Only seven players have hit at least 25 home runs at the halfway point of a season while 22 years old or younger. Five are in the Hall of Fame (Joe DiMaggio, Johnny Bench, Harmon Killebrew, Eddie Mathews and Mel Ott) and the others are Alex Rodriguez and Bryce Harper. Follow Giants/Nats live

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus says that Miguel Cabrera has a Grade 3 calf strain and is expected to miss six weeks. He's leading the American League with a .350 batting average and .456 on-base percentage.
Michael Taylor homered off Madison Bumgarner on the very first pitch of the game. On the second pitch of the game, Yunel Escobar doubled to deep center, just missing a home run. A few pitches after that, Bryce Harper homered, and the Nats lead the Giants 3-0. Follow live
Dodgers are the only team in baseball without a 4-game losing streak this season (Cardinals were with them until Friday night)

Rain has delayed the start of the Giants-Nationals showdown of Madison Bumgarner and Stephen Strasburg.
Lou Gehrig is arguably the finest athlete New York City has ever produced. His body would eventually fail him, but his words on this day 76 years ago live on. 'An awful lot to live for'
76 Years Ago: This ticket got you in to Lou Gehrig's "Luckiest man" farewell speech at Yankee Stadium pic.twitter.com/QZzmY2Spy4
Veteran Doc Jacobs lost a leg to an IED in Iraq, but that isn't stopping him from giving up on his dream of being a major leaguer.
The start of today's #Nats - #SFGiants game has been delayed to 11:20 a.m. due to the weather.
Miguel Cabrera played 1,896 games before going on the DL for first time in his 13-yr career. #tigers
This year was the second time in the last three years that Miguel Cabrera had a .350 average and at least 15 HRs at the All-Star break. Prior to Cabrera, the last Tiger to accomplish that was Norm Cash in 1961.
So this happened on @SportsCenter today. Thx to the Presidents for joining us @Nationals pic.twitter.com/BVjDR1YZap
The speech that Gary Cooper gave as Lou Gehrig in "The Pride of the Yankees" is actually different than the one that The Iron Horse actually gave at Yankee Stadium 76 years ago today. Compare the two

"The Work Comes First" is a permanent installation at Wieden+Kennedy which is intended to exemplify the mantra. With only limited outside help, this piece was hand crafted internally by W+K's creative technology team. About 900 solenoids and screws, over two miles of wire, many prototype iterations, and countless hours of tedious wire prep and soldering and programming and engineering; have all culminated into this experience that has to be seen, heard, and played with to truly appreciate.

Canadiens 'shocked' by online slurs - 0 Comments
The Canadiens didn't practice yesterday, but a select few players as well as coach Michel Therrien did address the media at the team hotel a day after they beat the Bruins, 4-3 in double overtime, on defenseman P.K. Subban's second power-play goal of the game.
But instead of Subban's heroics being the topic of discussion, the players and Therrien had to answer questions about racist tweets that followed each of Subban's goals in Game 1 and debris thrown at Subban and his teammates by some TD Garden fans after the overtime winner.

…But with Christ, what is broken can be fixed.
I think a lot of my readers come here not just for the relatable fashion, but because of my genuineness.
There were times in my life when I could be too genuine, making me vulnerable in situations that took WISDOM to avoid.
Then, there was a point when I was too closed off, afraid of getting hurt.
Now I am at a point where I am seeking God like I NEVER have before and I am becoming more balanced.
But… Storms. Will. Come.
And they will challenge areas where you are weak.
But with God, these circumstances will make you stronger.

March 22, 2011 — In a recent study, four out of five federal IT executives indicated that mission critical systems were in jeopardy if they do not modernize. The dilemma, of course, do you rip and replace or do you preserve and extend?
The study was commissioned by Unisys and executed by Meritalk. It consisted of questions posed to 166 federal IT leaders from MeriTalk.
47 percent of respondents work on older technologies that need to be modernized but, overall, only one in three thinks that application modernization is a priority in their agency.
Unisys has come up with a solution. It's called AMPS (Application Modernization Platform as a Service). Rather than taking years to complete, this new offering allows you to give an assessment of your current systems and incrementally upgrade service.
During this interview, Peter Gallagher, partner in the Civilian Federal Systems group for Unisys, explains how AMPS can assist in an incremental upgrade of applications – no matter the platform.
How the US Mint and NIST are perfecting the money-making process.

Accessing Green Verification Reports
Studies have shown that homebuyers are concerned with the environmental impact of home building. Therefore, it's important to emphasize that engineered wood is primarily made from wood fiber from small trees grown from sustainable, second-growth forests, thus preserving large old growth trees.
A clearer example is the fact that less than 1% of engineered lumber is wasted during production. This is because of the elimination of defects like knots, wane, pitch pockets and twists. Also, wider on-center spacing of engineered lumber joists enables fewer materials to be used on a project. And the "I" configuration of wood I-joists reduces the wood fiber required in a residential floor system by at least 50%. Continue reading
Greening Up A Kitchen Remodel
Remodeling a kitchen with an emphasis on going "green" means looking at everything from floor to ceiling, and all the details in between. It's not just about choosing Energy Star appliances, although that's certainly part of it.
Consider all possibilities for daylighting and choose energy efficient ambient lighting; when installing recessed lighting, be sure the fixture is sealed air-tight. Install LED task lighting, and save energy by installing dimmers and multiple switches.
Choose high R-value insulation that is resistant to moisture; install a vapor barrier to prevent rot, and reduce air leakage with good infiltration reduction practices. Insulate walls between rooms, too. Continue reading

