3 Star Property
Located in the centre of town, All Seasons Karratha is within walking distance of the main shopping centre. The hotel features an outdoor swimming pool and a BBQ area, while Hearsons Bistro provides a pleasant al fresco dining experience.
Best Western Karratha Central Apartments
4 Star Property
Karratha is the major centre for the mighty Pilbara and Best Western Karratha Central is right in the heart of Karratha, within walking distance of all the town's facilities.
Like most small Australian mining towns, Karratha is limited for choice when it comes to dining. Fast food shops, pub bistros and Chinese restaurants control most to the regional centre's dining trade.
The majority of the Karratha's eateries are focused around the township's main drags, Welcome Road and Balmoral Road. Here Australian and international fast food chains, like MacDonald's, Wendy's and Eagle Boys Pizza – as well as coffee house franchise Jamaica Blue – offer widely recognised menus and quick service.
Asian cuisine is also notably represented in Karratha, with Universal Chinese Restaurant and Karratha Chinese Garden Restaurant consistently drawing crowds.
For a fun afternoon/night out, head to the Karratha Tavern, where the Bali Garden Restaurant offers Indonesian and modern Australian dishes, with the choice of over 100 premium Australian and international beers.
The Icon is classed the town's premier food and entertainment venue, offering swanky décor, an ambient atmosphere and a menu that covers a whole host of international cuisines. Also a step away from the take away joints and pub bistros that inundate Karratha's dining scene, Etcetera's Restaurant, at The Karratha International Hotel, offers up-market options and award-winning fine dining.
Karratha is the shopping hub of the Pilbara – however like the area's dining scene, the local shopping scene is also limited.
Centro Karratha is the region's largest and most dominant shopping precinct. The centre boasts international retailers like Kmart and Target, alongside national brands such as Jeans West, Goldmark and Ed Harry, and Karratha's most sort-after service providers including hairdressers, health services, telecommunications agents and newsagents.
The town's main streets, Welcome Road and Balmoral Road are also dotted with a variety of retailers, such as florists, bookstores and bike repairers.

