World of Work Productivity and E-mail Excellence
in Business
The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, November 5, 2014, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT).
Last week we talked about the business leadership cliff and how to avoid it, and this week we're going to talk about productivity and e-mail excellence.
Yes, that right — productivity and e-mail excellence. The fact is, no matter how much some of us feel that e-mail is killing "world of work" productivity, it's not going anywhere anytime soon.
And while companies are losing worker productivity, employees are extending the length of their workdays, going to the office on weekends, and checking their e-mail while on vacation because they can no longer manage the volume of communication that requires their attention. This is how e-mail habits have become toxic to individuals and businesses alike.
Blech. But instead, why don't we have a "productive" conversation around why and how unhealthy e-mail practices are sapping personal and business productivity, what you can do about it, and how much time you can reclaim for yourself and your business.
Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn about productivity and e-mail excellence with this week's guest: Marsha Egan, CSP, PCC, CEO of The Egan Group, ICF Certified Professional Coach and professional speaker, and a leading authority on email productivity.
Thank you to our sponsors and partners: SAP/SuccessFactors, Dice, RIVS, GreatRated! of Great Place to Work, IBM Smarter Workforce, CareerBuilder, PeopleFluent, Fisher Vista and HRmarketer Insight.
How to Decrease the Influx of Mail
in Self Help
In this age of electronic information, it's amazing how much paper we still receive! From extra-long store receipts to magazines and catalogs to credit card offers, there's no end to the paper we can receive.
Master Organizer and Productivity Strategist, Janice Russell, will share ways to completely discontinue some mail. She will discuss ways to decrease other mail.
Less mail means less processing to do which means less paper-overwhelm.

Most Common Beer League Goalie Mistakes
Last Friday night I was able to score my first really cheesy goal in rec league as my others have usually been kinda legit. I banked the puck off the goalie's skate and into the net from behind the net (unintentionally though, as really I was trying to just center the puck.)
That goal made me start wondering how often I could start scoring goals like that on purpose. From going to a drop-in with D2 college players and people with similar abilities to theirs, I saw them score lots of similar goals from behind the goal line when inferior D-men would get too close to the net or a goalie didn't hug the post properly.
So, my question is, do others see a lot of low/ish level rec league goalies making the same mistake of not hugging their posts nice and tight? I'm thinking I could maybe make this a common goal with some practice. And, beyond that, what other common mistakes do you guys see beer league tenders making that we can take advantage of? Goalies feel free to speak too... :p
I'm known on my team to be an ace at that move either off the skate, or even the paddle or a defender if they do hug the post. We play in 2 leagues, one the highest available and the other with a few lesser players that's a couple tiers down, and I must've done that 4x between each league in the past 10 or so games total. If you can get the room and have the ability to place the puck where you want, it's surprisingly easy to pull off.
The fake shot to the backhand. Works 100% of the time 60 percent of the time.
The goalies in the leagues I play in sometimes get caught playing the puck when they shouldn't or vice versa. That seems like a pretty common phenomenon.
I score many short side goals because about half the goalies dont hug the post like they should.
Another good one is five-hole, same logic; goalies often do not have their stick where they were taught to keep it for years. Basically think of all the things goalies have been taught, many cheat at them when it comes to a beer league.
I just started playing goalie about a month ago and I can tell you that I have a big problem covering my 5-hole. I've noticed that when moving laterally I will forget to keep my paddle properly positioned on the ice protecting the 5-hole. I am good about hugging the posts once play gets to a corner. But I've also noticed that when I go down to stop a shot, if there is a rebound and play continues more to the side I don't remember to completely cover to the post and will leave a little space between my skate and post.
For rec league, I find that if you can get the goalie moving, your chances of scoring go up dramatically. At least that's how you get me (though as a beginner there are plenty of other ways too lol).
As a forward, I've managed to score a handful of times of a goalies shoulder when I was perpendicular to the net and he wasn't hugging the post and properly. Just shot high and banked it off the shoulder right into the net lol.
Not getting the stick flat on the ice to protect the five hole when they are moving. It is absolutely something that most goalies seem to struggle with. When I first started, I played with a bunch of former varsity, college, and junior guys. They scored nearly every breakaway goal deking left to right and sliding it five hole.
I've seen a lot of other goalies struggle with hugging the post. Especially newer goalies.
Otherwise, you can often tell in warmups or early on if a goalie is going to play too deep in net (giving a ton of room to shoot around) or come way out to challenge you (harder to shoot and score on but if you can deke odds go exponentially up).
anytime there is traffic in from of the net it never hurts to ping one off the defense skates or the goalie.
I have even scored from behind the net personally shotting at the goalies back arm or calves
Most beer-league goalies can't even drop into butterfly properly so it's almost always a better bet to shoot low. Aim for the low corners or 5-hole while the goalie is standing up and you'll probably score more. I've found that beer-league goalies tend to WANT you to shoot high (particularly glove side) because that's their only strength, really.
Now, if you play in the higher-leagues and are playing against ex-college/junior goalies, then you might want to pass the puck more and try to get him moving side-to-side.
5 hole will be open all day, almost every day. at least 65% of my goals have been scored from shooting 5 hole or deking close range and sliding it 5 hole at the last second. like the guy above me said, most will expect a glove shot for some reason. shooting low and hard will yield the best results... even if it doesnt go in, youll most likely get a juicy rebound
Goalie last night literally gloved one of my shots five hole. Dropped and caught the puck above the stick and below the pants. Never seen that one before.
from my experience in beer league going on 16 years no i have found 3 spots pure money for goals.
- fake shot then deke backhand (breakaway) this makes the goale freeze for the shot, most will still read that you havent shot within a second but they always overcompesate to make the pad save 5 hole turns into 900 hole.
- wrist shot along the ice bottom corners. our goalie told us one time that when he sees someone pulling back a wrist shot he assumes top cheese. how many guys really take wrist shots along the ice.
- shortside this works wonders on 2 on ones because that goalie is playing the pass wether he admits it or not. he cheats you look pass then fire shortside.
Little traffic in front of the net, bumping the goalie. Most beer leaguers will be too concerned trying to get #69 back or complaining to the ref vs watching the point shot.
I've only tried it once and it worked great, goalie bit so hard he didn't even slide and I had wide open net to slide it in. Decent goalie too, but I think that was unusual that he didn't slide across, I just think he wasn't expecting the fake shot
My own observations as a goalie for a full year now -
1) A quick release with oomph on it on the ice is going to be hard for a new goalie to stop. It takes a lot of practice to get down into a butterfly quickly.
2) If you're skating in on a breakaway a lot of the time goalies will retreat right up to the goal line too quickly which opens up a ton of options. I prefer to try and hold my ground as long as possible and poke check to break it up. I've learned the hard way that "retreating" opens up way to many options for the shooter.
3) Catching a goalie off the angle. If the goalie is square to the shooter and not the puck, you're probably going to score if you fire it in the general direction of the net.
4) Deke-ing the goalie into a butterfly then flipping it over the pads.
Not moving the hell out of the way as I charge to the net, thinking I have the ability to stop.
Ultimate Plug checking in.
Charge to one side or the other if you can't stop. I'm dealing a lingering shoulder injury because of an idiot who can't stop. Even if you get the puck in you can make sure that I'm going to knock the goal off its posts to get a whistle.
I just started playing beer league hockey goalie this year. I played some pretty good hockey the year before that and found the hardest thing to adapt to is the low hard shots. In higher caliber hockey lots of shooters are looking to go cheddar when they wind up but in beer league the shots are lower and I had a difficult time adapting to that at first.
My most common mistake as a "beer league" goalie is thinking I have a defense...
Dmen, feel free to let shots from the point through rather than trying to block them. More often than naught it results in a deflected own goal. We let in enough goals off of opponent's sticks, no need to help the other team out. :)
Fortunately, our team does not share that particular problem. Around here, most of the teams throw all their talented, skilled kids up at forward and put the 250 pound slow guys on D. On our team, we have most of our best players on D, as it should be.
One of my teammates sort of scored that plug goal in that game. Just ate it coming in, rebounded off the goalie, onto my teammate's shin pad, and into the net. Pretty funny.

