V Day, It's not just for lovers!
Today is Valentine's Day. It's the day we celebrate romance and relationships.
All relationships.
Come on folks, let's be inclusive. Let's not just celebrate romantic relationships, let's celebrate all relationships. Let's celebrate our girl friends, our boy friends and those family members we actually like. And while we're at it we can throw in a few neighbors and some co-workers. These are all included in our relationships, they all have value, and they are all worthy of being celebrated.
All relationships provide the Alchemy of Intimacy. I know, for some it's more than others, and that's a good thing, but everyone in our lives brings us value. And, we in return, bring value to everyone we know. Yes, we (you) do.
Remember when you were in grade school and you pretty much had to give a Valentine to very one in your class? Good idea, right. No one was left out. Imagine being like that again. Imagine giving a special message of appreciation – one that says; You're Special – to all your friends and family, not just your significant other.
Even if you don't happen to have a love of your life in your life at the moment – you can still show your love of life. And Have Fun.
Enjoy Always, T
Stories and Relationships.
Every story ever told is about relationships.
Maybe not about male/female romantic relationships but there is always some kind of relationship in every story. It may be a business relationship, friends, parent/child, criminal/victim/detective, old man and the sea, and the list goes on and on. But there's always a relationship, someone is relating to someone else (or something else, like a big whale), because that's how we go through life; relating to the world around us.
I believe the best relationships are the honest and mutually beneficial relationship. The one's that create Critical MASS, Mutual Acceptance & Support Systems. Without Mutual Acceptance & Support we have anarchy, dominance and overbearing control…. I think you get the idea that those are less than ideal relationships.
Mutual Acceptance and Support means; I Accept who you are and that you're doing the best you can (given who you are) and I Support your efforts to be the best you can be. I have a note on my computer at work that reminds me "I'm doing the best I can, given who I am." It helps when I'm tempted to think I'm not getting it all done.
If we look for the good, we'll find the good, we'll see the beauty and open ourselves to seeing more. Even our troubles, set-backs and disappointments are full of beauty. When seen from a distance we can see the lessons to be learned and the life to be lived.
Stories – and life – are all about relationships. So next time, if I ask you, how you doing? or Heard any good stories lately, be sure to tell me about your 'latest relationship', because inquiring minds want to know!
Enjoy always, T
TRUST in a relationship is huge.
TRUST is akin to Believing.
Have you ever felt someone's trust? Completely?
Have you ever given someone your trust? Completely?
Can you take a moment to even imagine what that feels like?
It's like believing in Santa Claus, or perhaps we'll call it the spirit of Christmas. We believe good things will happen. And they do.
While they are not one and the same, trust involves unconditional love and unconditional love involves trust. Imagine saying to someone; "I trust you" instead of saying "I love you."
What would it mean to say I trust you? Instead of thinking – I trust that you won't hurt me, try thinking – I trust there's nothing you can do that will hurt me.
OMG, not true, not true you shout….. Or excuse me, what did you just say?
I trust that there's nothing you can do that will hurt me, because what trust really means is that I'm strong enough, all on my own, to love you regardless of what you think, do or say. Powerful stuff.
Think of a little baby, sweet, innocent and completely lovable. We love that little baby, unconditionally. We do not believe that baby has any intention of 'hurting' us. It can poop, cry, scream or smile and coo and we believe that baby is perfect. He or she is being a perfect little baby, doing the only thing it knows how to do. We trust that baby to be the best baby it can be.
But we're grownups here. Let me use a cliché example and hope you can see the bigger picture. Imagine a man and a women, a couple, together somewhere. You get to imagine the setting and scene. A beautiful woman walks by and the man checks her out. Noticeably checks her out. You know, the whole eyes locked and following her every move checking her out. He doesn't try to hide his appreciation of her beauty. How will the woman he's with react?
IF she trusts that he loves her and feels safe in their relationship she will trust and accept that his ogle (appreciation of the other woman's beauty) is just that, an ogle and nothing more.
When we're in a relationship we don't suddenly put blinders on and no longer see the rest of the world, nor should we. I do NOT believe I should stop looking at attractive men (or women) because I'm in a relationship. Thankfully I know my partner (my lover) is well aware that while I may look, I have no desire to touch. I'm perfectly happy with my lover and I'm not going anywhere. And if I can give him that same trust – oh what a beautiful gift we both share.
And, if your mate does look and want to touch – go read this post. Because being in love does not mean letting someone step on you.
Besides, Why in the world would you want to be with someone who doesn't want to be with you? Please, let me know if you have a good answer to that one.
TRUST. When you have it, you let go of fear.
Believe and happy holidays.
Enjoy always, T
He made me so mad….. No he didn't.
Haven't we all heard someone say; he made me so mad? Maybe we've even said it ourselves.
Well, let me tell you, no he didn't….. make you mad. 'He' did not make you mad. You chose to be mad.
BTW, This is not a post to bash men. I'm using the term 'he' only because I don't favor using he/she or some such silly thing. So when ever you see 'he' feel free to replace it with 'she' if it'll make you feel better, because I'm all about making you feel better. Now back to the regularly scheduled post.
It's so very common of us to blame another person when we get mad. It's very easy to say, He makes me so mad. I know I've said it. We use their actions to justify our anger. But it's still our anger. Our feelings. Our choice.
That's not to say that someone isn't being rude, or obnoxious, or mean, or ugly, or well you get the point. They may be acting in a way that any reasonable person would observe as offensive, but you still have to choose to be offended. OR you can choose to let it go. I read a quote by Ken Keyes Jr once that said, You put as much negativity in the world when you TAKE offense as when you GIVE offense. That was one of those 'WOW' moments for me. It put a whole new thought into my head. And I took it to heart.
Several years ago…. in a land far, far away, I was having a heated discussion with a friend of mine. At the time this 'friend' was becoming much less of a friend. In fact, we were very close to going our own separate ways. He was critiquing some of my recent activities, judging them to be poor choices, bad and just plain wrong. I tried to sit there and listen to his critique (criticism) without getting mad. I really tried. But then he said one thing too much and I lost it. Blew up big time. Yelled, screamed and stomped out, vowing to never return. I think you get the picture.
But now comes the pop quiz. What made that 'one more thing' the thing that set me off?
Answer: ME.
I had reached the point where I choose to get mad. He'd been trying to make me mad for several minutes. And I had been doing a fairly good job of disappointing him. I had been doing my best to stay calm. I think that's what pushed him to keep going. He wanted to get a rise out of me and he kept pushing until he was successful. Not a pretty picture, I can assure you.
The funny thing is, it didn't occur to me to just leave BEFORE I got mad. Nooooo, I waited until I had reached my limit and then I stomped off in a huff. Why didn't I just excuse myself when the whole critique session started? Why didn't I just bow out, say thank you for your time, but now it's time for me to go? I don't know. I wish I had. Not because it would have saved our friendship, it had more problems that just that one, but because it would have saved my temper. I could have chosen to save myself from getting mad. I could have seen my limit on the horizion and blown some wind into my sails to catch the receding tide. But no. I stayed, with some dimwitted idea that it would be rude for me to leave.
Let me tell you, it was far more dimwitted for me to stay and let him heap abuse upon me, mostly because I know I'm not good at taking abuse. BTW, that's not a talent I plan to pursue anytime soon.
This post is getting too long, so I'll close for now and post about how to avoid choosing anger on another day. Let me just say, we are the only ones who get to choose our emotions. No one else can make that choice for us. They may know how to push our buttons, but we have to give them the remote control.
So for now, Enjoy always, T
The romance of romance.
I love a good romance story. Real or fictional
I've been reading romance for years, decades. It's best if you don't ask how many….
I have boxes full of my 'keepers,' romance stories that I've read and keep in case I ever want to read them again. As you can guess, I tend to like Scottish historicals, time-travel adventures, fairies, elves and wizards. Some of my favorite authors are: Janet Chapman, Melissa Mayhue, Monica McCarty and Karen Marie Moning. I know because I just looked in one of my keeper boxes. These women are my heroes. They've done great things. They've written romance stories that people (mostly women) want to read. I should be so lucky.
I've always enjoyed good loving and sweet romance. When I meet a new couple for the first time I like to ask them how they met. Lots of people have really good stories. In future blogs maybe I'll share a few. I like watching couples interact. NO, not like THAT, I mean in public. I take notice of how a couple interacts with each other in public, like in restaurants, on public transportation or even just walking down the street. Body language speaks if we just listen. We hear it with our eyes.
Many years ago when my marriage was coming to an end (yes folks, I have been married and divorced! It was hard but I did survive, thank you very much) I was accused of being too romantic, that I was looking for romantic love, not the stuff of real life. Darn right I was. But here's the catch, at least for me, I believe that romantic love is the stuff of real life. It's been my real life for the last five years and still going strong. And let me tell you, I have no plans on giving up on my romantic love life.
After finding the romantic love of my life it was easier for me to write romance. Now I know what it feels like and it just seems natural. I really like a good romance story. I really believe in the value of two people falling in love. It's what we're all looking for, that happily ever after. It make our world a better place.
I believe romance stories aren't just about kiss-face and boy meet girl (or vice-verse). It's about the personal transformation that only relationships can provide. Its about the lives that are affected by these two people. A good and right relationship can change the whole direction of a person's life in incredibly positive ways.
That's why I write romance. There's enough violence, and sadness, and pain in the world. I don't need to add to the trash heap with my writing. I want to show the world love, and all the joy that love can bring. I'm a hopeful romantic and proud of it.
BTW, I have read stories about vampires or werewolves and I know I don't like them. I don't like violence. I don't do violence. I don't write about violence. Really, isn't there enough 'real' violence in the world without making up stories about it. Please….. Well, go ahead and write what you want, just don't expect me to read it. Or if I do, it won't go in my keeper box.
Have you read any good romance lately?? Try Return In Time. I hear it has a happy ending.
Enjoy always, T

