There Will Be Chaos
There will be chaos—keep pedaling
This is, perhaps, the wisest statement I've ever heard about riding in a pack. I'd love to know who first uttered those words. Who had wisdom enough to say to a friend what might as well be known as the Cyclist's Prayer? What was the occasion? Better yet, what was the circumstance that first taught a rider that lesson?
A teammate said that to me before a race sometime in the early 1990s. I'm reasonably sure it was before the Bear Mountain Road Race that the West Point cadets held as part of their annual collegiate stage race. What occasioned the comment was a descent on the course in which simply freewheeling inside that pack was guaranteed to see you hit speeds in excess of 50 mph. For me, it would be the fastest I'd ever gone on the bike, probably by a good 10 mph. He said that as riders felt themselves accelerate, some would start to freak and that it was important to put fearful riders behind me. It was good advice.
Two years later another teammate said it to me, though the circumstances are less clear to me now. It struck me because this teammate had never met the previous teammate. Their lives were separated by years, degree programs and geography. And yet, it was the same advice in a different situation. Many years would pass and then in the comments to a deeply personal post I wrote for Belgium Knee Warmers a reader shared that a teammate had once told him before a team time trial, "There will be moments of chaos, keep pedaling."
For most of the time that quote has rattled through my gray matter, it has served as a rule of thumb, much like the advice to race car drivers to always aim at the crash because by the time you get there, it will be elsewhere. The advice to keep pedaling is comprised of layer upon layer of wisdom. In it, there's the simple physics of a bicycle, that under power your weight will be centered and the bike will handle better, that if you're not slowing down, the gyroscopic effect of the wheels spinning means you're more apt to stay upright—even if you are bumped. There's the reality of bike racing, that the worst expression of chaos is a crash and if you are pedaling then you're probably not crashing. Another great truth buried in this little koan is that bike racing is, at its very core, chaotic. If you are to make peace with bike racing, then you need to make peace with chaos. The final kilometer of any race is the ragged edge of disaster itself, one narrowly missed explosion of metal and bone after another, resulting in personal glory for one rider and something approximating relief for another hundred or so survivors.
In the last few weeks, I've been thinking about that quote the way I like to think about my favorite quote by William Faulkner: "I never know what I think about something until I read what I've written on it." There is no truer statement that gets to the heart of what makes a writer tick. We write our way into opinions, epiphanies, existence itself.
There will be chaos. Of that, I'm certain. There was a time when I would have railed against that idea. I'd have insisted that life didn't have to be that way. And I was right; life doesn't have to be that way. But it is. Chaos is beyond my ken, beyond my control. And it's in every corner of my life. It is the work of entropy itself, that second law of thermodynamics that stipulates everything breaks down.
Some chaos isn't so tough to deal with. The chaos of my son Philip's toys on the living room floor? A bit uncomfortable if one is caught underfoot, but not a biggie. The chaos of the Deuce's biology? Not something I'm at peace with. The real struggle is the in-between stuff. Modern life is sometimes compared to those Chinese acrobats who spin plates on the ends of wooden dowels. In my case, one plate holds Philip. Another holds Matthew. There's one holding my wife Shana and a separate one for her mother, who will be with us another week. There's what ought to be my work life and for much of the last week, I've added to that pressure a fresh dose of tasks in the form of everything I'm doing for an upcoming Kickstarter campaign. This afternoon, I was handed yet another plate to swirl into the air when the "check engine" light on my car came on as I was trying to drive to the hospital for some time with the Deuce. It was all I could do to nurse the lurching beast home. Not a bill I want … or need. Damn entropy.
Chaos was what I felt when I realized there would be no seeing the Deuce today.
So, yes, there is chaos. But that's not how that quote goes. It states, "There will be chaos." In that I hear the lesson of acceptance, that no matter how much I want to get through this particular chaos, the future will hold more chaos. Acceptance is my reminder to myself that I might as well chill; any plan I have isn't going to it—the plan, that is.
The second half of the quote—"keep pedaling"—is an imperative. It isn't an invitation. It isn't a suggestion. It isn't a request. It goes Nike's "just do it" one better because in order to keep pedaling, one must already be pedaling. In as much as this is an imperative, it is also an assurance; you're doing it right. Now just keep doing it.
I have begun to see this little koan in increasingly large contexts. Several weeks ago, when I was trying to spend every waking hour at the NICU, it became an admonition to stay on the bike, to keep logging miles. The drive wasn't for preserving fitness, of course, it was just about stress relief, getting out there and clearing my head so that I would be more useful to my wife, more at peace when at Matthew's side and more centered when talking to doctors.
It has come to serve an even larger role in my life, though. It's a kind of moral north star for me, suggesting that what I'm doing is good and I can take heart in the idea that I'm on the right track and I needn't change anything. It's important to show up, to be present every day. It's good for me; it's good for my wife and it's good for my kids.
Of the many things I need right now, a promise does me more good than all the kilometers I'd log in a month of Sundays. And that saying is nothing, if not a promise. This is going to be weird. It's not really going to be fun. It's not over, either—won't be for a while yet.
