SunshineKaty's ThoughtsBy SunshineKaty
Just had this for my lunch.
The lettuce doesn't really get a look in flavorwise but it gave me a big chocolate hit whilst still getting some vits from the lettuce! :-)
If it's not sweet enough, add more dates or a squeeze of agave. If it's not runny enough, add more water.
My bananas were pretty small. So if you have big ones, you may only need two!

Ooooo, that sounds good. What is cos lettuce?
Sorry it's romaine lettuce... sometimes called cos here... x
yeah actually sweetpea, thinking about it I probably didn't put quite that much in.... I'll change the recipe to 1/2 - 1 tablespoon, you could always add more if it's not strong enough!
Sounds delicious, that's quite alot of cacao, I find about 2 teaspoons enough for me.

The Five Knotsby Fred M. White
Something like a shadow seemed to flicker across the dim hall and then the strange visitant was lost to view. But was it substantial, real and tangible, or only the creature of the imagination? For at half-past four on a December afternoon, before the lamps are lighted one might easily be deceived, especially in an old place like Maldon Grange, the residence of Samuel Flower, the prosperous ship-owner. Some such thought as this flashed through Beatrice Galloway's mind and she laughed at her own fears. Doubtless it was all imagination. Still, she could not divest herself of the impression that a man had flitted quietly past her and concealed himself behind the banks of palms and ferns in the conservatory.
"How silly I am!" she murmured. "Of course there can be nobody there. But I should like--"

Richard Kopelman, Chairman of the Next Generation Manufacturing Conference, believes there are two main challenges for Georgia's manufacturing companies: finding qualified workers and using government incentives effectively. "Eight-two percent of manufacturers aren't taking advantage of the tax credits and incentives available to them," explained Kopelman, who is also a CPA and managing partner at accounting firm Habif, Arogti and Wynne.

Retail Geeks thinks it's a worthwhile venture to track which brands are attracting the most new Facebook fans, more as a backdrop to help provide context and comparative peer data than to assume a linear relationship to sales trends. In the hunt for Facebook relevance - Amazon (AMZN), Nautica (VFC), and Fanta (KO) are three hot brands - while OfficeMax (OMX), Hanes (HBI), and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (KKD) are barely moving the Facebook meter.| Jun. 5, 2013, 2:05 PM | 1 Comment

The Russell 2000 (IWM) cracked 1,000 for the first time this morning, but the small cap sector is far from over-loved by the fund managers who invest in it, according to Credit Suisse's Lori Calvasina - they ended Q1 with cash holdings at a near 10-year high. Indexing (IJR, IWO, IWN XSLV are some others) beats most active management, but Calvasina screened for stocks owned by fewer than 50 small-cap funds with $500M-$1.5B market cap, and with favorable investment ratings. No surprise the answer is heavy on mREITs - MTGE, AMTG, PMT. Also coming up: OMX and WFR.| May 20, 2013, 3:11 PM

More on OfficeMax's (OMX) Q1: Adjusted Q1 sales fall 4.3% Y/Y reflecting "weak macroeconomic conditions and continued industry declines in technology sales," CEO Ravi Saligram says. Results should improve in H2 thanks to cost-cutting. Same-store sales in the retail segment fell 5.4% Y/Y. OMX sees Y/Y sales declines in Q2 and for FY13. However, the company says sales should not continue to decline at the same rate going forward and notes operating margins for the full year should be higher than they were for Q1.

"Well, there's bad news for the few of you who still had any interest in buying a new VCR for some reason: Funai Electric, a Japanese company that was the last bastion of VCR production,is turning off the assembly line by the end of July.
The decidedly not-shocking news comes after Funai reported sales of just 750,000 VCR units last year, after selling 15 million on an annual basis at its peak.
I know what you're thinking: Almost a million people bought VCRs in 2015? That's pretty surprising, but there is a collector's market for these things."

