100% happy with the scale of grayskull, and no, I think that the opening size for the jawbridge entrance is fine to me, as any larger it would have costed much more.

I wish the opening was taller. If they just cut away some of the base section underneath where the jaw bridge opens, the door could sit lower and the opening would be taller. The door itself would need to be reworked to be longer.
The levels inside seem a little too short as well. Roboto's head barely clears the third floor ceiling in the video.
I don't mind the size overall, but I feel like they either need a little more height or to lose the third floor.

I'm okay with it's size now but we like everything bigger here in Hell. So while I like it now it would be better bigger.

the size is fine with me. to really get an accurate sizef for the MOTUC figures...the thing would have to me MASSIVE. I'm fine with the castle, I just wish the front door was a wee bit bigger.
The size doesn't really bother me, though I hope for some more tooling on the inside of the playset so the interior walls aren't so smoothly bland looking. It's not a make or break, but it would be nice for some inside details. Heck, the original Snake Mountain was able to do it.
Also, I really want that dungeon floor grating. I'm really hoping that the rumor of it being cut is just that.

Looks real good to me.
Yes. If it was any larger, I would have no room to display it.
After letting it marinate for a day, yes, it's just too small. The sculpt is beautiful, I have no issue with the look of the castle, the detailing, anything like that. Just the size, it's much smaller than expected. I'm not saying it has to be double in size, but a couple of inches per floor, in height, width, and depth, would make all the difference in the world.
As it is, I can live with it, but it barely meets the scale of the figures and it takes a great deal of pleasure out of owning it.
Must Haves before MOTUC is complete! QUEEN ANGELLA! Mermista, Peekablue, Perfuma, Imp, Admiral Scurvy, General Sunder, Colonel Blast, Vultak, Clawdeen, Stridor, Nightstalker, Cat version of Catra METEORBS Gwildor, Saurod, Point Dread with Talon Fighter! Sagitar
I love the over sculpt of the castle, the 4H did an amazing job.
But looking at the prototype and the B-sheet that Mattel posted it looks the whole castle is about 2" smaller all around.
I don't like that the figures heads almost it the second floor when they are on the first floor. The base is unneeded and that height could have been added to the castle itself.
The fact of the matter is Mattel posted measurements at the time of presale, but now it's not that size. For $250 it needs to be just as it was in the B-sheet they used to sell it to us.
"Don't crowd me boys!"
The sculpt is indeed amazing but I am not happy with the size. I think it's too narrow in the front and needs to be a bit wider.
Psalm 18:32 - "It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect."
LOL at nobody thinking it's too big...
People who think it's too small apparently have no sense of scale based on pictures...
once they get to see it in person, opinions will change...
As far as I am concerned the size is right, the problem is the size of the entrance.

Round 2, vote for

perfect. as expected. from video i think its clearly far larger in person. i think many will be pleasantly supprised.
I think the size is great. I wish the doorway was a bit taller, but that could be fixed if we get lucky (not counting on it, and still not a deal-breaker).
I really want that Dungeon Piece to make it out later. Shoot, an annual Grayskull Additions Set would be keen as heck.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
I could be happier about the size of Grayskull, things just look too cramped with heads almost touching ceilings or the entrance.
Proud supporter of the Snake Men.
Most Wanted: Slave Girl, Crita, Lizorr, Tyrantisaurus Rex, Great Black Wizard, Darius, the rest of New Adventures.
Most Wanted Filmation: Lord Masque, Ileena, Granita, General Sunder, Teela, He-Man, Skeletor, Hordak head.
No Slave Girl? Watch us hurl!
A barbaric world without slave girls? That's truly barbaric!
Of course it could always be bigger... but that's unrealistic and I am happy they're giving us what they advertised.
It's an acceptable size, but I was hoping it would have been bigger.
No complaints about the front sculpt, the Four Horsemen impressed as always.
I think the same but the entrance is a really problem since he-man couldn't be just under the door... It is ridiculous

I'm thinking the actual size (dimensions) of CG looks ok to me but there are things that could do 'with a tune' since it's only early days. Hopefully Mattel will pick up on some positive suggestions.
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*MotU ~ Multi-Bot/Tung Lashor *PoP ~ Angella/Mermista *200X ~ Roboto/Calix *Filmation ~ Teela Na/Lord Masque
*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Roton/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Night Stalker/Stridor
The overall size is exactly what I expected, and it looks great! There's jut a few tweaks and subtractions that will make it feel bigger:
1) Lower the Jaw Bridge hinge. The bridge needs to lie flat on the ground when opened (unless Matty's going to give us a platform on the other side for it to rest on). Lowering the bridge would give us the headroom we all want in the entryway.
2) Get rid of the prison walls. They take up so much room on the lower floor. and the trap door doesn't even line up with it. Poorly planned, and the dungeon room loses it's key feature (the creatures in the depths)
3) The Wind Raider base - this is clearly being shoe-horned in by management to try and cross-sell the failed Wind Raider vehicle. It's an awful concept and poorly executed/realized. Admit it doesn't work, move on, and use that tooling spot for something fans actually want.
My 2016 Wishlist:
KITTRINA, Vultak, Dylamug, Zilora
CRITA, Staghorn, Quakke, Butthead, Hoove, Lizzor
RED BEAST, Tony Guerrero Prototype, Zodaq (4H 200x Concept)
STRIDOR, Attak-Trak, Roton, Night Stalker
We should start version 2 fan demanded CG. or threaten to not buy any more figures. or subs, for that matter take a stand. if this is the final product we're getting. im cancelling before it even arives.

