Hmmm, turns out it still happens without vsync. So, even with vsync disabled, upon first loading Crysis the game is very dark and stuttery with minimum FPS dipping into the single digits at times. After a single alt-enter the game's brightness appears higher (although, the in-game settings for brightness, contrast, and gamma do not appear to have changed), and the game runs perfectly smooth with minimum FPS rarely dipping into the 30s. I've adjusted the in-game brightness/contrast/gamma so that after the alt-enter the game appears how I think it should. When I start the game now it is very very dark, and after an alt-enter it's just right.
Did you try to delete/deactivate the HDTV 1080p/24Hz profiles in NVCP? Maybe you can force it to use the higher refresh rates?
I'm not worried about getting a higher refresh rate anymore. Even when it's synced at 24fps, after doing the alt-enter thing once, the game is
smooth with absolutely no input lag. Also, I like the cinematic look of 24fps. My problem before was all the stuttering, but an alt-enter appears to completely resolve that problem. I have no clue why the game is initially stuttery, but I can handle having to do an alt-enter once to get it working how I want it to. The game looks stunning on my new 47" LED at 1920x1080, DX10, very high, 24p, 4xMSAA + 4xTSSAA. Also, I just bought and installed a Dolby Digital Live enabled sound card, so I've got the visuals complimented with 5.1 surround sound via optical cable to my A/V receiver. It's really a whole new experience.

Carlos Carrasco Rumors
Pitcher Notes: Bradley, Carrasco, Garcia
Archie Bradley of the Diamondbacks is set for his big-league debut against Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers Saturday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com writes. "I mean, it's exciting," says Bradley. "He's one of the best, if not the best, in all of baseball. I just take it as a challenge, like why not start my career against someone like him?" Heading into the season, Baseball Prospectus ranked Bradley the No. 11 prospect in baseball, with MLB.com ranking him No. 15 and Baseball America putting him at No. 25. He likely missed out on a chance to make his big-league debut in 2014 after struggling with an elbow injury. The Diamondbacks liked what they saw from Bradley this spring, though, and traded Trevor Cahill to clear space for him. Here are more quick notes on pitchers.
- The criticism Carlos Carrasco has received for his four-year extension with the Indians is misplaced, Terry Pluto of the Plain Dealer writes. Carrasco has four children, an injury history and an uneven pre-2014 performance record, so it made sense for him to take $22MM guaranteed, even though he gave away his first season of free-agent eligibility and the rights to two more seasons beyond that.
- Orioles manager Buck Showalter is "proud" of Rule 5 pick Jason Garcia, Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports. Garcia pitched 2 2/3 innings against the Blue Jays Friday, allowing one run and two walks while notching two strikeouts. The 22-year-old pitched in the lower levels of the Red Sox system last season, so he's making a big leap to the Majors this year. "If he can get going and get strike one, he has a chance to have some success," says Showalter.

Reactions To Recent Starting Pitcher Extensions
Over the past week, we've seen multi-year deals signed by Yordano Ventura (five years, $23MM), Carlos Carrasco (four years, $22MM), Corey Kluber (five years, $38.5MM) and Rick Porcello (four years, $82.5MM). As usual, there's been no shortage of reactions to these contracts, and here are a few reactions/opinions from around the baseball world to each of the deals…
- Signing Ventura to a five-year deal was a necessary risk for the Royals, opines Fangraphs' Craig Edwards. Ventura has long been seen as a risky commodity due to his smaller stature and a fear that he may be bullpen-bound, and he also produced results that were more good than great in 2014. However, only three Royals starters — Zack Greinke, James Shields and Ervin Santana –have matched Ventura's modest 2.4 fWAR over the past five seasons. The Royals' rotation is typically occupied by journeymen starters, and the upside for a mid-rotation or front-line starter at that price makes the risk worth taking, writes Edwards, even if there's a risk he may not hold up as a starter.
- The Carrasco and Kluber extensions appear to be the latest in a long line of contracts signed with the intent of developing a long-term core. As GM Chris Antonetti said recently on MLB Network Radio (Twitter link): "This nucleus is going to be in place for awhile. Ownership has given us incredible resources."
- Mutually beneficial extensions have been a key component of successful Indians' seasons since John Hart began pioneering them in the 1990s, writes MLB.com's Jordan Bastian. Bastian spoke to other members of that growing core — Michael Brantley, Jason Kipnis and Yan Gomes — each of whom has signed extensions of their own in the past year-plus. The Cleveland core expressed excitement about being able to grow and express excitement together in the coming years as they enter their primes.
- Cleveland.com's Zack Meisel looks at the financial implications of the latest pair of Indians extensions, and he also spoke with Antonetti about the decision to offer Carrasco a long-term deal based on a relatively small sample of success. "His mix of pitches has always been a strength from the time we acquired him," said Antonetti. "But we've seen the continued development and maturity and improvement in his routines, his consistency and his focus and we saw it translate to his success as a starting pitcher last year. We believe that now, not only does he have the physical attributes, but the other attributes to be a successful starter."
- Carrasco's deal may appear team-friendly, but an irregular heartbeat that required offseason surgery and a newborn baby played a role in Carrasco's decision to accept the contract, writes Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.
- Dave Cameron of Fangraphs and FOX Sports writes that Porcello's age-23 through age-25 seasons mirror those of Justin Masterson, and Masterson experienced a breakout in his age-26 season — the same that Porcello is currently entering. While that certainly doesn't guarantee a breakout for Porcello, Cameron notes that the Sox are betting on a breakout or step forward of sorts — one that would've launched Porcello's free agent price considerably beyond the $82.5MM figure upon which he agreed. Judging contracts based on average annual value is all too common a mistake, Cameron notes, as the years accompanying that AAV are a critical factor of any deal. Boston is showing a tendency to pay a premium to keep contracts short in an effort to avoid rostering expensive non-performers down the line, with Porcello's deal and the Hanley Ramirez contract serving as recent examples, he adds.
- Tim Britton of the Providence Journal offers a similar take, using CC Sabathia as an example of the dangers of signing a pitcher into their 30s. As Britton notes, Sabathia would've been one of the best free agent signings in history had the Yankees let him walk after he exercised an opt out clause following the third season of his initial contract. However, they re-signed him through age-36, and Sabathia's contract has become an albatross on the Yankees. While Porcello isn't as good as prime Sabathia and likely never will be — a fact Britton acknowledges — his situation still aids the argument that it's better to pay a premium for a pitcher in his prime than commit exorbitant amounts of money to their decline years.
- I'll echo my thoughts on the Porcello deal that I tweeted out and included in MLBTR's write-up of his extension and agree with both Cameron and Britton. While Porcello is not now and may never be a front-of-the-rotation arm, the Red Sox clearly believe that he's capable of taking a step forward from a career year in 2014, and they're willing to pay what currently seems to be an above-market annual price in order to secure his prime. It's commonplace for teams to sign older free agents knowing that the final year or two (and sometimes more) will likely be a sunk cost, and yet as observers we accept that as part of free agency. The Red Sox are taking an opposite approach, seemingly making a strong bet that Porcello's best years are ahead. Paying for an expected outcome that has yet to take place is risky, to be sure, but it's no riskier than guaranteeing a pitcher north of $20MM in his age-36 season, as we saw with James Shields, Jon Lester and Max Scherzer this winter. The notion that a player must first "prove" that he is worth upper-market dollars over a long-term implicitly requires that those upper-market dollars will be awarded after or at the tail end of his peak, thereby negating much of the logic in committing such a sizable sum. Whether or not the Porcello deal ultimately looks wise or turns into an albatross, the thinking behind the deal is sound: make projections based on scouting and analytic input, and invest. The alternative — wait and see, then pay for the downswing of a player's career — is hardly a less risky approach.