Report: Apple pulls the plug on Samsung as battery provider for the Apple iPad
0. phoneArena 23 Nov 2012, 12:55 posted on
According to a report from China, Apple has replaced Samsung as the supplier of batteries for the Apple iPad and for certain MacBook models; Amperex Technology Limited and Tianjin Lishen Battery have allegedly replaced Apple's Korean rival...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
It seems strange, but as CEOs have a better view on the commercial situation so there is gonna be a bunchload of good reasons why these two are working together.
In the recent months trough it seems the two giants are serious about competing with each other with all those Apple lawsuits and aggressive Samsung marketing.
Personally, i support neither Apple nor Samsung here. The best position is that Google takes: less focus on marketing, more on technology itself.
15. PhenomFaz (Posts: 1236; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
Yeah but what this 'estranged relationship' has done is that consmers are suffering because of it....Sammy supplies awesome parts to Apple so if Sammy stops will Apple products be as good as they're now?
secondly Apple shares tech plans to produce parts for themselves which often inspire manufacturers to make something of their own by tweaking the original....so without Apple pushing for better tech stuff will Sammy put that much of an effort to make innovative stuff?
The way I see it...this ends good for nobody Apple, Sammy and WE!
19. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Other than parts where Sammy is the exclusive supplier, Apple has 2 or more suppliers in any iToy. There is no way to know who is supplying the internals before purchase. If you choose to buy an iToy, you are buying the iToy, not the display by X company. X company may supply the display in the iToy you purchase, but that is Apple's call.
Ultimately, the market will drive innovation. Do you think Apple added a Notification function in iOS because it would be nice to have? No, the Notification function was added because the market demanded it.
Markets and competition drive innovation. At least in capitalist economies.
20. darkkjedii (Posts: 21204; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Well said
34. lyndon420 (Posts: 4370; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
Agreed. One example is their screens...how many different OEM's made screens that went into the same model phone or pad? 2 or 3 I'm pretty sure.
35. JeffdaBeat (unregistered)
Couldn't agree more Droid_X_Doug...
Apple cannot be in bed with its competitors. If Apple and Samsung are now the biggest markers of smartphones, it's stupid for Apple to be going to their competitor and paying them money to make parts for Apple. It would be like Ford going to GM to make engines. It's the same reason Apple had to get out of bed with Google.
Apple won't switch companies lightly either. They wouldn't go with a new battery maker without being sure they can get the same life out of their products or more. Apple Maps was a huge flop and I doubt they want a repeat. But just like Droid_X_Doug, you don't really know the inner workings of your iDevice. Some folks who post on this site didn't know that LG and Sharp have taken over the screens on the iPad from earlier this year.
54. Topcat488 (Posts: 1396; Member since: 29 Sep 2012)
When Sammy stop supplying the parts for what you call the itoy, Then you will know who is NOT supplying those "internals"... The itoy will NOT be that, what it is TODAY!!! Samsung TOLD them to find another battery supplier, not the other way around!!! Samsung supplies the important parts of the itoys "internals", without Sammy it wont be the same itoy. Get out of bed with her Sammy!
42. darkkjedii (Posts: 21204; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Good post totally agree with u bro.
51. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
Phenom, I must ask, and I'm being serious, not trying to start any flame wars or anything: What tech has Apple produced lately that has pushed the market? They do make a good product for some people, and their marketing is second to none, but honestly, what tech have they truly produced that pushes the boundaries of technology?
The way I see it, Android evolves much faster than iOS. The iPad continues to be tops in tablets, but Android tablets are catching up quickly, and Windows 8 tablets appear to be poised to take some high end marketshare as well.
Google continues to push Android forward quickly, and with things as innovative as Project Glass, Google seems to me to be pushing innovation among OEMs much faster these days than Apple.
Also, Apple designs the shape, look, and functionality of their products, but over 90% of their products are made with other companies' technology. LG and Sharp displays come to mind, Samsung processors and batteries as well.
From my point of view, Apple hasn't seriously dropped anything that changed the game on technology since the iPhone 3G or the iPad. Since then, we've only seen incremental upgrades to those items.
Again I ask that this be read as a legit discussion starter, not an attempt to start a fanboy flame war. I'd personally just like to see all these companies gtfo of the courtrooms and focus on making the awesome stuff they are capable of.
32. richardyarrell2011 (banned) (Posts: 510; Member since: 16 Mar 2011)
I applaud Samsung for this move. Apple has financially benefitted from Samsung for years and it's pretty shameful that apple forgot what side it's bread is bittered on. Differeance is Samsung does it's own thing processor, battery, camera's and on and on. Apple needs other companies to exist in this space. Piss on apple
36. JeffdaBeat (unregistered)
Other way around sir...Samsung has profited from Apple because Apple is Samsung's largest client (or was before Apple started changing providers). This isn't Apple stabbing Samsung in the back. These are two competitors who shouldn't be relying on each other.
40. darkkjedii (Posts: 21204; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Excellent post my man. Richard lacks...well just read his comment

Your pretty clueless no doubt...
57. richardyarrell2011 (banned) (Posts: 510; Member since: 16 Mar 2011)
Exactly they shouldn't be relying on eachother. It was apple that needed Samsung in the first place. Every iphone made in the last three years has Samsung processor, Samsung camera optics, and Samsung batteries. None of Samsung products have anything apple in them what so ever never has and never will. Apple and it's socalled iconic iphone really should be a Samsung device.
39. darkkjedii (Posts: 21204; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Wack comment. Samsung is just as dependent on apple, as apple is their biggest client. Learn some knowledge then speak
52. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
Apple and Samsung currently share the most dysfunctional symbiotic relationship I've ever seen lol. One hand of each company is shaking a hand of the other, while each has their free hand pointing a loaded gun at each other's head......
As hard as these companies compete with each other, I think the split between the two was inevitable.
55. big.e927 (Posts: 94; Member since: 21 Nov 2012)
My take on all of this, if Apple was truly as innovative as it goes on to be by the jacked up prices on everything it pushes out on the market, they wouldn't be wasting time throwing lawsuits left and right. Apple has displayed arrogance not only in American soil, but in foreign land as well, most noticeable one as of late, the court ruling in the u.k. I have yet to see an Apple product that is made or composed by all Apple parts and technology. The hers of isheep should get their facts straight before pointing a finger, ifnot they'll come off as ignorant people. Also, Samsung is number one in seeks in the states, numbers don't lie unless your head is up your ass and you can't see it :p
2. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
Yes I personally find it ridiculous how apple accuses Samsung for copying their devices when Samsung is the one providing a lot of the pieces. Personally I'm glad Samsung is providing less for Apple. They should learn to rely on themselves for once and stop accusing all these other companies that are supplying them. Many people look down on Samsung for the plastic, but can't deny that their technology is no doubt high-end.
16. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
It's really not strange at all. I'm not saying I support all the lawsuits, but I don't think any of them relate to batteries, processors, or displays. Completely unrelated
56. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
This is why you don't sure your supplier. LMAO.
It's almost like apple knew it needed to take Samsung down before things get out of control. I see fear by apple.
3. lyndon420 (Posts: 4370; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
Good for Sammy. Make deals with the devil and you will regret it eventually.
8. darkkjedii (Posts: 21204; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
That's a weak comment, cuz it offers nothing intelligent. Speak with knowledge, or don't speak.

