Closer Matt Capps looked much sharper last night than he did earlier this spring.
LAKELAND, Fla. — We've spent a lot of time this spring — and specifically, this week — talking about the Nationals' starting rotation. And for good reason. That remains this club's biggest area of concern entering the season, and with so much up for grabs this spring, almost every start for the last three weeks has been worth examining with a fine-tooth comb.
But let's take a break from that for just a moment and look at the other half of the Nats' pitching staff, because it merits examination as well. Remember how awful the bullpen was during the first week of March? Well, very quietly that group has gotten its act back together in the two weeks since.
Let's look at each of the contenders for bullpen spots, with their Grapefruit League stats split between their early outings and their most-recent ones…
First three appearances: 3 ip, 6 h, 5 er.
Last four appearances: 4 ip, 4 h, 2 er.
First appearance: 1 ip, 2 h, 1 er.
Last four appearances: 4 ip, 0 h, 0 er.Read more »
- Nervous Nats Fan - Mar 24, 2010 at 2:35 PM
"Remember how awful the bullpen was during the first week of March?"This sentence made me remember how terrible the Nats' bullpen was at the beginning of last season. I don't think I can take that again this year.
- Doc - Mar 24, 2010 at 2:43 PM
Have to give Rizzo credit. He has doen what he could to improve the BP. It just shows you how pitching is such a capricious physical enterprise. Usually with position players, what you see is what you get–not so with pitching. Look at Jason Marquis, he's been pitching for 20+ years, and come ST he has start all over again to find his 'stuff'.
- peric - Mar 24, 2010 at 3:01 PM
This time Rizzo has a lot more guys who pitch from both sides who could conceivably come up from AAA/AA if these guys falter. At least he has a plan B in place.
- Steve M. - Mar 24, 2010 at 3:21 PM
peric, Plan B for arms maybe. His plan B at Catcher, Rightfield, and Shortstop are very suspect.
- TBC - Mar 24, 2010 at 3:26 PM
Plan B at SS and C have already been implemented. Desmond and Pudge.RF I'll give you.
- David - Mar 24, 2010 at 3:30 PM
What are the chances of seeing Stammen/Mock/Martin in the bullpen once SS/Wang/Detwiler get back?
- Steve M. - Mar 24, 2010 at 3:36 PM
TBC, Yes, they are Plan B's but suspect in my opinion.Desmond was already here at the end of 2009 and is totally unproven. Pudge is a weak Plan B in my opinion.
- BinM - Mar 24, 2010 at 3:39 PM
At least this bullpen doesn't look like it will need a complete rebuild in May.
- Farid in Idaho - Mar 24, 2010 at 3:42 PM
I've never understood why starters are usually chosen for the opening day roster based on what they've done in the past while relievers tend to be more of a "what have you done for me lately" kind of decision.Even if Jason Marquis continued to have a horrible spring, for example, he'd be the team's #2 starter regardless. But guys who have proven themselves in the bullpen over their careers have a bad spring and suddenly it's questionable if he makes the team. Tyler Walker, as Mark showed, gave up 11 runs in his first 2.2 innings this spring and suddenly there was a concern as to whether he would make the team out of spring training.But in his last three seasons, Walker has a record of 9-9, 3.51, 7.9/2.8/7.5.Why would a lousy two innings in spring training take precedence over three seasons and 104 innings? Why would a veteran suddenly forget how to pitch?I think that has been a problem the Nationals have faced the past couple of years. They don't take their best relievers north, they take the relievers who are pitching the best at the time.Last year Saul Rivera pitched 6.2 innings in spring training and had a 0.00 ERA. Wil Ledezmma pitched 10.2 innings with a 1.69 ERA and both made the opening day roster. And we know what happened to them with the Nationals in 2009.Am I wrong here? What do you think? Great pitchers have horrible springs and horrible pitchers have great springs. I'm just not sure how much credence should be placed in spring numbers.
- Steve M. - Mar 24, 2010 at 3:52 PM
MacDougal was released it looks like:http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/03/marlins-release-mike-macdougal.html
- peric - Mar 24, 2010 at 4:00 PM
@SteveM, Agree. Especially at catcher. It may be why you keep seeing Jhonathan Solano coming in late in games as opposed to staying exclusively on the other side? He is known to be a good defensive catcher. But his offensive skill took a nose dive upon promotion to Syracuse.
- bdrube - Mar 24, 2010 at 4:33 PM
"Last year Saul Rivera pitched 6.2 innings in spring training and had a 0.00 ERA."But Saul also has a track record of 2 and 1/2 seasons of pitching fairly well, so that undermines the argument. The problem last year was that Bowden figured that Hanrahan, who was unproven as a closer, Shell, who had only pitched half a year in the bigs and Hinckley, who only had a cup of coffee the previous September, were going to be big producers. And that decision was obviously made long before Spring Training.
- BinM - Mar 24, 2010 at 4:43 PM
Wow, the team went through 22 relief pitchers, and 530 total relief appearances last year – That's not good.
- peric - Mar 24, 2010 at 4:43 PM
Meanwhile, big news out of Syracuse:he offical start of the 2010 baseball season occured today when Lena Blackburne's Rubbing Mud arrived via federal express to the Syracuse Chiefs offices.Used to take the shine off a baseball, Lena's product has been serving professional baseball since 1939. This "baseballs magic mud" is located in Delran, New Jersey.Directions on the package: Apply small amount of mud to palm of hand. Message onto both palms. Place ball in hand and message throughly. KEEP MOIST is in bold print.Each night before a game umpire attendant Chris Laurenzo duplicates this process for roughly 6-8 dozen baseballs. He hands the bag of baseballs using Lena's magic mud to the umpires and baseball can be played for another day.Something big happended in Syracuse today….Lena Blackburne's mud arrived.
- Sam - Mar 24, 2010 at 5:03 PM
I just want to provide a few examples of players (specifically star relievers) who underachieve during Spring Training:Jonathan Papelbon 2010 ST: 7.1 IP, 6.14 ERA, 3 BB, 4 SOFrancisco Rodriguez 2010 ST: 3.0 IP, 2 R, 5 HRyan Madson 2010 ST: 4.0 IP, 4 R, 2 BB, 5 SOJonathan Broxton 2010 ST: 4.2 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 3 SOThe reason I bring this up is because I am not concerned with the fact that Capps and others has pitched terribly this Spring for this reason. Spring stats measure nothing of a player's true talent. The reason why the Nationals have lost so many games is because our crap is worse than other teams' crap.Come April, Capps will begin pitching somewhere between his 2009 and pre-2009 form, which is what fans should expect.

