Certain establishments just feel like the town, city, or neighborhood in which they are located. Founding Fathers feels like Buffalo. The Old Pink feels like Allentown. And Otto's Restaurant & Bar feels like Cheektowaga.
Don't take that the wrong way – I'm being totally positive. Cheektowaga and Depew are often the butt of jokes, and that's too bad, since like just about every local community, they are unique, historic and welcoming to locals.
Otto's, located at the uber-busy intersection of Union Road and George Urban Boulevard, is welcoming to the 10th power. It's the opposite of some other bars that greet you with a hard stare and discontented sneer.
It's simple and comfortable, a modest place with a good-natured vibe. Sometimes that's exactly what you're looking for, especially since the Galleria Mall area is surrounded with gaudy chain businesses.
My friend and I visited on a weekday afternoon when we both were off from work, since I'd heard Otto's offered some happy hour deals. And while we entered to a completely empty bar — seriously! — by the time we left, the after-work crowd was streaming in.
There's a surprising amount of dead space in the pub area, with stools around the wooden bar, a pool table in the middle, and then chairs lined up looking out at the parking lot. (Not the most exceptional view.) But I'd imagine this dead space is welcome on a busy Friday or Saturday night, allowing plenty of room for standing and chatting.
On this day, I was less focused on the crowd, more focused on the deals. We arrived early enough for a pre-happy hour offer — $2 domestics from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (The very pleasant bartender implied that this was only a current offer.) Happy hour is held from 4 to 7 p.m., and features $2.75 domestic drafts. (I noticed a sign heralding $2 pints during Bills games, too.)
Selection-wise, there's nothing special; Otto's is not your craft beer destination. But it has a solid draft selection, one I would call above-average: Sam Adams, Sam Adams Oktoberfest, Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors Light, Molson, Stella Artois, Guinness, Killian's, Yuengling, Labatt Blue and Blue Light.
No alarms and no surprises, as Radiohead would put it.
Gazing around the room, I saw what I expected: Lotto, darts, the pool table. But there were a few unique touches, such as a wee awning over the bar decorated with colored lights, a George Urban Blvd. street sign, some booze swag (a giant Michelob wrist watch, a Smirnoff mirror ball) and some stairs to nowhere. (Well, they probably lead somewhere, but I never asked.)
It's worth noting that my friend and I were the only folks in the bar under the age of, say, 55 for most of our visit; it was mostly bearded men and post-work women, one of whom startled me by ordering a glass of chardonnay. (Later, some younger folks arrived, including an Andrew W.K. look-alike, minus the hard-partying.)
One moment seemed to summarize the Otto's vibe. An older gent sat down and noticed Ricki Lake's new talk show on the TV. "Can you change this?" he sensibly asked. "ESPN … anything."
Yes, that's Otto's. More ESPN than Ricki Lake, more Blue Light than IPA. I can't explain the chardonnay, but it didn't draw any sideways glances except for my own, so consider Otto's a place to order with confidence.

