Tyler Moore rounds the bases after his eighth-inning homer.
PITTSBURGH — Gio Gonzalez stood on the mound at PNC Park in the bottom of the first inning, the afternoon off to as bad a start as the Nationals could possibly have imagined.
Bryce Harper had been ejected after arguing a check-swing call in the top of the inning. Starling Marte had crushed Gonzalez's very first pitch into the left-field bleachers. Ryan Zimmerman had committed another throwing error on a routine grounder. And now the bases were loaded with nobody out, the Pirates threatening to blow this series finale open before the Nationals would even know what hit them.
The situation was ripe for disaster, especially for an emotional pitcher like Gonzalez, who has been known to let a bad situation turn worse. Experience, though, has taught the 27-year-old lefty how to better handle such situations.
"When you get older, you get a little more experience, you start figuring out things, little-by-little," he said. "I think a younger me would have probably spiraled out of control and tried to be too much or tried to do too much."
Instead of trying to do too much, Gonzalez did only what he could do: Take back control of this ballgame. He wriggled his way out of that first-inning jam, then dominated the rest of the way to lead the Nationals to a hard-earned, 6-2 victory over Pittsburgh.

Gio, Cat–THANKS!! Remember this for next time, because it will happen again.
- MicheleS - May 5, 2013 at 10:58 PM
Good for Gio! He buckled down and really did and excellent job. Glad he got the Curly W
- Harpo - May 5, 2013 at 11:02 PM
Gio today really showed he can pitch. Escaped out of early trouble and used lots of changeups. Usally he would throw 1 or 2 in a game and today kept them off balance.Like I said before, NatsJack or Ghost will say they said that before and NatsJack told it to Rizzo.
- Harpo - May 5, 2013 at 11:03 PM
Espinosa with 2 days in a row of batting righthanded is a good hitter.
- peric - May 5, 2013 at 11:31 PM
Just look at who the Pirates have at shortstop. And keep in mind that defensively both Desmond and Espinosa are at least as good.
- peric - May 5, 2013 at 11:35 PM
I don't care about the ejection … he needed a rest apparently he can't play with pain as much as he likes to think he can given the slump he's mire in. I'd rather see the shark family with their kid's shark hat reshown and not the ejection.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - May 5, 2013 at 11:36 PM
Ghost Of Steve M. said… EmDash, I've been wondering myself how Gio can look so inconsistent. The Braves weren't making any contact on his curveball by the RH batters. They went in with an approach and executed and were making contact or striking out as they were swinging fastball and guessing right and wrong a lot. When they guessed right, they were hitting him well especially early in the count.Gio really needed to throw changeups to truly be effective and help himself out. You basically know with Gio that you are getting a fastball or a curveball.It's always difficult to assess command unless it's as far off as Strasburg's was Monday night. I thought Gio's command was as usual. He misses quite a few badly on even his best nights.May 01, 2013 1:32 PM Harpo @7:02 let this rock your world! I do think NatsJack phoned this into Rizzo. Rock on!
- Drew - May 5, 2013 at 11:36 PM
Good thing for the Nats Espinosa went deep. Good thing for him, too. Anthony Rendon started at 2b today at Harrisburg.At Syracuse, Chris Young pitched better, giving up two earned with one walk in 5.3 innings.As for Potomac, I was surprised to see in the box score that Skole doubled. It wasn't Matt — it was his brother, Jake, an outfielder for Myrtle Beach.

It seemed to me that there were lots of Nats fans in Pittsburgh. I actually could hear cheering on the broadcast. Is that a correct impression? I am sure that they were excellent ambassadors! That's an awesome place to go to a game.
- Exposremains - May 5, 2013 at 11:51 PM
Zim's throws on days like today are not a big deal but in a playoff game it could cost the Nats a game or a series. As Natsjack suggested, Laroche could get really hurt. His throws Are not getting better they are getting worse. As fans, we can only hope it goes away. I seriously hope management have a better game plan then that. Yes he's the face of the franchise But this is getting ridiculous.
- David Proctor - May 5, 2013 at 11:53 PM
I think Peric is correct that the plan is to move Zim to first base. But not now.
- MicheleS - May 5, 2013 at 11:53 PM
Swami, the folks that do the NATS chant after every run (from the 300 Sections) were there and lots of Nats fans from far NOVA went. So yes, good turn out by the Nats fans. Plus 222, and Manassas were their so lots of Nats fans representing!Also.. Sutcliff, Schilling, and Larkin all side with Bryce

Rendon's day with Harrisburg: Two singles, two strikeouts, and a walk. (Harrisburg got clobbered, 6-1.)
- baseballswami - May 6, 2013 at 12:25 AM
I think the problem I have with the ejection is that there is no common standard. When Votto was here he threw giant tantrums every AB and threw stuff. If a guy is snotty in repeated at bats, that's an issue. He was not even warned. Since when is raising your arms a threatening gesture? I hate it when the umps escalate a situation. Too easy to target a player, ignore another, and affect the game. I remember the other ejection, Bryce was out at first and threw his helmet down. I have seen many, many players do much, much worse than either one of those incidents. It's just very biased.
- peric - May 6, 2013 at 12:28 AM
I think Peric is correct that the plan is to move Zim to first base. But not now.Not yet but soon albeit I do believe a lot hinges on Zim's bat. If his bat doesn't produce the way it should then they will need a bigger bat at first base and he could end up at second base. This is only Rendon's second game at second base. Its likely they are doing this to prepare him as major league depth UTL wise. That is he could potentially be depth at third, short and second. He has played all three at least once now … as well as DH. If Desmond goes down you move Espinosa to short and Lombo to second and perhaps they again recall Rendon. (But what about Kobernus?) If Zim goes down you recall Rendon. If Espinosa goes down Lombo moves in and you recall Rendon to fill the bench spot. That's the scenario I guess.
- paul brandt - May 6, 2013 at 12:28 AM
long time admirer of NI and until tonight have kept to myself but good golly harpo what is with you? was going to say go walk your dog but really hope you don't have one. good peeps on here sharing excellent insight. real impressed with the knowledge exchanged having played in HS, college and coaching little league but am no expert and don't pretend to be. love the win and taking 4 of the last 5, go Nats!
- Knoxville Nat - May 6, 2013 at 12:29 AM
Okay, I'm not as up to date on some statistical measurements as others are here, so would someone (Peric, I'm looking at you) tell me just what does ISO stand for and how is it calculated?

