Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Yes, Six.
- Phew, it's Len and Bob on WGN.
- LouPa eventually is going to have to do things he doesn't want to do
- LouPa feels for these guys
- Looks overcast at Wrigley
- Len with a nice crack about "Hoping I can out-yell the Hawk today."
- Wayne Messmer belts it out. Just once, I want to see him change it up, and do it to a Samba style beat or something....
- Game starts will ball one to Podsednik, then a fastball down the middle for a strike. Sinker, Podsednik chops one to Blanco who makes the easy flip to first.
- Fastball strike to start Alexei Ramirez. Grounder to Fontenot's right, a nice backhand and throw for the 5-3.
- Another first-pitch strike to Dye. 0-2 count, Dye chops one back to Z, who sort of goes down on one knee to cradle it in, still bobbles it a bit. Fires an unnecessary fastball to Lee for the putout. Easy first inning, 11 pitches.
- Floyd spikes the first pitch into the left-handed batter's box, to a few cat calls. Gets the second pitch over for a strike.
- Hanging slider, Soriano lines it toward the left field corner, but Podsednik makes a nice running catch.
- Fastball down the middle, Theriot flies out to Podsednik.
- 2-1 to Bradley, swings over a slider, 2-2. Two more balls for the walk.
- Lee goes down to reach for a fastball, drives it to right field, but Dye's there for the easy catch.
- Slider for strike one to Konerko. Quickly 0-2 on a bunch of sliders, K's chasing one down and outside.
- AJ gets some boos as he steps in. Z working very quickly, I turn my head and it's 1-1.
- AJ grounds one up the first base line, foul, but Lee completes the play, firing the ball to Z as he covers. Z bare-hands it.
- AJ flies out to right.
- Anderson singles into left.
- Rob G says that Pat Hughes says that Z. hasn't given up an XBH in three games.
- And right as rain, Getz pulls one, dumping it down the right field line for a double, runners at 2 and 3
- Beckham gets grazed by a pitch, takes first. Not too bad, with the open base and the pitcher up next. Just barely caught the sleeve, it looks like.
- High fastball and Floyd K's swinging. Long inning, Z now at 34 pitches.
- 2-0 to Soto. That sort of rhymes. Two-oh Soto.
- Grounder to Alexei, 6-3 to Soto. That doesn't rhyme.
- Fontenot with a nice line-drive single into the right-center gap, Dye cuts it off.
- Fukudome grounds into the Easiest 4-6-3 Ever, except Getz gets a bit of a high-hop at the end, he drops it, shovels it to Alexei Ramirez, who has his eye on the sliding Fontenot, and the ball gets away. Everyone safe, runners at 1 and 2.
- Blanco hits a pretty sharp liner back up the middle, but Floyd gets a glove on it, slowing it down for Getz, who goes to the bag, and turns an easy 4-3 double play, inning over.
- Quickly a 1-2 count to Podsednik, who stares at strike 3, a fastball on the outside corner.
- Ramirez grounds to Blanco.
- Anotehr quick 0-2 to Dye. Pops up a 1-2 slider, foul, Soto grabs it. 51 pitchs, 2 hits, 0 BB and 3 K for Z, through 3.
- Z flails away, and gets a quick 3-pitch strikeout.
- Soriano rolls one to the left of Alexei Ramirez, who makes a nice play for the 6-3 putout.
- Theriot with a sharp grounder to Getz, who again drops it, but recovers for the 4-3. Just 31 pitches through 3 for Floyd, 1BB, K and hit.
- Konerko rolls out to Blanco on the first pitch.
- and AJ bounces one to Fontenot.
- 3-2 to Anderson. As Brenley points out, Z looks to have good command of a live fastball today.
- and that said, Anderson walks.
- Anderson runs, a called strike, and Soto makes a bit of a high throw, but Theriot gets down the tag for the end-of-inning caught stealing.
- Bradley dumps a low fastball into left field for a single
- Lee hits a slow grounder to third, but Beckham turns the 5-4-3. Surprisingly, just Lee's second of the year.
- Soto walks.
- wtf. They aren't holding Soto on, and Soto runs, just barely beating the tag. 1st stolen base for Soto!
- full count to Fontenot.
- Fontenot walks, bases loaded and two outs for Fukudome
- Fukudome bounces one back up the middle, but Getz makes a very nice diving catch, and flips to Ramirez to just barely get the force. Tough way to end the inning.
- Getz quickly rolls out to Blanco
- Len notes the wind is shifting, blowing in from right, and might be a portent of the coming rain
- Beckham rolls a single into right.
- Floyd with a nice bunt up the 1B line, Lee tags him out. Beckham advances.
- Podsednik with a soft fly out to center, inning over.
- Blanco rolls out to second.
- Zambrano chases a pitch in the dirt, striking out. Not happy about it.
- Soriano pops to second. Lame inning.
- Ramirez flies out to straight-away center.
- Dye lines one just to the right of the tommy armor sign in left-center for a double
- Konerko comes up and you can hear the Sox fans chanting "Paulie". Cubs fans try to drown it out with boos.
- 3-1 to Konerko, pops a slider into right, Dye holds at second.
- AJ intentionally walked to get to Anderson. 1 and 2, two outs.
- Anderson dumps one into right-center, Bradley with a little bobble, but no play at the plate anyway. 0-1 Sox
- and Gets rolls out to Blanco, ending the inning.
- I just want to point out to Sister Trans that the only person shown talking on a cell phone at wrigley today, so far, is a Sox fan.
- Theriot singles to right on an 0-2 count.