Indians, Carlos Carrasco Agree To Extension
The Indians have announced yet another extension, this one with righty Carlos Carrasco. The contract guarantees him $22MM over the next four years and includes two club options.
Carrasco will earn $4.5MM next year, $6.5MM in 2017, and $8MM in 2018. The option years are for $9MM and $9.5MM, respectively, and can each be escalated by $4MM based on top-ten Cy Young finishes, bringing the total max value of the contract to $48MM. Those options come with $662.5K in total buyouts. Carrasco was already set to earn $2.337MM in his first of three arbitration years, which the new deal leaves in place — meaning that Carrasco nets just under $20MM in new money.
Carrasco, who just recently celebrated his 28th birthday, posted a 5.29 ERA over his first four seasons (238 1/3 IP) with the Tribe and struggled last April, losing his starting job and even getting designated for assignment last summer. However, he started to turn things around after a stint in the bullpen. As a reliever, he posted a 2.30 ERA with 43 relief innings.
When Carrasco came back to the starting five, he closed out 2014 and in a small sample size of ten games he looked like an absolute superstar. During that span, the hurler posted a 1.30 ERA and 78 strikeouts (against just 11 walks) over 69 innings.
Carrasco, an ACES client, now has financial security going forward despite a rocky career which included a lost 2012 season thanks to Tommy John surgery. Now, with Carrasco and Corey Kluber both under contract, the Indians could have a potent No. 1 and No. 2 locked in for years to come. The Cy Young winner's deal looks different however as he'll earn a reported $38.5MM across his guaranteed five seasons while Carrasco will get $22MM across his additional three years. Kluber receives additional years on his deal, but the difference in average annual value is a modest $400K.
Carrasco, in theory, could have rolled the dice with another solid season of pitching. Even though he could have secured a sizable arbitration raise and even more leverage in extension talks by building on his close to 2014, he understandably opted for security.
On Saturday night, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported that the two sides were discussing a deal. Rosenthal tweeted that the deal was done. Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports (Twitter links) reported contract details, as did MLB.com's Jordan Bastian (via Twitter) and Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (on Twitter).

Indians Discussing Extension With Carlos Carrasco
The Indians are close to locking up one big rotation piece in Corey Kluber, and the team is also discussing an extension with another in righty Carlos Carrasco, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports (Twitter link). Carrasco just recently celebrated his 28th birthday and was arbitration-eligible for the first time this past winter, avoiding a hearing by agreeing to a one-year, $2.337MM contract for the 2015 season.
A multi-year deal would represent a stunningly quick career resurrection for Carrasco, who posted a 5.29 ERA over his first four seasons (238 1/3 IP) with the Tribe and struggled last April, losing his starting job and even getting designated for assignment last summer. The right-hander turned things around in the bullpen with a 2.30 ERA over 43 relief innings and then returned to the rotation with astonishing results. Over his last 10 starts of 2014, Carrasco was arguably the best pitcher in baseball, posting a 1.30 ERA and 78 strikeouts (against just 11 walks) over 69 innings.
Given Carrasco's rocky career numbers and notable injury history (he missed all of 2012 recovering from Tommy John surgery), it's difficult to project exactly what an extension might look like for the ACES client. From the Tribe's perspective, they're obviously looking to gain cost certainty on Carrasco's future now and potentially gain a front-of-the-rotation arm at a discount price over a free agent year or two if he performs anything close to the level of his last 10 starts.
It's possible Carrasco could want to strike while the iron is hot and gain financial security, even if he might be leaving money on the table. Conversely, a full season of solid pitching would earn Carrasco a big arbitration raise next winter and line him up nicely for either an even richer extension with Cleveland or as a free agent following the 2017 season.

