Hold the laugh track!
Modern Family is already a TV classic – but members of its cast are looking to the past and paying homage to iconic shows in a new photo. In this exclusive shot, the ensemble from ABC's Emmy-winning hit comedy takes on the personas (in full hair and makeup) of beloved characters from 60-plus years of classic sitcoms. For fuller-sized images, click through the carousel of photos above.
Who among these was your favorite?
The Honeymooners: In the early '50s, Jackie Gleason's Brooklyn bus driver Ralph Kramden and his sewer-worker neighbor and pal Ed Norton (Art Carney) were the fateful Everymen under the thumbs of their spouses. Though Ralph often threatened to send wife Alice (Audrey Meadows) to the moon, by the fadeout he'd always concede she was "the greatest." Check out Eric Stonestreet (far right, as Ralph), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (as Ed) and their on-screen daughter Aubrey Anderson-Emmons (who also seems to be channeling Pebbles Flintstone).
Bewitched: Beautiful Elizabeth Montgomery cast a spell on viewers as Samantha Stephens in the sprightly 1964-72 ABC sitcom loosely based on the 1942 movie I Married a Witch. Hubby Darren Stephens (actor Dick York, later succeeded by Dick Sargent) was an ad man who forbade his wife to use any magic at home. She never listened, thank goodness. Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen re-create the sexy suburban couple in the photo.
I Love Lucy: Voted the best sitcom of all time last September in a survey conducted by PEOPLE and ABC News, the 1951-57 escapades of crazy redhead Lucy Ricardo and her bandleader husband Ricky – played by real-life couple Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz – continue in popular reruns today. In the photo, Sofia Vergara and Ed O'Neill dress up as the beloved duo, with Rico Rodriguez as the Ricardos' musically-inclined son, Little Ricky.
Gilligan's Island: Never a hit with critics, the 1964-67 adventure about castaways who get lost after a three-hour tour from Honolulu nevertheless lived on, spawning fan clubs, a cartoon adaptation, a musical stage version – and such young admirers as (from left) Ariel Winter, who here poses as the sensible Mary Ann Summers (played on the original series by Dawn Wells); Sarah Hyland, as movie star Ginger Grant (Tina Louise); and Nolan Gould as First Mate Gilligan (Bob Denver).
New episodes of Modern Family return Wednesday.

JAMESTOWN – A melee in Jamestown early Saturday led to the arrest of four people.
Jamestown police said the four arrived at 429 Lincoln St. after 2 a.m. looking to collect on a debt. When they forced their way into the home a fight broke out and spilled into the street.
Police arrived to find several people going at it. One was armed with a baseball bat, another with a shotgun. But no one was seriously injured, police said.
Charged with burglary and conspiracy are: Jonathan R. Ray, 21, and Chad T. Robbins, 21, of Falconer; and Casey R. Billyard, 20, and Kaitlyn N. Billyard, 18, of Jamestown. A fifth suspect fled, police said.
Police said they also charged the Billyards with assault and Ray with criminal possession of a weapon.

A boulder booty is a butt that is typically big, which in most cases it would be considered sexy, but it isn't in this scenario. A boulder booty has no particular shape and it looks as if when god was making this girl's butt he was just slapping on layers of fat like Play-Doh. Most boulder booties consist of cellulite, wrinkles, dimples, and other things that would make it nasty looking. This is where the phrase, "Just because its a big booty doesn't mean its a nice booty" comes from. Women that have a boulder booty ALWAYS have a FUPA.

Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
A Loss, or a Metaphor?
confounding was the decision to let Blanco bat with the bases loaded
and two outs in the sixth.
- Wow, we have a funky lineup tonight. It works, initially, with Theriot leading off the game by singling sharply to the left of the shortstop.
- Then, not so much, as Fukudome grounds into a 4-6-3. I miss it as I'm synching up my mlb.tv.
- Fox singles to left. I miss that, too. Ok, now back on it.
- Wow, Len with a FanGraphs.com reference, saying that Dempster and Vazquez get more swings and misses than anyone in the game. (By percentage, I take it? Wasn't fully explained. In any case, go Len!)
- (researching... Ok, this is what Len is referencing. Indeed, he's correct.)
- Lee with a sharp single in front of McLouth in center, extending the hit streak. Fox to second.