Among the survey participants are: Carnegie Mellon, Cambridge University, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya the University at Albany, the University of Melbourne, Florida State University, the University of Alberta and Victoria University of Wellington.
The report gives detailed data on the use of various bibliometric and altmetric tools such as Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scimago, Plum Analytics, and many, many others. The 114-page report presents detailed information on staffing, budgets, marketing, sources of demand, technology and other factors in bibliometric and altmetric service development.
Just a few of the report's many findings are that:

Police find man dead following shootout at apartment complex
Updated:ATLANTA —
One person is dead and another seriously injured following a shootout at an Atlanta apartment. Witnesses told police the shootout was between two groups in the breezeway of the Daron Village apartments on Harwell Road in northwest Atlanta.
When officers arrived, they found one man shot. He was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital. As officers canvassed the complex, they found another man with several gunshot wounds dead behind a building.
According to Atlanta Police Homicide Commander Paul Guerrucci, the motive was robbery, but they are trying to piece together who was the victim and who was the robber.
"Not sure the exact relationship or if it was two different groups involved in the gun battle which resulted in the other person being killed," Guerrucci said.
The father of the man taken to Grady said his son told him the dead man tried to rob him.
"Guy pulled out a gun and shot my son twice then ran," John Tillman said.

Recent reviews
Good 3.9 /5 from 10 reviews
Nice stay - Spacious rooms and ambience was good.
Low cost is the only plus. Breakfast is marginal. Given the hotel is in the heart of Patong Beach I was surprised at how bad the neighbourhood is. Had to walk a long way to find a restaurant. I was their on business and when I asked for an iron and iron board I found out that the hotel had only one on property, and guess what someone else had it.
The hotel was very cheap and offered us good service. The pool was not usable but eventually they prepared it and made it available to us and also gave us permission to use the pool in their resort that is on paton beach. Pros: Great pool and accesibility to their Patong Bay Garden Resort Pool and bar, free water on the house was much appreciated, free internet. Cons: Very hard bed, had a very hard time sleeping. Air conditioning cannot be set to different stages. It's either too strong making the room too cold or you stop it and enjoy the hot nights in the sauna :)

I'd like to submit that this blog is actually finding it's feet. There's no death throes here. This is evolution baby. Climb aboard!
This is worth watching if you can get BBC programmes where you are. "Georgia O'Keeffe: By Myself"
On BBC1. No.3 in the 2016 "Imagine" series.
"On the brink of the Depression in 1929, Georgia O'Keeffe – America's first great modernist painter – headed west. In the bright light of the New Mexico desert, she forged an independent life and found the solitude she needed for her truly original art. The photographs taken of her by her older lover scandalised the public. Her flower forms were seen as a shocking and vibrant display of femininity, her bones and skulls as surreal and disturbing. Now, 30 years after her death, to coincide with a major Tate Modern show, imagine… tells the story of Georgia O'Keeffe, one of the most inspiring artists ever."
An exhibition of her work is on at The Tate Modern until October 30th.
Four Tet – Randoms
What does it sound like?:
I prefer my electronica to have the imprint of a human hand somewhere within it. Four Tet's music is so human, he makes the machines sound organic. I hear him as being the other side of the same coin as Burial. The pair attended the same school and have collaborated with each other. Whereas Burial's music is dense, dark and dystopian, Four Tet's is bright, open and polished. He uses similar sounds and textures to instil a feeling of hope rather than dread. He is heads to Burial's tails, The Beatles to The Rolling Stones.
Randoms isn't actually a new album. It's a collection of tracks released over the years for different projects, including charity albums and other compilations. The oldest dates back to 1996 and the most recent came out in 2013. The nine pieces are not presented in chronological order but, instead, are sequenced to give the feel of the ebb and flow of an album. It neatly captures his variety of musical languages over his career.
Mama is a gentle, contemplative start. We are introduced to Four Tet's characteristic percussion lines, which are simultaneously complex and uncluttered. For These Times » Continue Reading.

