Hats off to Reese Witherspoon.
After a busy week dealing with the fallout surrounding her April 19 disorderly conduct arrest – which included an appearance on Good Morning America – the actress, 37, seems to have made peace with her run-in with the law.
The mother of three was photographed sporting a hat with the City of Atlanta Police Department's insignia on it when she arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday.
On Thursday, Witherspoon and her husband Jim Toth – who was arrested for DUI – entered pleas. The couple will pay a few hundred dollars in fines and Toth was ordered to perform 40 hours of community service and attend an alcohol education program.
"The pending criminal matters against Ms. Reese Witherspoon and Mr. Jim Toth have been resolved," says Ronda "Roni" Graham, Deputy Solicitor for the Municipal Court of Atlanta, in a statement at the time.

RIDGEWAY – Two Medina men and a Lyndonville man were arrested after a month-long investigation of an indoor marijuana-growing operation was conducted in the Town of Ridgeway.
The Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force and Orleans County Sheriff Department executed a search warrant at 3642 Horan Road in Medina on Friday and seized 300 marijuana plants and one pound of dried marijuana, as well as a .22 caliber rifle, scales, packaging materials, indoor growing equipment and other drug paraphernalia.
Jacob J. Callara, 50 and Alejandro R. Martinez, 46, both of the Horan Road address, and Bruce W. Harrold, 49, of Garland Street, Lyndonville were all charged with second-degree criminal possession of marijuana and unlawfully growing cannabis.
They were arraigned in the Town of Ridgeway before Justice Lawrence H. Sanderson, with Callara and Harrold remanded to Orleans County Jail on $5,000 bail and Martinez remanded on $1,000 bail. A return court date was set for Tuesday.

Yo who had it worse naruto or sasuke
JMA I think naruto had it worse cause sasuke at least got to feel loved for the first couple yrs of his lifeNaruto was hated and had to grow up by him self
Sasuke had it worse.If you don't have something growing up, you don't know what it's like to lose it. Ever heard the saying that " it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all"? The loser that spouted that nonsense must have died a virgin, because nothing is worse than seeing something that you love getting ripped away from you and not being able to do a damn thing about it. 92% of the teenage population would be dead if Ambercrombie and Fitch or Hollister said it was uncool to breathe.
They've both had it pretty damn bad. It would've sucked to not know that no one loved you and would be just as hard to have it and than lose it.

Top Definition
Often mistakenly defined online as the act itself, in Scottish and Northern Irish slang boke refers to the gagging stage when you feel you're about to, just before actually puking.
Dumbass, don't confuse a boke with a puke -- if you can step in it, you didn't boke.
por picky-picky etymologist 17 de Junho de 2008
Trending Now
Can you define these popular missing words?
A web spelling of the Scottish/Northern Irish slang boak (which occurs because "boke" looks like how you'd spell it) which can mean either vomit or dry heave (the dry boak).
On BBC Scotland when Rab C. Nesbitt asked, "Got a wee touch of the boak, eh doll?" a lot of folks might have thought he said "boke" -- if they could understand his Glaswegian at all.
por Bagpope 11 de Novembro de 2008
An anime/manga slang term for a character that is dumb acting, stupid and pretty much doesn't care about grades or studying. Bokes also tend to have advantages like a running skill or something that they don't use.Theey might also hit on people, and or become full of themselves from time to time. In most animes and mangas the boke would usaully be paired up with the tsudere.

Fancy boy names with spunky nicknames?
I'm thinking along the lines of:
Augustus or Augustino (nn Gus)
Francois (nn Frans or Franco)
Aurelius (nn Re)
Alistair (nn Al)
Alessandro (nn Sandy)
Olivier (nn Oli)
Benedetto (nn Benny, Ben)
Anyone else have any? As you can probably tell, I'm a sucker for Italian and French names. But I am open to all suggestions. British and Irish also especially welcome.

And when her magic starts manifesting itself without conscious effort, both Eden's life and the possibility of a future with Darrak are threatened-since only one of them might be able to survive this…
Dear Reader Letter
Dear Reader,
It's not easy being a demon.
I don't know this personally, of course, but the hero of my "Living in Eden" trilogy does. Thanks to a witch's curse 300 years ago, Darrak has been forced to possess humans ever since. Not fun for him.
Then he met Eden Riley. When he had no choice but to possess her, he found that things changed. He was able to take physical form during daylight hours for the first time in three centuries. And after Eden got over the shock of this situation—and realized that Darrak was a rather unusual (and majorly sexy) demon—she decided to help him break his curse rather than having him exorcised. Not that the thought didn't cross her mind. Frequently.
Eden and Darrak's relationship has been rocky—and passionate. And now it comes to its climatic finale in the third and final book, That Old Black Magic, which is my personal fave of the trilogy. Darrak has been my favorite hero to write to date, not to mention my funniest and arguably sexiest one. (Don't tell the others.)
Now the only question is—do Eden and Darrak find their happily ever after? Is the curse broken? Will they survive together—or will they be forced apart forever? With so many odds stacked against them, it looks difficult as…well, hell.
I hope you enjoy TOBM! And check out my website at www.michellerowen.com and my official Facebook page at www.facebook.com/michellerowenbooks for all the latest news about by current and future books.
Happy reading!

Technical Service Bulletins
|Publication Date: March 16, 2007
|2005-2007 F-Super Duty
Some 2005-2007 Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.0L diesel engine may exhibit a buck/jerk concern when pulling large/heavy goose neck trailers. For example pulling multiple horses, living quarters, or on board water tank. This concern occurs in tow/haul mode, typically between 35-60 MPH (56-97 Km/h), and requires an input for the buck/jerk to start. For example, the buck/jerk may start after a shift event, torque converter lock up, or hitting a bump in the road surface.
Once the buck/jerk starts, the drivers foot may not be held steady on the pedal assembly and the buck/jerk becomes worse. Releasing the accelerator pedal completely, or going to wide open throttle (WOT) typically will stop the buck/jerk. This concern does not occur when operating the vehicle in cruise control.
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
Since this concern ONLY occurs while pulling a goose neck trailer, it is important that the customer bring the trailer with them in order for the concern to be verified. The buck/jerk condition specific to this concern does not occur when the truck is driven without a trailer, or with a conventional receiver pull trailer.
The buck/jerk concern is caused by trailer configuration and trailer weight distribution causing movement of the vehicle. Combined with a goose neck hitch that is not robust, the hitch flexes causing excessive movement in the truck; therefore the driver is moved in the seat with their foot moving up and down on the accelerator pedal amplifying the concern.
A revised calibration has been developed to help filter out some of the accelerator pedal movement, and show proper trailer loading, hitch location, and hitch information has been provided.
- Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release IDS-47.10 and higher or IDS-48.4 (expected release March 20th) or higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2007.3 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.com. This calibration contains an accelerator pedal filter.
- If the concern is still present after the reflash, it may be caused by the trailer weight distribution and/or a hitch not being robust enough for the application.
- Refer to the Ford Towing Guide at: www.fleet.ford.com, then select "Showroom", then "Towing Guides". Towing guide reference material may also be available in the sales department.
- Note if the hitch does not appear to be robust or is home made. Some aftermarket hitches are not as robust as others and can cause the hitch to flex thereby causing the trailer to "drive" the vehicle and produce the buck jerk condition. This in turn can cause the customer's foot on the accelerator pedal to amplify this condition. Be especially suspicious of home made hitches, or hitches that do not appear to be robust.
- Check the goose neck pin location and if it deviates from the Towing Guide.
- Check the trailer set up for distributing the weight as recommended in the Towing Guide. If any deviations are found from the towing guide and/or the hitch is not robust, then the customer needs to be consulted about bringing their equipment up to the recommended guidelines. This may include getting approve to change to a more robust hitch.
Eligible Under Provisions Of New Vehicle Limited Warranty Coverage
IMPORTANT: Warranty coverage limits/policies are not altered by a TSB. Warranty coverage limits are determined by the identified causal part.

