Syracuse head basketball coach Jim Boeheim has launched an astonishing assault against ESPN college basketball reporter Andy Katz Wednesday night. At Boeheim's press conference after the #6 Orange were upset by Connecticut, Katz asked the coach a question about the Syracuse-UConn series and Boeheim responded by saying he wasn't going to answer it. He also included these choice words about Katz recorded by WAER: "I'll answer anyone's question but yours because you're an idiot and really a disloyal person. And a few other things I can add, but I'm not gonna go there." Let me pick up mouth on the floor! That's an attack you will rarely ever see from a coach to a well-known national reporter... and seemingly out of the blue as well. Although Boeheim may still hold a grudge against ESPN and Katz for reporting that goes all the way back to the Bernie Fine case, it's more likely Katz's recent reporting on ineligible Orange player James Southerland is the crux of the issue. Katz shared specifics about Southerland's academic eligibility during Wednesday night's game. Larry Brown Sports notes Fox's Peter Schrager says that's why Boeheim called Katz "disloyal"... I'm told by "in the know" sources that Katz irked Boeheim by sharing info JB believed was off the record on the air re: James Southerland. — P. Schrager (@PSchrags) February 14, 2013 Katz had this response in the press room according to WAER: .@espnandykatz response to the press room crowd: last time I checked I wasn't getting paid by Syracuse U — WAER Sports (@WAERSports) February 14, 2013 This controversy is a bit trickier of a situation than initially meets the eye. If Katz was told that information about Southerland confidentially by Boeheim, you can understand why the coach would be upset. That said, Katz's checks are written by ESPN, not Syracuse, and certainly not Boeheim. To launch such an outlandish personal attack on Katz from his bully pulpit isn't a good look for the Syracuse coach, and it's far from the first time Boeheim has overstepped with little class in this manner. College coaches have enough of a problem with insane, egotistical power trips as it is without trying to intimidate and bully members of the media. It's a complex situation and one likely involving Katz's sources, which means we'll probably never know the full story. However, at the end of the day Andy Katz's loyalty lies with his reporting and ESPN. Not Jim Boeheim.
so he takes a shot at a scribbler/mumbler...so fekkin what...those under the lights catch the rocks all the time, what's so holy about the media they can't take a salvo now and then, look who's crying for him, other scribblers,,,grow up
The Press deserves what they get from BOOHIME because he is not able to sit down without having the Press's liplock on his butt. Last month he was interviewed and quoted by the Press for his thoughts and opinion on gun control. When BOOHIME's own Sandusky story surfaced; The Press did nothing compared to the efforts you put forth to unveil the truth. Stop whining and become real reporters instead of a bunch of spineless liplocks with no balls!
where are the comments
As a reporter you better have some ethics or these coaches will kick you to the curb. If it was off the record Katz should have kept his piehole shut. That is burning bridges my friend but than again I feel most reporters are bottom feeders.
Love JB All he does is get the most out of his players.
Who is Andy Katz???
YES! The press is a joke and Katz especially,
Go get him Jim,reporters and newscasters are just talking heads with no real skills. It's time to give it back to them. Don't be afraid to go after them.You have worked your butt off and accomplished great things.Thanks.
I love how you are all ripping repoters but look where you are. Right here reading what they report. You are a bunch of hypocrites. If you dont like thier reporting dont read the news, stay off the websites and shut the hell up.
Only a REPORTER would say that...TROLL!!!!!!
you shut the hell up andy
I love coach when he protects his student athletes. The media tried to attack Derrick Coleman as well and coach defended him like he was his own child. The media have to remember that these are children and a lot of them come from stressed backgrounds and is thrown in the Lions Den (media/publics eye) at a very young age and the public (consumers) expect these children to perform socially like seasoned adults. It takes a while to make the adjustment if the adjustment is made at all. The public & media is the crux to all of our athletes that we enjoy because we creat the monsters they become. Enjoy the damn sport and leave their personal life out of it. Katz is an idiot. I met Sutherland and this is one of the nicest kids you would ever want to meet. These kids showed me a lot of respect , both basketball and football and we need to cut them some slack.
JB is a Blowhard !!! He shows it everytime he opens his big mouth !! Every year he has kids get into eligebility problems with their grades So He is not on top of That Part of there College expeience..Lets Be honest these guys aren't taking Pre Med !! He should b3e in constant contact with professors if His Players! And if they are having problems and remedy it with extra help..They go to college to get a degree not jusp play basketball and try to make JB look Good !!
So, you must think SU os the only school to have this issue?? JB is only the 2nd best college hoops coach of ALL TIME!!! You should keep your SEXUAL preferences to yourself!!!!!!
eligebility problems
That Part of there College expeience
Lets Be honest
with professors if His Players