Arbitration Roundup: 54 Players Exchange Figures
With today's flurry of activities in the books, 144 players have agreed to deals to avoid arbitration for a total spend of $433MM. But that leaves 54 players who have exchanged figures and have ground left to cover before their 2015 salaries are settled. That number is up from last year's tally of 39, and may point to the possibility that we will see more hearings than the three in 2014 (which was itself up from zero the year before).
MLBTR's Arbitration Tracker is a great resource for seeing where things stand. It is fully sortable and even allows you to link to the results of a search. (The MLBTR/Matt Swartz arbitration projections are also quite handy, of course.) Using the tracker, I compiled some broad notes on where things stand in the arbitration process this year.
Remember, deals avoiding arbitration can still be reached even after the exchange of numbers. Hearings will be scheduled between February 1st and 21st, so there is plenty of time for the sides to come together before making their cases.
That being said, some teams are known for their "file and trial" approach to arb-eligible players, meaning that they refuse to negotiate after the exchange deadline and go to a hearing if agreement has not been reached. Among those clubs (the Brewers, Rays, Marlins, Blue Jays, Braves, Reds, and White Sox, per the most recent reporting), there are several open cases remaining: Mat Latos and Michael Dunn (Marlins), Josh Donaldson and Danny Valencia (Blue Jays), Mike Minor (Braves), and Aroldis Chapman, Devin Mesoraco and Todd Frazier (Reds).
Meanwhile, some other clubs have historically employed the "file and trial" approach on a modified or case-by-case basis: the Pirates, Nationals, and Indians. Among those clubs, the Pirates (Neil Walker, Vance Worley) and Nationals (Jerry Blevins) have open cases, though all of them feature relatively tight spreads.
And there are some other interesting cases to keep an eye on as well. Consider:
- The Orioles and Royals not only faced off in last year's American League Championship Series, but find themselves staring at by far the most unresolved cases (six and eight, respectively). They are also the only teams with eight-figure gaps between their submissions and those of their players ($10.85MM and $10MM, respectively).
- Among the Orioles players, two stand out for the significant relative gulf separating team and player. Zach Britton, who excelled after taking over as the closer last year, filed at $4.2MM while the team countered at $2.2MM, leaving a $2MM gap that is worth nearly 91% of the club's offer. Even more remarkably, the O's will need to bridge a $3.4MM gap ($5.4MM versus $2MM) with surprise star Steve Pearce. That spread is 1.7 times the value of the team's offer and easily beats the largest difference last year (Logan Morrison and the Mariners, 127.3%).
- Of course, it is worth remembering that first-year arb salaries have added impact because they set a baseline for future earnings. (Each successive year's salary is essentially calculated as an earned raise from that starting point.) For the Reds, the outcome of their cases with Frazier ($5.7MM vs. $3.9MM) and Mesoraco ($3.6MM vs. $2.45MM) could have huge ramifications for whether the team will be able to afford to keep (and possibly extend) that pair of strong performers.
- Likewise, the Angels face an important showdown with Garrett Richards, a Super Two whose starting point will factor into three more seasons of payouts. As a high-upside starter, he has sky high earning potential, so any savings will be most welcome to the team. The current spread is $3.8MM versus $2.4MM, a $1.4MM difference that equates to 58.3% of the team's filing price.
- Interestingly, the biggest gap in absolute terms belong to Pearce and the Orioles at $3.4MM. After that come Bud Norris and the Orioles ($2.75MM), David Freese and the Angels ($2.35MM), Greg Holland and the Royals ($2.35MM), Dexter Fowler and the Astros ($2.3MM), Eric Hosmer and the Royals ($2.1MM), and Aroldis Chapman and the Reds ($2.05MM).
Of course, plenty of deals already got done today. Here are some of the more notable among them:
- David Price agreed to a $19.75MM salary with the Tigers that stands as the single highest arbitration payday ever, by a fair margin.
- Interestingly, the Rays agreed to rather similar, sub-projection deals with all seven of their arb-eligible players. Discounts on Swartz's expectations ranged from 3.23% to 13.21%. In total, the club shaved $1.525MM off of its tab.
- The opposite was true of the Tigers, who spent a total of $1.4MM over the projections on just three players. Of course, since one of those players was Price, the commitment landed just 5.2% over the projected total.
- Detroit's overages pale in comparison to those of the Cubs, who handed out several of the deals that beat the projections by the widest relative margin and ended up over $2.5MM (14.5%) over their projected spend.
- The MLBTR/Swartz model badly whiffed (over 50% off) on just three players, all of whom earned well over the projections: Chris Coghlan of the Cubs (78.9%), Carlos Carrasco of the Indians (66.9%) Tony Sipp of the Astros (60%).
- On the low side, the worst miss (or the biggest discount, depending on one's perspective) was Mark Melancon of the Pirates, who fell $2.2MM and 28.9% shy of his projected earnings. Danny Espinosa (Nationals) and Chris Tillman (Orioles) were the only two other players to fall 20% or more below their projections. Of course, in the cases of both Melancon and Tillman, Swartz accurately predicted that they would fall short of the model.

Players Avoiding Arbitration: Thursday
As we approach tomorrow's deadline for exchanging filing numbers, the volume of arb deals will increase. All arb agreements can be monitored using MLBTR's 2015 Arbitration Tracker, but here are today's smaller agreements, with all projections referring to those of MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz:
- The Indians have avoided arbitration with third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall and agreed to a one-year, $2.25MM deal, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports (Twitter link). It's a slight bump over Chisenhall's projected $2.2MM salary. Chisenhall hit .280/.343/.427 with 13 homers in 533 PA with the Tribe last season.
- The Indians and left-hander Marc Rzepczynski have agreed to a one-year, $2.4MM contract to avoid arbitration, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (Twitter link). Rzepczynski surpassed his projected salary with the contract, as he was pegged to earn $1.9MM next season. The southpaw posted a 2.74 ERA, 2.42 K/BB rate and an even 46 strikeouts over 46 innings out of Cleveland's bullpen last season.
- The Nationals and catcher Jose Lobaton will avoid arbitration after agreeing to a deal, CSN Washington's Mark Zuckerman reports. Lobaton will earn $1.2MM, FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi tweets, which exactly matches his projected 2015 salary. Lobaton hit .234/.287/.304 over 230 PA in backup duty for the Nats last season.
- The Athletics and outfielder Craig Gentry agreed to a one-year, $1.6MM deal to avoid arbitration, FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi tweets. Gentry was projected to earn $1.5MM. After posting a .759 OPS over 556 PA in 2012-13, Gentry took a step back at the plate last season, slashing just .254/.319/.289 over 258 plate appearances but still providing tremendous defense (a +16 UZR/150).
- The Nationals have avoided arbitration with second baseman Danny Espinosa, agreeing to a one-year, $1.8MM contract, James Wagner of the Washington Post reports. This deal falls below Espinosa's projected $2.3MM contract, though Espinosa hit .219/.283/.351 in 364 plate appearances for the Nats last season and managed only a .465 OPS in 167 PA in 2013.
- The Indians agreed to a one-year, $2.337MM deal with right-hander Carlos Carrasco, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (via Twitter). This figure is a significant increase over the $1.4MM contract that was projected for Carrasco in his first arb-eligible year. The righty enjoyed a breakout 2014 season, posting a 2.55 ERA, 9.4 K/9 and 4.83 K/BB rate over 134 innings with the Tribe. Carrasco pitched mostly out of the bullpen but also delivered several quality starts down the stretch.
- The Dodgers and outfielder Chris Heisey agreed to a one-year deal worth $2.16MM to avoid arbitration, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman tweets. This is slightly less than the $2.2MM Heisey was projected to earn. Heisey is coming off a .222/.265/.378 slash line over 299 PA with the Reds last season and was dealt to L.A. last month.
- The Angels inked catcher Drew Butera to a one-year, $987.5K deal to avoid arbitration, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports. Butera was projected to earn $900K next season. The catcher posted a .555 OPS in 192 PA with the Dodgers last season and was dealt to the Halos last month.
- The Nationals agreed to a one-year, $2.25MM contract with Craig Stammen, avoiding arbitration with the right-hander, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports (via Twitter). This figure slightly tops Stammen's projected $2.1MM contract. Stammen posted a 3.84 ERA, 6.9 K/9 and a 4.00 K/BB rate over 72 2/3 innings out of Washington's bullpen last season.
- The Cardinals agreed to a one-year, $1.65MM deal with outfielder Peter Bourjos to avoid arbitration, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Bourjos was projected to earn $1.6MM. Bourjos displayed his usual top-shelf defense with the Cards last season but only hit .231/.294/.348 over 294 PA.