Here the end. So don't get surprised if you get a cheap chinese iPhone next time in your hand!
6. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
Actually, a lot of Chinese OEMs are making decent quality handsets which aren't KIRF's for a change.
27. joey_sfb (Posts: 5741; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
I have a lot of bad experience with cheaply made china battery, good luck to apple.
I think apple wants to stick with Sammy on this one because apple themselve know that battery is crucial and they don't want to screw with that.
5. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Apple should setup a battery manufacturing plant in China :)

Chip companies are more rare than battery companies so that wouldn't surprise me.

I don't know if you're serious, but actually that's not a bad idea.
31. jstchilln (Posts: 10; Member since: 13 Apr 2008)
I hope they do try to make thier own APPLE battery. Then I hope they get sued at every turn for patent infringement.
37. lyndon420 (Posts: 4370; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
Hopefully all the battery companies come up with a very well worded patent that covers everything...including the shapes of them.
45. rsxl5 (Posts: 65; Member since: 05 Sep 2012)
'including the shapes of them' :)
9. darkkjedii (Posts: 21204; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Apple should sever ties, if this partnership is no longer amicable. All this bad blood between them, which personally I think could be worked out is now at a boiling point. This is gonna have a negative effect on the tech world, not just apple, and sammys users. I wish all this could b resolved in a friendly way, but sadly as huge fan of both of these companies I don't think it can

Apple has no choice when manufacturer says sorry no more of batteries from us ... that's what happened in this case ... though title of article makes it look as if Apple severed the ties.

apple just want more money ending ties with Sammy is not to their advantage otherwise they would not be in a business relationship in the first place. Apple fan has zero logic and are so emotional about their apple toys.
Open your eyes, apple fans. You have been screwed by apple for so many years!!!

Are you reading your stuff or just blowing it out. Sammy wanted more money sammy cut them off so what are you saying here. Yeah they have alot of B.S. between them and no one wants to settle so when this blows up every one will feel it. Apple has the loot to build their own plants here or China they just dont want to. Sammy can go it alone also. They are each other biggest asset now its time to see where all this goes.

I am glad by this move.. by the way Apple and Samsung is handling this.. I don't see ending any other way. they will both recover from this and will make awesome devices... and no more courts...

It's going to be a long time before all this court bs is done, and a ton of money wasted by both that could go to R&D to make some seriously good tech. Such a shame it has to happen this way.

I don't want to make look like a conspericy
but I think apple suied Samsung and they already had a replacement for it
otherwise apple must be reeeeeealy stupid to sue the company that's providing almost all the important parts display battery processor
maybe not maybe apple is just greedy

So basically its just a civil war between the two. The iPhone isn't anything but a Samsung phone due to the fact Samsung makes all their hardware. lol
29. joey_sfb (Posts: 5741; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
If apple did not sue Samsung, no body would know that their beloved iPhone is actually a samsung phone with a half eaten apple logo.
38. ElektronicGeek91 (Posts: 105; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
Exactly I think Apple only sued Samsung because they were the head honcho in that situation.
26. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Samsung made batteries for iDevices too? What didnt they have a hand in?
33. som (Posts: 768; Member since: 10 Nov 2009)
SAMSUNG did the right thing, there is no sense to do business with the company that cut your throat for $1.05 billion lawsuits and banned your products from selling. Samsung must stop supplying every components and parts now, if Apple is not dropping all lawsuits and clear $1.05 billion that Apple won in U.S. lawsuits.
46. abish1234 (Posts: 51; Member since: 22 Oct 2011)
if it was samsung..then why is d title of the article apple pulled d plug???
47. RapidCat (Posts: 351; Member since: 12 Jun 2012)
This is 1st time i hear samsung pull the plug.
50. elandrumiii (Posts: 109; Member since: 20 Mar 2010)
Sammy made the apple processors based on the design that apple provided them. Apple stated on many interviews here that there is no facility in the U.S. that can make them not even Texas Instruments. So no it is not a sammy design or product they are a plant making apple parts. It does it say samsung on the apple processors does it. Sammy makes displays for alot of companies and batteries so apple is not different. People talk like apple went down the aisle at the sammy store and put a phone together.