Right now Kobernus has a .414 OBP. Plus 12 steals. He might look awfully good at the top of the lineup.But he is not the fielder that Espinosa, Desmond, and Rendon are.
- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 12:31 AM
swami – I think it's possible lines are crossed verbally and we just don't hear it…but, who knows. Certainly it the visual cues make the ejection appear completely ludicrous, especially compared with Votto. That dude can be a little baby.
- peric - May 6, 2013 at 12:32 AM
Isolated power is a measure of a hitter's raw power.
- peric - May 6, 2013 at 12:32 AM

paul brandt, how transparent, who are you Ghost or NatsJack? Lets be real and capitalize your first letter in a sentence.
- peric - May 6, 2013 at 12:39 AM
In 2012 Tyler Moore's major league ISO was .250 his AAA ISO was .347.In 2012 Adam LaRoche's ISO was .238. Michael Morse's was .180 (right now its .269) In 2012 Zim's ISO was .196 Bryce Harper's was .206, Just for comparison …As Davey put it today: Tyler Moore is a run producer. Pure and simple and your #4 hitter.
- paul brandt - May 6, 2013 at 12:47 AM
Harpo, Is this better? I am neither Ghost nor NatsJack. Let's agree to talk baseball and share insights without being mean. Not too much to ask. This is why I have never posted until today. I am bothered by the hatred frankly. Think I will go back to admiring from afar. Eric,as a grateful dead fan & still loving the music, also love the avatar.
- peric - May 6, 2013 at 12:54 AM
Make that 13 steals for Kobernus.In the who gets recalled for the bullpen contest it sure looks like its Erik Davis from the right side and Fernando Abad from the left. JC Romero got lit up today … those two appear to be leaving the rest of the pack behind.
- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 1:00 AM
Glad to know of another fellow traveler, paul!
- baseballswami - May 6, 2013 at 1:04 AM
Paul– I hear you, but if the voices of reason go away, we lose a fun place to virtually shoot the breeze about our favorite sport. Well, it's my favorite sport. I have occasionally lost my perspective and ticked everyone off, but I don't attack other posters personally. That's what bothers me the most – the name calling. I sometimes have to step back, but this is actually one of the more civilized sites. Please don't be afraid to share your thoughts. Just ignore the trolls . I am sure you can see there are fun people to chat with. Who is your favorite Nat? Do you get to many games?
- peric - May 6, 2013 at 1:07 AM
Hurumph we'll see if Adam can stave off T-Mo. I don't think he can. In fact IMO both he and Werth are at risk of losing their jobs … But I guess we'll see won't we? We shall see what we shall see …Just as I said with Mr. "Rincon".

Good to see the Nats relaxing; good to see the pitching coming together — How bout that haren last time out?Davey is still a good talker, and not much game manager, but I like it that Zim steals third on his own! Unfortunately, we now face the Tigers. A huge, huge test for the Nats — I got a feeling the haters will be back by Tuesday.
- Less Platu - May 6, 2013 at 1:13 AM
Thoughts on Laroche from another Thread.I personally believe Laroche is definitely NOT washed up.BUT: I also believe last year was ALR's career year — we will never see better. He may come close to matching last year's numbers, but I don't think so. We'll see a slow but steady decline in this old 33 year old journeyman firstbaseman – and never will we regret signing him for just two years.
- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 1:15 AM
"Hurumph we'll see if Adam can stave off T-Mo. I don't think he can. In fact IMO both he and Werth are at risk of losing their jobs … "Seriously? That gives me a chuckle.He did ultimately get the job done the past two days, although it took him long enough!
- baseballswami - May 6, 2013 at 1:15 AM
Observations about two Nats– Drew Storen has become invisible. He used to be on twitter, do fun stuff online, be interviewed and have a quirky personality. This color- less version of Drew does not feel right. He needs to be himself. Bernie- invisible in another way, but can still defend and disrupt a pitcher's rhythm when he is on base. In the 8th today, the pitcher lost his cool because of Bernie- his speed avoided a double play. Always soft spoken, a gentleman, a long term Nat/ Expo. I hope he can still play a role.
- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 1:18 AM
"I hope he can still play a role."It's pretty clear he can…he straight up saved the day yesterday and kept it somewhat laid back today. I was really glad to see it. The two hits today didn't hurt, either!
- paul brandt - May 6, 2013 at 1:25 AM
swami, thanks. having seen rzim's 1st hit at rfk in september, 2005 he has always been a favorite but was/still am a big donkey fan as well as livo and chad cordero. i get to 5+ or so games a year but watch them every night if in town.
- baseballswami - May 6, 2013 at 1:26 AM
A little playing time goes a long way. Silver lining of the ejection. I was watching a replay of the TyMo homer. How the heck did he hit that ball out? He had to extend to get to it. Did not look like he hit it very hard. That is one country strong boy.