Indians Notes: Swisher, Bourn, Masterson, Hamels
MLB.com's Jordan Bastian and Paul Hoynes of the Northeast Ohio Media Group cleared out their inbox this weekend answering readers' questions about possible moves for the Indians this offseason. Here are the highlights:
- Bastian downplays a Nick Swisher–Ubaldo Jimenez swap of bad contracts. Cleveland could afford the move (Jimenez is due $38.75MM through 2017 while Swisher is owed $30MM through 2016 with a 2017 vesting option worth $14MM), but Bastian feels the odds of Swisher rebounding in 2015 is a better bet than three years of Jimenez.
- If the Indians are looking to shed a bad contract, Hoynes thinks Michael Bourn would be easier to trade, but adds that doesn't mean Cleveland wants to deal him.
- Bastian and Hoynes both agree the Indians have interest in Justin Masterson on a one-year pillow contract, but feel the right-hander will find a multi-year pact elsewhere.
- Trading for Cole Hamels is an interesting thought, according to Bastian, because the left-hander is cheaper ($90MM through 2018) than the top free agent rotation arms on the market and the Indians have the type of prospects the Phillies covet. Ultimately, though, Bastian sees Hamels' annual salary and the potential prospects lost will be too steep of a price for the franchise to pay.
- While noting manager Terry Francona's penchant for strong bullpens, Hoynes doesn't see the Indians investing in any of the high profile free agent relievers, especially with Zach McAllister waiting in the wings.
- Does Francona's new contract extension contain the same opt-out clause allowing him to leave if President Mark Shapiro or GM Chris Antonetti are fired? Antonetti did not provide details when asked that question, but Hoynes imagines the opt-out provision is included in the extension.
- Bastian expects right-handers Carlos Carrasco and Trevor Bauer to have break out seasons for the Indians in 2015.

Minor Moves: Garcia, Carrasco, Gimenez
A huge trade went down three years ago today, as the Rangers acquired Cliff Lee, Mark Lowe, and cash from the Mariners for Justin Smoak, Josh Lueke, and Blake Beavan. Lueke eventually led to Mike Morse (a free agent after the season) via John Jaso. Beavan is working in long relief for the Mariners. Smoak may finally be reaching his potential in Seattle; he's hitting .308/.411/.533 in 141 plate appearances since April 29th. Smoak's OBP in that period ranks 10th in the Majors among those with at least 100 plate appearances, right behind…John Jaso. On to today's minor moves…
- The Phillies announced they've selected the contract of righty Luis Garcia, clearing a spot on the 40-man roster by moving Mike Adams to the 60-day DL. Phillippe Aumont was optioned to Triple-A. Garcia will be making his MLB debut.
- Indians righty Carlos Carrasco has officially been optioned to Triple-A, tweets MLB.com's Jordan Bastian. Carrasco being designated for assignment on Sunday was a paperwork move to secure optional waivers, he explains.
- The White Sox outrighted catcher Hector Gimenez yesterday, according to the International League transactions page. Gimenez was designated for assignment on Thursday to open a spot for fellow catcher Josh Phegley, who has two home runs in his first three games. Gimenez, 30, is on his fifth organization. At Triple-A last year he hit .259/.324/.440 in 418 plate appearances.
- Three players currently reside in DFA limbo: Jeremy Bonderman of the Mariners, Adam Rosales of the Athletics, and Brandon Lyon of the Mets.

Indians Designate Carlos Carrasco For Assignment
The Indians announced that they have designated pitcher Carlos Carrasco for assignment for the purpose of placing him on their Triple-A team. The move will allow the Tribe to remove Carrasco from the 25-man roster while keeping him on the 40-man roster once he clears optional waivers.
Carrasco, 26, allowed 29 earned runs across 28 and 2/3 innings this season with 15 strikeouts and 13 walks. The right-hander made 21 starts for the Tribe in 2011, posting a 4.62 ERA with 6.1 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9.

AL Notes: Ryan, Porcello, Happ, Indians
Rangers CEO Nolan Ryan had dinner with principal owners Ray Davis and Bob Simpson Friday night to discuss his future role with the franchise. Simpson called the meeting "productive" while Ryan remained silent until today when he released a statement through the team. "Over the last week, Ray Davis, Bob Simpson, and I have been in discussion and met in-person. The conversations have been productive, and we have discussed my role as CEO of the organization. We agreed these discussions will continue as we go forward. I am very proud of what the Rangers have accomplished over the last several years, and I believe our preparations for upcoming season are what is important." Sources have told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram Ryan could leave after he fulfills his two remaining team obligations: in San Antonio for the Rangers' two exhibition games there March 29-30 and in Houston during the Rangers' season-opening series against the Astros. In other news and notes from the American League:
- Rick Porcello became the first Tiger pitcher to pitch five innings this spring, allowing no runs on three hits while striking out four. George Sipple of the Detroit Free Press tweets Porcello was happy to discuss his outing, but refused to comment on the many trade rumors surrounding him.
- J.A. Happ, also a subject of trade rumors, is frustrated by his role with the Blue Jays and sees himself as a Major League starting pitcher, according to MLB.com's Gregor Chisholm (Twitter links). Happ, as quoted by Chisholm on Twitter, realizes he is auditioning for other teams, "I know there are other people in the stands as well so I'm trying to just keep my routine and we'll see what happens."
- Indians manager Terry Francona has named Zach McAllister as the team's fourth starter, the Associated Press reports (via the Boston Herald). If the Indians choose to start Carlos Carrasco, Trevor Bauer, and Corey Kluber in the minors, the leading veteran candidates for the final spot are Scott Kazmir and Daisuke Matsuzaka, according to Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer who would put his money on Kazmir.

Corpus Christi, Nueces County officials celebrate Bob Hall Pier expansion opening
CORPUS CHRISTI - After nearly four years of planning, nine months of construction and two weeks of repair following a platform collapse — the Bob Hall Pier Gulf Beach Observation Deck is open.
County officials, parks employees and beach enthusiasts gathered Tuesday on North Padre Island to share cake and debut the facility with a ribbon-cutting.
"It turned out beautiful," Nueces County Judge Loyd Neal said. "It's a great building."
The 50-by-50-foot covered deck features retractable walls, tables for visitors to dine, a sound system, video projector, flat-screen televisions, outdoor bar area and more. Still, County officials say there are more plans on the way.
"We can show surf movies out here, listen to live music, host events — there's a lot of possibilities," said Scott Cross, Nueces County parks and recreation director.
"It's the only public facility of its kind on the Gulf Coast."
The pavilion was designed by Naismith Engineering and constructed by 3TI Inc., costing about $834,000 to build, paid for by grants and reallocated funds, county officials said.
But the project came to a halt in late January when the deck's support beams collapsed under the weight of freshly poured concrete. Officials said construction would resume in less than two weeks, which proved to be true.
"My heart stopped when I got that phone call," said Charlie Zahn, chairman of the Nueces County Board of Park Commissioners.
"But it all came together," he said, crediting the county commissioners who provided funds.
The new pavilion will bring more revenue to the county, and added business to Barnacle Bill's restaurant, located next door, county officials say.
Bill Fintel, who runs Barnacle Bill's, says he already is noticing an increase in business in the few days the deck has been open to the public.
"I think the locals are just so happy to finally have it," he said. "It's remarkable."

