Rep. John Mica (R-Fla) will chair new subcommittee dedicated to government operations.
Rep. John Mica (R-Fla) will chair the new Subcommittee on Government Operations under the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, full committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) announced on Jan. 2. The move comes as part of a larger reorganization of the committee that reduces the number of subcommittees from seven to five.
Federal News Radio reports that the new panel will oversee major agency functions, and "combines most of the jurisdictions of the Subcommittee on Government Organization, Efficiency, and Financial Management and the Subcommittee on Technology, Information Policy, Intergovernmental Relations and Procurement Reform."
In his new role, Mica "will continue his oversight of the General Services Administration, one of his responsibilities as the former chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee," the Federal Times reports. House GOP term limits prevented Mica from chairing that committee again in the 113th Congress.
The new chairmanship "will allow me to continue my work in pursuing government waste and inefficiency with very broad jurisdiction," Mica said in a Jan. 3 statement.
Rep. Blake Farhenthold (R-Texas), meanwhile, is the new chairman of the subcommittee that oversees the federal workforce. Reps. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and James Lankford (R-Okla.) will chair the other Oversight subcommittees.
"The American people have a right to expect that their tax dollars are being used responsibly and judiciously," Issa said in announcing the changes. "This team is dedicated to working tirelessly on behalf of the American people to create a more efficient federal government that better serves taxpayers."

Yes, I know all about the awkward, irritating, and otherwise unpleasant interactions with folks you'd rather not get acquainted with (believe me, I could write a book). I also know that buses and trains are filled with interesting people–Hello, Octavia Butler, August Wilson, Jacob Lawrence, Toni Morrison, Vincent Kartheiser, MC Geologic!–and offer plenty of opportunities to strike up a conversation. Just don't …

text: Benefits Five More Years of Work Needed to Be Retirement Ready By Rebecca Moore firstname.lastname@example.com | June 19, 2012 June 19, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – Most workers only need to work five years past age 65 to be ready to retire, a new paper contends. The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College (CRR) used the National Retirement Risk Index (NRRI), which measures the share of American households "at risk" of being unable to maintain their pre-retirement standard of living in retirement, to determine at what age the vast majority of Americans would be able to retire. The analysis found more than 85% of households would be prepared to retire by age 70. Nearly half of households are prepared for retirement at age 65, the traditional baseline assumption used in the NRRI. About one-quarter of households have to work just one to three years beyond age 65, and a portion of this increase would be offset by rising longevity over the next two decades. Only 9% have to work an additional seven years or more. The paper explained that the steep improvement in retirement readiness from ages 62 through 70 and the leveling off thereafter reflect the importance of Social Security and the pattern of its benefit payments. Social Security benefits increase by about 8% per year between ages 62 and 70, due to the actuarial adjustment before the full retirement age of 66 and the delayed retirement credit between 66 and 70. The researchers also noted that younger households tend to be less prepared for three main reasons: they are expected to live longer, which means they will need additional assets to cover a longer retirement period; Social Security replacement rates tend to be slightly lower for younger households because they face a higher full retirement age; and fewer younger households will be covered by defined benefit pension plans. Today's workers may need to work longer than their parents, but they are also healthier, better educated, generally have less physically demanding jobs, and can expect to live longer, the report pointed out. "In short, working longer is feasible for most households, and it does not mean working forever," the researchers concluded. The report can be downloaded from here.

