Jordan Zimmermann faces Juan Nicasio tonight at Coors Field.
That red-hot Nationals lineup, so productive during the last week at home, went ice-cold in the thin Denver air last night. Go figure. They'll give it another shot tonight in Game 2 of this four-game series against the Rockies, with the same starting eight as yesterday.
That lineup will be up against Juan Nicasio, a rookie right-hander who has been pretty effective in his first big-league stint (four of his last six outings have been quality starts).
Jordan Zimmermann starts for the Nationals, inching ever closer to his season limit of 160 innings. He's currently sitting at 132 2/3, so he's only got about four more starts before he's shut down for 2011.
As you know, I'm not in Colorado this weekend. Enjoy the game and the conversation…

Hoping to see JZim finish strong! GYFNG! However – probably won't be able to stay awake for the whole game.
- Natty Bo - Aug 5, 2011 at 10:42 PM
C'mon, its Friday, you can stay up.
- Navy Nats Fan - Aug 5, 2011 at 11:08 PM
Hey is the Tune Inn reopened yet? Let's go watch the game and drink a beer somewhere….
- baseballswami - Aug 5, 2011 at 11:10 PM
I know it's Friday — I'm going to try! Hopefully the game will be action-packed and will keep me awake. Either that – or lots of people posting typically hilarious things. Feels like it should be game time right about now……
- Bryan Scrafford - Aug 5, 2011 at 11:52 PM
Looks like Zimmerman could be shutting down right about the time that Strasburg is ready to come back (perhaps a little earlier). That's kinda interesting since they're both making their way back after having Tommy John's surgery.
- Navy Nats Fan - Aug 6, 2011 at 12:02 AM
According to the interwebz Tune Inn is still closed. I'm going to Justin's Cafe (1025 1st ST SE near the ballpark), wearing my Strasburg jersey. Say hi and I'll buy you a beer!