SAN FRANCISCO -- Bruce Bochy never had a feeling like the one he experienced on Monday. "I'm still numb," the Giants manager said. "These guys deserve all the credit. They were determined not to go home." Rallying from the brink of elimination in consecutive playoff series, San Francisco celebrated a second National League pennant in three seasons with a 9-0 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 7 of the NLCS. The Giants erased a three-games-to-one deficit to eliminate the Cardinals. In the Division Series, San Francisco won three straight to oust the Reds after falling behind 0-2 in the best-of-five series. "Finding a way to get it done just makes this so special," Bochy said. "I know we were written off many times. But these guys were relentless in getting it done and they found a way." The Giants will meet American League champion Detroit in the 108th World Series, scheduled to start on Wednesday in San Francisco. The probable Game 1 pitching matchup is Tigers ac...

Reese Witherspoon suffered some minor injuries after she was struck by a car during her jog in the Santa Monica area, this according to local police.
Witherspoon was hit around 11 a.m. in a residential neighborhood. The driver of the car was an 84-year-old woman who'd been traveling about 20 mph. The 84-year old woman was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
An ambulance did show up to take her to the hospital, but she is in good condition and resting comfortably in her Brentwood area home. At least this is what her rep said.
Reese Witherspoon recently starred in Water for Elephants, and she continues to be one of the most sought after actresses in Hollywood. Hopefully this won't put a hold on anything she has in the works. Witherspoon married her boyfriend a while back.

Hey Bro, or USUCK. Thanks for the support, I thought I had at least one fan out there. Thanks for the awesome help in the pits and getting the car ready every week, and Keith and Kelly really appreciate it too. It would be hard to do this stuff without you. And now I know where you got your name, cause thats what you are saying when Im on the track...lol.
I think you and your pops know what I'm about. I'm really concerned about the car counts in our street stock class. Cars are really getting torn up for no reason by the same two cars and no one does anything about it. Some guys just dont want to bring their stuff out to get torn up every week. I just want to race and have fun and not worry about do I get him before he gets me. And for the comment i made about out of town cars, I was just talking about the 4 and 40 car. When the 12m and 19 cars come and hand me my ass its ok because they dont move you to get a spot, they just race hard and they are great race car drivers. Maybe I can learn something from them.
Let's just talk about something positive and try not to complain about this crap anymore and just race, and yes, I would like the 40 car out there this weekend just for the car count

I just want to say i hope you are through crying about the 40 car because you spun out in front of him and he had no where to go. Every week yall get on here and complain about the 4 and 40. Stop complaining and do something about it. To whoever is complaining about the front bumpers, it doesnt say anything in the rule book about what kind of bumper you can run except the loop on top can only be a certain height. If you think racing is rough at beaumont in SS go race at 105 or Willis and i promise you that you will come back and not have anything negative to say about the roughness at beaumont.
I race at Beaumont every Friday night and there has been bad calls that included me and that is just racing. Friday night i seen several cars cause a caution and still get there place back. So dont fill like you are getting screwed by the 40 and 4 because Friday night both cars raced a clean race. ( the best thing to do after a bad night is just go to your trailor and drink some beer and laugh about it because getting mad just pisses you off more. I know i been there lol.)

24T, Did you watch the video? Nobody spun out and 40 slammed the 39 car with a big thumbs up to the number 4 after he did it. Several people saw that. You must have been in the pits drinking beer yourself! The problem with your theory is that some of these drivers do not care to go to the other tracks for that very reason. Just because it goes on there doesn't make it right. When the locals are on the track, the cars play pretty clean. Not that all out of towners are bad but a couple give the rest a bad name. See you Friday.

For everyone that wanted to chime in after all of the dust has settled, pay attention to what utterback said in the last paragraph. He is over it and moving on. Grant, for your information, Jud confronted those guys last year after a race and after this race so don't go running on about that. St. stock 38, who are you anyway? I haven't seen your #38 out at the track before. I have been at this track for 20 years now. Lets close this post and quit jumping in here and agging it on people. Tempers flare and as far as I know, this is a place to vent. Are you off of your soapbox now Grant? I am sorry that you are embarrassed. Maybe you should not check the board if you get embarrassed that easy. My two cents. What is done is done. Lets just go racing. Grant, nothing personal because you guys got some skills but I gotta defend myself! Will not tolerate being belittled by anyone just because they don't agree with me.

I just want to race and have fun and not worry about do I get him before he gets me. And for the comment i made about out of town cars, I was just talking about the 4 and 40 car. When the 12m and 19 cars come and hand me my ass its ok because they dont move you to get a spot, they just race hard and they are great race car drivers. Maybe I can learn something from them.
Let's just talk about something positive and try not to complain about this crap anymore and just race, and yes, I would like the 40 car out there this weekend just for the car count

my comment was not aimed at any one person. it is just for the passed two weeks this has been going on. i am not say there was not some rough driving all i am saying is if your worried about getting your car banged up well you need to leave it on the trailer. It doesnt matter what class you race mini, pure, hobby, street, limited, Mod, or sprint....just ask the sprinters...bent frames, broken axels, rims, tires.....need i go on... it happens that is racing. i am not on here to upset anyone but like you said usuck i am just venting. We will see yall friday

Hey Guys, its not just your class. The spotters are hardly ever watching into turns 1 & 2. We are on the fence there every night that our class runs. There's a LOT of stuff that happens there and is NEVER seen. Our car was involved in an accident there several weeks ago and the driver of the other car NEVER CHECKED UP. When asked why, his response was "I didn't have any brakes!!". Never hit his brakes, never slowed down and didn't act concerned about the car he hit. Only, keeping his place in the line. That's not the first time he has responded to the very same question, with the same answer. So, he either is running w/o brakes every time or he's just using the same line as an excuse. Either way, he has never even had a black flag shook at him. So, from what I hear,,,,,,,,,,sooner or later it will become what you are all talking about in your class into ours. Our driver came out LUCKY !!!!!!! WITH HIS LIFE!!!!! BUT, as long as racing is going on,,,the going on's will always be the same. I just hope track officials start paying enough attention to what is going on, before someone gets really hurt BAD.

