Game 128: Nats at Marlins
Aug 28, 2012, 7:50 PM EDT
US Presswire file photo
Stephen Strasburg tries to snap the Nats' losing streak tonight at Marlins Park.
The Nationals have done a remarkable job all season overcoming injuries to key players, but let's be honest: They really missed Michael Morse and Ian Desmond while getting swept in Philadelphia over the weekend. The return of both players to the lineup for tonight's two-game series opener in Miami can only be viewed as a positive thing.
Morse (bruised hand) and Desmond (mild hamstring strain) will be hitting fifth and sixth, respectively, in manager Davey Johnson's lineup. That bumps Jayson Werth and his .391 on-base percentage back up to the leadoff spot, giving the Nationals as potent a lineup as they're going to field at this point in the season.
They've also got the man they want on the mound when they're trying to snap a losing streak: Stephen Strasburg. Not only is the right-hander 3-0 without giving up a run against the Marlins this season, he's also 4-0 with a 1.44 ERA when starting with the Nationals on a losing streak of three games or more.
I'm not in Miami for this series, the last road trip I'm scheduled to miss for the remainder of the season. I will, however, be appearing live on CSN's SportsNet Central at 10 p.m. with analysis of tonight's game, so be sure to tune in for that. In the meantime, enjoy the game and the conversation here…

Wait, am I a homer, or a critic of the team? Really can't tell fromNatsfanjim or WODL's comments. But I see Jim has called me a troll, but also a homer. So personal are OK as long as they come from you, but no one else? Go take your truckload of bile somewhere else. As for Desmond, you are not there to see if he can run, stretch, etc. They would not keep him out of games if they thought he was healthy, because he is too important to the team. How can you argue otherwise, given this year's performance by Desi?
- mick - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:09 AM
Fear and Ignorance Did Verlander have TJ surgery? I was not aware?Strass is scheduled to be shut down which is what i totally support. my point was that the shutdown could be very helpful for Strass because I think he is tiring and he some immaturity is starting to show with him.your Verlander comparison confuses me, unless he had TJ surgery
- Swift Eagle - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:09 AM
OK, that's fair..The Nats have not looked as sharp mentally lately, and are playing bad baseball right now….but why is only "instructive" to show up during these losses to point this out? Isn't it also "instructive" to point out the approach that has resulted in the most wins in MLB?…To me, the true fan is able to see both good AND bad
- blovy8 - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:10 AM
More elbow room for me DJB. Nobody watching the excellent, winning club the Nats put out there will either. You try to win, but you have to look to tomorrow as well, or you don't win much.
- NatsFanJim - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:10 AM
Secret: and I am exactly like you!! Good for us — the true fans. Unfortunately, that's not the general fan base. And if you are a native, and have been following All of our teams for many years, you would know that is true.

Ehay: haha like an umpire, I can only call them the way I see them — maybe I miss a corner now and then, but not often. "Troll" is insulting? Then don't be one.
- William O. Douglas Loeffler - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:12 AM
The problem is that the Nats' as an organization want a healthy organization that has great players who win for years and years. They probably do not care all that much about winning a title, which, unless you are the Yankees, requires a lot of good fortune. So the Nats don't mind that much whether they win it all or not, as long as they get a result that makes the team more popular going forward.The fans and the players on this year's squad may feel differently.Outside of horse racing, someone please provide an example of a non-injured player who has ever skipped an entire post-season? Sandy Koufax skipped one start for the Jewish holidays, but I can't think of anyone who refused to play in the post-season in order to lengthen his career. Barry Bonds never won a World Series, nor did Ted Williams. Walter Johnson, Hank Aaron and Willie Mays won one each. There are no guarantees.
- mick - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:13 AM
Oh well, lets get em tomorrow night… think I will watch some of the JB Society Convention, lol, hee hee
- William O. Douglas Loeffler - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:14 AM
It is called risk aversion, Ebay2k. It is a fundamental concept in economics and life insurance and life in general. The whole Strasburg debate involves risk aversion and the notion that many think the Nats are overly risk averse, to the point where it diminishes their chances to win this year.
- NatsFanJim - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:16 AM
On a Bright Note:I have no worries. The Nats have been playing all year like every series was a Big one, another opportunity to Prove themselves.Well, we peaked against Atlanta last week. Facing the Phillies – 15 games out — became the first series the Nats seemed like they could not get up for.Now, it is up to Davey to teach them how to win and get up for games from the prospective of the Top Dog and not the underdog: two totally different approaches.Every loss and every win is Now squarely on Davey's shoulders. This is when he earns his money.I think he can do it, but proof is in the pudding. He hasn't done it yet.
- Swift Eagle - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:16 AM
Stras is not "refusing" to play…He is being shut down by his superiors based on the instructions of the doctor who performed the surgery…He is basically still on rehab from the surgery
- Nats Fan in Brazil - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:17 AM
For everyone frinking out, varlander just allowed 7 ruins in 2 in against The ROYALS….just saying

Don't worry Nats fans, H-Rod will be back on Sep. 1. He will turn things around.

