Preface: When Did All This Start?
What this means if you have not been on Live since July 2004 you can upgrade your HD now and get back on Live without worry.
It also means that if you have been using the same HD since July 2004 (IE you upgraded before that time) you are also safe from ban.
Chapter 1: What Is Marriage Theory?
Marriage Theory is simple, when you first log in to XBOX Live your Eeprom and Hard Drive serial number are "married" or linked together in whatever files MS has on their servers.
Chapter 2: OK, So What Does That Mean?
Well it means that instead of just banning the Eeprom, as in the past, you Hard Drive is also banned.
Additionally, it means that if either Eeprom or Hard Drive are changed without the other (IE: HD upgrade after using Live or Eeprom replacement after banning) you will get banned.
**UPDATE** It seems that while eeproms are married to HDs the Hard Drives can be polygamists, an unbanned (yet not "virgin") HD can be married to multiple Eeproms. So moving an unbanned Hard Drive to a new xbox will not result in a ban, even if the HD has been on Live with another Xbox.
Chapter 3: Whatever, Just Tell Me How Do I Get Around It?
Well, obvious solution, don't change HDs after using Live. However, if you must, you can do 1 of 2 things...
Option 1: Set up a switch to use your old Hard Drive on Live.
Option 2: Obtain and flash a new Eeprom at the same time you upgrade your Hard Drive.
And as always, never, EVER connect to Live with your modchip enabled.
Chapter 4: What If I Am Already Banned? What Do I Do Now?
As before you will need to obtain an unbanned Eeprom, however now you will also need to obtain an unbanned Hard Drive (you can still keep your old one if it is an upgraded HD using Option 1 from Chapter 3)
**UPDATE** See Chapter 5 below
Chapter 5: Flagged GamerTags
Guess I was wrong on this one folks, it seems MS is indeed flagging GamerTags, if you have been banned under a particular GamerTag it seems to be scrutinized more closely, and will get you banned again if you have any upgraded Hard Drive (even if you comply with Marriage Theory and have the chip off)
Obvious solution: get a new GamerTag.
However you can still use a flagged GamerTag provided you only sign on with a stock Hard Drive (see Chapter 3, Option 1)
I do not believe they are actually banning GamerTags, if you receive a messege saying your account has been suspended for 1-3 months this is not due to a modified Xbox, this is due to complaints and negative feedback from other players. This is generally a direct result of your actions during games, these negative actions include rudeness, swearing, racial and ethnic slurs, cheating, teamkilling and generally being a buttnugget. Take your suspension, do your time and when you come back just grow up.
Once again I would like to stress this is merely the working theory for whats going on with the recent bannings, I do not claim to know for certain what is going on at MS headquarters or in Billy G's head.

Teenage mother from Del City charged with murder
Jennifer Respicio threw her 7-month-old baby into crib, police say
UPDATED 5:06 PM CDT Apr 30, 2013
A 14-year-old teenager from Del City has been charged with killing her own baby.
According to investigators, Jennifer Respicio acknowledged throwing her 7-month-old baby into a crib after an argument with a sibling on April 21.
Doctors at the emergency room where the baby was seen said the injuries were consistent with child abuse.
The girl's neighbors say they are upset about the situation.
"The fact that she's even that young and she's a mother, just the abuse along with it, it's disgusting. I have a child. I couldn't imagine something like that happening to my child," said Sarah Blake.

South Carolina and Clemson could add talented wide receivers to their 2014 commitment classes very soon. USC is waiting on the call from Tyshun Samuel of Chapman, while Clemson will learn Wednesday if it is getting Josh Malone of Gallatin, Tenn.
Samuel picked up an offer from the Gamecocks while visiting for the Coastal Carolina game.
"I just loved everything about it," Samuel said last week. "I loved the whole football side of things with the way they do things, to the locker room...and the academics were really nice."
Chapman coach Mark Hodge said Samuel was impressed.
"I know he's super excited," Hodge said. "He was flattered. It's a top 10 school — you can't do much better than that. I'd like for him to get it done before the Shrine Bowl."
North Carolina is the other school Samuel has had strong interest in, but the Tar Heels have not officially offered. Vanderbilt was another favored program, but he has not heard much from there recently.
Malone seems to be down to Clemson and Tennessee. He visited both officially along with Ohio State, Georgia and Florida State.
Tennessee coaches were in to see him last week, and Clemson coach Dabo Swinney is scheduled for an in-home visit Monday, as are coaches from Tennessee. Malone is set to make his announcement Wednesday at 1 p.m. during a ceremony at his school.
In other recruiting news:
Linebacker Raekwon McMillan of Hinesville, Ga., has set his announcement date for Dec. 16. He took an official visit to Clemson for The Citadel weekend and made his last official visit over the weekend to Auburn, switching that visit from Florida. He has also been to Ohio State, Georgia and Alabama.
McMillan also visited Clemson for the Georgia and Florida State games. He has not talked publicly since his official visit, but Clemson has always been strong with him.
"I've liked Clemson for a long time," McMillan said last month. "I know everything about Clemson. And I like the way coach (Brent) Venables attacks with the linebackers and blitzes off the edge."
Defensive end Dante Sawyer of Suwanee, Ga., will make his college decision known on his birthday, Dec. 17. Sawyer has had USC, Auburn, Tennessee and Missouri as his favorites. Sawyer has been to games this season at USC, Auburn, Tennessee and Georgia. Sawyer said last month that USC was "up there" with him as recruiter Deke Adams is selling him on the fact the Gamecocks are losing both of their starting defensive ends. Sawyer has never publicly stated a favorite.
Offensive lineman Kareem Are of Fort Scott (Kansas) JC made his official visit to USC over the weekend.
"It was the loudest stadium I've been in yet," Are said. "It was a real good visit. I met with the offensive line coach and met most of the offensive linemen."
Are also has taken official visits to Florida State and Penn State. He is considering a visit to Mississippi, and his Ole Miss recruiter is going to visit with him Tuesday.
USC recruiter Grady Brown also plans to visit with Are and his teammate, Gamecocks commitment DL Abu Lamin, on Tuesday. Are said he is looking at making his decision on or by Dec. 9. Among the three schools he's visited, Are said there is no favorite at this point.
Defensive back Wesley Green of Lithonia, Ga., a former USC commitment, was in Columbia for the Clemson game as he continues to weigh his options. Green had an in-home visit with Georgia Sunday. He will set up official visits with USC, Georgia, Tennessee and Ole Miss and won't make a decision until January. He's not claiming a favorite.
Shrine Bowl defensive line prospects Dexter Wideman of Saluda and Naquez Pringle of Carvers Bay planned to be at USC on Saturday. Wideman has been committed to Florida State, and his coach said Friday that Wideman has not told him anything differently but USC is still a player.
"His head is spinning," coach Doug Painter said. "He goes back and forth."
USC recruiter GA Mangus and Florida State recruiter Jay Graham were in to see Wideman late last month.
Painter said Wideman has not indicated to him when he'll finalize a decision. After the Shrine Bowl, Wideman will play in the Under Armour All-American Game. Wideman finished the season with 71 tackles and 6 sacks with 11 tackles for loss.
Pringle played Friday in the Division I-A state title game. He said earlier in the week he has offers from USC, Clemson and N.C. State. He has also gotten interest from Tennessee. He finished the season with 76 tackles and 6 sacks.
Defensive end Andrew Williams of McDonough, Ga., was at the Clemson-USC game. Both teams are high on his list and he plans to take official visits to both. He also plans to set official visits with Auburn and Ole Miss. Notre Dame, Auburn and Tennessee also are on his short list. Williams also has visited Clemson, Tennessee and Georgia Tech for games this season. He does not claim a leader at this point.
Running back Bryce Love of Wake Forest, N.C., planned to be at USC again Saturday with his parents, both USC graduates. Love also visited Clemson during the season and is considering the Tigers. His offers include USC, Clemson, Tennessee, North Carolina, Ohio State, Penn State, Georgia Tech, Northwestern, Stanford, N.C. State, Duke, Arkansas, East Carolina and Virginia Tech. He does not have any favorites.
USC and Miami are the current favorites of junior DB Rashard Causey of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., who planned to fly to Columbia on Friday and stay for the weekend.
"I have the same feeling between the two," he said, "but if I had to choose, I would choose South Carolina. I like their defensive style, and one of my best friends, Skai Moore, plays for them, and it would be nice to play with him again."
Causey plans to make a decision before his senior season. This will be his second trip to USC. He stopped by in July while making a tour of several schools. USC recruiter Grady Brown was down to check on Causey recently and he says the two talk every day, as he does with his Miami recruiter.