John DiStaso's Granite Status: In DC, Bass meets with McConnell, other key Republicans, as he weighs US Senate run
Bass, a Republican former seven-term U.S. House member, told the Granite Status tonight he met with key GOP senators, including Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas, who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee and served with Bass in the U.S. House.
Bass said he discussed "my political options" with those and other GOP senators.
"I thought the discussions went well but I'm not in a position to talk about any decision I've made, because I haven't made one," he said.
Bass first told UnionLeader.com in early September that he was seriously considering running for the seat held by Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, the former governor who is actively building a reelection campaign and raising money.
Bass said he will continue talking with his family and "people around the state," and intends to make a decision "within a few weeks."
"I have other options," he said, citing his "new business venture," the wholesale lumber firm Woodbrowser, which he said was started about six weeks ago.
"This is one of a number of different options for me," he said, "and obviously this is a big decision.
"Obviously, everybody (in Washington) was very positive," he said, "but the issue is bigger than that for me.
"I've got to make a decision in the next few weeks," he said. "I have no particular timetable. I'm trying to make an informed decision that will be in the best interest of my party and my state and my county, as well as my own personal future.
"If I do it, it has to be a 150 percent commitment, so it's a big decision," Bass said.
Bass said he was trying to keep "a low profile" but was spotted in Washington by a reporter from the DC-based The Hill, who broke the news of the Bass visit on Twitter.
The latest Bass development visit drew criticism from the state Democratic Party.
"It would be news if a life-long Republican insider like Bass wasn't trying to find a route back inside the beltway," said NHDP spokesman Harrell Kirstein, contending that Bass, while in the House, voted to cut veterans benefits and Medicare.
Former state Sen. Jim Rubens and conservative activist Karen Testerman are so far the only major announced Republican candidates for the Senate seat.
Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown has not ruled out the possibility of establishing residence in the state and running. He continues this week to make appearances in the state and to draw criticism from the Shaheen campaign. (See items below).
For the second consecutive day, the Shaheen camp is trying to raise money off of the possibility that Brown may run for the U.S. Senate from New Hampshire.
Today's email mentions his visit on Saturday to Strafford County, where he is scheduled to campaign for Fred Leonard, who is running for mayor of Rochester, and Matt Spencer, who is running for reelection as mayor of Somersworth, and to appear at a fundraiser for the Strafford County GOP in Dover.
What the campaign didn't know was that Brown has still another appearance scheduled for Saturday: This one in Amherst.
Amherst GOP vice chair Bill Modis and Brown himself confirmed that Brown will appear at a morning event for the Amherst Republican Committee at Joey's Diner.
"Would not read too much into it," Brown emailed us. "I'm going all over the country helping good people or groups that ask."
The Shaheen campaign's latest Brown-focused email says, "With Brown back on the political trail, his allies are already eyeing our race. The Tea Party and Wall Street billionaires see defeating Jeanne as key to capturing the Senate. The Koch brothers gave Brown the legal maximum in 2012. We can't underestimate how much they'll donate this time."
Tuesday, Shaheen's camp issued a similar fundraising email based on the news that Brown has set up a New Hampshire version of his "The People's Seat" PAC in order to contribute to New Hampshire candidates. The treasurer of the New Hampshire PAC is Brown's sister, Lee Ann Riley, who lives in Portsmouth.
Brown responded to the Shaheen emails with an email of his own to the Granite Status, "I find her plea laughable. Do the people of New Hampshire really believe her misleading rhetoric?
"She can't raise money off her own accomplishments and record, so she tries to mislead and scare people by demonizing me. It is probably time she explains to the people of New Hampshire and the country why she was the deciding vote for Obamacare, which is 'a trainwreck,' why she has not voted to delay its implementation -- instead hurting middle class families with higher healthcare costs, and why she pushed the IRS to target conservative groups.
"I could go on," Brown wrote, "but it is not worth it. Go Sox!!"
(Earlier Granite Status reports follow.)
TUESDAY, OCT. 29: SHAHEEN: 'BROWN IS SERIOUS.' News that former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown has set up a New Hampshire version of his "The People's Seat" political action committee (see item below) has spurred Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's camp to yet another fund-raising plea.
"Scott Brown is serious," Democrat Shaheen writes of the Republican in a campaign email sent to supporters today.
She writes that with stops in Nashua Monday night and Strafford County this coming weekend, Brown is embarking on "yet another campaign tour of our state."
Brown, who has a vacation home in Rye and whose family members live in New Hampshire, has not ruled out the possibility of establishing residence in the state and seeking the Senate seat held by Shaheen.
Brown told us on Monday he set up the PAC in New Hampshire so he can "write checks" in support of New Hampshire candidates for office.
His federal PAC lists only $187,000 in cash on hand, but Shaheen writes that he "is sending us a $187,000 signal that he's ready to run against us. Will you be there to help me fight back?"
Shaheen's campaign listed $2.7 million in cash on hand at the end of the third quarter, Sept. 30.
Shaheen has used Brown in several fund-raising email this year.
Earlier this month, Brown responded by saying, ""It's misleading to donors. It's trying to find a bogeyman to raise money off of. But whatever. I get it.
"I will say that the more she pokes me in the eye, the more fired up I get," he said at the time.
(Earlier Granite Status reports follow.)
Brown says only he did it so he can "write checks" presumably to candidates for state offices.
The Concord Monitor first reported Sunday that a state version of the Brown PAC was filed on Oct. 11, again raising speculation about Brown possibly moving to his vacation home in Rye and running against Sen. Jeanne Shaheen for the U.S. Senate.
The PAC's filing states that its purpose is. "To back strong, dedicated candidates and continue efforts to bring reform to government."
Brown, in an email, wrote us, "As you know NH law requires the filing in order for me to write checks. That is the reason. Sb"
Brown does not need a New Hampshire PAC to fund his own campaign here, should he have one, but only to support candidates for state offices, such as governor.
Still, Brown's continued interest in New Hampshire is --- well -- interesting.
His federal PAC had $187,000 on hand as of Sept. 30, according to his filing with the Federal Election Commission.
Advocates say they're nearing that number and that one of the key undecided votes is New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, whose spokesman said she is reviewing the bill.
The Human Rights Campaign advocacy group says the bill extends federal employment protections against discrimination currently provided based on race, religion, gender, national origin, age and disability to sexual orientation and "gender identity."
The bill does not apply to businesses with fewer than 15 employees or to religious organizations, the HRC says.
Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, who signed that measure into law as governor, is now an ENDA co-sponsor.
New Hampshire's law protects against discrimination based only on sexual orientation. A bill prohibiting discrimination based on "gender identity or expression," dubbed the "bathroom bill" by opponents, was killed in 2009.
Longtime Republican activist Matt Mayberry and New Hampshire College Republicans President Jake Wagner, who are gay, two weeks ago went to Washington to talk to Ayotte as part of a "National Lobby Day" for the bill.
The groups' executive director Ashley Pratte, could not be reached for an interview Friday, but said in an email:
In a Washington Post story last week, the council's Peter Sprigg said, "Regardless of how much money (Singer and his allies) bring to the table, it is not to the advantage of Republican officeholders politically to support his agenda. Particularly in Republican primaries, the Republican Party is still strongly socially conservative. These are core convictions that people have."
John DiStaso is senior political reporter of the New Hampshire Union Leader and New Hampshire Sunday News.

