TCR Friday Notes
...Friday's game thread is below...
- As you've probably heard by now, the Cubs received 25-year old outfielder/first basemen Doug Deeds from the Twins today as the PTBNL in the Craig Monroe deal. A ninth-round selection of the Twins in 2002, the lefty was an honorable mention on John Sickels top 20 Twins prospects before 2007, but didn't make the cut in 2008 after a rough year in AAA. His scouting report on Scout.com before the 2007 season sure had some encourging notes:
Deeds is one of the more polished hitters in
the Twins' organization, and each year he seems to grow at the plate.
He has the ability to hit to all fields, and has shown the ability to
hit at every level he has played at during his Minor League career.
Deeds is a great defensive outfielder, and
should have a future as an everyday corner outfielder in some
organization, hopefully the Twins. He makes all the plays in right
field, and has a tremendous arm that enables him to scare potential
base runners from advancing a base. He uses good closing speed to get
to balls that most outfielders do not get to, and has had his fair
share of outfield assists throughout his Minor League career.
His career line is still a solid 291/374/463 and hopefully a change of scenery will benefit him. I imagine he'll be headed Mike Wellman's way and on to Iowa.
- I don't care to read too much into Lou's quick trigger with Rich Hill yesterday, even if Lou is hinting that Hill better straighen it out soon. He seemed set on wanting to start the righty Jason Marquis as is, and I think Hill just gave him an excuse with his lack of control to get Jon Lieber in there as soon as possible. As for Felix Pie, let's say I wouldn't be too surprised if he gets sent down soon and Matt Murton gets called up. Reed Johnson would take over full-time CF duties, Murton would roam the outfield and Kosuke would probably be the CF backup, much like he's doing tonight.
Personally, I think 23 plate appearances isn't enough to judge a 23-year old kid. I do think that if Lou wasn't on board with giving Pie a legit shot to play through some early struggles, he should have been traded this offseason for someone Lou would play...like that Brian Roberts character we heard so much about.
- We had a couple lists this week of the All-time greatest Cubs killers. I can't get the spreadsheet that "Big_Lowitzki" gave me to import into google docs to give you the full results, but here's the bottom 10 with at least 350 PA's versus the Cubs.
|OPS vs. Cubs
|Career OPS
|Will Clark
|Barry Bonds
|Mike Piazza
|Lance Berkman
|Reggie Sanders
|Dary Spencer
|Ryan Klesko
|Tom Haller
|Albert Pujols
|Darrel Evans
As reader "Chad" noted in the commments, we've owned Pujols to a tune of a .945 OPS. I'll see if I can put up some proper pitchers lists in the near future, which some of you started in the comments already.
- There was some brief talk about Korean Cubs pitching prospect Dae-Eun Rhee yesterday in the comments. That reminded me of an email I received earlier in the week from a guy who runs a website called the East Windup Chronicle. He's recently been hired by the Cubs as a scout in Korea, and although he can't discuss the players the Cubs are targeting, he does do write-ups on players after they've signed. One such player is Dae-Eun Rhee and here's a little excerpt:
He's listed as 6′2 and 195 lbs, which is 10 lbs. heavier than his
signing weight. He throws right-handed and his birthdate is 3/23/89.
What makes the team really excited about this kid is the fact that he's
already throwing three pitches well and is working on a fourth. His
best pitch is a tailing four-seam fastball that usually comes in
between 87-93 MPH. He can locate it to both sides of the plate and has
very good control overall. He throws a well-developed 11/5 curve that
drops as low as 73 and a less-developed splitter in the 77-82 range.
The fourth pitch is a power slider.
You can also find his site in our TCR Blogroll under the prospects section.
- It seems our Cubs Injury Calendar corrected itself when I updated Scott Eyre's entry. It use to duplicate the entries once you tried to navigate the calendar. Chalk it up to Google weirdness.
- Some site updates you may have noticed over the last few weeks: Added a Cubs schedule widget to the right sidebar, updated the "Quick Links" in the left sidebar and added a "TCR Approved" Amazon affiliate store of personally endorsed products by the TCR writers. Plus some social bookmarking links on the bottom of each post for BallHype, Digg and Stumble that help promote the site.
.- The TLFC and TCR have a little bet for the season. Seems TLFC thinks Ryan Braun is going to repeat his monster 2007 campaign, while I'm a bit skeptical. We set the bar at 35 HR's and a 925 OPS. I say he reaches neither and TLFC says he'll hit both or above. If he reaches one, but not the other, it's a tie. The stakes: TLFC gets to take over TCR for the day if Braun does hit 35 or more home runs and has a 925 OPS or higher. TCR gets a black TLFC cap and clock from his Cafepress store if Braun is unable to reach both goals.
- You may have noticed the Rotohog link at the top right of the page. They tell me there's a Cubs league you can join now as well. It's free to create a team and they offer all sorts of prizes (and we get some kickback for any teams that sign through that link).
- Speaking of kickback, don't forget about our TCR April Pledge Drive, even if GROTA doesn't care for the idea. I promised an update each Friday and so far we've received 18 donations for a total of $411.30. A good average, but a bit short of our hopeful, if not realistic goal (100-$2000). I would be thrilled with about $800, which would at least cover our startup costs and I could pay our writers back. And thanks to all that have donated so far.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
i dunno crap about the kid, but...a AAA corner OF/1st who's near the end of his minor league eligibility years? couldnt go for some A/AA kid...meh...
Re: TCR Friday Notes
i dont care much for braun and having TLFC win would mean MIL is doing better than it could be doing...
go braun. start working on the new TCR graphics. i vote ted lilly with an animated gif flaming skull. that would be bitchin. k-rad...
Re: TCR Friday Notes
If the Cubs don't add him to their 40-man roster by the end of the World Series, Doug Deeds will be a six-year minor league FA after this season.
Like Josh Kroeger, Deeds destroyed AA pitching, but has struggled to hit at AAA.
While Deeds might end up at Iowa (where he would temporarily replace the injured Micah Hoffpauir at 1B) he could also end up at AA Tennessee, where Smokies 1B Matt Craig is also on the DL.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
The shame about Pie is that he might be the right player to be the Cubs CF, and is here at exactly the wrong time. This is a team with a manager and leadership that has bigger plans than just winning the Central division. Rob is right that they should have traded him before spring training for Roberts if that would have gotten the deal done. None of us really know what the O's were looking for then or now or if the Cubs even have the 'right package'.
What is obvious is that Lou isn't a Pie fan (unless he was hitting about .285+), and Hendry is a fan. From all his minor league history, Pie takes some time to get adjusted to every new league then brings his numbers up over the last 60-80 games. Lou isn't going to give him that much time in a season where the Cubs are favored to make the playoffs. Johnson has succeeded in at least winning platoon status with Pie, and Pie isn't a player that's going to progress to the point where he's a valued starter getting only 2-3 starts a week.