How to determine if your tree has Emerald Ash Borer
By Susan Jongeneel
Media/Communications Specialist, University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences
URBANA, Ill. — Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) has already emerged this year. To determine if a tree has been attacked, University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator Martha Smith suggests the following steps.
First, identify the tree. EAB attacks only members of the Fraxinus genus, or true ash. On true ashes, buds, leaves, and branches form directly opposite one another on the twig or branch. If they do not, the tree is not a true ash and the EAB cannot attack it.
The most common types of ash in Illinois are green, white, blue, black and pumpkin ash. Some names are misleading — for example, mountain ash is not a true ash. It is a member of the Sorbus genus, and cannot be attacked by EAB.
Second, start to look for signs of decline, starting in the upper third of the tree canopy. If the tree looks unhealthy, look for D-shaped holes about the size of a BB. Anything round or larger has not been caused by EAB.
If bark on the trunk is splitting, lift it and look underneath. Snake-like tunneling under the bark may indicate the presence of EAB. Young sprout growth clustered at the base of the tree may also indicate EAB.
University of Illinois Extension has a checklist that can be used for identifying the tree and determining if EAB is present. The checklist is available for downloading at http://web.extension.illinois.edu/hmrs/. The document is also available from local U of I Extension offices. Because of the volume of contacts, U of I Extension will not conduct site visits.

Red Sox Add Hanley Ramirez & Pablo Sandoval
Two former Dodgers-Giants rivals will be joining forces on the Boston Red Sox in 2015. Hanley Ramirez has signed a four year, $88 million contract with an option for the 2019 season while Pablo Sandoval, a three time World Series winner with the Giants, has signed a five year, $100 million contract with the Sox.
The Red Sox have been pursuing Sandoval, who is affectionately known as Kung Fu Panda, since the Giants won their third World Series in five years. He is a definite upgrade at third base over Will Middlebrooks. In seven seasons in San Francisco, Panda collected 946 hits, batting .294 with 106 HR and 462 RBI. In addition to his three World Series rings, Sandoval is also a two-time NL All-Star. Although he has had weight issues, Sandoval is 28 and is entering the prime of his career.

Abstract. We consider the problem of testing the equality of J quantile curves from independent samples. A test statistic based on an L2-distance between non-crossing non-parametric estimates of the quantile curves from the individual samples is proposed. Asymptotic normality of this statistic is established under the null hypothesis, local and fixed alternatives, and the finite sample properties of a bootstrap-based version of this test statistic are investigated by means of a simulation study.