The Age Of Bowie
Author:Paul Morley
Not so much a biography, more of a critique of the life and times of David Bowie.
Paul Morley's writing is certainly not everyone's cup of tea – remember those long ponderous articles in the NME back in the day? He is, however, one of the team who curated the 'David Bowie is' exhibition for the V&A.
If you're looking for a linear book on Bowie's life in straightforward chronological order then this most definitely isn't the book for you, and likewise if you want a detailed album by album analysis of his musical output.
This is instead more a series of impressions about Bowie, which perhaps tell you as much about the author as they do the subject.
To be fair, Morley does cover the major players in the Bowie story – Visconti, Eno, Iggy, Reed etc, and he is particularly strong on his early days and musical career.
It illustrates very well how Bowie never stopped moving forward and innovating, even when he dropped out of the public eye, constantly striving to invent the future.
At the end of the day, the book lives up to it's sub title, because David Bowie did indeed make a » Continue Reading.
Too Much Stuff- The Afterword reviews the Quietus' Top 100 Albums
Further to Lodestone of Wrongness' thread on the Quietus' Top 100 albums of the first half of 2016, I invite you to pick an album from this list and provide your fellow AWers with a review. It can be as short as a few lines or be a more in-depth critical analysis over several paragraphs – it's entirely down to how much or little the music moves you, I suppose, or how much time/arsedness you can spare. You could even present it as a series of bullets points – the style you choose doesn't matter. All I ask is that we refrain from sarcastic one-word reviews like "crap" or something, however strong the temptation.
The first step should be to post here which album (number, artist and title) you intend to listen to so that we don't get too much overlap, although I don't think there's anything wrong with a couple of different perspectives on the same record. I suspect those available on streaming services will be the easiest, risk-free option.
Next, either post your review in this thread or do it as a Nights In if that's what you feel like. There's no time limit, so take as long » Continue Reading.
New reggae please
I have just been acquainted with Protoje. This is off his last album released at the end of last year:
Blinking heck it is good. Any more stuff like this?
Too much stuff
I know it's an old topic as to how one keeps up (or even wishes to keep up) with the wacky world of popular music when there is just so much out there. Quietus is not exactly my go-to site but out of this Top 100 (Top one bloody hundred!!!) I have heard of roughly 10% of the artists and own precisely 5 of the records. Howsabout you?
Sandy Pearlman
I know there are a few fans of Blue Öyster Cult here, and as most people interested in the band will know, Sandy Pearlman played a significant role in their formation and early careers. He was taken badly ill back in December of last year and was running out of money to meet his ongoing medical costs. There's nothing on the BOC website but Eric Bloom posted this on Facebook
"Thanks to all who gave to Sandy Pearlman's support fund but unfortunately he passed last night. We got the word that it was peaceful. I met Sandy in 1968 when I did the sound for SWU at the Electric Circus in NYC on Thanksgiving Day. In the Spring of 1969 he approached me to front the band. He was the creator, mentor, early manager, occasional lyricist of what became BOC and he penned the name. He got us our record deal with Columbia Records. He wrote the lyrics to ETI, ME-262, Cities On Flame and many more. He produced several albums. He certainly changed the path of my life. He had a brilliant mind, could discuss almost any topic and recently was lecturing at McGill University. Rest in Peace."