Yes you are correct on that jbtuner and there job is to watch the cars going in and coming out of what end of the track the are assinged to(the track spotters) the spotters i notice are watching the whole race(the leaders) thats not there job thats the flagmans job and the fans ect.Some tracks i raced at and i would like to see that here is when a driver drives over his head or if his car push in the corner and has been all night or banks off another car and in any situation takes another car out needs to be taken off the track also i think this will slow down the beaten and banging. HRP WOULD TELL all the drivers at the driver meeting you take somebody out and they can't continue you are out also i don't know but i think this will slow things down alittle.But on the other hand Grant(00) and i had a rough feature race BUT it was a good race( rubbin,bumping,pushing,and even pushed into the wall lol)but nether car was taken out and the fans loved it and thats the risk you take by being aggressive and wanting to win and if one of our cars would have taken out one or the other to win i would expect the third place to win the race,that my opinion lol so let the ss thing go and lets race it over now before we lose this class because of car count or maybe take a couple of week off to get the car count back and the tempers down lol lets do it in the dirt the dig dog #50

We don't run in your class. But the spotters not doing their job is EVERYONE'S problem. The driver I spoke of thinks he's so good he doesn't have to even attend the drivers meetings. That should be MANDATORY in order to race. And when the young drivers get dangerous...it's time to speak up. I don't have problems doing that but, others have different opinions on how it should work. Women step on mens toes in the dance halls all the time, what makes the race track any different
LOL. But really the spotters do need to keep their eyes on the corners. Especially 1 & 2. Mrs JBTuner

OH my !!!!!! Whew ya'll are something else. Pretty unbelievable actually. I just found this web site and forum .
To start lets clear up a bit of confusion,I am John Arbing from Houston Tx . cell # is 713-208-2783 and the driver of the #40 ss .You know the 1 that has a trashy suitcase with cracker jacks in it. (or something like that) As well, I am a proud friend of Doug Manchesters he is the driver of the #4 ss of which there is no relation by blood or marraige .
To Bubba Haynes or whoever the driver was, that I took out week before last, As I said ,I humbly apologize for causing the damage to your car. (it was either the 91 or 92) If there is something I can do to assist you in getting back to the track please let me know .Further more I want to thank you for checking on me to see if I was ok after the wreck .It was a hard hit and I am glad you are ok.
To Glenn your facility is simply great and that is the only reason that Doug and I come there to race ,we always feel welcome and have a good time .Thank you for all of yous and your teams effort i n running things the way you do. "GREAT JOB"
Now for the instigators ,stirrers, elaborators or what ever" U SUCK"!!! period .Lets replay last week end from my point of view.....Heat race went well.. Had fun .Feature race well, there was an accident that i was involved in .Oh well thats racing. still had fun though .I took the risk when i came in the pits and drove out on the race track to race ..as every one else does. Luckily I was able to finish the race after the wreck. Driving off of the track I was approached by some one who I thought was giving me a thumbs up for finishing 3rd in the feature so i returned the thumbs up ...OOPS I guess that was another finger expressing something totally diferent. Then I heard through my helmet the phrase "I'll kill you dead"..Then someone else promising me harm if i returned to the track. Here is the way the the wreck happened. coming out of 2 i was passing the 15 on the inside and the 39 was outside of him .The 39 lost it as i did the week before and wound up taking out the 15 and winding up in front of me , BANG. Just look at where the damage to your car is . I hope i did not mistake the thumbs up from the driver of the 39 car as i thought he was checking on me to see if i was alright .I replied with a thumbs up for the same reason.Then i removed my helmet and belts to wait on the wrecker he pulled me off and asked if i could fire my car up . To my surprise it did ,then i restrapped etc.and pulled up next to Doug and gave him a thumbs up to see if my car was ok to continue with the race he replied with a thumbs up. Nothing to do like has been stated by an instigater.

If the lettering is weak - you are underdeveloping (unless you are compensating for contrast - I rate most of my film slower and develop 1 stop less to keep my contrast correct for #2 paper in a condenser enlarger.)

Ben Franklin Academy's preschool uses the Core Knowledge Sequence. The benefits of Core Knowledge are many, and it has been widely accepted that it improves student performance. The Core Knowledge Sequence recognizes that children are always ready to learn, and they build knowledge based on what they already know. Unlike traditional preschool programs where there is no consistency in content resulting in a wide disparity of knowledge and skills that students possess, the Core Knowledge Sequence supports a smooth transition to kindergarten. The Core Knowledge Sequence provides a clear outline of what children are expected to learn, and it promotes the inherent desire to continue that learning. This is one of many stepping stones that students receive that helps them achieve developmental goals. The Core Knowledge Sequence allows each child to have individualized instruction and makes regular assessment a priority. Ben Franklin Academy preschoolers will enter kindergarten having attained all of the necessary knowledge and skills to be successful. The academy is committed to high student achievement year after year starting with preschool. The Core Knowledge Sequence ensures that.

