"The Autumn Colours of Karuizawa" Kyu-karuisawa by salisbury3933
Kyu-karuisawa Travel Guide: 9 reviews and 17 photos
Karuizawa is a very interesting town with a lot happening. Given its proximity to Tokyo, a lot of people come up on weekends, and there are plenty of the well heeled type who own 2nd houses up there as well.
It's an all year round destination. In summer, it's a good place to escape the heat of the Japanese summer, in winter the snow means that plenty of skiers and snowboarders are in town, and in autumn the colours are very pretty indeed. There are also several golf courses in the vicinity, and the one I did see looked to be very busy when we went past.
It is a very prosperous looking town, and benefits from the fact it is on the Nagano Shinkansen line, and therefore very easy to get to from Tokyo.
In line with the 'high roller' image, Karuizawa has a lot of shops selling specialty food and drink. High quality items such as sausages and other meat products, honey, jam are on sale, and there are some very good bakeries in town as well by Japan standards.
Of note for me as well was the fact that there is some excellent beer brewed locally. Definitely worth sampling!

End of the Line for Floating Palace; after a Failed Preservation Attempt, the Last Siren Has Sounded for Birkenhead's Windsor Castle. the Biggest Ocean Liner Built in England Is Sailing to the Ship-Breakers Next Week. Peter Elson Reports on a Ship That Once Epitomised the Best of British
Byline: Peter Elson
WHEN she sailed on her maiden voyage 45 years ago, it was said that every passenger travelling in first class was titled.
Costing pounds 10m, RMS Windsor Castle was the last great South African mail ship and the finest vessel that Cammell Laird's Birkenhead workforce could produce.
As flagship of Union-Castle Line, she slashed two days off the schedule of the 7,000-mile voyage from Southampton to Cape Town from the previous 13 and a half days.
Windsor Castle was launched in brilliant sunshine on June 23, 1959, by the Queen Mother, before a crowd of 50,000 and watched by millions more on television.
The Queen Mother broke a bottle of sparkling South African wine against the bows and spoke the traditional words: 'I name this ship Windsor Castle, may God bless her and all who sail in her.'
The bottle smashed with such gusto it splashed over the Queen Mother. What should have been an unadulterated celebration of the country's maritime supremacy was marred by a nine-week dispute, which started on the ship.
Dubbed by the press as the 'who twangs the twine war', striking boilersmiths argued with shipwrights about who should draw chalk lines on the ship's plates. Thousands of Laird's workers were laid off, the launch postponed and the large ceremonial luncheon cancelled.
Yet the event was so popular that traffic grid-locked in Birkenhead and police shut the shipyard gates 30 minutes before the launch, fearing a crush. This caused uproar among the crowd, with hundreds of ticket-holders excluded.
Even Bob Bird, the famous Wirral press photographer, couldn't get in, recalls his son Robin: 'Instead Bob went to the riverfront and took a dramatic picture of Windsor Castle surrounded by tugs. This was well received by news desks as all the other press photographers couldn't get out of the yard.'
Whether through stress or atmospherics, the Queen Mother suffered a severe nose-bleed, jeopardising the event, timed for the vital high tide.
Somehow she recomposed herself and christened the ship just one minute after its scheduled time of 1.30pm. She alluded to the shipyard row in her speech later, saying: 'I am so glad to be here and to launch the Windsor Castle in spite of the difficulties which I know you have had to contend with.'
Bob Hunt, also from Prenton, was a charge-hand supervisor on launch day for Windsor Castle, working in a 5ft-high space beneath the ship.
He says: 'It was a beautiful day, but there was a big strike going on. Using a seven pound hammer I had to split out the supporting pine keel blocks so Windsor Castle would sit down on the heavily greased launched ways.
'When we finished, the foreman alerted the launch platform and the Queen Mother smashed the bottle on the bows. Simultaneously, a bell was pressed telling the men to trigger the release on the hydraulic rams, holding the ship in place.
'Immediately the ship's weight started carrying her down the slipway. It was a fantastic sight seeing this massive ship sliding into the water. It wasn't noisy, just the sound of grease cracking under the ship and a few crashes and bangs.
'With so much water displaced, there was a big backwash onto the slipway, so the stewards had to keep the surging crowds back.'
Mr Hunt, who retired from Laird's in 1993 as steel construction manager, says: 'Windsor Castle was a fabulous ship. The best one I ever worked on.'
Bob Jones, 79, from Prenton, says: 'I remember when we laid the first keel plate. Cammell Laird was delighted with such a prestigious contract. This was before pre-fabrication and the workforce could adapt to building anything, having completed the aircraft carrier Ark Royal a few years earlier. We could do tankers, tugs, anything.'
Mr Jones, who started as a shipwright, later becoming manager for accuracy control on steel welding and in charge of the mould loft, says: 'Windsor Castle is a beautiful ship and the fact that she lasted so long is a great tribute to Laird's. …

State employees injured by carnival trailer wreck
WESTMINSTER An East Calais woman was one of two state employees injured Tuesday afternoon when a box truck hauling a carnival cotton candy trailer jackknifed on Interstate 91 and hit their car.
Vermont State Police said Patricia Ethier, 44, was driving the state Department of Labor car and Aaron Lewis, 38, no address given, was her passenger. Both were taken to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital. According to a state employee directory, both work for the Department of Labor in Montpelier.
A spokeswoman at the hospital said she could not confirm whether either was a patient there.
Police said both were wearing their seat belts.
Police said a box truck driven by Karl Blanton, of Lenoir, N.C., was southbound on Interstate 91 at about 1:45 p.m. when it left the road.
Both northbound and southbound traffic was reduced to one lane until the two state employees were freed from their vehicle, a Ford Fusion.