- K.D. - Mar 24, 2010 at 6:18 PM
Just curious Steve M., what have you seen/heard from Pudge this spring that you would call him a weak Plan B at Catcher? Or is it just his age?
- natsfan1a - Mar 24, 2010 at 6:27 PM
Yeah, I had a similar reaction, Nervous NF.Steve M., that's yesterday's news (but interesting, I agree).In other news, I just stumbled on a new P-Nats blog. It's written by the new voice of the P-Nats, Will Flemming. His most recent piece features a talk with Doug Harris regarding player development.http://pnatsradio.mlblogs.com/archives/2010/03/welcome-to-p-nats-insider.html
- Knoxville Nat - Mar 24, 2010 at 6:48 PM
Mark,Your analysis of our relief corp is good as far as it goes but I think you left out one important component…base on balls. How many guys facing our bullpen are getting a free pass? Drives me crazy to see a pitcher come in from the pen and not be able to get many pitches in the strike zone or at least close enough that a batter will chase them.
- Steve M. - Mar 24, 2010 at 6:58 PM
K.D. said… Just curious Steve M., what have you seen/heard from Pudge this spring that you would call him a weak Plan B at Catcher? Or is it just his age?Not trying to be negative just stating facts of what you can see in the boxscores. It is his diminishing returns. He sunk to a .280 OBP last year which was his lowest since his Rookie year. If he is batting in the 8 hole, pitchers are now going after him instead of pitching around him to get to the pitcher as was seen in Houston.Behind the plate, he is still good but not the guy he was 10 years ago. Last year in Houston he only threw out 32% of base stealers which unfortunately is much better than Wil Nieves, but Wil Nieves was almost 30 points higher in OBP last year which was his career high.
- Steve M. - Mar 24, 2010 at 7:11 PM
Mark – Don't you think they need 2 lefties in the bullpen especially to be effective against teams like the Phillies?
- greg - Mar 24, 2010 at 7:45 PM
what? you mean we shouldn't have been panicking about the performance of the guys in the bullpen the first week of march? dagnabbit! this spring training stuff is hard!
- Mark Zuckerman - Mar 24, 2010 at 8:09 PM
Steve M.: Riggleman has said he's comfortable going with only Burnett as a lefty, because Clippard is particularly effective against left-handed hitters.
- natsfan1a - Mar 24, 2010 at 8:17 PM
but…but…I have my panic button ready to go on the keyboard and everything. dang…—what? you mean we shouldn't have been panicking about the performance of the guys in the bullpen the first week of march?

text: I was friends with Jana from the late 1980's to the early 90's. I am shocked, as I have just read the story of her death. On the afternoon of April 12, 2007, I parked in front of her house and debated surprising her, as we haven't had contact for 15+ years.I had heard through a mutual friend that Jana asked about me everytime she heard from her.I decided not to ring her bell because I was not in a very good mood due to my marital problems. I did plan to visit the next time I was in town though, which was about six weeks later. My friend that knew Jana told me she saw her obituary but didn't know what had happened to her. I am sooo sorry I procrastinated visiting her. After reading this article, I can't help but wonder if it would have made a difference if I rang her bell. I send my deepest regards to Jana's family. I think the "exit people" robbed them of a chance to say goodbye, or any other final wishes/thoughts. Jana could be a handful at times, but I don't believe she ever had any ill intent. The years I hung around with Jana, she wasn't happy, but I never heard her mention suicide. I remember her wanting to get married and she wanted a baby. She even talked about adopting a Romanian orphan baby.She had a rather turbulent and abusive relationship with a haridresser for a couple of years. Marriage and family just weren't in her stars. I wish her well in her new life and hope all the suffering and torment have ended. Goodbye Jana�

Well, imho this isn't interesting at all...
Phoronix: What Goes On Within AMD's Linux Beta Program?
This year NVIDIA has been following the release early, release often mantra with it seeming like two weeks can't even go by without seeing a new Linux driver -- whether it's a beta driver, an official driver update, or one of their legacy drivers picking up a few fixes (at times they have even released four drivers at once). On the opposite spectrum, AMD continues with monthly Catalyst driver updates on both Linux and windows. Rather than a continual stream of new public driver releases, AMD maintains a private beta program for their Catalyst Linux driver. This private program is made up of AMD developers, hardware vendors, users of different Linux distributions, other Linux vendors, and end-users. Phoronix has been apart of this program for years, but those testing this driver are under a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement with AMD regarding pre-releases of their Linux software. Today, however, AMD has decided to declassify some information pertaining to its Linux Graphics Driver Beta Program.
Well, imho this isn't interesting at all...
I'm not sure if it's me or if because I'm tired after a working day but, what is this article trying to say? I really havent understood
I think a closed beta program is ok in a beginning stage of a new development which definitely contains bugs that you do not want to explain any new user. But after a while things calm down and most of the major bugs are resolved. If you don't have to expect damage to your pc/data with it, then those pre official release drivers should be made available. I don't think that would hurt ATI in any way, but they would get more feedback. There are lots of people out here who have got problems with the fglrx driver, and the only hope for em is a new driver, so restricting access for em means waiting 2-3 months longer than needed if there would be a fix inbetween. If you want a fast solution then you have to buy a new card. NV has problems with some specific cards which have not been sorted out yet too, but at least they provide more updates when they introduce something new like VDPAU which needs more fixes. Before VDPAU/KDE4 you mainly only got a few updates, much less than the 12 for fglrx udpates a year. But before KDE4 there have been only few complains about NV and for every new kernel you got patches to make the current drivers work with it. That's the absolute minimum requirement that ATI has to do: provide OFFICIAL kernel patches even for legacy drivers.
How can I participate in the Beta Programm?
I have seen this mistake so often on Phoronix, so now I must mention itMore on AMD's Linux release cycle and philosophy can be found in The Truth About ATI/AMD & Linux.
It is bad practice to start a sentence or head line with "More on" because it sounds like "Moron" when you read it.
You will never see a news paper do that.
One of my English profs explained the importance of thinking through
sentence structure so as not to be phonetically or grammatically
careless, i.e. 'Me and Jim went to the arcade' as it could sound like
'Mean Jim went to the arcade', proper grammar is 'Jim and I went to
the arcade.'
Byt please no more "More on"

It's easy to get caught up in the moment and make grand proclamations about a basketball team after the first game. It's only one game against an inferior opponent.
A year ago in the season-opener against Albany, Ohio State had four players reach double figures, but only two did it for the year: Deshaun Thomas at 19.8 points per game and Aaron Craft right at 10.
So using a game against Morgan State as a microcosm of the season is a stretch. But ? ...

Review: Gosling's Black Seal
Posted by Arctic Wolf on April 26, 2011
This Tuesday I continue what I began last Tuesday, with my re-posting of old reviews which may have been missed by my more recent readers. Goslings Black Seal is a rather famous dark rum produced in Bermuda by Gosling's Rum. The taste profile is quite unlike anything else I have tried and it has found a nice place on my rum shelf for when the nights turn Dark and Stormy. Here is an excerpt from my review:

Gothenburg in Sweden, A Perfect Tourist Getaway
Gothenburg or Göteborg in Swedish is located in the southwest coast of Sweden and is the second largest city in the country. It is also the largest Nordic seaport and is situated along the sea coast at the mouth of the River Gōta Ālv that runs through the city. The charming city was founded in 1621 by King Gustavus Adolphus, the then king of Sweden. Gothenburg gets its name from the Geats, the natives of Gothia. Due to its strategic location, the city became an important gateway to the western archipelago in the 16th and 17th centuries.
[Booking_search_hotel Gothenburg, Sweden/]
The city was designed to look like Amsterdam with its magnificent canals and scenic waterways. It was because of the Gōta Ālv that Gothenburg became a significant trading city, besides it was a short distance away from the neighboring countries of Copenhagen, Denmark, Norway and Oslo. Gothenburg can be accessed by air, sea, rail and bus apart from which it has a good city transport. There is mild climate all year long with a warm and pleasant summer and a cold and windy winter. There is snow fall during the months of January to March, but this does not last for long.
The Liseberg amusement park is the greatest attraction in the city, being the largest in Scandinavia. Close to Liseberg is the Universeum, which is a science discovery centre. The Southern Gothernburg Archipelago is a natural wonder and a most sought after tourist attraction. It comprises of the most exotic islands that can be arrived at by a ferry. The islands themselves consist of wonders such as the Ālvsborg Fortress, Vinga and Styrsō. In the city, the Kungsportsavenyn also known as 'The Avenue', which is the central boulevard, goes all the way to the old city centre, Kungsportsplatsen.
In this one kilometer stretch, you will find the Gothenburg Museum of Art, the city theatre, library and concert hall. The Gothenburg Opera lies along the banks of the river and is an important landmark of the city. The Göteborg Botanical Gardens, one of the most significant in the whole of Europe, the park Slottsskogen and the Natural History Museum are also places of tourist interest. The 18th century Gunnebo House and the several museums that include the Gothenburg Museum of Art, Rōhss Museum, Gōteborgs Konsthall, the Museum of World Culture and the Aeroseum are some of the many museums that can be visited.
The city has some great shopping centers of which the Nordstan is the second largest in the whole of Scandinavia. Gothenburg is described as a shopper's paradise and a city of gastronomical treats. One can savor the many culinary delights in the several restaurants that are available here. Gothenburg is a thriving metropolis and certainly a traveler's perfect getaway.