Sudden drop off in # of comments does deserve further study. Is there a new episode of 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' on tonight?
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 12:45 AM
JZim'nn in the pre-game interview with Carp said it right. He said it will be a good rotation next year with Stras, Lannan and himself. I noticed he didn't mention Detwiler or Wang. Not sure if you can read into that. Just interesting.
- Matt - Aug 6, 2011 at 12:51 AM
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 12:52 AM
Glad the Ump screwed up on Zim's HBP because he just got a 2 RBI triple!Say hello to a 14 game hitting streak!
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 12:59 AM
1 for 4 with RISP so far tonight. Werth has to toughen up in those situations. They let the Rookie off the hook
- Exposremains - Aug 6, 2011 at 1:05 AM
How many times we've seen this they look like they gonna put the game away in the 1st inning and then they dont and fail to score for the rest of the game. I hope its different tonight.
- dryw - Aug 6, 2011 at 1:09 AM
Carpe, I hadn't thought about the lack of mention of Detwiler, Wang, et. al, but I did think it was classy of Zimmnn to mention Lannan. It's got to be hard to be John, especially as he continues to develop into a solid pitcher, hearing nothing but Zimmermann, Strasburg, Zimmmermann, Strasburg all the time.In fact, two years ago there were some Q&A sessions and stuff before the exhibition game against the Sox, and Lannan was one of the players involved. He was sitting there being a really good sport that no one seemed to be aware of him as anything other than a source of information on Stras.So, yeah, I was glad that Zimmnn mentioned him as a key piece of next year's rotation. Well said, kid!
- Navy Nats Fan - Aug 6, 2011 at 1:17 AM
Excellent job by JZimm and the defense to strand Young (then Helton) at 2nd after a leadoff double. Wow – Nicasio almost decapitated by Desmond's liner. Caught it flush in the side of the head.
- baseballswami - Aug 6, 2011 at 1:22 AM
This is kind of scary…
- JaneB - Aug 6, 2011 at 1:32 AM
My stomach is still in my throat. Awful for everyone. I hope the brace was just precautionary and that he ends up getting a home run in the next game he pitches.Danny was safe on that play. Even the UFOs are rattled,
- JaneB - Aug 6, 2011 at 1:34 AM
Umps! Not UFOs. Sheesh. Autocorrect!
- JaneB - Aug 6, 2011 at 1:37 AM
It makes Livo's grab of that come backer even more amazing. And important.
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 1:38 AM
@dryw, very true on LannEn, as he really is the unmentioned guy that it was classy to be included in the same sentence by JZim'nn. LannEn's numbers are excellent when you track ERA and he can be considered top tier when he gets the walks under control.This team's complexion changes in 2012 as getting Strasburg back is like signing a top Free Agent.I also liked the idea in the other discussion about Coco Crisp. He liked it to as he hit a 2 run HR tonight.
- sofa surfin - Aug 6, 2011 at 1:41 AM
No, he was out. I did the frame-by-frame thing. Close, but a good call.
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 1:50 AM
Someone yesterday said, callup Stammen not Balestar. Well, Stammen tonight was done in 3 innings giving up 7 earned runs on 8 hits and 2 walks and then pulled. ERA blows up to 4.82
- dryw - Aug 6, 2011 at 1:51 AM
Scary indeed. I hope he's ok!!
- dryw - Aug 6, 2011 at 1:53 AM
JaneB, that has to be one of the more amusing auto-correct non-corrections I've seen! Ump, UFO, whatever….
- baseballswami - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:12 AM
JZ all over the place tonight. Picking off a guy between bases in a pickle, pitching, hitting a double and scoring. And in the thin rocky mountain air, no less.
- JaneB - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:15 AM
Sometimes it feels like they were dropped from UFOs, doesn't it, dryw?Thanks for the frame-by-frame update sofa surfin.We had heard something about LannEn by now, when he was hit, hadn't we?
- Beast Mode smash - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:18 AM
dryw said… Scary indeed. I hope he's ok!! August 5, 2011 9:51 PM I know you are referring to Juan Nicasio but I was reading from the bottom up and look at the post above yours on Stammen. Scary.On a happier subject BEAST MODE
- baseballswami - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:19 AM
I think we knew LannEn was going to be ok pretty quickly. They later went to the hospital for precautionary tests. This looked worse. Yikes.
- Bryan Scrafford - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:30 AM
Anyone think there will be calls for pitchers to wear helmets after what happened to Nicasio? They made base coaches make the switch a few years ago, after all, and pitchers are closer to the plate then they are.With that being said, I still don't see it happening in the foreseeable future.
- JaneB - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:31 AM
JZimm is awesome. Awe some.
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:34 AM
You want ugly? The Pittsburgh Pirates put in their top pitcher Karstens tonight. He gave up 9 earned runs in 3.1 innings and his ERA jumped from the mid-2's to 3.05. The Pirates are losing 15-5 and just spiraling out of control. I think there players got pissed off when management couldn't get any good trades. Derrek Lee was the best they could do at the trade deadline when they needed another good outfielder.
- NatsLady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:35 AM
Just turned on and saw replay of 2nd inning. Scary. Any word?
- NatsLady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:44 AM
Wish we had a really good 7th inning guy.
- Bryan Scrafford - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:45 AM
NatsLady….Based upon what the commentators are saying and I can find online, there isn't any word but folks seem to think it's pretty serious.
- Joe Seamhead - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:49 AM
This is a pretty big appearance for H Rod.Jordon pitched a great game!
- NatsLady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:49 AM
Thanks, Bryan.
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:49 AM
NatsLady, for a few outings we saw 2 decent 7th inning guys named Matthews and Detwiler. I still cant tell if Matthews is the guy. Detwiler throwing high 90's in that 7th inning appearence last week is intriging.
- Drew8 - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:52 AM
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:53 AM
Jordan Zimmermann for a brief second had his ERA back under 2.99 with NO EARNED RUNS. 2 more inherited runner to score. FP, I cant live with that. Sorry. No way FP. Dont make excuses for these guys. That was just a dismal effort on a light hitting guy.
- NatsLady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:53 AM
Trusting Henry in a big spot. Yeesh, ANOTHER miscommunication. C'mon, get an out!!!!
- NatsLady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:56 AM
Looks like we have the bad Henry today. JZimm did not deserve that.
- Exposremains - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:57 AM
and Hrod is ruining this game all by himself. get him out of there!!
- CBinDC - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:57 AM
What can they ever do ???? That was Keystone Cops Here we go Davy mismanaging the game again why did no one go out calm down Henry ????? Men left on base again again again and again
- Mark'd - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:57 AM
This bullpen overall stinks. I feel for Jordan Zimmermann. Loses his scoreless streak to Henry The Hack and now the Win is in jeopardy.
- SCNatsFan - Aug 6, 2011 at 2:58 AM
I wish HRod would get hurt so we could send him to the minors on a rehab assignment
- CBinDC - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:00 AM
This team can not put anybody away when they should if this game is a loss it would be the 6th game in Davy ERA that was blown from inaction
- JaneB - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:01 AM
Ooof…Tyler in the sixth. Looks like Davey wants 7 outs from him tonight.
- Anonymous - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:01 AM
You just have to laugh at how low an IQ Ian Desmond has.Henry Rodriguez is going to pass out from hyperventilating. This team is a bunch of lsoers
- NatsLady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:01 AM
OK, Clipp, make us proud.
- sjm308 - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:02 AM
just came up to the computer – can't believe after the screw up on that pop up that the first words out of FP's mouth is what a good job Nix did on getting the ball back into the infield – that was a play that MOST major league teams make!!! Its a pop up to left field!!! This is why we are in last place and its why we will stay there this season. Can't believe he didn't leave Zimm in to try and get out of this. I have seen this before and before and before going back to the 50s but damn it, its not fun!!!!
- Exposremains - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:02 AM
HRod should always and only be used in mop-up situation. Thats the only time he is good. I dont care if it takes 2 years, he needs to show for a long time in a mop up role that he can be trusted in a tough situation. He's like hanrahan of old.
- baseballswami - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:03 AM
Jordan Zimmermann is the most snake-bit pitcher I have ever seen. And – can someone please tell me why, why, why he couldn't finish that inning? HRod is a disaster! And then HE is allowed to just stay out there until the game is out of control!!!!!!!! JZ on his worst day would have done a better job than this!!! What is Davey Johnson thinking???And now, NOW, he calls in Houdini!!!
- sjm308 - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:04 AM
So Hrod got NO ONE OUT – what a joke and what a shame that JZimm didn't get a chance to take care of this himself.
- Anonymous - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:04 AM
I strongly disagree with bringing in henry there, because there are 2 types of henry: lights-out henry, and awful henry. nothing in between. not only does jzim get charged with those runs, he is now no longer in line for the win despite pitching nearly 7 shutout innings. and now we have to use clippard. what a waste
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:05 AM
Game under control with 2 outs and a .258 light hitting 2nd baseman comes up. Why not leave Jordan Zimmermann to finish it?This bullpen stinks without Clippard/Storen.
- sjm308 - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:05 AM
I read and hear that Davey is in this for two more years and if he can't handle the bullpen better than this we are in for a long two years. Thank god for Clippard Now who is going to get the last 9 outs??
- JaneB - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:06 AM
Anon at 11:01, what the heck are you talking about?Tyler, you are a minor deity to me.
- Anonymous - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:06 AM
Once again, Davey Johnson has no frigging clue what he is doing.
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:08 AM
Anon at 11:04, JZim'nn is still in line for the win as the Nats are still winning….LUCKILY.His ERA jumped from 2.98 to 3.05 then to 3.12 after Henry The Hack allowed those inherited runners to score.
- NatsLady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:08 AM
Thank you, Clipp. Got away with that 2nd strike but what a great pitch for strike three.
- Exposremains - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:08 AM
Like DJohnson said about Clippard: "I don't know where we would be without him"
- b - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:09 AM
I distinctly remember hearing that we are going to leave the starting pitchers in longer. What a joke. JZim might have let one score, but not all three before getting the last out. HRod can ONLY pitch when there is absolutely no pressure. And – once you know you have bad Henry – you can't just let it go on!
- baseballswami - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:11 AM
And now, folks, the offense will fold up their tents and go home early. Rockies – please thank us nicely for the gift.
- NatsLady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:12 AM
JaneB, Anon is talking about Desi in the outfield making Nix drop the ball. Also not sure why he needed to get that foul from RZimm, but RZimm got out of the way.
- JaneB - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:12 AM
Doesn't someone in the bullpen spot whether he is good or bad Henry,before he gets out there, and can't they then give the hi sign to Davey and, like, get SOMEBODY ELSE instead?
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:14 AM
@Anonymous said… Once again, Davey Johnson has no frigging clue what he is doing. August 5, 2011 11:06 PM ______________Davey has a bullpen full of losers not named Clip and Storen. Rizzo plucked Detwiler out, not Davey.This was the point the other day about backtoback with Wang and Detwiler. 2 pitchers who shouldn't be starting until September that will overuse your bullpen.Who does Davey go to in that situation? Either Coffey or Henry and Henry had more rest. I can only say that Davey's choice was to leave in Jordan or go to Henry and the hack looked as bad as most of his season. A couple games where Henry looked good and the rest are just trash. No nice way to say it. That isnt MLB quality.
- NatsLady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:16 AM
And THAT is why WAR as currently defined is meaningless for relievers.
- JaneB - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:16 AM
Shush your mouth swami. We have two more innings to get back some runs. And Tyler pitching again. Those Rockies aren't gonna get anything to thank us for.
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:17 AM
@NatsLady in Minnesota said… JaneB, Anon is talking about Desi in the outfield making Nix drop the ball. Also not sure why he needed to get that foul from RZimm, but RZimm got out of the way. August 5, 2011 11:12 PM ___________________Come on NatsLady, you may be frustrated so dont starting blaming Desmond. Desmond made the right play on both of those. He has the angle on the foul ball and he goes for that popup until he is called off. That popup is bad luck.
- Anonymous - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:18 AM
Henry's stuff is so good, so how can he be so bad at times? would've liked to see the guy who threw 2.1 scoreless the other night show up, argh
- sjm308 - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:18 AM
Hate to predict stuff but I think baseballswami has his crystal ball out and on and if we are going to win this it will be with 3 innings of shutout ball. After Clippard, who will they throw in the 8th. You can't tell me he will go 3 innings!! Leadoff hitter on in the 8th with Helton and Tulo up next, we are in trouble.
- sjm308 - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:19 AM
this is when you hear the "rather be lucky than good" line
- NatsLady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:21 AM
I wasn't blaming Des for the collision, Anon was. And on the foul ball, I assume Desi called, just seemed like it was a long run For him.

