Lee Benson, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Retired Utah attorney Keith Romney is considered the Father of Modern Condominiums. It was his work in 1960 that led to the first condo project in America, right here in Salt Lake City.
Romney was hired as legal counsel for developers building a 120-unit apartment complex for people ages 50 and above. Graystone would sit on the corner of Highland Drive and 2700 South.
The developers wanted to sell the apartments co-op style, like they did in the big cities, and sent their legal counsel to New York and Chicago to study how that could be done.
But after returning from his road trip, Romney, 31 years old and just getting started as a lawyer, told the developers he had a better idea. It was his belief that Westerners in general, and Utahns in particular, wouldn't be too interested in co-op-style leases.
What would interest them would be apartments they could own, along with an ownership share in the surrounding grounds and infrastructure.
They'd call the units condominiums, and if that seemed like a new-fangled term, Romney assured everyone that it was actually old-fangled.
Romney had discovered evidence of joint ownership of dwellings that dated back to the Roman empire. On a visit to Rome, he'd personally seen the word "condominio" etched in marble in a Roman ruin.
He didn't invent the concept, he just unearthed it. He called it "an ancient new idea" and made it legal by lobbying the Legislature to pass the Utah Condominium Act of 1960.
That done, he came up with the very first advertisement for the very first modern condominium project at Graystone Arms.
The ad was three words long: No More Yardwork.
Within two weeks, 70 percent of the units were sold. Not long after that, they were all gone.
Romney became the condo king and Utah the condo epicenter. He helped other states draft condominium legislation and worked with groups that started the first family condos (Three Fountains in Murray), the first resort condos (Treasure Mountain Inn in Park City), the first office building condos (in Arkansas) and the first hotel condos (Marriott Camelback Inn in Scottsdale, Ariz.).
The wave he launched has never crested. Fifty-two years later, untold millions of condominiums have been sold throughout the country.
But there's irony in this story, the very best kind of irony.
Keith Romney is 83 years old now and doesn't live in a condominium.
Nor will he ever.
He and his wife, Janet, remain comfortably in their house on Gillmer Drive in Salt Lake City. It's the home they first moved into in 1959, a year before Americans began hearing of condos. It's the home where they raised their family.
The Romneys would appear to be perfect candidates for condo living. Keith has degenerative muscular dystrophy and can't move by himself out of the wheelchair he's been in for the past 12 years. He needs help to do virtually everything physical. Janet has scoliosis and arthritis and other things incident to age that severely limit her walking. She, too, moves mainly by electric wheelchair.
But Keith and Janet get around just fine, and not through their own actions.

Launching a new product in a relatively new category can be tough, but HTC is not shying away from doing so. This company's RE Camera will be on the market in time for the holiday season. And to satisfy the tastes of everyone, the RE Camera comes in orange, white, and navy blue (the latter of which is exclusive to Best Buy). Pre-orders have been open since the device was announced in October. Shipments, though, have yet to start.
HTC unveils its new Rapid Charger 2.0
Following closely in Motorola's footsteps, HTC has today taken the wraps off its new Rapid Charger, which takes full advantage of Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 technology that's integrated into all of its latest Snapdragon chipsets.
HTC Dot View trick shows up just in time for Halloween
If you are the owner of an HTC One (M8) and have a Dot View case, you may find yourself treated to a little trick courtesy of HTC. When HTC updated the Dot View app recently, they snuck in some surprises for users. During the day today, Halloween, users are discovering that the Dot View wallpaper that is displayed has been changed from their selection to a custom Jack-O'-Lantern theme.
In addition to the static Jack-O'-Lantern wallpaper, an animation shows up when notifications are created. Users are greeted by a moving skeleton and some bats flying around. Sources have started testing the device a bit more by changing the date and have discovered that a special surprise is waiting for users when Christmas arrives.

HTC ekes out a small 3rd quarter profit
HTC made a profit for the second straight quarter, which is something we haven't seen in a while. They just reported 3rd quarter results which showed NT 0.6 billion ($19 million) in net profit after taxes. Interestingly enough this small profit is lower than the last quarter, which came in at NT 2.3 billion ($75 million). So I am not sure the trend is all that great, but a profit is a profit right? Revenues were also down from the previous quarter, NT 41.9 billion ($1.38 billion) vs NT 65.1 ($2.17 billion).
HTC said that the One (M8) did well "despite stiff competition," and they expect revenues to go up slightly in the 4th quarter.
Is HTC back or is this going to be short-lived?