Locke goes for win No. 10 vs. Alvarez, Marlins
Bucs lefty has lost once in 18 starts; Miami righty to make fifth start
For as strong as the Pirates' rotation has been this year, manager Clint Hurdle has had to piece it together.
Pittsburgh has used 11 starters but has still compiled the best staff ERA (3.24) and opponent's batting average (.231) in baseball entering Thursday. One consistent has been Jeff Locke, in his first season as a full-time big leaguer.
Locke missed his July 14 start with lower back stiffness, but he appears to be past that. He tossed six innings, allowing one run on one hit and four walks with six strikeouts Sunday against the Reds to improve to 9-2. The 25-year-old has lost only once in his last 18 starts.
Friday night in Miami, Locke will take on the Marlins and Henderson Alvarez in the first of a three-game set.
"The back's great," Locke said after his last outing. "Just going back to last week, pretty much proved to myself today that I stand by the decision that was made by the club and myself [to skip a start]. It's more important to miss one start to feel healthy and hopefully feel good the rest of the season."
Alvarez has made four starts since missing the first half of the season with right shoulder inflammation. He's improved each time out since his debut on July 4, and he threw seven scoreless innings in Milwaukee on Sunday.
Miami's pitching has been strong in its own right this season, especially in the last month. Marlins starters have given up three runs or less in 29 of their last 33 games.
"Our pitchers have done a nice job, even in Milwaukee where we just didn't score any runs," manager Mike Redmond said. "Our pitchers have done a great job of keeping us in ballgames. It's been fun to watch these guys go out there and improve and continue to work on their pitch selection."
Marlins: Ozuna likely done for the season
Marcell Ozuna was optioned to Double-A Jacksonville on Monday, saw a hand specialist on Wednesday and the Marlins announced on Thursday he's likely out for the year.
The 22-year-old outfielder jammed his thumb making a diving catch on Monday against the Rockies. The play resulted in a ligament tear and an avulsion fracture in his left thumb. It will require surgery.
"It's highly doubtful and improbable that you'll see him again this season," Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest said. "It's a minimum six to eight weeks, and then you have to ramp up from there. So we're going to run out of time this season."
Ozuna had a .265/.303/.389 slash line in 70 games this season. He was originally called up in late April when Giancarlo Stanton went on the disabled list.
Pirates: Harrison delivers in second start of year
Josh Harrison has been shuffled between Triple-A Indianapolis and Pittsburgh all season, and he finally got a chance as more than a pinch-hitter or defensive replacement on Thursday.
The 26-year-old utility man went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, his first of the year, in the sixth. He then tied the game in the ninth with a two-run single with two outs and two strikes. Harrison has appeared in 19 games for the Pirates this year, but he started just his second on Thursday.
Jose Tabata, the Bucs' usual right fielder, was hit in the right forearm by a 95-mph fastball from Washington's Fernando Abad on Wednesday. Hurdle said before the game Tabata could likely swing a bat Thursday, but would have trouble throwing. Tabata pinch-hit with the bases loaded in the ninth and struck out before Harrison's single.
Worth noting:
• In each of their last five games, Marlins starters have gone at least six innings and allowed two runs or less. Alvarez started that run.
• The Pirates and Marlins will meet for the first time this season on Friday. The clubs will meet for another three-game set on Aug. 6-8 in Pittsburgh.
• Miami is 7-4 against Pittsburgh since the start of the 2011 season.

The title of the most annoying page on Internet Explorer. Formerly known as "This page cannot be displayed".

I would've held the dvd back for after the film but then again I didn't study marketing :)
IGN has posted the world debut of Iron Man's full-length trailer for the animated adventure featuring Black Widow, War Machine and The Punisher. The animated direct to home video film is called Iron Man: Rise of Technovore. It arrives on April 16th, just in time to add to the hype for Iron Man 3.
Official Press Release: Marvel's Iron Man returns in the all-new, animated, high-adrenaline feature-length film IRON MAN: RISE OF TECHNOVORE, debuting on Blu-ray™ and DVD with UltraViolet™ April 16th from Marvel Entertainment and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Produced by Madhouse and featuring Marvel Super Heroes such as War Machine, Nick Fury, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and The Punisher, IRON MAN: RISE OF TECHNOVORE is the explosive new chapter in the popular Iron Man franchise. After a deadly terrorist attack, Iron Man is blamed and must go on the run from S.H.I.E.L.D. and stop the insane villain Ezekiel Stane who has developed a new type of "bio tech" that seems to outclass even the Iron Man armor. The cast includes the voice talents of Matthew Mercer (Resident Evil Damnation) as Iron Man and Norman Reedus (The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, TV's "The Walking Dead") as Punisher.
Exclusive to the Blu-ray is an interactive art gallery featuring the conceptual art produced by Madhouse for the film. The Blu-ray and DVD also come with two behind-the-scenes featurettes: "Tale of Technovore," exploring the animation, story and the adaptation of Marvel characters for the anime film; and "S.H.I.E.L.D.: Protecting the Marvel Universe," giving viewers an all-access look and brief history into the organization as portrayed in the comics and adapted in the film.
The Synopsis: Billionaire Tony Stark, in his Iron Man armor, prevents an attack from a mysterious new foe, but innocent bystanders are killed, including his best friend War Machine, Lt. Colonel James Rhodes. Detained for questioning by S.H.I.E.L.D., Iron Man escapes, determined to find the mastermind behind the attack. Pursued by Black Widow and Hawkeye, Iron Man enlists the help of the ruthless vigilante The Punisher. But can the Armored Avenger handle what he finds when he catches the person responsible and is forced to face his deadliest weapon, a biotechnology called Technovore that could wipe out all life on the planet?
IRON MAN: RISE OF TECHNOVORE is directed by Hiroshi Hamasaki (Paranoid Agent, Highlander) with story by Brandon Auman (The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Iron Man: Armored Adventures).
I would've held the dvd back for after the film but then again I didn't study marketing :)
Neither did I... To me (maybe just me) it would have made sense to do this using the same voice talent as the other movies. It would seem that it would sell more if you went in that direction. But, I am sure that the cost for the voice talent would have been that much greater. But why not tie it in? What do I know... I would have really enjoyed to hear the voices I know...
Marvel still blows DC in live action movies but sadly, DC owns Marvel in animation.
This looks terrible.The anime look doesn't sell it for me. What happened with Marvel and animation? They had started it all with direct to video animated features like Dr Strange, Ultimate Avengers, Iron Man but the moment DC came into the game with their superior animated direct to video, Marvel just gave up.
Out of all the marvel animated movies, I may just pick this one up. Sorry.. just a hard core anime fan, heh
Might have to check this out. Hopefully they'll make it available to stream on Netflix. I'm not one to get all excited about these animated movies, but I really liked the Extremis miniseries and Invincible Iron Man as well as Batman: Year One and Under the Red Hood.
Its an Anime style of animation. What are you guys looking for in Animation. I think this looks good. I like anime though
I don't care for anime at all, which is why I doubt I will bother to check this out.
I've never been an anime fan either, mostly because the stories and characters tend to be a little too weird for me. I don't mind this animation style though, but I can certainly understand why some people don't like it. Then again I was kinda turned off by Transformers Prime because of the CGI-style animation. Like I said, I really enjoyed Extremis and going into it I didn't even know that it was done in that anime style. It was weird at first, but I got used to it and the story kept me interested. Don't know if I'll buy this, but I'll certainly check it out on Netflix even if I do have to use one of my two monthly disc rentals.
Anyone else notice that Iron Man appears to be missing an arm in that cover art?

