So you have completed your medical coding training online or at a school. You have big plans to make a career in the medical coding field. Smart move! Your next step is to take either the Certified Professional Coder (CPC®) exam or the Certified Coding Specialist-Physician Based (CCS-P) exam.
You were pretty enthusiastic when you first started studying but as the CPC® exam draws nearer you are starting to feel "a sense of dread." Maybe even overwhelm?
… you are basically freaking out with the thought of failing your next attempt at your CPC® exam!
Guess what… I was there once before just like you. I remember a time when I was in overwhelm in a hotel room with the test looming just days in the future. I had to pass the CPC® exam because my job and future depended on it. Believe me, I feel your pain!
Maybe this is your first time taking the CPC® exam. Maybe you have failed before and this is your second or third time trying to get certified. Either way, you are desperate for any method that you could use to improve your chances of passing the medical coding exam. Well, I have good news…
My name is Laureen Jandroep (CPC, CPC-I, CMSCS, CHCI, Senior Instructor) and I've been teaching and coaching medical coders to prepare to be certified coders for the AAPC (American Society of Professional Coders) or American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) physician based board exams since 1999. I have taken and passed many of the board exams including: CPC®, CPC®-I, CPC®-H, CCS-P, CCS, RCC and OTR.
I started my career in medical coding when I ran my own successful rehab practice in New Jersey that at it's zenith served over 17 long term care facilities with 26 therapists, aides and support staff. My company was approved by Medicare and billed over $1.6 Million annually with less than a .06% rejection rate — unheard of in the rehab industry. The reason for this success was making sure my company billed based on source documentation and provided ongoing training to my therapists regarding proper coding. So believe me- I know about coding!
I have a unique way of teaching myself new concepts and I share that with my students so they can "get it" as fast as possible. Because medical coding demands that we stay current on changes in medical coding billing. So let me tell you…
You see, it doesn't have to be that hard. You don't need to stress. After all, the exam is open book right? You just need to get organized, focus on whats important to pass the test… and don't sweat the small stuff!
There is an easier way! Let me explain…
This is both a review of the subject matter and a guide to doing well on the exam. You will not only have an exhaustive review of all the various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures covered on the exam, the program will also demonstrate ways to go through the process of taking the exam in the most efficient manner, making best use of the time allowed. Since this is an open-book exam, the program teaches you my proprietary "Bubbling and Highlighting™ Technique". This technique demonstrates how to mark and highlight your coding manual to make it easier to choose the correct answer of the choices given for any question on the exam. You'll see how to best manage some questions you might find more difficult than others.
I have been teaching medical coding in a full time or part time capacity since 1999. Back in the day I took all the certification exams so that my students could see that I felt their pain and knew what they were going to be going through. This helped me to understand the format of the exams and prepare my students for what was going to be covered in the exam.
But my students wanted more. A few years ago while I was teaching a longer CPC® training class, my students pleaded "Help us get ready for next week's exam!" So we reviewed the whole CPC® training program in two days. And that's how the Blitz Videos were born.
For over 11 years now, I have been teaching this review program - with many students successfully passing their CPC® exam after viewing my videos.
This program works. It's worked for hundreds of people. But don't take my word for it. Here's just some of the testimonials I have received from some of the happy students who have purchased my CPC® Exam preparation Videos over the last few years:
At age 49, I started to go back to school in a MBC program, Graduated at age 50 with high honors, and valedictorian…. I attended an alumni meeting a year later, and the MBC Program Director hired me to teach the MBC Externship Program.... I had to become CPC® certified within months to keep employment there. I failed the first time, couldn't finish in the 5-1/2 hours allotted then.
Failed the second time by the skin of my teeth- 69. And then restudied, restudied and bought your Videos, which I viewed a few times.
Going through the CPT book and highlighting guidelines and all those tips made the exam go smoother. I took the exam, passed and incredibly finished in 4-1/2 hours. That's a record for me. Yes, it cost me again to pay for the exam but I have no regrets whatsoever. Your videos helped me tremendously the 3rd time around and I just wanted to say thanks to you. 3 Times was a charm for me. :) NEVER GIVE UP. Keep up the great work. You are awesome, you teach from your heart and your tips are EXCELLENT.
and another…
Dear Laureen, I found out today that I passed the CPC® exam with 87%. Your blitz videos were extremely helpful. I learned so much more from these videos than I ever did in school. Every chapter was well structured and easy to follow. It boosted my confidence and kept me motivated all along. I can't thank you enough...
Here is a personal message from Laureen about how she can help YOU…
Here's what's great about these videos:
Here is what other people who passed their exam on the first try have said about my Coding Certification Blitz Videos:
I'm one of the ones that passed the certification exam because of your Blitz videos...I'm back in class taking refresher coding Review Blitzes to keep my self abreast of the updates. I'm in 2 classes with about 20 students in each class, all trying to get certified. As your Blitz was such a blessing to me, I printed from the internet your advertisement page for your Blit Videos. I'm going to give each of my classmates a copy and let them know that I had tried passing the certification exam several times and didn't pass until I viewed your Review Blitz. I hope some, if not all, will take an interest and will order your Review Blitz. Thanks again for the help you have been to me.
Dear Laureen: I've just received notification that I've passed my CPC® exam- on the first try!!! There is no way I would have passed the exam without your Review Blitz. The advice and tips you gave are invaluable. Money well spent. I hope to use this certification and my past experience to become an instructor in medical coding and billing. Thank you so much for this step up to my future career!!