Celtic origin paragraph[edit]
I deleted the following paragraph:
- Possible Celtic Origin
The name "Cherusci" may also point to a Celtic origin for the tribe as it ends similarly to the names of other Celtic tribes such as the Norisci, Taurisci, Scordisci. Celts were known to inhabit Germany from early times before Germanic migrations changed the ethnic makeup of the region. Germanicization of these pre-German Celtic tribes would have occurred gradually. Other tribes in Germany known to be of Celtic origin include the Cimbri, Ambrones, Sicambri, Volcae Tectosages and Boii (in Bohemia).http://www.sacred-texts.com/cla/tac/a12020.htm http://www.runestone.org/armin.html
The Cherusci might have had a Celtic origin. But the argumentation is nonsense in my opinion. The name ending tells nothing. The names are not in Celtic form but in latinized form. Other names are likewise written in this form, like the Falisci, who are Italic people. This would mean that the Cherusci and the Scordisci are also Italic tribes, while the Atrebates, the Carnutes and many other Gaulish, Brythonic, Caledonian and Irish tribes are not Celtic. Furthermore this paragraph claims that the Cimbri, Ambrones and Sicambri are of Celtic origin, though their name endings are different.
Another argument of this paragraph is that the Volcae Tectosages and the Boii are also of Celtic origin. But they are Celtic tribes anyway, so what? Also it claimes that the Cimbri, Ambrones and Sicambri are known to be of Celtic origin. I have often read articles about them, but never encountered that this would be known. The question of which origin they are is rather useless. According to archeological excavations the area of the Sicambri has formerly been inhabited by people of Celtic culture. The excavations show people of Germanic culture in later times. So Germanic people have migrated to this area and by number or by force subdued the local population. Thus the Sicambri were of Celtic and Germanic origin. You can now question of which origin the former Celtic population was, because other people lived there before and other people migrated here before and other people invaded here before.
The original area of settlement of the Cimbri and Ambrones is always located in Danmark, a region which is always described as Germanic and never as Celtic culture area. Thus it's most likely that these Germanc tribes are of Germanic origin. I only heard sometimes of speculations that these tribes are of Celtic origin because of some linguistical and cultural similarities. But these speculations are only speculations and don't tell anything factual. Similarities can alos be due to adoption of Celtic words and habits through trade and other contacts of neighbours.
Truchses (talk) 22:05, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
This is indeed mostly nonsensical. We don't know the Cimbri are Celtic, that is an outdated theory based on the similarity between the Latinised form of their name (which would have probably been something like *Ximbra in Proto-Germanic) and the much later Cymru and Cumbria, which would have been *combrox at the time and only meant "compatriots" rather than being an ethnic denonym. And that is why most historians do not think of them as a Celic tribe (that and the fact they are from Denmark that lacks certain features such as Celtic derived place-names that point to Celts never having occupied that region). As for the Sicambri they are not thought of as a Celtic tribe but a Germanic one though they were in the Celtic sphere of influence and thus would share some affinities with the Celtic tribes to the south of them. Some people (generally not historians) have claimed that the Sicambri are Celts however this is again due to an alleged similarity between Sicambri and Cymru, Cumbria, Cambria et cetera but that ignores the fact that their name has been written as many forms such as Sugambri, Sigambrer, Sugumbrer et cetera. Ambrones are claimed to be Celts by some because they shout their name as a war-cry (Celts have a monopoly on such a practice according to some it seems) and because a Celtic people have a name that resembles theirs when written in Latin.
Wikipedia's Celtic Romanticism obsession is rather ridiculous. But that is what you get when anyone can edit the place and use any source from the net, including many that reference Wikipedia itself, thus using a source that is taken from an "opinion" on Wikipedia (which many things on Wikipedia are) to "back-up" the "opinion" on Wikipedia. Nonsense! 184.108.40.206 (talk) 13:23, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Probably, it is mistake to remove the Keltic (not Celtic) theoretical origin for the name Cherusci, or to not even consider it as a possibility at all; -rusci appears to be tangentially related to the word rufus or "red hair". Either way, archeological evidence seems to reinforce the historical account that the Kelts or Galatians migrated from the outskirts of the Hellenic world specifically from the central Anatolian periphery of Asia Minor to the "Macedonian Greek Frontier" (the Balkans) toward what later becomes Saxony and to the British Isles. Although the Keltic populations were decimated, they were widely known before any Germanic contact. Also many theories state that the Germanic tribes also migrated to Northern Europe from Scandinavia and Asia, at least that is what most schools teach in European History classes. These are all sporadically written ancient accounts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 04:22, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- The removal is perfectly correct, the theory is highly dubious and the passage was completley unsourced. I believe the references at the end of the passage are only accidentally attached through poor editing over the years. But even taking them at face value, the first is to Tacitus, who only says that the Chatti were scared of the Cherusci, and the second is a (now deadlink) page of the Asatru Folk Assembly. In my opinion, contributions from anyone who believes that organisation is capable of producing a reliable source should be deleted with extreme prejudice without bothering to read. But in the spirit of WP:AGF I searced for archive copies of the page, which told me only that the Cherusci no longer exist.