Because, despite wondering about it for more than a decade, I still can't figure it out. First it was eyeballs. Then it was clicks. Then revenue-per-customer, then wallet-share and now gross margins. Price-earnings-ratios be damned.
We need Blodget, the former brokerage analyst, to explain it. After all, he made the audacious call back during the dot.com bubble predicting that the Seattle e-tailer's shares would hit 400. But unfortunately for him, he ran afoul of then-New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, who got him banished from the securities industry and sentenced to life as a journalist and blogger. (Blodget is now editor of Business Insider, which he founded.)
But Blodget long ago figured out something about this mysterious stock that defies nearly everything we think we know about investing. Amazon shares (ticker: AMZN) blasted off last week like one of CEO Jeff Bezos's rocket ships, soaring 15.75% Friday, ending the week at $226.85.
To be sure, Amazon also blasted through the Street's earnings estimates for the first quarter, reporting 28 cents a share, compared with the consensus estimate of six cents. The big beat came on the heels of a big whiff last quarter. So inconsistent. So Amazon.
ON TOP OF THE IMPRESSIVE EARNINGS, analysts were euphoric over the 1.2- percentage-point jump in gross margins, to 24%, after quarters of weak gross margins. It was the company's biggest margin gain in about 10 years. As we have stated before, the one thing we understand about Bezos is his resolute belief in heavy spending to sustain growth–even at costs that often squeeze margins and defy historical disciplines. His build-it-and-they-will come philosophy has served the company well, whether constructing warehouses, manufacturing e-readers, or building massive data centers for cloud computing.
Last week, the company credited the heftier margins to faster growth in its online marketplace and cloud-computing operation, Amazon Web Services, or AWS. As a result, a number of brokerages upgraded their recommendations. Goldman Sachs software analyst Heather Bellini raised the shares to a Buy from Neutral, and her 12-month price target to $300 from $182. Nomura Securities' software analyst, Brian Nowak, also has a Buy rating; he boosted his target price to $285 from $200. Bank of America Merrill Lynch software analyst Justin Post changed his rating to Buy and lifted his target to $270 from $235.
The valuations were certainly not based on P/E ratios. The shares are trading at about 90 times 2013 earnings estimates. Compare that to Apple aapl -0.7968448164842241% Apple Inc.

For all of the attention paid to media, Kindles and retailing, the most compelling part of the company's growth story could be its cloud business, which has been difficult to measure until recently. Nomura's Nowak values Amazon Web Services at $48 a share, nearly one-sixth of his price target for the parent company. He estimates 2016 (yes, 2016!)

National Gun Debate Hits Close to Home in Colorado Recall Vote
As the recall elections — the first of their kind in Colorado's history — draw closer, the race has swelled from a local scuffle into a proxy battle in the nation's wrenching fight over gun control.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York and the billionaire philanthropist Eli Broad have each donated hundreds of thousands of dollars. The National Rifle Association is buying political advertisements. New York's junior senator sent a fund-raising e-mail. And the election has attracted news coverage from as far away as Sweden.
All this over a homegrown campaign to oust two Democratic state senators who provided crucial support for a package of strict new state gun control laws. As the recall elections — the first of their kind in Colorado's history — draw closer, the race has swelled from a local scuffle into a proxy battle in the nation's wrenching fight over gun control.
Over all, both sides have dedicated about $2 million to the campaigns, most of it in support of the two senators: John Morse, the president of the Colorado Senate, and Angela Giron, who represents the Southern Colorado city of Pueblo. That might not seem large compared with the multimillion-dollar governors' races that can be commonplace across the country these days. But the money and the attention have transformed an off-year campaign that started with homemade signs and volunteers collecting signatures in grocery store parking lots.

2002 BMW Z8 Convertible 2dr Roadster (4.9L 8cyl 6M)
I've owned over 50 cars in my life, including some top flight iron. None has ever been the true combination of quality, style, power and fun-to-drive that the Z8 has been. I remember why I bought the car every time I take it out. Absolutely wonderful ride! I get thumbs up, stares and comments whenever I take her out. Great fit and finish, no mechanical problems and my BMW tech's have been wonderful to deal with. The best service anywhere! Gas mileage is OK, essentially 20mpg on the highway and mid-teens around town. I really love this car, but know someday I'll get the bug for something else and then may have to sell/trade the car. They are becoming harder and harder to find.

This car is not just a vehicle, but a
extreme thrill riding machine. The
performance on the bmw z8 is
terrific, swerving around corners, and
providing your body with an amazing
adrenaline rush every time you slide

Fun, but gets very boring, not very fast compared to my 550, original in style
though, thats what attracted me to buy it.

After 6,000 miles the Z8 still amazes
me. While its more GT than racer, its
cornering and acceleration are
fantastic. While it feels big to
drive, it autocrossed wonderfully. The
big stress is always where to park it
so it won't get dinged by some Bozo.
My 20 something childrens' friends,
(and almost everyone else), begs for
rides. Anonymous, its not.