He is a thrower. Not a pitcher. After he pitched those 2.1 scoreless someone suggested he be made into a starter. Whoaaaaa
- JaneB - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:24 AM
Clip didn't have to throw much in the 7th. He can do the 8th. for a while at least. It's only one out more than 2 innings.Am I going to have to come over there an separate you two, sjm and swami? Curlie W. Expect it. Tonight, I mean. I would do the emoticons for a smiley face, but I think NatsJack might throw up.
- JaneB - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:26 AM
Thanks Joe!Sounds like those Rockies fans are doing the wave. That can only help.GYFNG!
- Mark'd - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:26 AM
We should feel sorry for Davey. He has few options with the bullpen. This is why Rizzo is lost as a GM. This seems like Spring Training experimentation gone bad.
- Whatsanattau - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:26 AM
Davey knows more about managing than anyone on this blog. HRod has to deliver in that situation. The problem is not the managing the problem is the roster. Davey still has the second highest winning percentage of any active manager. Riiggleman had the lowest.
- Anonymous - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:27 AM
JaneB, glad you have it figured out for us.
- Anonymous - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:30 AM
@carpe diem, for a thrower, he has one of the best breaking balls ive ever seen, and possesses the occasional ability to throw his 100mph on the black while changing speeds. if we could suffer through another season or so of sporadic henry, the nats could potentially watch him grow into the lights-out henry that we see (….in non-pressure situations)
- Natslady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:32 AM
Desi 4 for 4. According to Rox announcers, Nicasio "resting comfortably" in a local hospital undergoing tests.
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:34 AM
Mark'd/Whatsanattau, you both basically are saying it isn't Davey's fault and I agree. I also put this on Rizzo. Davey needs a bullpen. Bring up Peacock as a starter and give Davey back Detwiler. Send Balestar back to Syracuse.Where I disagree with Whatsanattau is mentioning Riggleman. The man finished with a winning record with no Ryan Zimmerman and an injured Adam LaRoche and a .220 Jayson Werth and Slaten, Gaudin, Burnett, et al.Rizzo is in charge of putting a MLB roster together. The bullpen stinks except Clip and Storen.
- Anonymous - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:35 AM
why are we batting clip with runner on 2nd in one-run ball game. why. give the ball to burnett for the 8th or coffey we have to score
- Anonymous - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:36 AM
Sean Burnett should be in there instead of burning out Clippard. Unreal. Rizzo, you are letting us down.
- Anonymous - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:40 AM
Yep, JaneB had it all figured out. Leave Clippard in for the rest of the game.
- NatsLady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:41 AM
.228 with RISP (team). Two out, Davey trusts Clipp more than a pinch hitter. But Clipp could get tired, or Storen could give up a dinger. Tough choice.
- JaneB - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:43 AM
Not the rest of the game. Try to make it to Storen. Two outs to go. Rockies are helping.
- Bryan Scrafford - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:43 AM
I'm not so sure about that Anon 11:36. I get worried everytime Burnett comes in during a close game. He's streaky and I haven't been too confident in his ability to perform in high pressure situations.
- CBinDC - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:44 AM
Wait Burnett in now …if you do not trust the bullpen why would you make that move ??
- CBinDC - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:46 AM

Again, rather be lucky than good – how many times do you have a pickoff in the 8th inning? here comes storen into the game in the 8th inning for a 4 out save!! Think Davey doesn't want this game. If nothing else, he is letting his team know!!go Nats and I love everyone on this site that is not named anon!! still think we need shutout ball to win this game
- Anonymous - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:47 AM
Burnetts done well lately might as well give him a shot. It's not like we're in playoff contention anyway and hed be valuable for us if he can put out the fire in key situations, like now. Spoiler alert: we are going to need more runs in order to win this game.
- Joe Seamhead - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:48 AM
Two years ago this team was virtually unwatchable. Mike Rizzo has improved all phases of the There is still a lot of room for improvement, but it's coming.Winners never quit. Quitters never win. The last guy quit.Riggleman pulled Michael Morse time after time last year when he was in the middle of multiple-hit games.He was quick to bench Morse this past April. He did his best to destroy his confidence. He all but said that Morse wasn't an everyday player, and despite his numbers, said that he couldn't hit right handers.Does Drew have four outs for us?
- NatsLady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:49 AM
No Burnett. Get four outs from Storen.

Not going to argue too heavily in favor of HROD. He was one of my favorites but how can you justify what he has done lately? If he ever gets it together he will be amazing but that has just not happened and its a pretty good reason why he was traded.
- sjm308 - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:52 AM
ok – storen got the most important out!!Now to get the next 3!!!!Can't imagine we will get him any kind of cushion
- Anonymous - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:53 AM
Why did Rizzo choose this point and time to move Detwiler to the starting rotation. Shouldn't Peacock have made more sense. Wang to Detwiler to Jordan Zimmermann who Davey is handling like a fragile egg.
- JaneB - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:54 AM
Yes, Joe, he does. Some may be lucky, but three more to go.Two years ago…even last year…I would have turned it off and walked away in tne 7th, if I even made it that long. Now I am waiting to watch us win. So are lots of people.
- CBinDC - Aug 6, 2011 at 3:55 AM

Walking RZimm to get to Morse? There is hope. Get 6 runs and Burnett can mop up.
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 4:00 AM
@CBinDC, I was up 1/2 way in Kilimanjaro about 8,000 feet up. I was fine up to 6,500 feet. Big difference above that. I just wont make excuses for these guys at what there problems are. They should communicate that with Davey if they have a problem. Maybe thats why we are seeing Burnett or maybe because he stinks.
- sjm308 - Aug 6, 2011 at 4:01 AM
ANON – hate to argue in the middle of a terrific game but do you really think Rizzo is calling the shots?? No way he moved Detwiler to the starting rotation, this is Davey's team and he is making all the moves.We score a BIG run and Storen is back out for the 4 out save!!
- BEAST MODE IS THE MAN - Aug 6, 2011 at 4:02 AM
Thank you BEAST MODE is all I can say!2 opportunites tonight though for Jayson Werth with 1 out and a runner on 3rd and he fails to do anything with it TWICE. Baaaaaad.
- NatsLady in Minnesota - Aug 6, 2011 at 4:03 AM
Or not. At least a little breathing room for Drew.

@sjm308, sorry, I think you are wrong. Davey said in an interview he expected to see Peacock and Milone. He didn't mention Detwiler. Do I believe Davey requested Detwiler for his bullpen a month ago, yes. Davey knows how bad his bullpen is. By now he knows what he has and it aint good.