But I'm going to get through and what I'm doing right now is what's going to get me through.

I'm trying out a Lumia right now and Nokia maps + drive works quite well. Overall I think I'd prefer the 8x (or possibly Odyssey if/when it comes out), but there seems to be a lack of quality voice turn by turn navigation, especially if you want offline navigation.
Yep thats my only gripe.I spoke with HTC yesterday and they said that they are actively looking into something. The only one I can think of is garmin street pilot. But I dont want to pay for it when I was so used to the standard maps app in 7.5 providing this. I was thinking of going back to Nokia 810 but I like the form factor and looks of this phone to much to get the 810. I may just wait of spring for the garmin app. If anyone has other suggestions let me know.
I just don't know why they'd remove a feature that was already there in wp7.. I never imagined I'd see a decrease in features going to wp8.
yep thats the same feeling I have I cant fathom why. It must have to do with Nokia. I rely alot on the gps. I am going to give it another week and try out some other gps programs. But I do really love the phoen other wise. I have had several friends and family say it looks amazing and they all have iphones.
Hopefully It will be pushed out in an update. Or maybe Microsoft can licence Nokia Drive for all WP8 devices...
Nokia drive is supposed to be available to all WP8 devices. Im not sure whether the manufacturers had to request it from nokia (royalties) or if the app isn't ready yet. Nokia's drive+ on the lumia phones is still a beta so perhaps when that moves out of beta we will see a watered down version for all windows phone 8 devices, i hope atleast.
On another post here I read that an HTC rep said they were working on their own navigation app
I use the navigon app, not free, and unless you managed to pick up one of the special offers, it is fairly pricey, but well worth the one off investment IMHO, I had it on my titan and installed it on my 8x as soon as the wp8 version was available. It has full offline map capability, regularly updated maps, motorway lane guidance, speed camera warnings, live traffic etc.
I think some better navigation apps are on the way. For one thing, new smartphones including the HTC 8X have GLONASS capability (using Russia's constellation of 24 navigation satellites) in addition to GPS. By combining both systems, it can get precision down to ~10 feet as well as get a fix in more difficult locations. This should mean we can rely on the technology for a wider range of applications where more precision or access are useful. Also, the Windows Phone 8 API (which became available to developers only very recently) has improved features for geolocation, which should improve the accuracy of fixes and also makes it easier for developers to manage situations where the satellite signal is interrupted or the device is in motion (as in a car). What we need is for a developer to come up with a killer application for these new improvements. So I hope Nokia and/or HTC have some good ideas on this.
There are no words to properly convey how furious I am with Microsoft right now. Why did I get a stupid Windows phone if there's no built-in navigation!?! I am such a fool! I went from a perfectly functional HTC Android phone with built-in Google Maps/Navigation, to a Windows Brick (trademark). No navigation? it's a brick. I can't return this because the stores have a 14 day return policy, which is ridiculous. It's not HTC's responsibility to provide a navigation app- and I sure as **** ain't paying for it- and AT&T Navigator? that's just none-sense.
Surely, I am not the only one who is outraged by spending hours of research trying to find out how to use navigation on my "totally sweet new Windows Phone", only to find out THERE ISN'T. This is a complete failure on Microsoft's part.
Anyone here have a dog? I've got a new toy for it to play fetch with, or bury in the back yard, or take a dump on. whatever. pshhh. Seacrest out. - 12-04-2012, 10:36 PM #14
It took you over 14 days to realize it didn't have turn by turn navigation? Its such an important feature to you and you didn't even attempt to use it for over 2 weeks?? Something's not right with your story.... (just sayin)
No sympathy from my end.
You didn't know what you were buying before you bought it.
Had you researched properly, you would have known that Nokia is responsible for providing full turn-by-turn to Windows Phone. If you wanted it right now, maybe you should have got a Nokia.
14 days and only now you realise? Poor.
Device: O2 HTC Windows Phone 8X 16Gb - 12-05-2012, 04:20 AM #16
No navigation = brick? Microsoft's fault that there's no built-in navigation? Well well...
Short answer: if you're not happy with your 8X because it lacks turn by turn navigation at the moment then just go back to your lovely old, "fully functional" Android phone. Simple as that. - 12-05-2012, 06:13 AM #17
What exactly is meant by the term 'turn-by-turn'? I use the built in Maps app and it works just fine. Not "offline" but otherwise I have no issue with it. Works a heckuva lot better than the NAV built in to my 2011 Ford which gets oddly high marks/ratings?!?!
In Germany, T-Mobile sells the 8X with Navigon included for their customers! I think, that a limited version of Navigon should be included with every 8X. Allowing for 2 states / Laender / smaller EU countries. Then 8X owners could upgrade if they need any more navigation. But this depends on the carrier and HTC as well as Microsoft.

