Wherever you live, it's likely your local government makes big decisions without you. Should the city sell the old fire station to a condo developer? Where should the light-rail stops be located? In any given month, city councils, planning boards, and other committees make decisions that impact a community, and often with minimal input from residents. (Be honest: Did you want to take time to attend that committee meeting Tuesday night after a long day of work?)
Textizen, one of the winners of the mobile round of the Knight News Challenge, wants to give a boost to civic engagement through a suite of technology tools that allow residents to give feedback on community issues. Using its $350,000 award from Knight Foundation, Textizen will expand and begin working with cities around the country.
Textizen is a hybrid of the physical and the digital that gives people in a community real-world prompts to answer questions about important issues in their city. But instead of asking people to mail in a survey, responses are handled through mobile devices.
So let's say your local planning department is trying to figure out what to do with a problem intersection. Using Textizen, the planning department could craft a series of short survey questions using a web interface. Flyers throughout town would direct residents to a number to text responses to the survey. Using Textizen's web dashboard, the city would also be able to track and graph responses.
Web surveys aren't new technology, but Textizen takes an interesting mobile-centric twist by turning the survey into a kind of chat. After texting their initial response, users are sent a new question, and the survey begins to resemble the kind of texting back-and-forth you might have with a friend who is really into public policy.
"Textizen allows you to build a survey that sounds like a conversation and less like red tape," said Michelle Lee, CEO of Textizen. Lee said the software is designed to help cities and towns gain new kinds of engagement from residents. In order for a Textizen campaign to work, she said, you have to capture people's attention and ask focused, rather than general, questions. Places like bus stops, parks, or community centers are the ideal location because they provide a ready audience. From there, municipalities have to be creative in the ways they appeal to people, Lee said.
Textizen got its start as a Code for America project based in Philadelphia, working with city planners on surveys for various neighborhoods. Lee said one the reasons officials in Philadelphia were eager to work with Textizen is because of the uneven Internet access throughout the city. In parts of the city, many don't have Internet access at home, but mobile access is fairly high, she said. In that way, Textizen was the perfect tool to get feedback from areas officials have had difficulty reaching.
Lee said the pervasive nature of mobile technology is at the heart of Textizen. The number of cellphones in the U.S. is unlikely to shrink any time soon, so giving the mobile device a bigger role in civic engagement is a bet on the future. One key component of that, Lee said, is the use of SMS. Building the system around texting rather than a smartphone app — even as some news organizations step back from texting — gives Textizen access to the widest audience possible.
"Even though the SMS platform is rooted in reaching across the digital divide, SMS is still a first-class technology in the digital world," she said.

What are the effects of starting nursery school earlier versus later?
Does anyone know of studies looking into the effects of a child attending nursery school at age 2 in their later life? We have a one year old, and are considering putting him in nursery school, but a family member keeps warning us that being away from home and parents at any age earlier than 3 or 4 will cause our child to not develop a strong bond with home, and will hurt his adjustment later on in life. Everyone we know is putting their children in nursery school at 18 or 24 months, and want our child to have every opportunity to interact with other children.In Topics: Kindergarten readiness

A 16-year-old Bel Air boy is being charged as an adult in the alleged sexual assault of a girl at a party in Forest Hill last week.
The Harford County Aegis reported that 16-year-old Alessandro Lori is facing first-, second-, third- and fourth-degree sex offense charges, as well as assault and attempted perverted practice, in the alleged attack on Nov. 21 at a home in the 1900 block of Hill View Drive.
Authorities said Lori knocked the girl to the ground and held a lighter to her face, threatening to burn her with it as he attacked her.
Lori, a junior at Bel Air High School, could face a life sentence if convicted. He is currently being held without bail.

Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin (R,C-Melrose) yesterday voted against the Assembly Majority's one-house budget resolution because it lacks the most basic budget reforms needed to fix New York's chronic tax-and-spend addiction. McLaughlin also was disappointed that unfunded mandate relief was barely addressed, noting its exclusion from the one-house budget as "shameful."
"The Assembly Majority's budget resolution did nothing to solve the property tax problem or improve New York's toxic business climate," said McLaughlin. "Instead of addressing unfunded mandates, the shortfalls in school aid or the 800,000 unemployed New Yorkers looking for work, their top priority was increasing payments to people on welfare. During the floor debate, it was revealed that two-thirds of these payments would be going directly to New York City. Working people aren't getting a raise. Why should the people who aren't working get one?"
McLaughlin also was concerned that the proposal failed to include an all-crimes DNA database, a measure that is supported by all of New York State's 62 district attorneys and 58 sheriffs, as well as 400 police chiefs. This DNA database would help law enforcement identify suspects of more violent crimes, and, in some cases, exonerate people wrongly accused. The one-house proposal also included a measure to enact micro-stamping, which would dramatically increase the cost of owning and manufacturing certain types of firearms in New York State. A Second Amendment advocate, McLaughlin said he could not support such a measure.
"Micro-stamping doesn't prevent crime. It's just another feel-good Albany mandate that will drive more manufacturing jobs out of New York."

49ers running back said remarks showed respect Brad Biggs
Perhaps it's a little surprising to hear a San Francisco 49er that was targeted by Gregg Williams come to the defense of the New Orleans Saints and Jonathan Vilma.
But Frank Gore, the 49ers running back that Williams implored his defenders to attack, did just that. In comments to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee, Gore defended the type of player Vilma is and said the comments Williams made show a level of respect in the NFL.
On the infamous tape from the defensive meeting the night before the NFC playoff game, Williams says, "We've got to do everything in the world to make sure we kill Frank Gore's head. We want him running sideways. We want his head sideways."
Gore's response?
"When you hear another team call your name, that means respect," he said. "That's a lot of respect, and you're doing something right for your team. So it don't bother me at all."
Gore also defended Vilma, who has been suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for the entire 2012 season. Keep in mind, they were teammates at Miami and prior to that they played together at Coral Gables High School.
"When we played them, I felt it was how the game was supposed to be played," Gore told Barrows. "And I played high school ball with Vilma, and I know he's not that type of guy. He's a hard worker, he enjoys the game of football and he's going to give it his all every snap."

Uncomfortable beds
The entire building need a complete clean up. The carpet is very dirty. Along wall show where the vacuum cleaner does'nt clean. The same thing happen with rooms. I sew a couple of them and there are more to mentions. Management of this motel 6 should improve cleaning.
the young man's customer service, he went out of his way to please even gave us a coffee pot to use, due to a mix up with our room, he even had his wife bring us coffee filters she bought. Also our corner room was very quiet and clean
we had a queen suite kitchenette reserved for five months for the balloon festival and when we arrived our room had been rented to someone else and we were put in a queen room only, no microwave not even a coffee pot, it did have a fridge that didn't work well. There was no compensation made for the room mix up or difference not even a call or apology from management. The young man at the desk had no control over the situation and it was no fault of his.
The night clerk was extremely kind and knowledgeable of the area.
My bedspread was filthy with visible stains. One stain appeared to be pizza sauce, not sure how housekeeping did not notice it! Pillow cases stained as well. I would have just checked out and refused to pay however I had been traveling all day and was to exhausted to relocate hotels.
The staff was excellent, very helpful. Room was very well kept. Easy drive to balloon park.
Shower had very little pressure. Motel 6 needs to put out a little of the money they are making to get towels that don't feel like sandpaper.
Young man behind counter was very friendly and helpful.
Bed uncomfortable
Price Friendly Staff Comfort Ok
Rundown Bedding old and dingy Crappy Pillows
Friendliness of the people.
Hard to get to and get from to elsewhere.
The staff member was very helpful ! Had us checked in and a shuttle ready in minutes and friendly as could be . Took great care of us !
It was very comfortable,clean,the staff was very nice and helpful and the price was very affordable I would definitely stay there again