Eyeball manure for a quick read on feed utilization
Eyeball manure for a quick read on feed utilization
Many tools exist to evaluate the effectiveness of a dairy cow's diet. But the final judge of how well a ration performs is the cow herself. Dr. Stuart Rymph advises, "We shouldn't overlook the vast amount of information you can garner just by doing a simple evaluation of the manure." Rymph is a dairy nutrition and technical services specialist with Purina Animal Nutrition based in Wisconsin.
The manure evaluation doesn't have to be fancy or elaborate, just look at the manure, pick through it and maybe wash it through a wire mesh screen. "What you see and how often you check is more important than the process you use," says Rymph, noting that sometimes just kicking the manure around will uncover startling information.
Things to look for that might indicate trouble include:
• Is the manure generally loose?
• Are there bits of corn kernels or whole kernels?
• Do you see more than an occasional whole cottonseed?
• Are pieces of corn stalks or cobs in the manure?
• Are pieces of hay or haylage present?
• Is the manure bubbly?
• Are there mucin casts?
"Squeeze the manure out or wash it through a sieve or a mesh strainer," says Rymph. "But if you use the spaghetti strainer, please don't put it back in the kitchen when you are done."
Ideally, rinsed manure should look "fuzzy" with fine particles and maybe an occasional bit of corn kernel or forage. Generally, if the particles are big enough that you can identify which ingredient they came from there is an opportunity to improve feed efficiency, milk production or components. Inevitably, some pieces of corn and even the odd piece of alfalfa stem, grass leaf or bit of corn stalk gets through the system intact, "so don't over-react," says Rymph. Where you draw the line and say 'Whoa! Something is wrong,' depends on how everything else is going. Rymph says that if milk production is good and feed efficiency is okay, he'll take note of what he sees but he'll be looking for any changes since the last time he walked the pens.
"Manure evaluation should prompt questions and point you in the right general direction," he says, explaining that loose manure does not cause low milk production or low butterfat – whatever is causing the loose manure may be causing the lower performance, the loose manure is just another symptom.
Look at the findings in light of everything else the cow and the feed lab are saying as there can be many possible causes for one symptom. If you are seeing bits of corn, is that because the grind-size or kernel processing is too coarse, the kernel too hard/vitreous or is it passing through the rumen too fast? Likewise, if there are recognizable pieces of hay or haylage or corn stalks; is the neutral detergent fiber (NDF) digestibility low, are intakes/passage too high, too small particle size or are the cows sorting the ration?
Sorting through the various possibilities to arrive at the appropriate conclusion and course of action is part art and part science. A Purina Animal Nutrition consultant has the experience and expertise to do the screening, interpret the results and recommend a solution.
"Pay attention to what your cows are telling you, paw through some cow pies on your own, figure out what is normal for your herd and watch for changes," notes Rymph.

