I'm thinking about a phrase that my former broadcast partner Pete Stemkowski always uses at this time of the season. As the teams skate toward Christmas, Stemmer has a tendency to say, "It's still early, but you'd better hurry up before it's too late." In the case of the San Jose Sharks, one of the reasons that they have been on this recent run is that they continue to play as if that phrase applies to them all the time.
Perhaps it does. That's the focused strategy that is needed in the NHL, and the Sharks are hoping to continue that progress as they face Edmonton and St. Louis to close out what has been a good home stand.
Technically, the Sharks are tied with Vancouver for 2nd in the Pacific Division with 38 points, but the Canucks have a game in hand. That reminds me of a redacted phrase, "(Forget) the games in hand," that former NHLer Reggie Fleming used to say when looking at the morning newspaper in the locker room. We won't forget the games in hand completely, but we will note that the Sharks are finding ways to rack up those important points in the standings.
But that brings us back to the focused intensity that the team has been showing and the standings seem to be requiring from everyone. While they're tied in the points for second in the division, they're also tied with Winnipeg for the first wild card spot, are only 2 points ahead of Los Angeles for the second wild card spot, and are two points ahead of a team, Calgary, that are on the outside looking in when it comes to the post-season.
When you look at the full NHL standings, make sure that you keep an eye on the "ROW" column, which isn't normally printed in the morning editions of the nation's press. That column, which stands for "regulation and overtime wins," shows San Jose with 15, which is 1 behind Vancouver, and just 1 ahead of Winnipeg, Calgary, and Minnesota.
Yes, it's the little details that will make the difference. Here are a few:
Joe Thornton has 8-13-21 even strength, which ties him for 11th in the NHL (Tyler Johnson of TB leads with 8-20-28). He leads the Sharks with 8 even strength goals, tied-25th. He's 8th (56.4% faceoffs). T-24th in NHL with 24 takeaways.
Tommy Wingels is 3rd in NHL hits w/124, 1 behind Cal Clutterbuck (NYI), 20 behind Matt Martin (144).
Antti Niemi has won his last 5 straight games, including the 2-0 victory against Nashville on Saturday. Over that span, he has stopped 92.7% of his shots. In the same span, Alex Stalock has gone 2-1-0 in 3 starts, and has stopped 92.9% of the shots he's faced. That's good goaltending, but it's also indicative of solid play in the defensive zone.
Brent Burns is on top of the team's list with an average of 23:29 of ice time per game. He's one of the top scorers among defensemen, as one would expect, and he's settling in well to a partnership with Brenden Dillon on the blue line. Against Nashville, he played 26:20, was +2, had 3 shots 3 hits, and 4 blocked shots.
Justin Braun leads the Sharks with 56 blocked shots, ranked 32nd in the NHL overall.
Joe Pavelski has 9 goals at home, which tie him for 9th in the NHL, but they've come in only 14 games. He's also 5th in the NHL with 116 shots on goal.
The Sharks are the only team in the NHL with 2 players, Joe Pavelski and Joe Thornton, in the top 10 list of best faceoff men in the game.
Patrick Marleau is on pace for 18-51-69. The assist total would be 1 shy of his career best, and if he can get over 70 points, it would be the 7th time in his career that he's reached that mark. He also has 10 hits in his last 3 games, and when he gets involved physically, he usually winds up with more offensive opportunities.
The Sharks look to continue to develop these little details as they develop their team culture, and if they continue that, they'll be ready to deal with any battle, and they won't have to worry about the games in hand or hurrying up before it's too late.