Many answers here in my battery tips & tricks post: http://forums.wpcentral.com/htc-8x/2...ps-htc-8x.html
Please help me with my WP8 Sync App idea called "WP8 ClonePhone": http://forums.wpcentral.com/windows-...lonephone.html
There is no turn-by-turn which kind of stinks but the maps do work very well considering all you get is the basic directions. One thing I discovered yesterday while messing around with my phone is the application settings. I've gone about 3 weeks before even knowing that these even existed haha! Anyway, under application settings (you have to swipe left on the main settings screen to get there) you will see a maps icon. From within the maps settings you can download maps to your device for offline use. Other navigation programs will also use the map, so I can use my offline map for Texas with gMaps. It won't talk to me, but I suppose I can live with this until there is a better alternative.
I hear your pain. I'm thinking I'll role in the cost of a nice nav app to my phone price. The 8x seems like a nice phone and it's only $50 right now with an upgrade. I'm an Android guy but I'm a fan of all of the big three (MS, Apple, Google). I don't want to pay $199 unless I'm on the cutting edge... and since the Nexus 4 doesn't have LTE and I have my hangups with iOS (plus I worry about Apple getting too powerful), I'm trying the Windows experience. The little I've played with the 8x had me wanting more.
I myself switched to the 8x except im coming from IOS a month ago an absolutely loving it. I still run my I4s as a secondary device just for some things u can't on Windows phone but I have been discovering great alternatives an have been using my iPhone less an less. That's the only reason I ever carry the iPhone with me anymore is for Google Maps turn by turn. I'm also hoping for some turn by turn on the 8x so I can almost completely eliminate the iPhone. But I guess til then I guess I will just have to bring the i4s with me for navigation

If you are 18 or older and mentally competent, you have the right to make decisions about your medical care. Advanced directives are legal forms that help you do that.
There are three kinds of advance directives:
If you already have a North Carolina advance directive, we must have a copy in order to follow your wishes. If you cannot give us a copy, we will be happy to complete another form for you in case one is needed while you are in Duke University Hospital.
If you have an advance directive from another state, it cannot be used in North Carolina. We will be happy to help you complete a North Carolina form so that your wishes can be followed.
If you want to complete an advance directive, or have questions, talk to your nurse, physician, patient and visitor relations representatives, or staff in Pastoral Services. Your nurse can also help you find someone to notarize your form.

Over the last several years, a loosely defined collection of computer software known as "spyware" has become the subject of growing public alarm. Computer users are increasingly finding programs on their computers that they did not know were installed and that they cannot uninstall, that create privacy problems and open security holes, that can hurt the performance and stability of their systems, and that can lead them to mistakenly believe that these problems are the fault of another application or their Internet provider.
CDT is working on several fronts to combat the "spyware" problem. We believe a complete solution will require a combination of better enforcement of existing laws, anti-spyware technologies, self-regulatory policies, and possibly new legislation.

Old Traditions Return to Lake Martin with Opening of Kowaliga RestaurantIt's hard to believe Lake Martin was ripped to shreds by a tornado nearly two years ago, but Lake Martin has bounced back. This spring, many people going to the lake will find some old traditions with a new twist...the Kowaliga Restaurant is back. Hank Williams wrote a song about it...and now the "Kaw-liga" tradition is returning to Kowaliga Bay at Lake Martin. "It's just the corner stone of this community, we've had it all our life, and I didn't know it without it until it disappeared and I am so thankful that it's back," said Mary Daugherty, who has lived at Lake Martin her entire life. But it's rebirth is bringing back more than just a new restaurant. "I believe the original name Kowaliga is going to bring back a lot of people that remember Kowaliga," said lifelong boater Jeff Lucas. The restaurant is sort of the hub of activity in terms of meeting friends and relaxation," said Roger Holliday, Vice President of Russell Lands, which owns and developed Kowaliga Restaurant. "It's more about the community, than it is a place to eat." For many people, when they think "Kowaliga", they think of the iconic pine Indian. It used to stand in front of the old Kowaliga building more than 60 years ago. The new Kowaliga Restaurant hired an artist to recreate it, in hopes to not just bring back old memories, but create new ones. Holliday says his passion to develop Lake Martin comes from his childrhood. He grew up at the lake and he remembers passing on traditions of Kowaliga to his children. "They'd sit out [at the docks] and throw hush puppies to the fish and that's what I want my grand kids to experience one day," Holliday said. Lucas remembers the rental cabins once behind the old Kowaliga restaurant, and like Holliday wants to pass the tradition. "Now I have nine grandkids, and I hope their memories will be just as good as mine were," he said. Russell Lands owns Kowaliga Restaurant, on top of other Lake Martin restaurants, Catherine's Market and Spring House. The developers decided to reclaim the space when Sinclair's lease ended, after occupying it for 12 years. Spring House general manager and executive chef Rob McDaniel was excited to get on board as general manager of Kowaliga, because it's a whole different style and approach than what he delivers at Spring House. "We want to be intertwined with a memory that people have of being on Lake Martin, we don't want to be the memory, we want to be a big part of it though, because there is so much to experience here," McDaniel said. Experiences that will not only bring back boaters and families, but breathe new life into the Lake Martin community. For more information on visiting Lake Martin and Russell Lands, click here. |

YUIN PK3 Earbuds
" The PK3 is a great, warm earbud. It does vocals especially well because it is very mid-focused. It has impressive bass extension, not especially strong impact; the trebles are smooth and may roll off too soon for clarity and detail nuts. But the mids are what the PK3 are all about. " --kmhaynes

You've probably seen them: programs claiming to teach you how you can use SEO to boost your Google rankings and in turn build a successful internet business that runs on cruise control. All for the low price of $49.95.
