This article was first published
by Jewish Ideas Daily (www.jewishideasdaily.com) and is reprinted with
permission.The religious values of presidents seldom satisfactorily explain their attitudes
toward the Jews.Franklin Roosevelt's Episcopalian faith could not have
foretold his hard-hearted policies during the Holocaust. Harry Truman and Jimmy
Carter, both Baptists, went in opposite directions, with Truman quick to grant
Israel diplomatic recognition and Carter conspicuous in his anti-Israelism. Who
knows to what extent Barack Obama's affiliation with the United Church of Christ
provides any insight into his administration's erratic, often disquieting
policies toward Jerusalem? Still, it is hard to disregard completely the
religious and moral values of the leading presidential candidates.The
narrowing of the Republican nomination field to Mitt Romney and Someone Else has
made barely a ripple in Israel to date.Israel's media dutifully covered
Romney's complaint that Obama has been too quick to chasten the Jewish state and
his pledge to make Israel his first foreign destination if
elected.However, should Romney capture the nomination, Israelis, as
Americans have done, will probably find themselves getting a crash course on his
Mormon faith.They might begin at the strikingly handsome campus of the
Jerusalem Center of Brigham Young University, run by the Mormons (more properly,
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints) and situated on the slopes of
the Mount of Olives. On the campus, Sunday evening classical concerts and
Thursday night jazz divertimentos take place in a congenial auditorium offering
panoramic Jerusalem views. But the well-bred Mormon students and staff do not
draw much attention – and that is the way everyone likes it.It was in
1841, within a few decades of its founding by Joseph Smith in New York State,
that the Church dispatched Apostle Orson Hyde to Jerusalem on a fact-finding
tour. But only with the city's liberation in 1967 did the Church begin routinely
sending believers to the Holy Land for religious studies. Mormonism was last
spotlighted in Israel in 1985, when Brigham Young University first sought to
establish a presence there. It drew vociferous hostility from the ultra-Orthodox
because of the Mormons' earlier missionary activities in Israel. But the
facility had the support of the late mayor Teddy Kollek and then-prime minister
Shimon Peres; and after Church authorities pledged in writing not to engage in
missionary activities in Israel, the campus opened in 1988.Nowadays, 160
students can be accommodated at the Jerusalem campus (it closed for six years
during the second intifada because of safety concerns). There is every reason to
believe the Mormons have honored their commitment to "show Israeli Jews what the
Church is about by example rather than by proselytizing." Mormons see themselves
as Christians, although to the consternation of Christian fundamentalists, some
of them identify Jesus with the God of the Hebrew Bible and hold a schismatic
view of the Trinity in which God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are three
distinct deities. Like Christian Zionists, Mormons believe that the Jewish
return to the Land of Israel is a precursor to the second coming of the
Christian messiah.Mormon theology is particularly philo-Semitic. The
faithful consider their Church part of the House of Israel. They deem themselves
spiritual descendants of the Israelite tribe of Ephraim – which escaped
Babylonian captivity by migrating to North America around 586 BCE, though their
civilization disappeared around 400 CE (The Book of Mormon has the tribe fleeing
Jerusalem prior to the Babylonian conquest.) Mormons believe their scripture,
revealed to Smith by an angel, contains writings by ancient prophets including
Lehi, whom God commanded to lead those Israelites to America.Mormons
attribute significance to the Jewish calendar. Many of their spiritual
milestones parallel Jewish festivals. There are also dietary laws: Eating meat
is restricted, while alcohol, tobacco and coffee are prohibited.The
cross does not commonly adorn Mormon houses of worship.But in some ways,
Mormons are unique. Polygamy has been forbidden since 1890; but unlike either
Christians or Jews, Mormons believe that the canon remains open and God still
communicates directly with the righteous.And Mormonism is emphatically a
missionary faith. Romney was almost killed while a missionary in France, in a
bizarre traffic accident involving a head-on collision with a vehicle driven by
a Catholic priest. To this day, Mormons take what will strike some Israelis as
an unnerving delight in converting American Jews.Moreover, in a rite
that drew Jewish ire, the Church once engaged in virtual baptisms of Jews
murdered in the Shoah in order to allow their souls salvation. Once Mormons
learned of the depth of Jewish objections to this practice, they agreed to stop
it (and they generally have, with some recent controversial
aberrations).None of this should present a problem for Jews comfortable
with their Judaism. Theologically, Jews tend to be libertarian about other
faiths; politically, by September 2011, a third of Jewish voters were disposed
to vote for Romney over Obama.What might this mean for the pragmatic
Romney? Utah State University historian Philip Barlow argues that Romney's faith
might inform but would not determine his Mideast policies: "His character was in
part shaped by Mormonism, but one only needs to compare Romney, Jon Huntsman,
