Davey Johnson makes his return to managing tonight at Angel Stadium.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Hello from sunny Southern California, where tonight Davey Johnson manages his first big-league game in 11 years, having taken over the reins of the Nationals for the remainder of this season (and possibly beyond).
Johnson's first lineup looks a lot like those John McLaren wrote out over the weekend in Chicago. Roger Bernadina leads off. Jayson Werth bats second. Laynce Nix is batting cleanup, though he's in left field. Matt Stairs does make his first appearance in a long time, serving as DH.
One thing to remember: Drew Storen is not with the club tonight. He was in Indiana for his grandmother's funeral. He's expected to rejoin the team in time for tomorrow's game. We'll have to see who would get the call in the ninth inning if the Nats hold a tight lead.
Plenty of updates to come, including highlights from Davey's first press conference. Also, catch me live from the ballpark on CSN at 6 p.m…

Wow.. Stairs is in the game! And batting 8th!
- Anonymous (who else?) - Jun 27, 2011 at 9:50 PM
How can he bat Stairs 8th? Johnson has to be fired!
- erocks33 - Jun 27, 2011 at 9:55 PM
Who thinks the Nats might actually do better if the pitcher batted 8th tonight instead of Stairs?? Just kidding, of course. Let's hope LannEn has another good outing and that the bullpen can get a little more rest (preferably without the need for us to worry about who's going to close the game).
- Take The Elevator - Jun 27, 2011 at 9:56 PM
Matt Stairs does make his first appearance in a long time, serving as DH________________________________UGH, how I wish this guy would make his ultimatum and resign like Riggleman and just go take an elevator out of the park today.It would be funny though if he did something today that meant something towards a WIN.
- Nats Outsider - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:00 PM
Here's a cheer for CSN, for sending the best baseball writer in DC to cover the Nats-Angels game. Thanks CSN, and I will be looking forward to the in-game updates!
- Grandstander - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:01 PM
Stairs has a good record against this guy. I actually like him batting 8th here too. Think of Riggs batting the pitcher 8th, Stairs is like our pitcher, except he just doesn't bat as well. That allows Desmond to hit before our high OBP guys Bernadina and (hopefully a no longer slumping) Werth. I think Davey will give Stairs three days at DH to prove he deserves a spot on this team and will convince Rizzo to release him if he doesn't.Hey, a guy can dream…
- Bill B - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:01 PM
Zim-Nix-Morse-Danny-Ramos-Stairs-Desi: R-L-R-S-R-L-R. There's your explanation. And I suppose Johnson wants to give Sairs a chance before cutting him.
- J. - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:06 PM
I like the option of giving Stairs some ABs. If you're going to have him on your roster you should really use him, and it's hardly fair to cut a guy when he hasn't been playing.
- SilverSpring8 - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:12 PM
BillB, I had the same thought. Could this series be Stairs' swan song with Da Nats?
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:13 PM
Stairs actually has hit well against tonight's and tomorrow night's pitchers.
- Doc - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:13 PM
Congrats on your trip out west Mark. We don't have as much fun without you. Hope they give you a free media pass to Dizzy Land.
- Gonat - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:14 PM
Stairs has more at-bats then some of the pitchers who have out-performed him.He has done nothing to tell me he deserves a spot in front of a guy like Bixler or one of the 'hot hitting' Minor Leaguers.
- Grandstander - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:19 PM
I'm not kidding about Stairs either…Matt Stairs – 5 for 43, 0 RBIJason Marquis – 8 for 35, 3 RBIJordan Zimmermann – 4 for 25, 3 RBILivan Hernandez – 4 for 25, 4 RBI
- Anonymous8 - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:20 PM
Let's see Lannan hasn't gotten any hits this year but at least he can bunt. I prefer Lannan to Stairs but I really would have liked to see LH Marquis to Stairs.
- Gonat - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:26 PM
Grandstander, I was getting ready to give Jason Marquis stats.I bet Marquis would do well as the DH.
- NatsLady - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:28 PM
I've wondered why they don't pinch-hit or DH Marquis more, since he loves to hit. I thought maybe it was because they don't want a pitcher injured on the basepaths, but they are forever letting Marquis pinch-run, and he gets his uniform dirty sliding, so, any thoughts on why they don't use him more?
- NatsLady - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:29 PM
P.S., why is it so hard to post on this blog?
- Anonymous8 - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:33 PM
Grandstander, thanks. There you go NO RBIS for Stairs. Looks like Jason Marquis would be more productive and there is a guy who only bats 1 game every 5 days.I am sick of people whining about how MLB veterans need lots of at-bats to be effective. True for some but a guy who is put on the roster to be ONLY a PINCH HITTER should be very well prepared for his high paying job. Such a waste of a roster spot.
- Not Werth It - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:38 PM
Here's hoping that in the death rattle of his amazing career Matt Stairs can come up with a couple big hits tonight. A red hot LannEn against a bunch of guys that have never seen his stuff before? Yes please.
- MicheleS - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:46 PM
MLB is showing DJ chatting with Werth.. Start using that great mind of yours to get him out of that FUNK!!!
- oldguyjim - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:48 PM
Using starting pitchers as a DH is playing with fire. One bad slide and they may be on the DL. Go with Stairs since that is his job. If he doesn't do his job Davey will take care of it. I like the lineup. Should have some pop is Werth and Zim can start to hit. Big if!!
- Grandstander - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:52 PM
wRC+ is probably one of my favorite statistics for measuring offensive value. It stands for Weighted Runs Created, adjusted for park/league averages. It's easier than it sounds. Without getting too bogged down in the different stats, it's a way of taking all of a guys offensive production stats (doubles, walks, ks, steals, everything).What you need to know about this stat is that 100 is league average. Each point above or below 100 can be thought of as a percentage point. So Michael Morse at 143, is 43% better than league average. And this is all adjusted for the park they play in and so forth. Very fair stat and highly useful. Here's today's lineup with their wRC+:Bernadina – 115Werth – 107Zimmerman – 86Nix – 124Morse – 143Espinosa – 120Ramos – 94Stairs – 14Desmond – 67And because I know you're all wondering, Marquis' wRC+ is 28. Jerry Hairston, who should be playing LF with Nix DHing (or vice versa) is 91.Here's the kicker.Only 6 players have had a lower wRC+ all season (min 50 PA). All 6 were DFA'd and are no longer on the roster.
- Stranded_in_Philly - Jun 27, 2011 at 10:55 PM
Everyone beat me to it. I'd rather Marquis DH than Stairs. And I don't mean that pejoratively. I think at this point in their careers, Marquis is the better hitter. And can lay a bunt down.Also, once Stairs DOES get on base (by a walk, I'm sure, if at all), he doesn't exactly do a whole lot of moving around out there.
- NatsLady - Jun 27, 2011 at 11:06 PM
No, when Stairs gets on base, Marquis comes in to pinch run for him.
- Anonymous - Jun 27, 2011 at 11:07 PM
Quit knocking Matty Stairs. He has as much change of getting a hit as Jason Werthless does.
- MIcheleS - Jun 27, 2011 at 11:07 PM
Grandstander…Are you related to Boz? All those stats reminds me of him! And it's a compliment
- Grandstander - Jun 27, 2011 at 11:15 PM
Thank you. Nope, not related to Boz, just a firm believer that some statistics are better than others. Watching the press conference, who was that jerk who stepped on Mark's question to ask about Mike Scioscia? Get those LA beat guys outta there!

