Attack of the Soler Powered Headlines
Well, he passes the eyeball test with flying colors. Entering the ballpark in the top of the first you know something new has been added to the home team as soon as you fix on the leggy right fielder. Clear from the mezzanine behind home plate you can't help but notice that pair of long, thick Cuban stogies as he lopes under the game's first out.
The lineup now has some real heart to it, what with serial sluggers hitting third, fourth and fifth.
Baez fanned meekly to end the 1st. Bryant reached on an error leading off the 2nd and swiped a base (two in effect since the surprised, belated throw ended up in the outfield and advanced Bryant to 3rd) while all attentions were on the new kid in town hitting behind him. Soler had to be anxious but he never swung before walking on a pitch that nearly beaned him. Next time up, though, he followed Bryant's single with one of his own, guided right back up the middle on the first pitch he saw. Then later he would accept another base on balls when he passed on a close 3-2 pitch. He appears to have what used to be known as "a good eye" before it was euphemized into "command of the zone."
By their third turns Baez must have been chomping to reclaim some spotlight. So he launched an OMG moonshot over and out of the playing premises into the leftfield parking lot. There was some wind behind the blast but still it was something to behold. Maybe a better barometer of his prodigious power was the double he swatted on Wednesday afternoon when he took an outside pitch off the base of the wall in center, sans breeze. The crack of the bat registered somewhere between a literally cracked bat and the thunderous boom of last night's homer. It was kind of a brittle sound like the taking of a small bite; the peep of a popup. And it went off the base of the wall in dead center.
Suddenly the club that's been trailing the PCL in hitting most of the summer looks the most dangerous on paper. Don't forget that Mike (all or nothing at all) Olt has also been stirred into the mix. Last night he laced a bases-loaded, bases-clearing double and got to soak up some cheers from a nice-sized crowd for the first time in what must have felt like a mighty long time. And in another at-bat he bounced a, wait for it…single (gasp)! He also botched a play defensively at first base but that hardly matters.
It was a good night at the ballpark quite apart from all of those goings-on. The breeze felt refreshing and carried an almost narcotic aroma mixed from grilling sausage and popping popcorn. If you listened close you could hear the pwoosh of beer vendors popping open their merchandise. By the middle innings when the sun was calling it a day the field and sky looked through naked eyes the way they do through sunglasses at midday. It was one of those nights when I fell into trances between innings. Except when the t-shirt bazooka fired a round straight at me. I caught it, banded up like a cowboy's bedroll. I figured it was probably something from a realtor or insurance agent; probably in a medium or a large so I didn't even bother to unroll it until I got home. It was fun just to be one of the few among nearly 10,000 to actually win something for free! The fact that it turned out to be a genuine I-Cub t-shirt, size XXL, made it almost hard to fall asleep, even way past regular lights-out; even sporting that brand new pajama top. But I managed, with visions of back-to-back-to-back soaring in my head.

While this look is not predictive when looking at the Cubs and each team that met this criterion had its own unique competitive cycle, it indicates that the majority of teams in a similar situation to the Cubs have gone on to periods of success, most of them quickly
Definitely a first in my
Definitely a first in my lifetime, this minor league thing.
I remember reading the Sporting News long ago and every year looking to see how their ONE good prospect was doing. Then he'd come up to the majors, back in the day when there was no Internet, and you'd see a huge hitch in his swing, ala Pat Bourque. No warnings from forum posters, nothing. Just this awful hitch, and you knew, right then, that the guy you'd been watching in the minor league stats sheets was going to bomb badly.
Today, the Cubs almost have too many prospects - not that there really can be such a thing. But it won't be long until we see the team competitive and then some prospects like Villanueva and Vogelbomb get traded for a veteran pitcher, and they'll go on to great things. It's probably inevitable that a lower level prospect or two gets traded and TheoCorp will take some heat for it, but it's also unavoidable because they will eventually have to package some for starting pitching. I see this as a good thing.
Look at the list, http:/

