Basic Information
Name: Suigetsu Hozuki
Nickname: Second Coming of the Demon
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Clan: Hozuki
Looks: Suigetsu is a lean-built young man of average height, straight white hair with a light-blue tint to it, purple eyes and like all members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist pointed teeth — one of which sticks out even with his mouth closed. He wears a purple, sleeveless shirt with grey pants, sandals and a belt around his waist with water bottles attached to it. He also wears another belt strapped to his chest which he uses to carry the Kubikiribocho. Due to his special body, Suigetsu is able to alter his body size at will, usually to aid in his techniques and when rendered unconscious, he is reduced to a jelly-like state. Whenever he is seen recovering from these unconscious states he is placed in a large tank of water and resembles a fish-like being.
Personality: Suigetsu appears to be indifferent, caring only for a few things around him. He spends a considerable amount of time mocking and/or being beaten up by Karin. Despite showing initial dislike towards his team-mates, Suigetsu has grown fond of them, and was willing to risk his own life to protect them against the Eight-Tails.
Kisame Hoshigaki claims that Suigetsu is a prodigy in the art of murder, as he has a habit of chopping off his victim's limbs before beheading them. Suigetsu, despite addressing him with the honourific term "senpai", wants to defeat him and take his sword, noting to Sasuke that he will one day serve him as "shark fin soup" (a reference to Kisame's shark-like appearance) after Sasuke suggested that he was not yet strong enough to defeat Kisame, showing it to be a sign of sarcasm rather than respect for Kisame.