Press release from Marketwire
PetroBakken Replaces 274% of Production and Increases Reserves by 18% in 2010
Monday, February 21, 2011
PetroBakken Replaces 274% of Production and Increases Reserves by 18% in 201022:21 EST Monday, February 21, 2011CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Feb. 21, 2011) - PetroBakken Energy Ltd. ("PetroBakken" or the "Company") (TSX:PBN) a 59% owned subsidiary of Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd. ("Petrobank") (TSX:PBG) is pleased to announce the Company's year-end reserves and provide an operational update.HIGHLIGHTS(Annual comparisons are 2010 compared to 2009 and quarterly comparisons are fourth quarter 2010 compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 unless otherwise noted. All references to $ are Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.)2010 average production of 41,688 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("boepd") increased 58% over 2009. Proved plus probable ("2P") Company Interest(1) reserves increased by 18% to 171.4 million barrels of oil equivalent ("MMboe") at December 31, 2010, replacing production by 274% (2P Company Gross(2) reserves increased 18% to 169.2 MMboe). Our new entry into the Cardium play in Alberta during 2010, through three corporate acquisitions and our initial drilling campaign, has yielded incremental 2P reserve additions of 43 MMboe. Our first 55 operated wells drilled in 2010 resulted in reserve recognition for 149 of our undeveloped Pembina Cardium locations (out of our current inventory of over 650). This drilling campaign has accelerated into 2011. From July 2010 to mid-February 2011, we drilled 80 (65.9 net) PetroBakken-executed Cardium wells, of which: 44 (39 net) wells are producing, 16 (11.4 net) wells are completed but not yet producing, and 20 (15.5 net) wells are waiting on completion. Production results from single-leg horizontal multi-stage fracture stimulated Cardium wells continue to meet our expectations with: seven day average rates of 423 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") from 40 wells, thirty day average rates of 246 bopd from 38 wells, and sixty day average rates of 176 bopd from 21 wells. In our 2010 reserve report, producing Bakken bilateral horizontal wells received, on average, an incremental 35,000 barrels ("bbls") of oil over our 2009 reserve report assignments for 2P undeveloped bilateral horizontal locations. Activity in the Bakken play continues to move forward with bilateral drilling and enhanced oil recovery ("EOR") projects. Notes:"Company Interest" reserves represent the Company's working interest share of reserves including the Company's royalty interests in reserves and before deduction of the Company's royalty obligations. "Company Gross" reserves represent the Company's working interest share of reserves excluding the Company's royalty interests in reserves and before deduction of royalty obligations. RESERVESSproule Associates Limited ("Sproule") has completed their evaluation of PetroBakken's reserves, dated February 18, 2011, effective as at December 31, 2010 ("Sproule Evaluation"). All reserves are based on forecast prices and costs and are Company Gross reserves unless otherwise noted.PetroBakken was very active in 2010, through both organic activity and acquisitions and divestitures. During the year we drilled 325 (239 net) wells, completed several corporate and property acquisitions to create our Cardium core area, and completed the sale of certain non-core properties. The Cardium acquisitions have added over 650 light oil locations to our drilling inventory to-date. The Sproule Evaluation reflects the impact of these acquisitions and divestitures.In the Bakken, during 2010 we concentrated on drilling bilateral horizontal wells to improve capital efficiencies with primary recoveries. Performance of bilateral wells over this time frame has allowed Sproule to increase average reserve bookings for producing bilateral wells by 35,000 bbls of oil per well compared to expectations for 2P undeveloped bilateral locations in 2009. We continue to experiment with a number of new completion techniques in the Bakken to improve well performance (to obtain increased flow rates, reduced water cuts and reduced costs) and are encouraged by the initial results obtained.PetroBakken ReservesForecast Prices(1)As at December 31, 2010RoyaltyCompanyCompany Gross(2)Interests (3)Interest(4)Total OilNGLNatural GasSub-totalSub-totalTotal(Mbbl)(Mbbl)(MMcf)(Mboe)(Mboe)(Mboe)Proved Developed Producing50,8883,80763,79065,32685766,183Total Proved80,8665,41494,337102,0031,025103,028Proved + Probable (2P)136,1538,871148,754169,8161,561171,377PetroBakken Net Present Value – Before Tax ($ millions)(5)Forecast Prices(1)As at December 31, 20100%5%8%10%15%Proved Developed Producing3,355.32,574.12,285.92,135.01,849.3Total Proved4,765.33,541.13,084.32,844.82,392.2Proved + Probable (2P)8,367.75,521.14,598.14,141.63,325.6PetroBakken Net Present Value – After Tax ($ millions)(5)Forecast Prices(1)As at December 31, 20100%5%8%10%15%Proved Developed Producing3,043.62,355.22,099.81,965.71,711.0Total Proved4,072.53,037.62,649.52,445.62,059.1Proved + Probable (2P)6,707.44,471.53,736.63,370.92,713.0Working Interest Reserve Reconciliation – Forecast Prices(1)(Mboe)(2)DevelopedTotalProved+ProducingProvedProbablePetroBakken reserves at December 31, 200959,41289,470143,6382010 production net of royalty interest(15,031)(15,031)(15,031)Net acquisitions3,2835,3446,817Net additions and revisions17,66222,22034,393PetroBakken reserves at December 31, 201065,326102,003169,816PetroBakken year-over-year increase in reserves10%14%18%PetroBakken production replacement139%183%274%Notes:Based on the Sproule price forecast effective December 31, 2010.