That's an interesting idea. A small screw eye driven into the side of the paddle end and opened a bit would allow you to slip your line into the eye and then push the paddle down to the lure. One push and the lure ought to come free. Would work in moderate depths.

OXFORD, Miss. – The official touring band of the United States Army will perform a free concert Friday (Nov. 14) at the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts as part of Military Appreciation Month.
The Jazz Ambassadors offer a little something for everyone. The band's repertoire includes swing, bebop, Latin, contemporary jazz, standards, popular tunes, Dixieland, vocals and, of course, patriotic music. The band's members wrote many of the musical pieces that they perform.
"We are always happy to welcome the military bands to the Ford Center," said Norm Easterbrook, Ford Center director. "For this concert, we were able to work with the band to focus the concert on music from the 1940s as a complement to the UM Common Reading Experience book 'The Girls of Atomic City.'"
The Jazz Ambassadors have performed in all 50 states and several countries with notable performances at the Toronto Jazz Festival and the Kennedy Center, and even had an appearance on the "Colbert Report."
Free tickets are available at the UM Box Office, inside the Ole Miss Student Union.

Young LGBT people can often experience high levels of homophobic or transphobic hate crime at school or college, though it is often referred to homophobic or transphobic bullying. Young LGBT people can be especially vulnerable because they may feel isolated and reluctant to get help because they fear being 'outed' or don't want to involve the police in incidents experienced at home or school. If you are a young person experiencing homophobic or transphobic hate crime you can get advice and support from Galop in confidence.

Daily Scripture - Exodus 16:23
You say poh-tay-toe, I say poh-tah-toe. No matter how you slice it, we're still talking about a brown starchy vegetable that (sadly) tastes best when fried.
Just as there is no absolutely correct way to pronounce the word potato, there's no single way to observe the Sabbath.
The concept of resting from work and celebrating Creation is biblically-based. Christians, Jews, and Muslims all share religious roots in the Old Testament, but like the potato theory— while the object is the same, its description is different. Many other religions do not have what we in the Western world know to be a Sabbath. However, gathering together for prayer and praise is practiced by all.
What if you're spiritual, not necessarily religious? Is it important, or even meaningful, to set aside a day for rest and appreciation? Try it and see for yourself. Schedule some rest for yourself and put prayer on your to-do list.
This is what the Lord commanded: "Tomorrow is to be a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord."

Taking Back the Faith
Dave Robinson of Pax Christi says: "I think that this is a very hopeful time for progressive religious groups in our country. The events of the past four years have energized some of our traditional groups and have also given birth to new, exciting efforts within the progressive religious community."
Perhaps most significant will be a new group of progressive evangelicals, led by Jim Wallis and his Call to Renewal group, and other leaders who want no part of the Falwell-Robertson rhetoric or politics. They're calling it Red Letter Christians, alluding to the words of Jesus in many versions of the New Testament, which are printed in red type. The name also avoids identifying the group with any political party. These politically liberal dissidents make up as much as 35 percent of the evangelical movement, amounting to millions, according to Tony Campolo, professor emeritus at Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania, and a popular evangelical author and speaker.
These movements are serious, sincere and dedicated; the meetings of Christian leaders called by Bob Edgar are hopeful, the rhetoric of Wallis and Lerner is inspiring, and even more positive, they are taking concrete action.
Then look at all these efforts next to just one example of the way the religious right is already arming and organizing for the next battle: In August 2005 a website appeared that launched the Ohio Restoration Project, whose purpose is to enlist thousands of "Patriot Pastors" to get out religious right voters for the 2006 elections. The Columbus minister who heads the project calls these midterm Congressional elections a battle between "the forces of righteousness and the hordes of hell."
At the same time, the people they call "the hordes of hell"--the representatives of mainstream religion from the NCC--were still trying to agree on a common strategy. Part of the strategy that remains a conundrum to most progressive religious leaders is not only how to avoid the blows from the armies of the right but also how to overcome the hostility of people who ought to be their allies on the secular left but treat them with scorn, condescension or indifference.
A young man in Boston came up to Wallis after one of his bookstore talks and said, "I'm gay, and I want to thank you for making me feel welcome tonight. But you know, it's easier to come out being gay in Boston than it is coming out as religious in the Democratic Party."
The African-American attorney Van Jones, founder and executive director of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights in Oakland (which challenges human rights abuses in the prison system) wrote on the Internet: "It is still commonplace to hear so-called radicals stereotyping all religious people as stupid dupes--and spitting out the word 'Christian' as if it were an insult, or the name of a disease. I thought progressives were supposed to be the standard-bearers of tolerance and inclusion."
Former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger, an adviser to Union Theological Seminary, says:
You don't go into a liberal community and talk about your faith and your prayers--they snicker. So in divorcing it you lose track of it, you forget why we should care about social justice--is it just so we could be fair? What's the underlying principle of equality? We didn't talk about the values that underlie policy--why are we against racism, poverty? A lot of these issues I believe in come from my religious upbringing.
A majority of Americans have had some kind of religious upbringing, and 90 percent of them say that they believe in God. The Democratic Party and progressive politicians and activists need not adopt their faith, but they had better take that belief into account if they hope to regain national power in the years to come.