Please leave suggestions for hot apps that should be featured in the comments section, thanks!
Oops, something didn't work.
Implode is excellent and very addictive, trying for all those A+'s
Shame you got stuck with Romo! ha ha
I would be nice to see some Indie Games featured, and not just publicity for the XBox Live titles, which get enough promotion as it is.
Anyhow Imploed looks quite interesting, even though it is yet another 2D game. I thought WP7 could do 3D Graphics like the IPhone ?
What a great episode of Ping!! -_-
Hey Laura! Awesome Videos!!! I'm a wp7 developer and you should check out a couple of our apps, we are under the name Neuralnet.
Love Text
Theme Park Pro
Mortal Kombat Tactics
@Paul II:thought it weird it was listed as ping, maybe Laura is trialing what it'd be like doing it solo. Though we wouldn't let her replace you.
Great Show.
Laura, it would be cool to have a page that listed all the hot apps you have reviewed, perhaps with a sentence summing them up, video link and a link to the web store maybe?.
I sometimes check out Hot Apps, but this girl needs to drink less coffee or something. She moves around too much and it makes it almost unwatchable for me.
Another great show! Will definitely be checking out Implode and Collapse. You should definitely try out the new Pocket Party Game, which is basically a charades/pictionary/password game all in one.

Capacitive Micromotor
Application ID: 17235
This tutorial shows how to model a 2D capacitive micromotor. The motor consists of a rotor and a stator made of polysilicon. The cogs of the stator are subjected to a time-varying pulsed voltage such that the voltage on adjacent cogs vary by a phase difference of 2p/3. As a result, a time-varying torque acts on the rotor thereby rotating it about its center.
This model shows how to use an electrostatics analysis to solve a quasi-static electrical model of the micromotor. An ODE is used to find the angular displacement by setting up the equation of rotary motion. Furthermore, the angular displacement evaluated is used to prescribe the rotation of the mesh on the rotor and in the adjoining air region to account for the transient motion of the micromotor.

News from MyHeritage UK – 16 August 2011
Well, it's definitely been a busy few weeks for UK genealogy. As I'm sure most UK-based people will relate to, we tend to keep many things for the summer months- and genealogy and family history interests tend to subscribe to that notion.
On the 10th August series 8 of the BBC's 'Who Do You Think You Are' kicked-off with June Brown, otherwise known as Dot Cotton from Eastenders. The programme is often lauded with sparking a genealogical revolution in the UK and definitely hasn't lost its edge over the last 7 series. The first installment didn't disappoint with a bare-knuckle fighter, persecution and the Spanish Inquisition all components of June's fascinating family history.
I'm told that the next episode (showing tomorrow on BBC1 at 9pm) charts the family history of JK Rowling and her French roots, including a 'shocking' revelation about her great grandfather - definitely one to watch.
Another bit of excellent news is that The Society of Genealogists' Summer Membership Special Offer is now on. They are offering to completely waive the joining administration fee, which should make membership more accessible for many.
And finally, as if we didn't need reminding about how popular genealogy is at the moment, the West Glamorgan Archive Service has just released figures that show that they've had their busiest year ever. According to Archive staff, the rise in popularity has in part been due to the popular BBC Wales series 'Come Home', on which celebrities trace their Welsh heritage for all to see.
Blimey, this genealogy stuff is getting more popular by the minute.