For those interested, Wang looking okay at Hagerstown. Two scratch hits in 2 innings, Hagerstown up 3-1. According to Suns' announcer, Wang "throwing nice and easy".
- Joe Seamhead - Jun 27, 2011 at 11:35 PM
Stairs? What a hoot! And if he gets a game winning hit? (drum roll here). We'll be riding a stairway to heaven.Sorry. So, with the Dodgers in such bad straights, is there still any room left for a stadium in Brooklyn? Whadda coup that would be for NY, eh?

- Slidell - Jun 27, 2011 at 11:56 PM
Less-than-stellar fielding leads to a triple and double and Wang gives up run number 2 in the 3rd.Don't know why Harper isn't playing; hope it means he is on the way to Potomac. I have tickets for the Potomac visit to Frederick next week.

Nothing Stairs can do now can make up for his appalling showing so far this year. It's time for him to go. (Actually, it was time over a month ago.) I sure hope that Davey Johnson recognizes that. But he has to, right? He's a genius, one of the all time best managers, etc. etc.
- JaneB - Jun 28, 2011 at 12:02 AM
I know, natsfan1a (and others who commented on Mark being there). Iy makes a huge difference to have mark with the team, instead of at home. Especially now. And especially after the All Star break, when we start seeing teams make moves. Basically, he should be covering every game no matter where it is. There isn't anyone covering this team better.Go LannEn. GYFNG!
- Slidell - Jun 28, 2011 at 12:05 AM
Wang is done for the night after 3. Two runs on four hits, zero walks and three strikeouts."Throwing without pain" according to the announcer.
- SonnyG10 - Jun 28, 2011 at 12:20 AM
I hope Davey wasn't one of the people that wanted Stairs on the team. If so, hope he realizes what a mistake that has been.
- MicheleS - Jun 28, 2011 at 12:24 AM
@Slidell.. any comment on why Harper isn't playing?
- NatsJack in Florida - Jun 28, 2011 at 12:29 AM
Slidell…. Wangs been throwing without pain for several months now. And by "nice and easy" I think they mean 85 – 87 MPH which is nowhere near what he used to throw.It sounded like his sinker was working though. I won't give up yet but I don't have alot of hope.On the other hand, I loved Davey's presser.
- Slidell - Jun 28, 2011 at 12:31 AM
MicheleS: Haven't heard anything. Maybe he's still resting his injured thumb.