Phillies' Sunday Doubleheader – A Tale of Two Teams
The first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals featured a team that could not string together hits and guys who looked like little leaguers on the field, dropping balls and missing bases. The second game showcased a group of young players having a good time playing baseball and smacking the ball all over the field. It is too bad that most of the crowd left after the first game; they missed a pretty fun offensive explosion.
In the first game, pitcher Kevin Correia was the victim of the Phillies sloppy defense. He gave up 3 runs in 5.1 innings, but only 1 of those runs was earned. Two Phillies errors helped the Nats with the other runs.
And the offense did little to help; the Phillies had only 5 hits in the game. Both RBI's were courtesy of Jeff Francour (who also had one of the errors in the game) who homered in the 2nd inning and singled a run home in the 6th.
The Phillies could not recover from the 2-3 deficit, even though 4 bullpen players pitched the final 3.2 innings without allowing a run.
The second game was a very different story. Rookie pitcher Severino Gonzalez collected both his 3rd major league win and his first major league hit and RBI with a sacrifice in the 2nd and a single in the 4th. He allowed 4 runs over 5.1 innings, which was not super, but still pretty good for a rookie pitching to a good offensive team.
And after only 5 hits in the first game, the Phillies' bats suddenly came to life. The team scored 4 runs in both the 2nd and 4th innings. Cesar Hernandez had an amazing game with 4 hits and Maikel Franco collected 3 RBI on 2 hits. Odubel Hererra had 3 hits and an RBI and both Cody Asche and Domonic Brown had 2 hits each. It was almost as if the anemic crowd made them all less nervous. They were finally able to relax and just swing away.
And you could even see the change in their faces. Players smiled and laughed running out to their positions and for once, actually appeared to be having a good time. You have to wonder, was it the crowd, the departure of their manager finally sinking in or just the result of a group of guys playing with other guys they actually feel comfortable with? I know this will cause controversy, but I think it is important to note that 6 of 9 starting players in game 2 were Hispanic (Game 1 had 3). And with many of them being so young, perhaps they are simply more comfortable playing with guys who speak their language, literally and metaphorically?
I think this is great, especially for younger players who need to find ways to fit in. And as they get older, they will adapt more easily and expand their friendships. But right now, maybe the camaraderie is helping? I could be wrong; this is just an observation of how players reacted to one another on the field. It was obvious to me that, for whatever reason, they were more relaxed and comfortable in the second game. Of course, maybe interim manager Pete Mackanin said something magical to them in between games? Who knows; anything is possible.
Speaking of the interim manager, I would like to add my comments on Ryne Sandberg's resignation last week. As I stated in my last post, I felt Sandberg had lost the clubhouse and was not long for this position. Apparently, he came to same conclusion. And while I do think his departure is for the best, I do not agree with just quitting. That is just my personal feeling; I think he should have stuck it out until he was fired. If he couldn't handle the pressure, he was clearly not the man for the job, which is unfortunate. I cannot imagine Sandberg getting another job in the majors, especially as a manager, after bailing on his team. So that is sad for him as well.
Here is the Photo Album from both games of the Doubleheader…enjoy!

Phillies Settle for Series Win Instead of Sweep
Despite their struggles, the Phillies actually had a good shot at sweeping the Nationals today to end the 3-game series. But they apparently had one thing working against them: Ryan Howard. I hate to be so blunt about it, but Howard absolutely stunk up the ballpark today. He struck out to end an inning 4 times, all with runners on base; and 3 of those 4 times, he had runners in scoring position. One would think after more than 10 years in the majors, he would learn to stop swinging at balls in the dirt; no such luck. Howard is now batting .150 only 6 games into the season.
But on to more positive things… Sean O'Sullivan got the spot start today and rewarded the Phillies for their confidence in him. O'Sullivan lasted 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits and 1 walk. Overall, he looked good and kept the team in the game.
Odubel Herrera, the rookie Rule 5 pick, continues to wow fans with his speed and hustle. After hitting the walk-off winner in last night's game for his first major league hit, Herrera collected 2 more hits today plus an RBI and a stolen base.
Cody Asche also had another great game with 3 hits, an RBI and a walk, putting veterans like Howard to shame. Asche is batting .429. Eventually, Darren Ruf replaced Howard in the game and began with a home run in the 7th to put the Phillies in a 2-2 tie, just like the night before.
But unlike Saturday's game, the Phillies could not come back in extra innings to win. Although, they never stopped trying, which was nice to see. Even after the bullpen allowed 2 runs in 10th, the Phillies scored in the bottom of the inning and then fell just short of the win, losing by a score of 3-4.
So there have been several encouraging signs to start the season, even though overall, this team is probably not going far with the youth they have and the dried up veterans. But it was a good game with some energy, which the Phillies have been missing the last several years.
Also, I just want to give kudos to pitcher Jerome Williams. Going back to last year, Williams is always out engaging with the fans and signing autographs, unlike most of the players. Today, he even scooped up what appeared to be a 3 or 4 year old fan out of the stands and played catch with him. He then literally picked the kid up and handed him back to his parents. It is a rarity to see a major league player truly appreciate his position and give back to the fans to consistently. The Phillies are lucky to have him!
So the team is off to New York for an early game tomorrow against the Mets. Cole Hamels will pitch and the game starts at 1:10pm.
And here is the full Photo Album from today's game.

A New Staff Ace for the Phillies?
Is Jerome Williams for real? After 3 starts with his third team of the year, Williams has 2 wins for the Phillies and a 1.77 ERA. He has out-pitched everyone on the Phils starting staff, including Cole Hamels. And on top of that, he even laid down a perfect safety squeeze in the 2nd inning, collecting only the 2nd RBI of his major league career. Williams has officially resurrected his previously dead career. And the Phillies went on to beat the Cardinals by a score of 7-4, taking 2 outs of 3 games in the series.
Another bright spot in this otherwise miserable season has been Ben Revere. All the Revere haters have now been silenced. Despite his weak arm, Revere worked hard and has improved his defense and is also now batting .314. He is in a 1st place tie for the best average in the National League with Justin Morneau. Although he can be frustrating at times, I had faith in Revere because he is a positive guy who always hustles and gives his best effort. The same cannot be said all of the Phillies outfielders. Keep it up, Ben! I am rooting for you!
Speaking of the outfield, can anyone tell me WHY Domonic Brown is still starting? Have we not yet seen enough? Whether he feels he is or not, Brown appears lazy and distracted in left field. His batting average is down to .226. It is time to give someone else a shot…it has been time for a while now. You have to wonder who is really calling the shots with the line-up; Ryne Sandberg or Ruben Amaro Jr.? If it is Sandberg, I have to seriously question his judgment. If it is Amaro, then Sandberg needs to stand up and explain to his GM that this is HIS team to run. Because this is getting very old.
Aside from that annoyance, the Phillies offense finally put some runs on the board, which was a nice change for a Sunday afternoon. Everyone except Ryan Howard had a hit and Jimmy Rollins smacked a 2-run homer.
The Phillies start a 3-game series with the Nationals Monday night. Maybe they can spoil the Nats 1st place fun? In the meantime, here is the Photo Album from today's win.