Haha!! It's Roll Call time for the Legion of Doom
- William O. Douglas Loeffler - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:19 AM
I think I was on here after the big Milwaukee win and a couple of the Houston ones. I am simply more interested in analysis and pure "homers" tend not to provide a whole lot of that and posters tend not to be in much of a speculative mode after a big win.One interesting thing is that the Nats had the best run differential in baseball about ten days ago. It has since dropped like a stone and we are now 30 runs or so behind St. Louis.
- ehay2k - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:20 AM
Just as there are no guarantees that WITH Stras, the Nats will win or even make it to a WS. That's where the argument to not shut him down because of playoff and WS potential breaks down. Stras pitched tonight, but we didn't win. It's just too hard to speculate. But shutting him down cannot be shown to HURT his career, whereas over pitching has been shown to do harm. Remember, he spent little time in the minors.
- Swift Eagle - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:20 AM
Maybe it's time to sacrifice a live chicken in the clubhouse…or is it a rooster? I always forget
- Fear and Ignorance - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:21 AM
William 9:12-POTD. Rizzo fancies himself as an athletic director…he just wants to build a good program…he doesn't really care about winning it all. Just remember…when you see 10,000 people filing for the exits at Nats Park in the 8th inning…ehay2k is one of them. Some people just don't get it.
- NatsFanJim - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:21 AM
Swift: You Troll for Trolls — even imaginary ones.Rarely do you give insightful opinions — How about now? What will it take to pull the Nats out of this swoon?Go on the record, dude. Man up and put yourself on the line — for once this season.
- DJB - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:21 AM
Listen all you "true fans" can fill up that special 10% of Nats Park and cry when the Nationals leave town again and wonder why. The Senators left because they put out a poor product and people stopped going to games. You win when you can. Flags fly forever. You never accept the psychology of a losing team. And you never assume the future.
- NatsFanJim - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:23 AM
Prediction: Stras gets shut down tonight.That was his last start in a successful '12 season. Let's see if I'm not spot on.
- blovy8 - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:23 AM
By that logic, why aren't there still four man rotations and guys completing games with 150 pitches? After all, Strasburg is the best pitcher, he should keep pitching until he stops getting outs or gets hurt every game. He's better than anyone coming in from the bullpen. This is the game now, you protect your young pitchers. The Braves did it differently, but they also did it with Medlin.The reason they don't is he loses effectiveness over pitches, over starts, and needs to build up to normal workload. Add recovery from major surgery to that, and any however slight reinjury risk to that. The difference between a Detwiler start and a Strasburg start at this point in the season is what? The team needs to hit, and we'll see what happens. The other clubs have their own issues. I still say 94/95 wins at this point and a few games above the Braves.I mean, how much money do the Dodgers HAVE after all? Ha.
- Nats Fan in Brazil - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:23 AM
By The way, The los angeles all The money u can spent dogers, are losing 4 Nothing against colorado….just saying
- ehay2k - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:25 AM
DJB – how can you call one of the best tesms in baseball, let alone outpr division, a poor product? It's just a nonsensical comment.
- NatsFanJim - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:25 AM
DJB has a point. Although I feel Stras ought to get shut down — the best advice I have ever heard back in my coaching days was "Win the game your in; tomorrow will take care of himself." Valuable, priceless advice for a baseball team. Win today!!!
- William O. Douglas Loeffler - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:26 AM
It is not the Legion of Doom.Semantics about Strasburg–He is going to have to make a public statement or he will be viewed during his career as being soft. That's the way it is. "Rizzo wouldn't let me play" is not going to wash in public opinion if the Nats lose a close post-season series, especially, since I see no evidence that Strasburg actually is pushing the Nats to allow him to play.That doesn't make Strasburg a bad guy or anything. It might be the right decision although it will never be confirmed because it is not susceptible to proof.Strasburg is a man and I doubt that if he and his family were pushing hard for him to pitch that he would be shut down, especially given that he should/could have been yanked after the 2nd tonight, to preserve his arm. I have no idea why he was still out there throwing after the score was 5-0 but I hope to find out.
- Ondeck13 - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:26 AM
Nats Jack – do you think Stasburg's loss of command is due to fatigue like FP said?
- Swift Eagle - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:27 AM
"They're going to have to rip the ball out of my hand"That actually IS a Stephen Strasburg quote
- ehay2k - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:29 AM
F&I, I have been to more Nats games than you have commented on.
- JayB - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:31 AM
Yea Davey is right….they don't need a kick in the ass……not an bit of difference in their focus the past week…..only difference is bad luck and great pitchers like Ricky N and K Kendrick…..not…..They are doggin it and the Vets are showing zero leadership. No wonder Rizzo is hot.
- Fear and Ignorance - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:31 AM
Considering I have season tickets ehay2k…I doubt that is possible.
- NatsFanJim - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:32 AM
"They're going to have to rip the ball out of my hand …" Who is he kidding? The guy with composure issues: the heat bothers him, humidity bothers him, errors bother him, hits bother him, umpires bother him.Sorry, Stras. You haven't earned the right to talk like a bad ass — not yet.
- ehay2k - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:32 AM
F&I, no one as negative as you would buy season tickets. Maybe buy one ticket from a season ticket holder, but not a full plan.
- blovy8 - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:33 AM
You root for the team you have, not the one you wish you had. Should SF fans stop watching the team now that their best player is suspended? They could still win that division despite A-Gon being added to the LA club, and even a mediocre Beckett will probably help them. Same thing in Cincy, what if they lose their lead to St Louis, does that make them chokers, or just a slightly worse team than the .600 club they are right now?
- NatsFanJim - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:33 AM
I think JAYB summed it up rather succinctly.
- ehay2k - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:34 AM
Natsfanjim- Stras pitched today, they did not win. Hard to make an argument to not shut him down because they MIGHT lose without him. Baseball is just not that predictable.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:34 AM
Tigers are only losing 7-6
- NatsFanJim - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:35 AM
Yep, this is an ideal time (night) to shut him down.
- William O. Douglas Loeffler - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:35 AM
I agree that the differences among the Nats pitchers is smaller than most people think. It often varies based upon whip, era, and era+ and fips. The damaging thing about Strasburg is the whole mentality of it. The Nats never intended to win this year and it has screwed up their plans and they really have not dealt with the situation well.Honestly, if he is not going to be on the squad for a post-season, it probably is better to get him out by Sept. 1 so that the 25 guys in the dug-out know who he is on-board for this year. There is the notion that he could pitch them into the play-offs in a big game in September but I see little evidence that Stephen would be better at that than Jordan or Gio or Edwin or Det. When Stephen is bad, he often is very bad it seems.
- rabbit34 - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:36 AM
Never make it to the finish line. Nope. But that's ok. Our year was supposed to be next year. This year is all gravy. We've got to GET SOME BATS!!! At least I didn't waste my time watching this game. 9-0 is it in the ninth??!! GET SOME BATS!!
- NatsFanJim - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:36 AM
If we think our slump is bad now, wait until the Cards get a hold of us.