Couple of thoughts…some random…some…not so much:NatsLady…I'll take the posting process here over NJ's clunkiness and "fecal matter" any day..Re: Stairs…It's my hope that he will, in this series, pull a Crash DaviS…hit that one last dinger and hang'em up.I have lost any faith at all in CW Wang making it to Nats Park (and there wasn't much to begin with). I think the closest we'll get to a Wang sighting will be if someone goes into 1970's Ray Stevens mode (bonus points to whoever gets the reference without doing a google search).I watched some of the baseball games on ESPN and I really don't like the strike zone box that they keep up during the at bat. I much prefer the pitch trak that shows some of the more debatable calls.
- Alan_A - Jun 28, 2011 at 12:38 AM
Not sure why the MASN guys were complaining about Davey's lack of energy. What I saw was that the lights were on and the wheels are turning. Quick answers, no hesitation. And reminded me of the way he carried himself in NY. What were they expecting? Cheerleading? Fireworks? "Passion"? Me, I'll take what he gave us.

I, for one, would like to give props where they are due. Mr. Zuckerman, in a game thread I can't recall at the moment, correctly predicted that Pat Corrales would be Davey's bench coach. Well done, sir. I hope you put money on that with some of the other writers.Kilgore transcribed it for me so I didn't have to, but one thing Davey said really brought a smile to my face.I definitely think this club has been an underachiever offensively. I don't like to give up outs. I'll bunt when I have to. I'll hit and run when I feel like it. I think this club hasn't quite come into it's own. It doesn't really know how good an offensive club it can be. It definitely has a chance to be a good one."YES!!! Finally someone who gets it!All this Riggleman "smart ball" nonsense has been giving me fits. If you play for one run, you may or may not get it, but you won't get any more than one. There's so much power on this team, it's insane how we've been giving away outs. You only get 27. Look up and down that lineup, every single guy has homerun power. We've got the pitching, we've got the defense, time for some 3-run homers. Espinosa knows what I'm talking about, amirite?

People, we are two games OVER .500 and all you want to do is crush Matt Stairs, give me a break. Lets see if we can just play 500 ball until the All-Star break and then go from there. If we end up at 2 games over 500 then we finish 83 – 79 and how good would that be!!! Finish this road trip 3-3, go 5-4 at home and now we are 3 games over .500!! Just take things one day at a time and it will all workout. Has everyone forgotten what we have gone through the last few years. We are playing great ball, we have improved our defense, and pitching, we have signed a big time player who other teams coveted, our minor league teams are all improved and yet most of what I read is negative or coulda shoulda. GYFNG!!!

- Section 222 - Jun 28, 2011 at 2:51 AM
Rumor is that one of the reasons Stairs has stuck on the roster for so long is that he's tight with Werth from their days in Philly. Maybe if Stairs is finally cut, Werth will start hitting…
- sjm308 - Jun 28, 2011 at 2:51 AM
Natsjack – if Wang can't get it over 90mph is he done? read a little on Nat's Prospects and although he gave up 2 runs in 3 innings he did get 6 groundouts and was in no pain. If nothing else, he does know how to win and this probably is it for him. Not sure who he would replace but I am guessing that when Zimmnn reaches his inning count he might be someone (along with Detwiller) that we look at.Lannan just threw an 8 pitch inning as we go into the 4thGYFNG

I'll say this, Lannan clearly doesn't have his stuff tonight, but he's somehow avoided giving it all away. The leadoff man has reached every inning but one and he's allowed 7 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings but only gave up 2 runs. You get the feeling if he can just push us through the 6th we can get this.
- TimDz - Jun 28, 2011 at 3:43 AM
Pretty much have the same thought, Grandstander… As he just gave up a lead off single, I don't think he is a long for this game…
- JaneB - Jun 28, 2011 at 3:45 AM
No, SEction 222! I was thinking, "great minds think alike!" I think they are both trying to bring some Phillies juice into our clubhouse. They are looking back at when things were" good"…instead of being Nationals, and being in THIS MOMENT. When Stairs moves on, Werth can become a Real Nat, instead of living in the in between. He won't have anyone tugging him into the past.Does it sound to you all like those Angels fans are screaming when nothing is going on? The evil small part of me hopes they are doing the wave.
- Gonat - Jun 28, 2011 at 3:45 AM
What a double play to save Lannan's butt!
- FS - Jun 28, 2011 at 3:47 AM
Loved the 11:21 update. Nats need to get going at the plate and Lannan needs to stop bleeding.
- Gonat - Jun 28, 2011 at 3:50 AM
Well, the double play just saved a bigger inning as I thought John would get out of it. Lannan just didn't have it tonight. A shame.
- Grandstander - Jun 28, 2011 at 3:50 AM
Was it my imagination, or was Davey Johnson walking up to get Lannan when Jewitt called him back. After that there was 3 straight hits to give the Angels the lead.Now, Davey isn't going to say that was the case, but I swear the camera cut to him walking up the steps when Jewitt called him back and I thought I saw him point to home plate and say but we've got righties coming up.Really want to see that again.