The one offensive need the Cubs have is for a leadoff hitter that could put up numbers like Roberts. I have to believe (or hope) Hendry is still working to make that deal. In the meantime, I would rather the Cubs bring up EPat for the LH bat in CF versus RHP that would be tough on Johnson.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Hard to believe Will Clark wasn't a cub killer - he was in the 89 playoffs that's for sure.
Rich Hill is in the bullpen as of tonight, according to cubs.com. While I know Hill has been struggling through spring training and the season, it's not like Ted Lilly has been lights out either. Between Hill and Pie, I'm starting to wonder how strong Lou's Dusty-like veteran favoritism tendencies are.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I guess Lou playing a bunch of rookies and young players last year doesn't count? Without Lou, Marmol, Theriot, Fontenot, and Soto, to name a few, would probably be in AAA with no major league success under their belt.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Right now Lou couldn't manage his way out of a wet paper bag.....
* Ruin Pie by not playing him
* Distroy Pie's trade value by playing him in 4 games and sitting him on the bench
* Weaken the outfield defense by playing Ward in right and Fukudome in Center
Sorry Ward - I know you haven't played rightfield in 3 weeks, but you are a very good pitch-hitter who couldn't catch that ball going over your head if you played right three weeks in a row.
* Over pitch Zambrano (107 pitches)on a night you (Lou) admitted he didn't have his good stuff.
Who is responsible for player "development" - not Lou.
I hope I am wrong, but Lou is pigheaded and the game has passed him by.....
Re: TCR Friday Notes
You, sir, are pretty short-sighted here.
1. There is no evidence that Pie is being "ruined". When a player cannot hit major league hitting, and another player on the roster can, guess what dude? Pie STILL has value as a defensive whiz and will get playing time.
2. Did you mean "destroy"? If you meant destroy Pie's trade value - do you not think all of the GM's already know that Pie is "hitting-challenged", now?!
3. PH specialists HAVE to see some game experience. Whether it is in game 12 or 37 - ALL managers will try to get some time for their bench players so they can see some "real" pitching.
4. 107 Pitches to Carlos Zambrano is not "overpitching" him.
I think that Lou is not perfect, but I and many professional writers, GM's, players, etc., have seen him change the culture of LOSING on the North Side to one of winning. He today, STILL, is onf of the top 5-6 in baseball.
Perhaps you'd want to become a Reds fan and follow the Great Dusty Baker around?
Re: TCR Friday Notes
"major league hitting" = major league PITCHING
Re: TCR Friday Notes
...and you think his trade value has increased by the way Lou has handled Pie? - NO!
Pie is our player, if we don't give him a chance to play - it is our loss.
Don't get me wrong Johnson is a nice 4th or 5th outfielder who should not start against RH pitching. He doesn't bring close to the outfield defense what Pie does. I would bet that given a chance (+200 AB) Pie will be a better hitter that Johnson - overall.
Oh yea - you're right, there were lots of teams looking for Johnson when he was CUT from the BlueJays. Teams were falling over themselfs to get him - as a starting centerfielder!!!
With Pie in center and Fukudome in right - it would have been a different game last night.
But lets not forget, Ward added a great offensive punch last night - 4 ground balls to the right side of the infield.
107 pitches is too many when your pitcher is losing and he doesn't have his stuff.
and don't even get me started with how Lou is handling Rich Hill!!!!
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I'm not sure I follow part of this logic:
Play Pie even if he is not hitting; but Lou should not have played Ward because he went 0-4??
If your own arugment holds about playing Pie so he will do well over the long run, then you have to agree to play Ward once in a while so he keeps his stroke and gets pinch hits for us over the long run.
Also, on Johnson: the Mets, Red Sox, Rays, and Rangers were all rumored to be interested in him when he got released. His career line in over 2,000 at-bats is: .282 .344 .410. In 200 at-bats so far Pie is .211 .265 .317. Now I like Pie a lot, but to just simply assume that Pie would out-produce Johnson given 200+ at-bats is a tenuous proposition.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Pie should either play or not be on the major league roster - period. If he is going to be on the major league roster than give him quality playing time - time to grow into a major league hitter. He is not going to do anything for the team sitting on the bench. Is it me or is Pie the FIRST player in major league history who has not hit over 300 in his first 100 major league at bats?
Yes - other teams were lokking at Johnson, but not as a STARTING centerfielder on a playoff team?
Mets - corner outfielder / injury replacement
Red Sox - 4th outfielder
Rays - not a play off team
Rangers - 4th outfielder and not a playoff team
Ward does not belong in RIGHTFIELD. Yes - as a pitchhitter Ward needs at bats, but not at the expense of losing a game with his defense (which he did)!
Sweet Lou said Fukudome is getting tonight off - against a LH Starting pitcher. So do we get Johnson in center and Ward in right? Great outfield defense!!!
Although I am looking forward to another four ground balls to the rightside of the infield - which is ONLY good when there is a man on second with no one out....
Poor Lilly.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
derosa in RF, cedeno 2nd i'd bet...that's lou style.
could be anything...
Re: TCR Friday Notes
First, to blame an entire loss on Ward's defense is stupid. Baseball is far more complicated than that.
Second, how many PLAYOFF teams have a STARTING center fielder with a career average of .215??? Playoff contending teams have good, proven center fielders. We didn't, so we picked up Johnson.
No, Pie is not the first player to fail hit .300 in his first 100 major league at-bats. But he is also not the first player who to hit .215 in his first 200 at-bats and then, again not surprisingly, find himself not always starting. This particularly happens on playoff contending teams where the fourth outfielder is a career .285 hitter in the big leagues and also plays sound defense. If Ellsbury hadn't hit .353 last year then he would have been benched or sent down too.
And this whole argument about what Ward did at the plate is just plain dumb. So if he had gone 4-4 with 4 homers it would have been ok? I guess Lou forgot to look into the future before yesterday's game.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Ward misplayed a flyball in RF that caused a run to score... The fly ball turned into two runs - the Cubs lost by two runs 5-3. Without that misplay in RF - it is a different ballgame.
Now maybe if Ward had provided some (OK - any offense)last night his defensive difficulties could be over looked.
The Cubs have not been a good defensive team so far this year - Lou doesn't need to compound their defensive problems by playing Ward in RF.
Ward does not belong in RF.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
We just won 5 games in a row and you're complaining a guy hitting .200 and looks lost at the plate isn't starting? Pie's trade value is not being ruined, other teams knew he couldn't hit lefties and he had an extended look last year, if you forget, in which he looked like crap then.
