Wonderfully educational & entertaining at the same time!!,
This review is from: My French Coach - Nintendo DS (Video Game)
This is an absolutely wonderful title in the DS line up. I have been wanting to learn French for years, & finally I have a way to do it easily. I've used this multiple times now & it is very addicting & leaves me with a feeling that I've really learned something. I would DEFINITELY recommend this title.

Hello, love the work you guys are putting in, I'm trying to figure out the /arena open lobby command. I couldn't find any documentation on the lobbies so I'm interested in knowing what they do and how to set one.

I really like pawn stars, American restoration, and Counting Cars.
Each episode is very fast paced with them going out to look for 2 vehicles and then the restoration/flip and finding a buyer for the vehicle.
Danny Koker the Count is the coolest guy and very nice and the rest of the crew are very cool. The airbrush guy horny Mike is amazing and interesting. The finance guy Scott is good at his job and cool. The Counts sidekick Kevin the Business Mgr is interesting and cool, even the detailer Rolli is really cool and interesting.
Only one season is on streaming and I swear I've seen each episode 20x. Along with Pawn Stars and American Restoration for me the best shows on television.
Also the whole season is great, not one miss in any of the episodes.
Although cars and bikes aren't my thing, it's inspirational to groove on the energy of people doing something they
really love.

Down, but not out
Chiefs need 4 straight wins to beat Portland
The Spokane Chiefs must now use the Kelowna Rockets as inspiration.
After Portland's 3-1 win at the Arena on Tuesday night, the Chiefs must win four consecutive games against the Winterhawks to advance in the Western Hockey League playoffs.
The chore will be daunting, but Kelowna showed it's possible in the first round of the playoffs this season, storming back from a 0-3 deficit against Seattle.
"We know it can happen," said Ty Rattie, who scored Portland's first goal Tuesday. "The fourth one's the hardest to win and we're looking to get that done tomorrow."
"The bottom line is you can't give up," Chiefs coach Don Nachbaur said. "You take it one game at a time, one period at a time."
Spokane played its best game of the series, giving up an empty-net goal with 15 seconds left in what was otherwise a one-goal game.
But the Winterhawks continued to clamp down on the Chiefs' offense. Portland has held Spokane to one goal in the last 152 minutes, 37 seconds of the series.
"We're getting chances, we're just not bearing down," said Chiefs right wing Blake Gal, whose power-play goal at 16:24 of the second period snapped Spokane's scoreless streak of 129:01. "At least we know the chances are there."
"We haven't made many plays in this series," Nachbaur said. "Part of that is we're too eager to throw it away … too many turnovers and not taking them on in certain situations."
Portland has outscored Spokane 13-3 in the series. Counting the regular season, the Winterhawks are 10-2 against the Chiefs this season, including seven consecutive wins.
"Spokane's a very good team and we know that," Winterhawks center Chase De Leo said. "They compete harder than any team we've played. We have to play tomorrow's game like we're down 3-0. We're not looking ahead."
Goalies Mac Carruth of Portland and Eric Williams of Spokane dominated the first period with several good saves, including stops by both on 4-on-2 plays. Rattie beat Williams top-shelf with 47 seconds left in the period for his 10th goal of the postseason.
Nic Petan, who assisted on Rattie's goal, also scored top-shelf at 8:01 of the second period after making a nifty move to his right.
Gal's team-leading sixth goal of the playoffs came 4 seconds after De Leo was penalized for slashing.
"That obviously gave us life," Gal said. "We needed to get that one past Carruth because he's playing a hell of a series right now. So maybe that will give us some life for the next game."
The Winterhawks had a goal disallowed with 13:16 left for an illegal pass.
Spokane pulled Williams with 1:30 left. The Chiefs couldn't get the equalizer and Taylor Leier scored the empty-netter.
"I think it was right there for us to win," Nachbaur said. "All we had to do was give a little push back."
"Spokane played hard tonight," Portland coach Travis Green said. "We knew we'd get their best game of the series so far."
If the Chiefs win tonight, Game 5 will be at the Rose Garden on Saturday night.