More talent in that group of 20 than all of the Hendry years combined. The really sad part is when Hendry left, Brett Jackson and Josh Vitters were the crown jewel of his farm system.
I think we can finally see what it means to invest in scouts, have a GM that knows how to evaluate talent, and have the coaches in place to work with talent. All of that was missing under Hendry, and Theo has done a damn fine job so far into making it a real minor league system. Instead of just a couple jokes (Jackson and Vitters) and a whole lot of nothing behind it.
Kind of the lost in the shuffle are guys like Schwarber, and McKinney who I think could be just as good as the names we all know.
I agree with you about the
I agree with you about the unprecedented depth of the talent pool today, but let's not forget that Wilken also drafted Donaldson, Cashner, Samardzija, Baez and Vogelbach, while Fleita's side of the house signed Castro and Alcantara.
It might be interesting to contrast Alcantara and Corey Patterson, smallish prospects with similar toolsets that included speed, power and defensive ability. I might give Alcantara a slight edge in toolsiness for his infield skills and for hitting from both sides of the plate. Patterson was a big deal when he was rising in the minors, where Alcantara was mostly under the radar until this year, and he is still excluded from groupings like the Core Four and the Fab Five. The bar has obviously been set much higher in the Epstein era.
[Rob, I haven't been able to log in fully to TCR for several days, at least using Chrome. This morning I thwarted your attempt to silence me by switching to IE!]
Good points all VaPhil! I'd
Good points all VaPhil! I'd point out that Alcantara had a lot more success in AAA than Patterson did.
Still can't believe how they rushed him through..seemed like Patterson could've used a full season at AAA.
Oh well...
Patterson doesn't have
Patterson doesn't have Daytona on his resume, either. It's tough down there in the FSL--ask Almora and Schwarber. Trying to read Hendry's mind, here's what I get: Patterson is heading to the majors anyway, so why make him slow down at speed bumps?
Well, maybe Schwarber stopped scuffling last night, we'll see, but that was the point of sending him to Daytona when he was barely out of Indiana U. Hoyer on Baez earlier this year:
He's in a big slump. He'll have to figure his way out of it. He'll be stronger for having gone through this.
Exactly. why skip a step on
Exactly. why skip a step on the development process? It wasn't like Patterson destroyed AA and AAA.
eh...hindsight and all I suppose...but I know there were those that questioned his readiness to leave AAA so quickly.
Pat Bourque. There's a name
Pat Bourque. There's a name from the past that gives me the heebie jeebies. How about another like Gene Hiser (Cubs' 1st round pick in 1970)? They REALLY didn't know how to draft and develop position players back then.
To compound that, they made a
To compound that, they made a bunch of bad trades in the '70s. In some cases, they gave up young talent for older players.
November 2, 1972: Billy North to A's for Bob Locker. North, 24 at the time of the trade, became the starting center fielder for the A's, who won the world series in each of the first two years after the trade. Locker, 34 at the time of the trade, had a good year for the Cubs in 1973, going 10-6, with 18 saves and a 2.54 ERA over 106 innings pitched, and was then involved in two subsequent Cubs-A's trades (i) November 3, 1973, traded by the Cubs to the A's for Horacio Pina and (ii) October 23, 1974, traded by the A's with Darold Knowles and Manny Trillo to the Cubs for Billy Williams. Locker did not pitch in 1974 and posted a 4.96 ERA for the Cubs in 1975 before getting released in June of that year.
May 2, 1975: Burt Hooton to Dodgers for Geoff Zahn and Eddie Solomon. Solomon pitched 6-2/3 innings for the Cubs in 1975, and was traded prior to the start of the 1976 season to the Cardinals for Ken Crosby, who posted an ERA of 8.41 over parts of two seasons for the Cubs. Zahn pitched 62-2/3 innings over the rest of 1975 for the Cubs, with a record of 2-7 and an ERA of 4.45, then got hurt the following year. The Cubs released Zahn in January 1977. Hooton, 25 at the time of the trade, went 18-7 for the Dodgers over the rest of 1975, and was a mainstay of the Dodger rotation for the next 6 years, winning 70 games over such period, finishing second in NL Cy Young voting in 1978 and pitching in three world series.
May 17, 1976: Andre Thornton to the Montreal Expos for Steve Renko and Larry Biittner. At the time of the trade, Thornton was 26, Renko 32 and Biitner 30. Biitner's career OPS+ was 88. Renko went 8-11 for the Cubs in 1976 with an ERA of 3.86. Renko was traded in August 1977 to the White Sox for Larry Anderson and cash. Thornton had a career OPS+ of 122 and hit over 200 home runs in the ten plus years he spent in the majors after leaving the Cubs.
February 11, 1977: Bill Madlock and Rob Sperring to Giants for Bobby Murcer, Andy Muhlstock (minors) and Steve Ontiveros. At the time of the trade, Madlock was 25 and had just won his second consecutive batting title (in three full major league seasons), with OPS+ numbers of 123, 141 and 150 during his 3 years with the Cubs. Madlock played 11 more years, finishing with a career batting average of .305 and a career OPS+ of 123 and winning two additional batting titles in 1981 and 1983. Murcer was 30 at the time of the trade and his latest three seasons (at the time of the trade) in terms of OPS+ were 107, 127 and 123. Murcer played 2 full years for the Cubs, going 27HR 89RBI .265 in 1977 and 9HR 64RBI .281 in 1978. Murcer was traded to the Yankees in June 1979 for Paul Semall, a minor leaguer. Ontiveros, 25 at the time of the trade, became the Cubs' starting 3rd baseman and had a decent year in 1977, hitting 10HR 68RBI .299 with an OPS+ of 109. He fell off significantly after that and cut by the Cubs in 1980. His career OPS+ was 95 and he was below that number in each of his last three years with the Cubs. He may have been injured for the better part of 1978 and 1980.