I love that Davey is our Manager and would love for him to be that for the forseeable future. However, there seems to be a recent pattern of mismanaging pitchers and Bullpen. Davey almost lost us the game today by bringing in Hrod in the 6th. There were more than 4 better options in that situation. first, I think JZim could have gotten the last out there instead of being taken out. second, Everyone should know by now that you do not bring in either Burnette or Hrod with runners on base in a close ballgame. Especially for HRod, at this point in his development, you should only bring him in with nobody on base. That way, he can walk as many people as he wants but still be able to get the outs and end the inning without giving up any runs.Most importantly is the fact that Clippard is very fresh as he has not pitched for quite a while, and so if you are going to take Zim out, with runners in, the best play was to bring Clip in as he will be good to go for 2+ innings. I will even argue that using Matheus was a better play here even with his recent struggles. Anyway, still happy that we got the win, and yes its easy to second guess the Manager but am just pointing out what is evident/obvious and I hope Daveys Pitching and bullpen management improves.

Was watching on MLB.tv on my brother's big-screen tv. Great picture, but still ads, mostly for umpire camp. My niece's hub is a White Sox fan, and my bro-in-law is a Twins fan so I foresee a family trip to a baseball game here tomorrow night. If it comes to pass, will report on the one that got away (Span) — although, boy, we canNOT afford to give up Storen with Stras coming back and sure to be on short innings.(Clippard– untouchable, and untouched! Unreal.)

Anon at 12:46, have to agree with most of your analysis, exceptI don't think HRod "wants" to walk people, he just does…Also, I don't think Davey wanted, or planned to have Clip work more than one inning. At that point we were ahead 4-0. HRod and Burnett are both unreliable with men on base, and Mattheus just melted down last night. I don't think Davey would have taken JZimm out if he hadn't sensed (or known by way of Ramos) that JZ was right on the edge of a meltdown, maybe from the altitude or just arm soreness. Maybe let Coffey try? Can't he get one out, then put HRod or Burnett in for the 7th with the bases clean. There are no good solutions here, given that we needed to win a game that we were ahead in.
- baseballswami - Aug 6, 2011 at 4:59 AM
JaneB — you were so right that I bailed on the guys too early!!! Soo then , after the great HRod debacle, I fell asleep in my chair, woke up for the ninth. Rolled back 30 min. on the dvr to fill in some gaps. Also caught the highlights on the postgame. I love it when they don't quit and Clippard is a wizard. Storen looked much better than he has lately.He has given up a couple of bombs lately. That was a TON of hits, too. JZim with a very big game — 2 hits! Making a vow not to give up too soon next time – HRod made me lose my mind.Temporary insanity.
- Anonymous - Aug 6, 2011 at 5:01 AM
Are you looking for a hot pitcher? Some guy named Shairon Martis is pitching very well now. Thursday he pitched 6 innings of shutout baseball. I bring him up and move Detwiler back to the bullpen. Davey can't manage with one of the most unbalanced bullpens in the NL.Two things that bother me is the Nats didn't have to be sellers at the trade deadline unless there were deals that had to be made like for a CF. He didn't have to trade Marquis. He could've DFA'd Wang. He didn't have to pick this moment in time to put Detwiler in the rotation. Detwiler really didn't impress in the Syracuse rotation. Also, Gorzelanny can still pitch in the rotation. I wonder about this Rizzo guy and have faith in Davey doing the best he can do.
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 5:11 AM
NatsLady, who do you bring in when you have runners on base before the 7th inning?I would say Todd Coffey. After the 7th, Tyler Clippard.Henry Rodriguez, Sean Burnett, and Matteus are low pressure situation guys. Best to give them a fresh inning.Who can you really count on? 2 guys. Clippard and Storen. That's it.How's about Wilkie or Zech Dinicola? Is there anyone who can help?
- Big Oil - Aug 6, 2011 at 5:20 AM
Carpe -My philosophy is, generally, use your ace reliever when the game is in the balance. No guarantee you get to the 9th with a lead when sacks are packed in the 7th with one out. "Roles" at that point overtake winning, or at least putting yourself in the best position to do so, IMO.
- Big Oil - Aug 6, 2011 at 5:21 AM
overtake in the sense of "mistaking this for the alternative,"
- Anonymous - Aug 6, 2011 at 5:36 AM
@ Natslady. Yeah I did not mean he wants to walk people. Probably should have said that "as much as he inevitably will" or something. I see your point about not wanting to use Clip for more than two especially since we have two games left in the series but i just think that since he has not pitched much the last couple of days that he should be able to handle it. Also, a 4 run lead is more like a three run lead in this park so we should not be putting our inconsistent relief pitchers in the game at this point if we want to win the game. I guess maybe Cofee or even Bally could have worked if he didnt want to give Clip more than 1 inning or use Matheus due to recent struggles. Its a shame that Kimball is injured as i feel he certainly could have helped our bullpen.

A beer at the Red Loft to whomever guesses where the Nats' relivers are ranked in the MLB in ERA (to simplify the statistical measuring stick).They're tied for 8th with the Marlins. Just .01 points ahead of the Phillies.
- baseballswami - Aug 6, 2011 at 5:53 AM
Is that the relievers as a group? So – no matter how many innings each has pitched, it's an average? Thank God for Clip and Store – they are the ones that bring it down nice and low. I keep thinking that one of the others is going to go on a nice consistent streak. Maybe Coffey, or Burnett – one of the more experienced ones.
- Grandstander - Aug 6, 2011 at 6:05 AM
Relievers as a group.Here's the link: http://www.fangraphs.com/teams.aspx?pos=all&stats=rel&lg=all&type=8&season=2011&month=0&season1=2011I encourage everyone to go and check out this stuff and play around and learn about new stats and metrics. There shouldn't be a monopoly on access to this information.
- Grandstander - Aug 6, 2011 at 6:17 AM
Also, reliever ERA is kind of a bunk stat. As we saw tonight, HRod's pathetic attempt at pitching cost JZimm's ERA, not his.It's much more accurate to look at FIP, or more importantly, xFIP, as relievers' HR% flucuate wildly. In xFIP, the Nats bullpen ranks 14th in the NL, tied with the Phillies, at 4.10. This really speaks to the incredible defensive ability of the Nats to take away hits, especially in late innings (another thing we saw tonight).
- Grandstander - Aug 6, 2011 at 6:33 AM
Just to bolster that point, Slaten currently holds an ERA of 2.19. Storen's ERA was at 2.87 before tonight's game. However, Storen's xFIP was at 3.34 (second only to Clippard's 3.10) while Slaten's is an embarrassing 5.48, tied with Gaudin for second-worst on the club.
- baseballswami - Aug 6, 2011 at 6:54 AM
I think the strategy with our middle relievers is to have 2 of them warm up.It's usually apparent immediately if they are on or off – the minute they get in trouble, yank them and bring in the second one.Especially HRod- you just can't let him get in sooo much trouble. He is not the type of player who can fix it while he is in the game.With a 4 run lead, it never should have gone 4 to 3.
- Carpe Diem - Aug 6, 2011 at 12:25 PM
@Grandstander said… Also, reliever ERA is kind of a bunk stat. As we saw tonight, HRod's pathetic attempt at pitching cost JZimm's ERA, not his.__________The proper way on effectiveness is taking a mix of inherited runners scoring and adding that to ERA. That way you know Slaten STINKS.Just watching JZim'nn ERA grow as both of his inherited runners scored STINKS. JZim'nn fell to #12 in NL ERA after last night.