TEN Thoughts, TEN Days Before Christmas
- If it weren't for an unfortunate 2-1 loss to Edmonton two weekends ago, San Jose would be on an eight game win streak, right now. Which I realize is not the most outstanding current run in the Bay Area (congratulations, Warriors)… but still a very impressive stretch, worth recognizing.
- A large part of WHY San Jose has won seven of eight, is that they are finally getting "caught up"… getting back ahead of the curve. Antti Niemi hinted as much, after the game on Saturday night. Following 16 of the first 21 on the road, he explained the Sharks were still a little wore down in their first three games back at home. But quality practices and off days since then have helped earn 14 of a possible 16 points.
- Speaking of Niemi, how impressive was San Jose's tandem goaltending in the last three games? Antti hurt himself in the pregame warmups Tuesday night, putting Alex Stalock in the crease on short notice. Stalock allowed two goals against Edmonton and one versus Minnesota, picking up wins in both tilts. That led to Niemi's healthy return on Saturday night, where he pitched a 29 save shutout, including 18 stops in the 3rd period alone.
- If Todd McLellan's position on "the hot seat" was going to be floated around the hockey media and social media when the team was struggling through November… then I want to see his persistence and success rewarded here in December. Simple as that.
- I had the chance to hold the Sharks new "Stadium Series" Premier jersey this past week, in hand. There are a lot of fine details and creative touches that might not be seen from afar, that will definitely be appreciated when you see them up close.
- Joe Thornton has 1,222 points in 1,239 regular season games. Let that sink in. He continues to be, essentially a point-per-game player through more than 1,200 games. There's only ONE active player with more points than Joe… Jaromir Jagr.
- Joe Pavelski is sitting on 15 goals through 32 games. While this might be slightly on pace behind last year's career-high of 41… I still believe "Little Joe" can once again reach the 40 mark, provided a few late-season outbursts, as he enjoyed last year. And especially if he continues to skate on the Thornton line.
- Hard to believe "The Tank" is hosting hockey for the 22nd season. Hey, has somebody bought SAP Center a beer yet? I remember going there during the first year - 1993 to see what would be my first Sharks game against the Blackhawks. What's impressive is still how pristine and well kept the building looks. Almost like it's still new. Credit to all those who keep the venue top-notch year round.
- Just learned about "Metallica Night" at SAP Center on January 21st. Which brings me to TWO musical selections which should not change anytime in the near future. "Seek and Destroy" when the boys come out of the Shark head, and "The Hey Song - Organ Version" when they score. One exception to this… when there is eventually a throwback night at SAP, I will NEED "Get Ready For This" by 2 Unlimited played as the team comes onto the ice, wearing their 1991 sweaters. Anybody remember that?
- Here are the important countdowns you need to know:
My first time to the Shark Tank with my brother and a young SJ Sharkie. |
(10) Days to Christmas
(37) Days to Metallica Night at SAP Center
(68) Days to the Stadium Series game
- Voila, the Sharks are finally on a roll as they have won six of the last seven games they have played, including five straight at home.
- We are starting to see an identity surround this Sharks team now that they have endured the toughest start to a season in NHL history from a travel standpoint and now have had time to get some rest, practices in and play some home games.
- That said, the schedule is much lighter from a travel schedule in the coming weeks but the competition will be very tough. In the next 12 games the Sharks play six at home, St Louis three times, Anaheim twice, Nashville, LA, Vancouver, Minnesota and the NY Rangers.
- Joe Thornton had two assists vs Minnesota on Thursday night giving him 1,220 points for his career and moving him into sole possession of 39th on the all-time points list in NHL history. Who did he pass? The great Jean Beliveau who passed away last week. #Gulp
- I am looking forward to seeing the Nashville Predators at SAP Center on Saturday night. They are one of the surprises of the season and currently sit in 2nd place in the very tough Central Division with 40 points. Bring on rookie sensation Felip Forsberg and of course Pekke Rinne, one of the best goalies in the world when he is healthy.
- The Central Division is the toughest division in hockey right now. For instance, two teams that made the playoffs last year, Colorado and Dallas, currently sit in 6th and 7th place respectively.
- The LA Kings are just hovering in the middle of pack … again. Hey LA, you aren't fooling anyone anymore, we all still consider you the team to beat come April.
- What a week: Barclay Goodrow scored his 1st NHL goal and Melker Karlsson got an assist on the goal in his 1st NHL game. Congrats boys!
- In the game against Minnesota the Sharks dressed 10 players who were under the age of 25 so the youth movement is in place and from early indications looks very promising.
- The Wild were held to 19 shots, their lowest total of the year and 13 shots lower than their season average. It was only the 4th time this season (in 27 games) the Wild had been outshot in a game.
- Patty Marleau looked like Joe Thornton this week with some of the passes he made that set up Sharks goals. It's no coincidence that the Sharks were winning games at the same time Marleau had nine points during a six-game point streak.
- Congrats to Alex Stalock on his win against the Wild. The St. Paul, MN, native had lots of family and friends watching back home as he beat the team he grew up watching with a stellar performance.
- The Sharks unveiled the jersey they will wear for the Stadium Series game on February 21 against LA. My take, I'm warming up to it. I am also keeping in mind the numbers on the back and shoulders need to be visible so fans attending the game can see who is who. These are special jersey's for a special game and the more I gander at the front of the Sharks jersey the more I like it.
If the NHL amateur draft lottery were held today the Edmonton Oilers would be the #1 seed and the favorite to pick #1 overall, again. Due to their stretch of 8 straight non-playoff seasons, the Oilers have had quite a run at the draft table. From 2010 to 2012 they selected first overall each year taking LW Taylor Hall, C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and RW Nail Yakupov. Unless things improve appreciably this season there's a good chance they'll end up with the opportunity to draft either Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel, both of whom are being described by the hockey scouting community as "generational players".
It's tough to argue with the Oilers picks when they've selected first overall. It's what they've done beyond the first round in their drafting that is under the microscope now. When they skated onto the ice against the Sharks this week the Oilers had only one player on their roster that they drafted outside of the first round. That's a problem. The success of a good team certainly starts with solid first round picks but it doesn't end there. Depth comes from the middle and later rounds. The Sharks have had some very good first round picks over the years that are on the current roster. Patrick Marleau, Scott Hannan, Logan Couture, Tomas Hertl and Mirco Mueller were all taken in the first round. But the organization has filled the rest of the team with excellent players from much deeper in the draft. Joe Pavelski and Justin Braun were both taken in the 7th round. Tommy Wingels went in the 6th. Goaltender Alex Stalock was a 4th rounder. Matt Nieto and Marc-Eduard Vlasic came out of the 2nd round. That's an impressive group. It could be a core group for many franchises. A top scoring center/winger in Pavelski, a top defense pair in Vlasic and Braun, speed/skill in Nieto, physicality/heart/leadership from Wingels and a goalie (Stalock) with the potential to be a starter.
It all points to some solid scouting and drafting by the Sharks, a skill that a team like the Oilers will have to be more successful at if they're to be a playoff team again.