@GrandstanderI saw that also, actually called to my wife "here comes Davey". Jewitt did point to the on deck or their bench and said something, and Davey came back down the steps.
- Drew8 - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:01 AM
Grandstander: I had the same thought. Davey was going to make the move and then he waited one batter too long.BTW, as we search in vain for a leadoff hitter, that smoke on the horizon is coming from Syracuse, where Steve Lombardozzi is on fire.Since his promotion to Syracuse he is 15 for 34. He is batting .441 with a .457 on base percentage.
- Sec3MySofa - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:02 AM
too early to run for Stairs, I suppose?
- Gonat - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:02 AM
Grandstander, he talked with McCatty who seemed to tell him something. Davey definitely rocked on the step.
- Section 222 - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:02 AM
@JaneB – From your lips to DJ's ears. @Grandstander — I rewound and had a look. That was McCatty pulling DJ back, if that what he did. I'm not a lip reader, but didn't see any indication they were talking about RH batters.

little surprised johnson left lannan and no pinch runner for stairs.
- Grandstander - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:04 AM
Why do you not PR for Stairs? He's the go-ahead run with 1 out in the 7th. Ultimately, it didn't matter, but I'm just not sure why you don't throw Bixler or Hairston in there at that point.
- Section 222 - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:08 AM
But if you pinch run for Stairs, you lose his bat for the next time around the order…. oh wait. Hahahaha.
- Grandstander - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:08 AM
Glad we're all on top of our games at this late hour. Thanks for the clarification!
- hotrod - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:08 AM
Davey's made 2 mistakes so far tonight.Not having a hot Hairston in left field(he throws that runner out easy) with Nix dhing and Leaving Lannan in to pitch to those 2 rh batters at the bottom of the lineup.
- Exposremains - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:09 AM
maybe johnson is doing the gentleman thing and letting Stairs play his last game all the way
- Gonat - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:14 AM
HotRod – I have to agree with you on both but probably didn't want to go to the bullpen so early with Storen out. It didn't work out. It happens.On Nix, I'm just not feeling it. He has cooled down from that hot streak and his fielding and arm just aren't good. He takes a looping path to balls sometimes instead of aggressively going straight to them allowing them to fall in front of him.Probably was thinking Nix over Hairston for the RH/LH matchup.
- Grandstander - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:18 AM
At least he went and got Mattheus right there. That 3-2 pitch was pathetic. I'd like to see how HRod bounces back from a less than stellar outing last time.
- dj in Fl. - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:21 AM
I was thinking Nix leg must not be 100%. He has always fielded much better than tonight.
- Anonymous8 - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:23 AM
dj in Fl. said… I was thinking Nix leg must not be 100%. He has always fielded much better than tonight. June 28, 2011 12:21 AMThen it is a big mistake by Davey to put him in there.
- Grandstander - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:29 AM
That McCatty callback is now looming large. What a shame that we probably had this game if Davey trusts his instincts. Methinks the Cat will be in the doghouse for awhile after that.
- Gonat - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:29 AM
Stranded_in_Philly said… Everyone beat me to it. I'd rather Marquis DH than Stairs. And I don't mean that pejoratively. I think at this point in their careers, Marquis is the better hitter. And can lay a bunt down.Also, once Stairs DOES get on base (by a walk, I'm sure, if at all), he doesn't exactly do a whole lot of moving around out there. June 27, 2011 6:55 PM ___________________________________Well, you called it early.

Don't think; it can only hurt the ball club.

LOL you guys are funny.Someone did mention that Danny was due for one tonight because Morse homered earlier.

Thanks Mike for pulling Santana…You and Eric Wedge have the same scouting crew?
- Grandstander - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:49 AM
Gonat – I believe Drew8 was conferring upon Danny the same middle name Red Sox fans confer upon Bucky Dent. Just in a more positive light.
- Grandstander - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:51 AM
Ok, another game of "did you catch"Did you catch Stairs looking back at Davey with a face that screamed, "do you really want me to go back out there to leadoff the inning?"
- natteringnabob - Jun 28, 2011 at 4:52 AM

We were playing with House money this game the way our pitching was going. Tough loss, but 16 hits in one game? I just wish McCatty didn't call off DJ pulling Lannan.
- SonnyG10 - Jun 28, 2011 at 5:12 AM
Oh well, good game anyway. We can still win the series.
- Drew8 - Jun 28, 2011 at 5:25 AM
Here's job one for Davey: Find some way, somehow, to get baserunners at the top of the lineup for the beastly bats that stalk the infield.Bringing up Lombo is unlikely because it would disrupt the greatly improved defense in the middle of the diamond. Gotta believe Rizzo will pull the trigger on a deal for a center fielder.
- JaneB - Jun 28, 2011 at 5:53 AM
I think the TV guys were right about maybe sitting Werth. He knows he's not doing the job. But they were in it to the last. Tomorrow is another day. Well, on the west coast, at least. Had fun reading you all tonight!
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 28, 2011 at 12:07 PM
First order of business for Johnson will be to get Werth to an eye doctor. He swings at ones not in the zone, and lets ones in the zone go by. If the doctor says nothing wrong his vision, it is time to bench him as his mind is not in the game. I have been giving him the benefit of the doubt up to now, but no longer, this has to stop.You would think one would feel guilty for taking money like he has and produced so little in return. Humor nature is that way.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jun 28, 2011 at 12:10 PM
At least Dunn swings at most of his strike out. You have at least a chance to get a hit. I bet over half of Werth strike outs are called.