Football Improves to 6-1 with Homecoming Victory
MUNCIE, Ind. – The Ball State football team became bowl eligible for the third straight season under the direction of third-year head coach Pete Lembo, after the Cardinals defeated Kent State 27-24 in their 87th Homecoming contest.
"I do not know if people will appreciate this as much as this team does, but we beat a good football team today," Lembo says. "We really think highly of those guys on both sides of the football and special teams. Our defense just played extremely well and we were able to contain a dynamic guy."
The Cardinals improved to 6-1 on the season and remain undefeated in the Mid-American Conference with a 3-0 record. Kent State falls to 2-5 overall and 1-3 in league action. Today's win marked Lembo's 100th career victory and came on a Keith Wenning to Willie Snead 7-yard touchdown pass with 1:29 left in the contest.
After uncharacteristically early turnovers by Ball State and stalwart defensive efforts by both teams caused the game to be tied at 7-7 at the half, the Cardinals rallied for 13 third quarter points to take a 20-14 lead as the third quarter neared an end.
"The turnovers, particularly in the first half, hurt us," Lembo says. "Offensively, we had opportunities down in the red zone to come away with points but we need to learn to make better decisions with the football and with ball security down there."
In the opening minutes of the third quarter, Wenning threw a two-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Jordan Williams to give Ball State its first 14-7 lead of the ball game. Kent State answered back on its ensuing possession tying the contest for the second time, 14-14.
After a Jeffery Garrett interception to give the Cardinals the ball back, Wenning connected on a 25-yard pass to Jamill Smith at the 2:53 mark of the third quarter to give Ball State the 20-14 lead. Kent State responded early in the fourth quarter to take a 21-20 lead, and less than two minutes later, the Golden Flashes scored again on a 21-yard field goal and led 24-20 with 7:14 to play.
With 3:12 left in the game and down by four, Ball State put together a 5-play, 57-yard drive which resulted in a seven-yard touchdown pass from Wenning to Snead earning the Cardinals the victory.
"It was really neat to see how gutsy this team plays," Lembo says. "How many times have we seen this in two and a half years. We are in these back-and-forth games and we are counting on guys to make plays down the stretch and they definitely did that today."
The Ball State football team continues MAC action when it travels to Western Michigan Saturday for a 2 p.m. kickoff in Waldo Stadium.

From his office to elementary school classrooms to the soccer pitch, Britt Reagin generates smiles everywhere he goes.
As an orthodontist naturally smiles are important to Reagin, but he doesn't stop at making sure his patients have perfect smiles. He encourages them, as well as everyone else, to use their smile and other attributes to make a positive difference in the world.
"Life is better when you are happy but life is best when other people are happy because of you," he said. "Be an inspiration, give peace and share your smile."
That's a motto he not only preaches, but practices daily.
He is an individual with a lot on his plate, but making time for family is always among his top priorities.
"My main goal is to be a good father and husband," he said. "Basically I just want to be the best role model I can be for my circle of influence which is my family and anyone who might come in contact with them. Part of that is making sure I find ways to help make my community the best it can be."
The father of three volunteers countless hours to multiple organizations in an effort to do just that.
He serves on the Board of Directors for the Summerville YMCA and as a Vestry at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Reagin is one of the founders of the Dorchester County Fund that awards grants to nonprofit organizations serving Dorchester County and has been a sponsor for the Summerville Miracle League since its inception.
He works closely with Smiles Change Lives, a nonprofit program designed to provide orthodontic care to children in need. He donates mouth guards to the Summerville Soccer Club and the Summerville Family YMCA and sponsors youth events such as the Y's Youth Triathlon and 5k Run and supports organizations such as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Children in Crisis and Chase After a Cure.
He has also made a considerable impact on the community through his volunteer work at schools.
As a Summerville Elementary School business partner, Reagin is involved with numerous programs. Through the Adopt-A-Teacher program, he shows students how material they learn in school can be beneficial to them once they become adults.
"I am fortunate enough to have him as my Adopt-A-Teacher partner," third grade teacher Tara White said. "He is very open and willing to try anything to help meet the needs of our children. I love that he takes the time to come up with activities to match our standards and then ties them back to real life experiences and his occupation as an orthodontist. He is exposing children to things far beyond the walls of a classroom and planting seeds for the future. Inspiring greatness in children is what makes him a true asset to our school and community."
Reagin also sponsors the Math Madness Program, a school-wide math initiative that awards miniature basketballs to students who reach their yearly math goal. He not only purchases the basketballs for the program, he takes time out of his busy schedule to deliver them to the students.
"From the moment Dr. Reagin entered our building, he became an instant asset to our school," SES Principal Lori Dibble said. "He is an Adopter of two classrooms, sponsors our PTA by providing refreshments and giveaways, and is always someone we can count on to go the extra mile for our kids. The Math Madness Program has provided motivation beyond anything we imagined possible. When he delivers the balls to students the presentation is accompanied by pumped up music. Rock on Dr. Reagin; we love you!"
When Reagin was a student, he was an all-state soccer player for Greenwood High who participated in the Olympic Development Program at the upper-state level. He attended Cambridge Academy for one year and was named to the SCISA All-state football team.
Today he coaches soccer at the Summerville Soccer Club.
Then of course there are the contributions he makes through his profession. Reagin is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, American Board of Orthodontics, American Association of Orthodontics, American Dental Association and serves on the S.C. Dental Association strategic planning committee.
He has participated in national orthodontic focus groups and published research projects. He goes the extra mile, doing a lot of continuing education and exploring new products and concepts in his field to ensure his patients have the best treatment possible.
"I feel like the work I do helps people reach their full potential," he said. "A person's smile is often the first thing others notice about them. If someone has confidence in their smile it can change their whole demeanor."
His business philosophy is simple.
"I just want to do what is right," he said. "I try to treat all my patients like they were a member of my family. I ask, what would I do in this situation if it were my child and I find if I make a decision based on that then it is usually the right decision."

The first rule with investing is, if it looks too good to be true, then it is, David Avdakov said during Tiffin University's Good Morning World Breakfast Lecture series Thursday at Camden Falls Reception and Conference Center.
Avdakov, vice president and senior portfolio manager of U.S. Bank, presented "Investment Outlook," discussing the country's debt situation, the economy and opportunities with emerging markets.
"There are opportunities out there in the U.S.," Avdakov said. "Including emerging markets and housing, energy and manufacturing."

David Avdakov, vice president and senior portfolio manager of U.S. Bank, speaks Thursday morning at Camden Falls.
Avdakov joined U.S. Bank as a portfolio manager in 1999 and has more than 16 years of financial and investment industry experience. Avdakov received a bachelor's degree from University of Dayton and a master's from Xavier University. He has chartered financial analyst designation and is a member of the CFA Institute and, in 2007, he received Dayton Business Journal's "40 Under Forty" award for outstanding business and community leadership.
There were four areas Avdakov touched on: stocks; bonds; real estate, commercial and residential; and commodities.
"Investing in capital does well for stocks," Avdakov said. "The market is at all-time highs, with corporate earnings to grow 8 percent."
Discussing housing, Avdakov said the market still has a long way to go, but is in recovery.
"(About) sixty-percent of individuals in the year 2000 owned their own home," he said. "That number now is about 45 percent, due to more people renting."
As for the economy, Avdakov said consumer spending is on its way back to the normal path.
"People are experiencing what is called 'the wealth effect,' where individuals have been feeling wealthier because of the pickup from the economy," Avdakov said.
Avdakov showed economic growth as it is now and the expectations of the federal government. He said emerging markets will surpass developed markets over the next three years.
In the end, Avdakov said there are plenty of opportunities out there with emerging markets. Manufacturing in the U.S. has more value added, with more products now being made in the U.S., Avdakov said.
The global economy is set to pick up throughout 2013, with moderate growth in the U.S. reinforcing emerging markets, he said.
"David was a timely speaker. He discussed the economy and faced it with such brevity," Ron Schumacher, vice president for Development and Public Affairs, said.
The next Good Morning World Breakfast Lecture is to take place in September.