While such programs almost always fall into the 'scam' category, there is truth to the notion that SEO can be a pathway to success. If you run any sort of website, chances are you need traffic, and SEO can deliver it. But there are some inconvenient truths about SEO that often get ignored, especially in 'newbie' circles. Here are six of them.
SEO takes time. Everyone loves the idea of instant rewards. Unfortunately, it's hard to find instant rewards in the world of SEO. In my opinion, any commitment of less than six months isn't a commitment at all because in competitive markets it's my experience that you shouldn't expect to see results that drive meaningful returns before then.
SEO is not fair. Paid links work and your competitors might be winning by using them in flagrant disregard of Google's 'rules'. But that's life in the world of SEO. Just as in life generally, some people break the rules, get away with it and prosper as a result. You can fret about this or focus on your own efforts.
Top SERPs aren't always possible. Hard work and patience can go a long way, but let's be honest: everybody in your market wants top SERPs for the valuable keywords. You all can't have them. Bottom line: there's only one top spot and only one person can get it.
SEO is not all about process. The mechanics of kicking a soccer ball are easy enough to understand. But chances are you're not Ronaldo. The same is sort of true of SEO. While you can learn the mechanics, from page structure to link building, there's something beyond the mechanics. The truth is that there are naturals who just have a natural talent for putting it all together and getting to the top of the SERPs.
SEO isn't a standalone marketing strategy. I cringe whenever somebody tells me that his marketing strategy is "viral marketing". Yet "SEO" isn't much better. Sure there are some people who use nothing more than SEO and whose websites bring in big bucks, but for the average person just starting out, SEO should be looked at as a potentially valuable part of a more comprehensive marketing strategy. That doesn't mean that, in the end, SEO can't represent more than 50% of where you spend your time and money, but depending on the nature of your business, paid search, display, email and offline techniques can all play a big role too and are worthy of consideration.
The last mile counts more than the first 99. The process of getting great SERPs can be a long, strenuous journey. But getting great SERPs isn't the end of this hundred miler. Success is based on what you do with those SERPs. So if you're in the business of generating leads, for instance, all the organic search traffic in the world won't do you an ounce of good if you're not converting, or converting but still leaving lots of money on the table. Bottom line: SEO done right delivers intent; the job of your website is to convince the user to take action.

A Quantum of Solace
Is time an illusion? Is there a universe, or multiverse? Finite or infinite? Will we ever know, and does it matter?
July 2, 2013, TuesdaySEARCH 1 ARTICLES ABOUT HIGGS BOSON:
The Higgs, From Theory to Reality
The long road to find the Higgs boson is littered with subatomic particle discoveries and canceled colliders, but it ends with a discovery and a theory validated nearly 50 years after the idea was born. (Related Article)
Collision Course
It was the longest, most costly manhunt in science for an elusive particle that was said to be key to the workings of the universe. For a generation of physicists, it was an appointment with history.
What Is the Higgs?
The Higgs field is hard to visualize but thinking about a field of fallen snow may help.

Come Follow Me - Young Women Lesson Helps
The First Presidency announced "Come, Follow Me", the new curriculum for youth, which will go into effect starting January 2013, and will be initially available in 23 languages. The new, Internet-based materials will help youth, parents and leaders to study and teach the Gospel in the Savior's way. The new lessons will require teachers, students and parents to think differently about teaching and learning in the Church. You can review the new materials here. The change will affect Young Men, Young Women and Sunday School lessons for youth. Parents, teachers and youth will have many questions about the new youth curriculum, Come, Follow Me. A new page with frequently asked questions is available and should cover many of those questions. You can also find additional information on Church News and Events and LDS.org. If any of your questions have not been answered please send your questions to

Learning Outline Survey - Kathryn writes, "In the Come, Follow Me youth curriculum, each month's topic has more suggested learning outlines than there are weeks available for teaching. We have been instructed to consult with the youth about which lessons would be most applicable to and beneficial for them. To facilitate this communication, I created "survey" or "poll" for each month. Each youth fills it out, and then the leaders use that information to determine what and when to teach. I also included an option where the youth can indicate willingness to teach all or part of a lesson. I posted three links on my blog to the Google doc containing surveys for each of the three youth programs for the rest of the year. Anyone who feels their youth would benefit from using this communication tool is welcome to download it."