Comedy Central Certified
Luis Villasenor
Luis Villaseñor was born February 6, 1983. He was the last-born child to two Mexican parents. He was raised in the streets of South Central Los Angeles, where he tormented his schoolteachers with constant jokes and quick comebacks. That was until the age of twelve, when his family moved to the city of Colton. It was there where he continued his claim as the class clown. Ever since he was a young child, his goal was to attend college and become a math teacher. In the fall of 2001, he achieved one of those goals by attending the University of California, Riverside, where he double majored in liberal studies and mathematics. Once at the university, he realized that wasn't where he wanted to be. He dropped out after a year and a half at the university and quickly pursued after his next goal to become a police officer. But he soon decided to steer clear of that goal when he found out that criminals had bigger guns and more rights!
After a short time off, he finally decided to go against his better judgment and try Stand Up Comedy at the World Famous Irvine Improv. After getting off stage for the very first time, it was obvious to him that comedy was what he wanted to do. Since then, Luis has been cracking up audiences with his mixture of his own personal life as well as his observations of daily events. His own smart ass ways are bringing laughter out the everyday situations.
In his short time in comedy he has had the opportunity to open up for such acts as Rex Navarrete, Shawn Wayans, Anjelah Johnson to name a few. In 2010 he went into Headlining his own shows and has since taken on new audiences surprising many with his new and unique voice. Don't miss this young and new voice in comedy!

SAN FRANCISCO – Tim Hudson is headed back to the Bay Area.
The San Francisco Giants have agreed to a $23 million, two-year contract with the free-agent pitcher, who began his career with Oakland. Hudson had a physical Monday, and team officials said the deal is pending the results of that examination.
Hudson made his major-league debut with the Athletics in 1999 and went 92-39 in six seasons with Oakland, where the right-hander teamed with Mark Mulder and Barry Zito to form a successful "Big Three."
The 38-year-old Hudson was 8-7 with a 3.97 earned-run average in 21 starts this season for Atlanta. His season was cut short by a broken right ankle that required surgery. The Braves earlier this month declined to make a qualifying offer to Hudson, who won 49 games from 2010 to 2012.

"I'm pumped," Giants lefty reliever Jeremy Affeldt said by text message. "Great signing for us. Competitor and innings eater. Knows how to win!"
Hudson was hurt July 24 in New York when the Mets' Eric Young Jr. inadvertently stepped on the back of the pitcher's lower right leg while Hudson covered first base.
San Francisco, which missed the playoffs this year after winning the World Series in 2010 and '12, is seeking another starter to join Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner and Tim Lincecum in a rotation that loses Zito and perhaps free-agent Ryan Vogelsong.
Cain, Bumgarner and ex-Washington Husky Lincecum are each signed for at least the next two seasons.
• Carlos Ruiz, 34, and the Phillies have agreed to a $26 million, three-year contract that will keep the former All-Star catcher in Philadelphia, two people familiar with the negotiations said.
• Alex Rodriguez's grievance hearing to overturn his 211-game suspension resumed with the first of what could be 10 straight days of sessions in New York. The New York Yankees' third baseman was suspended Aug. 5 for alleged violations of the sport's drug agreement and labor contract.
The sides spent their ninth day before arbitrator Fredric Horowitz.
• Former All-Stars Omar Vizquel — an ex-Mariner — and Wally Joyner will be part of new Detroit manager Brad Ausmus' coaching staff with the Tigers.

Hey anyone want to play xbslink with this release?
cloud called [PS3] Black Ops 2 if anyone wants to join
if in case i want a 4.xx firmware, what should you guys recommend? rogero , ermac or rebug?
i went with rebug and it seems very stable just updated today tho
Yea Rebug is a lot better than Rogero. I tried Rogero and went back to Rebug 5 mins later. Its unstable and just crappy.
I've been trying to get F12012 working all day and just gave up and now you show the patch... damn it, now I gotta go back to it.
I"m not sure why buy I cant get most games working in 4.21REX without a patch and even then some games still wont work. F1 2012 is one of those games. It runs but wont install. It asks for update, it updates and still runs but wont install.
In 3.55 it installed, I even patched the update and it worked fine but in 4.21 it wont go past the F1 2012 logo with the spinning circle. I tried normal and BDMirror modes both with the same result. It just wont install.
4.21 is nice for older games but there is still a lot of protection we need to get around.
Yesssss. Time to decrypt it before release.. just like I did MW3. *fyea*
hi is there any or anyone can give an alternative link for I Am Alive fixed... i can't seem to download the one that are available...
It's all good my friend actually the game i downloaded was prepatched with this fix and ripped to about 20 gigs i guess ill just deal with the loading time lol
you be a legend if you can get bop2 working on 3.55 bro.. hehe
Has others tried my patch for BO2 I posted yesterday? Its working for me in 4.21REX but its a 3.55 patch.
I've tried once and unfortunately these fixes are for 3.55 and they doesn't work with 4.30. I've tried without updates and installing all updates. Still no luck. I've also tried 1.15 fix which is given here. None of them worked.

Najwa Karam partied like it was her birthday at 88 Café – Resto
So she might be creeping up on 50, who cares?! Najwa Karam knows another year of life is always something to celebrate. The Lebanese diva threw down a sweet celebration with her closest pals at "88 Café – Resto" in Beirut on occasion of her birthday earlier this week. Well known peeps like Mr. and Mrs. Assi Helani, director Walid Nasif, composer Wisam Al Amir, maestro Ellie Al Alia, stylist Bassam Fatouh, and journalist Jumana Bu Eid were just a few of the faces present at the star's 48th birthday bash.
According to Sayidaty.net, Najwa, known to be one of the few, the proud, the celebrities that admit their own age, said she is not ashamed of getting older, and deemed fear of revealing your age pure ridiculousness.
Najwa gifted her guests with an opening song for the soirée - a duet with Wisam. Assi Helani offered his vocal talents too, dedicating a song to the birthday girl. A hidden agenda for celebrating her own day of birth was to show her support for the owner of the recently opened restaurant, who just so happens to be a personal pal of hers.