BCS Rankings are coming in, creating a dramatic new look for Week 9 following Missouri's win over top-ranked Oklahoma in Columbia Saturday night.
The Sooners' loss likely will open the door for Oregon to assume a spot at the top, but Auburn's win over LSU could at least make things interesting.
Elsewhere, Michigan State stayed perfect with a thrilling comeback win over Northwestern, and TCU kept right on rolling with a convincing victory over Air Force.
Here's a prediction of how the 2010 BCS Standings in Week 2 will shape up.

There are many contributors to the success of Roswell Park Cancer Institute, from donors to staff to volunteers and the patients themselves, but the $1.5 million gift from New Era Cap Co. is noteworthy because it will allow construction of a new building.
The gift brings to $40 million the amount raised for the 11-story Clinical Sciences Center planned for the northwest corner of Michigan Avenue and Carlton Street, abutting the cancer center's main hospital building. The project is set to be completed in phases, with the first seven floors to be finished by 2015. An additional $10 million will be raised to build out the remaining floors.
Not enough can be said about the donors. In addition to New Era Cap, the "Circle of 10" donors pledged $10 million and a total of 435 donors contributed to the campaign. Another $10 million came from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute Corp.
New Era Cap's CEO, Christopher Koch, saw his father, David, die in 2002 of cancer. His gift makes possible a building that will add to the incredible growth and dynamic of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. The synergy being created involving new buildings, existing infrastructure and a critical mass of doctors, scientists and researchers will continue to enhance the area's reputation as a medical destination.
Projects already on the boards include a new $200 million Children's Hospital near the corner of Ellicott and High streets. Construction is due to begin next spring, with completion scheduled for early 2016. The University at Buffalo's new medical school should be open the same year. Other projects include the Gates Vascular Institute, the University at Buffalo's Clinical and Translational Research Center and Kaleida Health's new nursing home, HighPointe on Michigan.
Just recently, officials from Kaleida Health and Roswell Park announced plans to unify services for young patients with cancer and blood diseases under one roof at the recently renamed John R. Oishei Children's Hospital, a replacement for the Women & Children's Hospital campus on Bryant Street.
Roswell Park and Kaleida have been collaborating for nearly 40 years, but merging services for young people under one roof presents exciting opportunities to offer high-quality, comprehensive care.
Although the memorandum of understanding between the two institutions launches a complicated process, given Roswell Park's standing as a public benefit corporation and Kaleida's as a private, not-for-profit entity with multiple unions, that complexity should not be an impediment to progress. Unions and management should work together in moving this critical effort forward.
The medical campus continues a transformation that is benefiting the whole region as it becomes a hub for health care. Medical professionals, students and researchers are attracted by new, state-of-the-art facilities and the kinds of collaborations that allow better communication across platforms in a concentrated area.
This sort of progress is powered by the selflessness of philanthropists, both large and small. The community thanks them.

They're coming to take me away ha ha.
Dusty and Hendry believe
Dusty and Hendry believe that they will wake up today and find a completely different Corey Patterson then the one who has been playing in the major leagues since 2002 (or for that matter in the minors and majors since 1998). It is called the triumph of hope over experience. After all, he has all that talent and tools, say the scouts.
I don't know really who is more stubborn, Corey for maintaining his current approach to the game or Dusty and Hendry for continuing to believe this guy will work out. There is a certain grand madness to it. Mad is the word since all of the above keep repeating what they have done before but keep expecting different results.
Great minds think alike. I
Great minds think alike. I wrote my post before I saw the Insane Cubster's post. Time to open that second bottle of Jack Daniels.
I know we've been around the
I know we've been around the world and back with Murton/Cedeno discussions, but does anyone else think its really weird that of the 2 Cedeno's getting far more playing time?
The Cubs have no great options for Left Field, and it sure seemed like the hollandsworth trade would force Dusty's hand to play Murton. Yet he sits almost every night unless there is a lefty on the mound while Infielder Hairston and Pathetic Korey are playing.
Meanwhile, Cedeno - a guy I like, but who I don't think has nearly the potential of Murton - has been starting every other or every 3rd day. Now, I do think Cedeno should be starting over Neifi, and I realise that a lot of his starts are actually taking the bat away from Todd Walker, but of the two, Murton seems like the guy who should be playing a lot more.
So what do you think is Dusty's motive here? I can only think of two reasons, 1 - Dusty's never liked being told what to do, and he's rebelling against the trade of Todd Hollandsworth (much like how he reacted when Dubois was supposed to be named the starter earlier this year) or 2 - Dusty sees in Cedeno a little of whatever it is he sees in Neifi and Macias. (Or along those same lines, maybe the bench boys gave the kid a peek at the pictures)
Anyone else have any better ideas?
It's been said that a monkey
It's been said that a monkey typing on a keyboard, if given enough time, would come up with a great novel.
Is that dusty's approach to lineup selection?
We've already had ONE bad century...
some random queeries:
Resting Nomar? Another Oxymoron?
Is Dusty and Oxymoron in the same sentence qualify as a double entendre?
Does Dusty feel that if he shows that Nomar has worked hard enough for his $8 million this year, then could Dusty get $8 million if he worked twice as hard as Nomar?
Does coming up with a new lineup every day qualify as hard work or random work?
Dusty (and Hendry) are
Dusty (and Hendry) are fools...WHY ARE THEY PLAYING PATTERSON at all...? He just can't get on base...Bobby Cox would never play someone like Corey...He would have Murton out there almost every day...Cedeno and Murton should get LOTS of playing time. Yet, the Cubs management is stubborn...I can understand if Cedeno gets hurt then go with Neifi or Nomar but give these young guys a chance.
I can understand if Cedeno
I can understand if Cedeno gets hurt then go with Neifi or...
Don't tell me you posted this before they took Cedeno out of the game with an injury.
If you did, could you please say something nice about CPat so he can pull a hammy or sprain an ankle?
I love it when Henry Blanco
I love it when Henry Blanco hits the foul pole.
#9 Scott McClain
#24 Henry Blanco
I think McClain should consider a number change too.
Way to go Blanco -- great on
Way to go Blanco -- great on the Defense today and now a 2 run home run...Henry is hitting .317 over his last 27 games...He is quite an offensive powerhouse right now -- and the Cubs really benefit from players like him.
Patterson is 0 for 4 -- just what you would expect...WHY WON'T DUSTY PULL PATTERSON...? He may be a great defensive player but he just can't provide any help with the bat.
Dusty supporters...please
Dusty supporters...please justify placing Korey in the leadoff spot? Please?
Give me a break, dude.
Give me a break, dude. Corey, Neifi and Jose got pictures of me, that, well, let's just say you shouldn't get a portrait done of you, a pound of crystal meth, cuban cigars, weapons-grade uranium, 3 hamsters and a dead hooker.
Don't ever say I don't learn from my mistakes, dude. And hey, we're winning, isn't that enough?
Did Cedeno get hurt? As for
Did Cedeno get hurt? As for Murton, how do you know he can hit righties if he never plays against them? The conspiracy theory says he plays against lefties, builds up his stats-so they can get more for him in trade this off season. Otherwise, DEVELOP him against both righties and lefties and help him get ready for next year.
Dusty's Doghouse defined. I
Dusty's Doghouse defined.
I find it interesting that the person who has benefitted most from the dumping of Hollandsworth to Atlanta is Hairston (some would say Corey but I'm thinking left field on this one). Hairy has actually done fairly well both at the plate and in the field, but I recall Dusty saying something about LF being the toughest field to play when asked why he wasn't playing Hairston there earlier in the year. I guess it's all about contradictions when Dusty needs to justify his actions. Of course, Hairston was in Dusty's doghouse back then. Now that he only has rookies to play as an alternative, Hairston no longer qualifies as a dog houser. Hairy has made some nice plays in a tough sun field today. Still the concept of Dusty's Doghouse clearly isn't about who gets to play based on earning it through good play or being hot...it's about service or some intangible that gets him to show his loyalty to a player (or having those blackmailing photos).
Bond's activated Monday...no circus for the cubs this series.
Did anyone read the articles
Did anyone read the articles about the possibility of Nomar playing left field?...Imagine....Barrett/Blanco at Catcher, DLEE, Walker, Cedeno, Ramirez from 1st to 3rd, Nomah in Left, Damon in Center and Burnie in Right....Cedeno would be practically free, and Damon would come from the "Sammy Savings"...resign burnie for your third outfielder, bench of Blanco, Perez, Hairston, Murton, and Grieve/McClain/whomever....Bullpen filled from within with Prior, Z, Wood, Maddux, and Williams filling the rotation. If Ramirez pulls a groin, put Nomar there and Murton in left...if Walker gets hurt or Cedeno, play Neifi...or move Nomar in and put Murton in left...I don't know the odds of Nomar playing left, but, boy do I like our lineup:
Doesn't sound too bad to me at all...
Why does Dusty almost always
Why does Dusty almost always go with the same Bullpen pitchers...? He has not tried using Rich Hill in any game in the month of September...Rich Hill could be quite effective as a Bullpen pitcher IF Dusty would ever give him a chance.