HTC's unannounced Desire 816h passes through TENAA
Earlier today, an unannounced scaled-down variant of HTC's latest budget-friendly smartphone, the Desire 816, passed through China's official nationalized certification database, TENAA.
HTC may abandon M* naming convention for flagship in 2015
A new leak posted via Twitter user @upleaks claims HTC will abandon the M* naming system for flagship devices when their next iteration is released in 2015. After the HTC One M7 in 2013 and the HTC One M8 in 2014, it seemed likely HTC would go with the HTC One M9 for their next device. However, if this latest leak is accurate, the next flagship will use something else.
HTC recently released a new smartphone, the HTC Desire EYE, which abandoned a familiar naming scheme for Desire devices. They had previously used a numbering system, like HTC Desire 820 or HTC Desire 610. If HTC decides to abandon the M* convention, it would not be inconsistent with this latest marketing move.
Do you think HTC should stick with their current naming scheme or would a change be welcome? If you could suggest a name to HTC for their flagship line of devices, what would it be?

Sprint-branded HTC One now receiving Eye Experience update
In addition to expanding its enhanced 4G LTE service today, Sprint has also started rolling out a rather hefty over-the-air update to all its carrier-branded variants of HTC's flagship smartphone, the One (M8), currently located in the United States.
Weighing in at 250MB, the upgrade transports the Taiwanese company's recently-announced Eye Experience camera software, together with a bunch of bug fixes, stability improvements and speed optimizations.
Hit the break to see the full changelog.
Alleged HTC Sense 7 screenshots highlight Material Design
A few hours ago, a couple of screenshots appeared online allegedly showcasing HTC's upcoming Sense 7 user interface that's expected to roll out alongside the Taiwanese company's release of Android 5.0 next month.
HTC One (M8) for Verizon now receiving software update with Eye Experience, Android 4.4.4
A software update has arrived for Verizon customers with the HTC One (M8). It brings the Eye Experience software introduced a few weeks ago as well as Android 4.4.4 in a file totaling just over 210MB. The carrier estimates that the update will take six minutes and that is about what I experienced. The device cycles through some restarts with installations once the download is complete and then the device is ready to go. Of course, Android 4.4.4 is primarily unnoticed changes; however, the Eye Experience gives new features to the Camera app.
Update: HTC threw an extra application into this software update. The HTC One (M8) now has a pre-installed flashlight app.
Verizon pushing Eye Experience update to its HTC One (M8) on Wednesday
Either the hardware manufacturers are getting things right or the carriers are easing up on the testing phase. Tomorrow, owners of the HTC One (M8) on Verizon will be getting a software update. The update includes the new Eye Experience that was announced alongside the Desire Eye and RE Camera. HTC expects the over-the-air (OTA) update to arrive around noon on Wednesday.
Mo Versi, HTC's VP of Product Management, tweeted the news on Tuesday:
HTC One (M8) Verizon owners! We have technical approval on Eye SW! OTA target for tomorrow at noon! #HTCAdvantage

18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
main index
Robin: (regarding a "back-up marriage" pact) We still have our deal, right? If we're both still single when we're 40?There are several series that establish a own status quo, even if it is subject to change periodically there is usually still a basic formula that surrounds each installment. Certain conventions are also in place that are linked to the premise or the characters, as usually the main characters are responsible for everything that happens. After some time, if the series becomes aware of itself it may start looking back and pointing out the realistic issues regarding their own conventions and how they the use their tropes. As well as taking one aspect, and either exploring it to the possible point of Mind Screw, or playing it far too straight for it to be taken at face value. In effect, they are deconstructing themselves. To be considered for this trope, the series in question must have established a common pattern and spend some times using it without irony. After that pattern has become a series staple, that's when they start to poke holes in it. It isn't just Growing the Beard by refining the original pattern to its apex. It may be the result of Cerebus Syndrome. It may also be an Author's Saving Throw or an answer to an unrelenting Status Quo Is God. Compare Ascended Fridge Horror. If a series starts off idealistic and then deconstructs its own ideals, then Graying Morality may ensue.
Ted: Yeah. (long pause) No. I'm sorry. I can't do that anymore. As long as the door is even a little bit open, I have this feeling that I'll just be waiting around to see if I win the lottery when you turn 40.

