Cards wrap up road trip against Giants' Cain
One more day.
That's all the Cardinals have left on a rough season-opening road trip out west that includes a series loss in Arizona and now a rubber game against the Giants on Sunday at AT&T Park.
"These guys are all anxious to get back to St. Louis," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.
Beating the Giants on Sunday to return to St. Louis with a 3-3 record would be a nice boost. But while it will be nice to be back at Busch Stadium regardless of Sunday's outcome, the Cardinals' challenging start to the season continues against the division-rival Reds and Brewers in St. Louis, before the Cardinals travel to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
Oh, and before all that, there's Sunday's date with Giants righty Matt Cain.
"We don't draw it up. We just have to compete with what they give us," Matheny said of the early schedule. "It's a great test, no question about it. You want to have everybody clicking early on and getting off to a good start, but we also understand it's a long season."
While the Cardinals can't wait to eventually get home, Cain will be happy to make his 2013 debut at AT&T Park, where he is 47-38 lifetime. The right-hander said he was satisfied with his season debut in Los Angeles, where he struck out eight Dodgers in six shutout innings, "except for toward the end of the game. I'd like to cut down on my pitches, especially in the first inning. That's just how you gotta do it some days."
Cardinals: Wainwright returns to mound
Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright makes his second start of the season Sunday, looking to build off a so-so debut against the D-backs. He struggled to find his pitches in the middle innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on 11 hits in six innings, but said he felt better than his line would suggest.
"If I take that stuff out there every time, we're going to be just fine," he said.
Wainwright was 1-1 with a 2.13 ERA in two starts against the Giants last season, though current San Francisco hitters are hitting a combined .330 against him.
• Allen Craig has a four-game hitting streak.
Giants: What offensive worries?
The Giants aren't built to win games based solely on their offense, but that doesn't mean a couple of lackluster performances won't bring questions regarding San Francisco's bats. Although the Giants are averaging only 2.4 runs through their first five games -- including hitting only .095 with runners in scoring position -- manager Bruce Bochy said he isn't concerned.
"Small sample size. It's so early in the season," Bochy said. "You look across the league right now and there are some pitchers throwing some great games and I think sometimes it takes time to get the hitting clicking. Some guys get off to a slow start, but as they get in a groove I think you'll see us be more consistent with runners in scoring position."
• Hunter Pence (.357) and Buster Posey (.286) each extended their hitting streaks to four games Saturday.
Worth noting
• Pence has the same amount of hits (11) as strikeouts in 38 career at-bats against Wainwright.
• Cain's last outing against the Cardinals was his Game 7 victory in last year's National League Championship Series.
• Carlos Beltran is a .389 career hitter (7-for-18) against Cain.

Giancarlo Stanton's two-run homer off Jordan Zimmermann tied the game in the sixth.
Game in a nutshell: Running on fumes after an early-morning flight from Atlanta to Miami, the Nationals came out of the gates strong, taking an early 3-1 lead behind a two-run double from Ryan Zimmerman and the first career home run from Jordan Zimmermann. Zimmermann also cruised through his first five innings on the mound. Then he hit a wall in the sixth. He served up a two-run bomb to Giancarlo Stanton, then let the go-ahead run score on two more hits and a sacrifice fly. The Nationals couldn't rally late against Carlos Zambrano or the Marlins bullpen.
Hitting highlight: You knew it was only a matter of time before Ryan Zimmerman started getting hot at the plate. Sure enough, the Face of the Franchise is starting to show signs of it. His two-run doubleRead more »

Papelbon in a "non-save" situation (8-4). If the Mets lose, then no matter what the Nats will be in first place with an above .500 road trip when they get home. So it's already good.And that's the worst case! Hit the beach, don't drink too much, get some rest and take the next two. That would be a GREAT road trip.
- Bzl. - May 28, 2012 at 8:15 PM
Can't win 'em all? You figure the Nats were at a huge disadvantage given the past 20 hours, but they made a game of it.PS While I know he's had some big hits, is there any more of a Sure Thing in baseball than Ankiel-with-a-K wiffing on a high fastball?

Tyler Moore sent down and Solano called up.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 28, 2012 at 8:26 PM
You don;t win many when you hang sliders to Stanton. He was playing with fire all three times against ramerez, and they final made him pay.They looked defalted after Caughlin made the great catch against harper that saved at least 1 run. The rest of the hitters went weakly into the night for the final 8 outs. Speaking of working with little sleep many of our military have done that for years, and I thank them, and I know they would never use lack of sleep for a reason to not do their duty.Way to go Men and Women.
- peric - May 28, 2012 at 8:26 PM
.326 with nine homers over his last 10 games.Uhh Mark, Kilgore-like in his need for an editor? You may be thinking of Corey Brown not Ryan Zimmerman with the nine homers?You might wish to make a correction.

- peric - May 28, 2012 at 8:30 PM
Tyler Moore sent down and Solano called up.As I suggested over on NationalsProspects.com. Solano is a right handed bat who is a good defensive catcher and has been known to play other positions like second base. I expect we might see Brown starting in CF soon … Ankiel is Ankiel, usually strikes out trying to hit one out of the park. Time for Rick to take a seat next to Jayson.
- Gonat - May 28, 2012 at 8:34 PM
peric, Solano isn't going to play 2nd base here. He's here to backup at catcher. Its great to know he can do many things but will only play catcher.

Sure enough, the Face of the Franchise is starting to show signs of it. His two-run double in the fifth raised his average to .326 with nine homers over his last 10 games.Ryan Zimmerman is hitting .254 with 2 home runs … Still think Mark was thinking of Corey Brown …

Actually I have dyslexia and the mixing of letters has been a problem all my lfe (my typing is no better either). Just want people to know I do not type wrong on purpose. I do reread the comments and often catch it and correct it, but often times I do not catch it, and I have learned to live with it.That being said I still hate the lets not swing at strikes and swing at ball approach too many of our hitters have. You have to get lucky to get a hit with that formula. Someone said you can't win them all. I know that I just want to win all that are close. I will take a 10-0 loss, but once winning after 5 I expect a win everytime. (likewise I expect a loss everytime if losing after 5, so it does even up).I just hate losin )sort of like Michael Jordan, he said he was pissed after every loss when playing, and even more now as an owner).