Who the hell are Beach House?
And why have they made me fall in love with this song again.
It owes a great deal to the version by Beck in the film Eternal Spotless in a Sunshine Mind (or whatever) and has been covered by loads of artists, including the mighty Stackridge. It was written by their James Warren after all and has made him slightly rich in the process. God bless him.
No, no! Wait! Come back!
Great artists with long careers always have a few songs that sound nothing like them. Bob Dylan has whole records. So what's a track of your beloved band that you would play for the defiant naysayer who claims he's heard the "a million times." For example, Tom Waits? Elvis Costello? I don't much like 'em at all. I know what they sound like… or do I?
I'll start with Jethro Tull. I really like this song, but it's unusual for them to be sure. I'm basing this on 2 things.
#1: My music nazi wife who inexplicably hates Tull, loves this song.
#2: Ian Anderson the composer/singer/& Fuhrer of Tull is on record as hating this song. (He wrote and performed it. Once.)
So what are your examples of *great* songs by major artists , that nevertheless challenge perceived expectation?
Pease good songs only! No novelty tracks.
RIP somebody hardly anybody's ever heard of, including me
Gary Paxton, that is. Mucker of LA Svengali Kim Fowley, and was in a duo called Skip and Flip with Flip Battin, later of the Byrds. But his main claim to fame, and the reason he will live on for ever in my heart [(C) Jase from Sales] is that he turns out to be the voice on this classic, from 1960. Drunk as a skunk when he recorded it, apparently… https://youtu.be/zLD_LTXRmDY

One Named Charlie, One Named Fred
Hi –
I recently closed my old Twitter account. I've opened a new one, and as I don't spend much time blogging here or anywhere anymore, I am endeavouring to re-contact anyone from here that I was mutually following. I can't quite remember everyone, so I've been having some discreet rummaging as I put together a list of suspects to follow. If you get a follow from me, and it's not you, feel free to ignore. If it is you, ditto. No problem. My new a/c has a Rob in it, no C, some esoteric tags and a picture of the sky through the arches of Glastonbury Abbey on it, so you'll know it's me, not some spamdroid.

Explosions In The Sky – The Wilderness
What does it sound like?:
Rather late to the party with this one – I've only recently been introduced to the band, although I know there are plenty of devotees on here.
This is their sixth album, and their first non-soundtrack album since 2011. It's also the first album not produced entirely by the band, and frankly it's one of the most progressive instrumental rock albums I've heard. It's bold, it's experimental, it's ambient, it's joyous and uplifting in some sections, cinematic and symphonic in others. This is a modern, forward-looking album, a curiously beautiful work, veering from the very edge of desolation to a feeling of utter completeness and oneness with the celestial universe.
A very atmospheric and innovative album – this band has a new convert!
What does it all *mean*?
Onr of the best albums I've heard this year – highly recommended. Looking forward to catching them live for the first time on one of the handful of dates they're playing this October.
Goes well with…
If anyone can recommend which other albums from the back catalogue to check out, please fire away.

Anna Meredith. New to me, maybe not for some here.
The last track on the current issue of Uncut's cover disc is one by Anna Meredith called "Nautilus". In the magazine the best part of a page is devoted to an article about her. 38 years old. London-born but raised in Scotland, composer/performer, former composer-in-residence with the BBC Scottish SO who's been around for a good while now, completely off my radar up till now. She released her electronica album "Varmints" in March. Previously she had released an EP "Black Prince Fury". "Nautilus" is described by one Uncut journo thus "sounds like a symphony played by invading ship horns" while another described it as "a Philip Glass riff repurposed for the mosh pit". John Grant said "Anna's music sounds to me like a very talented and curious child was let loose inside an exhaustive and very large sonic candy store. And then the result was encrusted with gemstones. Very bad for your teeth but great for your ears." I like "Nautilus", but I like this one "R-Type" even more. Like Georgio Moroder for the mosh pit, IMO. By no means all of her music is this raucous, though. She's due to participate in this years "Bowie Prom" for the BBC, » Continue Reading.
"When they go low, we go high"
I think Michelle Obama may have sealed it for Hillary Clinton here. That, and Bernie Sanders unequivocal and dignified endorsement. Her speech was sincere, thoughtful, articulate and delivered in a natural way. If the Obamas follow the Clintion path, there is every chance we will see her living at the White House again.