Only Hair Line Creations benefited with the arrival of Steve Ontiveros.
I believe the Madlock trade
I believe the Madlock trade was related to salary demands and some discrimination on the part of PK Wrigley who died in April 1977 only 2 months after the Madlock trade. PK wasn't used to feisty players like Madlock (think Billy Williams and Ernie Banks). To add to the context, this was still fresh on the heels of the Curt Flood reserve clause challenges (1971) and the Seitz decision (Dec 1975). Finally, there was the new 1976 MLBPA agreement permitting free agency after 6 years of service.
Personally, I was always dumbfounded by that trade, as Murcer was the embodiment of the failed hype as the next Mickey Mantle with warning track power (and the aggressiveness of a sea slug. Also known for his locker room rocking chair.
and the Cubs, who had found their replacement for Ron Santo would once again continue that search until ARam (excluding a brief visit by Ron Cey).
and although I hate citing BCB, here is their writeup on Madlock:
Old Phil Wrigley stated his case succinctly in 1977, when the Cubs decided to trade Madlock to San Fransisco, saying, "When these players are impossible to deal with, I'd rather let somebody else have them."
I think Wrigley was just
I think Wrigley was just pissed that Madlock put the nail in the coffin of the Carmen Fanzone era.

BP writeup on 3 of the Cub
BP writeup on 3 of the Cub farmhands not in the core:
Marco Hernandez, SS, Cubs (High-A Daytona)
There is no system in baseball with more shortstop depth than the Cubs', which is unfortunate for Marco Hernandez, who is as blocked as any minor leaguer in the game. Hernandez will never be Chicago's starting shortstop, but he probably won't be anyone else's starting shortstop either because he doesn't profile to have any impact with the bat. He's a slap hitter from the left side who makes no effort to drive the ball, understanding his role as a speed-based player. He puts the ball on the ground repeatedly but he will never have better than an average hit tool with no power. Where Hernandez makes his name is in the field. He's a plus-plus shortstop who can be a true asset both with his glove and his arm. Smooth and fluid on routine ground balls, he also features plus range to either side and natural creativity on tough plays, regularly flipping the ball behind his back or between his legs on double play turns when necessary. Hernandez won't hit enough to play regularly on a good team and is about the fifth best option for the Cubs at the position, but his glove should be enough to carry him to the majors and allow him to carve out a Freddy Galvis–like role. —Jeff Moore
Duane Underwood, RHP, Cubs
Duane Underwood, RHP, Cubs (Low-A Kane County)
Underwood works with a simple step-back delivery and a 3/4 arm slot. The arm whip is fast and crisp, though he does create an inverted W with his upper body. Underwood worked in the 92-95 mph range with his fastball. It had two-seam action lower in the velocity band, but he had trouble locating it all night. The curveball had some sharp bite beneath the strike zone but he was unable to locate it effectively for strikes. Underwood showed a few changeups, including a few backdoor changes that flashed plus fade, but overall it looked like a show-me pitch that will require work. The raw ingredients are there for Underwood to succeed but he's going to have to work on fastball command first and foremost; everything else will play up if he can locate his fastball effectively. The curve command will have to come along as well, as he will have to learn how to throw the pitch for effective strikes. At present, it's just a chase pitch and the higher levels will lay off. Underwood is intriguing, but he'll need refinement. —Mauricio Rubio