I'll try to drop a guerrilla weather forecast in here a little closer to game time.
- natsfan1a - Aug 25, 2011 at 7:44 PM
Glad you clarified that everything's fine, Mark, 'cause my mind automatically went to expectant mom DEFCON1 level. You and Mrs. Z take care and we'll fend for ourselves in here.Hope that LannEn can get the team off the schneid with some help from the offense (remember them?). Let's just pick up where Jonny and Laynce left off, boys.

Bixler ought to crowd the plate and hope he gets hit by the pitch. Gotta get on base by any means necessary.

- SELFISH_FLANNY - Aug 25, 2011 at 8:20 PM
Not to hijack this discussion but I would like to ask those who lauded Mike Flanagan yesterday if they are lauding him today with the news he selfishly killed himself!? This is no longer a tragedy for beloved Flanny but a tragedy for those left behind. People who commit suicide take the easy way out and should not be memorialized or lauded as a great person, they are not!
- sec3 - Aug 25, 2011 at 8:27 PM
I don't think we have any idea what was in his mind, but I do know something about depression, and having a disease that warps one's whole perception of reality is hard on everybody concerned, especially loved ones, but it's not a moral failing.

- HHover - Aug 25, 2011 at 8:30 PM
SelfishAnd comments like yours help the people who are left behind … how? They seem selfish and self-indulgent in their own right.As for me, I'm sorry for Flanny, I'm sorry for the family and friends he left behind. I've sympathy for them all.

I stii think very highly of Mike Flanagan and have sympathy for him and his loved ones. I do not know the details of his despair but I am sad that he was troubled. He was A very good man by all accounts I have read to date.

- HHover - Aug 25, 2011 at 8:39 PM
To get back to the game…I don't know that Bixler needs to lean into a pitch – he did get a hit when he started in CF Monday night.Ankiel certainly did nothing Tu and Wed to deserve a spot in the line-up (0 for 7 with 2 Ks). Will Bernie get a Sept. call-up? I'd so much rather see him out there, and at the plate.
- Sam - Aug 25, 2011 at 8:47 PM
@HHover: I sincerely hope that Bernadina gets a call-up in September as well. Even if he plays left field, as long as Ankiel is moved down in the order, I don't mind.
- N. Cognito - Aug 25, 2011 at 8:49 PM
Reading this thread, I am completely stunned. I can't believe Bixler's batting second.
- natsfan1a - Aug 25, 2011 at 8:50 PM
Nobody can know what goes on in the mind of another person. I feel sad for his family, and for him if he did take his own life, because that's a dark place to be. If someone else feels differently about the matter, it's not for me to judge whether their reaction is right or wrong. Just as I don't know what goes on in the mind of another, I don't know what life experiences might have led them to their current point of view.

Weather guess, as promised: it looks like DC is about to get a little more rain, then all clear, more or less. The worst of it is all staying south of us, in Va. and NC. If you're south of Woodbridge, you're in for it…batten down.
- natsfan1a - Aug 25, 2011 at 8:55 PM
Or even north of Woodbridge, as it's coming down like a cow, um, never mind that particular simile – suffice to say that it's raining really hard right now. Good to know that it should clear up after that.
- DCGuy7 - Aug 25, 2011 at 8:57 PM

- Dawn - Aug 25, 2011 at 10:00 PM
Glad to hear Mrs. Z (and baby) are okay. We will have to muddle through on our own, all is good. For the Flanagan family, not so good. The loved ones (and he was loved by many) left behind are wracked with grief and guilt that they weren't "enough". Take solace all who grieve, he is at peace and (I believe) in a better place. Faint comfort, but what else can you say. So sad.

