Christopher L. "Chris" Hayes (born February 28, 1979)[1] is an American political commentator. Hayes hosts All In with Chris Hayes, a weekday news and opinion television show on MSNBC. Hayes formerly hosted a weekend MSNBC show, Up with Chris Hayes.
Hayes was a frequent guest host and commentator on shows such as The Rachel Maddow Show and The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. He remains an Editor at Large of The Nation.[2]
On August 1, 2011, MSNBC announced that Hayes would host on Saturdays and Sundays a two-hour morning show, each going into depth on current issues.[3] The first airing of Up with Chris Hayes was September 17, 2011[4] and featured a live interview with former Speaker and current House minority leader Nancy Pelosi. On March 14, 2013, MSNBC announced that Hayes would begin broadcasting during the 8 p.m. weekdays slot on April 1. At 34 years old, he became the youngest host of a prime-time show on any of the country's major cable news channels.[5]
Early life[edit]
Hayes was born on February 28, 1979, in the Bronx,[6] the son of Roger and Geri Hayes. His Irish-American father moved to New York from Chicago as a Jesuit, attending seminary; he now works as an advocate for the NYC Department of Health. His Italian-American mother was a school teacher and now works for the NYC Department of Education.[7] He attended New York City's Hunter College High School,[8] and then attended Brown University for his undergraduate education, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy and worked with student theatre group Production Workshop along with classmate John Krasinski. He was raised Catholic.[9]
From 2006 through 2007, Hayes was a Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation Institute,[10] and a Contributing Writer for The Nation. On November 1, 2007, The Nation named him its Washington, D.C., Editor, succeeding David Corn. He is also currently a Senior Editor at In These Times, a labor-focused monthly magazine based in Chicago.
Hayes has written extensively on issues central to the liberal community, including what ails the Democratic Party in the post-9/11 era[11] and how the labor movement is changing.[12] He is also a regular contributor to the Chicago Reader, an independent weekly newspaper, where he covers local and national politics. Previously, Hayes was Adjunct Professor of English at St. Augustine College in Chicago.
Cable news[edit]
He guest-hosted The Rachel Maddow Show in July 2010, while Maddow was traveling in Afghanistan; Hayes often filled in for Maddow when she was absent. Hayes has also hosted other MSNBC shows such as The Ed Show, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. On November 5, 2010, MSNBC announced that Hayes would be filling in for Keith Olbermann during Olbermann's suspension; however, the network later backtracked after finding out that Hayes had also made political contributions—the issue over which Olbermann was being suspended.[13] Hayes credits Maddow with his becoming a host at MSNBC, saying "I absolutely would not be doing this if it weren't for her." [2]
On May 27, 2012, Memorial Day Weekend, Hayes made comments on air regarding the use of the word "heroism" as applied to American service members killed in action, stating that, "I feel... uncomfortable, about the word because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war. Um, and, I don't want to obviously desecrate or disrespect memory of anyone that's fallen, and obviously there are individual circumstances in which there is genuine, tremendous heroism, you know, hail of gunfire, rescuing fellow soldiers, and things like that. But it seems to me that we marshal this word in a way that is problematic. But maybe I'm wrong about that."[14] His remark generated widespread controversy.[15][16][17] Hayes initially defended his comment by urging people to watch what he had actually said,[18] but nonetheless apologized both on his blog [19] and on his June 2, 2012 show devoted a discussion to his comments and the disconnect between civilians and the military.[20]
On March 14, 2013, MSNBC announced that Hayes will take over the time slot formerly hosted by Ed Schultz who is moving to the weekends. Ratings lead for this very competitive hour is currently held by Bill O'Reilly of Fox News. According to The New York Times, the change was made in the hopes that the MSNBC can win a wider audience than it did with Schultz, an often blustering champion of the working class. Hayes is said to transition better to The Rachel Maddow Show because he is seen as just as policy-oriented as Maddow. "Chris has done an amazing job creating a franchise on weekend mornings," said Phil Griffin, the president of MSNBC. "He's an extraordinary talent and has made a strong connection with our audience." [21]
All In with Chris Hayes, Hayes's first primetime show, premiered Monday, April 1, 2013.[22]
Hayes' first book, Twilight of the Elites: America After Meritocracy was published by Crown Publishing Group in June 2012.[23] Kirkus Reviews called it "forcefully written" and "provocative."[24] Aaron Swartz described the book as "compellingly readable, impossibly erudite, and—most stunningly of all—correct".[25]
Personal life[edit]
Hayes is married to Kate A. Shaw, assistant professor of law at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.[26] Hayes and Shaw resided in Washington, D.C., until they moved to New York City, where All In with Chris Hayes is produced.[27] Their daughter, Ryan Elizabeth Shaw-Hayes, was born in November 2011.[28]
Hayes' brother Luke worked on Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign.[29]

Indian women given kitchen knives, chili to fend off rapists
MUMBAI (Reuters) – India's radical Hindu nationalist party governing Mumbai has handed out kitchen knives and chili powder to women following a gang rape in the capital New Delhi that ignited a national debate on the best way to tackle sex crimes.
The Shiv Sena party, an ally of the main opposition BJP, said it had handed out 21,000 knives with three-inch blades to women in the city and surrounding areas and plans to distribute 100,000.
Mumbai police said they were examining the knives and considering legal action.
"This is a symbolic gesture," said Shiv Sena spokesman Rahul Narvekar, adding that a knife shorter than six inches in length does not fit the definition of a weapon. The party also handed out small bags of chili powder – apparently to throw into an attacker's eyes.
"It's only to pass a signal to eve-teasers, anti-social elements and perpetrators of crime against women that women are empowered and they can take care of themselves," Narvekar said.
Eve-teasing is a euphemism for molesting women.
"Don't be afraid of using this knife if someone attacks you," Ajay Chaudhari, running the knife campaign, was quoted by the party newspaper, Saamana, as saying.

The knife is to cut the heart out after you blow the pervert away, and the pepper just make a really good seasoning, especially if you are running low on curry.

