Murakami's skating looks good on the surface, but looks can be deceiving. She has an ugly flutz and a UR problem: in the SP, she got a UR and a downgrade, and 3 URs in the FS. She gets good PCS scores, but that can't make up for the deficient TES.

I like Tuktamysheva, I think she should be scored better than japanese skaters
The UR calls Murakami receives are insanely wrong. She deserved one < in the SP and one < in the LP (on the last jump of each of those programs) and that was it. Her PCS in the LP also should have been the highest of the event from my perspective: the choreography flowed and carried an entire idea better than any other and was also the most complex. She won 2012 Skate Canada as far as I am concerned.
I agree with the first post of this thread that Osmond should have been 4th in LP and 3rd overall.

You forgot the main point- David Dore. That answers well to the question about international judges.
What I don't understand in this SC politiking is their stupidity. What exactly do they want to accomplish? The audience is none, arenas are empty, popularity of the sport is below zero. I wouldn't care if it were a domestic Canadian problem. But the problem is it pays negatively on the sport entirely. Japan, China, Korea, even Russia, without ISU support, won't be able to save this sport. Therefore I don't see any grand positive changes in the future, not until Dore retires. He can take his boss with him on his way out.
I find all of this discussion disheartening to say the least. Goldenskate used to be a forum where the merits of the skating were discussed politely and, at times, different posters agreed to disagree. During the last few years this has changed and there is now blatant dislike of skaters with rude and snide comments regarding their appearance, nationality etc.
Would I have had the results a little different? Yes, but I am not about to declare a conspiracy against Suzuki. Especially given that the panel was an international panel.
The treatment of Patrick Chan has also been disgusting at times on this forum. The sarcastic remarks etc. do nothing to help us have proper discussions about our sport.
I quite agree. This thread is really ridiculous.
BTW - Here are the officials:
It is an international panel. There was one Canadian judge.
In all honesty, I don't have that big of a problem with Kaetlyn winning because she did have a lead from the SP, and although Akiko won the LP doing 5 clean triples and Kaetlyn doing 4 triples, Kaetlyn did have an extra double which lessens the TES gap between them. It was close.
PCS: Kaetlyn has a delightful personality and seems to be a very warm, natural performer. I suspect she must have some dance background. I don't object to her getting a higher Performance mark than Akiko. On the other hand, Akiko's Skating Skills, Choreography and Interpretation should really have been higher. 8's and especially 9's for Kaetlyn in the PCS sections are blatantly
I don't recall the booing, but I was at Skate Canada last year and what you say in the bold is true. Maybe not for every single audience member, but this was my impression at the time. Now there is this one sweet lady who has a Canadian sweater who brought multiple flags to cheer for skaters from other countries. Canadian flag, American flag, Japanese flag, etc. to suit her needs. But, as far as general noise-level goes, I agree with you.
What are some other factors that may have swayed some judges?
- as others mentioned, maybe it was trying to overcompensate for guilt from the SP under-estimation of Osmond.
- maybe they are trying to win small favours for the 2013 Worlds-to-be?
I don't have a huge problem with Kaetlyn being given the win here, because I don't quite "get" Akiko enough to rave about her. But come on, where in Kaetlyn's LP did she deserve 9's in any PCS? I can't help but be suspicious about that.
It's also worth noting that the the British Eurosport commentators applauded the Canadian crowd at the Olympics for cheering loudly for every skater after Suzuki's skate. Indeed, they had more praise for the audience than the skater, it seemed. Skate Canada did seem quiet, and I'd be interested if the audience has shifted.
Chuck, yeah - they booed the low scores of R/H in the SD. At 4CC Colorado, the audience booed the low scores of the Shibs and D/W. At the Olympics, the Turin audience jeered the low scores of F-P/M in the OD. Chuck, which competitions did you go to in Canada (which cities).
let's talk, I think you're argument presents the long term problem, but the thing is, most individuals don't need to think long term (consider, as an analogy, the cost of pollution by big companies). In the long run, I agree, it doesn't help (and we've seen that recently with Canadian Nationals losing it's major sponsor in the Bank of Montreal and it's struggle to find another one). Truthfully, I'm not sure to what extent David Dore is the problem, though I will point out that in the run-up to Worlds 2007, Skate Canada didn't have a particularly close relationship with Dore once he left to work with the ISU - something they hoped to remedy, admittedly.
Actually, having been a member of this board for 10+ years, although there's some truth to this (I'll get to that in a sec), I must say things were hardly all sunshine and roses even back then. Posters have always had their favorites and that fact has ALWAYS influenced discussion and opinions not just around here, but on other skating forums. And fan favorites don't really balance out so much...many skaters tend to have more fans (or at least more vocal ones) than others, and it shows in the discussions. this is HARDLY a new issue.
However, I agree about the general tone becoming somewhat more hostile in recent years. It began with the Kim/Asada fanwars around 2008, I think. But then the makeup of GS has changed significantly (IMO) in the past few years as well.
Thank you for this! My friends and I have always felt great fondness for Katia and Yags. And Scotty was pretty much an honourary Canadian! At SC, Fernandez got a standing O, according to what I saw on tv.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)-- The Denver Post has already pinned (6) Grand Junction's week three match up with (9)Ralston Valley as the game of the week.
However, there's a lot more riding on week three for other Western Slope teams. The Fruita Wildcats are in need of a win after dropping two consecutive games, and the No. 17 Montrose Indians are facing their first-ranked opponent.
We break it all down in this week's Sideline Showcase with Greg Wentzel from The Team - 1340 AM.