"Corey, Neifi and Jose got pictures of me, that, well, let's just say you shouldn't get a portrait done of you, a pound of crystal meth, cuban cigars, weapons-grade uranium, 3 hamsters and a dead hooker."
Lol! Is it alright if I henceforth always refer to Jose Macias as "a pound of crystal meth, cuban cigars, weapons-grade uranium, 3 hamsters and a dead hooker". It's just a great nickname, so much better than "Gremlin". You don't mind do you?
Cubs IF: McClain, Neifi,
Cubs IF: McClain, Neifi, Macias, Lee.
Damn you DLee, you're keeping us from seeing the worst Infield in the history of the game.
Where's Todd Hollandsworth when you REALLY need him.
Patterson is 0 for 5 and
Patterson is 0 for 5 and Dusty still has him in the game (as a lead-off hitter)...What does Hendry think about this...? Send Patterson back down to Iowa to learn how to hit or trade him...Just my view.

That's a great idea. Hush, don't him the I-Cubs season ended and see if he notices when he get's off the airplane in Des Moines.
Dempster follows through and
Dempster follows through and the Cubs win (in spite of some crazy decisions by Dusty Baker)...;-)
Now that Scott McClain is
Now that Scott McClain is hitting .167
I suggest he switch from uniform #9 (ala Henry Blanco)
To do this he could pay Dusty a hefty amount to switch to #12, and instantly get to play every day as well as double his batting average.
for what its worth i'm a big
for what its worth i'm a big proponent for bringing nomar back. the risk/reward should be worth the price they'll have to pay to get him. if he's healthy, he's a great hitter. if he's willing to accept playing 2b, lf or ss, he's all the more valuable.
i love captain caveman but i can't see boston letting him go.
i said this before, i'll say it again: the entire offense is built off the lineup. if you know you have lee 3rd, ramirez 4th, 2, 6, 7 and 8 are not hard to fill. that leaves leadoff and 5 as the most important to fill. if we would have had good production from 1 and 5 2005 would have been different. that said, fill those spots, don't, however, count on nomar for one of them, and see this offense come alive. burnitz was productive this year for a 6 hitter-just not enough production for a 5.
as for the pitching, guzman will not be able to pitch 200 innnings-probably ever. put him in the bullpen. a # 3 starter is a must.
we need three players: leadoff, #5 hitter, #3 starter. set-up upgrade would be nice as well.
murton's minor league
murton's minor league platoon splits (from the NSBB board):
Murton at WT vs RHP:
at Iowa
vs RHP
vs. LHP
he hits righties just fine...
WILD CARD WATCH Cubs still
Cubs still not completely out of it. The fat woman is warming up though.
Houston 75-65 (10-12 to go 85-77 if 1-6 against cubs then 9-6 the rest of the games)
Florida 75-66 (10-11 all against winning teams)
Philly 74-67 (11-10)
Washington (12-7)
Milwawkee 70-71 (15-6)
Cubs (15-5 if go 6-1 against Houston then 9-4 in all other games)
Could this be a miracle season for the cubs???
We need to win tomorrow then sweep Cin. 4-0 Take 2 out of 4 from stl 6-2 2 out of 3 from mil. 8-3 2 out of 3 from Houston 10-4 split with pittsburgh 11-5 Sweep Houston 15-5.
wow. Cubs Win. But if there
wow. Cubs Win. But if there was ever anything that made me agree that baker should get his ass kicked and fired, it is today's lineup.
So fucking mind numbing. Quite simply, I'm mystified and stupified. This bullshit of refusing to play Murton and Cedeno who have done nothing but play lights out baseball. I've stayed quiet about it and let everyone else complain. My turn to yell AARRGGHHHH!!! I've truly never wished ill will on anyone in my life until now. It's way past time to throw Baker and CPat off the plane on the way home.
Chin scratchin time. Nice september from the Cubs thus far. 20 games left. What would a 15-5 record do for us? 8 games over 500. long shot. hard for this team to do. and it looks like the winner of the wild card will prolly be 10 over 500.
Just looking at RS and RA. Thinking, damn. We've scored more runs than every team above us in wild card race. (tied with Mil) But then you look at the RA and smack your forhead. THEN I looked one rung down at the Reds. Holy crap. 707 RS (cards-707 RS) then that glaring 771 RA. WOW!! I know the RS and RA don't mean that much but it is kinda an interesting stat to ponder and say if only...
I hope Hendry was watching
I hope Hendry was watching today. Because maybe he will have finally have seen the light on why Dusty sucks. How did he decide Patterson was the lead-off guy. Did Patterson call him at midnight again asking him to do it? Did he let Darren make-up the line-up? Does he actually think Patterson is a lead-off hitter? UFB I cant believe he pulled that shit again, of course I shouldnt be. Watching Baker manage is enough to bang ones head aganist a wall. GO Buckeyes!!!
Josh, Look at the matchups.
Look at the matchups. Houston has 7 against us 3 against FLA 3 against MIl and 2 against Stl. If we take 6 out of 7 Houston is done. Period. If Miluakee wins 2 out of 3 from Houston this would be the nail in the coffin. Florida probably has the best chance of winning the wildcard, so we have to pull for houston to sweep or at least win 2 out of 3. We do need some help but with so many teams playing each other we could still sneak in and suprise some people. The bottom line is WE MUST KEEP WINNING.
Heres another tidbit to
Heres another tidbit to think about. Has anyone noticed our team is better withour aram? (Poor defense, slow runner)
I say we try to trade Aram, Hill, & Mitre to the reds for Dunn this offseason. Sign Nomar to play 3rd. Sign Damon to play center. Heres my projected Lineup.
Dusty's right. It's well
Dusty's right. It's well known LF is the toughest to learn. That's why Dave Kingman played there. And when they put Ron Santo in the outfiled they chose... left field. And that's why defensive aces Cliff Johnson and Glenallen Hill have likewise patrolled this key area for the Cubs. And jay Johnstone and Moose Moran. You better be one hell of a fielder if you're playing left fot the Cubs. Right, Greg Gross? You bet, Scot Thompson.
Left field is to MLB what right field is to Little League.
Well John, sure you could.
Well John, sure you could. It's a little long, though, dude.
And Tbone, of course it's the hardest position to field. You have to cover more ground than any other outfield position, more hitters are righties, so you get more balls hit at you, and have you seen the funny dimensions of Wrigley in left field?
I just wish I had Chili Davis out there, keeping everything under control. What's he doing now, anyway?
A Different Kind Of Streak
NC Fan, The only reason
NC Fan,
The only reason that the Reds want to trade Dunn is because of the money he is going to make. They don't Aram.
I say we try to trade Aram,
I say we try to trade Aram, Hill, & Mitre to the reds for Dunn this offseason.
This would the worst trade in baseball history.
Aram is a better hitter than Dunn, and probably will always be. So why would we trade for a worse hitter than we would be giving up, and throw in two quality prospects?
Come on.
The 2006 schedule is being
The 2006 schedule is being released but the only facts I found are from the Astro's website.
Cubs are in Houston for July 4th.
So it looks like the Cubs will be playing vs the AL Central too.
Probably a trip to Minnesota and KC. Detroit and the Indians should be at WF (based on 2001) but the schedule makers might not be looking at past history.
The last time they played the AL Central was 2001.
(away vs. Detroit, ) (home vs. Minn, KC) (didn't play Cleve)
Other key series at Minute Maid Park include three matchups with the Chicago Cubs (June 5-7, July 3-5, and Aug. 14-16)
Houston opens at home vs the Marlins and Nats, then away vs. Giants, Dbacks.
Astro Interleague is vs the AL central (home vs. Rangers (natural rival) plus Royals, Twins; away vs. Whitesox, Tigers, Rangers)
Astros end the year vs. Cardinals at home and away vs. Atlanta (nice that it's no cakewalk)
Aram is a better hitter than
Aram is a better hitter than Dunn, and probably will always be.
I disagree, but this will never happen so arguing it is a waste.
I disagree What do you
I disagree
What do you disagree about? That Aram is better now? Or that Aram will always be? And why?
I'm with Dave and Chifan.
I'm with Dave and Chifan. That's an awful trade to give up ARam. Althout it's a fine lineup, it would be 10x better with ARam instead of Nomar. I would also say that ARam is better at D than Nomar. In fact, I encourage Aram not to run hard on ground outs for risk of injury, and the same for Nomar. Point: Give up on Nomar. He's done as a Star SS. He's a heckuva $2M+incentives SS.
We will play MIN in the dome. Also according to sox.com we play them at there place May 19-21. I am assuming we will play CLE due to the fact we did not play them last time. Because we haven't played alot of IL games I agree with Cubster that we will play KC and DET. giving us 18 IL games. If we want to win the division we need to go 12-6 in that span.
What do you disagree about?
What do you disagree about? That Aram is better now? Or that Aram will always be? And why?
Both. Dunn has just as much, if not more power. I think he has more by quite a bit. He also doesn't make as many outs. He may strikeout a lot, but he neutralizes it by getting the walk. I think Cub fans should know the value of walk and OBP%. It's what this club lacks dearly and is why I want Giles more than anyone.
