Rochelle-Wisoff Fields for hosting the group and to Madison Woods for creating the group and to all of you for participating, reading and commenting.
The photo:
The Heist
It was a simple recon mission: enter the gate, grab the balls; a simple in and out affair, but when her brother Ethan got cold feet and ran home to mommy and a Kraft Macaroni and Cheese dinner – and let the gate lock behind him – Jenny was alone and lost. Stuck on the wrong side of the fence she heard the familiar bark and turned to see Poppy climbing up from a small hole under the fence. "Don't worry, Jen," Poppy ruffed, pausing for a quick face lick, and then ran up the tree and pointed the way to safety.
Friday Fictioneers: The Lighthouse Keeper
I'm only 96 hours late…
It's Friday Fictioneers time! Friday Fictioneers is a group of talented writers who gather weekly (yes, on Friday) at Rochelle Wisoff-Fields' blog where we find her photo prompt. Then, armed with a photograph, we scatter back to our respective corners of the world to write a 100-word flash fiction response to the weekly prompt.
If you're someone who likes to write, feel free to join in the fun. Just click on the link above for the (very simple) rules and the photo.
That's it, here's my story. And Happy New Year to you!
The Lighthouse Keeper
Years ago the Gods left earth. The Elders say the Gods left without warning; one day their ships were anchored above Atlanta, Kinshasa and Guangzhou, the next day: gone. The technology they shared eliminated war, famine and disease. Greed was a memory. Eventually the Corporations rose and through an apathetic populace more interested in comfort and personal diversions, they gained power. Greed and suffering returned.
I'm the lighthouse keeper. I light the fire that sends rays of hope to the heavens. Tonight I use the last of the fuel leaving us with no way to reach the Gods but prayer.
I Quit
I give up. It's only been six days of winter, but between the snow and the cold (bitter or brutal depending on what station you're watching) and the snow-covered roads and the spinning tires and the frosted windows and the dry skin and the dry nose and the chapped hands and lips and the foggy glasses and the nitwit meteorologists who have to go outside to give us the forecast and then tell us how cold it is and the. . . and the . . . and. . . I can't go on anymore. I quit. Six days and I bow to you. You win, winter.
Are you happy, winter, now that you got what you wanted? Now will you please moderate or something and bring back some normal temperatures and dewpoints you bastard?

Hawaii Five-O – Bust of Jack Lord at Kahala Mall
Hawaii Five-O – Bust of Jack Lord at Kahala Mall
You can find a bust of Jack Lord who was best known for playing Steve McGarrett in the famous TV series Hawaii Five-O at the Kahala Mall in the residential neighborhood of Kahala on the Island of Oahu. Jack loved this part of town, owned a home here and many scenes were filmed in this area.
Mahalo to Anette from the Hawaii Five-O fan club (see comment below) who let us know that this bust is the the only 100% funded statute in the world! Click here for directions and pictures of the dedication ceremony back in 2004.

Thank you for displaying our statue. It is the only 100% internet funded statue in the world. Pictures of the dedication ceremony can be found on the fanclub site.
A funny story about filming. The casting director would wander town handing out cards to locals inviting them to be an extra on the show. Well, it seems that the same people were used over and over again. Lenny Freeman stood up on the set oe morning and yelled "If I see the doorman at the Kahala (Mandarin) in one more scene somebody is getting fired!" -
2. Bruce Fisher | November 19th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
WOW Annette , mahalo nui for this info, I had no idea !! Wonderful story about the filming too!!
3. Bruce Fisher | November 19th, 2009 at 6:04 pm

All Customer Reviews for "Arai Corsair V Helmet - Fiction Red"
Average Customer Rating:
Write a review and share your thoughts with others.
Reviewer: Luke (Chino Hills, CA) 12.21.2011
King of Arai Helmets
Let me point out that just by reading the helmet description you can see how much work was put into the Cor V. I have been known to be the guy with too many Arai helmets but I couldn't resist. Once I got my helmet, I liked it even more. The pictures don't show how vibrant the colors are in the graphics. The wider eye port makes a huge difference, my field of vision is increased a lot more and that makes it safer for checking blind spots. I wore this helmet at high speeds and didn't even notice any lift or drag. It just slices through the wind! There is also the option to add another vent for even better performance. Money well spent!