A fall can change your life. We are all concerned about injuries related to falls. Did you know that one in three people over age 65 fall? And, if you have fallen once, it is likely that you will fall again (mayoclinic.org)? Besides osteoporosis, there may be other factors that contribute to falls: heart disease, diabetes, other medical conditions, side effects of medications, judgment problems, lack of exercise, inattention, vision problems, clutter. Whatever the reason, you can learn how to prevent falls with Janet Platt, OTR. Friday, November 8, Noon – 1 p.m. Medical Bldg, Conference Room 5

Amazon's top toy tips for Christmas
The tension reaches boiling point. Faces swell and bloom red, and eyes dart one way to another, rarely taking in the surroundings, yet fully aware of the similarly single-minded throng that's forming. Elbows start to twitch, poke and flail as the crowd jostles for position. The air is thick with perspiration and anxiety...
...It's Christmas time again. And the queue outside the toy store is rammed with eager parents, willing to sacrifice a shoe, tooth or clump of hair in order to get their kids the latest thing; the hottest toy; the one piece of moulded plastic that will grant the family some blessed relief for the holidays (no matter their religious persuasion).
Failure is not an option.
Which is why it's always a wonder that they don't just order the latest toys via the Internet. Certainly, Amazon, with its wishlists and pre-orders, is geared up for delivering the right present at the right time. There's no need to punch a middle-aged divorcee for the blue Power Ranger any more. No matter how much fun that sounds.
And to help, Pocket-lint spent a morning playing with the latest toys - the ones that Amazon believes will be high on most kids' (and some adults') gift lists - just so you can be fully prepared before the rest of the cattle stampede.
Shipping in August for around £28, the Star Wars Lightsaber Room Light is remote controlled, with several different colours of light (including purple - Mace Windu, in geek speak), wall-mountable, and you have to build it yourself.
Its soft lighten modes mean the lamp is excellent as a night light, and young Star Wars fans will love its form factor. Obviously, older ones will too.
Mattel's Loopz is an electronic game that is, essentially, a modernised version of Simon. However, there's many more modes than just the simple "repeat after me" type of gameplay.
You can even play it just as an instrument, and, as it works by the player crossing beams in each of its slots with just their hands, the whole experience is something akin to a Jean Michel Jarre concert.
It's not cheap, costing around £35 on launch, but it's a game the whole family can play.
Another, more cerebral family electronic game comes in the guise of Mind Flex.
It's very similar to the Star Wars Force Trainer, knocking about last year, although it adds a whole gaming element to the concept.
Basically, you have to control a ball with your mind, or, in actuality, a fan under the ball. The more you concentrate (with the sensors strapped to your head and earlobes), the faster the fan spins, sending the ball higher. The gaming side of things comes with an obstacle course which you must navigate, and definitely gives Mind Flex much more replay value.
At £80, it's also cheaper than the Force Trainer.
The world of kids' electronics and gadgetry is certainly getting some tasty hardware this year.
First up is the VTech Kidizoom Video Camera - essentially, a kiddie Flip. It records up to half-an-hour of 640 x 480 video, and comes in a chunky, easy to handle form (blue and pink versions are available).
The 1.8in TFT LCD full colour screen makes it very easy for the young'uns to see what they're shooting, and they can even edit the footage in the camera itself. It even allows them to add animations (hats, glasses, etc) to moving footage, with live facetracking. And there are three built-in games.
It costs £60, which is far less than we expected, and comes with 256MB of internal memory. There's an SD card slot for expansion.
Leapfrog has launched its Leapster Explorer Gaming Handheld on Amazon (and other stores), and we fully expect it to be very popular for 4 to 9-year-olds on the long build up to the holiday season.
It's a handheld console for kids that costs £59.99 and has a touchscreen display, which uses an easy-to-grip stylus. Games either slot in the back, or can be downloaded straight to the device's 300MB storage capacity via the USB connection and Leapfrog's own website. And, they all have a learn-while-you-play slant.
There are licensed titles such as Dora the Explorer and Toy Story 3, and, as of October, there'll be a click-on camera accessory that will enable the handheld to shoot video.
Huzzah for Leapfrog, it'll certainly keep the kids' mitts off your iPhone.
Finally, in this category, there's even an ebook reader for children. VTech, again, has created the Storio Animated E-Book Reader, which comes with Toy Story 3.
Similar to an adult Kindle, the main difference is that, while the Storio has a smaller screen, it is full colour and allows for animation. It also reads the stories out, and each cartridge can feature supplementary games for 3 to 7-year-olds.
There's also a sturdy see-through plastic cover, which can be closed once the story is under way, with only the forward and reverse buttons available. That'll keep smaller children from pressing everything in sight.
Back to older, if not adult, age ranges, and the Zibits Mini Radio Control Robot and Accessories is actually a longer sentence than each robot is tall.
The miniature droids are even smaller than the remote that controls them, and while they don't really do much (spin round and go forward), they are certainly cute and cheap enough, £9.99 each, to be desirable for kids and office workers alike.
There's also a healthy variety of different-looking Zibits, helping to elevate them into the collectable category, should that be your persuasion.
We've saved the best until last... If you're a dad, that is.
Lego has added a massive Cargo Train set to its Lego City range, which comes with tonnes of track and a varied collection of rolling stock. But the best news, for the David Beckhams out there, it all comes in tiny Lego pieces; you have to build the whole thing yourself.
Obviously, this may not be the best present for a little'un on Christmas Day - they won't be able to play with it until it's built, and it's bad enough having to apply stickers on other presents (why don't they ever do that before boxing them up?). But it could keep an older kid quiet for hours, if not days - a good thing, surely?
At £129.99, it's not cheap, but the amount of stuff crammed into the box, and the healthy, meaty size of the train and cars after its built, represent decent value for money.
Finally, the merchandising assault of Toy Story on the Christmas market will continue, long after the third movie has finished in cinemas, and this next relevant tie-in is, quite simply, a match made in Heaven.
Get this: Toy Story Scalextric. How good is that?
Admittedly, it's only Micro Scalextric (1:64 scale), but is ideal for those who just don't have the space for a full 70's style track.
It certainly works the same; race two cars around a track, trying desperately not to fling them off the corners, and the table, into the cat. However, this time, the cars are modelled on the RC buggy in the movies, and have Woody and Buzz stuck to the top. Result!
It comes in at around £50 and is actually available on Amazon now, if you want to get it and hide it in the cupboard.
Wouldn't have worked on us though. We're devils for peeking...