Everyone would like to see Pie get established, but it's hard to do when he's not hitting and you're trying to win games. I'll take winning the division over trying to establish a player who may or may not become an average starter.
As for Ward, I'm not trying to pick on you, but you do know that pinch hitters need to start a game every now and then to help keep their timing sharp? Most teams, ideally, start their bench players at least once a week. Ward has 1 start in 8 games. If you want and expect Ward, Fontenot, Cedeno, Johnson/Pie, and Blanco to stay sharp they need to start once in a while. Ward's a good hitter, and Johnson historically can't hit righties that well, especially tough righties like Myers from last night. And Pie just plain blows right now. He swings at anything 6-10 inches inside. He has no knowledge of the strike zone.
As for Zambrano, 107 pitches isn't overusing him. And it's not like he was hurt. He didn't have his good stuff. Maybe you didn't want the bullpen get overworked the previous 3 games in Pittsburgh and understand the team needed a starter to step up and give them 6-7 innings.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
ward starting is one thing...ward in RF is another.
at least with lou we dont gotta hear every move of his dissected. god knows he's already made a few moves (including wasting a player announcing a switch before a pitching changing using 3 players instead of 2 in a game that became extra innings) that would have been jumped on for 100 posts by the dusty hive-mind.
every manager is gonna do a LOT of thing people consider "stupid".
More Voice of reasons
"Pie's trade value is not being ruined, other teams knew he couldn't hit lefties and he had an extended look last year, if you forget, in which he looked like crap then."
THANK YOU!! My point exactly as previously stated. "LOUD SUSTAINED APPLAUSE"
The dude has no clue...just like trying to bang your head against a brick wall...
Re: TCR Friday Notes
In the sixth, Ryan Howard opened with a double. Burrell followed with a double over the head of Ward in right.
"What can I say?" Ward said. "I'm doing the best that I can. It's been three weeks that I've been in right field. It's tough getting good jumps being that long. There's not really any excuses. I gave it my best effort the ball, and it was over my head."
Re: Burrell followed with a double over the head of Ward in righ
Elsewhere, Brian Giles let a ball go over his head in right. In fact, it nearly hit him in the head. (he made a nice play to avoid it)
What is San Diego thinking? Bench him.
Re: Burrell followed with a double over the head of Ward in righ
d.ward was a horrible OF'r in Houston and nothing's changed.
the only thing he has is an average arm. he's slow, his ball tracking skills are awful, and the OF in PHI isn't a small place to patrol.
even in his youth (and many lbs. ago) he was a bad OF'r...he's the type of guy you stick in LF in fenway.
ultimately it doesnt matter THAT much cuz its just a handful of games he should play there (hopefully). still, he's a pretty cruddy choice for an OF slot, much less a big OF...and RF, damn...
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Gavin Floyd had no hitter through 7 1/3.
I 8th Hawk announced the stats for the game he didn't want to announce that the Tigers had no hits but he did.
Edgar Rentaria promptly hit the next pitch into right center.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
100 pitches is pretty normal for any pitcher in the league. I dont know what the hell this guy is talking about with Z being overworked last night. Say what?!??!
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Okay - not overworked is too tough of a term, but waisted!!! Zambrano normally throws over 100 a game, but Lou waisted it last night and should have cut his loses.
But Id perfer not to have Zambrano go over 100 in a game he doesn't have his best stuff and has already lost it mentally. By the sixth inning, lets save the arm for a game that wasn't already thrown away by the manager.....
My main arguement is that Lou is sailing this ship as a pigheaded captain. If the manager and GM aren't going to be on the same page - the team is not going to develop or win.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I have a really hard time getting on board with this argument. Our bullpen just got worked to death in the Pittsburgh series. There's still another 2+ games until the next off day. There's absolutely no reason to trot Marshall, Lieber, or anybody else out there for 2+ innings just so you can save Z 20 pitches. That's dumb.
And you're right about our pigheaded captain sinking the ship. Finished above .500 last year. Above .500 right now. Lou IS KILLING US. Come on, dude. Seriously.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Right now Lou couldn't manage his way out of a wet paper bag.....
* Ruin Pie by not playing him
* Distroy Pie's trade value by playing him in 4 games and sitting him on the bench
lol... biggest thing lowering Pie's trade value is Pie, but I'm sure everyone knows my feelings on him already so I'll just leave it at that.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
The San Francisco Giants' starting lineup today:
Fred Lewis
Eugenio Vélez
Randy Winn
Bengie Molina
José Castillo
John Bowker
Dan Ortmeier
Brian Bocock
I bet Matt Cain's pissed.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
There's no reason to put Ward in RF tonight. As Crunch said, DeRosa could easily spell Fukudome tonight.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
9th inning, two out, runner in scoring position, SF trailing StL by a run and PUJOLS lets a ball roll right through his legs.
Tie game.
Very un-Pujolsian even though the scorer has it down as a hit.
We'll have an extra inning ball game today in SF.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Hey - Hows that allstar reed johnson doing in center tonight?
0-4 with 2 K's.....
Re: TCR Friday Notes
You forgot to mention the very nice play in center on a deep fly ball over his head toward the right-center angle in the wall. He got a really nice break on the ball and hauled it in.
Being the outfielding afficianado that you are, I thought you'd be sure to notice that.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Joe - it was a nice play.
I just didn't think we were taking outfield defense into account.
Im swimming against the current here - stating that Ward should not be in RF to keep is bat warm.
I don't think there is a question over who is a better defensive outfielder between Johnson and Pie.
Pie should be in there for his defense and to either hit is way on or off the major league roster.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
If Pie keeps hitting .182, his defense won't make up for his abysmal offense.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
But he isn't going to get a chance to improve his batting average sitting on the bench. There is NO reason he shouldn't be playing against most if not all RH startig pitchers.
Although I suspect two of the reasons are Solarino hitting under 200 and Ramirez hitting under 250 (although he has had some timely HRs).
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Heh... I love when people attack a player for having a bad game. And hopefully you do realize that even after Johnson's 0-4, he still has significantly better numbers than Pie so far.
So if you want to play silly and ridiculous sample size games, I can do the same.
Fukudome sucks, being that he hasn't had a hit in his last 8 at-bats.
Johnson is obviously better than Pie, being that Johnson has such better numbers this year.
DeRosa is better than ARam.
Dempster is one of the top five starters in baseball.
Should I go on?