Thanks for the road trip perspective, NatsLady. Tomorrow is another day, eh?Also, I'm with NatsLady (earlier thread) and Manassas (this thread) in remembering and thanking service members today.
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 9:01 PM
Mark, with the draft coming soon, is there any word on what areas Rizzo is scouting? HS/College? Pitchers? Or is that hush-hush?
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 9:05 PM
Manassas, we all hate losing. But once JZ lost the lead and Coglan caught that ball, it was over. Nice to see Henry pitch well and not lose his cool, and if Perry could be relied on to pitch like he has his last few outings we wouldn't need to trade for a reliever. Bernadina did not make a base running error (IMO). He had a good at-bat and got on base. If the ball had dropped and he only got to third there would have been a-yelling and a-screaming. He figured (like the rest of us) that Cog would not get to that ball. Anyway, he was still on 2nd with only 1 out.
- Joe Seamhead - May 28, 2012 at 9:25 PM
Well, NatsLady, I'd agree with you about Bernadina, but then we'd both be wrong,(IMO), but one of the great things about baseball is that six people can see the same play,and will have six different opinions as to what happened. From my perspective if Coughlin doesn't make the catch, with his speed Bernadina would score if he has just taken a couple of steps off the bag. He went too far off to tag up. Roger did have a good at-bat though. In the past three weeks the most fundamentally sound base runner on this club has been a 19 kid that still has basic coaching that he has received still in the forefront of his brain.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 28, 2012 at 9:35 PM
Bernie would have scored if it dropped, so he could wait up at the base and tag up just in case it was caught. I would agree that it was a base running mistake, but not a game changing one. The slider that hung is one.Sliders can be the hardest to hit if pitched well, and the easiest to hit if pitched poorly, that is the gamble with a slider. He got Stanton earlier to groud to pitcher on a good slider.
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 9:39 PM
Marlins are taking the defense over offense approach to the outfield (except Giancarlo in RF).Coghlan = batting .133 and average arm but HUGE range (per Fangraphs)Petersen = batting .205 and slightly above average arm and good range.I have a feeling Ozzie is smarter than the average bear…
- waddu eye no - May 28, 2012 at 9:40 PM

- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 9:43 PM
Well, putting it that way, if you are relying on Bernadina to win the game for ya…Yeah, JZ said he made two mistake pitches that cost him the game. Two pitches to good hitters. On a day when everyone else was tired, and couldn't really pick him up. I wish he hadn't done that, but there you are.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me - May 28, 2012 at 10:06 PM
The Marlins' Z-Man sounds pretty impressed:"Man, I'll tell you what, I found out why they're in first place," Zambrano said. "Those kids can hit. They're good. The only mistake I made today was to Zimmermann. Otherwise I was in control. I made some good pitches that they hit."
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 10:10 PM
LOL JZ on his homer:Adam Kilgore @AdamKilgoreWPJordan Zimmermann didn't know at first if his homer had cleared the fence: "There's so many bright objects out there."
- Joe Seamhead - May 28, 2012 at 10:23 PM
No, Bernadina didn't cost us the game, or even a run, as it turned out because Zimm hit into a double play anyway. In the past few weeks we have had a handful of screw ups, resulting in lost runs scored,and bases gained,by going too far and not be able to tag up. As to counting on Bernie "to win the game for ya," yeah, I expect him to play good fundamental baseball when he's called upon. Like Ankiel, he has a few things expected of him to remain on the team. If either of them don't continue to meet them then, as fringe players, they will be gone. It's the way of the game for successful teams. And yes, I think with his poor performance at the plate that Rick Ankiel is a fringe player that needs to step it up.He can't afford to have guffaws like he had today in CF. When Morse, and then Werth, returns, that OF is getting crowded, and if Brown shines,(a big 'if'), at least one outfielder will have to go.
- Gonat - May 28, 2012 at 10:23 PM
The Pirates have called up Doug Slaten. What are they thinking?
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 28, 2012 at 10:26 PM
We ddidn't score enough runs to make any mistakkes and win. We scored 21 in the previous 3 games, this was one the pitcher needed to win. He couldn't.
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 10:34 PM
Agree Ankiel is a "fringe player." But he's been playing almost every day and pretty solid in the OF except for today. He is clearly exhausted, his face was dripping with sweat today and last night, and I wonder if he didn't catch a bit of the flu from the Braves–which he would never admit, because, as you say, he is a fringe player who can't afford to take a sick day.
- Gonat - May 28, 2012 at 10:42 PM
Once Rizzo re-signed Ankiel, you just knew he would be the starter. Davey has to give Corey Brown some reps out in CF. From what I saw of Corey in Spring Training, he can play some great defense. He obviously doesn't have Ankiel's arm but has better speed and good jumps on balls.Have to find out if Corey Brown can hit at the MLB level.
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 10:42 PM

Pitch FX confirms that the only ball that Bell threw in the strike zone against Ankiel was on the 2-0 pitch that Ankiel was taking.5 balls thrown and 1 strike. Ankiel is killing this team in key situations at-bat.http://www.brooksbaseball.net/pfxVB/cache/location.php-pitchSel=425514&game=gid_2012_05_28_wasmlb_miamlb_1&batterX=68&innings=yyyyyyyyy&sp_type=1&s_type=3.gif
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 10:44 PM
Gonat, no, you didn't know Ankiel was going to start. Who knew that Werth would break his wrist and Morse would take this long to get back? Agree Brown should get his chance.
- peric - May 28, 2012 at 11:08 PM
He obviously doesn't have Ankiel's arm but has better speed and good jumps on balls.No outfielder has Ankiel's arm … although Harper's is close and the Orioles appeared to tout some impressive outfield arms. We saw today with Lombardozzi's arm. Its just not an outfield arm. Harper or Ankiel would have thrown the guy out … Lombardozzi's throw just didn't get to the plate in time.
- Joe Seamhead - May 28, 2012 at 11:27 PM
I agree,peric, with your entire post. Lombo is a tough one for Davey because he wants to get him some at bats, but won't jump ship on Espinosa. Personally, I have always hated weakening the outfield. From Little League on, coaches tend to stick a good bat/ bad glove in the outfield. It's not usually a winning recipe. The ball will find them in the really big game. Lombo belongs in the infield.