- Bradley takes a big swing at the first pitch, a fastball down the middle, and misses.
- Another fastball down the middle, Bradley fouls it off, 1-2 count. Floyd keeps missing inside, full count.
- Theriot runs, and Bradley hits a sharp single to center. 1 and 3, no outs.
- Lee hits a weak roller to Getz. They try for the 4-6-3, can't get Lee at first. Theriot scores, one out, Lee at first, and 1-1 game
- As Brenley points out the huge hole on the right side of the infield, Soto pulls a grounder to shortstop, for the easy 6-4-3 double play.
- Beckham with the leadoff walk, Floyd stays in to try to bunt him over. Good grief, he's only thrown 76 pitches, so probably a no brainer.
- Floyd bunts him over.
- Heilman warming up.
- Podsednik pops one toward the Cubs' bullpen, where Heilman stares at the popup, almost blocking off Soriano's path. Soriano stumbles over the bullpen and makes a fine back-handed catch up against the wall.
- Slider down the middle, and Alexei Ramirez lines a home-run to straight-away left, a few rows into the bleacher. Lots of cheers heard at Wrigley. 1-3 Sox
- Dye lines out to Bradley
- The coach to some hockey team sings the stretch. Whoever he is, he's horrid. But what did you expect, he's a hockey coach. He goes "root, root root for the" and shuts up, only to then go on with "if they don't win it's a shame." Pretty sad.
- Marmol now up. Fontenot rolls out to Beckham.
- Fukudome bounces back to Floyd.
- I'm going to do this part of the recap before it happens: Blanco makes an out, and the inning ends.
- Yep.
- Marmol in. 1-2 count to Konerko, he hangs a slider, Konerko goes to right for the single.
- Marmol misses his location with a fastball by about three feet, and Soto stretches from outside of AJ back towards AJ, with the ball just getting away from him. Konerko takes second, and it's ruled a passed ball.
- AJ rolls to second, for what would have been a GIDP. Instead it's a 4-3, runner advancing to third. AJ looks into his dugout as he runs down the line, Len wonders if it isn't to indicate to someone that he had made the right play and advanced the runner? Who knows.
- Linebrink warming up.
- Anderson pops to Lee, just foul of first base.
- Getz pulls yet another looping hit down the right-field line, this time for a double. 1-4 Sox.
- 0-2 to Beckham, he inside-outs a slider thrown over the plate, and lines a single to right. Bradley tries for the play at the plate, but Getz is safe. Marmol getting hit pretty solidly on the breaking stuff. 1-5 Sox.
- Sean Marshall in to face Josh Fields. Thome had been on deck. Was he announced as the hitter, or not? Not yet sure, he may still be available for pinch-hitting. Ok, he was announced, then taken down.
- Marshall walks Fields. Len and Bob fail to make any sort of department store-related pun.
- Podsednik grounds out to Blanco.
- A Micah Hoffpauir sighting, as he hits for Marshall. Linebrink in. Just 90 pitches for Floyd, 3 BB and 2 K.
- Hoffpauir down 0-2.
- Hoffpauir accepts some charity from Getz, as a ball clangs off his body. Eventful day for Getz at second.
- I look up, and it's an 0-2 count to Soriano.
- Linebrink makes a mistake, a fastball in to Soriano, and he lines it to left for a single. Hoffpauir to second.
- Theriot swings from his ass at a fastball, missing it. 0-1 count. And again, fouled off, 1-2. Battles back to 3-2 count.
- Another big swing, and Theriot pops up to Getz. 1 out.
- 2-0 count to Bradley. Only Cub who seems to be working from ahead in the count these days. On to a full count. K's swinging over a down and inside change-up.
- Mercifully, Lee bails us out of another failed rally, and hits an opposite field home run into the basket directly about the 368 sign in right field. Fastball over the plate. 4-5 Sox.
- And now Soto hits a home run on the next pitch, to straight-away left, several rows up. Wrigley finally sounds like Wrigley. 5-5 tie.
- Matt Thornton in, Jake Fox in to hit for Fontenot. Flies out to center.
- Gregg in. Miles in for Fontenot at third, Fox out of game. Alexei Ramirez hits one back up the middle, Gregg has his back turned to the plate and goes for the back-hand grab, no go. Ball sneaks into center for the single.
- Dye chops to Theriot, who starts a very ugly 6-4-3 attempt. Theriot has the ball stick in his glove a bit, then does an awkard shovel, screwing up Blanco's rythem, who double-pumps, and throws one past Lee. Dye holds at first. Dewayne Wise runs for Dye.
- Konerko is 7-9 with a HR off of Gregg. Gregg gets him to fly to Bradley
- Wise runs, AJ bounces one right up the line to Lee, who steps on first.
- Reed Johnson to face Thornton instead of Fukudome. Wise stays in for Dye, in right.
- Johnson singles sharply up the middle.
- Blanco, who had given up on batting righty, will face Thornton right handed to attempt the bunt. It works, a fine bunt up the first base line. Johnson on second with one out.
- Aaron oftheridiculouslookingbeardforhisbodyandbattingstance Miles hits a slow roller to the 6-5 hole. Beckham had the easier play, but lets Ramirez get it so that Beckham can cover third and keep Johnson holding at second. Ramirez gets to it, gets Miles at first.
- Guess what? 1-2 count to Soriano. Now 2-2
- Soriano fists a floater over Getz and into shallow left-center for a single. Johnson scores uncontested, 6-5 Cubs.

Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
What an exciting comeback, which is amazing to say about this team. Maybe this gets some pressure off them and they start hitting better now. Great win.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
2. Big 8th for Cubs
...it came at the start of the Cubs' half of the eighth, letting Hoffpauir get on. Without that, the inning would have ended with a Bradley strikeout with two men on base.
I think it would have ended with Bradley striking out with one man on...
/accuracy police.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Hoffpauir wouldn't have been on-base though w/o the error.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Re: start hitting better now.
Kosuke looks like he's just about done.
After a bad start this month, he's 0 for 20 the last week.
Re: start hitting better now.
Next time he's in the batter's box they can bring out the big black curtains and have him put down.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Nice comeback! Way to make them pay for the errors. All but 1 of the Cub's runs today are unearned!
Watching on Yahoo! I kind of freaked out when I saw:
HR: A Ramirez
It took several minutes before I realized who it really was.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Good times. I miss parachat already.
Neat trick
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
which is why I'd like to see RJ het more starts against Rh or Lh pitching.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Tyler Colvin just hit a 12th-inning walkoff homer for Tennessee, his second of the game.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
I'm hoping that he can somehow maintain, say, a .800+ OPS with his current K rate. Considering his "status", I wonder, if he stays hot for say, a month or so, if they'll bump him to AAA.
After struggling quite a bit, Dan McDaniel rallied and had a solid start tonight, 6 ip, 5h, 1 r, 1 bb, 3 K's. A very nice sight.
Josh Vitters went 2/5, RBI, K. Here's hoping he turns his June (entering today, 55 AB's, .200/.258/.273) around.
Mitch Atkins picked up his 5th win. 7ip, 6, h, 2 r, 1 bb, 3 K's. He hasn't been as bad as that ugly ERA (6.90), although he certainly hasn't been good. Basically, he's what he was last year, IMO.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Vitters = BABIP bad luck.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
I actually wasn't pointing it out as a negative or a positive, just pointing it out for pointing it out's sake.
That said, if you are going to use BABIP as an argument for his June, then one should also point out the BABIP with May, particularly, iirc, due to his LD rates.
Overall, not worried either way, there's always a bit of balancing and no one really expected him to maintain his ridiculous power. I still expect him to get called up to Daytona at some point in the near future. Not sure how the rest will shake out, but I'm hard pressed to see Vitters stay at Peoria for the whole year and I somehow doubt that they'd be brash enough to jump him to Tennessee. Just watch me be dead wrong.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Vitters' second hit was a walk-off single in the bottom of the tenth.
Three walk-offs yesterday for the Cubs' extended family.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
wow...hate i missed this one. go scrubs.
Neat Trick
a 12th-inning walkoff homer for Tennessee, his second of the game.
wow...two walkoff HR's in one game. Now THAT is a neat trick.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
I wish I had seen this one, too. Luckily I subscribe to MLB Tv so I'll watch the last part of the game.
When Len Kasper first started announcing for this team I did not like him one bit. But I really like him as an announcer now. And Bob is great, IMHO.
I don't know how long they can keep sending Kosuke out there. I really wanted that guy to succeed but it just ain't happening. Strangely enough, I've been wanting to see Milton Bradley succeed, too. Not to get all psychiatric on you guys but it just seems like he is hurting inside big time for some reason and I always root for people like that.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Thanks for that, Trans. My instinct was obviously right. How can someone not root for a guy like this? I want to go to Wrigley just to give the dude the Dawson swami.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
This comes as no surprise. Black man in baseball has issues from his past AND because he chose baseball, which is getting whiter all the time? I hope Bradley hits .310/.390/.520 from here on out. [ With Fox alternating between LF and 3B)
We Can Only Hope...
The way Fox sees it, the Cubs look at him like he's short, fat and fighting against a little athleticism. The way I see it, Fox might be the second coming of Kevin Youkilis.
Re: We Can Only Hope...
followed by...
"Until the Cubs get sick of Mike Fontenot and Miles clogging up two lineup spots, Fox will have to wait for another batch of interleague play."
Re: We Can Only Hope...
well if he thinks he's Youklis, probably thinks he could play 3b.
Re: We Can Only Hope...
Well given its Cliff Lee pitching tomorrow, I hope we do see Fox playing 3B tomorrow. Fontenot cant hit LHP and with Harden going going tomorrow you know if he is on there wont be that many balls hit into play. It seems like the perfect opprunity to give him a chance there.
Re: We Can Only Hope...
Clearly this Miami Herald writer is not a regular on TCR. *eye roll*
Re: We Can Only Hope...
Really odd comparison, as Fox is much more of a free swinger. I guess if he thinks that Fox's discipline can significantly get better at this age, perhaps, but I tend to doubt that would happen. I've been trying to ponder a Fox comparison for awhile, going with different names, but the one I'm going with, for now, as a positive scenario, is Josh Willingham. Former catcher as well.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
This morning, I was briefly pondering, during a coffee break, whether or not I would switch Bradley for Magglio. I believe Bradley will get it going a bit, but I'm also hard pressed to see Magglio's power just disappear that dramatically ...
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
This is from Stark's Rumblings on ESPN.com, sheds some light on why they might be benching him - $:
He has fewer extra-base hits than Joe Thurston. He has a lower slugging percentage than Anderson Hernandez. He has fewer home runs than Brendan Harris. And no, we're not talking about David Ortiz. We're talking about another fallen bopper who has somehow stayed off America's radar screen, Magglio Ordonez (.273 AVG./.343 SLG/2 HR/11 XBH).
"He might be Big Papi's biggest fan," said one scout, "because Big Papi has taken all the attention away from him. I'm not sure what happened, but this guy has aged a lot quicker than the norm. I don't see him getting better. I see him getting worse. I don't see the ball jumping off his bat at all. He's up there now, and he's just content to look for the breaking ball and hit soft line drives the other way. It's almost like he's playing hit-and-run every at-bat."
If this keeps up much longer, it will become more than just a baseball issue for the Tigers. Another 215 plate appearances, and Ordonez will lock in an $18 million option for next year, a payout the Tigers can't possibly find too attractive at the moment.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Despite what Ricketts family claimed yesterday, reports tonight are the Tribune has opened sales talks with a rival bidder.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
it was mentioned in the previous thread as well, looks like they've gone back to Utay
An exclusivity period between Tribune and the Ricketts group has
ended and the media company is now talking to a group that includes
private equity investors Marc Utay and Leo Hindery, three sources
familiar with the situation said.
"We know that they went back to the Utay group," said one of the
sources, who asked not to be identified because the sales process has
not closed.
it does say that Ricketts deal is still considered close and probably Trib trying to get Ricketts to finish up the deal.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Whomever ends up buying the team I hope it gets done soon. I'm sure that's the reason the team is so bad. Oh wait.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Sounds like grandstanding on the part of the Tribune. Just trying to give the Ricketts a little kick in the butt. Of course I'm no business expert, so don't take my word for it.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Happy Birthday Carlos Rubi!
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Joel Piniero was taken off the field in the 6th with an injury (knee or ankle?)...didn't see it he had to have teammates help him and he couldn't put weight on one leg
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Can fukodome be traded to the japanese league for some sake?
Sale update...
plus Personal Seat licenses coming your way..
The Cubs showed a $31 million profit in 2007, according to major league sources. Projecting more revenue sources for the future is a key for any ownership group to be able to recognize. League sources have told me that Personal Seat Licensing (PSLs) for season ticket holders are a projected revenue source that creditors and banks are looking at in trying to judge whether or not to give out a loan to prospective buyers, in this case, the Ricketts family. For example, a one-time call for 20,000 season-ticket holders paying $2,500 each per license could realize up to $50 million. That would bring in a huge amount of cash that could be projected against the debt by any new owner. So far, the banks aren't so sure of the fan base buying into the idea because of the country's economic downturn.
Re: Sale update...
If the banks think that won't work because of the economic downturn, they are beyond retarded. There's what, like 50,000 people on the season ticket waiting list? The whole PSL thing sucks hard, but they're out of their minds if they don't think they could come up with 20,000 people willing to pay it.
Hendry's Number 2 Touch strikes again....
I'm sure it's been mentioned, but Casey McGehee...
tried to sneak him through waivers and get him off the 40-man last fall and then ended up having nothing but room on the 40-man.
880 OPS right now, 15 G at 2b, 9 at 3B...stupid right-handed hitters.
1009 OPS since May 19th 379/457/552 with 7 2b, 1 HR....
Re: Hendry's Number 2 Touch strikes again....
When did Casey McGehee ever look like a potential offensive contributor?
I like prospects as much as just about anyone, but McGehee's slugging percentage constantly hovered around .400 and his OBP was typically under .350 in the minors, all while not stealing bases and playing mostly third base. His mediocrity with the bat was the reason the organization tried to teach him to catch, wasn't it? I'm guessing he's on a hot streak (though I acknowledge that players CAN get better--I just don't think the sample size is big enough yet to consider proof that McGehee has improved that much). I'm be interested to hear an expert's take on him, though--something more in-depth than the PR stuff you get out of the front office about prospects.
Re: Hendry's Number 2 Touch strikes again....
I will stake my reputation as an asshole and say that Casey McGehee will not end his major league career as a .379 hitter.
Re: Hendry's Number 2 Touch strikes again....
nothing more than to show Hendry's incredible knack for turning everything into shit over the offseason...
I didn't think it was much of a big deal at the time either, although I could have probably thought of 5-10 other guys that could have gotten kicked off the 40-man before McGehee. Start with immediately putting Brad Snyder through waivers as AZ Phil suggested.
Re: Hendry's Number 2 Touch strikes again....
Although fwiw, I believe McGehee has been sitting recently due to a sore knee and ankle.
Re: Hendry's Number 2 Touch strikes again....
he left Tuesday's game in the 7th with the injury and didn't play Wednesday, otherwise he's been playing most everyday and having a fantastic June.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Btw, it hasn't crossed my mind in awhile, but did we ever find out what was going on with Jordan Latham? I remember the odd circumstances at the start of the season, and then he sorta slipped my mind. He was a promising pen arm with that, um, off the top, slider? I thought he was about on level with say, a Blake Parker, who really took off this year. Part of me wanted to see Latham tried as a starter.

