Transcript - will not be 100% accurate
Never has any Red Sox player. Had so few hits. In a World Series that meant so much since -- car ball. Shane Victorino. With the bases clearing double in the clinching game six that basically put the dagger in right away. In this game. You'd like to call up and talk about it its past 3 am now leading up to Dennis and Callahan they'll start at 6 AM on Butch Stearns the number call is 617. 7797937. If you are driving around in or pulled home finally like texting and the number to taxed on the eighteen to text line. Is 37937. Holes or couple things on Twitter wanna point out. So -- -- go to text line first. Babe Ruth butch and I'm sure a few more 13 rings of the Red Sox and 191516. And eighteen and I'm sure won a tour around and twelve and just won four rings OK your probably right. So I'm probably wrong when I said David -- the first Red Sox player. To win three championship rings in a Red Sox uniform so I'll amend that in my lifetime definitely and in modern day. Since 1918. I would say that David Ortiz is the only one I know it has three Red Sox championship -- either way I think raise. Point is a good one is David Ortiz. Go down now is one of the greatest players in Red Sox history yes. He's sitting at the table in that discussion of who's on the mount Rushmore is no doubt about it in a Red Sox uniform. Debate that he'd like. On now it says I asked if if I'm missing anything with -- The crowds celebrated. -- says I'm an officer who just left Boston we worked on Brookline have the crowds were great no arrests everybody was lost. Great to -- By the Texas can we lose move on to football and basketball season now Lee's really. You're diehard. Football and basketball fan. Gee you'd like you just Tony -- celebrates his championship. -- Texas or shoppers cafe and walked him says good morning butch yeah my good friends over choppers cafe we do our Finnessey. Baseball draft here the year. It starts like 10 am and ends like ten -- But it's always fun. Odd couple of I tweets I love Twitter for so many reasons here is 3 o'clock in the morning it didn't even dawn on me because. Seems like such a lifetime ago that I was a full time member of the card carrying member of the free loading media but they're all driving home from Fenway now on their -- out before they leave unless they have other follow up stories to write. And so their tweeting out Mike Komansky still up celebrating a Red Sox World Series win at which turns taking your calls -- 6 AM. Thanks for getting us all home Blatche. Tweed -- Mott said look forward to listening to your show tomorrow. You guys will be bleary eyed and -- to DO. Kevin Paul DuPont kind of humorous tweet he treated out earlier Ted delighted to hear total pro Butch Stearns wrap up the Bruins win. On WBI overnight. Any it was a two game series when he said that he was amiss tight or miss tweet. Because somebody -- bag instead I thought they lost inning Kevin treated exit wall I meant sox' -- Bruins did lose by a score of three to two and then -- Interest it also Michael Silberman tweet notes and pictures. If you if you're just started to join Twitter. Just search hash tag Red Sox or star following some of the local guys and you'll see videos and pictures and all the stuff forward he can't insist. Really the only way to go he can get and all the publications but. It really is where it's that. And who treated -- so I'm trying to find Scott -- over I believe. We did out at 2:48 AM. That Ryan Dempster was on the mound at Fenway pitching to family members. How cool is that after you win the World Series. So read back to the calls we go lines are lit up let's go to Jeff -- Attleboro Jeff thanks for. Hang in on what's on your mind this morning a lot but they just turn your radio down. And asked -- on -- just hung on a long time let's go to Mike in Connecticut hello Michael. I did our area could I just uncalled for in my driveway it was that the game tonight possibly the greatest nights of my life he just drove home to Connecticut. Yeah not eastern Connecticut I'm losing my right side I'm excited that they're actually a girl I gotta be -- to a go to each school. While we're at where we wouldn't want to grade would where he tees. Great six down and not north don't think Connecticut their foxwoods casino -- -- my kids tonight and they stay up and -- -- game no matter what the parents CC and talk about the game in class tomorrow you better. Yeah so I'll lean in that he's doing has to understate the most it. Ambien no other and it adds an education my friend I'm yeah I don't get spoiled date. I grew up in the eighties so -- suffered through Buckner. I suffered a Grady Little. And these kids don't do that my student these days they don't know any other -- dynasty reds are right I have. Seventh grader and she's twelve. And she's you know she's lived through she was too young for some of them. Think about twelve years she's lived through twelve championship runs. And she's out now about this year a parade. These kids respond to the you know what I'm I'm all right or month old son and I'm article stating that they are. So Mike let me ask -- -- you -- to have a good perspective on the -- -- -- in touch with young people -- teachers sixth -- what what does this this one. Mean to you for someone I can understand -- that lived through it the Bucky Dent all that what does this one. The Red Sox winning a third championship in ten years eight in their lifetime what does this win mean to you. This is. You know a lot of special to go out there but he and I went there. It's special because it's at the first time that I have been able to relax. And like what music come on victory now comes to -- everything going to be all right. Like a Yankee fan. Now it -- I don't I don't want to offend people but I mean I feel like -- -- and so lake. To their dynasty years where it hurts that in the nineties or all the guys at or that where we can just relax we know things can turn out all right. It's strange -- But that's a that's a big -- tonight and he turned to me when I was six not been. And he said. I think they're gonna win that's all again oh -- -- that way you know of course we're still learning to feel confident that Red Sox. And that's it to be very interesting perspective on your part I think it's very perceptive because I'll put myself in that category I'm still learning. As a guy in his fifties. Who I'm still -- at least -- -- just thought I'm still learning Mike. To two it's not that I expect the other shoe to drop that that left you know for. But I'm still learning to expect the best to be the eternal optimist. And expect the best in these situations I did think once Victorino hit like I did think that the Cardinals just wouldn't rally. And come back and I'm by secret as it longtime Red Sox and I couldn't say it was over. I couldn't say game over not to look at me like 6 not now I am learning that yeah. You know a moment maybe I had a little -- up tonight when. You know came out and we saw Lackey was in relief and it left I I I Grady Little for a moment there tonight when -- Lackey try to finish that inning. But you know but no harm done. -- but yet that's that's what I wanna do. About -- you guys are talking about the mount Rushmore. Red Sox players were about mount Rushmore. Of Red Sox manager said we just witness the best men season -- outside. Who. Stats -- good question. I would think it has to go up there Dick Williams and and and even though they win it Dick Williams and 67 is always considered. One of the our greatest because of the impossible dream but again Farrell in his first year. Does with Dick Williams does does take a team that had the very low expectations. Goes from worst to first and wins so. -- he's on the mount Rushmore. You know Terry Francona managed nine years took in the