- Mark'd - Aug 6, 2011 at 1:26 PM
Baseballswami, I like that scenario. When the Nats took Romero to the Minors, as bad as he was, he is more effective than Burnett in LOOGY situations. Rizzo failed to deal with the Burnett problem and MPHROD is classic inconsistency. Mattheus got SHELLED the other day leaving Coffey who is usually good vs. 1st batter faced. Personnel decision-making is on Rizzo and he is an enigma. Yes, he has to take care of player development so on one hand you see that with Detwiler and on the other hand he has a dead-end project in Wang. He hasn't promoted any young position players during the season unless you consider Bernadina and Bixler who have been fill-in yoyos. Where is Marrero or Lombardozzi?This team is winning with players who have been part of the 2010 and previous rosters. While the bench was improved it was often overshadowed by Matt Stairs who is as bad as it gets and stayed 4 months on the roster.The bullpen is much worse than last year. Not fair to rely on 2 players to carry the load of 7 men.As someone said, there is a lot of baseball left. It's those last 50 games for respectability.Rizzo is a FAIL because he still doesn't make sound judgement with regard to the final product which is the 25 assets called the Washington Nationals.

Just trolling the news for an update on Juan Nicasio. Nothing new. Found an interview with Troy Tulowitski, after the game last night, which started with him saying to reporters that they could ask him questions, but to please stay out of the locker room last night while the team deals with what happened. I totally love my Nats, but I DO, sometimes, love other players, even when they aren't ex-Nats. He just shot to the top of that list, for his straight ahead, in-the-moment, no Baseball Talking Head interview, if I could figure out how to link to it on this device, I would. It's on the MLB site.

baseballswami said…Pretty quiet here tonight — (crickets)…August 5, 2011 8:28 PMbaseballswami said…This is kind of scary…August 5, 2011 9:22 PMI've noticed the posts slowing down as the games get dramatic. I didn't leave work 'til 8 pm, got home at 8:30, paid my respects to all the beloved, opened the bottle of Extra Viejo Gran Reserva Rum from Puerto Plata, R.D. that a Dominican buddy dropped by the office, and then the game was on and my goodness – I can't get tot the computer because I'm hanging on every pitch and fixing supper. Is JZimm's stuff sinking as much as Nicasio's? (I think we should all thank F.P. Santangelo for exposing the heavy, humidified balls being used by the home pitchers in Denver. Why would Detwiler's pitches break less than the home team pitcher? It didn't seem to happen to JZimm) And then Nicasio gets hit in the head with Desmond's line drive. Desmond, who seems to me to be depressed. How does he handle it? By going 4 for 4. JZimm's hitting and baserunning. The game was so gripping I couldn't tear myself away to post. A couple days ago, HRod gave one of the most commanding relief performances I've ever seen to beat the Braves. I can't fault Davey for using him. But that thin air is Hell on pitchers used to throwing in our Mid-Atlantic soup. e.g. Chief's blowing a 5-1 lead in the 9th at Coors on Aug. 24, 2007, This team is usually in it 'til the end, are underdogs, and rewarded the faithful last night.

Nice game last night. I didn't start watching until the 6th (saw Cowboys & Aliens with wife – meh). Definitely the Bad Henry last night. Several well hit balls, too, which has been rare for him. It happens; there is a reason that he was available in trade, right? I mean, if he was lights out every time, there is no way we get him.I keep noticing a lot of anti-Davey comments, either in bullpen management or just overall. Here is my two cents:Davey is in charge here. Rizzo greatly respects and defers to him, so nothing, Detwiler starting or something else, happens without Davey's say-so. I believe that Davey is looking towards 2012 right now, and while he wants to win now, he is experimenting with players that he isn't sure about to see who he can rely on next year. This is particularly true in the bullpen. I do not think that he is going to sell out each game to get the win (meaning that he is not going to keep going to Clip and Storen at the risk of overusing them). So prepare yourselves to keep seeing Henry, Mattheus, and even Balestar in high leverage spots, and Detwiler starting. Sure, Detwiler may be better suited to the bullpen long term, but why not see if he can make the next step to starter right now? I think that this is what DC Wonk meant a few days ago about short term pain for long term gain.I think that this is the correct way to manage for the rest of the year, and I also think that Davey is going to be really good for this team, when he gets things the way that he wants them.

This team is truly in an awkward position right now. One of the things I see that is a problem with Rizzo is that he cannot admit when he has misjudged something. He stays with it too long. His tenacity is great when dealing with agents, though. Even though I am disappointed at having DJ as our manager, I think he will probably stick with that decision, too. I would like to see them do a full out , open minded search. Rizzo was building the team, I thought with DJ's input and so it surprises me that they now are changing direction to suit him. IMO that is resulting in backtracking and losing time.We are between identities right now – pitching/defense or the big offensive play. Can both be integrated? One thing that I think defines them is the hard work/ gritty determination and never-say-die attitude. It's also seems to be a team of truly level-headed guys who are not prima donnas or egotists. We used to make fun of "the plan" but I can see pieces of it starting to gel. I hope they keep things in forward motion.

Yeah, I agree that something really needs to be done about the commenting system. It's incredibly cumbersome when it really doesn't need to be. After the writing of Mark Z, the strongest asset this site has is the posting community, imo.Also, something to think about. This team hasn't scored less than 3 runs in a game since getting swept by the Marlins, going 5-3 as a result. Over that time, as a team, they've slashed .304/.353/.471 averaging 4.6 runs/game and 10.5 hits/game.

Re Rizzo's tenacity, this from Baseball Think Factory on Verducci't Billy Beane article: To me what's killed Beane recently is hyper-activity. He never seems to want to wait and see what exactly it is he's built. He's also dealing away his home grown guys after they hit arbitration instead of when they're about to hit free agency. So Haren and Swisher and Street and Scutaro and now Ziegler all left a couple of years before they'd actually have become free agents. Guys like Zito, Giambi and Tejada got all of their years in, while Hudson and Mulder got all but one in (and they got a good return for Mulder).The Rangers were the first team I thought of as the current "Moneyballers" – a team that thinks outside the box to maximize the return on its resources. Many of their best recent moves were unconventional – signing a major-league retread (Colby Lewis) out of Japan to a multi-year deal, converting effective 75 IP/year relievers (C.J. Wilson and Alexi Ogando) into effective 200 IP/year starters, trading a top pitching prospect for a very high-risk, high-reward young hitter (Josh Hamilton), and moving a good-hit, bad-glove All-Star (Michael Young) from "premium" defensive positions to a 1B/DH/utility role to maximize his value.
- Wally - Aug 6, 2011 at 5:48 PM
Baseballswami – I don't think they are backtracking. They are finding pieces of a contender, which keeps going forward. The only difference that I see is before, the team looked to maximize wins each day, whatever it took. So they stayed with the people they felt were contributing right then. I think that is the right approach for a contending team, but it also put Clip on pace for 100 innings.I think davey concluded sometime in July that it wasn't going to happen this year, and is using some amount of the rest of this season to find out about other players who may contribute next year, when he is trying to contend for the playoffs, rather than experiment then. I think that is true mostly with the pitching staff, not position players. He talked about Milone and Peacock. He has already put Gorzy in the pen, when he has admitted that he wouldn't have done it if they were contending for a playoff spot. I think Livo is heading this way too. It is also why I think they don't really believe Bernie is a starting OF, despite what they say.So the main difference in approach is, he doesn't value finishing at .500 as much as some of us posters do. He thinks that 75 wins but finding one or two more pieces for next year is better than 81 wins with more questions.PS I also post the way Sec 3 mentioned
- flynnie - Aug 6, 2011 at 5:51 PM
When you see Emilio Bonifacio being the MVP for the Marlins, GasCanrahan as the NL All-Star closer, Marlon Byrd excelling at the Cubs, and who was the minor league pitcher the Nats traded to the Tigers couple years back? Maybe Rizzo is not patient enough. Trying to find a starter in Detwiler seems to me a good thing. See Texas Rangers, above.