Shawon Dunston, OF, Cubs (Low
Shawon Dunston, OF, Cubs (Low-A Kane County)
An 11th-round pick in the 2011 draft, Dunston was clearly selected to be a slow burn. His first couple of seasons brought moderate success in short-season ball, but the jump to full-season wasn't so kind. He'd been playing sporadically and didn't look comfortable at the plate, finding it hard to get in a groove. After the All Star break, however, especially in the wake of Jacob Hannemann's promotion to Daytona, Dunston has found himself getting everyday reps and the results have followed. In July, he's hitting .410/.426/.525, and it hasn't just been BABIP luck: In the last two games, Dunston has stung the ball five or six times. As the son of a major leaguer, it's no surprise that Dunston is a good athlete, running times around 4.2 seconds to first. He doesn't feature his father's 80 arm; it's average or a tick below. Overall, Dunston does not have an impact profile, but he has put himself firmly on the prospect radar. Even though there isn't much power potential, as the hit tool manifests, there's the possibility he becomes a solid extra outfielder. —Jordan Gorosh
I went to see Kane County
I went to see Kane County yesterday. For those of you in the Chicago area, I recommend the experience. The ballpark is a nice modern facility and it is a nice family atmosphere.
Skulina started and was relieved by Concepcion. Each gave up a solo homer and the Cougars lost 2-1 to West Michigan, a Tigers affiliate. Skulina pitched decently, with 7K and 1 BB in 7 IP; his fastball seemed to top out at 91-92.
Dunston hit 3 balls pretty hard and had two nice singles. The rest of the team only had 2 hits, a double by Candelario (which frankly should have been a single if the outfielder could throw) and a double by Penalver. The starting lineup: Dunston lf, Pelalver ss, Candelario 3b, Rogers 1b, Brockmeyer c, Brown dh, Young 2b, Baez rf, Martin cf.
If Dunston is a corner outfielder, he will need to develop some power.

I was just reading the same thing - and I actually agree with the cubs. If they are gonna start pushing forward next year those two guys are my choice to hang around because 1.) they are outfielders a which we'll need, and 2.) they've been through the ups and downs of success and failure personally - especially Caghlan which is a nice perspective to have with a lot of kids coming up.
Obviously if it's a decent prospect you trade them, but they are good guys to have around and young enough too.

FOX Sports @MLBONFOX
Chris Sale was scratched from tonight's scheduled start due to a clubhouse incident before the game
he was sent home by the team, too. the wsox released a press statement and everything. they stated it was non-physical in nature.
He was scratched from his start today. No reason given.
At the start of the season the book was that he was trying to pitch to more contact so he could stay in the game longer and it seems to be working so far. Contact against is 77.5% this year and it was 70.2% the year before. He averaged 6.7 IP/game last year and so far it's 7 IP/game. His actual pitches per game are only down to 106.1/game from 107.2/game last year but if he's able to go a bit farther into games without throwing more pitches and without giving up more runs that is a good thing.
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.

