The point of this post is just in case there may be a few mistakes. If you happen to notice anything you think is wrong, post an answer here and I will look into it. Update 16/12/12: I updated the etymology page with the suggestions here. The answers have been hidden to avoid them getting in the way of any new ones. Thanks to everyone who's contributed so far! pokemondb names asked Jan 23, 2012 by Pokemaster edited Dec 16, 2012 by Pokemaster I agree with DarkDestiny, I think that "tales" is a clever pun, not just a deliberate mis-spell of "tails". I would perhaps change it to something like "corruption of 'tails', may also refer to stories and legends about this Pokémon". I actually don't think it's based on a cat-o-nine-tails, it's pretty gruesome. Much more likely that it's the legendary asian nine-tailed fox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-tailed_fox :) You said "Emolga" was from "momonga," the japanese scientific name for the dwarf flying squirrel, but you forgot that the e and l in the name had to come from somewhere. I think Emolga's name also came from electric, which explains "E"molga. LOL Hydreigon has "Hydrangea", a type of flower. The things around his heads totally look like flowers.

Typhlosion You have it as a combination of Typhoon and Explosion. Since a Typhoon is a watery thing, wouldn't it make more sense for that part of its name to come from one of the following Greek words: Typhus which means 'hazy' - kind of like the shimmer you can see around something that is extremely hot - just read its pokemon Ruby dex entry for why I think this is the most likely one TYPHLOSION obscures itself behind a shimmering heat haze that it creates using its intensely hot flames. This POKéMON creates blazing explosive blasts that burn everything to cinders. Tefra means ash, or volcanic meterial. Typhlosion is the Volcano pokemon after all. Thumos means smoke. That is pretty self explanatory. Ok, the ancient Greek lesson is over. Its just always annoyed me that Typhlosion apparently got its name from Typhoon so I did some digging. Personally, I think the top one is the most likely, but you might completely disagree with all of this anyway, but I just thought I'd mention it. Sylveon It seems to me that sylph is a likely root word for its name. A sylph is an air elemental, or a fairy, and Sylveon was the first Fairy type revealed (even if we didn't know it at the time). Inkay Well, the Ink part is fairy obvious, but I have 2 suggestions for the -ay ending. Spray - as in to spray ink Okay or M'kay - for this one you kind of need to go to its Japanese name. Bulbapedia suggests its japanese name involves a pun that translates to something like "oh well" or "well, whatever" (Bulbapedia page here) Its name does sound very similar to "M'kay", though. This is purely speculation of course, but it is an idea. Pikachu Pikapika is actually japanese onamatapeia (or however you spell it) for 'sparkle', much like chuchu is japanese onamatapeia for 'squeak'. I think this is more likely than coming from the Pika, because Pikachu doesn't look anything like a pika. Oddish I will start this one by saying I agree with both Odd and Radish as root (no pun intended) words. However, I also feel that there is a pun in Oddish's name as well. The -ish suffix is often used to mean "somewhat" or "sort of" so 'Oddish' = 'Sort of Odd' which makes sense considering it's basically a flower pot with legs. Articuno I think this one is just a spelling mistake. It says it comes from artic. Shouldn't it say arctic instead? Crobat It says its name comes from "cross", meaning angry. This is certainly possible, given that its eyes have an angry look to them. However, cross could also refer to the shape it is. With its 4 wings it makes an 'X' or cross shape. Solosis You do say -osis is a common biological suffix. However, it come from either meiosis or mitosis, which are different kinds of cell division, so you could probably specify that. Pidgeotto I read the above suggestion on Pidgeotto/Pidgeot and like the idea, but here is another possible name origin for them. -otto could come from Otto Lilienthal. He was the first person to "make well-documented, repeated, successful, gliding flights" (that's from Wikipedia). Pidgeot Maybe it comes from jet, which would refer to its very fast speed (Mach 2, according to its pokedex entries). The Nido's I mean all of them - Nidoking, Nidorina, etc. The thing about pokemon names is that they are often quite clever, so while Nido may well refer to the pair (as you have on their pages) another possibility is it comes from Cnidocyte (pronounced nee-doh-site). Cnidocytes are a kind of cell found in many poisonous animals, like Jellyfish, Sea Anemones, etc. They are the stinging cells that are covered in many poison-covered spikes that jab into their target. It seems likely to me that this is another possible origin for Nidoking's (etc.) names. OK, that's all I can think of for now. answered Sep 9, 2013 by MeloettaMelody edited Sep 10, 2013 by MeloettaMelody Just saying.... For your pikachu error, the fact that a pika looks nothing like pikachu doesn't really mean anything. A pika is still a small rodent, like pikachu(tiny mouse pokemon). Lucaio doesn't really resemble a hunk of magic metal, bellosom doesn't look muck like a bell, and (in my opinion) beldum doesn't make such a good dumbell. So..... Yeah. I don't think there's anything wrong with PIKAchu. (Though pikapika could be a 3rd part to it as well) On Typhlosion, it's drawn directly from his Japanese, Bakuphun, which definitely is drawn from Explode+Typhoon given the two Japanese roots. With his English name, it's more debatable, but I always considered Typhoon (which, while it is known for rain, is still a destructive wind storm that triggers rain, but is not itself rain) to be the closer one just from his original root. The "pikapika" for Pikachu is actually correct. First of all, "pika" is pronounced differently (with a long i instead of short). Second of all, pikas are not called pikas in Japanese (might I add that Pikachu is his original Japanese name). Most importantly, Tajiri himself actually said that that's where the name came from (the Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkling). Please log in or register to add a comment. 6 votes The name origin of Trevenant probably also connects it to the Mythical Treant. And I mean this one: They have a strong resemblance in both figure and name so there'sa possibility Trevenant's name is connected to it. Hope I helped! answered May 16, 2014 by Qwerty_Zoom Could also come from ent, a living tree. Ent's closely resemble trees, but are living beings and Trevenant is more like the ghost of a tree. Then again, I don't name them, you could very well be right. Please log in or register to add a comment. 4 votes The name Chestnaught could be a pun of both chestnut and naughty, not only chestnut. Don't you think so ? Look close to that monster: It seems naughty. And it happens that a Naughty nature for this bad guy is one of his best, if Lax is not the ultimately best. The name Druddigon could be based on Dragon and Ruddy, and maybe on Dread ? Dread means terror, and Druddigon's look is terrible. Archeops's Etymology is Archaeopteryx and Cheops, but I'm sure that Cheops is written Kheops. Krokorok's Etymology is Crocodile and Rock, Rock could mean cool and swag, because Krokorok looks cool, wears Black sunglasses etc. Munna and Musharna are also based on Moon, in addition to Muso and Lunar. I insist on Moon and Lunar, explaining why Munna evolves with a Moon Stone. Drapion has strictly nothing to do with Dragons. Its name may come from Scorpion and Dark. It cannot learn any Dragon move. Kyogre can be a mix between Kai, Orca and Ogre. seeing Kyogre's imposant dimensions and power. Hope this help ! answered Oct 13, 2013 by ItsGuillotine edited Oct 13, 2013 by ItsGuillotine Also, I'm not sue about Flabébé's source for Flabra. Bébé is OK, but I checked Translate for Flabra in French, it is still Flabra in English, and I tried to check from the Galilean but it is still stuck on Flabra, which mean Flabra cannot be translated. It may be wrong, I ain't sure. I think the naught in chestnaught comes from the word dreadnaught (or dreadnought) which is "a heavily armed battleship whose main guns are all of the same caliber".