- ehay2k - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:39 AM
F&I – I have had season tix since 06, and I park in the ballpark garage. If I ever leave a game early, it's because my kids have to get to bed. You think that's wrong of me? I'm OK with that.
- NatsFanJim - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:40 AM
Stras really needs to work on gettting rid of or adjusting that Reverse W delivery of his — he would last longer, throw faster, and gain far better control of his pitches.Everytime I see him pitch, I cringe watching his Uber Torque in his elbow when he Reverse W's. Uh? MCCatty, do you know anything?
- blovy8 - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:40 AM
A couple of good starts from our pitchers andn some timely hits against them, and the Cards will be wondering how the Nats could have lost five in a row.
- NatsFanJim - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:41 AM
Ehay and F&I: My pecker is bigger than your's. That's what you guys are doing. Silly. )especially when everyone knows, I have the biggest one)
- blovy8 - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:42 AM
Well, it might be the mechanics that make Strasburg so good, so unless he gets hurt AGAIN, I would not mess with it.
- NatsFanJim - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:43 AM
The ladies must be out and cruising the bars tonight
- Eugene in Oregon - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:44 AM
Ugly game; unfortunately some ugly comments to match; tomorrow's another day, another game; tonight, Go Padres.
- NatsFanJim - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:45 AM
blovy8: perhaps, but an arm like his is a gift from God — he could vastly improve his skill set.I wonder if he has the maturity to do that, though. His composure issues have really surprised me about him. Either he is immature or is a very quirky guy.
- ehay2k - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:47 AM
WODL, I agree with your post @9:35, where you question Stras' effectiveness. All the Nats SP's are pretty close, and can win games on any given day. And as you said, when SS is bad, he's pretty bad. I do not know how they could have changed they way they are handling it. If the decision was made at the beginning of the season, and they let SS pitch all year long as if he'd be shut down, what else could they do but stay the course? Besides, at this point, he may be proving them right.
- NatsNut - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:51 AM
They probably had too many days off in the last 10 days. It threw off their timing, momentum, whatever. They'll get it back. In the meantime, Davey, start throwing bats at the lollygaggers. Scare 'em.
- William O. Douglas Loeffler - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:51 AM
I see no evidence that Strasburg will ever get better as a pitcher in terms of arm strength. He has been fairly consistent, although last year was actually his best, brief as it was. He may still improve his fielding, cunning and composure, but basically any team would take 15-6 every year with a 3.00 ERA.
- NatsNut - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:53 AM
Also…just to balance out the doom and gloom…Hooray! Marlins didn't score in the 7th or 8th innings!
- blovy8 - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:55 AM
There's plenty of room for Strasburg to actually get better, the guy is pretty inexperienced. What he needs to do is learn to hold runners.
- DJB - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:56 AM
If we play like this, we're looking at a sweep by the Cardinals. Our season will be over, and, no, that is not acceptable. This year is not just "gravy." You win when you can, or you never win. We had the opportunity to get Pujols to provide lineup protection for Bryce, but we passed. Same with Fielder.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Aug 29, 2012 at 1:59 AM
We will the next 5, That is what I say.By the way I have been anti Eck at the beggining when they werem't hitting. I was anti Eck when they were hitting in July. And I am still anti Eck. That I ahve been since 2010 and continue to be.That being said. Losing is part of the game, scoring 6 runs in 5 games and leading in none of them because your starters having fiven up runs early 4 of the 5) is pathetic. That being said tomorrow is another day, and the least we will be in front is 4, but enough is enough.By the way the Quit-o-meter said 99,7% quuit tonight the last 4 innings. Michael Gonzales got the only passing grade.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:00 AM
Left out the word win.We will win the next 5….
- William O. Douglas Loeffler - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:01 AM
My issue with the Nats is that this needs to be a team decision in deference to the players. Will the Shark ever have another chance to win a title? How about La Roche? Jackson may not. I think the plan would have worked better if they had said what the plan was at the beginning of the season. By never fully spelling things out, the other players and fans are left out drifting in the wind.What I mean is, yes, they said they were shutting him down, but they never said (and have never said) when and under what circumstances. They could have said September 1 or they could have said 150 innings or they could have said 25 games or whatever. So once you state a plan that has no rules, you are basically making the other players scratch their heads and wonder what is going on.I still don't understand why he can't pitch ten innings of relief in the post-season. At least that way, he is still dialed in with his teammates. Oh that won't work because … Rhythm or something? Walter Johnson pitched in relief in the World Series. Nolan Ryan never pitched in the World Series except for relief.How is ten innings in the post-season going to blow up the man's arm? And I won't accept any answers that involve rhythm….