- natsfan1a - Aug 25, 2011 at 10:13 PM
I'm not sofa, but I'll try my hand at a bootleg weather report (with apologies to Carp). Actually, it's more like a pirated report, taken from the NBC4 site's weather section, which seems to have been updated within the hour:"Much of the area is under a severe thunderstorm watch until 9 p.m. and a flash flood watch until midnight."Also, in case any of you are in MD:"The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning until 6:30 p.m. for Calvert and St. Mary's counties in Maryland."

Anon 6:07 — I assume that Mr. Flanagan from his name is of the Catholic Faith. Now, it so happens that somewhere among my various degrees I have one that might be relevant–a Master's in Catholic Theology. The Catholic Faith teaches both the Bible and Catholic Tradition, and according to both Scripture and Tradition, suicide is a mortal sin. HOWEVER, the Catholic Faith also recognizes repentance, and that repentance can occur in the instant before death. Therefore, since none can know the soul of Mr. Flanagan–only God knows his soul–and we must pray that he asked forgiveness and received it from the Almighty and All-Forgiving God. For this reason the Catholic Faith allows suicides to be buried in sacred ground. Please let that be the end of this discussion.

7:39….. I have it like that, on my iPhone. Paid like, $20-$25, if I recollect right. I got in early, with iPhone, while ATT still offered an unlimited data plan… still grandfathered-in…;)
- NatsLady - Aug 25, 2011 at 11:51 PM
Yes, there is audio only and it's pretty cheap, like $9.95, so you can listen to the audio and watch gameday that simulates where the balls and strikes go. The only aggravating thing is they have ads between innings, so you can't look back and see what happened. I use gameday at work where I can't be listening constantly to the game and I like to check back and see what happened.Also they charge extra for the post-season. Still, it's a pretty good deal and you can listen to any team.
- NatsLady - Aug 25, 2011 at 11:53 PM
Yeah, I'm grandfathered in for ATT unlimited data plan (also on the family plan with my Sis, Mom, and Neph). So I'm stuck with them forever…We are having the no offense offense tonight again.

- Mick - Aug 26, 2011 at 12:58 AM
For this to change, we need more threats in the lineup. In 2012 I see the only guarantees in the lineup each night as follows: Morse, Ryan Z, Ramos (catcher), and Espinoza. I assume LaRouche will get a shot. Outside of that, all positions should be open via minor leagues and free agency. Werth, Nix, Desmond and Ankiel are what they are. If Harper, Rendon, Lombardizo and maybe 2 free agents, a Coco Crisp can join this team then it will change everything offensively for the Nats. So, we will not have to feel the game is over down only 2-0.

I only watch the Nationals. But I wonder sometimes if the Nats are "unwatchable" more often than good teams. During the AZ series, the Nats have been hideous…inning after inning after inning of NOTHING.Are the Yankees unwatchable as often as the Nats? Are the Phillies unwatchable as often as we are? How about the Braves? I mean, good teams lose, but are they unwatchable as often as Washington?This thing tonight is painful to watch, and it happens all the time.

Well if think that they are not effected by the last weekend plus all the tension in around town then I say you would be wrong. They feel again lifeless and again can not shake the culture of losing just yet. Until this team can put together long winning runs will they have truly passed the culture of losing. Now some say this is negative I am just putting a condition that has plagued forth and measuring the progress. Can you really say when the team plays like this last three days they are past the culture of losing

Timothy Reid McClelland (born December 12, 1951 in Jackson, Michigan) is an umpire in Major League Baseball who has worked in the American League from 1983 to 1999 and throughout both leagues since 2000. He has called many important games, from post-season games to the George Brett "Pine Tar" game in 1983. More recently, he was the plate umpire for the Sammy Sosa corked bat game on June 3, 2003 when the Chicago Cubs hosted the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at Wrigley Field. He is currently the tallest major league umpire at 6-foot-6. He was known in the past for working in a kneeling position behind the plate (he has switched, since at least 2006, to a "box position", a form of squat) and for his deliberate strike calls. He is noted for having a small strike zone, but is praised even by pitchers for its consistency. Major League pitcher Zack Greinke said of McClelland's alleged tight strike zone, "For some reason, he's the one umpire that scares me. I have nightmares about him." Wikipedia

It's like they have ex-tend-ed periods when they just do….nothing. No scoring. No momentum. No-thing.Then they have a big game or two and it goes back to…sludge.They have the unusual ability to slow the passage of time. Watching them tonight, in between doing work stuff and checking Nats Insider, is totally slow motion. It is awful.I've been to more than 35 games this year at Nats Park. But games like the last couple, I have to admit how happy I am to be home, when at least I can turn it off.