- 3-2, 2 out pitch to Hoffpauir, a big off-speed curve and he swings over and in front of it.
- Dempster strikes McLouth out on a slider, I think, diving inside toward his knees. Nasty pitch. McLouth also lost a bat into the stands, earlier in the AB.
- Kelly Johnson with an easy bouncer to Fontenot at third.
- Jones walks on an outside fastball
- McCann sends a lazy fly to Hoffpauir, easy inning for Dempster. Three hits, no runs.
- Larry Rothschild is away at a funeral, Lester Strode is tonight's pitching coach.
- Big looping curve to Fontenot. It's up in the zone and he singles to center.
- Blanco slices one to left, where Garret Anderson makes a bit of an awkard catch right on his hip.
- Three quick strikes to Dempster, the last one a fastball on the outside corner, looking.
- Dempster's kid will be leaving the hospital soon, reports Len. Here's to good news.
- 3-2 count to Anderson, he flies out to Fox in left. Len cheers for a hop as the ball's in the air, but no, just a plain old catch.
- Kotchman with a soft liner to Fontento
- Len reminds us that we can vote for the All Star game starters. I'm sorry, but there's no way I'm voting for Soriano to overtake Beltran for the third outfield spot.
- Francouer grounds to Theriot, who makes a bad throw to Lee. Lee with the nice pick at first.
- Theriot with another single into center.
- 0-2 to Fukudome, k's swinging at a fastball.
- Fox with a soft fly to Francouer
- 3-1 to Lee, he drives a fastball to deep right center, but McLouth tracks it down.
- Diory Hernandez (who!?!?) the shortstop hitting .192 with a leadoff walk. Vazquez with a perfect bunt up first to advance him.
- Cubs have five hits, no runs. McLouth gets the Braves' first hit, singling softly to center, and it scores Hernandez. 0-1 Braves
- and McLouth gets a nice jump, steals second. A high breaking pitch, throw is a bit to the right side of the bag. Theriot catches it way in front of the bag. 31st consecutive successful steal for McLouth.
- and now Johnson walks. Soto out to talk with Dempster.
- Full count to Chipper.
- Hit and run, Chipper K's and Soto nails the previously unnailable McLouth at third. Soto suddenly 7 for his last 11 in stolen base attempts. Nice way to get out of a big jam.
- Hoffpauir grounds to Johnson
- Soto K's swinging
- Fontenot with a bouncer back up the middle, Hernandez comes over to get it and makes a nice running throw.
- Curve in the dirt, McCann tries to check his swing, but on appeal it's strike three.
- Anderson lines a double just out of Hoffpauir's reach, bouncing up against the right-field wall.
- Kotchman chops back to Dempster, who catches Anderson off of second. Dempster runs right at him, driving him back to second. Flips to Theriot, who chases him toward third, before flipping to Fontenot for the out. Kotchman holds at first. Nice play.
- Francouer lines one just out of Fukudome's left, is able to stretch it into a double. Runners at 2 and 3, 2 outs for Hernandez. Len and Bob note that Dempster is taking a lot of time, laboring in the Atlanta heat.
- Fastball just off the corner, full count to Hernandez. Comes back with a nice slider for called strike three.
- Interesting. LouPa wanted to give Theriot a night off, but with Reed Johnson ailing, he wound up needing to put Fox in left, instead of third. The plan had been to have Fox, Blacno and Fontenot at 3rd, Short and 2nd. But no go.
- Blanco singles into left-center.
- Dempster pops a bunt foul, McCann runs for it, slides, and crashes head and knees first into the padding of the wall. Shaken up, seems to be ok. Eventually, Dempster gets down the bunt back to Vazquez.
- Theriot cues one out to Johnson at second, Blanco to third.
- 1-2 to Fukudome, he watches a fastball sail past that, someone, is called a ball. phew.
- 3-2 curve to Fukudome, he flies out to Francouer. We've had a few chances to get to Vazquez, and turned up nothing.
- Vaquez K's swinging at a slider out of the zone.
- McLouth grounds back to Dempster.
- 3-0 to Johnson, fastball over for the strike. Eventually loses him to the walk.
- Chipper with a solid liner to right-center, Fukudome gets over, but Jones makes it in to second. Johnson holds at third. two outs for McCann. Dempster better be pitching around him to get to Anderson...