It all started with this.
That was during the post-2007 off-season and he did pitch at Daytona last year.
I don't know exactly happened during Spring Training 2009, although he probably was under some type of Cubbie super-secret double-probation as the result of the 12/07 incident.
I don't know what his exact status is at present. Somebody here at TCR said he got released, but I'm not sure that's what happened. He might have gotten released, or he could be on both the Daytona 35-man Reserve List and Temporary Inactive List, or he could be on the Restricted List. I guess we'll find out eventually.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Hilarious watching the Comcast replay of the game with Hawk and Stone as the announcers. Hawk's calls of the Lee and Soto HRs were barely above a whisper and he basically blamed the loss on the home plate ump not calling Soriano out on strikes in the 8th.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Even if I were a Sox fan, I wouldn't be able to listen to Hawk. He's brutal.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
That was one of the least professional things I have ever heard in sports announcing. He sounded like an 8-year old kid who was whining that people were picking on him. The boderline pitch (and it was borderline, as either side would have been upset with the call) on 1-2 was the whole inning, per Hawk. The Sox error and Cub HRs had nothing to do with it.
The CF camera is not in a direct line with the rubber and the plate -- it is at an angle (so as not to be in the hitter's line of sight), which distorts the appearance of pitch location.
I am normally OK with Hawk -- despite his flaws, he clearly loves the game of baseball, and is into every game, no matter the score. But that was awful.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
This morning, Mike and Mike played Santo's reaction to Soto's homer and Soriano's single. Great stuff.
local ponzi scheme
this isn't fresh news but Chet Coppock was on the wgn radio sports central with David Kaplan last night talking about his involvement along with quite a few others in sports talk, including Mike North were swindled in an $11M ponzi scheme which was an online sports talk venture called ChicagoSportsWebio.com.
apparently Tom Schaer knew the organizer had a prior criminal record but didn't alert North and others about it...so there is some really bad blood out there right now.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5