Background Info.
Itachi Pursuit Arc
Immediately after Sasuke defeated Orochimaru, he went into one of Orochimaru's many experimentation labs and freed Suigetsu, who was sealed inside a holding tube. After threatening Sasuke, holding his hand in a style reminiscent of the one used to perform his clan's Water Gun Technique, he pointed out that he owed nothing to Sasuke for dealing with Orochimaru as there were many who wanted to do it and it was just a case where Sasuke was able to, because he was always in close proximity to Orochimaru. Suigetsu nevertheless agreed to join him in the hopes of meeting Kisame Hoshigaki and taking Samehada for himself. Once they left, Suigetsu had Sasuke take him to the Land of Waves to retrieve Zabuza's Kubikiribōchō from his grave. In the anime, the story of Suigetsu obtaining Zabuza's sword was expanded and lengthened out slightly for this episode in order to facilitate an earlier display of his abilities. The sword in question was taken from Zabuza's grave by a politician and crime boss named Tenzen Daikoku, who wanted to take the sword as a trophy, and for "revenge" after losing many men during Zabuza's attempted coup years before.
They then went to the base where Karin resided, where Suigetsu was instructed to free all the prisoners. Before releasing them, however, Suigetsu told them to spread the word that Sasuke killed Orochimaru, and would bring peace to the world. As Sasuke hadn't ordered him to say these things, his motives appear to be unclear.
Once Karin was persuaded to join, they headed to meet with Jūgo. They had to fight their way through an army of people branded with the Cursed Seals to reach him, and, under Sasuke's orders, were told not to kill any of them whilst subduing them. When they found Jūgo, who promptly attacked them, Suigetsu attempted to kill him. However, Sasuke intervened, and threatened to kill both of them if they didn't stop fighting. Jūgo eventually calmed down, and, with some persuasion on Sasuke's part, was recruited. Afterwards, Sasuke told them their mission and their new team's name; they would be known as "Hebi", and their mission was to find Itachi Uchiha.
Soon afterwards the team split up, searching for information about Itachi's whereabouts. This led Suigetsu to a bank where Akatsuki member Kakuzu's banker Ginji was. Recognising him as such, Suigetsu threatened him to talk. Seeing Deidara's large suicide bomb's explosion, Suigetsu was drawn to the site of Sasuke's battle with Deidara, where he had used a special seal to summon Manda and had used the snake to escape the explosion. It had, however, been a little too late, and Manda died, making Suigetsu tell Sasuke that he should treat animals a little better.
After they had rested and continued on their way, Sasuke found Itachi in an Akatsuki hideout. The clone of Itachi then guided Sasuke to an Uchiha hideout. On their way there, the group encountered Kisame Hoshigaki, who told them Sasuke must go alone. Leaving Hebi behind, Suigetsu challenged Kisame to a battle, who gladly accepted, while Sasuke finally made Itachi's death a reality. It was later revealed that Zetsu interfered in the fight, leaving both Suigetsu and Kisame alive.
Invasion of Pain Arc
Hebi, now renamed "Taka", began working with Akatsuki. They went to Kumogakure and confronted Killer B, the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails. Suigetsu attacked him first, but was quickly disarmed. Both Jūgo and Sasuke's individual attempts at subduing Killer B failed as well, and Sasuke would have suffered fatal injuries had Suigetsu not intervened to spare him a finishing blow from the jinchūriki. However, Killer B's electric attack overwhelmed Suigetsu, cleaving a substantial tear in his sword, and it would have severed in half had Sasuke not nullified the attack in time.
After Karin healed Sasuke, Suigetsu, together with Jūgo and Sasuke, engaged Killer B once more to no avail. At one point, Suigetsu succeeded in immobilising Killer B providing an opportunity for Sasuke to use a lightning attack. Unfortunately, to keep Killer B held, Suigetsu voluntarily received Sasuke's lightning technique as well, sustaining considerable damage.
After severely wounding Sasuke, Killer B invokes his tailed beast form in order to deal with the rest of the group. Suigetsu, thrown into the water earlier, emerged, using the body of water, to save his team-mates from what would been a devastating blow. Keeping the Eight-Tails at bay momentarily, Suigetsu valiantly told his weakened team members to escape, though somewhat amused that he was risking his life for them. When Killer B tried to use a Tailed Beast Ball on the team, Suigetsu used himself as a shield, keeping his team-mates safe.
Although Suigetsu was left unconscious, he managed to gain the time Jūgo needed to revive Sasuke. By unleashing Amaterasu on the Eight-Tails, Sasuke was able to turn the tide, at last successfully capturing the Eight-Tails jinchūriki. After the battle was over, Jūgo carried Suigetsu away. While Taka recuperated, Suigetsu recovered in a tank of water. He yelled at Karin for leaving his sword behind, but was later seen to have recovered it.
Five Kage Summit Arc
Once healed, Taka set out for Konoha. Along the way they were intercepted by Tobi, who informed them of Konoha's destruction and their failure to capture the Eight-Tails. He convinced Sasuke to go to the Kage summit to kill Danzō, so Zetsu led them to the Land of Iron. Upon their arrival Suigetsu scouted the area, in order to find a way to the summit, but he found that there were too many samurai patrolling the area. Jūgo found them an alternate route, where they were attacked by the samurai, having been exposed by Zetsu. As Sasuke killed their attackers, Suigetsu pointed out that he (Sasuke) was doing the very thing he forbid him to do. The Fourth Raikage soon arrived to fight Sasuke and Suigetsu tried to help, but the Raikage breaks his Kubikiribōchō in half. He used what remained of his blade to fight Darui, and was able to hold his own, until Darui infused his own blade with electricity, allowing him to overpower Suigetsu and pin him to a wall. When Sasuke destroyed the room they were in, Suigetsu was freed. He retrieved his sword and regrouped with Jūgo. They contemplated following Sasuke and the Raikage, but decided that it would be too dangerous. Instead, they dressed up as samurai to gather information while avoiding drawing attention to themselves, at Suigetsu's suggestion. They were quickly detected, and Jūgo stated that it wasn't the best plan.
Shinobi World War Arc
As the war was being waged, Suigetsu and Jūgo escape their cell in the Land of Iron, having taken care of the guards, and stating that security had got looser. Suigetsu said he wanted to go looking for his Kubikiribōchō, to which Jūgo agrees to help. He then states that Jūgo is nicer than Karin, and then they decide to look for her as well. During their search for the sword, Jūgo asks why Suigetsu, being a person who gets bored easily, is so particularly obsessed with those swords. Suigetsu then reveals his dream of reforming the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and becoming their leader.
Suigetsu and Jūgo escape from the samurai compound. They walk through a forest and discuss their plans. Suigetsu tells Jūgo that even if they reunited with Sasuke and Karin, it wouldn't be a grand reunion of sorts as Karin wanted Sasuke to herself in order to seduce him. As they continue onwards, Suigetsu tells Jūgo that they'd continue to get in Karin's way which was his second favourite thing to do after collecting swords. They proceed to head towards one of Orochimaru's hideouts. On the way there, they learn about the war. After arriving, Jūgo and Suigetsu have a brief conversation before Jūgo loses control and attacks Suigetsu, who is unharmed. Breaking into a wall, Orochimaru's secret room is discovered and within it, Suigetsu finds a scroll — the contents of which shock him somewhat. He takes the scroll stating that it could be beneficial to Sasuke and to possibly gain control of the war.
Later, when Sasuke was being tormented by thoughts concerning what he was, Jūgo and Suigetsu broke through the ceiling and declared that they had finally found him. Suigetsu examined Kabuto's body and expressed his disgust at Kabuto's navel-snake while Jūgo found Anko unconscious on the cave's floor. When Sasuke asks them their purpose of coming there, Suigetsu handed him the scroll — the one with which he exclaimed that their group Taka could use that to rule the shinobi world with — and making him cognisant of reincarnated Madara's presence even though Itachi forced Kabuto to release Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation, which leaves Sasuke somewhat surprised.
After Sasuke declared that he would revive Orochimaru, Suigetsu vehemently opposed this and tried dissuading Sasuke from his actions to no avail. When Orochimaru emerged from Anko's Cursed Seal of Heaven, Suigetsu retreated behind Kabuto's immobile body and sheepishly greeted his former captor. Shocked when he heard that Orochimaru was not interested in the war that was going on, Suigetsu then quickly relocated to the other side of the cave when Orochimaru moved towards Kabuto. Declaring that Orochimaru was going to kill Kabuto, he is corrected by Jūgo who noted that Orochimaru was only draining his own chakra from within Kabuto. He later listened on, confused as Orochimaru told Sasuke that they were going somewhere he knew well.
Suigetsu has great skills with futon. He can perform high level futon jutsus with only one handseal. He also has great knowledge on the element.

Tekken will fuk your life up. The game is the epitomy of the phrase "easy to learn, difficult to master." Virtua Fighter is a great game in it's own right. As is any Street Fighter. But Tekken is the pinnacle of fighting games. The newest Tekken, Tekken 4, is however a shallow and hollow version of the greatest fighting game ever, Tekken Tag Tournament.
I got hooked at Tekken 2. Good thing Tekken 4 is a piece of crap, otherwise i would have never been able to get away from the game.