- A lot of sliders later, full count, and Dempster gets a slider up. McCann lines it hard to Lee, who makes the catch. Phew.
- Fox flies toward the left field line, Anderson gets it.
- Full count to Lee. Eventually rolls out to short.
- Hoffpauir bounces one back up the middle, just to the right of Johnson. (Check that, Johnson take out with leg cramps, Martin Prado in.)
- and Cox and a trainer are coming out to check with Vazquez. BJB had been mentioning that Vazques was looking a bit tired this inning, and he does look kind of spent right now. Bullpen starts warming up.
- Soto singles up the middle as well, this time just left of the bag. 8 hits, all singles for the cubs. Runners at 1 and 2, 2 outs.
- 3-0 count to Fontenot. Slider for a strike, walks on the next pitch. Loaded for Blanco.
- We learn Bradley is 3-18, Soriano 2-9 against Vazquez. Perhaps why Blanco gets to hit. I dunno, I think it would be worth bringing someone in for this AB...
- ball 1 to Blanco. Fastball down the middle for a strike. Fastball outside, 2-1. Blanco flies the next one to straight-away center, inning over. 8 LOB through 6.
- Ripping off the Sausage Race, in Atlanta they have the Tool Race. There are just too many possible jokes here.
- And as long as we're pointing things out for others to joke about, the Drill wins, but wow, the drill bit is.... limp.
- Anderson singles past Theriot, diving to his right.
- Kotchman weakly singles to second, Blanco gets the force to Theriot, but too slowly hit to get Kotchman at first.
- Francouer reaches for a slider and just does feather it over Dempster's head, into center for a single.
- Hernandez rolls right to Theriot, who starts a nice 6-4-3.
- Dempster has thrown 105 pitches, and Miles was coming out to pinch hit. But Dempster seems to have talked his way into staying in, so down 1-0 in the 7th, Dempster leads off the inning.
- Six pitches later, called strike three.
- Theriot with another one back up the middle, this time Prado gets to it, makes the out.
- Fukudome walks.
- Full count to Fox, he chops one into the left-side hole. Hernandez gets to it, makes a strong throw, but Fox just does beat the throw at first. (Or does he?)
- That chases Vazquez after 116 pitches, Peter Moylan in.
- Lee with a lazy fly out to Francouer. 10 stranded in the game.
- Gregor Blanco pinch-hits for Moylan. 3-0 count, Dempster comes back for called strike three on a high curve. Thanks for the help, ump.
- McLouth lines a fastball up over the plate into right, one-hopping the wall for a double.
- Prado singles, McLouth to third. LouPa comes out to check on Dempster, and leaves him in. LouPa really trying to save the bullpen tonight, it seems.
- Chipper drives one to the warning track in center, for an easy sacrifice fly. 0-2 Braves. Prado advances from first to second. Marshall in to face McCann. 118 pitches, 8 hits, 4 walks, 6 K and 2 ER for Marshall.
- McCann pulls one to Blanco's left, he makes a nice stop, throws him out.
- Mike Gonzalez in to pitch for Moylan.
- Hoffpauir with a very, very high fly ball to center. Too high to be a home run.< /Major League>
- Soto wiffs at a slider, I think, that dips across the outside corner.
- Fontenot grounds to Prado's left at second, makes the play.
- Hart in to pitch.
- Garret Anderson with a soft grounder to Fontenot. Easy out.
- Kotchman falls to his knees, trying to avoid a pitch near his feet. Kind of funny. Walks on a slider that misses the outside corner.
- Francouer hits a soft fly into shallow right, and Hoffpauir makes a nice belly-flop dive for the catch.
- And after turning the wrong way, Hoffpauir catches a drive from Hernandez at the warning track.
- Diaz in to play left, and Rafael Soriano in for Gonzalez. Double switch.
- Blanco swings and falls to a knee, but manages to single into left field.
- Bradley hits for Hart, K's swinging at a pitch in the dirt.
- Theriot also K's swinging at a tough slider.
- Blanco takes second uncontested. 3-0 to Fukudome. Walks. Tying runs on base for Jake Fox, two outs.
- Fastball strike 1 to Fox.
- A bit of a hanging slider, Fox is out in front of it, strike 2.
- Fastball on the low and outside corner, perfect pitch, called strike 3. 12 stranded for the night.
- Settling in.

- If I stop recapping, the terrorists win.