Lincecum looking to extend success vs. Padres
For Tim Lincecum, Friday's start will be all about attempting to repeat history.
The Giants right-hander is set to face the Padres for the second straight time, and that first outing could not have gone much better. On Saturday in San Francisco, he tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings, racking up a season-high eight strikeouts to improve to 2-0 with a 3.97 ERA.
This time around, Lincecum will be taking the mound at Petco Park, but otherwise continuity abounds.
"I think you kind of go off of what happened in that game." Lincecum said. "You try to work off that and how that game plan worked and where it didn't. And then you try and correct those. They could throw out a whole completely different lineup. So you've got to be ready for that, just study your hitters. The biggest thing was being on the same page with my catcher. So that was good."
Buster Posey, who started that game behind the plate, will do so again Friday, manager Bruce Bochy said. Hector Sanchez was behind the plate for Lincecum's first three outings.
"I always say this: Anytime a pitcher throws well, the catcher certainly deserves credit," Bochy said. "I thought they got in sync and into a good rhythm. To add to that, though, I said this, he's real close. He's had the one-inning hiccups in his previous games, but when you take that one inning away, he's been throwing well. I will say, as far as his command and tempo, it was really good his last start, and that's what we'd like to see Friday. I think Buster was a part of that, the fact that he was in sync throwing that game."
The Giants swept that three-game series from the Padres, then beat the D-backs on Monday, but since have lost two straight. They will start a six-game road trip against a Padres club that had lost five straight entering Wednesday.
San Diego will go with Andrew Cashner (0-1, 4.05), who made his first start of the year when he faced Lincecum last Saturday after Clayton Richard fell ill. He should be able to throw about 80 pitches after getting to 65 in four solid innings last time, and figures to be a part of the Padres' rotation going forward.
"I saw a crisp fastball, he was efficient overall, a lot of positive signs," manager Bud Black said on Saturday. "He did a good job on short notice. He didn't do anything to not make us think about [giving him another start]. But long range, we see Andrew as a starter."
Giants: Padres a friendly foe for Lincecum
Lincecum is 11-5 with a 2.33 ERA in his career against the Padres and confirmed he feels good with the matchup. But more important is the fact that he feels comfortable on the mound early this season.
"I mean, I never try to feed strictly off past success off them. I just use that as some more knowledge to have," he said. "It's usually based off how I'm feeling at that time, and right now I feel like I'm starting to gain my rhythm and my tempo better. Things are just coming out better."
• Shortstop Brandon Crawford and right fielder Hunter Pence are the only Giants to have started every game this season. Crawford went 3-for-4 with a go-ahead solo home run in the ninth inning Wednesday, his fourth of the season. That matches the total he accrued in 143 games last year.
Padres: Erlin added to bullpen
Needing a fresh reliever on Wednesday, San Diego brought left-hander Robbie Erlin up from Triple-A Tucson. The 22-year-old is the Padres' No. 9 prospect according to MLB.com and has struck out more than a batter per inning over five Minor League seasons.
Over three starts in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League this season, Erlin was 2-0 with a 4.72 ERA.
• The Padres are one of three teams, along with the Twins and Dodgers, to finish Wednesday without a player having more than two home runs.
Worth noting
• Padres third baseman Chase Headley has hit three home runs and is slugging .579 against Lincecum in 43 plate appearances.
• The Padres are 2-7 at home this season, having lost seven in a row before defeating the Brewers on Wednesday.