Under a demonstration announced in November, Medicare will implement a prior authorization process for all power mobility device claims in 7 high risk states—California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Florida, and Texas. The purpose of the project is to circumvent the ability to get fraudulent claims through Medicare's claims payment systems.
The project will occur in 2 stages. During the first stage, claims for power mobility devices will be on 100% prepayment review beginning for dates of service on or after January 1, 2012. The second stage will implement prior authorization for these claims in which the durable medical equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors will review the claims and postmark a notification of denial or approval within 10 days. For more information, physical therapists can view the resources created by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for the December 2 special open door forum on this issue.

1) My obsession with defending Ind: HUH??? I wrote one reply to your post and thats an obsession?? I am not the one, like you, starting a new thread on Indy every other day. Also, I noticed how you didnt answer my question. Didnt your mother ever tell you not to answer a question with a question?
2) GM was contridicted by two of the OL:
Are you serious? what did you expect them to say? it was there fault?? If you watched the game you can draw your on conclusions who was at fault. If you believe manning fine, but the GM and plenty of other people obviously disagree with you.
3) So its ok to blame the Pats O-line because it was "obvious" but if its not "obvious" to you its a big deal and throwing them under the bus. Interesting slant there.
4) Will agree that the pass rush from the giants was worse then what Manning faced vs the Saints, but he was certainly rushed more then you would expect if the OL was doing its job. Also, the OL needs to RUN block and they didnt do a good job of that all day (ok can't wait to see how you twirl that into being Mannings fault). If team can run the ball effectively it eases up the pass rush.
5) I said if you have sustained pressure on a QB, no matter the QB, they will be less effective. Somehow you twisted that into Manning being under more pressure then Brady. It was a general observation, but again you read it the way you wanted too.

