wanted: plants for okc fall swap
The Fall Swap is scheduled for noon to 3:00PM on Saturday, September 24 at the South Pavillion of Will Rogers Park in NW OKC at NW 30th and Portland. This is the same location as the spring swap, in "the castle". BTW- Sept 24 is a OU/OSU football free day.
It is still a few months away, but having a date let's us start planning what plants can be divided or dug up to trade.
Thanks to everyone at the Spring Swap who pitched in to rent the pavillion for the Swaps.
I am hoping to start some perennial flower seeds with extra's to trade. Right now the list includes balloon flowers, lots of poppies, blue bedder sage, lantana (seed from plants with flowers that start red, fade to orange, then yellow- wonder if the seed is true) goblin gallairdia, peach leaf campanula, and some daisy's. Trumpeter vine "volunteers" may be dug up. I am going to try peas in a fall garden, so there may be some pea seedlings.
I am looking for any perennial sage with dark purple flowers, perrenial forget-me-knots, lily-of-the-valley, and other perennial shade plants.
The list goes on.....
What are you looking for? What plants will you have available to trade?
See you in September. Unitl then Happy Gardening!
Here is a link that might be useful: map to Swap location
I'll be looking for any kind of the following seeds:
Tomatoes (!!! Any OP variety I don't already have)
Chile peppers (!!!)
Zucchini (!!!)
Alliums (especially garlic)
Peas (English and southern)
Hen & chicks
Any flowers/ornamentals that I can't screw up too easily. LOL
Basically, your average, everyday veggie types. I'm easy. My big passions, though, are tomatoes, chiles, and zucchini. I do feel a passion for garlic coming on, too, but this will be my first year growing them so I can't claim a full-blown passion yet. ;-)
I only have time to save tomato seeds this year. Here's what I'm growing and am/will be saving seed from unless something happens before I get to all of them (plants dying, etc):
Amana Orange
Arkansas Traveler
Aunt RubyÂs German Green
Banana Legs
Black Krim
Black Prince
Box Car Willie
Brandywine, pink
Cherokee Chocolate
Costaluto Genovese
Eva Purple Ball
Faribo Golden Heart
Fox Cherry
Garden Peach
Hawaiian Pineapple
HughÂs Yellow
Juane Flammee
KelloggÂs Breakfast
Martian Giant
Mr. Stripey
Palla di Fuoco
Peacevine Cherry
Pink Ponderosa
Polish Linguisa
PrudenÂs Purple
San Marzano
San Marzano Lampadina
Super Sioux/Super Lakote
Tiny Tim
Uncle SteveÂs Italian Plum
Wisconsin 55
Yellow Perfection
Can't wait for the swap!! Are we doing a tomato tasting thing, too? Assuming my plants haven't died from the heat or lack of rain by then, I can bring a lot of varieties for that.
mrsfrodo I'd love some blue bedder sage and balloon flowers. I do have a perennial salvia/sage with dark blue flowers. Can't remember the name right now - I'll look later. I just planted it this year but I'll see if it is making any side shoots in Sept. and bring you some if I can.
I have dug up a couple of Mexican Feather grass babies for the swap. I'll also have Silver Squill (succulent), maybe some lambs ear, yellow coreopsis, hen and chicks.
I'm not sure what I'll be looking for......cactus, grasses, succulents, perennial flowers for hot dry conditions....???
MrsFrodo - I have Salvia 'May Night' if you're interested, I could dig up a clump of it. Windsurfgirl: will have balloon (blue) flower seeds, or a clump of it. I have several stalks growing, and it's the tall, not the dwarf variety, if that's what you're looking for.
Plan to bring:
Acanthus seeds
Aquilegia 'Nora Barlow'
Campanula takesisima 'Elizabeth'
Adenophoro - Lady Bells
Hardy begonia (grandis; angel wing leaves green with red back; pink umbels of flowers in fall) (plants and bulbils, which they grow easily from)
Red morning glory 'Scarlett O'Hara' (I know I promised a pack to someone, but don't recall who--need to go thru my e-mail)
Maybe one clump of Passiflora 'Incense' - purple flowers (I grow it for the frits)
Purple coneflower (seeds; easy, just scatter on ground in fall)
Monkey grass (green) (plants)
Starts of moneywort (yellow green)
Maybe divisions of 'Sum & Substance' and 'Blue Angel'
Hellebore seeds
Hibiscus 'Texas Star' seeds (easy)
Joe Pye Weed 'Gateway' seeds
Hollyhock nigra seeds
Cleome (pink and light purple) seeds (very easy)
Fennel (giant perennial) seeds
Catmint (nepeta)
Purple ruffles basil
Datura seeds (plain white)
Iris rhizomes (Sierra Grande) (purple hemstitch) (pallida-variegated leaves)
Northern Sea Oats (seeds--very easy)
Native mistflower (purple flowers--butterflies love them)
Orange tiger lily roots
So, watcha got?
I'm looking for:
asclepias (of any kind, "AK")
aristolocheas (AK)
Pearly everlasting
Bee balm (AK)
Parsley (flat leaf)
Fennel (perennial or annual)
Aquilegia 'Mellow Yellow'
Perennial hollyhocks
Iris rhizomes
Lilies (except standard orange)
Dill seeds
I just found out I won't be able to attend the fall swap.
The Buddy walk for the Down Syndrome Association of Central Oklahoma is on that day.
Hope you all have a fun swap!
If anyone would be intersted in sponsoring us for the Buddy walk (my daughter has DS) feel free to send me a personal email.
Well, darn, Darryll! At least you're missing it for a good cause! (Can you explain the Buddy Walk and sponsoring deal to us? I've never heard of it.)
I'll have to email you about a possible trade before too long since you won't be at the fall swap.
I have a lot more seeds to add to my list for the fall swap but I'll have to wait for a few weeks for my trading to settle down and see what I have then.
I have a few semps to trade. The purple one Red Ruby and a couple of noid. I would like to trade for other semps. But I never meet a plant I didn't like.
I have a few of the ice plants. They would need to be wintered inside.
The sedums I have a few different kinds all winter hardy.
I started most of the sedums just after the spring trade.
I could make more cuttings of the ice plant if more people want them. They don't grow a lot during the winter. I started with 3 leaves late last fall. I put them out this spring and wow. It hangs over the pot and is about 18 inches around.
Here is a link that might be useful: For trade
I'll trade some semps with you PlanterMunn. I'd love the Red Ruby one for sure. I have several I can bring but don't know the names of them. I'll try to get some pics posted next week and email you a link. I'll be interested in sedums too. I have a couple of the low growing type - one a really pretty yellow.
I went out and looked at my tags. It is Royal ruby not red ruby. I was looking at some of the ones that I gotr from squaw mointian. They just aren,t ready to leave there mothers yet. I will have a few next year.
I am saveing a Drimiopsis maculata for you.My red yucca is kind of a bust. Just a few hanging in there.I am going to winter sow some seeds and see what happens. Is there something else I was going to save for you? My mind wanders at times.
I have a banna tree for orchidtrader. I realy have one to spare this time.
The plumeria you gave me is doing well. That other plant that looks plastic is doing well too. I never did remember the name of it. I bought another. It has very dark red leaves.
Hi everyone! I'm a newbie gardener from Norman. As I've only owned my home for 18 mts, I'm still working on the ideal garden that I have in my head. And, as I'm a grad student, I'm working on a budget.
Can someone tell me more about the fall swap? How it works, what people are looking for? I'm at the very basic level (i.e. I'm not sure what I could bring)...does anyone have any suggestions or hints? I would very much like to broaden my prennial flower base and learn more about plans that do well in Oklahoma, but I'd like to have something to contribute to the swap as well. If anyone has any ideas I would be most thankful!