A good fighting game that requires an IQ above 10 in order to master. Skill in this game is a rare occurance and is often ridiculed by newbies.
How good one does depends on the skill of the player, not measured in:
SKILL = DAYS x YEARS

A fighting game for the Playstation or Playstation 2 console. It has mixed reactions in people, for instance, some people don"t like the game because the characters fight like robots, or some people think it is the best fighting game ever.
Tekken is a fighting game, pure and simple.

Tekken is the SHIT. I have been playing this game for 3 years and I still play it because it fucking owns. I have Virtua Fighter 4 for ps2 and it sucks major sick. The graphics hurt my eyes and the gameplay is ridiculously slow/boring and I have tried to learn it. Anyone that thinks tekken is a copy or its just a mashing game is a retard. It is a easy game to learn , but to master it , you need practice u fucking Virtua Fighter faggots.
Any Tekken game > Any Virtua Fighter game, period.

Stein am Rhein is a lively and very charming small town. Among the sights are the Monastery of St. Georgen, one of the best-preserved Medieval monastery complexes, the Lindwurm Museum depicting 19th century bourgeois and agricultural life as well as the holiday areas and excursion destinations that include the island group of Werd. The Hohenklingen Castle, which was built high above the town in 1225, brings to life the colorful history of Stein am Rhein.
It is here that the oldest house of worship in the Canton of Schaffhausen is found, a church dedicated to St. John the Baptist in the midst of wall remnants of the Roman fortress Tasgetium, which was built in the 3rd century A.D.

For decades, efforts to end world poverty have focused on redistributing wealth, rather than creating it. This approach, however, has done little to foster long-term economic progress in Africa.

Is the U.S. Provoking an Arms Race in Space? Recorded: Tuesday, February 12, 2008
February 12, 2008
The Independent Institute, Oakland, CA
The 1967 Outer Space Treaty designated space for peaceful purposes as the province of all mankind. Virtually all spacefaring nations now favor a new treaty to accommodate major changes in geopolitics and military technology. The United States, however, has blocked negotiations, citing potential threats to U.S. rights, capabilities, and freedom of action. Some self-proclaimed space warriors even argue that U.S. military dominance in orbital space will be the only guarantee for international peace. But in Twilight War: The Folly of U.S. Space Dominance, Mike Moore, former editor of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, argues that such American exceptionalism, Will not guarantee American security; it will guarantee conflict, and possibly, a new cold war. Come join us for a stimulating forum on what could be the most crucial national security issue of this century.
Mike Moore is Research Fellow at The Independent Institute, former editor of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and author of the book, Twilight War: The Folly of U.S. Space Dominance. He is the author of many articles on national security, conflict resolution, nuclear weapons and proliferation, space weaponry, and related topics. Mike has spoken at many professional conferences and meetings sponsored by scientific organizations and policy institutes.