Death and Rebirth is an Evangelion movie. After the 25th and 26th episodes of the Japanese Television anime Neon Genesis Evangelion were released the fans revolted. Studio Gainix had run out of money and the final two episodes of the series were released with poor animation, contained a false "happy go lucky" ending and were overall very confusing. The fans through a shit fit and sent death threats. When Studio Gainix pulled some money together, and got a bit of a hand out from every animation studio in Japan, they produced two Evangelion movies. The first of which was Death and Rebirth. The first half: Death, was a broad recap of the first 24 episodes. Rebirth however was no more than the first 15 minutes of the next movie. The fans once again threw a shit fit and sent death threats. Finally The End of Eva was released, "and all's right with the world."
Allright, for the marathon were gonna do episodes 1 through 24, fuck 25 and 26, fuck death and rebirth, and then we watch the end of eva.

VERY cool, thanks guys! sounds like it was a lot of work CJPC, we all appreciate it no doubt - i'll get it loaded tomorrow hopefully and reply with anything to add!
LOL @ iRC... they all are saying how much they "love CJPC's SAK" now.
That's pretty damn slick. I am not very knowledgable in the ps3 scene as I only had my unit for about a month but if i am not mistaken this could sorta be like the first homebrew released no?
That is option 4 yes, alas it only really is functional on a 60gb (with 50gb to OtherOS), but still works out fine.
For what its worth, you can also use this util to backup/explore ANY ROUND disk (cept HD-DVD's basically)
AND, it has a web server, access it at http://Your PS3 IP (no spaces!, displayed on the program in the header), and you can browse the Blu-Ray disks, or your HDD (OtherOS side), and download files. Features UDF 2.5 support as well, so you can grab encrypted files from Blu-Ray movies, download them to your PC over a web-browser, and then decrypt!
Well technically I believe there are other PS3 CD/DVD-based homebrew (Lunavader, for example) as well... and a lot of Linux-based stuff. But this is the first PS3 "OtherOS" discless application that I've seen if that counts for anything.
Possibly in a future release Yes, a firmware downgrader isnt gonna happen (hah!)
At the moment, there is the HTTP server, as its targeted mainly for downloads, not uploads, however, will look into it!
Very nice job! Thank you very much! Do you have any idea if this program can live along side any future (speculated) releases of an ISO loader?
By the way...somewhat related: Is it safe to assume that we will see a .pkg builder that will convert ISO dumps into a playable .pkg format vs. an ISO loader soon?
Thanks again! Another valuable scene contribution!
Thanks for this cool app CJPC and all the work you put into it looks great i cant wait to try it out when i get back from work
pretty sweet, cant wait to try it out.
really good work.
would it be possible in future releases, that you for example can have some customizable slots, where you for example load the linux vlc, linux emulators or other linux based applications?

Rays, Yankees on a roll heading into weekend set
Archer, Kuroda to start pivotal series between AL East rivals
The two hottest teams in the American League East will battle at Tropicana Field on Friday when the Rays and the Yankees begin a three-game series.
The Rays took two of three from the Orioles, and the Yankees have won five straight and appear to be super-charged following excitement in Boston on Sunday, when Alex Rodriguez was drilled by Ryan Dempster. Dempster was given a five-game suspension for his actions.
"That's behind us now, and I've shut everything down," Rodriguez said before Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays. "I think the best thing to do, for all of us, is to focus on the game. We're in the middle of a pennant race, so I want to put the focus back on baseball."
A-Rod said that he will no longer be answering questions not related to baseball. He is hitting .281 with two homers in the 15 games since his return on Aug. 6.
One thing he's certainly done is lengthen the Yankees' lineup, which is tied for tops in the Majors in runs scored since he came back.
Rays manager Joe Maddon doesn't believe it's right to intentionally throw at A-Rod, regardless of the circumstances.
"Vigilante justice and unilateral decisions, I'm not into that stuff," Maddon said. "That is totally separate from the unwritten rules of baseball. I did not agree with that at all. Again, I don't believe in rogue, unilateral decisions or players handing out discipline."
Chris Archer, the 24-year-old rookie who is expected to start on Friday, has no negative words about Rodriguez.
"I haven't really thought about it," Archer said. "He's a good right-handed hitter that hits in the middle of the order, and that's what I really see when I'm watching film or thinking about this upcoming game.
"Regardless of the venue or team, I'm trying to go out there and accomplish the same goal every day: be mindful of every pitch. Keep my team in the game as long as I possibly can. And when I've been able to do that, the results have been positive."
Although Archer has really hit his stride since the beginning of July, lowering his ERA from 4.17 to 2.95, he'll have to deal of pair of hot bats in Alfonso Soriano (eight homers, 24 RBIs since Aug. 1) and Robinson Cano (.381 average, .460 OBP since Aug. 1).
Hiroki Kuroda takes the mound for the Yankees having yet to face the Rays this season, though the team has given him trouble in the past. His 6.11 ERA against Tampa Bay is his worst against any club
Since the All-Star break, a span of 41 2/3 innings, Kuroda has a 1.73 ERA with 32 strikeouts and five walks.
Yankees: Youkilis hoping for return this season
Kevin Youkilis is still hoping to return to baseball this season.
The veteran has been making progress since undergoing June back surgery, and isn't ready to give up on the season just yet.
"I've just got to keep hitting things, progressing, and every progression brings more excitement," Youkilis said. "Hopefully, in due time, I'll be able to do some baseball activities."
The 34-year-old underwent surgery to repair a herniated disk on June 20, which comes with an original timetable for his recovery of 10-12 weeks, putting him sometime in September. Before that can happen though, he still needs to be cleared for baseball activities.
"I'm hoping, for sure. If I had a magic ball that said I could be here on a certain day, I'd say it would be Sept. 1," Youkilis said. "For now, I really got to watch what I'm doing. I'm not really bright with a lot of the -- I ramp up things too quick sometimes. I need someone to pull the reins back."
Rays: Escobar does it all
Yunel Escobar batted fifth on Wednesday for the 10th time this season, a testament to how well he's performed at the plate. Although his season numbers may not be overwhelming, he has quietly been one of the better offensive shortstops in baseball after a rough April.
Since May 1, Escobar ranks second among qualified Major League shortstops with a .353 on-base percentage, and he's fourth with a .288 average.
In addition, he's ranked second in the popular defensive statistic UZR (ultimate zone rating), with 9.2 runs saved above average on the season. Only the Braves' Andrelton Simmons has a higher rating, an astounding 20.6.
Worth noting
• Since blowing three straight saves in early August, Mariano Rivera hasn't allowed a run in four straight appearances.
• Tampa Bay (44 errors through 124 games) and Baltimore (37 errors through 125 games) are each on pace to break the record for fewest errors in a season.