Farewell Keith Gemmell
A tribute from Trevor Williams of the band Audience says it better than I can.
"Just heard the very sad news that my old Audience colleague and ace saxman, Keith Gemmell, has died at the age of 68.
Keith had been suffering from throat cancer for several years and had been slowly losing the ability to play. Audience's last gig took place at the 100 Club in May 2013 and somehow I knew – and I think he knew – it was his swansong. And he played a blinder! He ALWAYS played a blinder!
I've been fortunate to play alongside some brilliant musicians in my time and while I'm always writing obits as a means of reminding myself and others of the musical achievements of people I didn't always know personally, I don't presently know what to write about someone I knew so well. So I'll do all that later and, for now, simply post Audience's signature tune and one of Keith's most memorable recordings. All I can add is – you should have heard him do this live!!!!"
I did. I never knew anyone else who played a sax through an echo unit. Always a fan of Audience and » Continue Reading.
Help me work out my dream
First off I was in Sicily looking at some impressive ruins before meeting a bunch of lads who I played footie with, scoring a last minute header that bounced in off the bar.
Next thing I know I'm on a bus in London and looking out of the window at the bus stop I see Bryan Ferry sat there with 3 or 4 boxes of Scalextric, at least one of which was a track extension pack.
I haven't a clue, I'm not a Roxy Music fan though I did go to Sicily about 10 years ago and there is an old box of Scalextric in the garage somewhere.
Someone I, and maybe you, never heard of but heard.

WordPress help – Landing Pages needed
It's a classic tech ATM post here. I have to look after our website at work built on WordPress. As part of a recent chat with a proper web designer the importance of having a good-looking and clear landing page was impressed on me. Not a 'sign up for' style landing page, but one which can point the visitor to news, events etc.
The rest of the site was judged ok, so don't want to tear it down and start again, or use a new theme if possible. No current theme doesn't have a landing page function as such.
Can anyone recommend a good landing pages plug-in? Preferably free as we don't have a budget for this kind of stuff, if not then something in the £10/20 range.
The only one I've really liked in trawling through the '5 landing page plugins to supercharge your site' lists is this one – but I'm not 100% convinced by the support, updating etc so alternatives if you use one very welcome.

Tennessee's 'Don't Say Gay' bill to be dropped

Republicans have a problem with something so they cover it up and pretend it doesn't exist. How very typical of them. All the more reason to vote Romney, guys!
Your comment makes no sense. Romney is one of those Republicans. He is a Mormon, ffs. All the more reason to vote to keep Obama in the White House for another four…..
It's called sarcasm. Read about it.
Somebody found their marbles?
THIS is why the average American is so idiotic – the school system! Look at the last paragraph!!!!!!!
Sadly lost in a time warp. They probably still wear bell bottom jeans.
Republicans have completely lost there marbles and have too much time on their hands and obesely have money to pass horrible laws!
I am sick and tired of Conservatives using my and others taxpayers money to fuel hatred on LGBT people, by passing horrible legislation such as the repealed UK section 28, "do not say gay bills" in Tennessee and Missouri, Romania's article 200 (now repealed), Germany's paragraph 175 (now repealed) and now in several regional and city parts of Russia called "homosexual propaganda".
Lithuania as well back in 2009 passed a "homosexual propaganda" law.
One small step for the LGBT of Tennessee. These two haters need to be voted out of office. Although the Tennessee senate is out of touch with their people also.
Unbelievable on all fronts. As for the last paragraph; boy, there's nothing like ignoring scientiific evidence. When I lived in the States a few years ago, the Louisiana legislature discussed teaching Creationism alongside the theories of evolution. Thankfully, it never came to a vote, mostly due strenuous opposition from…wait for it…the Catholic Church (yep. Catholicism holds to evolution. Bet that surprised some readers). I'm not holding my breath for a change of view on same sex marriage, though.
Is the USA going totally bonkers? It seems so