Showered with presents of chocolates and flowers, the songstress proved she can still party hardy despite her age, as she sang and danced the night away until 3am.

Tries to sit in a bench, but has problems with his tail, he, then walks away. But he is called by a Machamp that broke the bench, so he could sit confortably. They are comrades, brothers, as both have suffered the pain of being forced to fight with a fellow creature, and both escaped it. They both know in that moment they have suffered the same thing, and become friends.

text: > > Does the Erlang/OTP team have a policy on security advisories, so users > and package maintainers can evaluate their risk? > Thanks for the patch. I don't really understand what you mean with "policy on security advisories". Please explain more I really want to learn if we have missed something important. This was a bug in the pcre package that we use for the re module in Erlang. As Erlang/OTP is a development system the users can build any type of system with it. And it is the users built system that might be exposed for security issues. We cannot make Erlang/OTP in a way that guarantee that the system build by the user with erlang7OTP does not have security issues or can crash on certain input etc. Of course it is a very bad idea to let the external user to a system freely create regular expressions which are used directly as parameters to the re:compile function. And that is true even if there is no bug in pcre. A complex regexp can for sure break the system anyway by consuming memory or by taking very long time to compile or use in searches. /Kenneth Erlang/OTP Ericsson

These bike sharing plans are popping up all over Europe, and I think they exist in some Canadian cities, too. I hope the idea will catch on in other parts of the world because it gets more people into using the bicycle for commuting. I wonder if any U.S. cities are on board.
I've started using the rental bikes here in Seville. When I want to go downtown now, I tend to use one of the bikes that are parked just a block from my house instead of getting out my own. It's fast and easy, and I don't have to worry about my bike being stolen. The service is also great for going out at night because you don't have to drag your bike around with you wherever you go.
Gotta love the good ol' USA. I'm almost positive that we have at least twice as many lawyers per capita as any other country in the world.
There have been many bike sharing plans in the US over the last 30 years or so. Theft and vandalism, not liability concerns, were what did them in. This is just as big a problem in Europe, so I imagine they're planning on losing bikes as an operating expense.
"Think Outside the Cage"
I was thinking that it was smart for the French government to implement this bike program BEFORE they tried to bust the transit workers union. The bikes were probably fully utilized during the strike.
The thing is that it is one euro a day, but only for 30min blocks. Each extra 30 min block you have the bike is an extra euro. So these bikes are not really sitting around to get stolen. That also insures that there are bikes in the stations. I know when we took the velib we were pedaling like hell so that we could get where we were going in less than 30 min.
If you take a bike and keep it for 24 hours you will pay 49 euros.
You must wait at least 10 min before checking the bike out again. As i said, you can only pay a euro a day, or for a year pass the 29 euros, but if you leave it out you pay through the nose.
Most places you would want to go are within a 30min bike ride anyway....
So if you were going into a store, say, you'd return the bike to a stand while you were shopping, then get another one when you get out. This would discourage theft, as the stands are secure parking.
Of course, if it works in Paris it will probably also work in a lot of places.

The Friendly Young Ladies (1943)
by Mary Renault
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I read this book because I was reading reviews of the Well of Loneliness, and it was mentioned. In fact, the comment was something like 'oh God, the Well of Loneliness, it's so up itself and tortured and po faced and hilarious, it's such a shame it's the defining lesbian novel, the only good thing I can say about it is that it inspired Mary Renault to write The Friendly Young Ladies because she felt exactly the same way as me.' Which given Well is up there in my Favourite Books Ever was a bit of a red rag to a bull, but I like books that are in conversation with other books, and I like queer books that aren't modern queer books and so shed a different light on things, and I like buying books WLOG. So I bought it.
It is definitely in conversation with Well. There are some really wonderfully crafted snarks, where the heroines will be given feedlines to Angst, and then say very prosaically 'I expect most relationships are unusual when one knows enough about them. We're pretty well used to ours, it seems ordinary to us'.
It's a book that left me very keen to Study It - there are bits where they are having clever grown up conversations hinting and implying things I don't quite get, and there are bits where the characters just Know their feelings and act on them, but it's a bit show and not tell - whether I'm a modern reader, or a stupid reader, there were definitely times I'd like the Spark notes just to confirm that what was being implied was what I was reading.
The plot.. well, there isn't that much plot. We start with Elsie Lane, a schoolgirl who runs away from her boring sad middle class home, and seeks out her older sister, Leo, who lives on a boat with Helen. Elsie has a crush on Peter, who has been her doctor and the first man she's really known, there's an author living nearby called Joe, and the characters wander around and interact and change relationships and grow. But they're skillfully drawn, and engaging, and the book has moments of great humour and great sadness and great passion.
Much of the book is setting Elsie's naivety (and Peter's too) against the wisdom of Helen and Joe and Leo. Elsie is so young and sweet and painfully unaware about what is really going on - not stupid, but very sheltered, and not self aware enough to face the things that would hurt her. I wanted her to grow and change, and found the ending (heartbroken that Peter is having a fling with Leo, she returns to her parents) unsatisfactory... but she has grown and changed, and he parents have moved, and the world she goes back to is not the world she left.
Oh, Peter. I loved Peter. I hated Peter. I saw too much of myself reflected in Peter. So arrogant, so convinced he is Saving people by making them fall in love with him, so self centred that he doesn't even see what he is doing. The entire book is worth it for the scene where Peter carelessly and painfully turns up at the boat with his real girlfriend (which will break Elsie's heart if she realises) and Leo delightfully seduces the girlfriend and leaves him entirely dumbfounded and with no recourse.
And the book is worth it for the joy of living on the boat - the sunlight, the island, the feel of the punt sliding through the water, or the chilly morning swims, or the hard work pumping out the bilges.
It turns Well on its head in many ways. There is Leo, boyish in her shirts and trousers, living with Helen, a beautiful well dressed feminine nurse. And you see the patterns of Stephen and Mary, except then it is _Leo_ who finds a boy and runs off with the boy at the end of the book, and it is Helen who gets to make the speeches about how she stays with Leo because Leo is what she wants, but Leo stays with Helen only because she has a broken wing that will heal one day...