Nov. 28
James McClendon, 50, of 21st Street, Niagara Falls, pleaded guilty in State Supreme Court to taking part in the robbery of a Gulf gas station at Walnut and Washburn streets in Lockport Sept. 15.
Justice Richard C. Kloch Sr. said he will send McClendon, a repeat felon, to prison for 1½ to three years Jan. 25. In the meantime, Assistant District Attorney Peter M. Wydysh said McClendon is expected to tell Niagara Falls detectives about any other unsolved crimes in which he may have played a role, with the pledge that he won't be prosecuted for any of them.
Three Falls women still face charges in the Lockport gas station case: Chelsee Williams, 18; Ashley Bivins, 21; and Jessica A. Burgess, 28.
Nov. 29
Niagara Falls police reported three more car break-ins over the weekend, including one on Loretta Drive in which a $700 global positioning system was stolen.
That theft occurred sometime Thursday night or Friday morning, according to reports, and involved an unlocked car parked in a driveway. Also reporting a car break-in was a Niagara Falls Boulevard man, who said someone broke into his vehicle between 2 and 3 a.m. Saturday while it was parked in his apartment building lot.
A door seal was damaged and the car's glove box was broken so that the victim could not get inside to determine what, if anything, had been taken, police said. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $240.
A Caravelle Drive woman told police that someone broke into her car Friday morning while it was parked in her driveway, stealing a wallet with credit cards and a pair of concert tickets valued at $200.
• Jeremy Russell, 20, of Main Street, Lockport, pleaded guilty to reduced charges in connection with a Sept. 19 burglary at a South Street apartment in which a laptop computer was stolen.
Russell pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal trespass and petit larceny, and was released on his own recognizance to await sentencing Feb. 6 by Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas. His sentence will include $700 in restitution, which is half of the damage and loss, Assistant District Attorney Claudette S. Caldwell said.
Wednesday, co-defendant Joseph Nicholson, 19, of Prospect Street, asked to be screened for the judicial diversion program of court-supervised drug treatment. He is to return to court Dec. 12 and consider pleading guilty to third-degree burglary as his ticket into treatment.
Dec. 1
A man who stole electronics from a Centre Avenue home may have been involved in a purse snatching attempt a short time later, according to Niagara Falls police reports.
The man made off with a Playstation 2 video game system and a cellphone from a woman's Centre Avenue home about 9 p.m., police said, and was later said to be attempting to sell the stolen items in the Fourth Street area. Police believe the same man may have also been involved in an unsuccessful purse snatching attempt in the same area less than one hour later. The stolen electronics were valued at $400, according to reports.
• Two masked men carrying guns entered an unlocked home in the 1300 block of Elmwood Avenue and stole cash and a cellphone. The female victim said two men, one carrying a handgun and the other carrying a long gun, entered the house just after 2:30 a.m.
The woman said she was thrown to the floor, one man held a long gun to her head and the other threw her 12-year-old son to the floor and demanded to know where their money was hidden or they would kill the boy.
She said they searched the house and took $660 and a cellphone from a pocket of her coat.
The men were described as two black males, one 5 feet, 6 inches, 250 pounds, wearing a red bandana over his face, white jogging pants and a dark blue coat, while the other man was 150 pounds, 5 feet, 5 inches tall, wearing all dark clothing and a hood over his face.
Dec. 2
Niagara Falls police arrested a Lewiston woman after callers reported she was passed out behind the wheel of her car in a McDonald's drive-thru lane, with empty wine bottles on the floor of the vehicle.
Officers stopped Cherie A. Coty, 37, of Elliott Drive a short distance from the Pine Avenue McDonald's at 2:21 a.m. and confirmed an empty wine jug and another half-empty container inside her vehicle. They say she failed several field sobriety tests and was charged with driving while intoxicated, making an improper turn and driving on the shoulder of the road.
• Police interrupted a burglary-in-progress at the Poetic Justice Recording Studio. After receiving a call of two men trying to break into the Main Street building in Niagara Falls, officers headed there just after 4 a.m. and spotted one man standing outside, dressed in black clothing. He fled upon spotting patrol vehicles and was not apprehended. Police found a window that had been broken out on the side of the building, but there was no indication that anything had been removed from inside.
• A burglar pried open a shed door and stole over $1,600 worth of goods from a Beebe Road property in Wilson, Niagara County sheriff's deputies said. The theft is believed to have occurred some time between 5 p.m. Wednesday and 3 p.m. Friday, deputies said. Items stolen included a generator, a boat motor and a compound bow. Deputies said that no one lives at the site, which houses a shed and two trailers and is owned by a local woman.
• Two people were charged just before 1 a.m. in an armed assault on a 22-year-old Niagara Falls woman.
Aaron D. Jackson, 44, of Ontario Avenue, was charged with third-degree assault and accused of punching the woman in the face while she was in her wheelchair in the Colt Block apartment complex, in the 2100 block of Main Street.
Miriam R. Jackson, 47, of Main Street, was charged with second-degree assault with a weapon and second-degree menacing.
The victim said she was able to escape from Aaron Jackson and grabbed a knife to protect herself. She said Miriam Jackson then grabbed the knife and held it to her throat. The victim said when she tried to grab the knife her finger was deeply cut when Miriam Jackson pulled the knife away, according to a police report.
Dec. 3
A Ferry Avenue man said his white 2008 Mercedes C30 was damaged while parked in an alley behind his home.
He told Niagara Falls police that someone flattened all four tires, damaged all of the windows, broke a rear view mirror, damaged all the leather upholstery and spray-painted in red the words "cheater" and "liar" on the side of the car.
Damages are listed at several thousand dollars.
• A snowplow was stolen from the lot of Kipo Chevrolet on Youngstown-Lockport Road in Ransomville sometime between 3 p.m. Saturday and noon Monday.
An employee told Niagara County sheriff's deputies Tuesday that the 2009 Western Pro Plow, valued at $3,200, was a sale item that belonged to Kipo Motors.
• A Youngstown man faces an attempted burglary charge after a woman said she saw someone trying to get into her Ulrich Drive house in Porter through a kitchen window.
Steven C. Lewis, 24, of Third Street, was arrested when a Niagara County Sheriff's Deputy Thomas Huff saw him walking along Route 93 near the Robert Moses Parkway. Lewis was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief and second-degree attempted burglary.
Lewis, who faces a possible prison term of up to seven years on that felony burglary count, was arraigned in Porter Town Court and was ordered held pending further court proceedings.
Sheriff James R. Voutour said Lewis fled when the homeowner yelled at him. Sheriff's deputies, Lewiston police officers, state troopers and agents of the U.S. Border Patrol were all sent to the scene and set up a large perimeter around the intended burglary site.
Dec. 4
A Lincoln 200 portable gas welder, valued at $3,500, and welding leads valued at more than $2,000 were stolen from a garage in the 400 block of Lockport Street in Youngstown.
The 76-year-old owner contacted Niagara County sheriff's deputies on Tuesday and said the items were stolen from the garage sometime in the past five months, but he hadn't noticed the theft until he began cleaning and closing up his garage for the winter.
He was unsure of the date but told deputies that he discovered the locking mechanism had been removed from his garage door of his three car garage recently, but did not find anything missing. He said the welder had been stored behind a boat in the rear of his garage.
• Charles G. Hill, 63, of Ferry Avenue, Niagara Falls, was arraigned in Niagara County Court on a felony driving while intoxicated indictment.
Hill pleaded not guilty to the charges, which also included failure to yield at a stop sign. He was arrested Oct. 23 in Niagara Falls, where police measured his blood alcohol content at 0.10 percent.