My husband and I are planning on coming to the swap. Would love to do some trades! We were at the swap in OKC (at the library) in Oct. 2003 and had a great time!
I have quite a few seed grown plants: Heuchera Coral Bells, Columbine Wm. Guinness, Columbines purple, pink and mixed, Redbud tree seedlings, Gaillardia Goblin, Blue Mist Spirea shrub, Hardy Hibiscus (mixed colors), very small pink and white Obedient plant and very small blue balloon flowers. Keep in mind these are pretty small, but should bloom in 2006.
I also have unrooted Persian Shield and Magilla Perilla, if anyone wants a few cuttings.
Also check out my list for possible trades. If there is anything you are interested in, please let me know!
Looking forward to the swap!
Norman Brookie
The swap is an informal get-together. Most gardeners bring plants they have in excess or have started along with plants they are preparing for their gardens. Many people arrange trades in advance, but it is not required. However, listing what you may have/want allows others to make offers. It also allows time for plants to be started. Don't worry about not having much to bring. There are always "extras". Bring what you can and enjoy some gardening talk. Help with food/set-up and clean-up are always welcome. There is another there devoted to non-plant items you can volunteer on. There will be refreshments buffet style and hopefully door prizes. The most important and fun part is talking to other gardeners--- so one more is always welcome.
So see you at the SWAP!
WSG- I'm late getting seeds started (my work schedule has been rough), but I will get the bluebedder sage and baloon flowers started. Hopefully, they will be a dignified size before the swap. Best laid plans......... I am interested in the perennial sage and the yellow coreopsis. What else are you looking for?
Susan- I would love some May Night Sage. Would you be interested in daylilies in exchange? I believe they are maroon- I will find a photo and post.
PlanterMum- What kind of sedums do you have? Anything low growing.
Happy Gardening
The sedum's I have names for are S. Spurlum, S. Divergens S.Spuriun Tricolor, Stone crop rosy glow, S. Vera Jameson and S. lineare Variegatum. These are all low growers. I didn't keep up with the tags so it would be a guess on some of them. I think all of these are from 1 to 3 inches.
I know it may be a stretch to ask with all of us being gardeners. But if anyone buys lots of bedding plants and has starter pots two four and six inchers left over I could use a few.
Owie, I have some San Marzano and Roma seeds for you! I also want a good sampling of ALL of your eggplant varieties as I'm going to grow eggplants next summer. I tried this year, but my room was too cold and never got desired germination of eggplants and peppers.
Brook, I have several things I can bring you if you come to the swap. That's how I started out; not much to trade but generous traders at the swap really helped out! Now I am overloaded with plants!
Does anyone want Viburnum 'Summer Snowflake' bushes? I have several and can dig some up if there's a demand. They are approx. 2'-4' tall. Let me know!
Thanks, Tomato Worm, but I already have seeds for both of those tomatoes. You're still welcome to anything I have, though. :-) The only eggplant variety I have seed left for is plain ol' Black Beauty. None of my eggplants made it this year. :-(
Suzanne I would like to have one of your viburnum bushes. I started with a blank canvas of 1-3/4 acres two years ago and though we plant most anything we find I need shrubs and bushes. I have 2 of my angel trumpets set aside for others but still have two left. I am also bringing aloe vera plants as they are wonderful to have around a garden for first aid purposes and will winter over easily indoors. Mine live inside all winter. I also have a few other things, however, due to senior moments I don't remember right now what they are.
I won't be at this swap, but just wanted to say I remember you from the first plant swap in Moore at the library. I still have a bougainvillea and a pink tropical hibiscus with a red eye from you. That hibiscus is about five feet tall by six feet wide now, and has bloomed beautifully all summer. I just love it.
Dawna AKA Wolflover
Hi Dawna,
I remember you, too. I can't believe the hibiscus is so big! I've never seen one so big. We love the Cannas you gave us. My husband's favorite plants! They have multiplied like crazy and we have a complete 'fence' of cannas in the back. We gave some to a friend and now he's canna crazy!
Sorry to hear you won't be at the swap. Hopefully next year!
Take care,

There were so many neat images made that I decided to split this feature in two, with the second part appearing in the coming weeks. Enjoy!

Scott Scieszinski has been appointed the new National Service Officer for the Blinded Veterans Association's Region 7 Field Service Office based in San Diego, California. Scott officially assumes his duties on November 24.
Scott served in the Navy as an electronics technician from 1990 until 2009. In August 2009 Scott restarted his education with assistance from the Post 9-11 GI Bill. He graduated from the University of Phoenix in September 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology.
Upon leaving the Navy and enrolling in higher education, Scott worked independently as a computer technician for more than two years before starting his career with the Air Force as a telecommunications specialist in April 2011.
It was during his tenure with the Air Force that Scott first began his journey into the world of blindness. He was diagnosed with Retinal Cone Dystrophy in the summer of 2011 and became legally blind by April 2013. His vision continued to deteriorate, making it impossible for him to continue his career in electronics. He left his full-time job with the Air Force this past summer.
Scott graduated from the Charles Robert Soltes, Jr. (Long Beach) Blind Rehabilitation Center in December 2013. He credits BVA with guiding him in the securing of VA disability compensation and in becoming service connected for blindness.
Scott has a reputation for thoroughness, attention to detail, and good analytical skills. He enjoys traveling. "I look forward in my new opportunity to meeting, learning from, and laughing with my fellow blinded veterans," he said.
Scott and Sheryl, his wife of 33 years, live in the wine country of the Temecula Valley with their two dachshunds (German for badger dogs). He is a member of the Southern California Regional Group.

Your pharmacy's dead! Long live your pharmacy!
When I started work here in 2006, veterinarians were arguing over the impact that online pharmacies and big-box retailers would have on their revenue. Generic drugs for $4, retail loss leaders on preventives, and Internet shopping had everyone wondering if a sizable chunk of any practitioner's revenue should still be vaccines, flea and tick preventives, and drugs that compete with generics.
Pet owners today want the best of both worlds when it comes to veterinary practice: They want to be able to take your recommendations and prescriptions and shop for a lower price somewhere else. And other times, they want to fill a prescription or buy a product right then from you.For many veterinarians, the solution has been to develop their own Internet pharmacy or work with a company to do so. Internet-savvy doctors don't have to carry every product in the back room, exam room, or retail nook. That's the advice of Denise Tumblin, CPA in this issue. She says your online pharmacy will let you keep client purchases by giving clients what they want: 24/7 online shopping. Too many choices in recommendations can be a bad thing, but can you ever offer too many ways for clients to purchase products or pay for services?
And because Denise Tumblin could very well have you rethinking your practice inventory and pharmacy options, why not also dig into your client reminder system and practice software in this issue? Reminders are a criminally underused way of getting clients in for needed wellness visits, checkups, and flea, tick, and heartworm preventive maintenance. Your software can help.
But maybe you're really old- school. Maybe you think all the magic happens in the exam room. Well, our 2012 article contest winner, Dr. Jeremy Keen, has you covered. Go answer his eight questions in this issue. Make sure you're saying "yes" to every one, as his client communication tips represent simple yet oft-forgotten ways to improve compliance, bond with patient and client, and make sure you're using the most important tool in your practice: your medical training and your communication skills.
And, since it's Thanksgiving this month, I'd like to give thanks to you—our readers, our online users, our writers, and our innovative sources—who share ideas and insight with us every day. You help make veterinary medicine a rewarding and financially viable profession with your medical and business know-how. We couldn't do it without you.