- NatsNut - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:05 AM
- William O. Douglas Loeffler - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:05 AM
So Babip applies to pitchers and not to hitters? Let's face it, the Nats were on a pace to win 101 games with the trend line only increasing. They were not quite that good in reality. They lack big bats and they lack an ability to "manufacture" runs, which is not going to develop this year because they have little or no speed.The 1975 Reds lost 6 games in a row, albeit in May, I think, but it can happen to anyone. Baseball and golf are humbling games.
- BigCat - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:10 AM
I fell asleep after the 3rd inning. I dreamed I was on 2nd base and Manassas Nats Fan was on first. We were in the bigs! The Show! Strasburg was pitching. We are both in our 50's. Im 15 pounds overweight, Nats Fan….oh…maybe 17 lbs. I glanced at him at first, I knew by his stare he was thinking the same thing. We were gonna steal! The count got to 2 and 0 on the hitter. Of course, Strasburg was not even looking at us. He didn't give one rats behind about us old farts. Well let me tell you, we exploded after Big Stra gave that final "no look." I felt like Ralph Garr as I barreled into third…safe!! But as every good catcher might do, he threw behind me, looking to get the slower…older Nats Fan. But Nats Fan had gotten a great jump also. Years ago he had told me his idol was Ed "Streak" Stroud and had learned a lot from him. I watched in amazement as Fan went like a locomotive into second with a late "pop up" slide that Davey Lopes and the whole 1970's Dodger organization would be proud of. The ball kicked loose and rolled into center field. I raced home….Nats Fan to third. I glanced at him at 3rd on my way back to the adoring dugout. He smiled. I glanced at Big Stra on the mound…..the urine stain on his pant leg grew wider and darker as I watched. I thought to myself "This can't be the big leagues, they hold runners on in the big leagues. I woke up with my wife shaking me, my Yankee book had fallen to the floor. In my stupor I glanced at the TV…..hmmmm….Marlins 9 Nats 0 Woulda been different if they'd of thrown Joe Coleman I thought. My dog nipped at my leg as I headed upstairs.
- blovy8 - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:14 AM
A Healthy Desmond steals 30 bases. An everyday Bernadina does too. Espy can steal if you don't pay attention. So can Werth and Harper.
- William O. Douglas Loeffler - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:18 AM
I hope so because we have seen so many games where just one run could be the difference…
- blovy8 - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:20 AM
Edwin Jackson won a ring with the Cardinals, who were a wildcard team without their best pitcher, Wainwright, all year. It's an odd game.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:20 AM
ED STROUD taught me how to steal bases. Freddy Valentine taught me how to field.
- blovy8 - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:23 AM
The point is the lineup would have a few guys who can steal, it's just not a high percentage play usually, and you have to get on base to do it, which they ain't lately.
- BigCat - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:26 AM
Ol Tastey Cake Fred. Who taught you to hit? Brant Alyea? Cap Peterson? Oh oh….please don't tell me Jim French
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:26 AM
Not a high percentage play? Against us it is 95% successful.
- William O. Douglas Loeffler - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:28 AM
The Cardinals are better this year than last year, without Pujols, Jackson and one of their top pitchers. The have the best run differential by far in baseball, but have lost most of their close games.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:34 AM
Jim French always won the cow milking contest. Genie Allen and Paul Casanova taught me to hit.RISP the past 5 games 7 for 40. That is a .175 average
- NatsLady - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:40 AM
Sale came out after 4. Sale (15-5) has been Chicago's most consistent pitcher this season, but he worked just four innings. He gave up four runs on six hits with five strikeouts and three walks… (The O's won 6-0). So is Sale hitting the "wall" or do we even know? He has already pitched more than double what he did last year.My observation is this: the leaders are tired and banged up; they have (mostly) played their regulars all year. The under .500 teams are calling up rookies–who, even if they might not be as talented or experienced as the leaders' regulars, are hungry and fresh. Think of Harper when he first came up–now he didn't hustle to make a base hit.Desi is hurt. He is only playing so he doesn't lose his batter's eye while he heals.
- BigCat - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:41 AM
What game you watching blov? Tonight Raymond Burr would of stole on us. Riz needs to go in and yell at McCatty. This is stuff you learn at the age of 13-14 when you transition to to the big field. Strasburg was a joke tonight. Its one thing to get hit. Its another just to just zone out and let evryone rip the bags out of the ground. Even Carlos Lee stole. In all seriousness, we should shut Stra down now. He has had a very good year. I would guess he is at about 80% He has no location….much like JZimm last year. He is 24 years old. The guy has a tremendous future. If we don't finish the year great….so what. And besides…Lannan has earned it
- NatsLady - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:53 AM
BigCat, agree (well, except about Lannan). The sense of "entitlement" here is amazing–to me. The guys busted their butts (and their bodies) to get the record they have, but whoever got entranced by the 99% chance of playoffs or 90% chance of winning the division has not watched baseball. It gets harder from here, not easier.