Skill Level Beginner
Now that we've been introduced to the topic of working with keywording in Lightroom, next I want to take a look at how we can speed up our workflow by taking advantage of what are called Keyword Sets. Now, I talked briefly in the previous movie, how we can start to work with Keyword Sets. And I mentioned that we can choose an option here. We can click on this pull-down menu, and we can select a Keyword Set, say for portrait photography. And it will give us a group of keywords or here as we saw in the previous movie, we could use Recent Keywords, which would show us recent keywords which we added to our photographs.
Yet, we can also edit and create our own Keyword Sets. Like with this group of pictures, these are all captured for an ongoing project which I'm doing, which is called salt. And what I want to do is create a Keyword Set which reflects this particular project. And the project is all about people who are connected to the sea and salt water and so, here I want to go ahead and create my own custom Keyword Set. To do that, you can click on this pull-down menu here and then choose Edit Set or you can also navigate to the Metadata pull-down menu.
And here we can choose Keyword Set and then select the option Edit. In either scenario, either by using the pull-down menu here or by working in the panels on the right, this will both give you the ability to edit and create your own Keyword Sets. In this case, you can see we can edit this Set. We have the name Jeff Johnson, Ventura, Train Tracks. I also want to go ahead and type out the word Salt. And I want to type out a few other words as well. Surfer, because it's related to the surfer. Santa Barbara is a good keyword because, many of these photographs are captured in that area. Ocean, sand and one more keyword here for this set, 4 x 5 because I'm capturing these images with a 4 x 5 camera.
Well, now that I've entered in these common keywords that I might find helpful when adding keywords to photographs. Which are captured for this project, what I can do, or what you can do, is save this out as a preset. So, here click on the pull-down menu and choose the option to Save the Current Settings as a New Preset. I'll go ahead and save this out as a preset named Salt and then Project. Next we'll click Create. What this will allow us to do, is to go ahead and use or access these keywords over here. So, here I'll go ahead and click Change to apply that and from this pull-down menu, you'll see that we now have access to these different sets of keywords. One of them is this Salt Project.
So, that if I'm working with this set, what I can do is apply these keywords by simply clicking on the keyword. For example I can click on the word salt to add that to this photograph or to this group of photographs if you select more than one. Or you can also use some really handy keyboard shortcuts. If you're a keyboard shortcut aficionado, what you can do is hold down the Option key on a Mac, or Alt key on Windows. And you'll notice that a number shows up next to these different keywords and this is true regardless of the Keyword Set that you have.
Again, you can see all of those numbers here. Well, what we can then do is we can add these keywords by holding down Option on a Mac, Alt on Windows, and then pressing on the number, which relates the keyword that we want to add. Here I want to add the keyword surfer and also 4 x 5. So, I'll press Option or Alt+5. I'll also press Option or Alt+3. In doing that, you can see how we quickly added those keywords to this particular photograph. And so what you want to do, if you want to speed up your overall keywording workflow, is you want to create a few keywording sets.
And that way you can quickly access and apply those keywords which you use most frequently.

Students with significant disabilities (SWSD) enrolled in grades 3-8 and 11 are required to participate in a statewide assessment for reading and math. With the implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), 99% of Vermont students will now participate in the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) assessment beginning in Spring of 2015. Students, who cannot participate in the general assessment with accommodations, may be eligible to take the Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM), an alternate assessment, beginning in the fall of 2014. The DLM has been adopted by the state of Vermont and will replace the Vermont Alternate Assessment Portfolio (VTAAP) in reading and math. The Science VTAAP will continue to be administered to students in grades 4, 8, and 11 and replaces the Science NECAP assessment each spring.

Spring Summative Window
The DLM Assessment year, for Vermont, will launch on September 8, 2015. On or about that date, you will be able to begin to upload rosters and access the training site. This year, the teacher certification training will happen through a Moodle site. All teachers who were previously enrolled in the Educator portal have had their accounts transferred to Moodle. New teachers should receive their login information from their district test coordinators.
If you have any questions, please contact Linda Moreno at email@example.com or (802) 479-1309.
This PowerPoint provides an introduction to Vermont's two new assessments - Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) and Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) - for teachers, special educators, and other professionals who serve students with special assessment needs. Strategies and information needed to complete assessment participation components of IEPs, 504 plans or EST plans are emphasized.
Presented to the Vermont Family Network by State Testing Director Michael Hock and Alternate Assessment Coordinator Cindy Moran. With the implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in Vermont, many parents of students with disabilities are concerned about the statewide assessment of these standards and how their children will meaningfully participate. Click here to view the webinar. Click here to view the PowerPoint.
The Common Core Essential Elements (CCEE) are specific statements of knowledge and skills that are linked to the grade-level specific expectations in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and specify learning targets for students with significant cognitive disabilities. The Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) consortium developed the Common Core Essential Elements to build a bridge from the content in the Common Core State Standards to expectations for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. It is important for educators who instruct this population of students to get to know and use these Essential Elements for the purposes of program development. IEPs must be linked to these Essential Elements so that students will receive the appropriate instruction in order to meet the criteria for participation in the alternate assessment.