I made this thinking it would be great for kids to bring to sleepovers at Grandma's house. Now if only I can convince Grandma to have sleepovers.
I think I found a pattern for it in a Simplicity pattern book, though I can't say for sure. Basically, you sew a big pocket onto a blanket, making sure the pocket is measured 1/3 of the blanket, and sewn in the center. My Grandma had one of these growing up, and it was perfect to bundle up in and stick my always ice cold feet in the pocket.

Share this news story Disclosure, Huxley and George Fitzgerald set the tone on the UK house artist's first commercial mix. T. Williams has mixed Rinse: 21, due for release in November. Though he's still in his 20s, Tesfa Williams has been at it for a while, having started making music, by his own estimation, at the age of 13 or 14. His style has gone through many evolutions since then, starting with grime and eventually leading to his signature sound today: mostly house, but firmly rooted in the hardcore continuum. This is clear in his Rinse mix, which skirts the line between house, garage and grime throughout. Williams is one of the many artists confirmed for Rinse's 18th birthday later this month at Brixton Academy. You can also hear him every Sunday night from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM (GMT) on Rinse.FM. Tracklist 01. T.Williams feat. Tendai - Think of You 02. Juno Sutton - Get You 03. Soul Clap - Need Your Lovin' (Nitetime Remix) 04. Breach - You Won't Find Love Again 05. T.Williams feat.

Colonel Charles Young
Kentucky-born Charles Young graduated from West Point in 1889, the
third African-American to do so. His entire field career was spent in
black regiments - the 9th and 10th Cavalry, and the 25th Infantry. He
was most renowned for his leadership during the 1916 Punitive
Expedition which marched into Mexico in pursuit of the revolutionary
leader Pancho Villa. On March 9, 1916, then Major Young led a cavalry
charge against the Villista forces with no losses to Young's squadron.
On April 12, 1916, at Santa Cruz de la Villegas, his squadron rode to
the relief of Major Frank Tompkins, who was severely wounded. Major
Young's reinforcement of Major Tompkins at this critical time is
credited by many as preventing a war with Mexico. Young's brilliant
and aggressive operations in Mexico won him a promotion to Lieutenant
Colonel in the 10th Cavalry in 1916. A year later he was promoted to
full Colonel, the first African-American to reach that rank, and
briefly served as the Commander of Fort Huachuca.
Although suffering from high blood pressure, Colonel Young was
anxious to command his black troopers in France in World War I. The
then 53-year-old colonel rode on horseback from his home in Ohio to
the War Department in Washington, D.C. to demonstrate his fitness for
duty. He was denied the opportunity to command troops in Europe, but
was later recalled to active duty to serve as Military Attaché to
Liberia. He died in 1922 in that post. He is interred at Arlington
Cemetery in Washington, D.C.

BK Precision's new Model 201 Telephone Line Checker is a low-cost, compact, lightweight, portable device that can be used to check phone lines. It quickly checks whether a phone line is digital or analog before the modem is connected, thereby protecting the modem from damage. By simply inserting the phone line to the receptacle on the Model 201, or by plugging it into the wall jack with the supplied adapter, the unit identifies if the line is safe, if it has polarity reversal, or if the line is open.
When near a radio transmitter telephone, phone wires can act as antennas that draw radio frequency interference (RFI) to corrupt data received over a modem. This can interrupt Internet, fax and e-mail connections. The Model 201 incorporates a line noise filter to counteract RFI, protecting the modem on the computer. The line checker weighs only 1 oz and measures 2.8" x 1.2" x 1", and comes complete with an adapter cable. BK Precision, Placentia, CA, (714) 237-9220, www.bkprecision.com.