I do not envy Billabong Pro Contest Director Luke Egan's job—at least not on days like today. With the waiting period winding down and swell forecasts looking less that stellar, ol' Louie hasn't got a ton of options so he was forced to run in pretty miserable—yet definitely contestable—conditions. It's a tough job but if anyone can pull it off, it's Luke.
Speaking of miserable, Tahiti's own Michel Bourez had shocker against Brazil's Heitor Alves. With the crowd cheering for his every move and friend Raimana Van Bastolaer trying to get him into the right spot, the local boy was flat out unlucky. Visibly frustrated, Bourez punched his board in anger and buried his head in the channel. He's such a good human you really want to see him do well, but it just didn't happen today.
Freddy P should interview this gal aboard the Femme Nu boat he's been cruising…
Later in the day, high flying Aussie Josh Kerr took out world #3 Freddy Patacchia—who rolled up on a boat appropriately named Femme Nu—to dash the Hawaiian's hope of another good result.
It seems like we've been here forever and have yet to see Parko and Kelly surf with a jersey, and Andy is one heat deep into his first contest of the year, but if conditions stay on the smallish side as forecasted, look for guys like Taj Burrow, Ace Buchan, Kerrsy, and other fleet of foot surfers to do some damage by mixing in bug turns with the odd barrel. From all the reports, the comp is going to banged out the next few days so stay tuned to www.billabongpro.com to watch the action live!—JC
ASP Press Release And Results:
TEAHUPOO, Tahiti (Wednesday, May 13, 2009) – The Billabong Pro Tahiti presented by Air Tahiti Nui navigated challenging weather patterns today, completing eight heats amidst varying wind and swell conditions.
Stop No. 3 of 10 on the 2009 ASP World Tour, the Billabong Pro Tahiti ran the final two heats of Round 1 today before the opening six heats of Round 2 despite putting competition on hold at various points to wait out inclement weather.
"It was definitely a struggle out there today and I wasn't very happy with what the weather was doing," Luke Egan, Billabong Pro Contest Director, said. "The winds and swell were shifting quite a bit this morning which was frustrating, but the afternoons have been providing the best windows for running the contest so thankfully we were able to pick off a few heats at the end of the day."
Despite the challenges faced today, the world's best surfers logged some excellent performances.
Taj Burrow (AUS), 30, current ASP World No. 7, netted the day's highest heat total of a 15.33 out of a possible 20, comboing his opponent Marlon Lipke (DEU), 25, with razor-sharp backhand tube sense en route to his Round 2 heat win.
"I actually thought Marlon (Lipke) started out with a really good one and that made me pretty nervous," Burrow said. "I guess he wasn't able to get deep enough and didn't really get the score though. After that, I just had to select the ones that let me get in the tube long enough and was able to grab a couple of 7's so it turned out well for me."
Despite opening up the season with an equal 3rd, Burrow stumbled at Bells Beach with an equal 17th. The perennial ASP World Title contender will look to rebound in Tahiti, a venue that has historically been difficult for him.
"I've had an up and down start to this season," Burrow said. "Went well on the Gold Coast and was unlucky at Bells and now we're here at Teahupoo. I haven't got a result out here in a few years, but I'm staying up the road at Papara with the Riou family and I've been putting some time into this event so hopefully it pays off."
Burrow will face ASP Dream Tour veteran Kieren Perrow (AUS), 32, in Round 3 of the Billabong Pro Tahiti
Josh Kerr (AUS), 25, into his second jaunt on the elite ASP World Tour, caused the upset of the day, eliminating current ASP World No. 3 Fred Patacchia (HAW), 27, in the dying moments of their Round 2 bout. After sitting with priority for over 10 minutes, Kerr steamrolled through a backhand double barrel to get the highest single-wave score of the day, an 8.83 out of a possible 10, and come away with the win.
"It was a long wait being patient and there wasn't really anything coming through," Kerr said. "I was losing it a bit out there, but thankfully, I had priority when that set came through and the wave I took was the good one. I got the score and am stoked to move through."
Kerr will battle Michael Campbell (AUS), 35, in Round 3 of the Billabong Pro Tahiti.
C.J. Hobgood (USA), 29, former ASP World Champion (2001) and past winner at the Billabong Pro Tahiti (2004), dominated the opening heat of Round 2 today, netting a 14.50 out of a possible 20 to eliminate Phillip MacDonald (AUS), 30, from Billabong Pro Tahiti competition.
"Phil (MacDonald) and I had a free surf before and it was sunny and we got some fun ones then when we started the heat, the squall hit us," Hobgood said. "He (MacDonald) sat there waiting for a wave that never came and I notched up some backup scores. You never want to win heat like that. It was unfortunate for him, but at the end of the day, that's professional surfing sometimes."
Currently rated No. 5 on the 2009 ASP World Tour, Hobgood is in an excellent position to capitalize at the infamous lefthanders of Teahupoo.
"I look forward to coming here every year and Tahiti is definitely one of my favorite stops on tour," Hobgood said. "I've had a pretty good start to the year, but it's going to take a lot to catch Joel (Parkinson) at this point. I'm hoping for a good result here."
Hobgood will take on Jay Thompson (AUS), 25, in Round 3 of the Billabong Pro Tahiti.
Thompson, first replacement surfer on the ASP World Tour and current ASP World No. 14, continued his roll this season, eliminating dangerous young gun Jeremy Flores (FRA), 21, in Round 2 of competition today. Thompson secured the highest single-wave score of the day, an 8.83 out of a possible 10, for an excellent backhand pit.
"Jeremy (Flores) can be really, really dangerous out here," Thompson said. "He's spent a lot of time in Tahiti and knows the wave really well so I wasn't taking him lightly at all. It's pretty difficult out there, but you can still pick a couple in between the wind and rain. Fortunately for me, that one at the end really opened up and allowed me to get through."
Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 6:30am to assess conditions for a possible 7:30am start.
Surfline, official forecasters for the Billabong Pro Tahiti, are calling for a moderate WSW swell to continue through the next couple of days, with projected favorable winds for tomorrow.
When competition resumes, up first will be Taylor Knox (USA), 27, up against Kai Otton (AUS), 29, in Heat 7 of Round 2.

Here's some pictures!
Beautiful day with a whole bunch of great hosts and guests, great weather, great food, great boats, and great pond. Doesn't get any better than that!!!
SubRon4 Rocks! Big Dave won the much anticipated Tug pull with the little Toot. Kevin tried both of his tugs, and lost both times. Great event guys.
Kevin was still able to provide many rescues with his Tugs after losing the tug o' war. I know he is conjuring up another boat for the re-match.
BD also awed the crowd with his "water bug" and his "shameless" experimental boats. Everyone got out of the water to watch them go; or was it to ensure BD didn't hit them with the experimental boats?

Hey Michael, how about re-benchmarking i915 gallium vs classic?
Phoronix: Intel Gallium3D Gets sRGB Textures
The Intel "i915g" Gallium3D driver now implements sRGB textures support, but this is basically the end of the road for new features...
Hey Michael, how about re-benchmarking i915 gallium vs classic?
915 with OpenGL 2.1? Wow. I didn't know the hardware was capable of that. Thought you needed Gen 4 hardware for that. Mesa and Windows are on OpenGL 1.4.
Last edited by AlbertP; 06-27-2012 at 08:21 AM.
I'll try it on a 915GM as soon as it hits the oibaf PPA.
On that laptop, HP Compaq nc6120, 3D acceleration is somehow very choppy with both Mesa and Gallium. But that's maybe because it still runs Mint 11 with Linux 2.6.38. Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon from a Live DVD runs quite well on the old gpu so maybe that newer version will also have faster glxgears.
It' helps intel driver to run wayland?
Nice to know that there's a i915g PPA. I thought it was just for cutting edge Mesa.
I'm stuck on a 945gm for a few days as my laptop is repaired. Gonna give this a try to see if it performs any better than classic.
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on i915 (chipset: 945GM)
OpenGL version string: 2.0 Mesa 8.1-devel (git-6404095 precise-oibaf-ppa)
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
Last edited by LLStarks; 06-27-2012 at 01:44 PM.
@LLStarks: Intel i915g is included in the PPA but not automatically enabled. Instructions on running a program with Gallium3D rendering are in the PPA's description.
Note that i915g is only for 91x/94x hardware (GMA 900 and 950 aka Gen 3; correct me if I'm wrong) and not for newer Intels.