Product Description
From Amazon
Opening a Jane Smiley novel is like slipping into a warm bath. Here are people we know, places where we grew up. But the comforting, unassuming tone of her work allows Smiley incredible latitude as a writer, and her books are full of surprises. Good Faith, a novel about greed and self-delusion set in the economic boom of the early 1980s, is no exception. Joe Stratford is an amiable, divorced real estate agent in an unspoiled small town called Rollins Hills. He takes it in stride when a married female friend pursues a love affair with him; he is more suspicious when a high-rolling newcomer named Marcus Burns begins to influence the business affairs of the men closest to Joe. Nevertheless, the promise of easy riches draws Joe into one of Burns's real estate development schemes, and then, ominously, into gold trading. The steps by which a nice guy can be lured into betraying his principles are delineated so sharply in Good Faith that you wonder how Joe cannot see them. Although he never quite manages to understand what has happened to him, he's granted a moment of grace at the close of the novel, a second chance that has nothing to do with money, ambition, or the tarnished American Dream. Since we live with the legacy of the self-serving 1980s, Smiley's novel seems as timely as if it were set in the present. Penetrating, readable fiction by one of our best writers and social critics. --Regina Marler --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
Smiley's range as a writer is always surprising. Eschewing both the tragic dimension of A Thousand Acres and the satiric glee of Moo, her 12th book is a clever and entertaining cautionary tale about America's greedy decade of the 1980s. Narrator Joe Stratford is a genial, well-liked realtor in a small New England town who's respected for his honesty; even his divorce was friendly. When smooth-talking Marcus Burns comes to town, fresh from a decade working at the IRS, where he's learned how to manipulate the law to avoid paying taxes, he convinces Joe and other decent but nave people that it's never been easier to get rich quick. Marcus envisions a multi-use golf club and housing development. With the help of the conniving president of the local S&L, he easily finds money to purchase Salt Key Farm, a beautiful estate on 580 acres. The reader knows that the bubble will burst, but not how or when; frissons of suspense keep building as Smiley describes the fine points of land assessment, soil evaluation, loan applications and permit hearings in surprisingly riveting detail. Joe's personal life, too, is a tightrope walk. He's having an affair with a married woman, Felicity Baldwin, the daughter of his mentor, Gordon. When that cools, he takes up with another woman who seems perfect, but who turns out to be as devious as Marcus. What makes the story beguiling is Smiley's appreciation of the varieties and frailties of human nature. Every character here is fresh and fully dimensional, and anybody who lived through the '80s will recognize them-and maybe themselves.

It seemed like she got the details right, and Joe, her flat, dull, straightforward hero, was to me at her most engaging when he talked about the random sales he was making at the beginning of the book. My two largest problems:
- too talky. The whole thing is dialogue, essentially, and dialogue ultimately about a particular real estate transaction in far too much detail. We're supposed to get the hang of Marcus (the interloping deal-crazy source of action) and Joe through their talk, but it's just talk, no distinctive voices, no distinctive observations, long paragraphs, etc. The exception here is Felicity, the temptress, but her sing-songy weirdness was, though distinctive, not very plausible. Or alluring.
- too flat. Exhibit A here is all the attention given to food. The food's always boring. It's burgers and fries and other sandwiches and potato chips. And yet people are always going to eat, where they can have long, long conversations over uninteresting, uninterestingly described food, which nonetheless earns pages of copy.
So in the end, I stopped caring. I did finish the book, and good on Jane Smiley for putting me in a world, and engaging difficult issues, but this book should have been more written. And shorter.
Three stars, though, only because I hold her to very high standards. You won't feel like someone stole your time if you read this.
I know Joe. Sure, my friend isn't named Joe and isn't a real estate agent, but I know decent people like Joe who have a gift for the largely unrecognized jobs they do and who realize, at some point, that they're doing pretty well financially. In fact, recent polls suggest the vast majority of us, even those who are statistically lower class or in the upper percetages of incomes consider ourselves middle class but still not as well off as our friends. And I know a Marcus, too, who's a smooth-talking, good-natured fellow who inspires loyalty in people for no logical reason. And I know a Felicity or two who married because nearly everyone does but who doesn't quite fit the frat house her homelife seems to be. I know a few Betty and Gordon couples and the Davids as well. So, Smiley's characters have a vague familiarity, even as they each are distinct and engaging.
Even more importantly, Smiley understands the small, odd traits that people find attractive or off-putting in each other. When, for instance, Felicity reveals that she's not kind but that she is affectionate, we understand something about human behavior that we hadn't quite noticed before. Little moments like this one drive the novel seemingly effortlessly.
While I had no knowledge of and little interest in real estate, the characters and the impending demise or success of their business dealings drew me in.Read more ›