The bedspread had a big stain on it. The bed was too hard.
Maids didn't come in with fresh towels and to make up bed once. We stayed 3 nights. The microwave quit working.
The bed was pretty thin and hard. The bottom sheet has a stain under the pillow
No kleenix in the bathroom. Bed very uncomfortable Carpet not very clean Extremely hard to get to if driving toward the entrance to the interstate Too few pillows and the pillows were uncomfortable
close to highway, cheap gas and food nearby
Stains on everything from the floor to all over the bed.
Staff was friendly. As I needed a space to work the wifi was good. Ability to have small dog.
Staff sitting on front counter with bare feet on the counter. It smelled and felt dirty. No good place to take dog out.
They charge double fare y I have to wait 10 days to get credit in my account then all the process will take two months. And the lady of the front desk was so rude
The price was excellent
Housekeeping staff.
No seating in lobby. So could not sit and talk to our realtor. Coffee from concentrate??? Dirty halls and elevators. Lobby computer sucked. Room never vacuumed.
We didnt care for anything.
Everything was so dirty and kept itching all night, sheets didnt seem clean and we were afraid to lay on them..carpet was filthy....smell was horrible especially in hall way and elevator...I will definitely not recommend this motel to anyone....
It was ok
Bed was flat and old, not enough pillows
I selected a deluxe room with 2 queen beds on the website the price at the door didn't match the web site. I will not be a return customer to booking.com

Activities for families
Make a bird feeder from the bottles you would throw away.
Plastic drinks bottles, yoghurt pots or milk cartons (make sure they're clean), wire or string, bird seed, scissors.
This will require adult help with cutting. Be aware of nut allergies.
Cut a hole in the side large enough to allow a free flow of seeds, but in such a way that it won't all fall out on the ground in the slightest puff of wind, and won't get wet if it rains.
Make a few small holes in the bottom of your feeder to allow any rainwater to drain away.
Hang it with wire, or even strong string from a tree or your washing line.
If your feeder starts to wear out or the food in it goes mouldy, recycle it and make another one! Remember to keep your feeders well stocked, especially in winter. Birds come to rely on them and will go hungry if you forget.
Don't do this if you are allergic to nuts.
Be careful with knives and scissors. Ask an adult if you need help.

Where did the time go? It's hard to believe that November is here and our Masonic year is in the home stretch.
It has been my great honor to serve the Lodge this year and I'd like to take a minute to thank some of the people who have made the year such a pleasure. I'd like to thank the guys in the kitchen who did such a great job on our meals this year. Peter. Dave, Ed, Mike, Sareh and all the rest who pitched in. The trustees, Jerry and Harry for giving us the OK to move forward with the dining room remodel. To Mitch, Bill, Dan and Dean who sacrificed so much time on the project. To
all of the brothers who put in hours doing painting and sweeping and woodworking. All of the officers for their stellar work on the ritual. Our secretary Mark who helped me immensely with organizing everything. To Eugene for his fashion sense. To Sammy for counting the beans. To all of the brothers for their participation this year. It's been a busy and full year and I appreciate the attendance at our events and functions.
I will remember this year for the rest of my days and it will be bitter sweet to hand over the reins. It will be nice to have some time to do the things that have been on hold for awhile and to reintroduce myself to Mrs. Barone, who I have to thank the most. With all of my Masonic obligations this year she has really been a trooper. Thanks to all for a successful year for Vegas 32!
Worshipful Master
Atime of thanks giving. Or, to put it more colloquially, a time to give thanks. The holidays are quickly approaching, and for most of us that means spending time with cherished family and friends, recounting stories of past glories and hopefully making some new memories to be remembered in the years to come.
I so enjoy this time of year. The holiday fills me with nostalgic feelings and memories from my youth; spending time at my grandparents with my cousins, frolicking in the snow, tobogganing down the snow covered hills, and just that general sense of happiness and anticipation.
Now that I'm older, I find myself marveling at the thought that I'm going to be the grandparent before long (although I'm in no hurry, I assure you). Still, that thought fills me with a similar sense of happiness and anticipation that I felt as a child. It is by no means the same, but very much akin to those warm feelings experienced in my youth.
I think it feels so similar because they are all tied together through that feeling of affection we feel towards family, and in many cases, our close friends. That feeling of belonging... of acceptance... of being needed and loved. It's one of the greatest feelings in life.
So, during this holiday season which is traditionally dedicated to being thankful, please remember to take a moment to be thankful to all of those around you who help to make you feel accepted... needed... loved, whether it be your family... your friends... or your brothers.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Senior Warden
October saw a succession of third degrees as we raised all eligible FC's so we can enter 2015 unencumbered by a backlog.
The last Friday of October fell on the 31st and so we ended October with a fun Halloween themed family dinner.
Other than our regular degree work, the highlight of November will be the Ladies Appreciation Dinner on Saturday 22nd. Mitch is quarterbacking this elegant, full service, sit-down dinner and if his preliminary planning is anything to go by, it should be a stellar event. If I could be so bold as to suggest, perhaps even eclipsing the recent GL dinner!
Of course, Vegas 32 is footing the bill for this appreciation dinner so it's limited to ALL V32 members and their significant others, past and present. If you are a widower or widow of a deceased Lodge member, you are most especially welcome to come join us! Please no children, we wish to honor those ladies who have made our service to the Lodge possible. Note: If you would like to attend and have issues with transportation, call the office to let us know and we will make arrangements for your transportation each way.
We have been doing some upgrades in the kitchen and our new dishwasher should be installed and fully functional in time for the wives appreciation dinner, which will definitely put it to the test.
My thanks again to the guys who turn up week after week making the evening meals possible as they consistently put in the necessary work required to make the magic happen.
I'm sure there are still some members who have not yet seen the refurbished dining room, if nothing else please plan on attending the appreciation dinner on the 22nd and come and enjoy the full measure of your new facility. Please note: There is a sign-up sheet for the dinner so we can get a head- count, so come and sign in or call the office, speak with Mark or Sam and make sure you're included.
Junior Warden
Here it is November, and I'm wondering where has the time gone? It's that time of the year that our Grand Lodge will meet for its Annual Communication. This is a great opportunity for all Masons of Nevada and those visiting out of state to get together and share fellowship, a time to see old friends and a time to make new friends. I encourage each and everyone of you to attend these sessions if possible.
It's also that time of year when we begin our holiday season! I for one love Thanksgiving as I am thankul for all of the bounties that have been bestowed upon me by our Supreme Grand Master. I feel very fortunate and blessed to be able to live in this great country of ours and to have the freedoms that we do. So, from myself and the office staff I want to wish you all a Happy & Safe Thanksgiving and blessings to you and your families!