@CBinDC – I wasn't the one who made the comment. Someone remarked that after Bernie got sent down and Hairston got traded the team was "very white".Doesn't seem like it to me. And if you are going to qualify Bernie as a person of color (African-American???), then surely Livo qualifies. I'm not an expert on racial politics, so I'll shut up now.

NatsLady, in the old days, Wrigley Field was famously a place black folks weren't welcome. and the capcha is "fratizin"

Sofa, I grew up in Chicago (South Side) and I had NEVER in my life been on the North Side further than a few blocks from downtown. This was my first view of the area around Wrigley Field Didn't make me feel comfortable at all.
- CBinDC - Aug 6, 2011 at 6:54 PM
NatsLady …I really do not understand such statements really ……funny thing is that those who look for such things would not have counted Hairston or Bernadena among the "opposite of white" census. And this I understand was the expressed in Minnesota or was it Northside Chicago?
- NatsLady - Aug 6, 2011 at 7:19 PM
CBinDC: I'm sorry, not trying to be rude but I couldn't comprehend your response to my post. I don't know what you are trying to say, or trying to ask. –NatsLady born and grew up in Chicago, posted from my own computer while visiting family in Minnesota.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think it was Unkyd who was making a valid point about city of DC (50% population is blacks) has no black baseball players. I think AA community will take more interest in Nationals if they had someone like them to follow. Young kids have Gilbert, etc to follow in those neighborhoods but none baseball players. If someone like Crisp were to come, I think that can help both the team and game in DC.Oh and I am not saying this team is white or anything.
- CBinDC - Aug 6, 2011 at 8:11 PM
Ok sorry to have been gotten my tenses crossed up ….I wanted to know where you heard this said about the team and who were they ……it was not clear if it was in Chicago or Minneapolis/St Paul or anywhere in the US sorry ……on the NO persons of color on the team it does seem that many on the team are AA in the same the way the President is AA …..I know that there are some in the DC area who are quick to judge the Nats but that only has to been around the handling of Frank Robinson

I wish after all those years with the Nats and even Expos someone would teach them how to bring home a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs
- Exposremains - Aug 7, 2011 at 12:36 AM
It will also be fun when the Nats farm system can produce latino prospects. I really miss that from the Expos.

Okay, the same thing happened with the McCaffreys, and that didn't quite work out, but it has worked before. It's common practice (or was, I dunno) for replacement producers and script editors in the BBC to trail their predecessors in the job for some time to learn what to do. If Rhianna Pratchett loves the Discworld, then that's a good start. She's just got to be unafraid of giving the characters hell if need be.

This firm appears in the Who's Who Legal 100 2014
Click on the name of a lawyer below to view their profile. Lawyers shaded in blue have professional biographies in one or more practice areas.
What is the Who's Who Legal 100?
In 2013, Bingham placed a huge emphasis on bolstering a wide variety of practice areas across its global network. The year began with the announcement that a staggering 12 lawyers had been elected to its partnership in eight offices across M&A, environment, estate planning, financial restructuring investment management and the Japanese practice groups.
Banking | 2 | Insolvency & Restructuring | 12 |
Capital Markets | 1 | Insurance & Reinsurance | 1 |
Commercial Litigation | 4 | Private Funds | 1 |
Competition | 3 | Project Finance | 1 |
Corporate Tax | 5 | Real Estate | 3 |
Environment | 4 | Telecoms & Media | 1 |
Information Technology | 1 | ||
The year continued with another partner hire in New York to enhance the office's transactional network in Latin America. In DC, two further lateral hires expanded the capabilities of its "top-ranked" tax group, while in London, the firm added an EU competition specialist, underscoring Bingham's focus on growing its antitrust capabilities in Europe. Another four lateral hires in Tokyo strengthened the M&A, IP and litigation and the investment management group in east Asia. In Los Angeles, five partners were added to its IP and litigation group, as well as one partner to its corporate practice group. Last but not least, in Palo Alto, three partners strengthened the firm's technology and IP practices.
Total Listings in WWL | 39 | Established | 1891 |
Home jurisdiction | US | Total size of firm | c. 1000 |
Number of partners | 423 | Number of offices | 14 + 1 global services centre |
The firm has a particularly strong transnational practice in insolvency and restructuring. James Roome is managing partner of the London office and co-chair of the firm's global financial restructuring group. He provides "exceptional advice" in a range of continental insolvency, workouts and restructurings, including numerous restructurings of distressed bonds, notes and loans. Barry Russell, who is head of the firm's London finance group, has "extensive experience" in advising noteholders, bondholders and other creditor groups in many of the most significant European workouts and restructurings. Also in London, Tom Bannister's "excellent" practice concentrates on European cross-border financial restructurings and workouts, while James Terry is widely regarded as a "leading" restructuring lawyer, who excels at representing hedge funds, bondholders, institutional lenders, secondary market investors and creditor committees. The New York office fields the "brilliant" Ronald Silverman, he works on complex international restructurings, distressed M&A, out-of-court workouts, reorganisation and liquidation proceedings. Jeffrey Sabin, co-head of Bingham's global financial restructuring group, is "extremely well respected" by his clients for his longstanding work on creditors' rights, bankruptcy, debt restructuring and financial transactions. The firm is also well represented in Asia. In Hong Kong, Naomi Moore possesses "outstanding" experience of the Asian, Australian and UK markets and advises on high-profile restructurings with a focus on solvent and insolvent schemes, while the managing partner of the Tokyo office, Hideyuki Sakai, is one of Japan's leading authorities on insolvency proceedings around the world.
Commercial litigation is another "first-rate" practice at firm. Jonathan Albano, managing partner of the firm's Boston office, focuses his "fantastic practice" on commercial, constitutional and appellate litigation. Joseph Kociubes, also in Boston, is an "expert" trial lawyer focusing on commercial, licensing, energy, financial services, real estate, securities, insurance and constitutional litigation. David Balabanian in San Francisco is a "venerable" high-stakes commercial litigator with particular expertise in securities, energy and antitrust cases and takeover litigation.
Real estate is a major area of expertise of the firm and Bingham represents many of the country's largest and most sophisticated financial institutions in this field. Richard Fries is co-chair of the firm's real estate practice group and one of the most highly respected distressed real estate lawyers in the US. Barry Rosenthal is a "technically able" lawyer who undertakes even the most complex transactions. Richard Toelke is deputy co-chair of the real estate group. He represents developers, institutional property owners, pension fund advisers, REITs, lenders, and other owners and operators in all aspects of transactional real estate practices.
Last year, in the US alone, the firm racked up more than 50,000 hours on pro bono services. One of just a few examples of its pro bono activities in recent years was representing the California Alliance of Child and Family Services, which brought a suit against the state of California based on its failure to provide the requisite funding to group homes under the federal Child Welfare Act.
Bingham employs a diversity executive committee that is assigned targets and is accountable for the promotion of equal opportunities across the firm. Examples of initiatives include a women's mentoring programme that offers targeted training and social programming for the firm's female lawyers, and more general scholarships and mentoring designed to enhance its recruitment, retention and development of diverse talent. The firm has also created strategic partnerships with external organisations such as JFK50: Justice for All and leadership council on legal diversity.
The firm is determined to have substantial leverage in the major financial centres throughout America, Europe and Asia. A global approach enables the firm to understand how capital markets fit together, how taxes shape global financial policy, how regulations compete and conflict and how cross-border legal strategies coordinate, in order to better advise its clients. Indeed, as is evident from Bingham's hiring policy over the last year, the firm intends not only to preserve the status and talent of its practice areas worldwide but to actively expand it.
It is not possible to buy entry into any Who's Who Legal publication