Radar looks a lot worse than it did Tuesday night. Just all red over Northern IL.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
My parents live in Easter Iowa on the Illinois border. They had 60 MPH winds this morning at about 9:30 that knocked down power to a lot of the city. That's the cell that is now over Chicago. So it sounds pretty intense, but my parents also said it is sunny and clear now.

Rob - when I come to the page via Firefox not logged in I get this:

Also, weather.com's hour by hour is showing a 3 hour sun window from 2 - 5 as it stands right now. They have to get this in, right, because they can't do a day-night tomorrow (City rules) or Sunday (ESPN rules)?

I also had to listen to way to many ,dadgummit,getup,but the best one was when i think ramirez couldnt get the ball out of his glove. (He just couldnt find the ears on it).
Farmer or the Hawk what a choice sox fans have.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Farmer is just as wretched.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
While waiting for the game to start today, I watched the 8th and 9th innings of yesterday's game with Hawk and Stone. I laughed as their tone grew smug during the top half of the 8th. I really enjoyed listening to Hawk whining about the "4 unearned runs" that were all a result of the home plate umpire not calling strikes acurately. Ha, ha. Man it was fun.
Muskat says...
there's a window this afternoon to try and get the game in...
Re: Muskat says...
Well Given that its interleague, I am sure they will try to get in because if they cant they will have to play a traditional back to back doubleheader (thanks to the agreement they have with the city) tomorrow or Sunday. Looking at the Indians schedule it looks like we have no common off-days to make it up with a double header.
BTW, i dont know if its 3/44 but Jake Fox is playing 3B and batting fifth.

"According to babelfish, Carlos told The Joe his penis is respectable?!?"
I forgot to clarify this important information. According to babelfish, Carlos told me in Mexican that me penis was small. My response was that, no, it is respectable. Carlos was thinking of that time we were nude together, but in my defense, I had had a popsicle in my pocket prior to our encounter.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
I'm glad I could clarify.
Re: Game 62 Recap: Cubs 6, Bad Father's Day Gifts 5
Still kind of dark here, but it's not raining. At one point, the storm was threatening enough that they asked us to move away from perimeter windows (we're on the 17th floor of our building).

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

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

Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.

Ofcom blesses Linux-powered, open source DIY radio 'revolution'
Small scale DAB radio was (quite literally) conceived in an Ofcom engineer's garden shed in Brighton, on a Raspberry Pi, running a full open source stack, in his spare time. Four years later, Ofcom has given the thumbs up to small scale DAB after concluding that trials in 10 UK cities were judged to be a hit. We gave you an exclusive glimpse into the trials last year, where you could compare the specialised proprietary encoders with the Raspberry Pi-powered encoders. "We believe that there is a significant level of demand from smaller radio stations for small scale DAB, and that a wider roll-out of additional small scale services into more geographic areas would be both technically possible and commercially sustainable," notes Ofcom.

It's been awhile since they've seen action on the field or even the light of day, but a set of old Holland Central School District sports uniforms are about to become the focal point of a fundraiser aimed at helping the district's sports programs in the future.
The annual Holland Tulip Festival will host the uniform sale May 11 at the arts and crafts show in the high school, where people will be able to buy back their old uniforms and help generate revenue for the district's athletic teams.
"They're basically just collecting dust," said athletic director Matthew Adams, who came up with the idea after recalling the purchase of his own varsity hockey jersey from Kenmore West, where he graduated.
Adams said hundreds of articles of clothing, including soccer jerseys, track and field uniforms, warm-ups and cheerleading outfits, some dating back to the district's earliest days, are available.
Jamie Emmick, president of the Holland Athletic Club, who will handle the fundraiser, is a passionate athletics booster in the cash-strapped district, though her own children are scarcely old enough to play T-ball. "People don't realize how you use the things that you learn in sports in everyday life. I was a three-sport athlete," said Emmick, a 2004 Holland graduate. "They developed who I am. I don't know what I would have done without it."
The Holland uniforms don't have individual names on them and are a varying mix of the school's colors – purple, white and gold. Many uniforms are still in good shape, though they've been housed in an athletic cage in the Middle School's basement for years.
Proceeds from the uniform sale will go toward the district's athletic teams, which cannot all be supported by the district, said board President Steve Marom. In fact, due to budget constraints, girls swimming, volleyball and junior varsity field hockey have been cut from next year's budget. And, last week, Adams learned his own job has been eliminated as well.
Since August, the Holland Athletic Club has raised $2,000 to benefit the district's athletic programs. A chicken and rib barbecue is planned at the Community Center on May 19.