Paul- I had the extreme privilege of watching Ryan's walk off on opening night at Nats Park. Will never forget it. But I also have fond memories of RFK.
- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 1:29 AM
Agreed, swami. It was a really weird swing to get a homer off of, but I'll take it!
- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 1:30 AM
RFK was just too much fun, both for GD shows and Nats games .
- tayo - May 6, 2013 at 1:30 AM
@HarpoJust read your comments in previous thread regarding Zim. My point wasn't that he doesn't make some subtle changes in his stance. My point was that he is never going to move up significantly in the batters box. Thats his style and thats what he feels comfortable doing. His slumps doesn't have that much to do with how far off the plate he stands.And is Calling me Manti Tayo supposed to offend me? Just so you know Tayo and Teo aren't the same pronunciation.
- A DC Wonk - May 6, 2013 at 1:33 AM
Davey is still a good talker, and not much game manager, but I like it that Zim steals third on his own! Zim stole third after Davey gave a "permission to steal" signal.So, maybe Davey _can_ manage a game. (you know, after 2300 games, a couple of pennants, and two manager of the year awards an all…)
- peric - May 6, 2013 at 1:36 AM
That is one country strong boy.Also known as the Magnolia Muscle.
- peric - May 6, 2013 at 1:38 AM
Seriously? That gives me a chuckle.He did ultimately get the job done the past two days, although it took him long enough! I am very grateful and glad for the walks. Far better than the K's. But its a usually a sure sign that he doesn't have it anymore. A #3/#4/#5 hitter usually has a high ISO. Right now Danny Espinosa's is quite a bit higher.
- Harpo - May 6, 2013 at 1:39 AM
Hey Tayo, you are so typical here in Rule #1. You take no time to research what is readily available on the WorldWideWeb. I gave you visual evidence and you still want to say you are right. I don't have time for you.
- peric - May 6, 2013 at 1:41 AM
Right now its Davey's chance to find out (and Tyler Moore's to prove) if T-Mo can be that guy.The numbers say he definitely can be. But in the end consistency ends up as the final indicator.
- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 1:42 AM
"But its a usually a sure sign that he doesn't have it anymore. "Yeah. I wonder why the Pirates walked him to get to TMo, what with his washed up 2013 season all but over…weird.

"I don't have time for you."In other news, this is not a statement.
- Harpo - May 6, 2013 at 1:43 AM
Hey Peric, haven't you posted a few 100 times on Ryan Zimmerman moving to 1st base. We heard you the 1st 100. What else can you discuss.
- baseballswami - May 6, 2013 at 1:49 AM
Is there any other team that has someone so young with the role of run producer off the bench? Tyler does have significant rbi's in minimal playing time. Just a rough spot for someone at his career stage. I would love to see him play first sometimes so his defensive skills don't erode.
- Harpo - May 6, 2013 at 1:51 AM
Peric, Ryan Zimmerman is getting better each game and regaining muscle memory. He will be fine and not moving anywhere. Bring it up at the end of 2014 when its a valid point.
- peric - May 6, 2013 at 1:52 AM
Yeah. I wonder why the Pirates walked him to get to TMo, what with his washed up 2013 season all but over…weird.To get to T-Mo? Yeah the Pirates made a HUGE mistake. But, then Clint Hurdle does make some odd decisions none seem to be based on statistical evidence such as T-Mo usually breaks out fast (AAA ISO .347 in 2012). And LaRoche (due to his back doesn't) so … In any case read it and weep Eric:Adam LaRoche ISO :.126 (3 doubles and 3 home runs 110 PA's )Danny Espinosa ISO: .185 (8 doubles and 3 home runs 98 PA's)Tyler Moore ISO: .179 (4 doubles 1 home run in only 43 PA's)But with the walks Adam has raised his OBP to .264 whereas Espy had a .224 and T-Mo a .215. So, maybe Adam should lead-off? He's a singles hitter and suddenly good at taking a walk?

- peric - May 6, 2013 at 1:56 AM
I would love to see him play first sometimes so his defensive skills don't erode.Swami they made a conscious decision to put him in the outfield this spring. IMO he should be in AAA playing left and right field on consecutive days. But … Now, why would they put T-Mo in the outfield when they have guys like the Shark? Like Corey Brown? Erik Komatsu? Eventually Brian Goodwin? Especially since LaRoche will not be brought back after he two year stint is up? As Sherlock Holmes said, "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" -> Zim tentatively scheduled to move to first base.
- peric - May 6, 2013 at 1:57 AM
Oh and both Jeff Kobernus and Eury Perez are in the outfield as well. And there's still Destin Hood in AA. Still young.

I might hop on you train if these numbers hold up for another couple of months.Kind of what they said about Rendon … and Lannan … prepare to look foolish.When LaRoche is aggressive he's a "K" machine. When he sits back and takes pitches he does a good job of working walks. Looks to me like he might be done.
- peric - May 6, 2013 at 2:00 AM
A tentative truth…now there's a concept .Prepare to look both ridiculously silly and foolish dude. We have long memories here. You've been warned.
- tayo - May 6, 2013 at 2:01 AM
I guess, I have no time for you either. The picture you presented indicates very little. I watch almost every Nationals game, the distance in the batters box doesn't change much form when he is hot at the plate or cold. Other things in his stance may differ but that the aforementioned distance is pretty consistent.
- peric - May 6, 2013 at 2:03 AM
The fact that Moore isn't in AAA getting experience in the outfield tells me they expect him to be in the lineup (and not on the bench) at some point this season. He needs to play everyday he isn't considered a bench or utility guy. The Nats consider both he and Lombo as everyday players.
- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 2:04 AM
"Prepare to look both ridiculously silly and foolish dude. We have long memories here. You've been warned."Oh, I've seen the "memories" around here; likewise, the "I told you so"s and the "a few months back I said 'xyz'"s. To say I'm not sweating this apparent threat is an enormous understatement. But, by all means, flex away, it's so sexy!

"NatsJack in Florida said… I would like to know exactly how many people on this site think Adam LaRoche is washed up?"Until he gets his average up to .230, he's washed up.

- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 2:05 AM

This is getting harder and harder to skip posts since it now seems that Harpo and Peric have absolutely dominated things.Eric – how are you? hope you enjoyed those two wins. Swami – good to see that you are doing wellUnkyd- you and Eric should get together, both musicians and love baseballPaul – nice to see that I am not the only one who doesn't need to read the hate on herePeric – looks like you might be right about Moore but I still think LaRoche will get the majority of playing time. (stil skipping your posts but thought I would let you know when I think you are right about something)Knoxville – are you the one going to San Diego? if so, hit the Gaslight district before heading for the Park. Great craft beers all over that area and you can park there and walk to the park. Beers at the park better than most places but ballpark prices. The park is a combination of various other places. They try and do a warehouse thing (Camden) down the left field line. Nice views of the city on the concourse. I actually sat up in 309 and it was comparable to my seats at Nationals Park. Fans were honestly not into the game at all even though it was the Cardinals. There was no wave however.Now, my thoughts on the last two days of baseball minus all the idiotic back and forth on here that is basically childish at best.We won this series with Werth out, Span out for one game and Harper hurting and out as well. Pretty impressive. Our bullpen is starting to gel. Our starters are starting to go 7 innings which I don't think we saw much last year. We are still not hitting and I think we are the only team with a winning record that has a minus in run differential. LaRoche might be coming around but I am not sure about that. Zimm might have his hitting stroke but his throws are still bothersome to me. I have no clue about Espinosa and don't know what will happen there. Actually, I have no clue what will happen in any area. Just love baseball and loved this blog until the nastiness just became overwhelming. Just might read Mark and Chase and not even go to comments.

That's the only thing I'm truly concerned about at the moment. It's just…weird."Beers at the park better than most places but ballpark prices."I've been curious about this.

On a semi related note, apparently freaking GERMANY has started importing and becoming influenced by American craft beer. ?!?!?!?!?As a brewer, I think it makes sense. American brewing really pushes the limits and has really started to evolve into a brewing culture in its own right (as opposed to being defined as variations on various "old world" styles).

Peric – looks like you might be right about Moore but I still think LaRoche will get the majority of playing time. (stil skipping your posts but thought I would let you know when I think you are right about something)I barely made any during the game … strangely enough it was mostly dominated by Natsjack. Who probably is kicking himself after saying Tyler Moore was a "marginal" player? I can't wait for Moore to crush a few more to silence him again. And the constant "Espinosa stinks"? Negativity?So, do you scroll past NatsJack's posts dude?
- sjm308 - May 6, 2013 at 2:51 AM
Harpo – couple of thingsI am retired so I can waste time on thisYou have 16 posts out of 88 on this article alone. What is sick though is you don't talk baseball, you basically cut others down or make fun of them or are just plain stupid. Here is what I follow. I follow baseball, not trying to prove I am smarter or nastier than others. Not sure what your mission in life is but you have now joined Peric as someone I will scroll past. Write away my friend (that was sarcastic in case you didn't get it). I will not be reading.

"groucho said… Peric – looks like you might be right about Moore but I still think LaRoche will get the majority of playing time. (stil skipping your posts but thought I would let you know when I think you are right about something)I barely made any during the game … strangely enough it was mostly dominated by Natsjack. Who probably is kicking himself after saying Tyler Moore was a "marginal" player? I can't wait for Moore to crush a few more to silence him again. And the constant "Espinosa stinks"?

Eric – this is not a beer blog but another retired friend and I try and visit various bars in the DC/MD/Va area once a week. It helps if they have great pizza. I did see the article. Not that you need my recommendation but visit Meridian Pint in Columbia Hts. if you can. That and Churchkey are two of our favorites.
- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 2:57 AM
Oh yeah, I wanted to go back to an earlier comment by swami:"Observations about two Nats– Drew Storen has become invisible. He used to be on twitter, do fun stuff online, be interviewed and have a quirky personality. This color- less version of Drew does not feel right."I have a funny feeling the post-Game 5 death threats and general outpouring of hate directed at him on Twitter and Facebook have something to do with that.
- Harpo - May 6, 2013 at 2:57 AM
You all will thank me when the Ghost Of Steve M disappears and the old man NatsJack stops making up stories. He knows nobody. Anyone can get their picture taken with Rizzo and drop names. I almost feel sorry for him. Peric, where do you start. He is so misguided, where do you begin.
- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 3:00 AM
Meridian Pint is good! Haven't been to Churchkey. Lots of good ones around here, for sure. DC Brau's brewery is a couple of miles from me and is a great visit.I know it's not a beer blog, but it's also an anti-levity blog at the moment, so I thought I'd try to counter that with the Great Bringer of Levity: Beer!
- skidge - May 6, 2013 at 3:00 AM
I've thought that about Storen too, Eric. I love following players on social media but it sure can come back to bite them. And many of these guys are so young.
- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 3:07 AM
Honestly, I was haunted more by the pic of Storen after that game and by the reaction he endured than I was by the loss itself. Felt really bad for the guy. Sure, he makes a ton of money to do this, but I don't think that in any way reduces the drive to succeed, nor mitigates the pain of a collapse like that.
- Just wonderin' - May 6, 2013 at 3:09 AM
Does anyone know — not looking for speculation, but real, first-hand knowledge — what kind of film baseball teams get to prepare to face a new pitcher? I'm mainly thinking of the Tigers and Zimmermann, but also interested in the general question. Is it from the TV feed? Is it privately made? If so, is it from the batter's perspective (but how would that work)? Do they get multiple angles of the same pitch?

