According to the latest census data, the share of poor who are ages 18-64 now stands at 56.7 percent, compared to 35.5 percent who are children and 7.9 percent who are 65 and older. The working-age share surpasses a previous high of 55.5 percent first reached in 2004.
Obama is preparing to outline a new plan for creating jobs and stimulating the economy in a prime-time address to Congress on Thursday. The Republican-controlled House has been adamant about requiring spending cuts in return for an increase in the federal debt limit. Suggested cuts have included proposals to raise the eligibility age for future Medicare recipients or to reduce other domestic programs in a way that would disproportionately affect the poor.
"The reality is there are going to be a lot of working poor for the foreseeable future," Sheldon Danzigehe said, a University of Michigan public policy professor who specializes in poverty. (AP)

I'm currently working on a website for an organization that puts out a bi-monthly newsletter as a pdf. What I would like to do is display the current newsletter on the page itself so viewers can flip through it, and have links to the pdf past newsletters. I've found some info on this but the basic premise of it all is that I can convert a pdf to swf in Illustrator and add that to the page. The problem I'm having with that is it seems Illustrator will only load one page at a time and the newsletters are 4-5 pages on average. Is there an easy way that I can do this myself, or would my best bet be to pay for someone else to do it or for more software? I currently have the CS5 Master Collection and would think that something in there is what I'm looking for.
This is my first post here but hopefully I explained my issue clear enough that someone can help. Thanks in advance!
Embedded PDFs do not always show up. Much depends on browser, preferences, plug-ins and supporting software used by your site visitors.
For best cross browser results, provide a direct link to your PDF files. Add a thumbnail image to give users some idea of what the page contains. This is how Adobe does it:

Nancy, I think that's what I'm going to do for older newsletters. For the current issue though, I was thinking more along the lines of something like this...
I would like to be able to do it myself, if possible.
OK, I've looked around a bit more and learned that what I want to do is actually called a flip book or page flip. Even found a tutorial on youtube on how to do this in Flash Catalyst and Builder. Looks like I've got some work to do! (It's so much easier when you know the actual name of what you're looking for!)
If you convert PDF newsletters to Flash, they will be inaccessible to a large group of people who cannot access Flash content. Flash is not natively supported by iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, iPods, iTouch), web assisting technologies like JAWS, robot translators, or search engine spiders. You'll reach more people with PDF alone than you will with Flash. If you want total saturation, convert your PDF to HTML which everyone can see/search/translate.

AFL coaching landscape: Who's under pressure?
By Alfred Chan, 5 Feb 2013 Alfred Chan is a Roar Guru