and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to note that Mormons are not made from
cookie cutters."Regarding Romney's profession of friendship to Israel,
Barlow points out that "Mormons' history, popular culture, and theology really
do give them a sense of regard for Israel's role in history and world affairs,
and a sense" – from the Mormons' perspective – "of shared identity."As a
former governor, Romney has no real foreign policy track record. How does he
understand the Islamist threat to Western values? What are his thoughts on Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's approach to a two-state solution? Does he back
President George Bush's 1967-plus approach to Israel's boundaries? Much remains
to be revealed.Other presidents have entered the White House with an
innate sympathy for Israel only to see their policies towed in the opposite
direction. But in the course of the unfolding presidential campaign, Americans –
and, from afar, Israelis – will learn something of the Mormon Romney's politics,
values, and understanding of the world.This article was first published

House and Senate-Passed Bill Could Help Feds Crack Down on ProtestersMarch 6, 2012 - by Donny Shaw
A couple weeks ago, the House passed a bill that closes a security loophole to clarify in federal statute that it is a crime to trespass on White House property or any other federal property protected by the Secret Service. That's a relatively innocuous change in law, and it's probably just a response to the embarrassing White House party crashers incident back in 2009. But the bill also does something else that may have much broader implications, including an expansion of the government's ability to lock up protesters. It amends a long-standing law againt "willfully and knowingly" trespassing on restricted grounds without lawful authority so that criminal penalties can be applied in a case where a person "knowingly" trespasses. "Willfully" has been dropped from the law by the bill.
To discern the significance of this small change in wording, we need to look at federal court precedent. In 2004, a man who was arrested by the South Carolina state police for protesting against the Iraq War outside of a designated "free-speech zone" at ain airforce base was indicted by the federal government for trespassing on restricted grounds. In that case, U.S. v. Bursey, the court focused on whether the defendant "willfully" violated the law because they believed that the hurdle of precedent for proving willfulness is higher than for proving knowledge. Here's the precedent they cite in a footnote:
We focus our discussion on whether Bursey "willfully" violated the Statute, because, generally, "[m]ore is required" with respect to conduct performed willfully than conduct performed knowingly. Bryan v. United States, 524 U.S. 184, 193 (1998); see also United States v. Jarvouhey, 117 F.3d 440, 442 (9th Cir. 1997) (concluding willful violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(a) requires "more culpable" mens rea than knowing violation). As a general proposition, the statutory term "knowingly" requires the Government to prove only that the defendant had knowledge of the facts underlying the offense. See Bryan, 524 U.S. at 192-93.
In other words, according to the courts, "willful" means that you are aware that what you are doing is against some law; "knowing" means that you are simply conscious of what you are doing.
Under this bill restricted areas are defined to include "a building or grounds restricted in conjunction with an event designated as a special event of national significance." So, for example, the bill would seem to allow the federal government to indict any protester who chooses to enter a cordoned-off area at a protest outside an IMF meeting. Without the bill, they likely would not prevail in court because the average protester is probably not aware that there is a special federal statue regarding what they are doing. The punishment provided by the bill would be up to one year in prison, or up to 10 years in prison if the person is carrying a "deadly or dangerous weapon."
The bill's supporters in Congress have been aggressive in their claim that interpretations like mine are incorrect. For example, bill sponsor Rep. Tom Rooney [R, FL-16] tweeted: "H.R. 347 does not effect your right to protest in any way whatsoever. It deals with fence jumpers, not protesters." But readings of the legislative text, federal statute, and legal precedent suggest that the bill's supporters are simply unaware of the significance of the bill's subtle changes in wording. As always with bills in Congress, it's important to look at the potential for how it could be used and abused, not simply the intention of the members of Congress who sponsored it.
The bill has been approved by both the Senate and the House. It is currently waiting to be signed into law by President Obama.

Free Speech and Assembly has been "stolen" from our Constitution via the signing of this poorly written Trespass Bill. "Our" bipartisan Congress and the "lapdog" press has kidnapped the American public and perpetrated the most tyrannical heist of freedom in this country's history. Good bye to the 1st Amendment.
Read: "Free Speech and Assembly Stolen in Bipartisan Heist of 1st Amendment:http://www.sleeplessandtired.com/?p=5686
The Trespass Bill and the NDAA have given Obama the rights to "remove" dissenters and lock them up indefinitely.