Monday September 29, 2003
As promised on Friday, today, I will be announcing my 2003 Major League Baseball Award Winners. Last week, I gave out my Gold Glove choices. Today, I will announce my Managers of the Year, Rookies of the Year, and Cy Young Award choices. I lied a little bit though. I am going to wait until tomorrow to name my, maybe controversial MVP Award winners. I will also give out a couple other awards at that time, so be sure to check back tomorrow. These are some absolutely difficult decisions. I don't envy the voters who have to develop their ideas of what each means, sift through the statistics, and make their choices. So, without further ado, here are my award winners:
National League Manager of the Year
1.) |
Felipe Alou |
San Francisco Giants |
2.) |
Jack McKeon |
Florida Marlins |
3.) |
Dusty Baker |
Chicago Cubs |
Felipe Alou is the 2003 SethSpeaks National League Manager of the Year. Trader Jack McKeon is getting highly touted as the front-runner for this award, but I think that what Felipe Alou has done in San Francisco this year is amazing. If there is a one-man offensive team, it is the Giants, but somehow, Alou led the Giants to 100 wins. He fit good, but not exceptional, pieces around Barry Bonds (the likes of Grissom, Cruz, Durham, Alfonso, etc.). He had Jason Schmidt and Kirk Reuter, but also got solid performances from youngsters Jerome Williams and Jesse Foppert (as well as Damion Moss and Kurt Ainsworth, who wnet to the Orioles in a trade deadline deal for Sidney Ponson). Oh, and he didn't have his closer, Trevor Hoffman, the whole year.
I'd put Jack McKeon number two for the job he did coming into a bad situation in Florida and making it into a winner. They went from a team that seemed to look out for itself and really made them think with a team concept. He stuck behind his young players and let his veterans play.
Dusty Baker led a team, the Cubs, that lost 95 games a year ago and led them to the National League Central Division championship. A player's coach, Baker led a veteran group of players who had previously underachieved, and made them play together. I think his ranking on this list drops, for me, because the Cubs ownership made moves to put their team in the running for the title.
I would feel bad not even mentioning Atlanta's Bobby Cox. Look at what he did. They lost Tom Glavine and Kevin Millwood, yet had one of their best seasons. I know they're also a high payroll team, but sometimes it's just as difficult to manage a group of superstars like the Braves are.
American League Manager of the Year
1.) |
Tony Pena |
Kansas City Royals |
2.) |
Grady Little |
Boston Red Sox |
3.) |
Joe Torre |
New York Yankees |
Tony Pena is the 2003 SethSpeaks American League Manager of the Year. I think this one is a no-brainer. Tony Pena stepped into a mess in Kansas City and kept them in the AL Central race through mid-September. Not only did they win 83 games (meaning the clause in Mike Sweeney's contract will keep him in Kansas City), but it's how they did it. Sweeney was out of the lineup a lot, and Carlos Beltran is a great player, but from an offensive standpoint, that was about it. But Pena kept everybody ready and everyone chipped in. He started with a young, up-and-coming pitching staff and had them pitching with success and confidence. Then when GM Allard Baird, for some reason, decided to not go young and pick up pitching scraps (Jose Lima, Paul Abbott, Jamey Wright) and even won games that they pitched.
Grady Little's Red Sox team was an offensive juggernaut, scoring over 1,000 runs this season. Pedro Martinez, when he felt like pitching, was dominant. But, there were question marks in the bullpen and with the rest of the rotation. Also, Little had to deal with Manny Ramirez and I think he did well with the egos that some of the Red Sox have. Yes, he had an amazing offense, but to keep them together sometimes is difficult.
Like Little and Bobby Cox, Joe Torre deserves so much credit for keeping the Yankees circus rolling. He managed without Derek Jeter and Bernie Williams for extended periods of time. He dealt with George Steinbrenner's expectations. I just think Joe Torre deserves so much credit for making the Yankees what they are!
Ron Gardenhire probably will receive more credit from the national media than he does from Twins fans. But, Gardy did keep the team together through all the struggles of the first half.
National League Rookie of the Year
1.) |
Brandon Webb |
Arizona Diamondbacks |
2.) |
Scott Podsednik |
Milwaukee Brewers |
3.) |
Dontrelle Willis |
Florida Marlins |
This is probably an even easier decision than AL Manager of the Year. Brandon Webb is our 2003 SethSpeaks National League Rookie of the Year choice. He had a rough outing yesterday, but ends the season with a 10-9 record with an ERA of 2.84. Had the Diamondback had any offense at all, Webb could have won many more games. But, Webb was a very dominant pitcher. He struck out 172 batters in 180.2 innings, while walking just 68.
Milwaukee's Scott Podsednik isn't a flashy player at all, so he may not finish this high, but he deserves it. If Webb weren't in the picture, Podsednik would walk away with the award (in my opinion). In 154 games this year, he hit .314/.379/.443 with 29 doubles, 8 triples, 9 HR and 58 RBI out of the leadoff position. He scored 100 runs and stole 43 bases. Now, that's a pretty good leadoff hitter!
Dontrelle Willis is the media darling and will probably end up winning this award. And, in some years, he might even deserve it because he has had a very strong rookie campaign for the Florida Marlins. Willis was named to the All-Star roster this year after going 8-1 to start his careers. Willis went 14-6, with an ERA of 3.30. He struck out 142 and walked 58 in 160 innings. So, he's got a better Winning Percentage than Webb, but the rest of his numbers don't really compare (although, as I said, they are still great!).