Charles Woodson's agent told Tyler Dunne of the Miwaukee Journal-Sentinel that they'are assuming he'll be back with the Green Bay Packers for next season. Woodson's agent: "They haven't said anything to the contrary, so we're assuming he's going to be back." #packers — Tyler Dunne (@TyDunne) February 6, 2013 Woodson will turn 37 years-old this coming October and is scheduled to make $6.5 million for the 2013 season along with some bonus' that are also included. I could see the Packers trying to work with Woodson's agent to restructure his contract before they end up releasing him, if they do. I just can't imagine him making that much money next season.

Doubts about Cubs' offense high after sweep in Atlanta
BY GORDON WITTENMYER Staff Reporter May 11, 2014 9:42PM
Chicago Cubs catcher Welington Castillo, left, and shortstop Starlin Castro, right, lean against the dugout railing as they watch the top of the ninth inning of a baseball game against the Atlanta Braves, Sunday, May 11, 2014, in Atlanta. Atlanta won 5-2. (AP Photo/John Bazemore) ORG XMIT: GAJB113
Updated: May 13, 2014 6:39PM
ATLANTA — Watching the Cubs try to score runs this season feels a lot like that scene where Jack Nicholson's character walks into the psychiatrist's waiting room, takes one look at the patients and says, ''What if this is as good as it gets?''
In the Cubs' case, the question seems to have been answered for weeks, and we've barely reached Mother's Day.
Not that this was supposed to be The Year when the Cubs turned the corner or tried to flip the competitive switch with all those prospects coming in the system. But did anybody expect this in the third year of the overhaul?
When the Cubs lost 5-2 to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, it marked the 15th time in 36 games — including all three in the Braves' series sweep — that they've managed two or fewer runs. It's been three or fewer runs 20 times.
They already were the third-lowest scoring team in the National League entering play Sunday before 36-year-old Aaron Harang, an overlooked free agent signed at the end of spring training because of injuries, struck them out nine times in a six-inning start.
Both players with long-term contracts — Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro — are having the rebound seasons, so far, that the Cubs hoped to see. And despite Emilio Bonifacio's recent struggles, their on-base percentage from the leadoff spot ranks third in the NL.
The only two runs Sunday were created by Rizzo's leadoff walk in the fourth, followed by Castro's double, with Nate Schierholtz driving both in with another double.
Yet here they are, a team whose starting outfield Sunday doesn't have a home run this season. Whose pitching ace, Jeff Samardzija, has the second-best ERA in the majors through eight starts but doesn't have a win. Whose lineup has more strikeouts (89) with men in scoring position than RBI (87) and a .195 average.
''We've got to keep plugging away,'' said manager Rick Renteria, who has used almost every lineup combination available. Asked after Sunday's game if he could think of any other potential changes to make, he said, ''No.''
''We can put the bat on the ball,'' he said. ''We've got to do a better job of understanding the situation and not getting ourselves too excited — take the emotion out of it.''
That's what hitting coaches Bill Mueller and Mike Brumley have stressed, especially lately, Renteria said. ''But it's still a process.''
Or not. Maybe this is all there is.
Don't expect to see any help anytime soon from those prospects. The top-ranked hitter in the system, Javy Baez, is struggling to hit .150 at Class AAA Iowa and has the highest strikeout rate in the Pacific Coast League.
And don't even think about hot-hitting Class AA slugger Kris Bryant. The Cubs are in no rush to move him to AAA, much less Chicago.
At this rate, the Cubs' struggles are putting them in play for the top overall pick in next year's draft. They're on a 108-loss pace as they head to St. Louis for a four-game series starting Monday.
As good as it gets in 2014?
''No,'' Renteria insisted. ''Are these guys the final product? No. That's my answer. These players are not the final product. There's a lot of skill in these guys, and they're not completely there yet. They're chipping away.''
Chipping away at attendance, maybe. Chipping away at the confidence of a pitching staff that actually has kept a lot of games close — a pitching staff that figures to be decimated again at the trading deadline.
As good as it gets?
Take another look around Nicholson's waiting room and pull up a chair for the final 126 games.