Skip to comments.Portland police will investigate accusations that Al Gore groped woman (Investigation Re-Opened)
Posted on 06/30/2010 5:11:23 PM PDT by Arec Barrwin
click here to read article
Gore did not pay her directly. It was arranged through the hotel. The hotel staff paid her.
No way. From the sound of things he already got off...
Is he still running for President? Just because a president who treated women like wank rags was once POTUS doesn't mean that treating women like wank rags means you'll BECOME POTUS, Al.
New definition for the slang dictionary:
Gorebal Swarming - the act of dry humping an unwilling victim like a crazed sex poodle
Ah, the John Edwards defense. Ask the Breck girl how well that worked for him.
Memorialized in song on YouTube - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2545385/posts
It makes me wonder who Al pissed off among the libersl elites that this would come out now...

Based in Austin, Texas, The Sour Notes consists of members Jared Boulanger (vocals, guitar), Amarah Ulghani (bass), Jessica Kim (piano) & Erin Howell (drums). They are known for experimenting in many different music genres and have shared the stage with such diverse bands as The Dandy Warhols, Of Montreal, Future Islands, We Are Scientists, Marnie Stern and Daniel Johnston.
The Sour Notes formed initially as the moniker for singer-songwriter Jared Boulanger's solo recording project while living in Houston, Texas. Upon finishing what would later be his debut album The Meat of the Fruit in 2008, Boulanger asked long-time friend Chris Page to join him in creating a performing band in Austin. There, they met drummer Travis Hackett and bassist Brandi Dipietro through mutual friends and after having played only eight shows together, recorded The Sour Notes' second album, Received in Bitterness in the laundry room of their East Austin home, using just two microphones.
In Winter 2009, the band hit the road on their first East Coast tour just before releasing 7-inch single "Never Mix, Never Worry", which displayed a new direction for The Sour Notes' characteristically evolving sound. Later that year, bassist Brandi Dipietro left the band, causing The Sour Notes to incorporate live electronics with sequenced bass parts into their live performance. Shortly after, keyboardist Elaine Greer joined the band during the recording of their third album, It's Not Gonna Be Pretty, which was released in January 2010 to much critical acclaim. Following an East Coast tour in support of the album, The Sour Notes were selected as an official showcasing artist at the 2010 SXSW Music Festival, opening for We Are Scientists at the Official SXSWi Closing Party and Daniel Johnston's only Austin, Texas show that summer.
The Sour Notes performing live on air at KVRX 91.7 FM in Austin, Texas
The band spent the remainder of 2010 touring with numerous additions to the band, including Amarah Ulghani, Kelly DeWitt, Erin Mikulenka and Taylor Steinberg. The Sour Notes played over 60 shows in and around the US that year, including the Free Press Summer Fest in Houston, Pitter Patter Fest in Toronto and the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City. At the turn of 2011, The Sour Notes released 7-inch single Hot Pink Flares and their fourth album Last Looks, which featured orchestral group Mother Falcon, who performed on the album. The band then set out on another East Coast tour and were invited to play at the 35 Conferette in Denton and the 2011 NXNE Music Festival in Toronto.
2012 brought the release of split 7-inch record Wait//White on DIY label No Play Music with fellow Austin band Marmalakes and the U.S. television series Shameless featured The Sour Notes songs "Do-ers & Say-ers" and "One Fell Swoop" during its second season premiere on Showtime. The band added guitarist Rene Chavez and drummer Justin Selman and were again selected as official artists for SXSW and NXNE 2012. That summer, the band re-released their remixed/remastered fourth album, Last Looks on vinyl and toured the East Coast after adding Jessica Kim on keys and Erin Howell on drums.
In March 2013, The Sour Notes we're first round picks at SXSW and played 8 shows in Austin during the festival. In June, the band released cassingle In The Meanwhile and toured the East Coast, road-testing songs from their upcoming album Do What May. Based on fan voting, The Sour Notes we're selected to open for The Dandy Warhols as a part of Red Bull's Sound Select program in Austin that Summer.
Upon finishing work on their fifth album Do What May, The Sour Notes embarked on their first West Coast tour in support of the album and were invited to perform at SXSW 2014 that March. The band is scheduled to perform in July at the 2014 UMS in Denver and Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin while recording a new EP titled The Darkest Sour, slated for release in early 2015.