Breathe, And, here we go. UCA won the Mona Gerome Sportsmanship Award for 2012. North Country's Boys basketball team lost on Thursday and Saturday. North Country's Girls Basketball team won on Friday, and the game will be available for replay on nsnsports.net soon. Lake Region's Girls basketball team got their Pink On! North Country's Nordic team held their night relays in Craftsbury, again. Thanks Snow. Hockey Night in Jay continues to be the hottest ticket in town, and why not? If you build it, they will come, oh yes, they will come. And they did.
JAY–It has been four years coming, and it was worth the wait, as the North Country boy's hockey team finally defeated the BFA Bobwhites by a 3-2 margin on Wednesday night at the Ice Haus Arena. "I was very happy for the guys to come away with the victory, especially with all of the stories that they have heard about BFA," said NCU coach Andrew Roy. "It was a good game of hockey, we limited their scoring opportunities, had a few of our own and won the game." Chris Bronson stopped 17 shots as North Country improves to 11-4-1. The two Bobwhite goalies combined to stop 16 for 6-8-2 BFA.
NEWPORT–In the second game of a back-to-back, the North Country girls fell to second-seeded Rice Memorial on Tuesday night at the Falcon Gymnasium. Said NCU coach Christiane Brown on playing two nights in a row, "It was not tough for us because we were the underdogs. If we had been the favorites in the game, then it might be a different story." Friday night will wrap up a busy week for the 5-10 Falcons, as they welcome in 3-12 St. Johnsbury.
JAY-North Country out-shot U-32 38-9, but had to rely on some last second magic by Whitney Bernier to come away with 3-2 win. "We worked really hard, and got it done," said Emilie Paul, the team's leader in on-ice minutes. Mikaella Doran had seven saves for the 13-3-1 Falcons while Cheyenne Smith stopped thirty-five for 2-12 U-32. The girls have a week off before their next contest, a 5:00 rematch on Saturday with Brattleboro, who upset the Falcons 2-1 last month. For the full story, check out Monday's Express on 2-11-13.
JAY-Essex coach Bill O'Neil has seen a lot of things in his forty-plus year career as a coach, so while it was not a surprise when his Hornets overcame a two goal third period deficit to defeat North Country 3-2, it was pretty touch and go for his charges on Saturday night. "I thought they gave us a hard time for two and three-quarter periods and we just got the bounces," said O'Neil. "The league is like that this year. Anybody can beat anybody on any given night, and we knew coming in that it was going to be a battle."
NEWPORT–A strong inside presence and the ability to force turn-overs helped the Burlington Seahorses take down the North Country Falcons on Thursday night. Despite the loss, NCU coach Brian Bonvechio saw some really positive things from his players. "I am really happy with the intensity were are playing with on defense. We are really hustling, and I saw some great minutes from Jesse Breault and Chris LePage.
SO. BURLINGTON– The Falcons rallied to make it 5-4 with three minutes to go in the third period, but the Rebels were able to add an insurance goal with 2:20 left to play sealing the 6-4 win in the highly anticipated rematch between South Burlington and North Country on Wednesday night. "It was a hard fought come from behind loss," said NCU coach Andrew Roy. The Falcons were playing without defenseman Logan Fortier, who is on a school trip. Thankfully Brody Jacobs has returned to the line-up, allowing a three man rotation, something NCU is more than used to.
North Country's boys hockey team got to within one with 3 minutes left in the third period, but the Rebels were able to add the insurance goal 40 seconds later to thwart NCU's effort at a comeback as the Falcons fell short in their rematch 6-4. Details in Friday's Express on 2-8-13.
NCU got goals from Jenna Moss and Emily Doty in their win over Stowe. The win moves the team to 12-3-1 while Stowe falls 4-9. Next up for the Falcons is a visit from U-32 on Saturday at 5:00 in Jay.
NEWPORT–The North Country girl's basketball team trailed by just two points at the half to the Essex Hornets, but the visitors were able to pull away in the third quarter to defeat the Falcons 53-34 on Tuesday evening. "I think we want to leave remembering how we played in that first half," said NCU coach Christiane Brown. "We came out playing very strong, we were disciplined, but we still need to work on getting back defensively to limit those easy buckets." Even with limited minutes in the second half, Desiree Coffin still led 4-8 North Country in scoring with 12 points.

What is the return policy on this item? I see it says Final Sale Exclusion but didn't know if that's just a general message.
Do not put too many heavy objects, like books, on the bottom shelves. They tend to droop down no matter how much you tighten the screws. The shelves really just hold a few decorative pieces but nothing more.

Perfect bookshelf, takes up very little room This bookcase was pretty simple to put together (~15 mins for a handyman watching TV simultaneously) and looks great. Excellent color - matches the picture very well. The wood has a nice, solid, "real" feel to it. And the unit itself is very sturdy when up against the wall. Things to note: At the top of the unit (where the two legs lean against the wall) you are supposed to attach two white nylon ribbons - the purpose is to attach one end to a leg, and then the other to the wall. This is a smart idea, but only necessary if you have small children who might pull/climb on the unit. When leaning against the all, particularly with the shelves full, the unit is solid and sturdy. The shelves get progressively "shallower" as you move up the unit - the shelf at the top is only about half as deep as the shelf at the bottom. Keep that in mind as you consider what will go on this. Putting books on the bottom (too deep) or top (too shallow) shelves won't look right - the bottom will have too much wood shown between the edge of the shelf and the books, and using the top shelf will result in books sticking out over the edge. So long as you have the ability to stock the shelves with a variety of items, I'm sure it will fit into your room just as well as it fits in mine...for reference, my shelves contain (starting at the bottom): 1. Wireless printer 2. Excess DVDs and travel keepsakes 3. Books 4. Books 5. Pictures

Not well made, Not same color I bought these, because of the style I was looking for. When they came, they were a bit battered. Like they were tossed around. A bit of a furniture pen will fix the scratches, not enough to return them. However, one shelf, the lip was completely off, like it had been attached 3 inches off from where it was supposed to be. My father in law, actually took it apart, and wood glued it and set it with a clamp. A lot more work than I was looking for. Though the rest of the assembly was easy.Also, it says "Walnut" which would match the other pieces of furniture in my living room. These shelves look cherry next to the other pieces. They are a lot more red than the picture indicates.

A nice solution to little items around the room I bought this piece to tidy up my room, and it served its purpose great collecting the few picture frames I have and the mail holder. The shelves increase in width as you go lower so the bottom shelf is actually pretty spacious. It took me a while to assemble it myself though, since I tried to do everything on my own (the manual says you need two people). Pros: nice looking, practical, light weight. Cons: it is divided into two main pieces that you put on top of each other, and the part where the two pieces connect is kind of obvious. Also, when you put it on the wall, the two arms can leave marks on your wall where the shelves lean. Overall a very good purchase, and I am happy with it.

Shoddy construction, miserable assembly I actually enjoy some assembly projects, but when I opened up the package and saw the small container of glue, my heart sank. The shelf is poorly designed, and the instructions are incomplete and confusing, so assembly was a nightmare. The materials are poor quality - the shelves themselves are soft plywood covered in some material to make them look like walnut, and the so-called "phillips screws" got stripped within 30 seconds of trying to screw them in. A lot of the dowels and screws did not fit correctly. About four hours later I finally got the shelf assembled, and it's shaky though I tightened all the screws. I am not sure what we can put on the shelf without it falling over. I really do not recommend purchasing this. We bought two and I'm considering returning the second one.