Gives you everything you need in terms of custom posts and fields creation. A "must have" plugin!
This plugin has saved my hours of coding time. It works great! I can't recommend it enough.
Types has now become an essential part of every wordpress site I build.
Hated Visual Composer. Loved Types.
I just found this plugin today. It is an incredible work that has saved me a ton of time for my client. The user interface is great for developers or a semi-savvy client. I have had no issues so far accessing the data from within my own custom plugins or themes either. Great work guys!
I am using Types on a few sites and it is great for creating custom post types and taxonomies. You can add custom fields in groups easily and make them appear conditionally in a number of useful ways. It really comes into its own when combined with their other, paid for plugins: Views, Layouts and CRED.
Toolset has improved my development speed and capability. It has enabled me to do what I could not have done without it. When I have pushed the limits of what I could do with Toolset, their support staff has been exceptional in helping me overcome my challenges. A great tool well supported.
Please, guys, give us possibility to turn off russian localization on settings screen!
Russian localization right now wrong. Men, which made this localization, don't understand WordPress terms at all. I was near to broke my head, when try to use your beautiful plugin with this frightful localization!
This is the best plugin for Custom Post Type and Custom Fields. Great work all team.
This is a awesome plugin.
I like this for made simple custom post-types for my clients.
I've used this plugin on several sites so far and I'm consistently impressed with it. Support and documentation are good too. There are a few things I'd wish for, but this is a fantastic free plugin.

PLYMOUTH, Wis., Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cue the sentimental music and break out the gaudy decorations, 'tis the season for quirky holiday pastimes.
"Let's face it, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanza, embarrassing family traditions are just a part of America's holiday charm," said Clinton Kelly, fashion consultant, and co-host of television's What Not to Wear and The Chew. "But it's important to remember there's still one place where bad taste never belongs: in the kitchen."
That's why Kelly partnered with family-owned Sargento® to stage a holiday "Taste Intervention." Sargento, the manufacturer of natural Sargento Shredded Cheese Varieties, launched an online contest today for families that want to shake up their holidays. The winner will walk away with a $10,000 holiday makeover and a free online consultation with Kelly. One runner up will receive a $250 gift card while 25 others will receive a coupon for a free package of Sargento Shredded Cheese.
To enter, anyone can simply post a cheesy holiday photo with friends or family on the Sargento Facebook page beginning Nov. 19 through Dec.17, 2012. Entrants also must include a brief caption with the photo that explains why their household needs a holiday "Taste Intervention."
"As a family company, we know how important it is to be with loved ones during the holidays," said Drew Carmichael, marketing manager of Sargento Foods Inc. "The Sargento 'Taste Intervention' contest isn't about doing away with traditions or starting family feuds. It's all about shaking up the holidays, trying something new in the kitchen and having a few laughs along the way."
According to a new Sargento holiday survey, Kelly isn't the only one in favor of shaking things up this holiday season.
Two in three people who celebrate the holidays said they favor changing some or all traditions. Forty percent would like to give their decor a makeover as 45 percent reported they see the same, tired decorations year after year. Meanwhile, 36 percent would like to change up boring holiday recipes.
The Sargento holiday survey was conducted by global insights firm Kelton, which polled 1,000 American adults online.
Holiday chefs can also check out these festive recipes online that feature Sargento shredded cheeses. Visitors can browse dozens of holiday dishes, including a new approach to bread pudding, featuring Sargento Traditional Cut Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese, or baked penne topped with Sargento Artisan Blends® Shredded Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese. Kelly's Green Bean Casserole with Caramelized Onions and Puff Pastry offers a unique take on the standard dish.
For those looking for something new from Sargento, the Chef Blends™ line, which includes Shredded 4 Cheese Pizzeria and Shredded 4 State Cheddar®, combines several cheeses for a unique flavor and is perfect for chef-inspired meals at home. Also available in multiple varieties are the Sargento Off the Block Traditional and Fine Cut, Artisan Blends, and Reduced Fat cheeses.