Baker's Half Dozen
1. Tommy Wingels is really becoming an inspirational leader for the San Jose Sharks with his consistent north-south physical brand of hockey. And he's been wracking up the points lately too.
2. The Sharks still need to work on playing a full 60 minutes but the last two games have been impressive come from behind wins against the Flyers and Boston.
3. I think it is the responsibility of all players to do two of three things every game: win, lose, entertain! Considering they can't win and lose in a single game, they do have to try and make the game entertaining for the paying fans at the game and others watching or listening. That Boston game was a blast too
4. How do you make a hockey game entertaining? Easy really, a good dose of energy, passion, speed, compete and skill. Voila!
5. Joe Thornton's assist vs Boston was his 1,216th career point tying him with Jeremy Roenick and Larry Murphy for 40th all-time points in NHL history. Up next on the list is, hold your breath, Jean Beliveau who sits 39th all-time with 1,219 points.
6. I was at the Giants game when they lost to the Dodgers 17-0.
6.5 After that humbling loss I'm not sure any Giants fans were thinking about a third World Series title in five years. But that's exactly what happened which is another reminder why all sports enthusiasts and fans should be continue to be passionate but ENJOY THE JOURNEY and realize that a single game does not determine how a team may fare in the in the long run.
I'm feeling some angst in Sharks Territory these days. Fans are asking "what's wrong with the team?"
Granted the Sharks present record wouldn't have them in a playoff spot if the postseason started today, but they're not that far back.
And how many times over the past 10 straight years of playoff appearances by the team have we seen the Sharks shoot out of the gate straight to the top of the division standings in autumn only to see them come up short in the spring?
Adversity builds character. The Sharks are going through their share of adversity right now. The road heavy schedule in October and November was brutal. There have been several very disappointing nights so far. It's hard to understand how the team can be 0-5-1 collectively against Florida, Columbus and Buffalo. But this is a different team than last years. There are new players and the leadership dynamic is in transition. These things take time. It's difficult to be patient when you're used to seeing the Sharks cruising along through most of the season.
Are these Sharks good enough to make the playoffs come April ? I believe they are. Are these Sharks good enough to win a Stanley Cup? I have no idea. What I do know is that when a team goes through tough times together and has to fight and scrap for wins like the Sharks did on Tuesday night against Philadelphia, it's bound to unite them and instill a stronger spirit in the group. Those are character traits that ought to serve them well when the big games come next spring.
Think about how much money $49,000 is. Better yet - contemplate how much "good" it can accomplish.
That's an amount the Sharks Foundation raised... in one night, last week. It was a result of the 3rd annual "Sharks & Strikes" tournament at Bowlmor Lanes in San Jose.
Players, coaches, and broadcasters ventured outside our "comfort zones" in exhibiting bowling "skills" side by side with those who donated so generously.
"Somebody must have saw that, right?," Joe Pavelski said, after bowling a strike in front of our CSN camera.
Joe, like most of his teammates, were self-admittedly inexperienced on the lanes, as opposed to the ice.
"Bowling kind of intrigues me," Pavelski proclaimed. "It's a sport I never spent much time with. To see those guys [the pros] spin the ball, watching that, it's something I'd like to learn. How to spin that ball, and really get it to snap in there."
Others were a little less humble about their game, including Andrew Desjardins, who had (apparently) been reminding teammates of his (around) 240 score at last year's event.
"I think I'm pretty good for an average guy. I don't play very much, so I'm happy with my game," Desjardins told us.
But that's why we double-check with multiple sources...
Like what Tommy Wingels revealed about his fellow forward: "I know for a fact - his wife told me he plays in a couple leagues in the summer, back in Canada."
I could relate mostly to Marc-Edourard Vlasic's approach on bowling.
"I'm consistently above 100," said the defenseman. "But when it's going bad I just try different things."
Overall, "Sharks & Strikes" continues to be family-friendly, and a fan-favorite on the calendar every hockey season. If you want to meet the players up close, and see what they are really like away from the rink - I highly encourage you to participate next year, while benefitting the the Sharks Foundation.
By the way, I haven't forgot to include a review on my own bowling performance.
At one point, I asked Head Coach Todd McLellan to advise me, in picking up a spare.
"Yeah, you might not want to quit your day job," Todd said. "How's that for advice?"
Back in the late 80's I was invited to be part of an organization called Pro Hockey San Jose. The purpose of the group was to promote San Jose as a viable NHL expansion destination and to hopefully attract ownership. We succeeded in educating a lot of hockey people about the city and ultimately the Gund family became the owners of the Sharks franchise. It was an amazing experience with lots of twists and turns along the way. There were also a lot of people who helped us achieve our goals. One of those people was former NHL player, coach, General Manager and executive Pat Quinn who died this week at the age of 71.
Right around the time that Pro Hockey San Jose was making inroads with then San Jose Mayor Tom McEnery about the idea of the new Arena becoming the home of a hockey team, Pat Quinn was the President and General Manager of the Vancouver Canucks. Quinn reached out to our group and wanted to help in whatever way he and the Canucks could. And it made sense. It would benefit a West Coast franchise like the Canucks to have another team in their time zone. It would help their travel and it would perhaps even offer up another rivalry, which it ultimately did. Pat Quinn dispatched his then assistant GM Brian Burke to San Jose to meet with our group and eventually Mayor McEnery and his staff. Burke, under the instructions of Quinn, shared the Canucks business plan with McEnery and spent hours answering questions about how an NHL team works and how it might impact the downtown area. That information proved to be incredibly valuable to the mayor and the city council in their eventual decision to back the idea of a hockey team for San Jose.
With his passing, Pat Quinn will be remembered for many things. I'll always remember him for his interest in our idea's and the hand he had in making the dream of NHL hockey in San Jose a reality.
The quarter pole has been reached in the 2014-15 San Jose Sharks season, and it's been quite a ride so far. The team has endured a previously unprecedented start to the campaign, gone through some rough times, and has emerged in a relatively positive place. In other words, they have survived it!
With regard to the road-heavy schedule, a lot of people have been asking me, "Has anything like this ever happened before?" Well, the answer is yes and no, if you want to know the truth. For more details, let's consult the world famous Elias Sports Bureau, also lovingly known to us as the "Patrick Elias Sports Bureau" in most cities, or the "Elias Lindholm Sports Bureau" when we're in North Carolina.
A few things have happened so far that are unprecedented:
- For the first time in history, a team has played 16 of their first 21 games on the road. Yes, there have been seasons where a team has begun out of town due to construction on a building, such as when the New York Rangers began their year with 9 straight on the road in 2013-14. That deserves much attention, but don't forget that the Rangers played 12 of their first 21 on the road last season.
- To find another team that came close in recent years, look no further than the Sharks in 2009-10, when they played 9 of their first 12 away from home, and 13 of their first 21. That's a schedule that is comparable to what the Rangers had to endure last season.
- Last season, the Rangers went 3-6-0 in their first 9 road games, 10-11-0 in their first 21, and 6-6-0 in those first 12 road contests. The Sharks had a better record.
- But the old champions in this one area are the California Golden Seals, the team that played in Oakland for 9 years from 1967-76. In their final year in the Bay Area, the Seals played 14 of their first 21 on the road. To quote Krazy George, "Ooh-ooh!"
- The Sharks put together a 10-9-2 record in those 21 games, including an 8-6-2 record in their road schedule. By comparison, the Seals started their year at 7-12-2, including a 4-9-1 road record in that span.
All in all, Sharks Hockey held up reasonably well in those games, even with the valleys (at Florida, at Columbus, at Buffalo) that went along with the peaks (at Anaheim, at Tampa Bay, at Carolina).
Individually, San Jose got pretty solid goaltending from all three of their netminders. For the first time ever, three separate goaltenders recorded shutouts in their season debuts. Rookie Troy Grosenick, of course, had the most memorable performance, with a 45-save night at Carolina that turned out to be the most saves a Sharks goalie had ever made in a shutout, eclipsing Antti Niemi's record of 41 last year against the Rangers.
If you go back in history, Evgeni Nabokov, Nolan Schaefer, and Vesa Toskala each recorded shutouts in the 2005-06 season, and in 2002-03, Nabokov, Miikka Kiprusoff, and Vesa Toskala each recorded a shutout. However, neither instance occurred in the first 20 games of a season.
That state of affairs has only happened on two other occasions in NHL history, according to our friends at the "Patrick Elias Sports Bureau." In 2007-08, the Coyotes got shutouts from Alex Auld, Mikael Tellqvist, and Ilya Bryzgalov in the first 20 games. In 1998-99, Pittsburgh also accomplished the feat, courtesy of J-S Aubin, Tom Barraasso, and Peter Skudra. That's all, folks!
On defense, Brent Burns finds himself among the NHL leaders in scoring. Through his first 23 games, Burnzie had 7 goals and 12 assists, and his 71 shots on goal were right at the top of the list of men who patrol the blue line.
Rookie Mirco Mueller may have had the most humorous moment of the trip in the waning seconds of the first period in Carolina. With the last couple of seconds ticking down and Mueller with the puck behind the net, he turned his back to the play and had some eye contact with a group of fans in the first two rows of the building until the horn sounded. No one was anywhere near him, but a good laugh was had in the radio booth over that one.
Up front, Joe Thornton was the Sharks' best player on the road trip. He recorded a point or more in every game of the swing, and scored 4 goals and 4 assists.
You have to take the good with the bad, of course, and so along with the thrilling comeback in Dallas, the sensational team performance in Tampa, and the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious goaltending of Grosenick in Carolina, we also saw some disappointments in Columbus, Florida, and Buffalo.
Now, the Sharks are in the midst of a lengthy homestand. They've had some practice time. They've gotten some rest. They 're on to the next phase of the season.
We are likely to have many more unique experiences on the schedule this coming season, and the Sharks just have to keep on trucking. It's all about the journey, so let's enjoy it!
Quite often Joe Pavelksi is described as "so money." |
While he has been widely recognized in the last several years as being a key member of the Sharks - I'm still not sure Joe Pavelski has received enough credit for his contributions.
Thanks Mrs. Pavelksi - we really appreciate your son. |
There is no question - right now - we are witnessing #8 entering his prime.
"Little Joe"... "The Big Pavelski"... "Pokey"... the forward has plenty of nicknames, but the more accurate depicters are "productive" and "reliable".
Last season we witnessed Joe's offensive breakout: eclipsing the 40-goal mark for the first time in his career. He ended up with 41. And right now with 9 in the bank, Pavelski is on pace to finish this campaign in the mid 30's. His "worst" season was part of a "sophomore slump" - if you can even call 19 goals and 40 total points "struggling" - back in 2007-08.
But his value extends off the ice too. Inside the dressing room, Pavelski is known as one of the team's great characters. When the chips are down, he is honest, heartfelt, and accountable in his assertions. Certainly this was recognized in his appointment to being an Alternate Captain this season.
However - don't be fooled by the reserved nature and simple appearance - Joe is a chronic jokester. Actually he's a chirping machine, and let me tell you from experience, you can't get much past him. He is aware of basically all things, at all times. It's this kind of personality which all teams need, in order to keep things loose and fresh over the course of a grueling 82 game schedule.
What makes all of this even more impressive: Pavelski was a complete steal in the 2003 entry draft. The Sharks selected him in the 7th round with the 205th overall pick. You'd have to think back then, nobody truly knew what San Jose would be getting less than 10 seasons later at the NHL level.