My theory? The Nats went National, and people can't resist engaging with the new attention their outlets are receiving.Seriously, the keyboard is your enemy folks, unless you like getting tied up in knots.
- sjm308 - May 6, 2013 at 3:22 AM
I am still thinking Storen is our closer of the future. He is young and I am hoping we have great success this year and he is a big part of it. I obviously like what Soriano has done and I also think I have read that he is a giving person. Just hope he can help Drew with his demeanor, either by example or with actually pitching strategy. Those guys have to be talking out there.
- sjm308 - May 6, 2013 at 3:24 AM
Mark: I am guessing you are on your way home from this road trip. Just wanted to reinforce that your writing is what brings me here first thing in the morning. No matter what else has happened, you continue to make this a great place to learn about our team and the sport.(if those I scroll by are still reading me, this is called civility)

sjm, fwiw, and imo, the final parenthetical is called "engagement," like it or not. Anyone looking to lay bait will pounce on that in a heartbeat.
- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 3:37 AM
PS – I agree: I hope Storen is a huge part of any postseason play we might see. I'm really rooting for that guy to have some great, meaningful outings late in the season and beyond.
- Gonat - May 6, 2013 at 3:38 AM
sjm, we all come here for Mark but I continue to learn about the game from comments made here. I've watched games with NatsJack and SteveM and given my young age I am in awe of their knowledge to watch a game and pick their brains. I also highly recommend spending some game time with MicheleS as she is very smart too.

Do you all remember Luke Montz who was an Expos farmhand in 2003 and got a call-up as a catcher for 10 for the Nats in 2008?He hasn't played a MLB game since 2008 and in 2010 found himself back in A ball in the Cardinals farm system. The A's just called him up this week and he went 2-4 with a HR yesterday!http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=452215#gameType='R'§ionType=career&statType=1&season=2013&level='ALL'
- Joe Seamhead - May 6, 2013 at 10:48 AM
Pretty cool about Montz, Gonat! I haven't been following the A's very closely, but I thought between the 3 way deal involving Michael Morse and Derrick Norris that they were supposed to be in good shape catcher wise.
- baseballswami - May 6, 2013 at 10:53 AM
My son lives in Jacksonville , fla, where Montz was playing for the Suns, Marlins AA. He got to know him pretty well when he was there. He seemed to be a Crash Davis for the teenaged pitchers. Good guy. We are pulling for him.
- Gonat - May 6, 2013 at 10:59 AM
Joe, it's the ultimate in perseverance. Luke got a taste of the MLB in 2008 and it took him 5 long years to get back. He will be 30 years old in July and since he is out of options, if the A's demote him they have to do it as a DFA.If nothing else, he can tell his grandchildren that he homered against the NY Yankees!
- baseballswami - May 6, 2013 at 11:01 AM
Nice piece on Drew. Just seems like the kind of guy that needs fan interaction. I know he has his head down now while he is finding his way. Great inning yesterday!
- Gonat - May 6, 2013 at 11:06 AM
I got the Montz story. The A's put 2 players on the DL (Crisp and Young) and brought up Montz as an extra bat and to DH him as they have 2 catchers in Norris and Jaso.When Crisp and Young come off of the DL on the 19th, the A's will need to make 2 roster moves. I hope Montz contines to hit well and stays or impresses enough that if they DFA him another team will pick him up for their MLB roster.
- Joe Seamhead - May 6, 2013 at 11:49 AM
I enjoyed the Drew Storen piece, NatsLady.A little different journalistic approach.Thanks.
- Gonat - May 6, 2013 at 12:37 PM
The benching seemed to work for Espinosa. His defense was crisp and his plate appearances were improved and yesterday helped win the game.The growing concern is still his LH batting, here's his career splits batting RH & LH. Danny can hit as a RH batter..271/.341/.469/.810 RH.224/.300/.389/.689 LH

- Joe Seamhead - May 6, 2013 at 12:54 PM
I have always found Danny's splits interesting, but he has always insisted that he's a LH hitter first i.e. he gets better swings, more power, etc, yet the numbers have always said otherwise, though he gets much fewer RH at bats.Would the splits even out, or overall performance improve if he went all RH? The limited success he had against Dickey's knuckle ball by going opposite was interesting.

Peric said:"ISO = ((2B) + (2*3B) + (3*HR)) / ABISO = Extra Bases / At-Bats"Thanks for the information.And to sjm308, yes I am going to San Diego next week. Will not have a car but hopefully public transportation will get me to where I want to go. Thanks for your tips.
- bowdenball - May 6, 2013 at 1:07 PM
Gonat said…"The growing concern is still his LH batting, here's his career splits batting RH & LH. Danny can hit as a RH batter. .271/.341/.469/.810 RH .224/.300/.389/.689 LH"Espinosa's career OPS vs. left-handed hitters is higher than Bryce Harper's career OPS against left-handed hitters. People always have unfair expectations of switch hitters. They expect them to get matchup advantages from both sides simply because they have the ability to hit from either side of the plate. They're not all Mickey Mantle, folks.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - May 6, 2013 at 1:53 PM
Bowdenball, I think the analysis you do of any switch-hitter is the hybrid average of their overall stats. Most switch hitters are more dominant on one side than than the other and that included Chipper Jones but his overall stats were excellent so you take the good with the bad the same way you do with a non-switch hitter like Bryce's #'s which are much better facing RH pitchers.There still has to be some pitchers that Espi doesn't hit well at all based on a large enough sample size that possibly you sit him for those games.The other possibility goes back to the "what if" as Joe Seamhead pointed out if Danny tried it out to just bat RH.
- Eric - May 6, 2013 at 2:01 PM
NatsLady, thanks for sharing the piece about Drew. It was a nice read.

Comments about Pirit PVC Heated Hoses:
I use this on a float in the winter time to keep a water supple to a herd of cattle.The heating element runs to the end of the hose so it does not freeze very easy.and help to keep the float from freezing.