Hi everyone,
I have a product which is highly customisable, how do I create a 'unique product' for customers to pay and go through the whole woocommerce ecart process?
It starts with filling out a form with a few parameters and text areas, then the form is sent to the shop owner who will make a quote. The user is emailed a link which contains the customised product specifications and pricing. If they want to purchase they can click the add to cart and make their purchase.
Qn 1) How do I go about creating this product? Do I need to create a new product on every new customer request or I can just use 1 product and modify it (pricing and details) via scripts.
Qn 2) Can the customised product not appear in the shop listing section? How do I go about doing it?

We obviously need to get Amy some.
We'll open today from about 10-4. It's Muduary on the farm, so be forewarned – the driveways are a bit sloppy.
A little recognition for our Barn Swallow Draft Cider from the Chicago Reader.
A white pear brandy, or eau de vie.
A white spirit means, you guessed it, no oak aging. 'Honesty' goes nearly directly from still to bottle. We also bottle it a bit warm. 95 proof. We 're trying to get as much as pear into the bottle as we can.
So what's honest about 'Honesty'? A more traditional French, German or Austrian 'Poire Williams' would have been distilled from 100% Bartlett (aka Williams) pears. Those have a very distinct and powerful aroma. AeppelTreow Honesty comes, in great or lesser part each year, from distilling the stuff at the bottoms of our pear wine and perry tanks. And what's left over in the filters and pumps during transfers. While we take great care in local-sourcing Brown Dog Whiskey and WI Apple Brandy, Honesty just kind of happens.
Light pear bouquet followed by fire. Honesty is pear lightning. Not as brilliant 'pear skin' flavor as the best of its class, Honesty does have a nice balance and a lingering hint of spice that makes for a nice digestif or cocktail spirit.
Bottled in 375mL at 95 proof.
Come by the winery to try the new barrel : 12C03. Oh boy, did we get the fruit and spice thing going on this one.
Oh, wait – we're open by appointment only right now. Well, to be honest, we're doing a lot of winter work right now – so give a call and see if we're there.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
They now even censor that, especially the scene where the Major, goes on about correcting his date that "no no no, West Indians are N*ggers, these people are Wogs." And certainly the episode of "The Builders", with its' stereotyping of the Irish, couldn't get made today.
-Marx Bros.
-Porky's is rather tasteless, but when Beulah is talking to the principal and the boy's gym coaches after the shower incident, I about lose control of bodily functions.
-Ruthless People ("This could very well be the stupidest person on the face of the Earth. Maybe we should shoot him.")
-Lucky Numbers - dark but underrated comedy, IMO.
-What's Up Doc - forget Babs and just love Madeline Kahn.
OH YEAH they recently release on BLUE Ray

"The Gods Must Be Crazy" was probably the funniest movie I've ever seen.
I always cracked up when Basil saw off Mrs. Fawlty, "Have a nice day, dear..Don't drive over any mines or anything."
"Just going to see O'Reilly, dear."
"Used Cars" was quite a departure for Kurt Russel, who was best known as a Disney star.
One of the funniest movies ever, I haven't seen it in years.
FWIW, another terrific movie was "Real Genius."
Top Secret! is criminally underrated.
Winner! Lost in Space, Star Trek! Adam-12 and Dragnet if you started by 6. Batman during dinner @ 7.
I had every one of those shows on today. They are broadcast over the air on "ME TV".
Caddyshack and Animal House are some of my favs. Blues Brothers is another great one.
I forgot to mention, the "Star Trek" episode was one of the better ones.
"They took the bar!...The whole f'ing BAR!"
My sides hurt just thinking about it. If you like Peter Sellars try to find his early movie "the party" it's almost completely physical humor and sight gags. It's just as funny as any of his pink panther stuff.
Best Saturday in the world buddy. Takes you back to a better place and time!
It was a different world. A much better America.
Top Secret!