Check this article
Check this article out...Dusty makes some comments about playing Patterson ...
No Bonds in series finale
I think Aram is a
I think Aram is a sammy/moises style player. Good stick. Bad Defense and could improve on OBP. I think if nomar could stay healthy he would actually be a better fit if we had Dunn in the lineup. With Damon Walker batting in front of Lee he wouldn't have trouble getting to 100 rbi's like he is this season. With Lee and Dunn OBP machines batting in front of nomar and burny this would give us a 2 tier attack at offense. I love Aram and like him on the team, but if we could upgrade hes the one out of the big 4 (lee, aram, prior, z) that I would be willing to part with. And I would say the worst trade in baseball history would probably be the one that involved babe ruth. or the walter johnson trade....
I think Cub fans should know
I think Cub fans should know the value of walk and OBP%.
Cub fans do know the value. Not much evidence that "managment/personnel/human resources" gets it. And there's the rub.
from Paul Sullivan in the
from Paul Sullivan in the Trib:
"I was just trying to do something and get him in the action right away," Baker said. "That was the thinking. It didn't work."
Patterson went 0-for-5 and saw only 12 pitches, leaving him with a .167 average since returning from his demotion to Triple-A Iowa.
Baker was hesitant to say whether he would try Patterson in the leadoff spot again.
"I don't know, man," he said. "It didn't work today, so Ö "
Here's a concept Dusty, the leadoff hitter has to PROVE (as in earn the leadoff spot) he can get on base before you insert him in that spot. Try putting someone with a decent OBP. who can work the pitch count as a leadoff hitter. It's not gonna happen MAGICALLY with CPat. 12 pitches in 5 AB's is pathetic. After all the fuss raised about CPat's tools this shows the problem is one of inability to learn and understand lessons taught.
Here's a concept Jim Hendry, next year give your manager a true leadoff hitter. Your manager doesn't understand what the qualities of a leadoff hitter are so...MAKE IT OBVIOUS who that guy is.
excerpted from Hal McCoy in
excerpted from Hal McCoy in the Dayton Daily News:
Q ó I made a bet before the season that Adam Dunn wouldn't hit his weight (270). Has he been losing any weight lately? Tell him to eat hearty. ó Chris, Miamisburg
A ó If he is going to do what he did to me last week, I hope he does lose about 50 pounds, even if it costs you your bet. He was sitting on a clubhouse couch (his massage recliner is still AWOL) when I knelt behind the couch to ask him a question. He leaned back on the couch to better hear me and suddenly I had a couch and 270 pounds of baseball player on top of my right thigh. I tried to lift the whole package. Fat chance. Ken Griffey Jr. and Austin Kearns came to my rescue, those humanitarians, and lifted the couch and Dunn off me. The top of my thigh is purple, '44' is stamped on my leg ... and I never did get an answer to my question.
Q ó Will the Reds try hard to sign Adam Dunn? I heard he prefers not to sign and would rather explore free agency. ó Dave, Colerain
A ó Dunn can explore all he wants until they call him Christopher Columbus, Vasco Da Gama, Ferdinand Magellan or Henry Hudson. He can't explore free agency until after the 2007 season. He is eligible for salary arbitration and the number will be high. Not only should the Reds sign him for next year, but they should sign him for five years. Yeah, he has mentioned he wouldn't mind playing for hometown Houston, probably so he can be closer to Texas football. But they do televise football games, even out of Texas.
Response to Post #44 by Mr.
Response to Post #44 by Mr. Magical Thinker. Again, the jive Dusty gives to the press and the fans come back to haunt him, in this case the line is that he has to play Corey and Neifi because he wants to win. Actually, if it was about winning games right now, then Corey would be firmly anchored to the bench. But as I pointed out as the No. 2 post above, the Cubs' management really want to hope that Corey wakes up one morning and become the player they have been dreaming on all these years. The triumph of hope over experience and I am afraid it may take the turning of the calendar, say Corey's 28th birthday, before the Cubs wake up from this particular dream.
To be succient, he put Corey at lead-off to see if could get him out of this season long slump.
If you read the opening chapters of Moneyball, Michael Lewis portrays the young Billy Beane, so like Corey in talent and results. It would not be a surprising Irony to see Corey as a sabermetrically inclined GM in 20 years.
NCFAN: excuse me, but you
NCFAN: excuse me, but you are friggin' delusional
Here's the deal from Mr.
Here's the deal from Mr. Obvious: Left field requires little throwing arm and with a good centerfielder, little speed. Easiest outfield spot to fill. 2b requires little arm and less range than shortstop. For years, teams have moved avaerage to marginal infielders to second base. Many a good hitting catcher or 3rd baseman was moved to leftfield.
As for Aramis, he's a better hitter than Adam Dunn. He has power to all fields, a good eye and hits for average. Dunn, on the otherhand has power and a good eye. Add in that 3b is a much harder position to fill (how many did we try since Santo?) and you have absolutely no reason to trade a 3b like Aramis in his late 20's.
On another note, lets say the Cubs sign a free agent or trade for a #3 starter. I'd say the pitching staff would look something like this:
1. Prior
2. Zambrano
3. ?
4. Wood
5. Maddux
closer: Dempster
loogy: ohman
setup: upgrade-veteran
rh middle: Novoa
Lh middle: Hill
rh middle: guzman
I think the Cubs will attempt to upgrade their primary setup man but like enough of what they see in Novoa to keep him. That tells me Michael Wuertz will be moved. They want to upgrade their rotation and include Wood, so you'd guess if they keep Jerome Williams, he'll take Wuertz' spot and be available for emergency starting. I can't believe they have any room for Aardsma at this point, especially with their desire for someone with more experience. I'd say Mitre, Aardsma, Wellemyer and more than likely Jerome Williams, will be dealt in the off season. Guzman for all his ailes will be given every opportunity to play a prominent role in the bullpen. Not even the Cubs are dumb enough to think he can give you 180 to 200 innings, however, they still rave about his ability.
Last but not least, I don't see them going 12 pitchers next year. They want quality over quantity.
Hey, hey...Murton plays
Hey, hey...Murton plays against a righty, albeit it 's Brett Tomko (7-14)
Today's lineup:
CPat on the bench
Hairy leads off
MURTON bats 8th
the only bad is Neifi bats 2nd, but with Cedeno hurt we knew he'd be in there.
So Cedeno's going down means at least Walker plays against both lefty's and rightys. Silly but that's dustyball.
Hal McCoy--"He was sitting
Hal McCoy--"He was sitting on a clubhouse couch (his massage recliner is still AWOL) when I knelt behind the couch to ask him a question."
I know it's a bit late now, Hal, but in future I would recommend that you sit down on the couch alongside Adam Dunn. This not only prevents you from having to write extremely weird lines such as "I knelt behind the coach to scratch the back of his neck ask him a question" in your columns, it also means you don't get your leg crushed.
Hal again--"Q ó Will the Reds try hard to sign Adam Dunn? I heard he prefers not to sign and would rather explore free agency. ó Dave, Colerain
A ó Dunn can explore all he wants until they call him Christopher Columbus, Vasco Da Gama, Ferdinand Magellan or Henry Hudson [but he's not a free agent until after 2007]."
Regarding Ryan Dempster as closer, 49 IP, 41 H, 1 HR, 2.20 ERA, 3.42 GB/FB, 26/28 in saves. There's a lot to like there, but I'm really not convinced he's worth bringing back. It's to do with the 22 BB, 40 K, 1.48 WHIP, really, that and the fact he's been noticeably lucky (Pujols line drives picking out infielders, etc). Here, let me list the other closers with K/BB ratios below 2.00 in 2005 (min 5 saves) -- Bob Wickman, Jason Isringhausen, Danys Baez, Braden Looper, Jose Mesa, Yhenzy Brazoban, Brandon Lyon, Armando Benitez, Brian Bruney, Dan Kolb, Danny Graves, Shingo Takatsu, Troy Percival, Octavio Dotel. I think you get my drift, because there you've got three good closers (two of which were injured, Benitez and Dotel, and one that's getting old, Isringhausen) and the rest is the cast of "Closers From Hell: When Leads Are Pissed Away". Anyway, I'm perfectly happy with Dempster as long as it's a short-term commitment and we're not spending much money on him, but, hmm, longer or more would scare me away, and that's what he's likely to get as a free agent.
Mr. Tightpants, Kyle
Mr. Tightpants, Kyle Farnsworth just got his 6th save in a month for the Braves. A popup and 2K's to end the 9th vs the Nats.
This is a multiple choice question:
Why, does this alway happen soon departed ex-Cubs?
a) Is it the magic of soon becoming a free agent?
b) Is it the Bobby Cox/Leo Mazzone magic?
c) Is it the Cubs impatience with talented headcases?
d) Is it the Billy Goat?
e) Is it home cooking for Kyle (he's from Atlanta)?
f) all of the above
(note that CPat is a free agent in 2007, and he's from Atlanta too...good luck to the Braves on that one)