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!

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.

President Barack Obama's "Cairo II" speech yesterday may have complicated life for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), whose annual policy conference he will keynote on Sunday.
In his speech at the State Department, Obama advocated an Israeli-Palestinian agreement with borders "based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states."
That reflects what has been implicit in U.S. policy for a long time, but the language about the 1967 borders is new – and opponents of Palestinian statehood and of active U.S. involvement in pushing both sides to the table are predictably incensed.
The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has called on AIPAC to rescind its invitation to Obama – like that's going to happen – because of his speech "promoting and supporting the establishment of a Hamas/Fatah/Iran terrorist state on the Auschwitz 1967 indefensible armistice lines."
I'll say this for ZOA: its leaders pack a lot of rhetorical bombs into a single sentence. (The Simon Wiesenthal Center, in a statement, used similar language).
The ZOA position reflects a real problem for AIPAC: how to control a faction in the convention hall that regards Obama's speech as a virtual declaration of war against the kind of Jewish state they want.
Politico reported the other day that as before previous policy conferences, AIPAC sent out an email to delegates saying the group's goal is to "have every speaker, honored guest, member of Congress, Senator, and administration official who joins us feel that we have done everything we can to extend our hand in friendship."
Even before the speech, there was great concern at AIPAC HQ that Obama would provoke some less- than-friendly responses. You can bet that concern has been redoubled since yesterday.
It seems to me that Obama speech didn't really change anything, policy wise. Using that language – the 1967 borders – was undoubtedly meant as a strong signal to the Arab and Muslim world that Washington is still serious about pressing for an Israeli-Palestinian agreement, and a signal to Netanyahu on the eve of his Washington visit.
But yesterday's speech offered no clues about what the U.S. plan might be, which is why Jewish pro-peace process groups, while praising the speech, weren't very thrilled by it because they suspect there isn't one.
Still, it's a problem for AIPAC – whose goal isn't to support a particular ideological position in Israel (such as: no more land for peace) but to promote strong U.S.-Israel relations. You don't do that by embarrassing a president who offers to keynote your conference.
It's interesting that while ZOA went on a tear about the speech, the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee – both pretty much icons of the pro-Israel center – mostly praised it.
The AJC focused on Obama's comments about the recent Fatah-Hamas unity agreement:
"The president also stated clearly his concerns about the recent agreement between Fatah, the party of Palestinian President Abbas, and Hamas, which rules Gaza and has been designated by the U.S. and EU as a terrorist organization," the group said in a statement. "The president challenged Palestinian leaders to provide 'a credible answer' to the question of 'how can one negotiate with a party that has shown itself unwilling to recognize your right to exist.'"
ADL leaders called it a "compelling speech on the priorities for American policy in the Middle East" and said "We applaud his strong outlining of the principles which motivate that policy, including supporting the universal rights of free speech, equality and religious freedom, opposing the use of force and political repression, and promoting political and economic reforms."
The group also praised Obama's "clear articulation of the moral and strategic connections between America and Israel. We support the President's vision of a negotiated Israeli-Palestinian settlement with strong security provisions for Israel, and a non-militarized Palestinian state. We appreciate his direct rejection of a unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state and his understanding that the Hamas-Fatah agreement poses major problems for Israel."
Somehow I don't that's going to have much impact on those activists at the AIPAC conference on Sunday who see Obama's words about 1967 borders as a frontal attack against their vision of Israel.

