Clevenger and Dolis Up
The Tennesee Smokies lost in the Southern League championship yesterday and the Mobile Bay Bears take the series 3-1. The upside for two members was a call-up to the Show to watch the other Cubs players over the last 10 days of the season. Congrats and here's your steak knives.
- The Red Sox death spiral would bring about interviews with Theo Epstein and his entourage a lot sooner, so you know where my rooting interests are. Not that I needed the further enticement to root against the Red Sox.
- Some absurd rumor that Ricketts have soured on Billy Beane because the Moneyball concept is not playing that well with the fans. I don't think 99% of Cubs fans really know what the "Moneyball" concept is, not to mention it's not all too dissimilar to what about 50% of teams are currently running now including the golden boy, Theo Epstein's organization.
- It doesn't appear an extension is happening for scouting director Tim Wilken, but he was told after Sunday to continue to operate as usual and will be kept on for the 2012 season.
- Marco Hernandez and Gioskar Amaya were named among the Top 20 prospects that played in the Arizona Rookie League.
- If Q-Ball has his say (and hopefully he won't in about 10 days), he'd consider Samardzija for the rotation but thinks Marshall is too valuable in the set-up role. Pretty much the opposite way I see it...I think trying Marshall in the rotation has a lot more upside, while I think Samardzija was more lucky than good this year.
- The Cubs still holding at the 7th spot in the draft, a half game behind the Royals for the 6th spot, but just a game ahead of the Pirates for the 8th spot.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Wood shelved for the season, torn meniscus. Sullivan says Wood wants to come back in '12.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
wow. also, he's having surgery to repair it.
PWSullivan Paul Sullivan
Wood was squatting on Saturday and felt knee pop. Torn meniscus. Still hopes to return in 2012. Also raised $400,000 at bowling event.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
yeah, as far as knee tissue injuries go, this is one of the more common ones.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
better than the ACL as I'm sure Cubster will tell us.
Definitely better than tearing the anterior crucuate ligament.
Ted Lilly was back in 3 weeks for a torn meniscus, you might remember (see link below) that was when he was bored rehabbing his sore shoulder and added the knee to the mix to spice things up...but that only happens if your name is Teddy Roosevelt Lilly.
and of course, TRL had his shoulder scoped while rehabbing his knee.
Of course, Kerry Wood's had all the shoulder scoping he could ever hope for (right, Dr. Kremchek?). What the heck, might as well. After all, it's just Cubbery.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
I'm sure he won't be retiring. The Cubs ought to offer at least a couple million for his services, if he really wants to play.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
He'd make a decent pitching coach some day. He learned from one of the best pitching coaches around.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
And, an expert in Towel Drills, of course.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
In the CSN link Rob posted in the article, Wilken was told to go ahead and renew contracts of his scouting department.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Wonder if he bowled last nite.
Kerry and his wife do great charity work for Childrens memorial in Chicago.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
It strikes me that it is too late to look at either Samardzija or Marshall for a start this late in the season. However, I question your feeling that Shark has been more lucky than skilled this year. Even his control has improved as the year has progressed.
With the lack of quality FA starters this year, it makes sense to search our deep bullpen for a guy or two. It makes little sense to me to keep Marmol, Wood, Marshall, Samardzija, Cashner, Russell, Carpenter and possibly Beliveau and Dolis for the late innings.
Personally, I'd stretch Cash, Marshall and Shark in ST and see how they look. Use the depth we have to our advantage in an off playoff year.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Exactly. They ought to all get stretched and it ought to be Cashner, Marshall, then Samardzija in line to join the rotation. The order should only change if something disastrous occurs or if somebody has a massive breakout. And they ought to bring back at least one Rodrigo Lopez type of fill-in starter in waiting at AAA or swingman for the bullpen.
A Laugh Riot
Things are not going well for Ryan Theriot in St Louis. LaRussa implies that Riot is too
strong fat ("He wanted to hit more power and bulked up some.") and it's cost him quickness.
Theriot counters that the Cards put too much pressure on his defense in ST and it made him "timid" at shortstop for the first time in his playing career. Then it gets good,
The Cardinals led the division until July 27, four days before the Furcal acquisition. Speaking only about his own role, Theriot noted, "When I was playing shortstop we were in first place. I know that. It is what it is."
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Oh my: "When I was playing shortstop we were in first place. I know that. It is what it is."
Wow. That guy makes friends everywhere he goes, eh?
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
While at the game last night, I was thinking about Barney and the "Theriot Light" moniker CRUNCH labled him kiddingly.
So, as of last night, their stats are nearly identical. It is pretty funny actually. But Barney is several years younger.
My guess is he will remain employed in the MLB, if Jerry Hairston can...
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
If anyone else had charge of filling out the lineup card for the last nine games, would there be any reason to play Hill at all unless it was the third catcher in an extra innings game?
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
I'll be surprised if Clevenger gets one At Bat.
Today's beaut from Q was that there would be no "kids days" because the Brewers may clinch in Chicago.
So I guess he is trying to guarantee it with that fantastic squad of vets that has done so well this year.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Dammit, Soto!

He had a sub 700 OPS in high A. They should release him.