Xerneas: [Zurr-NICE] Yveltal: [EVIL-Tawl] Here you go! I hope you're happy, and every other gamer should be happy and proud too! answered Dec 21, 2013 by XerUoues edited Dec 22, 2013 by Poke'slash You're right about Yveltal, but Xerneas is pronounced Zurr-nee-us.

Please log in or register to add a comment. 3 votes In Charmander's etymology you mentioned that Salamander is a lizard like amphibian. However, Salamander is also "a mythical being, especially a lizard or other reptile, thought to be able to live in fire." My source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/salamander?s=t answered Sep 30, 2013 by Psyren Good idea. Fire Salamanders are also real creatures that live throughout Europe as well. Here is the wikipedia page for the mythical version, however, which has more info than your source has: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salamander_(legendary_creature) Please log in or register to add a comment. 3 votes Lombre's name origin says it comes from Lotus and Sombrero. I was thinking it could also come from the Spanish word for "man" which is Hombre (pronounced sort of like ohm'-breh) which rhymes with how I say Lombre at least. And Lombre does look kinda like a stereotypical Mexican dude with the sombrero and all. (I've been taking Spanish class recently which is why I thought of it.) Also with Servine, it says the origin is serpent and vine. But I had another thought. The next evolution after Servine is Serperior, the regal pokemon. Servine is a lot like the word Servile which relates to slavery, or servitude, and I think that could be a part of the name origin. I feel it would be a logical evolution; the humble servant, to the regal ruler, or leader. answered Nov 5, 2013 by EnergyZebro edited Nov 7, 2013 by EnergyZebro Please log in or register to add a comment. 3 votes I don't think this has been mentioned, but it's given me the chills every night to the point where I need to point this out. Crobat's name is a transliteration of it's Japanese name 'kurobatto': I've always wanted to say that 'kuro' means 'black', and Crobat seems to be a dark-looking thing. xD Hope I helped. :) EDIT: I also believe that Mew's Japanese name is 'Myuu', which is directly Japanese for 'bright'. Ironic, since I mentioned a dark Pokemon just before. answered Nov 17, 2013 by !'•-Indigo-•'! edited Nov 29, 2013 by !'•-Indigo-•'! Black =/= Dark. Sorry. Please log in or register to add a comment. 3 votes Another possible origin for Genesect is Genesis, which means 'beginning' and Genesect, according to the BW2 Pokedex, "existed 300 million years ago." EDIT: I believe Pyroar's name comes also from 'Pyro', "A person who has a compulsion to set fires; a pyromaniac." Dragonite may also come from Dynamite, which kinda makes sense (though it's a bit of a stretch), as Dragonite is very powerful and can be very destructive. Also, "Flabra" comes up as "blast" on Google Translate. While that could refer to a blast of wind, a blast is spontaneous and rough, ending a quickly as it began, and a breeze is soft and gentle, often continuing for a long time. And so, I do not believe that is the "Fla" in "Flabebe." Perhaps "Flower" is the "Fl" at least, and this would make sense, as Flabebe are found holding flowers. answered Dec 23, 2013 by Collide edited Jan 4, 2014 by Collide One of the few that I honestly agree with xD Era can't agree wit dnight because he is friendly as it says in the dex that they guide ships to shore True, but he doesn't learn Outrage for nothing. Also, dynamite comes from the Greek word that means 'power.'

From most confident to least confident: Politoed: you should probably include poly, meaning many, and toed (many-toed), or having many toes. This is because the transformation from a pollywog into a toad involves it growing toes, just like is does in the evolution. Carracosta: tirtouga is based on the Spanish word tortuga, yet for carracosta it says it comes from Latin. The word costa means the same thing in both languages, so it is more likely that they were based off of the same Spanish language. Whimsicott: It says whimsy, but it should be whimsical in my opinion. They mean the exact same thing, but whimsical fits the name better. Litleo: The lit- part of the name could be based upon having a lit fire. Deerling: It could be based off of darling as well as the other two deer and -ling. Vivillon: It's probably vivify, but I think it comes from vivid since it has vivid colors. It could be one or the other, really. Lampent: For some reason, whenever I think of this, I think of lament. I don't even think it's right, but that's what I have.

Also answering instead of commenting so you have a chance to see this. answered Feb 27, 2012 by Hex Dia is the stem for across, and the "lga" according to that means dragon. So Dialga being the time dragon who can travel "through / across" time. Kind of makes sense, but I may be stretching it a tad. Yeah I'm not sure about this one. Dialga/Palkia have their name same as the Japanese (like most legendaries), so the origin is rooted in the Japanese somewhere. "Dial" in Dialga could mean like Sand Dial, as in time keeping (It's a stretch)?