Back to Reality as Nats Pound the Phillies
Did you get your hopes up after that 5-game winning streak? And the 5-game winning streak last month? Well, today was a statement game for the Phillies in their last outing before the All-Star break. And the statement, summed up in the nice photo to the right of Marlon Byrd getting hit by a pitch with nothing to show for it, was this: "We suck; let the trading begin."
So just how bad was today's game? Let us count the ways…for starters, Kyle Kendrick apparently cannot get out of any 1st inning without allowing at least 3 runs. And today he did that against the Nationals without recording a single out. So we were treated to this lovely home run and tongue lashing by our old pal, Jayson Werth.
Later in the game, Kendrick was pulled after 88 pitches which, even though I have obvious reservations about KK, I felt was a big mistake in that spot. Kendrick had already struck out Bryce Harper twice in the game. So why when Harper came up again was Kendrick pulled in favor of Mario Hollands? Hollands proceeded to give up a single to him. Harper scored later that inning and we got yet another Nationals treat, Harper's hair rounding the bases. Thanks, Mario!
And then there was the Phillies offense, or lack thereof. Most of the offense consisted of players looking straight up into the air to admire their pop-ups or looking down at foul balls. It was not pretty. In the end, they squeezed out 3 runs, but it was far too little, too late as the Nats scored 10 runs.
Pretty much the only entertainment in this game was watching Byrd chug some mystery red substance before the game (5-Hour Energy, perhaps? If so, it didn't work well.) and watching Chase Utley dig dirt out of his cleats.
Here is the full Photo Album from Sunday's game. The Phillies will return from the All-Star break on 7/18/14 with yet another likely depressing series against the Braves. Despite showing signs of life here and there, this team is going nowhere. Now we must all brace ourselves for big changes…they are coming soon.

Phillies Take 2 of 3 From the Nats
The Phillies just barely squeaked out a 1-0 win over the Nationals today thanks mostly to great pitching. Cole Hamels was scheduled to start but was unable to go as he has the flu. So Roberto Hernandez, who had not gotten out of the 6th inning yet this season, filled it.
Hernandez was outstanding, going 7 1/3 innings without allowing a run to score. When he first started to pitch, it looked like he would not be able to throw a strike as he walked 2 batters in the first inning. But he settled down and wound up with 3 walks and only 4 hits allowed.
The lone Phillies run of the game came in the first inning. After a Jimmy Rollins triple, Chase Utley singled to score Rollins. Utley had a very strange day. After that RBI, he sprinted around the bases on a Marlon Byrd pop fly and got doubled up. Maybe he forgot there was only 1 out? And then later he committed an error in the field when he totally missed the feed from Jayson Nix at third on what may have been a double play.
But those blunders did not come back to haunt the Phillies luckily. And that is a very good thing especially considering the Phillies only managed 4 hits in the game, including a Ben Revere triple. They also had some very nice plays in the field, which helped.
The weather was very interesting as well. It was cold, very windy and bits and pieces of wrappers, bags and dust were floating around everywhere. Some of the shadows in the field were brutal by the time the relievers came in too.
My eyes were so dry, at one point, I thought maybe I was seeing things. See the first photo below to the left…there are 3 guys there, right. Nope…check out the 2nd photo on the right. I guess Nix is just so small he blended right in.
Check out the full Photo Album from the game for more interesting stuff. There are very nice photos of Domonic Brown with his mother and VERY pregnant girlfriend pre-game during the Mother's Day celebration. I also took some photos of our old friend, Kevin Frandsen. Miss him….sigh!
So a weird 2-game home and away series stars tomorrow with the Blue Jays; 2 games here and 2 in Toronto. Game time Monday is 7:05pm and Kyle Kendrick will pitch.

The Phillies Week In Weird
This has certainly been an interesting week for the Phillies. Let us review the many weird happenings:
– First, manager Charlie Manual got the axe last Friday and Ryne Sandberg took over.
– People cried, complained and gave Charlie lots of hugs.
– Manual admitted to CSN Philly's Leslie Gudel that he knew he could not win this year or last year with the team assembled as it was. Shocker. Not really…
– On Monday, David Murphy of Philly.com posted an article about how the front office was to blame for the Phillies failures. Also not a shocker…
– The Phillies Triple-A Iron Pigs gave away a free funeral valued at $10,000 as part of a promotion. Seriously.
– After 2 losses, Sandberg got his first win as manager on Sunday.
– Sandberg got that win, despite starting Michael Martinez at short stop. Martinez was boo'ed throughout the game, I assume because starting him or just the fact that he is on this team at all, is emblematic of a very troubled 2013 Phillies season.
– On Tuesday, Roy Halladay made a rehab start in Lakewood. He appear to be near-MLB ready.
– After Tuesday's game, Roy Halladay spoke out on the firing of Manual.
In his comments, he added that he thought things were being "overlooked" and said, "I mean guys being at places on time, being on the field on time, taking ground balls and taking extra bp and all those little thing that nobody thinks make a difference."
As those word emanated from Roy's mouth, the Phillies experienced something like a meteor/asteroid shower as their happy little universe slowly imploded. All Halladay really said was what we have all been thinking/wondering about for years. This team lacks discipline and focus.
But the media took those comments to a whole new level, posting headlines that seemed to indicate that Halladay endorsed Manual's firing, to which he took great offense.
– Also on Tuesday, the Phillies hosted their 6th annual Jewish Heritage Celebration. I think we can all agree that releasing Delmon Young prior to this event was a good idea. Because, man, that would have been AWKWARD.
– On Wednesday, Halladay "clarified" his comments and reiterated his love for Charlie, saying he did not endorse anyone being fired.
– Also on Wednesday, the Phillies took out the Washington Nationals's trash by signing Roger Bernadina, who was cut by the Nats on Monday. Bernadina is hitting .176 this season and has not had a hit in over a month. He will fit right in.
– On Thursday, Philly.com reported on the secret pornography stash at Veteran's Stadium, presumably, because they had nothing better to report on.
And yes, all of that and more happened in just under a week. Is this a great time to be a bored Phillies fan, or what?
Maybe don't answer that question. Please feel free to go on with your life as originally planned. Thank you!