.- A new faith-based board game created by a Spanish nun has become one of the most popular First Communion gifts in Spain this year.
Sister Maria Granados Molina created the new game, "The Joy of the Faith," which tests players' knowledge of Catholicism. The game's publisher said 2,000 copies have been made since the game went on sale a few months ago, and there are hopes to market it in the United States and Latin America.
Thirty-five year-old Sr. Molina was born in Granada and belongs to a Carmelite order in the city of Cuenca. She works as a catechist for the Diocese of Cuenca.
In an interview with CNA, Sr. Molina said she never imagined the game would become so popular. She made the first version of the game at home with her own printer and the help "of the sisters from my congregation in Cuenca."
"The Joy of the Faith" is intended to help players learn about Jesus and the experience of being a Christian. Players roll dice and answer questions about the Catholic faith to move along the spaces on the board. The game incorporates drawings, gestures and prayers.
Sr. Molina debuted the game in Madrid last year during a conference on catechesis. It was picked up by a national distributor and made available later throughout the country.
"The game is the fruit of a desire, a concern and a prayer…and I think it has received a surprising reception. Nobody thought that with the way Spain is right now that a game like this would be a success," she said.
The game is based on the children's catechetical book "Jesus is Lord," which was approved by the Bishops' Conference of Spain. It is intended for children ages 7 and up, and it can be played by groups of young people, families, schools and catechists.
"I wanted people to draw closer to the experience of Jesus," Sr. Molina said.

Halle Berry Opens Up About Custody Battle For Nahla
Halle Berry opened up about her custody battle with ex Gabriel Aubry in a recent interview with Extra.
Via PopEater: "It's been a year full of challenges. When there's a child involved, it's a relief when you can resolve things in a good way," Berry said. "Our issues were never about fighting for her. We both know a child needs both her parents."
She continued, "But what I want to say about it is sometimes, as a couple, you reach an impasse. We need a court and a judge to help us work out some of the delicate issues, and I'm so happy we've arrived at that place -- because for her sake, this is the best way. We both love her more than life."
When Berry recently pulled out of her Broadway debut in the production of Mountaintop, the producers attributed it to her "custody issues."
But PEOPLE is reporting that a source close to the actress has revealed that the information is incorrect. "She didn't pull out of the play because of custody issues. She had a conflict of work," a source said. "Halle was never going for full custody. That wasn't what it was about. Whatever the outcome, she wasn't trying for that. There were just other issues that they couldn't resolve and therefore the courts had to intervene."