Soft & durable with a single seam in the panty. We started wearing these the day they arrived and are very pleased with how comfy & opaque they are. Foot Traffic went to great lengths to design a truly better tight that redefines the industry standard.
One Size: Label says they fit 5'0" to 6'0" or 100-195 lbs. We found they fit up to a 47 inch hip and a 27 inch thigh, though longer legs may find them a bit too short.
Plus sized: (called "Large/Tall" on newer packaging) fits 200lbs and up very nicely on both ladies and guys (see heather graphite plus image)...the label says only up to 225 lbs, but like with any tights, it's your inseam and where you carry your curves that determines fit and we have testers over 225 who swear by these tights. These fit up to a 48 inch hip and 29 inch thigh. We are phasing these out this fall (2013) in favor of Foot Traffic's new X- Large option...
Extra Large:These are currently only available in black and chocolate... we have requested more colors! Label says they fit 5'6" to 6'2" or 195 to 260 lbs. These have the most bang for the buck in leg length and stretch, so folks with long and full legs will want to go for this size. The waistband stretch maxes at 50 inches, but the hip stretch has a couple more inches of stretch than that. This size has a double seam in the rear.
All sizes have a tube style foot that should fit most feet.
Additional Info: Expertly crafted using the finest quality combed cotton, these tights are one-of-a-kind for their stylish design, comfy fit, and lasting durability. Our tightly woven, fine-spun fabric has a jersey-like softness. No need to worry about runs or snags that often appear in ordinary tights. Foot Traffic says "Our cotton tights are a balanced mixture of cotton and spandex, so they are sleek but strong. Sporting a discreet elastic waistband and minimal seaming, these tights disappear under the most fitted dresses or skirts."
In fact, Foot Traffic loves these tights so much that right on the label they say "We provide the finest cotton tights in the world. If you are not fully satisfied, for any reason, just return them within 60 days for a refund or replacement product.
Made in Taiwan, Foot Traffic has worked with the same mill for over 20 years and assures us they meet all benchmarks of positive and conscientious standards.
Fiber Content: 60% combed cotton, 35% nylon, 5% spandex. Machine washable in cool water, tumble dry low.
Label: Foot Traffic
Does the toe seam on these run across the tip of the toes, or over the top of the toe area?
Good Morning, I was just curious if you guys get a regular stock of these colors in the Extra Large and youre just out? Or do you never get the pretty colors? thanks!!
so...no plus size left at all? I see it described but not available to select....
Are these "OK for walking from the parking lot to the office in winter" warm, or "I walk a mile to work every day even when it's snowing" warm?
Could you describe the rust color? The picture makes it look like a pinkish orange. I know different monitors display colors differently. Are they bright orange? More muted orange? Pumpkin colored?
I'm trying to determine if the "one size" or "extra large" size is best for me. I'm about a 27.5" thigh and about a 45" waist. I appreciate any suggestions!
I have a 28-30" waist, and find most waistbands "bitey" and uncomfortable around my belly. What size should I aim for? I'm 5'2".
i am looking for tights that are nude, skin color . my daughter is a soldier and may only wear skin color tights with her uniform skirt. is heather mocha 'skin color'.? thanks
You guys are always so amazing about sharing how different items fit on different bodies (which helps ensure happy customers!). I love your selection, and my friends always know that a Sock Dreams gift certificate never goes amiss as a gift in this household!