Moore looks to help Rays maintain lead in WC race
Mariners turn to Ramirez to wrap up sweep at home
The end of a long road trip for the Rays finally has arrived with Sunday's game at Seattle, and the one that will wrap it up stands as the one they need to win the most.
Having gone 2-7 on the 10-game trip through three AL West cities and seeing their lead in the race for the second Wild Card dwindle to a single game, the Rays turn to left-hander Matt Moore to right the ship before the team sails back home. He'll meet Erasmo Ramirez in the finale of the three-game set at Safeco Field.
For his part, Moore accepts the reality that it's on the Rays' rotation to provide a shutdown start to help turn things around.
"This is the time of year where we want to be our toughest and at our best, and give our best performances," Moore said. "We're all focused for our start day and cheering the other guys on, on their start days."
Moore has won seven consecutive decisions dating back to June, although he missed about a month on the disabled list with elbow soreness. The 15-game winner says the detour might have made him a little fresher for the stretch run.
"I feel, I think, stronger in this point of September, I think than I did last year," Moore said. "I would say a lot of that has to do with taking 30 days off ... if every pitcher did that, I think they'd be feeling better in September."
Ramirez will make the start against the Rays for just the second time in his career. He recorded the win in his first start against the Rays on Aug. 13, allowing four earned runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. The 23-year-old is 5-1 with a 5.07 ERA thanks to 5.89 runs of support on average.
"My body is great, and let's see what happens. I'm going to face a team for the second time so it's good that they know me, I know them," Ramirez said.
Ramirez will be working with catcher Mike Zunino, who recently returned to the team after a five-week absence while a broken hamate bone in his left wrist healed.
Rays: Longoria goes long
Evan Longoria connected on his first homer of September, actually his first since Aug. 25, on Saturday, giving him 29 on the season and extending his hitting streak to five games.
• Reliever Jesse Crain, sidelined with a right shoulder strain since being acquired from the White Sox in July, threw 25 pitches off a mound Saturday and hopes to toss again Sunday with hopes of being back by the end of the season.
"I think that's the biggest thing that tells me when I'm healthy, when I can go out there and push it and then come back the next day and I'm strong. I haven't gone backwards," he said.
Mariners: Franklin shakes it off
Second baseman Nick Franklin took a knee to the back of the head when first baseman Justin Smoak collided with him on a blooper to right field Saturday, but he stayed in the game and went 2-for-4 at the plate to break a slump.
Franklin had a pair of doubles after entering the game in a 4-for-47 skid since Aug. 24.
• Danny Hultzen, the Mariners' No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 draft, threw 51 pitches in a simulated game Saturday, the most action he's seen since an injury that has cost him most of the season. Hultzen will head to the Instructional League, and then the Arizona Fall League.
Worth noting
• The Rays are now 14-14 against the AL West with Sunday's finale and a four-game series against the Rangers remaining.
• The Rays get a breather Monday after their long trip, but they jump right back into the fray Tuesday by hosting AL East leader Boston. The Mariners will host the Astros for a three-game series starting Monday.

EXCELLENT QUALITY & PRICE I bought this ring 14 months ago. It looks like a beautiful anniversary band and I still love it. I wear it every single day, do house work in it and wear it to the hospital (I am an RN) and even hospital hand sanitizers can't hurt it! It has a few minor scratches on the underside but then again, so do my "real" wedding rings. I like that the diamonds are all inset and therefore no chances of catching on things (like gloves when you're taking them off) or scratching people. I can not say enough about this ring. I receive MANY compliments on it, even from a jeweler when I was having a bracelet cleaned. Noone will know that it isn't white gold and they aren't real diamonds. I keep another in my cart just in case something should happen to this one but so far, I don't see any sign of needing to replace it. Excellent quality and the price can't be beat.

A lot of ring, shine & detail for the price I was actually shocked at the thickness of this ring. Usually when I buy jewelry online (especially in this price range) it ends up being only a portion of what the picture size has you believe. This ring has a band that will not wear thin for years to come. If you are looking for small & dainty, I don't suggest this ring. If you are looking for glitz and sparkle, this has it. Nicely set round & baggett zircons that really reflect the light. A beautiful ring for weddings, cocktail parties, proms or anytime you want some extra sparkle. Think Elizabeth Taylor glamour and wear it like it's the real thing!

Nice Ring I was pleased when I got this ring in the mail. It's a very beautiful piece and WAS very nice but I wore it every day for 6 months or so and it showed very bad wear on the sides. It lost it's shine on the silver and did not shine back up with silver polish. I did think it was a beautiful ring and very well made when I first got it but it should be worn for special occasions or taken off for showers and such. Basically, you get what you pay for.

Gio Gonzalez makes his Nationals debut tomorrow afternoon at Wrigley Field.
CHICAGO — He's had nearly 3 1/2 months to prepare for this moment, which has only allowed the anticipation to build up inside the pit of Gio Gonzalez's stomach.
That anticipation will peak shortly after noon CDT tomorrow, when Gonzalez takes the mound for the Nationals for the first time, starting his new club's second game of the season against the Cubs.
Then, the left-hander hopes, he can get down to business.

From the last thread….Speaking of the Beast, he's done some gorse hacking tonight here in Bowie as DH for the Senators — 2/3, double and a line drive dinger crushed to center. Ankiel also hit one out in the first and didn't have much of a challenge playing CF. Both left in the middle of the 5th and looked ready to come up when their DL time is up.Morse's dinger was no cheap shot — had distance to spare, and would have made it out of most MLB ballparks.

- Steady Eddie - Apr 7, 2012 at 3:08 AM
Another nice thing to see from the Senators' game was Eury Perez looking very capable in center (moved over from right after Ankiel left) – he made a catch of a hard liner into the gap look easy, as he did in taking a quick route to settle into position under a warning track blast.Josh Johnson also was smooth, though only with OK range, at short.Only big downside was seeing both Perez and Chris Rahl each steal second with headfirst slides. Perez clearly got dirt burns on both hands which he was shaking the whole time he was at second, until he scored on Rahl's single. What are they teaching them at H-burg????