Cubs Logo Hat
Okay crew,
I haven't been around in forever but I have a favor of the community.
I was at Wrigley this weekend and saw a hat with a logo I've never seen. I can't even find a picture of it online or the hat itself. The hat was sold out of my size so I couldn't buy it there.
I found it in the cubs team shop right as you walk in the left field line (didn't see it in any other shops in Wrigley).
The logo was a read cub throwing a baseball with a high leg kick. It kinda looked more like a monkey if you ask me, but who knows.
If anyone can track down that logo, a place to buy that hat online, or wants to buy that hat at Wrigley for me (7 3/8ths), I'd gladly pay them for the hat, shipping, and extra for their inconvenience (via paypal).
Let me know. I'll check here or you can email me [email protected]
P.S. - The lady said it was the 1934 logo. I can't find it anywhere. Not a mention of the logo anywhere.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
This one looks like a monkey here:
What you are looking for?
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
That's the logo, which I've never seen before, but the hat had just the red monkey throwing a baseball centered in the cap.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
I think that is BS, personally.
Even the 1927 Little Cubbie logo was only on the unis and not on the cap.
from 1927-1936 it was this little Cubbie holding a bat under the arm in sillouette. You see them now on the popular black cap of today.
Fat Elvis
Rotoworld reports that Berkman and the Cards can't agree on a contract; I think he'd be worth a look as next year's first baseman if the pie-in-the-sky Fielder dreams don't work out. Probably could be had for 2/$25ish.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
I suppose money trumps all, but Berkman hates the Cubs and Wrigley. He has intimated this before.
Of course Favre hated the Vikings...
As I said, money can trump all (Donald).
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
From the article:
"It's always about money," Berkman said. "No matter what people say, it's always about the money."
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
It's a pretty good rule, but Wood, for one, is an exception.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
ballsy to say so coldly...true as hell, though.
that said, there's already early rumblings from the cj wilson camp that he wants to work in a south/south-west climate.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
"It's always about money," Berkman said. "No matter what people say, it's always about the money."
Is that because agents are on commission? I would think that an athlete who has already made a lot of money would care more about who he is working with and whether they have a chance to win than a small increment in income.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Agents don't make the decisions the players do.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Agents don't make the decisions the players do.
Amend that to, "Agents don't make the decisions, the players do...and the players union (Tom Glavine), or if the agent is Scott Boros."
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Amend that to, "Only the player makes decisions. If he decides to allow other to make his decisions for him that is his decision."
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
there's guys out there making 10-20+ million a year who will go shill something for someone in exchange for 10-30K...or free meals...etc.
hell, manny ramirez was trying to sell a grill he had in his garage taking up space for a couple grand a few years ago via ebay. you'd think he'd be more prone to kick it down to a friend or donate it for a write-off...or something rather than having ebay buyers coming to his house to clean his garage.
myself...i wouldn't do 1/2 the stuff some of these guys do for a few grand if i had 10s of millions in the bank. then again, i won't ever have to worry about that or know what it's like...heh.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Berkman allegedly would have accepted the Cubs offer last off-season had their not been so much deferred.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Anyone else have the feeling the Cardinals will be a sleeper team that goes after Fielder?
Here, have some more PED Marlon.
//As they sat in the offices of the San Carlos, Calif., nutritional supplement company he started, Victor Conte and bantamweight boxer Nonito Donaire were brainstorming names for Conte's newest consumer product - an energy drink designed to stimulate "mind and body for more powerful and effective workouts."
"What if we called it PED?" Conte joked.
"I think it's great!" Donaire said.
The acronym was too good to pass up.
For those in anti-doping circles, the three letters will not be lost in translation - PED is most often the acronym associated with "performance-enhancing drugs" - but these days Conte can afford to poke fun at his BALCO past and his once-sullied reputation.
Scientific Nutrition for Advanced Conditioning, or SNAC, is Conte's company, and business is booming. PED - which stands for Performance Energy Drink - is about to hit the market, joining a list of other SNAC products, including ZMA, that fuel Conte's highly successful supplement business and allow him to do what he says he enjoys doing most, work with world-class athletes. Donaire is one of several elite athletes who train under Conte, and word has traveled quickly: if you want .exceptional performance results, the man you need to see is Victor Conte.
"He's helped me become a better fighter and athlete," Donaire says of Conte. "My performance level has increased dramatically."
Yes, the BALCO founder who pleaded guilty and served four months in jail for his role in the biggest sports doping scandal of the 21st century - the ring that ensnared the likes of Olympic track star Marion Jones and home run king Barry Bonds and led to an effort to rid sports of doping that has stretched into the current investigation of cycling king Lance Armstrong - can now scarcely field the myriad calls lighting up his cell phone.....//
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Marmol pitching, McGehee batting, Soto catching and calling the pitches.
Marmol throws two quick fastball strikes. McGehee takes the first and swings late at the second--very late, like he's sitting on the slider (which a lot of guys do with Marmol).
McGehee takes a slider outside and then hammers the next one, a fat one.
What am I missing? Isn't the rule that you throw the fastball until they show they can catch up with it, by fouling it off, for example? McGehee looks overmatched, until Marmol starts showing off his effing slider, which he loves to do.
So Marmol proves once again that stupid loses. Soto seems like a smart hitter. As a catcher, not so much.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Soto needs to remember to call for the good slider, not the hanging one
Not to mention the 97 MPH fastball.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
"or hitting it out?"
Usually a hitter doesn't go from swinging late to hitting a home run, unless the pitcher helps him out by throwing something off-speed.
For example, Marmol has yielded two grand slams recently. Lee hit a slider. Bogusevic hit a fastball. Marmol started Bogusevic with three fastballs. The first two he missed, the third he fouled off. (That happens to be the scenario I mentioned in my comment: if he's late, throw the fastball until he fouls one off.) Then Marmol threw two sliders, but they were very low and Bogusevic laid off, although he almost bit on the second one and I remember Brenly praising him for resisting that pitch. The sixth pitch was a fastball that he connected on.
Big difference between Bogusevic on any of those fastballs and McGehee on the only fastball he swung at last night. You might look at McGehee's at bat if you can find the time. He looked very uncomfortable when Marmol was throwing fastballs. He couldn't pull the trigger on the first one, and swung awkwardly late on the second. When Marmol went into slider mode, McGehee got comfortable: he had no trouble laying off the first one, even though it was just outside, and the second one was like knocking apples off a tree.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
The only pitch McGehee has handled worst than the fastball this year is.. wait for it.. wait for it.. the slider http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid...
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
"a sample size of one does not make a working theory..."
The well-bruited idea that you don't throw an offspeed pitch to a hitter who is having trouble catching up to your fastball is not based on a small sample size. I'm sorry you never heard it. Maybe Soto never heard it either, or maybe he forgot. He probably gets a lot of advice. He also knows that if you call for a slider, Marmol seldom if ever shakes you off.
I have another theory, by the way, that throwing fastballs is work and throwing sliders is play, and pitchers get lazy.
"Marmol throwing 90-92 mph is his current problem, no one is scared of his fastball anymore "
I've been talking about Marmol (and Dempster, when he was a reliever) losing velocity on their fastballs for a long time. Pitchers have to take care of their fastballs. Howry was a great example of this. It used to take him two months at the start of every season to get his fastball up to 94-95.
(This, by the way, was the origin of the funniest joke in the history of TCR, if not the entire internet, when I said that Hill encouraged pitchers to rely on their fastballs more than other catchers on the team and certainly more than the pitching coach.)
In any case, if you actually watch Marmol's innings rather than get all your input from Fangraphs, you see that hitters are usually late on his 90-92 mph fastball. It's still a great "secondary" pitch for him.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
I have another theory, by the way, that throwing fastballs is work and throwing sliders is play, and pitchers get lazy.
Have you ever played baseball before?
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Man too bad Kerry Wood was so lazy, he may have never had arm trouble.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Before what?
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Making that claim, I would guess.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
I was just pulling his chain. "Before" doesn't really add anything to that question.
Have I ever played baseball? I was a lazy pitcher in high school.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
I'm guessing this is why Koyie Hill is important to a pitcher.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
It would explain why he's on the roster. I don't think he's Hendry's bastard son. I'm sure they don't think he can hit.
I don't really care about Hill either way, except that he strikes me as one of baseball's likeable working stiffs. Guys like him don't bother me at all. Behind the plate, he seems to know what he's doing. Don't worry, he won't have a long career as an active player.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Don't worry, he won't have a long career as an active player.
Too late.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
if you actually watch Marmol's innings rather than get all your input from Fangraphs, you see that hitters are usually late on his 90-92 mph fastball. It's still a great "secondary" pitch for him.
Translation: If you rely on what I tell you, from my very biased perspective, rather than, you know, facts, it's still a great secondary pitch for him.
Is your theory that the average major league hitter can not catch up to a 92 MPH fastball? Because that's wrong. If someone is late on his fastball, it's because he's guessing slider. If he throws more fastballs, guess what - they're going to expect the fastballs more often, and the gulf between the effectiveness of the two pitches will deepen.
Could it be, and this is admittedly, just a theory, that he is throwing fewer fastballs this year, because they're coming in 2 MPH slower than they did in previous years, and he knows with his poor command he can't get away with leaving one in the zone, where maybe he could if it was a 95 MPH pitch?
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
If Marmol establishes a good mix of fastballs and sliders, hitters won't be able to sit on the slider the way McGehee was.
Marmol has been touched for several home runs lately because hitters are adjusting to him. He has to adjust back. McGehee has faced Marmol many times and surely knows by now that with an oh-and-two count, the next several pitches will be sliders.
Hitters also know that if they ever see Marmol shake off the catcher, a slider is coming.
Marmol just isn't a thinking man's pitcher; and if he's losing his fastball it's because he hasn't worked hard to maintain it.
This might be unfair because I'm not at the games and I don't see what's going on in the bullpen, but I wonder how many pitches Marmol throws in the pen before he decides he's ready, and how hard he throws. On TV, it seems that whenever they show Marmol in the bullpen he is watching the game. Cubbery?
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Who is a thinking man's pitcher with only two pitches and no control? That doesn't make him dumb, either--it makes him wild, which he also was during the times he was ridiculously effective.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
When are we finally going to see Barney in his rightful eight spot? Next year?
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
dewitt at least has some pop in his bat...just saying...plus he's had a really weird season vs. righties...and by comparison vs. lefties, too. a bit of over-achievement meets underachievement.
quade probably likes barney's D more, though...meh/sigh/ultimately no big deal anyway.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
We could lose everyone in the organization and they wouldn't be missed.
Re: Gary Hughes
The last gem I heard out of Gary Hughes' mouth was back in June when he said the Cubs could actually be buyers not sellers at the trade deadline.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Wasn't he the guy that blasted the SABR movement on an ESPN round table a few years ago? He sounded like a bitter relic of the past.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Isn't he likely to retire instead of move to another organization? I think he's way up there in years, I would think that traveling a lot has to get old once you're 65+. (or way earlier than that).
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
My hat's off (way UP) to whoever it was at Peoria that fixed Jeff Beliveau's command and control.

Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Thanks for 8 1/2 years of the best production from a third baseman since Ron Santo. Now, feel free to take your 33 year old, soon-to-break-down body and sell a multi-year $40M contract to some other dumbass.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
In 8.5 years, he has been on the DL every one of them, IIRC.
Some years for long stretches.
I have plenty of good memories (Brewers walk-off, NLDS, NLCS series of '03), but plenty of shit too. He sucked-ass in the last post-season play of 2007/2008, including hitting .000 in the 2007 series. Not a fucking hit in three post-season games.
Mostly shit the last three years, and, of course in his last year he manages to do well.
Thanks for the (somewhat) good memories, and good luck in the future.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
You don't recall correctly, but he does get lots of quad strains.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Looking at his career PA's, I would guess that he had DL stints 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010 (he missed time for injury - not "official" DL'd), and he will be out 2011 for strained quad, now.
So, you are right in that he did not get injured every year, but more than half his time here.
And, only downhill at this point.
Re: Clevenger and Dolis Up
Soriano is a Latino, please take him too!
Recent comments
Despite good movement on his fastball, I think location kept him from getting Ks. Left some pitches up and away that got hammered up and away. Then of course Travis Wood gave up the 2-run double in the 7th, but both runs counted against Arrieta.
"i'm gonna make you my main squeeze one day, bro. save the date."
This level of discourse is #charming.
I would be having this discussion with anyone who (a) blathered on ad nauseum about the topic. (See, "Olt, Mike, not given an opportunity") or (b) responded directly to what I posted (which you did).
Have a nice day.
what would you do without me? aside from having your posting content here cut by 75%+?
i'm gonna make you my main squeeze one day, bro. save the date.
In this instance, yes, I care more about the result of this big thing that isn't really a big thing.
Two things:
Fangraphs WAR #s include baserunning and Hamilton is elite at that. He leads in SBs with the 54 and and has an 87% rate which is really good. I'm sure once he gets on base he's able to take the extra base quite often too. Both those things will up his overall WAR value.
The differences between BR and FG WAR is pretty well documented online and thus If there are discrepancies it's fairly easy to figure out why. It's fairly well accepted that BR WAR is fine as a snapshot but FG is better at predicting future value.
i have no doubt at all you quit reading at that point. you're very enamored with outcomes without caring what it takes to get there.
the fact it's exploitable, especially without someone to cover the running game for him, as well it's evolution in how people are testing possible exploits is interesting to some people...to me...i'm some people...hurrah.
some people want to check the boxscore to see who won, some want to know how it went down.
I read it as him saying it's not really that much of a concern and that the one time it really cost Lester, vs. K.C., was an anomaly.
if jeff says it, it's cool...when i say it, it's straight from the mouth of hitler.
aside from the lack of jeff touching on the insane leads runners take and lester's inability to throw if he's fielding, this is a lot of what i've said about the issue.
exploitable, needs his own personal catcher to control his shortcomings, relies on his ability to get outs along with his personal catcher keeping runners in check before things become further exploited...
That would be Rice Krispy Treat
"Crunch's cousin"
Butterfinger or Baby Ruth?
I saw the first three innings and the last three, so I didn't see Arrieta get hit. His stuff looked nasty at first...what happened? Any insight from anyone who watched?
That question came from CRUNCH's cousin.
He's definitely one of the best
Jeff Sullivan of Fangraphs on Lester:
Question: Do you think that Lester's base-throwing yips/lack of the ability to hold runners is a big deal? He's had a long, successful career despite this, mainly due to being good a run prevention, but it did hurt that one time vs. KC in the playoffs. Should Cubs fans be making a bigger deal out of it, or is it just not that big of a deal?
Miggy seemed remarkably unhappy for a guy who just won the game. Probably related to the fact that he never plays any more.