A NEW trading agreement between Australia and Japan has been welcomed by workers in the car retail and beef industries in Orange.
Tariffs on export beef are set to drop from 38.5 per cent to 19.5 per cent for frozen beef and 23.5 per cent for chilled beef during the next 15 years.
The largest cuts will come in the first year, with 8 per cent to be cut from frozen beef and 6 per cent to come off chilled beef.
McCarron Cullinane director Lindsay Fryer said any support was positive.
"We would like to see a zero tariff, but it will mean we can export more beef into Japan," he said.
"Any improvement is good for the beef industry."
Mr Fryer said about 40 per cent of cattle coming through the saleyard was eventually exported, particularly heavy cattle.
Fellow director Darren Connick said the Japanese preferred higher quality cuts.
"That's where there'll be more competition," he said.
"The more money is available at the top, the more farmers will spend for the restocking calves - it's a win-win situation."
Despite $1500 in tariffs removed from Japanese cars imported into Australia, Orange Toyota general manager Ron Palmer said consumers would be unlikely to see a price drop.
"[The manufacturer] will be more likely to chuck in a reverse camera or something like that, they don't like to show a reduction in prices," he said.
"Corollas are the same price as 20 years ago, but they've got a lot more gear in them."
Mr Palmer did not expect a change in sales as a result of the free trade agreement.
"It's a good thing because people will get better value for money, but we don't want people thinking prices will go down," he said.
However, member for Calare John Cobb disagreed on car price movements.
"A car that wants to beat a better vehicle will only be able to do that by being cheaper," he said.
Mr Cobb said the agreement was not perfect, but it would deliver benefits, particularly the removal of 15 per cent tariffs on wine exports during the next seven years.
"It's a breakthrough in a market that made no apologies for protecting its own industry," he said.

2 Raven Black Hair
I'll twin with my ringlets of raven black hair
The roses so red, the lilies so rare,
They myrtte so bright with its emerold hue,
And the pale aramata with eyes of dark blue.
He taught me to love and he promised to love,
To cherish me always all others above;
I woke from my dreaming, my idol was day, (day)
And the passion-for-loving had faded away.
I'll dance and I'll sing, and my life shall be gay;
I'll charm every heart in the crowd I array;
Through my heart it is breaking he never shall know
That his name makes me tremble, my pale cheeks to glow.
I'll dance and I'll sing, and my life shall be gay;
I'll stop this wild weeping, drive sorrow away;
I shall live yet to see him regret the dark hour
That he won and neglected this poor wild wood flower.
(Edith Walker, Boone, North Carolina)

Misery Index Biography
Misery Index is an American death metal band formed in 2001 in Baltimore, Maryland by Jason Netherton (bass, vocals), Mike Harrison (guitar, vocals) and Kevin Talley (drums). Some say the band is named after Assück's last album of the same name (1996), however the socio-political theme featured in many of the lyrics also point towards the economic term (both increasing inflation and unemployment result in the rise of the misery index). As of 2006, its line-up consists of Jason Netherton (bass, vocals), Sparky Voyles (guitar), Mark Klöppel (guitar) and Adam Jarvis (drums). Their music is best described as death metal with strong hardcore and grindcore influences. Their vein of music is often said to resemble their fellow Maryland death metal outfit Dying Fetus, as Netherton and Voyles are former members of the band. Misery Index's lyrical subject matter is quite left-wing, often coinciding with anarcho-punk aesthetic and focusing mostly on the ills of modern society. They have toured with bands such as Fear Factory, Mastodon, Nile & Suffocation. They have also released a promotional video for 'The Great Depression' from the 'Retaliate' album and as of late November 2006, have a promotional video for 'Conquistadores' (from the album 'Discordia') ready to release.