Oswalt leaves start with lower back strain
By Matt Snyder
Roy Oswalt went to take the hill for the seventh inning Friday night, but didn't even begin the inning. He met on the mound with manager Charlie Manuel and trainer Marc Anderson and then left the game. He reportedly suffered a lower back strain (MLB.com via Twitter)
Oswalt, 33, was perfect through three innings and left after six with a 3-2 lead. He attempted a sacrifice bunt in the bottom of the sixth, which turned into a fielder's choice. He then ran the bases and that's reportedly when he tweaked his back.
The Phillies' righty entered the game 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through two starts, spanning 12 innings. He has made at least 30 starts for the past seven seasons, though he has made six trips to the disabled list.

Pepper: The amazing Ichiro
By C. Trent Rosecrans
Edgar Martinez isn't in the Hall of Fame, but he has a heck of a case.
Martinez is one of eight players -- along with Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, Stan Musical, Rogers Hornsby, Lou Gehrig, Manny Ramirez and Todd Helton -- to have 300 home runs, 500 doubles, a career .300 batting average, a career on-base percentage better than .400 and a career slugging higher than .500.
The former Mariners designated hitter finished his career with a career 147 OPS+, while hitting .312 in 18 seasons. Martinez made seven All-Star teams and won five Silver Sluggers as a designated hitter. In 2004, Major League Baseball renamed its Outstanding Designated Hitter Award for Martinez.
In short, Martinez was a phenomenal hitter.
And with 2,247 hits, Martinez had led all Mariners in career hits until Saturday night when Ichiro Suzuki broke his mark with two hits in the Mariners' 5-2 victory over the A's.
It took Martinez -- as we noted, one of the best hitters of his generation -- 18 seasons to amass 2,247. Ichiro passed it in the second game of his 11th season.
Sometimes I think it's easy to forget just how good Suzuki is. Maybe because he plays in the late games and the Mariners haven't been good lately, but Suzuki's career is one for the ages.
In each of his first 10 seasons, Suzuki has had at least 200 hits. He's already the Mariners' career leader in stolen bases (386), triples (71) and batting average (.331) and needs 425 at-bats to pass Martinez in that category.
If you add the 1,278 hits Suzuki had in his time in Japan, he has 3,526 career hits and could finish his professional career with more hits than Pete Rose's 4,256 in the big leagues. While not quite the same and not the MLB record, it'd still be an impressive feat, especially with shorter seasons in Japan.
Martinez passed Ken Griffey Jr. as the team's all-time hits leader on April 3, 2001, just days into Suzuki's tenure with the Mariners. The two played together for several years, and Suzuki said Saturday he was humbled by passing Martinez.
"Today I broke his record. When you look at his numbers, that's a fact," Ichiro said through interpreter Antony Suzuki (via MLB.com). "But he is a hero back in Seattle. He is my hero as well. When you look at his existence, he's a lot bigger than I am, being a great human being as well. So that's how I look at it.
"I played with Edgar for years. That's something that is important to me. That's precious. That's a treasure to me. That's what I honor as well."
Royals' FUTURE FLUSH -- After the Royals beat the Angels on Saturday, it was time for the real show -- Kansas City's Double-A and Triple-A teams faced off at Kauffman Stadium to a healthy crowd ready to see baseball's most hyped prospects in person. About half the crowd of 18,022 for the Royals-Angels game stayed to watch the likes of Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer. [Kansas City Star]
NO PLATOON FOR PANDA -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy has assured Pablo Sandoval that he will not be part of a platoon at third base this season. Sandoval sat against lefty Ted Lilly on Saturday, but that was a matchup thing, Bochy told him. [San Jose Mercury News]
WAITING FOR HOLLIDAY -- The Cardinals aren't going to put outfielder Matt Holliday on the disabled list right away, hoping to avoid a trip altogether. Holliday had an appendectomy on Friday and was discharged from the hospital on Saturday. The Cardinals will wait a couple of days to see whether Holliday will be able to come back in time to avoid a DL trip. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]
DEBUT -- Zach Britton may have been the Orioles' best starter this spring, but when time came for the final cuts, he still found himself headed to Triple-A Norfolk -- until the Orioles' best rookie of 2010, Brian Matusz, was placed on the DL with a left intercostal muscle strain. Britton, who had a 1.35 ERA in spring, will start today against the Rays. [MLB.com]
FAMILIAR FACE -- Roy Oswalt will make his first career start against Houston today. [MLB.com]
MAGGLIO OUT -- Magglio Ordonez isn't playing in today's game against the Yankees because of a sore right ankle. Ordonez was lifted for a defensive replacement in the sixth inning of Saturday's loss. Tigers manager Jim Leyland said it was mostly a precautionary move. [MLB.com]
DANKS OK -- John Danks had some dental work on Saturday, but won't miss his start today against the Indians. [MLB.com]
LONG NAME, LONG LAYOFF -- Nationals lefty Tom Gorzelanny will have 15 days between his final spring training start and his first regular-season start on April 9, but he is unconcerned. [Washington Post]
Padres LOVE THE BUNT -- The Padres new No. 3 hitter, Orlando Hudson, laid down a sacrifice bunt in the fifth inning of Saturday's game against the Cardinals. The Padres have had their No. 3 hitter sacrifice 20 times in the last 20 years. [Ducksnorts]
AARDSMA CLOSER -- The Mariners may get closer David Aardsma back sooner rather than later, manager Eric Wedge told reporters. [Seattle Times]
CLOSE SHAVE -- Rays starter Wade Davis will shave his head -- well, at least the top of it, his beard is staying -- following today's game. The shave is for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation's Cut for a Cure and is hoping to raise $10,000. As of Saturday, he'd raised $8,000 with his vow to go bald. [Tampa Tribune]
30-DOWN -- How Brian Wilson got into the New York Times crossword puzzle. [New York Times]
DIFFERENT WAY TO THE BIGS -- Former 16th-round draft pick Griffin Benedict has given up his dream of playing in the big leagues, instead accepting the Padres' offer of joining the team as its second bullpen catcher. Benedict is the son of former big-league catcher Bruce Benedict. He hit .229 at low Class A Fort Wayne last season. [San Diego Union-Tribune]
PATCH FEVER -- There's a total of eight memorial patches on MLB uniforms this summer. The Reds, Tigers, Pirates, Indians, Phillies, Dodgers, Cubs and Mariners are all sporting patches honoring people who have passed in the last year. While the Indians have gotten rave reviews of their Bob Feller patch (and for good reason), I'm a really big fan of the Pirates' Chuck Tanner patch as well. [Uniwatch Blog]
AT-BAT MUSIC -- Reds official blogger Jamie Ramsey has a list of all the at-bat music for the Reds this season. [Better Off Red]
WHITE TELLS ALL -- The New York Times has great things to say about Bill White's new book, Upity, about his time in baseball, both as a player and a league official.
BOW TIE -- Nice story from FOXSports.com reporter Ken Rosenthal on why he'll wear a bow tie on all telecasts this season. I thought it looked great, and glad to see the direction he's taken it. Good for Ken and Dhani Jones. [FOXSports.com]
FREE GAMES -- If you have the MLB At-Bat for the iPhone, iPad or Android devices, you'll get MLB.tv for free during April. If you're reading this and have an iPhone, iPad or Android device, you need to spend the $15 for the At-Bat app and this just makes it an even better deal. (You do have to buy separate apps for each device, but it's still totally worth it.) [The Unofficial Apple Weblog]