Saving the planet was never going to be easy. Avoiding the most catastrophic effects of climate changes will require cutting carbon emissions by 50 to 80 percent over the next four decades, scientists say. After years of deadlock, 2009 was shaping up to be the year the world got its environmental act together. Now it's looking like the global environment may be one of the biggest losers in the current financial crisis.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The voice said to me, "Son of man, eat what I am giving you -- eat this scroll! Then go and give its message to the people of Israel." | 1 And he said to me, "Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the house of Israel." |
2 So I opened my mouth, and he fed me the scroll. | 2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat. |
3 "Eat it all," he said. And when I ate it, it tasted as sweet as honey. | 3 Then he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth. |
4 Then he said, "Son of man, go to the people of Israel with my messages. | 4 He then said to me: "Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak my words to them. |
5 I am not sending you to some foreign people whose language you cannot understand. | 5 You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and difficult language, but to the house of Israel-- |
6 No, I am not sending you to people with strange and difficult speech. If I did, they would listen! | 6 not to many peoples of obscure speech and difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you. |

English makes it easy to refer to a whole group of things as if it were a substantial entity in its own right, whether or not it really is. It then allows us to assign such things as motives, plans, and behavior to that merely notional entity. Thus, e.g., "Baseball been very very good to me;" "The Wehrmacht has taken Paris;" "Godless Communism killed 100 million."[1]
It's handy. But difficulty can ensue when we take our shorthand references to such groups as if they indicated something concretely real. The game of baseball can't do anything, nor can the Wehrmacht, or Communism. Clemente was treated well by actual people involved in baseball, Paris was taken by German soldiers, and the victims of the Communist holocaust were destroyed by real men and women. It's a category error to blame or credit merely notional entities. AN Whitehead called it the Fallacy of Misplaced Concreteness. It arises when we treat ideas as if they were actual and concrete. Concrete entities do all inherit ideas from their past, embody them, and propose them to the future. But without a concrete entity to do the inheriting, embodying, and proposing, nothing happens with the ideas. Ideas don't have themselves.
Ideas are indeed causes, to be sure; the final, formal and material causes of events are all ideas, in the final analysis. But the inputs to an event are not yet the event. Only agents can respond to the ideas that are their factors. It behooves us then to remember to assign responsibility to natural persons, rather than to movements or schools, to philosophies or merely legal persons.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lasagna!
Facts about Lasagna
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Lasagna's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
I am a very mellow girl but I like getting attention. I would do better in a house with adults. I get along with other cats fine but I dont know any dogs so I am unsure of them. I will make a wonderful addition to your family if you give me time to get to know you.
Other Pets at Animal Hospital of Richboro
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lasagna, a Richboro Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Richboro, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Richboro.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richboro already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richboro breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richboro paves the way for another one to be saved.

With the sun in my eyes and my gun on my hip
from Chance The Rapper (Ft. Lili K. & Nate Fox) – Pusha Man/Paranoia Lyrics on Genius
Clever line. The sun is blinding him to his surroundings, another reason to carry a gun, but it also blinds the "pusha man" himself so he may carry a gun in vain or paranoia.
"Sun in my eyes" could also be from getting high off weed which leaves his eyes red (hot).

Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., today said the strategy submitted to the White House by the top American commander in Afghanistan "reaches too far, too fast" and called for a more narrow, modest mission that he says will eventually enable the U.S. to draw down its military presence there.
"I believe that, if we redefine our strategy and objectives in order to focus on what is achievable, as well as critical, and empower the Afghans to take control of their own future, we will give all of us the best chance to succeed," he said.
Gen. Stanley McChrystal last month submitted a strategy to the Obama administration that calls for a counter-insurgency strategy and requests tens of thousands of additional troops to carry it out. Kerry said he could support a modest increase in troops in the short term, saying, "Under the right circumstances, if we could be confident that military efforts can be sustained and built on, then I would support the president, should he decide to send some additional troops to regain the initiative."
Speaking before the Council on Foreign Relations today, Kerry called for a sustained civilian commitment to Afghanistan, but said the authority must soon shift to Afghan governance and security institutions.
"The nature of our commitment has to evolve away from U.S. military-dominated effort toward support for Afghan institutions and Afghan answers," Kerry said.
"We need to ask ourselves at every turn, will what we do, will this help the Afghan people take responsibility for their country? And if the answer is no, we probably shouldn't be doing it," he added.
Kerry's remarks come one week after he helped secure Afghan President Hamid Karzai's support for a new election after a watchdog group concluded that thousands of votes he received in the August ballot were fraudulent. Kerry was in the country on a fact-finding trip, but stayed on to help broker the agreement between Karzai and his main challenger, Abdullah Abdullah.
Kerry defended President Obama's deliberations over whether to send additional troops to Afghanistan and lashed out against critics, including former Vice President Dick Cheney, who says the administration is taking too long.
"After eight years of neglecting Afghanistan as vice president, Dick Cheney has now come out of retirement to criticize President Obama for taking time to examine assumptions before sending troops into war, this from the man who, in 2002, told America, quote, "The Taliban regime is out of business permanently." I think this is one time I wish Dick Cheney had been right, but tragically, he wasn't and he isn't today," Kerry said.
He also spoke out against the political debate over a troop increase, saying it over-simplified a complex situation.
"In recent weeks, politics has reduced an extraordinarily complex country, an extraordinarily complex region, and a difficult mission to a simple, headline-ready yes-or-no on troop numbers. That debate is completely at odds with reality," Kerry said.
Kerry advocated dialing back U.S. goals in Afghanistan as they had been previously defined, saying "we don't have to control every hamlet and village."

Well said.
Coldblue commented on the blog post Reid Devising Senate Rules Reform
I wonder why they think that Republicans haven't considered abolishing the filibuster rules outright the moment they get into power, but OK.
It's because all a minority party need to do is never agree to unanimous consent. Every bill brought to the floor would need to be read; every action would require a roll call vote, and so on.
Why do you think Frist didn't pull the trigger on the 'nuclear option' when the GOP had the majority in 2005?
Coldblue commented on the blog post Austerity Grand Bargain Feared Between Republicans, White House
This is just one more reason that reforming the Senate cloture requirement to a simple majority would be poison. Any four of the Democrats in Warner's group could break ranks and join the Republicans in advancing cuts to social safety net programs.