Baking with Ratios Not Recipes
Aug 9 2013
Macy's Scottsdale
7014 East Camelback Road Suite 5000
Scottsdale, AZ 85251
Grab your flour, eggs and butter and leave your recipe box behind as we explore the essence of the craft of cooking: ratios. Based on Michael Ruhlman's book Ratio, you'll learn in this class that you need not rely upon recipes to make great food. Simply remember proportions of ingredients to free yourself from books, recipe printouts and cards. From there you can improvise to make every dish your own. As Ruhlman puts it, "With [a] ratio, you don't have a single recipe, you have a thousand. Ratios are the launching point for infinite variations."
*Class bonus: Each participant will receive a copy of Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking, by Michael Ruhlman.
What To Expect:
Great cooking isn't about recipes—it's about techniques. In our classes you'll work together with other students in a fun, hands-on environment led by our professional chef instructors.

Reid outfits the modern outdoor human with durable clothing for work and play, stocking apparel, footwear, and safety products from top brands such as Carhartt and Wolverine. As the perennial workplace leg covering, the low-maintenance Dickies men's Original 874 work pant ($26.99) resists wrinkles and needs no love from irons and the Carhartt men's nylon jacket ($79.99) protects torsos with triple-stitched seams and a fleece lining that keeps limbs warm long after the sun clocks out. Women can stylishly traverse rugged terrain in a crimson-colored Carhartt polo shirt ($24.99), complete with a four-button front, side vents, and an anticurl collar. A selection of safety products from LED flashlights to the Dickies men's high-visibility utility vest ($33.99) serve as necessary accessories for walks in the nearest industrial park or extreme-runway fashion shows.
An eclectic inventory of celebratory combustibles lines the shelves inside each of Pro Fireworks' 10 Michigan storefronts. Each store appeals to clients' inner pyrotechnic with everything from fire fountains to artillery shells that launch into the clouds and bloom into fiery flowers, thundering like the rattling sabers of a thousand George Washingtons. The explosives emporium also hosts kid-friendly novelties, such as sparklers, snappers, and poppers.
T.C. Paintball gives wannabe warriors the opportunity to practice trigger pulling and ambushing with day-long paintballing passes. Armed with 500 colorful capsules and paint-spewing machinery, soldiers battle friends and enemies in the great indoors or traverse the natural elements in the flourishing outdoor battleground, which teems with sandbag walls, empty oil barrels, and motivational Patton lookalikes at every turn. Corporal casings can successfully shield themselves from incoming pellets with protective goggles and face masks that are included in the Groupon and should be worn throughout the day. Particularly trigger-happy gunners can visit the on-site store to restock ammunition, peruse guns, or hide from paint-splattered carpool moms.
Casks of award-winning vintages tempt guests at Bowers Harbor Vineyards, which earned Best of Class for its 2007 Cabernet Franc at the 2010 Michigan Wine & Spirits Competition, among multiple other awards and pleasantly slurred compliments. Surrounded by verdant hills near the lapping tongue of Lake Michigan, Proprietor Spencer Stegenga oversees the harvest, fermentation, and self-defense training of a delicious range of reds, whites, and sparkling wines, as well as hard cider. Visiting sippers can silence their thirstily jabbering tongues with Bowers' signature reds—the 2896 blend of merlot and cabernet franc, touched with a bit of cabernet sauvignon, or the Meritage blend, whose soft tannins create a smoothly quaffable mouthful. Or try the 2009 Rosé, redolent with the flavors of flowers, berries, and wine.
Two Lads Winery's grape-laden, sustainably farmed fields yield 11 wines in a variety of vintages, with a focus on dry reds and sparkling wines. The 1.5–2 hour visit starts with a tour of the 58-acre hilltop complex, during which guides explain the wine-making process using diagrams painted by children, before the tour moves to the 22-acre vineyard, where the grape connoisseurs teach about grape varieties and grape-milking techniques.

Heady Topper is by far one of my favorite beers ever sampled. I've had it probably over 20 times, very hard to get, but they always happen to show up at our beer tastings. I'm not a huge fan of the amount of yeast/sediment in the bottom, but if you pour it just right into a pint glass you can avoid most of the sludge. Very hoppy and very flavorful.

Page Content
David Ray Smith caused an accident that resulted in the death of the other driver. A few days after the accident, Smith told one of his passengers that the police had nothing on him as long as she did not talk to them. His comment that he would take care of any problem himself or have someone else take care of it was interpreted by the passenger as a threat, and she was not initially cooperative with the police. She did eventually tell the police about the circumstances of the accident and the statements that Smith made to her. A jury convicted Smith of involuntary manslaughter, witness intimidation, and reckless driving.
At sentencing, the trial court assessed 15 points for Offense Variable 19, finding that Smith "used force or the threat of force against another person or the property of another person to interfere with, attempt to interfere with, or that results in the interference with the administration of justice . . . ." The court calculated the minimum sentence guidelines to call for a minimum sentence on the manslaughter conviction between 50 and 125 months. The court imposed a sentence of 10 to 22 years in prison for the manslaughter conviction, concurrent with a term of five to 15 years for witness intimidation. A separate judgment of sentence was prepared for the reckless driving charge. In an unpublished per curiam opinion, the Court of Appeals affirmed Smith's convictions, but remanded the case to the trial court for resentencing, finding error in scoring OV 19 under
People v McGraw
, 484 Mich 120 (2009). In
, the Supreme Court held that "[o]ffense variables are properly scored by reference only to the sentencing offense except when the language of a particular offense variable statute specifically provides otherwise." In this case, the Court of Appeals held, the manslaughter offense was complete before Smith attempted to dissuade the witness from speaking to the police; therefore, Smith's later conduct could not be considered in scoring OV 19. The prosecutor appeals.

Carlsbad, California
Carlsbad is a beach town in the northern portion of San Diego County. When you move into your Carlsbad apartment, know you'll be joining the other 95,000 residents of one of the most upscale, scenic and thriving cities anywhere in California. The name Carlsbad comes from the Czech town of Karlsbad because the two cities share a similar spa quality water source. As with most California cities, you'll want to think about owning a car. With San Diego and Los Angeles both a short distance away, you'll want to be mobile.
Beaches That Can't Be Beat
Aside from phenomenal beaches, Carlsbad is also home to the Lego Theme Park, the only one in the U.S. The Carlsbad Mineral Spa has magnificent baths, while Carlsbad Village is a haven for shopping, nightlife and a weekly farmer's market. Olde Carlsbad is the historic area as well as being one of the most diverse areas in the city. The sports enthusiast will find Carlsbad sheer heaven. Between the beaches, the trails for biking and running, and such world class golf clubs and resorts, like La Costa, there will never be a lack of sports venues. Whether your Carlsbad apartment is near the beach or in the hills, the lifestyle here is just fantastic.
Meet Captain Keno
While you may want to go to San Diego for the odd dinner here and there, there's no reason to leave town. From Captain Keno's for breakfast, and Pelley's Cafe and Fish Market, you'll find the locally owned places are terrific. West Steak and Viglucci's are both more upscale places where the ambiance equals the superb menus. There will certainly be good places near your Carlsbad apartment but Bellefluer, KoKo Beach, or even Ruby's Diner are great places to start your first meals in town.
Coyotes After Dark
At night, there are plenty of places to have a cold one and some fun. Most folks in town really like Coyote Bar, where it is lively no matter what night of the week it is. The Ocean House has dining AND dancing while Altitude is strictly music with a good d.j.Smaller pubs and bars are abundant and there's bound to be a good one close to home!