I have a question about pitch counts – the part where they tell us a guy threw 82 pitches, 58 of them strikes – I thought I'd bring here for the experts. First, is it the official scorer who gives the official pitch count and breakdown of balls and strikes? Second, is a pitch only counted by its placement regardless of contact? So straight up balls and strikes looking are easy, but say a pitch was way out of the strike zone, but guy gets a hit anyway, ball or strike? Or say a guy has 2 strikes already but fouls off a pitch that was dead center in the strike zone, is that still a strike? Is it ever subjective? Just curious. Just never thought about it much before.
- NatsNut - Apr 7, 2012 at 11:21 AM
Or, what if Wendelstedt, you know, for example, calls it a ball but some other mechanism (pitch track?) clearly shows it's a big juicy strike? Could the in-game, at-bat pitch counts ever be different from the official tally?
- Anonymous - Apr 7, 2012 at 11:26 AM
NatsNut said…"Second, is a pitch only counted by its placement regardless of contact?"I am pretty sure it is based upon the pitch result, not the actual pitch location. Any pitch that is swung at or called a strike is a strike.

NatsJack in Florida said… "And Mariano Rivera's ERA is 54.00. Gotta luv it!"So many sports analysts have got the Yankees as one of their top two teams in MLB. I think there just might be 5 AL teams – Red Sox, Rays, Tigers, Rangers and Angels – better than them.

Good question, Nut….

hehehe……:Section 3, My PFB Sofa said…Gio Hopes To Overcome ButterfliesI know the Cubs aren't looking like strong contenders this season, but don't you think that's a little harsh?
- ehay2k - Apr 7, 2012 at 11:43 AM
PFB line, Sec 3! As for Dunn, I too hope he has a good year. But the odds of him coming back are nil.
- sjm308 - Apr 7, 2012 at 12:18 PM
NatsNut – never thought about the 2 strike situation before. If a guy fouls off 3 or 4 pitches they certainly are not balls but they have to be included in the pitch count so I am guessing they are included in the strikes/balls ratio. Certainly every time a batter swings, no matter where the pitch, that is a strike and noted as such.With Wendlestat, I think you just throw up your hands and pray he is not behind the plate too many times in your career.
- Anonymous - Apr 7, 2012 at 12:35 PM
Any pitch that results in a ball or a HBP, is counted as a ball. All other are counted as strikes.
- Positively Half St. - Apr 7, 2012 at 12:40 PM
Sec 3- Good one. I hope the Cubs play like butterflies a few more games. I want the Nats to be 3-0.+1/2St.
- Joe Seamhead - Apr 7, 2012 at 12:43 PM
This two day wait between the 1st and 2nd game is torturous! And yes every pitch swung at is a strike in the pitch count.I also have quickly come around to appreciating Gio after throwing a fit the day of the trade. I still think we paid a very high price, but am now of the mindset that it was a good trade for both teams. He sure seems like a great addition.
- Wally - Apr 7, 2012 at 12:58 PM
NatsNut – you can also, if you are feeling ambitious, find out how many strikes were swinging strikes v. called strikes, broken down by pitch type (although I am not sure if you can break it down by pitch type by game; probably), where in the zone the strike was, how much movement each pitch had, etc. Really quite amazing data these days, although often it is described in statistical graphs, which can get a little thick if you are not familiar with them (I am not).Usually I just go to Fangraphs. They'll either have what I am interested in, or I can figure out where to find it from there.

I think GIO was "the" available pitcher this offseason. Yes, we paid a high price, but Rizzo was able to lock him up for the long term for a bargain price — way below the cost if we picked him up as a free agent. This trade will go down as good for both teams, as I expect Peacock to become a good pitcher and either AJ Cole or Milone (pretty much a Lannan clone) will do some good things in the big leagues. It seemed as if the organization felt that Norris had peaked and that we have catching depth in the minors. But, Gio has the stuff and demeanor to be an Ace and those don't come around very often. No one pines over what the Braves gave up for Hudson, but he's been their number 1 for a while. I can't wait to see today and to cheer Gi-O, Gi-O on April 12th at home.
- Kirbs - Apr 7, 2012 at 1:05 PM
And also, remind Gio when binging to catch the ball with the bat, don't stab at the ball.
- Kirbs - Apr 7, 2012 at 1:05 PM
*bunting. Stupid spell check.
- natsfan1a - Apr 7, 2012 at 1:06 PM
Also don't forget that, when he gets a strikeout, it's K-O, K-O.
- NatsJack in Florida - Apr 7, 2012 at 1:06 PM
Just scrolled through the 100 funniest movies of all time. How can "Zoolander" be on the list but not "The Gods Must Be Crazy"?
- natsfan1a - Apr 7, 2012 at 1:08 PM
I'm guessing that it depends on whose list you're looking at, as there are quite a few "top 100" lists out there (AFI, IMDB, various publications).
- Joe Seamhead - Apr 7, 2012 at 1:12 PM
I laughed my tookus off the first time I saw The Gods Must Be Crazy, NatsJack.

To Anon 7:30–Tim Kurkjian of ESPN thinks the top six teams in all of MLB are in the AL: New York, Boston, Tampa Bay, LA, Texas and Detroit. Which NL team would you put ahead of these??
- baseballswami - Apr 7, 2012 at 1:30 PM
I know we are all worried about offense, but it's only been the one real game. We scored 7 against the RedSox. In the first one or two games Hanley Ramirez and Giancarlo Stanton are like 0 for 16, Pujols was o-fer. MoRivera and Valverde blew saves. Do we really think these are all indications of what is to come? I am encouraged by Desi and Danny getting on base, Zim hit the fool out of the ball and several hitters really battled in the late innings to draw walks and get on base. Those things are part of a good offense even though it didn't show in the score. I think we scored more runs than the Phils and Marlins so far. It's waaaay early. GYFNG!!!!! Go NatGio!!!
- UnkyD - Apr 7, 2012 at 1:30 PM
Kirbs: also remember the maalox, when "binging" lol…;-)
- SayNoToClint - Apr 7, 2012 at 1:31 PM
Yesterday Aaron Crow came in and walked the bases loaded vs. the Angels. He was then yanked and ended up being charged with 3 runs. But he got on Sportscenter for doing it!
- SayNoToClint - Apr 7, 2012 at 1:34 PM
Oops, meant to say he loaded the bases, but they were hits not walks. I transposed my box score columns.