Nats Lady gets the eagle eye observation of the night for this: "Desi is hurt. He is only playing so he doesn't lose his batter's eye while he heals."Great point, and you're probably right. After 128 games (and 30 ST games), the wall is real. I think we'll be fine.In Davey We Trust.

In other news:Matt Skole has 101 RBIs in 113 games.Potomac outfielder Kevin Keyes, the 2010 seventh-round pick from U. of Texas, becomes the fifth player in the Nats' system with 20 home runs, joining Skole, Corey Brown, Steven Souza Jr. and Jason Martinson.Keyes' on base percentage is woeful, but he's got pop. He hit 17 homers last year at Hagerstown.

Not saying that Apple nor MS haven't had their issues as well, however it has not taken them a month+ to get those services running. Remember is was Linus himself that chose to start calling down others on their security mindedness with his "masturbating monkeys" comments a few years back. It looks like now and only after that they were compromised that security has once again become an issue that requires a bit more attention "then anything else".It's not like the stakes in a complete security audit are an unknown or something. It's an apples to oranges comparison if their scenario is anything but "someone with commit access to our operating system was social-engineered into compromised credentials and may have inserted malignant code", and in the first place neither Apple nor MS have a sterling record they can boast in contrast (and don't think they don't know it)
It could have been just as easy to get that information had such information been present.If they (any of them) somehow managed to...say, lose tens of millions of users' personal information (i.e. "Pull a Sony") I'd be all for laying into them, but that's not the scenario.
They could have just as easily addressed the immediate issue and kept going with the old system until the replacement was ready.Taking time and being careful while still developing the kernel? That earns my respect. From where I sit, their response was actually pretty on the ball, and it'll be relatively simple to turn git into the star of this show when it's all done.
It is more than just embarrassing. Also a lot of people said that there was no danger anyway since the linux kernel sources are managed via git. Yeah but these people obviously forgot that kernel.org was also hosting packages for at least Arch Linux.
It is like saying people would be hypocritical to be more concerned about a fire at huge apartment complex with hundreds of apartments than one at a single-family home. The potential impact of one is much greater than the other, even though both are bad.
Summary: deanjo is disappointed that there hasn't been a big backlash due to the lenghty downtime of linux.org. As a bsd proponent he has a dislike for Linux and perhaps more towards Linus due to a (admittedly shitty) remark where bsd developers where compared to masturbating monkeys. As such he wants this breach to reflect as badly as possible on Linux as a whole. *yawn* more bsd<->linux zelot mudslinging...
It has nothing to do with free vs closed, os vs os, it does however have everything to do with being prepared and not letting "bush league" administration practices effect public perception by any for/against faction. It's just bad administration and deployment, period.As a bsd proponent he has a dislike for Linux and perhaps more towards Linus due to a (admittedly shitty) remark where bsd developers where compared to masturbating monkeys. As such he wants this breach to reflect as badly as possible on Linux as a whole. *yawn* more bsd<->linux zelot mudslinging...
It's obvious this is a disaster for Linux and must be a lesson for Linux Foundation and the community itself. Anyway, Linux ecosystem has a long Nietzschean-like way: Which does not kill Linux, makes it stronger.
- One of the big things was the BitKeeper controversy, this resulted in Git.
- The SCO controversy implied to different parties like Novell, IBM, Red Hat, Linux and others. Finally the copyrights got resolved and Novell was the one owning the UNIX copyrights, that is positive because (still) being a Linux-based company.
So I think this will result in something to manage Linux Foundation's services in a lot more professional way and also a motivation to innovate in them.

The Song Of Sunset
Story Summary
The Song of Sunset is a set of stories set in the same AU. While some of them hold true to canon, the rest digress from it. It is the tale of the Noldor Royal House as told by the scions of the House of Finwe;. From Fingolfin and Maglor in The Journal arc that is set in the 1st Age, the tale is taken up by Elrond and Galadriel in the Song of Sunset arc set in the Second age and onwards.
This story forms the basic framework of the Sunset plot.
Set in Gil-Galad's court at Lindon. A lonely, young Elrond Half-Elven is trying to find where he belongs. He doesn't care a whit about Gil-Galad's attraction to Erestor Maglorion until he discovers during a sunset that he desires Erestor. The doom of Finwe continues to haunt its scions. Galadriel emerges as a major political player of the Second Age, with her nephews ruling in Lindon and Eregion. But Eregion happens and in its aftermath, Elrond is forced to admit that mere infatuation did not scratch the surface of his regard for Erestor. Elrond must choose between loyalty and love even as Galadriel seeks redemption for her fallen house. Unwilling to yield an inch to each other, they hatch intrigues, unlikely alliances and ruthless plans in a battle of means and ends.
The laws of the Gods cannot rule the passions of our hearts.
Warnings, Assumptions et al.
- This may contain a lot of mistakes on the punctuation side of things.
- It is recommended to read The Song of Sunset before you read the Journal arc.
Warnings: homosexual content, heterosexual content, graphic sex, infidelity, unholy matrimony, rape, violence, wars, tragedy, character deaths, AU.
Canon: The Silmarillion.
Original characters introduced:
- Carnilótë: Maglor's wife. Bears him a daughter and a son(Erestor).
- Menelwen: Maglor's daughter.
- Aldor: The chieftain of a human settlement near Eregion.
- Vanima: Daughter of Ingwion; granddaughter of Ingwë.
- Anoriel: Daughter of Amdir, sister to Amroth of Lorien.