I've got dogs. What are the best places in Carlsbad for being outdoors with pets?
One of the best places to be outdoors with dogs in Carlsbad is, without a doubt, the city's dog park. Ann D. L'Heureux Dog Park is located near Larwin Park and features a trail connection to Hidden Canyon Park. There are other parks in Carlsbad, including Fire Mountain Park, but dogs must be kept on leash in these other areas. The beaches are also a good choice--as in all public places, just remember to clean up after your pets.

From classic landscape paintings and studio furniture to neon sculpture, art quilts, and architectural glass, the museum's galleries are redesigned for each exhibit.

Josh Burrows Performance Athletic Center
"If we were going to go back again we needed to develop players equal to or better than the competition," Burrows said. "[This was] going to be done by building a better athlete through conditioning, nutrition, approved supplements and body work." Besides being a staple in the progress of the strength and conditioning program, Burrows served as the inspiration and namesake when it came time to build a facility where these beneficial practices could take place. Construction began on the Josh Burrows Performance Athletic Center in 2006. |

MUNFORDVILLE — Is John Hardin becoming the new North Hardin on the hardwood? It certainly appears that way.
The Trojans dominated the 5th Region for a number of years. They have 12 region championship trophies to prove it. They were the envy of most schools in the region. Their dominance was never more evident than winning the title five times in a span of six years from 1998-2003.

Jokewood Font by Fontalicious
When you take a fancy woodcut 1800's typeface like Zebrawood and give it a 1990's twist, you get the preceding font. An original idea from my brain to your computer. If your hometown hosts a carnival, a freak show, or a bake sale, this would be an ideal letterset to use on the flyers.
Please e-mail me updates and font release news!

@lubhz I completely agree with you. You should check Indy Car's youtube page as they've uploaded lots of classic races. The '92 Mid-Ohio race is chock-full of great names and beautiful cars (with even better liveries!).

I think the Button/Massa one only had one vote.

@lubhz You mean the crackling noise? It's fantastic! Wasteful? Quite the opposite! Using exhaust gases to improve performance is nothing new, turbochargers for example.

Henry V,
Does your Talos or Aegis products have any food coloring or titanium Dioxide in it? Are the capsules clear, or colored or white? I am allergic to this stuff and asthmatic, bad combo. I can't take a chance. Even though it is not listed on your label, I find many products nowadays don't list it.
Thanks in advance. your product looks great. Let me know.
We are all here to help and respond quickly to any inquiries.

Breeze Sea
Most comfortable flipflop ever and goes with most everything!
My third pair! I wear them daily in South Beach and always am comfortable in them. Great for walking and bicycling.
March 4, 2014
Best Sandal EVER!!
Over the last couple of years I have purchased this sandal in every color they have. When I received the first pair a couple of years ago, I couldn't believe how comfortable they were right out of the box! I can actually walk in these all day! I rushed back and bought a few more at a time until I now have them all. I love the colors and I am hoping they come out with a Lilac shade of purple. That would make the collection complete. I receive compliments on them every time I wear them. I hope they never stop making this style. It is a very classy looking flip flop...a step up from the usual...and oh so comfortable!! They look great with shorts, capris, or casual skirts. Once you try one, you will want it in all the colors! Don't hesitate...you will love this sandal!
February 27, 2014
my favorite clarks shoe
I already own three pairs and had to have the teal pair this year. I broke my left foot several years ago making it difficult to find comfortable shoes because my left foot swells. These flip flops are great because I can adjust the left shoe as necessary through the day. I do have wide feet, but these fit perfectly. Thank you Clarks! Please keep making these ! LOVE THEM !
February 25, 2014
LOVE these
I have two pair of white ones from last year and they get dirty quickly, and I wash them by hand and they still look new afterward... this year I bought two pair of black,,, much easier maintenance... all of them are fantastically comfortable...and last good, fit perfect.. hope they never stop making them. Saw some others that were also attractive and would have purchased them but NOT for the much higher price. Doesn't do any good to manufacture something and charge so much people can't afford them,,, these at $50 are pretty high already for a casual thong..
February 13, 2014
Love these- buy a pair every year
I love these sandals because there is twill between my toes instead of leather which is less irritating. I love the support my back gets. This is the fourth year I have bought this similar sandal from Clarks and have bought two pair so far this year and it is only January! They do wear out, but they are oh so comfortable. I love the bright colors!!!
January 28, 2014
Attractive flip-flop
The shoe looks great on and fits well. I have a tiny, but wide foot with a high in-step. Any shoe that fits my foot and is still comfy is a great buy. I needed a quick on/off shoe, but didn't want to sacrifice style (most "flip-flops" are, frankly, ugly and cheap looking). I plan to wear these daily as soon as the weather permits.
January 28, 2014
She love it.
My wife like it bcos she feel comfortable walking in it in Ghana west Africa.
January 8, 2014
Love these sandals
Long lasting sandals. I have a pair that was from several seasons ago and they last a long time. Love the color. Very comfortable and cushiony. You can adjust width if needed but I have not had to. I wear my sandals almost everyday. My favorite pair of shoes. Quick shipping. Received order sooner than I expected.
January 3, 2014
Great flip flops
These are very comfortable flip flops. This particular pair was purchased as a gift for my sister. We have both owned these shoes previously and found them to be great shoes. After my sister had her previous pair for several years they finally needed to be replaced and she definitely wanted to replace with the same shoe because she loved them so much.
December 30, 2013
Very good
These are really comfortable, you can walk all over in them and they are really well cushioned and supporting, you can even get them wet and full of sand and they are fine, good fit.
December 29, 2013
The Perfect Thong
Upscale, adjustable, off-the-charts comfortable thong. I now own 3 pairs in colors to accent my wardrobe. Essential for comfort in tropical climates!
December 22, 2013
Most comfortable flip flops I own!! I now have 2 pairs!
These are beautiful and most comfortable. Offer support and style and will be perfect for my winter vacation to Florida. I also have the red pair which I love.
December 18, 2013
Love these sandals
Love these sandals. I have them in every color and I even have back up pairs. Please don't ever discontinue them.
December 6, 2013
Awesome product
These are the most comfortable flip flop sandals I've ever worn. Love them so much I introduced my mom to them. She loves them to.
October 8, 2013
Good purchase
Comfortable walking shoe--insole absorbs bumps experienced when walking. Adjusts well for narrow feet. Heel height is good-- you have a thong without being flat. Dressy enough for sun dresses, but fine with shorts!