When anti-bush jokes get really easy to do, a show like this had better
make sure it has something extra. When that something extra is kid
versions of political figures making jokes about the future they don't
have yet, it's just plain nonsense. Dick Cheney and George Bush are
done well but Dick Cheney mutters mostly. There's also Condoleeza Rice
who has a crush on Bush for some reason and Donald Rumsfeld who isn't
really that similar to Donald Rumsfeld at all. The democratic
characters rarely give their names so it's a mystery as to who could be
who aside from Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton.
The episodes have coherent stories but that's not nearly enough to keep this from sinking.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I am marking this as a "spoiler" only because of some of my comments of
the show's content, not to the content itself.
As I read the comments it is apparent that those Republicans somehow tolerate the show, but disdain it, while the Democrats seems to relish in its so called truthfulness. One reader even (so it seems) actually indicates that he believes these events did or could have happened when Bush was in grade school.
But as to the content as I see it, trying to be neutral, is that the group that made this series must actually be really Bush haters. In the Episode that I saw last, s02e03, it showed that the program must have been put together long before McCain became the front runner for the nomination; because, the other former front runners are all featured.
Another thing that caught my attention, was the use of add in closets. I thought that the series must have been made in Europe of for sure not in the U.S.A., because I know of no home the U.S.A. that does not have built in closets, and most likely in the homes of the artists.
As I watch the show, yes I do get caught up in it, I am amazed to see what must be a terrific desire of the writers to do what they can to embarrass our President. Sure there are problems as most American will agree, but that is no reason to be so hateful in public displays seen around the world. Perhaps the trend has now been set by this show and network, so that IF Obama or Hillary got in, would they continue to produce and air the same sort of "humor" about them?
Just one more comment on a commentator's remarks. IF there had been some sort of change in the election back in 2000, according to that writer, he was so sure that there would be a completely different acceptable president. Wow, wishful thinking on his part. As far as 911 events, I do believe that it was set in motion back when Clinton was president, and I can't see how if Gore was president anything would be much different.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Too many people are over-analyzing this TV show. It is funny and grasps the attention of its intended humor seekers. I'm a very liberal university student who appreciates the job of the presidency. I don't find the cartoon offensive at all. It tells the truth and if I can find just one more way to laugh at the idiot that probably most of you elected into office not once but TWICE, well then dammit I AM GOING TO LAUGH!. It's just a TV show, get over it. The show (without giving away any of it's hilarious jokes and good humor) is good for a few laughs. Be ye democratic republican or whatever the show is well versed for all.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Please note that there may be spoilers in my comments so look out
below, one and all! Lil Bush is pathetic. That is the biggest spoiler
of all, because I just gave every the entire plot and everything else
to do with the show. The jokes are all just plain terrible. Groan
inducing, vomit inducing, just plain awful on every level imaginable.
Whoever made this show should be banned from working on TV for the rest of their lives. I don't like or dislike Bush that much either way but the jokes on this show are just bloody awful.
Who can laugh at crap like this? We get it already, we've been getting these jokes for the last ten years, Bush isn't very smart and he talks funny and he's a megalomaniac. Can you at least try to put a new spin on it or come up with new jokes instead of the same crap we've heard six billion times on late night TV shows already? This show is garbage.
Avoid at all costs.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Lil' Bush is a cartoon intending to poke fun at our current ignorant
President as seen through his eyes in grade school.
I liked the show. Granted, it wasn't perfect but it's far from horrible. Most of the negative reviews are a bit misleading and unfair to say the least. One such review said this show is boring and not funny .let's take a look at some of the jokes from the pilot:
"Tonight's episode where I go to Iraq for some reason"-Lil' Bush
"Bad news on Iraq let's see what else is on"-Lil' Bush
Senior Bush: "You kids know that you aren't supposed to watch anything but Foxnews".
Senior Bush: "The focus on the terrible bad stuff that we're doing like torturing people and killing civilians and funneling millions of tax paying dollars."
There is no way somebody with a straight face (and who knows what the Bush legacy is really about) is going to say that's not funny. Abrasive and direct yes, but not funny? Give me a break.
Anyways, this show was fine. I love the fact that Cheney was made to sound like a damn penguins. The Vice President comes across as a rabid animal in his interviews so I found this representation of him to be right on the money. Condoleeze Rice being made to look like an ugly girl nobody wants is a great representation of the way she comes across in real life including the way that she talks (both in the show and in the news) manipulating details and ignoring facts that would condemn the failure of the President.
Lil' Bush himself is a great replica of our current disgraceful President.
I thought the jokes were decent and they capture the personality of the real life characters well. The only down point for me was the whole "Graduate" spoof with Barbara Bush and Cheney...ugh that was painful. We don't need to see that. The fictional account of Lil' Bush meeting Lil' Clinton and Hilary was also funny.
Other than that though lots of laughs here. The pilot seems to have gotten mixed reactions but I still haven't heard a great reason as to why people hate it other than they are pro-bush supporters or this show took over another show's time slot or comparing it (unfairly) to a show that doesn't even air anymore. Whatever. The second episode was funny too. Bush get sent to camp and by accident stumbles upon an Al-Queda camp. Instead, of eliminating the threat Bush instead becomes friends with the "terrorists" (in controversial fashion as the real wealth of the Bush family comes, if you want to believe it, from connection with Bin Laden's family). Likewise, the music video showing how the President becomes "decisive" (all the while showing the bombings he does all over the earth) was a hoot too. It's a good way of showing in a nutshell what Bush is about.
I can't complain much as a show it's OK and it provides good summer entertainment.
This show actually can be pretty funny. Even if you're one of the 30% of Americans that likes Bush. This show is funny because not only does it poke fun at Bush, but all most all of the other politicians that are frequently in the news. The uncensored version though, isn't very good. They add all this extra stuff so they can make seem all inappropriate. This show shouldn't be watched by kids under at least 12, though most won't understand it. The show has quite a bit of funny material, and then some things that are just stupid. All in all, this show is worth giving a try. If you don't like it, find something else. The Simpsons are always an excellent choice!

Maybe I'm just too easily amused. But as soon as I saw the commercial
for the show that said "Give me a pom! Give me another pom! What's that
spell? Pom-poms!" I had to watch it. I've only seen one whole episode
which is the one where they are at camp and they prank the Al Qaeda
camp. I loved their surprise attack, I loved the whole
"I've-gotta-hide-Jeb's-arms-or-mom-and-Dad-will-kill-me"...it was just
funny. Silly, yes. But to me it was funny.
Don't watch this show trying to get any deeper meaning, seriously. It's just funny, whatever you think of this administration. Like I said, I'm not even anti-Bush. I don't think he's the greatest, but I don't hate him, I don't bash him. So just watch it for the simple sake of laughing, nothing else.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Okay, I was skeptical, too. In fact, I figured that this would be one more Comedy Central time slot filler that we had to endure until they found another worthwhile show. After the first episode, I was thoroughly unimpressed. I chuckled a few times, but it seemed that everything that all of the other IMDb viewers said about the show were being validated. Then I saw the NEXT episode...the one where Barbara Bush tries to keep Lil' Bush from hanging out with Lil' Tony Blair because she's afraid that he'll grow up to be "British." It was brilliant. "No son of mine will grow up driving on the wrong side of the road," Mrs. Bush says (or something very close to that). The entire episode was about the two youngsters pursuing their special friendship in secret. And then the part with Lil' Barrack. Rice, Rumsfeld, and Cheney simply can't understand that they are building a house for someone who needs it without a selfish ulterior motive. Hey...wake up...this show is funny. It's also much, much more original than wanna be critics want to admit. I'll admit my surprise at finding out that I was wrong to judge the show too quickly.