A decision at either level finding in favor of the Scout shall be final. Units have no right of appeal of a decision."
"If the initial committee hearing the appeal does not find in favor of the Scout, he or his parent(s) may appeal that decision to the next highest level. If the initial appeal was made at the district level, the next highest level is the council advancement committee. If the initial decision was made at the council level, or if the council advancement committee upheld the unfavorable finding of the district advancement committee, the Scout and his parent(s) may appeal to the national Boy Scout Committee. All requests for appeal shall be made in writing, signed by the Scout and/or his parents, and shall set forth in detail the reasons for requesting an appeal." |
"Upon initial receipt of an appeal, the district and the council advancement committee charged with hearing the initial appeal shall provide for a prompt review to determine the facts. All parties must be interviewed or written statements obtained. Confrontations between opposing parties must be avoided. A written report setting out all details of the appeal and the reasons for the committee's decision shall be prepared and forwarded to the council Scout executive. A copy shall be furnished to the Scout bringing the appeal."
"Appeals to the national Boy Scout Committee shall be processed through the local council, and the local council shall furnish copies of all pertinent documentation to the national committee, including a statement of the council's position on the matter. A copy of the Scout's Eagle Scout Rank Application shall be included. If the Scout's Eagle Scout leadership service project is at issue, a copy of the Eagle Scout leadership service project workbook shall be included. All decisions of the national Boy Scout Committee in reference to appeals shall be final." |
Scoutmaster Conferences
(Quoted from: Advancement Policies #33088, pp. 25-26)
"The requirements for advancement is that the Scout participates in a Scoutmaster Conference, not that he 'passes' the conference...However, even after a negative Scoutmaster conference for the ranks of Tenderfoot to Life, if the Scout desires a board of review, he should be granted his request." |
Boards of Review
(Quoted from: Advancement Policies #33088, p. 30)
"If the board decides that the Scout is not ready to advance, the candidate should be informed and told what he has not done satisfactorily. Most Scouts accept responsibility for not completing the requirements properly. The members of the board of review should specify what must be done to rework the candidate's weaknesses and schedule another board of review for him. A follow-up letter must be sent to a Scout who is turned down for rank advancement, confirming the agreements reached on the actions necessary for advancement. Should the Scout disagree with the decision, the appeal procedures should be explained to him. (See "Appealing a Decision" page 33.)"
Eagle Scout Boards of Review
(Quoted from: Advancement Policies #33088, p. 30)
"Because of the importance of the Eagle Scout Award, a unanimous decision must be reached as to the Scout's qualifications. If a unanimous decision is not reached, the applicant must be informed of his options for appealing the decision and the proper process for an appeal, from page 33 in the Advancement Committee Policies and Procedures manual."

electric blue is an emotion people used to have in the 80s. it was similar to today's version of being emo, but instead of writing in your blog or cutting your arms up, you would want to dance around your bedroom to power ballads, most notably 'electric blue' by icehouse.
i'm so electric blue right now. i don't know whether to get out my cyndi lauper records or sit on the couch and cry over 'children of a lesser god'.

Bryce Harper doesn't sound fazed one bit by his first postseason appearance.
ST. LOUIS — With a pack of reporters firing off questions and trying to get him to admit he's at least mildly caught up in the moment on the eve of the Nationals' first-ever postseason appearance, Bryce Harper refused to concede the point.
"I think you guys are more nervous than we are," the 19-year-old outfielder said. "It's just another game, just another series. I'm excited, but I'm just going to look at it like another game and another place we play and another team we play. I guess when you step in the box it's going to be a lot different with the crowd and everything, but you can't look at it that way."
Across the Nationals clubhouse Saturday evening, that sentiment prevailed. So what if only four of the 25 players on their roster for the National League Division Series have any postseason experience, totaling 67 games? And so what if 21 of the Cardinals' 25 players have been through this before, combining to appear in a staggering 290 postseason games?
The Nationals insist that won't make much of any difference when the two clubs take the field Sunday afternoon for Game 1 of a highly anticipated series.
"I think this team has done it all year, handle our emotions," third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. "This whole year has been

Wow Cueto out already
- JaneB - Oct 7, 2012 at 1:59 AM
We just tuned back in. What happened? The sound on the broadcast is also a mess..can't hear much.
- Swift Eagle - Oct 7, 2012 at 2:06 AM
Cueto hurt himself..so the Reds had to go to the bullpen in the 1st…Strike Zone for Cain appears to be the size of an SUV…This would be the definition of "stealing one" if the Reds win this one…
- baseballswami - Oct 7, 2012 at 2:06 AM
Some kind of injury?
- Eugene in Oregon - Oct 7, 2012 at 2:08 AM
JaneB,Not entirely clear what happened (beyond Mr. Cueto pulling or tweaking something). He was on his eighth or ninth pitch when he pulled up, walked around the mound, then gave up the ball and left the game. There was a bit of odd moment a few pitches beforehand when the batter asked for a timeout, the umpire didn't grant it, but Mr. Cueto stopped himself abruptly and didn't throw the pitch. Not clear — to me, at least — that that led to the problem (whatever it may be), but I guess it could have.