It does sound prettier I guess. At any rate, welcome to the site Riolurocks, and the use of ladybird is, in all likelihood, not an error. Too right xD I'm from the UK Cool! Learn something new everyday. Sorry about that, Lombro and HaunterTheGhost. While ladybird does sound better, I do believe in ladybug as the name origin. If you say ladybug, but leave off the 'g,' it sounds exactly like Ledyba. Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes Wigglytuff's Orgin is not Tough, it's Tuft. The Golems could be named after Reggie, who created them. Espeon could be Espionage, which is Spanish for "I spy". Espeon can spy on others. answered Jul 18, 2014 by FrackzienDelphox edited Nov 1, 2014 by FrackzienDelphox Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote I think fearow's meaning is feather + sparrow instead of fear + sparrow. answered Sep 14, 2013 by Feodor Probably a combo of all 3 I believe in fear + sparrow, as it would link with spear + sparrow from it's prevolution. :3 Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote I think tyrant is part of tyrantrums name as despot (the type of pokemon it is) is basically a tyrant. answered Sep 20, 2013 by TheZekrom that's the etymology for tyrannosaurus anyway, so I'm not sure it matters. The obvious origin is Tyrannosaurus and Tantrum, so there really isn't a way to tell. This was mentioned on a previous post about Tyranitar. MeloettaMelody is correct, 'tyrannosaurus' comes from 'tyrant' so that's technically already included.

This one was actually confirmed by Tajiri himself. The "chu" part is correct (although specifically, it's the sound a mouse makes). Nidos It is often thought that the "nido" comes from Cnidocyte (which anybody who's taken Bio 2 should know). "Ran" in Japanese can mean "orchard." I also feel the "rhino" thing is a little dubious, as in Japan the word for rhinoceros is sai. But then again, I don't have a better alternative so who knows. Golduck I just want to point out that the "gold" thing may be because psychic stuff in Pokemon is often symbolized with gold, like the Gold Badge (Japanese Marsh Badge). Gyarados Almost definitely not "gyre" (Gyarados is his original Japanese name). May be from gyakusatsu (mass slaughter), and dosu (onomatopoeia for puncturing, probably flesh in this case). Lapras While he is based off the Loch Ness monster, the name is probably from either lapis lazuli or Laplace. Mew/Mewtwo Doubtful it's from the cat noise, as "mew" is not an onomatopoeia for cats in Japan. Possibly from mutant. That's all I got for now. answered Sep 10, 2014 by Static Transit Referring to the Golduck one, Gummis for Psychic types (PMD) are Gold Gummis Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Gengar Gengar's current entry is just doppelgänger, which is usually a shadow or ghost that resembles a person. While this fits with Gengar's Pokédex entries, Gengar's name is likely also derived from gjenganger, a type of ghost from Scandinavian mythology. answered 4 days ago by Sonikah Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes I'm almost sure that Malamar's amar comes from the spanish word calamar (squid) as opposed to calamari. answered Jan 24, 2014 by Zekrom88 Calamari also squid, anyway.

Women & Gender
Ensuring equity between women and men is the key to unleashing the full potential of communities to transform their lives. Mercy Corps addresses the unmet needs of women and girls in places where they have been marginalized and disempowered, while recognizing that it is vital to involve men and boys in the process of helping women and girls claim their equal place.
Throughout our programs, we consider the needs of both genders and build on the courage and resourcefulness of women to help them improve their families and communities.

So why is Nexuiz so slow? Unity?
Phoronix: Mac OS X 10.8 vs. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Performance
Regardless of whether you're an Apple fan or not, by now you've likely heard the information about Mac OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" that began making its rounds on the Internet since last week. But how's the performance of Mac OS X 10.8 and how will it compare to the competition on the Linux side, namely Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? In this article are our first benchmarks of the developer preview release of Mac OS X 10.8 compared to Mac OS X 10.7.3 and then Ubuntu 11.10 plus the latest Ubuntu 12.04 LTS development snapshot.
So why is Nexuiz so slow? Unity?
I was surprised to see the Mac win over Ubuntu in the games. Mac isn't known for supporting games very well.
I tried find out what games are available on the Mac, but couldn't really find any comprehensive site.
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/hom...software/games had 16 games to chose from...
They probably suffer from the console dominance over the pc just like Linux.
OS X only "won" the games benchmarks because Michael used a crippled Linux GPU driver with a bag full of known problems. (Intel Sandy Bridge)
Had he compared Radeon, then it would have destroyed the Mac.
The Mac Game Store is pretty good about carrying games from both major developers/porters and smaller developers. They carry something like 1500 titles.
Might just be updated drivers? Previous tests were with 10.7.2. 10.7.3 added 2 extensions to the Intel Sandy Bridge Core Profile OpenGL 3.2 driver and 1 extension to the Legacy Profile OpenGL 2.1 driver so it's definitely seen some work.
one of the key aspects in notebooks is the battery duration, that has usually been usually less than good in Linux, and really good in OSX.
Since Ubuntu 12.04 is focusing in battery duration, would it be possible to measure that?

The Nationals try to get back on track tonight against the Orioles.
After watching his team struggle mightily at the plate the last two nights, Davey Johnson has decided to try something new tonight. His starting lineup features the following: Steve Lombardozzi leading off and playing second base. Danny Espinosa sitting on the bench. Ian Desmond batting fifth. And Carlos Maldonado making his first start behind the plate.
Hey, at this point, why not try something new? The move of Desmond down to the 5-hole is actually most intriguing to me, because it's the first time he's hit anywhere but the leadoff spot this year. Desmond, though, does bring some pop to the plate. He's second among NL shortstops with a .451 slugging percentage. And he's second among all major-league shortstops with six homers.
Ross Detwiler takes the mound for his eighth start of the season. At the same time in Toledo, Chien-Ming Wang will be making another rehab start for Class AAA Syracuse. Keep an eye on how both pitchers perform.
A friendly reminder that tonight's game is being televised on Fox, with Bob Carpenter and Bill Ripken on the call. Live updates to come here, so please check back…