VIDEO: Warriors' Andre Iguodala hits three at buzzer to beat Hawks
Golden State Warriors' Andre Iguodala hits the three at the buzzer to beat the Atlanta Hawks 101-100.
With so many shooters and offensive options on the Golden State Warriors, it's hard to know who to guard on a final possession. Andre Iguodala inbounded the ball to Stephen Curry with the Warriors down two to the Atlanta Hawks and 3.2 seconds left. Curry was immediately doubled by Iguodala's defender, Pero Antic. Curry immediately passed the ball to Igudoala, who was wide-open for the buzzer-beating attempt.
Iguodala knocked it down cold and the Warriors escaped Atlanta with the one-point victory. It's the eighth win in a row for the Warriors. The Warriors needed 37 points in the fourth quarter to erase an eight-point deficit after three quarters. This is Iguodala's second game-winner of the season.

Changing the background color
Changing the background color
Here with this portrait that I captured, let's say that the client comes back to us and says, hey, love the portrait, but I just wish you could change the background, maybe change the Hue or the Brightness value of the background. And so we would then go back say to Camera Raw and work with our Adjustment Brush to do that. Here I want to look at how we can use the Adjustment Brush and also Auto Mask when we have a situation where our edges aren't as defined as they were like in the previous movie. So let's press the K key in order to select the Adjustment Brush.
Next, what I want to do, is I'm going to go ahead and scroll down to my Brush options, and in the Brush options what I want you to do is to choose a relatively small brush here. I want you to turn on Auto Mask, and then also Show Mask. We're going to do this so that we can really see the edges of our mask. Now I'm going to have this nice small brush and I'm going to start to paint over the background,...

ManageEngine, the real-time IT management company, today announced it now manages Android devices in the latest version of its desktop and mobile device management (MDM) software, Desktop Central. The move extends the mobile device management support in Desktop Central to include smartphones and tablets running Google's popular mobile OS as well as devices running Apple iOS. For more information, visit http://ow.ly/gGdTA.
Android remains a dominant player in the mobile device market. IDC estimates the worldwide tablet market hit 122.3 million units in 2012, with Android capturing 42.7 percent of the market. By 2016, the tablet market is predicted to reach 282.7 million units.1 Android's market success is being driven by factors such as its open source platform as well as the variety and competitive pricing of Android devices. In turn, enterprise will continue to feel the impact of increased Android adoption as a growing number of users request access to corporate data from their personal Android devices.
"The mobile usage trends will eventually drive sharp increases in demand for enterprise MDM solutions that embrace BYOD while ensuring enterprise data security," said Mathivanan Venkatachalam, director of product management at ManageEngine. "The growing Android market and increasing demand for Android support among our customer base encouraged us to add Android support to Desktop Central as quickly as possible."
Feature Highlights of Android MDM in Desktop Central
Data wipe – IT staff can remotely wipe the data from a stolen or misplaced device or remove the corporate data from the device when an employee leaves the company to prevent confidential data falling into the wrong hands.
Mobile application management – IT professionals can distribute and manage in-house and Google Play store apps. Technicians can distribute apps based on user requirements and track the complete inventory of all the apps installed on the mobile device.
Configuring profile/policy – IT technicians can create polices that can restrict users from accessing the Internet (EDGE or packet data), thereby ensuring data security by preventing users from exporting corporate data. Similarly, certain device features such as camera and Bluetooth can be disabled.
Default option to run background applications – Companies can enforce that certain, mandatory applications run on user mobile devices, to provide connectivity or to conform to enterprise policies. Desktop Central ensures these applications run at all times in the background, and users may not close them accidentally while accessing other applications.
Support for Android devices follows on the recent inclusion of iOS MDM capabilities in Desktop Central, a move that has already won praise from users like Blake Rodemeyer, IT manager, Guaranty Bank & Trust.
"We were looking for MDM features that can help us to track inventory of mobile devices, view software versions in a dashboard, and more importantly, it should be user friendly and cost effective," said Rodemeyer. "Desktop Central helped us to achieve it."
Pricing and Availability
Desktop Central 8 is available immediately. Prices start at $10 per computer annually for the Professional Edition. The MDM add-on module support is available on all the editions, and prices start at $15 per device annually. The Free Edition of Desktop Central manages up to 25 computers and two mobile devices. A free, fully-functional trial version is available at http://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/download.html.