Darius Rucker: 'If It's Not a Country Song, I Don't Want to Play It'
Crossover artist Darius Rucker was met with a lot of naysayers when he decided to try his hand at country music, but the singer says he wants nothing more than to be country.
Crossover artist Darius Rucker was met with a lot of naysayers when he decided to try his hand at country music, but the singer says he wants nothing more than to be country.
The 2014 ACM Awards turned into a good ole' fashioned sing-along when Darius Rucker and Lady Antebellum took to the stage for a rousing rendition of 'Wagon Wheel.'
Darius Rucker will kick off this year's CMA Fest in a way only he could. Every year, Rucker hosts Darius and Friends, a benefit concert at the launch of the country music festival in Nashville.
Join Mike Poulin (March 23) today at the Camelot Homes 'Open House,' Washington Street in in Auburn. Stop in from 11am-2pm, we'll be giving away Darius Rucker concert tickets, ski passes and much more including a scavenger hunt for kids.
While he's not one himself, Darius Rucker knows who country's bad boys are!
The polar vortex has been rearing its cold and snowy head quite a bit lately, which can affect artists who are on the road touring. Last week, David Nail encountered a problem with icy roads when he was on his way to open a show for Darius Rucker in New York.
Cabin fever has a firm grip on Mainers, so how about some hot, new country music to break that funk? February is featuring many exciting new releases. Here's what your ears can look forward to!
Jay Leno will wrap his lengthy stint as the host of 'The Tonight Show' in February, when Jimmy Fallon takes over and moves the show to NYC. However, country superstar Darius Rucker will have the distinction of being one of the last acts to perform on the show with Leno as host before he signs off (again).
All five nominees for the Heartwarming Moment of the Year award at the 2014 Taste of Country Awards involve kids ... duh. Country artists go out of of their way to help children in need, turning up in the most surprising places. It's the only format where a dying girl can ask to get a phone call from her favorite singer and actually receive it.
With Artist of the Year already decided, Song of the Year is the most distinguished honor at the 2014 Taste of Country Awards. Ten hits from 2013 make the ballot, including ACM, CMA and Grammy nominees. Combined, these tracks have sold over 11 million downloads, but which is worthy of this fan-decided honor?

It's become clear from the outpouring of sympathy for Robin Williams on social media over the past few days that no one community – fans, actors or comedians – could truly, exclusively claim the man as "their own."
But comedy is a tight club, which is why watching late-night hosts Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers toast their departed friend and peer was so touching.

According to Regis Philbin's appearance on Late Night Wednesday, 30 Rock might not have been that far off.

DEFINITION of 'Indenture'
A legal and binding contract between a bond issuer and the bondholders. The indenture specifies all the important features of a bond, such as its maturity date, timing of interest payments, method of interest calculation, callable/convertible features if applicable and so on. The indenture also contains all the terms and conditions applicable to the bond issue. Other critical information included in the indenture are the financial covenants that govern the issuer and the formulas for calculating whether the issuer is within the covenants.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Indenture'
Should a conflict arise between the issuer and bondholders, the indenture is the reference document used for conflict resolution. As a result, the indenture contains all the minutiae of the bond issue.
In the fixed-income market, an indenture is hardly ever referred to when times are normal. But the indenture becomes the go-to document when certain events take place, such as if the issuer is in danger of violating a bond covenant. The indenture will then be scrutinized closely to make sure there is no ambiguity in calculating the financial ratios that determine whether the issuer is abiding by the covenants. The indenture is another name for the bond contract terms, which are also referred to as a deed of trust.