TREES Program: How We Work
The goal of the Rainforest Alliance's Training, Extension, Enterprises and Sourcing (TREES) Program is to link biodiversity conservation with sustainable forestry practices by enhancing the economic competitiveness of community-based small and medium forestry enterprises (SMEs). In particular, we:
- Train communities and forest managers in sustainable forestry practices, including sustainable harvesting, erosion control and conservation of endangered species and ecosystems;
Assist communities to create and maintain viable forest-based enterprises, specifically by:
- Helping increase the sales volume and revenue of Forest Stewardship Council-certified timber through moving companies and forest management operations toward forestry certification;
- Improving business and financial management skills to build enterprise capacity, and increase access to financial services;
- increasing production efficiencies by reducing waste from raw material, and optimizing human resources;
- Exploring new product development, particularly using lesser known species (LKS) and non-timber forest products (NTFPs);
- Incorporating quality control;
- Fostering market linkages and new business opportunities;
- Improving yield and wood utilization;
Creating new sources of employment and income in rural areas by:
- Fostering SME development in forest-dependent communities;
- Linking communities with payment for ecosystem services opportunities, such as carbon sequestration projects;
- Work with local and national governance to create favorable policies for sustainable forest management;
- Link SMEs with potential buyers of their products, leveraging our long-term relationships with companies such as IKEA, DLH, Staples, Gibson, Century Furniture, LL Bean, Marks and Spencer and ABC Home and Furniture; and
- Build consumer awareness by educating shoppers, printers, builders, designers, architects and others about the conservation and economic benefits of responsibly-sourced wood.
TREES develops projects through a combination of multilateral or bilateral government funds, private investment and foundation grants at national and regional levels. To see an example of TREES work, check out our regional MIF/IDB funded project that spans Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru. Our projects are implemented in the field by teams of experts in disciplines ranging from forest management, forest product development and marketing, to business planning and economics and community participation. Our work creates new jobs and increases the economic well-being of families, using sustainable forest management as a tool in global poverty reduction.

There must be something in the water that makes some Texans so strange.
Consider THIS:
It's been nearly a month since a fertilizer plant in West, Texas, exploded [above], killing at least 14 people, and injuring more than 200 others, while leveling a significant part of the small town. It's tempting to think, after a disaster of this magnitude, that the community and their officials would start asking some important questions about prevention and public safety.
And it'd be quite a list. There could, for example, be a conversation about the fact that the plant had no alarms, automatic ...

I have purchased products from Levenger for the past several years and the products only seem to get better. I purchased two of these "old fashioned" book weights after sitting on the fence for nearly a year as to whether or not I truly needed them. However, I wish I would not have waited so long. I currently have a job where I spend countless hours editing legal/scholarly articles and was constantly in need of a way to hold down reference books and other materials. After using the book weights for a few months I can say that they are made of durable leather, have stitching that makes them seem very elegant, and offer just the right amount of flexibility and weight distribution to hold down the pages of even the most stubborn of books.

Recommended with reservations.I was one of many who pleaded with Levenger to bring back the original, flexible leather bookweight, and immediately purchased one when these new ones became available. I was disappointed, however, that the updated version is not the same as the original. It is shorter, a bit wider, and most importantly MUCH less flexible. Admittedly better for travel than the unwieldy bookstop, but lametably still an imposter. Thanks for trying, Levenger.

great product
By cwbks
from Happy Valley, OR
As far as I know, this is the only product out there like this book holder. I use it constantly, and it looks great too. When I lost my previous one, I had to order another one right away!
By eagerreader
from Anchorage, Alaska
Everyone in our household has these. They do exactly what they're supposed to. Much better than a stapler!We just gave two monogrammed book weights to our daughter, who is a literature major. She will be using them constantly.

Smart and Functional
By strangel00p
from Seattle, WA
This real leather book weight is great. It's heavy enough to hold open my textbooks as I'm creating class notes (I'm the prof). When I was a librarian I coveted these. I only wish the Levenger quality came in saddle-leather brown.
Well pleased...
By teenitini
from Arlington, TX
High quality, heavy/sturdy, beautiful presentation, smells amazing (real leather). Not at all bad for something 'made in China'. I've always loved Levenger; they never disappoint.
By embeck7
from La Quinta, CA
I've been considering this item for awhile, as I am a lifelong learner, always reading a large text of some kind. This fills the bill beautifully for keeping the place, in an elegant manner. I actually ordered two, so I would have one for use with a large photo project I'm working on. The quality is what you would expect from Levenger, and will be durable and in use for many years to come.
This was a fabulous investment!
By EB1984
from Undisclosed
I loved this bookweight so much I bought two more of them right away. I am a graduate student in Classics, and I recommend this for anyone who needs to work with a number of books open at once. It works on every book I've tried so far, from heavy reference books to small paperbacks. It's heavy and long enough to hold a book open, but not so large that you can't use the book while it's there. I second the comments about other color options; it would be great to see the bookweight in brown leather or another color.
Wedding Officiant Gift

I bought this as a gift for the minister that officiated part of my wedding ceremony. She is an avid reader of large biblical commentaries that do not like to stay open. She loved this gift and that it was personalized for her!