Sean Michael Maurice Taylor (April 1, 1983 – November 27, 2007) was an American college and professional football player who was a free safety for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL) for four seasons. He played college football for the University of Miami, was a member of the Hurricanes' 2001 BCS National Championship team, and earned unanimous All-American honors. The Washington Redskins chose Taylor with the fifth overall pick of the 2004 NFL Draft.[1] Due to his ferocious hits,[2] several of his Redskins teammates nicknamed him "Meast," a portmanteau word from the expression "half man, half beast."[3][4]
Taylor died at the age of 24 on November 27, 2007, from critical injuries from a gunshot by intruders at his Miami area home.[5] His death led to an outpouring of national support and sympathy, especially in the Washington, D.C. area, where Taylor had been a fan favorite as a Redskin,[6] and the Miami area, where Taylor had starred for the Miami Hurricanes, after leading Gulliver Prep to a Florida state high school championship and setting a state record for most touchdowns in a season (44).
In honor of Taylor, on the first play of the first game after he was murdered, the Redskins defense lined up against the Buffalo Bills without a free safety, the position Taylor had traditionally played.[7]
Early years[edit]
Sean Taylor was born in Florida to Pedro Taylor, a policeman, and Donna Junor. He spent his early years growing up with his great-grandmother Aulga Clarke in Homestead, Florida and later moved to his father's home at the age of 10. He grew up in a low-income neighborhood in Miami, on a street lined with candy-colored houses.[8]
Taylor played high school football in Pinecrest, a suburb of Miami. He originally began his high school football career at Miami Killian High School, a Class 6A public school, but transferred to Gulliver Preparatory School, a Class 2A prep school, where he could play both offense and defense. Despite missing the first game of the season (the team's only loss), he helped Gulliver win the Florida Class 2A State Championship in 2000 with a 14–1 record. Taylor was a star on both sides of the ball during that season, playing running back, defensive back and linebacker.[9] He rushed for 1,400 yards and a state-record 44 touchdowns and on two separate occasions, rushed for more than 200 yards during Gulliver's state playoff run. He also compiled more than 100 tackles during the season and scored three touchdowns (two receiving, one rushing) in the state title game victory over Marianna High School.
Taylor was considered the No. 1 prospect in Miami-Dade County by the Miami Herald. He was also rated the nation's No. 1 skill athlete and an All-American by Super Prep. Taylor was also an Orlando Sentinel Super Southern Team selection, the No. 1 athlete on the Florida Times-Union Super 75 list and rated the No. 1 player in Florida by The Gainesville Sun.
In 2007 he was also named to the Florida High School Association All-Century Team, which selected the Top 33 players in the 100-year history of high school football in the state. After his death, Taylor was honored at Gulliver by a plaque that was placed in the school's cafeteria.[10] The football field at Gulliver Prep was renamed Sean Taylor Memorial Field on September 5, 2009.
College career[edit]
2001 season[edit]
Taylor was recruited to play for coach Larry Coker's Miami Hurricanes football at the University of Miami, and he carved a niche for himself in Miami's secondary in nickel and dime defensive schemes as a freshman (he was one of just four true freshmen to play for the team). During the season, Taylor was named Big East Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against the Pittsburgh Panthers.[9] The Hurricanes won the national championship in 2001, their fifth national championship since 1983.
2002 season[edit]
In 2002, his first season as a starter, Taylor was a second-team All-Big East selection by the league's head coaches. He finished third on the team in tackles with 85 (53 solo), broke up 15 passes, intercepted 4 passes, forced one fumble, blocked one kick and returned a punt for a touchdown. He led all Miami defensive backs in tackles, interceptions and passes broken up, and had a career-high 11 tackles (2 solo) and intercepted 2 passes in the Fiesta Bowl loss to Ohio State. One interception occurred on an infamous play where he was stripped by Maurice Clarett on the return, allowing the Buckeyes to retain possession.
2003 season[edit]
Taylor produced a historic season during his final year at Miami that culminated with a plethora of honors and awards. He was named a unanimous first-team All-American, the Big East Conference Defensive Player of the Year and a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, given to the nation's best defensive back. He led the Big East Conference and ranked first nationally in interceptions with 10, tying the record for interceptions in a season with former Hurricanes standout Bennie Blades. Taylor also finished first in total tackles with 77 (57 solo). He intercepted two passes in Miami's impressive 28-14 win over Pittsburgh, playing a key role as the Hurricanes limited All-American receiver Larry Fitzgerald to just three receptions for 26 yards. He returned interceptions for an average of 18.4 yards, including a 67-yard touchdown return at Boston College, a 50-yard scoring runback at Florida State and a 44-yard scoring runback against Rutgers University. His three touchdown returns of interceptions is a Miami single-season record.
Professional career[edit]
2004 NFL draft[edit]
Following his 2003 season, Taylor announced that he was entering the NFL draft. Taylor was drafted in the first round (fifth overall) by the Washington Redskins. He also was the first University of Miami player drafted in 2004, which was somewhat surprising since most experts thought former Hurricanes tight end Kellen Winslow II would be the first selection. Winslow was drafted right after Taylor by the Cleveland Browns.
The drafting of Taylor by the Redskins in the first round began an NFL Draft record where an unprecedented six players from the University of Miami were drafted in the first round (the other five players were Kellen Winslow II, Jonathan Vilma, D. J. Williams, Vernon Carey and Vince Wilfork).