There are a number of ways you can use viral and social media to your advantage these days, no matter what your company is like. Whether you're in the business of selling something typical, like pencils or umbrellas, sandwiches or socks – or something unusual, like Halloween costume. We recommend using the Birmingham based fresh frog marketing team for all of your SEO & web design needs.
Everyone needs things – food, shelter, pleasures such as entertainment. It's up to you, the marketer, to figure out what people need, and to figure out how to make them want it. This ability to inspire the desire for things in people is, in some ways, the marketer's secret superpower. People didn't know that they wanted to eat at McDonald's before McDonald's was invented, and now so many people want to eat at McDonald's that new McDonald's restaurants are opening nearly every day. Similarly, people didn't know they wanted to use their phones to pick up cabs, until Uber came along. It turns out that people want fast food, and they want to pick up cabs with their smart phones.
It's up to you, as a marketer, to let people know what they want. This is why it's important, first and foremost, to believe in your product. If you think your product isn't that important, or won't help people that much, you probably won't be able to think of a good marketing campaign – it will feel like lying. That is why some of the most memorable marketing campaigns have actually arisen for causes that might not seem profitable, but which people believe in intensely. For example, many anti-smoking advertising campaigns are very powerful, leading many people to quit or to consider quitting smoking cigarettes.
Once you know that your product is something people need, it's worth trying to convey that fact to them. There are obviously a number of ways to do that, but one of the easiest is through social media. People are on social media so much these days, with websites like Facebook and Twitter being a very common way for people to stay in touch with each other and so forth. Getting in there is like getting a TV advertisement into someone's home – it's a way to make your product seem intimate and personal.
Creating promotions that encourage people following your store or company on social media is a very common and useful way to get people thinking about and purchasing your product. For example, if you give people a discount for following your restaurant on Facebook, that's a great way to automatically secure some excellent press and to make sure that people are aware of all the promotions you may do in the future. In addition, social media is a great way to make your product seem more inviting – people love funny and excellent social media marketing campaigns.
In short, there are a lot of ways to market your goods or services to people. The sky's the limit!

March 15, 2012
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The University of San Diego men's baseball team put on a hitting clinic Thursday afternoon at Cunningham Stadium, upending Columbia 14-5 in the first game of the four-game series.
San Diego (15-5) put together 19 hits and every Torero who came to the plate scored in their ninth win in the last 11 games. The Toreros were paced offensively by Louie Lechich, who went 3-for-5 with 3 RBI and 2 runs scored, while Kris Bryant went 2-for-3 with three runs scored and one RBI. Freshman Connor Joe sent a homerun over the left field fence in the fifth inning, finishing 2-for-4 with one run scored and one RBI. Dillon Haupt also added 4 RBI.
Columbia (2-9) struck first blood in the top of the first inning. Jordon Serena walked to lead off the game and stole second, eventually scoring on a fielder's choice to take the 1-0 lead. The Toreros responded in the bottom of the first with three runs of their own to take the 3-1 lead. The Lions tagged on two more runs in the top of the second to even the score at 3-3 on an error and an infield hit.
The game remained tied 3-3 until the bottom of the fifth. Louie Lechich doubled to right center, stole third base and eventually scored on a ground out by Dillon Haupt to take the 4-3 lead. Joe's home run extended the lead to 5-3 before San Diego put the game out of reach in the bottom of the sixth, scoring six runs on five hits.
Toreros starting pitcher Calvin Drummond (4-1) was sharp in his 6.2 innings of work. Drummond allowed five hits and one earned run to go along with five strikeouts.
Lions starting pitcher Pat Lowery (0-3) was saddled with the loss in his five innings of work. He gave up two earned runs on eight hits.
Five other Toreros (Lucas Hagberg, Austin Bailey, Corey LaVier, Andrew Daniel, and Bryan Haar) finished with at least two hits. The Toreros return to action tomorrow at Cunningham Stadium for a doubleheader starting at noon.

After you leave the hospital, make sure to stay in touch with your doctor or other health professionals who can keep track of your progress and health. You will probably keep in close contact with your primary care physician and your cardiologist. Also, be aware of any local rehab programs or support groups.