I just recently rented the DVD. I usually never watch cartoons, and if I do it is usually the old fashion kind (Tom & Jerry, Pink Panther, Looney Tunes, etc.) but as I saw the box cover I thought to myself this is just too hilarious to pass up and indeed it is. A extremely quick funny sketches, this looney tunes version of the white house just about sums up the Bush years. It is politically one sided most definitely, but it delivers the laughs and it hit the target w lil bush. I just could not stop laughing. All the folks who have trashed this tiny toon, we know what side they are on and it would make total sense to trash it for they won't find the humor in it much less figure out all the inuendo its filled with. Lots and lots of subtle as well as in your face commentaries. Does this accomplish its purpose? without a doubt. Its way funnier than The Simpsons and for my personal taste, it refreshingly vulgar with lots of adult humor. Cant wait to see the other episodes. keep em coming!!!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I once heard that a majority of Americans get their news from Comedy
Central. I think it's for good reason. If you want real straight talk,
don't look to John McCain. He's got Bush's beady eyes mounted on
Cheney's head. Look for Lil Bush to tell the truth, with plenty of
jokes, animals being eaten by Lil Cheney, and general Bush-bashing. I
found Lil Bush to be incredibly funny. Sure, he's in grade school, but
he uses the same tactics to solve his problems that the president does
today. When his hot dogs get taken away and replaced with Middle
Eastern food for lunch, what does Lil' George do? He tortures the
principal and cafeteria workers, posing them in a frightening 'naked
pyramid' as shown in those pictures of abuse from Guantanamo Bay. When
Lil George can't pass a test on evolution, what does he do? He says
learning goes against God. When Lil Cheney has a heart attack and dies,
what does he do? Why, he goes to hell and scares the devil, of course.
Lil Bush isn't as raunchy as South Park, and not quite as funny. However, if you're a Democrat who likes the idea of Darth Vader being Cheney's father, then you'll enjoy this show. If you hold Bush on the same level you hold Jesus and your pickup truck, then you're going to hate it.

SweetSpot: Mike Pelfrey
Power rankings: All 30 teams!
1. Nationals
Most talented rotation in the majors, deep lineup, depth. Re-signing Adam LaRoche to add another lefty power bat will help.
2. Reds
Superb rotation could be better if the Aroldis Chapman transition works, bullpen is deep enough to absorb his loss and Shin-Soo Choo provides a needed leadoff hitter.
3. Yankees
I think they can stretch things out more season with a deep rotation, excellent bullpen and power. Remember, they had the largest run differential in the American League last season.
4. Tigers
Deep rotation, great 1-2 punch with Miggy and Prince, and Torii Hunter and Victor Martinez should improve the lineup.
5. Braves
Left-handed power, power bullpen and a young team that could improve from last year's 94 wins.
6. Blue Jays
Addition of Dickey adds a needed No. 1 to a rotation that could be dominant if Josh Johnson and Brandon Morrow remain healthy.
7. A's
Young teams that show big improvement are usually for real, and this team has a solid rotation, a strong outfield and power arms in the bullpen.
8. Dodgers
Have to love the Clayton Kershaw-Zack Greinke combo and an offense with big upside if Matt Kemp and Adrian Gonzalez come close to 2011 levels.
9. Rangers
I think the rotation is playoff-caliber with Yu Darvish, Matt Harrison, Derek Holland, Alexi Ogando, Martin Perez and Colby Lewis.
Have to replace Kyle Lohse, but they'll score plenty of runs as long as Carlos Beltran (36 years old in April) and Matt Holliday (33 in January) keep producing.
11. Rays
Still some holes in the lineup, and replacing James Shields' 220-plus innings won't be that easy, but underestimate the Rays at your own risk.
12. Angels
Oddsmaker Bovada.lv has the Angels with the second-best odds to win the World Series (behind the Blue Jays), but I see a rotation with a lot of question marks behind Jered Weaver, and Josh Hamilton only replaces Hunter, who was terrific in 2012.
13. Giants
I discussed my issues with the Giants here. I could be wrong, although our friends at Bovada only put the Giants tied for ninth in their World Series odds.
14. Diamondbacks
Their run differential wasn't much different than the Giants last year, and they've added Brandon McCarthy, infield depth and still have Justin Upton.
15. Phillies
I want to say we're all underestimating a team that includes Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay, but then I see an outfield of Darin Ruf, Ben Revere and Domonic Brown, and an infield defense that includes Michael Young and Ryan Howard and 30-somethings Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley.
16. Brewers
They can score runs -- most in the National League last season -- and if the bullpen regroups after 2012's gruesome late-inning efforts, this team could surprise.
17. Red Sox
There will be no expectations after the disaster in 2012 (the franchise's worst record since 1965), but I see a big rebound coming.
18. Royals
I'll buy -- but I'm not buying a playoff spot. Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas have to take huge leaps forward ... or the Royals could be headed for another rebuild.
19. Orioles
Last season's 93-win playoff team provided a beautiful ride, but the Orioles haven't added that big bat they need.
20. Padres
Young team is moving in the right direction after winning 76 games in 2012. Can rotation improve to push Pads over .500?
21. Mariners
Mariners have pursued a big bat all offseason but were only able to pick up Kendrys Morales, and he cost them Jason Vargas, opening up a 200-inning hole in the rotation. Looks like 2014 before Mariners can make a push in the tough AL West.
22. Pirates
Still no No. 1 or even No. 2 starter (sorry, A.J. Burnett is a No. 3 at best) and not enough support for Andrew McCutchen. One of these years, Pirates fans, one of these years.
23. White Sox
No A.J. Pierzynski, a declining Paul Konerko, good year/off year Alex Rios due for an off year. Then again, White Sox had a bigger run differential in 2012 than the Tigers.
24. Cubs
Rotation of Edwin Jackson, Jeff Samardzija, Travis Wood, Scott Baker and Scott Feldman could be competitive, but offense won't be.
25. Mets
At least Mets fans can dream of a future rotation that includes Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Jonathon Niese and Noah Syndergaard. Unfortunately, the 2013 version still includes Frank Francisco and a bunch of fourth outfielders.
26. Marlins
Giancarlo Stanton still makes this team worth watching on a daily basis.
27. Indians
Getting Trevor Bauer in the Choo deal added a much-needed starting pitcher prospect. Unfortunately, much of the rest of rotation remains suspect.
28. Twins
Kevin Correia, Vance Worley, Mike Pelfrey ... what, Rich Robertson and Sean Bergman weren't available?
29. Rockies
At least the Twins have a direction as they wait for young position players to reach the majors. I have no clue what the Rockies are doing, intend to do, want to do, wish to do or hope to achieve.
30. Astros
Welcome to the AL West, boys.
Twins seeking to add more pitching
Free agents Zack Greinke, Anibal Sanchez, Ryan Dempster and (maybe) Edwin Jackson might be beyond Minnesota's price range. But when you talk to people at the Gaylord Opryland hotel, they'll tell you the Twins are in on just about every other free agent with a résumé and pulse.
Joe Blanton, a veteran innings-eater who spent last season with the Phillies and Dodgers, is a prime target for the Twins, sources said. Midrange starters Kevin Correia and Brett Myers are on general manager Terry Ryan's radar, and the Twins are taking a serious look at the group of non-tendered pitchers who recently became free agents. That list includes former Washington Nationals starter John Lannan and erstwhile New York Met Mike Pelfrey, who underwent Tommy John surgery in March.
The Twins are also kicking the tires on veteran Vicente Padilla. Although some people in the Minnesota organization have concerns about Padilla's makeup, the Twins are intrigued by his ability to both start and relieve.
Minnesota also has been more active than expected in trade talks. Other clubs with excess pitching have approached the Twins to talk about center fielder Ben Revere and left fielder Josh Willingham, who is a particularly attractive commodity because of his reasonable contract and excellent production.