Regarding Dempster as
Regarding Dempster as closer: see 3rd base...in other words, the Cubs have looked far too long now for an effective closer. They'll re-sign Dempster.
Macias PH for Murton... Why
Macias PH for Murton...
Why do I even bother listening..?
Dusty Baker: "Hey kid, good
Dusty Baker: "Hey kid, good job! Now sit your stupid rookie ass on the bench."
"Macias, come here boy!"
*Macias runs up and hugs Dusty like a father. Dusty looks glowingly down upon his little gremlin like a father*
Dusty: "Your turn to bat!"
Macias: "I will make you proud Mr. Baker, I will swing on the first ball thrown to me."
Dusty: "Thats my boy. MURTON!!! This is where rookies learn how to play better. Watch Macias."
Murton: *under his breath* I hate this team...
that'd be funny if only
that'd be funny if only you'd actually watch the game insted of working on your comedy routine.
macias hit for williamson...patterson replaced hairston who replaced murton in the *8th* after murton popped out in the top 8th.
murton wouldnt have come up again unless the game got tied again.
and if you still think murton is just gonna sit on the bench for the hell of it...well...be prepared to be suprised or maybe find some way to blame dusty for cedeno's injury, im sure it can be done if someone tries hard enough.
"murton wouldnt have come up
"murton wouldnt have come up again unless the game got tied again."
well..tie or a buncha hits...
seriously...are there a
seriously...are there a lotta people here who think murton is just gonna play vs. lefties from here on out or battle like hell with patterson?
im sure there are...but c'mon...there's a little more to "dusty ball" than playing a vet cuz he's a vet...and yeah, i still see murton getting 80 ab's easy...and yeah, its a damn shame cedeno's gone down
okay...i understand the
okay...i understand the frustration with dusty, but seriously...is it really on this level? there's been wins-galore with a week now and people still got stuff to bitch about and very little good to say.
a lotta people cant even compliment cedeno/murton without giving them a death sentence in the same post.
yeah, the year is 99.99% over...yeah, dusty didnt make all the right moves...and yeah, there are some of us who believe the players did a whole lot more to blow this than the lineup jockey.
if murton played every game from here on out...which he most likely wont...there would still probally be people saying hendry "made him" do it.
hating a guy is one thing, but wow...there's still a team out there on the field.
if murton gets his 70-80ab's is that dusty paying attention or is it murton earning his shot?
yeah, some people think it should have happened earlier, but some people also think murton (and cedeno's) time is later and not now...not cuz they're "out of the race" but cuz they've still got a bit to prove.
geez...this is a HUGE milestone in his progress.
replicating this...even just putting it down the LF line and not over the wall would be a huge step for him and would show a lot about his improving game.
today murton took a big ass step in his career.
I say 3rd base in general
I say 3rd base in general isn't as hard a position to fill these days. I think 3 years of Nomar then sign a young free agent. I believe this team would click better with a healthy Nomar next year.
Just so you know, Crunch,
Just so you know, Crunch, Murton's going to need 4 at-bats in every single one of the remaining 17 games in September to reach 80 at-bats on the month.
macias hit for
macias hit for williamson...patterson replaced hairston who replaced murton in the *8th* after murton popped out in the top 8th.
murton wouldnt have come up again unless the game got tied again.
So what you're saying is Dusty screwed up the double switch yet again. Apparently he still hasn't figured out that the point of the double switch is to have the pitcher bat LATER in the game.
As far as Murton not batting again without a tie or a bunch of hits, I believe he was technically taken out of the game in the middle of the 8th, when he would have been due to hit 4th in the 9th inning. Which is why we saw Macias pinch hitting there. All it took was 1 hit.
Seriously, How can ANYONE whose managed NL baseball for nearly 15 years still not know the point of a double switch?
BTW, I actually do think
BTW, I actually do think we'll be seeing Murton in most games from here on out.
After Saturday's game, Dusty was talking about Corey in much the same vain as he talked about Holly when the decision was made to let Dubois start for a few weeks.
I predict from here on out, Murton will be starting almost everyday. BUT we will continue to see him pulled in the late innings - frequently in backass double switches. (Yes, exactly the same way Dubois was used during his brief term as "starter")
Your right, I didn't watch
Your right, I didn't watch the game. I just did my spoof off of what SM said.
Doesn't mean it isn't based in truth, hehe.
It is September 12th, and Murton has had 13 AB's. Something seriously wrong with that.
yeah, i dont got a problem
yeah, i dont got a problem with the spoof...i just dont get the sudden god-like status of prospects while heaping crap on a manager and ignoring progress in the prospects tools...the things theyre supposed to be working on and actually achieving it.
i just dont get that. the one thing murton has needed to show and he shows it...yeah, he's done it before...off some 21/23 year olds in AA who mostly throw fastballs and bad breakers anyway...but wow, he pulled that bat handle into himself and parked one out with authority, one thing that's been missing from his game.
you better believe if he does that again sometime soon he'll be seeing a lot more outside/middle working on him from righties. it'll be interesting to see how cin chooses to handle him.
whatever he's been doing or whoever he's been listening to about his need to pull, it looked damn nice yesterday.
im a murton fan...this is exciting crap to me to see him go inside and hit it off the fat of the bat insted of swinging through it or hitting it 50-150ft. off the skinny of the bat.
he laid meat on that and BLAM...if he does it again any time soon advanced scouts better get to work telling their clubs to pitch him down and hope he keeps it out of the air as their only solution to murton.
That was indeed a beautiful
That was indeed a beautiful sight. I like Murton more and more all the time. He seems like a smart ballplayer and a student of the game. I can't see any reason for him not to be the starting LF next year. I'd like to see him & Giles in the corners.
between murton's eye and his
between murton's eye and his ability to adapt...so far so good. continued success should be a boon to the team and its payroll flexability.
no need to overpay for a backup SS...esp. one that's expanding his game to cover 2nd in murton. that leaves hairston to CF unless they decide to spend big...the pen/RF/SS and perhaps a 5th starter could be well within reach of the cubs in top order if murton can show he's worth a 5-8m replacement player.
no need to overpay for a
no need to overpay for a backup SS...esp. one that's expanding his game to cover 2nd in CEDENO...that is...
and once again, for those that believe he's a starter, nix that suggestion...hehe