New German Anti-tank grenade coming soon!
In the upcoming Devyatayev update (named after the Soviet pilot Mikhael Petrovich Devyatayev) we are adding a new thrown Anti-Tank Grenade for the German faction!
The Panzerwurfmine Lang (or PWM for short) is a handheld thrown anti-tank weapon with similar function to the Soviet RPG-43. It enables German infantry to take out enemy tanks without having to run all the way up to them to place a magnetic mine.
Utz Update Detail: Weapon Tweaks
When attacking or defending maps, including of course the NEW Forward Airfield map, you need your weapons to perform! And while we're not introducing any new weapons in this build or making any major changes, we do have a collection of tweaks to make the weapons feel better, and hopefully be more enjoyable to play with!
Vehicles: Would you like to see the options sir?
Tired of sitting in another hero's wornout beater of a car? Tired of smelling the stale cigarette smoke from the fuzzy dice dangling from the rear-view mirror? Tired of having the glovebox stuffed full of chewing gum and nylon stockings when it could contain a useful map, a handgrenade and a bottle of fine cognac? Remember how we teased you with the prospect of exciting new things?
Then continue reading…
Incoming! Panzerschreck
As you might have heard rumours of, a new antitank weapon is making its way from the factories to the fields of battle!
The German panzerschreck!
The Panzerschreck is closer in functionality to the American Bazooka and with new addition we have changed how anti-tank weapons are unlocked.
Half the Battle: Dealing With Tanks
Leeb has been around for more than a week now, and most of you have now experienced the new armor model first hand, most likely from the outside of said armor (i.e. on foot), which can be quite inconvenient when high explosive shells are whooshing in your direction and you don't have a tennis racket to return them to the sender.
New weapon textures
We are constantly working on improving the game, one of the very visible things is when we update the look of weapons and vehicles and this time it was the weapons' turn for a haircut, shave and manicure in the binary beauty parlor. – Reto.Robotron3000

Recent reviews
Good 3.4 /5 from 27 reviews
Stayed for 11 nights, hence had a reasonable feel of the hotel. Firstly, the service lady Maria was very courteous all through the stay and gave all the necessary information needed. This hotel is an ideal choice if you want to stay close to the main station (Dusseldorf HBF ), which is very close by. WIFI is free and it worked without any issues. Be aware that the bathrooms are shared, and they have 1 bath room for each floor, but it was very clean and well maintained. During peak occupancy, there would be issues with bathroom. This is my guess, since the occupancy was not at peak during my stay. My booking included 5 euro breakfast on week days, and free breakfast during weekends. But I was told that since kitchen was being repaired there would be no breakfast. But if that was the case then he hotel should have refunded atleast some amount to me since I stayed 2 weekends i.e. 4 weekend days where in breakfast was supposed to be free of cost. There is a Chinese restaurant right across the street, which is a bit expensive, but the food is tasty. Overall, the stay was smooth with no big issues.
small and basic but that was all I needed. Close to train station and a nice leisurely walk to centre of town. Was greeted warmly and couterously, would happily stay again.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - The Owl tandem of Gabriela Iribarne and Holly Hargreavesscored goals early in the first half to lift the visiting Rice soccer team to an eventual 3-0 Conference USA road win at Southern Miss Saturday afternoon at the USM Soccer Complex in Hattiesburg, Miss.
It did not take long for the Owls to get offensive. Rice quickly had four of the game's first five shots, and in just the 15th minute of the contest sophomore forward Lauren Hughes had the ball wide on left side looking to get the Blue & Gray on the scoreboard. As Hughes drew the full attention of the USM defenders she instead centered the ball back to Iribarne, who needed only a quick touch with her left foot to get a shot and a goal for a 1-0 Rice lead.
"One of the things we tell our forwards is 'if you can't score, then get the ball to someone who can,' and Lauren made a great, unselfish play to get the ball to Gabi for that first goal," said Rice head coach Nicky Adams. "That was big for us to get an early goal. We never looked back.
"We played pretty well all day," Adams added. "Today we did as good a job of executing out game plan as we've done all year."
The score was Iribarne's fourth of the season, tying her with Hargreaves and Hughes for most goals on the squad. Hargreaves, however, still had something to say about the Owls' goals-leaderboard.
A little more than three minutes later, Rice was awarded a penalty kick after a Southern Miss foul on Hargreaves as she was attempting to shoot from inside the box. Hargreaves stepped-up and converted the PK attempt for a 2-0 Rice advantage. The goal now gave her sole possession of the team lead (with five) and moved her into sixth place on Rice's career goals list with 16 dating back to her freshman season a year ago.
The Owls stretched the margin to 3-0 with the team's final goal of the day in the 84th minute. This time Iribarne was the catalyst, creating a combination play to junior midfielder Quinny Truong. Truong hit her lone shot attempt of the day for her third goal of season.
Rice finished with an 18-12 lead in shots and had more corner kicks, 6-5. Credit Rice goalkeeper Amy Czyzwith keeping the blank slate. The junior from California made a total of five saves, including a stop on a USM penalty kick in the 87th minute to preserve the team's fourth shutout of the season.
Rice improved to 5-5-2 overall and 3-2-0 in conference. Southern Miss is now 6-5-4 on the season and 0-3-2 against the league.
"We have good players," coach Adams said, "we've just needed everyone to play well in the same game. I am happy with how we played, staying focused and executing a game plan, but I think I'm even happier about how we came together today. We showed what we're capable of when we play for each other.
"Getting a conference road win is very important, especially if it's your only chance to play that week. We'll have two big games next week."
The rare Saturday match is the Owls' only action of the weekend. Rice next plays a critical C-USA match at home against league-leader Colorado College on Friday (Oct. 18). Start time at Rice's Holloway Field is set for 7 pm.