The filibuster does indeed shape legislation by denying it becoming law. It has nothing to do with providing cover for moderate congresspeople.

Many of the ConservaDem senators will agree with some of the legislation. Count [...]
Coldblue commented on the diary post End the Filibuster Campaign (Part 1) by amghru.
I could not disagree with your position more. First, you make a huge assumption that the Democratic caucus is unified.

Second, you are making an [...]

GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Jesus used this illustration with his disciples to show them that they need to pray all the time and never give up. | 1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. |
2 He said, "In a city there was a judge who didn't fear God or respect people. | 2 He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. |
3 In that city there was also a widow who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me justice.' | 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.' |
4 "For a while the judge refused to do anything. But then he thought, 'This widow really annoys me. Although I don't fear God or respect people, | 4 "For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, |
5 I'll have to give her justice. Otherwise, she'll keep coming to me until she wears me out.'" | 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' " |
6 The Lord added, "Pay attention to what the dishonest judge thought. | 6 And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. |
7 Won't God give his chosen people justice when they cry out to him for help day and night? Is he slow to help them? | 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off ? |
8 I can guarantee that he will give them justice quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" | 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" |
9 Jesus also used this illustration with some who were sure that God approved of them while they looked down on everyone else. | 9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: |
10 He said, "Two men went into the temple courtyard to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. | 10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. |
11 The Pharisee stood up and prayed, 'God, I thank you that I'm not like other people! I'm not a robber or a dishonest person. I haven't committed adultery. I'm not even like this tax collector. | 11 The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men--robbers, evildoers, adulterers--or even like this tax collector. |
12 I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my entire income.' | 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.' |
13 "But the tax collector was standing at a distance. He wouldn't even look up to heaven. Instead, he became very upset, and he said, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' | 13 "But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' |
14 "I can guarantee that this tax collector went home with God's approval, but the Pharisee didn't. Everyone who honors himself will be humbled, but the person who humbles himself will be honored." | 14 "I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." |
15 Some people brought infants to Jesus to have him hold them. When the disciples saw this, they told the people not to do that. | 15 People were also bringing babies to Jesus to have him touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. |
16 But Jesus called the infants to him and said, "Don't stop the children from coming to me! Children like these are part of the kingdom of God. | 16 But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. |
17 I can guarantee this truth: Whoever doesn't receive the kingdom of God as a little child receives it will never enter it." | 17 I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." |
18 An official asked Jesus, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" | 18 A certain ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" |
19 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God. | 19 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone. |
20 You know the commandments: Never commit adultery. Never murder. Never steal. Never give false testimony. Honor your father and your mother." | 20 You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.' " |

29 Jesus said to them, "I can guarantee this truth: Anyone who gave up his home, wife, brothers, parents, or children because of the kingdom of God | 29 "I tell you the truth," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God |
30 will certainly receive many times as much in this life and will receive eternal life in the world to come." | 30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life." |
31 Jesus took the twelve apostles aside and said to them, "We're going to Jerusalem.

Does anyone has an exploded view of this (or equivalent) winch that shows where a cotter pin should be placed?
Thank you for any help on this issue. BTW, I even forgot I was going sailing.
My guess would be that the force of the pin jamming has either bent something else or thrown something out of whack.
All the old Barient stock of parts was pucrhased by Arco - Australian Winch Company when Barient closed down. Allan Hutton at Arco will be able to email you the necessary docs (if you ask nicely) and if they are still available suppy you with any necessary parts.
Arco have a weird reputation. Sometimes I hear reports that they can take forever to react to a request but my dealings with them have always been super positive.