Yes, for the record, if you want Well of Loneliness fix it fic, this is another book where the charming, adorable and friendly young ladies of the title are going to end up Doomed because one of them ends up with a boy. Even the author is annoyed by this - when they republished the book she wanted them to stop the ending short - 'far better leave Leo's choice in the air with the presumption she stays with Helen' - and in the end they compromised by letting her write an epilogue, saying 'there is much I would write differently... the silliness of the ending [is] inevitable disaster, [which] is it naïve to present as a happy ending'. Although it isn't a happy ending, it is a deeply uncomfortable ending, Leo swayed by Joe's bold ultimatum of a letter, standing in her bedroom holding Helen's dress in floods of tears, and packing to leave. Not really fix it fic...
It's notable as a book in that it has both silly and serious relationships. Not a farce, where everything is casual and superficial, but a space where people fall casually together for light love making that doesn't have to mean a lot, and yet still have deep deep passions for the people they truly love.
Oh, Helen. Beautiful, charming, wonderful, she is never the focus of the novel, but drifts in when needed, healing, soothing, straightening. Graceful and kind, but with a core of strength, who would never want to try to keep someone who did not want to be kept. A goodbye kiss, and her graceful brisk walk to the ferry, 'It's perfectly fair. Whatever happens, that's the thing to remember. To see things straight, not to arrange them round oneself; if one keeps that, one keeps everything in the end'
So it may be a book that claims to be in conflict with Well's heavy handedness and moralising. But it has very clear messages and morals of its own, how to live and love and be good people, and how things run very deep, and one should never live in comfortable self indulgent delusions.
The writing is excellent which makes the story effective. The young Elsie is a very sad character who doesn't have much grasp of the reality that everybody else seems to understand so well, but their reality strains all credibility. I think that Renault intends us to sympathize with these other characters, but their reality makes so little sense. Why is it an alarming faux-pas to accidentally get a facial sunburn? What's wrong with telling someone directly what's expected of them? How can the way a person applies lipstick be imbued with so much significance? To me Elsie is a tragic figure, unable to escape her solipsism because even those who might have bothered with her are too reserved in what is probably an English fashion to have any effect on her. She's the only character whom I can like and yet she is doomed while the rest are overwrought, pretentious, and just as self-absorbed in their own way.
Mary Renault and Dorothy Sayers were two really talented women drinking the same disturbing Kool-Aid and then inflicting it on the rest of the world with a mordant effectiveness. Renault's early contemporary novels are direct descendants of Sayers' last, Gaudy Night.
This book has me questioning my country shelves. Country shelf is at the moment hovering between country of author/country of publication. The Friendly Young Ladies is set in England by an English author who lived most of her life in South Africa. Categorisation is no easy task.
As for the book itself, for many, many pages it lives up the the back cover blurb of a 'stylish social comedy set in the 1930s', 'delightfully provocative', 'partly in answer to the despair of Radclyffe Hall's [b:The Well of Loneliness|129223|The Well of Loneliness|Radclyffe Hall|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171984586s/129223.jpg|1156985]' right up to the end when it got morose and despairing. Oh well.
Mary Renault is deft, sharp and hilarious. She picks apart her characters' seams and then sews them up again. It's worth reading for the social comedy and not worth reading for the tedious last minute melodrama. Social comedy outweighs melodrama, btw, and if you stop at the end of Chapter 19 you'll have got most of the comedy. Trust me, the end will just make you want to kick an armchair psychiatrist.
One of the best parts of the copy I read is Mary Renault's marvellous afterword, where she not only puts the boot in to poor, glum Radclyffe Hall, she begins, 'On re-reading this forty-year-old novel for the first time in about twenty years, what struck me most was the silliness of the ending.'
Also, houseboats.
And that's as good a last word on the book as anything.
Acquired via BookCrossing 18 Dec 2009 - picked up at Urban Coffee Company's OBCZ
An interesting Virago, quite charming but with an intriguing message as well. This was apparently written as a riposte to Radclyffe Hall's "The Well of Loneliness". Hall posits the idea of a "third sex" of women who are "inverts", ie they have a masculine appearance and nature, while being genetically women. They famously wear "masculine underwear" (Renault mentions this in her Afterword and I've heard it discussed before) and try to make their way in the world as men.
Renault introduces us first to gentle and unformed Elsie, who lives with tyrannical parents, tyrannical because they use her in their battles against each other, so nothing she can do is right for the one, if it's right for the other. She is aware that her older sister, Leo(nora) ran away from home eight years ago. Encouraged by a smarmy locum doctor, she eventually snaps and runs away herself, seeking out her sister on the narrowboat she shares with the pretty medical illustrator, Helen. Leo shares her life and her bed with Helen, but as gentlemen callers, from the smarmy doctor to the half-wild author Joe, circle the boatful of girls, we wonder if Leo could have been turned from her rather masculine early life and dress, if only she'd met the right man...
The doctor, Peter, is a hilarious creation, with his psychological reports on his patients to the long-suffering Norah, but Renault doesn't seem to like her other characters much and the ending, she admits too, is a bit silly. Also, I'm sure she has written books about and accepting male homosexuality, while seeming to cast doubt on the female variety in this novel.
Anyway, it was an enjoyable read with some wincy and some very funny moments.
Offering to the LibraryThing Viragoites.