Skip to comments.Limbaugh stands by McNabb race remarks
Posted on 10/01/2003 1:09:09 PM PDT by kattracks
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Rush Limbaugh insisted Wednesday he had "no racist intent whatsoever" in saying the media have overrated the Philadelphia Eagles' Donovan McNabb because they want to see a black quarterback succeed.
In fact, the conservative commentator said he must have been right; otherwise, the comments would not have sparked such outrage.
Limbaugh offered no apology, and McNabb said it was too late for one anyway.
"I'm sure he's not the only one that feels that way, but it's somewhat shocking to actually hear that on national TV," the NFL star said. "An apology would do no good because he obviously thought about it before he said it."
Before McNabb led the Eagles to a 23-13 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Limbaugh said on ESPN's pregame show that he did not think McNabb was as good as he was perceived to be.
"I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well," Limbaugh said. "There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team."
Limbaugh did not back down during his syndicated radio talk show Wednesday.
He reiterated that he does not think McNabb is a bad player, just that he isn't as good as some members of the media think he is.
"This is such a mountain out of a molehill," he said. "There's no racism here, there's no racist intent whatsoever."
"All this has become the tempest that it is because I must have been right about something," he said. "If I wasn't right there wouldn't be this cacophony of outrage that has sprung up in the sports writer community."
On Wednesday, Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark said Limbaugh should be fired. The retired Army general called the remarks "hateful and ignorant speech."
The NFL disclaimed any responsibility for Limbaugh's remarks.
"ESPN knew what it was getting when they hired Rush Limbaugh," league vice president Joe Browne said. "ESPN selects its on-air talent, not the NFL."
ESPN spokesman Dave Nagle said he did not believe the comments were racially biased. "He was comparing McNabb's performance on the field to his reputation in the media," Nagle said.
Chris Berman, who anchors the ESPN show, said he did not believe Limbaugh's tone or intent was malicious. "As cut and dry as it seems in print, I didn't think so when it went by my ears," he said. "I probably should have looked to soften it."
McNabb, who was runner-up for the MVP award in 2000 and has led the Eagles to two straight conference championship games, said he has no quarrel with Limbaugh's comment on his playing ability. "I know I played badly the first two games," he said.
But McNabb said that the comments about his race were out of bounds and added that someone on the show should have taken Limbaugh on. Among the other panelists were former players Michael Irvin and Tom Jackson, both of whom are black.
"I'm not pointing at anyone but someone should have said it," McNabb said of the panelists, who also include Berman and Steve Young. "I wouldn't have cared if it was the cameraman."
A decade ago, there were few black quarterbacks in the NFL. This season, 10 of the 32 teams will have started black quarterbacks in at least one game.
Limbaugh has helped increase the ratings for "Sunday NFL Countdown." Nagle said ratings are up 10 percent overall. Sunday's show drew its biggest audience in the regular season since 1996.
Limbaugh is the radio host of the politically focused "Rush Limbaugh Show," which is syndicated in more than 650 markets worldwide.
Actually, I see this sort of writing from the PC journalists all the time. If a white kid does somethng heroic it is never printed or a side note, but if it is a minority kid, all out reporting. It's ok, but it is so predictable.
And on the other hand, if the perp is a white guy, all out reporting, but if the perp is a minority, no color is mentioned.
It's funny the PC Zombies don't understand, the a human being should be judged by his character and actions, not his color.
Just like Daunte Culpepper, he can't seem to hit a moving receiver and his main forte' is running (I suppose saying that is racist too.) Well running gets you hurt, just ask Vick and Culpepper. After a quick look at the stats, I'd rank him slightly above a Jeff Blake or Aaron Brooks, and even with a Drew Bledsoe or Tommy Maddox.
He is definitely no Brett Favre, McNair or even a Jeff Garcia.
It was a big mistake for Philly to invest so much in him, just like it was a big mistake for Minnesota to plunk down the cash for Culpepper. We saw what Minnesota could do with a decent passer in the game the last two weeks.
You have no clue what we're talking about, do you? Rush's assertion was two-fold: 1) McNabb is overrated (maybe debatable, but not a controversial opinion) and 2) Sports writers overrate him at least partially because of a desire to see black QBs succeed. (Meeting McNabb has nothing to do with anything.) That second assertion, which is pretty simple and probably would be universally agreed upon were it advanced by a non-conservative, is not even about McNabb, but about the sports writers. You might ask, Has Rush met the sports writers? Peter King at SI (gee, there's a high integrity organization) says all the writers he knows are completely color blind. (Right . . .) But it's very difficult to prove either way, unless Bernie Goldberg were to spend some time looking into it. Knowing the liberal media -- which extends even into sports -- Rush's assertion would seem to be the more believable.
Well, the Dixie Chicks, in their position as singers, criticized the President in a foreign country in war time, and suffered a huge fan backlash; Rush made a debatable assertion about some sports writers in his capacity as sports analyst during the NFL season and is being called a racist by opportunist people who have always hated him and who are trying to ruin his career.
You're right, it's the same!