Kitchen cabinet used as bathroom vanity?
I posted my question under the bathroom forum, but that doesn't seem to get as much action as this Kitchen one does.
I am thinking of using the same cabinet style and color as my new kitchen cabinets, and just adding legs to it to make it look more like a piece of furniture. My bathroom is off of the kitchen.
Has anyone done this? I was originally going to look for a vanity in maybe some antique or bathroom stores, but then thought this would be the easy way out (and also make the bathroom flow better with the kitchen).
If anyone has done this, would you mind posting some pics? I would love to see some cabinets used as a bathroom vanity, just with legs attached.
I used kitchen cabinets in my master bath. The only thing to remember is that they are a little taller and deeper than your standard bath vanity. I don't mind it, and I'm only 5'4" but some people may think it feels too tall or not have the space for the depth.
It's not uncommon, especially in families with taller people. We used standard kitchen height cabinets - not necessarily "kitchen" cabinets - in all of our bathrooms. Two of the four bathrooms have the same cabinets as the laundry room. All bathroom cabinets are on feet. My installer cut off the base of the cabs when they arrived and bought extra stain/glaze from the cabinet company (Jim Bishop Cabinetry) so it would match.
We have a powder room off the kitchen with no cabinets, so they don't match the kitchen. The kitchen cabinetry was custom. Below is a link of three of our bathrooms. I also used two three drawer dressers with bookcases sitting on top in our master closet. They are on sep. walls and also on legs.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bathroom cabinets
We did this but adjustments had to be made for the increased depth. Standard bathroom countertops are not deep enough. We had a simple shelf made to hide the gap, which turned out to be one of the most useful things we did in the entire remodel!
We love the extra height it gives. Even my 5' mother liked the taller height, which surprised me.
Brookhaven makes both kitchen and bath cabinets. I needed a pantry-type cabinets that were three inches shallower than standard kitchen cabs, so was able to order them without paying a custom fee. Their depths come in three-inch increments, as are widths, I believe. Height may be the same way. Don't assume kitchen places/people know about bathroom cabinet lines. The first two Brookhaven places I went to did not. Hope this helps.
As kitchenobsessed mentioned, many of the cabinet companies offer bathroom specific cabinets. They may be slightly different in specs than the kitchen cabinets so just check the specs. I also used "bathroom base cabinets"from Schuler in my kitchen to create a hutch. I wanted 21" deep base cabinets and the bathroom cabs came in 21 and 18" depths so they were perfect and I didn't have to pay a custom fee. Same height and door styles, etc as my kitchen cabs. The only difference was that the shelves inside were only 1/2 shelves.
Thanks so much Kitchenobsessed (and everyone else)....we are getting Brookhaven cabs for the kitchen and I asked our KD about using another one for the bathroom and he did not mention this at all to me.
I know we need one 36 inches across, but what is the standard size for depth for bathroom vanities?
allison your bathrooms look great btw! Love the mirrors!
I used a kitchen cab in my basement remodel, I'm just ok with it- doesnt look as furniture as I'd like.
I am doing first floors now, and debating using cabs or trying to find an antique dresser to convert for something interesting.

Results tagged ' Eric Jokisch '
Minor Matters – April 17, 2013 (Cubs Minor League Recaps)
At The Plate – The Smokies could only manage six hits, but worked seven walks en route to beating Huntsville 4-1. Arismendy Alcantara had quite the day at the plate and on the base paths. Alcantara was 1-for-1 with three walks, four(!) stolen bases, two errors (oops), and a run scored. Christian Villanueva had the big blow in this one going 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run, three RBI's, and a run scored. Justin Bour was 1-for-2 with two walks, and a run scored.
On The Mound – Eric Jokisch was outstanding today going six scoreless innings giving up three hits with no walks while striking out seven to earn his second win of the season. Zach Rosscup was solid out of the pen going two scoreless innings giving up one hit while walking one. Brian Schlitter had trouble with his command in the ninth giving up one run, unearned, on no hits while walking two.
At The Plate – After giving up fifteen runs on twenty-seven hits a day ago the D-Cubs got some payback today. Daytona scored thirteen runs on twelve hits with seven different players registering at least one hit, the Cubs also walked eleven(!) times. Zeke DeVoss got things started at the top going 1-for-2 with three walks, a stolen base, a caught stealing, a double, and two runs scored. Javier Baez looks to be coming around at the plate as he had a monster game today going 3-for-6 with a home run, two RBI's and three runs scored. Dustin Geiger continues to pound the ball as of late, he went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, four RBI's and two runs scored. Ben Carhart was 2-for-5 with two RBI's in the win.
On The Mound - The D-Cubs pitching bounced back nicely today. Yao-Lin Wang got the start going four innings giving up one run on three hits while walking one and striking two. Austin Kirk came out the pen today and actually went more innings than Yao-Lin in this one. Kirk went five innings to get the win, he gave up one run on three hits while walking two and striking out four.
NOTES: Kane County and Iowa were both rained out
Thanks for reading,