It's one of the most widely watched showdowns this holiday season: Sony's PlayStation 4 versus MIcrosoft's Xbox One. And a Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Sony would beat 'em up. What makes this battle so key: it's the first major upgrade in years for gaming hardware. Twenty six percent of the nearly 1300 U.S. shoppers polled preferred PS4; 15 percent picked Xbox One. And that gap widens among those under 40. Two things may have swayed consumers. One, Sony's $399 console is 100 dollars cheaper.

Final Game of 2014 – Mirror Image of Entire Season
The Phillies season ended today in the same fashion they played throughout the year. There was no offense to be found and lackluster effort. The Phillies were 1 run away from a win with the 2-1 loss to the Braves; pitcher Cole Hamels was 1 win away from double-digit wins for the season; and Ben Revere ended the season 1 base short of 50 stolen bases on the year. Jimmy Rollins spoke before the game, telling fans, "Before we're done this year, we'd like to say thank you for showing up. We know it was rough, but hopefully we made you guys smile." Etch that on a tombstone and you have the Phillies 2014 eulogy.
As is tradition for the last home game of the year, today was dubbed "Fan Appreciation Day." Players signed autographs and jested with fans cheerfully and prizes were given away.
But I'll tell you when I will feel truly appreciated; when the tickets prices go down to a level worthy of watching a last place team. Don't worry; I won't hold my breath.
After all the happy exchanges, the game began and it was more of the same. Poor Cole Hamels did not get even 10 wins this year thanks to an absent offense. Adding insult to injury, Hamels had a team-leading 2 hits in the game but no one could drive him in. He even got whacked on the face with a batted ball and suffered a minor bloody lip. That about summed up his season.
The offense was so bad, players were literally throwing their bats away. Chase Utley, Maikel Franco and Braves pitcher James Russell all tossed their bats mid-swing at different points in the game. I guess they weren't really using them anyway.
And so ends a dreary Phillies season with little hope for quick recovery. Oh sure, they fired Assistant GM Marti Wolever. But all that really means in Ruben Amaro Jr. keeps his job. And I guess more heads are going to roll, which is appropriate. But how much difference will it make and when? I hope to take a guess at answering some of those questions in the weeks to come. In the meantime, here is my final 2014 Photo Album. Here hoping for a happy off-season!