Now, this is a good lineup, Davey. :applause:
- stoat - May 19, 2012 at 7:56 PM
Maybe Harper will get some decent pitches to swing at. Looks like a pretty sound lineup to me, given who's available. Go natz!
- peric - May 19, 2012 at 7:58 PM
Wow, that's a pretty big change … looks like Davey has seen enough. You can watch Chien Ming Wang who isn't even pitching as well as another guy on the 40-man (but who has options) Yunesky Maya. Yes, that's a huge surprise.Sure seems like the Chiefs have found their bats even without BHarp34 and T_Mo12. Led by Corey Brown. Brown might be the one to watch.
- Gonat - May 19, 2012 at 8:00 PM
Wow, this was the popular lineup written up over a month ago. About time Espinosa sat/benched. Maybe Davey is sending a message although he is old school so he will just say Espi is getting a mental day. Here is Lombo's opportunity
- SonnyG10 - May 19, 2012 at 8:05 PM
Yes, interesting line-up change. Hope it works well.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - May 19, 2012 at 8:08 PM
Davey also didn't bunch up 2 Lefties in a row like LaRoche and Harper had been.
- oldguyjim - May 19, 2012 at 8:10 PM
I like it!!! Let's go hitting!
- baseballswami - May 19, 2012 at 8:11 PM
So this means no pregame show? And I suppose now there will be a sudden and drastic change in each and every hitter's performance? I am glad to see Lombardozzi hitting lead off – I think his skill set makes it a good fit. I don't care in what order they hit – Zim needs to heat up, Ankiel – well, whatever, and you can't replace Morse, Werth and Ramos – you just can't. Let's see who steps up tonight. Go Nats – the O's are getting cocky.
- Exposremains - May 19, 2012 at 8:13 PM
That I'm excited to see. Its about time.
- Tom in AR - May 19, 2012 at 8:14 PM
I am excited for this lineup. Wish it had Morse, Werth and Ramos in it. Good luck to Maldonado. Really hoping he makes it through the game.
- Gonat - May 19, 2012 at 8:17 PM
Holy holy, Dusty Baker in the 9th is pulling his closer Marshall. Turn on MLB.TV for this 9th inning! 6-3 lead is now 6-5 with 2 on and 1 out.

May 19, 2012 4:14 PM ____________________________My appreciation for Ramos has gone up tremendously. He was one of the Nats hottest hitters the week before he was injured. Game Winning single, 2 HRs, etc. Flores looks thin and lost a lot of muscle mass. I'm sure the move to Maldanado is to give Flores a rest but this is how opportunities are made.
- baseballswami - May 19, 2012 at 8:28 PM
Reds held on. By the way – do you realize that in the NL and AL east every team ( except boston) is above 500? Not so in the nl and al central where only the top team is above 500. Think we are in for a tough schedule folks?? It's a steady diet of winning teams for us – hang on.
- Gonat - May 19, 2012 at 8:29 PM
McClutch'n just crushed a HR by the way
- stoat - May 19, 2012 at 8:30 PM
Gonat, I've been watching! It's astonishing to me Dusty considers Marshall his "closer" given the vastly superior alternatives available to him. Aroldis Chapman is a beast. One more out to go for Arredondo.
- stoat - May 19, 2012 at 8:33 PM
Ah… The old MLB.tv delay! Lucky I didn't bet.
- Steady Eddie - May 19, 2012 at 8:33 PM
Arredondo closed 'em out, though not as skillfully as Burnett did vs. the Pads. Jeter postponed the end by Harperesque hustle (yeah, I know) to beat out an almost DP.
- MicheleS - May 19, 2012 at 8:33 PM
GYFNG!!!FP if you are reading this. Leave a glass of Nats koolaid for Billy!Glad to see the new line up . It will work! Fingers are crossed. I will be at the game tonight. Stay Positive Insiders! I have a good feeling about tonight!
- original Nats Fan - May 19, 2012 at 8:33 PM
I like this lineup. Espi has just looked so lost at the plate. It's been hard to watch and he can't be happy with his own performance.GO NATS!
- Eugene in Oregon - May 19, 2012 at 8:34 PM
Excuse the ignorance of someone who doesn't have cable (or even own a TV), but does the game being on Fox mean that it will be blacked out on MLB.tv? Is it Fox national or regional or local? Thanks.
- Ann Ominous - May 19, 2012 at 8:38 PM
Flores looks thin and lost a lot of muscle mass. I'm sure the move to Maldanado is to give Flores a rest but this is how opportunities are made.No, Ramos and Maldonado look fat. Ramos especially, since he's still so young. Stand Flores up next to other good catchers like Weiters and Posey, and he looks fine. Excessive muscle mass is a detriment for a catcher, since it limits his mobility and maneuverability behind the plate. Perhaps Ramos's muscle mass helps his power at bat, but truthfully he could stand to lose 20-30 pounds. That would make him better on both sides of the ball.
- baseballswami - May 19, 2012 at 8:45 PM
Votto crushed a 3 run bomb against the NY Evil Empire and McCutcheon is crushing it , too. See – it's not just the nats – we are not alone. As to the catchers — Posey doesn't look very big for a catcher and seems quite athletic. His recovery and resurgence has been nothing short of amazing when you remember what happened to him.It does seem like all of our guys that have an injury and rehab come back in better shape than they were initially. I am pretty sure that ramos won't play winter league again, either. I predict that next spring training he arrives looking like a stud.
- Steady Eddie - May 19, 2012 at 9:08 PM
I know I'm almost certainly letting wishful thinking make more if this than is probably there, but I wonder if Davey's "more than likely" statent about Espi being back in the lineup tomorrow still might allow for Lombo to lead off and play LF if he does well at the plate today. Mixed feelings about that as his arm is a downgrade from almost anyone else we can put put there, but the need for high OBP out of #1 — and the probable value of having Desi's slugging % n #6 — makes it something for us to speculate about aimlessly. Lombo also does much better at the plate when he's starting than PHing.
- natsfan1a - May 19, 2012 at 9:10 PM
I'm not into lineup kibbitzing but I will say this: Go, NATS!! And I'll throw in a Go, Buster!! for my late brother's fave Giant.Not sure how the blackouts work, Eugene, but it's a national Fox broadcast.