playoffs what six times won two World Series. I know people immediately want Francona fans want to discredit that you'll all -- I'm sorry than what you judge a manager. Winning and losing and winning championships and getting to the playoffs so. Barrels in that discussion I don't know but the greatest ever. But I don't know it's -- -- one of the greatest seasons ever that's for sure. Robert dole in Springfield how -- you my friend. I've -- good golf course you won the World Series. Blatant than that now I know. I'm glad that you have a quick question because I'm I'm I'm bitterly so young -- That I watch sports on 992000. Old are and that I thought about it but. I'm not -- -- I want that you. What the Patriots are I don't. Aren't -- and that was gracious and it about the third -- you don't be a special. And -- their best but I don't have to believe in my art of the trade is run at everything -- -- and I got you. And the beginning of the season. I'd really -- -- and battle for second -- -- division -- got a soda sugar -- it you know I don't lie about it. I'm really thought about that and I'm really that are really not ever going to be. And just now right now great natural I don't I -- no doubt about that don't well. I have three I have three thoughts about the only one Patriots to your question my first one is for you if you're 25 you were a lot like twelve. A thirteen when they won that so I don't you have to have any memories about the one Patriots coach Kevin and. Oh yeah W all of never got that -- I think in the -- it wouldn't call what I am what they've -- -- -- and I. Jamal Lewis on Mo Lewis and and yeah so but but if you're asking me that so -- let me -- let me just turn the question around what. What was the only Patriots for you all about as a teen age. Honestly -- all the pictures. I mean -- on the plus side he's been a that's a bit. They are and arrogant and special the year you know I don't watch them and then lastly we went thirteen and -- -- -- -- it -- what else I'd bet a lot you know all my Boston not knowing the teams and I didn't and they're gonna. Your -- -- 25 year old now on a decade later and after watching all these championships. Your season ending you're asking me my perspective on whether this was better. That's for your hand okay so I'll answer to your allergy to this way. This wasn't better it was different for me and I'll tell you why the reason old one was better or was different was because it started at all. Like to pick the Patriots just like these team we didn't expect anything were five and eleven under Belichick -- questioned whether Belichick was the right got to take over anyway. When he stepped to the -- press conference we -- like wives. Business around the same time when Rick Pitino took over the Celtics in all my goodness they brought the banners down stat read -- a lower -- the coronation of king Richard that was big -- is the next -- of the championships in Boston and -- so so that was totally unexpected. Is 9/11 but to me it was it wasn't necessarily better it was completely different because it started. This whole thing so this is a little different. Because. There's been so many runs but that doesn't take away from it from me this was unexpected. It is baseball. There's always the baseball football debate in this town but I think baseball because. There's a 162 games it's a longer run and you're always say -- on the next road trip they're gonna lose it in the next month they're gonna lose it. Yet at the downside coach of the debate about me is that. I would stop for some reason and I'll I'll let let it could be stopped you know that the Bob Papa doubt that they can appeal the fans reacted to our baseball season went down a sudden I'm in no way. This is always going to be no matter what I think it'll be a base -- top. Well I'll tell you let's say this for -- although in the argument of the baseball or football town now it's three to three. It used to well all I'm I'm serious think about it -- -- -- for the caller -- used to be. They had the football people would arguably you know they've won three. Championships and now the football people would argue had been a five super balls. Well from baseball person I want to argue that this is a baseball town. Well they've only been three championship because what they haven't lost any. So. I mean look nobody outside of Boston wants heroes nobody. Mean please you know we don't just use the expression is saying our first rodeo guess what we put on the rodeos. That's what we do we orchestrate the rodeos -- in a car Joseph what's on your mind this morning. But that's not the guy YouTube where -- you drive at all and I thought I'd like yeah let me up. And -- go back -- hit it you're not around a great my goodness with the stars in the back. Talk about politics don't know you are promising me so cool all. What are you are you going on your way to work are you coming home to where you -- my body to go Lugo might. Well yeah but I mean I get -- it just. 70 the right that would change. And that's about eleven really shot in the what I read the break on a blog and I really clean out what that -- an apartment that Japanese. I couldn't believe I pulled him. And don't wake me up the summit -- during. It is like impossible -- got two guys. And you know the world is. You guys all you got Napoli and it got that victory while they. The sick he's seventeen. In the chemistry that it. And you know -- I don't want that on just one thing. In not once but. That's a good perspective I like it joke I'd give him my perspective since with the same meet somebody asked me early this morning. They said. What if they win it tonight. What will how you know how do you categorize this one how would be different and I said well this is my answer is sort of the same thing you -- a little differently though. In my Red Sox lifetime. I was seven in 1967 so like I did live. But I didn't understand it you know I I just knew my dad took me to like five games that year I remember being -- and the first base. On deck circle and senior as his number eight and was bigger than life but so -- But I didn't have the misery that year so in my Red Sox life -- the defining moments there were five of them. Leading up to all four and they all ended in defeats 67 was remarkable but they lost. 75. Was the year you know pudge and all those guys -- on Dwight and everybody. But they you know pudge this home run was the final and they lost seven -- it was Bucky Dent. Right eighty Sixers Bill Buckner and then all three was Grady Little and Pedro so here's here's how I look at characterizing this championship now. -- four knocked off all three. Right 07 knocked off. -- 86. And Bill Buckner. And this one knocks off Bucky Dent so right now we get two more to go to get rid of the reds 75. And get rid of 67 okay that's life. All adults and wanting to open up -- shelling. It suddenly -- Well yeah I ended tiger's round in the. Light on what your record it. We get that would develop but I looked well like I bought it not. Yeah that was a hard eight but I don't know off all right that we got no right. It actually got to win six then how's that. Drive save. Drive saved my friend. If it's not celebrate its championship. I mean anything we say isn't right or wrong it's just it's a championship. And what they do and New York right now. And a New York my -- dryness ultimately used to record fox networks of fox five in New York. All of them pretty nasty message tonight he's been avoiding calling me back and I said look. Just because you're avoiding this phone call doesn't mean you can avoid the inevitable. -- Sox right now. Okay. And we're about celebratory parade in the last eleven years is always the Jets. And is always a break in here is right now and we go right back to your calls Jim -- -- Europe next on WB yeah.