HOPKINS COUNTY, Ky. (5/11/13) – In commemoration of National Police Officers Memorial Week, the Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 2 Madisonville will honor fallen troopers at a ceremony on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. CST at the cemetery at Salem Missionary Baptist Church.
Trooper Cecil W. Uzzle, age 28, was fatally injured in a vehicle collision on May 28, 1964, while accompanying Trooper Elmer Mobley Jr. in response to a call for assistance in Pike County. Their vehicle struck large rocks that had fallen in the roadway and were hidden by heavy rain and dense fog. Trooper Mobley was also killed. Trooper Uzzle was assigned to Post 9 Pikeville and had served with the Kentucky State Police for two years. He is buried in the cemetery at Salem Missionary Baptist Church near Morton's Gap in Hopkins County. In honor of his service and sacrifice, KY 1460 in Pike County has been designated the Trooper Cecil W. Uzzle Memorial Highway.

Unsurprising title.. LGP hasn't paid Mr. Douchebag any money like Valve or OMGOILRUSH!!11
And we haven't read anything recently about your retina screen, please fix that.
Meanwhile back at the Hall of Justice...
EA Sports is still pushing out the same old Madden upgrade
The new Call of Duty Quake 3 booster pack is coming out soon
The more people pushing Software Center the better.
Report on the real news. Why is Canonical pushing the same old out-dated Windows Manager crap from the 90's.
- I can't set my Font DPI in Unity
- I can't move my dock-bar in Unity
- I can't easily choose Mate desktop without a 3rd party respository
- I can't easily click an option during or after installation to play DVD's ... It's a script hidden.
Unsurprising title.. LGP hasn't paid Mr. Douchebag any money like Valve or OMGOILRUSH!!11
And we haven't read anything recently about your retina screen, please fix that.
seems some people can get LGP to talk to them, a interview with the new LGP boss is up at http://linuxgamingnews.org/2012/09/0...me-publishing/
Well, it has finally been released on Desura:
If it runs great, is fun and doesn't cost too much then it's not crap.
The news are great but the delivery is crap IMO.
Anyway, I won't pretend I'm not going to come back here because of that, although more objective news would be more intellectually and emotionally pleasing.
That's kinda the point, I heard that a lot of the LGP games don't even run at ALL anymore in newer distros (Ubuntu 12.10). They need to be patched and it's on LGP's "TODO" list.. That's why they haven't pushed all their titles into the Ubuntu Software Center and Desura already as the binaries simply don't execute anymore. PERIOD.
I would happily buy Mind Rover when it's up on Desura or Steam, but it seems they're a ways away from actually getting the majority of their games working on a recent distro.
Usually the problematic part is that those binaries are 32 bit only. Depending on the system it can be more tricky to get 3d drivers in a 32 bit environment when the system is 64 bit. I do not think that on a pure 32 bit system it would be too hard to get a game running. Maybe a few symlinks for openal and others if non-standard names have been used or just get rid of the shipped libs when the default names are used.
All besides the point really - one should not have to force something to get it to work. Especially when it is forcing the program to do something it is really not supposed to do.

I decided on this ring after doing some research online, I knew I did not want to deal with a jewelry store and pay the markup, and I find them very intimidating. I chose this ring because of the princess cut stones, and I liked the smaller round stones around the gallery on both sides, giving it a bit of a vintage feel. My husband bought me this as an anniversary band, I would have liked yellow gold, as my original wedding set is yellow gold, but I chose this, the white gold really appealed to me. I am VERY pleased and impressed with the quality and the price. It is very sparkly, and I would recommend it highly. Looks more expensive than it was. A very classy looking ring.
I have been looking at wedding rings for the last 5 months. I have searched some of the most well known and respected online jewelers and jewelry stores to try and match my unique engagement ring. When I found this on Overstock.com, I was completely shocked----the ring is exactly like the band of my engagement ring: princess diamonds along the top with pave stones set on both sides and milgrain detailing. The ring is a perfect match. I was very nervous to buy from an online outlet source, but I really couldn't be any happier. It sparkles beautifully and looks amazing all on its own, which was important to me. The closest I found from other sources were 60% more in price with a quarter carat less in weight. I would have paid over double for this ring at any other jeweler---especially since I used a 10% off coupon and it was already on sale. On top of that, I used standard shipping and it arrived in two days to Northern Michigan. You can't do better than that! I highly recommend this stunning ring. ***Other reviewers have commented on flawed diamonds. If they had read the clarity description given by Overstock, then they should have known that they would not receive flawless diamonds. HOWEVER, I had to look VERY hard with my naked eye to find ONE flawed diamond. I really don't care what it looks like with a scope, because it looks perfect to me.
I'm using this ring as my wedding ring and I couldn't be happier. I loved the use of both princess cut and round cut diamonds. I also really liked the milgrain edging (my fiance's ring also has milgrain edging). The clarity is great, although you can see the imperfections on the diamond. However, for the price, this was a great deal. The ring comes with a description card for your convenience and the shipping was fast!
i love this ring..it has a very vintage feel to it which I was hoping for. It is very sparkly and just an excellent ring..love it! Goes perfect with my three stone engagement ring but not ABSOLUTELY perfect which is what gives it such a beautiful touch:)
L-O-V-E this ring!!! However, I have to return it. It's just a tad too thick and overshadows my diamond engagement ring. Very unfortunate, as it's a beautiful piece of jewelry.
Sparkles like nobody's business from every angle - esp in the sunshine! However, it was more lightweight/delicate and I assumed from the picture. I am returning it, only because I'm looking for something a little more substantial.
My does wife really like this ring, but we both think it looks larger and more impressive in the website photos. Also, the edges aren't sharp, but very square.
This ring is absolutely fantastic!!!!!! It is just as pictured and even more beautiful in person. I would HIGHLY recommend this ring. Not only is it greatly priced, but truly a great piece to add to your wedding set (as I did) or as a right hand ring. Diamonds are clear and sparkle even in dim lighting. Will defnitely be ordering again from Overstock!
This ring is gorgeous and looks great on! I would highly recommend.