All Foods Natural is a site about cooking natural, using natural condiments, herbs and spices, and fresh seasonal ingredients. Organic food is our choice; however, we use the best of what we have at hand. Our diet is moderately low in fat, aware of portion sizes and includes all food groups. For us, variety plays an essential role in a healthy diet.
The newsletter Food Naturally still will be published. Sign up here or at All Foods Natural Facebook page.
All Foods Natural started as a typical HTML site, and then was recreated using Open Source CMS packages, first Joomla! and thne Drupal 6 with Moodle for online learning. All Foods Natural migrated to Drupal 7. It has been working as a membership site, and publishes the newsletter Food Naturally. The writers and editors were voluntaries, usually writing their first published pieces. We wanted to maintain it as an example of all the things a website can be. That is not going to be possible. Some of All Foods Natural contributors are about to publish cookbooks, or plan to do it in the near future. They are going to write about similar topics and, understandably, they do not want to have the same content freely available online.
The blog, Food Naturally, was a Wordpress blog. All Foods Natural also offered some simple software products such as screensavers, and food games that could have been considered precursors of the modern apps.
All Foods Natural is in the process of shutting down. The recipe club has been closed to new subscribers for some time and the recipe contests have finished. Most of the content and recipes has been migrated to World Food & Wine. The content from the private zone will be published in different books.

Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday
Even if ya ain't here homes-Live it up on this day! Wait...I'm probly a lot late....lol
Dude, where are you?
So what's the deal with the GP man? It's been a while since I handed in that promo now, and I don't see any update on the show going up.
No ill feelings at all, Shag. Now put your vagina away, yer big girly.
Nobody called you a lair, Maggs. Just pointing out that if you wanted to, you would have messaged me.
And the subsequent three posts you made within an hour conversing with Tommy about your decision: no time for that either? I'm not picking a fight, but I find it a bit shitty that - as your tag team partner - I never got a courtesy message and you can say "lack of time" as much as you want but it's bollocks. I've even waited nearly a week later for you to say something and you haven't, and you have been online and posting. But what's done is done. All the best, Maggs.
I know about the post. I also know it takes mere seconds to send a PM or a VM saying "Bro, I've not got time to do this tag team anymore. Sorry."
Black Ninja!

This will be Davey Johnson's 17th and final season as a manager.
With the countdown to spring training in its final stages, we're counting down the five biggest storylines facing the Nationals in Viera. We continue today with spring storyline No. 2: Davey Johnson's farewell tour…
Davey Johnson never expected to be back in a big-league dugout in the first place. So, really, everything that's happened since he donned the uniform again in 2011 has been gravy.
"Shoot, I thought it was my last year 10 years ago," he said earlier this winter.
Johnson, though, didn't agree to become the Nationals' manager 1 1/2 years ago just for kicks. He sensed a franchise on the verge of something big, and he wanted to help it reach those previouslyRead more »

World Series and Trust…
- Joe Seamhead - Feb 10, 2013 at 4:24 PM
I feel like we all have been privileged to have had Mr. Johnson for the manager of our team. I said the day that he took the job that the fortunes of the NL East had just changed and that the baton had been passed from the Phillies to the Nats and the Braves. I am looking forward to this, his last year at the helm, with the same expectations that he has expressed. We're going for the gold ring and we have a great chance of getting it.GYFNG!!!
- SonnyG10 - Feb 10, 2013 at 4:35 PM
All the boys will be working extra hard to send Davey out in style. Should be a great ride for us to tag along.
- Uncle Atom - Feb 10, 2013 at 5:03 PM
Looking forward to wearing my #5 Davey Johnson jersey to lots of games this year. World Series or bust!

As Curly said, … one thing, just one thing….
- JayB - Feb 10, 2013 at 5:38 PM
He is going to have to manage differently in the post season. This year he clearly was going to stick with "his guys" and let them win it or lose it. Faced with plenty of Data that Danny was done he refused to adjust. That will not get you a world championship and he knows it. Watch for a much more proactive manager in the post season. He knows he made some really poor decisions in Oct last year.
- Gonat - Feb 10, 2013 at 5:47 PM
JayB, I'm in agreement with you. I thought so at the time that EJax didn't deserve to be the 4th starter and Danny was slumping.
- peric - Feb 10, 2013 at 5:53 PM
Faced with plenty of Data that Danny was done he refused to adjust. That will not get you a world championship and he knows it.Espinosa had a torn rotator cuff injury. Let's see you swing a bat with that JayB. You'd look like a limp noodle up there dude. Sheesh.LaRoche had the same issue in 2011. How did he hit?But, yeah Danny can be stubborn and not going through with the surgery is just another indicator of that … BUT if LaRoche couldn't "adjust" to the injury how is that Danny suddenly should?
- peric - Feb 10, 2013 at 5:56 PM
In any case I don't see how Espy will be able to play an entire season with that torn rotator cuff and be effective at the plate. Its seems almost a foregone conclusion that Lombardozzi will eventually end up as the starting 2nd baseman with Rivero backing him up. As Danny goes under the knife.A sad turn of events for a truly great athlete who seemed destined to become a great baseball player.
- JaneB - Feb 10, 2013 at 6:03 PM
I'm so glad we have Davey at the helm. And I am embarrassed to say how many times I come to this site, just to see the countdown clock counting down.