Almost Ancient Pots
July 25, 2016
Just a note. Pete & I are still working on the products and the photos areas of the site, and since it is homemade (just like the planters), sometimes it takes us a while!!
Years ago, I stumbled upon something new while looking for a class for c.e.u.'s for my horticulture certificate. The time fit my schedule, and off I went to Leu Gardens in Orlando, Florida to take a class in something called Hypertufa.
By the end of the day, I was hooked. I held my first workshop the following year, and soon started making pots for retail. In 2009, the circle was complete as I returned to Leu to teach.
I'm still hooked on Hypertufa. My horticulture certificate has expired, since my time is spent making pots. The containers are rustic and natural, and they provide a perfect growing environment when used for planting. They are also lovely next to the fireplace or with a dried arrangement.
Look for a class at your local botanical garden or come to Florida and join one of my workshops. Leu Gardens in Orlando is a perfect place for me to teach and for you to visit - a top tier botanical garden on the quieter side of the city, near museums and shopping.
If you want to feel good about your gardening efforts, visit mine - always in transition and certainly never perfect. I continue to enjoy my Keyhole Garden. The rubble wall is full up to the top, providing condo living for lizards and frogs, who then help rid the garden of bugs.
I just found out about another type of raised garden, a German hugelkultur and may have to build one. I really appreciate gardening up a little higher and not on hands and knees!
Summer has arrived in Northeast Florida - it's hot and wet this week. While it's a challenge to stay cool and hydrated, it's the perfect time to make my containers.
With Pete's help, we are creating incredible tiles from resin, rock & copper. I always listen to your ideas and make notes at shows. It's great fun, and you never know what will come next. The newest this week is a gingko leaf and a small oak leaf.
I am pleased to have been accepted as a South Carolina State Parks Artist in Residence for 2016. In exchange for a free weeklong stay in a cabin at Poinsett State Park, I will create a piece to display at the park. I have just returned from this lovely park relaxed and ready to tackle the heat and making pots for Fall. I will post pics of the project I create for the park.
See you soon,
My Fall schedule is almost finalized, and changes have been made.
I am so pleased to be returning to Blowing Rock in August and Aiken in September.
Atalaya, September 23 - 25, is one of my favorite places. I am currently reading the book about Anna & Archer's marriage. Since I can't meet this incredible couple, I will enjoy Atalaya and Brookgreen as reflections of their unique personalities. If you haven't visited, it's worth a drive from anywhere.
And a return to another favorite, The Hermitage, home of Andrew Jackson, and site of a lovely Fall show October 1 & 2.
A few plans are still in process, so check back.
I book no shows in July. It's a time for my artist in residency in SC, and a time to start work on pieces for Fall.
Details and links to all of our events, click here
I love to make special pieces just for you, but remember, it's not an instant process. It takes me at least 30 days to make a planter.
I will meet you at a show for delivery, or, if I am going to be in your area, I will gladly deliver. I do not ship.

We drove just outside this storm system the entire way. Just barely missing it. It was as if we had a force field around us. I drove my 2 little boys and I to visit my dear friend in Colorado. 12 hours in the car on Monday then back home that Thursday. A lot of driving, but we had a lot of fun. I'm so glad we went!

Meryl Streep Will Play Opera Legend Maria Callas in HBO Movie
Meryl Streep will once again portray a real-life character in her next project. The Academy Award-winning actress has been tapped to star as opera legend Maria Callas in HBO's TV movie, Page Six reports.
The film will be based on Terrence McNally's play "Master Class" that depicted the opera singer when she gave a series of master classes at the Juilliard School in New York from October 1971 to March 1972. The play debuted on Broadway in 1995 with Australian actress Zoe Caldwell as Callas and Audra McDonald in supporting role. Though the performers' voices were criticized for being worn out, the tour was an enormous popular success.
Mike Nichols will reportedly direct the TV movie, which is scheduled to start filming in January 2015, after Streep completes the production for drama comedy "Ricky and the Flash" about an old fading rock star. "Meryl is learning the tricks of the guitar trade from none other than legendary Neil Young" for that movie, a source tells the site.
Streep, who played Julia Child in "Julie & Julia" and Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady", was nominated for Best Actress at recent Oscars for her role in "August: Osage County". She has filmed Disney movie musical "Into the Woods" where she plays The Witch.