It seems as if Obama got his views concerning Israel from Louis Farrakhan and Jeremiah Wright. It also is worth noting that Obama is the first Democratic President to not have a Jewish cabinet member since Harry Truman. In truth, Obama seems to have a problem with Jews.
He is the most hostile-sitting US Pres toward Israel in history. His rhetoric Thurs was no different then Yasser Arafat's. Tiny Israel is the only democracy in the Muslim world (1.6 bil people) whose citizens are free, whose scientists, inventors and physicians, are on the cutting edge, and have made numerous discoveries to slow down debilitating and often fatal diseases for the betterment of mankind. Her leadership in the field of technology is second to none. For this US Pres to condemn, lecture and disrespect our only ALLY in that huge and dangerous strategic neighborhood ad nauseam (two and a half years +) is an outrage. The 82+% of Jews voted for Obama, an individual with no paper trail of positive accomplishments disregarded his proven lack of knowledge of history and compassion for the Jewish people and the Jewish Homeland. There are profound challenges for Israel supporters and activists in the US and international community. Obama's 20+ years of practicing Islam (before jeremiah wright), and his uncanny ability to recite Koranic verses by heart, serve as the foundation of his non-stop mistreatment of Israel.
If he comes down wholly on the side of Israel due to historical and misguided bias then the status quo is only prolonged, and how's that working out? not very well is it! So in order to find resolution something needs to change, and Obama being the intelligent courageous person he is has decided to stick up for what is fair! Well done Obama!
unfortunately it seems as if Louis Farrakhan and Jeremiah Wright influenced him on this issue. It is also interesting to note that Obama is the first Democratic President since Truman to not have a Jew in his cabinet
The has come for the ADL to decide if they are a democratic organization or a Jewish organization. Their leadership has been unable to decern that some days you cannot be both.
I am so shocked, so simply shocked. I thought that Obama was pro-Israel. He said he was, didn't he? Wow, please don't tell me that the tooth fairy isn't real either, my poor heart will break into a million pieces.
Dear Mr. Besser,
The discomfort at AIPAC will not only be from ZOA folks. I am going to the AIPAC Policy Conference: I will not applaud for President Obama. While I'm unlikely to boo, icicles will be eminating from my soul to Mr. Obama's.
I suspect he'll have many thousands of such icicles to content with.
Bruce Birnberg
In light of President Obama's speech why in the world would any one who wants Israel to remain free ever vote for him or is party again. Clearly the Republican Party has been a far better friend to Israel than has the Democrat Party of Obama and Carter. It is time the Democrats learn not to take this block of voters for granted as they do African Americans! I hear lots of objections to Obama's speech by Republicans--where are are friends in the Democrat Party???
What is so frustrating, and scary, is that, still, so many Jews don't understand that Obama is no friend of Israel - never has been.
Of course AIPAC can not uninvite him (as much as that would also send a clear messege), however, members can express their response by not applauding for him when he enters. The chance of this happening: 0%
Netanyahu is putting many of the 70% of the American Jews who voted for President Obama in the last election and who support Israel (and a two-state solution) in a very uncomfortable position. Jeffrey Goldberg is no Philip Weiss or even Peter Beinart. He's right in the middle, maybe to the right of the middle and his post this morning: Dear Mr. Netanyahu, Please Don't Speak to My President That Way" is telling.