I never thought the MLB playoffs would be sponsored by Avocados….But it appears they are…
- baseballswami - Oct 7, 2012 at 2:24 AM
Everything about this season seems to be unique and unpredictable .Even the sponsors. When I was a kid it would have been liquor and cigarettes.
- Faraz Shaikh - Oct 7, 2012 at 2:32 AM
WOW Noticed Phillips' stance for first time. Gotta be unique. Never seen someone's feet this far apart. Anyways 2-0 Reds on his 2 run home run.
- Steady Eddie - Oct 7, 2012 at 2:40 AM
Thoughts on a couple of posts from. Prior thread:NatsJack @7:01: reminds of these lines from Field of Dreams — Chick Gandil: Musclebound jerk. Eddie Cicotte: Oh, yeah? At least I got muscles. Chick Gandil: No, at most you got muscles!JaneB — correction, we were not swept by the Cards. Remember the Beast's pantomimed grand slam? I don't think the team as a whole feels outclassed as a team by the Cards in that series. (Not saying you in any way suggested we did, just saying that I don't they harbor any particular fears — apart from a healthy respect– for the Cards.) We lost because EJax and Det melted down of their own accord immediately, walking people left and right, WPs, etc.Danny did muff a big DP ball but it's not like the whole team took a nosedive. And after crushing Garcia and Wainwright in the first two games at home, hanging in the third game despite by far the worst start of the year by JZimm, and taking the season series in the last month, I suspect they have a good frame of mind, that we can stand with the Cards and give better than they get.For those media types who are making a big deal of the Cards' "hot finish" (12-4), 7-2 of that stellar record was vs the Astros and Cubs. 4-2 was taking two HOME series from the Nats and low-motivation Reds, and the other win was the tail end of a series they lost to the Dodgers 2-1. We played better than the Cards did in Sept.-Oct. (we were 12-11 vs intending teams compared with their 8-9; we beat non-contending teams 8-2 and they were only 9-6.)Nice to see Cain mortal. It took a while for us to get to him but we did get 3R (incl 2 solo shots back to back by Desi and Danny and 6 hits in 6.2 innings — enough for us to stay in the game and take it to their BP.
- NatsNut - Oct 7, 2012 at 2:50 AM
Cool, calm and collected? Hell, the games haven't even started and I'm feeling the need for a little dram of maalox and bourbon. I think Boz is probably right when he said, "The playoffs are more like the Myocardial Infarction Games."
- baseballswami - Oct 7, 2012 at 2:55 AM
All the teams are good now. And we are among them. As I watch and think how hard it will be to face them, I realize how much they don't want to face us!!! The Reds lose their starter after 8 pitches, recover, move on, and have a new plan for the series. That's tough and flexible – they didn't miss a beat. After 8 months of playing, now an even harder battle. Amazing. This requires extreme fitness and mental toughness to the max. This should be quite a ride.
- Steady Eddie - Oct 7, 2012 at 2:57 AM
NatsNut — I hope that by doing what Werth has told them to do in these games — keeping true to the approach and form that got them here — they will calm US down. (That is, we have a little fear in our guts that they'll be a bundle of tight nerves; I think and hope they'll be guys who are too young and self-confident to seize up from the occasion, and by continuing to look like the team we fell in love with, will make us believe and see that they still are.)
- Steady Eddie - Oct 7, 2012 at 3:06 AM
Swami they don't want to face us.You said it! A lot of good to great hitters in these two lineups tonight, but nothing as relentless as ours from top to bottom. Remember the Cards walking Danny to get to KSuz — who proceeds to get the GW double? Bet they won't do that again.And for all our concern about sending a lefty up against the Cards RH lineup, Ken Rosenthal on MLB.tv just raised that point AA and cited Gio's BAA is actually lower vs righties — an unearthly .197 — than the .233 that lefties are hitting him. Yeah, you can have it in the regular season but you gotta bring it in the postseason to win. I think they will, and it'll be Werth and Harp up top — the canny vet and Wonderboy (who ain't no boy) — who will lead by example.
- baseballswami - Oct 7, 2012 at 3:10 AM
Speaking of wonderboy – he is some kind of kid, isn't he? He sure spouts a lot of cliches in interviews,but considering how often he is interviewed he handles himself so well. I remember Stras's first year – they protected him so much and he was just so awkward. Bryce is really a gem. On and off the field.
- Swift Eagle - Oct 7, 2012 at 3:21 AM
Pagan just kept the ball from his first playoff hit!..Does that mean they'll do that for all 21 of the Nats? Hope they stocked up! Lol
- Doc - Oct 7, 2012 at 3:23 AM
Good someone on the Nats said it.Thanks RZim and Harps!So called playoff experience is greatly exaggerated–mostly by sports writers who need something to write about. Has anybody quantified it? No, and nobody ever will.I put it in the same category as the cowardly 'un-named' scouts for USA-To-Day that opined that the Nats don't have any quick bats on inside pitches. Yeah right, they led the NL in Runs Scored (and 2nd in HR's) since the ASG by hitting soft outside pitches!And speaking about experience, how about the experience of winning 98 games sportsfans!
- Section 222 - Oct 7, 2012 at 3:43 AM
That Nats are where they are because all season long they did one simple thing — win series. So they are perfectly prepared to keep doing that. Don't let one loss get you down, just win the next two. Keep playing hard, then move on to the next team having won more games than you lost. Three more series left. Yes, they are all against tough teams, but we've won series against Reds (twice), the Cards, the Giants (twice), and the Braves (three times). We also have a winning record every single month. If I'm not mistaken, no other team did that this year. Just have to keep doing that — win more games in October than you lose and you win the World Series.
- 5c3cd06e-cef8-11e1-abe6-000bcdcb2996 - Oct 7, 2012 at 4:25 AM
Chipper told the press that he knew it was time to retire once he was no longer nervous before big games. Just sayin'.
- baseballswami - Oct 7, 2012 at 4:38 AM
The Nats have been very steady and I think that will serve them well. No long win streaks but no long losing streaks either. Even playing our worst in September we were winning every other day. This te seems to be very level. I hope they can sleep tonight. I am still up.
- Steady Eddie - Oct 7, 2012 at 4:52 AM
Numbers and letters guy — Are you "just sayin'" that what goes for Chipper goes for all good players? That good players aren't distinct Individuals in their reactions?
- A DC Wonk - Oct 7, 2012 at 4:55 AM
Frankly, I think it's also easier to be calm cool and collected, because — simply — they were just _in_ St.L. playing these same Cards.
- Steady Eddie - Oct 7, 2012 at 4:56 AM
And down 5-1 with a runner on first, Xavier Nady steps to the plate. Meanwhil, so far Chapman is looking a lot like Bad Henry.