In pictures: 30 years of the Apple Mac
Apple's iconic Macintosh - or Mac - celebrates its 30th birthday today. The first ever Mac began a revolution in personal computing.
Apple's iconic Macintosh - or Mac - celebrates its 30th birthday today. The first ever Mac began a revolution in personal computing.
An iTunes game that asks users to perform plastic surgery on a character to "make her slim and beautiful", has caused outrage on Twitter.
US computer giant Apple claims it has reached a deal to bring the iPhone to China Mobile, the world's biggest phone carrier.
Apple will make the most expensive acquisition in its history, after confirming a deal to buy Dr Dre's Beats Electronics for $3bn (£1.78bn).
The luxury headphone brand and its music streaming service was co-founded by music mogul Jimmy Iovine and US rapper and producer Dr Dre, who called himself the "first billionaire in hip hop".
Technology giant Apple is stumping up the huge price tag, by far the highest it has ever paid in a takeover, to counter a threat posed to its iTunes store.
The announcement comes three weeks after deal negotiations were leaked to the media.
Apple and companies that make phones using Google's Android software have filed dozens of such lawsuits against one another around the world to protect their technology. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs called Android a "stolen product."
Google and Apple informed a federal appeals court in Washington that their cases against each other should be dismissed, according to filings on Friday. However, the deal does not apply to Apple's litigation against Samsung Electronics Co Ltd.
Apple has battled Google and what once were the largest adopters of its Android mobile software, partly to try to curb the rapid expansion of the free, rival operating system.
Google's Motorola Mobility unit and Apple have agreed to settle all patent litigation between them over smartphones, ending one of the highest-profile lawsuits in technology. In a joint statement, the companies said the settlement does not include a cross license to their respective patents.
"Apple and Google have also agreed to work together in some areas of patent reform," the statement said.
Apple is in talks to buy the headphone maker and music streaming operator Beats Electronics for $3.2 billion (£1.9 billion), according to the Financial Times (£).
A deal could be announced as soon as next week, sources have reportedly told the newspaper.
It would be Apple's largest ever acquisition should the deal go ahead.
A US jury has found that South Korean smartphone maker Samsung had infringed Apple smartphone patents and ordered the company to pay its US rival $119.6 million (£71 million).
During the month-long trial in a federal court in San Jose, California, Apple accused Samsung of violating patents on smartphone features including universal search, while Samsung denied wrongdoing.
In a counterclaim filed by Samsung, the panel also said Apple infringed Samsung patents and ordered it to pay $158,000 to the South Korean company.
Apple had sought $2.2 billion after accusing Samsung of infringing five of its patents covering functions such as slide-to-unlock, universal searching and quick linking.
Samsung claimed that Apple violated two patents on streaming video and had sought $6 million.
Oscar-winning filmmaker Danny Boyle is in talks with Sony Pictures to direct a movie about Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, with Leonardo DiCaprio tipped to star in the title role.
The pair could reunite, according to The Hollywood Reporter, after working together in 2000 on The Beach.
The movie is the second about the late Apple co-founder, who died in 2011 at the age of 56 after suffering from pancreatic cancer.
US technology giant Apple has filed a patent that aims to make texting while walking safer by replacing the text background with a live video feed of whatever is in front of the smartphone user.
Apples 'Transparent Texting' patent says: "The camera can be a rear-facing camera on the device".
It said video images will be displayed behind the text messaging session, with the user "less likely to collide with or stumble over an object."
The future of the 99p music download looks bleak because of a change in VAT rules as the Treasury bids to reclaim more than £300 million in tax from tech giants like Apple and Amazon.
Chancellor George Osborne announced in last week's budget that multinational firms will have to pay the UK's standard 20% levy on all digital sales to British customers from next year.
Both Apple and Amazon currently benefit from a lower VAT rate on music downloads from their online stores like iTunes and Google Play by operating out of Luxembourg.
The changes are expected to see the 99p rate for a single download rise when the new rules take effect in January to end the loophole.

Government ministers have been criticised for spending taxpayers' money on "expensive gadgets" after it was revealed they had paid over half a million pounds for Apple products.
Since the general election in 2010, Whitehall departments have splashed out on 464 iPads, 314 iPhones, 160 Mac computers and two iPod touches, costing an estimated £640,000.
The figures, gained through Freedom of Information requests, also showed that the Home Office had spent over £48,000 in 2013 on 100 iPads, three iPhones and six Macbooks.
Five departments including the Ministry of Defence, the Department for Education and the Foreign Office refused to reveal how much they had spent.
A Labour source said: "Hard-pressed families will think this looks like huge indulgence during these tough times"
A Cabinet Office spokesman said: "Hard-working people expect us to get best value for their money so we won't apologise for using modern technology which saves money and helps civil servants do their jobs, providing the services on which we all rely."
Apple posted record revenue figures during the last quarter with the help of a raft of new products but shares dropped shortly after market open in the US.
It was the first period fully taking into account sales of the highly anticipated iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, as well as marking the launch of the iPad Air and iPad mini.
Apple's revenues hit $57.6 billion (£34.8 billion) for the last three months of 2013, a new quarterly record for the company.
The firm also posted profits of $13.1 billion (£7.9 billion) were also made - equal with the record profits set 12 months previously.
Apple sold 51 million iPhones - a new high for the company, though short of forecasts peaking at 60 million - while iPad sales also set a new record of 26 million.