Minor Matters – April 12, 2013 (Cubs Minor League Recaps)
At The Plate – The I-Cubs were looking pretty good through four innings, then the bottom fell out, and that's putting it nicely. Logan Watkins continues to embody everything that Theo Epstein wants, as he was 0-for-2 from the lead-off spot but had three walks. Ryan Sweeney was 1-for-4 with his second home run of the season, two RBI's, and a run scored. Brian Bogusevic, and J.C. Boscan each had two hits in the loss. Edwin Maysonet only had one hit on the night, but he was productive as he had three RBI's.
On The Mound – Nick Struck did just fine tonight, I know the final score doesn't indicate that but he was solid. Struck went four innings giving up two runs on five hits while walking one and striking out three. That was the end of the good news for the Iowa pitching. Esmailin Caridad was hung with the loss, he worked one inning giving up five runs, four earned, on three hits while walking three and striking out one. Jaye Chapman was even worse as he gave up five runs on six hits while walking one and striking out one in just two-thirds of an inning. Cory Wade had an odd stat line, he went three innings giving up two runs on NO hits while walking three and striking out five. The I-Cubs are now 1-8 on the season.
At The Plate – The Smokies could only manage four hits and two runs but that was just enough for the victory. Matt Szczur continued his strong start to the season from the lead-off spot going 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI, two stolen bases, and a run scored. Jae-Hoon Ha was 1-for-3 with the only other RBI for the Smokies. Rubi Silva, and Jonathan Mota tallied the only other hits for the Smokies in the win.
On The Mound – Outstanding work all night for the Smokies pitchers. Eric Jokisch got the start and also the victory as he went six strong innings giving up one run on four hits while walking one and striking out three. Tony Zych, Zach Rosscup, and Trey McNutt all tossed scoreless innings to shut the door on the Lookouts. Trey McNutt earned his first save of the season and has yet to give up a run in 2013.
At The Plate - The D-Cubs didn't need much in this one, but they were able to score five times on just six hits. Taiwan Easterling had another solid game going 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI's and a run scored. Javier Baez was 1-for-4 with a walk, and an RBI, much better approach from Baez in this one. Stephen Bruno was 1-for-4 with a double, and a run scored.
On The Mound - Austin Kirk was outstanding despite fighting his command early. Kirk went five scoreless innings giving up two hits while walking four and striking out two, he improves to 1-0 with a 1.13 ERA. Yao-Lin Wang was just as good out of the pen going four scoreless innings giving up one hit while walking one and striking out five to earn the rare four inning save.
NOTES: Kane County was scheduled to play a double header in Wisconsin today but for the second straight day they were snowed out. They are planning on playing a double header tomorrow and Saturday to make up for the last two days. Ronald Torreyes is back! He was a week late in arriving to camp and stayed about a week late to make up for it. He has now been assigned to AA Tennessee.