Dozen people temporarily displaced after small Manchester fire
District Fire Chief Mark Pelletier said a maintenance man smelled smoke at the 383 Merrimack St. building and called 911 just before 7 p.m.
The fire was in basement wiring running underneath a first floor joist, he said. Firefighters used a chain saw to cut out a section of the beam because of fire damage.
Pelletier said about 12 tenants reside at the six-unit apartment building (one apartment is vacant) and all had to find alternate housing because power was cut to the building.
They will not be able to return until an electrician is brought in and repairs are made, according to Pelletier. He estimated damage at $3,000.

3.4/5 rDev -2.9%
Funky aroma of strong malt and interesting hops, I like it. Medium-dark copper pour solid head and lacing. Biting mouthfeel that sticks with you, I like it. Upfront taste that knocks you back a bit then settles down. Some strong coffee is present, rather bitter. Peculiar ale, but I do like it.

The aroma is very balanced between the malt and the hops.
Taste is also well balanced. A good start with the sweetness of malt, but is quickly replaced by the hops. Not overly done in any direction.
The brew pours with good head retention. It produces a light tan cranium.
Good enough for another go around.

A - Pours out a burgundy color with a small, short-lived head. No lacing.
S - It mostly smelled of malt and hops.
T - Despite smelling fairly hoppy, it wasn't. It tasted rather nutty and like a blending of malt and grains.
M - Crisp and dry. It is light-bodied.
D - It is an okay beer. I won't rush out to buy more but if offered a Black Dog, I won't turn it down.

Pours with a frothy, large bubbled, tan colored head that sits atop a lightly hazy deep orange-amber colored brew. The aroma is a mix malty notes of caramel lightly toasted whole grain bread and fruity notes of cherry & strawberry. The taste starts out with a certain smooth creaminess, but quickly moves to a light frothy spritziness. This beer has a nice (though fairly subtle) zesty hop character to it that adds a bit of a bite as well as some nice flavor zing. The taste is quite fruity with notes of cherry and raisins. There is a bit more hop character than I was expecting in this beer and there is a nice fruity character to balance it. Actually not a bad example of an English style Pale Ale.

Dark amber, clear with nice carbonation visible. Thick creamy light tan head. A very malty aroma to this one, caramel malts, some slight "sense" of hops. Good malt based flavours, quite fruity in aspect and a small touch of hops in the end. Not a bad mouthfeel, but just a tad on the thin side for the style. A nice simple drinkable pale ale. nothing exciting but nothing bad.

This brew has a dark orange/brown body, with a good-sized cream colored head. Nose is light and sweet grain malt, maybe a bit of citrus. The taste is a mainly bitter hop, with some lightly sweet malt in front. The feel is weak and runny, ruins any potential this beer has for me. Not the worst beer but i wouldnt recommend it over others.

A well made American version of an English pale ale. A nice brew to reach for when you in a quandry for what to drink. Medium amber with decent head. Light malt and faint hop aroma. A bit more flavor than the aroma indicates. All in all a solid brew. Cheers to the longevity of Spanish Peaks.

A - Pours a clear dark amber color, nice carbonation, tiny head, some lacing afterwards.
S - Scents of sweet malts and slight caramel.
T - The taste is sweet and a tiny bit bitter.
M - Medium body.
D - Drinkable. This is a nice tasty brew.
First off this is not a APA, it's a English Style Amber Ale. Also the brewery is in Bozeman, Montana not CA. Or do I have a totally different brewery?

Orange copper color, decent white head, plenty of carbonation in these bottles. Smell some carmelized malts.
First taste brings on the malty flavor and a hint of nuttiness. Just a hint of hops in there. Mouthfeel is fine, not too thin a brew. Nothing stands out too much on this one, even though it is a good beer.
I have had it before and I am sure I will buy it again.

Pours a dark amber color with a one-finger head. Aroma is somewhat malty with a nice hop bitterness showing through. Biscuity and smooth. Taste is chewy and malty with the same hop bitterness that fades in the aftertaste. Somewhat fruity as well at the back of the throat. Very drinkable though.
The label says Amber Ale but the style says American Pale Ale. Somewhat confusing but similar to Roxy Rolles in regards to bending the styles. Not a bad ale at all.

Appearance: Pours a mostly clear reddish amber color with a persistent creamy tan head that is about 1/4" It is leaving some pretty thick lacing on the class as you swirl it a bit. There are quite a few bubbles rising to maintain the head, and it is still very active quite a few minutes after the pour.
Aroma: I get quite a bit of sweet caramel that was backed by a fresh floral hop presence. A very subtle roast is there along with an equally reserved metallic note.
Taste: The roast is a bit more assertive in the flavor than I suspected from the aroma. I do get a whole lot of sweet caramel in here as a base, but it doesn't hold up for too long as the roast and hop bitterness kicks in and runs the show into the finish. The finish is somewhat dry with a mild lingering bitterness. There is no real alcohol noticeable and the residual mouthfeel is more from the hops and dark malts as from the alcohol.
Opinion: This is a pretty decent beer. I like the staying power of the head and it is still there after I have drank over half the beer. It seems that the Brown Ales from Montana (like Moose Drool) have a very pronounced dark caramel component. Big Sky's beer has a sweeter balance that I prefer...but this one is pretty good. I would drink it again.

Poured from 12oz bottel into SABL glass.
A. 2 finger head. Color is caramel brown. Decent head retention. Not very much lacing.
S. Nice caramel malt smell. Smell some dark fruit & raisins. Molasses. Not a very big hop smell.
T. Taste is very much like the smell. Dominant carmel malt taste. Semi-sweet. Brown sugar. Not much hop taste or bitterness.
M. Medium bodied. Pretty smooth. Low-medium carbonation. Semisweet aftertaste.
D. Nothing amazing but a drinkable brew. Maybe a little too malt forward of a pale ale for me.

Poured a nice ruby/amber color with a thin off white head. Light lacing and moderate retention.
Smell has a nice toasted malt profile with a nice breadyness.
Flavor has a nice bit of toasted malt with a very balancing amount of crisp hops. A very even beer.
Mouthfeel is light and refreshing with a decent bit of carbonation.
Nothing outstanding, but a solid session beer.

Noted right on the bottle that this is a English style ale, NOT an American PA as its listed under here.
And it really hits the English PA to a tee. Very nice drinker, very enjoyable and I bet low enough alcohol to make a good session brew.
Lite cola brown pour, firm ivory head producing sheets of lace. Then the English kicks in, aromas of a hoppy woody grain, followed by a tasty treat quaff loaded with grassy, resinous and woody malts.
Sharp and crisp body, she finishes clean and tasty.