Pepper: Opening day excitement
By C. Trent Rosecrans
No day in the year probably evokes as many cliches as opening day. Several times today you'll hear of hope and optimism and that's total crap.
There's no reason for the Pirates fans or Astros fans or Royals fans to think 2011 will be any different than 2010. But the thing is, the beauty of the baseball season isn't that every team has a chance. It's that there are 162 games and no matter how bad the team, they'll still win three times out of every eight games.
Even watching the Mariners for 162 this season, you'll still have walk-off wins, reasons for hope, shutouts thrown, home runs hit and a whole lot of baseball. It's a beautiful thing.
And then there's a team that you don't think has a chance that somehow stays atop the standings. Sure, they may not win it all, or even make the playoffs, like the Padres last season. But they still bring some excitement and reasons to watch through August and September. The ride isn't half the fun, it's all the fun.
Even without a spot at the top of the standings, there's a reason to go to the ballpark -- heck, going to the ballpark is reason enough. A hot dog, a beer and an afternoon game in the bleachers? Heaven, even if two also-rans are on the field.
Then there's rookies to watch and dream about their potential or the veteran to remember him in his prime.
Yeah, baseball is full of the cheesy cliches, but that's another part of the fun. I'm cheesy about the start of baseball season and I just don't care. (Of course, this is coming from someone who spent the last minutes leading up to a NCAA National Championship game back in the media room watching a Royals opener on TV right up until tipoff when I reluctantly went to my courtside seat to the game, so I may be a little messed up in the head.)
TENSION: Imagine going into the last day of the exhibition season unsure of your fate and then throwing a pickoff move into right field with two outs and a 1-0 lead in the ninth inning that leads to the losing runs. That can't feel good.
And then, well, being called into the manager's office right before the final cuts are announced. Really, really not good.
Except, after A's manager Bob Geren went over Bobby Cramer's gaffe, he then congratulated him on making the team.
Cramer, a 10-year minor league veteran, made his first opening day roster and will be the A's long reliever. (San Francisco Chronicle)
TICKETS AVAILABLE: The guys who brought you last year's Mets help wanted video with not-John Ricco, are back trying to sell Mets opening day tickets.
While not as good as their last Mets video, it's still pretty good.
MO BETTER: We know Mariano Rivera has been really good for a really long time, but check out his run as the Yankees' closer against all the other closers since he took over in New York in this great graphic from the Washington Post.
HOPEFUL HAPP: Astros lefty J.A. Happ still hopes to get back to pitch on his turn in the team's rotation, Sunday against the Phillies. The former Phillie, Happ, would be facing former Astro, Roy Oswalt in the final game of the opening series. (Houston Chronicle)
VIVA ANAHEIM: I think I've already named about three "best promo ever" winners, but this is my current favorite -- the Angels' Mexican wrestler mask. I so wish I could be in SoCal in May, instead I'll be in Ireland. Oh well. (Orange County Register)
MEET THE METS: The Mets are trying to embrace their blogging community and hosted a conference call with manager Terry Collins on Monday. (Networked Blogs)
BURNETT SICK: Yankees starter A.J. Burnett is dealing with the flu, but says he still expects to make his scheduled start on Saturday. (New York Daily News)
BASEBALL HEALING: I lived in Japan for a couple of years and I've told people many times about the high school baseball tournament and the best way I've been able to describe it is the NCAA basketball tournament -- but only better, because it's baseball. It's even more important this year. (Associated Press)
PIRATES LIKELY TO BEAT PREDICTION: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review columnist Joe Starkey doesn't have high hopes for the Pirates this season. That's understandable. That said, I think they'll do better than his 9-153 perdecition.
TATER TROT RETURNS: Larry Granillo is bring back the Tater Trot Tracker. For those of you who missed it last year, the blogger tracked the time of every home run trot i the majors last season. He's doing the tracker for Baseball Prospectus this year, check out what he learned last season.
UNIWATCH: The always awesome Uniwatch baseball preview. There aren't too many changes this year, except for the Dodger throwbacks and the end of the Blue Jays' powder blues.
SAFETY FIRST: MLB is taking steps to help protect players against concussions, but the players can choose to do more, and Justin Morneau is doing that. Morneau will wear the Rawlings S100 helmet this year. The oversized helmet offers more protection for a batter's head, but is the subject of ridicule by other players and fans. Some players, such as David Wright, have worn it briefly only to go back to a regular helmet after hearing the jokes. Morneau apparently doesn't think concussions are funny, and he's right. (St. Paul Pioneer Press)
BACKPEDDLING: Andre Either's agent says he'd love to stay in Los Angeles long-term. Of course he would. (Los Angeles Times)
AN APPLE A DAY: One of the most injured teams last season, the Red Sox are hoping prevention can help them beat injuries. (Boston Globe)
EXPRESS LINE: Putting aside the vogue bigger, badder, fatter concessions, two minor league clubs -- Richmond and Lehigh Valley -- are going with faster, allowing you to use your smartphone to preorder and pay for your concessions. (Ben's Biz Blog)
PREVIEW: Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper were on display at NatsFest at Nationals Park. Strasburg said he's hoping to start opening day 2012 for the Nats. Harper said his ankle is fine, even though there's still concern he may miss his minor league team's April 7 opener. (Washington Post)
SPEAKING OF PROSPECTS: The Kansas City Star's baseball preview section is mostly about the Royals of 2012 and beyond, instead of this year's team. Bob Dutton asks if the Royals' influx of talent means Kansas City can return to its winning ways of the 70s and 80s. And then Tod Palmer looks at how it could go wrong -- like the Pirates of the late 90s.
REMEMBERING THE DUKE: The Dodgers will wear a No. 4 patch on their uniforms to honor the late Duke Snider. (MLB.com)
DONE GOOD: Kudos for Dan Haren for his work in helping fund a Miracle League field, allowing special-needs kids a place to play baseball. (Arizona Republic)
MUST READ: This graphic novel biography of Roberto Clemente looks awesome. (Atomic Books)