not jusp play basketball
Maybe you should have been on top of YOUR college "expeience." Is this even English?
Come on Andy ur the blowhard always wanting to start some controversy so you can have something to write.
The author of this article must not remember 2006, when Coach JB ripped an opposing assistant coach a new one in postgame conference (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn3kPBww2w0&playnext=1&list=PLB121D0F72D868BA7&feature=results_video, if the link doesn't work just search on "Jim Boeheim uncensored," and turn down the sound or use earbuds if you're in the office, because it's NSFW). Coach JB has won over 900 games, has the ring and the cut-down net, is in the Hall of Fame, earns millions with much less talent than Coach K, Coach Cal or any of a number of his colleagues, has a beautiful wife, beautiful children, and, at age 68, doesn't really give a **** about what anyone else thinks.
The PRESS will always back the PRESS, even when they are wrong. The PRESS ran out Bernie FIne and never reported on their failings. Katz took off the record info and put it on air, all in the name of his paycheck. He has no journalistic credibility. I would never give this guy the time of day if I were a coach or player. In fact,I'd never talk to any of them,
Katz, I believe, is an SU graduate and I'm sure has used that to get inside information. He has not been a friend of SU since he has been at ESPN. I'm not sure why any coach feels the need to give anythng to these media divas.
The cheater is taking the heat and striking out at the reporter. How many "student" athletes does he have in his program.
I don't know why people keep giving info to reporters and expect it to not get reported. Knowledge is power and reporters are just gossip mongers on a power trip.
"Off the record" means just that. If Katz reports something he was told in confidence, he broke a trust that he probably won't get back. I don't care who writes his check, he can't be trusted.
Who the hell wrote this story? This is some pimply face noob blogger sucking up to Katz.
Come on! When did this country believe that the media is anything but a fringe benefit to sports regardless of how much money they pour into the system? It's getting old that the media believe they are above or privledged compared to the game, coaches, schools, owners, and players. They are reporters, not children who deserve to be handled like babies. Reporting should be a career of hard knocks. Only a very view, if any, should have equal rights to those directly involved. No doubt coaches, especially after losing,even Boeheim whose been around forever, get edgy now and again and say the wrong thing at the wrong time. But I guarentee poor little Andy Katz said something he should never have. Reporter for elite ESPN or not, they should treat players and coaches with respect... ALWAYS.
Totally unprofessiional.
"College coaches have enough of a problem with insane, egotistical power trips as it is without trying to intimidate and bully members of the media like Jim Boeheim." This pretty much sums it up. There is a good percentage of coaches who are normal, steady individuals. Then there is a certain segment whose "authority" and salary give them a megalomaniac personality. Boeheim is one of those who feels his words should not be be questioned. I bet anything he apologizes to Katz before the day is over.
When I see Jim Boeheim on TV he should have a diaper on and a bottle in his mouth. He is always crying to the Ref about everthing. When is he going to retire!!!!!
What a cry baby! Get it over pal, talk happens in sports and it's not alway's what you want to hear. If you can't handle the talk then you need to get out of sports. Maybe you would be better suited for a childs basketball team.
fox and espn SUCKS! give'm hell boeheim.
Sports news has become "tabloid" crap - Siccum Coach
Most sports reporters are full of themselves, if they knew half of what they want the listener/viewer to think they know, wouldn't they be somewhere actually coaching instead of trying to sensationalize somthing about a coach, player or team seemingly for his own agrandizement !
I'm an SU fan. I think Boeheim's great. I watched the game and heard Katz's comments about Southerland.
This may be a misunderstanding. JB was apparently told about Katz mentioning what he learned about the suspension and was understandably steamed at an apparent breach of confidence on a sensitive subject. But when JB has time to sit down and listen to what Katz actually said, he may change his mind in light of two things. First, Katz reported a conversation he had directly w/ Southerland, not some off-the-record backgrounder from SU staff. Second, the gist of the story was that Southerland was totally innocent and now cleared of the suspected wrongdoing. Katz didn't say anything that made either SU or Southerland look bad; the blame was directed toward an overly paranoid NCAA. I doubt that JB would disagree. -
take any sports figure in the limelight,,,he's going to face a barrage of questions and as reporters work to get the skinny, they may tick a guy off,,,the coach or player goes back to the game,,,the reporter,,,he just reloads,,,all in a days work,,,you gotta take it when you're out to give it.
I heard Andy Katz on Mike and Mike this morning and he sounded like your typical media weasel. In other words, its really all about him and he will do anything to attract attention. If he can get that attention by violating JB's trust on the Southerland issue, so be it. Not a Syracuse fan but I will never take the side of a media tool over someone who is in the arena.