Wait for Sven every Saturday night!
...and Galaxy Quest
More recently, I like "Role Models" and "Tucker and Dale vs. Evil" (the second one is available on Netflix).
Tropic Thunder — especially any scene with Les Grossman (Tom Cruise). Absolutely fricking hilarious.
LOL! It WAS funny!
"Emergency, Emergency! Everybody to get from street!!"
Glad to see Shaun of the Dead on there. Love those guys. Hot Fuzz is one of my all time faves, amazingly funny, the laughs came non-stop ("I don't want to be Judge Judy and executioner!"). And of course I loved the anti-fascist overtones: "The greater good..." "Shut it!" I don't think that movie got nearly the attention it deseved.
Space Balls!
Genius beyond imagination!
Kurt Russell is so hilarious when describing how certain scenes were made. And how some had to be cut, like when they jam the football game. Originally Jeff was supposed to wear these penis nosed glasses, but they thought it was "too much". You can see them in Russell's hand in one shot when he tells Jeff to put the glasses on.
And Russell reacts to a joke about how Bill Clinton is a lot like Rudy.
"Haha, I never thought about it, but yeah, he is like Billy Jeff!, (cackle)"
Surprised no one has mentioned "What About Bob?" yet. Extremely funny movie. Also, "Nacho Libre," very funny.

Every time they came to our restaurant, they spilled the oil and made a complete mess. The city started giving me warnings about cleaning up the mess. They always picked up in the middle of the night and never left a reciept for what they got out of my container. After 2 years or so went by I realized that I had not recieved any payments from them from my oil.
The area around their container was never cleaned up from their constant spills so I tried numerous times to contact them about cleaning up the mess and paying me what they promised. After getting the run around for weeks, I switched companies. At this point they did finally send someone out with catlitter to soak up the oil and I was told that it was company policy not to pay rebates to customers that had cancelled service.
Also after doing a little research, I found out that they have never produced any biodiesel fuel and it was just a sales pitch.
If you're reading this...your company policy should be to steer clear of these crooks.

Unhappy Anniversary
This little news tidbit brings some warmth to my baseball heart:
"Aramis Ramirez will begin baseball-related activities this weekend in Cincinnati."
Today is exactly 4 weeks after the Friday, May 8th injury where Cub third baseman Aramis Ramirez dislocated his left shoulder. If anyone didn't previously appreciate what he brings to the team, they certainly do now after watching the Cubs rbi-less and mostly offensive offense during Ramirez' absence.
ARam is on track outlined in the initial rehab schedule that the Cubs told Tribune beat writer Paul Sullivan one day after the injury. As per the included Lou Piniella quote, we will soon get a better estimate as to ARam's return to the lineup in this phase of his rehab as he resumes baseball activity.
Aramis Ramirez will be in a sling for one week and spend three weeks in non-baseball activities, namely motion and strengthening exercises on his shoulder.
That suggests his stint on the disabled list will probably closer to eight weeks than 4-6, though the Cubs said it's too early to speculate on how long he'll be out of action.
"You're looking at a while," manager Lou Piniella said. "We'll know more after the first month."
The early consensus extimate was 6-8 weeks for this recovery, then add a few games in the minors on a final rehab assignment. Six weeks is vs. the Indians (May 19th) at Wrigley Field but I doubt they will push his rehab that hard although, if he's feeling good it's not impossible, just unlikely. Eight weeks is vs. the Brewers at Wrigley (July 3rd) and 10 weeks is at Washington after the all-star break, July 16th.
I see a hint of light at the end of what seems like a long tunnel.
Re: Unhappy Anniversary
I <3 second-half baseball.
Re: Unhappy Anniversary
Looks like Bradley will avoid the DL, pinch-hit this weekend, and is slated to return against the Astros:
Re: Unhappy Anniversary
Quote from Pinhead:
''First of all, he's feeling better, which is a good sign in itself,'' Piniella said of the decision process. ''Second of all, we really don't have many options. And third of all, we need him on the roster playing.''
I am glad these guys are running the team and not Doug D.
Re: Unhappy Anniversary
So I'm not next in line to be the Cubs' skipper when Lou retires? Damn.
My desire for Bradley to go on the DL wasn't so that he wouldn't be available to pinch hit. It was so maybe we could avoid trotting his corpse out there in 2011 for $14 million. Since it seems like he may only have to play 75 games for the third year to kick in, that's really a lost cause. As long as Aaron Miles is nowhere near the Cubs, playing with a 23 man roster might not kill us.
Re: Unhappy Anniversary
We've seen this rerun before and he missed more time than they expected.
It's interesting that they've switched managers and trainers and still seem to either be somewhat incompetent with injuries or flat out lying in some cases (not this one). I wonder if the constant in all that is Hendry?
Re: Unhappy Anniversary
Didn't Baseball Prospectus name the 2008 Cubs training staff the best in the majors?
Quit whining about injuries
Re: Quit whining about injuries
Come on, dude. Willie Tavaras going to the DL isn't quiite the same as Aramis Ramirez going to the DL. I agree you have to be able to adapt to injuries and you have to build the team deep and you can't use injuries as an excuse for taking strikes and swinging at balls, but the Cubs have had some big ones like D Lee, Nomar, and now Ramirez.
Re: Quit whining about injuries