The Baseball Blues
Hey Phillies fans…anyone else out there suffering from a severe case of the baseball blues? It is hard not to be down in the dumps after watching this Phillies team continue to suck, game after game. Getting swept in a 3-game series by the Nationals this weekend had to be the pinnacle of shame and embarrassment in an already dreadful season.
Even dumping Delmon Young could not cheer me up. Young, who they never should have signed in the first place, was designated for assignment on Friday and replaced by White Sox reject, Casper Wells. Nothing on Wells' stat sheet gives me any reason to hope either. This is the 5th team for Wells this year; that alone is telling.
Just three days earlier, the Phillies also nixed Laynce Nix. I guess his .180 batting average was just not getting it done (*note sarcasm here).
Know which other Phillies are also just not getting it done? You guessed right…ALL of them! So perhaps the entire team will soon be designated for assignment and subsequently be replaced by little league-trained robots. That would at least sell some tickets.
Oh, Jayson Werth, where have you gone? That's right…to the Nationals, where with 7 hits, 4 RBI and a homer he nearly single-handedly beat the Phillies in all 3 games this weekend. He did look a lot better in red pinstripes….sigh.
The Phillies were outscored 23 to 7 runs this weekend and outhit 36 to 16. I could count the Phillies runs and hits on my fingers, but had to bust out the calculator to find the totals for the Nats. That alone was depressing.
So what reason do we all have to keep watching this season? Here are a few:
– It is like a train wreck; one cannot help but wonder what form this ongoing disaster will take next.
– With 45 games left, can the Phillies still prevent Charlie Manual from getting his 1,000th career as a manager? He has 999 right now and #1,000 is looking tenuous.
– Can a guy with a .151 batting average this year who is named after a ghost bring this team back from the dead? C'mon Casper, you've got to at least try!
– Will the Phillies single-handedly put Papa John's pizza out of business with their "50% Off After Phillies Win and score 5 or more runs" deal?
– Every time the Phillies bullpen gives up a run, I get to drink another Mai Tai! (Insert your own drinking game here)
That's all I've got. Oh, and the Braves are up next…what could be more fun than watching the division leader beat the Phillies to a pulp? Game time is 7:10pm. Whoo…hoo.

Bad Weekend Series Leaves Phillies in Limbo
Remember back on Friday night when the Phillies pounded the Mets to the tune of 13 runs? Remember all those hits and homers? Ah, memories…
Now back to reality…and reality has hit the Phillies hard this weekend as they dropped 2 games out of 3 to the Mets. Saturday's game was winnable, but Cole Hamels floundered again and the offense blew many opportunities. Sunday's game was an utter disaster that marked the Phillies 9th time being shut-out this year.
Pitcher Cliff Lee was, once again, killed by the long ball. The 5 Mets' runs came off 2 homers and both were hit with 2 outs in the inning. With All-Star game starter Matt Harvey on the mound for the Mets, Lee did not stand a chance unless he controlled the long ball, which he did not.
The Phillies offense was just as awful; they managed only 3 hits off Harvey and piled up 12 strikeouts. Domonic Brown got the Golden Sombrero with 4 K's in the game. Was it not just 2 days ago this team scored 13 runs? After their performance on Sunday, you would never imagine this was the same group of guys.
Granted, Harvey is one of the best pitchers in the game right now. But the 12 K's tells you that the Phillies could not even manage to make contact with the ball. Zero walks then equals zero patience at the plate as well. It was just plain ugly.
And now the Phillies are once again in limbo as management decides whether or not they have any shot at all at making the playoffs. Personally, I do not see it happening. This team has lacked consistency all season long; they have too many injuries and no sense of urgency. But since both the Braves and the Nationals went cold this weekend as well, the Phillies did not lose or gain any ground in the division. And that will make the decision to buy or sell before the trade deadline even more difficult.
Then again, GM Ruben Amaro Jr. may already have made up his mind after this weekend's performance. And certainly no one can blame him if he goes into sell-mode. This team has not given anyone any real reason to hope, especially after their 2 best pitchers bombed on back-to-back nights.
The Phillies are off today before starting a 3-game series with the Cardinals on Tuesday. The Cards have the best record in the majors…and that is not good news for the Phillies.

Phillies Head to All-Star Break at .500
It was a very weird weekend for the Phillies heading into the All-Star break today. Sunday's game commenced a 3-game series with the White Sox that included a postponed game turned into a doubleheader, during which another rain delay occurred. All 3 games went extra-innings, with the teams playing 24 innings total in one day; each game on Saturday lasted exactly 3 hours, 53 minutes, excluding the 41 minute rain delay. In the midst of all that, Ben Revere broke his foot by fouling a ball off it; he will be out for about 6-8 weeks. Very sad news for the Phillies :O(
Sunday's game went 10 innings, 3 hours and 26 minutes. Jonathan Papelbon blew his 5th save of the year in this one, denying Cole Hamels yet another win. But Hamels pitched very well, allowing just 2 runs over 8 innings, which is what kept the Phillies in line for the win.
The offense started strong, but sputtered again later in the game, which has become a pattern with this team. Still, they managed enough runs to get by. Hamels, in addition to pitching well, led the team in hits with two; he also had a fabulous sacrifice bunt and a crucial RBI in the 4th inning.
The defense was a bit better on Sunday, although Chase Utley still had a blunder. Luckily, no damage was done.
The only real damage was Papelbon's blown save. However, his teammates got him off the hook. Utley redeemed his previous fielding error by leading off the 10th inning with a double. And John Mayberry Jr., getting playing time since Revere is on the DL, singled the winning run in for a 4-3 victory.
Prior to the game, the Phillies All-Star's, Cliff Lee and Domonic Brown, got their jerseys:
This win was a nice way to send them off to New York and finally put the Phillies at the .500 mark.
The Phils are now 6.5 games out of 1st place and a half-game behind the 2nd place Nationals. But whether or not they can make a run at the playoffs still seems like a long shot after watching their struggles against a last place White Sox team this weekend.
In 3 games, they left 25 men on base and went 6-for-28 with runners in scoring position. In Saturday's 1st game loss, the Sox practically handed the game to them. But with runners on 2nd and 3rd and no outs in the 9th, they failed to score. That just cannot happen. Similar situations played out in the 10th and 11th innings with the same result. It was gut-wrenching; very difficult to watch.
Now with Revere gone and the bullpen situation still tenuous, there is no way to know how the 2nd half will play out, but the odds are certainly stacked against the Phillies.
While we all wait and see, here is the Photo Album from Sunday's game. Enjoy!