However, Apple's shares slumped by as much as 7.5% in the 30 minutes after trading in the US following the disappointing sales figures for the new iPhones.

While the Major League club continues to fight its uphill climb toward the fifth and final postseason spot in the National League, the Washington Nationals Minor League system has combined to compile quite a year. Four of the six stateside affiliates clinched postseason spots, with one already taking home its league title.
After cruising through the regular season, the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Nationals swept through the postseason to claim the GCL Championship on Sunday.
The GCL Nats, who set a Minor League Baseball record for the best domestic regular-season winning percentage (49-9, .845), defeated the GCL Pirates in a one-game semifinal on Friday, 6-1, to reach the best-of-three championship. On Saturday, they snatched a 10-3, come-from-behind win over the GCL Red Sox at the Washington Nationals Training Complex in Viera, then followed that with a 7-2 win, in Game 2 on the road in Fort Myers to earn the title.
The pitching staff, which led the league in ERA, WHIP and shutouts this season, compiled a 1.67 ERA through the playoffs, led by righty Wander Suero and southpaw Hector Silvestre. Suero tossed five solid innings in the clincher, allowing just one run on one hit with seven strikeouts, while Silvestre shut down the Pirates in the semifinal with six shutout innings in which he allowed just one hit and struck out seven.
Offensively, the GCL Nats showed pop in all three playoff games, but impressively used an eight-run outburst in the seventh inning of Game 1 of the Championship Series to erase a 3-0 GCL Red Sox lead. Randy Encarnacion collected five hits, four runs scored and five RBI throughout the three-game postseason run, while Drew Ward added four hits, three runs and four RBI.
The Nationals have three other playoff-bound affiliates remaining, with the Low-A Hagerstown Suns, High-A Potomac Nationals and Double-A Harrisburg Senators and each headed for the postseason.
South Atlantic League First Half Northern Division Champion Hagerstown (80-57) will take on the West Virginia Power (Pirates) in a best-of-three series, where the Suns will have the home-field advantage for the final two games. The series opens Wednesday at 7:05 p.m., while the Augusta GreenJackets (Giants) and Savannah Sand Gnats (Mets) battle for the Southern Division title.
Two Hagerstown representatives earned SAL All-Star honors in second baseman Tony Renda and Manager Tripp Keister. Renda leads the league in games played (134), at-bats (517), doubles (43) and runs scored (99). Keister is in his first season with the Suns after helming the GCL Nationals last year. Both were also named as midseason All-Stars.
Potomac (84-55) claimed both first- and second-half Carolina League Northern Division titles and will face the Lynchburg Hillcats (Braves) in a best-of-three set starting Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. at Pfitzner Stadium. By virtue of winning both halves, the P-Nats will enjoy home-field advantage for all three games of the series, should a third game be necessary. The winner will take on either the Salem Red Sox or Myrtle Beach Pelicans (Rangers) in the best-of-five Mills Cup Championship Series.
Potomac righty reliever Robert Benincasa and outfielders Michael Taylor and Billy Burns were chosen as year-end Carolina League All-Stars. The trio ties the P-Nats with the Carolina Mudcats (Indians) for most representatives on the roster. Benincasa has registered 25 saves in 26 chances between Hagerstown and Potomac this season, logging a 3.54 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 28.0 innings since his promotion in June. Taylor leads the league in doubles (39) and extra-base hits (55) and has also fired 20 outfield assists this season. Burns, who was recently promoted to Harrisburg, led the Carolina league in batting average (.312) and steals (54) in 91 games.
Burns and Harrisburg (77-65) will face the Erie SeaWolves (Tigers) in the first round of the Eastern League playoffs, as the Senators wrapped up their Western Division title with a 1-0 shutout Monday. They will play in a best-of-five set starting Wednesday, and the winner will advance to the Eastern League Championship series for another best-of-five showdown with either the Binghamton Mets or Trenton Thunder (Yankees).
The Senators feature a dynamic starting rotation, headlined by righthanders Nathan Karns and A.J. Cole, and rising lefty Robbie Ray. Karns, who made his Major League debut in May, went 10-6 with a 3.26 ERA and 155 strikeouts in 132.2 innings this year for Harrisburg. Cole, acquired from Oakland prior to the season, had a terrific finish in Double-A after starting the season in Potomac. He went 4-2 in seven starts for the Senators, compiling a 2.18 ERA and 0.904 WHIP in 45.1 innings of work. The 21-year-old Ray capped off a breakthrough campaign with an 11-5 record across two levels, striking out a system-high 160 batters in 142 innings.

Names and Numbers

With 40 rounds and over 1,000 picks, the MLB First-Year Player Draft can be confusing to follow. That was even more the case for the Nationals this season considering first-round pick Lucas Giolito joins current starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez, and second-round selection Tony Renda shares nearly the same name with 2011 first-rounder Anthony Rendon. If that wasn't enough, third-rounder Brett Mooneyham was selected fresh out of Stanford University, while Brandon Miller, the player the Nats selected next, set numerous records in his time as a power hitter for… wait for it… Samford University.
To help clear it all up here is a more detailed look at those who signed from the Nationals top 10 selections.
Tony Renda: 2B, University of California, Berkeley
Renda, the Nationals second-round selection, was a junior playing second base for the University of California, Berkeley Golden Bears. Where he truly excels, however, is at the plate.
"In our opinion, Tony has the quickest bat in the draft," Nationals Director of Scouting Kris Kline said of Renda immediately after the organization selected him.
This season, Renda had a .342 batting average, five home runs, and 27 RBI. As a sophomore in 2011, he was named Pac-10 player of the year, and was selected as one of 50 players on USA Baseball's Golden Spikes Award Watch list as the nation's top amateur baseball player. Look out for Renda's performance with the Short-Season Auburn Doubledays, as he takes his first step on the long ladder of professional baseball.
Brandon Miller: OF, Samford University
The Nationals selected Samford University's school record-setting alumnus, Brandon Miller, with their fourth-round pick. In the 2008 draft, the Red Sox picked Miller, a high school senior at the time, in the 33rd round. A true power hitter in college, Miller led the nation with 23 home runs this season, and was 15th with 65 RBI.