Jefferson High School will forfeit the remainder of the 2013 football season, school officials announced this afternoon.
Administrators and coaching staff made the decision after a majority of the team did not attend Tuesday's practice. Officials agreed last week to forfeit last Friday's game after several players were consistently absent from team practices.
Jefferson Athletic Director Todd Zimmerman said: "The decision comes down to accountability and integrity. Being part of a successful athletic team means coming to every practice and giving it your all. The decision not to dress sophomore or freshmen players to field a team for the remaining two games of the season comes down to safety."

He's a more physical type and sure it's good to have him to confuse others, but it won't do as much damage as you hoped he would do, even WITH EV training, it'll be a hassle to do and it isn't worth doing anyway.
Morelm: Oh nothing, I just thought you haven't :] Mostly because people would step all over my Ampharous D:
quote The PandamicMy team is generally just for in-game, so not much gives me a challenge (I have not even started Kanto yet...)I used to have Ampharous part of my team but it's overall stats weren't good enough for online matches. Also, the moves he learns through TMs aren't good enough. I don't know that's just me. Also, I suggest teaching Muscle, Stone edge and any of the other moves you mentioned. Definitely Stone edge though. Does Noctowl learn Brave bird by Leveling up? If so, then go for that instead of Air slash.

Ducks Unlimited, Inc. (DU) has long recognized that maintaining North America's waterfowl populations requires conservation well beyond U.S. borders. Indeed, migratory birds present one of the greatest conservation challenges on Earth. Responsible stewardship of these species often requires conservation of habitats from the boreal forest of Canada to the tropical mangrove swamps of Venezuela and numerous points between and beyond.
DU secures and enhances waterfowl breeding habitats in Canada, through our sister organization, DU Canada. Much of this habitat serves as upland cover, essential for successful reproduction in prairie-nesting waterfowl.
Visit the DU Canada web site
Ducks Unlimited de México (DUMAC) has restored and enhanced more than 1.5 million acres throughout Mexico in areas that are important for wintering waterfowl and other wetland-dependent species.
More about DUMAC
In October 1991, inspired by the conservation efforts of Ducks Unlimited Canada and recognizing the need for wetlands conservation in Australia, a group of concerned citizens formed Ducks Unlimited Australia. The name was changed to Wetland Care Australia in 1996 but the mission remained the same: to restore, create, conserve and manage Australia's wetland habitats and dependent species.

When I posted my video response to the whole Motrin vs. Babywearers controversy the other morning, I was mainly excited to turn it into something positive regarding how to wear your baby properly.
I had no idea that the Today Show would be tuning in, as well as pretty much everyone else. The Chicago Tribune called me yesterday- you can see what we talked about in today's paper here.
NBC Chicago News aired a piece including a clip from my video here.
This is definitely a great example of how important a Mom's voice is. But with this great power comes great responsibility. I hope we continue to use it only for good!
Stay tuned- later today I'll reveal the winner of the Nest & Hatchling slings!

Beverly residents will have the opportunity to share in the work and bounty of two community gardens this season, thanks to funding provided by the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation and the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources.
The Beverly ON TRAC community garden has been established with assistance from a Healthy Community Grant made possible through the West Virginia Development Office and the Benedum Foundation.
The gardens will feature raised beds, built by the community garden group, which will be located behind the Collett House and Goff House in Beverly.

The Inter-Mountain photo by Beth Christian Broschart
Beverly resident Joan Hicks helps plan the Beverly ON TRAC community gardens at a recent informational meeting. Community members will work to build raised beds; plant and tend the gardens; and share the harvest.
"Interested parties gathered Thursday at the Beverly Heritage Center to make some initial plans for the gardens," said Beverly Heritage Center Executive Director Darryl DeGripp. "The group is working out the particulars regarding the planting and care of the garden and how crops will be divided."
The $3,000 grant will help with supplies to build the gardens, buy equipment and purchase plants. The total estimated cost for the entire project, including donated items and labor, is $8,000.
"The great thing about the garden is that it will be able to be self-sufficient," DeGripp said. "We can harvest seeds from this year to plant next year in the gardens."
The gardens will total 500 square feet, with raised beds built by the members. The idea is to keep the gardens in the style of the traditional 19th century and use heirloom and historic plants.
"During the process, we will also sponsor workshops on planting, caring for the garden and some cooking techniques," DeGripp said. "We also have Hannah Fincham from the West Virginia University Extension Service, who will be talking about safe food preservation."
DeGripp said he wrote the grant as a way to help neighbors become more involved.
"I thought it would be a great way to get the community together and working," DeGripp said. "Work scheduling will be on a monthly basis, and each member will be required to participate in the upkeep of the gardens. By working together, each member will reap the rewards of a successful harvest."
Additional information about the community garden is available by emailing email@example.com.