Steady Eddie….. You hit on the head. That was Davey telling Lombo"show me something and we'll go from there". And telling Espi " no more excuses."
- baseballswami - May 19, 2012 at 9:17 PM
Above all – I want to see some Natitude out there. RossD pitches the best when he has some swagger going on. Despite the injury losses and sparse offense, these guys can play with anyone. Do it, Nats!!!!
- natsfan1a - May 19, 2012 at 9:22 PM
I'd like to see some Natitude in the stands, too. Please don't let the opposing fans shout you down on national tv, folks. I will do my part at tomorrow's game. Kaythxbai.
- natsfan1a - May 19, 2012 at 9:23 PM

- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 19, 2012 at 9:42 PM
They might not score, but this is a much better lineup. What has taken so long to get to this? I would flip flop Bernadina and Ankiel.
- sm13 - May 19, 2012 at 10:01 PM
It was definitely time to give lineup a bit of a shake. Ian has been one of our best clutch hitters, so the five spot seems lie a good fit. Glad to see bam bam batting second, Roger hasn't done much for us in that spot. Also, I suspect this is a regional Fox broadcast. Their national booth pairing is Buck and McCarver.
- sm13 - May 19, 2012 at 10:04 PM
More info…there are Fox games tonight. The "headline" game is Sox-Phils.
- sm13 - May 19, 2012 at 10:05 PM
5 Fox games tonight…
- Drew - May 19, 2012 at 10:18 PM
And now a word about the lineup change: Hallelujah!Adam LaRoche and Ian Desmond have 18 extra-base hits each. LaRoche has 30 RBIs. Desmond has only 16.Lombo's on base percentage is .400 and Ian's is something like .294.Moving Lombo up and moving Desmond down to a run-producing spot (where he's following the team's hottest hitter, instead of the pitcher) makes perfect sense. Bravo! Now GYFNG!!!

Thanks all. I'm hopeful that means no blackout on MLB.tv.On the MASN contract question, let me stipulate that I continue to worry that the Nats will get shafted. But if Mr. Boswell is correct and the arbitration panel — given its make-up and apparent self-interest — comes up with a fair, market-based number, the Nats could well end doing better than any of us originally anticipated. Why? If I'm reading these stories correctly, the periodic 'resets' will take place about every fifth year. Thus, the Nats should get the benefit of the most-recent comps, which seem to be ever rising, more often than other teams. The Braves, for example, are approaching the end of a 20-year deal that looked good in the '90s, but seems like a pittance now. On the other hand, the Rangers and Angels just signed 20 (or so) year deals that look obscenely rich now, but may be seen as bargains in the second half of those long contracts. If the Nats really do get 'current market value' from the panel and then get to 'reset' again in five years, and five years after that, and five years after that, etc., they could end up with a better '20-year deal' than anyone else. In fact — and this may be wishful thinking, I admit — it could be so good (let's hope) that Mr. Angelos feels compelled to get out of it by selling the rights back to the Nats.

- baseballswami - May 19, 2012 at 11:39 PM
I just feel that our hitters need to make the opposing pitcher work a little harder. Seems like the top half, with Detweiler , really took some time – they made him work for every out. Our hitters were gone in a flash. They look like easy outs – quick little grounders. I have also noticed that a lot of our hitters lately have been making outs on pop fouls.
- terpman33 - May 19, 2012 at 11:44 PM
Uh oh. Its 2-0. The game is probably over, with our offense. But, we shall see! GYFNG!
- baseballswami - May 19, 2012 at 11:44 PM
We have been getting scored on early a lot lately. Not a good trend.
- phil dunton - May 19, 2012 at 11:50 PM
The Nats offense is pathetic!
- baseballswami - May 19, 2012 at 11:52 PM
We went pretty deep the other night without a hit. It's going to happen this year, you know it.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 19, 2012 at 11:52 PM
Lets see. First the O's sacrafice twice in an inning and both runners score. We of course extend an inning with a walk and the walk scored. (wlaking 8th place batter is totally senseless)>Now lets look at the bombers. Desi swings at one in the dirt, it gets away and he doesn't even bother to run, replay shows it wasn't even close to being hit. Why try to fake that. Then Ankeil takes a third strike at swinging and missing earlier.Eck is not the hitting coach I learned last night. he is just advisor. We need someone to put a fire under their rears and coach, not advise, as the advise has been terrible or not accepted.
- SCNatsFan - May 19, 2012 at 11:53 PM
I hate being a fan of a team that strikes out as much as we do. Desmond waves at a ball that bounces infront of the plate and Ankiel stares at strikes. You have to feel for the pitchers because they have to be perfect every night.
- UnkyD - May 19, 2012 at 11:55 PM
Hi, everybody!!! FWIW… I feel GOOD!!! Spent the afternoon simmering the first batch of chili I've made in over 3 years… FABULOUS!!! Enjoying a rare opportunity to watch on TV…. Settle down Det… Like the lineup tonight… Be nice to win a high scoring one, for a change.GYFNG!!!!!!

- NatsFanJim - May 19, 2012 at 11:58 PM
We are watching the Nats' pitching coming back to the pack, but our hitting seems to be pulling further from the pack.The O's are exposing so many of the nats weaknesses.
- Steady Eddie - May 19, 2012 at 11:58 PM
While that third trike to Ankiel was actually a ball, it was really the HP ump trying to do the Nats a favor. he was saying, "if this guy doesn't even try to protect the plate on a close pitch on a 1-2 count, he deserves to get punched out. And he does.Well, I hope this game is "so much for Davey's attempt to encourage Det by saying he keeps his spot in the rotation when Wang gets back.". I like Det's effort but where is his game plan against a bunch of fastball hitters? Five hits and two runs with 21/3 innings? His last start wasn't too hot either. And I wrote that before Jones tagged him. He belongs back in the pen.
- NatsJack in Florida - May 20, 2012 at 12:00 AM
Keep up the solid work Det.