Who will play their final game in 2011?
By C. Trent Rosecrans
As we look forward to the 2011 season, we look at some of the players that might be entering their final season in big-league baseball. Few of these players are likely thinking about retirement now -- and some may not be thinking about calling it a career when the season ends.
Players can choose retirement and others will find retirement chooses them. Here's a look at some of the bigger names that could be entering their final season.
Carlos Beltran
Age: 34 on April 24
2010 stats: .255/.341/.427, 7 HR, 27 RBI, 3 SB
2011 role: Since playing 161 games in 2008, Beltran played 145 combined the last two seasons.
Contract status: Final year of a seven-year deal.
Probability he hangs 'em up: Low. Beltran still wants to play and still thinks he can. He's the type who will play until he's physically unable to continue. That's probably not as far away as he thinks, and he may not get to make his own decision to retire. Injuries have slowed him the last couple of years and it's tough to see him returning to his former heights.
Lance Berkman
Age: 35
2010 stats: .248/.368/.413, 14 HR, 58 RBI
2011 role: Not only will Berkman be a regular, but he's going to be the Cardinals' regular right fielder. He hasn't played a full season in the outfield since 2004. He played 49 games in the outfield in 2005, 44 in '06 and 31 in '07, but none in the past three seasons. He was limited to 17 games this spring and hit .189/.204/.264 with one homer.
Contract status: Signed a one-year deal.
Probability he hangs 'em up: Iffy. He's one of those guys who will get another chance no matter how 2011 goes, but would his pride keep him from being just another guy or could he welcome a reduced role somewhere?
Mark Buehrle
Age: 32
2010 stats: 13-13, 4.28 ERA, 99 K, 210 1/3 IP
2011 role: For the ninth consecutive year, Buehrle will start for the White Sox on opening day. He's expected to anchor the rotation and help lead Chicago into the playoffs.
Contract status: Final year of a four-year deal.
Probability he hangs 'em up: 50/50. Buehrle seems to have plenty left in the tank, but has talked openly -- and often -- about retiring after this season. He's also mentioned wanting to be closer to home and may compromise by signing with the Cardinals.
Johnny Damon
Age: 37
2010 stats: .271/.355/.401, 8 HR, 51 RBI, 11 SB
2011 role: He'll be the team's everyday left fielder, replacing Carl Crawford. That'll be a definite step down offensively and defensively, but he could still help the Rays score some runs.
Contract status: Signed a one-year deal.
Probability he hangs 'em up: Low. Damon has 2,571 hits and would likely need two more years past this season to get to 3,000. The desire is there, but will anyone take him? His chances hinge on how he performs this season.
Vladimir Guerrero
Age: 36
2010 stats: .300/.345/.496, 29 HR, 115 RBI
2011 role: Guerrero will be the Orioles' everyday designated hitter.
Contract status: Signed a one-year deal.
Probability he hangs 'em up: Low. Guerrero certainly looked old and his bat looked slow last fall, but he was a big reason the Rangers were in the playoffs. His spring numbers have done nothing to dismiss the notion that he can still compete. He hit .365/.358/.635 with five homers for his new team. Guerrero was the one aging designated hitter that received a contract close to his last one.
Derrek Lee
Age: 35
2010 stats: .260/.347/.428, 19 HR, 80 RBI
2011 role: He's expected to be the Orioles' first baseman, but injury concerns may throw a wrench in those plans.
Contract status: Signed a one-year deal.
Probability he hangs 'em up: 50/50. Lee didn't play in an exhibition game until March 19 because of his wrist. Then he fouled a ball off his foot in his first game back, which limited his play. He managed to get in just eight games this spring. If healthy, Lee can still play. But if he's not, he may just decide it's not worth it and return home to California to be with his family.
Chipper Jones
Age: 39 on April 24
2010 stats: .265/.381/.426, 10 HR, 46 RBI
2011 role: Braves' everyday third baseman. He had a great spring, hitting .407/.453/.746 with four home runs in 20 games, a good sign for his comeback from knee surgery.
Contract status: Signed through the 2012 season, with a club option for 2013.
Probability he hangs 'em up: High. Jones talked about retiring last season, but came back when he couldn't finish under his own terms.
Hideki Matsui
Age: 36
2010 stats: .274/.361/.459, 21 HR, 84 RBI
2011 role: A's everyday DH. The A's will be happy if Matsui can replicate his 2010 numbers with the Angels, but he's hitting in a worse park with fewer offensive weapons around him. Matsui had a rough spring -- .125/.246/.179 with one homer through Monday -- and if that continues through the season, it could by sayonara.