Pours brilliant coppery-red. Head is foamy, crisp and white with moderate lacing.
Aroma is caramel malt, and tropical fruit. Slightly sweet. Pleasant hop aroma.
Taste is balanced malt and hops. Understated citrus fruit, and caramel malt. Very bready, toasted malt. Finish has a mildly crisp hop bite.
Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied. Slight hop oiliness.
Overall a decent session brew. The label states that it is an English style ale; it is balanced and mild with unified flavor. However, it lacks the distinctive taste of English beer. Still this is a decent brew that I will enjoy again.

On tap into the pint glass, an amber brown clear color with many tiny bubbles. Thick, creamy 1-finger head of light tan foam with heavy lacing. Good head retention; theres a sold cap down to the bottom. Great looking beer. Nose is hoppy and sweet. Flavor is a nice, moderate crisp bitter with sweet undertones, finishes a clean, mild bitter. Not complicated, just enjoyable. Mouth is crisp and clean; the moderate carbonation feels tingly on the tongue. Drinkability is very good; this is a simple, tasty, and refreshing ale. Easily sessionable.
Overall: A solid brown/amber ale, recommended.

Pours a nice dark chestnut with a nice head and some lace. Malty and earthy or yardy smelling. Taste is kind of like an Oktoberfest. Big malt taste. A little hops afterwards. Somewhat astringent. Doesn't taste like it is very strong alchoholwise.
Just an average drink.

a - poured a two fingers thick light tan head that leaves great lacing and sheeting throughout. very surprised at its retention. body is amber but more on the brown side.
s - fruity and malty all at the same time. hard to distinguish specifics but i know they are there.
t - citrusy at the front and malty in the back.
m - slightly thin and bubbly.
d - this is way more complex than i thought it would be. highly drinkable and a session i will go back to.

So this is the discussion thread for the Giants 2nd round pick. To review the discussion on the first pick, the thread is here: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2012/5/8/3007347/mod-san-francisco-giants-1
The Giants pick 84th, so there is going to be all sorts of grumbling while favorites get popped. However, instead of bitching about Brian Sabean's love of $5MM LOOGYS that would have netted us a sweet supplemental pick somewhere around #50, lets get creative and pick out a nice list of candidates to grab.
2 Comment Starters: First, here is John Mayo's 80-90, for the hell of it: Skye Bolt, Preston Tucker, CJ Hinojosa, Tyler Gonzales, Martin Agosta, Tony Renda, Austin Maddox, Nick Williams, Austin Dean and JO Berrios.
I love my middle infielders, Tony Renda on the board looks good to me. I doubt very much Martin Agosta is still available but I think he would be a fine pick. Preston Tucker would fit right in the MO of college OFs John Barr has demonstrated.
Baseball America releases a new top 100 sometime today. We can post that up and discuss it.
Here is Fla-Giant's list of Second Rounders and downward, I think this is a good place to start as well:Some more names to consider in rounds 2 & 3...
In alphabetical order:
Alex Bregman: SS/2B, RHH, Albuquerque Baseball Academy, NM (could be a steal at #84 if he might sign)
Damien Carroll: RHP, King George HS, VA (raw basketball player, but has been touching 95 mph this spring)
Tim Cooney: LHP, Wake Forest Univ. (erratic spring, but he has a good 4-pitch mix with a fastball sitting 90-92 mph)
D.J. Davis: CF, LHH (throws RH), Stone HS, Wiggins, MS (speed merchant who has been flying up a lot of draft boards)
Nolan Fontana: SS LHH (throws RH), Univ. of Florida (great instincts and batting eye – and best college defensive SS available)
Eric Hanhold: RHP, East Lake HS, Tarpon Springs, FL (another tall HS sleeper that has touched 95 mph this spring)
Kurt Heyer: RHP, Univ. of AZ (has scuffled this year, but he likely has the stuff to make it into the backend of a MLB rotation)
D.J. Hicks: 1B, LHH (throws RH), Univ. of Central Fla.(poor man's C.J. Cron who hit well on the Cape)
Chad Hollingsworth: RHP, Robinson HS, Waco, TX (big ol' hoss of a kid with a heavy FB in the 91-93 range)
Pat Light: RHP, Monmouth Univ., NC (K'd 15 batters in a game last week – has 91-93 FB that consistently touches 95)
Peter O'Brien: C, RHH, Univ. of Miami (One of the top 3 college power hitters available)
Nick Petree: RHP, Missouri State Univ. (Pierce Johnson's teammate – has not allowed an earned run in last 64.1 innings)
Dane Phillips: C, LHH (throws RH), Oklahoma City Univ. (poor man's Mike Napoli – his hit tool is fringe-plus)
Alec Rash: RHP, Adel-Desoto-Minburn HS, Adel, Iowa (another HS basketball star who's future is on the mound – mid-90s FB)
Jonathan Walsh: SWH (throws RH), LF, Univ. of Texas (Giants drafted him in 18th round of 2009 draft – fimally showing results)
Max White: LHH, OF, Williston HS, Williston, FL (an athletic and speedy sleeper who has started to hit for power this spring)
Who are you looking at for the Giants in the 2nd?

Brent Barry- He is going to be happy this summer regardless of who he signs with.
Rick Kamla- He cannot be had for less than max money. He turned down 60mil because it is not max money and he is a max player.
Eric Snow- He will get it ( Max Money). It is just a matter of whether he is going to take it in Atlanta or not. It is not a matter of how much but where.

Gregory Kinsey, 20, has been charged with two counts of capital murder. According to Fort Smith police Kinsey killed two men, 39-year-old Brandon Prince and 32-year-old Nathan Young, with a machete outside a home on June 27, 2013. Police found the two men lying in the grass hacked to death. Kinsey fled the scene and was later arrested at his mother's home. Kinsey pleaded not guilty to the charges.
A man accused of killing two people with a machete will face the death penalty.

text: my son is almost 1 year old. I had him while dating a marred man for 7 years. He told me all the lies and lets sa was stupid enough to believe them. His wife threaten my life as well as my son if we do not leave him alone. So I do not want my son around her or at her home. I am a full time student and now my parents are helping me to take care of this child while he's taking care of her 3 kids. His sister advised me to apply for child support because I will need help and cannot rely on my parents for everything. I am just afraid that he will try to fight me for custoy of my son who he claims he wants a DNA test on and only saw for 3 hours out of the 2-3weeks he was in the hospital (he was premature). Should I proceed with my child support claim and medical claim for my son?

Anna Cottam Hatch Cramer's great-grandfather
John, an English pioneer, was a man without guile. He was noted for building excellent chairs. He shares a birthday with descendant David Cramer!