8/16: Around the Cubs Minor League System
A quick recap of the Cubs minor league system on August 16.
The AZL Cubs only gave up three hits on Thursday beating the Reds 9-1. Anthony Prieto started and pitched three quality innings allowing no runs on one hit while striking out three. Carlos Martinez-Pumarino got his fifth win of the year pitching five nice innings in relief. He gave up one run on two hits while striking out seven in five innings. Jin-Young Kim threw a scoreless ninth striking out one. The pitching wasn't the only highlight of the night as the Cubs scored nine on 11 hits. Shawon Dunston was really good going 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs. Yasiel Balaguert had a nice offensive night as he had two hits, a homer and a double. Trevor Gretzky continued his great run going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Garrett Schlecht, Carlos Penalver, and Alberto Mineo all drove in one run. It was good to see the offense get going again on Thursday night.
Boise put up five runs through the first four innings of this one and that was more than enough as they beat Tri-City 7-2. We will start with our Albert Almora watch. Almora went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored. Carlos Escobar had two hits, including a double and three RBIs. Jeimer Candelario was 1-for-4 with a double and two RBIs. Dan Vogelbach and Wilson Contreras each drove in a run with Contreras going 3-for-5 with a double. Giosakar Amaya added a triple and walked three times. The other story of the night was Pierce Johnson who was just great striking out five of the six outs he recorded. Felix Pena got the win as he went the next five innings allowing two run on five hits. Nathan Dorris picked up his third save of the year striking out three batters in two innings. Boise had a very nice night all around.
Peoria only gave up three hits, but couldn't plate a run as they lost to Burlington 4-0. Willengton Cruz got the start for Chiefs and took the loss giving up two runs in two innings of work. Luis Liria and Sheldon McDonald each gave up an unearned run as they combined to pitch the next five innings. Larry Suarez struck out four and pitched the final to innings for Peoria. Dustin Geiger and Timothy Saunders each had a really nice game at the plate recording two hits a piece. Oliver Zapata, Zeke DeVoss, and Pin-Chieh Chen all had a hit to round out the offense for the Chiefs. Once again the defense was an issue as Peoria committed three errors, and allowed two unearned runs to score.
It started out as a good night, but turned into a tough one as they gave up four runs in the eighth and two in the ninth to lose 7-6. Javier Baez had his best night since moving to Daytona going 3-for-4 with a home run and a double. He ended the night with three RBIs and two runs scored as well. Rebel Ridling was 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored. Taylor Davis also had a double and drove in two for the Cubs. Christian Villanueva had been quiet for a while, but he added a hit and an RBI of his own. Robert Whitenack pitched the first four innings allowing one run on four hits. Matt Spencer threw two really nice innings in relief and was in line to get the win, but the Cubs bullpen couldn't hold the lead. First Scott Weismann recorded just two outs and gave up four runs and then after the Cubs took the lead again Jeff Lorick gave up two more runs and took the loss. On a positive it was nice to see Baez have a nice night, hope that is the beginning of a tear.
Tennessee only go four hits in this one, but made them count beating Birmingham 4-3. What else is there to say about Justin Bour. He hit his 16th home run of the season, a three run shot in the third bringing his RBI total to 105. Jae-Hoon Ha was 1-for-3 with an RBI and Elliot Soto drove in a run. Michael Burgess and Dustin Harrington each had a hit as well, with Burgess having a double. Eric Jokisch started, but only lasted 4.2 innings allowing two runs on six hits.

Blake Lalli also had two hits driving in one run and Greg Rohan was 1-for-4 with an RBI. Diory Hernandez and Matt Tolbert each had two hits and Jeff Frazier drove in a run.