Could this be used in a corner? As opposed to a stright wall?
Hello maryt, yes you could use this in a corner. It would not be as stable though. Have a great day!
Is there a weight capacity for this unit?
Apparently so...my ladder collapsed!!
Where can I find the white shelves?
Hello alexmarino7, We have a similar item in white. Please see item 13089889. I hope this helps, thanks for shopping with us.
What is the distance between each shelves?
the top shelf to second is 13", second to third is 14" this is where the top and bottom come together, the last two are also 13".
How long would it take to post this to the UK?
Hi hazey1, for standard shiopping it could arrive within 7-12 business days. For express shipping it could reach there in 5-9 business days. For more information please review the shipping tab for more information. Thanks for shopping with us.
will this support a PC ?
NO...a vase....three books evenly spaced
Unless its a small laptop that you are going to put on the very bottom shelf.... I wouldnt use this to hold a PC. Mine has books, candles, picture frames, but I wouldnt risk balance to have it hold a PC.
I doubt it would support a PC. I was disappointed because I thought it was a stand alone, and it has to be supported by the wall. I have knick knacks and pictures on mine. Wouldn't buy again.
Each side piece of wood are actually made of two pieces and just held together by a small wood dowel. It will not hold anything too heavy on top for sure. I at least a dozen books on the second to the bottom shelf and it does fine. I dont think I would put a pc there, it is more for decorative purpose definitely not for heavier use as it would get with a pc even if it holds with the pc on the bottom shelf.
I agree with the other answers. It is great for books and accessories. A CPU could be placed on the bottom shelf if it lays flat.
Probably the only shelf that could support PC would be the bottom one - which likely makes no sense - as the others say - more for some books - I have my old school stereo system on it.
no way !!
It will not hold a PC
No - it is nice looking as a display for frames, light knick knacks but not for anything of weight...
I wouldn't suggest it. These shelves are not made to hold more than 2 pounds..
What are the dimensions of the boxes that this product is shipped in?
Hi stodola1, thank you for your inquiry. The dimensions are Height: 49 Width: 17 Length: 5. Thanks for shopping with us.
How high is the top shelf off the floor? I have a wall thermostat at 56"-59" off the floor and would like to fit it between the shelves.
Hi esparks02, thank you for your inquiry. The distance from the floor to the first (top) shelf on this item is about 60-1/4 inches.
I measured the one I have. The bottom of the top shelf is exactly 58.1 inchs from the floor so it would hit the top of your thermostat by almost an inch.
Can this be put in a bathroom? Is it protected against moisture?
The wood is sealed, so I think it would be fine in a steamy, but not wet, location.
No, I would not recommend it. no , not recommended.
If this is a large bath, it might do well, but I too would not recommend
It may not be specially treated for moisture, but I put this in a bathroom and it works great. Better width than some and a handy unit for displaying items or practical storage.
The Walnut tearbookcase item number11977035 Doyhey have itt in black, Thanks KATHY
Yes i attached the link below for the black one. Please let me know if you have any further question. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Five-tier-Antique-Black-Ladder-Shelf/2041992/product.html
where is this bookcase made Indonesia or China
Thanks for your interest, this bookcase is made in China.
What is the dimension from the bottom of the lowest shelf to the floor? I need to clear a baseboard heater.
About 5.25 inches
Are these sturdy enough to use as bookshelves, or mainly for decor?
Yes they are.
I would not put heavy books on it. Maybe a few hardbacks on each one, but not all the way across.
I agree with katinfl - not for books all the way across. I did small vertical stacks (3-4 paperbacks, or two hardbacks) of books on each shelf instead. Otherwise, I'd want to anchor the shelf to the wall...which is a custom job you'd have to do on your own since it comes with no anchoring system.
what is the shipping weight of this item?
At the time of shipping the item weighs 31 pounds.
What is the depth of each of the five shelves?
Dimensions of each shelf: Shelf A 23.5x6.5 in. Shelf B 23.5x8.5 in. Shelf C 23.5x11.5 in. Shelf D 23.5x13.5 in. Shelf E 23.5x16 in.