Happy 163rd Birthday, Gold Rush!
The California Gold Rush drew many Americans west in the same era as our pioneers, and the Mormon Battalion members were even there at Sutter's Fort when gold was first discovered. This event involved our ancestors in various ways. Several actually participated in the Gold Rush; our two Mormon Battalion members (Orin Hatch and William Muir) were there at the initial rush, and William brought some gold dust back for his wife Jane. In Missouri, John Welch earned money making Bowie knives for Gold Rush settlers headed out West.
Our non-Mormon Hiram Cramer walked from Pennsylvania to California as a teenager in 1850, and stayed for three years prospecting. Then the story says that he walked east until he reached the end of the railroad line and rode a train back to Pittsburg. He brought home enough gold for his fiancee's wedding ring. (Another account given by Hiram's neighbor Neil McNeil's relative says that Neil and his boyhood friend Hiram Cramer left New York City to sail around Cape Horn to San Francisco and became part of the Great Gold Rush in California and Nevada.)
Thomas Grover went to California in 1848 to settle matters with the Brooklyn ship Saints and some cattle business for the Church, and worked in the gold mines for a year. Thomas collected thousands of dollars in gold dust from the California Church members and turned it into the Church tithing fund along with his own generous contribution; Brigham Young put his hands on Brother Grover's shoulders and said, "Brother Grover, if every Latter-day Saint would do as you have done, there would be no need of a tithing among this people."
William West Woodland drove a herd of cattle for the Church to California, and then went with a company to buy cattle in Mexico. He returned to California and panned for gold with his brother John for a time (one day collecting enough to fill a baking powder can, and panning fifty thousand dollars' worth total) until his equipment was washed away in a storm. About this time all Latter-day Saints were called back to Utah due to Johnston's Army, and William obeyed the call; his brother John stayed in California and William never saw him again. In his late twenties, William returned to California and heard of a feverish gold rush in Australia. He sailed there, a two months' journey, but when he arrived, he wasn't impressed so he returned to San Francisco on the same ship.
Not all of our ancestors in Utah thought this so great either. One of Ira Hatch's plural wives left him for some acquaintances going to California with the Gold Rush. And Asa Calkin wasn't impressed with the hype; he wrote in his journal in 1852, "Gold and the Devil reign supreme in California."

Happy 158th Birthday, William Hunter (1853-1926)!
Gayle Wells' great-grandfather
As a child, William sailed from Scotland through icebergs, crossed the plains, and then as a teenager helped build the St. George Temple. These early adventures transformed into a life of staid respectability, leaving a paucity of records and photos of William and his family.

It was inspiring to me that the people of the Boston area stood shoulder to shoulder in solidarity and sang "God Bless America." Our hearts and prayers are focused on those families that have suffered tremendous pain and sorrow due to death and injury of this vicious act at the Boston Marathon.
My Bible states that evil will always have plans to harm the innocent (Psalm 140). I believe that when I lay my head on my pillow at night and nothing tragic or really bad has happened to me or my loved ones, I have been blessed that day. Maybe I will get my flag back out and let it wave every day and thank God for my blessings daily and not wait until tragedy strikes again.
It just might let God see that we appreciate every blessing.

The game against the Colts highlighted several weaknesses in the Cardinals personnel (i.e., OT, and the lack of pass rush by the OLB.), but it also highlighted a bigger question in my mind. Who are the Cardinals? You know what the Colts are. They are a pass oriented offense and they have build their team around that notion. That is who they are and who they will be. Their defense if designed to stop the pass. They can build future pieces into the system because they know who they are. They can do this because of Peyton Manning.
Who are the Cardinals? Are they a pass oriented offense- yes, this year. The Cards have the skill players that fit that description but obviously the offensive line does not. The OL seems more designed to plow block in a running game, yet they haven't really demonstrated that ability yet. Warner is the quarterback for now but what should the Cardinals be building for in two years? Will they be a pass oriented team? Will they be a ball control, play-action team (which I think fits Leinart's ability better)? Should they keep two high-priced receivers? All consistently great teams have a system and have a vision and find players to fit it.
The same questions could be asked on the defensive side. Right now the defense seems build to bend but not break so that the offense can outscore the opponent. (Someone needs to teach DRC this principle) That approach won't be very effective if the offense is a ball-control offense. The front seven have demonstrated an ability to stop the run (if we could convince Berry to hold the edge just one time!). Is that by design or has the increased beef along the DL just naturally had this effect? The defense is only a few pass rushers away from being solid. Why didn't we go that way in the off season?
So what are the Cardinals trying to become? Why did we draft a running back and took a pass on pass-rushers in the first round? (That is not intended to slight B.Wells or C. Brown- just a question of priorities.) What is the vision?
For me the Colts game made me wonder where the Cardinals are going? (I am assuming we are not just making it up as we go along.) From what you have seen and heard will the Cards move towards a Steelers-style of offense? If so what does that mean for Boldin? Should we expect an increased focus on the OLB in the off season? Is Dansby that essential for the future? Anybody think they have a clear and consistant picutre of where Graves, Whiz, and the front office is taking this team?

There are many laws that occur in Nature, and many of them can be applied to a business or a Football Organization that also qualifies as a business.
1. Such a law is the 80-20 rule. I will leave this one for another time and focus on another one that I want to discuss today, and it is the Bell Shaped Curve. See Figure 1 Below:
Notice that the Yellow has the most area under this curve. This would be equal to what could be considered the number of "things" that are average, and the blue colors are the number that are both above average and below average, and the red are the exceptional and the poor.
Now, the "things" can be TEAMS, COACHES, WR's, etc, etc. The point is that in the NFL as in anything, you will find that this curve occurs naturally and that most teams fall into the average category, and then the next most would be those teams that are both above average, and below average and then the red is the few that are exceptional and horrible.
What happens in the NFL is that the draft and the salary cap are designed so that over the long haul, teams will even out in terms of talent if most of the organization is average, and then if you have the better GM, the better Head Coach, and the better Coordinators, you can move into the blue and red areas.
Now, with that said, I would like to offer one other thing to consider. As far as the talent on a team goes, where do you want the bell shaped curve to fall out. In other words, do you want the red to be the QB? And the Blue to be the WR's and Running Backs, or do you want the offensive and Defensive Lines to be the blue and the QB to be the Red.
I think of all the cliches that are touted in the NFL, the one that is most true is that "The Games are won in the Trenches" and that Teams that can impose their will are the ones that are man handling the other line by being more physical and more dominate in moving the piles.
Teams that have everything in the yellow, are the ones that rely on luck and injuries to make them 10-6 and 6-10 rather than the 8-8 that the league is trying to force with the parity rules in place.
So, if you have your bell shaped curve in the right areas as far as the players on the field is concerned, the next area that you need to consider, is that aside from talent, the other thing that wins is scheme. So, if most teams have about the same talent, the key would be to insure that you have the blue and red Coordinators because they implement the schemes that can overcome equal or inferior talent.
This brings me to the conclusion of my article. The coaches that impact the outcome the most in my opinion are the Coordinators. If they innovate they will make it to where you have a much wider scoring differential and thus more room for mistakes and the bounce of the ball.
And this means we need an innovated OC. One that is not somebody who just teaches the same old receiver tree that is run with a small nuance. Somebody like Chip Kelly. A guy like Bill Walsh. Guys that can bring something that the defense will loose sleep over.
We need someone that will put some new wrinkles in the game plan and playbook that some will see as gimmicky, but in reality are plays that are "thinking out of the box." Things that hit real hard and then fade like the Wildcat, and then things that hit hard and may not fade so quickly like the Zone Read and the Hurry-up that the Pats run. Of all the Organizations, the Pats put the most effort in keeping the Offense way ahead of the other defenses. There lies the reason why the Pats are routinely up in the red as the highest scoring team from year to year, as they continue to look for any edge in innovation like the two tight ends and the schemes they used to get them open. The use of a short super quick slot guy that can easily get open because of his quickness.
When your organization has too many parts in the yellow, then you wind up in too many close games and that is one reason that we find this team hovering around the 500 mark. Right in the yellow in Wins and Losses.
The head coach needs to focus on just being the head coach and paying attention to the details of time clock management, and when to go for it on fourth down, and most importantly managing the managers.
We need a new OC. One that is not in the Yellow!