I love my bookweight so much I just had to give one to my grand-daughter to pass on a good tradition. These are a must have item for me. Quality!!
Very useful!...
By FredStluka2
from Malvern, PA
The book weight in an excellent device. Very useful! Without it, I'm always perching something on a book to hold it open, but other things are too big, not heavy enough, or slide off too easily. The book weight is elegant and functional. Just enough friction from the suede to stay in place. My wife and I recently decided that our 2 were not enough, so we bought 5 more, just to have them around.--Fred

In Their Own Words: GW Rowers on the Head of the Charles
GW Men's and Women's Rowing to Compete on Historic Charles River
Oct. 14, 2013
WASHINGTON - The George Washington men's and women's rowing teams return to the legendary Head of the Charles Regatta this weekend on the Charles River in Boston, Mass.
Founded in 1965, the Head of the Charles Regatta has evolved into the largest two-day rowing event in the world. This year's event features more than 9,500 athletes from 23 countries and over 2,000 crews, all in front of a crowd that is expected to approach 300,000.
In their own words, members of the men's and women's rowing team explain the significance of competing at the world renowned event.
Megan Culberson - Senior
Trofym Anderson - Senior
Sarah Pickus - Senior
"Head of the Charles is one of the largest and most recognized head races in the world. Being able to represent GW as a student-athlete at an event like this is an absolute honor and privilege. Although I'm excited to see how our program ranks up against some of the best collegiate and international crews in the world, I'm even more excited to see how our rowing program has progressed since the last time we raced at the event in 2010."

Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
Logan Watkins had three hits and scored twice, leading the EXST Cubs to an 8-3 victory over the EXST Angels in a pre-planned ten-inning Extended Spring Training game at Fitch Park Field #3 this morning in hot & sunny Mesa, AZ.
Now 19, Watkins was the Cubs 21st round pick in the 2008 draft out of Goddard HS (Goddard, KS), where he starred on both the football team (played QB) and baseball team (played SS), and the Cubs were able to convince him to give up his baseball scholarship to Wichita State only because they offered him "3rd round money" to turn pro.
While the left-handed hitting and right-handed throwing Watkins has played SS, 2B, LF, and CF since signing with the Cubs, he appears to be the protypical second-baseman, with a strong and accurate arm, but with an almost sidearm arm slot, perfect for slinging the ball to 1st base while straddling 2nd base as the middle-man in a DP.
The extra inning was added to the game to allow Cubs and Angels pitchers to get extra work, since weekly EXST "Camp Day" intrasquad games are no longer being scheduled.
Also, it turns out Iowa Cubs RHP Justin Berg (on the DL with a right shoulder strain since mid-April) did not leave town yesterday. He is still at EXST, rehabbing his shoulder, and in fact he pitched another inning today (24 pitches), as a follow-up to his one-inning (16 pitches) of work at Papago Park in Phoenix on Thursday. Berg got ground balls with his hard-sinker again today (per usual), but his command was off, resulting in him allowing two runs on two hits and a walk in 2/3 of an inning (and the inning was terminated with only two outs when Berg reached his proscribed pitch count).
While the Cubs were battling the Angels on Field #3, RHPs Carlos Rojas and Julio Castillo faced-off in a two-inning simulated game on Field #2, facing Jose Valdez, Sean Williams, Jesus Morelli, and Jericho Jones,
Castillo (AKA "Animal") is from the back jungles of the Dominican Republic (near the border with Haiti), and he is a legend among Cubs minor leaguers as the guy who captured a wild desert rat at the Padres minor league facility in Peoria, Arizona, a couple of years ago, and then kept the rodent as a pet for the summer while he pitched for the AZL Cubs.
Presently on the Restricted List while awaiting final disposition of criminal charges filed against him in Ohio as the result of throwing a baseball at a fan during a brawl in Dayton last August while a member of the Peoria Chiefs. Castillo is one of the hardest throwers in the Cubs system (with a fastball that routinely clocks at 95+), so the Cubs are not necessarily in a hurry to discharge Animal from the organization. He has the type of power stuff (fastball & slider) that could make him a potential big-time set-up man or closer someday (that is, as long as he isn't otherwise occupied serving a lengthy term--and throwing the 9th inning--at the Ohio State Penitentiary).
The only other item of note is that C-3B-1B-DH John Contreras is missing from camp, perhaps because he has moved up to Peoria, which has only one healthy catcher available on its roster (that one being Michael Brenly). Contreras is already 23, and he was converted to catcher this season (he still plays 3B and 1B, too, however) after leading the AZL in home runs in 2008. So he would seem to be the type of player (probably too old for Boise, but needs an opportunity to play at a higher level) who would get the call as a mid-season injury replacement in Peoria or Daytona. (Daytona catcher Robinson Chirinos has a broken hand, and so Luis Flores has been moved up from Peoria to Daytona).
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only)...
1. Hak-Ju Lee, DH #1: 1-5 (1B, L-4, 4-3, F-7 DP, K - 1 R, 1 SB)
2. Matt Cerda, C-DH: 2-4 (1B, 4-3, 2B, E-3 - 1 R)
3. Jae-Hoon Ha, CF: 0-4 (6-3, E-6, 6-3, K)
4. Chris Weimer, 1B: 0-4 (L-8, P-1, L-6, K)
5. Sean Hoorelbeke, LF: 2-3 (6-3, HBP, 1B, 1B - 2 R)
6. Jose Guevara, DH-C: 0-2 (5-3, K, BB, BB - 1 R)
7. Logan Watkins, SS: 3-4 (2B, 1B, 1B, 4-3 - 2 R)
8. Kevin Soto, RF: 2-3 (6-3, 1B, HBP, 1B - 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 SB)
9. Robert Bautista, 3B: 0-4 (1-3, K, 4-3, K - 1 RBI)
10. Jose Made, 2B: 0-3 (1-3, E-4, BB, 1-3)
1. Justin Berg - 0.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R (2 ER), 1 BB, 0 K, 1 WP, 2/0 GO/FO, 24 pitches (16 strikes)
2. Miguel Sierra - 3.0 IP, 4 H,1 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 2 WP, 5/3 GO/FO
3. Toby Matchulat - 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K, 1/2 GO/FO
4. Su-Min Jung - 3.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 3/3 GO/FO
5. Manolin DeLeon - 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 2/0 GO/FO
1. Matt Cerda - 0-2 CS, 1 PB
2. Jose Guevara - 1-2 CS
Re: Cubs Drop Giants at Fitch Park
The Orioles' are playing a ridiculous amount of ex-Cubs tonight. Look at the lineup: Rich Hill pitching, Felix Pie in center, Cesar Izturis at short, and, of course, Brian Roberts at second.
Re: Cubs Drop Giants at Fitch Park
Pie is on his last legs. He'll probably get released, the Cubs can pick him up again, and he can become the Carlos Beltran we all knew he could be.
Re: Cubs Drop Giants at Fitch Park
Rich Hill update:
Single to Choo, Bloomquist 463 DP, Butler K (17 pitches). Wicked curve for the K. Looked like the good Rich Hill again.
Re: Cubs Drop Giants at Fitch Park
Rich Hill's night is over, leaving the game with a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the 6th. Runners on 1st and 2nd.
line: 5.2 IP, 7H, 2R/ER, 2BB, 6K. No sign of the yips. Nice curve, just as I remember but he was hittable.
Dear Small Sample Size: I'd say it was a nice first outing.
Re: Cubs Drop Giants at Fitch Park
I'm happy for Rich. I hope he does well. I don't like to see anyone go out of the game due to Steve Blass disease.
Re: Cubs Drop Giants at Fitch Park
One of those walks was intentional. Maybe we can get Felix Pie back as the PTBN for Hill.
Gregg will still close...
Re: Gregg will still close...
I would hope not, before this pitiful meltdown Gregg had only given up 3 ER in 10.1 innings going back to April 22nd and after giving up 1 ER on May 1st had gone 6 games without giving up anything.
I say he's still got alot of rope until he loses the closer job.
Re: Gregg will still close...
He's got an okay splitter but other than that he's not exactly mesmerizing. If he doesn't work out Lou will work Guzman into the set up role and move Marmol in as closer, assuming Guzman keeps pitching well of course.
Re: Cubs Drop Giants at Fitch Park
Briefly a Cub, Mariner Garrett Olson has given up two 2-run HR's (Bay, Varitek) in his first two innings. Boston ahead 4-0 in Seattle.
Re: Cubs Drop Giants at Fitch Park
AZ, your reports lately are getting lame. NO attendance figures, and I think this is the second time in a row.
I had a third grade teacher, named Mrs. Patton, who slapped your hands with a ruler when you fucked up like that.
I hope Rob G. is taking note of these deficiencies.
Re: Cubs Drop Giants at Fitch Park
Dude, and have a Shiner Bock for me too!
ps...I noticed the missing attendance numbers as well, just sayin. Maybe Carlos Marmol should be writing up these reports from Fitch Park.