Kate posted a poem a while back that, she said, bonked her on the head. Robinson Jeffers, nature poet of the Central Coast in California, wrote this one that never fails to make me gasp. As the snows linger on in Minnesota, it also makes me a little homesick for the grandeur of the Pacific.

Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy have given us two of the most compelling characters on television and the entire cast is incredible. I'm delighted to have this thrill ride continue for another season,"

Now the military must defeat Jaguar's bandits and survive the fearsome insect onslaught as they venture inside the Dragon Wasps' hive.
Trailer for Shadow People. Coming to DVD/Blu-ray March 18. They are known by many names in many cultures. In Persia they are called "Bakhtak." In Japan, they are the "Kanashibari." In Mexico they're called the "Subirse el Muerto" and the "Suk Ninmyo" in New Guinea. In America, they are known as "Shadow People." They are very real, yet no one who has seen them have lived to describe them. Are you willing to believe? Victims report waking from sleep to find themselves paralyzed, a noise buzzing in their head, while a shadowy figure stands watches them, or sometimes even climbs onto their bed. The sightings are widespread around the globe for centuries, but many are afraid to talk about their encounters. According to experts, these appearances may be tied to a medical mystery of unexplained nocturnal deaths.
Shadow People is based on a true story about small town radio personality Charlie Crowe (Dallas Roberts) who unravels a conspiracy about encounters with mysterious beings. These "Shadow People" were the cause of hundreds of unexplained deaths. He encounters CDC Epidemic Intelligence Agent Sophie Lancombe (Alison Eastwood), whose investigations entwine her with Charlie's own discoveries leading them both into a dark world and a decades old cover-up.
Batman: Night of the Owls Hardcover (DC Comics)
Grade: A-
Night of the Owls is a follow up to the Court of Owls storyline and collects 14 single issues from 12 different titles, basically crossing through all of the various Batman and Batman related titles along with All-Star Western. Following the events in Court of Owls, that shadowy group decides to unleash all of its Talons, it's deadly assassins whom they keep in a kind of suspended animation sleep.
The beginning actually takes place in the 1800s as Jonah Hex and his companions battle the forces of the Court of Owls before cutting to the present. This helps serve to setup the fact that the Court has been operating in Gotham for well over a century. In the present, Batman notifies the Batman Family about the threat of the Talons so we get individual tales of Batman allies Batwing, Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, and the Birds of Prey in their fights against the Talon.
Undoubtedly the highlight of the book is "The Attack on Wayne Manor" which took place in the pages of Batman # 8 & 9. Bruce Wayne and Alfred find themselves trapped in Wayne Manor as a legion of Talons attack. And I do mean Bruce Wayne and not Batman as he was taken completely unaware as the Talons even infiltrate the Batcave, discovering Wayne's secret. Batman unleashes a suit of Armor that might make Tony Stark jealous. Alfred discovers the Talons have targeted just about every important public figure in the city and sends out the call to the family for assistance in taking down the assassins.
Besides the Batman story the other plot of special note is the two-part Nightwing story since it's discovered Dick Grayson's lineage is tied in to the Court and the Talons. While the book was produced by numerous writers and artists, there is a strong consistency throughout. Great job by the editorial staff to pull this sprawling story all together. I still tend to hate these mass crossover stories that force you to buy titles that you ordinarily would not but this was an exciting and thrilling story.
The Factory DVD Review (Warner Bros.)
Grade: B
John Cusack and Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter) play Buffalo Police detectives who have been investigating a string missing prostitutes. Mike Fletcher (Cusack) believes they are dealing with a serial killer but none of the bodies have ever been found. However after several years of no new leads the investigation has grown cold and is about to be shut down. That is until another young girl disappears to make the investigation personal for Fletcher when his own teenage daughter Abby comes up missing.
As Mike and Kelsey Walker (Carpenter) desperately chase down every lead possible, Abby finds herself trapped with several other young women in the basement dungeon of a psychopath named Gary who turns his captives into his own cult-like family. He forces them to have sex with him so they can give him children, keeping them drugged and brainwashed into calling him "Daddy".
Gary is played by Dallas Roberts who most people know from The Walking Dead as the scientist Milton Mamet who works with the Governor. Roberts' performance is sneaky effective, hitting just the right notes of Manson-like craziness yet still maintaining enough poise to keep his cover as a food service worker in a nearby hospital. Cusack is normally known for lighter roles but does a nice job here as a cop who is obsessed with finding the psychopath even before his daughter went missing. Carpenter plays a toned down, less bombastic version of her character of Debra Morgan from Dexter. Only Mae Whitman as Abby seems to be in a little over her head although she's a veteran young actress who has been around for nearly 20 years.
The Factory was shot in 2011 but never received a theatrical release. Probably a good thing; It's a fine film but definitely more of a direct-to-video film than worthy of a theatrical release.
Mimesis Blu-Ray review (Anchor Bay)
Grade C+
Mimesis is an interesting little take on the zombie film that manages to rise above its low budget roots, even if just barely. Two buddies, Russell and Duane are attending a horror convention when they and several other fans are given an invitation to an exclusive after show party at a secluded farmhouse. Duane is all in while Russell whines about having to work but ultimately goes along for the ride. The drinks flow and the two friends, along with five other fans pass out, apparently drugged. When they awake they find they are dressed as characters from the original Night of the Living Dead film. And not only that, but they are being stalked by zombies who quickly take a bite out of Russell when he and Karen wake up in a cemetery in a recreation of the opening scene of the George Romero classic.
Each of the fans shares the first name of the actor who played the role in the film. Duane ends up playing the role of Ben which was played by Duane Jones. Karl is dressed as uptight father Harry (played by Karl Hardman) and so forth. Even the old rundown farmhouse seems to have been recreated. Keith is the horror film expert and tries to figures out their next move as it related to the film and constantly reminds the rest that none of the characters survived in the film. He warns Harry about trying to escape via an old pickup truck noting how the truck exploded in the film.
When Harry ignores Keith the truck indeed explodes but because it was booby-trapped with a bomb. The group quickly realizes that they are part of a deadly game setup by a group of psychotic horror fans who want a more realistic experience and have lured the unsuspecting convention goers into a real life horror film where the death is all-too real.
Mimesis has a fun premise and it's a refreshing change on the usual zombie film but the film runs out of gas about two-thirds of the way through. Once the "zombies" start talking and revealing their plans we realize that these guys are far too stupid to have pulled off this ruse and the film limps to the finish. Still, there have been many far worse zombie films that weren't nearly as ambitious. Sid Haig has a bit role as a guest speaker at the convention. Bill Hinzman, who played the cemetery zombie in the original 1968 Night of the Living Dead has a cameo as a cop in his final screen role. Hinzman passed away in 2012.

text: Pope gives final Sunday blessing before resigning Share this story email Share this story «Previous 21 of 34 Photos Next » Read the story « » Vatican Pope Pope Benedict XVI's personal secretary Archbishop Georg Gaenswein places the drape bearing the pope's symbol on the window before Benedict XVI delivers his last Angelus prayer, in St. Peter's Square, at the Vatican, Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013. Benedict XVI gave his pontificate's final Sunday blessing from his studio window to the cheers of tens of thousands of people packing St. Peter's Square, but sought to reassure the faithful that he wasn't abandoning the church by retiring to spend his final years in prayer. The 85-year-old Benedict is stepping down on Thursday evening, the first pope to do so in 600 years, after saying he no longer has the mental or physical strength to vigorously lead the world's 1.2 billion Catholics.