Then Ks Posey swinging. Boy I'd be guzzling Maalox if this was the Nats. Tho Chapman never gave the feeling of losing it completely. Just every other pitch, seemingly.
- Cwj - Oct 7, 2012 at 8:39 AM
I can guarantee that I'm more nervous than the Nats are! :)Yeah, I agree with everyone who said playoff experience is overrated.If this is all a dream, last chance to wake up…wait, I think I'll hit the snooze and continue to dream a little longer.Playoff time for our local nine.Go Nats!
- ChicagoNatsGirl - Oct 7, 2012 at 10:35 AM
The advantage of being "ChicagoNatsGirl" is that Chicago is "only" about 5 hours from St. Louis. We're leaving momentarily for the game today. So excited for our Nats. Look for two 40-somethings and a cute 12-year old boy in left field clad in Nats gear. And lots of it. It will be cold.
- NatsLady - Oct 7, 2012 at 10:37 AM

Bryce sure does good interviews. He plays baseball okay, too. What Zimm said, I trust in Davey and our guys. Go, NATS!!Speaking of salad ingredients, avocados have been a sponsor in prior seasons, as I recall.Thanks for representing us in STL, Chicago Nats Girl!On another note, and speaking of Arroyo, loved his duet with Chapman on the Adam Sandler number. Hilarious!

There has been something in every playoff game so far:(1) Barfs barfing on Larry's last day + umps and the infield fly rule…(2) Texas as a wildcard? Who knew. The O's takin' care of business.(3) The hero of Verlander's game is an A's middle reliever.(4) Cueto out after 8 pitches and the Reds still win. I give you Joey—oops, I give you Brandon Phillips.Just hoping for some Gio dominance, clean fielding and the Kid being the Kid. Can't wait.

Just got back from a 20 mile bike ride in Corolla. We have our day scheduled so I will be back in the beach house by 3pm. I had to sacrifice tomorrow's game but one out of two isn't bad.Have to laugh a bit that some of you are actually nervous about this? Its a game, we are fans, we lose nothing if they fail and we win a little pride if they succeed. I guarantee you the players, no matter what they say are nervous. It's part of the makeup that makes them successful. When my teams got to the ACC's or NCAA's it was my job to keep those nerves from getting too hyped and Davey will do the same thing. He is one huge plus at this time of year and I can't wait!! I will be excited but not nervous. Go Nats!! Score First!! Win the NLDS!!
- NatsJack in Florida - Oct 7, 2012 at 12:47 PM
Relax everybody. The Nats had the best record in baseball. They are playing a team that finished 9 games behind the team with the second best record and both teans garnered their records by playing 36 ganes against 100+ loss teams.We got this.