Re: Cubs Drop Giants at Fitch Park
Hey, AZ, Hak-Ju Lee?
Isn't he the shortstop I queried about a few days ago? He got a few ABs today?
Re: Cubs Drop Giants at Fitch Park
Edinson Volquez leaves Reds/Pads game with back spasms.
Re: Cubs Drop Giants at Fitch Park
Begin Volquez-Prior over usage comparisons.
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
...and David Weathers walked in the tying run in the 8th
now 5-5 into bottom 12.
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
Padres won this game in 16 innings. Nick Hundley walk off. Volquez left with back problems as well as Votto leaving with 'dizzyness'.
Tomorrow its Arroyo vs Peavy...Reds could be looking at being swept after sweeping the Dbacks.
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
Dusty uses Owings for 6 innings (81 pitches) on 3 days rest (he pitched tuesday), never goes to Cordero or tomorrow's starter Arroyo (just call someone up for a spot start tomorrow, Nick Massett has to go on the DL anyway).
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
That's always been his thing. He did that to Harang last year in the 18 inning marathon on two days rest. Not trying to be a Dusty hater because it's the tragically hip thing to do, but his pitching decisions in LONG extra inning games have always been puzzling, to say the least.
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
No need to scoreboard watch on the Reds. I've been assured by expert sources that they're no good.
Minors Update
Vitters went 3/4 with his 4th HR yesterday and is hitting .342/.376/.496 now, sadly his strike zone judgement is typical of Cubs prospects (3 BB's to 17 K's). Ryan Butcher, who seems to be Peoria's closer has a 0.59 ERA and 22 K's in 15.1 innings. He's also had 8 BB's.
Starlin Castro (SS) got 4 hits for Daytona to raise his BA to .292, which is pretty nice for that league.
TN got rained out.
Fox went 3/4 with a double to get his BA up to a cool .429 as the I Cubs got pummelled by the Salt Lake Prohibitionists.
According to Street&Smiths Sports Business Journal -
"Chicago Cubs buyer Tom Ricketts is close to lining up three banks to arrange the $450 million financing necessary to complete his acquisition of the team, financial sources said, positioning him to clear a substantial hurdle in the long-running sale of the club"
Good to see our bank bailout money helping multi-millionaires buy baseball teams.
Re: CUBS PURCHASE UPDATE
This thing is looking like a train wreck. I'll go out on a limb and say in 5 years Tom Ricketts will either A. not be owner or B. be in the process of selling the team.
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
Via Rotoworld, the Cards will trot out Carpenter on Wednesday against the Cubs.
Derrek's warming up..
okay, it's Brian Moehler but he's crushed two of them today...
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
Z's rehab start: 3.2 IP 4 Runs 5 Hits 3 BB and 67 pitches
but he seems to be healthy.
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
Who cares about his pitching line, did he hit a home run?
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
I wonder if Daytona is going to have Z stick around for tomorrows game to maybe PH.
What personal ritual did Rich Hill pick up from Ryan Dempster?
Re: CUBS TRIVIA QUESTION
Hot shit all over his balls pregame?
Oh, Ryan Dempster, not Roger Clemens.
Flamingo sprints in the outfield?
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
Another day, another HR for Vitters.
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
To go with 2 doubles. I imagine the rival managers will start petitioning the Midwest League Commisioner to force-promote Vitters shortly.
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
Az. Phil, how close to playing in the field is Hak-Ju Lee? Also, is Dae Eun Rhee making progress in his Rehab? Thanks.
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
And, also, isn't Lee the given name rather than the family name? Which would mean the "last name" is Hak-Ju? So if AZ Phil was Asian he'd be Phil AZ? Am I wrong about this?
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
WSCR 670 reporting that the Tribune is reporting that "the Chicago Cubs sale is nearing completion".
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
...For what it's worth.
Of course, it's been nearing completion for over a year now.
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
In other news, the blades of grass in my lawn are slowly getting longer.
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
Sports Business Journal reports today that Tom Ricketts has lined up three banks -- JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Bank of America -- to arrange the $450 million in financing needed to close the Ricketts family's $900 million acquisition of the Cubs.
The magazine said the deal could be done by this week
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
This is a bit confusing. Shouldn't one of the criteria to be a buyer of the Cubs been, you know, having the money or financing available? Would Cuban be looking to sell preferred stock and getting loans from poorly run financial institutions?
Re: Cubs Drop Angels at Fitch Park
Hope he got fixed-rate. I heard those variable-rate things are trash.
Re: Here's the exciting news
EXCEPT that Paul Sullivan misquotes the article. IT DOES NOT SAY he's lined up three banks. If you want to know what the article actually says, see post #22 above.
I should explain that the Sports Business Journal article I quoted yesterday is the same one Sullivan thinks is new today, Monday. Yesterday it required a subscription to read it, today it's free.
Instead of apologizing
Telander writes this today
Theriot -- not a huge guy at 5-11, 180 pounds -- has seen 10 of his last 14 hits go for extra bases (four doubles, a triple and five home runs) and is second on the Cubs with 66 total bases (behind Alfonso Soriano).
Two days ago, all that sudden power got me to thinking: Theriot had one home run last season, just seven in his career, and he has five already this year?
You hate to do it, but what else can a skeptic think when numbers abruptly burgeon in this era of A-Fraud and Manny and major-league head-in-the-sand-ism?
Performance-enhancing drugs.
Now I know it's hard for a crackhead like Telander to remember all the way back to the 2006 season, but Ryan Theriot put up even more impressive numbers that year with the same number of at bats.
Re: Instead of apologizing
Clearly this jerk is just drumming up some press. Small sample size, adjusted swing. Oh, and people can get better at things they do a lot. Who knew?
I thought his initial point, that the steroid era has made our first reaction suspicion, was a good one. But he should have acknowledged that was only an unfounded and easily refuted first reaction, particularly in the Theriot case.
Doesn't Albert Pujols actually make a better foundation for his argument? I mean, there is a guy against whom we have absolutely no evidence, yet his performance (and I suppose his somewhat amorphous bald head) has been reason enough to suspect him of using PEDs. There's your article, A-hole.