SEATTLE -- On a cold Saturday night at Safeco Field, Justin Masterson continued the resurgence of the Indians' starting rotation.
Masterson allowed one run and struck out nine in 6 1/3 innings, but it was the bullpen that turned his hard work into the Indians' sixth straight victory as Rafael Perez, Tony Sipp and Chris Perez worked the final 2 2/3 innings to beat Seattle, 2-1.
The 6-2 Indians have matched the start of the 2006 Indians.
"Justin Masterson was just filthy," said manager Manny Acta. "He pounded the strike zone all night and he had a very good slider."
In the first two games of the season, starters Fausto Carmona and Carlos Carrasco went 0-2 and allowed 17 earned runs in 9 2/3 innings. Over the last six games, the starters have gone 4-0 and allowed six earned runs in 37 2/3 innings for a 1.43 ERA.
In that stretch Masterson is 2-0 with a 1.35 ERA in two starts.
Masterson came out for the seventh, but he'd lost something. Justin Smoak greeted him with a leadoff double that center fielder Michael Brantley almost tracked down in left-center field.
He retired Miguel Olivo on a great stop and throw by shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera on a hard grounder. Acta then brought lefty Rafael Perez out of the bullpen. He walked Luis Rodriguez, but struck out Brendan Ryan. Lefty Michael Saunders blooped a single into center field as Smoak scored to cut the Tribe's lead to 2-1.
Brantley didn't field the ball cleanly as Rodriguez went to third on the error. Ichiro Suzuki, a .347 lifetime hitter against the Indians, did them a favor when he bunted a 3-1 pitch back to the mound for the third out.
"Raffie gave up a run, but he held them in check," said Acta. "He got Ichiro out and that was huge for us."
The tension did not end there.
Seattle's Chone Figgins started the eighth with a double past third off lefty Tony Sipp, who appears to have locked up the eighth inning setup job. Sipp rallied to retire Milton Bradley on a dangerous-looking fly ball to deep left with Figgins running on the pitch. Travis Buck made a nice catch in the corner for the out.
Bradley appeared to be playing with cotton in his ears. Earlier in the game he came in from left field and talked to third base umpire Sam Holbrook. Bradley may have been having trouble with some fans in the crowd.
Sipp recorded the second out of the eighth by striking out Jack Cust on a pretty 1-2 breaking ball. Cust has eight career homers and 27 RBI against the Indians.
He ended the inning by getting Smoak to ground out weakly to short.
"I like being in pressure situations whether it's the sixth, seventh or eighth inning," said Sipp. "The fact that they trust me so late in the game, I definitely bring that out with me to the mound."
Chris Perez retired the Mariners in order for his third save.
"I live for one-run games," said Perez. "That's the best I've felt all year."
Perez says the Indians are enjoying themselves.
"Coming over here at the end of 2009 and all last year, we didn't have many streaks like this," he said. "We're having well pitched games, making good plays on defense, our hitters our grinding out at bats when we need them.
"This is fun. Everyone is loose. Starting off like this, especially for a young team, just gives us confidence. That's a dangerous thing for a young team. We swept a good Red Sox squad and we traveled across country and didn't have any letdown."
Masterson was at his best in the sixth when he struck out Bradley and Cust with Figgins at third to protect a 2-0 lead. Figgins singled with one out and went all the way to third on a wild pitch that bounced toward the Seattle dugout.
"A situation like this is what I'm out there for," said Masterson. "That's the fun part. Sometimes it breaks you, sometimes you make it. Tonight I was able to get it done.
"As a competitor, when you see that guy at third base, your one thought is he's not scoring. Sometimes it bites you in the booty. But tonight it didn't."
As for the wild pitch, Masterson said, "I tried to throw it as hard as I could. He (catcher Carlos Santana) was set up outside, and it ended up hitting him on the inside part of the plate. It hit off his shin guard. I'm surprised he even touched it."
The Tribe took a 2-0 lead in the fourth. Orlando Cabrera, after Travis Hafner was intentionally walked with one out to load the bases, sent a sacrifice fly to left field to score Asdrubal Cabrera.
Shin-Soo Choo came around to score from second when Bradley's throw to third ended up in the Indians dugout. Doug Fister, Seattle's starting pitcher, was backing up the play. He tried to stop the ball from rolling into the dugout with a sliding stop, but knocked it in.
Asdrubal Cabrera and Choo opened the inning with singles. After Santana advanced the runners with a ground out to first, Fister fell behind Hafner, 2-0, before intentionally walking him.
Orlando Cabrera worked the count full. On the pitch before his sac fly, he lined a shot down the third baseline that hit Asdrubal Cabrera, who was coming home in foul territory. It was ruled a dead ball and Cabrera followed with his sac fly to left.
"When they walked Hafner, I was kind of excited," said Cabrera. "I think it was a good move. They wanted a right-hander on right-hander. They wanted to face somebody with bases loaded where you could get a double play.
"I missed a couple of good pitches, but I got a very good pitch to hit. I should have done a better job, but it was enough to drive in that run."
Said Acta, "Orlando, as usually, was in the middle of everything."
For the record, Seattle manager Eric Wedge said Bradley wasn't too blame for his errant throw. He said Ryan, Seattle's third baseman, should have been on the bag.