Phillies First Combined No-Hitter
Congratulations to Phillies pitchers Cole Hamels, Jake Diekman, Ken Giles and Jonathan Papelbon and catcher Carlos Ruiz on Monday's combined no-hitter against the Braves. It is the 12th no-hitter in Phillies history and the first combined no-hitter. Altogether, there have been only 11 teams in baseball history to record a combined no-hitter.
One other fun note is that this is the 3rd no-hitter caught by Carlos Ruiz in his career. He is ties for second all-time behind Jason Varitek, who caught four no-hitters for the Red Sox from 2001-2008.
Oddly enough, Hamels had what appeared to be one of his most difficult outings of the year, even though he did not allow a hit. His pitches were all over the place and he walked 5 batters. I am guessing this erratic performance completely confused Braves hitters.
Overshadowed in the 7-0 no-hit victory was a 5-RBI day for Ben Revere, who is now batting .310. Jimmy Rollins had 3 hits and Chase Utley walked twice. It was a nice day offensively, but the no-hitter took the front page news, as is appropriate.
So in an otherwise awful Phillies season, this was a very nice moment for the team and the fans. Fans do have a little more fun ahead as September call-ups start streaming in. It looks like Maikel Franco will finally get a shot in the Bigs. We will also get our first look at Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez, the Cuban righty that the Phillies spent a fortune on and, so far, have little to show for it. Also, Mike Adams and Tony Gwynn Jr. will return.
I look forward to seeing the line-up for tonight's game. First pitch is at 7:10pm and Kyle Kendrick will pitch. That is a nice gift to the Braves following the no-hitter. Just sayin'…

A New Staff Ace for the Phillies?
Is Jerome Williams for real? After 3 starts with his third team of the year, Williams has 2 wins for the Phillies and a 1.77 ERA. He has out-pitched everyone on the Phils starting staff, including Cole Hamels. And on top of that, he even laid down a perfect safety squeeze in the 2nd inning, collecting only the 2nd RBI of his major league career. Williams has officially resurrected his previously dead career. And the Phillies went on to beat the Cardinals by a score of 7-4, taking 2 outs of 3 games in the series.
Another bright spot in this otherwise miserable season has been Ben Revere. All the Revere haters have now been silenced. Despite his weak arm, Revere worked hard and has improved his defense and is also now batting .314. He is in a 1st place tie for the best average in the National League with Justin Morneau. Although he can be frustrating at times, I had faith in Revere because he is a positive guy who always hustles and gives his best effort. The same cannot be said all of the Phillies outfielders. Keep it up, Ben! I am rooting for you!
Speaking of the outfield, can anyone tell me WHY Domonic Brown is still starting? Have we not yet seen enough? Whether he feels he is or not, Brown appears lazy and distracted in left field. His batting average is down to .226. It is time to give someone else a shot…it has been time for a while now. You have to wonder who is really calling the shots with the line-up; Ryne Sandberg or Ruben Amaro Jr.? If it is Sandberg, I have to seriously question his judgment. If it is Amaro, then Sandberg needs to stand up and explain to his GM that this is HIS team to run. Because this is getting very old.
Aside from that annoyance, the Phillies offense finally put some runs on the board, which was a nice change for a Sunday afternoon. Everyone except Ryan Howard had a hit and Jimmy Rollins smacked a 2-run homer.
The Phillies start a 3-game series with the Nationals Monday night. Maybe they can spoil the Nats 1st place fun? In the meantime, here is the Photo Album from today's win.