Willingham hit 35 homers and ranked eighth in the American League with a .524 slugging percentage last season, and he's signed for two more years at a total of $14 million. But unless Ryan is blown away, it's tough to envision him moving an outfielder and putting a major crimp in his offense. In the Twins' quest to bolster their pitching, they would simply be weakening one facet of the team to strengthen another.
Clearing the bases: How good is Scherzer?
Second base: Narveson out for season. Tough day for pitchers, as Michael Pineda will get another opinion on his shoulder and Mike Pelfrey went on the disabled list with elbow inflammation and possibly worse. Brewers starter Chris Narveson, however, is done for the season after it was announced he'll undergo rotator cuff surgery. Narveson was a solid fifth last season, but Marco Estrada is a nice replacement -- maybe even a step up. A fastball/curve/changeup guy, the Nationals originally drafted Estrada but never quite believed in him since his fastball is 90-91, and the Brewers picked him up on waivers in 2010. He pitched well last season, including a 3.70 ERA in seven spot starts, and threw well last week with five innings of one-run ball, with nine strikeouts and no walks against the Rockies. He isn't flashy, but he throws strikes and should be solid. We talk a lot about the need for rotation depth. Estrada will end up being a key to the Brewers' season.
Third base: CarGo-es deep. The Rockies lost 5-4 to the Pirates as the bullpen blew a lead in the eighth inning but the good news was Carlos Gonzalez finally hit his first two home runs, improving his triple-slash line to .278/.328/.500 (he raised his average 38 points and his slugging percentage 140 points in one night). Nice, but the Rockies will need more ... like 2010 more, when Gonzalez led the National League with a .336 average, slugged .598 and finished third in the MVP vote. That season was built on a .384 average on balls in play, third-best in the majors. His BABIP returned to more normal levels last season and his numbers fell. Gonzalez did start out slow last April (.228, one homer) before heating up in May and June, only to come down with a wrist injury in July that he aggravated again in September. Hopefully this is a sign the wrist is completely healthy and he'll start heating up.
Tweet of the night. A's rookie lefty Tom Milone improved to 3-1 with a 2.00 ERA with eight shutout innings against the White Sox.
His tweeting is boring as all get out but @tommymilone_57 is one hell of a pitcher. Outstanding.— Brandon McCarthy (@BMcCarthy32) April 25, 2012
2012 predictions you couldn't predict?
Los Angeles Angels: Kendrys Morales stays healthy all year.
Houston Astros: Bud Norris is top five in K/9 in the NL. We figured something good had to happen to the Astros, right? Norris actually has a pretty nice career K/9.
Oakland Athletics: Yoenis Cespedes is their starting center fielder by Memorial Day.
Toronto Blue Jays: Brandon Morrow makes the jump to elite starting pitcher. He's struck out more than 10 batters per 9 innings two years running, though his ERAs have remained ugly. We think this is the year his results finally match the stuff, especially considering his declining walk rate.
Atlanta Braves: Julio Teheran has more wins than Tim Hudson.
St. Louis Cardinals: Carlos Beltran outproduces Albert Pujols from last year. Albert Pujols was great last year, but not quite best-player-of-his-generation Albert Pujols. If healthy, it's not absurd to think of Beltran outproducing Pujols' 5.1 WAR in 2011.
Chicago Cubs: Matt Garza isn't their best pitcher. It'll be Ryan Dempster, who had great peripherals but bad results last year.
Arizona Diamondbacks: Aaron Hill will be good again. He was great with them in limited time, and Arizona's park is quite hitter-friendly.
Los Angeles Dodgers: James Loney will be a top-three first baseman in the National League. Many thanks to Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness for somewhat alerting us to this one. We just decided to take it semi-absurdly far.
San Francisco Giants: Madison Bumgarner is their best pitcher. In terms of ERA, he already wasn't very far behind Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum, and his K/BB ratio eclipsed theirs by quite a bit.
Cleveland Indians: They'll have the best pitching in the American League Central. We're banking on Ubaldo Jimenez, making a major comeback to something closer to what he was in 2010, and the rest of the staff displaying the good that they did in 2011. We're also counting on the Tigers' starters not being very impressive behind Justin Verlander, which is bold but not quite insane, and the pitching of the White Sox, Twins and Royals not being able to keep up with Cleveland's.
Seattle Mariners: Jesus Montero catches 100-plus games. The Mariners probably aren't going to compete, so why not try and play him where he'll accrue the most value?
Miami Marlins: Despite all their new acquisitions and the hype, they still finish fourth in the NL East. When you think about it, this one isn't so crazy. If Josh Johnson isn't healthy and maybe even if he is their pitching still trails that of Philadelphia, Washington, and Atlanta; even with Heath Bell, we don't think their bullpen is as good, either. Their offense might be better than some of those teams', but the Marlins were quite a bit below league average offensively last year and we're not sure how much Jose Reyes is going to make up for that.
New York Mets: Mike Pelfrey is the worst starter in the NL. Pelfrey's been pretty terrible two of the past three years, and now they're moving the fences in at Citi Field. He was far better in his huge home stadium, but we're guessing with the moved-in walls he'll be significantly worse at Citi. Here at YCPB, we actually don't think the Mets are going to be quite as dire as many are saying, even if they do come in last place in the NL East - but Pelfrey won't be a bright spot.
Washington Nationals: Stephen Strasburg has a 17-strikeout game.
Baltimore Orioles: Matt Wieters is the best catcher in the AL. A lot of people are so obsessed with Wieters not matching the hype that they didn't notice he became a plus offensive performer last year, to go along with very good defense. His taking the next step isn't that bold as predictions go, especially if Joe Mauer has to move off catcher.
San Diego Padres: Luke Gregerson is a top-three closer in the NL.
Philadelphia Phillies: Cole Hamels is their best starter. And this isn't meant to be a slight to Roy Halladay or Cliff Lee, but considering their ages and the fact that Hamels is pretty darn good himself, plus a possible boost from a contract year...
Pittsburgh Pirates: Charlie Morton is their All-Star.
Texas Rangers: Yu Darvish isn't their best starter -- but he's still good. And we think he'll be pretty good, we just think Derek Holland will become more consistently good, or Matt Harrison will put up numbers like his 2011.
Tampa Bay Rays: James Shields will have no complete games. Predicting someone to have no complete games might not seem bold, but it is when it's a guy who was known as "Complete Game James" last season. Shields did have 11 complete games in 2011, an almost unheard-of number these days, but he had no complete games in 2009 or 2010.
Cincinnati Reds: Brandon Phillips is the best second baseman in the NL.
Colorado Rockies: Jamie Moyer will have the best HR/9 on the staff.
Kansas City Royals: They reach .500. While their pitching won't be great, their offense will take a big step forward this year. Combined with the rest of their division being the Tigers and some dumpster fires, it's not that difficult to see it happening.
Detroit Tigers: They score fewer runs than they did in 2011. Yes, that's even with Fielder. It's not improbable that Jhonny Peralta, Alex Avila and Delmon Young regress quite a bit from their numbers with Detroit last year, and that Prince Fielder's production "only" makes up for the offensive loss of Victor Martinez in 2012. They'll still have a very good offense, though.
Minnesota Twins: Joe Mauer hits 15 home runs.
Chicago White Sox: Robin Ventura gets ejected more times than Ozzie Guillen. Look at the state of the White Sox. We'd get ejected too.
New York Yankees: Hiroki Kuroda leads the team in ERA.