Contract status: Signed a one-year deal. Probability he hangs 'em up: Good. Matsui's been playing professionally since 1993 when he debuted at age 19 with the Yomiuri Giants. Matsui is now limited to DH and the market wasn't too hot for him this offseason, so a down year could mean there may be nowhere to go but home.
Roy Oswalt
Age: 33
2010 stats: 13-13, 2.76 ERA, 193 K, 211 2/3 IP
2011 role: Oswalt will take the ball every fifth day in what could be the best rotation since the advent of the five-man rotation -- or at least since the Braves of the early-to-mid 90s. Oswalt seemed energized by his trade out of Houston to Philadelphia before last year's deadline, going 7-1 with a 1.74 ERA in the regular season with the Phillies. He also pitched well in two starts and a relief appearance in the NLDS against the Giants.
Contract status: Final year of a five-year deal, but the Phillies have a $16 million option with a $2 million buyout.
Probability he hangs 'em up: Low. Oswalt's talked about retirement, but he's still very much a good pitcher and seems to have several good years ahead of him and a lot of money to be made.
Manny Ramirez
Age: 39 on May 30
2010 stats: .298/.409/.460, 9 HR, 42 RBI
2011 role: Ramirez will be the team's everyday DH. Ramirez and Damon are being counted on to help make up for the loss of Crawford and Carlos Pena.
Contract status: Signed a one-year deal.
Probability he hangs 'em up: 50/50. Ramirez seems like he'll keep taking his show on the road until nobody wants him anymore. The fact that he's getting just $2 million this season tells you he wasn't wanted by many. His act has worn thin, but if he bounces back and hits like he can, someone will want him.
Mariano Rivera
Age: 41
2010 stats: 3-3, 1.80 ERA, 33 saves
2011 role: Rivera is expected to still be the best reliever in baseball history.
Contract status: First year of a two-year deal.
Probability he hangs 'em up: Low. He's 41, and that seems old. But tell that to any of the batters who face him. If he had signed a one-year deal this offseason, I could see him retiring after this season, but the two-year deal makes sense for both him and the team. He's 41 saves shy of 600 and 43 from overtaking Trevor Hoffman as the all-time leader.
Jim Thome
Age: 40
2010 stats: .283/.412/.627, 25 HR, 59 RBI
2011 role: A platoon/reserve DH for the Twins with Jason Kubel. Thome had the same type of role at the beginning of 2010 and became more of a regular after Justin Morneau's concussion. Thome is still dangerous against right-handed pitchers, but struggles against lefties.
Contract status: Signed a one-year deal.
Probability he hangs 'em up: Good. By the end of the season, Thome will be 41 and will likely hit all the milestones -- he has 589 homers -- he can before the end of his career.
Chase Utley
Age: 32
2010 stats: .275/.387/.445, 16 HR, 65 RBI
2011 role: Ideally he'd be playing second base every day for the Phillies, but who knows when he'll be ready?
Contract status: Signed through 2013.
Probability he hangs 'em up: Low. But injuries haven't been kind to Utley. He doesn't want to retire anytime soon, but it may not end up being his decision.
Omar Vizquel
Age: 44 on April 24
2010 stats: .276/.341/.331, 2 HR, 30 RBI, 11 SB
2011 role: He will once again be a utility infielder for the White Sox. He received more playing time than expected last season due to others' injuries, playing in 108 games for Chicago.
Contract status: Signed a one-year deal.
Probability he hangs 'em up: High. Although, with another year he has an outside shot at 3,000 hits. He enters 2011 with 2,799 hits, but it has taken him three seasons to get his last 201 hits. It seems difficult to believe he could play until he's 46 and keep that level of production. However, if he did get to the magic 3,000, it would cement his Hall of Fame candidacy.
Tim Wakefield
Age: 44
2010 stats: 4-10, 5.34 ERA, 84 K, 140 IP
2011 role: Long reliever/emergency starter. It's the same role Wakefield was asked to play last season when he bristled at being taken out of the rotation. A knuckleballer is a tough pitcher to manage out of the 'pen, there's too much uncertainty in the pitch to use him as a late-inning reliever, but he doesn't fit into the rotation anymore and the team can still use him.
Contract status: Final year of a two-year deal.
Probability he hangs 'em up: High. Wakefield will be 45 at the end of the season and his role as a reliever isn't well-suited for the knuckleballer.
Kerry Wood
Age: 33
2010 stats: 3-4, 3.13 ERA, 8 saves
2011 role: Wood will be the main set-up man to closer Carlos Marmol. He thrived as a set-up man with the Yankees last season.
Contract status: Signed a one-year deal.
Probability he hangs 'em up: 50/50. Wood still has plenty in the tank, especially if he doesn't have to be a closer anymore. He's seemed to embrace the elder statesman role with the Cubs and could still be an effective reliever for several years. He's considered retirement in the past and has already been told he has a job with the Cubs whenever he does hang them up.