USGS Ohio Water Science Center
What we're doing...
Of Interest...
Before Swimming Or Paddling, Check The Water Quality.
6/18/2014 -- Each morning, beach managers post advisories stating whether water quality at the beach is predicted to be poor or good that day based on the Ohio Nowcast. Nowcasts predict whether E. coli bacterial levels in the water are within the water quality standard and acceptable for swimming. Nowcasts are based on real-time beach specific variables such as turbidity (cloudiness of the water), recent rainfall, and wind conditions. Traditional analytical method takes 18-24 hours to complete and can lead to erroneous assessments of public-health risk because it relies on "yesterday's" E. coli and water quality conditions may have changed. As described in a recent USGS report, nowcasts are being developed or improved at over 40 beaches around the Great Lakes. Safe swimming!
Licking County Now More Prepared For Floods.
3/20/2014 -- A new flood warning system is available to help Licking County, Ohio, better prepare and plan for floods. The USGS and National Weather Service, along with seven local, county, regional, and State agencies partnered to create digital flood inundation maps for portions of the Licking River Watershed. These maps will allow emergency officials, planners, homeowners and businesses see which roadways and properties will be impacted by predicted flood levels. These maps will supplement river observations and flood forecasts from the well-established USGS streamgaging network and NWS Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Services. The maps are available at (http://water.weather.gov/ahps/inundation.php) and at (http://wim.usgs.gov/FIMI) and more information on flood inundation mapping for Licking County can be found in the USGS report.
National Groundwater Awareness Week – March 9-15, 2014.
3/9/2014 -- Why is the river flowing if it has not been raining? Where does the farmer get all that water for irrigating the crops? Where does my drinking water come from? Groundwater could be the answer. Excluding the glaciers and polar icecaps, 95 percent of the freshwater in the world is groundwater. Groundwater is the water that seeps into the ground and fills the spaces and cracks in the rocks below the surface. It is not typically an underground river or lake. Learn more about groundwater and USGS groundwater studies at the USGS Water Science School and USGS Groundwater Information Pages. National Groundwater Awareness Week is sponsored by the National Ground Water Association and many partners.

Coach Bob Stoops: Men, we are trailing 36-27 with a little more than 2:24 left in the game. I know we have owned Missouri in the past, but I am not sure if we can pick up this 4th down and 10, from our own 7 yard line. We are going to punt the football even though every instinct in me says to give you all a shot at converting this 4th down and hopefully winning this football game.
Team: Um, Coach? We have never quit on anything related to a football game in our lives, much less here at OU. Why do you want to punt here? Come on Coach!
Coach Bob Stoops: Men, I know you do not understand, but I need you to trust me. It is not that I do not have faith in your abilities, but if we do not get this first down and Missouri scores, we will lose by 16 points and the result will make this loss appear worse than it actually will be.
Team: So, you really want us to quit coach? You honestly do not believe we can pull this one out? All we need is a field goal and a touchdown. With our offense, we have a shot! Plus, we have plenty of time!
Coach Bob Stoops: Men, all of you are warriors. To try and win this battle may actually cause us to lose the war.
Welcome to the new era of "strategic quitting" in college football's BCS era. Wetzel tweeted about this earlier today. Let me explain...
Stoops' bet is a simple one: He knows Alabama has one loss and that loss was by 14 points, on the road, to a conference foe in South Carolina that just lost to lowly Kentucky, thus turning that blemish possibly into a raging North Star pimple on the nose of the Alabama Crimson Tide. Stoops is preparing for the politicking, which may be necessary to reach the BCS National Championship Game, that has taken over college football most seasons. "Our loss was not as bad as your loss and here is why." Sadly, this may become the new norm and reality for college football until sensibility, fairness, and transparency returns one day in the future. When this occurs, Coach Stoops can actually do what all of Sooner Nation wanted him to do when he finds himself in this same situation again: try and win the damn game, coach.

Frozen shoulder is when the shoulder is painful and loses motion because of inflammation.
Alternative Names
Adhesive capsulitis
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The joint capsule of the shoulder joint has ligaments that hold the shoulder bones to each other. When the capsule becomes inflamed, the shoulder bones are unable to move freely in the joint.
Most of the time there is no cause for frozen shoulder. However, risk factors include:
- Cervical disk disease of the neck
- Shoulder injury
- Shoulder surgery
Open heart surgery Hyperthyroidism