I travel an awful lot, and rising water costs can take my expenses out of control, so I decided to invest in one of these on recommendation from my sister. She has one, her partner has one, and my 18 month old niece has a mini one. We all take these Bobble Bottles everywhere. Run the tap anywhere until it goes ice cold, so you know it is coming from the ground water supply, and refreshing, cold, filtered water wherever you go.
Whoever invented this is a genius, as the competitor models are bulky and expensive. The only flaw is what other's have said about lines. It's not through poor manufacturing, but by nature of the bottle. Try squeezing the water when thirsty, rather than sucking all the air from it. I've had mine a month, and it looks brand new.
Could not recommend enough to water snobs and their families, and business people like myself!
In order to get water out of the filter you have to squeeze really really hard. Painfully hard. Especially if you are at the gym looking for that refreshing gush of water in your mouth instead of having it dripping. The filter is probably a hoax. It doesn't do anything. I tried it several times from the beginning and I can detect no difference at all with tap water.
From the first days of use, the bottle body begun forming these dents and wrinkles that you cannot get away with plus they make the huge effort to squeeze the water out of the bottle even harder because they hurt your palms. The Gym mouthpiece is also useless. I find it impossible to pull the slippery mouthpiece out in the open position with my hands. I use my teeth for that - another failure. In order to avoid spilling your water you have to push the mouthpiece firmly into its closed position which takes some effort as well. And guess what, even if you screw the cap firmly on the bottle, place the protective transparent additional cap on top of the mouthpiece and make sure you have also pushed hard the mouth piece in the closed position, the bottle drips. It has to be kept upright to avoid wetting your gym clothes upon you place it in your gym bag. And even if you keep it upright and full, the slightest squeeze makes it leak.
If the bottle is about half full you will also find a problem getting the water out of it as the filter overhangs about halfway through the middle of the bottle and hence at every squeeze at that point what you get is mostly air and some water coming out of the bottle.Read more ›

Reached by phone in Minnesota, Red Sox shortstop Mike Aviles disputed a report in the New York Daily News that described a "very ugly scene" in which manager Bobby Valentine "got all over" him during infield drills during spring training.
"I don't know where that came from," said Aviles. "I don't remember any incident like that. ... There was nothing that comes to mind that would be anything like that other than just normal player/coach interaction."
The report suggested that Valentine had to apologize to Aviles after the incident. But, asked if there was an instance in which the manager had done anything that would have warranted an apology or if Valentine had taken it upon himself to apologize for an incident, Aviles said, "No."
Bill Madden, who wrote the story detailing the incident, joined the Mut & Merloni Show on Monday afternoon. Asked to describe the dispute and what made it "ugly," he said, "That was just the way it was described to me. I wasn't there, so I can't tell you how ugly it was, but that was the descriptive word given to me. They said it was very ugly."

Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Besides re-signing free-agent RHP Chad Fox to a minor league contract, the Cubs have signed three minor league free-agents in recent days, including one player who (as things stand now) actually has a legitimate chance to make the Cubs 2009 Opening Day Roster.
The three recent signees are veteran catcher Mark Johnson, ex-SF AA LHRP Jason Waddell, and ex-DET AA RHRP Angel Castro.
The 33-year old left-handed hitting Johnson was a #1 draft pick of the White Sox way back in 1994, and was one of the players the Sox sent to OAK in the Keith Foulke for Billy Koch and Neal Cotts trade in December 2002. Since then, Johnson has bounced around like a billiard ball, moving from OAK to MIL to the Cubs (he played at AAA Iowa in 2005) back to MIL, then to ATL, and onward to STL.
Johnson is the epitome of a "4-A" player, a guy who gets a Non-Roster Invitation (NRI) to Spring Training with an MLB club every year and can always find a job at AAA, but has difficulty taking advantage of opportunities at the big league level (254/383/356 lifetime minor league hitter, with 218/314/318 lifetime MLB numbers). .
Over his 15-year pro career, Johnson has spent all or parts of eight different seasons in the major leagues, including three full seasons with the White Sox (1999, 2000 and 2002) where he was used as a platoon catcher, alternating with the likes of Brook Fordyce, Josh Paul, and Sandy Alomar, Jr. Johnson's most recent MLB action came last September with the Cardinals, where hit .294 in ten games. and while he isn't much of a hitter and while he is virtually devoid of power (he's a poor man's Paul Bako), Johnson does take a lot of walks.
Why this matters is because 2008 Cubs back-up catcher Henry Blanco is a free-agent, and he may not return to Chicago in 2009. With reigning N. L. Rookie of the Year Geovany Soto the #1 guy, the Cubs are unlikely to spend much on a back-up catcher, and since top catching prospect Welington Castillo probably still at least a year away, the Spring Training battle for the Cubs #2 catcher job in 2009 would appear (at this point anyway) to be between hold-over Koyie Hill and Mark Johnson, with the loser likely to be the #1 catcher at AAA Iowa.
27-year old LHP Jason Waddell was the Giants' 8th round pick out of Riverside CC in June 2001, and he has spent his entire career in the SF organization, never pitching above AA. He spent the last five seasons bouncing back-and-forth between San Jose and Connecticut, and will likely battle for a lefty reliever job at AAA Iowa in 2009. Whether he will get an NRI to Spring Training with the Cubs has not been announced, but I would bet he will.
26-year old RHP Angel Castro is from the Dominican Republic, but he played college ball in the U. S. at Western Oklahoma State JC. He was drafted by the Tigers in the 13th round of the 2006 Rule 4 Draft, and spent the last three seasons pitching in the Tigers minor league system before getting released last month. He was not a six-year minor league FA, so it is not clear why the Tigers chose to release him at this time. It looks like he had a really nice season in 2008, though. He is presently pitching for Azucareros in the DWL.
A scouting report from 2006 projected Castro as a reliever, with a 90-93 fastball that ccasionally touched 95 and a "darting" knuckle-curve, but if he had that kind of stuff in 2008 at AA one would think the Tigers probably wouldn't have released him.
While it's unknown if Castro will get an NRI to Spring Training with the Cubs in 2009, he will probably be given an opportunity to compete for a bullpen job at AAA Iowa.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
I thought the Cubs' plan was to bring back Hank but at a lower price, hence the buyout. They're already in for $300K, so if Hendry can sign him for say, $1.2MM max, I bet that gets done. Geo seems to like Hank, I wonder if that counts for anything with the brass.
Phil, isn't Koyie Hill still a FA? I didn't know the Cubs already brought him back.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Greg Maddux to announce retirement at Winter Meetings. Can't wait for 5 years from now to see him hopefully be come first unanimous HOF'er. Thanks for the memories!!!!
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Sadly I don't think he'll be unanimous. Too many boneheaded sportswriters floating around.
Tricky Rickey is on the ballot for the first time this year - I wouldn't be surprised if he breaks the highest % record. Who has that now, Brett? I remember it was Seaver for a long time.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
It's still Seaver at 98.84%, followed by Nolan Ryan (98.80%), Cal Ripken Jr. (98.50%), Ty Cobb (98.23%), and George Brett (98.20).
Those are the only 5 over 98% in history. I doubt Maddux does better, always a few stupid voters who vote for no one, or who refuse to vote for first years, etc.