You must be one of thoses the sky is falling I would be asking your self who wrote the bill and right now who is taking all rights away from the people take a good look at the Middle of the Country you have from democracy being taken away to the legislators and Governors playing doctors on women to Passing Vagina Laws now someone is not getting it at home to Vigilantism to a Governor being elected to run the state and all he dose is pass it on because he's to lazy to do the work so he brings in a Emergency Manager or the Sticking things up a women and this is the real peoples agenda and where's the Jobs that Republicans were voted in to do dose not sound like that going to happen any time soon

I hope that the President dose not sign it and if he dose he will be doing a real blow to Freedom of Speech Republicans. think the more they take the more we will forget about what there doing to this Country and pay back is a B The Robots of Wall St. think that this vote on the health care will change my vote H it makes me even more because I no they will be in the back ground and that's not far enough This Supreme Court are a joke by interfering in a Legislative Decision not a Court this court is known to try and legislate back in 1937 They received Criticism then and will again it's funny how every election this court are always there now what kind of court are they again a party line Robot court and who are those Groups that brought this fourth there the Friends of the Court that says it all I seen this coming in 2010 they the Republicans were just to close and I new that they needed a lot more than themselves to take over this Government anyway they could

If this bill will be approved, it could be possible that protesters will do some other way to shout out what they truly feel and believe. Although this situation is inevitable, there will still be some problems that will exists due to this, but hopefully, it would help.

"Willingly," "knowingly," "free-speech zone"; What the f-ck ever! The United States IS the free-speech zone. Any rule or law that states otherwise is unconstitutional. Period.
- mouseissue 04/10/2012 1:36pm
Next to Obamacare, this is the most blatantly unconstitutional law I've seen written in all my 60 years.
For so-called protestors that "jump fences" and present a threat to another's health and/or welfare, this makes some sense.
But how many innocent citizens speaking their minds would be locked up because of this law?… It's scary to think!
It's very clear that our Constitution is being undermined at every turn.
Soon, it will be no more than a historic document.
At this rate, the America I grew up in would be a foreign land to my grandchildren unless the Supreme Court dumps this law.

42 Years Old, Nursed 2 Kids, Want my Natural Fullness Back Got Mentor 425 cc cohesive gel - Saint Louis, MO
I absolutely love Dr. McGuire! Not only did she come recommended by a doctor I trust, the entire staff is wonderful and the surgery center people said "oh she's the best, does the best work." She's not the biggest name in Saint Louis but she's ok with that. She even told me I didn't need a tummy tuck so she wouldn't do it! Too many other docs would do it just for the money. She realistically looks at the entire patient and what they need to look good.

Breast Reconstruction After a Bi-lateral Mastectomy and Radiation - Saint Louis, MI
I have been a patient of Dr. McGuire for over 10 years. She is punctual, professional and an amazing surgeon. She always answers my questions in a straight forward manner, and takes the time to make sure I know what to expect. She's caring, confident, not arrogant, and incredibly skillful. She uses the most current techniques, really cutting edge. My relationship with her is one I hold in the highest regard. I believe she sets the tone with her office staff because I do and can always count of them. She has advised me for over a decade and thank goodness for her. She achieved the impossible for me and for that I am grateful.

Product description
A 2012 Michael L. Printz HonorBook Charlie Bucktin, a bookish thirteen year old, is startled one summer night by an urgent knock on his bedroom window. His visitor is Jasper Jones, an outcast in their small mining town, and he has come to ask for Charlie's help. Terribly afraid but desperate to impress, Charlie follows him into the night. Jasper takes him to his secret glade, where Charlie witnesses Jasper's horrible discovery. With his secret like a brick in his belly, Charlie is pushed and pulled by a town closing in on itself in fear and suspicion. He locks horns with his tempestuous mother, falls nervously in love, and battles to keep a lid on his zealous best friend. In the simmering summer where everything changes, Charlie learns why the truth of things is so hard to know, and even harder to hold in his heart. "From the Hardcover edition."

Review quote
Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, March 15, 2011 "The author's keen ear for dialogue is evident in the humorous verbal sparring between Charlie and Jeffrey, typical of smart 13-year-old boys...A richly rewarding exploration of truth and lies by a masterful storyteller." Starred Review, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, April 2011: "Silvey's sure-footed, evocative prose, intelligent humor, and careful plot structuring may well ensure this Aussie import lasting status." Starred Review, The Horn Book Magazine, May/June 2011: "The mood and atmosphere of the 1960s small-town Australian setting is perfectly realized--suspenseful, menacing, and claustrophobic--with issues of race and class boiling just below the surface." Starred Review, School Library Journal, June 2011: "Silvey is a master of wit and words, spinning a coming-of-age tale told through the mind of a young Holden Caulfield." "" "From the Hardcover edition."