Hard to like a lineup that has 10-14 k's in it per night.Bernie cant hitAnkiel is a perpetual .235 guyHarper is a rookie who swings for the fences on every swing, pulls out — and is striking out too much.Zim: swinging through center but fastballsNot good
- Bigfish - May 20, 2012 at 12:03 AM
Ross Detwiler is making the Wang decision a lot easier.
- UnkyD - May 20, 2012 at 12:03 AM
Michele… It's gotta be close, though, right?
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:04 AM
Maldonado seems to fit in perfectly — swings with his head pulling out — eyes off the ball — uses that weak one-handed finish —
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:04 AM
Can't wait to see Bernie's approach…
- Steady Eddie - May 20, 2012 at 12:05 AM
Even tho Maldonado got thrown out because he's catcher-slow, he did set an example for the rest of the team by MAKING THE DAMN PITCHER WORK for the out!
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:06 AM
good job, Bernie.
- Exposremains - May 20, 2012 at 12:06 AM
I don't get it with Detwiler, he has shutdown stuff but never seems to have extended success.
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:06 AM
Swing, Ross — dont bunt
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:08 AM
blew the ball right by ole lombo
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:09 AM
weak ground ball to short … hitless in three inningsWe are making every pitcher look like Verlander.
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:11 AM
I love the Nats, but Prediction –NEXT STOP. .500 BASEBALL. No doubt about it. This team is plummeting. No hitting, weak managing, average defense, and pitchers coming back to the pack while losing their confidence (due in part to NO hitting) and a closer that is completely crazy.A serious losing streak in upon us.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 20, 2012 at 12:12 AM
Detwiler put down the bunt better than the guys last night. But what was the point as the next batter just grounds out to short.
- baseballswami - May 20, 2012 at 12:14 AM
I hate this style of coverage with the long interviews. They don't even notice the game half the time. Billy made a good point, though, about our pitchers adjusting to all the different catchers.Four in a week.makes you wonder. Nice quick inning. Now some offense?
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:16 AM
Hey Steady Eddie: Wang will never put up the numbers from the mound that Det has done thus far this season. They should trade Wang — Wang will totally flop. watch
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:16 AM
Harper pulling out on the very first pitch.
- Drew - May 20, 2012 at 12:16 AM
OK, the Nats have no hits. Lombo isn't working the count.The Nats have scored 5 runs in just 11 of their 39 games.There must be a decent flick on one of these channels.(Well, maybe I'll wait till Harper hits.)
- NatsJack in Florida - May 20, 2012 at 12:17 AM
In the meantime, Blanton is getting lit up in Philly. 5-1 Bosoxin the top of the 4th.
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:17 AM
Harper pulls his head out on pitch #3
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:19 AM
See ya, Bryce. YOu can't hit what you can't see.Can't someone tell him he's pulling out on every pitch — his head is never ON the ball.
- Exposremains - May 20, 2012 at 12:20 AM
No sure why I'm watching this game, it just makes me mad.
- baseballswami - May 20, 2012 at 12:20 AM
This is just so hard to watch. Take some pitches, foul some off, make some contact .yeah! A hit!
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:20 AM
Nice hit, Zim.
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:21 AM
Davey Johnson 63-59 as Nats manager. And look at the pitching staff he has this year?Riggleman is starting to look good — he understood the game far better.
- baseballswami - May 20, 2012 at 12:23 AM
Even alr has gone ice cold.
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:23 AM
I noticed that Arrieta was fan voted the star of the game yesterday with a whopping 82%. Obviously, the viewship is 82% Oriole fans.Pathetic.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 20, 2012 at 12:24 AM
Could someone tell the advisor to ask the batters to cut down the swing with two strikes. Chances of succeess would increase.
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:26 AM
Uh oh, my wife is now rooting for the O's — says they're "so much better."Yep, she's right again.
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:27 AM
The Orioles have bunted or attempted to bunt more in this young game, than the Nats have tried in the last 10 games.Buck plays the game; Davey can't remember a game is going on.
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:28 AM
Personally, Ankiel is one of my favorite players, but we can't win a pennant with him in the lineup. Simple as that.Ankiel and Bernadina in the same outfield — combined with a talented but very raw rookie? no pennant there.
- NatsFanJim - May 20, 2012 at 12:30 AM
Markakis is a beast. Good blast, Nick.

- baseballswami - May 20, 2012 at 12:36 AM
Getting shelled. Our outfield should be morse, Harper, Werth . Bernie and ankiel are supposed to be good defenders but are not. This is not our team . Bernie, ankiel, lombo, catcher-half this lineup should not be out there. They are all second stringers and It is showing. Even the guys who were doing ok are off their games. Sad to watch.
- sm13 - May 20, 2012 at 12:37 AM
Why ate we going to waste Stammen in this game. Let Ryan Perry go out there for few innings and save Craig for a closer contest.
- NatsLady - May 20, 2012 at 12:38 AM
Dewiler single-handedly destroying staff ERA. CMW takes his next start. Can't be worse than this. O's fans loud and happy.

- phil dunton - May 20, 2012 at 12:42 AM
Nats always puke on themselves whenever they have a big home crowd or whenever they are on national TV. This game is an embarrassment but at least we won't have to suffer through H-Rod tonight.
- baseballswami - May 20, 2012 at 12:45 AM
If you are not a true fan you are apathetic. You get the maddest at those you love. I am pretty mad right now. Billy Ripken not being hard on Ross. Doesn't think he pitched badly. O's hitters just on fire right now. He is a very fair announcer considering his history with the o's.

I am thinking maybe we see Lombo tomorrow, too.I think there are lots of legitimate things to notice in a baseball team, NatsFanJim.. And joy on the field, love of the game and a great smile go high on my list. Don't even get us started on sme of the other things some of us notice. They stand out on that field a long time. I'm just sayin'.
- baseballswami - May 20, 2012 at 1:42 AM
I am thinking that this is too little, too late. In April, 4 runs would have won TWO games! I know I said this before but it bears repeating. Our 9 player line up consists of a pitcher, 3 bench players and a triple A catcher, catcher number 4 in a week for the pitchers. Granted, some of those guys hit in the sixth, but they are still not the First String. It's going to be a long season and this last week has not been our very best time. Glad to see their never-say-die natitude is alive and well. If they can just hang on and fight through this swoon….
- baseballswami - May 20, 2012 at 2:00 AM
At least Danny made contact….
- ehay2k - May 20, 2012 at 2:03 AM
As frustrated as I get with this team wasting amazing pitching, it's still a long way to the end of the season, but not that long until we get a key player back -Morse. Then Storen, then Werth. Even Leon will be back , for what that's worth. So, if we can hang on, maybe play .500 ball through June, maybe bring on a hitting instructor to help Eck teach the things he doesn't understand, or help the students grasp what Eck is trying to teach ( sorry, coudn't resist), we will be OK. But losing two to B'more will hurt. Fan anger will be high.
- baseballswami - May 20, 2012 at 2:04 AM

I believe that was ball 4.
- ehay2k - May 20, 2012 at 2:20 AM
Sigh, at least we made a game of it. (To bad that has been a post-game balm for years now). I love that we don't quit, I hate that we cannot hit.
- Steady Eddie - May 20, 2012 at 2:25 AM
Ah well — makes the failure to bring Desi home in the 8th all the more costly.The point about Gio's smile is that the personality behind it is a phenomenal asset to team chemistry. Lapparently "smile" alone was overly subtle for some.Along with the sexism — thanks, ehay2k — anyone who thinks "Riggleman is starting to look good"(@8:21) has other issues.