Related coverage
The 2013 AFL season posses a unique situation. Realistically, only one senior coaching position will be available at season's end.
In a league which traditionally sees four or five changes each year, even contracted coaches could find themselves out of a job.
Over the past three seasons, Australia's most profitable sporting code has been falling down the slippery path of paying out contacted coaches due to myopic boards and irresponsible administrators. This trend has plagued American and European codes for decades where clubs simply have too much money.
The widening gap between rich and poor clubs have seen the high profile sackings of Brett Ratten and Mark Harvey over the past two seasons. This suggests that if a coach deemed better than the present becomes available, controversy will dominate the latter stages of the season.
At the conclusion of 2013, only Michael Voss (Brisbane), Kevin Sheedy (GWS) and John Worsfold (West Coast) will be out of contract.
Leon Cameron is a certainty to take over Sheedy and with Worsfold taking the Eagles to the finals for the past two seasons; his contract extension is a formality.
One name will linger in the media throughout the year: Paul Roos.
Still relatively young at the age of 49, prior engagements which kept Roos out of coaching contention for the past four years have now been settled. If he wants a job, all he needs to do is show interest. He's the kind of guy who will not accept a job if it costs another their job but every man has a price in this league.
So which five AFL coaches are under the most pressure this season?:
5. Mick Malthouse
No coach will ever be under as much pressure in their first season at a club than Malthouse. Whether pressured by the board or not, fans expect him to be the final piece of the premiership puzzle. When the club went the effort they did to sign Malthouse, anything less than a top four finish is a disappointing season.
He's costing the club around $2 million this year with his base salary and all the payouts the club had to make for disposing of Brett Ratten. Malthouse will be hell bent on bettering the record of Collingwood and with the mind games he plays in the media, he'll be putting plenty of pressure on himself.
4. Alistair Clarkson
Lance Franklin dropped a bombshell when he announced he would put of contract negotiations until the end of the season. The league's most dominant forward is going down a slippery path which bungled both Collingwood and Geelong's seasons when Travis Cloke and Gary Ablett respectively, announced the same decisions.
"Putting off contract negotiations until the end of the season," always means the player is holding out for more money. It's not secret that the salary cap squeeze is on Hawthorn after a lengthy run of success.
A West Australian native, Franklin will be courted like never before by Fremantle who are dieing for a key forward. With a young list and the pending retirement of Matthew Pavlich, the Fremantle Dockers have the ability to make Franklin the highest paid player in the league. What can Alistair Clarkson do to minimize the distraction?
3. James Hird
Hird is contracted by Essendon until the end of 2014 so the pressure won't be coming from the club. It will be coming from Hird himself. The golden boy of Windy Hill is a smart man and knows what was expected of him when he accepted the job two years ago. He also knows what is best for the direction of the club.
It is no secret that Hird was hesitant at first about being a senior coach after successfully establishing his personal business. If he feels he cannot meet his expectations and acknowledges that that there are better candidates for the senior role than himself, he will humbly step aside and hand over the reins without holding the Essendon Football Club to their contractual agreement.
2. Guy McKenna
Contracted by the Gold Coast Suns until the end of the 2014 season, McKenna's first two seasons have been completely void of any pressure. His list of youngsters and the clubs strong financial standing make the Suns the ideal destination for Paul Roos or any other coach.
McKenna has done the hard yards developing the list but he needs to win more than five games this year. If Roos puts his hand up and says he'd like to coach the Suns, the club would be wise to appoint him this year before the coaching market catches up next year.
1. Michael Voss
Voss entered the season with a noose around his neck. His mediocre performance has been clouded by his playing reputation around the club. Struggling to rebuild the Lions, Voss boasts one of the worst coaching records amongst senior coaches in the league and would already have been booed out of his job at any other club.
Voss not only needs to take the Lions to the finals this season, but if he is to keep his job, he needs to win a final which probably won't happen. The Brisbane Lions looks like it will be the only available coaching vacancy at the end of 2013.
Beyond the five coaches mentioned above, Brendan McCartney, Scott Watters and Damien Hardwick are senior coaches whose contracts expire at the end of 2014. Although their jobs appear secure this season, a good year will be rewarded with early contract extensions to avoid any unwanted attention.
Beside Paul Roos hanging around the sidelines for a senior coaching job, proven candidates holding minor roles around the league include Neil Craig, Mark Williams Brett Ratten, Mark Harvey, Dean Laidley and Rodney Eade.
With such high profile names lingering in shadows of coaching boxes and only one position likely to become vacant at season's end, not even contracted coaches are safe in this league anymore.

SpearTackle said | February 5th 2013 @ 7:25am | Report commentIt would be interesting to see if the AFL adopted some kind of coaching or off-field salary cap. Fremantle and Carlton were able to buy out contracts because they could afford to. Smaller clubs would run into mega debt if they tried the same thing. I can't immagine Michael Voss will get a contract extension so I think for the sake of his legacy at the club, he comes out and says he's leaving on his own terms.
February 5th 2013 @ 8:35am
Redb said | February 5th 2013 @ 8:35am | Report commentVery good article and summary.
5. I disagree re Malthouse he has a one year honeymoon at least. There will be some expectation to make the 8 but not top 4.
4. Agree on Clarkson, he has a tough year ahead of him, could Franklin leaving at seasons end actually take the pressure off?
3. Spot on assessment re James Hird. I think though Essendon are still building and with new digs to come online I think it will Sir James plenty of reasons to stay.
2. Yeah McKenna is safe for 2013. 6-8 wins will be a success. Less than 4 wins could see the club have a good look at replacing him in the future.
1. Disagree on Voss, the Lions won 9-10 games in 2012, a better run with injuries could see them climb the ladder further. He was more vulnerable after the 2011 season IMO.
February 5th 2013 @ 11:28am
Macca said | February 5th 2013 @ 11:28am | Report commentSince we're talking about contracted coaches, what about Ross Lyon? He had his honeymoon period last year so I'd expect him to be under the heat more than Malthouse. He's got a list capable of a flag and he's running out of time to get the most out of Sandilands and Pavlich.
And from your list of coaches hanging around the sidelines, only Roos and Ratten are any chance of getting a senior gig again.-
February 5th 2013 @ 5:15pm
Alfred Chan said | February 5th 2013 @ 5:15pm | Report commentIt's quite safe to say Fremantle gave two mammoth performances in the finals last year. To topple Geelong at Etihad in the manner they did in the elimination final would have given Dockers fans more than enough faith in Lyon to lead to team into the future. Following up that performance in a nail biter in Adelaide only reaffirmed this. All of this came from a team who 12 months ago, couldn't win on the road. Ross Lyon is their man.