I started with an old 16X20 canvas that I had and a pack of white crepe streamers from the Dollar Tree. They are in the party section and come in a pack of two.
Unroll the streamer enough to go across the canvas twice and then another quarter of the way. This will be the size of the strips you need to cut for your ruffle. I used a total of 23 ruffle strips to completely cover the 16X20 canvas.
Set your sewing machine to the longest stitch setting and loosen the tension on your top thread. Align your cut streamer and slowly begin to stitch {do not back stitch}
Sew a section, about 4 inches long, then reach around and pull your starting stitch taut. You don't want to pull to hard just put a little tension on the thread as you sew. Holding the thread slowly stitch and let the machine do the rest. It will ruffle automatically.
Once your streamer is sewn you want to attach it to the canvas. I started at the bottom and worked my way up so the ruffles would overlap each other. Starting on one side of the canvas, use a dab of hot glue to attach the ruffle strip. Leave enough extra on the end to wrap around the side. Apply hot glue as you move along the front of your canvas and gently press in place to hold.
Once the top is glued in place apply more glue to wrap the ruffle around the sides of the canvas and onto the back. I worked in rows of three.
The ruffles are so fluffy and pretty.
I love the texture of them too!
It's hard to even tell this is created with inexpensive crepe streamer.
I'll be back tomorrow to show you how to make the flower embellishment. {just as easy} I still have something I want to try to add before I consider this done.
Here is a sneak peek of the fabric I fell in love with for the room. My powder room is small and that makes it super easy to spruce up every so often! I can't wait to share more inexpensive creations I have planned for this space. You can find the flower tutorial {here} Enjoy!

12.01.2014 /
PHOENIX, Arizona – Red Bull KTM Factory rider Ryan Dungey earned 3rd overall after a hard fought battle for the lead for the majority of the twenty-lap main event at the second round of the Monster Energy Supercross Series held at Chase Field.
Ryan Dungey was on the gas all day turning quick times in his afternoon practices which earned him a top gate pick for his heat race. He nailed the holeshot in his heat and went on to lead every lap in order to take the win and earn a top qualifying spot for the main event.
Dungey pulled off another great start with his KTM 450 SX-F in the main coming off the line in third as the riders rounded the first corner. He quickly jumped into 2nd place before the completion of the first lap while closing in on the rear wheel of the leader, Justin Brayton. The two riders charged ahead never more than two bike lengths apart.
Early in the race, Dungey's teammate, Ken Roczen, who transferred into the main event from a semi-race win after missing qualifying from his heat by one position, was challenging for the podium. Roczen was on the rear wheel of Dungey with Justin Barcia close behind. The three swapped positions back and forth for a lap before Barcia took a line that cut across Roczen's clipping front wheel during the move. Roczen went down and lost approximately five positions. Roczen recovered quickly from the crash and was able to move his way back up to 6th place before the checkered flag came out.
Meanwhile, Dungey continued to challenge Brayton while Villopoto moved up behind. The three were nearly side by side with five laps to go when Villopoto made a block pass on Dungey. Villopoto quickly moved around Brayton for the lead but did not pull far from Brayton and Dungey as the race continued. The three riders remained close for the remainder of the race but did not swap positions again. Dungey eventually crossed the line in 3rd place.
"I really wanted the win tonight", commented Dungey. "I felt great all day today and was really confident in my riding. I just couldn't make the pass when I needed to tonight but I am glad to remain consistent and finish on the podium."
Now two races into the series, Dungey sits 2nd overall in the point standings, while his teammate, Roczen, sits right behind in 3rd.

Blue Jays seek traction with Twins in town
Veteran righty Correia up against Buehrle in first of three games
The Twins will travel to Toronto to take on the Blue Jays in a three-game set beginning on Friday at Rogers Centre.
It's the second of four consecutive series against American League East clubs for Minnesota. After taking on the Blue Jays, the Twins will face the Rays in St. Petersburg, then the Yankees -- who just swept them -- in New York as the season's first half concludes.
The series at Rogers Centre features two teams that have scuffled of late. The Twins have dropped five in a row, including their last four to the Yankees at Target Field.
"You want to win all the time, regardless of what's been going on the last week," Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe said. "So that's our mentality and is going to be our mentality until the end. We're a better team than we've been showing the last week or so."
Toronto, meanwhile, is trying to get back to the form it displayed in its red-hot mid-June streak. The Blue Jays have faltered since their 11-game win streak ended, losing eight of 11 games since June 24.
During their surge, the Blue Jays outscored their opponents, 70-27. Since then, they have been outscored, 57-41.
Mark Buehrle will take the mound for Toronto opposite the Twins' Kevin Correia.
Lineups have turned over through the years, but Buehrle is very familiar with the Twins from his time on the South Side of Chicago. He's had particular success against left-handed hitters Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau.
Most of Buehrle's matchups with the two sluggers came while he was a member of the White Sox, but the southpaw has limited Mauer to 12 hits in 56 at-bats (.214). Morneau is just 11-for-55 (.200) against Buehrle.
"He's kind of found that groove," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of Buehrle. "He was on a nice little roll for a while ... but I think historically he's been a slow starter. Once it kicks in around May, he just rolls it. He just competes. Good, bad -- he just competes. That's what you want them all to do. He doesn't give in to anything. Generally, he keeps you in the game, and that's all you can ask."
Twins: Correia hopes to snap streak
• The Twins will turn to their most consistent starter, Kevin Correia, to attempt to snap their losing streak.
The right-hander was on the mound when the skid began on Sunday and took a no-decision against the Royals. He pitched five innings and allowed five runs on seven hits in a game the Twins lost, 9-8. The right-hander walked three and struck out three, seeing his ERA rise to 4.08.
Blue Jays: Buehrle making first start since Bailey's second no-no
• Friday will be Buehrle's first start since he welcomed Reds right-hander Homer Bailey to an exclusive club among active pitchers.
With his no-hitter against the Giants on Tuesday, Bailey joined Buehrle, Roy Halladay and Justin Verlander as the only active pitchers with multiple no-hitters.
Buehrle said the outing was impressive, but he wasn't nostalgic about his own accomplishments, which include a perfect game in 2009 while he was with the White Sox.
"It's not like every day, or every once in a while, I just sit there and start thinking about the perfect game or the no-hitter at all," Buehrle said. "I'm just more focused on what's going to happen now, and my next start. I don't really look back in the past."
Worth noting
• Blue Jays slugger Edwin Encarnacion is 6-for-19 with two homers in his career against Correia. Shortstop Jose Reyes is 7-for-21 with a homer and a triple. No other Blue Jays hitter has more than nine at-bats against the righty.
• The Twins' first-round pick in last month's First-Year Player Draft, Kohl Stewart, made his professional debut on Thursday. The right-handed pitcher, taken No. 4 overall out of St. Pius X High School in Houston, struck out two while allowing one run on two hits in two innings against the Rays' affiliate in the Gulf Coast League.
• Twins left fielder Josh Willingham underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his left meniscus on Wednesday. He's expected to miss four to six weeks.