Braves Get Revenge with 4-Game Sweep of Phillies
Just a few weeks ago, the Phillies swept the Braves in a 3-game series in Atlanta. This weekend, the Braves returned the favor and 1-up'd the Phillies with a 4-game sweep. Ugh. So for anyone holding out hope that the Phillies 5 game win streak on the road was a sign of life, you can wipe that thought from your mind. No surprise…this team still sucks.
Rookie pitcher David Buchanan had an ok game, with 5 walks issued and 3 runs over 5 innings. He has serious control issues. A work in progress, I suppose…
The entire game on Sunday was an exercise in futility. The Phillies left 10 men on base and went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position. There were many swings and misses and possibly the worst bunt ever in the history of baseball laid down by 4th string catcher, Koyie Hill.
The real telling moment came in the 7th after Jimmy Rollins singled and Chase Utley singled for his 1,500th career hit (yeah!). Ryan Howard stepped to the plate…weren't we all thinking, here is the BIG 3! Rollins, Utley and Howard…the former dream team. If they cannot get it done, this team is doomed. Howard then proceeded to hit into an inning ending double play. And that, my Phillies friends, is this team in a nutshell. They are toast.
The defense was awful again, too. Domonic Brown and Ben Revere both misplayed balls in the outfield, something that has become a regular and expected occurrence. Justin DeFratus and Rollins both had errors in the game as well.
The only bright spot was Marlon Byrd. He hit 2 home runs, which were the Phillies only 2 runs of the game. But really, all that means is his trade value just went way up.
It is a bit depressing to be a Phillies fan right now, as stated by the semi-polite Braves fan sitting next to me. All of the sun-baked babies in the stands concurred with their heat-exhausted whimpers as well. Seriously…there were 3 babies in my section all under 6 months old literally baking in the sun as their moron parents paid no mind. One kid had on nothing but a diaper…because apparently, sunscreen is invincible and protects against heat stroke too…magic! Sorry I ran off on a tangent there…but please people, leave your infants at home in 88 degree temperatures! That makes me insane…had to vent.
Anyway, here is the Photo Album from Sunday's game. The team is off on Monday and will go to Miami for a 3-game series starting on Tuesday night.

Jimmy Rollins: Phillies All-Time Hits Leader with 2,235
Congratulations to Jimmy Rollins who broke Mike Schmidt's record to become the Phillies hits leader with 2,235 hits. It is a well-deserved honor. In celebration, here are some of my favorite J-Roll photos / moments from the last decade. The top photo is a poster I made in 2007 that Jimmy signed for me. And for those who regularly follow my blog, you know that J-Roll Smurf is the official blog mascot so he appears here as well. When Jimmy met his mini-me, he told me that "back in the day" people called him "Papa Smurf." Just a fun fact for you.
Congrats, Jimmy! Here's to many more hits to come…

Phillies Offense Comes Alive Against the Reds
After a very long dry spell where the Phillies were shut-out in 4 out of 10 games, the Phillies offense finally woke up this weekend against the Reds. On Saturday, they pounded the Reds by a score of 12-1 and Cole Hamels finally got win #100 of his career. Then on Sunday, it was an 8-3 win that sent fans home happy.
Cliff Lee had an interesting outing, ultimately pitching 6.2 innings and allowing 2 runs. After he walked the first batter of the game and gave up 2 runs in the 1st inning, it was obvious we were in for a battle.
But immediately, the Phillies got those 2 runs back. Jimmy Rollins and Will Nieves went deep with back-to-back homers to start the game in the Phillies half of the 1st.
The game remained tied until the 5th inning when Lee took matters into his own hands offensively, leading off the inning with a single. Rollins moved him over the second after Todd Frazier bobbled the ball at third and failed to throw Lee out. Then Nieves dropped a sac bunt to move them over and Chase Utley knocked in Lee with a ground out to first.
And the hits kept coming. Marlon Byrd hit a solo homer in the 6th and then Cody Asche smacked a 3-run homer in the 8th to give the Phillies ample breathing room with an 8-2 lead. Byrd, Asche and Nieves each had 2 hits in the game and Rollins and Ryan Howard each walked twice. It was a full team effort at the plate.
It was also the Phanatic's annual birthday bash on Sunday, which added to the festive vibe with the powered-up offense, 4 home runs and 2 wins in a row! Add a bunch of silly mascots, the Zooperstars and some dude who paints with his hands, and it was a real party.
The Phillies are off tomorrow for the Phillies Phestival. After that, they travel to Miami for a short 3-game series and then back home again.
In the meantime, here is the full Photo Album from the game and birthday celebration.