The ump missed one strike call on Tuesday when Jordan Zimmermann should have struck out Young and they missed the strikeout of Montero.Both misses totally changed the game. When you play these =close= games, these mis-calls are like a costly fielding error.Sickening, and then have to be subjected to Henry Rodriguez. Oh Henry…..
- ehay2k - Aug 26, 2011 at 2:25 AM
If we had better pitching management and continued focus on defense we could be at least over .500 now. Davey is no genius, in my book. Took over a team on a tear, playing great defense because they can't hit (see prior posts on failed efforts of hitting coach), and tried to inspire offensive talent which just is not there. Meanwhile, they start booting balls, making stupid mistakes on the bases, losing games by giving or taking extra outs. At least Riggleman knew what he had. Davey thinks he is so smart he can just make them better hitters. Epic fail.I loved the tight games, with great defense, and good pitching management that we played prior to the All Star break. And that was without Zimmerman. I hate watching the ugly baseball the devolving Nats have been playing. Sigh, so sad.

@10:25 – Remember Friday night? A walk-off grand slam by Zimm to silence 45,000+ Phils fans? And Sunday's 10th inning win with Gomes hit by pitch with the bases loaded after three amazing at-bats by Werth, Morse and Zimm? And Monday's 4-1 win showcasing brilliant pitching by Detwiler? You have seen 62 wins by the Nats, only 14 blow-out losses, 45 one run games of which they have won 21,and let's face it – losses like tonight are hard, tough to take, but give them their underdog credentials that make the wins so exhilarating. I'll be watching the next game. Go Nats!
- ehay2k - Aug 26, 2011 at 2:44 AM
Wonk, if the game were 2 – 1 in the bottom of the ninth, that is a lot better than 8 – 1. As for last night, Desi gets caught trying to steal 2nd, and the next 2 batters hit. Cost us a PRECIOUS run early. 2 runs due to other errors, and instead of winning 2 -3, we lose 4 – 2. This is all game changing stuff, and it hangs on the manager at the end of the day. Riggleman seemed to have a handle on this, Davey does not. And f course, the hopefully soon-to-be-erstwhile hitting coach.

flynnie said…[referring to last night's game] DC Wonk – Fine analysis of the game, to which I might add that Morse was playing sick last night, and a step slow as a result.Thanks, flynnie! I had fun writing it — because in all my years, I don't think I've ever seen a baseball game look so different in person than it did on paper. Livo was so _on_ last night — I mean, he was jaw-droppingly good — and yet the boxscore showed he gave up 4 runs on 7 hits. And then all the defensive miscue that were not called errors, etc.(As for Morse's play — I wasn't complaining — after all, he's been one of the best players on the team this year, and 1st base wasn't his position).As for tonight — looking that glass half full — aren't we glad that Clippard failed in a game where we were already losing? (I mean: imagine the pain if we were up 3-2 and he came in with men on and he let the runners score!). The point being — we now that Clip and Store are going to have some bad games — it's good when they have those bad games when we're already losing so they don't (necessarily) cost us a win. (And that HRod really really blew up when we were already behind, etc.)But, sheesh, that hitting is going to kill us! (But it'll give the pitchers good practice )