Includes the corporate acquisitions of Berens Energy Ltd., Rondo Petroleum Inc. and Result Energy Inc. and certain other asset acquisitions. The Company's annual audit of our consolidated financial statements is not yet complete and accordingly all financial amounts are management's best estimates which are unaudited and subject to change. Portion of the purchase prices allocated to property, plant & equipment and reflects the net present value of each corporate acquisition as at its acquisition date based on 2P NPV10%, before tax. The Company uses FD&A as a measure of the efficiency of its overall capital program including the effect of acquisitions and dispositions. PetroBakken had an active drilling program in 2010 and achieved 2P F&D costs of $26.11/boe (2009: $33.02/boe) on our operational capital expenditure program (including FDC and land acquisitions). Corporate acquisition and disposition transactions had a material impact on our FD&A costs for 2010, and resulted in 2P corporate FD&A costs of $39.31/boe (including FDC and land value) (2009: $32.48/boe). A significant portion of the acquisitions included land value associated with the Cardium light oil resource play, which generated 2P acquisition FD&A metrics of $41.82/boe, including land value (2009: $32.42/boe), and $25.25/boe excluding land value (2009: $29.96/boe). In addition, FDC represents $8.19/boe of our 2P acquisition FD&A ($4.22/boe on corporate 2P FD&A). The land value and FDC associated with the acquisitions represent potential future reserves additions and over time we expect the overall 2P FD&A for the Cardium area will not exceed $25.00/boe. Disposition activity has driven up corporate FD&A in 2010 by approximately 20%, as we sold gas weighted non-core properties at an average price of $11.52/boe. Overall, our non-core disposition program (including our December 2009 transaction) generated $312 million of net proceeds at an average 2P reserve value of of $18.38/boe.OPERATIONAL UPDATEPetroBakken's 2010 average production increased 58% to 41,688 boepd from 26,333 boepd in 2009. The increase is primarily due to acquisition activity in 2009 and early 2010. In the fourth quarter, PetroBakken production averaged 41,333 boepd, a decrease of 9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 due to dispositions, delayed operational activity and natural production declines from wells. Production increased 3% over third quarter 2010 levels of 40,095 due to increased completion activities in the Cardium area. Average January production is estimated at approximately 41,400 boepd and reflects a backlog of 36 Cardium wells that are drilled but still waiting to come on production.PetroBakken drilled 239 net wells in 2010 (140 Bakken light oil wells and 42 conventional Mississippian light oil wells in southeast Saskatchewan, 53 Cardium light oil wells and 2 Notikewin gas wells in central Alberta, and 2 gas wells in northeast British Columbia). Of these wells, 3 net wells were dry & abandoned, for a 99% success rate. We had 15 net Bakken wells bought on production in 2010 where fracture stimulations were intentionally delayed until 2011 to test and improve completion techniques. Completion activities in the Cardium lagged drilling activities and at the end of the year we had 15 net Cardium wells waiting to be completed and/or brought on production. The results from the Cardium wells with slickwater completions continue to meet our expectations. The following table illustrates early results from our core areas within the Cardium play.West PembinaEast PembinaOtherTotalAverageNumberAverageNumberAverageNumberAverageNumberProduction(1)of WellsProduction(1)of WellsProduction(1)of WellsProduction(1)of Wells(bopd)(bopd)(bopd)(bopd)7 days409194151962924234030 days245172291931922463860 days176816211247217621(1) Represents oil production only until gas and natural gas liquids are conserved.Pipelining activities within the Cardium fairway, which will conserve gas and the associated natural gas liquids and result in higher production rates, are ongoing and we expect to have a significant number of wells tied in by the end of March 2011. Currently, we have 36 (26.9 net) wells waiting to be completed and/or brought on production.PetroBakken currently has eight rigs drilling in the Cardium play in central Alberta and eight rigs drilling in southeast Saskatchewan, with seven of those rigs working in the Bakken and one in our conventional Mississippian plays. Two major oil batteries are nearing completion in southeast Saskatchewan to tie-in more Bakken production and conserve solution gas and natural gas liquids. Our recently expanded Midale gas plant now has the technology to process slightly sour gas, increasing our ability to handle third party production.On the EOR front, based on compelling results from our 2010 pilot, we have drilled two Bakken EOR gas injection wells that are currently on primary production and are expected to begin gas injection early in the second quarter and late in the third quarter, respectively. We expect preliminary results in offset wells later in 2011.In northeast British Columbia, PetroBakken continues to undertake a limited 3 well drilling program to preserve our land position (and our inventory of more than 400 undeveloped drilling locations) in the extensive Montney and Horn River tight gas plays until the natural gas price improves. A drill rig continues to work in the Monias area to finish drilling the last of two horizontal locations, targeting liquids-rich Montney gas. We anticipate these wells will be completed prior to spring breakup.PetroBakken's 2011 plan is predominantly focused on our large inventory of light oil locations and we intend to invest approximately $590 million to drill over 200 net wells, about half of which will be in the Cardium play in central Alberta and the other half in southeast Saskatchewan. Exit production for 2011 is forecast to be between 46,000 and 49,000 boepd, with most of the growth in production generated from our Cardium play. Our results to- date continue to support strong investment in the Cardium resource play. We also look forward to implementing a $20 million investment in five Bakken EOR projects that will continue to build understanding for expansion of this concept beyond primary recovery. The 2010 year-end reserve report began to recognize the strong results from both the Bakken bilateral wells and early drilling results in the Cardium play. Our 2011 capital program will continue to build on these successes while also benefitting from our 2010 pre-investment in a number of drilled horizontal wells that are waiting to be fraced and put on production.PetroBakken Energy Ltd. is an oil and gas exploration and production company combining light oil Bakken and Cardium resource plays with conventional light oil assets, delivering industry leading operating netbacks, strong cash flows and production growth . PetroBakken is applying leading edge technology to a multi-year inventory of Bakken and Cardium light oil development locations, along with a significant inventory of opportunities in the Horn River and Montney gas resource plays in northeast BC. Our st rategy is to deliver accretive production and reserves growth, along with an attractive dividend yield.Forward-Looking Statements.This press release contains forward -looking statements. More particularly, it contains forward -looking statements concerning potential exploration and development activities, future finding and development costs, anticipated facilities constr uction and the resulting efficiencies, and expected production rates. The forward-looking statements are based on certain key expectations and assumptions, including expectations and assumptions concerning the availability of capital, the success of future drilling, completion, recompletion and development activities, the performance of existing wells, the performance of new wells, prevailing commodity prices and economic conditions, the availability of labour and services, the ability to market our production, weather and access to drilling locations.Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward -looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward -looking statements because we can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration an d production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses; reliance on industry partners, availability of equipment and personnel, uncertainty surrounding timing for drilling and completion activities resulting from weather and other factors; changes in applicable regulatory regimes and health, safety and environmental risks), commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations and general economic conditions. Certain of these risks are set out in more detail in our Annual Information Form which has been filed on SEDAR and can be accessed at www.sedar.com.

Two big-league baseball teams met up last night in Denver, Colorado.
One team was playing as if its season were on the line, desperately attempting to salvage what was developing into a disastrous series. The other was looking to deliver one last powerful punch to the mid-section before moving on to another fight.
Together those two teams produced the best big-league baseball game of the 2009 season.
I believe 13 innings of 1-1 baseball at Coors Field (humidor or no humidor) speak for themselves, so I'll skip to the decisive 14th before recapping the totality of this spectacularly dramatic baseball game.
Top Half
Rockies fans got their first real glance at the real Adam Eaton. Well, they actually saw it in the 13th inning, when Eaton loaded the bases with two outs. Fortunately for Eaton, San Francisco's Freddy Sanchez was unavailable to hit, leaving the rally in the hands of relief pitcher Brandon Meddars.
In the 14th, Eaton was not nearly so lucky. He walked three around triples by Edgar Rentaria and Eugenio Velez, giving San Fran what appeared to be an insurmountable 4-1 lead.
Bottom Half
Lead-off batter Dexter Fowler fouls a 3-2 pitch off his knee cap and stays down for 3-4 minutes. Fowler, unable to put much weight on his leg, and unable to leave due to shortage of players, amazingly stays in to draw the walk and literally walks to first base. Thankfully the Giants made the rest of his trip around the bases just as easy.
After a Clint Barmes pop out and a Giant pitching change, Chris Iannetta singles to center, allowing Fowler to walk to second. New pitcher Justin Miller walks Troy Tulowitzki, which didn't seem like the worst idea considering Adam Eaton had to hit for himself.
Two big problems for the Giants arise here.
- Justin Miller can't throw a strike to save his life.
- Adam Eaton does one thing well: stand at the plate and not swing.
Five pitches later, Eaton draws the 33rd walk of his career. Fowler practically crawls home on his hands and knees. Bochy is forced to play his final arm: Merkin Valdez. And the stage is set for Ryan Spilborghs to hopefully not hit into another rally killing double play.
As I'm sure you've seen or read by now, Spilborghs didn't ground into the double play.
The numbers
- 476 pitches thrown
- 20 walks issued (Giants 13, Rockies 7)
- Compared to 19 strikeouts (Giants 10, Rockies 9)
- Angel Campos really is the worst balls and strikes umpire I've seen all season.
- 27 runners left on base (Giants 13, Rockies 14)
- 15 pitchers (Giants 8, Rockies 7)
- 22 players used by Giants (excluding Cain, Sanchez & Sanchez)
- Tim Lincecum & Joe Martinez pinch ran.
- 20 players used by Rockies (excluding Hammel, De La Rosa, Jimenez, Fogg and Herges)
- Carlos Gonzalez played five innings without the use of his left hand
- Yorvit Torrealba caught all 14 innings.
- Torrealba also caught the entire 22 inning game last season
- Adam Eaton gets his first (and likely last) win as a Rockie
- Jason Marquis and Barry Zito get nothing, but pitched brilliantly.
- Time of game: 4:57 (Insert Red Sox-Yankees joke here)
Day off today?
You kidding?
Bring on the Dodgers!