Links: Bard, Chipper, Oswalt, Dodgers
- Check out Diane's great list at Value Over Replacement Grit on the pitcher who started games with the most different catchers in his career (Frank Tanana and Mike Morgan both started games with 42 different catchers). I like that Tanana worked with Andy Etchebarren, who debuted in 1962, and Todd Hundley, who last played in 2003. The pitcher/catcher combo that started the most games together is Bill Freehan and Mickey Lolich of the '60s/'70s Tigers. They started 324 games together. Here's that list. With the Mark Buehrle-A.J. Pierzynski tandem broken up (159 starts), the active leader combo is Chris Carpenter and Yadier Molina with 155.
- Chip Buck with three big questions for the Red Sox this spring: (1) What to expect from Daniel Bard? (2) Will Kevin Youkilis remain healthy and productive? (3) Will Cody Ross and Ryan Sweeney pay dividends in right field? I believe Bard is the big one. While the Rangers had success the past two seasons moving C.J. Wilson and then Alexi Ogando from the bullpen to the rotation, it's a very short list of pitchers who have done this.
- The Orioles got into a recent snafu with the Korean Baseball Organization and Jon Shepherd interviews Korean journalist Yoo Jee-ho about the situation that led to Orioles scouts being banned from South Korea.
- What will the Braves do when Chipper Jones needs a day off? (And he'll probably need about 30 or so of them, even assuming he stays healthy otherwise.)
- For all the excitement about the Nationals, nobody is talking about shortstop Ian Desmond, who could be one of the most important players in the league in 2012. Desmond's OBP doesn't make him a great leadoff man, but is there another option for the Nats?
- Crashburn Alley asks its readers: Which Phillies storyline are you following? (Insert joke here about picking the Phillies to finish in second place.)
- Mets starter Mike Pelfrey has been working on his sinker. Joe Janish believes that while the sinker is important, Pelfrey is at his best when he's locating his off-speed stuff. Mets fans get frustrated with Pelfrey and the inconsistent ERAs from year to year. But he's actually been a pretty consistent pitcher the past four seasons: His walk rate has been between 2.9 and 3.2 per nine innings and his strikeout rate between 4.9 and 5.2. Maybe an improved sinker will help, but I think he is what he is at this point. He doesn't strike out enough hitters to become an elite starter and his ERA, hits and home runs will fluctuate more or less on the randomness that happens with this type of pitcher.
- Oh, about that Travis Hafner-for-A.J. Burnett rumor? Stephanie Liscio of It's Pronounced "Lajaway" says no ... no ... no. After all ... maybe this is the year Hafner stays healthy.
- The Royals have extended Ned Yost's contract and Nick Scott of Royals Authority is pleased with this development.
- Minus Prince Fielder and possibly Ryan Braun for 50 games, Jonathan Lucroy will be even more important to the Brewers.
- The Astros signed ex-Rays outfielder Justin Ruggiano to a minor league deal and he could find himself in Houston's crowded outfield mix.
- Jason Wojciechowski on Yoenis Cespedes and what his signing means for guys like Josh Reddick, Seth Smith, Chris Carter and Daric Barton.
- Joey Matschulat on Roy Oswalt, Koji Uehara and those nasty "Oswalt wants to pitch for the Rangers" rumors.
- Jon Shields looks at the Mariners' starting rotation -- a rotation that may include Kevin Millwood.
- Blake Street Bulletin examines the Rockies' major offseason acquisitions.
- Jon Weisman talks to Dodgers assistant GM De Jon Watson about some of the young Dodgers like Dee Gordon, Nathan Eovaldi, Jerry Sands and the kids in the minors.
Stroll through the stats: Bautista, A-Rod hot
- Jose Bautista reached base 11 straight times before finally going hitless (with two walks) on Sunday. He has 19 walks in 18 games and a .506 on-base percentage. Yes, he's for real. By my count, the following players had more walks than games played in a season (minimum 100 games): Barry Bonds (five times), Ted Williams (five times), Babe Ruth (twice), Mark McGwire, Eddie Joost, Mickey Mantle and Jack Clark. Nice company if he can keep it up.
- Is it me, or is Alex Rodriguez quietly having a monster April that seems to be getting little attention? I think I've read more about Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia. Meanwhile, A-Rod is hitting .354/.492/.792. He seems locked in at the plate and the scary thing for pitchers is that he has 14 walks and only six strikeouts. A-Rod's walk rate dropped to 9.9 percent last season, his lowest since 1999.
- Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier have carried the Dodgers so far, but warning to Dodgers fans: The two also rank 1-2 in the majors in BABIP (batting average in balls in play) at .484 and .451, respectively.
- Nice to see the early resurgence from Lance Berkman, leading the NL with a .725 slugging percentage. As bad as Berkman looked with the Yankees last season (one home run in 106 at-bats), it was easy to forget that this guy posted a .906 OPS in 2009 and finished fifth in the MVP vote in 2008.
- Sam Fuld leads the majors with 10 steals, more proof of Joe Maddon installing an aggressive baserunning mentality with the Rays. Fuld had just 23 career steals in the minors. The team with the most steals in the majors, however, is Kansas City, with 30 -- and they've only been caught five times, for an 86 percent success rate. The Royals were eighth in the majors in steals in 2010, but just 20th in success rate at 70 percent.
- Oakland's rotation leads the majors with a 2.20 ERA. The Cubs are last with a ghastly 6.03 mark. Showing how much teams have struggled to generate offense in the AL, the six worst rotation ERAs all belong to NL teams. The worst in the AL: the Yankees, with a 4.62 mark.
- The Marlins lead in bullpen ERA (1.79), lowest batting average allowed (.189) and lowest OPS (.527). Philly's pen has allowed just one home run in 56 innings.
- Alfonso Soriano has six home runs, Tyler Colvin two and nobody else has more than one for the Cubs.
- The Padres are averaging 2.86 runs per game ... no team has averaged less than three runs per game since the '72 Rangers and Angels.
- Pitchers I'm worried about: Madison Bumgarner (10 walks, only nine K's in 17.1 IP), Javier Vazquez (11/16 SO/BB ratio, fastball velocity same as last year, which means down from 2009), Mike Pelfrey (34 hits in 23.2 IP, 12/13 SO/BB ratio).
- From FanGraphs: the Mariners have the worst UZR (Ultimate Zone Rating) in the majors at -16.6 runs. Jack Wilson, Brendan Ryan, Ichiro Suzuki, Milton Bradley and Ryan Langerhans all with bad ratings. So not only can four of those guys not hit, now they can't field either. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2011 Seattle Mariners!
Displeasure doubled in latest Mets sweep
The more things change for the Mets, the more they stay the same. After a complete overhaul of their front office, the hiring of a new manager and coaching staff, a rebuilt bullpen, two new additions to the starting rotation, and an Opening Day lineup that carried over only one player from the 2010 opener, the Mets continue to struggle.
Making sure things stayed familiar, on Saturday an old foe applied the damage to their dreams: Chipper Jones. Jones had 44 home runs and a .973 OPS in 215 career games versus the Mets coming into the game. He went 3-for-6 with two walks, two runs, and two RBIs, including his 45th career homer against the Mets, as the Braves took both games of Saturday's doubleheader.
It was only the latest development in a storyline that gets worse every day for the Flushing faithful. After losing seven straight games including two consecutive doubleheaders, the New York Mets have sunk to 4-11 overall. Do Mets fans have reason to be optimistic? Consider this: that 4-11 record is only one game ahead of the pace of the 1962 Mets, who began their year 3-12 en route to a 40-120 season. Losing two doubleheaders in a week was also historic. It has only happened five times since 2000 -- although the Mets did it once before, in June 2003.
To add injury to insult, Jason Bay lingers in Port St. Lucie with a ribcage strain, and their most effective starting pitcher -- Chris Young -- has been placed on the DL with biceps tendonitis after only two starts. Opening Day starter Mike Pelfrey, the pitcher who is supposed to be their de facto ace, has completed only 16 innings in four starts, and sports a whopping 2.34 WHIP and 9.72 ERA. The bullpen has been similarly ineffective, with three blown saves, a 1.70 WHIP and 4.79 ERA through 47 innings.