Cost us a PRECIOUS run early.Yep. Funny thing, though. A couple of folks right here, just a few days ago, were complaining that since Davey came on board we were stealing less. 2 runs due to other errors, and instead of winning 2 -3, we lose 4 – 2. I know . . . but I'm not going to blame pitching management for that.Further, as I noted: one miscue was because Morse is forced to play first because LaRoche is out. I'm not going to blame anyone for that — I'm not even going to say that Morse should have made that play. But I do think LaRoche would have made it.Another miscue was the RF throwing to the wrong base — but, hey, if Werth hadn't been injured, he would have been in there and probably would have played it correctly.Stuff like that happens over a long season. And it gets magnified more when the team does a poor job of hitting . . . like the 2011 Nats.The problem isn't pitching management — it's hitting.
- NatsLady - Aug 26, 2011 at 2:52 AM
Couldn't watch because the idiots at my gym don't know how to change the channel on the TV. No kidding.But, listening, I think the Nats gave up when it was 2-1, when they could not get to even a tie game in the bottom of the 7th. Not after Lannan gave up the homer, nor after Clip gave up his, but right in that pivotal inning when they couldn't scrape together two runs. You can't hang this one on Davey or Lannan or the bullpen. (I do wonder why Clip was throwing so many change-ups.)
- NatsLady - Aug 26, 2011 at 2:59 AM
1A, agree. Go, Giants! They are losing 2-0 to Houston, at the moment.And look at it this way, at least the Nats are not the Oakland A's. Yanks 22-9 with 3 grand slams! According to Charlie and Dave, they examined the MLB records and in 136 years and almost 200,000 games that has never happened before.
- A DC Wonk - Aug 26, 2011 at 3:18 AM
Yowza — can you imagine scoring 9 runs and not only losing, but getting creamed?!And giving up three slams in a single game?In the immortal words of old Yankee announcer Phil Rizzuto: Holy Cow!!
- Oldguy - Aug 26, 2011 at 3:24 AM
We were at the game. There was some grousing above about Bixler, but he was one of the few bright spots. Two hits and one grounder to third that he damn near beat out. He has as much hustle as anyone on the team. more than most–and not many ABs. I would really like to see him playing regularly for a couple of weeks.
- DCGuy7 - Aug 26, 2011 at 3:44 AM
Not a good game, obviously – even more so from the stands. Clippard's implosion was shocking, but the ump's poor calls were certainly noticeable, and the place was booing them loudly. HRod's implosion was, well, icing. Bixler was indeed hustling as usual, that kid's got heart. the rest of our boys looked like they had little tonight. Cora as a PH in the 8th with a RISP baffled me, with Nix on the bench. RZim blew a golden opportunity, though many of them did – i just "expect it" less from Ryan. An ugly collapse, in a very winnable game, kinda depressing to see in person.
- Anonymous - Aug 26, 2011 at 10:36 AM
YUCK!!! Gotta get some bats on this team. It is just plain awful. This series was very boring to watch.
- dale - Aug 26, 2011 at 11:07 AM
I feel bad for the starting pitchers with this club. Regression in the field, and 1 for 29 RISP for the hitters. A real buzzkill after Philadelphia. It's a good time for them to take their show on the road.
- natsfan1a - Aug 26, 2011 at 11:53 AM
I didn't find the series boring. Frustrating, yes. Boring, no. But that's just me.Eh, maybe they'll be able to get their bats going at the Great American Small Park. (Hey, it could happen.)In other news, just saw an item about Air Screech. What the? Noticed him/her in the stands during the game broadcast and had to back up the video to be sure thst my eyes hadn't deceived me. Nope, that *is* what I just saw. I thought maybe it was a fan in a Screech costume (although I'm not sure where one would obtain a Screech costume, or why). So, for those who were there, is this the end of Screech Two, or was he there as well? I mean, are we on the third mascot already? (Of course, they'd still have a ways to go to catch up with the tv color man replacement pace [rimshot]. And, oh, btw, save Bob Carpenter.)
- natsfan1a - Aug 26, 2011 at 11:56 AM
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's, like, an inflatable doll Screech [your off-color joke here]?? If so, you'd best be heads up when bat shards are flying on the field, dude(ette).(And, man, would Mark have had a field day with that one, or what?)
- CBinDC - Aug 26, 2011 at 12:08 PM
Does anybody find it odd to think it is good the team is now on the road ……they looked and sounded so flat last night …… depressed really ….that was the saddest game played here I can remember
- NatsLady - Aug 26, 2011 at 12:15 PM
@CBinDC: yes, strange as it seems, it's a good time for a road trip, and not just to get out of Irene's way. Everyone is in waiting mode–waiting for Strasburg, waiting for the Sept. callups, waiting for next year.
- dale - Aug 26, 2011 at 12:45 PM
Natslady,I think you have nailed it. They do seem to be waiting, abiding like a collective "dude". That may be one of the drawbacks of managing for 2012 when your team is in the present.
- N. Cognito - Aug 26, 2011 at 1:04 PM
I would really like to see [Bixler] playing regularly for a couple of weeks.Why?To remove all remnants of doubt?A drive for a better draft pick?Are you related to him?He's a great baseball player. Anybody that can make it as far as he has, is. He's just not a good major league player. In fact, he's a bad one.
- N. Cognito - Aug 26, 2011 at 1:05 PM
Addendum.Of course, the way everyone else is hitting, it won't matter much if Bixler does start.
- NatsJack in Florida - Aug 26, 2011 at 1:06 PM
By far and away the worst overall performance by this team this season.You could see the resignation in every at bat with runners in scoring position…. like "oh crap…. I get to make the the 3rd out this inning."
- jd - Aug 26, 2011 at 1:25 PM
Just a late August series for a team out of the race. They need to refocus and finish strong. On the bright side Desmond is actually looking like he has a clue at the plate for a few weeks now; it's not just the results but the better approach, more patience, better contact. In other words he is not getting himself out as much.
- m20832 - Aug 26, 2011 at 1:48 PM
Is this the beginning of the late August downward death spiral that we have come to know and hate? I believed Desmond had the same range as the filthies Rollins. Every hit up the middle was a Rollins put out seemed like. Most hits up the middle are singles and Desi can't get to them. Strange….It is frustrating to watch this team just blow up after the Great filthy series they had.September is just five days away. Want to see some of the new kids on the block. Especially the hitters!
- CBinDC - Aug 26, 2011 at 1:55 PM
I know that a jinx is just a function of timing but it does seem that everytime the praise for improved or great play starts the player and the whole teams goes boom.Take every person this year and the min the greatness is part of the discussion suddenly they go slump ….now Morse seems to have mostly avoided this fate but look at the start of April after the great ST. Werth gets the ohhh here he is now what they paid for then BOOM . Espinosa gets the ROY talk and bang. Maybe they just feel to much a need to do way over what other teams would do just get a little positive attention in the usual manner. They can not buy a mention on the morning show of their own flagship station and the afternoon show sayings their name as if a slur…this is not now the same at the other station as it was and Mark is getting better respect BTW…….just a thought on the over all effect that surrounds the team ….BTW what exactly is AIR SCREECH I could not tell from the pictures it just adds to last nights surreal feel

"On the bright side Desmond is actually looking like he has a clue at the plate for a few weeks now; it's not just the results but the better approach, more patience, better contact. In other words he is not getting himself out as much."Let's hope it's a real change in his approach. He's done this before, then with success in his head, he reverts to being over-aggressive and trying to pull everything.He's got the raw talent. It's his head that makes me suspicious of his future.