Others worth mentioning - Florida's Miguel Cabrera was also a mid-season callup and really helped them toward the Wild Card championship. He hit .268/.325/.468, with 21 doubles, 12 HR and 62 RBI in just 87 games. Horacio Ramirez was the Braves 4th starter and performed very admirably. Although nowhere near as dominant as Webb or Willis, Horacio Ramirez ended the season with a 12-4 record and an ERA of 4.00. In his 29 starts, he pitched 182.1 innings, striking out 100 while walking 72. His record is because of the Braves offense, but his number show that he can be a solid major league pitcher.
American League Rookie of the Year
1.) |
Angel Berroa |
Kansas City Royals |
2.) |
Hideki Matsui |
New York Yankees |
3.) |
Mark Teixeira |
Texas Rangers |
Angel Berroa is the 2003 SethSpeaks American League Rookie of the Year. Angel Berroa was a pleasant surprise in the Royals surprise season. Playing 158 games at shortstop, the 26 year old Berroa improved defensively and with the bat as the season progressed. Berroa hit .287/.338/.451 with 28 doubles, 7 triples, 17 home runs. Berroa also stole 21bases in 26 attempts.
Hideki Matsui may not have had quite the standout season that many in baseball, and specifically in New York, expected, but he still had a very solid season in the middle of the Yankees lineup. Because of a rainout/tie, Matsui actually played in 163 games. He hit .287/.353/.435, with 42 doubles, 16 home runs and 106 RBI. Maybe he didn't hit the home runs that people expected, but those 42 doubles are pretty impressive!
Mark Teixeira started off very slow this season, but Buck Showalter stuck with him in the lineup and by early May, he was in the lineup every day. Originally that meant playing some 3B, learning the OF, then moving into 1B where he played most of the time. In 146 games, Teixeira hit .259/.331/.480 with 29 doubles, 5 triples, and 26 home runs with 84 RBI.
Others to mention - Tampa Bay's Rocco Baldelli had a very good rookie year. At the All-Star break, he may have been the front runner for this award. His numbers were: .289/.326/.416, with 32 doubles, 8 triples, 11 home runs and 78 RBI, also stole 27 bases and played a great centerfield. In 127 games, Cleveland OF Jody Gerut hit .279/.336/.494 with 33 doubles, 22 homers and 75 RBI. Had Gerut played more of the season with the Indians, he would probably be much further up on this list. He also is a very good left fielder. There were very few bright spots for the Detroit Tigers, but rookie OF Craig Monroe hit 23 homers and drove in 70 runs in just 128 games. He hit just .240 with an On-base percentage of .287. But that .449 slugging percentage is certainly something the Tigers can build upon!
National League Cy Young Award
1.) |
Eric Gagne |
Los Angeles Dodgers |
2.) |
Mark Prior |
Chicago Cubs |
3.) |
Jason Schmidt |
San Francisco Giants |
4.) |
Kevin Brown |
Los Angeles Dodgers |
5.) |
Russ Ortiz |
Atlanta Braves |
Eric Gagne is our 2003 SethSpeaks National League Cy Young Award choice. I know there are a lot of people who believe that a closer should not win the Cy Young Award because they can win the Rolaids Fireman of the Year award, but I am certainly not one of them. Can you name any of the past Fireman Winners? Twins fans, did you know that the 2002 American League Fireman of the Year winner was… Billy Koch. It's based on a formula, not anything else. I am of the opinion that a close would have to have a VERY special season to win ahead of a starter though. That is why I believe that Eric Gagne should be this years Cy Young Award winner. 55 saves in 55 save opportunities. 137 strikeouts in 82.1 innings (that's 14.98 K/9 IP). He finished 2-3 with a 1.20 ERA.
Mark Prior of the Chicago Cubs was as good as any other starting pitcher this year. He went 18-6 with a 2.43 ERA. In 211.1 innings, Prior struck out 245 batters, walking just 50.
Jason Schmidt of the San Francisco Giants had a very strong 2003. He was 17-5, with a 2.34 ERA. In 207.2 innings, Schmidt struck out 208 hitters, while walking just 46. (I rank Prior just barely ahead of Schmidt because of the extra win, but mainly just do to more strikeouts. Both have great numbers, and it's not taking anything away from Schmidt putting him one spot behind Prior. Consider them 2 and 2a on this list)
The Dodgers Kevin Brown was really a remarkable story in 2003. He hasn't been healthy since signing his $105 million contract with the Dodgers, but he was (for the most part) this year. This season, Brown went 14-9 with a 2.39 ERA. In 32 starts, Brown pitched 211 innings and struck out 185 batters, walking 56. Brown was the best of an impressive Dodgers pitching staff that kept the team in the race up until the final weekend of the season!
The Braves Russ Ortiz led the Braves with a 21-7 record. His ERA was 3.71. He certainly isn't as dominant as the above pitchers as shown by just 149 strikeouts in 212.1 innings. He also walked 102 batters. BUT, it is my opinion that part of the job of a starting pitcher is to give innings and keep your team in the ball game, and along with that comes Wins, and 21 wins is pretty impressive!