Greek Chicken PitasI needed a quick recipe and this one worked great. You don't need to marinade for a long time, but you can if you have a few minutes to spare. I used my cast iron grill pan to get a nice outside barbecue taste (and look) without having to go out into our single digit backyard! My kids liked the chicken. The tomato topping, not so much, but trying new things is a life skill, right? Oh, and bei

Dutch Oven Artisan BreadI have been fascinated with artisan breads for many years. Living in a smaller town, we didn't get a bakery dedicated to these beautiful breads until about 8 years ago, but I drooled over them as I watched people eat them on television. Then when our local bakery opened, it was purported to being worked 24 hours a day because that is what is required for true artisan breads. I figured I would

1/23/11 – FINAL DAY of Phillies Phantasy Camp
I woke up just as the sun started to make its slow rise over the horizon and envelop Clearwater Harbor with its warm orange glow. This was the perfect way to start out my last morning at Phantasy Camp. Packed and checked out, I headed to breakfast in the ballroom. My calf muscle in my left leg felt fantastic, like nothing had happened to it the day before. No hobbling down the buffet line for me. This was good because I needed the support to hold up the massive amount of bacon that I just shoveled on to my plate. No need to eat healthy today. This was going to be a party. I sat down at an empty table and was soon joined by Scott Palmer. He wished me a good morning, asked how I was, and asked about my experience at Camp He was thrilled to hear all my exaltations. While I had him there, I had to speak to him about Cliff Lee… I watched the Cliff Lee press conference live on the MLB Network and the first thing I noticed was Palmer's introduction of Lee and GM Ruben Amaro Jr. Palmer was not just a Public Affairs Director this day, he was a fan like all the rest of us. I remarked to Scott how overjoyed he looked and sounded, like he could not believe he was actually there, introducing Lee BACK to the Phillies. The same went for Amaro Jr. The both of them had the widest smiles. Scott shook his head and told me that was such an incredible day and everyone in the organization felt the same way: over the moon. He went on to tell me about the night he found out Lee was returning to the Phillies. The Phillies were hosting a charity event that Palmer MC'ing. Dave Montgomery, the owner, president and C.E.O. of the Phillies, who takes his involvement with charities very seriously, was suspicious absent for the good part of the evening. Every now and then, Dave would come in, looking very tense and pensive, and then quickly disappear again. Scott knew that the Phillies had recently become a major player in the Lee sweepstakes, and he was their number one priority. Throughout the night, Dave would come and go, but finally, he returned with a very similar wide grin, sat down, crossed his legs, took a huge a breath and put his arms on each chair next to him. Scott knew right then the Phillies had just landed Lee. It wasn't until later that night while he was driving home did he hear the confirmation on the radio. Fantastic. A teammate of mine, Harry Sharpe, joined us at the table. Harry had incredible energy, a great sense of humor, and was a joy to be around. He and his wife own a bed & breakfast in Tunkhannok, PA, which he promised all of us discounted rates if we came and stayed there. I'm holding you to that Harry! Scott told us another story about Phantasy Camp that gave me such a bad case of goosebumps. Syd Fluck had been a regular down in Clearwater, but over the years, he started developing early stages of Alzheimer's. In what turned out to be his last year attending Camp, his son had joined him for the first time. Palmer recalled a sad, but very touching moment when the older Fluck was batting in a game at Bright House. Syd had struck out, but thought he actually walked. He started his way down the line to take his base. His son met him on the line and gently whispered in to his ear that he actually struck out. His son put his arm his dad's shoulders and walked him back to the dugout. EVERYONE on the field, in the dugout, and in the stands, gave him a rousing, standing ovation. My eyes are welling up just typing this. Like I said before, this is what this Camp is all about. ———————– I loaded all my luggage into the bus and said goodbye to the Marriot. Since the Drillers finished in 8th place, our game against the Legends would not be until the early afternoon, so we did not need to be at the Complex until a little later. That extra hour was so nice, although, we did kind of wish we would finish 9th or 10th just so we could get two extra hours. Also, as a consolation, the 9th and 10th place teams played their final game the day before at Bright House Field. Sometimes, it's good to lose one every now and then. We pulled in to the Complex one last time. This morning routine of ours quickly became so familiar, like we had done this for years. That was a really comforting feeling. It felt great to take our time this day, stroll in to the clubhouse, and not have to rush about getting ready for our morning briefings. We all were able to leisurely sit around, chat with our surrounding locker buddies and teammates, and fully take in this final and very exciting day. Before I left, another Camper stopped me, and for the fourth time in the past couple of days, was told I resemble a sports celebrity. This time, my apparent doppelganger was not a baseball player. Nope, I got a NASCAR driver this time. Who? Tony Stewart…. That's still SO much better than Kruk (just kidding big guy!) I slowly made my way from the clubhouse to Bright House Field. I wanted to really take in that particular walk one last time. The weather was gorgeous. It was still very cool, but the winds had completely subsided and the sun just seemed extra brighter today. Very fitting. When I arrived, the atmosphere was so joyous. Everyone had their family and friends around with them, taking pictures of their favorite Camper and all the Legends, congregated and playing on the field. This was also a great chance for everyone to raid the Phillies Clubhouse store. I honestly thought I would have left with half the store, but I resisted the urge and surprisingly did not purchase one item. However, I did purchase a photo CD courtesy of the professional photographers who roamed the fields every single day, Northeast Photography. They had every proof laid out for the Campers to pick and choose. I found a good number of photos with me in various action and not-so-action-filled shots. All I have to say is, by the time the August reunion at Citizens Bank Park rolls around, I am losing some pounds. Looking like that in front of 200 people is one thing. 45,000? Yeah, maybe I should cut back on that bacon. With a good amount of time on my hands, I made my way around Bright House Field to take photos. Much like every new ballpark that has debuted in the last 10 or so years, Bright House has the distinctive feature of a seamless walkway, encircling the entire field. Two days before, an ESF employee spotted me taking pictures and told me that I could climb up to the perch in centerfield where the TV cameras are positioned. I took his advice, and made my out there. On this crystal clear day, the field's colors looked extra vibrant. The grass was greener and the sky was bluer. Around the stadium I went. I was all alone standing beyond the outfield fences. I all I heard was the faint crack of a bat and a few muffled cheers. That near silence was broken with the echoes of the PA announcer calling out the next batter and the score. It was so peaceful back amongst the palm trees. I settled in to the seats along the first base side, right behind the Legends dugout. Twenty minutes ago, they were the size of ants. Now, they were all lined up in front of me, larger than life. For the first time today, I was able to sit down and take in one of these games. This would be a good time to explain the rules of our matchups against the Legends… 1. Games are only three innings long. The Legends are the home team, which really means, the games are actually only two and a half innings. I believe it only happened once ever in Camp history where the Legends needed their last at bat's to finish the game. 2. We are allowed to field an entire team at once. Yes, we had five outfielders. We regressed beyond Little League. We went to Tee Ball. 3. If by the third inning, if everyone on the team had not batted, but we reached three outs, the inning would still continue until everyone had a turn at the plate. 