Miller "has middle of the lineup power," said Nationals Area Supervisor Eric Robinson. "[He] reminds me of our own Tyler Moore."
Spencer Kieboom: C, Clemson
Spencer Kieboom (KEE-boom), a duel citizen of the US and the Netherlands, was the Nationals' fifth-round selection. He struck out only 17 times in 204 at-bats this season. Kieboom was named to the Johnny Bench Award Watch List in both 2011 and 2012, and was an All-ACC Academic Team member in 2011. After signing with the Nationals, Kieboom sent the following thank you message to his fans on Twitter:
"These past three years at Clemson have been some of the best years of my life, Clemson baseball is and always will hold a special place in my life. I wouldn't have traded these past three years for anything."
Hayden Jennings, OF, Evangel Christian High School (LA)
While Jennings may not have had the same hype as Bryce Harper did going into the draft, he is another left-handed hitting outfielder who just happens to share the exact same birthday as Harper. Jennings hails from Shreveport, LA and the 19 year-old was set to head to LSU this fall until he signed with the team a week ago. Last Thursday, he was sitting at his kitchen table surrounded by his parents and three sisters, when he officially inked his deal with the Nats. Jennings joins the Nationals after leading Evangel Christian High School (LA) to a state championship during his junior season in 2011. He was named the Shreveport Times All-City Player of the Year and Class 2A Most Outstanding Player as a senior this season.
Derek Self: RHP, University of Louisville
Derek Self was the Nationals ninth-round pick out of the University of Louisville, where he pitched for four years. In his first three seasons with the Cardinals, Self had a 14-3 record in 70 appearances (15 starts). Following his junior season, Self was taken in the 27th round by the Oakland A's, but opted to head back to school for his senior year, where he led the team with seven saves in 26 appearances out of the bullpen. While he started the 2012 season as the Cardinals set-up man, he eventually took over as the closer. In 2009, Self pitched the final three innings in Louisville's College World Series Regional win over Middle Tennessee State, where he threw 27 of 29 pitches for strikes.
Craig Manuel: C, Rice University
Craig Manuel comes to the Nationals from Rice University, where he was the second of eight Owls selected in the 2012 Draft. This past season he was on the national watch list for the Johnny Bench Award as the best Division I catcher. In his four years with the Owls, Manuel led his team to four straight Conference USA Championships, four NCAA appearances and was error free in 463 attempts. But it wasn't just behind the plate that Manuel excelled. He finished his collegiate career with a .291 batting average and 100 RBI in 209 career games.
"I think he's one of the top catchers in Division I, and he may be one of the best situational hitters in college baseball," Manuel's Head Coach at Rice, Wayne Graham said.

Game 54: New York Mets (31-25) vs. Washington Nationals (31-22)
RHP Jeremy Hefner (1-2, 5.60) vs. RHP Edwin Jackson (1-3, 3.17)
Tonight, the Nationals are looking to secure a second win over the Mets in game two of the series at Nationals Park. After the 12 inning-long battle last night in which Washington used each of its relief pitchers, starter Edwin Jackson is toes the rubber for the Nationals tonight.
The Nationals notable selection of the second day of the MLB First-Year Player Draft was University of California-Berkeley second baseman Tony Renda. He hit .342 with 16 doubles, five home runs and 27 RBI as a junior in 2012. His 16 stolen bases led his club and ranked second in the Pac-12. For his efforts in 2012, Renda was named Third-Team TPX All-American by Collegiate Baseball as well as First-Team All-Pac-12.
With his game-ending hit in the bottom of the 12th inning last night, Bryce Harper became the first teenage to record a game-ending hit since 1988. With RBI in the 8th, 10th and 12th innings, Ian Desmond became the first big leaguer since Cincinnati's Art Shamsky in 1966 to tie a game three separate times in the 8th inning or later.
The Nationals are 13-7 against NL East competition (4-1 vs. ATL, 2-3 vs. MIA, 4-2 vs. PHI, 3-1 vs. NYM) and their .650 intradivision winning percentage is tops in the NL East.
From the Desk of Mark Lerner: Developing from Within

Hello everyone. Welcome to another big week here at Nationals Park.
Take a look around you. We have a full-fledged pennant race going on. And like many Nats fans, I have never had so much fun.
Just knowing that every game means something – every division game essentially constitutes two games – this race has taken my scoreboard watching ups and downs to new levels. Can you imagine this in September?
How about witnessing history on Sunday afternoon as Steve Lombardozzi and Bryce Harper became the first pair of rookie teammates in modern-day MLB history (since 1900) to begin a game's first inning with back-to-back home runs.
These two young guys seem to provide a thrill or two every night. Even though the Braves came back to win Sunday's finale, I took solace in knowing that Steve and Bryce are homegrown products. Is there anything better for fans than cheering for players unearthed, drafted and developed in your own system?
Lombardozzi is literally homegrown, as he hails from Atholton High School in Columbia, Maryland. Upon Lombardozzi hitting his first big league homer, I was able to congratulate his father, Steve, on his son's big moment. His urge was to run out to the bullpen to get the ball, but I told him we had it under control.
Speaking of homegrown, on Monday night we drafted righthander Lucas Giolito from Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles with the 16th pick in the 2012 Draft.
In talking to Mike Rizzo, Roy Clark and Kris Kline, they conveyed to me that Lucas is the epitome of what a high school power pitcher should look like. He's already 6-foot-6, 220 pounds and has not turned 18 yet.
Entering the new year, Lucas' talents had him on a short list of players to be considered for the draft's top overall selection. Lucas unfortunately strained his right elbow during his senior season at Harvard-Westlake. But he was immediately examined by some of this country's foremost doctors who happen to reside in the L.A. area. We have been made privy to all of his medicals and felt totally comfortable calling his name at pick #16.
Then, in the second round, Rizzo took Cal-Berkeley second baseman Tony Renda, who is said to have strong offensive skills (he was the Pac-10 player of the Year as a sophomore) and even better intangibles. In the third round, we tabbed Brett Mooneyham, a lefty out of Stanford University who is 6'5″ and 225 pounds. Power pitching!