How to Organize a Ladder Shelf
A ladder shelf is an innovative design that allows you to display decorative accessories and knickknacks in a sleek and modern fashion. Many shelves feature five tiers, with the shelves consistently getting larger toward the bottom. Use a ladder bookshelf to display accent pieces or decor in any room of the house. Look below to learn how to organize a ladder shelf.
Bookshelves Buying Guide
Despite the name, bookshelves are about more than just shelving books. Bookshelves make versatile solutions as free-standing dry food pantries, open dressers or displays dedicated to your knick-knacks and tchochkes. They quickly convert into china cabinets, media organizers or shoe storage. Whatever the case, the right bookcase goes miles toward making your home into the haven it should be.
How to Organize Your DVDs
Many people love to collect favorite movies, programs and television shows on DVDs, whether it's a collection of classics, documentaries, children's movies or everything in between. Most people cherish their collection of DVDs, but you might not know it from the messy pile those DVDs make when shoved into a box or crammed haphazardly onto a shelf. If you've ever spent almost as much time searching for a movie as you have watching it, then it's probably time for you to organize your DVDs. Some attractive media bookshelves can be a great place to start.
Best Things to Display on a Ladder Bookshelf
If you're in the market for a ladder bookshelf, then you are probably familiar with the functional style it can introduce to your home. A ladder bookshelf isn't just a perfect way to organize your odds and ends; it is a modern, chic piece of contemporary furniture you can use in just about every room in your home. Once you have some sleek ladder bookshelves, you'll need some stuff to display. Before you start stacking just any old thing you have lying around, here are some great ideas on how to best utilize your ladder bookshelves.
Best Bookshelf Materials
It's not unusual for bookshelves to incorporate multiple materials for different features. If you haven't decided on wood, wood products, metal or glass bookshelves, look at their relative strengths and weaknesses. Look below to learn the best bookshelf materials. Wood: "Solid wood" is a common term for furniture made from lumber planks. Beware of making assumptions based on labels like "hardwood" and "softwood." Hardwoods are derived from deciduous trees and softwoods from coniferous trees; the terms don't connote their relative strengths. Balsa is a hardwood even though it is very soft, just as Douglas fir is a softwood even though it is very hard. They all make excellent, classic stock material for bookcases. Generally, harder woods are the heavier and more resistant to scratches. Still, softer woods, if treated correctly, will keep just as well as harder woods. Plywood: Made by stacking thin sheets -- "plies" -- of lumber and gluing them under pressure, plywood features grains that alternate direction for strength. Several grades are available, of differing cost. Top and bottom plies can be high-quality woods to create the appearance of fine woods, but edge veneer or molding is needed to complete the illusion. Particleboard: Wood chips glued together carry a much lower price tag than solid wood, and particleboard is denser and more uniform. It's a great choice when cost is the primary consideration. Bookshelves crafted from veneered composite boards can look and feel as good as real wood. MDF: Wood fibers, tiny chips and sawdust collected and glued into sheets form medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Low-cost MDF makes an excellent base for veneers; plus, its strength is consistent and it shapes well. Metal: There's a reason most library bookshelves are made from metal: Metal bookcases are resistant to moisture and fungus, their low-friction shelves are easier on books' bindings and metal's strength-to-weight ratio can't be beat. Their cost usually comes in below any other material. Glass: Glass bookshelves weigh more than other types, but if you plan on assembling your bookshelves only once, the style points can be well worth it. Tempered glass shelves (in wood or metal uprights, called "standards") give your home an unbeatable contemporary feel, and glass bookcases' smooth, transparent surfaces add brilliant levity to a decorating piece that might otherwise be notably opaque and heavy.

Bookshelf Essentials
Whether you want a place to store books or simply display collectibles, bookshelves are the perfect solution. A bookshelf is a versatile type of furniture that goes with any room or decorating style.

TV Stand Buying Guide
As televisions get thinner, the furniture they sit on can get leaner, too. TV stands are often all you need to hold your flat-panel TV and media essentials.

Quincy going crazy for quilts
Carolyn Kenney is co-vice president of Quincy Crazy Quilters, a quilting instructor at Feather River College and an Eleanor Burns Quilt in a Day certified instructor. She is also the featured quilter for the guild's biennial quilt show, Crazy About Quilts.
Crazy About Quilts runs May 21 – 22, at the Plumas-Sierra County Fairgrounds in Quincy.
Kenney began hand piecing and quilting about 13 years ago. Although she does a lot of machine piecing and quilting now, she still completes a hand quilt every two years. She finds machine piecing allows for techniques that hand piecing cannot match. She still enjoys the process of creating something completely hers, start-to-finish, by hand.
It seems as if every month, she has two or three quilting projects to share with fellow guild members.
In addition to Kenney's quilts, quilters have entered 140 quilts of all sizes and shapes in the show. Entry categories include large and small bed quilts, home decor, miniature quilts, quilted clothing and more.
The show also includes the 2010 Hoffman Challenge quilts and dolls. Each year fabric manufacturer Hoffman California-International Fabrics selects a new fabric and quilters submit their entries using the fabric line.
While there are cash prizes awarded, the prestige of placing in the challenge is a great honor, as collections travel to quilt shows around the United States and Canada.
This year, the guild's show also coincides with Plumas County's inaugural barn quilt tour. Kenney was also the force behind the barn quilt program.
With the assistance of Mary Weddle, the county's 4-H clubs, arts community and business leaders, barn quilt squares are going up on historical barns in American and Sierra valleys. See the related story elsewhere on this page.
Maps are available free at the show and from Plumas County Visitors Bureau and the Quincy Chamber of Commerce.
For more information about the show, email email@example.com.

Every day huge, invisible flows of natural capital assist global and local economies to turn, but remain unrecognized, unmonitored and unregulated. PwC Indonesia's Moray McLeish says government and the private sector have a responsibility to place a tangible value on natural capital in order to prevent mismanagement, abuse, and misappropriation, leading to the degradation of ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity.