text: The song will be heard throughout the 2010 World Cup, an event which could have the largest worldwide audience in history. The overall campaign aims to create awareness about the MDGs at individual, community and government levels."I am extremely proud that as a UNV volunteer, I was given the chance and the responsibility to coordinate such a prestigious project as '8 Goals for Africa', hence actively contributing to achieving the MDGs," says Mr. Verhellen, a Belgian national working since 2008 as Communications and Outreach Officer with the United Nations Information Centre in Pretoria, South Africa.An experienced TV director and producer, Mr. Verhellen took responsibility for the whole creative process, from conceiving the initial idea for the '8 Goals for Africa' song to identifying the artists and developing the communications strategy. (Click here to see the music video.)Having worked on European light entertainment for some years prior to becoming a UNV volunteer, Mr. Verhellen felt in need of a change. "I didn't want to be a producer of successful programmes, I didn't want to be a 'star director', I didn't want to just distract people for a few hours a week," he says. "I wanted to make a difference in people's lives." When the Government of Belgium offered him the chance to come to South Africa and work with the United Nations Information Centre, he took the opportunity with both hands, he says. "It was clear to me that UNV was there to add value to the UN," adds Mr. Verhellen. "That UNV was there to bring expertise to the UN, expertise that can make a difference, hence contributing to a better world. I quickly realized that I was back where I belonged, in an environment where I could make that much wanted difference.""The '8 Goals for Africa' campaign is not yet finished," concludes Christophe Verhellen. "In fact, it has just started. The song is there, the campaign is there, but now we have to bring it to the people."At the UN Millennium Summit in 2000, world leaders from 189 states made the historic promise to end poverty by 2015 when they signed up to the Millennium Declaration and agreed to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The '8 Goals for Africa' song and accompanying video are part of a wider awareness and advocacy campaign developed by the United Nations system in South Africa. They were officially launched by UNDP Administrator Helen Clark during her visit to South Africa on 14 May 2010.The song and all related materials are available for download at www.8goalsforafrica.org. The World Cup opens on 11 June 2010, with the final match on 11 July 2010.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE - With the National Weather Service predicting more snow for the region this weekend, regional road crews - which have seen no reduction in staffing due to budgetary constraints - are ready to ensure the safety of motorists this winter season, officials said.
Caltrans is in the process of beefing up its District 3 crew to a total of 600 employees, 250 of whom are seasonal, said Rochelle Jenkins, Caltrans spokesperson, while sand houses are full and equipment ranging from plows to brining systems are ready to go.
"We prepare like we always do," she said. "Brace for the worst and hope for the least."
Last year proved to be a mild winter, with only 335 inches of snow falling over Donner Summit, said Steve Kirkpatrick, Caltrans District 3 deputy director of maintenance and traffic operations, compared to the previous year's record-setting 818 inches.
The average area snowfall for the Truckee/Tahoe region is approximately 430 inches.
"We are continuously adjusting, increasing, changing our work hours to accommodate ... the level of service and maintenance these roads up here (require)," Kirkpatrick said.
Jenkins said the department's primary focus is to keep Interstate 80 open and safe to travel on, considering more than a $1 million in commerce travels on that corridor every hour.
The cost to keep the roads clear during the winter season varies based on the weather, but Caltrans' largest expense is labor, Jenkins said.
"... California's budget, it's not the greatest. But when it comes to keeping the roads open and operations up here, we had no reduction in our staffing levels," Kirkpatrick said.
The department will also spend approximately $60 per ton this winter on a new sand product - crushed granite - to be used on the North Shore, which is between $52 to $48 more per ton than regular sand, said Stan Richens, Caltrans Sutter/Sierra Region manager.
"It's got absolutely no dirt like the regular sand," he said. "This new sand product we're getting it's absolutely clean. We're going to try it for a year and do some testing and see where we're at."
Sand - and not salt - is used in the region to improve vehicle traction on snow- and ice-covered roads within the Tahoe Basin.
"The Tahoe Basin is its own ecosystem, so we have to be very mindful of that," Jenkins said. "Lake Tahoe is a very precious resource, and we take our stewardship of that lake very seriously."
Another thing to take seriously is being prepared for winter driving conditions.
Jenkins offered the following safety tips: Drivers should travel with a full tank of gas; keep food, water and blankets in their vehicles; have good treads on their tires and appropriate chains or cables in their possession; check area weather conditions frequently; and inform someone of their traveling route.
"People must have a health respect for Mother Nature because you never know what she'll throw," Jenkins said.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, a snow/rain mixture is predicted this weekend, with snow appearing in elevations of 6,000 feet and higher Friday. A second system will push a cold front into the area Sunday, bringing the potential for "moderate to heavy snow," according to the forecast for Truckee on www.noaa.gov.

Robin Thicke: Paula Patton and I Are 'Very Happy Right Now'
In one of his first interviews since their split, Thicke, 37, explained why he decided to voice such raw emotions during his tour.
"My music is very honest about what I'm going through and my songs are about my life," he told PEOPLE at the grand opening party of Express Times Square in New York City, where he performed on Tuesday. "And my relationship with her was 21 years of my life, so I just thought it was important to me to let people know how much she means to me."
And while Patton, 38, has yet to publicly acknowledge his messages, Thicke says she was touched by them.
"She loved it," Thicke added. "She thought it was the sweetest thing and very romantic, and I've always been a romantic guy that way."
Though Thicke was mum on the topic of a reconciliation, he insists that the couple – who are proud parents to son Julian, 3 – are in a great place.
"We're both doing well. We're both very happy right now – much happier," he said. "Everything about this moment in my life – this amazing year I just had and what I'm going through personally – has actually ignited some of the best writing I've done in a long time."
"Whatever everybody's wondering about, they're going to hear it all in the album," he added.
As for his goals for the rest of the year? "Just to be a great father and hopefully write some great music, put on some great shows and be a great friend to Paula," he said.
Thicke's next stop on his tour will be Indio, Calif., on March 28.