would anyone argue that those are the 5 best players in the Hall? The BBWAA, GED not required....
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Babe Ruth?
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Um--- yeah, he was pretty good too....
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Ted Williams and Wille Mays say " Hi" too.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
IMO-Ruth greatest of all time until some one comes along and pitches and hits as good as he did.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
I agree that reserve catcher may be one of the places Hendry looks to save some salary in 2009.
Is KC serious about contending? Wonder if they'd be interested in a Buck for Marquis deal.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
1. Buck would be more expensive than Blanco.
2. Hard to see any KC interest in Marquis, either from a need or $$ perspective.
3. I think Hendry could flip Marquis for Guillen if he wanted to, but other than that, nope.
4. Royals COULD really use someone like a Mike Wuertz though.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
1. Marquis is more expensive than Buck
2. They have two starters, so I think they need 3 more, unless they plan to forfeit a lot of games in 2009
3. Read #2
4. Well they could really use a power RH setup man. I don't think Wuertz qualifies, plus he will make less than Buck so that makes no sense.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Why the hell would we want Buck? Marquis is more valuable to us as a 5th starter (unless they're willing to take on his salary) than Buck is as a backup catcher...considering how much Hank played last year. I'd rather have Hill and Marquis.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Um, what? No one wants Buck but you. Further,
1. Greinke
2. Meche
3. Bannister
4. Hochevar
5. Davies
I'm sure they'd be willing to upgrade from Davies and put him in the bullpen as a long man, but they hardly have "two starters." They're not about to give up on Hochevar after one rough rookie season. Bannister is one year removed from being a guy with Cy Young votes.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
I had forgot about Hochevar.
Bannister is not one year removed from receiving Cy Young votes. He is however one year removed from having a solid ERA supported by an unsustainable BABIP.
Marquis would be their third starter, though Davies or Hochevar could supplant him by the end of the year.
The point in trading Marquis for Buck is that we get an established ML catcher to back up Soto, not a Sunday backup, but a guy who we won't have to say 'Oh shit what are we going to do now that Soto has a broken leg' backup, while shedding a chunk of salary so which can be spent on Peavy or the new RF'r.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
But why trade for Buck? Buck is a turd. There is a reason Miguel Olivo got 300+ ABs last year. Sign Blanco to be the backup catcher. They will hit about the same, Blanco's defense is far superior (compare 16% CS to 45%), he expects to be a backup, he knows the pitching staff, he knows the coaching staff, works well with Z, is great in the clubhouse, and they cost the same. If the idea is to shed Marquis's salaray, then at least trade him for something we need - LF, bullpen arm, loogy, etc.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Yeah, I had actually thought that Buck is a better defensive catcher than the stats show. Maybe I read it somewhere. He's probably a candidate to be non-tendered, unless the stats lie, or the KC's are really high on his game calling.
I'm talking about an even up trade for Marquis, so someone who comes in a $3 million or less. Not sure we need a left fielder.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
If we can trade Marquis even up for someone we need making 2-3 million and use the savings to complete the trade for Peavy, I am all for it. I'd like to see Hendry get something to replace what he will lose in the Peavy trade - relief arm, swingman like Marshall, utility infielder to replace Cedeno, etc.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Well he's not going to bring Marshall back. And I don't think there's a big difference between your backup SS/2B and your backup Catcher.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Well, if you trade away your backup SS/2B in a deal for a back-up catcher, then you have to sign a back-up SS/2B somewhere and you'd be letting Blanco go. I simply think the Cubs should re-sign Blanco and trade for one of the positions they are trading away. This seems like the best solution.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Blanco is farther gone than Wood.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Brian Bannister is not concerned about your BABIP issues...
that was a fascinating story from last year, how many pitchers realize they were being lucky and trying to figure out ways to "beat the system"?
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
I read that article based on some KC blogger's article last year.
The thing about two strikes was pretty telling. The KC Fan thought that Bannister would do what we want Zambrano to do, throw strikes, and if you get to two strikes on a guy, then try to get the K, but otherwise, just keep it down in the zone. But then when I looked at Bannister's stats - he wasn't really any better with 2 strikes than you would expect.
To be a succesful major leaguer, you've got to get a lot of GB's or a lot of K's. At this point, it doens't look like Bannister is going to be able to do either. I do like the fact that he's trying to figure it out, though. It took Maddux 6 years to do that, but he started off with better talent.
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
speaking of Maddux and 2 strikes...great story on XM radio last night from Leo Mazzone.
Maddux comes over from the Braves and is throwing a bullpen session, I'm guessing first day of spring training or something. They're chatting and stuff and Greg tells Mazzone, just tell Bobby Cox I'm going to give up a lot of 0-2 hits and not to get mad.
Mazzone is like okay, but do I mind explaining why, because I'm pretty sure he's going to get mad when I tell him. So Maddux explains that at 0-2, the hitter has the biggest disadvantage and that's when Maddux is going to try and get him out, instead of wasting a bunch of pitches.
So Mazzone goes to Cox, who's like, wtf are you talking about....Mazzone explains what Maddux said and Cox replies, "and that's what seperates the mediocre from the great".
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
Phil, have you heard any rumors as to the minor lge manager assignments for next season? I know there is an opening at Iowa at this time.
Cubs season tickets
E-Man and all,
Got my Season ticket renewal sheet. Cubs raised ticket prices again (Thanks Mr. Hendry!). They said they are going up 6% overall, but my tickets only went up 4.7%. Better than last year when they said ticket prices went up much less than they really did for season ticket holders (my ticket went up 20.5% last year).
Go Cubs!
Re: Cubs season tickets
Who's going to point out to Manny that GM's don't set ticket prices?
Re: Cubs season tickets
I think you just did. Thanks Dusty Baker!
Re: Cubs season tickets
Can you say backloaded contracts? Cubs said they are raising ticket prices because of the rising payroll. It is rising mostly due to the backloaded contract Hendry gives out. Understand?
Re: Cubs season tickets
Higher payrolls? Oh no! Yea... lets go back to crappy players and no playoffs. Good idea.
Are you even a Cubs fan? Or do you just hang out around these parts in order to find information about season tickets in order to rip off Cubs fans?
Re: Cubs season tickets
Hey there's another thing that Hendry doesn't set!
1. Ticket Prices
2. Payroll
What's it going to be for strike 3, Manny? The schedule is my guess.