Phoronix: Plasma Active Is Slimming Down KDE's KWin
Plasma Active, the KDE initiative to create a cross-device user experience from tablets to media centers and smart phones, is leading to an (optional) loss of weight for KWin, the long-standing KDE compositing window manager...
No pain no gain!
Yes, I'm a KDE fan, even before the numbers were out here on Phoronix - http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...anagers1&num=1
Still, I am at a loss why Gnome 2.x/3.0 and Unity still are the main favorites for most distros.
I guess the political side of it should have died a decade ago when Qt went GPL and later went LGPL.
What are the motives for retaining Gnome, seriously? Yes, seriously, as I don't understand that.
From what I have understood KDE can do anything Gnome can do and KDE does things Gnome cannot do (e.g. the scalability of a vector graphics desktop and a lean one at that). Even if I'm a general ignoramus I am still open to counterarguments.
Please educate me.
this is pretty cool. kde getting slimmer is always a plus in my book. every time i see updates for kde and my ram usage drops while i didn't lose any important features is great for me to see.
gnome is considered the linux default. i think it's because there are more programs that use gtk than qt. i prefer kde myself. when you compare gnome2 to kde3, there isn't really much of a point in using gnome unless you want to really mess with the desktop or panels (something kde is not as flexible with). but gnome3 has a completely different approach to how people use computers. as much as i don't find gnome3 practical for my uses, i can understand why people would like it, and i approve of gnome3 trying to be different.
i have noticed that by the end of gnome2's development, gnome has started to gear itself toward being user friendly. unfortunately, to the developers, that mostly just meant removing features from the gui. i switched to kde permanently once they started taking stuff away back in early 2009, and i'm glad i did. gnome3 is also definitely geared towards beginners.
Here's my view on the matter. I started using linux in 2006 with Fedora and Ubuntu. Both were using Gnome. In 2010 I decided to give KDE a try. It was with openSUSE 11.2. I was blown away! The amount of control it gives to the user over the desktop environment and native applications is just amazing. Besides this, Dolphin is the best file manager I've used to this day. KDE has some really nice ideas. The problem is that most of it is geared towards a specific type of workflow. If you use it on a desktop pc connected to one screen with a fast (or practically anything intel and nvidia based) GPU you will probably never have any major problems. KWin sucked ass on my Radeon HD4200. Really really slow with a few windows open. Also, if you like configuring everything to the finest detail before being able to properly use it, then you will also be fine. The problem is that I use a laptop that I need to constantly connect and disconnect from an external monitor and KWin has pathetic multimonitor support (e.g. here, here and here). Also, I got tired of having to configure everything to be able to use my system properly, and some times this involves going through cryptic configuration options that require some googling to fully understand. Besides all this there is the huge amount of visible small bugs that just make it look like an unfinished product. It's loaded with good ideas but they all seem unfinished, with the obvious example being the Activities stuff and the mess that was Akonadi and Strigi (that didn't even work, i.e. couldn't find what I was looking for) for a very long time.
Now, after a year of KDE I'm back with Gnome (Ubuntu) because "it just works". I know this is cliché but it's true. Just the fact that I can unplug my external monitor at any time and the display shifts flawlessly to the internal screen and vice-versa is just amazing. I can concentrate on doing stuff instead of trying to debug my system and filling bug reports.
kde has AMAZING multi-desktop support, and i personally find it very easy to set up. i can see why you'd think it's not very user friendly when it comes to a temporary external display of a laptop, but if you have a fixed multi-display setup, kde has some of the best features i've ever seen.
kde is somewhat confusing when it comes to configuring specific things (typically related to visuals and window manager interaction) but systemsettings is pretty straight-forward, imo more so than windows.
i'm not sure what versions of kde opensuse uses, but i've found that once version 4.5 was released, it was overall very stable. the only things that screws up my kde setup is opengl compositing with open source drivers, overclocking, a program with a memory leak, or if something is causing kwin to lock up.
to me, kde just needs some cleaning up. there is some disorganization in it and it has a little many programs that are forced to come with it.
here, here and here)
this bug, which caused maximized windows on the main screen to go behind panels that were defined as "always visible". Also, does the utility for configuring the displays already has a way of defining which is the primary screen? Does it allow for moving the displays around graphically to position them? If you disconnect one of the screens does it detect that and reconfigure the desktop to fit into the available screen alone? If it does that, does everything look correctly afterwards? These are most (but not all) the problems I had with KDE and multi-monitor setups.
Last edited by devius; 07-09-2011 at 07:25 AM.
@devius as far as i'm aware there are graphical ways of moving around the screens and labeling one as primary. even if kde doesn't come with that (which i'm pretty sure it does, i haven't done multi-monitor in a half year), you can just get arandr to do that for you, which is a really small easy program with nearly no dependencies.
systemsettings is one of the things i think needs cleaning up. like i said before, it may be better than the way windows vista/7 does it, but its still not that great.
i really think its coincidental that you got such an unstable system, because i use stuff like gimp on my kde setup and it never crashes.
try an nvidia setup with proprietary drivers and use the latest releases of kde and i'm sure you'll get a pretty reliable setup.
@schmidtbag The problem with Gimp and KDE isn't stability. I can't complain about stability in KDE as it's usually stable. The only thing that keeps crashing is mostly just Plasma. The problem with Gimp is the multiple windows with some of them being utility windows and that situation not being handled very well by KWin. If you minimize Gimp and then click on it's panel button to bring it back up it only brings back the image window. You have to press Ctrl+B to bring back the Tools window. Likewise if you change to a maximized window of another program in the same workspace, clicking the Gimp button to give it focus causes the same problem. This is cumbersome.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_...n_9000.2F9200; "There was also a cheaper version, the 9200SE, which only had a 64-bit memory bus." ).
QuiteInSane (http://packages.debian.org/en/sid/gimp2.0-quiteinsane): "A Qt based SANE plugin for GIMP 2.0. This Qt based SANE plugin runs through the GIMP image manipulation program and provide the ability to scan directly from it."
It works excellent with the latest GIMP of Debian Sid!