Washington Redskins[edit]
Following his selection by the Redskins, Taylor signed a seven-year, $18 million contract with the team.[9] However, problems soon began for Taylor as he fired his agent and then skipped part of the NFL's mandatory rookie symposium, drawing a $25,000 fine. Over his first three seasons, Taylor also was fined at least seven times for late hits, uniform violations and other infractions.
2004 rookie season[edit]
On the field during the 2004 season, Taylor was successful, emerging as the Redskins' starting free safety by the third game of his rookie year. Starting the remaining 13 games of the season, Taylor finished the year with 89 tackles, two forced fumbles, one sack, 9 passes defended and 4 interceptions (second-highest on the team).
2005 season[edit]
Before the season started, Taylor switched his jersey number from #36 to #21 after the cornerback who had worn number 21 the year before. Fred Smoot, a close personal friend of Taylor, had left the team and signed with the Minnesota Vikings. Taylor kept the number when Smoot rejoined the Redskins in 2007, with Smoot opting to wear #27 (his number from Minnesota).
Taylor continued his effective play in the 2005 season, finishing with 70 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 2 interceptions, 10 passes defended and 1 fumble returned for a touchdown.
Taylor, along with fellow University of Miami and Redskins teammate Clinton Portis, was fined $5,000 in the home game against the Philadelphia Eagles for violating the NFL dress code by wearing socks that did not match the Redskins' standard uniform.
Taylor had ups and downs during a January 7, 2006 wild card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although he scored a touchdown that proved to be the Redskins' game-winning touchdown, he was ejected after spitting at Buccaneers running back Michael Pittman. He was subsequently fined $17,000, the amount of his game bonus check.
2006 season[edit]
In 2006 Sean Taylor finished the year leading the Redskins' defense with 129 tackles and also had 1 interception, 6 passes defended and 3 forced fumbles.
During the season, Washington Redskins assistant coach Gregg Williams frequently called Taylor the best athlete that he had ever coached.[5]
In Week 9, Taylor returned a blocked Mike Vanderjagt field goal into Dallas Cowboys territory and was awarded a 15-yard penalty after Kyle Kosier grabbed his facemask. This set up the winning field goal by Nick Novak.
Three weeks later in Week 12, Taylor had his best game of the season against the Carolina Panthers.[12] Though he played well throughout the game, his presence was felt most sharply in the final minutes in which he made a key 4th-down tackle to prevent a 1st down and intercepted Jake Delhomme to seal the victory. He earned NFL Defensive Player of the Week honors following the game.
Even while playing on a struggling Redskins defensive unit, Taylor's impact on the field was recognized when he was named a first alternate to the NFC's 2007 Pro Bowl team. When the NFC's first choice for safety, Brian Dawkins of the Philadelphia Eagles, chose not to play in the Pro Bowl due to an injury, Taylor was named to the vacated spot, marking his first and only Pro Bowl appearance. A crushing hit by Taylor on Buffalo Bills punter Brian Moorman in the Pro Bowl created much fan and media discussion.[13]
2007 season[edit]
Prior to the start of the 2007 season, Sports Illustrated named Taylor the hardest-hitting player in the NFL.[14]
Before the season, in a rare interview, he was quoted as saying, "[Y]ou play a kid's game for a king's ransom. And if you don't take it serious enough, eventually one day you're going to say, 'Oh, I could have done this, I could have done that.'" The season appeared to represent a personal turnaround for Taylor, as teammates said that he had finally gotten his life straightened out because of his daughter.[15]
Also before the season, the Redskins decided to use Taylor in a more traditional free safety role with less responsibility.[16]
At the time of his death, Taylor was tied for the most interceptions in the National Football Conference and second in the league with 5 despite having missed Weeks 11 and 12 with a knee injury. Playing at a high level,[16] Taylor had also compiled 42 tackles, 9 passes defended and a forced fumble.
On December 18, 2007, Taylor was posthumously voted to his second Pro Bowl, becoming the first deceased player in NFL history to be so elected to the Pro Bowl. During the Pro Bowl, Chris Samuels, Chris Cooley and Ethan Albright wore Taylor's #21 jersey to honor him. Like the Redskins had done earlier in the season, the NFC lined up with just one safety on the first play of the game.[17]