I hadn't expected to find this book about a young girl's awakening and the allure of the daring lesbian lifestyle (!) in a bygone bohemian age so charming - it's very funny, in a wistful, bittersweet way. It made me smile, rather than laugh, but I smiled all the way through. I remember reading Mary Renault years ago, rather stodgy historical fiction stuff about ancient Greece - I wouldn't have expected a book as sensitive and delightful as this from her on that basis. Pleasant surprise!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375714219, Paperback)Set in 1937, The Friendly Young Ladies is a romantic comedy of off-Bloomsbury bohemia. Sheltered, naïve, and just eighteen, Elsie leaves the stifling environment of her parents' home in Cornwall to seek out her sister, Leo, who had run away nine years earlier. She finds Leo sharing a houseboat, and a bed, with the beautiful, fair-haired Helen. While Elsie's arrival seems innocent enough, it is the first of a series of events that will turn Helen and Leo's contented life inside out. Soon a randy young doctor is chasing after all three women at once, a neighborly friendship begins to show an erotic tinge, and long-quiet ghosts from Leo's past begin to surface. Before long, no one is sure just who feels what for whom.
Mary Renault wrote this delightfully provocative novel in the early 1940s, creating characters that are lighthearted, charming, and free-spirited partly in answer to the despair characteristic of Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness or Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour. The result is a witty and stylish story that offers exceptional insight into the world of upcoming writers and artists of in 1930s London, chronicling their rejection of society's established sexual mores and their heroic pursuits of art and life.

Extra-inning game goes Yanks' way for a change
Extra-inning games have not been a Yankees strength this year despite their excellent bullpen. Before Monday night, they had a 2-7 record after regulation, including 1-5 at Yankee Stadium. Thanks in part to former Yankees infielder Eduardo Nunez, the Bombers pulled out an 8-7, 10-inning victory over the Twins, who had 16 hits in the game.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi expected Monday night to be a bullpen game with Bryan Mitchell starting, but it became that literally after the righthander was knocked out of the game in the second inning with a liner hit by Nunez that struck him in the face and left him with a broken nose.
Girardi used seven relievers to get through the game with the last three — Adam Warren, Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller — doing their customary first-rate work to control the swing-happy Twins.
The Yankees had squandered a 3-0, first-inning lead achieved on Brian McCann's 21st home run but came back from a 7-5 deficit in the sixth on a two-run homer by Carlos Beltran (No. 13), who has gotten quite a few big hits lately, including a game-winning, three-run blast last Friday night at Toronto.
McCann had a huge night for the Yankees with three hits and five RBI. He also threw out three runners attempting to steal second base. Mac put the Yankees ahead, 5-4, in the third with a two-run single, but solo home runs by Aaron Hicks in the fourth off Caleb Cotham and Trevor Plouffe in the fifth of Chasen Shreve moved the Twins in front again, and they added another run in the sixth on a two-out, RBI single by Plouffe off Justin Wilson.
Once the Yankees tied it at 7, the bullpen limited Minnesota to one hit over the final four innings, including retiring the last six Twins batters in succession, four on strikeouts.
Twins closer Glen Perkins came on in the 10th and gave up a leadoff double to rookie Greg Bird, who had entered the game in the sixth inning as a pinch runner for Mark Teixeira, who came out of the game with a bruised left shin the result of fouling a ball off it (x-rays were negative).
McCann continued his hot night with a double off the glove of left fielder Eddie Rosario. Bird had to hold up to see if the ball would be caught and was stopped at third base. Brendan Ryan ran for him after Beltran was walked intentionally to load the bases.
Twins manager Paul Molitor inserted Eduardo Escobar in place of right fielder Torii Hunter and stationed him as part of a five-man infield. Chase Headley hit a hard grounder that Nunez failed to handle cleanly. He threw to first base, even though a throw home was the only chance to keep the game alive for Minnesota. Ryan crossed the plate without a challenge.
The victory increased the Yankees' lead in the American League East to one game over the Blue Jays, who were not scheduled, and stayed four games up on the Orioles, who won their fourth in a row at home against the Athletics.
CC incident incidental to rotation change
Bryan Mitchell starting Monday night instead of CC Sabathia had nothing to do with the lefthander getting into a shouting match on the streets of Toronto during the Yankees' recent series there. A videotape of the incident made the Internet rounds Monday, but Sabathia was not involved in the brawl that ensued soon after the pitcher was shoved into a taxicab by a cousin and left the scene.
"I think I was definitely lucky the other night that I had friends to push me in the cab, that cared enough to get me out of that situation," Sabathia told reporters before Monday night's game. "It was a bad decision on my part."
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said the decision to start Mitchell and push back everyone in the rotation one day was made after Sunday's game and had nothing to do with Sabathia's exchange of harsh words with hecklers in Toronto. Girardi told Mitchell of the change on the charter flight back to New York. Twins manager Paul Molitor confirmed this Monday night when he said his club was notified of the change late Sunday night.
Girardi told reporters before Monday night's game that he was not even aware of the Sabathia incident until Monday afternoon. The skipper also said that players have to be more careful now than ever before because with the preponderance of cell phones today there is really no such thing as privacy anymore.
Yankees 1-hit Orioles on gem by Pineda
On nights like Monday, you wonder where the Yankees could be this year if they had Michael Pineda the whole season. The righthander, who missed 86 games because of a shoulder injury, was close to perfect for 7 1/3 innings Monday night as the Yankees got their final home series off to a good start with a 5-0 victory over the Orioles.
Pineda gave up only one hit, a one-out single in the fifth inning to J.J. Hardy, and allowed only one other base runner on a walk with one out in the eighth to his last batter. Shawn Kelley, Rich Hill and David Phelps finished up the one-hitter for Pineda, who earned his first victory since Aug. 25 at Kansas City. He was 0-3 with a no-decision over his past four starts despite pitching to a 2.49 ERA. His ERA for the season is 1.93.
Derek Jeter continued his hot final home stand with a double and three runs batted in that raised his career total to 1,307, which tied him with Hall of Famer Paul Molitor for 109th place on the all-time list. The Captain is 9-for-20 (.450) on the home stand with three doubles, one home run and six RBI.
Also climbing up a career list was Ichiro Suzuki, whose infield single in the seventh was his 2,840th hit in the major leagues, which tied him with Hall of Famer Charlie Gehringer for 47th place on the all-time list.