I am having a big problem with my aloe vera plant and I'm really hoping you can help. I've even asked the garden centers at Home Depot and Lowe's, but no one seems to have any answers for me. My problem is that the leaves are turning reddish-brown and curling inward. Right now, I have it in part shade and part sun. I water every three to four weeks. I'm wondering if this is a sunlight problem or if it is time to fertilize? What would you recommend to help the plant? Am I not watering enough? Any advice you could offer me would be more than appreciated.
— Alison Lerch, West Sacramento
According to UC master gardener Maria Schiffler, aloes are flowering succulent plants. There are more than 250 species of aloes in the world, most of them native to Africa. The most commonly known is the aloe vera. This popular succulent is renowned for its medicinal qualities. The clear gel inside the leaves is used to relieve burns, sunburn, frostbite, psoriasis, cold sores and other skin irritations.
But what's ailing your plant? You are experiencing some common problems of aloe vera:
• Leaves lie flat instead of upright: Usually because of insufficient light.
• Leaves are thin and curled: It's not being watered enough and is using up its own liquid.
• Leaves are brown: Too much direct sunlight.
• Very slow growth: High-alkaline soil or water; too damp for too long; not enough light; or too much fertilizer.
First, check the bottom of the pot for overgrown roots. If it is root bound, transplant to a larger pot with a drainage hole (good drainage is important for aloe vera). Choose a container that is the next size larger; for example, if the old pot is 6 inches, move up to 7 or 8 inches — not 12 inches.
When it is root-bound, the plant will seem top heavy. Remove new shoots or "pups" when they are 3 to 4 inches high and replant them in their own pots. If you do not, they will suck life from the mother plant. Signs of this happening: The mother plant will get bright green and spread its leaves horizontally rather than vertically.
Plant the pups in sandy-gritty soil that drains quickly, such as a basic cactus mix or a homemade mixture of one-third each of sand, soil and pumice or gravel. Cover up to the top of the root ball.
Do not water a newly potted aloe for a few days. Allow time for broken roots to seal themselves and time for the plant to get used to its new home. Water lightly at first, and then once established, give it a good watering every two weeks. Let soil dry out completely before watering again.
Do not let aloe sit in overly moist conditions. Aloes do not like to be cold or wet. From April to October, water regularly. During the rest of the year, water twice a month. Aloe can go months without water.
The sign of too much sun is orange discoloration or brownish spots on the leaves. (That may explain the reddish patches on your plant's leaves.) Choose a location in indirect light.
Aloe plants will freeze and need some TLC in winter; make sure to protect it during frost dangers.
If using aloe vera to soothe skin, harvest leaves as you need; the plant quickly seals and heals it wound. But remember: The leaf will not grow back. Choose the leaves closest to the ground, as they are the most mature and most potent.

Lawyers Argue Legality of 'Suicide by Court'
Posted Apr 13, 2007 1:31 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Lawyers for Kentucky death-row inmate Marco Allen Chapman contend their client is trying to commit "suicide by court."
The state supreme court heard arguments yesterday in a case challenging the legality of Chapman's sentence, the Associated Press reports. In 2004, he pleaded guilty to killing two children and asked for the death penalty.
Chapman's lawyers argued the trial judge should have sought evidence to mitigate the punishment, but prosecutors said the defendant was mentally competent to seek execution.

You know you are facing a fork in the road in your marriage when you realize if the two of you don't make a decision to go one way or the other you will hit a brick wall. Sometimes you have a pretty good idea of where the paths lead. Other times you may feel as if you are leaping into a deep canyon without any idea of how far you have to jump.
The Secret About Forks in the RoadThe most important thing to remember about forks in the road is to not hide your heads in the sand. When you come to a fork in the road, make a decision. Other tips to handling forks in the road:
- Accept that change happens and realize that not all forks in the road have negative consequences.
- If the fork in the road is due to the death of a loved one, allow yourself and your spouse the time and space to grieve. Accept that you both may grieve the loss in different ways.
- If the fork in the road is caused by a natural disaster such as a flood, hurricane, fire, or earthquake, be realistic about what you can and can't do and don't be in a rush to replace items.
- Keep a monthly journal. List the important decisions you make. Did you move, lose a job, get ill, purchase a pet, let go of a dream, have a child, have an extended visit from your in-laws, face a financial crisis, handled an issue such as pornography or infidelity in your marriage, take a vacation? At the ending of each year, reflect back on the year and talk with each other about the way the two of you handled the many forks in the road that you faced together.
What Forks in the Road Have You Faced?Most forks in the road are unexpected although you can foresee some forks in the road such as when your last child leaves home or if one of you decides to return to college.
As we look back on our years together, some of the forks in the road that have impacted our marriage and changed our lives include the birth of our children, the death of three of our babies, our divorce and remarriage, going back to college, illness and recovery, deciding to move, changing jobs, becoming an empty nest couple, coping with aging parents, fires, and remodeling our home. What forks in the road have you faced together?

Phone you had before your first iPhone.
I had a Motorola Rival beforehand. The phone was properly named since I think the phone's one purpose in life was to try to annoy me. I went through 3 or 4 warranty phones before my warranty period was up and I couldn't get any more replacements. The first one just stopped responding at all, the second's screen just went black and stayed black but the phone was still "alive", the third's screen became psychedelic with all sorts of odd colors not disappearing, and the final one I was stuck with would send texts before I was done typing them, it would mute me during phone calls, hang me up in the middle of a phone call, so basically for a year I had a paper weight that was sucking $30 a month and I had people around me let me use their working phones. So I never really got a chance to use it's keyboard.
Long story short: I went through a painful lesson on how you should always read reviews before buying a product.
I am so glad about my iPhone doesn't cause me problems like that monster.

I'm sorry for flooding this forum, I just hope that one day somebody will read my questions and answer them.
Anyway, I bumped into another peculiarity. When I enter text into a Text component in 'dictionary mode' (or T9, whatever it's called), and I wait a while when I have entered only part of a word, the complete word that is underlined gets wiped away. I get the feeling that it has something to do with either the print statements that produce output during that time, or with the redrawing of the component.
Any ideas?

There was evidence of surprise on the face of Blount County Sheriff's deputy Josh Antras when his name was called at a gathering Monday with Sheriff James Berrong and fellow deputies.
The field training officer's facial expression gave him away when Berrong called the squad room to order and immediately called Antras to the front of the room, announcing that he was the Blount County Sheriff's Office Deputy of the Year for 2007.
"I was very surprised," the 1998 Heritage High School grad said after the meeting.
Berrong said that after Antras put himself through the Law Enforcement Academy at Walters State Community College, he began his career at the sheriff's office in 2001 in the Correction's Division. In April 2005, Antras was moved to patrol where he has excelled in his duties, said Berrong, and in March was named Officer of the Month.
On March 9, Antras responded to a call at a residence of an elderly woman who had called 911 on her cell phone. The woman stated that she had no money and that her power had been cut off. Once Deputy Antras arrived on the scene, the woman told the officer she was on a fixed income, had very little money, and had used what monetary resources she had to help her adult children. She had no power, no flashlight and very little food.
"Deputy Antras displayed an overwhelming compassion for a member of our community who needed help," said Berrong. "Deputy Antras went to the store and, with his own money, purchased supplies and food for the woman. He supplied her with flashlights, batteries and grocery items, as well as food for her cat. He took the time to light candles in her house, and test the flashlights to make sure they were working. He contacted her church and notified them of her situation. Deputy Antras went way beyond what was required of him regarding this incident."
Berrong said the deputy displayed qualities "of a true hero in this situation. This woman's welfare, safety and even her life, were in jeopardy. He could have easily referred her situation to another community agency and walked away."
Berrong said Antras is an excellent patrolman and is always consistent and loyal in his duties. "He showed compassion beyond measure in this instance. We are very honored to have an officer of his caliber in our ranks," the sheriff said.
Chief Deputy Ron Dunn echoed the sheriff's assessment. "He went well beyond the call of duty," Dunn said regarding Antras' actions. "He took money out of his own pocket and that says a lot for him."
Antras said when he arrived at the woman's home, it was cold. "She said she didn't have any power. She didn't have any flashlights or means of supporting herself," he said. "I felt bad for her. I thought it was definitely the Christian thing to do."