Hey, wait a minute…"NatsFanJim"?Where is Riggleman these days anyway?

Thanks to ehay and Steady Eddie for standing up for JaneB, who was only answering a question from another (and male, btw) poster. What is this, Ballpark Guys or NatsInsider? Speaking of which, I agree with my esteemed colleagues MicheleS and JaneB: it's Gio.Thanks for sharing re. FP's tweet, MicheleS.On a game note, was really disappointed to lose a series, particularly to the O's. That said, as I remarked to my hubby afterwards, I didn't find this loss as frustrating as Friday's. I liked that the team almost came back from the deep hole into which Det put them. I liked that the bullpen, including Henry, held the O's down the rest of the way. I liked that Zimm's bat may be heating up.

Have NatsFanJim and Mick ever been seen together? Just wondering.

Well, I was writing to ask for a test profile for Linux ACPI.
But in the meantime I found this:
Exactly what I was asking for! I thought of posting this as a reference for others looking for power management tests. Also, by posting this here I hope it gains a wider audience and someone with more knowledge than myself gets to write a PTS test profile for this ACPI test tool.
Also they use git for versioning:
Alas, I found no word on licensing...
They also provide other power-related tests:
* battery life,
* power profiling for applications (by a tool called powerTOP)
An idea I like a lot (http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/ap...ed-devices.php):
<<Unused Devices Should Not Be Kept Open The Linux kernel often uses device being open to indicate that a device is in use, for devices like sound controller. If the application leaves a device open, even when the device is not being actively used, the kernel will assume that the device is in use. As a result, the device will not go into power saving state. Applications should close the device when they are not being used. >>

Source information: Record Group 17 (RG-17) of Land Maps were produced by John Melish a geographer, traveler, and entrepeneur who convinced the Pennsylvania legislature to pay him to produce the first set of official land maps. Duputy surveyors spread out across PA counties between 1816 and 1821 to compile the works, then sent them to Mr. Melish to construct one larger Pennsylvania Land Map. The smaller county maps, however, were copied by clerks before sending them on to Mr. Melish. The first clerk to execute copies was John Whitesides, and the maps became known as The Whiteside Maps, or Melish-Whiteside. The maps were submitted to the legislature in March 1822 and were deemed detailed and accurate. Scanned images online include county maps from forty-four of the Commonwealth's sixty-seven counties.

Aren't you tired with that the most of games take place in US? I'm asking because recently I found out that people on SD forums ask for next Sleeping Dogs being placed in US. For me the best thing about Sleeping Dogs was that it wasn't in freaking America. It was so freaking refreshing and because of that I felt this constant "awe" when I was exploring Hong Kong. Now people wants it to take a place in US. It would feel like every freaking GTA, Saint Row and other games like that.

Dr. Ying Competition
Finalist Neel Patel is an 11th grade student at Oviedo High School in Seminole County and is a member of the Beta Club and Mu Alpha Theta. A science research since sixth grade, Neel is now a dual enrollment student at the University of Central Florida and has published and presented his research at various simulation and training conferences. Though he keeps busy with his studies, Neel is also an active member of his school's varsity swimming team and water polo team and enjoys swimming and surfing. He earned the rank of Eagle Scout through the Boy Scouts of America.
Neel's research project for the Ying Competition focuses on how humans absorb information, specifically graphs and patterns. Over the past three years, he has worked on various studies having to do with sonification (auditory patterns). He decided to further this by concentrating on the accuracy of comprehension and the exact processes of sonification. It is his hope that from his research we will be able to better understand how to apply sonification for everyday use such as assisting the visually impaired.

Cain looks for ninth win in middle game with Mets
Harang looks to limit homers in second start for Mets
This season, very few Giants players have performed to the level they did during their 2012 World Series title run, and Matt Cain may be the poster child for those struggles.
On Wednesday night at Citi Field, Cain faces the Mets, looking for just his ninth win of the season after finishing the 2012 campaign sixth in National League Cy Young Award voting. The right-hander is in jeopardy of not reaching double-digit wins for the first time since 2008.
One player Cain won't have to contend with on Wednesday will be Mets third baseman David Wright. There was a chance Wright would return for this series against the Giants, but manager Terry Collins confirmed Tuesday that Wright won't be ready.
Collins said Wright could play this weekend, but the exact date depends on how he feels Wednesday. If there's any lingering soreness from workouts, Wright's return could get pushed back.
But Collins is still confident Wright will play again this season, which has been the plan all along.
"I think David is going to play, you're going to see him back on the field before the season's over," Collins said. "I think it's going to be important for Dave to know he's 100 percent healthy, and I think it's important for our team, for our organization and our fanbase to know, 'Hey look, our star is going to be OK when it comes spring.'"
On the mound for the Mets will be right-hander Aaron Harang, making his second start for the club. He pitched well over six innings in his last outing, giving up three runs on four hits with 10 strikeouts. But he couldn't avoid the long ball, surrendering three of them in an eventual Mets loss to Washington.
Cain, meanwhile, is coming off a near-flawless seven innings of work against Los Angeles, in which he was done in by a throwing error on a potential double-play ball back to the mound. The Dodgers would go on to score a run, which proved to be the difference in the game.
"It was bad timing, and sometimes that's part of it," said Cain, who allowed one other run and struck out five that night. "We make that play all the time in Spring Training. It's a simple play, but sometimes the timing's off. You're going full speed and it's just a little bit different."
Giants: Scutaro could be out for season
Second baseman Marco Scutaro may be shut down for the season with an injured right pinky finger that the club does not want to risk aggravating.
On Tuesday, Scutaro underwent an MRI on the finger, though results are not yet known.
On the season, he is hitting .297 with 31 RBIs.
Mets: Harvey opts for rehab
Mets ace Matt Harvey, who was shut down last month with a partially-torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow, has chosen to undergo a rehab throwinf program instead of Tommy John surgery.
"There's always a risk to having surgery, and there's obviously going to be a risk not to have surgery," Harvey said. "I'd rather bet on myself doing the work to stay out of getting surgery than having to go through it."
Harvey's throwing program will last six to eight weeks if all goes well and extend into the offseason. If he has a setback, Harvey will undergo surgery.
Worth noting
• Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada has three hits -- including a home run -- and a walk in nine plate appearances against Cain.
• Hunter Pence has driven in a run in seven straight games, during which he has knocked in 20 total runs.
• Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy is hitting .355 since Aug. 28.