Final Score: Saint Joseph's 69, Virginia Commonwealth 62
Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Langston Galloway erupted for 24 points and pulled down six rebounds as the Saint Joseph's Hawks defeated the Rams of Virginia Commonwealth, 69-62, in Atlantic 10 Conference play at Hagan Arena.
Also scoring in double figures for the Hawks (16-7, 6-3 A-10) was DeAndre Bembrey who dropped in 18 points, while Halil Kanacevic filled out his state line with 10 rebounds, seven points, seven assists and a pair of blocks as the team won for the third time in four games.
The Rams (19-5, 7-2) were paced by Juvonte Reddic with 17 points and eight boards, followed by Melvin Johnson with 14 points off the bench as they had a six-game win streak come to an end. Treveon Graham pitched in with 13 points and eight rebounds, while Briante Weber tallied 11 points and four assists in the setback.
VCU's largest lead of the contest was just two points as the team shot 40.7 percent from the field in the first half, including a mere 1-of-6 behind the 3-point line, as the Hawks pulled out to a 34-26 advantage at the break.
In the second half the hosts converted a modest 45.8 percent from the field and connected on 9-of-12 at the charity stripe in order to secure the upset win.
Saint Joseph's survived despite shooting only 6-of-21 behind the 3-point line on the night.

I really enjoy this book. This is one of those books you revisit. The poems are interesting and as a child, I loved reading them. I did not get all of the big concepts of the stories but I liked the language and how it rhymed. I would recite each poem as if it was a song when I read them to my parents. I also liked the pictures in the book. I liked how simple they were. I would draw pictures like them to go with poems I would make up. I think seeing pictures that the kids think they can duplicate will encourage creativity. There are so many over all messages in this book. It is a compilation of many poems and some might have a deeper meaning then others. These can also be left for interpretation by the reader.
A joy to read at any age. Even though this collection was written an published in the 70's, there is a timeless element to many of the poems found in this collection. This is a great text to have children read during their free time, and one that will help get their creativity going. Poems can be about everyday life and there is something in this collection for everyone. Some poems are only silly, but there are many that actually speak to deeper issues in a lighthearted way. This would be an excellent text to help students learn to read out loud to others in the classroom.
This is a favorite among children. With its lighthearted and funny poems, this book can help a child escape or relate to it. It is an excellent way to introduce poetry and can be used as a writing prompt for student's own poetry.
This book is a classic filled with all kinds of whimsical, fun and sometimes sad poems. It's fun to have students read aloud these poems and then discuss them. A great way to spark interest in poetry in the classroom.
A collection of silly and imaginative poetry for children. There are over 100 poems in this book giving many topics to choose from for a read-aloud. I love that I can break this reading up over several weeks or months, a great book to use a treat for reading aloud to a group as well as introducing poetry.
There's some nice, lively stuff in here, good for reading aloud on a sleety weekend afternoon. Just don't make it the only book of verse on the children's shelves.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060256672, Hardcover)Shel Silverstein shook the staid world of children's poetry in 1974 with the publication of this collection, and things haven't been the same since. More than four and a half million copies of Where the Sidewalk Ends have been sold, making it the bestselling children's poetry book ever. With this and his other poetry collections (A Light in the Attic and Falling Up), Silverstein reveals his genius for reaching kids with silly words and simple pen-and-ink drawings. What child can resist a poem called "Dancing Pants" or "The Dirtiest Man in the World"? Each of the 130 poems is funny in a different way, or touching ... or both. Some approach naughtiness or are a bit disgusting to squeamish grown-ups, but that's exactly what kids like best about Silverstein's work. Jim Trelease, author of The New Read-Aloud Handbook, calls this book "without question, the best-loved collection of poetry for children." (Ages 4 to 10)

It will first take on third-placed Rajasthan Royals with its motely crew of effective but low-profile cricketers
The unperturbed picture of Gary Kirsten must be a source of inspiration for Delhi Daredevils (DD) as the team resumes its IPL-7 campaign with a home match against an upbeat Rajasthan Royals here on Saturday.
After experiencing two wins and three defeats in the UAE, Daredevils tied on four points and occupying seventh place on the points table, will look forward to the support of their loyal fans at the Ferozeshah Kotla to score some valuable points.
DD's journey thus far has been inconsistent. If getting bundled out for 84 against Chennai Super Kings was a forgettable affair, restricting Mumbai Indians to 125 for six to record a six-wicket win was a morale booster.