WGN Radio is reporting that Kosuke Fukudome has a sebaceous cyst on his forehead which is causing some swelling in his right eyelid and thus, some vision problems. However, according to WGN's Cory Provus, Fukudome is on medication and is expected to return to the lineup on Monday.
In the meantime, Matt Murton gets to hit against Zach Duke, vs. whom he has had considerable success (10-for-22 with two doubles, a homer, 3RBI).
Regarding the game at hand, can't we just play the Pirates forever? The Cubs go for the sweep against Pittsburgh and try to improve theirseason record against the Bucs to 6-0 this afternoon at Wrigley.
Ryan Dempster has been generally terrific in his three starts, allowing just 9 hits in 19 IP. Good thing, too: with the struggles of Lilly and Hill, the Cub bullpen has thrown more innings so far this season that any other NL relief corps besides the Marlins'.

Re: Game 18 Thread / Pirates @ Cubs (3 of 3)
I swear to Cey, I showed up to actually, you know, help, and was making the game thread when I saw yours get created.
But yours is much prettier. :)
Go Redheads!
Re: Game 18 Thread / Pirates @ Cubs (3 of 3)
Indeed, it is the best use of the word "sebaceous" I have seen in the last week.
Re: sebaceous
Sebaceous is Japanese for "gross!!"
Re: Game 18 Thread / Pirates @ Cubs (3 of 3)
Does anybody else think that Soto belongs in the 5th spot yet? I think he offers decent protection and putting Fuku in the second spot would be great.
Re: Game 18 Thread / Pirates @ Cubs (3 of 3)
A Murton sighting!!!!
I have stolen the technology from the TLFC super computer, and have created the MMFC super computer.
And it has predicted a 2-4, 1 2b, 1 rbi, 1 run game for Big Red.
Yes. That is right. A double.
super computer needs an oil change...
1 for 6 with 2 rbi and 5 left on.
probably mis-placed as the 5 hitter.
let's see what lou says.
Re: super computer needs an oil change...
probably mis-placed as the 5 hitter.
Amazing what you can tell from one game.
But I don't really disagree with you. Murton really isn't a #5 hitter, but today's game doesn't tell us that.
Re: super computer needs an oil change...
Murton owned Duke before today so probably why he was batting 5th...
nonetheless, wtf is with his swing?
moved due to bad comedy
moved due to bad comedy
Re: Murton's swing
He's been taking batting lessons from Juan Pierre. They've become close since Pierre left Chicago.
Re:nonetheless, wtf is with his swing?
Try his swing out for yourself sometime. All will be clear what's wrong.
Spread your legs as far apart as you can. Then swing without moving them and you too will be able to hit groundballs to all parts of the infield.
Works about the same for golf as well.
Re: Game 18 Thread / Pirates @ Cubs (3 of 3)
I do like Fuku in the #2 slot, followed by Lee, ARam, and DeRosa/Soto, but probably DeRosa in the 5th with Soto 6th.
Re: Game 18 Thread / Pirates @ Cubs (3 of 3)
The Messmers really can sing...
Now why are there only two people in parachat?
Re: Game 18 Thread / Pirates @ Cubs (3 of 3)
That's ideal Jordan. I like the way that the lineup has great opportunities to roll over and reset almost like an AL lineup. Having that speed at the bottom, albeit sometimes coming with low OBP, is great with decent hitting pitchers. Do you guys think that the Reed Johnson lead-off stuff is gonna work for long?
Re: Game 18 Thread / Pirates @ Cubs (3 of 3)
No. His K:BB ratio is not so great in his career, even in 2006 when he put up good offensive numbers. His OBP will only remain decent if he continues to hit for a high average. Then again, who do we have who would make a good leadoff hitter? Theriot when he's at his best is good at the top, but he is terrible when he slumps. How long before we call up McLouth from AAAA?
New Outfield
Anybody else notice that with the Fukudome scratching, the outfield today is completely different than what we imagined at the beginning of the year- Murton, Johnson and DeRosa are no Soriano, Pie and Fukudome (billed as the best defensive outfields we've had in a long time).
Still, the team's playing well, as we're pounding the ball against a solid pitcher yet again.
I'm not quite sure what I'm trying to say, but I thought our outfield today should be noted.