The Mahoning Valley isn't exactly Portland. Or Brooklyn. Or any other trendy big city.
We don't have bike lanes, artisan food trucks, organic soda fountains or brew cinemas. Who knows if we'll ever get a Whole Foods. You'll probably always have to go to American Apparel in Cleveland.
We're just getting the whole mustache-finger-tattoo trend here. Somewhere, there are Eskimos tweeting pictures of themselves in thick gloves with mustaches on the fingers.
What is a hipster? Well, it's hard to explain. It's someone who is cool and trendy and socially aware, but only to the point that they want everyone to know how cool and trendy and socially aware they are.
Or, conversely, it's someone who goes to great lengths to avoid seeming like they want anyone to know how cool and trendy and socially aware they are. They take something that starts out unique and interesting and turn it into a logo advertising, "Hey, I'm a unique snowflake. Not that I care."
The TV show "Portlandia" is sort of a "you might be a hipster if ..." sketch comedy. The characters portray over-the-top hipster cliches in a city widely associated with the bespectacled, the artisan, the bearded, the hyper-local. The whole city seems like it should be paved with authentic barnwood.
One of the popular jokes is "Put a bird on it!," which makes fun of how arbitrary hipsterdom is - putting a bird on a shirt or a hat or a logo instantly makes it cooler somehow.
Characters take their lifestyle as the gospel. The show isn't mean-spirited - it merely wants people not to take themselves so seriously. You aren't what grass-fed chicken eggs you eat.
Everyone has hipster moments. You realize, "Oh my gosh! That porkpie hat makes me look like I'm trying too hard!"
Even if you love your porkpie hat and it was your grandfather's and you weren't trying to look like you were trying to wear a porkpie hat, you can still have a laugh at someone looking at you and possibly thinking you were off to your banjo lesson.
I'm not sure where I lie in all this. I have been guilty of wearing faux-prescription glasses. I Facebook my food. I worked at a community garden. I watched a bearded guy play a saw.
I've been called the H-word. I was quick to point out that anyone who openly advertises they still like industrial music as I do can't possibly be a hipster. Besides, I'm way too oblivious to ever monitor my own behavior.
There's nothing wrong with enjoying cool things. Some bands are revered by the hipster crowd because they're genuinely good, not just because they give you cred.
Buying local makes sense for the local economy, and it feels good to help small businesses. Artisan bread is good, ditto organic juice or trail mix.
But there's a line between things that are cool, satisfying, healthy and creative, and just putting a bird on it. Or a mustache.
You shouldn't let any hipster-stigma prevent you from being yourself, from liking what you like. Life imitates art, art imitates life; don't get too caught up in it, and you'll be OK. You're cool because you are who you are, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
While we aren't quite on Portland level yet, our area does have some cool, trendy things to enjoy. We have a food truck from Cleveland that rolls through every now and then. There are community gardens, farmers markets, food co-ops, crop shares and urban farming. There's vintage shops, like Greyland in downtown Youngstown, to find your kitschy furniture.
You can get locally made soap, candles, artisan popcorn and other goods at Gardner's Green Thumb in downtown Warren - and it has the much-coveted barnwood floor. Local eateries push local produce.
Thumm's in Warren is a great local bike shop. Flaming Ice Cube has all of your vegan munchie needs. You can knit in organized knitting groups with locally spun yarn. There's plenty of cool bearded guys in bands.
So here's to being cool the way you are. No need to put the proverbial bird on it.
Is there a trend you think has been done to death? Share your hipster moments with me at email@example.com or comment on this story at www.tribtoday.com.

KPNX-TV (Channel 12)
When Tram Mai filled in for Kelly Ripa and sat next to Regis Philbin on his nationally syndicated morning chat fest last year, she showed the kind of infectious humor that Valley audiences became used to during her years of anchoring the a.m. show on KPNX (Channel 12).
These days, she gets to sleep in later, as she serves as host of "Valley Dish," a fun afternoon show on Channel 12 that is a perfect fit for her bubbly personality. Enjoy it now because we are predicting that she'll be a national figure within the next five years.

German Names: Part 1
German First Names (Vornamen) and Their Meanings

German names and tracing your Germanic roots
One of the most common inquiries I get concerns German names. And it's not surprising that most of these inquiries come from Americans. According to the 1990 US Census, German-Americans were the largest single ethnic group in the United States with 57,947,374 persons or 23.3 percent of the US population claiming some form of Germanic ancestryGerman, Austrian, or German Swiss.
Naming things (Namensgebung), as well as people, is a popular German pastime. While the rest of the world may name hurricanes or typhoons, the German Weather Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst) goes so far as to name ordinary high (hoch) and low (tief) pressure zones!* (Which prompted a recent debate about whether masculine or feminine names should be applied to a high or a low. Since 2000 they have alternated in even and odd years.) I suspect this naming custom originally got started because highs are so rare in Europe, but that's another story.
In this first part of our three-part name feature we look at German first names (Vornamen), their meanings, and their origins. And we shall discover that many "German" first names are not really German at all. (If you are a genealogical beginner interested in tracing your German roots, see the article: German and Genealogy.)
The popularity of German given names, just like names anywhere, varies over the years depending on fashion. What parents choose to name their child has always been subject to tradition, name popularity, sports figure and movie star names, and official approval by the local office of vital statistics (Standesamt). Boys and girls in the German-speaking world born at the end of the 1990s bear first names that are very different from earlier generations or children born even a decade earlier. Popular German names of yore (Hans, Jürgen, Edeltraut, Ursula) have given way to more "international" names today (Tim, Lukas, Sara, Emily). Below is a list of the top ten names for boys and girls in Germany in 2005. (For 2004 and previous years, see our Top 10 German Names page.)
*A reader informs me that the actual naming of pressure zones is done by das Institut für Meteorlogie at Berlin's Freie Universität.

First Names Glossary with origins
Most of the name queries I receive are about the meaning (Bedeutung) and/or derivation (Ursprung) of a particular appellation (name). There are many books on this subjectmost of them with titles like Lexikon der Vornamen or Das große Buch der Vornamen. The Web also offers many sources for discovering the meaning or origin of German first names. You'll find name meanings in our own German name guide and additional resources in our collection of related links and books on our Name Links page.
Most of these books or Web pages will tell you the source (Latin, Old High German, Hebrew, Celtic, etc.) and the supposed meaning of a name: Arnold (deutsch) = kühner Herrscher ("bold leader"). Some sources will provide even more detail. "Arnold," for instance, is made up of the Old High German words arn ("eagle") and walt(an) ("to rule"), which combine to produce something like "he who rules like an eagle."
Some sources also list famous people who once bore the name or who still do. The name Arnold was spread in the Middle Ages by the blessed Arnold, a lute player in the court of Charlemagne (Karl der Große). Two Austrians are among the most famous Arnolds: composer Arnold Schönberg and actor/producer/governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. We provide similar information for the name Ludwig in the first part of our What's in a Name series.
One last thing. When a German-speaker inquires about your Name (NAH-muh), he or she is asking about your LAST name, not your first. It takes time to get on a first name (per du) basis. We discuss that in this article: Sie und du.