Ya, I'd take a real hard look at a 1-4x. Honestly with more and more practice I'm getting faster picking up my sight picture. Its also pretty a pretty good workout as my SPR is a heavy pig. Its almost as fast as a red dot, but a consistent check weld is alot more critical for speed.
My friend has an Eotech with a 4x magnifier. The sight picture and eyebox is better on my Viper PST than his magnifier.
If guns kill people, mine are defective.
See the whole thing about scopes is alot more than just absolute magnification power.
Sure you can get a 30x scope but the field of view is soo small that you it will be next to impossible to find your target in less than 10 seconds.
When hunting as you probably well know, time is the enemy. So when hunting or even practical shooting, getting behind an optic with a generous field of view (FOV) is extremely beneficial. A good friend of mine who varmints with a .223 at 100 too 200 (even 300 at times) yards, says that he's usually around 4-5x power on his 3-9x just because, at higher mags, its just too hard to find the damn varmints.
At 1x, you can shoot with both eyes open with minimal loss of field of view, get a sight picture almost as fast as a red dot. With a cat tail you can dial up to 4x in a second. For your intended use, I think a 1-4 variable power optic will be very nice.
read this....
its a LONG read, but worth your while.http://www.ar15.com/mobile/topic.html?b=3&f=18&t=421244&page=1

Never underestimate the power of a clerical error. A couple in Sicily were recently treated to an eye-popping $44,500 parking fine after interest and late fees were accounted for. According to the officer who wrote the citation, the car was illegally parked in the year 208 during the reign of Roman Emperor Septimius Severus. Needless to say, there were some chronological issues at play. According to The Associated Free Press, the shock of the fine was so severe that it sent the wife into a dizzy spell. She was treated at a local hospital and released.
Not surprisingly, the ticket should have read 2008. Local police acknowledged the error and reduced the fine to a much more manageable $144, which the family later paid.

Pitching Dominates as Tribe Falls
boxscore (photos by NancyZ)
The Toledo Mud Hens beat out the Indianapolis Indians last night at Victory Field by a score of 4-2, in a game dominated by the pitchers. Dennis Tankersley led the way for the Mud Hens, throwing 111 pitches in 8 innings to earn his 9th win of the season. He held the Indians to only 5 hits and walked 3 batters, while striking out 8. Indians' starter Bryan Bullington pitched 6.1 innings, only getting into difficulties in the 7th inning. He took the loss, his 6th of the season.
The Indians struck first, in the bottom of the first inning. Lead-off man CF Matt Kata (photo) popped a single into left-center field, and moved to second base when SS Brian Bixler walked. LF Michael Ryan, who was honored as the Indians' July Player of the Month in a pre-game ceremony, smashed a bases-clearing triple down the right field line for two RBI.
Hens' starter Dennis Tankersley finished the first inning with two strikeouts, and then settled in, holding the Indians to just three more hits. He set the Tribe down in order in 4 of the next 7 innings. The Indians' biggest threat came in the 4th inning. Michael Ryan (photo, with manager Trent Jewett) had 3 of the Indians' 5 total hits, including a second triple, to lead off the 4th inning. After DH Brad Eldred looked at a called third strike, 3B Yurendell de Caster was hit by a pitch and RF Adam Boeve walked, loading the bases. But Tankersley got out of trouble by inducing 2B Luis Ordaz to ground into a double play, ending the threat.
Ryan also singled in the 6th inning, and Adam Boeve singled in the 7th inning, but both were left stranded on base. Reliever Jose Capellan, in only his third appearance since joining the Mud Hens, earned his first save for the Hens by pitching a perfect 9th inning.
Indians' starter Bryan Bullington (photo, with pitching coach Jeff Andrews and catcher David Parrish) pitched 6 scoreless innings, giving up only 2 hits. He faced the minimum number of batters in only one inning, but was not fazed by the scattered hits and walks. By the end of the 6th inning, he had thrown 74 pitches. In the top of the 7th, though, things fell apart. Hens' 3B Mike Hessman made the first out by popping up to Tribe C David Parrish. Then 1B Chris Shelton singled on a liner up the middle, and 2B Henry Mateo doubled down the left field line, moving Shelton to third. A wild pitch to C Dane Sardinha allowed Shelton to score. Then Sardinha blasted a long high fly ball over the 410′ mark in straight-away center field, which landed in the ground cover in front of the pine trees. That gave the Mud Hens' a 3-2 lead, and ended Bullington's night.
Lefty reliever Juan Perez entered the game, and got two quick outs to end the 7th inning. He also started the 8th inning with two fly ball outs, and then was removed, as manager Trent Jewett wanted a right-handed pitcher. Brian Rogers came in and finished the 8th inning with a ground out to shortstop.
Rogers came back for the 9th inning, and Toledo added an insurance run. Mike Hessman led off with a double into the right-center field gap, and Chris Shelton moved him to second with a single. Rogers struck out Henry Mateo and Dane Sardinha, but on Sardinha's third strike, Shelton took off for second base. Tribe C David Parrish threw to Luis Ordaz (photo) at second base, with Shelton caught only about half way between first and second. As soon as Parrish threw, though, Hessman left third base to steal home. Ordaz alertly fired home, but the throw was wide. Hessman scored, and Shelton advanced to third base on the throwing error. CF Andres Torres was up next, and he was awarded first base on a catcher's interference call on Parrish. That didn't matter, though, as the inning ended when 1B Steve Pearce went to his right to catch a screaming line drive off the bat of SS Ramon Santiago.
Indians' hitting gem of the night: Michael Ryan (photo, clowning with the Pirate Parrot and Indians' personnel) hit two triples, plus a single, and had the two RBI for the Indians. ?I was seeing the ball well tonight, said Ryan, in a post-game interview. "It was a big honor for me to get the Player of the Month award so I had some adrenaline going into the game. I just wish we could have come out on top.?
Indians' defensive gem of the night: In the top of the 5th inning, 3B Yurendell de Caster made a diving catch, going to his right, of Henry Mateo's grounder that was about to go up the line and into left field. De Caster jumped to his feet and threw a clothesline to Steve Pearce at first base, to just get Mateo.