Phillies Take 2 of 3 From the Nats
The Phillies just barely squeaked out a 1-0 win over the Nationals today thanks mostly to great pitching. Cole Hamels was scheduled to start but was unable to go as he has the flu. So Roberto Hernandez, who had not gotten out of the 6th inning yet this season, filled it.
Hernandez was outstanding, going 7 1/3 innings without allowing a run to score. When he first started to pitch, it looked like he would not be able to throw a strike as he walked 2 batters in the first inning. But he settled down and wound up with 3 walks and only 4 hits allowed.
The lone Phillies run of the game came in the first inning. After a Jimmy Rollins triple, Chase Utley singled to score Rollins. Utley had a very strange day. After that RBI, he sprinted around the bases on a Marlon Byrd pop fly and got doubled up. Maybe he forgot there was only 1 out? And then later he committed an error in the field when he totally missed the feed from Jayson Nix at third on what may have been a double play.
But those blunders did not come back to haunt the Phillies luckily. And that is a very good thing especially considering the Phillies only managed 4 hits in the game, including a Ben Revere triple. They also had some very nice plays in the field, which helped.
The weather was very interesting as well. It was cold, very windy and bits and pieces of wrappers, bags and dust were floating around everywhere. Some of the shadows in the field were brutal by the time the relievers came in too.
My eyes were so dry, at one point, I thought maybe I was seeing things. See the first photo below to the left…there are 3 guys there, right. Nope…check out the 2nd photo on the right. I guess Nix is just so small he blended right in.
Check out the full Photo Album from the game for more interesting stuff. There are very nice photos of Domonic Brown with his mother and VERY pregnant girlfriend pre-game during the Mother's Day celebration. I also took some photos of our old friend, Kevin Frandsen. Miss him….sigh!
So a weird 2-game home and away series stars tomorrow with the Blue Jays; 2 games here and 2 in Toronto. Game time Monday is 7:05pm and Kyle Kendrick will pitch.

Lee & Burnett Leading the Way
The Phillies have taken the first 2 games in their series against the Dodgers in large part due to great starting pitching. Both Cliff Lee and A.J. Burnett have set an example for all Phillies pitchers and given them something to aspire to. It has been a real treat to watch.
On Monday night, Lee went 8 innings, allowing no runs, 4 hits and striking out 10 baffled Dodgers batters. Since his awful Opening Day start, Lee has been nearly unhittable. And the intangibles he brings to the team are priceless.
This is a guy who never gets rattled. His drama-free attitude and generosity towards fans has endeared him to all who observe how he goes about his business. If you do not love Cliff Lee, go to the doctor and make sure your heart is still beating.
And then there is one of the newest Phillies, A. J. Burnett. Tuesday night he pitched 6 2/3 innings allowing only 2 runs on 6 hits and a walk. He also had 3 hits in the game! The week before that, he pitched 7 scoreless inning against the Braves. And he did all of this while nursing a painful inguinal hernia.
The fact that Burnett is willing to play through the pain is admirable. And as long as he keeps pitching well, I have no problem with this. But he is not just tough, he is also quite the jokester, as witnessed after his first hit last night. After Yasiel Puig attempted to throw him out at first all the way from right field, Burnett turned and motioned with his hands to Puig to settle down. There is a great GIF of this on Philly.com. You gotta love a man with a sense of humor.
The Phillies other ace pitcher, Cole Hamels, is set to come off the DL and pitch tonight. Could the Phillies actually have 3 studs in a row once again? And, although I hate to say this too loudly, this team appears to be mostly healthy…gasp! Shhhhh! Don't tell the universe…too dangerous.
Have you also noticed the improvement on offense? The big 3 there, Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins, are all hitting well. And Ben Revere is heating up again, like he did last year before getting hurt. The one thorn left in the Phillies side is the bullpen, which did actually hold up the last few games. Keep your fingers crossed for that trend to continue.
If Lee, Burnett and Hamels can pitch like they are capable of, the bullpen will certainly benefit. It starts with the starters. Hamels gets his first shot in 2014 tonight at 10:10pm.