8/10: Around the Cubs Minor League System
All teams were back at it on Friday. Here is a quick recap of each game.
The AZL Cubs lost to the Rangers 7-3 on Friday. Duane Underwood got the start not allowing a run, but walking two in his one inning of work. Brian Smith then came in to pitch two scoreless innings. The next three innings decided the game as the Cubs defense let down Ethan Elias and Daniel Adrian who combined to give up all seven runs, but only two earned. Elias took the loss. Alvido Jimenez pitched the last three innings striking out three and not allowing a baserunner. Shawon Dunston had a nice night going 2-for-4 with a run scored and two RBIs. Albert Almora had a hit and drove in one on the evening. Daniel Lockhart, Justin Marra, and David Bote all had a hit a piece, but it wasn't enough for the Cubs tonight.
Boise scored a bunch early and held on to win 11-8. Daniel Vogelbach was once again the story in this one hitting two more home runs. He now has seven in the last five games and has hit at least one in those five games. He ended the night 3-for-4 with two home runs and five RBIs. Jeimer Candelario also had a really nice night going 4-for-5 with two RBIs and three runs scored. Stephen Bruno and Marco Hernandez each added two hits with Bruno knocking in one and Hernandez two. Ian Dickson started and gave up six runs in only three innings. He also walked four, but struck out five. Hunter Ackerman and Rafael Diplan combined to throw the next four innings allowing one run each. Nathan Dorris closed out the game recording his second save giving Diplan his second win of the season.
Peoria lost to Burlington in Jorge Soler's first game with the Chiefs. The story that everyone wants to know is how did Soler do? He went 1-for-4 with two RBIs hitting in fifth spot in the order. Chad Krist had quite a night going 2-for-4, including two doubles and three RBIs. Yaniel Cabezas also had two hits to go along with a run scored. Dustin Geiger, Wes Darvill, and Pin-Chieh Chen each had a hit a piece with Chen scoring two runs. Michael Jensen who has been good most of the year struggled giving up six runs on eight hits in five innings pitched. Justin Berg struggled giving up four runs, one earned in two innings and Bryce Shafer pitched a scoreless ninth. This was not quite the way Peoria planned things to go with Soler in the lineup, but tomorrow is a new day.
Daytona took a 5-1 lead after three, but saw the lead slip away losing to Dunedin 8-5. Just like with Jensen, Matt Loosen had pitched well most of the season, but did not have his best stuff on Friday allowing five runs on seven hits in just 4.1 innings. Eduardo Figueroa pitched well in 2.2 relief innings, but Scott Weismann took the loss allowing the last three runs in his two innings of work. Micah Gibbs and Rafael Lopez each had two hits, with Gibbs driving in two and Lopez one. Elieser Bonne also drove in two runs for Daytona. John Andreoli had a hit and stole a base, bringing his total on the season to an impressive 50. Javier Baez continues to struggle going 0-for-5 and Christian Villanueva contributed with a hit and scored a run. Really looking to see Baez get going here, he is obviously going to have to adjust and I think he will sooner than later.
Tied at two going to the ninth Huntsville scored two off of Kevin Rhoderick and held on to beat the Smokies 4-3. Erick Jokisch got the start and pitched well pitching six strong innings allowing one run on five hits and striking out six. Trey McNutt gave up one unearned run in two innings of relief. Matt Szczur is starting to figure things out at the next level going 2-for-4 with a triple, a run scored, and an RBI. Logan Watkins and Nelson Perez each added two hits of their own with Watkins scoring and driving in a run. Jae-Hoon Ha and Justin Bour each contributed with a hit and Matt Cerda drove in a run.
Greg Rohan delivered a big two run single in the ninth to tie the game, but Jaye Chapman gave up a run in the bottom half as Iowa dropped a tough one to Las Vegas 4-3. Chris Rusin got the start pitching 5.2 innings allowing three runs on eight hits in a no decision. Michael Bowden pitched 1.1 scoreless innings and Chapman took the loss allowing the winning run. Blake Lalli drove in the other Cubs run ending the night 1-for-4 with a double. Tony Campana had two hits, including a double and Matt Tolbert had a hit of his own. Both Campana and Tolbert scored a run as did James Adduci. It was a nice comeback for Iowa, but still took the loss on Friday night in Vegas.