Do some research on torn Rotator cuff. (Wiki: Rotator_cuff) It ain't that simple.
- JayB - Feb 10, 2013 at 6:48 PM
Danny was supposed to sit not hit P.Drew was supposed to rest for game 5 not pitch useless innings leading up to it.Ajax was supposed to sit and let Mathews pitch where he had proven himself all year. Davey should have walked to get the closer out once he lost the lead. Tons of poor manager moves in the post season.

peric said… Espinosa had a torn rotator cuff injury. Let's see you swing a bat with that JayB. You'd look like a limp noodle up there dude. Sheesh.____________________________I guess you are responding to JayB but the issue isn't fighting through pain the issue is going to your Manager and getting it checked out. Maybe Espi is put on the DL when the injury occurred and why didn't he have off-season surgery if there's a high likelihood that he can't make it through a full season.All in all is he hurt the team offensively down the stretch and especially in the playoffs where his slash was .067/.176/.067/.243 with just 1 hit.
- SCNatsFan - Feb 10, 2013 at 8:41 PM
Regardless if Espinoza or Johnson knew the extent of the injury Danny was horrid at the end of the year; leaving him the lineup at that point is something I have to defer to Johnson on but it turned out to be wrong. Ah hindsight, isn't it beautiful.

- whatsanattau - Feb 10, 2013 at 8:48 PM
So you're saying Davey sucks? Please. That's just crazy talk. Kind of like saying that Rizzo sucked or that the bench sucked in 2012. Those things were not true then and these current charges are equally misguided.Of course if you want to insist that Davey makes too many mistakes, then just hold on. You won't have to worry about him in 2014.
- JayB - Feb 10, 2013 at 9:04 PM
Davey was managing like he was playing with house money. Like he had already banked his profit with the 98 wins and the post season was just a icing on his year. That is not how you win WS. Love Davey and he is going to manage much differently this Oct if he get the chance. Ask any number of teams in past years. No guarantee of making it back the next year. Angles had lots of talent the past year. The fact that Davey and Rizzo did not go all out to win last year was short sighted in my view. We shall see if they make it back and if so what Davey has learned.
- Tony - Feb 10, 2013 at 9:12 PM
If there's only one thing that Davey has learned in his long career it has to be that guys like JayB don't know squat.
- JayB - Feb 10, 2013 at 9:15 PM
16 years 2283 1286 995 .564 1.9 1 Pennant and 1 World Series TitleSay it again and say it often. Davey is the single most important reason this team has turned things around. That said….He blew the post season and if you read all the quotes all Sept and Oct…..you can see why. He did not make winning in 2012 the priority. We shall see what this year brings.
- JayB - Feb 10, 2013 at 9:18 PM
Yea….playing Danny in October instead of Lombo was really smart. Pitching Drew what 4 days in a row and letting him implode on the mound was smart too….come on…Davey is great…..but he makes mistakes…..and in game 5 and those leading up to it….he made plenty of mistakes.
- Sec. 3, My Sofa - Feb 10, 2013 at 9:52 PM
Storen didn't blow the save because he was overused. He was nibbling, not aggressive, i.e., green. And he did not get a couple of calls, apparently. A day off won't fix that.
- sjm308 - Feb 10, 2013 at 9:55 PM
One thing I have learned in the months and months of waiting for pitchers and catchers is that JayB was/is not happy with how Davey managed in Oct. How have I learned that?? Because he posts the same damned thing day after day, week after week. Those of us how come here on a regular basis get what you are trying to say. Please please please find a new rant. Here is an idea – why don't you complain about our bench?? Oh wait, that might have been the 2011 rant. Sorry I am not much help here. Just stop!!
- sjm308 - Feb 10, 2013 at 9:56 PM
"those of us who come here"
- John C. - Feb 10, 2013 at 9:57 PM
P&C report tomorrow! Must be time for some to complain about the team. Ah, spring …I'm happy to have another harbinger of Spring, and another baseball season, on the way. I'm happy that Davey is managing the ballclub this season, and really happy that the legions of mind reading smarter-than-thou types are not. The worst kind of baseball moves are the ones that don't work, and if they don't work, someone "smarter" will point out how the man in the arena should have done it. Davey knows that second-guessing is an occupational hazard. It's proven in here every day.Best 25 go North!
- Joe Seamhead - Feb 10, 2013 at 11:21 PM
I'm with sjm308.Somebody pull the plug on the jukebox for crying out loud. JayB, one more strike from Storen and you wouldn't have any claim to after-the-fact genius status.Give it a break, will you? Do you have any idea how wrong you were with all of your predictions about the bench last year? Or about many other of Rizzo's moves? Or how you thought the team would finish before the season started? Nothing you, or anyone else, can say will ever take the joy out of what Davey Johnson brought to this town last year.
- Joe Seamhead - Feb 10, 2013 at 11:30 PM

But I will say, the irony with perfectionists is that they succeed far less often than satisficers, for whom "good enough" is good enough.
- Sec. 3, My Sofa - Feb 10, 2013 at 11:52 PM
Some people look at things as they are and ask why. Some people look at things that never were, and think "I can do that."
- Sec. 3, My Sofa - Feb 10, 2013 at 11:54 PM
I think Bob Dylan said that.
- JayB - Feb 11, 2013 at 12:00 AM
My prediction for 2012 was 90 wins. The bench was great….I was wrong…not about DeRosa and Cameron and that crap Rizzo always picks up. I did not know Lombo, Moore and Roger would all come online as they did. Love the young guys. Hate the Rizzo vets…..M. Owens…..come on enough with those guys. Oliver Perez….just crap signs year after year. Problem is they take AB's away from T. Moore types.
- sjm308 - Feb 11, 2013 at 12:27 AM
JayB – no one (at least not I) is claiming you are not a fan and have a great affection for our team. Again, you have made your thoughts known so please move on which it appears you have with this last post. I also want to see T. Moore play more.