Which means that no one is in the Furcal talks, correct?

Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
we would definately need a shortstop i think
we saw the fontenot experience last year
i wish he could play there i am all for getting
him more atbats.
i also agree why would we trade for a backup catcher
use marquis for something else
Re: Cubs Sign Three Minor League Free-Agents
I believe we saw the "fontenot experience" for all of about two plays before Lou swapped him and DeRo.
I don't think either one would be a great SS, though. Significantly worse defenders than Theriot? Hmm. I think they'll both outhit him, but that's not an experiment I expect to see happen. It'd be a way to get another lefty in the lineup, though.

On the other hand, Pries won his first start for Iowa, only giving up two HRs in the process. This trade has got some legs yet!
KB now with 0 RBI in his last 10 games and 1 in his last 15, despite having 19 hits in his last 15 games and raising his batting average from .278 to .286 over that span.
Maybe have Zobrist hit 2 and KB hit 4?
Also -- no HR in the last 15 games -- time for a bunch. Starting tomorrow.
Down a run. Fowler on first. Nobody out. KB singles to left, Fowler makes it to third, perfect throw from Cabrera nails KB trying to stretch for 2nd.
So, instead of 1st & 3rd and no out, you have 3rd with one out. It was a perfect throw, but why take the chance with 3-4-5 hitters coming up?
Must be a Cub thing - our lefties can;t get lefties out.
Splitting hairs, but Jake's pitch was poor execution, while KB's play was a poor decision (and the 2nd time he got thrown out trying to stretch in the game). Poor execution happens. Poor decisions are preventable. Speaking of poor decisions -- Baez's steal of 3rd made absolutely no sense.
Didn't Jake cost them the game with a pitch to Frazier?
Missed the play w/Bryant. What happened?
Not a good decision by Bryant in the 9th. That may have cost them the game.
Can we un-do the Montgomery deal? Please?
Who is this Arrieta guy? Can I get the old one back please?
Well, this is, once again, the whole season for the Sox.
...and the Bryant RBI jinx continues in the 3rd....crap.
bryant's in the dugout filling a police report BECAUSE HE JUST GOT ROBBED.
f'n cabrerra...
chapman showing up and available tomorrow night.
i'm sure he'll be a bit hit. hope he doesn't choke. dude has a rifle for an arm. he'll add a bit of punch to the bullpen.
the 'crosstown classic' sure has lost it's magic with interleague. the excitement level is barely noticable...maybe it's a bit more hype in the city, itself.