TomC said | February 5th 2013 @ 12:21pm | Report commentI've never been a fan of Voss; in fact I thought his appointment was a ridiculous piece of mismanagement, made worse by a revolving door of football staff and coaching assistants of dubious quality at the Lions over the last four years.
Even after four years, I still think he shows some signs of naivety in his decisions. The club seemed prepared to move heaven and earth to get Kurt Tippett but still couldn't land him. The Lions are woefully lacking in KPP depth, and yet young talls never seem to get an extended run of games.
And he will wear the disastrous Fevola recruitment as an albatross around his neck for years to come. Quite rightly too.
That should be set against some good signs for the Lions. They have quite an impressive group of young players who are developing quickly, and older hands like Staker, Raines, Maguire, Patfull and Merrett have all played the best football of their careers under Voss. 2013 will likely be a defining year for the team and the coach.
But the standards Alfred sets are, frankly, ridiculous. Voss needs to win a final to keep his job? I strongly doubt that that would be the standard the Lions board will apply, and nor should it be. If the Lions finish in eighth and bow out in week one of the finals I think everyone associated with Brisbane would be overjoyed at how quickly the club has come back from the terrible 2011 season. Heck, I think finishing 12th or higher would probably be an acceptable result.
If the Lions do go backwards in 2013, which is possible, then I think Voss is unlikely to get a new contract, so I agree with Alfred that much, at least.
Good article otherwise, though. Two other coaches who might find themselves under pressure if the season goes sour are Damien Hardwick and Brad Scott.