Believe me….I want to move on badly…I can not wait until we have our first game and we can follow the standings and stats in 2013. This post was about issues facing the team. Davey one of the top 5 managers in the game right now but he does not get a pass from me for being old, or beloved, or super smart as Gibbs loved to say. He has to prove it and he has to make better decisions than he did in 2012 in the Playoffs. He has to win.
- MicheleS - Feb 11, 2013 at 1:41 AM
There will always be those who complain. Those who have no joy in today. Those whose bitterness override the happiness in the moment. I feel no pity for them, for I will not walk among them.
- peric - Feb 11, 2013 at 1:52 AM
Peric I still think it is Rendon not Lombo playing second as the playoffs startRendon hasn't played 2nd base regularly at all? He may get some reps there in ST but then he goes back to third in the minors. That will not be enough preparation to come up an play 2nd at the major league level. If Zimmerman goes down again its likely either Rendon or Rivero gets the spot.As far as second base its Lombardozzi not Rendon at this point. If Lombo goes down then its Rivero … given Espinosa going under the knife. That's how the depth chart is aid out. Rendon isn't a UTL people. He is a projected starter at third base at this point. And then Zim moves to first.
- peric - Feb 11, 2013 at 1:55 AM
Plus they've got to find a way to get Tyler Moore as close to 500 bats as possible. That's going to be one of Davey's big challenges this season. Given the respective ages of Werth and LaRoche and Espy's rotator cuff I don't see that as an impossible task.
- Tony - Feb 11, 2013 at 2:05 AM
If Tyler Moore can wrestle one of those ABs away from Oliver Perez he'll be almost there.
- Tony - Feb 11, 2013 at 2:23 AM
If Tyler Moore gets anywhere close to 500 ABs this year, the terrorists will have won.

My Sofa at 6:45–"Bob Dylan's Dream"?By the early 1970s my friend's Dad had already shortened Bobby's Kennedy's words to "Some say why, I say why not." He said it boldly and he said it often! No one ever corrected him.

isn't that actually from George Bernard Shaw's play that line 'some say why…'?

Watch peric soon as Danny comes out the box slow you will see Rendon playing 2B in the minors getting ready for late season in DC

- peric - Feb 11, 2013 at 6:28 AM
Watch peric soon as Danny comes out the box slow you will see Rendon playing 2B in the minors getting ready for late season in DC.Then what do you do with Lombardozzi who has put the requisite time in the minors and specs out as a decent starting second baseman? He isn't really well suited to the UTL role by comparison to Rivero and even Espy. And Anthony Rendon isn't a UTL. And Zim many not last at third base. If Rendon comes up it will either be at third base to replace an injured Zim or for a bench role. He projects as a starter. Using him in bench role would make player development extremely unhappy. They weren't happy about Lombo in that role until Davey promised 300+ AB's. Anything is possible but I just don't see Rendon moving to second base as long as Lombardozzi is on the roster.
- peric - Feb 11, 2013 at 6:30 AM
And Tony is still meeting with the Ku Klux Klan. Must be the ecumenical council version … its going on far too long.
- grizzskinner - Feb 11, 2013 at 8:27 PM
I hope if Espy can't get the job done because of his injury that he would be frank with Davey so we don't have to suffer through many poor performances before Lombo comes in and Danny goes under the knife.