DD will also take heart from its big chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad even though it lost narrowly. So far, DD has benefited from the individual performances of J-P. Duminy, who is fifth in the batting chart with 173 runs, and Murali Vijay.
Dinesh Karthik and Ross Taylor have got promising starts, while Kevin Pietersen is yet to unleash his powers.
DD's bowling line-up — consisting of competent pacers such as Mohammad Shami, Wayne Parnell and useful spinners in Shahbaz Nadeem and Rahul Sharma — has to combine well to show its might.
Third-placed RR, on six points, is bubbling with confidence after its sensational Super Over win against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Its batting, led by opener Ajinkya Rahane and captain Shane Watson, has been far more consistent. It also has some capable batsmen in Steve Smith and Sanju Vishwanadh.
Effective yet low-profile all-rounders in Rajat Bhatia, Stuart Binny and James Faulkner provide solidity to the side. Young Australian fast bowler Kane Richardson has provided breakthroughs at crucial times, while leg-spinner Pravin Tambe has established himself as a match-winner.
With Rahul Dravid as its mentor, RR presents itself as a cohesive unit which can stun the best of the best.
Keywords: IPL 7, IPL 2014, Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Daredevils

|Red Sox release A.J. Pierzynski
|07.16.14 at 3:40 pm ET
One week after they designated catcher A.J. Pierzynski for assignment, the Red Sox announced that they had released the 37-year-old.
Pierzynski, signed by the Red Sox this offseason to a one-year, $8.25 million contract with the hope that he would offer solid offensive production against right-handed pitching while serving as a one-year placeholder to permit prospect Christian Vazquez to conclude his development in the minor leagues, hit .254 with a .286 OBP and .348 slugging mark in 72 games. That offensive struggle, according to GM Ben Cherington, was at the heart of the team's decision to release Pierzynski and call up Christian Vazquez in the final days of the first half.
Pierzynski is now a free agent.
|Ozzie Guillen: 'Sad about' A.J. Pierzynski getting designated for assignment
|07.15.14 at 7:21 pm ET
MINNEAPOLIS — When Ozzie Guillen managed A.J. Pierzynski from 2005-11, two clashed frequently while together in the White Sox clubhouse. Yet Guillen ultimately appreciated what Pierzynski offered his team, and so given his feelings about Pierzynski's value, the former manager — in Minneapolis as a TV commentator for the All-Star Game — said that he was not expecting to see his former catcher released by the Red Sox last week.
"I am [surprised] because I don't know the reason. That's up to them, the reason," said Guillen. "A.J., when I was with him, I think he did a tremendous job. Obviously, when you don't pitch well, you don't hit well, I think the reason they did it is because they have a prospect coming up. I think that's a good reason to do it, but in the meanwhile, you have to be inside to know about what was really going on. I was sad about it, but hopefully A.J. can get a job."
Though Guillen spoke highly of Pierzynski's character as a winning baseball player, he was not shocked by the idea that Pierzynski may have had a difficult time fitting in with the Red Sox.
"A.J. is not always an easy guy to deal with," said Guillen. "I know A.J., for some people when you see him, he sounds arrogant. I think one thing about A.J. that I always appreciated is that he shows up to play every day. He shows up to play and he shows up to win. He's the type of guy that, when he's not winning, he gets upset and sometimes says things he shouldn't say. But one thing I love about A.J.: No one in Boston — no one, and I respect the clubhouse, I respect the manager and I respect the fans — but nobody in Boston can say A.J. is not a winner. He is. … He shows up to win. He's not just showing up to play, he's showing up to win, and some people can't handle that. One thing A.J. Pierzynski has is a winning attitude."
|Gabe Kapler on MFB: A.J. Pierzynski 'a harmless individual' who 'just didn't perform' in Boston
|07.10.14 at 12:07 pm ET
Fox Sports 1 analyst and former Red Sox outfielder Gabe Kapler checked in with Middays with MFB on Thursday to discuss the Red Sox' struggles and the controversy surrounding A.J. Pierzynski. To hear the interview, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
The Red Sox released Pierzynski on Wednesday, and reports indicate the veteran catcher — who came to Boston with a reputation of being abrasive — had issues with teammates in the clubhouse. Kapler knows Pierzynski, having played winter league ball with him in Hawaii in the late 1990s.
"I got to know him well, and he's a harmless individual," Kapler said. "Big heart, sweetheart of a guy. Has the propensity to rub some folks the wrong way if things aren't going well for him. And I think that's the most important thing to look at here. He's having his worst season ever offensively."