February 5th 2013 @ 5:12pm
Alfred Chan said | February 5th 2013 @ 5:12pm | Report commentVoss went 10-12 last season which was certainly an improvement on the 4-18 in 2011. With guys like Rockliff, Redden and Rich in the middle, they have a solid midfield. If he wins 12 games this year, I can see him getting a one year extension but I still think he'll need a finals appearance to get two or more. On top of Fevola, the Voss regime has been responsible for the losses of Jared Brennan, Michael Rischetelli, Mitch Clark, Daniel Bradshaw and Luke Power – none of which were handled very well. I think there are areas of the game Voss can make a better contribution to football than coaching.
February 5th 2013 @ 5:38pm
TomC said | February 5th 2013 @ 5:38pm | Report commentWhat was poorly handled about the Brennan, Clark and Power exits, Alfred? Personally I think the Lions handled those three perfectly.
Anyway, disagree on finals being the standard for the Lions in 2013. Maybe it should be, for a bloke who's been in charge for five years, but it won't be.
February 5th 2013 @ 6:19pm
Alfred Chan said | February 5th 2013 @ 6:19pm | Report commentBrennan's was probably handled the best out of the lot and that's only because he was playing the worst of the lot. Clark's exit said a lot about Michael Voss' approach to how he addressed his players. Clark went on the record saying he was sick of playing in the ruck. His reason for wanting out was he wanted a more permanent role and Voss was unable to offer one to him. Considering their dire need for a tall forward besides Jonathon Brown, they probably could have use him as a forward right about now. The team won seven games in 20110 when he shouldered the ruck load and four in 2011 when he was the 2nd ruckman. There was animosity between Clark and Voss and it showed.
Power's exit was the most disappointing of the lot considering both he and Voss played together for so long. Voss as a coach as the right to say it's time to go, but as a friend the whole "we can only have one veteran on our list" thing wasn't smooth. First reports from the club said he's announced his retirement and then when he was asked a week later, he said he'd always wanted to play on. Sure he may have taken a spot on the list which could have been given to a youngster but he'd given so much to the club, was a highly respected leader across the league and still playing good football. Power should have been able to go out on his own terms.
Clubs and players split up all the time but high profile ones always make someone look bad and in Clark and Power's cases, it was Brisbane.-
February 5th 2013 @ 9:02pm
TomC said | February 5th 2013 @ 9:02pm | Report commentAlfred, with respect, you've strayed onto ground you're not comfortable with.
Clark's stated reason for wanting to leave was that he wanted to return to Perth to be with his family. Here's a source:
When Melbourne made a financial offer greater than what either Fremantle or Brisbane, he changed his mind. Here's a source:
Clark spent the entire season 2010 playing as a forward, changing in the ruck. As you say, the Lions won four games in that season. He did, however, spend all of 2009 in the ruck after Leuenberger got himself injured. The Lions won thirteen and a half games and finished sixth. Clark made the AA squad as a ruckman.
Your statement that he wanted to leave because Brisbane couldn't offer him a permanent role is nonsense. I don't know if there was animosity between Voss and Clark, but if Clark was publicly complaining about where he was being played I should hope there would be! I don't think he was though. I think you made that up.
I know that Brisbane aren't the best resourced club but I had no idea the head coach was writing the articles on the club's website. Was it there he said there could only be one veteran on the list? Did he make Black and Brown do rock-paper-scissors for that spot? Or are they still both on the list?
I think its entirely sensible to try and stagger the retirement of the most senior players. I don't at all agree that premiership players should be allowed to stay on the list for as long as they damn well please. The club faciliated Power's trade to GWS for a token low draft pick, where he played one average season and retired.
To me, it looks like the Lions got that one entirely right.
Perhaps when people who know more about a subject than yourself politely disagree with you, you should rethink your own position, rather than dig your heels in and say a bunch of stuff that is untrue.
February 6th 2013 @ 12:10am
Alfred Chan said | February 6th 2013 @ 12:10am | Report comment"But Young (Clark's manager) said Clark had been keen to join Fremantle – who have offered the athletic big man a permanent spot at centre half-forward – from as long ago as last year's trade period."
In Feb 2011: "Voss also pointed to a more permanent role in the forward line for Mitch Clark, said he had barely thought about Gold Coast's entrance to the AFL,"
The discussions between Voss and Clark were there and it was an offer Voss needed to match knowing Fremantle had offered it. In the end he couldn't and Clark left after 2011. Sick of rucking/requesting a permanent role = semantics. OK – It's not as public on paper as I recall so I must be remembering something via radio/tv.
Brown was never an issue considering he played a completely different role to Power/Black.
"In the end it was a mutual decision. I've got nothing but praise, admiration and respect for 'Vossy' … he wanted to be as honest and upfront with me as possible. He didn't say, 'You must retire', but he definitely indicated that the club and team had other priorities and I took it on board." – That's a pretty good indication that Voss told him he'd be running around in the 2′s if he stuck around.
The consummate professional, Power refused to criticise his former captain, but admitted he was desperate to play on.
"He's a great leader and Jonathan Brown is a great leader and that's one of the reasons I was really keen to play with the club again next year, because I just see so much upside," Power told SEN radio.
February 6th 2013 @ 12:45am
TomC said | February 6th 2013 @ 12:45am | Report commentAlfred, that second link you've put in appears to be broken, but from what I can see there is nothing about a lack of a 'permanent role' being a factor behind Clark wanting to leave Brisbane.
Clark's reasons are quite clear. They are on record. First it was homesickness, then it was money. That Fremantle wanted to use him as a permanent CHF doesn't at all mean that he left Brisbane because occasionally he had to play in the ruck. This appears to be a rather obvious point, and I'm not sure why it needs to be explained.
Oddly enough I'm not going to trust something you think you remember in the distant past, possibly from TV or radio.
But you know what? It doesn't matter. Because if a player refuses to play where his team needs him, then I have no problem at all with that player being traded.
I have no idea what that stuff you just said about Power is meant to prove, so I'll repeat what I said.
1. Even champions sometimes have to be tapped on the shoulder.
2. Nothing Power did in his final season makes me think the Lions had anything to gain by playing him ahead of younger players in 2012.
3. He retired one year later anyway, so obviously he didn't have much left in him, however positive he felt at the end of 2011.Either say why these things are wrong, or admit that you've made a mistake.
You've made assertions you can't support.