Framework for Managing Activity-Based Optimisation of Order-Delivery Process
Juuti, Jouni
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2005-04-29
Language: en
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication; 529
University: Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Department of Industrial Engineering and Management
Department: Institute of Production Engineering
In spite of the new elements included in competition today, traditional sources of competitiveness cannot be overlooked. In practice, development of these components is poorly structured. An understanding of the similarities and differences between the relevant isms and fashionable trends requires a thorough study. Development can be focused on products, operations and/or resources. This study focuses on operations and on the development of operational performance. Despite the availability of various methods to develop the order-delivery process, a clear need exists for methods which help to identify the primary development objects in the order-delivery process and to define the concrete development actions needed. The main object of this study is to develop a method to identify development actions on the activity level to achieve a comprehensive optimisation of the order-delivery process. Optimisation on the activity level contributes to a stabilisation of operation on the process level. Correspondingly, optimisation on the activity level may require a reengineering on the task level. The second object is to provide a description of the general structure of development. The study applies a constructive research approach and is divided into five main parts. The first deals with basic concepts of development. The second reviews the existing approaches to problem analysis in development work. The third part presents the model developed. The fourth part contains the practical validation of the research result and the final part contains the discussion of results and topics for further research. The main result of the study is the development of a method which enables the systematic inclusion of goals set on higher levels and a comprehensive analysis of operations, as well as proposes concrete development actions. The method presented in this study for structuring the ideas for development has proved very usable.

If it looks too good to be true . . .
If it looks too good to be true . . .
The recent runup in 2011 Class III milk price futures at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange has brought both relief and a euphoria to the nation's milk producers. But, as we've said before, as prices have climbed we've become increasingly wary. Here are more reasons why:
You probably already know that Class III prices go up or down each weekday as a result of trading at the CME. But did you know that trading is done by only a handful (often less than 10) people? Did you know they gather around a whiteboard to make offers to buy or sell products or to just observe? Did you know each day's trading session never lasts more than 10 minutes and is usually much less? Did you know prices for butter, powder, and cheese can go up or down (and often do) merely by offering to pay more or sell for less than the previous day's price, even if no sales actually take place?
Last week, block and barrel cheese prices at the CME increased from $1.525 and $1.51 per pound, respectively, to $1.735 and $1.705. Prices for both products increased every day. What you may not know is that almost no sales took place. During the entire week, only one load (40,000 to 44,000 pounds) of blocks was sold and only three loads of barrels.
Think about that: A huge movement in a huge component of the process that determines monthly milk prices for every dairy in the U.S., which translates into over $2 billion in aggregate monthly milk income, was driven by four sales involving a grand total of less than $300,000. How wise is it to take year-long business risks based upon prices that involve so little actual market activity, and a process that is so unpredictable.

Hello all,
It's been a while. The forum was getting too clogged up with politicians and dormroom Aristotle wannabes and checking in was getting pretty tiresome. Anyway, I left for a while. I did some things, read some books, got in a little better shape...
Tonight I had a Scotch and spent a few minutes reflecting on the last year. Tuesday my daughter will turn one year old. I was feeling a bit nostalgic for you guys.
Shared an opinion and a joke and got drummed out as a troll within seconds.
I don't know if it's the opinion or the joke that rattled the chains of the "men" so severely, I just know that after all this time I don't care. I'm going to go now and won't be back.