"Perhaps, I could concede that Rush Limbaugh is not a racist but he made a racist statement."
"I do think he should have stood his ground and created a body of work in sports commentary so that we could see a pattern of objectivity and fairness as opposed to a pattern of insensitivity and race baiting."
Sorry, dude, you're out there on the fringe. Explain, just ONCE, how criticizing white sports writers for building up hype based on race is racist. It is, in fact, the opposite. As for "pattern of race baiting" . . . WHAT in the world are you talking about???
If people are being hyped for racial reasons, then their credibility should be questioned and their integrity improved....
If people are being hyped for racial reasons, the fault lies in those doing the hyping and has nothing to do with the hypee.
So you're saying Rush is racist against sports writers? I wasn't aware that was a race.
I have previously stated that without an extensive media study it is impossible to prove either way -- heck even WITH an extensive media study it'd be damn near impossible -- that race is part of why McNabb is overrated. But both sides can offer opinions, and that's what Rush did, he offered his. I find it logical based on what we know about White Guilt, the left-leaning media, and backlash against the "blacks can't be QBs" myth. If you think it's more logical to assert that all sportswriters are color blind, the same people who harp about #s of black coaches etc, then you are living in denial or have never read the multitude of race-conscious sports & society columns. Coming from the Boston sports market as I do, I can tell you race is an obsession of sports writers there, and I'll bet it is very prominent elsewhere too.
So you're claiming that the media is race-biased, just like Rush said. You just agreed with him.
Posit: McNabb is overrated. Many agree with this.
Question: Why is he overrated?
There is no way to "prove" why he's overrated, outside of a massive media survey and psychological examination of sports writers, and even then it'd be iffy. So by your logic, no one can say he's overrated because he has a nice smile, because they have no solid facts to back it up, just an opinion based on observation. In fact, no one can discuss it at all, because their opinions likely can't be proven. No opinions should be allowed on TV or in print unless they can be factually proven. And if someone offers an opinion, they should apologize and be fired. No more discussion of "who's the best center fielder ever" on ESPN. It's opinion.
Oh, and apparently any allegation of racial bias is itself racist.
Do I have your philosophy down to a T or what?
During Ali's fights, there was lots of intimidation to his opponents in order that the chosen champion wins! Sports is full of corruption. Social engineering by the liberals is, and has always been unchecked
That's what analysts and announcers do. They are paid to give their opinions and their analysis, some based on fact, some not.
And you have conceded that there is nothing to prove or disprove his stated opinion... He should not be representing that as fact...
He's representing it as his opinion. Some think it's true, some think it isn't. It would be difficult or impossible to prove it either way.
Rush made very clear where he stood in his resignation statement and in his follow-up on his radio show.
I could also say that I agree with some of the things that the Dixie Chicks said but I sure do not agree with the way they said what they said...
Yeah yeah, you're a flaming liberal, we get the picture . . .

Best Boating
All right so this is South Florida, not the Bahamas. But what's the point of owning a boat if you can't do a little island-hopping? The Palm Beach County Department of Parks and Recreation has made it easy for boaters to feel like true nautical people by offering a chance to cruise the Intracoastal Waterway for the day, then tie up and spend the night away from the madding, landlocked crowd. Peanut Island, long a haven for day-trippers, has been turned into an official but not officious destination for boaters. For $16.50 per night, boaters can tie up at the 20-site campground, pitch a tent, grab a shower, and sleep under the stars with the water lapping nearby. While reservations are recommended for the campground, less organized types can use primitive camping sites that are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The primitive sites are free, but they don't come with picnic tables, grills, easy access to bathrooms, or any guarantee of availability. Those trying to regain their land legs can stroll along a 1.25-mile path that circles the island or visit a bunker that was built for President Kennedy just in case the Cuban Missile Crisis erupted into nuclear war while he was staying at the family compound in Palm Beach. For those who don't want to spend the night, the island is a perfect place to spend the day. Drop anchor and swim in the perpetually placid waters, then look for shells along the beach or hike some surprisingly hilly terrain. Located just inside the Palm Beach Inlet, the spoil island marks the beginning of some of the best cruising waters on the Intracoastal. Head north and watch as the waterway widens, mangroves replace high-rises, and civilization -- as we unfortunately know it -- disappears. (Wannabe visitors who don't own boats can get to the island for five bucks by calling the Sailfish Marina Water Taxi at 561-683-8294.)

Hi wp community,
I've been researching a lot about wp and drupal for my company's website upgrade project.
We are looking at building a site that can serve as both our business and consumer site.
Our primary inspiration so far is samsung.com because it has the e-commerce well integrated.
From all the positive feedbacks I've been reading about WP, I'm sure anything can be done, but how? Since samsung's store is using samsung.com domain, Would "Store" be a separate site inside the main site? I'm trying to figure out how the features can be implemented in a WP system so I know what I'm getting myself into. Would someone explain how samsung.com's "Store", "My Account", and "Support" section can be made in WP system?
Anyhelp would be appreciated.