A left-handed one...
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

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.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.

Opening a baseball training facility in an area that has developed high school and college baseball all-stars seemed like a natural choice for Pro Performance Baseball Academy owner Tim Gansrow.
The Mount Pleasant resident has open Pro Performance Baseball Academy training facility on Wando Park Boulevard within the popular Velocity Sports Performance Training Center.
Gansrow has already made an impression with the residents in the Mount Pleasant as one of the popular instructors in the area for players of all ages for youth, travel and high school baseball and fastpitch.
As the cornerstone of Pro Performance Baseball Academy, Gansrow was a solid all-around baseball player in college, excelling at hitting and fielding.
Coupled with his passion for the game and being an excellent communicator, he went on to a position as hitting instructor at a college in the northeast.
With a growing family, Gansrow's path led him to become a police officer and first responder. After 20 years of service as a New York Police Department Supervisor and FBI task force lead for terrorism, Gansrow, his wife Tracy and their three children settled in Mount Pleasant.
Gansrow then faced an even greater challenge in cancer. After winning that battle after years of chemotherapy, he had an epiphany to return to his true love: baseball.
With hundreds of young players now attending Pro Performance Baseball Academy in such a short time, the future looks exciting for developing young players into the best they can be.
"We recently added camps for April 3-5 and summer camps held at Mount Pleasant Recreation during the week of July 22 and with Daniel Island Recreation during the week of July 8 to keep up with the demand," Gansrow said in a news release.
Pro Performance Baseball Academy is a leading provider for professional baseball and softball instruction for players of all skills and ages 5 to adult.

The beef industry received word from Tyson Fresh Foods that effective Sept. 6 they will no longer buy finished cattle that have been fed a drug called Zilmax.
Their letter stated that some cattle had been received at the plant that were lame or in some cases down on the truck.
They did state that the reason was unknown, however some animal health officials had suggested that Zilmax may have been a contributing factor.
Of course some feedlots are feeding the beta-agonist the last portion of the feeding period to significantly increase growth, most of which was lean or muscle growth to increase profitability – or cut losses.
I feel this has raised some interesting questions and concerns.
I have questioned for several years who will dictate to the beef industry what practices can be used in cattle production, FDA (Food and Drug Administration), or the government or the purchaser of the product, in this case Tyson Foods.
Zilmax, a feed additive had undergone rigorous testing by scientists, reviewed and finally approved by FDA.
Of course no beef producer who cares about the welfare of the animal or the quality of the beef produced will feed something that adversely affects either of these areas.
So did the scientists and FDA miss something?
I would be interested to know the evaluation and trace back of these cattle — has the percentage of the lame or down cattle actually increased?
How much and how long was the product fed?
Is it related to size of cattle, the feeding background, feedlot conditions, other feed additives or growth promotants utilized, breed or breed type, other ration components, distance hauled and when were the cattle loaded plus many other factors could be considered?
It will also be interesting to see how and who will pursue the issue, if there are in fact problems.
I will find it interesting also to see how feeders and other packers will react.
If other packers accept these cattle and feeders continue to use the profitable product, will the other major packers get the majority of the cattle fed and will this essentially take one buyer, of an already small marketing options, off the market?
Will other packers follow suit?
If Tyson does buy less cattle, can they fill their kill with their own feeding alliance and captive supply cattle?
As I stated earlier, if Zilmax is a detriment to the well-being of the animal, then it is difficult to support its use even though it was approved by FDA.
I must ask, what is reasonable to sacrifice in modern, approved technology in the beef industry when we already have stiff competition from other lower-priced protein sources?
Was McDonalds move to dictate the size of cages for layers a good move, and is that an indication as to what will come along for all livestock production?
Where and who is giving the food industry input as to what is proper?
Does the beef industry have a strong enough voice at the table?
As we look to the future and consider the predictions of population growth throughout the world, it raises questions on how food will be produced.
Some continue to stress the needs to go back to the basics and feel many technological advances are a detriment to the environment, while others feel we must adapt technology if we will have an ample affordable food supply for the world population.
There is no question we have gained considerably by utilizing technology that has been introduced in the past whether it be hybrid crops or improved genetics of livestock.
For example, we currently we have one-third less cows than 50 years ago and yet produce the same amount of beef.
One of the challenges of the beef industry comes from environmental groups that feel that cattle are damaging to the environment and point to confined feeding or feedlots as the major contributor.
The concept of grass-fed beef is even promoted by some that are in cattle production, plus it seems many things we hear today stress products that are "green" stretching from energy to protein including beef.
Grass-fed beef is often touted as utilizing "green" production that is more friendly to the environment and healthier to the consumer.
Sounds great, until you consider the facts and compare grass-fed beef production with intensive production utilizing grain concentrates in the feedlot, plus utilizing all of the available technologies for growth and feed efficiency.
A comparison of finishing cattle on grass versus in a feedlot was recently made at Washington State University and presented at both the annual meeting of American Society of Animal Science and later at National Beef Cattlemen's Association summer meetings in Denver.
The researchers developed a model where grass-fed beef was grown at 1.9 pounds per day to cattle in a confined feeding program grown at 3.50 pounds per day.
It was interesting to me to see the great differences in energy required to produce the cattle with the two systems.
It required a total of 47 mega joules of energy for the feedlot cattle versus 118 for the grass fed cattle or 2.5 times greater for the forage fed cattle.
In regards to the "green" concept, the forage-produced cattle emitted three times more methane (149 versus 53 mega joules) — not less, for the total growing period.
The researchers calculated the total land needed for the two systems and found the grass fed cattle needed 12.8 times more land. Although not published, they would also need more water for the production period.
In regard to methane, cattle do emit some methane in the rumination and eruption process, however it is such a small part of the so-called greenhouse gases that it is a very low contributor and yet it continues to get a lot of attention from the environmental groups as they point to cattle.
The facts are rice fields and rain forests produce more methane than cattle, and that is worldwide, so if cattle in the U.S. didn't produce any methane, it would only affect world methane production around 1 percent.
So when we hear how we need to turn the clock backwards in beef production and get rid of technologies that improve efficiency of beef production and lowers the cost of beef to producers, we need to ask which few producers will be left and which few consumers will eat Beef.
Let's not let it be "Beef, its what used to be for dinner." ❖