Don't have a server, 1A, just have a regular computer… Speaking of which, now that I have the Vulkano (like a slingbox) hooked up to my cable-box, turns out I don't need the TV at all, it's just a big monitor. Sooooooooo…. now that I can watch TV on my 'puter, should I return the big TV? Kinda got used to that feller, but it sure takes up space.
- Section 3, My PFB Sofa - Apr 7, 2012 at 3:46 PM
Why not just use the big tv as a big ol' monitor?

While you let it sink in that the Baha Men (yes, of "Who Let the Dog Out?" fame) have won a Grammy, check out some artists and bands who have never won a competitive Grammy Award.
Brian McKnight
The R&B singer-songwriter and musician's work has earned him 16 Grammy Awards nominations, setting the record for the most nominations without a single win.
Snoop Dogg
The rapper tied McKnight's record in 2014 when he lost out to Ziggy Marley for Best Reggae Album for "Reincarnated." The nomination was his 16th, with most of them coming for collaborations with everyone from Dr. Dre to Katy Perry, in a career that has lasted for more than 20 years and a dozen studio albums.
Joe Satriani
The rock guitar legend has nabbed 15 Grammy nominations in his career, all but one in the Best Rock Instrumental Performance category, but has never won.
Martina McBride
While the country music star sang on "Amazing Grace - A Country Salute to Gospel," which won a Grammy for Best Southern, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album in 1996, she has yet to win a Grammy herself in 14 career nominations.
Although she's known more for her distinctive look and unique voice than any mainstream success, Icelandic pop star Bjork has racked up 13 Grammy nominations in her career to this point, but has walked away empty handed every time. Bjork releases have received two additional Grammy Award nominations, both of which are credited to the respective art directors, including a win for Best Recording Package for her "Biophilia" album in 2013.
Like Bjork, rapper Nas has netted 13 Grammy nominations in his career dating back to 1997, but has yet to hear his name called at the actual ceremony.
Katy Perry
While she hasn't been around as long as most of the artists on this list, Perry has been nominated 13 times since her 2008 pop debut without winning even once, including two nominations without a win this year.
Diana Ross
Despite 12 nominations over her career, the singer has never won a competitive Grammy. However, she has had three recordings inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and won a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012.
Spyro Gyra
The jazz fusion band received their first Grammy nomination back in 1980 for their third studio album "Catching the Sun." Since then, the band has racked up a total of 12 nominations, including four straight Best Pop Instrumental Album nods between 2007 and 2010, without earning a victory.
Except for a two-year hiatus in the early 2000s, metal group Megadeth has been around since 1983, earning 11 Grammy nominations during that time, but not one single win.
Busta Rhymes
The rapper has also received 11 Grammy nominations, most recently two 2012 nods for his song "Look At Me Now," but has yet to win the award.
Musiq Soulchild
The soul singer-songwriter has received 11 Grammy nominations since his 2000 debut album "Aijuswanaseing." His most recent nomination came in 2011 with his fifth nomination in the Best Male R&B Vocal Performance category for his song "We're Still Friends."
Connie Smith
The country singer received her first three Grammy nominations back in 1965, including two for her debut single "Once a Day" and another for Best New Country and Western Artist. She proceeded to earn seven more in the 1960s and '70s, with her 10th coming in 1976 for her gospel album "Connie Smith Sings Hank Williams Gospel." She then earned her 11th nomination in 2010 for "Run to You," her collaboration with Marty Stuart.
Vanessa L. Williams
Williams started off her run of 11 Grammy nominations without a win with nods for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best New Artist in 1989. Her 11th, and most recent, nomination came in 1997 in the Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album category.
Jazmine Sullivan
The R&B and soul singer-songwriter burst onto the music scene in 2009 with six Grammy nominations, including a nomination for Best New Artist and nods for her debut album "Fearless" and two of its singles "Need U Bad" and "Bust Your Windows." She's since added five more nominations for a total of 11 without a win.
Dierks Bentley
The country music singer-songwriter received his first two Grammy nominations for "Every Mile a Memory," the lead single off his 2006 album "Long Trip Alone." Flash forward to 2015, when he received the 11th nomination of his career, for his most recent album "Riser," but was shut out once again.
Meshell Ndegeocello
The singer-songwriter has received 10 Grammy nominations over a career that began in 1993, but has yet to hear her name called at the ceremony.
Jamey Johnson
The old school country singer-songwriter has racked up nine Grammy nomination in total since his first three in 2009 but hasn't won as of yet. His most recent nomination came in 2013 for Best Country album for "Living for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran."
Tanya Tucker
The country legend's first Grammy nomination came at the age of 14 for her debut single, 1973's "Delta Dawn." Eight more nominations followed through the mid-1990s for a total of nine nominations without a victory.
The Freddy Mercury-led band never won a Grammy, despite nominations for "Bohemian Rhapsody" in 1976 for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group (it lost to Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now") and for "Another One Bites the Dust" in 1980 for Best Rock Performance (losing to Bob Seger's "Against the Wind"). The band has seen "Bohemian Rhapsody" earn a spot in the Grammy Hall of Fame, along with the hits "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions," but has never even won a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Chuck Berry
The rock 'n' roll pioneer mostly got shut out because by the time the Grammys began in 1959, he was already a major established star with several hit songs, including "Maybellene," "Roll Over Beethoven," "Rock and Roll Music" and "Johnny B. Goode." While he never won a competitive Grammy, he did nab a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1984.
Janis Joplin
The bluesy singer of "Piece of My Heart" and "Me and Bobby McGee" died at the age of 27 in 1970 just as her fame was peaking. After her death, she was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Me and Bobby McGee," but lost out to Carole King's "Tapestry." She did receive a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005.
The Who
The band that recorded such hits as "My Generation," "Pinball Wizard," "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" was never honored with a Grammy except for the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001.
The Doors
Jim Morrison's unique voice and charismatic personality drove the success of such songs as "Light My Fire," "Hello, I Love You" and "Touch Me," but the only Grammy The Doors ever received was the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007, 36 years after Morrison's death.
Jimi Hendrix
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member and guitar legend Jimi Hendrix is often named among the best, if not the best, electric guitarists of all time. But we went unrecognized by the Grammys during his career, which was cut short at the age of 27 in 1970. He was later awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award more than 20 years after his death.
Bob Marley
Legendary reggae singer Bob Marley, whose best-known hits included "I Shot the Sheriff," "No Woman, No Cry," "Get Up Stand Up," "Redemption Song" and "One Love," was another artist who later received a Lifetime Achievement Award after his death, but was never awarded with a Grammy during his career.
Buddy Holly
Like Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly missed out on Grammy recognition because his hits came before the Grammys even existed. A pioneer of rock 'n' roll in the 1950s for songs like "That'll Be the Day," "Peggy Sue" and "Oh Boy!", Holly died at age 22 in 1959. He received the Lifetime Achievement Award almost 40 years after his death.
Patsy Cline
The country great first hit the pop chart in February 1957 with "Walkin' After Midnight." She then cracked the top 10 in November 1961 with her version of Willie Nelson's "Crazy," but died in a plane crash in just two years later. She received the Lifetime Achievement Grammy posthumously in 1995.
Despite a career that spanned more than 20 years and being recognized as one of the most influential acts in the history of hip hop culture, rappers Run-D.M.C. was completely shut out by the Grammys. The group actually became the first hip hop group ever to receive a Grammy nomination, for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group in 1987 for "Raising Hell," losing out to Prince and The Revolution for "Kiss," and earned two more nominations, but never won.
Tupac Shakur
Although the rapper died at the age of 25 in 1996, he still earned six Grammy nominations in his short career, losing every single one.
In the 1980s, it was almost impossible to turn on the radio without hearing a hit song by Journey, whether it be "Don't Stop Believin'," "Open Arms," "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" or "Faithfully." Despite their commercial success, the band never found much success with critics, or with the Grammys.
The Kinks
The band responsible for such top-10 hit songs as "You Really Got Me," "Tired of Waiting for You," "All Day and All of the Night" and "Lola," not only never won a Grammy, it has yet to receive the consolation prize of a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Two years after three Lynyrd Skynyrd band members, including lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, died in a 1977 plane crash, the Recording Academy added rock categories. As a result, the Grammys missed out on such hits as "Free Bird" and "Sweet Home Alabama," which had little chance going against pop music.
The Grateful Dead
The legendary jam band, which never really found chart success apart from the 1987 top-10 hit "Touch of Grey," still managed to attract a huge dedicated following while serving as a huge influence in a number of genres. While the Grateful Dead's 1970 album "Workingman's Dead" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999, they never received a Grammy nomination. However, they were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007, more than a decade after Jerry Garcia's death.
Like The Grateful Dead, the Canadian rock band Rush has a dedicated following but has not yet felt the love from the Grammys. Despite six nominations for Best Rock Instrumental Performance dating back to 1981, they've yet to win a Grammy Award, losing out to the likes of The Police, Pink Floyd, Brian Wilson and Bruce Springsteen.