It is my belief based on information gathered that Eddie Petrossian has no respect for the people of the Prairie Provinces. He also has no respect for General Credit Services Inc.s offices and the people who work in them located in Calgary AB, Edmonton AB, Saskatoon SK & Winnipeg MB. As a Businessman in these provinces, I take great offence to his statement which obviously is racist.
It is my belief based on information gathered that Eddie Petrossian would never hold a job in one of these provinces where Honesty, Hard Work & Truth are required to survive and prosper. As a Bully behind a phone hiding in some office, he lies, threatens, scams and cheats people. By opening other peoples mail, this is equivalent to raping them of their privacy and security guaranteed every Canadian under The Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms. [continued below]....
If Eddie Petrossian is capable of these actions, is he capable of child molestation &/or child pornography? He obviously thinks nothing of his fellow workers in the prairie provinces.
It is a well reported fact that Armenians are Two Faced.
When Armenian institutions work together well no need to continue this, because they never manage to agree to do anything together and in those very unique situation when they do so, it always ends up in controversy, unnecessary arguments and final break up.
Armenians are quick to wrongfully judge each other. We think we are right even though we havent invested enough thought to the subject at hand. We seem to immediately see the negative side of things even though the positive side far outweighs it. We tend to discourage people with good ideas and intensions without allowing them the benefit of the doubt.
Often Armenians like to exaggerate or lets say extend reality a bit. We like to make things look harder, bigger or more complicated than they really are. We like to boast about our achievements regardless of the outcome or the quality of the final product.
The hearing panel also noted that his initial impulse to lie about his actions deems him untrustworthy by stating this, "nullifies any implied presumption of good moral character."
It is my belief based on information gathered that people should stay away from Eddie Petrossian
or any company he works for or you could get caught up in his illegal actions.

Untrue allegations and personal attacks
AUTHOR: Eddie Petrossian - ()
SUBMITTED: Sunday, October 06, 2013POSTED: Sunday, October 06, 2013
It has come to my attention that the same person seems to be posting personal attacks against myself under different names and under different Provinces. These allegations and accusations are only personal attacks against me as I am employed in a very tough industry-Credit & Collections. Noone likes to get collection calls, but personalizing their personal financial problems and blaming others is also not right. Instead of dealing with their debts, these debtors begin to blame others and make personal attacks in the hopes that they can "get back" at those that do their job.
These allegations are all untrue and are simply personal attacks against my character and company and position as legal account Manager with GCSI.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 3D will be presented in IMAX 4K LASER DIGITAL
For one bustling Manhattan apartment building, the real day starts after the folks on two legs leave for work and school. That's when the pets of every stripe, fur and feather begin their own nine-to-five routine: hanging out with each other, trading humiliating stories about their owners, or auditioning adorable looks to get better snacks.
The building's top dog, Max, a quick-witted terrier rescue who's convinced he sits at the center of his owner's universe, finds his pampered life rocked when she brings home Duke, a sloppy, massive mess of a mongrel with zero interpersonal skills. When this reluctant canine duo finds themselves out on the mean streets of New York, they have to set aside their differences and unite against a fluffy-yet-cunning bunny named Snowball, who's building an army of Ex-Pets abandoned by their owners and out to turn the tables on humanity…all before dinnertime.
The IMAX release of The Secret Life of Pets will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of An IMAX 3D Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.

Rated 4 out of 5 by coachskip from Great fit / Quality product I have only had this on the car for a week. The fit is still a little too tight and some of the tabs slip out but I know once it loosens up that problem should go away. I did lay it out in 90 degree sun for 45 minutes before I installed it. This product is do much nicer than the cheap bras and is worth the extra money.

EMC caused me to lose my home and made my credit score drop , when I first received my loan for my home, the payment was under $500 a month , the last payment I made was $719 a month. I called EMC and told them that the payment was to high and they did not try to work anything out, EMC then foreclosed on the house and started sending me bills and letters. The Federal Trade Commission filled a law suite for unfair loan and collection practices. EMC lost. I have received 3 payments so far totaling less than $1600 but I still lost my house. I lost my house April 2006 they sold the house in 2007 to someone else, I found out today that EMC moved my foreclosure date to Dec 2009 . How can they do this? EMC is very underhanded and has hurt many people. Something needs to be done! Stop this Now. I am now seeking legal help at this point. Please do not have anything to do with this company, It will end up badly for you. I feel that EMC is one of the big reason that the housing industry is in the shape it is in now. Sense I had dealings with EMC I can not get a home loan. They have hurt me badly.

AUTHOR: nrsrchd - (United States of America)

The best way to seek your remedy is with an audit. An audit will stop any foreclosure proceeding. Now that you also have won a lawsuit that adds weight to your situation. he audit will be state and local municipality specific. Once that is done a RESPA letter asking for more information will be created or a Letter to rescind. The letter to rescind will return all monies paid in and start over. Then you add the cost of violations and other legal/audit fees to the amount paid back to the home owner and see if they are greater than the cost of the home. If so, they owe the home owner, if not you renegotiate the difference at a really low rate, say 1%, because by now they know you know how to catch their fraud and they will make sure the paper work is done right this time.
The litigation support paper work will provide him with all he needs to adjudicate your case. These audits are created by lawyer for lawyers and the judge will appreciate such a thorough job as will the lawyer. You can have him work by the hour or on contingency which ever way you can work it out since nearly all the work is complete. That paper work will include all the case law and laws violated. This company even has a radio show which has links to it at the top of the home page. They are on two networks, (((Redacted)))with archives available and (((Redacted))). The rule of law network has them talking with a client who has a rescission letter on the Dec 3 and 17 shows and he goes over some of the 17 violations, 11 of which were rescindable. It only takes one to rescind a mortgage. Now lets take this nation back one home at a time.