Phillies Squeak Out Series Win Over Nationals
With a 3-1 win on Thursday night, the Phillies managed to just barely squeak out their 3rd win in the 4-game series with the Nationals…and it was not without drama, as usual. Even with 4 errors in the game, somehow, this team found a way to win.
Of those 4 errors, 3 belonged to Chase Utley. He was so off-kilter in the field, one may have wondered whether or not someone spiked his Gatorade. But he did have a hit in the game and also ran the bases well, scoring a crucial run in bottom of the 8th inning.
The real heroes of the night however, were Darin Ruf and Kevin Frandsen…again. Ruf started off the 7th inning with a double off the Nat's lone All-Star, Jordan Zimmerman. Carlos Ruiz bunted him to third and then, Mr. Clutch, Kevin Frandsen stepped to the plate. Frandsen smacked a double into no-man's land in right-centerfield to score Ruf and give the Phillies their first lead of the night.
In the midst of all that, Kyle Kendrick managed to pitch a very solid 7 innings, despite all the fielding errors and the lack of run support. And then both Antonio Bastardo and Jonathan Papelbon broke recent routine and pitched one drama-free inning a piece to nail down the win. It was as if the stars had finally aligned….
But even after taking 3 of 4 from the Nats, and 2 of 3 from the Braves, the Phillies still have a lot of work to do.
Slightly off topic here, did anyone else see the interview with Darin Ruf that aired a few days ago on CSN Phillly? He was asked why his offense has improved since being called up. While I cannot find a video of this anywhere (and there may be a reason for that), he said basically that he was taking advantage of the "detailed scouting reports" that were available in the majors, but not in the minors.
Here is my question – do they seriously not have scouting reports in Triple-A? Or perhaps they have generic, inferior reports? Either way, am I the only one who thinks this is a major problem? You cannot tell me this organization cannot afford to pay someone to produce minor league scouting reports. Heck, I'll do it for a very modest paycheck and some free baseball!
Just sayin'… Thoughts anyone?

Jeff Withey RumorsAll NBA Players
Eric Pincus: New Orleans Pelicans made Jeff Withey and Norris Cole restricted free agents @BBallInsiders basketballinsiders.com/new-orleans-pe…
Eric Pincus: The New Orleans Pelicans have given Norris Cole and Jeff Withey qualifying offers to make them restricted free agents @BBallInsiders

On Thursday, the Pelicans' workout group included forwards Anthony Davis, Jason Smith, Arinze Onuaku, Darius Miller and Lance Thomas, guards Austin Rivers, Brian Roberts, rookie center Jeff Withey and Evans. "Its been great that all of us have been willing to sacrifice and work together as a team,'' Evans said. "Anytime guys want to come out and do that, that's a good start. We're looking to make a push to the playoffs and this is where it's got to start in the offseason.''
The New Orleans Pelicans announced today that they have signed center Jeff Withey. Per club policy, terms of the contract were not released. Withey, a product of the University of Kansas, played on the New Orleans Pelicans Summer League team, leading the club with 1.50 blocks per game.
John Reid: Guard Pierre Jackson and center Jeff Withey will make their Pelicans' debut on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks in the summer league.
"We're excited to welcome Greivis to the Kings," said Kings General Manager Pete D'Alessandro. "He established himself as one of the league's most talented young point guards last season and we're confident he'll continue this trajectory in Sacramento. "We also want to thank Tyreke for the contribution he made to the Kings organization. We wish him the best in New Orleans."
The New Orleans Pelicans acquired guard Tyreke Evans from the Sacramento Kings and center Jeff Withey from the Portland Trail Blazers in a three-team trade, it was announced today by General Manager Dell Demps. "We are very excited to welcome Tyreke and Jeff to the Pelicans organization," said Demps. "They are both young, talented players that fit in our system and can contribute to the success of our team moving forward."
The Portland Trail Blazers have acquired center Robin Lopez and guard Terrel Harris from the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for the draft rights to Jeff Withey, future second round draft considerations and cash, it was announced today by General Manager Neil Olshey.
The New Orleans Pelicans acquired guard Tyreke Evans from the Sacramento Kings and center Jeff Withey from the Portland Trail Blazers in a three-team trade, it was announced today by General Manager Dell Demps. "We are very excited to welcome Tyreke and Jeff to the Pelicans organization," said Demps. "They are both young, talented players that fit in our system and can contribute to the success of our team moving forward." In the exchange, the Pelicans dealt Robin Lopez and Terrel Harris to Portland and Greivis Vasquez to Sacramento.