A man nursed a wound early Monday as investigators looked into who pistol-whipped him and stole a car from his home.
Two men burst into an Argos Avenue home about 10 a.m. One of the men struck the victim with a gun.
Orlando Police Department officers say one or both of the culprits apparently fled the home in the silver 2010 Chevy Camaro that was parked outside the home.
It was not immediately clear whether the invaders took anything else.
The victim declined a trip to the hospital.
The stolen vehicle's Florida tag number is M183VB.
Officers are searching for two or three men involved in this case. Anyone with information should contact Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.

Madden NFL 17 (Xbox 360)
What a week with Madden's new features and obsessive details did for my love-hate relationship with my childhood team.
Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox 360)
Lara Croft's latest adventure delivers a satisfying action game that also brings back some the puzzle solving and tomb raiding that the series cut its teeth on, even if it's a bit easier than what loyalists might be used to.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox 360)
The latest entry in the Call of Duty series is all about cybernetic soldiers, increased mobility, and zombies.
LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack (Xbox 360)
It has all the usual "toys-to-life" bugbears, but Lego Dimensions is packed with great characters, clever puzzles and a physical experience you won't get anywhere else.
FIFA 16 (Xbox 360)
FIFA 16 continues its solid track record by improving on an already winning formula and introducing Women's International Teams for the very first time.
LEGO Jurassic World (Xbox 360)
Lego Jurassic World freshens up the formula. You can insert your own bone-related pun here.
Battlefield Hardline (Xbox 360)
Battlefield Hardline takes the fight to the streets, but does this new episodically framed first-person shooter take the series in a welcome direction?
Far Cry 4 (Xbox 360)
Far Cry 4 borrows a lot from the last game, but it adds enough excitement, fresh ideas and a brilliant new landscape to warrant the return trip.
Dragon Age: Inquisition (Xbox 360)
Dragon Age Inquisition isn't perfect -- but pretty close and very easily the best in the series by a wide margin.
The Evil Within (Xbox 360)
Certainly an acquired taste, The Evil Within is sure to satiate the horror fanatic. For those with an appetite for an investment-heavy exploit through the mind of a madman, The Evil Within is more than capable, even with a few bumps along the way.

In October 2009, during Fallcoming lunch in Commons dining hall, members of the Kirkland Mentoring Group introduced themselves to Hamilton students. They spent the next couple of hours listening to students — finding out what they were interested in, and how they might be able to help.
There are now a dozen Kirkland mentors, including a professional mentor who helps young artists develop careers, and a lawyer, who's an expert in Indian affairs. These mentors are happy to help students with resumes, and also help them apply to graduate schools, find internships, and connect with prospective employers. But they are also glad to relate in fun ways: Recently mentors and students have swapped e-mails about Paris, and chatted over rice and beans in Manhattan.
Each member of the Kirkland Mentoring Committee has a description of her education and career path. If you're interested in finding out what a Kirkland mentor can do for you, view a list of mentors and their bios.
If you have any questions about mentoring or are interested in joining the committee, please e-mail Mentoring Committee Chair Susie Hartman at email@example.com.

Lynne was born Aug. 31, 1952, in Salem, a daughter of Richard and Joanne Berryman.
She graduated from Columbiana High School in 1970 and from Bowling Green State University in 1974 where she was a member of the Delta Zeta Sorority. Knowing she always wanted to be a teacher, she taught third grade at Reilly School 30 years and first grade at Buckeye School for five years. All 35 years were with the Salem City Schools where she retired in 2009.
She was a dedicated member of Grace Church, Columbiana where she served as a Sunday school teacher, member of the Board of Christian Education and the tape ministry.
After retiring, she loved spending time in her backyard AKA "Hippley World" reading by the bubbling pond and potting shed and also watching many basketball games. She also enjoyed going to lunch and walking with her friends. Her greatest joy was the time spent with her three granddaughters, Ellie, Maddie, and Lily.
Her memories will be remembered and cherished by those she leaves behind: her parents, her sons, Jeffrey and his wife, Amy and granddaughters, Ellie, Maddie, and Lily of Massillon; David and his girlfriend, Ji Youn Kim of Irvine, Calif.; and her brother, Jim and his wife Carol of Columbiana.
Friends and family may call from 1 to 3 and 5 to 8 p.m. Sunday at the Warrick-Kummer-Rettig Funeral Home, 28 N. Main St., Columbiana.
A memorial service for Lynne will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Nov. 5, 2012, at Grace Church, 140 S. Main St., Columbiana, with the Rev. Dr. Robert C. Joy officiating.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Lynne may be made to Grace Church Memorial Fund, Hospice of the Valley, 5190 Market St., Youngstown, Ohio 44512 or Columbiana Public Library.
The family would like to thank Lynne's doctors, nurses, and all other workers at the Salem Community Hospital, Seidman Cancer Center at University Hospital, Cleveland, and Hospice of the Valley for their compassionate and loving care. A special thanks is extended to our Grace Church family for helping us through this difficult time.

Benjamin has been sick this week and we have been up every other hour while on vacation in Pittsburgh visiting my in-laws.
I joked with my husband this week that my body has gotten used to the no sleep!
Can you sleep a bit for me tonight?

I so know what a blessing that is! :)ReplyDelete
You know what happens when I don't get a full night's sleep. It's not pretty!ReplyDelete
Did you end up napping anyway today?
Yay for sleep! How awesome!ReplyDelete
Clark sleeps through the night without nursing about 50% of the time now, and I am loving the days he doesn't wake up. 10 months of not sleeping longer than 3-4 hours at a time was rough, but I can't imagine when I have more kids!
Oh that's so cool!ReplyDelete
wow, I can't even imagine... hope you get to do it again soon!ReplyDelete
lucky you :DReplyDelete
I am so waiting for that. It's been - umm - years lol. :)ReplyDelete