Annika Sorenstam during the Swinging Skirts 2012 World Ladies Masters on Dec. 6. / Wally Santana AP
One of Annika Sorenstam's bread-and-butter shots during a brilliant World Golf Hall of Fame career was the cut shot. Be it with driver or 5-iron or wedge, Sorenstam could cut the golf ball and make it fade into her targets as well as anyone, a huge reason she won 72 LPGA tour events including 10 majors.
Unfortunately, she doesn't cut a chicken as well.
On Tuesday, Sorenstam sent out a photo to her fans on Twitter of the injury she sustained Jan. 3 while cooking dinner for her family and friends in Lake Tahoe. While cutting chicken, her finger got in the way. Her husband, Mike McGee, said in a text to USA TODAY Sports that Sorenstam was rushed to an urgent care center where the wound was closed with five stitches.
Sorenstam went skiing the next day.
Sorenstam sent out the photo with a warning in case some followers would be squeamish. After about two hours of concerned followers asked how she was doing, Sorenstam responded with another tweet.
"Photo of my finger might be disgusting, but no worries healing nicely. Stitches out in a week :)"

ok... 2006 Olympic Short Program... he fell several times on jumps, IIRC. yes, it is almost 4 years ago, but still, it's not like he never falls (and those are the ones that stick out in my mind, I'm pretty sure he's fallen since )
and Evan said himself he didn't hit a rut at nationals in 06. He lost focus and had too much energy and threw himself off balance... he was FLYING into that footwork and really selling it when he went down.
Evan's more recent problem has been UR calls, not falls, but of course URs can be a lot more painful than falls these days. He will definitely benefit from the judges having more discretion about GOEs on UR jumps; he had URs at both his GPs, at Nats and at the WTT.
As for landing quads several times, when Evan does them consistently, and rotates them consistently, then I'll be impressed. Right now he can be exciting to watch, but the jump content he has is not the best (by this I'm also referring to the jump technique).
I wasn't aware he was getting dinged for URs. Is it in the Protocols or is it from your TV viewing? Not saying you are wrong if you caught the URs and the judges didn't, it kind of makes me wonder. if however, the judges did catch his URs, his minus GoEs didn't keep him from winning gold in LA and Tokyo.
you weren't aware of his UR? It was one of the hot topics on the board this past season! Where were you???
As Toni said, it's in the protocols. A UR has to extremely noticeable for me to see it, and also it has to be broadcast by Eurosport at a reasonable hour, which Evan's events were not . You must have noticed the one event I did not list under "Evan got a UR" in my previous post... As for the WTT, just some semantics: he didn't win gold at the WTT, team USA won gold. Evan was first in the men's event. I believe the judges were very lenient with him there, he didn't take much of a GOE hit for his two called URs and the "!" (on the flip, I think?) in the LP.
IIRC, Evan also had some falls in the 2007-8 season, but as I said his main issue this past season has been the crackdown on URs and jump technique.
sorry but I m curious enough,what UR means?i suspent it means underrotation since you speak about evan, but i had to ask!?
yeah, I even didnt need a crystal ball.
I dont know about rest jumps, I have not noticed anything, just his 3axel is not a 3axel from any angle I see it
Good post and I got some info. You do not really believe that one UR can cause a loss of a championship when so many other factors are present. Chan and Joubert obviously did not have URs. No? and other factors? Just trying to find out how Evan won the Worlds. I respect your opinion that he didn't deserve it, although I do disagree with it. I was there in LA and not by the tube.
You do believe judges favor certain skaters? Yes? Anyone else, or just let's get Evan dumped on? I can't believe judges would single him out as special with Joubert there.
I don't think Oda was so great in LA, but if you find him challenging, let's wait till the COC.
Evan is not the best skater out there, imo, but his gold medals are deserved.

ST. LOUIS — Now that Drew Storen's big-league debut is out of the way, all eyes can shift to the other guy about to debut with the Nationals. (Who would have thought the spotlight would shift off Stephen Strasburg, if only for 24 hours?)
We've been outlining in detail the Strasburg Plan for some time now, but it is becoming clearer how this all is going to play out. Yesterday, MASN announced it will televise the right-hander's next two starts with Syracuse (tonight at Rochester, tape-delayed at 11:30 p.m., and May 23 against Toledo live at 5 p.m.).
So we know Strasburg is pitching at least twice more in the minors, and he won't get an extra day of rest between the two. The key will be when and where the next start after that takes place.
Syracuse has May 26 off but has a scheduled doubleheader the following day at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. If Strasburg stays on a five-day schedule, he would pitch May 28, also at S/W-B. But what if the organization wants to give him one last home start at Syracuse? By bumping him back one more day, he could start May 29, still against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre but now in Syracuse.
That would then line up Strasburg to make his Nationals debut June 4 against the Reds, and also set him up to make his second big-league start June 10 against the Pirates. Both games would be at Nationals Park.
The only other realistic possibility would have Strasburg staying on a strict, five-day schedule. If he does that, he'd pitch May 28 at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, then June 2 at Buffalo (both road starts). AllRead more »