TAHOE, Calif. — I've been hearing the stories for as long as I've lived at Lake Tahoe, but last year's recovery of a drowned scuba diver from the depths of the lake once again stirred up the persistent rumor human corpses last for decades suspended in its cold, dark water. The fact the diver had drowned nearly 20 years before and his body was recovered intact added to the resurgence of this local legend.
Donald "Chris" Windecker was reported missing on July 10, 1994, while diving off Rubicon Point with a friend. The underwater Rubicon Wall near Bliss State Park is a popular spot among technical divers and is also near California's first underwater shipwreck park, two miles south at Emerald Bay.
According to an incident report released at the time, "Windecker experienced an unknown complication while diving" and he sank to the depths before his partner could get him to the surface. A local dive shop employee recently told me overweighting is a common problem among scuba divers and may have contributed to Windecker's demise.
Windecker's body was spotted at a depth of 265 feet by a deep water diver on July 23, 2011. The corpse was lodged in a rock crevice. Authorities located the body using a self powered remote operated vehicle that searched the pitch black water using a small light and camera. It took the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department most of a day to find Windecker's body and get it back to the surface using a mechanical claw mounted on the ROV.
Sheriff Sgt. Byron Golmitz said the water temperature at 265 feet is less than 40 degrees and that helped to preserve the corpse. Windecker's body was weighted for diving, but the chilling nature of Lake Tahoe's cold water refrigerates drowning victims and inhibits the gases that would normally form to bloat and float the body back to the surface. A Washoe Indian legend alleges Tahoe's water is so cold and clear it wouldn't support a human body.
But finding Windecker's corpse intact and preserved after 17 years doesn't confirm human bodies can remain suspended in time in Lake Tahoe. Scientists estimate there are more than 220 million crayfish crawling around the Lake's basin in a constant search for food. Crayfish were introduced to the lake in the late 1800s and the voracious non-native species would make short work of any unusual snacks that came their way.
If Windecker's body was wedged into the Rubicon Wall or similar feature it's possible it was somewhat harder for scavengers to access. It's also likely the insulated wetsuit Windecker wore (including booties, gloves, and hood) offered significant protection from crayfish and other flesh-eating critters, like fish. Windecker was missing his scuba mask and another dive shop employee told me he heard the flesh there was mostly gone.
A quick Internet search will turn up scores of stories in the media and on blogs talking about fully clothed drowning victims, with arms outstretched, bobbing beneath the surface of Lake Tahoe. As colorful as it may sound, there appears to be no truth or logic to the idea there are various bodies dressed in period attire floating in the depths.
Some people believe that Chinese workers building the transcontinental railroad in the 1860s were thrown into the lake instead of being paid. Or Mafia murder victims were dumped into the water where their bodies would sink and never be found. I have found no factual basis for these rumors, but there is a scene in Godfather II filmed on Tahoe's west shore where one guy gets "whacked" and dumped into the lake to "swim with the fishes."
The main rumor focuses on the famed underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau, who is said to have plumbed Tahoe's depths in a submersible watercraft during the 1960s or 70s. When he returned to the surface, he allegedly said, "The world isn't ready for the horrors I have seen" referring to floating bodies. Nice story, but the fact is Cousteau never visited Lake Tahoe (his son Philippe did) and several people who knew Jacques told me since he was such a avid self-promoter, he would have taken the "shocking" Tahoe footage and made it into a National Geographic special.
No, the legend of floating corpses in Lake Tahoe belongs with the other tall tales about sea serpent monsters like Tahoe Tessie or the plug at the bottom of the lake.