The beauty of this is that despite Lucas' supreme talent, there is no urgency on our part. Remember, we have a fleet of young power pitchers in place for the next 4-5 years. Their names: Strasburg, Gonzalez, Zimmermann and Detwiler. So, when Lucas and his power arm are good and ready to ascend to the big leagues, we'll find the space.
Most scouts will tell you that Day Two of the Draft is a much better reflection of a club's scouting department and its depth than Day One, which is overflowing with high-end talent. I am always excited to chat with our scouts who really are the vanguards of the sport. There is no 'tomorrow' in this game without a scout nearby.
I am looking forward to getting up to Fenway Park this weekend as interleague play restarts. I am also even happier that Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmermann are slated to face Boston's deep lineup. Should be a fun weekend test for Davey and the boys.
Reminder to get out and vote for your favorite Nationals as part of MLB's All-Star Vote, whether it be at Nationals Park or online.
I have already punched a few ballots and am especially hopeful that Adam LaRoche can get some much-deserved traction. And don't forget you can vote for both Harper and Lombardozzi as write-in candidates.
Enjoy the games everybody … and see you soon at Nationals Park.
2012 Draft: Top Ten Rounds Recap
Follow @Nationals on Twitter | Like the Nationals on Facebook
The 2012 First-Year Player Draft is in full swing, with rounds 2-15 taking place on Tuesday. The Draft got started with a televised round one on Monday night, and will conclude with the final 35 rounds taking place on Wednesday. In the meantime, here's a little more on the Nationals top 10 selections from this year's crop.
1. RHP Lucas Giolito | 6'6" – 230 | Harvard-Westlake HS, North Hollywood, CA | 16th overall
See our complete breakdown of Giolito here.
2. 2B Tony Renda | 5'8" – 180 | University of California-Berkeley | 80th overall
The 2011 Pac-10 Player of the Year, Renda has drawn Dustin Pedroia comparisons due to his surprising power at his size. A plus defensive second baseman, Renda hit .342 with 16 2B, 5 HR and 27 RBI in 54 games for the Bears en route to being named a 2012 third-team TPX All-American in 2012. Renda leaves Cal tied for fourth on the schools all-time career doubles list with 51. In 2012, he led the Golden Bears with 16 SB and 29 BB.
Scout's Take: In our opinion, Tony has the quickest bat in the draft. He has always hit. He brings controlled aggression and a strong, compact swing. He has tremendous makeup and is a great kid. – Kris Kline, Nationals Director of Scouting
3. LHP Brett Mooneyham | 6'5" – 235 | Stanford University | 111th overall
Mooneyham was selected as a fourth-year junior out of Renda's college rival, Stanford. The tall lefty was the Cardinal's number two starter this season, following eighth overall selection Mark Appel (PIT). Mooneyham went 7-5 with a 4.26 ERA over 14 starts and was fourth in the Pac-12 with 90 strikeouts.
Scout's Take: A plus athlete with a fastball that touches 97 to go along with a plus curveball and changeup. Mooneyham projects as high as a number three starter. His father, Bill, was a former Major Leaguer. - Kline
4. OF Brandon Miller | 6'1" – 208 | Samford University | 144th overall
A senior redraft by the Nationals, who also selected him in the 48th round in 2010 (the Red Sox selected him out of high school in '08), Miller led NCAA with 23 HR while being named 2nd team Louisville Slugger All-America. He leaves Samford as the career leader in HR with 39.
Scout's Take: A redraft out of Junior College, he has middle of the lineup power. Miller is a versatile catcher who profiles both at right field and catcher and has great makeup. His profile reminds me of our own Tyler Moore. – Eric Robinson, SE Area Supervisor
5. C Spencer Kieboom | 6'0" – 220 | Clemson University | 174th overall
A junior, Kieboom was rated the #84 prospect in the preseason by Baseball America. The backstop is a two-time ACC Academic Honor Roll member
Scout's Take: We thought Spencer was one of the best defensive catchers in the country. He hit very well during ACC play. He's a workhorse. – Nationals Assistant GM Roy Clark
6. OF Hayden Jennings | 6'0" – 170 | Evangel Christian Academy (LA) | 204th overall
Jennings logged a .439 batting average along with a 0.00 ERA in three pitching starts. The outfielder hit 12 home runs as a leadoff man, driving home 31 RBI and swiping a perfect 23-for-23 on the base paths. Jennings was an honorable mention All-American as a junior in 2011.
Scout's Take: He's a center fielder that can really run. He's a plus defensive player overall and a leadoff hitter. - Kline
7. RHP Robert Benincasa | 6'1" – 180 | Florida State University | 234th overall
In 29 appearances in 2012, Benincasa allowed just five earned runs in 35.0 innings pitched (1.29 ERA), going 4-1 with a team-leading 15 saves along the way. He was named first team All-ACC, a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy, a third team All-American by Collegiate Baseball ,and a finalist for Stopper of the Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.
Scout's Take: He's put up tremendous numbers this year. He goes 90-92 with a sinker and uses the slider as an out pitch. He's a strike thrower with good command and good feel. He should progress quickly through the system. – Kline
8. SS Stephen Perez | 5'11" – 175 | University of Miami | 264th overall
While he may be better known for his fielding, Perez led the University of Miami with four triples, 18 stolen bases and 32 walks. He also ranked among team leaders in doubles (tied-second, 12) and home runs (second, five).
Scout's Take: Perez is a switch hitter that displays some power from the right side. He's a very solid, smart base runner. He is a slick fielder up the middle. He displays some flash, some flare, some excitement. - Kline
9. RHP Derek Self | 6'3" – 205 | University of Louisville | 294th overall
Selected in the 27th round as a junior by Oakland, Self returned for his senior year and led the Cardinals with seven saves in 26 relief appearances. The righty posted a modest 3.41 ERA, but his 23-5 strikeout to walk ratio bodes well, and only five of the 34 hits he allowed went for extra bases.