Varsity Male Athlete of the Week: Robert Sikatzki, Fairview swimming
Robert Sikatzki, Fairview
Whatever culture shock Robert Sikatzki is experiencing as a Fairview High School exchange student, it hasn't affected him as a varsity swimmer.
It's actually been the other way around for the Leipzig, Germany, native, who's made himself feel at home with the PIAA's defending Class AA team champions.
"It's an amazing feeling to come to America and swim," Sikatzki said during Saturday's 30th annual Iroquois Coaches Swimming Invitational. "It's just what I love."
Sikatzki's results from that meet proved as much. The junior was voted its outstanding swimmer and led the Tigers to their fifth consecutive title.
The highlight of Sikatzki's four wins that day was the final of the 100-yard backstroke. His low time of 52.28 seconds was good for meet and pool records.
Sikatzki also won the meet's 200 freestyle final (1:46.49) and comprised legs of Fairview's victorious 200 medley (1:40.81) and 400 free (3:22.31) relays.
Iroquois' invitational capped a week that saw Sikatzki set two other pool records.
He was timed at 4:50.56 in the 500 free when the Tigers visited the Braves for a Region 2 meet Jan. 14. Three days later against the visiting Girard YellowJackets, he lowered Fairview's boys standard to 21.74 in the 50 free.
"He's one of those guys that when the lights come on, he's ready to go," Tigers coach J.R. Jensen said of Sikatzki.

Bill O'Brien the football coach is easy to imagine. But how about Bill O'Brien the stand-up comedian?
Penn State receivers coach Stan Hixon said his boss would be terrific at it.
"He's the only guy I know as a coach who could probably make money as a comedian," Hixon said, "because he has a funny bone in him, and he loves to have fun."
Hixon first encountered O'Brien when they worked together at Georgia Tech in the 1990s. Not only, Hixon said, was O'Brien good with offense and the computer back then, he also was the comic relief.
"He could mimic any coach on the staff," Hixon said on a teleconference Thursday. "I think at the time it could have been George O'Leary, myself, Ralph Friedgen, Doug Marrone. ... He could mimic a guy to the T, and the staff would just bust out laughing."
It's all clean jokes, nothing dirty, Hixon said, and always football related.
Hixon went on to coach with LSU, the Redskins and the Bills, and he always told his colleagues, "There's one guy I know that could make money being a comedian, and that was Bill O'Brien."
Joking aside, Hixon always knew back then that O'Brien had what it took to succeed in the coaching profession.
"When it's time to work it's time to work, and he's one of the hardest workers I've ever been around," he said.
Praise for A-Rob
Hixon has coached NFL receivers and college standouts, which makes what he said Thursday about PSU's Allen Robinson carry a lot of weight.
"In my years of coaching wide receivers, he's one of the best, if not the best, receiver I've had," Hixon said. "And I've had some first-rounders, some second-rounders."
There's no doubt, he added, about Robinson's future as an NFL receiver.
"He's definitely going to play," Hixon said.
The only question is when.
Robinson, who had 77 receptions last year and already has 14 in two games this season, is a junior and could decide to turn pro after this year.
"When the time comes, he's going to be ready," Hixon said. "He has the work ethic, has the ability, has the ball skills and has the physical toughness. He's going to be a pro player. When he and his family make that decision is up to them."
He then added what all Penn State fans have to be thinking.
"I'd like to keep him as long as I can," Hixon said.

A Depew man died in a trailer home fire late Friday night, police reported.
Brian Swiniarski was found dead inside the trailer home at 20 Cayuga Blvd. after volunteer firefighters extinguished the blaze, which was reported about 9 p.m. Friday.
Police and the first firefighters on the scene were told that Swiniarski might still be inside. Firefighters were hampered in their rescue operations because of an extreme amount of debris inside the trailer home, Depew police said.
Medical examiners responded and will perform an autopsy. No foul play is expected.
The cause of the fire is undetermined and an investigation will continue.

The Goonies sequel is finally happening!
The 1985 cult classic is being revived by the film's director, Richard Donner, who tells TMZ, "We're doing a sequel."
The kids' adventure film, which was scripted by Chris Columbus (prior to his successes with Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and The Help, among others), featured Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, Jeff Cohen and Martha Plimpton on a quest to find a pirate treasure.
When asked which original cast members would be coming back for Goonies 2, Donner replied, "Hopefully all of them."
While Donner previously said that he didn't think there was going to be a sequel, Astin never gave up hope, telling IGN in 2012, that the cast were still good friends.
"I'm 1,000 percent certain there will be a sequel," he said in true "Goonies never say die" spirit. "I will bet my children on it."
Goonies Sequel Is in the Works, Says Director