Photo Of The Week
Melanie Diane Gilmore embraces her brother for the very first time amidst family and news media outside the A Concourse.
Lambert-St. Louis International Airport was the backdrop for a very emotional moment Thursday, and a truly incredible family reunion. Melanie Diane Gilmore (left) is 50 years old, and for her entire life, her family didn't even know she was alive. Hours after giving birth, before even holding her child, Melanie's mother was told her baby had died. For reasons unknown, Melanie was then adopted by another family, and currently resides with her husband and three children in Oregon. It was her children who uncovered the unbelievable story, and actually found the long-lost family members on Facebook, living in St. Louis. This image captures the first time Melanie and her brother met. Happily, she and her mother reunited that evening.
The Missouri National Guard at Lambert removes 1968 F-4 Phantom from display on Tuesday.
Lots of folks are saying their goodbyes to the three historic fighter jets that have been proudly displayed for two decades outside of the Missouri National Guard at Lambert. Two of the iconic jets flew for the last time this week, and for those close to their heritage, it became a very emotional moment. This tactical fighter jet served in the Vietnam War, and is a legacy piece for the 131 Bomb Wing. The stars painted near the cockpit memorialize the aircraft's two confirmed enemy planes it brought down in combat. Even with most of the avionics removed, at 15 tons, it required a massive 100 ft. crane to lift the fighter jet from its display pedestal to an awaiting flatbed truck. All three jets will be dismantled and relocated to their final resting place in Whiteman Air Force Base Heritage Park. On Friday morning the F-100 was removed in similar fashion, and the F-15 will come down next week.
Jacqueline Taylor of Lambert's Business Diversity Development Office shares information at the Business Diversity Forum.
Crew of American Airlines' Boeing 787 Dreamliner chat underneath the plane as the sun rises at Lambert.
American Airlines is getting ready to launch their Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and Lambert has been a frequent stop during this period of training, testing, and certifications for the aircraft and crew as it prepares for its grand debut. Lambert has also been preparing for the new-age of aircraft that the Dreamliner ushers in. Lambert recently rehabbed two additional gates in the C Concourse; one being specifically equipped to accommodate the 787 for both scheduled, and unscheduled flights. This is the first Dreamliner for American Airlines, who begins passenger service in May out of Dallas/Fort Worth. This aircraft seats 242 passengers and has an impressive wingspan of 200 feet. It was a real treat this week when we were invited to see the Dreamliner up-close for the first time Monday morning and take photographs.
Lambert Airfield Maintenance repaints an airfield roadway sign in the warm weather.
We got a taste of spring weather in STL this week, and it felt amazing! Our Airfield Maintenance crews wasted no time in starting projects that were held-off by the winter weather. On Thursday, we caught Airfield Maintenance repainting one of Lambert's airfield vehicle roadway stop signs using a special sprayer. This type of roadway marking is not intended for aircraft, but for the many other automobiles that traverse the airfield. Signage in high frequency areas like these are to encourage vehicle safety and alertness while maneuvering around aircraft, and each other. The location of this project was just outside of the A Concourse.
American Airlines' Boeing 787 Dreamliner lands at Lambert Airport in view of Terminal 1.
We've had a lot of excited visitors and staff who have spotted American Airlines' brand new Boeing 787 Dreamliner making several surprise visits to Lambert this week. This is the first Dreamliner for American Airlines, and it has been making brief stops into Lambert while performing a series of test runs in preparation for its debut passenger flight on May 7 from Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) to Chicago (ORD). This aircraft will start flying daily between Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) and Beijing (PEK) on June 2, and begin flights between Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) and Buenos Aires (EZE) on June 4. With a wingspan of nearly 200 feet (the length of four semi-trucks parked end-to-end), this massive 242 passenger aircraft has been quite a sight to see!
A Delta jetliner is deiced during Thursday's winter snowfall.
Thursday morning, St. Louis was enveloped in beautiful snow flurries that lasted into the afternoon. People in the region were all bundled-up trying to stay warm and dry, and so were our planes here at Lambert! So, how DOES a giant aircraft stay warm and dry in winter weather? With a special deicing shower! To cover an entire jetliner quickly it requires 2-3 people at time, each on specialized hydraulic lifts. The spray is pressurized and heated, which causes billowing clouds of white steam as the hot spray hits the frozen air. The liquid itself is a dark orange color, which demarcates well on the aircraft. Depending on your view from the terminals, you may be able to catch a glimpse of this process next time you fly on a snowy day!
Two crew members fuel this American Eagle jet in freezing weather.
St. Louis has been extra cold and snowy this week with temperatures plummeting into the single digits. Here at Lambert we've got hundreds of incredible crew members who are out in the elements every day keeping our planes coming and going safely. Next time you're flying, take a look out our terminal windows and watch these teams work. It's fascinating! We spotted these two crew members bundled-up for the winter weather inspecting the fuel pump of an outbound American Eagle jetliner. Did you know that most passenger jets fuel-up through the wing? These under wing workers wear reflective gear and vivid, fluorescent vests to remain highly visible in varying weather conditions. We've got some great people taking care of our thousands of travelers each day, and whatever the weather, these crews are having a great time doing what they love.
Brenda Jones (center) accepting her Catch Us Giving prize of two airline tickets. With Michelle Hagan (left) and Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge (right).
We have thousands of team members who give their all every day to provide our guests with the very best Lambert experience. Each year, the public has the opportunity to nominate Lambert employees for the annual Catch Us Giving Awards for exceptional customer service. This week, Brenda Jones of HMSHost won two free airline tickets, presented by Air Choice One representative Michelle Hagan, and Lambert Airport Director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge. We just love how excited Brenda was to win! And she deserved it. Have YOU had an awesome customer service experience here at Lambert? Tell us! Just fill out a Catch Us Giving comment card located throughout the terminals.
Brothers Ashton and Aiden are glued to the window watching planes come and go at Lambert on Friday.
It's become a cliche kind of pic, a child glued to the window watching planes come and go. Now double that and you have the scene in Terminal 2 on Friday when 16-month-old Ashton and his 4-year old brother, Aiden, were watching all the fun stuff on the ramp at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. Both were wowed by the small planes and the big planes. Aiden just wanted to see if his plane was the one landing. They were headed to San Francisco with their family on Southwest Airlines. We love it when we see others take in the the wonder of aiports and flying. If it means we need a little extra window cleaner, all the better. We know in th end, its left a great impression. For years to come.
Avoid parking fees the next time you pick up a passenger. Lambert provides free waiting zones for motorists near each terminal.