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 :(
Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales
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.

A rare mishap in which the child's father is having sexually relations with another man as the child walks in. The semen then shoots and lands perfectly on the child's hair marking him for life. It is a commonly known source for embarrassment and bullying among school and friends. Most inflicted with this unfortunate incident should and do turn to suicide.

Perfect for Pen Aficionados!
By Ami
from Boston, MA
Comments about Levenger Bomber Jacket Unifier:
I adore this organizer because it allows me to keep all of my "handwriting" supplies together and convenient to my workspace. My two Circa notebooks (as well as the odd file or small book) fit in the "file" spaces, while the front of the organizer holds my pens and 3x5 notecards, ready for quickly jotting down an idea. Best of all, the foam inserts allow my pens to remain separated instead of clinking together in a pen cup. The color is gorgeous as well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

really like the product. Initially, I thought the leather may be a little stiff. Upon receiving, I was pleasantly surprised in terms of how soft, plush and pliable the leather is. Lastly, great quality and finish. Worth the investment.
Delightful Organizer!
By JRZKYZ
from San Diego, CA
This unit is a perfect organizer/display for one's everyday items, such as multiple pens, wallet, car holders. It is well made and ill last for years. It's classic styling does not interfere with one's furniture and surroundings. The best feature is it can hold several pads of paper including 81/2x11 pads.Wonderful!