Net Daily: Others who #Nets worked before hiring Kidd: Reggie Bullock, Tony Snell, Jeff Withey and Archie Goodwin. All first rounders, say Nets.
The Indiana Pacers will hold their fifth workouts open to the media with prospects for the 2013 NBA Draft on Tuesday, June 18 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Prospects will work out in front of team officials and conduct interviews with the media beginning at 12:30 PM. Players scheduled to workout for the Pacers on Saturday are Matt Dellavedova (St. Mary's), Angel Sharpless (Elizabeth City State), Jamaal Franklin (San Diego State), Zeke Marshall (Akron), and Jeff Withey (Kansas). The list of players is subject to change.
Jeff Withey became something of a menace in the paint for opponents in four years at the University of Kansas. The 6-foot-11 center, who was one of four prospects to work out for the Clippers Monday, blocked 3.8 shots per game his senior season and showed plenty of instinct as a help defender in his four years in Lawrence. But the workout process prior to the June 27 Draft has the lanky big man trying to show NBA personnel he can do more. "I want people to see that I have a little bit of an offensive game," Withey said. "I've been working a lot on my 15-foot jump shot and I feel pretty confident right now. I didn't shoot the best today, in this workout, but overall I'm feeling pretty happy with it."
With the 2013 NBA Draft less than two weeks away, the Clippers will ratchet up their prospect workout schedule this week. The team will begin a slate of four workouts in five days with Monday's mix of big men and guards. The group is highlighted by Kansas senior Jeff Withey, who was one of the nation's top shot blockers his final two years in Lawrence. Joining Withey will be forward Kenny Kadji (Miami) and guards Rodney McGruder (Kansas State) and Matthew Dellavedova (St. Mary's).
The Wolves worked out Kansas center Jeff Withey and Brazilian center Lucas Nogueira — both players they'd consider with their 26th overall pick — and four others Thursday before Saunders left town. They'll resume Target Center workouts Sunday, when UCLA forward Shabazz Muhammad and Kentucky guard Archie Goodwin, among others, are expected.
Several mock drafts at one point predicted the Nets would take Withey 22nd overall, although now DraftExpress has him going 29th and NBAdraft.net has him slipping to Sacramento in the second round at No. 36 overall. "Jeff Withey (impressed with) his size, his length, the ability to make an impact at the rim,'' said director of player personnel Gregg Polinsky, who oversaw a workout with a total of six players today at the Nets' training facility. "I thought he was good, (I was) not disappointed at all. He stepped out; we had him shoot some 3s at the end, because we think that's one of the things he can do, be a pick-and-pop 5. Those are hard to find. Obviously he gives you a presence at the rim defensively, a good solid defensive rebounder in college and he comes from a place in Kansas where it's not done any better.''
Former Kansas big man Jeff Withey will work out for both New York teams this week and could be an attractive option in the first round. The 7-foot, 235-pound center visits the Knicks Monday and the Nets Tuesday. The Nets pick No. 22 and the Knicks choose No. 24 in the June 27 NBA Draft.
The Nets are the only team to schedule Sapara to this point, but he has been tabbed as an alternate workout for the Knicks if someone pulls out according to Bass. Sapara is the sixth confirmed Nets workout, joining Greg Echenique (June 19), Trevin Parks (June 20), MoMo Jones (June 20), Gorgui Dieng (TBD), Jeff Withey (TBD) and Jamaal Franklin (TBD).
Joining Ledo in his afternoon workout session Monday were players such as Kansas center Jeff Withey, Missouri guard Phil Pressey, Ole Miss forward Reggie Buckner, St. Mary's guard Matt Dellavedova and North Carolina guard/forward Reggie Bullock – all players who could be available when Denver picks at No. 27 in the first round. Ledo can see himself fitting in nicely with the Nuggets, especially with Ty Lawson running the show.
Also expected to work out Monday are Patriot League player of the year Mike Muscala of Bucknell and Summit League player of the year Nate Wolters of South Dakota State. They are scheduled to be joined by Mississippi forward Reggie Buckner, North Carolina swingman Reggie Bullock, Saint Mary's guard Matt Dellavedova, Wake Forest guard C.J. Harris, Gonzaga forward Elias Harris, Providence guard Ricky Ledo, North Texas forward Tony Mitchell and Kansas center Jeff Withey.