You will regret it if you buy this
By equestrian
from Portland, Oregon
I should have heeded the prior reviews on other sites before I purchased the 50' version of this product three years ago. I used it (as per the instructions which is not so easy) for about one week the first year and one week the second year and not at all last year. When not in use, it was drained and hanging undisturbed in the barn. This year, when a cold spell hit and I plugged in the 'heated' hose; voila, it no longer worked. What a waste of time and money.
By Don
from Allegany, NY
Bought this 'heated hose'for WINTER use in my barn in western NY state. The hose worked for about a month without freezing up even in O temps. Then one morning all was frozen and it never worked therafter. Company Rep. told me that they have had this sort of problem with this product. The plus side, they refunded amount paid. Buy it at your own risk and headache.
A much improved hose! I like it

Warriors: Power of Three #3: Outcast
There will be three,
Kin of you kin....
Who hold the
Power of the stars
In their paws.
A secret prophecy shapes the lives of Firestar's grandchildren, but only one of the three knows about it. Jaypaw is captivated by the power it promises, and he believes the key to that power may lie buried in the distant past -- with the ancient cats who once walked these woods and now prowl through his dreams. His search for answers leads him toward the mountains -- the home of the Tribe of Rushing Water. Lionpaw and Hollypaw feel drawn to the mountains too, for different reasons.
But the mountains hide secrets as well as answers, and if the three cats find a way to get there, they may discover more than they ever expected.
About the Author
Erin Hunter is inspired by a fascination with the ferocity of the natural world. As well as having great respect for nature in all its forms, Erin enjoys creating rich mythical explanations for animal behavior. She is also the author of the bestselling Warriors and Survivors series.

Submit Your Zine For Distro Consideration
To submit your zine for distro consideration, please mail a copy to me along with a note telling me your wholesale/retail prices, how you heard of Fight Boredom Distro, and why you think your zine fits within the distro catalogue. Generally, I will buy anywhere from 10-50 copies at a time, and I'll pay a 50/50 wholesale rate like $1.00/copy and sell them for a retail rate of $2.00/copy, with all of the money staying within the distro and going toward new stock, postage, website maintenance, and the expenses involved with tabling at various zinefests. A note on prices: In general, zines that retail for more than three dollars will spend a lot more time in the distro trunk in my bedroom than in the hands of zine readers. Please keep financial accessibility in mind when pricing your zine, and ask me if you need any tips on obtaining cheap photocopies. And for the love of goodness, please do not send me a form letter!
I'm into zines written by queers, feminists, and anarchists on a handful of topics, which are listed on the header of this very website. These days, I'm especially into writing on sobriety, addiction & recovery, friendship and its radical possibilities, femme identity, and ruminations on the idea of home, though I'm of course open to all sorts of writing. I don't do Feminism 101, I'm not terribly interested in hearing from white cis men, and I don't read PDF submissions.
If you'd like to mail zines for consideration, you can send 'em to:

It's a pity Mr. Torvalds still sticks to this immature "I'm no politican"-mentality. I could not wait for that to happen - getting rid of all this proprietary crap from nvidia, amd/ati, avm and the likes all at once.

Give people 12 months warning (time to work out what they're going to do,
talk with the legal dept, etc) then make the kernel load only GPL-tagged
I think I'd favour that. It would aid those people who are trying to
obtain device specs, and who are persuading organisations to GPL their drivers.
(Whereas the patch which is proposed in this thread hinders those people)http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux....4/focus=475824Originally Posted by Linus
The patch likely won't make it in, but it certainly would be very interesting if it did.
It's a pity Mr. Torvalds still sticks to this immature "I'm no politican"-mentality. I could not wait for that to happen - getting rid of all this proprietary crap from nvidia, amd/ati, avm and the likes all at once.
I have to think that having some sort of pressure from the GNU/Linux community on companies to offer GPL'd drivers can only be a good thing. It's not like we are going to stop using Linux, and I really think that Linux is too big of a force for a company like ATI or Nvidia to just stop providing drivers at all. If one even thought about that idea, the other would get a vast majority of Linux user's money. Now sound cards are another situation... there is no competition there so Creative can do whatever it pleases (and does... no Linux drivers for their latest cards yet). Competition makes the video card makers stay in line, and because of that I think it's only a matter of time before one starts providing open source driver... the other company will soon have to follow suit when it happens.
With the way things are going open source drivers will happen, and sooner than later. I can see how if the kernel developers forced this subject it could hurt Linux in some way but with an immediate payoff in some areas (like video card drivers more likely). If it stays like it currently is however, then the community still wins overall... just more slowly.
I don't understand any benefits over banning modules. Technically, they would be disallowing the person... to load whatever they want in the kernel. One reason I use Linux is because it's incredibly customizable. I can do whatever I want with it. If something like this came into play, it would be a huge burn.
"If it stays like it currently is however, then the community still wins overall... just more slowly."
That's a good point though :-\
If this happens, there will be a commercial linux kernel fork. The fact of the matter is that without the ati and nvidia drivers, linux would only be good for servers and linux is finally making strides into the desktop market. With Vista now out and soon to be available to the general public, desktop linux as an alternative is very important.
I see this as the exact same as drm. DRM hasn't really hurt windows but this module stance will hurt linux.
I can't see Ubuntu kernel devs wanting this as they are including nvidia and ati drivers in their next release. I also can't see Novell wanting this. The only big name that would even consider this would be Redhat but it would be a very foolish move.
All the hardware we run on is proprietary and copyright. For the sake of usability, they should allow the grey area to remain grey as Linus says.
The open source video card project is still pretty much in its infancy and if you want a reference board they are like $1000 and will provide performance like a radeon 9600 or somewhere therabouts.
I respect the kernel devs and their work as I have been enjoying running linux since '97 but limiting the enduser on what they can run and how they can use it is exactly like windows which most people are trying to escape.
The BSD variants just might get some linux converts and hopefully ati and nvidia continue to provide drivers for the BSD's.
PCBSD is starting to look like a possible alternative.
That's what I am thinking about also. I have never had success with the proprietary driver in the kernel, and 3D is actually becoming more popular with games and environments like Beryl.
It's hard enough to get friends to try out Linux as is... I'd hate to see it if they banned GPU drivers. It would be hard for me to continue using it, let alone try to con a friend into giving it a go.
If that happens, I will have to jump ship too. I like to play 3D graphics intensive games so the open source ones that only work on older hardware for ATI are kind of limiting and there is no nvidia equivalent to date. Without the proprietary information from the hardware vendors, the open source counterparts will never be able to fully take advantage of utilize the featureset of the decent cards.
It will be a sad day in Linux land for sure.