How Can You Give A Community Better Health?
Originally published on Fri December 20, 2013 8:37 am
Part 2 of the TED Radio Hour episode Giving It Away.
About Ron Finley's TEDTalk
Ron Finley plants vegetable gardens in South Central LA — in abandoned lots, traffic medians, along the curbs. Why? For fun, for defiance, for beauty and to offer some alternative to fast food in a community where "the drive-thrus are killing more people than the drive-bys."
About Ron Finley
Ron Finley grows a nourishing food culture in South Central LA's food desert by planting the seeds and tools for healthy eating. Finley's vision for a healthy, accessible "food forest" started with the curbside veggie garden he planted in the strip of dirt in front of his own house. When the city tried to shut it down, Finley's fight gave voice to a larger movement that provides nourishment, empowerment, education — and healthy, hopeful futures — one urban garden at a time.
So, if you want a quick snack in South Central Los Angeles some options might be ...
RON FINLEY: ...some Hot Cheetos, or some Coke, Pepsi, or anything sugary...
RAZ: This is Ron Finley, and those snack options, a problem he wanted to solve. How do you introduce yourself, like, how do you describe yourself to people?
FINLEY: You know, I call myself a renegade eco-lutionary.
RAZ: Sounds dangerous.
FINLEY: It is dangerous.
RAZ: I'm thinking like you're armed with two carrots.
FINLEY: No, no, no a pitchfork and a hoe.
RAZ: Oh, got you, okay. That's a little bit more violent than a carrot.
FINLEY: No. (Laughs) No, I'm a renegade. I'm a gangster gardener.
RAZ: Oh, I got it.
FINLEY: You know, I'm not that kind of gardener with overalls and, you know, the straw in his mouth.
RAZ: Yeah.
FINLEY: It's a new world.
RAZ: Okay, so Ron Finley's story, how he became a gangsta gardener, starts in his neighborhood.
FINLEY: I live in South Central - liquor stores, fast food, vacant lots. I live in a food desert. South Central Los Angeles, home of the drive-thru and the drive-by. Funny thing is, the drive-thrus are killing more people than the drive-bys. I see wheelchairs bought and sold like used cars. I see dialysis centers popping up like Starbucks. So I figured that the problem is the solution. Food is the problem and food is the solution. Plus, I got tired of driving 45 minutes to get a apple that wasn't impregnated with pesticides. So what I did, I planted a food forest in front of my house.
FINLEY: Right now I'm standing in front of the pomegranate trees, beets, collard greens, three kinds of kale growing ...
RAZ: This is Ron Finley's garden.
FINLEY: I like different levels. I like different colors, different textures, different smells. You know what? You ever had a alpine strawberry?
RAZ: No.
FINLEY: They're white and they're like ...
RAZ: I've never had one.
FINLEY: ... this tangy two kind of flavor type. Can you see the these almonds growing on my tree right here? I mean, they're beautiful.
RAZ: And his garden, it's literally in front of his house, on the sidewalk, open to the public 24/7. No formal invitation required. And in the beginning, the idea of a community garden on the sidewalk in South Central was so strange that his neighbors would mock him. They'd call him ...
FINLEY: Ronny Appleseed.
RAZ: Ronny Appleseed.
FINLEY: I remember this time there was this mother and her daughter, 10:30 at night and they were in my yard. And I came out and they looked so ashamed. So I'm like, man, it made me feel bad that they were there and I told them, you don't have to do this like this. This is on the street for a reason. It made me feel ashamed to see people that was this close to me that was hungry and this only reinforced why I do this. And people asked me, Fin, aren't you afraid people are going to steal your food? And I'm like, hell no, I ain't afraid they're going to steal it. That's why it's on the street. That's the whole idea. I want them to take it. But then the same time, I want them to take back their health.
RAZ: You just gave it away.
FINLEY: Yeah, and that's what it's for. It's on the street for a reason. I want you to enjoy this food.
RAZ: The food part seems important but it sounds like there's something bigger that you're kind of going after, something about just sharing.
FINLEY: It feels good. It feels good to be able to share. It feels good to be able to change something. It feels good to give. But, I mean, within that, you also have to receive, and a lot of people, they have a problem with that. My thing is that's what the yin and the yang is all about.
RAZ: So Amanda Palmer, who we're going to hear from later in the show, she says that, you know, you have to ask somebody if you also want to give. Like that's an integral part of it.
FINLEY: I think that's the yin and the yang. It has to have balance. This garden is about bring-some-get-some. If you want food, bring some food or bring something. You know, just don't come, take, take, take, take, take. It's mandatory that you have to give, and you have to be able to receive. Just imagine if we had one whole block, a cooperative - that they grow food. And you know what your neighbor's growing so you don't have to grow it 'cause you know Mabel's doing the carrots, and you know Tex is doing the onions, and you know you have the cabbage and fruit trees. That would be my perfect world.
RAZ: Ever since planting his garden, Ron Finley and a group of volunteers have worked on almost 20 other gardens. And his neighbors, even strangers, they've given him wheelbarrows, seedlings, plants, entire trees. Sometimes they just leave them on his front porch.