Sigh. I'm as excited about SS as the next fan, but I'll also be one happy camper after he's made his debut, because then there'll be an end to all the breathless speculation about when it will take place.
- section129 - May 18, 2010 at 2:28 PM
Maybe we should work up a bar chart with likelihood of the debut on one axis and dates on the other, with a cutout of SS moving up and down the bars as the speculation shifts. I'd do it if I wasn't so busy juggling RCR requests and scouting StubHub options …
- Anonymous - May 18, 2010 at 2:35 PM
June 4th and June 8th games are both in the 20-game Plan D, which is Teddy's Plan. So when Strasburg debuts, can we expect Teddy to win?And boy am I glad I have Teddy's Plan!
- Anonymous - May 18, 2010 at 2:48 PM
"So we know Strasburg is pitching at least twice more in the minors…"Why? Because MASN says so? They have two more starts scheduled to air, but I seriously doubt they got Rizzo's assurance they were set in stone. Probably the case, but not with the certainty you suggest.
- Eric - May 18, 2010 at 2:49 PM
Looking more annd more like the 4th is the date, though i'm not buying tickets just yet. Better questions now are 1. Who goes to AAA or Pen to make room (I bet Atilano goes to the pen and Batista gets DFA'd) 2. When will we see the walking wounded start to return? (Detwiler in June, Wang in early July, Marquis in mid-July and Jordan Zimmerman in August/September?
- natsfan - May 18, 2010 at 2:55 PM
If Strasburg starts Sunday against the O's, he could then get a start in his hometown of San Diego next weekend. Just sayin'
- Anonymous - May 18, 2010 at 3:28 PM
natsfan…don't think thats happening, to soon, not June. He could pitch against the Pads when they visit here though. June 4th is the bet…wonder if Vegas is taking bets on the debut day? JTinSC
- Anonymous - May 18, 2010 at 3:33 PM
Probably won't happen Natsfan…to soon – not june. June 4th sounds like the date to me.
- Kenz aFan - May 18, 2010 at 3:35 PM
I would not at all be surprised if the Nats called up Strasburg to debut on the road. More specifically, in San Diego (his home town) on the 30th.Pitching him on that day would put him in line with a June 4th start to begin the home stand. It will also mean that he would have a maximum of 127 days of service time. After doing some research and learning that no player has ever been awarded Super-Two status after having been in the majors for less than 130 days (with only 3 having been given the status with 2 years 130 days service time), May 30th becomes a very real possibility.
- JayB - May 18, 2010 at 3:50 PM
Mark,Not sure the SS call up will matter this year unless they address OF soon. RF is a joke and Harris seems to be getting too old right before our eyes. He is of little use they way he is playing in the field and at bat.How long can Rizzo afford to keep up this facade that all is well in the OF?
- Anonymous - May 18, 2010 at 4:02 PM
-JayBIt looks like Bernadina will get most of the starts at RF. Harris only started yesterday because Morgan was given a day off. The RF is an issue, but I think it is fair to give Bernadina that shot. I would expect Rizzo to address it before the trade deadline or in the offseason if no one in the organization will earn it. I am curious to see what Bernadina can do, after being injured all last season. So far I am liking what I am seeing but the critical point for Bernadina is to see what happens after the hot streak.
- aspenbubba - May 18, 2010 at 4:02 PM
Eric,I think you are a month ahead. All those dates seem to be optimistic and probably do not include rehab assignments. Detwiler early July, Wang late July-early August. and Marquis end of August. JZim with some spot starts in September when SS is shut down. Obviuosly all of them are based on 100 % recovery.
- natsfan1a - May 18, 2010 at 4:08 PM
btw, that wasn't me. Just sayin'
- JayB - May 18, 2010 at 4:17 PM
I think Roger is a nice 4th OF but he does not have the run producing bat to be a corner OF on a winning team. I understand Harris was a fill in but so is Guz and so on…the time is way past to get serious about the RF ABs. Roger can fill in once or twice a week and in Late Innings but any more than that and we are playing short handed against the rest of the NL's better teams.
- Zach - May 18, 2010 at 4:35 PM
I'm a Mets fan, but I am visiting DC in June and bought tickets to the Nats-Pirates game on June 10th awhile ago (splurged on field level seats too).I hope you're right about the timing Mark, because as a general fan of baseball it would absolutely make my year if I was able to serendipitously catch Strasburg's 2nd start ever.

When is Strasburg's induction into the Hall of Fame scheduled? Typically that occurs sometime after one's 1st major league appearance
- Anonymous - May 18, 2010 at 5:02 PM
Still thinking it will be against the Pirates June 8th. The off day plus a team that is not the challenge that a San Diego or Cincinnati presents. An easy transition into the starting rotation.