Re: Game 18 Thread / Pirates @ Cubs (3 of 3)
Wow This team hasn't looked this good offensively a LONG time maybe never? Yes keep reminding ourselves its against the Pirates :) 12-4 bottom 6.
Re: Game 18 Thread / Pirates @ Cubs (3 of 3)
Yes, the club is hitting - but the Pirates have a porous defense right now, with gloves that don't catch and arms that are bent sideways (at least from what we've seen so far). Great performance, but let's see how they do vs. the Mets.

Pounding teams we should be pounding. Winning the close games. Overcoming injuries.
I like this team.

In a year or two, a lot of fans are going to point at trading him as a mistake. He'll probably be slashing something like 280/400/480 for Seattle at the time. Of course, by WAR, he'll still be worth less than 3, since we're talking zero defensive value.
vogelbomb debut for tacoma (AAA SEA)... 3-3, 1bb, 1 HR, 1 double...DH'd.
while he mostly played 1st considerably more than DH for AAA CHC, DJ Peterson is probably going to see most of the time at 1st for AAA SEA.
Carl Jr.! Very nice!
Baez with another "WTF?" play trying a delayed steal with a runner on 3rd and one out.. Remarkable talent, needs to make better decisions.
m.montgomery up in the pen with a man on 2nd, 2 out, and rondon 20 pitches into the inning.
...and rondon ends it 22 pitches in with a popout to RF.
I gotta say with the crappy defense the Brewers have displayed outside of Fowler I'm pretty disappointed the offense hasn't shown more and Rizzo seems to be very swing happy lately. That said my god am I happy Madden has finally given Carl Edwards a chance after multiple times up with nothing. I don't think he could handle a starting role with his body frame but his stuff plays so well in a relief role and he seems to be able to handle high stress situations very well.
2nd at bat. Fowler is good for the Cubs run differential.
welcome back fowler.
More slow news...
Did Davey Martinez have to bring the shotgun?
glad to see almora going to AAA to get work.
.265/.291/.422 through 86PA...2hr, 7 doubles.
i don't expect too much of an improvement when he's taking over CF next year, but the team doesn't really need him right now as much as they need him to get regular work (imo).
CHITOWNMVP01: The Cubs MLB Reserve List (40-man roster) has had one slot open since 7/6 (when RHRP Joel Peralta was Designated for Assignment).
The problem with the September roster is all of the pitching changes. They should find a way to limit pitchers to twelve except for extra inning games. More pinch hitters or pinch runners do little to slow the game down and are more fun than endless calls to the bullpen. I also think the fans get cheated when they use position players to pitch because employed a half dozen pitchers with righty-lefty switches. Having as few as four positions players on the bench to start a game also leads to some pretty ugly defensive substitutions.
CHITOWNMVP01: Joe Nathan's 30-day Article XIX-C minor league rehab assignment expires tomorrow, but he doesn't have to be reinstated from the 60-day DL tomorrow.
Also, I think 40 man roster should be full, not at 39, unless I counted wrong. I'm in a hurry to leave the house.
Dexter Fowler is back! "You go, we go!"
He's being activated for tonight's game. Almora down and Montgomery replaces Patton.
Also, doesn't Nathan have to be activated tomorrow? Pitchers aren't allowed to spend more than 30 days of rehab and he was sent to rehab assignment on June 23rd. Tomorrow is July 23rd.
Yeah, last night was a bummer. I clicked on the espn Gamecast just in time to see the 5-2 score change to 5-5.
Their next 10 are Dodgers, Mets and Marlins.