Scout's Take: We've been watching him for two years. Has a hard slider and his fastball is 90-93. He began the season as Louisville's setup man but eventually took over the closer role. – National Crosschecker Jeff Zona
10. C Craig Manuel | 6'1" – 205 | Rice University | 324th overall
Manuel showed a great eye at the plate, drawing 18 walks while striking out just 13 times his senior year. The backstop also logged a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage behind the plate.
Scout's Take: He's been a starter for 3 years and has handled all of their big pitchers. Very good receiver, very good thrower. His coach called him one of the best situational hitters in college baseball. – National Crosschecker Jimmy Gonzales

This may seem to go against common sense, but women who get their exercise in the form of martial arts find their newfound skills to be advantageous in the bedroom. Not only are martial arts (or any exercise-oriented self defense training) excellent for your health because they're geared to strengthening and toning the body, but that strategic edge against predators women get when they feel strong and confident translates very well to the bedroom. That kind of "take charge" confidence means the woman can occasionally take an assertive, even dominant sexual role and not always fall back on the usual feminine stereotype of being passive. It's terrifically stimulating to know that if you want, you can pin your partner down. Don't knock it until you try it.

Saturday, 01 Jan 2011 09:41 PM
CHICAGO — Former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun has become the "consensus" black candidate in Chicago's mayoral race, a position that African-American leaders believe will give her a shot at winning against a strong field that includes former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.
But now that she is in the spotlight, Braun will have to answer questions about her qualifications, as well as problems that led voters to boot her from the Senate in 1998 after one term and why voters should hand City Hall's keys to someone who hasn't been elected to anything for years.
She trumpeted her own resume Saturday at a rally with U.S. Rep. Danny Davis, who announced on New Year's Eve that he was withdrawing from the race, and state Sen. James Meeks, another African-American who gave up his own run for mayor days ago.
The loud and enthusiastic crowd included young people who weren't even born the last time Braun won an election, her historic victory in 1992 that made her the first African-American woman senator.
"I'm the most qualified candidate for the job of mayor of Chicago, make no mistake about it," she said, citing her time in local and national politics as well as her stint as ambassador to New Zealand as evidence of her skills and "connections from all over the world."
In a city with serious financial problems, Braun made special mention that she was the first woman to serve on the Senate's finance committee.
The withdrawal of Davis and Meeks signals that black political leaders believe Braun has the best chance to sway voters outside the African-American community, and on Saturday she said she could do it.
"We're going to bring black, white, brown, one side of town to the other, back together again," she said.
Also in Braun's favor, said the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., is her ability to raise money — something experts say will be crucial, particularly in a race against the well-financed Emanuel.
"They share many of the same concerns," Jackson said of Braun and Davis. "But they couldn't share the same base of financial support."
Jackson suggested that with Braun's fund-raising track record and ability to win support throughout the city, as she did when she won her Senate race and other races, the decisions by Davis and Meeks make sense. She has already convinced voters in all of the city's 50 wards to vote for her, he said.
On Saturday, Braun did not mention Emanuel, or two other prominent candidates, former public schools president Gery Chico or City Clerk Miguel del Valle, by name. But in recent days she has signaled that she plans to portray Emanuel as an outsider and not a Chicagoan. Emanuel beat a challenge to his residency, with an elections board decision to place his name on the ballot — a decision that is now being challenged in court — but Braun is not about to let the issue go.
After Davis groused about former President Bill Clinton's decision to campaign for Emanuel, Braun did the same — adding her own dig at Emanuel.
"What we have is an outsider running for mayor and bringing outsiders in to help him," she told reporters a few days ago.
Still, Braun will have to play some defense in the coming weeks. And that starts with getting as many blacks to vote for her as she can. Emanuel, who has won praise from the nation's first black president, Barack Obama, has throughout his campaign made it clear he's not going to simply write off blacks in the February election.
"With all the challenges we face, we must come together to work on behalf of all Chicagoans and address the need of every neighborhood," he said in a statement after Davis announced he was dropping out of the race.
Then there is Braun's own history and incidents that that raised questions about her judgment. Braun came under criticism when she visited with a Nigerian dictator when she was a senator, and faced never-proven accusations about misused campaign money.
Some of those questions still clearly sting. During a November interview with The Associated Press, her eyes welled up with tears when she was asked about other unproved allegations that she and her siblings divided up more than $20,000 of her mother's money that should have been used to reimburse a nursing home.
Braun will once again have to defend her single term in the U.S. Senate. Her problem is not just that she has not held elected office for years, but that while she was there she didn't "carve out a clear role in the Senate," Kent Redfield, a professor emeritus of politics at the University of Illinois-Springfield, told the AP when she announced she was running for mayor.
Braun, though, can be expected to maintain that she was an effective senator, that she pushed for legislation to rebuild crumbling schools and ensure pension equity for women.
Jackson agreed that Braun was an effective senator and said her efforts will resonate with various groups of voters.
"Carol has a good box score and she's particularly strong among women and among workers," he said.

Lions coach Johan Ackerman says that their 32-21 Super Rugby victory had been driven by the players wanting to show that they were better than the results they achieved on tour.
The Lions went through their tour of Australasia without a win and their losing streak had stretched to seven matches.
In 2012 the Lions finished the year with three victories in Super Rugby but their win over the Bulls was their fifth for 2014.
The Lions are optmistic about their future in Super Rugby as the victory showcased the character of the team and the bright future that lies ahead of them now that they have guaranteed Super Rugby.
"The boys are obviously glad to be home and they showed a lot of passion tonight. They were really hungry for the win because we felt we played better than our results overseas," coach Johan Ackermann said.
"It makes me proud that the team never gives up, they train as if they are a winning team and I can't fault the effort the last few weeks. It's nice to get the reward.
Ackermann pointed out that they still needed to be sharper in areas of their game.
"We weren't accurate in everything tonight, we lost a lot of lineouts, but we've learnt how to get out of our half and when to run the ball.
"The scrums were good and it was a big step up for Ruan Dreyer and Charles Marais after the late withdrawal of Julian Redelinghuys.