4. The Legends are only allowed to score a maximum of two runs per inning. If they reached the two run limit, but still have less than three outs, the inning is still over. Not only do these rules benefit the Campers in that we all get to participate and have fun, but to try and limit the time on the field of the Legends. Not every Legend played, which meant a lot of these guys were logging a lot of time on the field this day (almost five hours). It was a something else seeing a lot of the Legends switching around and playing positions you would have never seen them man in their heydays. Mitch Williams at first, Scott Eyre at third, Mickey Morandini pitching… It was also great seeing these guys in playing action for the first time this Camp. Being able to see those sweet left-handed swings of Milt Thompson and Von Hayes, those distinctive batting stances of Kruk, Ricky Jordan, Mike Lieberthal, the power windup of Ricky Bottalico, Kevin Stocker and Dave Hollins fluidly and flawlessly turning a double play, Juan Samuel gracefully taking a double… truly awe-inspiring. Yes, they are all older and they were not playing at 100% of their physical ability, but you could just see how innate their talent is. Everything they do on the field is second nature to them. It's like brushing your teeth or tying your shoes. You don't have to think about it. That's what the sport is like for them, and that will always be something I'll never get my mind around. Just incredible. After a few innings, I made my way back towards the tent in left field for a well-deserved lunch. Sitting around and taking photographs is exhausting. I sat with a lot of my teammates and we had a wonderful last meal together. Just like in the clubhouse, it was kind of sad that this would be the last time we would be eating together. I finished my extremely nutritious slab of cheesecake and made my way back to the stands to watch some more games. The Ravens and Sky Chiefs would be playing soon and I wanted to say hi to my friends before they hit the field. As our time drew nearer, my team started congregating in left field. No one was really hitting the ball that deep, so all the teams would start warming up a couple games before theirs. During the Sky Chiefs game, we made our way to the dugout to get ourselves ready so as to have a smooth and quick transition to our game. Now it was starting to hit me; sitting in that dugout again and watching all these great ex-Phillies on the field and knowing I would be stepping up to the plate and looking out at all of them. Wow. The game finished and we stood around, getting ready to run out on the field. I got a few more pictures and videos. One of my friend's had asked me to get an autograph of Kevin Stocker for her as he was her favorite player on that 1993 team. I decided that would be too boring, so Stock obliged me with a quick video message to my friend. In true Stocker fashion, he got a quick dig in, calling my play on the field, "unbelievably bad". Thanks. Now I'm not going to buy one of your smoothies. What do you think of that hot shot? But seriously, it was a great gesture. The night of the Bull Session, he did a very similar thing. When asked if he would speak to a Camper's daughter on the phone, he obliged. He truly loved interacting with everyone. I also got one more quick video. This was one of the big moments I was waiting for. Wow. Dan Baker, calling out my name and number, with my big goofy smile projected on the scoreboard. What a moment. Stock and Lieby called us in for a quick huddle. Their only instructions were, once we finished our at-bats, to go out to any position we wanted and to just have fun. Yep, we had regressed to Tee Ball. The Legend that we drew as our opposing pitcher was a great one. We actually got to face the newbie and last minute addition in Scott Eyre. So, not only did we get to face a real pitcher (some teams had former position players throwing at them), but we would be batting against a man who was only one season removed from pitching in the World Series against the Yankess AND two seasons removed from winning the World Championship. That was mind-blowing. 1-2-3 we went. I made a beeline out for left field. There was no way I was playing infield against these guys. Plus, they had no problem driving the ball out, so I figured there would be a great chance for me to field a ball hit out. Lee Sorenson took his spot next to me in the new "middle left field" position. For those scoring at home, that would be "11". I yelled over to Lee and joked with him that we needed to take this seriously and that we would be the first team to beat the Legends. He got in to the spirit and barked back that this is the last stronghold and to hold our positions. Very funny. The first Legend to bat was Ricky Bottalico. Ricky Bo was most definitely taking these games seriously; from his metal spikes, to his quick glove work at third, to his powerful bat. He was there to play. After his first at-bat, it all seemed like a blur. One after another these guys would rake the ball. They quickly reached their two run limit. The highlight of the first inning though was Von Hayes hitting an opposite-field shot down the line towards me. Unfortunately, between the photographer who was stationed near me on the field, and another team warming up near the sidelines, I could not field the ball as cleanly as I wanted to. It bounced off several people and I had to quickly change my course. I finally retrieved the ball and made a nice clean throw to the cut-off man. There was another highlight: fielding a Von Hayes double. Awesome. 1-2-3 once again. I felt that our chances were looking very slim at this point. Bottom of the second and another blur of hits and scoring… Ricky Jordan, Juan Samuel, John Kruk, Dave Hollins, Tyler Green, Ryan Howard… just kidding. The score was now 4-0 and we came up for our final at-bats, which meant I would finally get my chance. There I went, strolling up to home plate to face Scott Eyre. The PA announcer called out my name and I got chills down my spine. Eyre clearly had dialed it down for us Campers. He did not throw any off-speed or breaking balls. Every single pitch was right down the middle, straight, and much slower than he could possibly throw. I would say he was around the low to mid-70's. It was great to see him start out his windup with that little shoulder shrug he does before every pitch. Unlike what I normally do, I took the first pitch just to see what I would be facing. It was like a pitching machine. Straight and perfect. The second came in exactly the same and I swung. Yep, not even close. After I came back to the dugout with a big grin on my face, Stock, Lieby, and the rest of my teammates all came over to tell me how solid of a hit that was. What a great feeling. Our MVP Pete was not able to play due to a nagging injury, but did find the energy to get an at-bat. As they did for players who were having a hard time running, a pinch runner was used, stationed behind the umpire. This time, they used the young son of my teammate Joe Stackhouse. Pete got a hold of Eyre's pitch and drove it in between right and center field. Ricky Jordan, who was patrolling center, pulled up a bit and let it fall as to give Joe's son the opportunity to run the bases. Stocker, who was coaching first, got in to the spirit and told Joe's son to try and steal after Eyre released the ball. In the Camp, one rule was that there was no stealing allowed, so of course, this garnered a lot of laughs, especially from Eyre. We made our last out and that was that. My days on the Phantasy Camp were officially over. We lined up to shake the hands of all the Legends and give our final goodbyes. One after another, "good game, thank you, take care, great to meet you, etc." Then came Dave Hollins. "Great game Inky!" ———————– Back to the clubhouse… what no Yuengling today?! Yeesh. I slowly packed up everything from my locker; all the uniform accoutrements, the customized magnetic name plate, etc. For those who were not going to be taking the bus the airport, we all said our goodbyes. We traded our business cards, numbers, emails, and most importantly, our heartfelt exchanges of letting the other person know that it was an absolute pleasure to have met and shared this incredible experience with them. Before I left, I did have one small piece of business to attend to. I brought down a one of my favorite pictures of my dad and I, taken before a Phillies game in July of 2004, the first year of Citizen Bank Park. I blew it up and wrote a personal note on the back. I folded it up tightly and placed it in the far back of the safe in my locker. I'm sure it was quickly found by the clubhouse staff after we all left, but it was my way of giving my dad a small taste of being in Clearwater with me, living out this lifelong dream together, in spirit. And that… was what this Camp was all about to me. Dad, this was for you. I love you. ———————– This does not mean this diary is finished. Not by a long shot. There will be much more to come… more pictures, links, and follow-up stories. There will also be two Phantasy Camp reunions at Citizens Bank Park during the upcoming baseball season, including the big one during alumni weekend on the last weekend in August. So please keep stopping by!
that, I may have taken a ball (I can't really remember, but it's very possible I did not. Patient at the play I am not.) Scott threw his next, identical pitch in and I got around on it, hitting a very solid line drive towards second base… right in to the glove of Dickie Noles. No matter. If I had one ultimate goal in this Camp, it was to NOT strike out against a Legend, and just make contact. That was all. And I did. For once, I did not go down because of my flailing bat. My dad would have absolutely over the moon. For a man who witnessed his son swing at many-a-horrible pitch in his life, any sort of solid contact made him extremely proud. That one was for you dad.