Rocky Mountain High and a Bunch of Lows
The Phillies just barely escaped Colorado last night with a win to avoid the 3-game sweep against the Rockies. The first two games of the series were utterly pathetic as the Phils went down by scores of 1-2 and 1-3, respectively. The Sunday night 10-9 win was a welcome sigh of relief.
The Phillies offense had been so bad going into this game, they officially recorded 131 at-bats in a row without an extra-base hit. In baseball terms, that is an eternity. And it was the worst mark for the franchise since 1968.
Not quite as awful as that, but still very bad, the Phils pitchers blew the lead in last night's game 3 times. And Roberto Hernandez still has yet to pitch a full 6 innings. He was pulled from the game after only 75 pitches. This is not promising.
But the better news is that Ryan Howard may have found his pre-ankle injury swing again. He sort of, but not officially, hit for the cycle. The last hit was not scored a double as many contend it should have been; it was marked as a single with a 1-base error. The Phillies will appeal the call to MLB to see if they can get that double for Howard. Honestly, I'd have loved it to be a cycle. But I do not see MLB overturning the call…the outfielder should have gotten that ball.
Everyone else hit as well. Jimmy Rollins had 3 hits and both Ben Revere and Marlon Byrd had 2 hits each. Even more amazing, no one committed an error in the field. Yippie!
Speaking of offense, remember way back on Opening Day when Cody Asche had 3 hits? And the next day manager Ryne Sandberg sat him? And then remember when I said what a bad idea that was, sending Asche the wrong message, killing his momentum, etc…? Yeah well, guess who has had only 6 hits in his last 42 at-bats (the entire month of April)? Yup, Cody Asche. And he's had only 2 hits in the very last 23 at-bats. That is a .087 batting average. Yikes.
Asche has been losing playing time as a result. Obviously, that Game 2 benching may or may be contributing to the massive slump, but it is still an interesting observation. The question now is, can he bounce back? I have not yet heard if he will be in the line-up tonight against the Dodgers, but this is one story line you may want to keep an eye on.
Game time is 10:10pm EST. Yuck…West Coast swings make me sleepy. Hopefully, the Phillies offense will keep me awake!

Phillies Field of Nightmares
These are the things that dreams nightmares are made of. This Phillies – Brewers series has thus far been a horror show of epic proportions. I awoke at 3am yelling, "How do you miss a routine ground ball?" I thought, whew, just a bad dream. And then I remembered, it wasn't just a dream.
This does beg the question, how does a veteran major league player miss a routine ground ball? Sure, no one is perfect, stuff happens, etc… But this "stuff" is happening at an alarming rate. The Phillies have 5 errors in 2 games and that doesn't include the many, many other mistakes made that do not have a place to be recorded in the box score.
For instance, a pitcher gets ahead of batter with a 0-2 count. He then proceeds to walk the guy. How does that happen? Just ask Antonio Bastardo. Even the Boogeyman, who spends weeks or months hiding under beds, has had better days.
Just as scary, both Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins, two of the more veteran guys and biggest salaries on the team, both booted bouncing ground balls yesterday. But how often does a ground ball take a weird hop? Answer: All the time! A major league player should be able to handle this.
As I write this, I realize it is very early in the season and all that. Still, even this small handful of games is telling of a larger issue. Even manager Ryne Sandberg admits, "We talk about some of the plays being routine, but we haven't been making too many of the routine plays lately." So, why is that?
Sandberg preaches fundamentals and fielding practice. All of that is nice, but a guy who has been a professional baseball player for many years knows fundamentals. The issue is focus and execution. Why have these veteran players lost their focus, which then leads to a lack of execution? Are their pockets so heavy now that they lack incentive to concentrate? I think that is a fair question.
There are exceptions, of course. When Ben Revere smashed his face into the wall on Tuesday and dropped a fly ball, he did not show a lack of effort. He looked towards the fence for a second and lost the ball. I never see a lack of effort from Revere, as was witnessed during two diving attempts in Wednesday's game, one of which was a spectacular, highlight reel catch. He dropped the second one, but clearly put forth maximum effort and focus.
This doesn't mean other guys aren't trying. They just do not try as hard and are not as invested in each individual play. In short, they are a bit too laid back. This is a big problem.
Think about your own job. There are days you give full effort and other days where you do not feel like doing much. If you work in an office, this probably doesn't hurt anyone. But if you have a job where other people depend on you, this is a recipe for disaster. If I am a surgeon performing my fourth surgery of the day and I feel a bit tired and do just enough to get by with patient #4, bad things can happen.
Baseball is not brain surgery, obviously. But one person's actions can affect their teammates and the outcome of the game. If someone wants to pay me millions of dollars to file papers in an office, you can be assured I am going to be the best, most organized filing machine that ever lived. And it won't even matter if anyone else is affected. I would be singularly motivated by just the fact that someone was willing to pay me top dollar for my services. I worry that not everyone on this Phillies team feels the same way. And no amount of practice is going to cure that problem.