Now the bad news: Pitching may be the Mets' strength.
Offensively, the Mets have scored 63 runs, which isn't awful -- it's good enough for sixth in the NL. But their .237 average and .661 OPS with runners in scoring position suggests they could have scored many more, and that they just aren't getting the big hits when they have the opposition on the ropes. Mets hitters managed only two hits in seven innings on Saturday against Jair Jurrjens, then struck out five times against the Braves bullpen. Their lone baserunner came with two outs in the ninth, when Jose Reyes struck out on a wild pitch and reached first base safely as the ball trickled away from catcher David Ross.
On defense, Mets outfielders have lost balls both in the sun and the lights, and haven't yet figured out the quirky confines of Citi Field. Second baseman Brad Emaus misplayed an easy double-play ball during a key moment in Thursday's loss against the Rockies, and has looked tentative -- which more or less describes the Mets defense in general. The catchers have allowed 16 stolen bases and have credit for only one caught stealing, which came on Saturday afternoon when the Braves' Nate McLouth beat the throw by a few feet, but was tagged out when his foot slipped off the base.
Perhaps most disappointing has been the Mets inability to execute "the little things" -- especially annoying since new manager Terry Collins made fundamentals a focus from the day he came on board. Failed sacrifice-bunt attempts, mysterious pitch selections, and bone-headed baserunning has marked the club's ineptitude. The players look nervous and confused, except when they try to do too much -- such as when Daniel Murphy channeled Marv Throneberry and inexplicably attempted to steal third base in the sixth inning of their most recent loss, with none out and down by three. Murphy was thrown out by 15 feet, killing the Mets' only potential of a rally in the ballgame. Collins subsequently described it as "an error of enthusiasm." Casey Stengel, manager of the original edition of the Mets back in 1962, might have a more scathing description of what's happening with the Mets right now by asking again, "Can't anybody here play this game?"
Despite his club's recent woes, Collins remains upbeat. Immediately after getting swept in the Atlanta doubleheader, he said, "We're gonna go get 'em tomorrow and then we're gonna go home and win six straight and this will all be forgotten."
Though Collins remains positive, his words fall on increasingly deaf ears among Mets fans. After all, when the Mets began the season 4-7, Collins' response was, "We're one pitch away, and we're one swing away, from being 9-2, and we're not. But the next 11, we need to be 9-2."
Collins is correct in the broad strokes: If the Mets rip off a six- or seven-game winning streak, this 4-11 start is likely to be forgotten. But that's a big "if," particularly when a team is struggling to pitch, hit, field, and run. What's more concerning is that if the Mets don't turn things around dramatically, and right away, the season likely will get even worse before it gets better. Why? Because if you put any stock into strength of schedule analysis, the Mets are currently in their easiest month, with two of their toughest two coming in May and June. In July, they play 13 games against 2010 playoff teams.
The best chance for optimism is the hope that maybe the Mets will play up to their competition as the schedule gets tougher. But if the first fifteen games are any indication, it's going to be a long, long, long season for Mets fans.
Ten reasons the Mets aren't that bad
A few days before the season began I was out running with Matt, one of my editors. Matt is a Mets fan and I was having a good time threatening to write a "Why the Mets could be the worst team in the National League" post.
I never got around to writing it; I guess I didn't really believe in the premise. But we all know nobody thinks the Mets will do anything in 2011, except maybe Bernie Madoff; not one ESPN insider predicted the Mets to make the playoffs. Baseball Prospectus projected the Mets to win 80 games. The Vegas over/under was 77 wins.
So even though they lost Wednesday night to the Phillies to fall to 3-2, they showed some energy by rallying from a 7-0 deficit to tie it. I liked what I saw (other than Mike Pelfrey). In fact, I have 10 reasons the Mets may be better than we believe.
1. David Wright is still a really good player. He fell out of the "SportsCenter" highlights during that 10-homer season in 2009, but hit 29 last season. If he gets his OBP back in the .390 range, he's one of baseball's best third baseman, a step below the Ryan Zimmerman/Evan Longoria duo.
2. Jose Reyes in a contract year. All the skills are still there. He still has the speed and the rocket arm. He doesn't turn 28 until June. I feel a big year, back among the NL runs leaders … and a big contract in the offseason.
3. Angel Pagan is for real. He's a solid center fielder, a switch-hitter with speed and just enough extra-base power to be dangerous. You can win a division title with Pagan out there. For example, is Shane Victorino really any better than Pagan?
4. Depth in the lineup. As Baseball Prospectus pointed out in its annual, the Mets gave 40 percent of their plate appearances to hitters worse than league average. Among the culprits with at least 100 plate appearances: Luis Castillo, Rod Barajas, Alex Cora, Henry Blanco and somebody named Jesus Feliciano. This year, the Mets go eight deep in the lineup, with catcher Josh Thole hitting eighth. And Thole isn't that bad. Not much power, but a decent .357 OBP as a rookie in 2010.
5. Brad Emaus. My colleague Eric Karabell loves Emaus. Trust in Eric. Hey, he's gotta be better than Luis Castillo. Of course, my couch is better than Luis Castillo.
6. The bench. Lucas Duda has some good minor league hitting numbers, Scott Hairston can hit lefties, Daniel Murphy is back after being injured last season and he's a nice utility guy.
7. Potential in the rotation. I am worried about Mike Pelfrey after two bad starts, but the rotation could be solid with R.A. Dickey, a step forward from Jonathon Niese, a comeback from Chris Young and Chris Capuano. Yes, they lack an ace unless Johan Santana returns healthy, but all these guys could at least be decent. And if you have five decent starters, you have a chance.
8. The bullpen is sneaky good. Hard-throwing Bobby Parnell is ready to emerge in the setup role, D.J. Carrasco is a ground ball specialist with a rubber arm who won't give up many homers, Taylor Buchholz was really good with the Rockies before getting injured. I'm no fan of K-Rod, but he's better than a lot of closers. (But can we dump the nickname please? He really hasn't been K-Rod since about 2007.)
9. Terry Collins. Let's put it this way: BP reminded me of the incident last season when Jerry Manuel had Castillo bunt in extra innings against Cardinals outfielder Joe Mather. Collins is worth a win or two from a strategic/lineup viewpoint. Or maybe three or four.
10. Carlos Beltran's knees. I've avoided mentioning them until now. The Mets are due a little luck in the health department, right?
Add it all up and the Mets could win 86-87 games, and in the National League that could make them wild-card contenders.

Podcast: Neyer on Mike Pelfrey
Mets' Pelfrey diagnosed with tendinitis
Posted by ESPN's Claire Smith
NEW YORK -- Mike Pelfrey may miss a start Sunday after being diagnosed with tendinitis in his right forearm.
"We have to take our time with him and make sure we do the right thing by him," Mets manager Jerry Manuel said. "We'll do a whole thorough thing with him to see if it's worth him missing a start or not."
The tendinitis was discovered after Pelfrey underwent an MRI. Monday, Manuel expressed concern about the righthander after Pelfrey's pitches appeared to lack life in a five-inning, five-run start against the San Diego Padres at Citi Field.
"The good news is that there really wasn't anything structural," said Manuel.
Manuel on using Sheffield
Manuel had yet to hand in the first official lineup card listing Gary Sheffield in right field, yet he spent part of the afternoon explaining just what situations would lead him to remove the former Tigers designated hitter from games for defensive purposes.
Manuel, striking a serious note, said that it would certainly depend on game situations. Then, laughing, he said, "if it's 4-4 and he's driven in all four runs, he'll be in there."