How long can Rizzo afford to keep up this facade that all is well in the OF?Probably until Michael Burgess ready and why not? It takes a month or two to consummate a trade as we have heard both JimBo and Mike Rizzo state? You have to be ready to give up something valuable to get something valuable in exchange. What do they have? They would have to give up either an Dunn or a Willingham to get say a BJ Upton. Someone Mike Rizzo and team did look into acquiring.Its not that easy to accomplish. Commiserating about it over and over again won't make it happen dude. Learn to accept the fact that they will be looking to see what the homegrown under team control talent can do first.
- alexva - May 18, 2010 at 5:14 PM
JayB, you're right Bernadina is not a corner OF, he is a CF. But in order to see if he can hit at this level, that is where he has to play and he has to play a lot. If he does hit, he can either be traded or play CF and allow Morgan to be traded. At some point you have to let it go, the RF situation is a liability, no denying it.
- mikeladd123 - May 18, 2010 at 5:58 PM
Mark, I wrote to you in spring training that June 4th would be the day. The absolute biggest media event for the Nats this year will be his debut. There is no way that day will be on the road – absolutely none. Having his first two starts at home against teams that might not have crowds of 20,000 without him pitching will pay for a lot of his signing bonus. That day also will give him five of his seven pre-All Star game starts at home in a five man rotation schedule.
- Anonymous - May 18, 2010 at 6:21 PM
With the Mets desperately short of SPs and the Marlins lineup disrupted by the Hanley situation, there's blood in the water in the NL East. There's a window of opportunity opening for the Nationals to do some damage beginning with the next homestand.

He is of little use they way he is playing in the field and at bat.How long can Rizzo afford to keep up this facade that all is well in the OF? JayB – I think you nailed this one about Willie Harris. Also, LF is his comfort zone not RF. He should have been back at the wall on that triple in the first inning and caught it and instead he slowed up for a split second which caused him not to be there. Yes, it was a tough play but again if he was positioned properly he should have been there.The team may lose some power with Bernadina in RF but you gain so much in RF defense. I truly believe Bernadina makes both key plays that Willie missed.Bernadina made a similar play at the wall in CF and made the catch.
- B.R. - May 23, 2010 at 5:09 PM
Mark,If the Nationals are actively pursuing Roy Oswalt and trying to persuade them that he should waive his no-trade clause to come to D.C., do you think they would have Strasburg make a start in Houston to drive the point home, so to speak?

Mi picture (#1) is up again and I didn't even ask for it this time.
For the ones that gave me their support about my father in law health issues, I'm sorry to say that he passed away on monday.
We are still trying to cope with the loss of a great and loving husband, father (in law), son and friend. But what saddens me the most is thinking that my 2 year old lost his grandfather and friend, since he was retired and my son would spend most of his day with his grandparents.
@BRosa – breathtaking photo! SERIOUSLY!!
SO sorry to hear about your loss. When my dad passed, my nephew – his 1st grandchild was only a cpl years ago. My dad retired at 57 so he spent days with my nephew too – the luuu bed their time together. It was so hard. Just no words for it. BUT, you have everyone else who to bring the love, and sounds like excellent memories. Hope ur getting some smiles in.
ReplyCancelThank you all for your kind words, it's incredible how words from strangers can make you feel better.
@Sincerely, your friend: we think that by being with out little boy will be positive for my mother in law, children just make you happy (most of the time)!
Happy 4th of July everybody!

Pet Supplies Plus moving into former Ethan Allen building
Pet Supplies Plus plans to open a store in the former Ethan Allen building at 14750 W. Capitol Drive, which has sat vacant for a number of years.
The Brookfield Common Council gave the final approval for the endeavor tonight.
The pet supply retailer will occupy the entire 14,000-square-foot building, using 8,000 square feet for sales space and the remainder for warehouse space, said Larry Goudy, zoning and planning administrator.
Pet Supplies Plus, which carries an array of toys, food and equipment for dogs, cats, fish, birds and reptiles, already has several locations in the metro area, including a store on Bluemound Road.
Some interior renovations will be made to make the building suitable for the store's use, but no exterior alterations are planned, Goudy said.
Elmbrook Humane Society receives threats to burn down building
City of Brookfield Police have increased their patrols around the Elmbrook Humane Society in recent weeks after the shelter received threats via social media to burn the building down.
In late-March, Elmbrook Humane Society euthanized a dog that had been a resident for 15 months. Elmbrook Executive Director Heather Gehrke says that the animal had had four instances in the past in which the dog had caused injury; however, Elmbrook personnel felt that the incidents were not necessarily aggressive or intended to be vicious.
"The county last year did, after the fourth incident, label him a vicious dog. We appealed it, we reached a settlement, and they repealed it," Gehrke said.
But last month the dog was involved in additional bite incidents that required medical attention, and the decision was made that the dog was not a candidate for placement.
Elmbrook Humane Society is the only no-kill shelter in Waukesha County; however, Gehrke notes that being labeled as no-kill shelter does not actually mean that an animal shelter will never, under any circumstances, euthanize an animal.
» Read Full ArticleBrookfield feels sting of tax fraud
Residents of the city of Brookfield have been reporting in droves that they are struggling to get their tax returns this season.
And no, it's not because they're having trouble filing them or figuring out what they quality for. It's because someone else has already filed for them.
So far this tax season, Brookfield Police estimate that they have received at least 60 complaints from residents who say that while attempting to file their taxes they were notified that someone else had already stolen their identity and done so.
Brookfield Police Capt. Phil Horter says that this is by far the worst season he can remember for this type of crime.
"I think one of the contributing factors is probably the increase in identity theft in the last couple of years," Horter said. "There's been some very large breaches of personal information, and some of those breaches may be responsible for the amount of personal information that is illegally available."