Jesus Wept, Clive Barker Is Writing the 'Hellraiser' Remake
Movie News By Rob Hunter on October 25, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhen Clive Barker unleashed his directorial debut into the world in 1987 it was unlike most anything else in the horror genre. Based on his own novella, "The Hellbound Heart," Hellraiser mixed murder, demons, S&M, infidelity, and some incestuous shenanigans for good measure. The film didn't exactly blow up the box-office, but the character of Pinhead (Doug Bradley) found a success all his own turning him into a franchise star. This was especially impressive as he only had a few minutes of screen time in the first film. There have been eight sequels so far, most of them direct to DVD (and most of them pretty terrible), but talk of a big screen reboot has been in the air for years. Possible writers and directors have come and gone over the years including the various talents behind Inside, Martyrs, The Collector, and My Bloody Valentine 3D, until the idea seemed to die a quiet death. But now there seems to be good news on the horizon. According to Barker's Facebook page (h/t Fangoria), he recently had a meeting with Bob Weinstein of Dimension Pictures where he pitched a remake of his own, and now he's been officially hired to write the screenplay.
Netflix Puts Its Foot on the Throats of Its Competitors With Exclusive Weinstein Company Deal
Movie News By Nathan Adams on August 20, 2013 | Comments (1)Netflix has just fired a pretty big shot in the ongoing war to control all content. Recently we've seen them and their streaming competitors—chiefly Amazon's Prime service—waging a fierce battle to round up streaming rights to all of the studio content that they can their hands on. The competition has gotten so fierce, in fact, that both companies have started producing their own exclusive content as a way to offset the bad feelings sent their way by upset customers who don't understand what happens when an entire studio's offerings suddenly drop off of a service in order to go exclusive with someone else. Anyway, the new news, which comes from an announcement by Netflix, is that they've signed a new agreement with The Weinstein Company to have exclusive pay television rights to all of their content starting in 2016. This extends a deal that the two companies made to give Netflix exclusive access to a limited list of Weinstein content back in February of 2012, and is very similar to an exclusive deal Netflix signed with Disney in December 2012, which will see the streaming service also becoming the exclusive home of Disney content starting in 2016.
Will The Weinstein's 'Piranha 3DD' Day-and-Date Gamble Pay Off?
Movie News By Scott Beggs on May 31, 2012 | Comments (2)Piranha 3DD is the first 3D movie to have a day-and-date release – that is, a release to VOD and Facebook on the same day it hits theaters. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the bloody-watered buoyant-breasted horror comedy will be available VOD for 7 bucks (in standard and high def) and 8 bucks for 3D on the major platforms. It will also be featured on Facebook. The Weinstein Company's Dimension Films and Starz Digital Media are handling the distribution online, and Starz VP Mara Winokur is enthusiastic about the safety net involved, citing that it will be a success even if no one watches on Facebook. "The cost was low enough that if there are no views, but people saw the promotion and went to theaters or got it on DVD or elsewhere, it will be successful. It is a great marketing spend in itself. It is a holistic experiment," she said.
'Sin City' Sequel is Finally Official, 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' Starts Production This Summer
In Development By Nathan Adams on April 12, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIt seems like Robert Rodriguez has been promising us a sequel to Sin City since the day after the original came out in 2005. His adaptation of Frank Miller's gritty, stylish world was unique among comic book movies at the time in how closely it stuck to being a panel-to-panel adaptation of the original graphic novels (even going as far as to bring Miller on as a co-director), and though it contained a bit too much shoddy Robert Rodriguez cheesiness, it also had enough unabashed cool that it blew the hair of comic book fans back all over the world. News of the sequel becoming official has been long-awaited. And today is the day we've all been waiting for. According to a press release put out by Dimension Films, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is finally on its way with both Rodriguez and Miller back in the director's chair(s) as the main creative forces. Alexander Rodnyansky and his AR Films are the ones fronting the dough, so the film will be a co-production between his company and Rodriguez's own Quick Draw Productions, with Dimension handling the distribution. And, of course, Harvey and Bob Weinstein have managed to get their names attached as executive producers.
'Alvin and the Chipmunks' + Robots = 'Short Circuit' Reboot
Movie News By Scott Beggs on February 3, 2012 | Comments (1)According to The Hollywood Reporter, newcomer Matthew Lieberman has been signed to write the Short Circuit reboot going on over at Dimension Films. He'd previously written the not-at-all-liked Dr. Doolittle: Tail to the Chief which went straight to video on the coattails of the Eddie Murphy movies, but this project is an interesting way to get a foot in the door of the feature world. What's more important is that Tim Hill is set to be the director. Hill's recent work includes Alvin and the Chipmunks, Hop and Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (apparently everyone involved loves "tail" puns). All of that sounds awful, but once upon a time, Hill also directed Muppets From Space. How someone got from weird and wonderful to boringly broad and homogenous is anyone's guess. Forget it, fans. It's Chinatown. That's sad, but the most fascinating thing about bring back Johnny Five to life is that instead of appealing to a movie geek crowd, the production is attempting to take a character from a strange little 80s movie that's been reduced to a catch phrase and make him a children's entertainment icon. To do that, Hill and company will be able to sidestep the treacherous balance between old fans and new by completely disregarding old fans. Of course, the bigger question will be whether a robot movie like this will fly in a time where actual robots are running our lives for us. Will Johnny look like an Erector Set that talks or will […]
'Piranha 3DD' and 'The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes' Get Pushed Back to Purgatory
Movie News By Nathan Adams on October 17, 2011 | Comments (1)The bad news for fans of horror just keeps piling up. Currently we're dealing with an October that is painfully devoid of new horror releases in the theaters, and now a couple of movies that were supposed to be coming our way in the upcoming months are getting pushed back. Piranha 3DD was supposed to hit theaters on November 23rd and The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes was originally set to be released on January 27th, but they're now both relegated to the vague release dates of "sometime in 2012." Both films are Dimension releases, so perhaps the reason for the pushback is some juggling on the corporate level, but I think we've all been following movies long enough to suss out what this probably means; it probably means they suck. The original Piranha 3D was great fun, but instead of bringing back the creative team from that film, Dimension instead got the hacks that collaborated on the terrible (in my opinion, argue if you disagree, I know there are some of you out there) Feast to handle this sequel. And the new Amityville movie, it's supposed to be one of those found footage films. Anybody remember how boring Apollo 18 was? Yeah, I'm trying to forget too. I'd have to say that all signs are pointing to both of these movies turning out pretty bad. I mean, Amityville was already set to be put out in the film release wasteland of January, and now they're not even comfortable putting […]
Review: 'Apollo 18′ Fails to Find the Fun
Movie Reviews By Robert Levin on September 4, 2011 | Comments (7)Dimension Films' secretive Apollo 18, which arrives in theaters this weekend as something of an under-hyped mystery, is another of those mockumentaries that employs the found-footage formula introduced by The Blair Witch Project and incorporated to popular effect in the Paranormal Activity franchise. The notion of said footage revealing a secret, disastrous moon mission is a promising one, full of potential. Unfortunately, director Gonzalo López-Gallego bungles that intriguing concept in astonishing form, turning it into a muddled, mind-numbing mess.
Dimension Films is announcing today that they've acquired French horror film Livid from directors Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo. The pair made their feature debut with the appropriately strange film Inside, but this new project looks to be a completely different beast altogether. According to the press release, Livid is a "horror fariytale set during Halloween night when three youths decide to burglarize an old lady's desolate house, but what awaits them is no ordinary house…" It's the ellipses that frighten me the most. Maury and Bustillo showed some genuine promise with their first film, and it even landed them a writing/directing gig for a remake of Hellraiser that never came to be. Here, they are working again with Inside star Béatrice Dalle, and the concept seems simple but effective. Hopefully the old lady has rigged paint cans on the staircase and broken Christmas tree ornaments on the living room floor. No word yet on how long the Weinsteins will keep this on the shelf before pushing back its release date.
Dimension Films Will Show Us 'How to Defeat Your Own Clone'
Movie News By Nathan Adams on July 5, 2011 | Be the First To CommentI've read some excerpts from Max Brooks' famous The Zombie Survival Guide, which is an informational text designed to help its reader survive a zombie apocalypse, but until now I never knew that there was also a guide that lets you know how to defeat your clone when he inevitably rises up and decides to overthrow you. Thankfully, Kyle Kurpinski and Terry D. Johnson's book "How to Defeat Your Own Clone" is just that. Knowing how to survive zombies is nice, just in case; but knowing how to defeat your own clone is going to be essential. Cloning technology is developing at a fast clip, and I'm certain that any clone of mine would be a real asshole. Thankfully, Kurpinski and Johnson are no longer alone in their efforts, as Dimension Films has joined them in educating the public. Dimension has acquired the rights to the book and they've set Ed Ricourt to the task of adapting it into a screenplay. How do you turn a how-to manual into a narrative story? I'm not sure, but hopefully Ricourt knows. For what it's worth, here's how Dimension has described their vision for the film via press release…
Smell-O-Vision is Back, and Robert Rodriguez is to Blame
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 24, 2011 | Comments (2)Not content with three fake dimensions, Dimension Films (seriously) is going to release Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World with one more facet: the sense of smell. Smell-o-Vision was an abject failure as a movie fad – only appearing in the 1960 movie Scent of Mystery after its development by Hans Laube. The idea was that it could add to the film-watching experience by allowing an audience to smell what was happening on screen. Although there were competing technologies like AromaRama, the concept was one that never worked in a real theater setting (because scents don't just go away instantly when you need them to, and the room ends up smelling like burnt roses buried in cigarettes and maple syrup). Learning from the overkill of Scent of Mystery's 30 smells, Sky Kids 4 will only have 8 points during the film where the audience can smell what's happening on screen. Plus, instead of a puff of air, the movie's "Aromascope" will achieve the effect by use of a rub-and-sniff card with corresponding numbers. That method was used with John Waters's re-release of Polyester in 1982 (although he called it Odorama), and it worked well, but it's all still a huge gimmick. And before you think it's the studio that's forcing it on the helpless artiste Robert Rodriguez, here's his near-robotic statement included in the press release: "Families are going to love the interactivity of this new addition to the movie going experience. And best of all, you […]
Dimension Films Will Release Geriatric Horror Flick 'The Home'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 5, 2011 | Be the First To CommentLike most films, The Home has had a rocky road to getting made, but it looks like the sailing through Cthulu-infested waters will be smoother now that Dimension Films has agreed to release the film. As reported before, the film puts Ed Asner, Cloris Leachman, Brian Cox, Fionnula Flanagan, Louise Fletcher and Louis Gossett, Jr (and whatever young leads are announced) into an old folks home and tortures them with KNB-designed practical monsters until their screams and uneaten no-sugar-added apple sauce cups are used for the building's fuel. Calls to filmmaker Kristoffer Aaron Morgan went unanswered, which I'll assume means, "we want to have the film done by Fantastic Fest." Morgan most recently had his short, yet hilariously nutritious, take on zombies hit said fest as one of the infamous bumpers. You can watch it after the jump.
'An American Werewolf' Goes To The Weinstein Company
In Development By Rob Hunter on June 30, 2009 | Comments (8)John Landis has sold remake rights for An American Werewolf In London to the Weinsteins. The worst decision he's ever made (that didn't involve helicopters).
We ignored covering this for a little bit hoping it was a mistake, but apparently the honchos over at Dimension Films have had a short circuit of their own and are going ahead with a remake of the endlessly entertaining and oft quotable Steve Guttenberg masterpiece that is Short Circuit.