Great Job telling the story of your Phantasy Camp. I'm looking forward to reading more and seeing pictures. Congrats!
Bryan/Sarge/Inky et al
having been your teammate and experienced all that you wrote about, I can honestly say you brought it all to life. You made the last day happen all over again and I can honestly say you gave me goosebumps.
Congratulations on capturing the #1 slot in the MLB Blog ranking for January! Great report here!
Mark, you are a true gentleman. It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife. Thank you again for the Happy Birthday sing-a-long surprise!
" It bounced off several people and I had to quickly change my course. I finally retrieved the ball and made a nice clean throw to the cut-off man. "
Now that's a classy move, you and I both know what happened! Sorry about that buddy…
Love reading your blog, keep up the good work!!
Doug 58
Honestly, it was all a blur. All I was kept thinking was to not let the ball get past me and go all the way to the wall. I'm actually kind of happy you guys accidentally stopped it haha
Thanks Doug, I really appreciate it!

Friedreich's ataxia is a rare, inherited disease. It causes a gradual breakdown of the nervous system. Friedreich's ataxia affects nerves in the brain and spinal cord that control movement. It also affects sensory nerves that help with coordination. In later stages, the disease can cause injury to the heart and pancreas.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Friedreich's ataxia is caused by a problem with a gene called the frataxin gene. This gene is found on chromosome 9q13.