The Yankees set a franchise mark for players used with rookie Jose Pirela serving as the designated hitter batting ninth. He tripled in his first major-league at-bat and got his first RBI in the big leagues as well in the third and scored on a groundout by Jeter. Pirela singled in the fifth and scored on Jeter's two-run double. Pirela was the 57th player the Yankees have had on their 25-man roster this year, the most in club history. They used 56 players in 2013.
They could add to the total since they claimed outfielder Eury Perez off waivers from the Nationals. In 67 games combined with Triple-A Syracuse, Class A Potomac and the Class A Gulf Coast League Nationals, the right-handed batter hit .310 with 36 runs, 14 doubles, two home runs and 15 RBI in 242 at-bats. Perez has appeared in 22 career major-league games with the Nationals (2012-13) and batted .154 with four runs and four stolen bases in 13 at-bats.
Chase Headley added to the scoring with a home run in the seventh, his 12th of the season and fifth since joining the Yankees.
Yankees' bats turn cold again
After seemingly breaking out of their offensive malaise with 13 runs total in their victories against the Twins Thursday night and Friday, the Yankees returned to meager production Saturday and went into extra innings.
They were actually fortunate to push the game that far because the one run they scored might have been a gift. Surely the winning run for the Twins in their 2-1, 11-inning victory was just that. A throwing error by Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli trying for an inning-ending double play sent Josh Winningham home from second base with the deciding run.
Before Cervelli's wild throw, it appeared that Matt Thornton had worked out of the bases-loaded jam. Minnesota filled the bags on a pinch double off the right field wall by Chris Colabello, a one-out intentional walk to Winningham and when Oswaldo Arcia was hit by a pitch for the third time in his past six plate appearances.
Trevor Plouffe followed with a dribbler in front of the mound that was pounced on by Thornton, who made an underhand toss to Cervelli for a forceout. Cervelli turned to throw to first base, but his peg sailed over Mark Teixeira and down the right field line as Winningham trotted home.
Cervelli had not been in the original lineup but turned out to be a central figure in the game. Brian McCann was supposed to be the starting catcher and batting third but was scratched because of persistent pain in his left foot. X-rays were negative, but McCann is in a day-to-day situation.
One day after collecting eight extra-base hits, all seven of the Yankees' hits were singles. Their run was scored with a measure of luck. With two out in the fifth inning, Ichiro Suzuki stole second base. Or did he?
Video replays appeared to indicate that Suzuki was tagged in the chest by shortstop Eduardo Escobar before reaching the bag. Yet the Twins did not call for a review. Manager Ron Gardenhire was ejected from the game earlier, so maybe there was a mixup in the dugout.
The Yankees took advantage of the break. Ichiro moved up to third base on a wild pitch and scored on a single to left field by Cervelli.
David Phelps was making that run look mighty large the way he was pitching. The righthander retired 11 batters in a row until Willingham ended the stretch leading off the seventh by driving a 1-1 fastball off the second deck in left field for his eighth home run.
That tied the score and took Twins starter Yohan Pino off the hook. The late-blooming (30) rookie righthander held the Yankees to three hits and two walks with three strikeouts in six innings to keep pace with Phelps. Over his past five starts, Phelps is 2-0 with three no-decisions and a 3.16 ERA in that span covering 31 1/3 innings to lower his season ERA from 4.56 to 4.01.
The Twins did not do very well reviewing umpires' calls. They did not challenge the Ichiro steal. In the 10th inning, they disputed an out call at second base after Sam Fuld had been picked off first only to have it verified by a video review.
The Yankees got a runner in scoring position in the top of the 10th when Derek Jeter singled to right with two out. That stopped a 0-for-14 slump for the Captain, whose 3,397th career hit was also his 2,539th single. Jeet stole second base but was stranded as Brian Roberts, who had four extra-base hits Friday, grounded out.
Before the game, Jeter received a nice parting gift from the Twins. Second baseman Brian Dozier presented DJ with the last second base bag used at the old Metrodome. Hall of Famer Paul Molitor, now a Twins coach, on behalf of the organization gave Jeter a $10,000 donation to his Turn2 Foundation. A year ago, the Twins came up with the cleverest gift Mariano Rivera received in his farewell tour, a rocking chair made of bats broken by Mo's legendary cut fastball.
Yankees take control in first inning
It was a positive sign for the Yankees to break out of the gate early Sunday. They had been pushed around in first innings to the tune of 7-2 in the first five games of the season. Sunday at Toronto, they gave CC Sabathia a 3-0 lead before he took the mound even though they had only one hit in the first inning.
That hit was a two-out, two-run double by Kelly Johnson that climaxed a rally fueled by two walks and a hit batter off Drew Hutchison, who had pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings in a winning first start last week.
The Blue Jays answered back with a run in the bottom of the first on a leadoff home run by Melky Cabrera, the third homer of the series for the former Yankees outfielder. Sabathia had given up four runs in the first inning in his Opening Day start last week at Houston.
Derek Jeter made history with a leadoff single in the third inning. It was career hit No. 3,319 for DJ, who tied Hall of Famer Paul Molitor for eighth place on the all-time list. Jeter moved past Molitor with a single in the fourth for No. 3,320.
"To have the most hits for the most prestigious franchise in professional sports is pretty special," Molitor told me back in 2011 when Jeter reached 3,000 hits. "Getting 3,000 hits is as much a product of longevity as ability. If Derek stays healthy, he has a good chance to rack up a lot more hits."
Rookie infielder Yangervis Solarte has multi-hit games in each of his first three career starts to become the first Yankees player to accomplish the feat since Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio from May 3-6, 1936 (also three games), according to the Elias Sport Bureau. Solarte entered play leading the Yankees in hits (7), doubles (3), extra-base hits (3), RBI (4), on-base percentage (.600), slugging percentage (.769) and OPS (1.369).