murton and sing in RF is very good news. even though the cubs NEED a stud at one of the corner outfield spots next year, the fact that that stud could be a RF or LF gives hendry flexibility. (say, giles or dunn)...
i think i would be alright with murton being the guy coming in in one of those corner spots, assuming production the rest of this year, fall league and spring training.
sing also needed to learn to play OF or he will be less valuable/very likely be blocked like lee.
as for center field....bleh. damon will go to the red sox or yankees. honestly i would sign giles and put him there (over 200 career games there)
but will he leave san diego?
here's my post from the red
here's my post from the red sox story. see if anyone sabr-inclined reads it, thanks for your help.
hey guys, not in the realm of this discussion at all, looking for some help though
i'm looking for the number by which you multiply OBA when you add it to SL in the SABR info stuff? i wanna say it's 1.8, but i don't have my copy of moneyball around to look it up. i'm trying to do some stats stuff regarding baseball playoffs.
also, i'm trying to find team OBA against and team SL against (that is, what the pitching allows) in baseball over the last 10 years or so.
i can't find it on baseballreference.com or anywhere else. all i really need is Total Bases against, but i can't find that either. anyone? thanks for the help.
Murton in RF? that's odd,
Murton in RF? that's odd, especially when Grieve could be playing that position for Iowa. Murton just doesn't have the arm for right and nothing besides steroids will get him that.
Brian Giles will demand some years on his contract and I don't see Hendry offering one to a 35 year old. He's pretty poor as a center fielder this year, while about average as a corner outfielder, defensively speaking.
I think the Cubs have made enough concessions on the defensive side of the ball, time to start getting some more well-rounded players.
yeah, murton dont have the
yeah, murton dont have the arm for RF, but hey...it cant hurt for him to at least get a few looks there.
i believe he was playing RF in the rsox system for a while.
i doubt he's the RF'r of the future, but it cant hurt too much for him to see a few weeks there.
doubt it'll hurt his development, anyway.
im kinda interested in where they'll play him this fall.
I think he played RF for the
I think he played RF for the JAxx some of the year too, at least by some of the box scores I perused earlier this year. It won't hurt his development but it doesn't help any either. Baker won't put him there, so what's the point?

Does Patterson HAVE to play
Does Patterson HAVE to play everyday? I understand he's the best defensive choice, but with Hairston back, I'd sure like to see a lot more pinch-hitting for the guy and maybe even a platoon.

I whole-heartedly concur. I'm not a big fan and he may not be the ideal way to spend $10 mil. a year, but aquiring Furcal would be going in the right direction. I love Walker... a great gamer and real team player, but him & Nomar are a weak middle infield. Furcal & Hairston would be a hell of an improvement. For a team of groundball/strikeout pitchers, the Cubs would be much better off with excellent defense up the middle. Plus Furcal & Hairston are both 1&2 type hitters. Furcal is an excellent base-stealer/runner and he's also entering his prime years. Plus Dusty would have his speedy leadoff guy.
I liked Hairston as our
I liked Hairston as our lead-off hitter...He actually HIT the ball much better than Lawton has since coming to the Cubs...Why is Dusty using Lawton in this crucial position...? We can't afford a lead-off player who rarely gets on base. I hope Lawton surprises us in a positive way. I would actually like to see Murton play in Lawton's position. I wonder what Bobby Cox would do with Dusty's stable of players...?
rumor has it that macias
rumor has it that macias hits hudson like a stepchild. if la russa managed this team, macias would play tonight and cpat would be on the bench...i predict the cubs will declare themselves officially out of the race after maddux's next start. they'll go with a rotation of Prior, Zambrano, Mitre, Williams and Hill. I think Mitre and Hill will ultimately be traded during the offseason.
$10 mil might be a bit much,
$10 mil might be a bit much, I mean that's about what Ramirez makes and more than Lee. Of course he might end up getting it.
But thinking of the teams that need SS next year, a quick rundown.
Braves (I'm hoping/assuming that they plan on giving the job to Betemit)
Marlins (they can't afford him)
Nationals (Guzman isn't the answer, but doubt they'll have the cash)
D'Backs (isn't that Stephen Drew's postion? no reason to block him)
Blue Jays (no way they spend money on a SS)
White Sox (I could see them making a move there)
Twins (no money)
Mariners (some guy named Yunlesky Betancourt is playing there right now, could be a factor)
White Sox, Braves, Cubs or Mariners? White Sox won't get into a bidding war that's for sure, but if his price is more like $8 to $9 mil for 4-5 years, I don't mind the risk. $10 mil for 5 years though would be too steep and if he gets it, god bless him.
Then resign Nomar and make sure Neifi isn't anywhere near the team or find a new manager, so when Nomar goes down, Cedeno gets the PT, not Neifi!!

Maddux is going to get dropped from the rotation? Never, ever, ever!!