Concorso Italiano: Lamborghini Concept S production version breaks cover
August 26, 2005 Gizmag's sometime-scribe David Fox ventured down to the Concorso Italiano in Monterey last weekend and posted his report focussed on a dramatic new production Lamborghini seen in public for the first time. Back in February we showed the first images of Lamborghini's Concept S. Drawing inspiration from the classic single-seat racing cars of the fifties, the modern-day open top car was based on the Gallardo as "an extreme and spectacular expression of the Lamborghini brand." Created at the Centro Stile Lamborghini in Sant'Agata Bolognese by Luc Donckerwolke, Head of Lamborghini Design, the "Concept S" in production form has yet to be named, but Lamborghini gave the first production car a public outing this weekend at the Concorso Italiano in Monterey along with the news that it will produce the machine in limited quantities. It didn't stop there though, because people are posting us links of great photographic coverage of the event, so this article is now linking to an evolving list of Concorso pages. Other Concorso and Pebble Beach links welcome.

Children aged 0-4
Source of information
Measured by the field staff
Child's length or height.
Check age of child in UF11: Child under 2 years old. Measure length (lying down). Child age 2 or more years. Measure height (standing up).
Interviewer instructions
Weights and heights of all eligible children under five in the household will be measured after all the Questionnaires for Children Under Five are completed. However, if some respondents or children have to leave the household before all questionnaires in the household have been completed, or if a call-back has to be made to interview another respondent, it is best to complete the measurements on those children who are present. The most important thing is not to miss measuring those who are eligible. Measurement of heights and weights will normally be the responsibility of field editors. Each fieldwork team will have one set of measuring boards and weighing scales. Therefore, once you have completed the questionnaires and are ready to start anthropometric measurements, you should call upon field editors to join you in the household, together with the equipment. Although the field editor will be the main team member responsible for anthropometric measurements, you will also receive training on how to weigh and measure children. In some cases, the entrance of field editors to the household may not be possible; in such cases, you may yourself perform the measurements, with the assistance of the mother. Each child will be weighed and measured, and the results will be recorded in his/her questionnaire. Be sure the weight for each child is recorded on the correct questionnaire. Procedures for weight and height measurements are discussed in detail in Appendix Five. This section is confined to explaining how the results will be coded. --- Check the age of the child in UF11. If the child is under 2 years old, check the appropriate box, measure and record recumbent length (that is, lying down), to the nearest tenth of a centimetre. If the child is age two or older, check the corresponding box and then measure and record standing height. Write a zero first if the number of centimetres is two digits.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Roger Cipollone on WhitePages
Meaning & Origins
From an Old French personal name, Rog(i)er, of Germanic (Frankish) origin, from hrōd 'fame' + gār, gēr 'spear'. This was adopted by the Normans and introduced by them to Britain, replacing the native Old English form Hrōðgār. Roger was one of the most popular boys' names throughout the medieval period, but less so after the Reformation, though it has continued in regular use to the present day. Roger, Count of Sicily (c.1031–1101), son of Tancred, recovered Sicily from the Arabs. His son, also called Roger, ruled Sicily as king, presiding over a court noted for its splendour and patronage of the arts.

Rays look to hold off Blue Jays in finale
Toronto aims to hand Tampa Bay first home series loss since mid-June
Young Chris Archer is smart enough to know everyone has ups and downs and that he is no exception.
The 24-year-old Rays right-hander has already experienced both through his first 20 Major League games, winning American League Pitcher and Rookie of the Month honors in July before struggling in his last three starts.
Archer experienced forearm tightness two starts ago, forcing him to leave after 1 2/3 innings, and surrendered five runs in five innings his last time out. Although his last three games (6.59 ERA, .327 average against) have been far worse than his July numbers (0.73, .140 in five starts), Archer is not letting it get to him.
"You're going to have outstanding months where the ball bounces your way, and you're going to have average months," Archer said. "The true test is who you're going to be in your next start. My last game was not what I consider to be pitching to my potential. The next one is going to be another fun game."
Rays manager Joe Maddon -- whose club is two games behind the first-place Red Sox -- is also not worried.
"The biggest difference I saw was command of his fastball," Maddon said. "He's a young guy. He's still finding his way. I'll take what he's been doing. I think he's made tremendous progress this year. I'm not concerned."
Archer will face a Blue Jays squad that despite Saturday's 6-2 victory has struggled at Tropicana Field, where it has lost 44 of its last 60 games against Tampa Bay.
"We've had trouble here," manager John Gibbons said.
The Blue Jays look to hand the Rays their first home series loss since mid-June on Sunday but will be doing so at less than full strength. Shortstop Jose Reyes is out until at least Tuesday because of swelling and discomfort in his right knee.
But even with Reyes and a lineup that also includes Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion, Gibbons said "our offense has kind of cooled off."
Blue Jays: Redmond on the bump
The Blue Jays send right-hander Todd Redmond to the mound Sunday after he threw 5 1/3 scoreless innings in his last start. He could have worked deeper had he not had an 11-day layoff, but he is hoping to make another good impression in Sunday's series finale.
"I hope I am," Redmond said when asked about making an impression. "But besides that, you have to treat every start like it could be your last. Just go out there, throw strikes and compete."
• Brett Lawrie has a seven-game hitting streak (.464).
Rays: Scott lands on DL
The Rays placed designated hitter Luke Scott on the 15-day disabled list Saturday after he missed the past two days because of lower back spasms.
"He was a little better today, but I could tell it was still bothering him even sitting down," Maddon said. "More than likely, it will take several more days, but I think it will be a minimal stay. We did not want to go with that position being void."
• The Rays have won 17 of their last 22 home games and are undefeated (7-0-1) in their last eight home series.
Worth noting
• The Rays have won seven of their last nine against Toronto. A victory Sunday would be the sixth consecutive season the Rays have won the season series.
• Rays shortstop Yunel Escobar has a six-game hitting streak (.333).