FINLEY: I see young people and they want to work. But they're in this thing where they're caught up. I see kids of color and they're just on this track that leads them to nowhere. So with gardening I see an opportunity where we can train these kids to take over their communities, to have a sustainable life. And when we do this, who knows, we might produce the next George Washington Carver. But if we don't change the composition of the soil, we will never do this. What I'm talking about is putting people to work and getting kids off the street and letting them know the joy, the pride, and the honor in growing your own food. So what I want to do here, we got to make this sexy. I want us all to become eco-lutionary, renegades, gangster gardeners. We got to change - we got to flip the script on what a gangster is. If you ain't a gardener, you ain't gangster. You're gangster with your shovel, okay. And let that be your weapon of choice. So basically, if you want to meet with me, don't call me if you want to sit around in cushy chairs and have meetings where you talk about doing some [bleep]. If you want to meet with me, come to the garden with your shovel so we can plant some [bleep]. Peace, thank you.
RAZ: That's Ron Finley. You can see his full TED Talk at ted.npr.org. There should be like gardening gangster rap.
FINLEY: Well, there is one. There's a friend of mine, Keith Cross, has a song called "Home Grown" that is the bomb.
KEITH CROSS: (Singing) Crop farmer, I got what you need. But I ain't blowing smoke when I say I grow trees. It's funny this economy is based on greed. But people don't farm who got mouths to feed.
RAZ: On the show today, giving it away. I'm Guy Raz. It's the TED Radio Hour from NPR. Stay with us.
CROSS: (Singing) The money I do spend on watering crops, I give right back 'cause I don't shop for groceries. Man, I got that homegrown. I don't care about the Dow Jones. The economy could crash tonight ... Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Scott,The man I spoke with there yesterday told me that I should consider not getting the 1/2" because it would be over 50 pounds. I roughly measured the interior and came up with 14 1/2 x 23 1/2, but plan on cutting a cardboard template later today. He suggested getting the 3/8" thick one. I explained that I usually make no more than 4 pies in one night and he thought that would be sufficient. Given those dimensions he said it would be $109. I haven't finished reading all the way through this thread yet but hope to today.Mary Ann
While I am sure I could have found a piece of steel for less, the product is beautifully finished and not so much more expensive than a custom cut piece of steel according to posts I've read here.
If the product does not perform, it will ultimately fail.
The problem with the depth is that there is a lip on the rack such that if I placed the steel plate on it, especially in two pieces, they would not be flush. I guess I could see if the rack could be used on the reverse side so the pieces would sit flush on the rack. Then I could order a deeper plate. The other option is to order it wider and completely remove the rack and have the plates slide directly on the shelve slots.
I'm going to ask if I should try Lehmann's NY style recipe versus the one I've been using from Peter Reinhart's book, American Pie? I have had good results with that but I've had tearing issues which I know what to do to prevent it next time. I have only used KASL and plan on it since I have a few bags to get through before my big purchase. Any advice on a brand (unbleached and non-bromated) that I should try? I like HG flours for both my NY and Sicilian pies...
JD,Did you get yours in two pieces?
Glad to hear, what was your bake time at 525?
Mary Ann, normally when people are happy with a recipe, I don't rain on their parade, but, since you're soliciting advice American Pie is a horrible book. Reinhart is great for bread, but not that knowledgeable when it comes to pizza. The Lehmann recipe is good, as is the recipe of mine that JD linked to (they're really not that different).If you use my recipe, you need to go with an appropriate protein content for the flour. You can either work with KABF or you can dilute your KASL with some all purpose (Walmart or Heckers 50/50). Neither approach is ideal, though. This will probably ruffle some feathers, but if I had KASL, unless I knew I would be making bagels soon, I'd probably throw it out. That's what I did with my leftover All Trumps when I bought my bag of Spring King. Toss the KASL (or make bagels with it), buy Best Bakers and don't look back.JD pioneered the two piece process
If you don't mind me asking, why do you like best bakers flour? Is it because it is a patent flour, or because of the protein content?
So, if I want the best flour for steel plate baked New York style pizza, am I specifically looking for Best Bakers Spring King flour? Is that the exact name? I live in Oregon, and I'm wondering where I can find this flour.

We were aware there was information in the police community that the buses had criminal activity around drugs. Weve specifically made our patrol aware of it for weeks now, he said Thursday.
Megabus.com/Coach USA spokesman Mike Alvich said his company had been notified of the drug investigation.

text: Bloomberg -- The U.S. shale-gas revolution, which has revitalized chemicals companies and prompted talk of domestic energy self-sufficiency, is attracting a wave of investment that may revive profits in the steel industry.Austrian steelmaker Voestalpine AG (VOE) said Dec. 19 it may construct a 500 million-euro ($661 million) factory in the U.S. to benefit from cheap gas. Nucor Corp. (NUE), the most valuable U.S. steelmaker, plans to start up a $750 million Louisiana project in mid-2013. They're among at least five U.S. plants under consideration or being built that would use gas instead of coal to purify iron ore, the main ingredient in steel. "That technology has been around 30 years, but for 29 years gas prices in the U.S. were so high that the technology was not economical," said Michelle Appleb Read the Full Article