LeFebvre grateful to Robinson
Padres hitting instructor Jim LeFebvre is one of the many second basemen to play the position for the Dodgers since Jackie Robinson. He may be one of the few who can claim to owe the Hall of Famer a heartfelt thank you for a personal gesture long gone by.
"I was a rookie in 1965 and I committed an error to cost us a game -- Koufax versus Tug McGraw, here at Shea Stadium," said LeFebvre. "It cost us the game and I felt terrible. I went back to the hotel as down as I could be and had a restless night.
"Then, at 10 in the morning, the phone rang. It was Jackie Robinson. I'd never met the man, but he wanted to call and tell me to hang in there. 'You're in the major leagues, you're a Dodger, you have the talent to be here, you're a good player,'" he said. "He told me he enjoyed watching me play, and not to get my head down.
"That was it. I never got to meet him, and never spoke with him again. But, boy, what class. I went to the ballpark with a little different attitude the next day. I never forgot what he did that day."

Throwing pitches, throwing darts ...
- Mike Pelfrey was ready for me in the Mets spring training clubhouse, as if he knew I was coming.
"Look at me," the Mets right-hander said one day last month. "I'm a pretty big guy." Yes, sir. Pelfrey is 6-foot-7. Thankfully, he is a rather pleasant, mild-mannered guy.
I didn't feel threatened, but my theory about young pitchers getting overworked was precisely in Pelfrey's crosshairs. Pelfrey was familiar with my rule of thumb that pitchers 25 and under are at risk of injury or significant regression in the year after their clubs boost their workload by 30 or more innings.
So I agreed with some of what Pelfrey presented. He turned 25 in January and is a big guy, so maybe he withstands his 48-inning jump better than someone younger and smaller. That said, I'm still not taking him off my list of the most at-risk young pitchers of 2009 based on the Year After Effect. There is a reason why the Mets had an innings threshold in mind for Pelfrey, a reason why the Yankees have treated Joba Chamberlain with kid gloves and a reason, going further back, why Oakland was very careful to manage the innings growth of its young starters almost a decade ago when I first learned about this growing trend: Too much too soon is risky stuff.
This year I red-flagged 10 pitchers -- and the list includes some of the greatest young arms in the game. Here are those pitchers and the innings jumps that put them on the list ...
- How much should those guys be worried? Over the previous three years I red-flagged a total of 24 young pitchers at the start of those seasons. Of those 24 at-risk pitchers, 16 were hurt in that same season. Only one of the 24 pitchers managed to stay healthy and lower his ERA: Ubaldo Jimenez of Colorado, a guy I said would be less at risk because of his powerful body type.
In the early years of my tracking the Year After Effect, the Royals notoriously pushed young pitchers to awful results (Jose Rosado, Chris George, Runelvys Hernandez, Mac Suzuki, etc.). The Pirates have supplanted the Royals as the worst offenders (Zach Duke, Paul Maholm, Tom Gorzelanny). It's one thing for the Mets to push Pelfrey with a playoff spot at stake, but it's hard to explain why a rebuilding franchise would put young starters at risk in meaningless games in September.
Last year I red-flagged seven pitchers: Jimenez, Gorzelanny, Ian Kennedy (Yankees), Dustin McGowan (Blue Jays), Chad Gaudin (Cubs), Yovani Gallardo (Brewers) and Fausto Carmona (Indians). Except for Jimenez all of them broke down with injuries -- some of them serious, not all arm-related -- and combined to go 29-32. None won 10 games. Previous blowouts that were red-flagged included Francisco Liriano, Gustavo Chacin, Anibal Sanchez, Adam Loewen and Scott Mathieson.
Verducci's method strikes me as terribly arbitrary. That doesn't mean it doesn't work. But without a control group -- without some basis for comparison -- we can't really know if pasting the photos of a bunch of young pitchers on the wall and throwing darts wouldn't work just about as well. And one thing I'm sure about: the Red Sox and Rays and Cardinals and Indians and Padres and another half-dozen (at least) teams aren't throwing darts.
Not exactly.

Very nice work and design, well done ! =)
Not yet. I still need to implement that.
<[B3 Hello there !
The first thing I need to do is to create the player fight actions, and ennemies after. So, I misspoke : of course there will be a lot of ennemies !
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
English please ! =)
But tracking by the way, interesting screenshots.
Why pay for tutorials like these when 3DBuzz have already done excellent tutorials for free? It's over here : Udn.epicgames.com
Remind-me a Pokemon. But realy good art and interesting monster ! ,)
Very nice, well done ! :o
Bro cool, story.
Tiens, tiens, tiens, un développeur français sur moddb ?
J'en vois pas souvent... :p
Bon courage sur ton projet en tout cas, il m'intéresse beaucoup ! Y'a vraiment de quoi faire !
L'empire Français vaincra !
Check the udk forum, on the udk may build thread they have already talk about this problem. If I remenber good, It's a problem with nvidia : so update ou downgrade your drivers.
(I have no problems with my ATI on the may build.)
Nice and strange. I love it ! <3
Very nice atmosphere !
Very nice music ! I love it ! :)
Strange tree....
Very nice concept ! :)
It's a WIP.
A game with zombies, AGAIN ?!
And no originality, so much to keep the mod for call of duty 4. I hope that you can improve the basic concept and tempt some novelties.
Very good engine, the global optimisation is good and features excellent.
Harf, bad lighting : the lights are too strong, and result it is too flat and thus without reliefs.
Only with photoshop, without extra image. I just use brush, text, layer and fusions effect. I can send you the psd, not a problem, pm me.
"Waiting to be processed" for me, I think the video will be available later.
Very nice ! :o
The track leaves in high-pitched to strengthen the feeling of fear and anxiety, also to give a feeling of crisis. Rather than an atmosphere heavy, and it is necessary to see here a crispante atmosphere, putting the player on nerves, to strengthen the monstrous and unknown side of the island.
Global changelist here :
Website here : Apb.com
It was not a joke.
Seriously : it was the real progress of the project. We have only one programmer for the project, it was the reason of the slow developement of the project.
The model of base is already very dark, what does not facilitates things, furthermore it would seem that normal map have some defects (lighting by the top in that case which is badly managed).
(Image updated, sorry, on my laptop the screen is good, because my screen is very brilliant, in the future, I would pay more attention.
No precise reason, just an audio test with a track in the ogg format, of more its weak length allowed to hear the function of repetition of the music.
Thank you nevertheless for the precision, in the future I would use tracks already dedicated to EXIL.
Thanks ! :)
I hope that it represente well what I want : a completely unbalanced chateau, without a real direction.
Sorry for the quality (Resized by moddb).
Hu ? Hehe...
But, for what reason ? :)
hmmm, moddb make some bug on my video, go to vimeo if you want more quality...
Nice screen !
But, if to inspire you is the citadel, or one surround similar, I have to say that on these images we feel a too repetitive side, that misses unpredictable, of part which stand out from the lot, the we indeed have something attractive, but regrettably fast boring to look, the same report with corridors by examples.
Even if the citadel is a stiff and well structured place, the player is going eventually tire of wandering in corridors which will lose their originality in the course of the game.

Maladaptive daydreaming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maladaptive daydreaming or excessive daydreaming is a psychological concept first introduced by Eli Somer[1] to describe an extensive fantasy activity that replaces human interaction and/or interferes with academic, interpersonal, or vocational functioning. It might be related to childhood emotional neglect or abuse that motivate victims to divorce from the threatening world and from their material entity. [2]

'OVERWHELMING' was how ex-Barrow AFC chairman Brian Keen described his reaction to being lauded by supporters and the club's new regime.