"The team fixed things well out on the field tonight and they worked hard for each other on defence."
Lions captain Warren Whiteley was happy his team had shown how much they learnt on tour.
"We've shown how much we've grown, our brotherhood and our passion. We learnt valuable lessons on tour and we've got processes in place to stay calm, just think of the next task and stick to the game plan. I'm really proud of the effort," Whiteley said.
The Lions' defence was another standout area on the night, with an 89% tackle success rate compared to the Bulls' 81%.
"Defence is something that epitomises us as a team, we pride ourselves on it. You can see our character and heart in it, the two try-saving tackles in the corner are one of those small margins that matter so much in Super Rugby," Whiteley said.
The Lions have climbed off the bottom of the log into 13th place and finish their campaign with home matches against the Melbourne Rebels and Cheetahs.

FDA's Mitch Zeller to Speak at 2015 NATO Show
Mitch Zeller, the Director of the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Tobacco Products, has accepted an invitation to speak at the upcoming 2015 NATO Show to be held on April 22-23, 2015 at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. This appearance by Mitch Zeller will provide an opportunity for NATO Show attendees to hear directly from the individual at the FDA who oversees the regulation of cigarettes, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless tobacco products and the extension of regulations to cigars, pipe tobacco, e-cigarettes, and hookah tobacco.
Mark your calendars now to be sure to attend the 2015 NATO Show and learn about current and proposed FDA tobacco regulations from Director Mitch Zeller.
Retailers Continue to Prevent Tobacco Sales to Minors
A new report just released by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) shows that retailers continue to meet SAMHSA's federally mandated goals of preventing the sale of tobacco to youth under the age of 18.
- Minnesota and Nevada: 1% violation rate; 99% success rate.
- Maine: 2.7% violation rate; 97.3% success rate.
- Kansas: 3.1% violation rate; 96.9% success rate.
- Montana: 3.2% violation rate, 96.8% success rate.
- Arkansas: 3.3% violation rate, 96.7% success rate.
- Mississippi and South Dakota: 3.6% violation rate, 96.4% success rate.
- Hawaii: 4.2% violation rate, 95.8% success rate.
- New York: 4.8% violation rate, 95.2% success rate.
NATO Submits Comments on FDA Tobacco Deeming Regulations
On Friday, August 8th, NATO submitted its formal comments to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regarding the proposed tobacco deeming regulations. NATO's comments included the following specific points:
1. NATO and its retail members support the proposed minimum age of 18 years old to purchase the deemed tobacco products, including cigars, pipe tobacco, electronic cigarettes, hookah tobacco, dissolvables, and nicotine gels.
2. NATO differs with the FDA on several characteristics in the definition of a premium cigar. Specifically, NATO disagrees with setting a minimum retail price of $10 per premium cigar as this price is unrealistic, arbitrary and capricious since not all manufacturers have a minimum suggested retail price, the retail price of a cigar will vary from state to state due to differences in state tobacco excise taxes, and a significant majority of premium cigars have a retail price below $10, with many premium cigars priced substantially less than $10 per cigar. Also, NATO explains in its comments that the variation in tobacco blends used in making premium cigars means that approximately 90% of premium cigars could be considered to have a characterizing flavor other than a having a "tobacco" flavor. The FDA proposal would only allow premium cigars to have a "tobacco" flavor. This means that banning flavors in premium cigars, other than "tobacco" flavor, would result in a ban on the sale of a majority of premium cigars since many have what could be considered by the FDA to be a characterizing flavor.
3. NATO questions whether the requirement for manufacturers to register pipe tobacco would also mandate that tobacco store retailers offering blends of two or more pipe tobaccos are required to register their pipe tobacco blends as if they were a pipe tobacco manufacturer. NATO's position is that retailers which blend pipe tobacco would only be blending tobacco already registered by the primary manufacturer making retailer registration unnecessary or that such retailers should be granted an exemption to blend up to 5,000 pounds of pipe tobacco each year without being required to register their new blends.
4. The FDA's proposed ban on sampling of the deemed products is questioned since sampling of cigars and pipe tobacco are a longstanding retail tradition and, like wine tastings at liquor stores, sampling of deemed tobacco products should be allowed to continue.
5. Although the FDA does not ban flavors for the deemed tobacco products, the agency is requesting comments on factors it should consider in determining whether a particular tobacco product such as a little cigar or other non-cigarette tobacco product could be characterized as a "cigarette" and thus subject to the current flavor ban. NATO argues that since Congress did not take action to extend a ban on flavors to tobacco products other than cigarettes, the FDA's request for input on whether a tobacco product such as a little cigar or other non-cigarette tobacco product could be characterized as a "cigarette" and thus subject to the current cigarette flavor ban is overreaching. That is, a federal government agency cannot on its own essentially change the definition of non-cigarette tobacco products in order to apply a cigarette flavor restriction.
6. NATO's comments included a serious concern that if the FDA requires manufacturers of tobacco products that were not on the market as of February 15, 2007 to file a pre-market tobacco application, then many smaller manufacturers may cease selling their products due to the time and cost involved in submitting this application. The FDA estimates that it will take a manufacturer 5,000 hours to compile information, conduct studies, and file a pre-market tobacco application to continue selling each newer tobacco product. This investment in time and studies may be too significant for some manufacturers to submit an application to keep their products on the market. In turn, this means that retail stores will be negatively affected because of the inability to sell such tobacco products.
7. NATO also explained how the FDA would have the legal authority and enforcement discretion to adopt a new grandfather cut-off date for manufacturers to file substantial equivalency applications if their tobacco products were very similar to a tobacco product already on the marketplace. The current cut-off date is February 15, 2007. NATO's comments recommended a new cut-off date as being either the same date the deeming regulations become effective or 28 months before the date the deeming regulations take effect. This would allow manufacturers to file substantial equivalency applications instead of a pre-market tobacco application.
As of August 8th, there were 82,181 public comments submitted to the FDA through the www.regulations.gov website. The FDA must now review each of the comments and determine if any changes will be made to the deeming regulations.