Lens for dust conditions
I recently purchased a D1X and within a week I had the CCD covered in dust
I have already had it cleaned twice by Nikon in Torrance ( by the way they are very good about it they cleaned it while I waited and they did not charge me a penny). They told me it was my lenses I was using 28-80 f/3.5-5.6D- I can understand why dust could get in though that, and I also have a 70-300 f/4-5.6 D a little better lens but still not so hot when it comes to dust control.
So I am wondering if anyone could tell me of a good semi dust proof zoom lens I could get.
I am getting crazy not being able to use my new camera, It is so far the best camera I have ever used but also the worst because of the dust issue- sometimes I kinda feel like I should go back to shooting slide film, it's easier to clean the dust off.
Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

#3. "RE: Lens for dust conditions" | In response to Reply # 0
Briefly, fixed lenses will not cause a lot of dust intake. All telescoping lenses, where the rear elements go into the barrel (away from the CCD), are going to attract and let in dust. So, naturally, the more you use them, the greater the build-up will occur - even if you have sterile, pristine conditions.
This may be very unfashionable, but, I wrap my zooms with plastic, snug enough to seal the seams, and just loose enough to allow it to function. Until Nikon comes up with a better solution, this really helps keep dust to a minimum.
Best of luck,

Bruins/Lightning Game 2 Live Blog: Tyler Seguin has four-points, B's lead 6-5 in third
|05.17.11 at 7:36 pm ET
Join DJ Bean, Mike Petraglia, Rob Bradford, Joey the Fish, and a cast of others as the B's look to even the Eastern Conference finals in Game 2 vs. the Lightning.
Marc Savard to attend Game 2
|05.17.11 at 7:04 pm ET
Bruins center Marc Savard will be at Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals between the B's and Lightning, marking his first return to TD Garden since being shut down for the season on Feb. 7.
Savard is dealing with post-concussion syndrome following a clean hit from former teammate Matt Hunwick on Jan. 22 in Colorado. Since being shut down for the regular season and playoffs, Savard has stayed at home in Peterborough, Ontario. The 33-year-old had two goals and eight assists for 10 points in 25 games this year. He began the season on long-term injured reserve due to PCS from the hit he took last March 7 from Penguins forward Matt Cooke.
Savard will not be available to the media.
Lightning remain without Pavel Kubina
|05.17.11 at 2:57 pm ET
While the Bruins anxiously await the return of a concussed player in Patrice Bergeron, the Lightning seem a bit farther away from seeing Pavel Kubina back in their lineup. Kubina, who suffered a head injury in Game 1 of the conference semifinals vs. the Capitals, still is not with the team and doesn't seem on the fast-track to return to action
"He's not with us. He's not even here, so the update is not very good," Guy Boucher said when asked for an update on Kubina. "Every day when there seems to be a little progression, it kind of slips back a bit. So it's kind of an injury that you never know.
"You wake up the next day and everything's great or just keeps on going the same way so it's very hard to monitor what's going on with him. But obviously we're missing him. He's got size. He's got some offensive abilities on our second power play, he made a big difference on it.
But right now we've adapted. Bergeron's kind of taken the lead on that power play with Purcell. And we had to adapt because he was doing very well for us."
Kubina had two power play goals and an assist for the Lightning before suffering the injury. He had dour goals and 19 assists for 23 points during the regular season.
Steven Kampfer 'definitely' ready if needed by Bruins
|05.17.11 at 1:15 pm ET
As Tomas Kaberle continues to struggle, the Bruins could be getting closer to having a viable option (and one who has fared well against the Lightning) to threaten his ice time.
Defenseman Steven Kampfer, who suffered a knee injury late in the regular season while getting some playing time in Providence, told WEEI.com Tuesday that he is "definitely" ready to return to the lineup if need be. Kampfer, 22, has spent extra time out on the ice as he works to get his back into tip-top shape.
"I feel ready to go," Kampfer said Tuesday. "It's something that I talked about with the trainers the other day. If something happens, I definitely feel ready to go. It's those extra couple skates that are definitely going to help."
In the three games in which the B's have had to go without one of their six regulars this postseason — Game 2 of the conference quarterfinals for Zdeno Chara and Games 3 and 4 of the semifinals for Adam McQuaid — Shane Hnidy has played, but has done so sparingly.
Coach Claude Julien has said multiple times recently that Kampfer is healthy, but that his conditioning as he returns to skating remains what separates him from being an option if needed. He barely strayed from that line Tuesday, saying Kampfer is "still working on his conditioning, but certainly getting close."
Kampfer admitted that his conditioning remains a process, but that the extra work he's put in has gotten to a point where he'd be comfortable returning to the lineup.
"When you don't skate for a month, it definitely takes a while to get your conditioning back," Kampfer said. "You can ride the bike, you can do things like that, but skating condition is different than a bike and everything like that. We've been doing a little extra work here and there, and a couple more extra skating sessions is definitely going to help."
While it would seemingly take an injury for Kampfer to make his postseason debut, the idea of him putting a little pressure on Kaberle should be considered out of the question. Kaberle was awful in Game 1, and throughout the playoffs has been a disappointment for the Bruins. A good puck-moving defenseman is an asset against a team like the Lightning, but the only notable moving of a puck by Kaberle in Game 1 came on his turnover behind his own net to lead to a goal, and his confusing slap shot into the corner on the power play in the second period.
If Kaberle keeps putting up stinkers for 15-plus minutes a night, maybe it would be worth it to give the kid a chance. Call it the defensive version of the Tyler Seguin/Michael Ryder lineup spot argument, but Kampfer has performed at his best against Tampa, scoring two of his five goals this season against the Lightning. His speed and passing ability matches up well against a team that shows different looks in the neutral zone as well.
"It definitely fits my style when you play a team that I guess plays a 1-3-1," Kampfer said of Guy Boucher's neutral zone forecheck. "You move your feet and you can skate through it, but that's something our whole team can do. Everyone here is quick and everyone can make passes. It's something that we've got to [do] tonight and the rest of the series."