Hendry Dodged this bullet
During the winter of 2006-2007, Jim Hendry, with John McD's blessing, went hunting for FA pitching that year.
Among the available were: 3/44, V. Padilla, J. Marquis, Ted Lilly, and Barry Zito
Vincente Padilla, who I liked as he threw at some White Sox hitters heads - but also to that point was pretty solid, got DFA'd yesterday: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/ba...
OF the five above, Hendry did a good job here - I have to give him credit at least on the two he chose. His choices this off-season - to date - while suck-ass, are not as bad as the blunders other GM's made with the three other pitchers above.
BTW - I discovered a score card from last August in my bike pannier - Cubs v. Cards @ Wrigley. Edmonds hit two solo jacks that day, and his average was .250 that day.
Re: Hendry Dodged this bullet
I think Gil Meche received some ridiculous contract that year, too if memory serves.
Re: Hendry Dodged this bullet
Padilla was put on outright waivers, more to gauge interest than anything...Rangers can revoke it and most likely will.

(points and laughs at Cubs)
In 1999, the Twins chose Morneau in the third round. With the next pick, the Montreal Expos chose catcher Drew McMillan.
In 2000, the Twins chose Kubel in the 12th round. With the next pick, the Cubs chose outfielder Antoine Cameron.
In 2001, the Twins chose Mauer with the first overall pick in the draft. With the next pick, the Cubs chose pitcher Mark Prior.
In 2002, the Twins chose Span with the 20th pick in the first round. With the next pick, the Cubs chose pitcher Robert Brownlie.
the goofy writer had to ruin his article with this stupid line, but still interesting:
If the Twins hadn't chosen those four in recent drafts, they'd be the Washington Nationals or the Pittsburgh Pirates, perennial losers that perennially appear clueless. If the Twins hadn't chosen those four, the Chicago Cubs might have banished the Curse of the Billy Goat by now.
awesome that he got a Billy Goat reference in there though...real original...must work for Fox or ESPN in his spare time.
Soriano feeling better
The Cubs avoided another injury scare Wednesday when leadoff man Alfonso Soriano rounded first base hard after a first-inning single and felt a sharp pain in his bruised left knee.
Soriano said he thought he might have to come out of the game, but was surprised when the knee just as suddenly felt great again. He finished the 11-inning game.
''It was the best I felt -- after the first inning -- since I first got hurt,'' said Soriano, who speculated he might have broken through some scar tissue. ''I hope it's over now, and I can steal some bases tomorrow.''
He had been bothered by the knee since banging it on the wall at Wrigley Field chasing a double off the wall April 22.
Re: Soriano feeling better
I'm no doctor, but healthy knees don't do this, right?
Re: Soriano feeling better
Whatever excuse you need to sleep better at night, Soriano!
And here's a tip - you have to get on base in order to steal... First things first!!
Alfonso Soriano rounded first base hard... after watching him lollygag all the way from the box to second base on his double down the line against the Dodgers on the Sunday night game, this must be a misprint!!
Re: Soriano feeling better
our .301 ob% leadoff hitter with the most power on the team might not be able to steal those 10-15 bases this year if this keeps up.
Mike Wellman should be happy...
Harden and Aaron Miles to make appearances in Iowa this weekend...
Re: Unhappy Anniversary
"Harden and Aaron Miles to make appearances in Iowa this weekend..."
No chance Miles stays there, huh?
Trying to complete all the transactions on Wiklifield and came across this in 1987.
September 22: RHP Dickie Noles loaned to the Detroit Tigers.
October 23: RHP Dickie Noles returned to the Chicago Cubs.
what the hell is that? Noles pitched in 4 games and ended up getting 2 saves for the Tigers. He didn't pitch in the postseason and I assume he wasn't eligible and I'm just hoping this is Retrosheet/BR being confused about a transaction.
Re: Randomness...
Rob -
I did find this article:
In it, it states that:
This isn't the first time the Tigers have traded a player for himself. In 1987, the Tigers acquired reliever Dickie Noles from the Cubs for a player to be named later.
The player to be named later? Dickie Noles.
Re: Randomness...
The Tigers are clearly trying to mess with the system. In Campusano's case though, he was returned as part of the Rule 5 draft rules. Due to his injury, he didn't spend enough time on the active roster for the Tigers and then they offered him back to the Cubs the next season.
Re: what the hell is that?
Well, Noles was traded for a PTBNL but they couldn't agree on the player.
It's rare, and probably should be prohibited, but that wasn't the first time it's happened.
Re: what the hell is that?
Can we "borrow" a few star players from non-contending teams and then trade them back at the end of the season? That works for me!!
Maybe we can get Peavy or Heath Bell or Adrian Gonzalez on "loan"...
Vitters named to All-Star Team