Michael Ryan was named the Indians' Player of the Month for July, and he was awarded a watch in the pre-game ceremony. During the month of July, Ryan hit .299, with 10 HR and 25 RBI. Those 10 homers led the International League for the month. He also had 10 multi-hit games, and had a .691 slugging percentage.
Before Ryan's two triples today, the last time a single Indians' player had hit two triples in one game was on June 6th, when Brian Bixler tripled in both the 1st and 8th innings against the Rochester Red Wings.
Luis Ordaz's throwing error in the 9th inning was only his fourth error of the season.
Go Tribe!
Game #114 at San Francisco
AT&T Park | 3:05 | Gorzelanny vs. Barry Zito | Box Tom Gorzelanny was stellar. He threw his first career complete game shutout. He allowed five hits and one walk while striking out four. He retired the final 16 Giants he faced. Josh Phelps put the game away for the offense. He belted a two run homer in the sixth and added a two run triple in the 7th for the final tallies. It was the first four-RBI game for Phelps since 4/9/05 and...
Pirates Thumping Red Sox Where it Matters Most
A few weeks ago, the Pittsburgh Pirates were absolutely embarrassed by the San Diego Padres as our newest crowd-pleaser, Captain Jolly Roger, was destroyed in the Mascot Brackets hosted by Home Run Derby.