About Jeff Smith
Jeff Smith (born February 27, 1960) is an American cartoonist, best known as the creator of the self-published comic book series BONE. Smith solidified the '90s' Self-Publishing Movement when he joined other self-publishers and launched a new era of independent comics publishing, a movement that captured nearly 20% of the growing comics book market. In 1993, Smith breathed new life into the Graphic Novel format with The Complete BONE Adventures Volume One: Out From Boneville, which sold an unprecedented 50,000 copies in its first year. BONE won numerous American awards including 10 Eisner Awards and 11 Harveys, as well as European awards from Italy, Germany, and the French Alph Art.
In 2005, BONE was chosen to launch the first graphic novel series for children from a major publishing house, Graphix, an imprint of Scholastic Books. There have been exhibitions of his work, and in 2009 Smith was the subject of an Emmy Award winning documentary called The Cartoonist: Jeff Smith, BONE, and the Changing Face of Comics. Later works include critically acclaimed SHAZAM: The Monster Society of Evil, and Little Mouse Gets Ready, a comic for emerging readers that received a Geisel Honor in 2009. In 2013, Smith guest edited The Best American Comics anthology, and released his second major work, RASL, a dark, hard-boiled sci-fi story that focuses on an art thief who hops through dimensional barriers, hiding out on various parallel worlds.

PORTSMOUTH -- On time and flawlessly, the center span of Memorial Bridge was sent on its way Wednesday, Feb. 15 about 12:30 p.m. to the Boston area to be recycled.
The center span was removed from the Memorial Bridge on Feb. 8 and has been sitting on the barge the Cape Cod which needed to be inspected by the Coast Guard, which happened yesterday.
Two tugboats were positioned to keep the barge in place before it left. One tug was attached to the outside corner of the barge closest to the bridge and acted as a pivot, bringing the barge out from its dock and into the river. The second barge then pulled up alongside as the barge was pointed toward the east and together, they effortlessly moved the Cape Cod out to sea.
Hundreds of people lined the pier in Prescott Park overlooking the bridge, watching the action, as has happened every step of the way during the bridge demolition process. It has become something of a community, said Dan MacLeod of New Castle.
"I've met so many people here, just talking," he said.
An amateur photographer, he said he got talking with a lobsterman, and will be going out with him one day to take pictures. "It wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been for the bridge," he said.
The barge is expected to be taken to an intermediate facility before it goes to one of two scrap yards in the Boston area, said Carol Morris, spokesperson for Archer Western Contractors.

Ally McCoist's three-and-a-half year reign as Rangers boss has finally come to an end after the club confirmed he has been put on gardening leave.
Ally McCoist's three-and-a-half year reign as Rangers boss has finally come to an end after the club confirmed he has been put on gardening leave.
Rangers boss Ally McCoist says he plans to see out the full 12 months of his notice period.
Ally McCoist will continue as Rangers manager for the time being following his first meeting with the Rangers directors since he handed in his resignation.
Ally McCoist's time as Rangers manager appears to be up after the club told the Stock Exchange he had resigned.
Rangers have refused to comment on reports that Ally McCoist has offered his resignation as manager.
Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist has won his appeal against a two-match ban handed out by the Scottish Football Association following his altercation with Celtic boss Neil Lennon.
Neil Lennon looks forward to crossing swords with Ally McCoist next season but knows the Old Firm rivalry prevents him wishing Rangers' manager-in-waiting the best of luck.
Ally McCoist will become Rangers manager at the end of the season, the Clydesdale Bank Premier League club have confirmed.
Ally McCoist insists he is not looking beyond his role as Rangers assistant manager, after being linked with a return to Sunderland.

Ally McCoist has hinted that Rangers remain keen to sign Kilmarnock striker Steven Naismith.

Former Scotland striker Ally McCoist has called for the Old Firm to be given a chance to test themselves against the Premiership's big boys in a British Cup tournament.
Martin O'Neill's decision to bring Henrik Larsson off in midweek paid off today as the rejuvenated striker conjured up a wonder goal to move the champions back to within a point of Rangers.
A staggering crowd of 50,002 turned up at Ibrox this afternoon to witness an Ally McCoist hat-trick as Rangers old boys beat a selection of ex-Celtic stars 4-1.

After leaving we found out they had put copies of our drivers licenses in another clients folder, who called us questioning their business. I researched them the following day and became very suspicious. I tried to contact them but apparently the sheriff dept. had requested they leave the premises--They told us they would be there for another week. We purchased with our plan "travel agent" i.d. cards with IATAN# and CLIA# and given a web site--which is only another way for them to make more $ off from you.
I immediately filed a dispute with credit card co. The main problem is there is a "no cancellation policy" in the contract. I'm sure this is so you can't research them before giving them your money.
Their price quotes were higher than what I received from a reputable area travel agency. They have only been in business about 3 years--not 15 which we were told. They have misrepresented themselves and outright lied to us in many ways. Once they have your initial downpayment--it doesn't matter if you pay yearly dues--you just become one of their many inactive clients. I have documentation of all correspondence--certified letters, e-mails, phone calls. I have been trying for 7 months to work with them--and they are unwilling to address most of my concerns.