At the age of eleven, Peter D'Amato ordered a Venus flytrap from Famous Monsters magazine; thus began a lifetime of cultivating carnivorous plants. His small apartment became an urban jungle, so he moved to Sebastopol, California, the home of California Carnivores, where he grows and sells hundreds of other-worldly plants whose traps range from those small enough to capture protozoa to those big enough to contain a rodent.

Game 94: Braves at Nats
Jul 22, 2012, 3:58 PM EDT
Photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
The Nats try to salvage a series split and increase their NL East lead to 3 1/2 games.
What was the significance of last night's 5-2 win over the Braves? Well, instead of showing up at the park today in danger of getting swept and losing first place in the NL East for the first time in two months, the Nationals know they have an opportunity to salvage a split and get their lead back to 3 1/2 games, where it was when this series opened on Friday. Pretty big difference.
The Nationals will attempt to do that without Ian Desmond or Jesus Flores in their lineup. Desmond's oblique strain acted up again during last night's game, so he's getting a rest. For now, the team doesn't believe the injury is getting worse or that a DL stint is going to become a possibility — "I don't really want to go there," Davey Johnson said this morning. Flores, meanwhile, still is bothered by a stiff back, so Sandy Leon gets another start behind the plate.
Bryce Harper, on the other hand, is back in the lineup, fighting through a bruised left ankle after fouling a bunt off himself during yesterday's opener. He certainly looked fine coming off the bench during last night's win.
The skies appear to actually be clearing up after a long weekend of rain and gray. Plenty of updates to come, so please check back…

The good thing about a split with the Braves, of course, is that while the Braves leave town with the same deficit (3.5), they now have four fewer games to make it up. Yeah, it's a marathon and not a sprint, and we're not even up to August, but still, we've knocked four games off the magic number over four games. I.e., a split here favors the Nats

Yowsa! How nice to win this game without all the fear and ignorance that has been spewed out the past couple of days! We are in first place. We have the best record in the NL.We go to the Mets with pretty, pretty, pretty good pitching matchups, and a reasonably rested bullpen.I like it!

Holy shit, I didn't expect such a boost with a simple compiler flag.
Phoronix: Intel Core i7 AVX GCC Compiler Tuning Results
For those owners of Intel's latest-generation Core i3/i5/i7 "Sandy Bridge" processors, here's a quick look at the impact of some GCC tuning options specific to these latest AVX-enabled Intel processors...
Holy shit, I didn't expect such a boost with a simple compiler flag.
Intel: GMA45, HD3000 (Core i5 2500K)
1: No effect at all
2: The compiled binary does not work
3: The compiled binary is slower
4: The compiled binary is faster
In addition, performance increases often require certain combinations of compiler flags, making the tweak more complex than adding "-march"
I once had a bash script for a number of CLI binaries (notably ffmpeg, faac, flac) which would iterate through cflag combinations and compilers (gcc versus icc) After each iteration, the script would run an automated benchmark on the resulting binary. Results were dumped to a file and sorted. The issue that I ran into was that the results would change depending on factors such as platform arch, available memory, and CPU affinity. Other issues involved (pre)linking and libraries, killing misbehaving binaries, memory reclamation, etc.
Overall, a system with local optimizations performed approximately 50% better on average than a generic "-o2" solution. The problem is that you will never be able to find and fix all of the minor issues caused by the optimizations across all binaries to a level required by a distro. My conclusion was that compiler optimizations are of great benefit to single-task servers (a transcoding server in my case), but are currently out of reach for a general desktop.
Then I bought a Mac....
... and??...Originally Posted by russofris
My desktop (Athlon x2 5000+, then Phenom II x3, then an x6 and Radeon 4850, then a 4770, then 6850) hasn't woken from sleep properly in the last few years, not even once... even with an Ubuntu reinstall and then an eventual replacement with Mint.
I won't say that sleep is universally broken on my PCs in Linux (most of the other ones work), but it is for this one.