To me hes the 6th best mascot in the Pirates...
Game #113 at San Francisco
AT&T Park | 3:55 | Armas vs. Tim Lincecum | Box The Pirates didn't need Tim Lincecum to be wild. They took him deep. Tony Armas has begun pitching just well enough to perhaps be traded to a contender down the stretch. Freddy Sanchez smacked a two run homer and Adam LaRoche followed with a solo blast in a five run fifth that put the Bucs up for good. LaRoche finished with a pair of knocks and three RBI and Sanchez tied his...
Deadline Nears, Top Draft Talent Remains Unsigned
The Pirates were widely criticized for not selecting Georgia Tech catcher Matt Wieters with the fourth pick in June's first-year player draft. Rather than add a potential franchise backstop, Dave Littlefield and crew opted for Daniel Moskos, a left-handed pitcher who projects best as a reliever—a low-upside, safe choice. Littlefield swore up and down that the signability of Wieters, a Scott Boras client, was not a concern,...
Indians and Bats Split Series
boxscore (photos by NancyZ)
(photo — Steve Pearce and Hensley "Bam Bam" Meulens)
The Indianapolis Indians and the Louisville Bats must have used up all their surplus hits over the past two nights, because they didn't seem to have many to spare in tonight's game at Louisville Slugger Field in Louisville, KY. The Indians had put up 23 hits in the past two games, but only could manage 5 hits tonight. The Bats had a total of 27 hits over the last two games, but they could only come up with 4 in tonight's game. The one hit advantage tonight was not enough for the Tribe, though, as they lost to the Bats by a score of 4-2.
The Indians also featured a new teammate tonight. Starter Victor Zambrano had not pitched since early July, when he was released by the Toronto Blue Jays. He has been with the Indians, throwing side sessions and getting ready to pitch again. Tonight he had his first appearance with the Indians.
Zambrano started off by walking the first batter, LF Chris Dickerson, and then giving up a single to RF Josh Hamilton, which moved Dickerson to third base. 1B Joey Votto grounded into a double play, erasing Hamilton, but Dickerson scored from third base on the play (no RBI for Votto). 3B Aaron Herr ended the inning with a pop out.
The Indians came right back in the top of the 2nd inning. RF Brad Eldred (photo) lined a ball into left field, which bounced for a ground rule double. Yurendell de Caster singled, and then moved to second base on a wild pitch by Bats' starter Tom Shearn. CF Luis Matos hit a sacrifice fly to bring in Eldred to tie the game. De Caster, who had moved to third on the sacrifice fly, scored when Shearn threw another wild pitch that went all the way to the backstop, and the Indians took the lead.
Victor Zambrano set the Bats down in order in the 2nd and 3rd innings, but gave up an unearned run in the 4th inning. Josh Hamilton reached base safely when Tribe SS Don Kelly misplayed a ground ball. He stole second, and moved to third base when Joey Votto grounded out. Another fielding error, this one by 3B Jose Hernandez when a grounder bounced off his glove and over toward shortstop, put Aaron Herr on base, and allowed Josh Hamilton to score. Zambrano struck out CF Jay Bruce, and then 2B Jorge Cantu was out on a running catch of a line drive by Tribe LF Michael Ryan to end the inning.
(Photo — Yurendell de Caster)
That was the extent of Zambrano's first outing. He threw 55 pitches (34 for strikes) in 4 innings, giving up two runs (one earned) on only one hit and one walk, while striking out 5 Louisville batters. Juan Perez entered the game in relief, and pitched on inning. He gave up two hits and one walk, for two runs in the 5th inning. C Ryan Jorgensen led off the inning with a walk, and SS Paul Janish doubled. Perez got two quick outs, a line out and a strikeout, then a single by Josh Hamilton scored both Jorgensen and Janish. Perez struck out Joey Votto to end the inning.
Tom Shearn pitched 7 innings for Louisville, giving up those two 2nd inning runs and 4 hits, while striking out 6. After that shaky second inning, Shearn settled down. He put the Tribe batters down in order in several innings, and allowed only two more hits, to Jose Hernandez and Steve Pearce. Hernandez was left stranded, and Pearce was erased on a double play.
Marcus McBeth pitched a perfect 8th inning for the Bats, and Ricky Stone came on to pitch the 9th inning. The Indians tried to make it interesting in the 9th, as Steve Pearce (photo) got his second hit of the game with two out, on a fly ball to LF. It wasn't clear at first whether or not Bats' LF Chris Dickerson had come up with the ball, and Pearce wasn't sure either — he hesitated after rounding first base. Dickerson had caught the ball but then immediately dropped it, and then picked it up again, and Pearce was safe at second base. Tribe LF Michael Ryan ran the count full, and then grounded out to end the inning, with Pearce still on second base.
Jesse Chavez pitched the 6th and 7th innings for the Tribe. He faced only one batter over the minimum, when Paul Janish singled. Bret Prinz came in to pitch the ninth, and he struck out three straight batters on 18 pitches (lots of foul balls).
Tom Shearn earned the win, lifting his record to 6-10. Ricky Stone earned his 12th save of the season. Victor Zambrano pitched well in his first appearance with the Indians, though he did not factor into the decision, as the score was tied when he left the game. Juan Perez took his second loss of the season.
Indians' hitting gem of the game: Steve Pearce, with two of the Indians' five hits, a single and a surprise double in the 9th inning.
Indians' defensive gem of the game: Michael Ryan made a spectacular catch in the bottom of the 4th. With two out and one runner on base, Jorge Cantu stroked a liner into left field. Ryan came running in, and made a sliding back-hand catch, for the third out of the inning.
(photo — Russ Johnson and Jose Hernandez)
Victor Zambrano was added to the Indians' roster today, though he's been with the team for a few days.
Last night's emergency pitcher/infielder Russ Johnson was placed on the Disabled List, making room on the roster for Zambrano.
Go Tribe!