Added Kapler: "We all have to be careful not to kick a guy on his way out, right? I think that that is the common thread, it's the easiest thing to do. While I think there was certainly an element of clubhouse chemistry and his ability to connect with his teammates, I think the bottom line here is that he just didn't perform. And that's what Boston Red Sox front office members want to see — does a guy come in and perform? At some point you have to say, look, we don't see this getting better."
Christian Vazquez was called up from Triple-A Pawtucket to replace Pierzynski on the roster, and the young catcher showed promise in his debut Wednesday night.
"The other part of this equation — and it's irresponsible not to illuminate it — is that the Red Sox want to see Vazquez: plus defender, a guy who can shut down a running game," Kapler said. "[John] Farrell's a big fan — actually, all of baseball is a big fan. And they want to see what this guy can do behind the plate, stopping the running game."
With Wednesday's win, the Red Sox improved to 40-51. The defending World Series champions are 9 1/2 game behind the first-place Orioles in the American League East. Kapler said he does not hold Farrell entirely responsible for this year's struggles.
"I think John Farrell's doing a fine job," Kapler said. "Look, a lot of things have gone wrong for the Boston Red Sox. Last year they were sort of playing like superhero versions of themselves. A lot of them have sort of regressed back to the mean. You have a group of guys that — particularly in the lineup — that aren't doing a very good job of scoring runs. And sans [Jon] Lester and [John] Lackey, there hasn't been a whole lot of dependability in the starting rotation. The bullpen has been a pleasant surprise in a lot of different ways.
"But look, Farrell can't walk into the batter's box and hold the bat for these guys. And until they are scoring runs like we saw last year, it's going to be a pretty tough road for them."
|Ben Cherington: As trade deadline approached, Red Sox in 'unusual … unique' position
|07.09.14 at 8:12 pm ET
After 90 games, it's hard to assess the 2014 Red Sox season as anything but a failure.
A Red Sox squad fresh off a 97-win campaign that resulted in a World Series title was expected to once again establish itself as the cream of the crop in the American League this season -- not slump to the status of cellar dweller.
This is not the 1998 Marlins, who dropped from a 92-70 record (and a World Series title) in 1997 to a dreadful 55-108 season the following year due to a monumental fire sale. The 2014 Red Sox have a payroll of around $164 million and retained 17 of the 2013 team's 25-man World Series roster.
Simply put, no one expected the Red Sox to be 12 games under .500 at this point of the season. General manager Ben Cherington is among those struggling to make sense of what has transpired.
Now 10 1/2 games behind first-place Baltimore in the AL East, the Red Sox have been put in a position that Cherington has not been familiar with — possibly taking on the role of "seller" as the trade deadline draws near.
"I think we're in an unusual and perhaps unique position," Cherington said. "It's unusual in the sense that we haven't been in this position — at least since I've been here — of even thinking about trading players at the deadline. So that's unusual. It's unique because on the one hand, our team is where it is. On the other hand, we've got guys on the team who are performing at a very high level who were part of winning a World Series months ago, and that just doesn't happen often in baseball.
"Sometimes teams are sellers, but not necessarily with guys that are coming off of success like that. We'll just have to see what happens. As I've said before, whatever we do will be with the mind of trying to get better as quickly possible and trying to build the next good team as quickly as possible."
When he inked a one-year, $8.25 million contract with Boston on December 3, 2013, A.J. Pierzynski was expected to be a short-term, if not suitable, solution behind the plate for the Red Sox this season.
He may not have been in the team's plans for the long haul, but even Pierzynski couldn't have expected that his tenure in Boston would reach its conclusion at such an early juncture.
Pierzynski was designated for assignment Wednesday afternoon after just 72 games with the Red Sox, batting.254 with a .286 OBP, .348 slugging mark, four home runs and 31 RBIs this season.
For Red Sox manager John Farrell, the move was necessary for the team to look to the future, as Pawtucket catcher Christian Vazquez was called up to fill Pierzynski's open roster spot. Vazquez is a part of the team's future beyond 2014; Pierzynski never was, which is why he was signed to a one-year contract as something of a placeholder.
"Obviously we designated A.J. earlier today," Farrell said. "It's an opportunity for us to invest in players that we feel are going to be here beyond 2014 and while there may be other decisions that are forthcoming, we felt like the place we where we were going to start with was behind the plate."
"You never want to see a teammate get released or have to leave for any reason," said catcher David Ross before Wednesday's game against the White Sox. "We wish him the best, he's had a great major league career up to this point."
With the departure of Jarrod Saltalamacchia after the 2013 season, Boston looked for a backstop that would both approximate Saltalamachia's impressive offensive numbers from last year (.273/.338/.466 with 54 extra-base hits, 65 RBIs) while also being on a short-term deal that would avoid blocking promising catchers in the organization going forward – such as Vazquez or Portland's Blake Swihart.