Re: Unhappy Anniversary
Pretty good column from the WWL today on the Ron Washington/Nolan Ryan rift. I didn't really know any of that was even going on:
There's certainly some fluff in there, but I think it'll be interesting to see what happens if the Rangers keep playing as well as they are right now.

Go complain about something else, like, "they never play good against the good teams", or some other shit.
Addy really has trouble breaking through .250 BA -- after his hot streak got him to .251, he has gone 1-for-17.
Thank goodness for Jansen's 2 WP on Friday -- otherwise this would have been a sweep.
There seems to be a direct correlation with overconfidence in the Cubs offense against mediocre/young pitchers and really poor offense against mediocre/young pitchers. So, let's fear the Pirate pitchers!
Rizzo due for a power surge -- one HR in August so far. He truly does hit them in bunches.
Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Cahill as maybe I should be. There, I said it.
Rough 8th inning all around -- HBP, Cahill error, Javy's poor decision.
Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.
Baez still learning
heyward with his 3rd multi-hit game since the all-star break (all in august)...2nd in the past 3 games during his 7 game hitting streak.
he's gone from flirting with a sub-.300 ob% to nearing .310 ob% in 3 games (1 game was just a 1 for 1 pinch hit appearance). all 5 hits in the past 3 games have come in a row...neat.
stewart with 7Ks through 3ip...of course.
that 10-13 mph difference in his fastball/change is working today...and they're swinging at his crappy slider.
brock stewart...steven brault...fun times for the cubs hitters vs allegedly competitive teams...maybe.
Maddon would have started three lefties against the Dodgers, Montgomery, Zastryzny and Lester, except that he doesn't have the juice to do that. No manager does. Maddon has a boss, Epstein (and probably Hoyer, too), who gave him a starting rotation of five guys including Hammel. Maddon was asked yesterday about the starting group for next year and basically said, Not my call, that's why I drive away in my RV in the summer and occasionally check in, etc.
video of Maddon.
always nice that he actually tries to honestly answer questions. Does mention that he wanted to give Zastr? a chance in a meaningful spot rather than a mop-up role.
from Muskat:
#Cubs Maddon: "I'm not going to make up an excuse for why I did what I did. It has nothing to do with lack of confidence" ... "It was the right thing to do today based on what I saw, what their lineup looked like and Rob Z.'s availability." #Cubs
Hammel not particularly understanding of getting pulled out...as he should. Be curious what Maddon had to say. All I can think of is is keeping arms fresh and maybe wanting to see if Zastr? is worth considering for the playoffs and how he'd do against the Dodgers.
great defense
Heyward, Russell, Baez, Bryant, Ross in particular...although Bryant's a bit hard to judge with all the positions.
Fowler and Rizzo in the top half of the NL for their positions as well (per fangraphs)...Zobrist right at the halfway cutoff for 2b in the NL.
I'm sure some luck is involved too, but the Cubs and Maddon knew what they were doing.