Commuters using public transportation in the city of Brookfield will soon have at least somewhat more hospitable conditions while they wait for their buses.
Clear Channel Outdoor and the Waukesha County Transit system are planning to install six shelters along the Bluemound Road corridor this summer.
Clear Channel has relationships with both the Waukesha County Transit System and the Milwaukee County Transit System which has the company front the cost for the shelters in exchange for being allowed to sell advertising space on one side wall of the structure.
It is that deal that brought the topic before the Brookfield plan commission Monday night, as the city does not allow off-site advertising.
Waukesha County Director of Public Works Allison Bussler sent a letter to commissioners requesting that they approve the exception to that rule in order to allow the shelters to be built.

Paul Farrow elected Waukesha County exec; Van De Water out as judge
Waukesha County voters on Tuesday hired state Sen. Paul Farrow of Pewaukee for the job of county chief executive officer.
And voters Tuesday fired two-term incumbent Circuit Judge Linda Van De Water from her Branch 10 seat.
The race to replace County Executive Dan Vrakas ended with a lopsided victory for Farrow as he outpolled County Supervisor Thomas Schellinger with nearly 68% of votes in Tuesday's spring election, according to preliminary results with 98% of units reporting.
Vrakas did not seek re-election to a four-year term and endorsed Farrow for the job.
In his unsuccessful bid for the office, Schellinger had been critical of Farrow's decision to run for county executive less than two weeks after his November re-election to the Senate's 33rd District.

Even after about two hours of discussion and roughly six months of vetting since Irgens initially requested tax incremental assistance on The Corridor, the City of Brookfield's Common Council was still split down the middle on the topic Tuesday night.
Of the 14 aldermen on the council, seven voted in favor of all items regarding tax incremental financing district 5 and seven voted in opposition. TIF district 5 would call for the city to spend approximately $11.25 million including financing to provide Irgens with $7.42 million to assist with phase one of the development of The Corridor.
The funding would be recouped through increases in the tax base.
In the case of a tie, the mayor is charged with making the final decision and, in this case, Mayor Steve Ponto voted in favor of creating the TIF district, approving its project plan and the development agreement between Irgens and the city.
Ponto explained his affirmative vote:

Residents of Elm Grove and the surrounding communities will have a new place to go to both express their creativity and socialize in the coming weeks.
Katherine Oberst of Brookfield and Danielle Heckenkamp of Wauwatosa have teamed up to bring Elm Grove Art, a wine and paint bar, to the village, offering plenty for both adults and children alike.
"Elm Grove Art is going to be a wine and paint bar in the evenings but it's also going to offer a lot of kids programs and day camps for moms and kids," Oberst said. "We're in the stage of decorating our place right now and our grand opening will be May 1."
The co-owners got the idea of a wine and paint bar from their own experiences visiting similar establishments in the past.
"(Danielle) and I have always been creative. We each have three children and we do a lot of crafts and stuff with our kids at home. We have so many mom friends and they always say 'We need a place to go where we can take our kids and be creative and not have the mess at home,'" Oberst said.

With the weather tentatively warming in southeastern Wisconsin, it may be just about time for plows and salt trucks to get an extended break.
The city of Brookfield's Highway Department says that this winter was a piece of cake compared to the harshness of the 2013 - 14 winter season.
While certain parts of the winter were difficult, as a whole, Highway Department Superintendent Terry Starns says that the numbers fully represent how much less severe this year was.
"This past winter was considerably easier for the highway division than last year's," Starns said. "February was brutal, being the sixth-coldest February on record; however, we did get much less snow. There was hardly any measurable snow in the entire month of December."
Starns says that this winter the city used only 2,500 tons of road salt. In the winter of 2013 - 14, the city reached almost 7,700 tons.
» Read Full ArticleGround Round restaurant coming to Brookfield
A previously popular restaurant chain is returning to the Milwaukee area after an absence of more than 10 years.
The Ground Round is opening a new location in Brookfield connected to the Midway Hotel & Suites, 1005 S. Moorland Road. The Brookfield location is owned by Virani Enterprises\, LLC and will replace Maxwell's as the hotel's attached eatery.
"We're hoping to open the Tuesday after Memorial Day. We'll be open for dinner that day and then the Wednesday after Memorial Day we'll be fully open for lunch and everything," Ground Round General Manager Peter Pfaffenbach said.
In 2004, five Ground Round locations in Wisconsin closed abruptly, including one at West Bluemound Road and Mayfair Road in Wauwatosa. Since that time, the company has restructured and is now attempting to expand back into many of its old stomping grounds.
"What happened was that the old corporation went bankrupt in 2004, but there were a few franchises that hung on that were doing well," Pfaffenbach said. "They acquired the name and now they're bringing it back. So, it's a different company, it just has the same name."