Legal issues[edit]
Following Taylor's early departure from the University of Miami and his drafting by the Redskins, a number of criminal troubles plagued Taylor's NFL career, including:
2004 DUI arrest in Virginia[edit]
Taylor was arrested in Fairfax County, Virginia at 2:45am on October 27, 2004 for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol following a birthday party in Washington for former Redskins receiver Rod Gardner. Pulled over for driving 82 mph on the Beltway, where the speed limit is 55 mph, Taylor failed a field sobriety test and then refused a blood alcohol (BAC) test, which resulted in his arrest.[19] A Fairfax County judge acquitted Taylor of the charges in March 2005 after viewing a videotape of Taylor's roadside sobriety tests that, according to the judge, failed to demonstrate obvious intoxication. Taylor was, however, convicted for refusing to take a blood alcohol test requested by a Virginia state police officer.[20] But when this case was heard on appeal in March 2005, Taylor was acquitted of refusing to take the BAC test, with the judge ruling there was a lack of probable cause for the request.[21]
2005 Aggravated assault arrest in Miami[edit]
Events: On June 3, 2005, Taylor was named publicly as a "person of interest" by Miami-Dade County police in regard to a Miami assault case involving firearms, and was being sought for questioning. "We need to speak to him, we don't know if he's a victim, witness or suspect," Miami-Dade police spokesman Mary Walters said. Taylor allegedly was present at, and possibly involved in, an incident on June 1 in which bullets allegedly were fired into a stolen vehicle.[22]
On June 5, ESPN and the Miami Herald both reported that Taylor, accompanied by his lawyer, had surrendered to Miami-Dade police at approximately 10pm EST on June 4 at the Cutler Ridge district police station, from which he was transported to the Turner Guilford Knight correctional facility. He was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm (a felony) and misdemeanor battery. Miami-Dade police issued a statement the same day confirming the earlier reports. Taylor had allegedly pointed a gun at a person over a dispute over two ATVs that he claimed were stolen.
The Associated Press reported that Taylor was held in detention at Turner Gilford Knight and released the evening of June 4 after posting bond of $16,500. The Miami-Dade County Clerk's Office announced that he would soon be officially arraigned on the charges.[23]
The Washington Post reported on March 3, 2006 that Taylor's trial had been postponed until April 10. Days before that date, the trial was moved back once more, this time by a week, because of conflicts with Passover and Easter celebrations.[citation needed]
Aggravated assault plea agreement and resolution[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2008) |
On January 28, 2006, the Miami-Dade County prosecutor announced that he was filing new charges against Taylor, which would have increased his potential maximum state prison time from 16 years to 46 years. The new charges included increasing his felony assault charges from one to three, which reflected the allegation that, on June 1, 2005, he brandished a firearm at three individuals who Taylor believed stole two all-terrain vehicles from him.
On April 17, the trial was again postponed until May 8, after the prosecutor in the case asked the presiding judge to be removed from the case. The county prosecutor's request for removal from the case came as Taylor's defense. Lawyers argued that the prosecutor was using the case to promote his side work as a disc jockey in South Beach. Defense lawyers for Taylor entered a motion for the case's complete dismissal, due to prosecutorial misconduct.[24]
On May 8, the prosecution requested and received another extension of the case, citing the new prosecutor assigned to the case and a need for additional preparation time. The trial was scheduled to begin July 10 in Miami, but on June 2 the charges against Taylor were dropped as part of a negotiated plea bargain.[25] Taylor donated his time to various charities and made $1,000 donations to 10 southern Florida schools in scholarships. In exchange, would avoid jail time and a felony record.[26]
Taylor's house had been burglarized in his absence on November 18, 2007. Media reports briefly described the police reports of the circumstances surrounding the first burglary. Among the details noted were that the intruders pried open a window to climb into the home, went through the desk and safe that were located in Taylor's bedroom, also damaged an air conditioning unit. This report had been made by Taylor's mother, who had checked on the home and discovered the burglary. The police report did not specify if anything was stolen from the home, presumably because his mother would not know the contents of the desk or safe located in his bedroom.[27]
Eight days after the original burglary, on November 26 at 1:45 a.m. EST, Taylor was shot in the upper leg by an armed intruder at his home in Palmetto Bay, Florida, where he had been recuperating from a football injury. His femoral artery was hit and severed, causing a mortal wound. His longtime girlfriend, Jackie Garcia (a niece of actor Andy García), hid under the bedding with their 18-month-old daughter Jackie.[28] Garcia then called 9-1-1 from her cell phone.[9][29]
Taylor was airlifted to the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, where he underwent surgery. He emerged from surgery about 12:30 p.m. He had lost a significant amount of blood and remained in a coma. His doctors speculated he may have suffered brain damage due to the blood loss, and an unnamed Redskins source reported that Taylor's heart stopped twice during the emergency surgery.[9] After three hours, on November 27, Taylor died at the hospital at 3:30 a.m.[29][30][31] The news was released to the media by Richard Sharpstein, a family friend who learned the news from Taylor's father around 5:30 a.m., and by Drew Rosenhaus, Taylor's agent.[32]
On November 30, Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Miami-Dade police detained four people in the Fort Myers area for questioning in connection with Taylor's death. The Miami Herald reported that investigators believe the four learned of Taylor's house through someone who unwittingly set up the burglary by bragging about his wealth. Later that night, Miami-Dade police spokeswoman Linda O'Brien announced that four men—Venjah K. Hunte, 20; Eric Rivera, Jr., 17; Jason Scott Mitchell, 19; and Charles Kendrick Lee Wardlow, 18—had been arrested and charged with Taylor's murder. Police director Robert Parker added that authorities had more than one confession but would not elaborate.[33]
All four men were charged on December 1 with felony second-degree murder, armed burglary and home invasion robbery with a firearm or another deadly weapon, charges carrying a maximum of life in prison.[34] Around 2:30pm on May 13, 2008, a fifth suspect—16-year-old Timothy Brown—was arrested in connection with the murder. On May 14, Brown was charged with first-degree murder and armed burglary of an occupied dwelling.[35] All murder charges were subsequently moved up to first-degree murder.[36] In addition, it turned out that three of the suspects in Taylor's murder were involved in the November 18 burglary. The death penalty, however, was not sought because the gunman was the 17-year old Rivera.
Law enforcement theories[edit]
Police detectives who examined the evidence and the crime scene had suggested that Taylor was the victim of professional thieves who were armed and dangerous.[37] Taylor's family, friends and Sharpstein, who were most aware of the factual circumstances surrounding the two break-ins, agreed with that contention.[38] They pointed to the following known facts, none of which suggested a plot to specifically target Taylor but which combined to suggest he was the innocent victim of professional thieves who assumed the home would be empty:
- Very few people in the region, not even Taylor's father, knew that Taylor was at home.
- The intruders made lots of loud noises prior to attempting to break down Taylor's door, suggesting that they did not think the home was occupied.
- Taylor was shot in the leg, which could mean the attacker(s) had no intent to kill him. They may not have expected Taylor to be in his bedroom so they shot because they were surprised to see him and/or because Taylor had a weapon of his own, a machete
Disproven rumors[edit]
In the immediate aftermath of Taylor's death, speculation on the Internet and within the media suggested that the details surrounding Taylor's death were especially sinister. Among the rumors were:
- That a knife was left on Taylor's bed during the November 18 intrusion as a "message." Sharpstein recently clarified that the knife was a kitchen knife used by the intruders to pry things open during the first invasion and was tossed aside on the bed of Taylor's sister.[38]
- That the phone lines to Taylor's home had been cut prior to the November 27 invasion in which he was shot. This was refuted by police investigators, who clarified that the residential phone simply was not working.[38]
- That the intruders did not steal or intend to steal anything during either invasion of Taylor's home. The first police report did not address whether anything was stolen from Taylor's home. Although the police report mentioned that the desk and bed in Taylor's bedroom were rifled through, it did not specify if anything was stolen, presumably because when his mother filed the police report Taylor was not present to indicate if any of his belongings had been taken.[39][40]
Media reaction and controversy[edit]
There has been criticism by some of the way in which Taylor's death was covered by the media.[41] Among the criticisms were that unsubstantiated statements by then Arizona Cardinals safety Antrel Rolle about individuals from Taylor's past who despised him for no longer associating with them garnered as much attention as did the observations of experienced police detectives.
There was also a backlash against the pigeonholing of Taylor as a stereotypical victim of black-on-black gun violence and characterizing him as a troubled youth who was headed toward certain destruction because of his past transgressions, while ignoring the circumstances surrounding his death.[42]
Memorial service[edit]
On December 3, 2007, 4,000 people attended Taylor's funeral service held in Pharmed Arena at Florida International University. The entire Redskins organization attended the funeral and took up a section of the arena, traveling the day after a home game against the Buffalo Bills and two days before another home game against the Chicago Bears.
Speakers at the nationally televised funeral service included NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, then-Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs, and current and former professional or collegiate teammates LaVar Arrington, Clinton Portis and Buck Ortega. Reverend Jesse Jackson and O. J. Simpson, whose children went to Gulliver Prep, Taylor's high school, were in attendance. Also attending were numerous prominent University of Miami alumni, including former teammates.
Many of Taylor's teammates wept throughout the emotional service. Taylor's daughter Jackie sat in front with her mother, and wore a pin with her father's jersey number 21 on the sleeve of her dress. In one of the eulogies, Taylor's uncle Michael Outar told the audience, "I wanted him to play running back or quarterback and score all the touchdowns. The coach gave Sean number 66 and put him on the line. Before the game he said, 'Uncle Michael, what do I do?' I said, 'Hit the guy with the ball.' And that's what he did, over and over."
Taylor was buried near his Palmetto Bay home.
National Football League[edit]
The NFL recognized the death of Taylor by placing a #21 decal on the back of all NFL players' helmets during all Week 13 games; additionally, a moment of silence was held before each game that week. Players on other teams were given the option to continue wearing the decals in subsequent weeks.
Taylor was posthumously voted starting free safety for the NFC team for the 2008 Pro Bowl and voted a second team All-Pro.[43] During their first defensive play, the NFC defense took the field with only 10 players in honor of Taylor.[44]
Washington Redskins[edit]
The Redskins had the number 21 painted on the field, at a parking lot entrance and in the Redskins Ring of Fame, all three of which became temporary memorials. In addition to the black #21 sticker on the back of every NFL helmet, the Redskins also wore the number as a patch on player uniforms, warmup shirts and coaching staff jackets, as well as unveiling a banner bearing his name and number. His locker at Redskins Park was encased in Plexiglas and left the same way Taylor had left it. The organization also established a trust fund for Taylor's daughter, Jackie.[45]
The first Redskins game after Taylor's death, on December 2, 2007 against the Buffalo Bills, was at FedEx Field. The game began with the Redskins defense playing with 10 men on the field instead of the usual 11.[46] Players signaled to the sky, holding up the numbers two and one, on numerous occasions. The team requested everyone arrive 25 minutes before the start of the game at 12:40pm and played a four-minute remembrance video, held a moment of silence and gave attendees commemorative towels with Taylor's number on them in his honor and memory.
The Redskins had a 5–6 record at the time of Taylor's murder. Following his funeral and the loss to the Bills, they won a Thursday night game against the Chicago Bears three days later. Washington went on a four-game winning streak to close out the season, which included a 27–6 home victory over division rival Dallas Cowboys in front of a record crowd to finish 9–7 and secure the final spot in the playoffs. With this win, the team became only the fourth team during the Super Bowl era to qualify for the playoffs following a 5–7 start. However, the Redskins lost to the Seattle Seahawks by 21 points during the first week of the playoffs.
Teammates Chris Cooley, Chris Samuels and Ethan Albright all wore jerseys with No. 21 during the 2008 Pro Bowl.[47] The three jerseys were auctioned off and the proceeds donated to the Sean Taylor Memorial Trust Fund.
Taylor's number 21 has not been reissued by the team. It is not known at this time if it has been removed from circulation as being "unofficially retired," as the Redskins do not retire jersey numbers. When O.J. Atogwe, who wore number 21 with the Rams, signed with the Redskins, he said that he would not take number 21.
At the Redskins game against the New York Giants on November 30, 2008, Clinton Portis ran down the field with a flag in the team's colors with the number 21 on it to honor the anniversary of Sean Taylor's death. They also painted the middle of the field with the number 21 instead of the Redskins symbol.
Although originally scheduled for April 7, 2008, the trial of the men charged with Sean Taylor's murder was postponed to June 2009.[48] The trial was postponed by petition of the defense, saying that there were still hundreds of potential witnesses who needed to be interviewed before the trial could proceed. The trial was delayed for a third time on June 9, 2009 for unspecified reasons. A new trial date was set for January 18, 2010, and was postponed again with a trial date of March 14, 2011.[49][50] After another delay, the trial was set to begin on January 30, 2012.[51] On May 12, 2008, it was announced the suspects, if convicted, would not face the death penalty, but may be subjected to life imprisonment because the suspected gunman, Eric Rivera, was only 17 at the time of the shooting.[52] On May 15, 2008, Venjah Hunte, one of the five suspects in Taylor's murder, accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to 29 years in prison.[53] On April 1, 2009, Hunte petitioned the court to withdraw his guilty plea.[54]
On January 20, 2012, a judge set a trial date of April 16 for Eric Rivera, Jr., the alleged gunman in the case.[55] However, Rivera Jr. fired his lawyer on March 16,[56] eventually causing delays. On July 12, the judge postponed the trial to November 5,[57] but that date was further moved back to April 5, 2013 due to conflicting schedule with the chief prosecutor.[58] On April 2, 2013, the trial was again postponed to August 12, 2013. In August, the trial was postponed to September 16, 2013.[59] This was rescheduled to October 15, 2013. On November 4, 2013, a jury found Eric Rivera, Jr. guilty of second-degree murder and armed burglary. He still can face life in prison.[60]
On January 23, 2014, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Dennis Murphy imposed a sentence of 571⁄2 years in prison. Rivera testified someone else fired the gun. Three others are awaiting trial in the case.[61]
Ring of Fame Induction[edit]
Sean Taylor was inducted posthumously into the Washington Redskins Ring of Fame on November 30, 2008. He joined 42 others and is the first player introduced to the ring since Gary Clark was inducted in late 2007.[62]