Funny, I was thinking the same thing except swapping the names Patterson with "Neifi", and Hairston with "Nomar and Todd Walker."
Rob, Your forgetting two
Your forgetting two teams that might be Furcal's strongest suitors other than the Cubs. The Rangers and Yankees. If the Rangers trade Soriano they will want a SS so Young could go back to 2b. Furcal's speed and strong arm make him a natural CF. If the Yankees can't get Damon, Furcal might be better than any other option avaliable. They would have to give him 5/50 to get him to change positions but that is chump change for Steinbenner and they have alot of money coming off the books in Bernie and Brown.
stranger things have
stranger things have happened I supposed, but don't see any reason why he'd switch positions. How many times has this happened in baseball again? Big time FA has signed and change positions.
I agree with the Furcal talk
I agree with the Furcal talk - let's try and get him to go along side Hairston. What exactly is the word on why JHJ is so unliked though?
hairston's a bit
hairston's a bit self-centered and pouty.
that's mostly been taken care of suposedly...he didnt make many friends when he first got to the cubs and found out he wasnt gonna be a starter.
he initially thought he was gonna be the cubs starting 2nd baseman over walker...i got no comment on that one...
that said, he's supposedly not a distraction or whining anymore.
i wouldnt get your hopes up about furcal in such a tight SS market...hell, the cubs are gonna be "lucky" to keep neifi and he'll probally be starting for someone next year based on the fact he can field like a champ and makes decent contact without K'ing.
garciappara at least should come cheap...low base with incentives. cubs have sunk a lotta loot into him and his wife and he's sold a suprising amount of merchandise.
the OF/bullpen/bench/5th starter issues should be cute...especially if rusch wants to blaze a path toward some other team. the 5th starter issue could directly be associated with wood's recovery progress and that may be addressed very late.
Trade Patterson, Wood Holly
Trade Patterson, Wood Holly and some cash for Johnny Damon.
Help me with this guys. We
Help me with this guys. We (myself included) seem to want to give Murton some kind of chance in the outfield next year; but a majority of you want to turn SS over to Furcal, without giving Cedeno a shot.
Personally, I feel he is a more rounded talent than Murton, and has a good presence in the box, along with better minor league stats.
I wouldn't spend $6MM on him much less $10MM. Spend the money on a better leadoff man and give Cedeno a shot.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.

Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.

Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.

Former Hofstra and Loyola (Md.) head coach Kristina Hernandez has been named Head Volleyball Coach at Stetson University, Director of Athletics Jeff Altier announced on Monday.
Hernandez will serve as head coach of both the indoor and sand volleyball programs.
"Kristina is an outstanding addition to the Stetson University athletics staff," Altier said. "She is a veteran head coach that brings the experience and passion needed to take Stetson's teams to the top of the Atlantic Sun Conference. I am looking forward to working with her to advance Stetson volleyball."
"I'd like to thank Athletic Director Jeff Altier, Associate Athletic Director Alicia Queally, and the search committee for giving me such an amazing opportunity to be the next head women's indoor and sand volleyball coach at Stetson," Hernandez said. "This is such an incredible opportunity for me. The challenge of competing in the Atlantic Sun Conference in both indoor and sand is a dream come true."
Hernandez comes to Stetson from Hofstra, where she won 93 matches in six seasons with the Pride, leading them to an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2012. That season her team posted 21 wins, its most since 2006, and captured the Colonial Athletic Association title. Hernandez also led Hofstra to the CAA semifinals in 2008 and 2013.
While in West Hempstead, Hernandez guided a dozen of her players to all-conference honors and saw more than 30 earn academic awards from the conference. In 2012, outside hitter Kelsie Wills earned AVCA National Player of the Week honors. In 2009, Hernandez was selected to the AVCA's Thirty Under 30 list that recognizes up-and-coming coaches under the age of 30.
Before her arrival at Hofstra, Hernandez led the Loyola University Maryland volleyball program for four seasons. As head coach of the Greyhounds, she compiled 49 victories, doubling her team's win total her very first season and giving them their first 20-win season in 25 years.
While at Loyola, Hernandez had one of her student-athletes named MAAC Setter of the Year, one named MAAC Rookie of the Year, and three earn post-season all-conference honors.
Hernandez also brings a wealth of USA Volleyball coaching experience with her to DeLand, as she has served in a number of different capacities with the organization during the past seven years. She has served as lead coach with the high performance tryout camp as well as head of the Youth National A2 Team in 2007. In 2010 she served as the head coach for the Women's Junior Continental Team, and in 2013 she served as the associate head coach of the Select A2 program.
"There is a tremendous amount of vibrant energy on campus and within the athletics department," Hernandez said. "I look forward to getting to work right away with the sand season and am also excited to get to work with the indoor student-athletes during the spring."