"What else is there?" explained Skyler when asked if all his songs are about love, and girls.
A few minutes after hearing him perform "Hold my Hand," "Stephanie" and "Any Stupid Thing " it's a little tough to disagree with him. For Sklyer, who has just the one name because he really has four names, and keeping the one just seemed simpler, being on stage and belting out love songs is what it's all about.
The 19-year-old, who started playing sometime in elementary school after buying his first guitar with proceeds from a lemonade stand (seriously) and later put together a music studio in his bedroom with what he made from bake sales (seriously). After high school and a year at Berklee College of Music, he found a manager and a band and took the show on the road. He has six EPs — the latest recorded with his "Band of Thieves." Listen to some of the tracks below.
"Take You Away"
"Empty Rooms"
"Hold On (Pray)"

900-Watt 10-Channel Powered Mixer with Dual Multi-FX Processor and FBQ Feedback Detection System
900-Watt 10-Channel Powered Mixer with Dual Multi-FX Processor and FBQ Feedback Detection System
The PMP980S and PMP960M give you loads of flexibility in accommodating whatever the center of attention happens to be. Channels 1-6 of both mixers are for mics, bass guitars or other mono instruments. The PMP980S features channels 7-8 and 9-10, which can be used as stereo channels. In the case of the PMP980S, that means you can connect up to 8 microphones or other mono instruments or six mics or mono instruments along with two stereo instruments (keyboards, for example) or the A/V equivalent.
In the bottom right corner of the mixer, you'll find the FX, INPUT TO MAIN and OUTPUT sections. The FX section features a FOOTSW(itch) input. This lets you connect a footswitch like the AB200 so you can remotely enable/disable either FX channel. FX OUT 1 & 2 are used to connect up to two outboard effects processors.
The AUX IN 1/4" inputs in the INPUT TO MAIN section allow you to route an external stereo signal to the main mix. The AUX IN control adjusts the volume of the external signal in the main mix. Use the 2TR IN RCA inputs to feed in external stereo signals from CD players or tape decks. The VOICE CANCELLER switch allows you to eliminate the vocals from pre-recorded music for karaoke applications.
In the OUTPUT section, the REC OUT RCA outputs send line-level signals from the mixer to a recording device, so you can finally get to work on that triple-live album you've always dreamed of. The MAIN 1/4" connectors are there just in case you want to connect more amps. Connect your monitor power amps or active monitor speakers to the MONITOR output.
You'll be operating this mixer like it's second nature thanks to its simple, intuitive layout. Each channel has a three-band EQ (HIGH, MID, LOW) blue; MON(itor) level in gray; FX1 in red; FX2 in orange (PMP980S only); PAN in black (only PMP980S); LEVEL in white. There's also a switchable PAD and CLIP LED per channel.
Once you've set the levels on individual channels, it's easy to create your MAIN and MONITOR mixers. The MAIN and MONITOR sections are nearly identical, featuring graphic 7-band EQs that allow you to adjust the sound to the room acoustics.
This is where the FBQ feature comes in particularly handy. Press the FBQ IN switch to activate the Feedback Detection System. Trouble frequencies are indicated by brightly lit fader LEDs. Just lower the level of the respective frequency range until feedback disappears and the LED goes out.
The FX RET controls add the selected effect signal to the main or monitor mix. When both are completely counterclockwise, no effect is applied. The 2TR IN control adjusts the volume of the 2 Track signal, if you have connected one. Use the MAIN MASTER/MONITOR MASTER controls to adjust the main and monitor output signals, respectively. The 5-digit LED meters give you a visual representation of these volumes. The upper LIM LED illuminates when output levels are too high, activating the internal amp protection circuit.
PMP980S's POWER AMP switch toggles between three operating modes: STEREO, MON/MONO and BRIDGE (the power outputs of A and B on the back panel are added and provided at OUTPUT B). The PMP960M provides similar options: Bridge mono or dual mono (Output A can be used for mono Mains and Output B for Monitor Send 1, or Outputs A and B can be used as Main/Main). This clever functionality enables you to power both your mains and monitors without the need for an additional power amp just for your monitors.
Directly below, you'll find the SPEAKER PROCESSING switch that activates a filter in both models, adapting the mixer to the frequency response of your loudspeakers.
Finally, the STANDBY switch lets you mute all input channels during breaks, preventing the microphones from picking up noise or interference. You can leave all faders untouched while you play a CD via the CD/TAPE inputs.
We always strive to provide the best possible Customer Experience. Our products are made in our own MUSIC Group factory using state-of-the-art automation, enhanced production workflows and quality assurance labs with the most sophisticated test equipment available in the world.