← Tishrei Marcheshvan (מַרְחֶשְׁוָן) Kislev → | ||||
The Great Flood, which supposedly wiped out the world, started in Marcheshvan. |
Month Number: | 8 | |||
Number of Days: | 29 (sometimes 30) | |||
Season: | autumn | |||
Gregorian Equivalent: | October-November |
Marcheshvan (Hebrew: מַרְחֶשְׁוָן, Standard Marḥešvan Tiberian Marḥešwān; from Akkadian waraḫsamnu, literally "eighth month"), sometimes shortened to Cheshvan (Hebrew: חֶשְׁוָן, Standard Ḥešvan Tiberian Ḥešwān), is the second month of the civil year (which starts on 1 Tishrei) and the eighth month of the ecclesiastical year (which starts on 1 Nisan) on the Hebrew calendar.
In a regular (kesidran) year Marcheshvan has 29 days, but because of the Rosh Hashanah postponement rules, in some years an additional day is added to Marcheshvan to make the year a "full" (maleh) year. Marcheshvan is an autumn month which occurs in October–November in the Gregorian calendar.
Given the Akkadian etymology, it seems likely the מ and the ו were switched at some point in time, since y-r-ḥ is the Semitic root for "moon" (and thus also "month"), and š-m-n is the Semitic root for "eight". Since then, the first two letters מַר (mar) have been reinterpreted as the Hebrew word for bitter, alluding to the fact that the month has no holidays or fasts.
The Ethiopian Jewish community celebrates Sigd on the 29th day of Marcheshvan (50 days from Yom Kippur, analogous to counting 50 days from Pesach to Shavuos), as recognized by the Israeli Knesset July 2008.
The Hebrew Bible, before the Babylonian Exile, refers to the month as Bul (1 Kings 6:38).
Events in Marcheshvan[edit]
7 Marcheshvan - V'tein Tal u-Matar ("Deliver Dew and Rain"), a prayer, is added to the Shemoneh Esrei prayers in Israel. If no rain has fallen by the 17th of the month, special prayers are added for rain [1]
Marcheshvan in Jewish history[edit]
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
12 Cheshvan - (1995) - Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin
- Yitzhak Rabin is the only Prime Minister of Israel to date to have been assassinated. The 12th of Cheshvan is now marked annually in Israel as a national memorial day.
15 Marcheshvan - (165 BCE) - Yartzeit of Matityahu (Mattathias)
- Mattityahu was the son of The Kohen Gadol Yochanan. When during the 2nd century BCE the Seleucids-Syrian Greeks under Antiochus IV Epiphanes tried to forcefully hellenize The People of Israel, Mattityahu started a revolt in the city of Modiin. After his death, his sons, The Maccabees led the uprising to a victory establishing an independent Jewish state. This victory is celebrated every year on the festival of Hanukkah.