8/5: Around the Minor League System
Here is the minor league recap for August 5, 2012.
In an up and down game the AZL Cubs wound up on the losing end dropping Sunday's game 8-6. In his first start Duane Underwood struggled big time giving up four runs, three earned in just .1 innings and just like that the Cubs were down 4-0. Over the next three innings the Cubs offense would come to life scoring six runs. Ben Carhart was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Jacob Rogers and David Bote had a hit and each drove two runs as well. Top prospect Albert Almora was 1-for-5 and Carlos Penalver drove a run home. Leading 6-4 the Cubs turned it over the bullpen and after Brian Smith calmed things down, Ethan Elias really struggled giving up four runs over three innings. Steve Perakslis and Chad Martin combined to pitch the last three innings holding the Giants scorelss. After being down early and then taking the lead it is definitely tough to not come out on top of this one.
Just when it looked like Boise was going to cruise to an easy win a five run seventh happened to tie the game at nine. Luckily for Boise Daniel Vogelbach wasn't going to let this one slip away as he connected for a game winning home run in the top of the 11th. Lance Rymel had qutie the night on Sunday going 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBIs. Trey Martin and Marco Hernandez each had three hits with Martin driving in two runs. Izaac Garsez had his best game yet, going 4-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored. Wilson Contreras had two hits and scored three runs and Stephen Bruno added a hit and two RBIs. Ian Dickson started and took a no decision as he gave up three runs on three hits in five innings. Hunter Ackerman and Rafael Diplan did not have there best days combining to giving up six runs, five earned in just two innings. Su-Min Jung recorded his first win of the season and Eduardo Orozco closed it out earning his second save. Wow, was it a crazy game on Sunday, luckily for us the Hawks took the W.
Clinton scored two in the eighth to defeat Peoria 3-2. Michael Jensen started and pitched well allowing one run on five hits, while striking out four in five innings pitched. Sheldon McDonald pick up right were he left off striking out three in two scoreless innings. Austin Reed, however was not very good on Sunday giving up two runs in two innings and taking the loss. Not much happening on the offensive side as the Chiefs only had five hits. With the promotion of Javier Baez, Timothy Saunders was sent to Peoria and he ended the game 1-for-4 with a double. Yanel Cabezas had a double as well as an RBI. Wes Darvill, Sergio Burruel, and Oliver Zapata all had one hit a piece in the loss.
Daytona dropped another one Dunedin on Sunday losing 4-2. Christian Villanueva was the only Cubs player with a multi-hit game as he went 2-for-4 in the loss. Rubi Silva had a hit and drove in John Andreoli who also had a run scored. Rebel Ridling, Rafael Lopez, and Micah Gibbs all had one hit, with Ridling scoring a run. PJ Francescon started and gave up two runs in two innings, striking out four. Frank Del Valle also gave up two runs, but did strike out five in his four innings of relief. Ryan Searl thew the last two innings not allowing a run and striking one out. Javier Baez struggled again in his second game with Daytona going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. It is not the way wanted to start and it is not the way Daytona wanted things to go this weekend.
After being up early, Tennessee tied it in the seventh, only to lose it in the bottom of the ninth 5-4. Jutin Bour had a nice game going 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI, bringing his season total to 92. Nelson Perez added two hits including his fifth home run of the season and Matt Cerda also had two hits on the evening. Logan Watkins and Nate Samson each had a hit and Watkins scored a run and stole his 21st base of the season. Eric Jokisch started, but did not factor in the decision pitching five innings and giving up three runs, while striking out six. Brian Schlitter took the loss giving up the winning run in the bottom of the ninth.
Iowa gave up one in each the eighth and the ninth to lose to Reno 2-1. The bright spot on Sunday was Casey Coleman. He pitched outstanding going six innings allowing no runs on two hits and striking out eight. Jay Jackson pitched a scoreless seventh striking out one batter. Marcus Hatley and Esmailin Caridad each gave up a run and Caridad took the loss. Well it happened to Iowa again on Sunday, this time losing Brett Jackson and Josh Vitters to the big club. Diory Hernandez was 1-for-3 with the Cubs only RBI. Greg Rohan stayed hot going 1-for-4 in the loss. There isn't much exciting happening in Iowa right now and with the departures of Jackson, Vitters, Welington Castillo, and Adrian Cardenas thing probably will continue to be a struggle.

Minor League Monthly: July 2012
Here is a recap for the month of July for the Cubs minor league system. There are a lot of players who had a good July, but I limited it to a player of the month/pitcher of the month at each level.
AZL Cubs: 21-10 (1st place)
July Record: 14-8
The Cubs had a pretty good month of July to go along with a great start to the season and they are in first place as of today. There were a lot of exciting things happening in Mesa, mainly the debut's of both Albert Almora and Jorge Soler. There were other exciting debut's as pitchers Dillon Maples and 2012 draftees Paul Blackburn (56 overall) and Ryan McNeil (3rd round) started there professional careers. Finally Daniel Vogelbach just crushed the ball before being promoted to Boise. He left the Cubs hitting .324 with seven home runs, 12 doubles, and 31 RBIs.

The 22-year old third baseman was drafted in the 35th round of this years draft out of Stetson University. This month he hit a robust .400. with one home run, six doubles, 14 runs scored, and 12 RBIs. He slugged .550 and had an OBP of .486 bringing his OPS to 1.036.
Pitcher of the Month: Carlos Martinez-Pumarino
In his first year in the organization, the 21 year-old pitcher has been very good. This month Martinez-Pulmarino was 1-0 with a 1.15 ERA. He pitched 15.2 innings in six games, all but one out of the bullpen. He struck out 14, allowed only five hits and walked four in July.