ugh...couldn't wake up in time to watch the beginning. why is foyle sitting and taft starting? taft is trying, but biggest mistake i see is that he doesn't look like he's fighting for defensive position. .... and 4 straight missed free throws already!

ugly win..but i'll take it!
good things knicks have less ball movement than even the warriors without BD. |
man, what is Baron doing chucking up 11 3's? He only made three of them! Luckily he had 9 assists. Murph was 2-7 beyond the arc, dunleavy 0-4... Warriors need to have better shot selection. They also shot less than 50% from the free throw line. It seems like a few fewer threes and a few more free throws made would have put this game out of reach, and could have won against Utah. We know the warriors are going to lose out on rebounds, but how can they improvve in these areas?

taft was our defensive force.Where was dunleavy did he even score,assist,rebound?Can he even shoot with somebody in his face, or at least create a shot,and not just hangout there by himself. he needs to move like r.hamilton. How many shots he shoots b4 the game.I thought we signed him bcuz he can play all position?Does w's need a player in dlvy just perimeter or dleavy baller that attacks the basket and is willing to score,and take important shot.
Dunleavy scored his first points late in the 3rd i think. I'm not trying to bash him, but he needs to step up.

dunleavy finished with 2 pts in like 35 minutes.. i think hes definately feeling the pressure to live up to the contract already. hopefully he'll get over it soon because we need him to ball.
"Losing is inevitably close to winning," Guber said. "They're inches apart. Drama. If you have drama, you've got a ticket to sell." "They're not real fans," Lacob said. "They don't have season tickets."
Or he is being lazy not needing to prove anything because he already has the contract

migya, or to anyone else that claims that an athlete is playing lazy, where do you actually SEE this athlete (in this case Mike Dunleavy) not hustling and trying? i doubt that he tries less on the court just because he has a contract. i can see players being less motivated to practice, to do extra, but once any player is on the court, they're not going to miss shots on purpose. if i see a player not run as hard or not dive for a ball, i might think they're not giving their all, but in no way have i seen mdj do this yet

The Visio tablet is average. I have wi fi in our house and it takes awhile for the internet searches to come through. The Facebook app is choppy. At times it will show a second screen of the page I was viewing. The video quality is fine. It gives you alerts when you get new emails, Facebook and updates as you choose to set it up. Very similar to using an Android cell phone. I'm still exploring the capabilities of the device but so far I would consider it average.
I bought two (2) of these Vizio tablets one for myself and one for my son for Christmas. I loved it I thought it was the perfect size for us to have for daily use. Just in the last few weeks when I went to charge the tablet I would have to hold the USB cable in place for it to charge. Now I am very dissappointed because my son's has started doing the same thing.
Last Christmas I bought one for my 13 year old and he loved it. This Christmas I got this one for my 8 year old. Nice size. 7inch tablet is too small. No complaints.
As received the item performed very well. Would not hesitate to buy again,
I love this product but wish it would be a bit faster. I love the size, weight is heavier than expected. Overall a love rating.
Enjoy the product, some times it will not hold a hook up off site. A little slow but dollar for dollar well worth the price.
Im a returning custumer, i just brought my tablet and it not working. I've only used it three time. Its not working.
I have had no issues with this tablet except the cord is too short to recharge it. I use it everyday for searching the web. Mostly for fun. I have a thing about NOT supporting Apple if at all possible so this works for me. Good size, weight, and price. May buy another for my son-in-law. Universal remote is questionable.
i didn't keep it cost to much to get more wi-fi in home
We loved the tablet and used it very regularly, every day, for almost a year. It would require periodic reboots because the OS would slow down and respond poorly, but the reboot almost always took care of it. Just recently, it stopped taking a charge. Repairman says the charging jack is broken and repair with labor will be about as much as we paid for the tablet. Now trying to decide if it's worth it to buy another of the same. During the year we had and used it, it worked famously!

A pace of drinking which is intended to lead to a blackout. Blackout is essentially forward time travel. In Back to the Future the speed at which the Delorean travels through time is 88 mph. If you are drinking at a speed of 88 mph, you intend to drink yourself into a blackout.
Everyone is home this weekend we're going big. I'm doing 50 now but I'll hit 88 mph by midnight. See you tomorrow.

Bruce Springsteen
The writers of this blog are not music critics, and they don't consider a second (or third, fourth or fifth) mortgage to be a perfectly reasonable course of action to pay for front-row tickets, but despite being a whole lot more middle aged than they were when they first put \x34Born in the U.S.A.\x34 or \x34The River\x34 down on the turntable, still feels like Bruce has something -- OK, a lot of things -- to say about our country and the way we live our lives, things that not a lot of other artists are saying. And whether he's talking about the knife that can cut this pain from your heart, the house that's waiting for you to walk in or what that flag flying over the courthouse means, he's nailing down feelings that are so universal that they can raise your spirits and break your heart at the same time. Plus, let�s face it, the man rocks.

If there's one misconception about Bruce Springsteen, it's that he's strictly a meat-and-potatoes lyricist, favoring straightforward ditties about working men, social injustice and cars, not necessarily in that order.
In truth, though, anyone with more than a passing knowledge of his work knows that his songs can contain striking, even haunting imagery. It's one of the reasons many of us go back to his songs time and time again when things get tough. You know who you are.
With that in mind, the Blogness staff took to making a list of the Springsteen lyrics and images that have meant the most of us over the years. We hesitate to say they're "the best" — because what does that even mean? — but to us, they're among the most striking and resonant. In some cases it's the imagery, in some cases the sentiment, and in others it's just that they offered an uncanny reflection of life as we were living it. Or they're just wicked cool.
Of course, narrowing down this list almost resulted in us coming to blows, and we stopped at a very reasonable 70 before things got really ugly. This is where you come in (since you have nothing better to do): In the poll below, vote for up to 10 of your favorites from this list, or add one of your own in the space at the bottom. (The only rule: No lines that include song titles.) At the end of the week, we'll tally up the results for an official list of the Top 10 Most Striking Springsteen Lyrics. Go!