I started call the company form 10/21/02 to 10/27/02, no body answer the phone, the message said the mailbox is full, so I cant leave the message. I call my personal coach at the same time; leave my phone number, but no response.
During this time, I also fax and email my question too. But I never received any response.
Finally about 10/28/02, my personal coach from the Zaken Co. called me, told me he has resigned from the company, told me check the Internet ripoffreport.com. After I checked the rip-off report on the Internet, I realized Im in trouble. So I faxed the letter to the company say Im send back the package, and I need full refund on 10/28/02.
11/5/02, I mailed the package to The Zaken Company. But they refuse to refund the money.
As I said if I got response form the company, I could return the package within 7 days, if I dont want keep the package. But because all the time was wasted to waiting for their response. So I want dispute this charge, and because of the rip-off of this company, I called CITI card customer service cancel my credit card, which I used to pay this company.

Excellent service and sales people, best selection of gear I've seen anywhere in Alberta. I won't be going anywhere else.
Horrible. They quote me 800 to service my quad and the bill came to over a 1000. They said it would take a week and it took a month and a half. No apologies no calls nothing. I had to chase them. I sincerely urge everyone to stay away from this outfit. There are some serious issues with this company in both service and sales.
Worst customer service I've ever had. They don't phone you back, rarely answer, and never follow up. They ordered me the wrong parts several times and have never gotten parts within the time frame they've stated. They don't seem to care at all about satisfying their customers. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
The customer service at this store is terrible. The products that are offered here are very overpriced. The selection is not impressive, and the customer service borders of being painful. I do not recommend this store to anyone.

BLOOMINGBURG — A man who is currently in prison on a prior burglary conviction has been rearrested and charged with burglary.
Brandon Sprague, 27, formerly of Wurtsboro, who is being held at the Willard Drug Treatment Center in Seneca County, according to state inmate records, entered a home in Bloomingburg in September 2013 and stole several pieces of jewelry, state police said.
Sprague became a suspect after a lengthy investigation, police said. He was arraigned in Mamakating Town Court Tuesday on the new charge and returned to state custody pending a later court appearance.

Just to review, the Pleasure Diet involves eating mindfully, which, among other things, means tuning into how hungry and full you are before and during the meal. The way it works is before you eat, you take a few deep breaths and think about how hungry you're feeling, assigning it a number from 1 to 10, 1 being not-at-all hungry and 10 being a "I-could-eat-a-steak-and-banana-split" level of appetite). Ideally, it's good not to let yourself get too hungry–you can do that by having a healthy snack every few hours. Then, you survey the available food, think about what you're really craving, and take some (even if it's stuffing, brie or ice cream!). As you eat and start to get full, you again tune into your body and assign your satiety a number (1 being not at all full, 10 being "Please roll me out of the room," ideally not letting yourself get beyond a 7 or an 8. By consciously monitoring your appetite, you're much less likely to shovel your food in mindlessly. Instead, you can really enjoy what you're eating, and push your plate away when you feel satisfied, rather than bloated, unhappy and plagued by post-meal regrets. So how did it work over Thanksgiving? Tune in tomorrow to find out.

10 to 1 dilution roughly
Seems like a scam
seeking alpha message board. Having a hard time tracking down info on it. No cash makes it hard to go all in plus it comes from some type of weird ugly sponge.
Anyone looked at this drug bryostatin, might combine with Avanex's? Different mechanism than AVXL, but can't tell if company is on level. Doesn't have any cash. Mechanism is totally different than conventional clearing tangles strategies.
236 but settling
Why do you think it went so low?
I'd be careful if that's what your investment thesis is. Glio is the important one for CLDX otherwise the competition is stiff with competitors like BLCM, JUNO, KITE having incredible efficacy. It depends whether there will be a niche or whether these companies already have cures for the solid tumors like they are starting to show with the blood tumors.
OK. We''ll have to follow it closely. It seems that its not reasonably priced.
Is there any real justification for it? I didn't think the numbers add up and they certainly didn't justify it in the CC.
They're going to run through a third of a billion dollars in less than a year? That's fine if they if they are trying to be a small country with its own GDP?
On what are they spending the money on? This isn't even sane.
They pulled their shelf. One drug, same DNA antiviral that just failed -used for small market applications. HSCT cmv was only way the company is viable. Failed trial. It looks like the reputation of its drug is fueled by speculation that the saved kid translated to real clinical results. Otherwise small pox is a tough way to make money.
Rich pipeline, kind of a misrepresentation. Only have one drug.
I agree you can't compare them, but my point was look how much a company CMRX was valued based on it having a therapeutic for HSCT. Different therapeutic attacks, but our product could be of more value in the transplants.
FFmoo made a good point that a competing therapy was only a 130 million and that cdx-301 would only be an add on.
Can you tell us what the rich pipeline of products are? They just rescinded a shelf offering according to filings. I don't think they are getting ready to commercialize anything. They have one drug that has limited commercial use now that it won't be used to fight CMV in transplants