NIAGARA FALLS – The Democrats in the Niagara County Legislature want to go on the record in support of moving the Buffalo Bills to Niagara Falls.
Legislator Jason A. Zona, one of three Democrats in the 15-member Legislature, on Wednesday released a measure he and his colleagues, Dennis F. Virtuoso and Owen T. Steed, plan to introduce when the Legislature next meets April 16, placing the county on record in support of construction of a new stadium for the Bills in downtown Niagara Falls once the Bills' new lease on Ralph Wilson Stadium runs out.
All three lawmakers are from Niagara Falls.
There was no reaction from the Bills, whose main spokesman, Scott Berchtold, is on vacation. But Niagara Falls Mayor Paul A. Dyster reacted cautiously.
"I would do anything I was asked to do by the Bills to help them stay in Western New York," Dyster said. "I don't want to do anything that would make it look like I was fishing in troubled waters."
The new lease the Bills agreed to on the Orchard Park stadium is for 10 years, but there is a loophole that allows the Bills to move by paying a $29 million penalty in the seventh year of the deal. In all other years, the relocation penalty would be $400 million.
Zona said the theory behind the Bills-to-Niagara Falls idea goes like this:
Niagara Falls Redevelopment controls 142 acres of vacant land in downtown Niagara Falls. Its local head, Roger Trevino, is the former agent of Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, who has been rumored to be interested in being part of an ownership group that might try to purchase the Bills and keep them here after the death of Ralph Wilson Jr., the team's 94-year-old owner.
Kelly fired up the talk of a Niagara Falls stadium by the Bills at a rally before the first preseason game in the Bills' Toronto series in August 2008. Kelly said, "I think in the near future, we have to build a stadium closer [to Toronto], maybe in Niagara Falls."
And in 2010, Kelly said he was involved with "major businesspeople" who would try to keep the team in Western New York after Wilson's death. Wilson had long said he would never sell the team, but his heirs likely would. Niagara Falls Redevelopment is owned by Howard P. Milstein, a billionaire Manhattan developer who is close to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who appointed Milstein chairman of the Thruway Authority. Milstein once owned the New York Islanders hockey team.
And the state is a major player in the Bills lease, committing to pay $54 million toward a $130 million renovation of the Ralph.
Zona said, "To me, it makes sense because it's obvious the Bills want the Canadian, Toronto market. You're cutting off about one-third of the distance by building a stadium in downtown Niagara Falls, near the border."
In 2009, the Niagara County Legislature passed a resolution in support of the "Niagara Bills," as the sponsor, former Legislator Jason J. Cafarella, called them.
However, that resolution emphasized that the first option was to keep the team in Erie County, and Niagara County should make a move only if the Bills looked like they were going to relocate.
On Wednesday, Trevino referred questions to a spokesman who did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Puppy needs to feel safe at meal time
Ryan Summerlin March 19, 2013
TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. — Dear Carla,
I have two German Shepherds, one is a 5-year-old male named Jackson and the other is 1-year-old female named Sydney. We got Jackson when he was about 1 1/2 years old and he has always had fear aggression issues with other dogs. Sydney came to us as a puppy and we've done puppy socialization and basic manners classes. She is a really sensitive dog. Jackson really loves his sister and they play well together. The problem is Jackson resource guards his food and Sydney is so terrified that she hardly eats. We feed them at opposite ends of the kitchen, but she just walks away from the bowl. She is so skinny that I'm really concerned.
A Shepherd Lover
Dear Shepherd Lover,
You need to start feeding Sydney in a place where she is totally relaxed. Since you've already tried distance in the same room, you'll need to move her to another room for meals. Choose a quiet place where you can close the door. For her to stop eating, the anxiety she is experiencing is severe.
Once you have determined the best place to re-establish an eating routine, start by sitting in a chair with her next to you. Begin by hand-feeding her the kibble a little at a time. Do this for a few meals until she seems very comfortable eating from your hand. Next, bring her bowl in the room and set it on the floor next to the chair. Sit down and place handfuls of kibble into the bowl. When she finishes a handful, add another. You are re-introducing her to the bowl in a relaxed environment with no threat from Jackson.
Continue this process until she seems very comfortable eating from the bowl. Gradually phase out the hand-feeding until you can put the food in the bowl and set it on the ground. You may still need to sit near her while she eats, but eventually try to phase that out too.
If she seems reluctant to eat even when in the quiet room, add something higher value to her kibble. Parmesan cheese or small pieces of chicken or hotdogs might be enough to entice her to eat.

Toyota is continuing its quest to
spread hybrid technology throughout
its entire lineup of vehicles and the next stop for the hybrid
train is the all-new Lexus CT 200h. The CT 200h is the production
version of the Lexus
LF-Ch concept which debuted last year. Although the CT 200h is
toned down quite a bit from its concept form, it still shares much of
the design philosophy first seen five months ago.
Unlike its HS
250h sibling, the CT 200h forgoes the largish 2.4-liter inline-4
engine and instead uses a 1.8-liter VVT-i four-cylinder engine. As is the case with Toyota's other hybrid vehicles, the gasoline engine is paired
with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), electric motor, and
a NiMH battery pack.
Toyota isn't discussing official fuel
economy numbers for the CT 200h, but it does say that the vehicle can
travel a measly 1.2 miles and at up to 28 mph on battery power alone.
Assuming that the 1.8-liter VVT-i
engine used the CT 200h is the same 2ZR-FXE motor used
in the Prius, expect to see stellar fuel economy for the vehicle.
The Prius is pegged at 50 mpg combined, but every aspect of the
vehicle from its tires to its body shape to its underbody is designed
to slice through the wind with the utmost efficiency. The CT 200h has
a more conventional shape, but we'd be surprised if it dips below 40
mpg combined using the same powertrain as the Prius.
The Lexus CT 200h is due to debut for
the European market later this year. It is unknown if the vehicle
will find its way to the U.S. -- there may not be enough room in the
Lexus lineup with the HS
250h already occupying the bottom rung.
quote: You are clearly misinformed, I've never seen so many wrongs at one post before.
quote: You are also flat-out wrong because mechanical transmissions, even with gears and cluthes, beat motor/generator combo in power transmission. The PSD still maintains this advantage while adding regen capabilities, so it truly is the best of both worlds.

Napping on Houma bridge leads to jail
Published: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 9:59 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 9:59 a.m.
A driver who apparently went to sleep while waiting at a traffic light was jailed on multiple charges Wednesday night after Terrebonne Parish sheriff's deputies awakened him and removed him from his pickup.
Kneeko J. Domangue, 22, 229 Idlewild Drive, Houma, was sound asleep in his truck in the middle of the Funderburk Bridge when deputies arrived about 10:45 p.m. The bridge crosses Bayou Terrebonne in the Broadmoor neighborhood.
Officers reported having to bang on Domangue's window several times to awaken him. From the cab of the truck, they recovered a pack of Kush synthetic marijuana, rolling papers, cigarillos and a fresh-smoked synthetic-marijuana cigarette.
Domangue was jailed on charges of obstructing a public passage, driving under suspension, possession of a schedule I drug and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was also held on warrants charging him with speeding and careless operation.