Solarte picked up his fourth double and fifth RBI of the season with one out in the fourth and then scored on the Yankees' first home run of the season. Brett Gardner ended the drought with a drive to right off a 3-2 pitch that chased Hutchison.
After rain delay, Yankees rain down hits and runs
It was Phil Hughes' misfortune to have to come out of Monday's game at Yankee Stadium due to a 1-hour, 53-minute rain delay. That was the only misfortune suffered by the Yankees. They got a head start on making up for being swept by the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field last month by trouncing Chicago, 9-1, in the opener of a three-game series.
One day after losing to the Orioles because of Baltimore's seven-run seventh inning, the Yanks constructed an eight-run fourth inning. The beneficiary instead of Hughes was David Huff, the lefthander who has pitched so well in relief since his Aug. 15 call-up from Triple A Scranton.
Hughes, who is winless in 10 starts since July 2, would have loved all that run support against his 4-13 record. What starter wouldn't? For a career middle-innings reliever such as Huff, the eight-run bulge felt just as satisfying. Hughes was actually on the winning side of the ledger at the time the game was stopped with one out in the Chicago second and the Yankees leading, 1-0. Because of the duration of the delay, Hughes did not return to the mound with his teammates.
White Sox reliever Dylan Axelrod was not as lucky as Huff. The Yankees sent 13 batters to the plate in the fourth in scoring eight runs (six earned), all charged to his record, although he was removed after the 10th batter. Robinson Cano was the only Yankees batter that inning who did not reach base. Cano had his hand in the victory with a couple of dazzling, back-to-the-infield grabs, one of which resulted in a double play.
The Yanks' rally was aided by two White Sox errors and two walks but was fueled primarily by seven hits – doubles by Alex Rodriguez, Brett Gardner and Alfonso Soriano and singles by Vernon Wells, Mark Reynolds, Austin Romine and Derek Jeter. In essence, it was a team effort. The Yanks scored as many runs that inning as they did in the three games combined in Chicago last month.
Huff, who is in his second tour with the Yankees this season, had a 14 1/3-inning scoreless streak ended when he gave up Paul Konerko's 10th home run with one out in the seventh. Huff, 29, is 2-0 with a 0.60 ERA in 15 innings since his return Aug. 16 that has lowered his season ERA from 13.50 to 3.32.
The Yankees picked up Huff back in May off waivers from the Indians. After a four-game stint with the Yanks that month, Huff ended up being outrighted to Scranton where he was 1-6 despite a 3.84 ERA. He has pitched so well the past two weeks that Huff might even be considered for a start down the line.
It was also good to see Jeter run with authority when the Yankees scored their first run, off White Sox starter Jose Quintana. For the third consecutive game, Gardner led off with a double. He scored on a ground single between shortstop and third base by Jeter, who alertly took second when left fielder Alejandro De Aza bobbled the ball. DJ also crossed to third on Cano's flyout to right field but was stranded there.
Jeter's hit in the fourth inning was career No. 3,313, which tied him with Eddie Collins for ninth place on the all-time list and is six behind another Hall of Famer at No. 8, Paul Molitor.
The big lead allowed manager Joe Girardi to get some new people into the game. Pitcher Cesar Cabral and catcher J.R. Murphy made their major-league debuts. Cabral pitched a shutout inning of relief and Murphy, pinch hitting for Cano in the eighth, beat out an infield single for his first big-league hit.
Their appearances brought the total of players used by the Yankees this season to 52, a franchise record.
Yankee doodles on the Fourth of July
The Yankees, who played Tampa Bay for the first time on July 4, entered play Wednesday with a 28-28 record on Independence Day in the expansion era (since 1961). The Yankees had lost their past three road games on the Fourth of July and seven of the past nine.
They played on the road on the Fourth of July for the second straight year, the first time they have done that in consecutive seasons since 1996 and '97. The Yankees will not play at home on Memorial Day (May 28), July 4 or Labor Day (Sept. 6) in the same season for the first time since 2006.
The Yankees have posted winning records in the month of July in each of the past 19 seasons (1993-2011). According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it marks the longest winning stretch of Julys in major league history. The previous record was 15, held by the Pirates from 1899 to 1913.
Elias also reported that Derek Jeter became only the third major league player in the past 80 years to get his 100th hit of a season before the Fourth of July, in his age group (38 or older) on that date of the year. The others were Paul Molitor with 110 hits at age 39 for the Twins in 1996 and Pete Rose with 100 hits at age 38 for the Phillies in 1979.
The Yankees have long been associated with the Fourth of July. Lou Gehrig delivered his famous farewell speech July 4, 1939 at Yankee Stadium. Other major events in Yankees history on the Fourth of July were Mickey Mantle's 300th career home run in 1962, Dave Righetti's no-hitter against the Red Sox in 1983 and Phil Niekro's 3,000th career strikeout in 1984. Independence Day was also the birthday of former owner George Steinbrenner and current radio voice John Sterling.
Grandy nominated for Hank Aaron Award
The Baseball Writers' Association of America will decide whether Curtis Granderson is the American League Most Valuable Player or not, but Yankees fans can have a big say about whether the center fielder should win the Hank Aaron Award as the AL's top offensive player.
Granderson is the Yankees' nominee for the award that was established in 1999 to honor the 25th anniversary of Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's career home run record, a mark that now belongs to Barry Bonds. Log on to Yankees.com or MLB.com to register your vote.
For the second consecutive year, a special panel of Hall of Fame players led by Aaron himself will join fans in voting for the award. Aaron added new Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar and another all-time great second baseman, Joe Morgan, to this year's panel to join holdovers Tony Gwynn, Paul Molitor, Willie McCovey, Billy Williams and Robin Yount.
Granderson had a spectacular year for the Yankees, batting .262 and becoming the first player in major league history to get at least 40 home runs, 10 triples and 25 stolen bases in the same year. Curtis led the majors in runs (136), ranked second in home runs (41) and extra base hits (81) and third in RBI (119) and total bases (332). He was the first player this season to get to 100 runs and 100 RBI and did so in his first 126 games.