- Rabbi Meir Kahane, American-Israeli rabbi, Jewish leader and former Knesset member, was assassinated in New York by Egyptian terrorist El Sayyid Nosair. Founder of the American Jewish Defense League and the Israeli Kach party.
23 Marcheshvan - (137 BCE) - Hasmonean holiday
- In Talmudic times, Marcheshvan 23 was commemorated as the day on which the stones of the altar which were defiled by the Greeks were removed from the Holy Temple.
27 Marcheshvan - (2104 BCE) - Flood ends
- On the 27th of Marcheshvan of the Hebrew year 1657 (2104 BCE) "the earth dried" (Genesis 8:14), which finished the 365-day duration of the great flood which is said to have wiped out all life on earth except for the eight human beings and the animals (two of each species) that were on Noah's ark. On this day, God is said to have commanded Noah to "Come out of the ark" and repopulate, settle and civilize the earth.

House Democrats countered that schools already provide students with free textbooks and bus rides to school.
"Hey, we send [people] to jail, we feed them," said Delegate David Walker, D-Clay. "We send [soldiers] to die for us, and we feed them. Now, we ask them to go to school and go hungry? Give me a break."
Also Friday, House members:
• Agreed to the Senate's changes to a bill (HB2979) designed to bring Internet service to rural communities in West Virginia. The bill requires the state to follow Internet download-speed standards set by the Federal Communications Commission -- now at 4 megabits per second. The legislation also requires the West Virginia Broadband Deployment Council to give priority to projects that bring Internet service to households for the first time -- before funding projects to increase download speeds at homes that already have broadband service.
• Approved a bill (SB194) that no longer allows the Department of Health and Human Resources to bypass Purchasing Division rules when awarding contracts for Medicaid-related projects. The West Virginia Legislative Auditor recommended the change after releasing a report last year that found the DHHR had a "lack of procurement expertise." The Senate already has passed the bill, and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin is expected to sign it.
• Voted 66-33 to approve a bill (SB437) that aims to crack down on "puppy mills." The bill limits the number of breeding dogs such facilities may house. Commercial breeders also would have to obtain licenses and pay fees.
Their facilities would be inspected twice a year. Breeders could sell dogs only as household pets.
The bill, which passed the Senate earlier this month, sparked a lengthy debate on the House floor Friday afternoon.
The bill's opponents said the legislation would unfairly penalize reputable dog breeders and drive up kennel operating costs.
Supporters said the bill would ensure that dogs are raised and treated humanely. More than 30 states have similar laws.
"The purpose is go after the large commercial breeders, the puppy mills," said Delegate Isaac Sponaugle, D-Pendleton. "It's the responsible thing to do."
• Passed a bill that bars minors from going to tanning salons unless they have a parent's permission. Tanning salons also must register with local health departments.
Under the bill (SB464), minors 14 and younger would not be allowed to go to tanning salons, while those 15 to 18 years of age would need parental consent. Tanning salons that violate the law would face penalties of $100 to $1,000.

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle, left, argues with third base umpire Sam Holbrook after Holbrook called Neil Walker out at third base on a Andrew McCutchen single in the fourth inning of a baseball game against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. (AP photo / September 16, 2012) |
CHICAGO (AP) — With the ball jumping out of Wrigley Field, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle was in search of a reliever who could keep the ball down and help hold a big early lead.
Hurdle was never able to find that reliever.
Anthony Rizzo hit two homers and drove in six runs to lift the Chicago Cubs to a 13-9 victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Pedro Alvarez hit two homers and drove in five runs for the Pirates, who lost for the 12th time in 15 games. Pittsburgh came into play Sunday two games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals for the second wild card.
Staked to a 6-1 lead, the Pirates were unable to hold off the Cubs, who have taken five of the last six against Pittsburgh.
Rod Barajas homered for Pittsburgh, and Joe Mather hit a solo shot for the Cubs.
Rizzo hit a two-run shot in a four-run fifth inning, then capped a five-run sixth with his first career grand slam off Jared Hughes (2-2) to put the Cubs up 10-9 and send the home crowd into a frenzy.
Leading 9-5, Hurdle went with sinkerballer Rick van den Hurk, who was unable to retire the three batters he faced before Hughes gave up the grand slam.
"I wanted to bring in the sinker guys in from that point on to try to hold (the lead). I chose van den Hurk. It didn't work," Hurdle said.
Hurdle doesn't believe fatigue is an excuse for his bullpen's struggles.