Hot answers tagged tents
Absolutely not! Fire is the obvious risk, but carbon monoxide poisoning should be taken seriously as well. If the weather is bad, at the very least cook under the vestibule with maximum ventilation.
Others have brought up a great point about bear country. It's recommended to cook and eat at least 100 yards away from your camp site when there may be bears ...
Hammocks are cold. The weight of your body compresses the clothes or sleeping bag, and air circulates underneath you, as opposed to a tent where you usually have a pad and the ground for insulation.
It seems like it would be tough to stay dry in the rain in a hammock. It's nice to have a tent to get into in the rain in between hiking/playing and sleeping if ...
The answers regarding flammability (and the ensuing death trap) and carbon monoxide poisoning are correct. Even in foul weather, cook outside your tent. If you do lots of camping in bad weather (New Zealand's West Coast?) get a tent with a vestibule.
There is one additional problem: In bear country, you never want to cook too close to your tent, because if ...
If it's raining or very humid you are probably going to have to put up with some condensation, but to try and reduce it, look for ways to minimise water vapour and increase ventilation. The following may help, but obviously not all will be appropriate for the conditions you are camping in.
Sources of water vapour:
Combustion of fuel in a stove and steam ...
The difference between a single wall tent and a double wall tent is the rain fly (or lack thereof). A single wall tent has only one layer of fabric, this layer provides protection from the elements, and is the only walls of the tent. A double wall tent usually has a mesh inner tent with a fly that sits on top to protect you from the elements.
The benefits ...
The key advantage of a geodesic design is the pole configuration can support a greater static load. This means they are favoured for mountaineering expeditions because they can withstand a heavy snow fall (compared with a tunnel design that would sag with the weight of the snow between each pole).

I hadn't seen any of these but a quick Google does indeed seem to bring up a few!
From a quick glance around, though this isn't an authoritative answer, it seems that 5 season tents are specifically designed for the harshness of Arctic-like climates, rather than a 4 season tent being designed more for your average winter in non-arctic conditions. I guess in ...
Any pole will have a fractionally greater chance of attracting lightning than a piece of flat ground or a dome tent - but this doesn't mean the increased chance is that high. If you are in the middle of an entirely flat field and your tent pole is the highest object for miles, then it will be a slight risk, but some points to consider:
If you are anywhere ...
No, a tent will not give you any protection from bears that want what's inside. If you want to use one thats fine, but don't go getting a false sense of security.
In some ways a tent could be an attractant if:
You have eaten anything in it over the last 6 months.
You keep good smelling clothes in it (like the ones you wash in nice smelling detergent).
My own preferred method is to use a UCO Mini candle lantern attached to the loop in the ceiling, it generates light that radiates outward, and also generates enough heat to make the tent enjoyable when you're settling in for the night.
I combine the above with a headlamp for personal reading.
Your mileage will vary by manufacturer, tent technology might not change, but designs do quite a lot (just to keep you wanting the next thing...)
Check out REI - they have a 100% full return or replacement guarantee on all purchases that extends pretty much for eternity. I demand a lot of my gear, and even when it has let me down, REI never has.