Yankees players who previously won the Hank Aaron Award were Derek Jeter in 2006 and 2009 and Alex Rodriguez in 2007. A-Rod also won two twice when he was with the Rangers, in 2001 and 2003. Andruw Jones, currently with the Yankees, was the National League winner in 2005 when he was with the Braves.
Winners of the 2011 Hank Aaron Award will be announced during the World Series. It would be terrific if Curtis could pick up the award while the Yanks were in the Series. It's up to you, fans.
Good & bad about All-Star selections
The good news is that the Yankees will have six players on the American League roster, four in the starting lineup, for the All-Star Game July 12 at Chase Field in Phoenix. The bad news is that several deserving players from the Yankees will not be making the trip next week to Arizona.
Let's start with the positive. The Yankees will make up three-quarters of the AL starting infield for the third time in franchise history with second baseman Robinson Cano, third baseman Alex Rodriguez and shortstop Derek Jeter.
The only other time the Yankees had three infielders elected to the starting unit was for the 2004 game at Minute Maid Park in Houston with Rodriguez, Jeter and first baseman Jason Giambi.
The Yankees also had three starting infielders in 1980 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, but only one – shortstop Bucky Dent – had been elected by the fans. Graig Nettles started at third base as a replacement for injured George Brett of the Royals. The Brewers' Paul Molitor was voted the starter at second base but had to be replaced due to injury as well. The Angels' Bobby Grich was added to the roster, but the Yankees' Willie Randolph started the game at the position.
This will mark the 10th time that the Yankees have had at least three infielders on the All-Star roster. First baseman Mark Teixeira's failure to make the squad this year cost the Yankees the chance to have four infielders overall for the third time. The Yankees had four infield All-Stars in 2002 at Miller Park in Milwaukee (Jeter, Giambi, 2B Alfonoso Soriano, 3B Robin Ventura) and in 1939 at Yankee Stadium (1B Lou Gehrig, 2B Joe Gordon, 3B Red Rolfe, SS Frankie Crosetti). Giambi and Soriano were starters in 2004 and Gordon in 1939.
Other years in which the Yankees had three All-Star infielders were 1950 at Comiskey Park in Chicago (1B Tommy Henrich, 2B Jerry Coleman, SS Phil Rizzuto), 1957 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis (1B Moose Skowron, 2B Bobby Richardson, SS Gil McDougald), Game 1 in 1959 at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh (Skowron, Richardson, SS Tony Kubek), Game 2 in 1959 at Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles (Skowron, Kubek, McDougald) and 2006 at PNC Park in Pittsburgh (Cano, Jeter, Rodriguez).
Yankees catcher Russell Martin had led in the voting until the last week when he was passed by the Tigers' Alex Avila. At least Martin made the team as an alternate. His handling of the Yanks' pitching staff has been superb.
Mariano Rivera was an obvious choice for the staff despite his blown save Sunday, which ended a 26-save streak against National League clubs in inter-league play.
Now for the head-scratching stuff – why no Teixeira or CC Sabathia? And has anyone other than Yankees fans been paying attention to the season David Robertson is having?
Tex fell out of the balloting lead at first base last month behind the Red Sox' Adrian Gonzalez, an admitted Most Valuable Player Award candidate, but still ran a strong second in the voting. The Tigers' Miguel Cabrera cannot compare with Teixeira defensively and trails him in homers, 25-17, and RBI, 65-56, but his .328 batting average is 80 points higher than Tex's.
Now, here's the rub. Teixeira has been invited to participate in the Home Run Derby. Nice. He can't be on the team but he can fly all the way to Phoenix and take part in an exercise that could ruin his swing. Ask Bobby Abreu or David Wright about that? Say no, Tex.
All Sabathia has done is lead the AL in victories with 11 and posted a 3.05 ERA. Oh, that's right. Pitching victories do not count anymore. I guess that's why there was room for Felix Hernandez on the staff. The word is that CC pitching Sunday before the Tuesday night All-Star Game hurt his chances of making the team. Dumb reason.
To his credit, AL manager Ron Washington of the Rangers said nice things about Robertson when Texas was in town and that he was given him strong consideration. With so many other Yankees on the team, Robertson didn't stand much of a chance, particularly since every team needs to be represented. When you see the Royals' Aaron Crow in the pre-game announcements, think of Robertson. Crow, also a set-up reliever, is Kansas City' lone representative.
It is a tough break for Robertson, but he is no more deserving than Sabathia, so it is hard to say he was snubbed. A lot of people don't like the baseball rule about All-Star Games having to have players from each team, but I think it is a good thing. The 2012 game is supposed to be in Kansas City. It would be a shame if someone from the Royals was not on the team.
Each club no matter where it is in the standings has someone who deserves All-Star recognition. That the Yankees have so many is a testament to the terrific season the team is having.
Tremendous trio
When Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera made their 2011 debuts Thursday, they also continued to make history. The Elias Sports Bureau reported that they are the first trio of teammates in Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League to play together in each of 17 consecutive seasons, extending the record they established in 2010.
Jeter, Posada and Rivera have been teammates since 1995. Mo is the senior member of the trio. He came up in May of '95 and pitched in 19 games, including 10 as a starter. He gained nation-wide attention for his outstanding work in that year's first Division Series against the Mariners (0 runs, 3 hits, 8 strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings).
Jeter played in 15 games in May and June as a replacement for injured shortstop Tony Fernandez and hit .250 in 48 at-bats. Posada played behind the plate in only one inning of one game as a September call-up and did not bat.
The previous pro sports record for consecutive seasons by three teammates was 15 by the Brewers' trio of Jim Gantner, Paul Molitor and Robin Yount from 1978 through 1992. Tied for the second longest trio of Yankees who played 13 years together: Bill Dickey, Lefty Gomez and Red Ruffing from 1930 through 1942 and Whitey Ford, Elston Howard and Mickey Mantle from 1955 through 1967.