Though Kampfer had goals against the Lightning on Dec. 28 (his first career tally) and March 3, he said he doesn't look at the Tampa matchup and think of how he can change the series. As he waits for his time, he has confidence in the guys out there.
"Anyone can make a difference in this series," he said. "It's just how you play and how you take the game plan to them. It's something that we talked about this morning, is how our team's going to play. We have our system that we're going to stick to. I think everyone has had success against this team, and I think everyone here knows how to play."
When Kampfer actually returns to game action for the Bruins remains unknown. If it's this series, next series or next season, he'll be ready to continue working off a rookie campaign that had its ups (the Tampa games, nine games of 20 minutes or more in 38 contests) and the downs (the disastrous ending to the March 17 game in which a misplay and a bad penalty cost the team the game and cost him his spot in the lineup) of his rookie campaign.
If Kaberle continues to struggle though, maybe it's worth rolling the dice. Yes, Kaberle was a costly acquisition, but the Bruin showed in Games 3 and 4 of the second round that they can win without putting him out there. It's crazy to think, but it's not out of the question. A combination of more duds from Kaberle and a ready-to-go Kampfer could put a bit more pressure on the 33-year-old, if it isn't there already.
Claude Julien won't say whether Patrice Bergeron is in, says Milan Lucic is fine
|05.17.11 at 12:00 pm ET
The Bruins had only two absences for their morning skate Tuesday, with forwards Mark Recchi and Milan Lucic the only players to miss the skate. Recchi does not take part in postseason morning skates, while Lucic could have been given the morning off due to a shot off the foot he took from Tyler Seguin on Monday.
Coach Claude Julien noted after practice that there was nothing to worry about with Lucic, and offered very little on the status of Patrice Bergeron, who was on the ice Tuesday morning but will reportedly miss Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals due to the concussion from which he is still recovering.
"As far as Bergeron is concerned, I think if he's in, you're going to see him in the warmups," Julien said. "With Lucic, there is no issues there are all."
Bergeron has two goals and 10 assists this postseason for a team-leading 12 points in 11 games. Lucic, who led the team with 30 goals in the regular season, has two goals and three assists for five points.
Report: Patrice Bergeron out for Game 2
|05.17.11 at 10:23 am ET
Bruins center Patrice Bergeron will not play in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Lightning Tuesday night, according to the Boston Globe. Bergeron has been out with a concussion since leaving Game 4 of the conference semifinals following a hit from Philadelphia's Claude Giroux.
Bergeron began skating on Sunday, and has skated each day since. He has not been cleared for contact yet, which was made evident by his leaving Monday's practice (his first with the team since suffering the concussion) early.
Bruins-Lightning Game 2 preview
|05.17.11 at 2:07 am ET
Twos are wild as the Bruins take on the Lightning in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals Tuesday night. The B's are looking to knot the series at one game apiece before it moves to Tampa for Games 3 and 4, and they'll need to correct some costly mistakes that doomed them in Game 1.
With the number two in mind, here's a preview of the contest:
Two things the Bruins need to do:
– Go back to winning 5-on-5. The excuse for the Bruins amidst their power play's horrid 2-for-41 playoff showing is that they were playing dominant 5-on-5 hockey to make up for it. It was an argument that was clearly backed up by their ability to advance through two rounds, but the B's gave Game 1 away with both teams at even strength, letting the Lightning score three goals ' two of which were unassisted ' in a matter of 1:25. The Lightning did score a power play goal in the third period, but it was the ugly first period that lost the Bruins the game.
The Bruins have clearly been the best 5-on-5 team throughout the playoffs. Their 33 goals for lead all remaining teams, while the 16 goals they have allowed is the lowest total among the last four teams. They just cam't let those numbers take hit like they did Saturday, because for a team whose power play is a non-factor, they have to make sure they do all the damage they can at even strength.
– Know which Tomas Kaberle shows up, and adjust accordingly. Yes, this is coming from the same person who noted Kaberle's skills could help them in this series, and while they still can, the 33-year-old proved to be nothing but a liability (again) in Game 1. The Bruins limited his minutes significantly (13:20 and 13:15, respectively; the his lowest totals of the last five seasons) in Gmaes 3 and 4 of the Philadelphia series and were still able to win, so 17:29 for a guy who committed as bad a turnover as one could in Game 1 Saturday was excessive. Putting Kaberle on a tighter leash means more minutes for other guys, but they were able to pull it off twice last series. If Kaberle is going to cost them, he can't be out there as much.
Two crazy numbers:
– Steven Stamkos led the Lightning with 297 shots on goal in the regular season, yet Game 1 was the second game this postseason in which he failed to put a puck on net. The Lightning went 4-3-0 in the regular season when Stamkos didn't register a shot on goal, while they lost the other playoff game in which he put up a goose egg.
The playoff leader in shots on goal remains James van Riemsdyk, and it will likely be at least a couple games before he is surpassed. With 70 through two rounds, he leads the field by nine shots.
– Mark Recchi's 20:02 of ice time made Saturday the first time in a while that he led Bruins forwards in time on ice. He did not do so at all during the regular season, and you would have to go back to Jan. 19, 2010 to find the last time he did. He led B's forwards in ice time on three occasions that season, including the first time Winter Classic.
Two key players:
– Patrice Bergeron: Guy Boucher keeps saying he's expecting the concussed center to be in the Bruins' lineup Tuesday, and if the Lightning coach is proven right, the Bruins will win the 'best media deception' award. From what we've seen, he's skated only three times and he hasn't taken contact. Unless he's doing something we're not seeing, it's hard to imagine the B's rushing him back.
– Sean Bergenheim: Nobody planned on having to account for Bergenheim in the playoffs, but so far, nobody has been able to stop him. After scoring just 14 regular-season goals, the third-line winger added to his league leading playoff total Saturday with his eighth goal of the postseason.