State of emergency: Analysts anticipate high winds, flooding and 25-foot waves
Monday, October 29, 2012
DOVER — Late this morning Governor John Lynch declared New Hampshire in a state of emergency. Meteorologists say Hurricane Sandy has the potential to be a monster, and not just because it has the power to throw off local goblins' and ghouls' plans for Halloween. The "Frankenstorm," said to threaten 60 million Americans along the East Coast, is predicted to weave together some of the worst symptoms of inclement weather known. Lynch urges granite-staters to stay off the roads, stock up on gas, food and water.
Sandy is an ordinary late summer hurricane from the tropics but combined with a high pressure ridge of air centered around Greenland blocking the hurricane's normal out-to-sea path forcing it west toward land makes it a strange concoction. A wintry cold front is moving in from the west, along with a blast of Arctic air from the north, and there will be a full moon with its usual effect, pulling in high tides.
With all factors combined, officials say this stitched-together weather monster is expected to unleash its power over 800 miles, with predictions in some areas of 12 inches of rain, 2 feet of snow and sustained 40- to 50 mph winds.
"The total is greater than the sum of the individual parts," said Louis Uccellini, the environmental prediction chief of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration meteorologists. "That is exactly what's going on here."
The NOAA has called this storm unprecedented. They report it is likely to be stronger and bigger than the 1991 Perfect Storm, will hit further south, and affect far more people.
Governor John Lynch also ordered the National Guard to put 100 soldiers on state active duty by 10 a.m. Monday, to be prepared to assist New Hampshire and local personnel with emergency response.
His administration cautioned the storm is unpredictable and its path could change with little warning.
Dover Police Lt. David Martinelli told Foster's the city's emergency management team, the city manager and police and fire departments, had not taken action yet against the storm but are prepared in case additional staff are needed.
"Right now, we're watching and prepared for what we need to do," he said.
Dover City Manager J. Michael Joyal, Jr., said "crews and equipment" were prepared and on standby in an email sent late Sunday night.
"... We will continue to follow this storm closely. With the exception of closing schools at least for tomorrow and postponing Halloween events until this coming Saturday evening," he wrote, "we will be attempting to maintain regular administrative office hours for city facilities ... Please continue to monitor the local news media for updates regarding the storm. "
He noted another update would sent late this morning.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Comments about Ludoli Duvet:
I was so excited to find this on sale because I love John Robshaw fabrics. This is beautiful -- subtle and elegant. The color is unique and not for everyone, but I really like it. I would describe it as citron. Looks great with the fog pillow, which I also purchased from Casa, and with my gray upholstered bed. I've washed it only once so I can't comment on durability, but it is soft and did not fade at all.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"Its important to us to bring in good people, people who can fit in the locker room and people you want to root and cheer for. People that want to win. Were trying to build for the long haul. -Dell Demps
I hate bandwagoners. Every player on 2k12 plays with the Heat or Thunder online. So aggravating.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
I play as the Hornets a lot on PS3, but I find it impossible to win, because they killed Chris Kaman's shot... It's not even close to how it really is.
All I do is just Choose Hornets online and shock the Heat-Thunder-Lakers bandwagoners. 2k is fixing their servers and announced that 2k13 will be ground-breaking.
farkkkkkkkkkk i hope we dont get a stupid bandwagon! i'll be pissed right off!
Hornets hype will fade soon. Should be ok by 2k. Also Live isn't even an option. They didn't even produce a game last year.
They should focus on NBA jam or something. Surprising EA has fallen off as much. Even NCAA football hasn't taken a major step up in a very long time. FIFA is pretty great and Madden is worth the buy.
Anybody on Xboxlive interested in a 2k12 franchise?

Clang continues to impress me, I can't wait for it to be capable of compiling a full standard distribution. In fact I have been eagerly eying FreeBSD again after years away from the platform because of their investment in making GCC history.
Phoronix: GCC & LLVM Clang Performance On The Intel Atom
A few weeks ago there were benchmarks of GCC, LLVM-GCC, DragonEgg, and Clang. In this compiler performance comparison the releases of GCC 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, and a 4.6 development snapshot were benchmarked. On the LLVM side there was LLVM-GCC 4.2, DragonEgg with GCC 4.5 and LLVM 2.8, and then Clang with LLVM 2.8. This combination of eight open-source compilers were tested on three distinct Intel and AMD systems (even a 12-thread Core i7 Gulftown), but all of which were 64-bit capable and contained relatively high-end processors from their respective series. To complement this earlier article, available now are some new GCC/LLVM benchmarks but this time an older Intel Atom CPU was used to look at the 32-bit compiler performance on a slower, low-power netbook.
Clang continues to impress me, I can't wait for it to be capable of compiling a full standard distribution. In fact I have been eagerly eying FreeBSD again after years away from the platform because of their investment in making GCC history.
Keep these benchmarks coming, really looking forward to the ARM tests. Also great that you've opted for the latest point releases in your tests, makes the result much more relevant.
Add Intel icc to the mix, so that we have some perspective. I am sure Intel will readily provide you with a copy, unless they are afraid of comparison. :-)
Secondly, looking at how the FSF has run GCC e.g. you will see that they directly prohibited things like plugins for reason not of technology but to protect their ideological bend. Thus disallowing, in practice, the use of GCC for things such as static analysis which LLVM offers us today. Static code analysis is just one of many technologies we could and should deploy to ensure secure and performant code. The FSF playing politics with the compiler and their licensing has actively prevented that, in effect putting Open Source software in a worse place than it had to be (so much so that Coverity has made a small fortune running such tests on select codebases for us - using of course proprietary software which I hardly would call a win for ideology overall).
Thirdly, I prefer a BSD/X11 style license (specifically I am personally rather fond of the MS-PL license but that is besides the point).
GCC is holding us back, the few areas where it currently leads such as proactive security I expect Clang will catch up shortly - as the tests show performance of the resulting code isn't holding for long. In the mean time your average distro will be moving to ship LLVM for the Gallium drivers, likely also for Mono and Python (if Google's work will ever get mrged) and many other aspects. Making GCC effectively redundant code, and who wants to maintain two separate code paths which both have to be supported.
I believe the sooner we start moving towards a goal of compiling our distros with Clang and obsoleting GCC, the sooner we will start reaping the benefits that are inherent to such a move. FreeBSD have realized it's potential and have started this move, I believe we are behind technologically and the time to start this work is now.