In lifting a ban against Gardner High School, the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association has made its points — without running up the score. The school's winter athletic teams had been barred from postseason competition, after Gardner Mayor Mark Hawke failed to return a trophy won by the swim team last year. The team broke an eligibility rule. The trophy was finally returned on Jan. 17. MIAA's reversal follows receipt of a letter of apology from Mr. Hawke and Superintendent Carol Daring. MIAA Executive Director Richard F. Neal wrote that the sanction was "reluctantly" removed, in recognition of the MIAA's core mission of promoting "educational athletic opportunities within our member schools …." That "reluctantly" seems petulant, but we are pleased the matter is resolved. There is fault to go around, but the adults should shoulder and learn from the mistakes, not the athletes.

COLUMBIA, Mo. - As the first half of the MLB season comes to a close, several Tigers find themselves on big-league rosters. One former Tiger finds himself in the running for several accolades and was perfect in the All-Star Game. As the second half starts and contenders separate themselves from pretenders, several Tigers look to make themselves into household names. Here's how your former Tigers are doing in The Show:
Aaron Crow - RP - Kansas City Royals
>Aaron Crow is getting hot going into the second half. In the 10 games leading up to the break, Crow went 3-1 and posted a 2.16 ERA in 8.1 innings. He struck out nine while walking three and he gave up just two earned runs. Crow finished the first half with a 6-3 record and a 3.38 ERA in 36 games.
Kyle Gibson - SP - Minnesota Twins
Leading up to the All-Star break,>Kyle Gibson made only one start since our last update. He collected the win despite throwing 5.0 innings and giving up two earned runs. Gibson struggled with his control, giving up five hits and walking four to just one strikeout. Gibson is a major component of the Twins' rebuilding effort so look for him to continue to get opportunities at the big league level.
Ian Kinsler - 2B - Texas Rangers
After suffering an injury to his rib cage,>Ian Kinsler has been a steady presence in the Rangers lineup. Kinsler finished the first half with a .281 batting average and a .359 on-base percentage. Kinsler also had 23 extra base hits, including nine home runs, and scored 40 runs. Kinsler has been a dependable player for the Rangers and a strong second half from him will help keep them in the AL West race.
Max Scherzer - SP - Detroit Tigers
>Max Scherzer was the perfect candidate to start the All-Star Game for the AL, throwing 1.0 inning and striking out former National League MVP Joey Votto during a perfect frame. Scherzer was absolutely dominant and nearly perfect in the first half, going 13-1 in 19 starts - his first loss came in his last start against the Texas Rangers - and posting a 3.19 ERA in 129.2 innings. Scherzer also has 152 strikeouts to 31 walks on the season. If he can continue his dominance in the second half, then Scherzer is a prime candidate to win the AL Cy Young. Scherzer is also a key cog for their second half push to the playoffs.
Nick Tepesch - SP - Texas Rangers
>Nick Tepesch is currently on the 15-day DL (retroactive to July 7) with right elbow inflammation. He is expected to return after the All-Star break. Tepesch has posted a strong rookie campaign, starting 16 games and throwing 85.1 innings while posting a 4.85 ERA. Tepesch also has 70 strikeouts to just 23 walks. Going into the season, Tepesch never thought he would be starting in the bigs this year. Now, Tepesch finds himself as an important piece to the Rangers' playoff push.