text: Classes are back to normal today at Broadwater High School just four days after the tragic death of Senior football player, Dakota Kimbrough. School administration is describing it as very quiet and somber day. "They are very aware of what has happened, and still very sad about that, but some normalcy is returning for the kids." says Broadwater counselor Jill Flynn. Memorials are growing on the field and off, students at Broadwater High School are remembering Dakota Kimbrough who was killed in a rollover accident last Friday afternoon just hours after the homecoming parade. The Homecoming football game and dance were canceled among other events over the weekend due to his sudden and unexpected death. A vigil was held instead on the football field Friday night. School administrators are saying the process to get back to normal will not be easy. "It will be a long process because grief lasts weeks, months, so some show it outwardly some keep it more inside, and we just have to be attentive to that."Its only four days after the accident and school is back in session with normal schedule, although this Wednesday school will be cut short to prepare for Dakota's funeral service that will be held in the school gymnasium. "The funeral service will be held at the school on Wednesday at four o'clock. We will be holding an abbreviated school schedule on Wednesday so that the buses can run and get students home and the school can be cleared out. So that gymnasium can be set up for the services and then that will be held in the new gym at the school."Not only are people remembering Dakota on campus, but they are also taking it to social media. A Facebook page has popped up in remembrance of Dakota (R.I.P. Dakota Kimbrough), and coming from a high school with only around 200 students the page already has over 5,000 followers and just keeps growing from there.


text: Sorry about the brevity,posting from a mobile. In las Vegas sat. Night saw Tebow speak at a church there. He confirmed during the service that he had just worked out with Steve Young on Friday. Continuing to try to get better. Hadn't planned on posting but after not seeing anything reporting it, I felt it was my obligation to all the other fans out there. Again not speculation, straight from Tim's mouth. Go Broncos!

Though helping the Bengals get on the scoreboard last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, cutting a 14-point deficit in half. Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green suffered a hyperextended knee on the play. Green's participation during the game was limited for the remainder of the first half, to a stationary bike in the second half. During a full week of practice heading into the Baltimore Ravens, Green didn't participate and he's currently listed as doubtful with many beat writers all but writing, "out" on their daily reports. With Green sitting this weekend, the Bengals will need a wide receiver to step up this weekend to prevent Baltimore from stacking the deck and neutralizing Cincinnati's rushing offense.
Even though we're pointed out Jerome Simpson's struggles this year catching the football, Simpson has the potential to have a big play, a game-changing moment. With Green on the shelf, Simpson could be Andy Dalton's primary receiver, especially during those scramble-out-then-chuck-it-deep moments that's defined much of the quarterback's relationship with Green this year.
The last time Simpson played the Ravens (week 17 in 2010) Simpson posted 12 receptions (of 14 targets) for 123 yards receiving and a touchdown. Additionally Simpson has scored a receiving touchdown in two of the past three games this year and he's recorded as many 100-yard receiving games as Green has this year (2).

Howard Sinker passes along a comment from Seth Stohs, proprietor of SethSpeaks.net:
Has Carlos Gomez already helped the Twins to more wins than Johan would have been able to? I would argue that when Gomez is in the lineup, the Twins have done better and in several cases, he has had a very direct effect on the Twins wins.
Questions like this fall under the unofficial category of trips to the 'What-If Ball'; unsolvable hypothetical questions about what might have been if history had been different. They're fun questions, and can occasionally be illustrative questions as well, but it helps when the questioner actually goes all the way to the ball.
First, let's restate Seth's premise, paraphrasing Seth himself, to get a more complete picture of his hypothesis:
Had the Twins not traded Santana to the Mets, they would not have had Carlos Gomez to play center field and would instead have gone with Denard Span, a much less exciting player. In addition, the Twins would likely not have started the season with Nick Blackburn in the rotation, who has turned out to be arguably the Twins best starting pitcher thus far in 2008. If you undo the trade, and incorporate the other factors resulting from undoing the trade, the Twins don't look to be any better in the win column than they are now.
On the surface, that seems a fairly compelling argument. Looking a little more closely, however, shows that a few of the premises in this argument can be legitimately questioned.
First (and I won't take credit for this one, since a commenter on Howard's Strib blog noted it first), while it's true that Gomez has directly contributed to a number of Twins wins (Opening Night at the very minimum, plus some others depending on how you measure such things), it's also true that a regular player not only gets more opportunities to contribute to a win, but also gets more chances to contribute to a loss. While I'm not a fan of Win Probability Added as a measure of player value, I do think WPA has something to contribute to this specific argument -- has a player contributed more to winning than he has to losing over a given period of time? And Gomez's current WPA, according to fangraphs.com, is a -0.19; Gomez's errors, struggles at the plate, and other young player woes have basically combined to negate the good things he's done in Twins wins, resulting in an effective net balance in the negative (and a balance that's the second worst such balance among AL outfielders, behind only Emil Brown of the Athletics). It's impossible to say if Denard Span or Jason Pridie would have been as electric in Twins wins as Gomez has been this year, but it's reasonable to assume that neither Pridie nor Span would likely have been much worse overall.
Second, and I will take credit for this one, it's actually possible that Blackburn would still have started the season with the Twins in the rotation even if the Twins had held onto Santana; had the Twins actually signed Santana to an extension, guaranteeing that he wouldn't just leave as a free agent after 2008, it's very likely that the Twins would not have worried about signing Livan Hernandez to fill the top of the rotation slot -- though whether that would be because they didn't feel the need for another innings-eater or because they wouldn't have wanted to spend the extra cash after committing so much to Santana is debatable. If we assume that Santana thus would have started the games that Hernandez has actually started in 2008, it would be Santana, not Hernandez, who would be the beneficiary of the best run support in the AL, and it would be hard to imagine that Santana, given that kind of run support, would be anything but unbeaten at this point.
So the simpler premise, that Gomez has helped the Twins to the same won-loss record they'd have had if they'd retained Santana, doesn't look quite so defensible given these thoughts: Gomez hasn't contributed anything in a win-loss sense that any other outfielder in the AL couldn't have done, at least according to WPA, and Santana arguably would have won at least one if not both of the games Hernandez has been charged with losing in his ten starts thus far.
On the flip side of the coin, the larger issue likely stands: the Twins might well have been better off, but they wouldn't have been hugely better off -- they'd most likely be a game or two above their current record, if that much -- and given the size of Santana's contract, they'd likely be in a much less flexibie position to adapt to team needs to pick up necessary pieces to continue to contend while Santana remained a Twin.
Just because I disagree with Seth's specific premise here doesn't mean I think the trade won't end up working out long-term.