In a lot of places it will be quite difficult finding two trees the right distance apart to hang it. When it's late and you've been walking all day, all you want to do is lie down and rest, you might spend quite a long time looking for those two trees.
Here in the UK when it rains, it often comes horizontal, so even with a tarp over you, you're going to get ...
We quite often cook on a small gas stove in the porch (vestibule) of the tent - as long as you are careful and don't leave it unattended, just be sensible.
I have seen a tent go up in flames, and they burn extremely quickly so I'm aware of the danger, but I've never felt at risk.
Thankfully in the UK we don't have to worry about Bears...
The simplest ones are like this, and even the more complex ones are typically broadly similar.
Usage is to have set your peg at a useful distance (ie not too close to the tent, as it won't hold the pole/skin out, and not too far away as you might trip over it) and pop the loop round the peg.
Then just slide the tensioner up the guy rope until tight.
There's no hard and fast rule for specific tensions that I know of, mainly because that will vary slightly depending on the conditions. As an average rule I tend to make them taught, but not to the point where they're pulling on the pegs.
There's a couple of scenarios where I tend to slacken them off a bit though:
When the pegs can't be fully pushed into ...
A tent can provide a psychological barrier for the bear - which won't do much to deter it if it smells something it wants inside (food), but can prevent haphazard encounters.
For example, if a bear is wandering through your camp on its way to check out your expertly hung bear hang a tent will be a visual obstacle it will naturally move around / avoid, ...
I camp in the Appalachians (pretty darned wet). We have had the same Kelty tent for over four years with anywhere from six to twelve trips per year. We've never waterproofed it. It still repels water and performs very well. It poured rain for over 12 hours our last trip and the kiddos in the tent stayed dry.
I'd say waterproof when you have an issue. ...
I have used these once before but I do not have them any more to take my own pics with.
The arrow points at the part of the rope you should pull. Pull it out until you have a big loop. Place the loop around your post or stake in the ground. Slide the Black piece of plastic up the rope until it is tight.
Next try to turn the black piece of plastic ...
Hydrostatic rating on a tent is the highest column of water a material can withstand for up to one minute before the water starts to penetrate (assuming good seams, no damage etc)
The ratings translate as follows (have seen these quoted in a couple of places, this is from campingcrazy.com)
1000mm or less is considered shower resistant and will soak up ...
I'll answer a question in the comments:
I will be curious to know what is the average amount of Co2 produced by a stove vs the average amount of co2 generated by human breathing. My guess would be that stove will win but I heard of people suffocate in closed cars while sleeping
To make things simple, lets assume assume your body burns 2,600 ...
A tent may give you slightly more protection than sleeping out in the open, but not much. If a bear wants at you, the fabric of the tent is no match for his sharp claws.
Bears, both black and grizzly, have been known to cause severe damage even to buildings, high wooden fences, and even vehicles. I knew of an apple orchard that had an 8-10 ft. high ...
Hammocks are great for hot weather. I have backpacked with a hammock in the Virginia summer, when the nights were 85°F-95°. There are certainly enough trees here, and in any densely forested area. It is actually preferable (with a mosquito net) because you stay cooler. When it rained, I slept on the ground with a small rain fly, because water likes to ...
The primary difference is good winter camping tents are designed to stand up to and / or mitigate snow building up on top of them. Ventilation is also very important as you don't want moisture from your breathing to build up in the tent as you could wake up with your clothes wet.
Winter tents will often have larger vestibules, as you will typically have ...
It really depends on the type of tent. You should not cook in a standard outdoor tent. However there are tents like the "Kohte" and the "Yurt" of (mainly German) scouts that are designed to have a fire burning inside.
These tents are made of cotton and have no floor. Also they are heavier than typical expedition tents. As always you have to weigh the pros ...
If you are in bear country, I agree 100% with everyone - cook somewhere else. 100m away minimum.
In winter, not in bear country, getting out of your tent to cook sucks. Fortunately, many mountaineers have discovered that some stoves do not produce excessive carbon monoxide. And there's a handy table in this article at Backpacking Light that describes ...
I'm not familiar with your specific tent, but you typically don't block ventilation in a double walled tent. The outer rain fly will collect condensation from your own breathing and the tent needs to breath to reduce it.
You also need to seal the seams on a tent if the factory doesn't do it for you, and sometimes even when they do. You can find lots of ...
The big advantage that classic dome tents will have with strong winds is the addition of the guy ropes. With a popup tent, in high winds the stress will be on the tent itself, with guy ropes the stress is on the ropes and (when erected properly) a certain amount is channelled down to the ground via the pegs.
Now this isn't to say popup tents will break the ...
I am not really an expert in winter camping but I do live in the northern part of the Appalachians. You should base your decision on the following criteria:
Snow: what is the amount of snow that you could expect in one day? If it is more than 10 cm, you should probably choose a 4 seasons tent because snow accumulation can make a roof collapse
Winds: will ...
Original Poofiness (or OP as they call it in the 'wood) will always be illusive. No matter how you care for your bag, it is on a steady decline toward compression from the moment you buy it.

Game Preview 5/1/12 -- Two Timers - Twins @ Angels
Minnesota Twins (6-15) @ Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (8-14)
Pitching Probables: MIN – Francisco Liriano (0-3, 11.02 ERA) LAA – Jerome Williams (1-1, 5.51 ERA)
Game Info: 7:05 PM PT; TV - Fox Sports West; Radio - KLAA 830
Out of all the struggles the Angels have had this season stringing together wins has been on the top of the list. Now they have the perfect chance to pull 2 in a row on a very weak Twins team, would would get the month of May off to a much needed hot start. Last night the offense was rolling, or at least rolling a lot better then they have before, and the pitching was pretty much on fire. Now the Angels get to face another struggling starter in Francisco Liriano, who has been doing so bad that the Twins actually made him skip a start so he could clear his head and get his mechanics straight. Liriano has been doing even worse than Blackburn, and we saw what the Angels did to Blackburn last night. They worked the count, they walked, they strung together hits, they generally just gave Blackburn a hard time on the mound. Right now Liriano is a fresh piece of meat facing a team full of starved cannibals, and you better believe the Angels are going to feast off of him tonight.
The only question that really stands out is Jerome Williams. Namely, will he be able to put up another quality start much like his last outing against the Rays? If he can go 7 deep on the Rays on the road and only give up 2 runs I think he'll be able to manage a strong start here at home against a much weaker team. My only concern is if Williams can go deep enough to keep the bullpen out of the game, he'll most likely pull 6, maybe 7 innings of work tonight, meaning the bullpen is going to have to put it's head on straight for tonight.
What a tall order.