Stimulus will help stalled economy
Tuesday - 9/21/2010, 11:50am EDT
Liberal. Estate tax. Climate change.
These are words that have fallen into disfavor because of relentless attacks in the political arena. It's hard, for example, to find a Democrat in the South anymore who calls himself or herself a liberal. Progressive is the preferred term.
It's also difficult to discuss the estate tax without a critic sneering that it's a death tax.
The word tax itself has long been a political pariah, so much so that some legislators today act like there's no need for taxes. Water and sewer systems and schools simply appear on their own.
And now, in this election, it's impolitic to talk about a stimulus as in Keynesian economics to jump-start the economy.
President Obama's $787 billion stimulus rated favorably with Americans in 2009, 56 percent to 42 percent disapproving. A year later, the numbers were almost reversed, 54 against, 44 in favor. Today, the disapproval percentage is certain to be larger.
One reason for the opposition, like any number of issues, is that the stimulus is associated with President Obama. He has become the lightning rod for mad, angry Tea Party and Republican voters, a majority of whom believe he is a Muslim and over 40 percent believe he wasn't born in America. Untruths both.
A second reason that the word stimulus is out of favor is because the 2009 stimulus didn't put enough people back to work. Unemployment in North Carolina remains high, 9.8 percent, and the national rate is 9.6 percent. Critics claim it didn't work. Also untrue.
The stimulus did work, and the economy has been growing but slower. Targeted stimulus legislation for automobiles and new homes also worked. Go back and look at sales figures earlier this year or just ask any car dealer or real estate broker.
There are valid arguments abput how the stimulus was applied. I believe more money should have been spent directly on jobs to repair roads, fix bridges, improve mass transit and promote renewable energy. That's not how it was administered, but it did work.
The political mood today has swung sharply against direct, deficit federal spending and toward indirect, deficit spending such as a tax cut. The results are not the same. Both produce higher deficits. Look at Presidents Ronald Reagan's and George Bush's record-setting deficits when they didn't pay the bills.
But studies have shown that tax cuts, especially those that go to the wealthiest taxpayers will not generate immediate spending. And the richest taxpayers who get the biggest cuts, those in the top 1 percent, tend to hold onto their money.
This election is about jobs and the economy, not birth certificates, mosques and the 14th Amendment. That means it's about which party is more likely to get the economy moving again.
Mr. Obama is two years into his administration, and he and the Democratic Congress used the 2009 stimulus to pull the nation out of the ditch and Wall Street's crooked carnival.
The Republicans to date show no inclination to help Mr. Obama do anything. Such a do-nothing policy is no way to stimulate the economy.

Brewers shuffle rotation, turn to Gorzelanny
Peralta's start pushed back; Mets send surging Hefner to hill in finale
The Brewers decided to shake up their rotation going into Sunday's series finale against the Mets in Milwaukee.
While Wily Peralta was expected to get the start, the Brewers will hand the ball to left-hander Tom Gorzelanny instead.
Peralta left his last start in the sixth inning with a strained left hamstring and will now start in Tuesday's game against the Reds. For Gorzelanny, it will mark his second start of the season. In his only other start on June 8 against the Phillies, Gorzelanny tossed four innings and allowed one run on five hits for the no-decision.
"We just didn't want him to go back out Sunday, and all of a sudden in the second or third inning, he feels something again," manager Ron Roenicke said of Peralta. "If we can back him back a couple days -- which we can -- it makes sense for us to do that."
Meanwhile, right-hander Jeremy Hefner gets the call for the Mets. He's been on a roll as of late, winning two of his last three games after getting only one victory in his first 11 starts this season.
Delivering a strong outing on Tuesday against the D-backs, the right-hander allowed just one run on four hits in seven innings for the win.
Hefner has been bitten by little run support all season, going just 3-6 on the year. However, he has a 2.93 ERA in his last 13 starts.
"I'm just making pitches," Hefner said of his recent surge. "Really, that's all that's changed."
Mets: Wright, Harvey picked for All-Star team
• Mets third baseman David Wright and right-hander Matt Harvey each made the National League All-Star team on Saturday. Wright will start at third, while Harvey is a candidate to be the starting pitcher.
"They've had tremendous first halves," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "We're very, very happy and very lucky we have those two guys on our team."
For Wright, it marks his seventh All-Star selection and his fifth start. For Harvey, who did not make his big league debut until last August, this will mark his All-Star debut.
Brewers: Segura, Gomez named NL All-Star reserves
• Brewers shortstop Jean Segura and center fielder Carlos Gomez each made the National League All-Star team on Saturday as reserves.
Segura is only the fourth shortstop in Brewers history to make the Midsummer Classic and Gomez is the Brewers' first true center fielder since Davey May in 1973.
"He's been incredible. He's been one of the best players in baseball in all facets of the game," teammate Ryan Braun said of Segura. "He's been really good defensively at short, he's an incredible baserunner, and he's just incredibly consistent and productive offensively."
• Roenicke announced on Saturday that Johnny Hellweg will get the nod in Wednesday's game against the Reds and Donovan Hand will likely take the hill on Friday in Arizona.
Worth noting
• The Mets are 19-21 on the road this year, including 9-5 in their last 14 road contests.
• The Brewers are 24-12 when they score first this season.

She calls her bit tits Cheech And Chong because they're 'smokin'! She gags down deep on the cock as soon as it's offered to her and comes up for air only when absolutely necessary. Otherwise it's her watery eyes staring up at you and her tonsils working overtime until you are ready to splatter her face with a messy wad of your best jizz! Even as the cum drips down her chest she tilts her head back to stop the sperm landslide and keep as much stick goo on her face as she can. That makes her a 1000 Facials instant classic!