Yea….Rizzo was right about Maya vs. Chapman…..Rizzo may well be the best GM and Davey the best Manager in baseball but…..they both still make big mistakes at times….Rizzo has not learned to admit them and learn from them yet……He would still tell you that not signing Chapman was the right thing to do and the Maya was a better bet.
- JayB - Oct 7, 2012 at 1:23 PM
Davey would say…..yea that sure was wrong…must have not taken my meds that day….Rizzo….not so much
- Joe Seamhead - Oct 7, 2012 at 1:23 PM
Jack, I agree. We got this.Great front page article in today's WaPo by Barry Svrluga regarding Davey Johnson's demeanor and overall influence on this team,and how he is always thinking way ahead, Good stuff.Tom Bozwell also has a good column, in a Boz sort of way.I like Davey's and Rizzo's roster choices, and their whole attitude about going with what got us here. I can't tell you how many times I've seen baseball managers, at every level from Babe Ruth League to the pros, get fancy and make radical changes when they get to the playoffs, only to have it blow up in their faces.Mrs. Seamhead is reading the sports pages and just told me that she is already getting tense. I just tell her to remember what Phil Wood's dad used to tell him: "The joy is going to the game. Winning is a bonus". This year has had not just a lot of joy, but a massive amount of bonus. The playoffs will be not just a new round, but a continuation of a great season. With a huge serving of bonus.Again, we got this. I'm with Boz. Take your meds. Nats in five.GYFNG!!!

No JayB…..Rizzo will tell you the silly money spent on Chapman was the right thing to do.He posted silly money to sign Chapman and under sealed bids, the Reds posted sillier money. Please be factual.And let he who makes no mistakes step forward.
- MicheleS - Oct 7, 2012 at 1:29 PM
JayB.. Remember that the Nats offered $20+ Million for Chapman. They wanted him and offered $$$ bucks for him. The Reds offered more. And let's not forget when Chapman signed, the Reds were a contender and the Nats were not. And we have no idea if Rizzo admits his mistakes. Do you really want the guy who is running the FO to come out and do a mea culpa? Really, how does that inspire the team? How does that get other Free Agents to come here?
- MicheleS - Oct 7, 2012 at 1:35 PM
Also love how the Cardinals are claiming underdog status as defending World Champs. Do love that the Nats are coming in under the radar with all the national reporters and the media. For some reason the Nats just are not a sexy team to them. I am sure we will see the shutdown crap again and probably more about Bryce. But when all is said and done this is a Team and a team that is built to win.
- Joe Seamhead - Oct 7, 2012 at 1:35 PM
Good to hear from you JayB. I was asking about you the other day. Welcome back. I'll give you the Maya/Chapman thing, but personally I am sure glad we didn't make a lot of other moves regarding CF, the bench, and Prince Fielder. The dynamics of this team revolve successfully around the no team MVP, or riding the back of one superstar.This is one of the most well balanced teams that I have ever seen.The only thing that would be better is if Strasburg was able to be pitching, too. But you know what they say about wishing.
- Joe Seamhead - Oct 7, 2012 at 1:40 PM
Rizzo paid a lot for Maya, too, folks. It hasn't worked out so well.As it tuned out, Chapman worked out great for another team. Turn the page. GYFNG!!!
- NatsJack in Florida - Oct 7, 2012 at 1:45 PM
MicheleS….the national media is waiting to see which way the Stras thing goes.If the Nats falter they'll be gloating like crazy. Nats win and the silence will probably remain.

I'm not calm, cool, or collected. I'm ready to play — from the couch.Regarding the roster: starters are no surprise; it's the regular crew that won all season, just without SS. I guess I'm surprised that there's the extra newby reliever, and not DeRosa. BTW I'm fine with the roster.Do all you insiders plan to be at the park on Wednesday? As we've all said many times — it's going to be historic.

You've also decided, I hope, if you haven't been taking the best care of yourself health and beauty-wise up to this point because, well, you didn't really need to, now is the time to take a time out. You deserve the pampering and the time it takes to look beautiful and as you can see from the women in the earlier posts, you're worth it. You'll be glad you did.
It does look as if all the women pictured here are on message however.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
If we choose to, we can post pictures of ourselves and ask others for suggestions on the ways to improve our own appearance. Yes, we apply our own makeup, wear our own style of clothes, and choose our own haircuts, but it's sometimes a good idea to get opinions from others because others may see what you don't see, or have an eye for things that you might not.
So, just post general pictures of yourself, either just your face (try not to make it blurry, or our advice might not be so helpful), and get opinions/suggestions on what you could do. You can even include a little appearance bio about yourself to provide more information for the advisers.
This is not to bash eachother, so I ask that you state things nicely.
And say things that plausible. Like, a suggestion on applying makeup a slightly different way. Or point out a different style of clothes that might be more flattering. Don't say something like, "Oh god.....your nose is huge. Get plastic surgery, you look like a freakin' anteater!"