An extremely high-level technique, used as a medical ninjutsu. The human body is controlled with electrical signals from the brain, but a person who had those electrical signals cut off with this technique will become unable to make their body move as they want. By transforming the chakra within one's body and giving it the properties of electricity, one creates an electric field. As soon as a strike of the hand lands, electricity is poured into the enemy's nervous system, severing the signals and deranging their body control. The target's body moves in any way, except how they want it to move. For the common shinobi, battle, not to mention even just walking, will become impossible. However, the victim can partially overcome the technique if they manage to relearn the connection between their brain and their limbs, as Kabuto Yakushi, being a medical-nin himself, demonstrates. This feat however is not an easy one and takes a high amount of concentration and intelligence. Because she's an expert in medical treatments, Tsunade was able to master this technique.
- Despite Tsunade converting chakra into electricity, it is not completely clear whether or not this technique really involves Lightning Release because of how the databook entry phrases the technique's description.

It's a good idea to learn as much as possible about all the assisted living options that are available in your area. They could be called Residential Living Facilities, Adult Foster Homes, or Home Care Centers in your location. Everything you read and each facility you visit will help you to get closer to determining your own need. There are adult family homes, retirement communities, board and care homes, assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities and other options. Learning about the costs of assisted living and how to cover those costs is also very important. With all these options, and maybe because there are so many choices, it can be overwhelming. There's nothing wrong with getting help.
A few of the services offered by assisted living placement services are:
1) Help Determine if Assisted Living is Right for You
2) Determining the level of care needed
3) Locating the home or facility best suited to your needs
4) Helping you to negotiate the lowest possible price for you and your family
5) Helping you with finanacial planning so that your resources can be used wisely to cover the costs involved

You are conflating arguments here. A nick from actual use does not compare to willful destruction. It is one thing to sand a neck to make it smooth and playable, it is an entirely different thing to sand the body just to make it look old.
Perhaps I missed the object of the video. But I'm pretty sure the owner was going for looks and not playability. The only part that actually seemed to be done solely to enhance playability was the rounding of the sharp corners on the nut. I'm pretty sure that the rest was for show, not for go.
edit: I just watched the entire video again, just to see if there was anything which enhanced the playability or the feel of the guitar. I wanted to give those who think this is cool their due. The only playability enhancements would be the nut dressing and the smoothing of the neck - everything else was for fake provenance and remains incomprehensible to me.
edit: I don't know Todd and I also don't know what journey his guitar made. I find that I don't fully understand the reasons people do these things to guitars. I'll retract my labeling of the owner of the guitar in the video a 'moron'. Please forgive me. I suppose it was the shock of it all.
Perhaps someone will point me to a thread that details Todd's guitar's journey. I'm interested. From what I can gather from bits and pieces here, it was a very different journey than depicted in the video.

Stepping away from the authentic versus repro argument for a second...
You see this in my opinion is very important. It is the appeal of a specific instrument to the player. We use many different senses when buying a guitar...many times what we see is the first step...second is tactile...third is auditory....sometimes it is the smell of the lacquer...others its the taste...err umm I mean.
This is why I think that relic'ed guitars have their place.
In Todd's case he clearly stated it was reminiscent of the experience he had playing a '57 Lester. In addition the experience of working with our friends at the PTC, as well as his generousity in allowing the guitar to go from player to player in the community also imparted something special attributable to the instrument. I think the way a player feels about the guitar he or she is playing can be very important in the music that he or she may create.
...For what it's worth.
My Cunetto relics are the same way. They feel old...
I also have a Danocaster "Keef" tele that feels the same way...
I still maintain that it's a function of the artisty involved. Jamie's guitar above (to me) looks really cool. The guitar in the video, not so much. Me personally? I like minty fresh stuff. Even my vintage guitars are pretty minty. But if I saw Jamie's guitar out someplace, I'd do a double take and think that it looked great.
What it looks like when the PTC does it right!!!
PRS Guitars Endorsee....White and Relic'd Ones !
The thing that's so bad about the CE getting relic'd is that after 40 years of everyday play it will never look like that one in the video.
The poly finish does not wear. I have 20 year old CE that has tons of gigging and abuse and it still looks almost new.
I'm all for people doing what they want to their guitars but this is something I would never do to a PRS.
I can understand getting proper relic done to nitro finished guitar to make it feel and look old but it just doesn't work for me on poly finished guitars.

I'm on the fence with relics
I love aged finishes and wood but I'm not a fan of grotty looking metal
I don't get why people care about this. It's just finish. The instrument itself probably plays better.
People don't get offended by antiqued furniture, or pre-faded t shirts. Why is this different?
I thought the original finish was beautiful, but it's not my guitar. Maybe he's not a poseur, pretending the guitar has had a harder life--he just likes the way it feels to play a worn guitar. I don't make that choice myself, but I don't get why it's not a valid choice.
It is a valid choice if he is doing it for himself.
If it is to fool other people, that is something else.

For citizens of the Ken Empire, justice is a myth. Lord Keiro, the deranged Shogun of the Imperial Army, blazes a trail of terror across the countryside in search of the sacred sword that will make him a god. Standing in his way is Taito, an omnipotent star reborn in human form - a young hero who vows to use his celestial strength to avenge those slaughtered by the villainous Shogun.
Taito's mystical powers steer him toward a violent showdown with Keiro, and if used recklessly, his newfound abilities could shred the very fabric of his being. To master the art of control and become a heroic martial artist, Taito must seek the guidance of others like him: the seven star-born warriors with the strength to shatter a corrupt empire.