text: Intel & will.i.am The multi-platinum artist and producer, responsible for such classics as Boom Boom Pow, has teamed up with Intel to boost the chip maker's consumer story. Intel says that it will collaborate with the Black Eyed Peas star on devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones, and that will.i.am will provide new music for the tech bellwether. "Nearly everything I do involves processors and computers, and when I see an Intel chip I think of all the creative minds involved that help amplify my own creativity," said will.i.am, in a statement released last week. "Teaming up with the scientists, researchers and computer programmers at Intel to collaborate and co-develop new ways to communicate, create, inform and entertain is going to be amazing." Specific details of the relationship have not been released, but Intel has described the deal as the marrying of two worlds -- entertainment and technology. "It's imperative that Intel and our innovations are kept in front of the global youth culture," said Deborah Conrad, Intel's chief marketing officer. Prev 1 of 6 Next

Release Date:
May 14, 1996
After the lackluster performance of Adrenalize, Def Leppard realized it was time to abandon their trademark wall-of-guitars sound. Jettisoning producer Mutt Lange -- who, admittedly, was busy producing his wife, country singer Shania Twain -- the group stripped its sound to the basics for Slang. There are very few layers-of-guitar effects on the album, just straight, crunching chords. Most notably, Rick Allen has returned to playing acoustic drums after playing an electronic kit for nearly a decade. The change in approach is apparent and welcome -- Def Leppard hasn't sounded so immediate since Pyromania. Furthermore, they decided to expand their musical vocabulary slightly, working elements of RB and funk into the rhythms. Not all of the experiments work, but Def Leppard sound revitalized, particularly when they attack a straightforward rocker. Slang would have been even better if they had come up with a set of hooks that sounded as alive as their performance, but the album is a much-needed return to form for the group.

I understand how to prevent replay attacks - your API user sends the current timestamp along with the API request. When I get the request on my server, I check the timestamp...if it's too old, throw away the request.
This works great if I'm using cURL on my web server or something to post to the API, because I can rely on the server time. How does this work if I want to post to the API directly from JS, though? I can't rely on the client time and I don't want to have to send the server time down from PHP and store it in JS.
Assume this is all over SSL. Thanks!

Last name origin & meaning:
Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Slovak,
Hungarian (Baltazár), etc. It is derived from the Biblical
personal names Balthazar and Belshazzar, which were
originally distinct but by medieval times had come to be regarded as
variants of a single name. The first is from Aramaic
Balshatzar, Babylonian Baal tas-assar 'may Baal preserve
his life', the second from Babylonian Baal shar-uzzur 'may Baal
protect the king'. The latter was borne by the Chaldean king for whom
Daniel interpreted the writing on the wall (Daniel 5); the main reason
for the popularity of the first in medieval Italy and Germany was
that, according to legend, it was the name of one of the three Magi
from the East who attended Christ's birth. His supposed relics were
venerated at first in Milan, but after 1164 in Cologne, where they had
been taken by Rainald of Dassel.