For Farrell, Pierzynski — who averaged 22 home runs and 74 RBIs over 2012 and 2013 — fit all those requirements.
Red Sox manager John Farrell joined Dale & Holley on Wednesday afternoon to discuss A.J. Pierzynski's departure, the current state of the club and trade rumors regarding Jake Peavy. To listen to the interview, go to the Dale & Holley audio on demand page.
Pierzynski was designated for assignment Wednesday afternoon, a roster move that Farrell confirmed during his appearance.
Farrell said that Pierzynski, who hit .254 with four home runs and 31 RBIs while posting a .286 OBP in 72 games this year, was not made expendable due to his personality or performance at the plate, but due to the need to bring up more youth to the club, as Pawtucket catcher Christian Vazquez will be called up and and get the start behind the plate for Wednesday night's game.
"It's at that point in the season where you start to look to invest in young players and take advantage of the games remaining for us," Farrell said. "We look to players who might be here beyond this season, and in that case it's Christian Vazquez, who's behind the plate here tonight."
Farrell continued: "This has been a matter of us taking a look internally at, what are the players we're going to continue to build forward with? And we've started with what's taken place behind the plate."
While Farrell said that the team is not mailing it in this season, he acknowledged that the team is making a move to look to the future by playing some of the organization's most promising players.
"We're turning the page in terms of investing in young players," Farrell said. "We've had a number of young players in starting roles for the vast majority of this season. I wouldn't say that the white flag is being waved, because inside our clubhouse, I can honestly tell you that feeling does not exist. This is a matter of how we're going to go out and beat Chris Sale tonight."
|Red Sox baserunning woes persist as A.J. Pierzynski, Stephen Drew run into outs
|07.02.14 at 12:17 am ET
The Red Sox don't have enough rallies to snuff them out through their own actions. After a 2-1 loss to the Cubs, the Sox rank 26th in the majors in average (.241), 13th in OBP (.319), 27th in slugging (.365), 23rd in OPS (.684) and 27th in the majors — and dead last in the AL — in runs per game (3.71). Those woeful numbers from the batter's box make a couple of the team's deficiencies — both of which were on display in Tuesday's game — all the more glaring.
The Red Sox have taken a two-pronged approach to running into outs. While their rate of running into outs while taking an extra base has been roughly league average (the Sox have 28 such outs; the AL average entering Tuesday was 27), their masochistic tendencies have been particularly pronounced at second base. On Tuesday, A.J. Pierzynski slammed a ball off the Wall in left and tried to advance to second. The carom was played cleanly by left fielder Chris Coghlan, who threw out Pierzynski by perhaps 30 feet at second, beating him by such a margin that Pierzynski did not bother to slider on the tag play. That marked the 13th time this year that a Sox runner has been thrown out at second (on a play other than a force or a caught stealing), tied for most in the American League.
"A.J. is trying to stretch a single into a double, probably a little over-aggressive on his part," said Sox manager John Farrell. "Coghlan makes a good play off the wall and throws a strike into second base."
"Trying to get in scoring position," Pierzynski said brusquely. "That's it."
It marked the second time this year that Pierzynski has been thrown out at second — not even close to the team and American League leader in the category, Dustin Pedroia, who has been thrown out at second five times (most recently trying to stretch a single into a double on Saturday in New York). Pedroia is tied for fourth in the A.L. with six outs on the bases; Pierzynski has run into three outs, tied with Grady Sizemore and Jackie Bradley Jr. for second on the team.

|Jake Peavy frustrated with umpire's call on fourth inning, two-out walk prior to HR
|07.01.14 at 5:23 am ET
The count was 3-2 and Jake Peavy was just one strike away from striking out the side in the fourth inning. To that point in the game, Peavy had regained some velocity on his fastball that was not present in his past couple of outings. Peavy felt good on the mound, confident that he would turn in a start that would give the Red Sox a chance to win.
Peavy pumped a 91 mph fastball to Cubs batter Welington Castillo right on the outside corner, over the white of the plate, and most importantly, right where Peavy and catcher David Ross wanted the pitch. Peavy waited for home plate umpire Chris Conroy to punch out Castillo.
He waited and waited.
The punch-out from Conroy never came and Castillo walked down to first base. Peavy walked around the mound, frustrated with the call on what he thought should have been strike three.
Eight pitches later, Peavy left a cutter over the heart of the plate and Nate Schierholtz deposited the ball into the Red Sox bullpen in right field to swing the game 2-0 in favor of the Cubs. Considering how Cubs starter Jake Arrieta was throwing and how much the Red Sox offense has struggled to generate runs, Schierholtz's home run was all the offense Chicago needed.