American League Cy Young Award
1.) |
Roy Halloday |
Toronto Blue Jays |
2.) |
Esteban Loaiza |
Chicago White Sox |
3.) |
Tim Hudson |
Oakland A's |
4.) |
Jamie Moyer |
Seattle Mariners |
5.) |
Pedro Martinez |
Boston Red Sox |
Roy Halloday is our 2003 SethSpeaks American League Cy Young Award winner. 22-7, 3.25 ERA. 266 innings pitched. 204 strikeouts. Just 32 walks! Roy Halloday did so much to warrant winning this award, but by eating up 266 innings in his 36 starts and completing 9 games also helped the team, specifically their bullpen.
One of the league's biggest surprises this season had to be White Sox righty Esteban Loaiza! The journeyman finally put together a full season of good pitching. He made 34 starts for the Sox, pitching 226.1 innings. He went 21-9, with a 2.90 ERA. His 207 strikeouts led the American League. Take away a couple of late-season, poor starts against the Minnesota Twins and Loaiza could have won this award.
Oakland A's righty Tim Hudson ate up some innings too. He threw 240 innings. He went 16-7, but had an ERA of just 2.70. He had 162 strikeouts while walking 61.
Jamie Moyer is a lot different from any of the other pitchers on these Cy Young lists. He's not at all a "dominant" pitcher, at least not in terms of strike outs. In 215 innings this year, Moyer had just 129 strikeouts. He even walked 66 batters. But, even with that, Moyer went 21-7 with a 3.27 ERA. Maybe not "dominant", but he certainly gets the job done and deserves recognition for a great season!
There is no pitcher in baseball more babied (or maybe as much of a baby) as Pedro Martinez. That said, there probably isn't a better, more dominant starting pitcher in baseball than Pedro Martinez. This year, Martinez made 29 starts for the Red Sox. He went 14-4 with a 2.22 ERA. In 186.2 innings, Pedro struck out 206 hitters, walking just 47 (and giving up just 7 homers). (NOTE - Wednesday night, Martinez and the Red Sox will match up against Tim Hudson and the Oakland A's, in what should be a great game!)
Again, be sure to check back tomorrow for my choices for American League and National League MVP, as well as a couple of other awards.
So, what are your thoughts on my choices for these awards? Agree? Disagree? Do you have other players you think should win? I'd love to hear your thoughts on them! E-mail me.
Well, the Twins went into Chicago for their meaningless series against the Tigers. The Tigers won 3 out of the 4 games to finish with (just?) 119 losses, staying out of the record book for most losses in a season. My thinking is that the Twins had leads when their starters were playing. The starters got a few more at bats and either stayed or got healthy. They should all be ready for the playoffs. Guys like Michael Cuddyer (who hit an 11th inning game-winning home run on Friday night), Lew Ford and Michael Ryan, who could be key reserves in the playoffs, each got plenty of at bats. The starting pitchers got their work in and all did well. Johan Santana threw 5 shutout innings. Brad Radke gave up 1 run in his 5 innings of work. Kyle Lohse gave up just 1 run in his 3 innings of work yesterday. Those three will start the games this week against the Yankees.
One question, which may or may not be fair is: did the Twins regulars get enough playing time since they clinched? Will they be sharp? Other playoff teams continue to play their starters. The Twins allowed themselves to lose 3 of 4 to the Tigers. Is that the way to go into the playoffs?
My opinion, as mentioned above, is that the starters did get their work in. They got some days off to recover from lingering injuries, then got back into the lineup and all got a few at bats the last few games to get ready.
Now they will be traveling to New York. They have a practice this morning at Yankees Stadium. It should be interesting to hear how the players handle the New York media this week. Here are the pitching matchups and schedules for the first three games of the series:
Tuesday 12:06 p.m. Central Time, on ESPN -
Johan Santana (12-3, 3.07) vs. Mike Mussina (17-8, 3.40)
Thursday 7:18 p.m. Central Time, on Fox -
Brad Radke (14-10, 4.49) vs. Andy Pettite (21-8, 4.02)
Saturday (Schedule still undetermined) -
Kyle Lohse (14-11, 4.61) vs. Roger Clemens (17-9, 3.91)
Tomorrow, I will write up a preview of the Twins/Yankees series, as well as provide some analysis and predictions for the other playoff series. If you'd like to contribute your thoughts on this series, send me an e-mail of what you think will happen, who the key players are, and what the Twins need to do to win!
Vikings 35, 49ers 7! Wow! I definitely did not predict that. I thought the Vikings would win, but to completely and utterly dominate the 49ers in every aspect of the game was a complete surprise to me, and I'm sure plenty of other Vikings fans and football people in general! That first half of football was as impressive as I can imagine the team could play. With veteran Gus Frerotte playing QB, the offense didn't miss a beat. The assumption is that the offense would be more conservative without Daunte Culpepper playing, but that was far from the case.