At only 19-years old the infielder has impressed with the bat thus far at Boise and July was no different. He hit .330 with four home runs, four triples, and three doubles. Amaya knocked in 13 and scored an impressive 24 runs while stealing six bags. He had an OBP of .407 and slugged .567 brining his OPS to .974.
Pitcher of the Month: Tayler Scott
The 20-year old starting pitcher had quite a nice July. He started six games and went 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA. In his 30 innings pitched he gave up 21 hits, walked 14, and struck out 20. Scott was drafted last year in the fifth round out of Notre Dame Prep High School in Scottsdale, AR.
Peoria Chiefs: 15-22 (7th place second half)
July Record: 12-16
July was not the best of months for the Chiefs and they will have some work to do to get back in the playoff picture. Catcher Chadd Krist came up from Boise and has continued to hit and Pin-Chieh Chen has been on quite a tear over the last couple weeks. Peoria will look to have a good August and make up a lot of ground in hopes to get back in the race.
Player of the Month: Javier Baez
Wow did the 2011 first round pick have a great month. The 19-year old shortstop hit .368 with with seven home runs, three triples, and six doubles. Baez drove in 20 runs, scored 21, and stole eight bags. His OPS for the month was 1.076 as he slugged an impressive .679 and had an OBP of .397. It was quite the month for the highly touted Cubs prospect.
Pitcher of the Month: Joseph Zeller
Zeller, 24 pitched well in July going 2-2 with a 1.65 ERA in six appearances, five starts. He pitched 32.2 innings giving up 32 hits, walking seven, and striking out 14. He isn't a huge strikeout pitcher and he gave up a hit an inning, but it is impressive to see the ERA as low as it was in the month.
Daytona Cubs: 18-21 (5th place second half)
July Record: 12-17
Daytona didn't have their best month, but there were some highlights to go along with the disappointing record. Matt Szczur was promoted to Tennessee after Jae-Hoon Ha was injured. Szczur had been one of Daytona's most consistent performers throughout the year and it will take some adjustments for them to get back on track without him. The Cubs will have to make up a lot of ground in August as they sit six games back going into today.
Player of the Month: Ronald Torreyes
At only 19-years old the second baseman is starting to really hit. After a disappointing first couple months Torreyes had a very good June and followed it with a nice July. He hit .333 with one home run, two triples, and seven doubles. He also drove in 18, scored 16, and stole seven bases. Torreyes was brought over in the Sean Marshall deal.
Pitcher of the Month: Matt Loosen
Loosen went 4-1 in six starts in July. He had an ERA of 3.08 throwing 38 innings, giving up 26 hits, walking 13, and striking out 35.
Tennessee Smokies: 17-20 (4th place second half)
July Record: 12-16
A sub .500 record in July wasn't what the Smokies were looking for as they currently are 5.5 games behind the division leader. The month was highlighted when Matt Szczur was promoted to Tennessee. The reason he was promoted was because of an unfortunate accident when Jae-Hoon Ha got a concussion. The Smokies need to got hot in order to make a run at the division.
Player of the Month: Justin Bour
The 24-year old first baseman has had a good season and July was no different. He hit .337 with four home run and eight double. Bour drove in an impressive 25 runs which brings him to 84 on the season. He slugged .529 and had an OBP of .381 with an OBP of .909. It will be fun to watch Bour's pursuit of 100 RBIs.
Pitcher of the Month: Eric Jokisch
Jokisch, 23 was 4-1 with a 2.57 ERA in five July starts. In 28 innings pitched he struck out 2o, walked eight, and surrendered 21 hits. We all know the Cubs system is light on arms, but Jokisch has had a pretty good season up to this point.
Iowa Cubs: 42-69 (Last place)
July Record: 8-20
Things don't get much worse than an 8-20 month, but maybe it is when August is starting and you are 24 games back. It was going to be tough when Rizzo was brought up, but I don't think anyone was expecting a month like this. There weren't too many bright spots, but there were some. Josh Vitters had a good month, not great, but good. James Adduci came up from Tennessee and did well in the 18 games he played in compiling and OPS of .999. All Iowa can hope for now is to end the season on a high note.
Player of the Month: Dave Sappelt
The 25-year old outfielder had his best month since coming over from Reds. Sappelt hit .317 in July hitting one home run, one triple, and eight doubles. He scored 16 runs and drove in 12 while stealing eight bases. He got on base at a .368 clip and slugged .442. It was nice to see Sappelt have a good month and my guess is we will see him in Chicago at some point this season.
Pitcher of the Month: Esmailin Caridad
I bet you didn't expect to hear that name again, but he had quite an impressive month. In 18.2 innings Caridad gave up 14 hits, walked 7, and struck out 22 as his ERA stands at 0.92 for the month of July. if Caridad can continue we might see him again in big leagues.
It wasn't the best month for the Cubs farm system, but there were some good things as well as some really exciting things. There were a lot of hitters and pitchers who could have been included and narrowing it down to only one per level was tough. Hope you like it.
Thanks for Reading,