Hello, my username is "mimi" and I am an alcoholic with 6 and a half months sobriety. It was the demise of my marriage that saw me hit my lowest point and got me into the halls. On my first night one man asked me for a date, and another offered me rides to and from meetings. I declined the date and accepted the offer of rides to meeting as I do not drive. The guy seemed trustworthy, and had 8 years of sobriety. It only took two weeks to devolve into a love affair. I was raw and vulnerable and I guess my ego took a sort of a boost from the attention (my ex husband had been having an affair and had left me for the other woman, so my self esteem was pretty much in the depths.) Predictably this AA affair ended badly and I have been clinging onto my sobriety for all it's worth. The man from AA apparently has a reputation for hitting on newcomers. He has already moved another female newcomer into his home. I am pretty gobsmacked by the whole thing. I am lucky in that I have an excellent sponsor and have received brilliant support from the women in AA. It's been a pretty hellish introduction to AA...but I am hanging in here.
Thanks for reading.

Bucs one win from hosting NL Wild Card Game
Reds' backs up against wall as Arroyo squares off vs. Morton
The math that has been part of the thrilling three-way battle in the National League Central all year suddenly becomes pretty simple heading into Saturday's second game of a season-ending series between the Pirates and Reds.
If the Pirates win, it's see you in Pittsburgh on Tuesday in the NL Wild Card Game. If the Reds win, it's see you Sunday to determine that playoff home site.
Already, the division crown was claimed outright by the Cardinals on Friday, so Saturday's Pirates-Reds finale really is about whether Pittsburgh will be the site for the Pirates' first playoff game since 1992, or if it'll be Cincinnati.
It will be Charlie Morton of the Pirates and Bronson Arroyo of the Reds on the mound in a battle of right-handers under the afternoon sky at Great American Ball Park.
"I know they're hungry, I know that city over there is hungry. And I know we're hungry and our city is hungry," Reds outfielder Ryan Ludwick said.
And Pirates star Andrew McCutchen said earlier this week, "I'm happy just to have the opportunity. It's awesome. I remember at the beginning of the season, no one gave us a chance, and now look where we are. I'm just happy we can be there."
As Morton heads into the crucial start, he's coming off seven shutout innings in a 2-1 win over the Cubs that clinched the Pirates' first postseason spot in two decades, allowing just three hits while striking out five in a no-decision.
The Reds have won both of Arroyo's starts against the Pirates this season. Most recently, he went five innings and allowed three runs on five hits and two walks in an 11-3 win last Sunday against the Pirates.
In his last 14 starts at Great American Ball Park, Arroyo has 13 quality starts, posting a 7-3 mark with a 2.97 ERA.
"There's nothing better than October baseball," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "It's what my guys train for in the winter. This is what we talk about all the time in Spring Training. The road looks very foggy and long when you starting out on this championship season, but now we're here."
Pirates: Alvarez first at third
With his blast to dead center in the fourth inning Friday night, Pedro Alvarez notched his 35th homer of the season, the most hit in a single season by a Pirates third baseman. The previous mark was 34 by Aramis Ramirez in 2001.
The two RBIs put Alvarez on the cusp on the century mark, at 99. That's the most RBIs for a Pirates hitter since Jason Bay went for 109 in 2006, and his 35 homers match Bay that year as well.
Reds: Votto reaches Rose
When Joey Votto singled in the ninth inning of Friday's game vs. the Pirates, it marked the 312th time he reached base this season, passing Pete Rose's club record set in 1969.
Votto is primed to lead the league in walks (132) for a third straight year and on-base percentage (.434) for a fourth. He'd be the ninth player to lead three straight years in walks, and the sixth to lead four straight years in OBP.
Worth noting
• The Pirates are now 44-31 vs. the NL Central, while the Reds are 40-35.
• Pittsburgh has allowed the second-fewest runs in the Majors, with 572. The last time a Pirates team allowed fewer than 600 was in '92, with 595.
• The NL Central has three 90-win teams for the first time since it started in 1994. The last time a division had three 90-win teams was in 2002 -- the NL West (D-backs, Giants, Dodgers).

A tree planted in memory of Beatles songwriter and musician George Harrison has been killed by actual beetles.
The living monument fell victim to an infestation of the insects that couldn't be thwarted, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Standing 10 feet tall, the pine tree was planted in the city's Griffith Park in 2004 and accompanied by a plaque.
A new one will be planted in its stead shortly, Councilman Tom LaBonge told the Times.
Harrison died at age 58 in 2001. The tree was planted because Harrison spent his final days in Los Angeles, and was an avid gardener in his adult life.