The Vikings game plan appeared to be to use their offensive line to establish dominance and run the ball down the 49ers throat, and they were very successful in doing so. Moe Williams had 44 yards rushing and Onterrio Smith added 43 yards, including a first quarter 5 yard TD rush, the first of his NFL career.
But, because of the ability to run, the Vikings were able to open up the field and make some big plays to their wide receivers. Obviously the star was Randy Moss, who collected 8 catches for 171 yards and 3 touchdowns! Rookie Nate Burleson had 3 catches for 54 yards, including a 24 yard TD which was the first of his pro careers.
The defense continues to amaze loyal Vikings fans who have stuck by the team, watching them the last few years when they couldn't stop anyone! Safeties Corey Chavous and Brian Russell each grabbed their 4th interceptions on the season. CB Brian Williams picked off his 2nd. Their 11 interceptions through their first four games is more than they have had in recent seasons!
The defensive line is really performing well! Yesterday, they had 4 sacks, including 2 from rookie Kevin Williams. But they continue to put pressure on opposing QBs, forcing some of those interceptions! Also, they, along with the linebackers, have done a great job of stopping the run!
All in all, a great performance by the whole Vikings team yesterday, as they improved to 4-0
As you can see from reading the above, the Vikings are getting huge contributions from a number of their rookies. Take a look at their 2003 draft, round-by-round and see how they did. Maybe Scott Studwell deserves a lot more credit than I'm sure he'll receive!
First Round - Kevin Williams - DT
Williams has played a lot already this season, splitting team between Defensive Tackle and Defensive End. He tallied his first 2 sacks of his career yesterday.
Second Round - EJ Henderson - LB
Like many rookies, Henderson is making his biggest mark on Special Teams where he has already made some big hits. But, he is also getting some playing time with the regular linebackers.
Third Round - Nate Burleson - WR
Put up such amazing receiving numbers in his career at Nevada-Reno, and he has shown why so far this year. With the injury to D'Wayne Bates, Burleson has been playing a lot. He started the season as the team's #3 receiver, but yesterday got his first start and his first touchdown reception.
Fourth Round - Onterrio Smith - RB
The self-proclaimed Steal of the Draft has done quite well when given the opportunity to spell Moe Williams. He still needs to block better, but when he touches the ball, good things happen, including his first NFL touchdown yesterday in the first quarter. Should continue to play more and more each week.
Fifth Round - Eddie Johnson - P
Won the punting job. Had a very good day yesterday, but still hasn't been spectacular. He will only get better! It's difficult for me to type anything about a punter, cuz, it's just not exciting. That said, he gets the job done!
Sixth Round - Michael Nattiel - LB
Nattiel probably plays the least of any of this year's draftees, but he has seen time on special teams and gets some late-game time on defense. Great for a 6th rounder though!
Seventh Round - Keenan Howry - WR
Howry is a big-play, speed guy, who is the Vikings punt returner. He's done quite well returning punts so far for the team. Still waiting for him to bust one open. Seems to have real good hands and instincts though!
What's next? Next Sunday, they will travel to Atlanta to battle the 1-3 Falcons, who will likely be without star QB Michael Vick still.
Do you have any thoughts on the Vikings game, or updated predictions of what you expect from the team? E-mail me.
So, through the first three weeks of the football season, I was looking pretty good in my weekly picks, leading the nine of us in overall record. I tried really hard not to get over-confident or brag too much. In Week 4, reality set in a little bit for me! I am currently just 7-6 on the week and have fallen out of first place. Not good at all. There are a couple of picks I wish I could have back, in retrospect. Why did I pick the Bills, without RB Travis Henry, to beat the Eagles? The Titans are my Super Bowl team, and yet I picked them to lose to the Steelers. Why? But the others I don't feel too bad about. I mean, I hope I never pick the Bengals to win! But, I also learned a lot from the ones I got wrong. The Browns are bad no matter who is at QB. The Falcons really need Michael Vick! The Cowboys aren't good, but they even made the Jets look really bad! Says a lot about the Jets. And, what happened to the Saints? Their same players from last year are back, and healthy, so how does their 55-21 lost to the Colts happen? Oh well. Here's the scenario for our 'pickers' heading into tonight's Packers/Bears game: If the Packers win, Aaron Gleeman will win the week with a record of 12-2! If the Bears somehow beat the Pack, Gleeman will be tied for first place, at 11-3, with Ben Jacobs and Mike Brasel. Be sure to check out the updated overall standings on our Football Picks page.

Let's start with a couple of unsettling tweets from @Lindy72:
Just talk to Tatar. He does not sound optimistic at all. Talked about going to Russia if he can't find an #nhl home. #RedWings #drwtc
His body language was telling me he thinks he is gone. #drwtc #RedWings
He said he will not to gr. #RedWings #drwtc
If that is true, count me on the #FireHolland bandwagon.
And then there is this from @wingsfrontman:
Daniel Alfredsson says he may wear No. 24.
Red Wings' Alfie saying goodbye to No. 11 - Sportsnet.ca
Classy move. All class.
That line picks up where they left off last year.

It's a nice story, as long as Tatar remains on this team that is.