You're not a horse racing expert, but you can act like one for Saturday's historic Belmont Stakes.
All eyes, including many untrained ones, will be on California Chrome on Saturday as he tries to clinch the first Triple Crown victory in 36 years.
Don't know the first thing about horse racing? It doesn't matter. These seven tricks will help you get in on the spectacle as though you do.
1. Learn the lingo, and use it liberally.
You'll actually get to know something about racing later. For now, just pepper your comments with some jargon.
Before the race, check out race handicappers' predictions, check the tote board for the odds and watch the horses head from the paddock to their posts. Once the race begins, listen to the call, or the horses' running positions — but don't expect to have the foggiest idea what the caller is saying. (Don't worry, the race will only take a few minutes.)
A horse that's a closer runs his best later in a race, a stayer or router is good at running distances and a front-runner runs best at the head of the field. A horse is pinched back if it's held in close quarters, and if it's boxed in it's shut off or pocketed.
Horses' distances from each other in the stretch, or the last straight section of track, are measured by a head, e.g., the length of a horse's head. At the finish line, a photo finish is so close the finish-line camera has to figure out who won, and a dead heat is an exact tie. A horse finishes on the board if he's one of the first four to finish.
2. Know what's at stake, and tell everybody else.
You probably already know that only 11 horses have ever pulled off the feat of winning all three legs of the Triple Crown: the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes.
You might also know that since 1978, 11 have won the the first two legs only to flame out at Belmont. Two years ago, I'll Have Another won the first two legs only to scratch before making it onto track there.
There's a good reason the Belmont Stakes is called the "Test of the Champion." It's tough — very tough. Few competing horses have ever run its 1.5-mile length before, which can make the race hard to handicap, and yield some upsets.
So can rallies by great horses who got pocketed or pinched back in the Derby's more crowded field.
So can rallies by horses that ran in Louisville, then skipped out on the Preakness, giving them a crucial few weeks of rest before the Belmont. Any horse hoping for Triple Crown history must face some better-rested rivals, a fact with which California Chrome's co-owner Steve Coburn is none too pleased.
And plenty of would-be Triple Crown winners have had their hopes dashed by jockey error at Belmont, where jockeys' tactics play a bigger role. California Chrome's 42-year-old jockey Victor Espinoza and thousands of eager fans will hope he avoids the common mistake of moving too soon, or accelerating too early in the race.
3. Handicap the race yourself. (Remember that term?)
You can't feign some authority on horse racing without concocting a fervently held opinion on who will win at Belmont.
California Chrome is the Belmont-bound favorite. But among the handful of horses that could prove his top contenders for Belmont victory, experts say, are Wicked Strong, Commanding Curve, Ride on Curlin and Tonalist.
Wicked Strong was one of the favorites in the Kentucky Derby and finished fourth. As a New York-based horse, he has a home-track advantage — plus, as the Washington Post's Andrew Beyer notes, his lineage is filled with strong distance runners, which could boost his Belmont chances. He's also got the benefit of having skipped the Preakness.
Same goes for Commanding Curve, who will head to Belmont similarly refreshed. He finished second in the Derby after an incredible rally, something analyst and retired jockey Richard Migliore says could boost his Belmont chances.
Ride on Curlin also turned in strong finishes at the Derby as well as at the Preakness, where he came in second. Tonalist hasn't competed in any of the Triple Crown races, but Migliore says his distance-oriented breeding has made him "the horse that everyone should fear."
4. Bet on it.
Nothing screams "I know what I'm doing!" like advising your friends on how to spend their money, right? Right — well, as long as your friends aren't big gamblers. In that case, pay close attention.
Use Colin Bertram's primer to get a handle on what horses' odds mean and what they don't. Remember, a horse's odds reflect not how likely it is to win but how heavily other people are betting or expected to bet on it to win.
Once you've picked your favorites from the field of Belmont contenders and decided what kind of bet you want to make, examine the morning-line odds, which predict what people will probably bet on each horse. (The odds will change once betting actually has begun.)
The first number tells you how much profit your bet will get you should you win, and the second tells you how much you must bet to get it. California Chrome's 3-5 odds at the time of writing mean you have to bet $5 in order to win $3 profit, so if you bet $10 and California Chrome won, you'd get back $16.
5. Trot down Memory Lane.
Recall those halcyon days of horse racing — you know, when the only other sports worth their salt were baseball and boxing, and when your parents hadn't even met yet.
The mechanics of horse racing have changed plenty over the decades. Wealthy dynastic families ruled breeding, not commercial breeders, and as a result, horses were bred for stamina. Today, they're bred for speed.
But most fundamentally, horse racing doesn't have nearly the fan base it did in its heyday, back before pro football, pro basketball, casinos and, well, the internet horned in on its popularity. At racing's zenith, the track was the automatic mecca for gamblers.
6. Honor the greats.
Now you get to the really fun part of exercising your newfound authority: Breathlessly regaling your friends with tales of great races of yore as though you were there.
Bloviate about Secretariat's astounding 1973 Triple Crown, which he won by an unheard-of margin of 31 lengths. As the victor crossed the finish, the runner-up couldn't even fit on the television screen.
Wonder what would have happened if Man o' War, ranked the 20th century's best by Blood-Horse magazine and The Associated Press, had ever run for the Triple Crown. It wasn't around yet when Man o' War raced in the early 20th century, though he did sire some Triple Crown horses.
Reminisce about Kelso, who ran in the early '60s until he was 9 years old. Now all the Belmont contenders are 3-year-olds, and most horses are retired soon after that age to stud duty, which is far more lucrative than racing. (That was impossible for Kelso, who was a gelding, or castrated horse.)
Wax poetic about legendary filly Ruffian — even Secretariat's trainer said she might be better than his most famous horse — whose career was cut tragically short by a broken leg at Belmont in 1975. (You can still pay your respects at her grave at Belmont.)
7. Get ambitious.
If you really want to boost your expert cred, do your homework, and stake out a controversial stance or two. Read up, and weigh in, on hot-button topics like horse breeding habits, nasal strips and the sport's undeniable decline in recent decades — and what could reverse it.
California Chrome's own co-owner Steve Coburn, for one, has grumbled that the growing numbers of Derby contenders that sit out the Preakness before returning for the Belmont have made Triple Crown wins all but impossible, and he wants the rules tweaked so that only colts that run the Preakness can compete at Belmont.
"I honestly believe that if the Triple Crown is not won this year by California Chrome, I will never see it in my lifetime, because there are people out there trying to upset the apple cart," he said. "They don't want a Triple Crown winner. They want a paycheck."
Indeed, the decades-long Triple Crown drought, and the sport's waning popularity, have encouraged talk of tinkering with the format and timing of the three key races, and not just among figures who have, quite literally, a horse in the race. Weigh in on what you think should be done, too.
But don't limit your expressions of your newfound expertise to such existential hand-wringing.
Try picking an underdog to root for Saturday, deeming California Chrome overrated. When you place your bet, try a superfecta, naming the top four horses in the order you expect them to place.
And whatever other stories you tell your friends, make sure to leave room for one still in the making: the first time you bluffed your way through Belmont.
Just wait until next year to tell it. By then, you might actually be an expert.