2165 Tasting Notes
It's time for another sample-busting, stash-cleaning cold brewed iced tea. I was looking through samples for one that would be good iced and that was almost empty, and came across the Coconut Vanilla White from TeaFrog, which I did not enjoy hot but found to be delicious iced. There wasn't quite enough for my usual cold brewed formula, so I threw in a bit of Vanilla Jasmine from Golden Moon. In the end the blend was about 3.5 tsp Coconut Vanilla White and 1.5 tsp Vanilla Jasmine. It turned out pretty tasty, unsurpisingly. I wondered if the black tea-based Vanilla Jasmine would overwhelm the white even in a small quantity, but there's still plenty of coconutty white in the flavor.
Thankfully I'm feeling much better today. Whether I'm actually improving or it's just all the new cold medication I have now, I don't know, but either way I'll take it. I thought I'd dig into another one of my samples from SimplyJenW. Thanks! I know these Countess/Lady Grey teas are usually more of afternoon type blends, but I don't follow the "tea rules" anyway, heh.
The dry leaf smells very orangey, with perhaps a hint of brighter bergamot backing it up. Steeped, I again get that orange aroma, along with some black tea. The orange is pretty fresh and juicy smelling. The flavor pretty much follows the aroma pretty closely. Primarily orange, but with just a hint of the brighter bergamot in the background. The tea base is smooth and pleasant, with a bit of maltiness, but it's not a very strong component of the sip. This reads as a nice orange tea with a little something extra!
Yay, I finally get to try this tea! This was really the main impetus for my swap with Angrboda, because of this tea that everyone raves about and sounds perfect for me. Thanks for sending me a sample, I'm very excited!
The dry leaf smells wonderfully like raspberries. Not fake raspberry flavoring (like the other Raspberry Oolong I have from ZenTea), but real, juicy raspberries. The leaf is interesting, and especially when it's steeped it almost reminds me more of a black/green blend in appearance than an oolong. Hmm, my nose seems to have stopped working properly since I last blew it, so hopefully it will come through for me and let me enjoy this tea! Right now I can get a bit of the aroma from the steeped cup, which has that same lovely raspberry aroma with some roastier oolong notes behind it, I think. Kind of like raspberries baked in a tart or something.
It doesn't taste quite like what I expected (not quite sure what that was, but whatever), but it's nice. The raspberry is light and certainly doesn't overwhelm the cup. My first impression is that of a light, roasted oolong, then I get a hint of bitterness (not sure where that's coming from), then the raspberry comes out, a little bit tart, and finally back to a somewhat bakey oolong. I don't really get any sweetness from this one, rather it's an overall fairly tart cup, surprisingly. Overall it's very pleasant, and I will enjoy my sample, but I'm kind of glad I'm not blown away by it because now I don't have to be sad about shipping from Denmark. :) I will of course try it again when I'm not sick just in case my nose was messing with me a bit on this cup.
Being sick is getting really old. That is all.
I hope you feel better soon. I had a cough for months last spring and the loss of sleep was doing me in. I felt like I was in a Bronte novel ;)
Fortunately I can sleep through almost anything, including my own coughing. And I could possibly deal with the coughing if my stomach wasn't mysteriously bothering me again… :P
Blech and sympathy to you. Are you able to stay at home with a blankie or do you have to go out and face the world feeling icky?
Unfortunately I am going to a scientific conference next week and I have to prepare, so I have to drag myself to work regardless. At least I have lots of good tea here!
I am having a horrible, horrible coughing fit tonight and I just can't stop this painful hacking. It sucks. My boyfriend said maybe I should have some tea, that the vapors might calm my lungs a bit, and though I initially didn't think it would help, what the heck, maybe it would work. This tisane was definitely the one to turn to… if anything was going to help me, it would be the mint and eucalyptus in this one.
And it might be helping a bit. I'm still coughing, but it's calmed down a bit. It's just an all around soothing cup. This really is an awesome infusion, and when I run out of the few tea bags of it that I have you can believe I will be trying to find it online.
I wanted a lighter tea this afternoon since I think all that black tea was being a little hard on my stomach, so I decided to give this one a try. Plus it's supposed to be all health-improving and such, so it can't hurt, right?
The dry leaf smells pungently of rose and lemon. It's one of those teas that smells so strongly it's hard to put your nose in the pouch to smell it. Primarily rose, and that holds over to the steeped tea (though it's not nearly so strong). The flavor is also primarily rose with an accompaniment of bright lemon. The rose in rose blacks is usually warm, rich, and full, like roses in a vase at home; this rose is fresh, bright and green, like a rose in the garden. It makes me wish that I had a rose green that was actually scented traditionally, as opposed to rose flavoring added like this one, but I don't know if they make those. The rosemary and sage don't really make themselves known in the taste, besides probably edging the rose toward a more herbaceous flavor rather than a candy-sweet rose. The green tea is a bit grassy, but not a major player in the flavor. Overall a drinkable, pleasant tea, but I feel like it lacks some depth.
I ordered a ton of fruit-flavored tea samples from this company with a groupon, but I haven't gotten around to tasting them because I have so many other samples that seem more appealing right now! But I decided I wanted to try this one this afternoon. I was surprised when I really looked at the dried leaf and saw it was made up of what looked like very small pieces of black tea leaves along with some crushed powdered tea in the bottom. I'm still not sure what exactly I'm looking at when I look in the steeping basket; it looks like little nodules of tea leaves, but they don't seem to unroll or anything.
Anyway, the dry leaf smells very mango-passion, and there's a lot of fine flower petals in the mix as well. A fair amount of tea and flower dust fell through the steeping basket, so I hope it doesn't oversteep too much. The steeped tea smells like tropical mango passion fruit, but it's a bit more subdued. I don't get a strong black tea aroma like I might expect in that situation, though. The flavor is decent. I must make a mental note to steep it at a slightly lower temp, and try to shake out the powdered tea through the strainer before steeping. It's a bit bitter but not too much (though I think it's getting worse as the tea dust in the bottom is oversteeping). The mango and passion fruit flavors are nice and natural tasting, but the black tea base is uninspiring. I can hardly tell what it tastes like other than a little bitter. I certainly don't get any floral notes. Perhaps when brewed a little more gently it will yield a better cup; this one's fine and drinkable, but nothing to write home about. I bet it will be tasty iced, though!
Back at work, and back to my collection of teas. This one comes to me thanks to Angrboda! I was deciding between this one and the black currant from Harney, but I decided I wanted more different kinds of berries in my cup this morning. I'm not a huge fan of strawberry or cherry flavored things on their own, but mixed up with other fruits I do enjoy them. The dry leaf on this one smells intensely of berries and those "red fruits". The Argentinians love the "red fruits" flavor in jams and teas, and this definitely smells like some of the things I had in Argentina.
I brewed it at a lower temp like the Kusmi Caramel, which resulted in a very flavorful and very smooth cup. I'm a little too out of it from my cold to try and distinguish individual berry flavors and aromas, but suffice to say that they all meld very well together. It really is a true "red fruits" flavor… no individual fruit overwhelms the others and sticks out, and they all blend to form a fruity, berry-y, "red", delicious taste. I was a little worried when other reviews called Kusmi teas "lightly flavored" since with blacks I prefer fairly bold flavoring (though not usually to the point that it overwhelms the tea completely), but this tea is very well flavored (perhaps because of the low steep time) and the black tea base complements the flavors well. Definitely a nice blend!
I can't usually identify all four in a cup either. Sometimes I think it's mostly cherry or mostly something else, and the others are either found in the background, identified with a sort of squint, or blurred together into the umbrella-flavour of 'fruity'. My boyfriend tends to prefer a fruity black in evenings and afternoon, so we've always got one. I bought a 250g tin of this one as I'd had it before and knew I liked it. It's halfway gone already. O.o I need to quiz him on his preference on this as opposed to some of the others we've tried because gosh! It's not THAT long ago I bought the tin… Anyway, that was a tangent. I'm glad you liked this one as well. :)
Yeah, thanks for sending this one! I'm impressed with the Kusmi teas I've had, and I'm glad they're easily accessible to me at the Kusmi store in NYC.
It's been a while since I've had Paris since I've been having so many new teas these days. It's kind of a shame, because Paris is so amazing! It's really very comforting, like an old friend. Between this and Tower of London, these are the teas I can always turn to and they're always satisfying and delicious.