Seeing as how I'm missing the Billabong Pro Tahiti for the first time in ages, it's really tough to see Brian Beilmann's images land in my inbox every night. And while it's not "Code Red" conditions, Teahupo'o at four foot is my favorite wave in the world and a visual treat for the eyes as it allows for underwater photography that highlights the amazingly clear water and big turns that you simply don't see when it's big and gnarly. With no big swells in sight, who's your pick to win this years Billabong Pro Tahiti?—Justin Coté

ASP Press Release: Adriano de Souza Leads the Field on Day 1 Billabong Pro Tahiti
TEAHUPO'O, Taiarapu/Tahiti (Thursday, August 16, 2012) – Round 1 and the opening two heats of Round 2 of the Billabong Pro Tahiti, Event No. 5 of 10 on the 2012 ASP World Championship Tour season, were completed today in shifting three-to-five foot (1 – 1.5 metre) waves at Teahupo'o and while the conditions didn't exactly mirror last year's "historic" offering, the infamous lefthander and the performances of the world's best surfers delivered nonetheless.
"I'm so happy right now," De Souza said. "Last year was really big and today is only four feet, but still very fun. I just had fun and caught the good barrels and the judges liked it. I'm very happy right now." De Souza is currently logging another impressive year on tour, sitting No. 4 on the ASP WCT ratings and recently claiming a win in pumping surf at the ASP Prime event at Jeffreys Bay last month. "I'm having a good year," De Souza said. "Every year, I focus on what I need to improve on and go out and work on it. I feel more confident at every spot, I feel strong and have good boards right now."
John John Florence (HAW), 19, current No. 5 on the ASP WCT ratings, has been on a tear of his own lately and opened today's proceedings with a solid showing in Heat 1. While the conditions sorted themselves out in the shifting morning winds, Florence (in his first competitive showing at Teahupo'o) secured solid scores for barrels and maneuvers to advance through to Round 3.
"It's actually cleaned up a lot from this morning," Florence said. "This morning was really bad. The sun's come out now though and there are a few, little barrels. It's still really fun. We're here in Tahiti and I'm loving it. I was trying to find a cleaner, open waves and do whatever I could with them," Florence said. "I had one where I did a bunch of turns and ended up on the reef and had another where I got a little barrel. It's actually scary at this size and in these conditions on your backhand because the barrels really chandelier and you can end up on the reef really quick. Pumped to get through though."
Kelly Slater (USA), 40, reigning 11-time ASP World Champion and defending Billabong Pro Tahiti winner, may have waited until the 11th hour to arrive in Tahiti, but the American was completely at ease in his Round 1 heat, finding a number of solid barrels and advancing directly to Round 3. "I actually caught the last plane I could have caught to make my heat and I barely made it this morning," Slater said. "It's not often that the waves in California are better than Tahiti, but there hasn't been a whole lot of surf here and we've had pretty good waves at home. It doesn't look like there's a lot forecasted for this year which is a shame, but there's still fun surf to be had. It's Teahupo'o and you can sometimes take for granted how beautiful the waves are here."
With nearly two decades of experience at Teahupo'o and three event titles, Slater remains one of the heavy favorites to take out the 2012 Billabong Pro Tahiti in any conditions. "I've been coming here since '93 so it's about 20 years and I still love it," Slater said. "It's still so raw. There's no real big business here. It's all families and we stay with them and it's still a very special place."
Taylor Knox (USA), 41, current ASP WCT No. 34, served the upset of this morning's opening round, dispatching current ASP WCT frontrunner Mick Fanning (AUS), 31, into the elimination Round 2 This morning's victory marks Knox's first of the 2012 ASP WCT season, a situation he hopes to remedy in the coming events. "It has been a tough year," Knox said. "I don't know what you do about it. You just go out and try your best. I've been working really hard on my equipment the last few months and it definitely feels different than it did in the beginning of the season. The level of talent on this tour is incredible, but it's always fun being here and being a part of it. I feel like I'm in a better place mentally and my approach is going to be much better from here out."
While Knox advanced directly into Round 3, Fanning would find redemption in his afternoon elimination Round 2 bout with lethal local Alain Riou (PYF). Wasting no time, Fanning locked in two 8-plus-point rides in the opening minutes to post a 17.60 out of a possible 20 heat total. Despite a late push from Riou, which included an incredible 9.80 on his forehand, Fanning would ultimately hold on for the win and keep his 2012 ASP World Title campaign going in Tahiti. "While I may be ahead on the ratings' sheet, I think we're all pretty close at the top," Fanning said. "In past, I've made pretty strong runs in the back half of the season and I'm currently in the lead at the midway point. It's so early though that you do yourself a favor by not thinking about it. We're all really close at the top end of the ratings and there's a lot of opportunity to rise and fall before the year's out."
The afternoon was not without upset, however, as two-time Trials winner Ricardo dos Santos (BRA) eliminated current ASP WCT No. 8 Jordy Smith (ZAF), 24, from Billabong Pro Tahiti competition in the final heat of the day. Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 7am to assess conditions for a possible 7:30am start.
Surfline, official forecasters for the Billabong Pro Tahiti are calling for longer period SW swell to ease tomorrow with mostly 5' faces (head high) and occasional sets running up to 6'+ and even a touch bigger in the morning. Local south windswell easing and local wind direction improving so surf gradually cleaning up. When competition resumes, up first will be Julian Wilson (AUS), 23, and Willian Cardoso (BRA), 26, in the Heat 3 of Round 2. For more information, log onto www.ASPWorldTour.com