Leave the Gum, Take the Canela
Danny Canela reached base five times on a two-run home run, a two run double, a single, and two walks, Pin-Chieh Chen blasted a three-run home run and walked, Cael Brockmeyer reached base four times on two singles and two walks, stole two bases, and scored a run, Jeimer Candelario singled, walked twice, scored two runs, and drove-in another, and Starlin Castro belted a triple and an RBI double and scored a run, as the Daytona Cubs rallied to tie the Visalia Rawhide (Diamondbacks Hi-A affiliate) 9-9 on Field #6, and Jamie Westbrook hammered a three-run HR and Daniel Palka drilled a two-run HR, leading the South Bend Silver Hawks (AZ Lo-A affiliate) to a 12-3 drubbing of the Kane County Cougars (Cubs Lo-A affilate) on Field #3, in Cactus League Minor League doubleheader action this afternoon at the Under Armour Performance Center at Riverview Park in Mesa, AZ.
Bijan Rademacher reached base four times on a triple, two singles, and walk for KC in a losing cause.
The 23-year old left-handed hitting Canela is presently assigned to the Kane County squad, but (probably because of his age and D-1 college experience) he began Minor League Camp as a catcher with the AA Tennessee squad. He was moved from catcher to 1st base during the course of Spring Training (he is a very rotund 5'10, perhaps weighing as much as 260 pounds), but the slugger was temporarily moved-up to the Daytona squad today because both Dan Vogelbach and Rock Shoulders (the D-Cubs two first-basemen) were absent.
Canela was Carlos Rodon's catcher at NC State in 2012, but then he had some undisclosed personal issues that resulted in his transferring to Lee University (an NAIA school in Tennessee) for his senior year. After he wasn't selected in the 2013 draft (and I have to ask why, because this dude has some serious HR power), he signed with the River City Rascals of the independent Frontier League where he hit a cool 360/455/582 with 12 HR and 14 doubles in 67 games. He led the league in hitting and was named the Frontier League's Rookie of the Year, before signing with the Cubs as a non-drafted free-agent (NDFA) last October. If he does indeed end up playing 1st base (and DH) at Kane County in 2014 (he is blocked by both Vogelbach and Shoulders at Daytona), Cougar fans (and Chicago Cub fans who go to Cougar games) are going to have loads of fun with this guy.
For us old-timers who remember Riverview Park in Chicago, Danny Canela playing baseball at Riverview Park in Mesa can't help but bring back memories of Dick "Two Ton" Baker and his "Laugh Your Troubles Away" Riverview Park TV commercials in the 1960's... so now it's Danny "Two-Ton" Canela?
Starlin Castro (hamstring injury rehab) played shortstop for seven innings and batted six times in the Daytona game. He flied out his first three times up, then after striking out swinging in his 4th PA in the 6th, he laced an RBI double off the right-centerfield fence in the 7th, and a one-out triple into the RF corner in the 8th. He appeared to be running the bases at full speed, showing no ill-effects from his hamstring injury. He also was solid in the field, making several fine defensive plays, including a heads-up 6-5 FC that caught a D'backs baserunner trying to take 3rd on a grounder to Castro's left.
Since he will be a AA rotation starter, C. J. Edwards (who got the start for the Cubs in the MLB Cactus League game versus the San Diego Padres at Peoria last night) was inserted into the D-Cubs lineup to practice his bunting skills when such situations presented themselves. Edwards laid down three picture-perfect sac bunts in the bottom of the 1st, 5th, and 6th innings, but but then he struck out (bunted foul for strike three) his fourth time up in the 7th. So he was 75% successful.
Starting for KC (although he is assigned to the Daytona squad), 21-year old South African RHP Tayler Scott (Cubs 2011 5th round pick out of Notre Dame HS in Scottsdale, AZ) had a very poor outing, allowing seven runs (all earned) on five hits (including two triples and a HR) and five walks in just three innings of work (81 pitches - only 40 strikes). RHP Scott Frazier (Cubs 2013 6th round pick out of Pepperdine University) worked the 8th inning for the Cougars and could not find the strike zone, allowing two runs on three walks and an HBP in just 2/3 of inning (26 pitches - only nine strikes). There are those in the Cubs organization who believe the 6'5 235 Frazier (known by some as as "Sasquatch") has the best pure stuff in the system, but he just could not find home plate today.
24-year old Dominican RHP Felix Pena got the start for Daytona, working 4.2 IP and allowing two runs (earned) on three hits and a walk. He also struck out seven and got a ton of ground balls (6/1 GO/FO), at one point retiring 12 South Bend hitters in a row before tiring in the 5th. Signed by the Cubs five years ago, it's taken Pena a while to put things together, but he has been one of the surprises of 2014 Minor League Camp (so far). On the other side of the coin was 24-year old RHP Zack Godley (Cubs 2013 10th round pick out of the U. of Tennessee), who followed Pena to the hill and was absolutely crushed, allowing seven runs on eight hits (including three triples and two doubles) in 1.1 IP.

d.canela's issues at NCSU
d.canela's issues at NCSU weren't drug/alcohol or attitude related, fwiw.
he was running into a bit of a roadblock in his career going into 2013 with brett austin slated to take a majority of the C duties and canela seeing more time as a bat-only DH/backup catcher player. he also had conditioning issues with his weight, though it's obvious he didn't miss much upper body gym time.
unfortunately, he switched schools rather late in a baseball sense (which most likely limited his choices of transfer schools) and going to Lee University (out of NCAA Division 1 competition) didn't exactly help his draft stock. he went to indie ball and the cubs snagged him.
power and a good eye...never was much of a defensive C, though he's got experience and a decent arm (unfortunately his bulk didn't translate well into getting good throws with the arm coming out of the crouch)...1st/DH type most likely going forward...loves the game...not lazy even with conditioning/weight issues plaguing him for quite a while.

This whole thing is reminding me a bit of the Blackhawks when the younger Wirtz started fixing the badness that was old man Wirtz. They built a good core of young players. I hope that happens here. It's looking good so far. I'm actually interested in this team. I can root for these guys cuz they're coming up through the system, or they are young enough that if they're good they should be around awhile (Olt, Rizzo). Winning a division through free agency is dead, if it ever was really alive. All the good young players are getting extended, and Miguel Cabrera just got sewn up for two more years.

BP mention on a bunch of relievers, last on the commentary was Jose Veras...
Jose Veras, Cubs
Second verse same as the first, with a slight alteration. Relievers are the ultimate wild card. The stop being effective or get hurt for odd reasons. Billy Koch thought that he had tendrils growing out of his fingertips once and well, that was that for his baseball career. Let's take intellectual leaps and say Kimbrel isn't saving as many games for whatever reason as he had in the past. That opens the door up quite a bit for the field and while Veras does play for a rebuilding squad I think it will also be a squad that will look to shop him heavily at the trade deadline. Once again, I believe in Veras' ability, and I think he would look quite nice in high leverage situations for some team that's suddenly found itself in a playoff chase sans a capital C closer. Enter Veras and his healthy strikeout rate and improving command. I think he'll do quite well as The Guy, wherever he is needed. —Mauricio Rubio

If you can cash in on a big contract, then I think it would probably be worth getting caught once.

This hurts teams much more (which I'm personally in favor of).
Does anyone know if teams can legally institute their own in-house drug testing?

first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
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.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er
zobrist with 2HR and a double through 8
heyward 0-4 :(

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.