Oswalt hit by line drive in spring game

Phillies starting pitcher Roy Oswalt has been hit by a line drive off the bat of Manny Ramirez in a spring training game against the Rays. Initial reports speculated the ball hit him in the head, neck or shoulder. He immediately went down to the ground -- at which time his teammates hurried to check on his well-being -- and later got up. He was able to walk to the locker room under his own power, which is a good sign. (MLB.com via Twitter )
UPDATE: Oswalt was struck behind his right ear. Fortunately, he never lost consciousness. He's getting X-Rays. (Jim Salisbury via Twitter ) Other reports support this one and add that Oswalt also has a neck contusion and has suffered some dizziness.
UPDATE TWO: The X-Rays were negative, so that's one area where Oswalt is in the clear. (Salisbury Twitter )
UPDATE THREE: Oswalt had a CT scan, which turned up negative as well. In fact, he told Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee that he wanted to stay in the game. (MLB.com via Twitter )
Factoring everything in, it seems he dodged a bullet and is fine.
There is a youtube video of the play , though it's not likely to last too long before being pulled.

Amaro: trade rumors are 'b.s.'
By C. Trent Rosecrans
The Phillies may have some questions about Chase Utley's health, the team's third baseman and the interim right fielder until Domonic Brown is ready to return, but general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. says the team won't do anything because there's no room in the budget.
"I have no money to play with," Amaro told Jim Duquette on MLB Network radio (via the Philadelphia Daily News). "Our payroll is going to be over $160 million or so and I'm tapped out, my friend. Maxed out."
He said trades were out of the question, too.
"And those rumors you're hearing about third basemen and acquiring [a] second baseman and third baseman?" Amaro said. "All b.s., my friend. Just so you know."
Of course, Daily News beat writer David Murphy notes Amaro made the same calls of payroll inflexibility at last year's trade deadline when Philadelphia traded for Roy Oswalt and took on approximately $11 million over two seasons. He also cried poor this offseason and was able to squeeze out $120 million over five seasons for Cliff Lee.
The team could clear some space by moving Joe Blanton, who Amaro has said isn't going to be traded.
So, anyway, get ready for that big Phillies trade, because the storm winds are a blowin'.

Oswalt may retire; Hamels wants to stay in Philly
Even though the Phillies have a vaunted Big Four, it may not be together for very long.
Roy Oswalt (photo, left) has reiterated his stance that he could retire after 2011. Oswalt has a $16 million team option, but that didn't seem to matter to the 33-year-old.
"I'll play this year and see how it goes," Oswalt told FOX Sports. "I'll see where my body's at and pretty much go from there."
But while Oswalt considers retirement, Cole Hamels is in the middle of his prime and is set to make $9.5 million this season before becoming eligible for arbitration after the year for the final time. That means Hamels could move on from Philadelphia as soon as after the season in trade or as a free agent after 2012.
But Cole Hamels (photo, right) wants no part of that.
"I want to be here as long as I possibly can," Hamels said. "It's why Cliff [Lee] came back. It's the reason Roy [Halladay] wanted to be here. It's a great place to play. I want to be here for the majority of my time of being a baseball player. I've never looked at anything else. I just know that if I stay healthy and I'm able to go out and help the team, that is all going to speak for itself."
While that sentiment is admirable, it may be difficult for the Phillies to retain Hamels. The club will pay out $45 million alone to both Halladay and Lee in 2013, with $82 million already guaranteed in total contracts. The Phillies will have to replace Roy Oswalt and Joe Blanton in the rotation as well as deal with potential vacancies in the outfield and every infield position save first base. That's a lot of available positions and only so much cash to go around.
That said, Halladay and Lee are no spring chickens, and can't even be considered summer chickens by the time 2013 rolls around. Philadelphia would likely commit what it takes to retain Hamels and then focus on the offense,.