It is difficult to choose from the wide array of memory foam toppers that O. has available for purchase. After having purchased several over the years I am offering my two cents worth review on them. They ALL will probably smell for a few days after opening them but that smell will eventually disappear & then you're left with a terrific product that will give you a great night's rest----(so ,totally worth the initial " smell issue!! ) I think either 3" or 4" is good, depending on the depth you need for your sheets to fit. Also, both the 3 # density and the 4# density is s-o-o-o cushy & comfy, so that is a matter of personal choice....but I would not buy a topper with less than 3" to 4" height or less than 3 to 4 pound density. I know they are a little bit more $pendy than the 2" or the 2 pound density-----but totally worth the extra dollars spent. My personal favorite is the 3" - 3 pound density BODIPEDIC because it comes with a terrific, (great fitting) cover that protects the foam. The SERTA 4" - 4 pound density is very nice too except that it does not include a cover but it does come with contour pillows, so if you prefer those type of pillows, that is a great buy too. Both are extremely comfortable & the reviews to years sold ratio is about the same on the Bodipedic & the Serta toppers.----( Hope this helps with your topper shopping! )
I used to wake up everyday with aches in my neck and lower back. I am only 30 but I felt like I was 90, all crotchety and stiff. I was involved in a serious car accident and have always needed 15 pillows to find comfort even when sitting up. I am exaggerating but you get the point. I always hurt. We had purchased a new pillow top mattress thinking that would help. It was quite firm and I did not want to deal with the hassle of finding another expensive failure. I resorted to these toppers. I purchased 2 of the Slumber Solutions Highloft Supreme Memory Foam toppers in the standard King size (one 3" and one 4"). I couldn't decide after reading the reviews so I bought both....If you are trying to decide between the 3" and the 4" Let me help you out. READ THIS. Both had a smell...nothing to run away from...just a little like fresh rubber and Pine-sol. Most of it went away by the 2nd day. Surprisingly the 4" was less smelly than the 3". Let me tell you - There is a HUGE difference between the softness/squishyness between the 3" and the 4" heights although everything else is the same (density, size, etc). The 3" provides cushion but nothing ultra plush. It provides extra comfort but you can still feel the hard bed through the bottom of the topper. The 4" is the ultimate in comfort. It is super thick and you CAN NOT feel the hard mattress underneath. I was able to put the 4" on the floor and not feel the floor. You could feel the floor through the 3". I never would have thought that 1" would make that much difference but IT DOES! It is unusual because the 4" is soooo soft but yet my back doesn't sink into a hole. I tried it with the fingers up and with the fingers down and I prefer them up. I feel like they are holding me up everywhere they touch my body -back of the neck, shoulder blades, lower back, even the back of my legs, hammys, and calves.. I didn't think I would like it. I have never been an egg crate kind of gal but this is different. I absolutely love to cuddle into my bed and rub my feet back and forth giving me a little massage right before I drift off into bliss. ...I guess this is what people mean by sleeping on air. I never understood them or what they meant when they said that. It is really nice. I seriously ask my husband every morning "How did we live without this?" He agrees. We have never had so much comfort out of an item that cost so little. I needed soft cushion with good support and the 4" is the answer. Both the 3" and the 4" are GREAT products and I would recommend both. We use the 3" king -cut into 2 twins- for my 3 year old son and also the guest bed. Both beds were hard as cement and it was actually nicer to sleep on the floor before. Topper sizing was perfect standard King makes 2 twins- just cut with sharp scissors. Now with the toppers they are quite comfy. My son no longer climbs out of his bed to sleep on the floor. My guest also commented that his bed was tremendously more comfortable too. He slept on the bed before the topper arrived and then after I placed it on the bed. NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE> So, in conclusion, if you are trying to decide between the 3" and the 4" and you are looking for squishy, supportive comfort GO WITH THE 4". If you need to save a few dollars then go with the 3" but I can almost guarantee that you will wish you had spent the few extra dollars for the 4" right after you receive the 3. Do yourself a favor and do it right the first time BUY THE 4 TOPPER.
Our mattress needs to be replaced and will be soon. Until then, I have been looking around for a nice topper that didn't break the bank. The price was so reasonable that I was skeptical about ordering at first. Am I glad that I did! I love this topper! Follow the directions, though. When you open it, do not force it open. I put it in a spare room to allow it to return back to the original shape by removing the plastic wrap carefully and gently opening it just partially. Just be sure to follow directions so you don't damage as it arrives very, very compact. After 48 hours, i put it on the bed and it fit my queen perfectly. I did go out and purchase a nice fitted sheet to fit a 16inch mattress since it adds 4inches and I didn't want it squished. Great purchase. Couldn't be happier and the price was a steal!
This is a really nice topper - very comfortable though it took some getting used to but memory foam is new to me. I really love it and have not found it to be too hot as some have commented. One word of caution....this thing is 4" tall! If you have a pillowtop mattress AND you add this topper you are going to have an issue keeping the fitted sheet on unless you have *really* deep pockets. This is the only problem I'm having at the moment. I will more than likely invest in a set of sheet suspenders to take care of the issue until I am able to purchase some extra deep sheets. (P.S. Regular Deep pockets are not deep enough with my pillow top). But overall, an excellent value for the money and it has completely solved the sagging "valleys" in my king size pillow top. LOVE THIS and would recommend!
I just got this topper for a guest bed that was ok but not great to sleep on instead of buying a new matress right now. I slept on it last night to test it out and must say it was AMAZING. It was so comfortable I am thinking about purchasing one for my high dollar bed that is starting to show signs of wearing down only after 3 years. I would highy reccomend this topper great value for the money looked around at several department stores in our area and got sticker shock and they were only 2 inch foam toppers.
I didn't read the instruction sheet aout letting it expand out of box by itself. I spread it out on the bed and let it expand the rest of the way for a day. We use this in our 5th wheel. Wife used it this weekend and noted it was a great improvement.
Very nice and excellent quality
I ordered this just to help preserve our new mattress that we bought, and my husband and I love it. Our mattress is firm, so this is a perfect balance for us. Its comfortable and we get a great nights sleep on it. Its not as heavy as some of those memory foams out there which I like. Its just enough cushion- great price for a king size. great purchase.
Very comfortable and soft. Very glad we bought it.
So comfy.!!!!..I highly recommend this product...