Schierholtz's blast marked the 17th home run this season off Peavy, who is tied for most home runs allowed in the American League with David Price of the Rays. The righty has allowed home runs in all but three of his 17 starts in 2014. Peavy said that the high home run total is inherent with his desire to have an aggressive game plan with each start.
"I'm going to be aggressive and throw the ball over the plate," Peavy said. "I shouldn't say that I don't mind giving up home runs. You don't ever want to. Not many of them have been like the [Kyle] Seager [three-run home run in Seattle]. If you give up one or two, as long as they are solo shots, no more than a two-run home run, you have a good chance of keeping your team in the game. It's frustrating, and I relive the pitch [to Schierholtz] over and over. I wish that I had thrown something different and wish I had located it and things could have been different."
|John Farrell on D&H: 'I don't think [any upcoming roster move] will be surprising'
|06.25.14 at 4:34 pm ET
Red Sox manager John Farrell joined Dale & Holley on Wednesday to discuss the struggles of Xander Bogaerts and A.J. Pierzynski and the condition of the team. To listen to the interview, go to the Dale & Holley audio on demand page.
The Red Sox continue to disappoint in 2014, as the team is mired in fourth place in the AL East with a 35-43 record. Boston is reeling during a West Coast trip, producing a 1-5 record and getting outscored 36-18 in games against the Athletics and Mariners. Despite Boston's struggles, Farrell says his team has the potential to turn things around this season.
"I think what we've all shared, from top to bottom, is some frustration with how the first 78 games or so have gone," Farrell said. "We've had areas on this team that have been very strong, and until lately, that's been the rotation and really the bullpen. The last couple of days have not been good for us from the mound. … We're starting to get some guys back. [Clay] Buchholz obviously starts tonight for us, Brandon Workman is in line and a strong candidate for Friday, so we're starting to get some help back to us.
"Some of the inconsistencies on the offensive side, that's got to change for us to got on a little bit more of an extended run."
Bogaerts is going through the worst slump of his brief MLB career, posting a .157 average with five extra-base hits in June. The 21-year-old slugger has been even worse over his last seven games with a .080 average and two singles in his last seven games.
"I do know that he's obviously working on some things and right now, he's quick to get out to his front side," Farrell said. "He's a little jumpy, he's a little anxious, and when he's missed his pitch in the zone, there's been some mounting, I don't want to say pressure he's put on himself, but he knows he missed his pitch. That's part of dealing with the anxiety that sometimes emerges inside of a player. … We're trying to get him back on track. …We fully feel he's going to be an impact player."
|A.J. Pierzynski on slump: 'Somebody's going to pay'
|at 5:26 am ET
SEATTLE ' As the questions kept coming, A.J. Pierzynski's patience started dwindling.
Pierzynski was coming off an 0-for-4 performance in the Red Sox' 8-2 loss to the Mariners. He had left nine runners on base, while now claiming just one hit in 18 at-bats on the current road trip.
The catcher has seen an extraordinary low amount of offerings, seeing just 44 pitches in 20 plate appearances on the current swing.
'I'm going to do whatever I can do,' Pierzynski said. 'If he throws me a pitch I'm looking for in a spot where I'm looking for it, I'm going to try to hit it. I'm not going to go up there, just because he walked guys … if I take a better swing at that pitch and I hit it up the middle and there's two runs on the board, you guys are like, 'Wow, good hitting.' I'm not playing the game anymore. I'm playing the game the way I've played it for the last 15 years and not listen to what other people say anymore.'
The most notable example of Pierzynski's propensity to swing early and often came in the fifth inning, when he jumped on a first pitch from Seattle starter Erasmo Ramirez, who had walked the bases loaded. The swing resulted in an inning-ending ground out.
'He threw me the pitch I was looking for,' Pierzynski said. 'He threw me a changeup I was trying to hit to left-center. It was the same pitch I hit my next at-bat that I just missed to right. It was the exact same pitch. I 100 percent knew he was going to throw me a changeup, and I was 100 percent looking for it and he threw it where I wanted it, and it just didn't work out. '¦ Next time I'll take my chances again and I'll get it.'
Even with his slump, the backstop left the clubhouse with a dose of optimism that things would be turning around in short order.
'Look, I know I haven't hit the way I know I can hit,' said Pierzynski. 'Somebody's going to pay. Hopefully it starts tomorrow. I know we have better hitters than what we've put out there. And I believe these guys are going to get going and it's going to start tomorrow.'