- Crap.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
i really hate lou pinella. was anyone shocked that dempster couldn't get out of the 7th? why didn't he bring in marshall to face chipper? chipper is a weaker hitter from the right side followed by 2 lefties. and he lets dempster hit for himself to lead off the 7th. genius. and jake fox batting 3rd? oh and why is soriano and bradley sitting on the same day? i get it if guys need rest but Jesus!
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
No HR's, 0-6 with RISP and no extra base hits. Good combination for a shutout. We did, however, hand McLouth his first CS of the year, so it wasn't a total waste.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Well maybe if Soriano or Bradley were playing or Lee was batting 3rd things would have been different
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
We would have been 0-4 with RISP?
An aside, you guys and my brother talked me into using this Firefox... it's a real piece of shit.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
1. Would we have been 0-4 with RISP with Soriano or Bradley in the lineup? Perhaps not.
2. Firefox is far better than Internet Explorer. But I'm on Mac so I use safari. you can use it for PC but i don't know how well it translates.
oh and it wasn't me who talked you into it.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
The Bullpen really needed a rest with all the work it had gotten recently. So in a 1 run game I can see why he would try to maximize Dempster's outing. Anyways it was going to be Miles PH'ing for him anyway. Do you think it was likely that he would get a hit? The most aggresious non call to the bench was the Cubs previous at bat not sending Bradley out there. Vazquez was having control issues that whole inning and Blanco is not a patient hitter, while Bradley is the most likely person on the draw a walk. My guess is that Vazquez would be hestiant to go 1-0 to him that the first pitch would be a fastball in the zone, which Bradley could have been able to turn into a 2-run double at the least.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
I don't care much either. Offense should have scored some runs.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Mmmm Bunny Pancake!
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Totally off topic, but did anyone catch the CWS game last night? It was a lot more exciting than watching the Cubs game, that's for sure. Anyway, LeMahieu came up huge with a game-tying double in the 9th (and had a HR in the 7th as well). LSU went on to win in the 11th. I don't if he's going to be a good pro or not, but he sure is fun to watch as a college player.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Yeah, the double in the bottom of the 9th was certainly a money play. Maybe after they're done he can come to Chicago and give the Cubs some pointers on hitting with RISP.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
In the Sun Times, Ramirez says he "couldn't be happier" where he is and that he hasn't had any setbacks. But the Tribune quotes him as saying he is going to be in pain throughout the rest of the season. Having some trouble reconciling those...
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Ramirez... team masochist?
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
It's no secret he likes getting his nuts squeezed.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Dude read between the lines. There is a expected timeline of recovery. and at a certain stage, he can start to play baseball again. he's closer to that than he expected (or on the exact pace). He never claimed that he will be pain free. He is just saying that he's getting closer to being able to play baseball

Harold Reynolds, graduate from the Dusty Baker School of Hitting...
Big power hitters swing and miss and strikeout. Or they hit home runs and walk. And at the end of the year their OBP is always going to be higher than most of the other guys on the team because they clog the bases.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Nice how he uses Dave Kingman of the .302 career OBP as an example of how guys who hit home runs have always been walked a lot. Kingman's career high in walks was 62, and he finished in the top 10 in walks once. Theriot, for reference, walked 73 times last year.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Now that's a dude that I sprinted home from school to watch. His homers were epic. I think at least two landed in the lake.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
speaking of King Kongesque homers - you guys remember this one?
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
That was a really long game. Really long. I moved down to right behind the 3rd base dugout and hit my knees on the dugout as I jumped up. When Hill hit that ball I swore repeatedly, "Holy Shit... Holy Shit... HOLY SHIT! That was the hardest hit... HOLY FUCKING SHIT! THE DUDE ON THE ROOF HAS THE BALL! HE HIT THE BALL ONTO THE FUCKING ROOF! I am pretty sure that has never happened before!"
If that is the greatest play I ever witness in person then I will die a happy man. If there is a better play I personally witness then that will be simply epic.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
in a dusty-centric universe he's the only person to ever use the phrase "clog the bases"...which was said before and after dusty...even if it's out of vogue since dusty last updated his album collection.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
well it probably won't make you happy, but it's fallen out of use in the internet age...hell, it was out of use in most of the early 90s, too.
it's a thrown around phrase from players and sportswriters...
there's a blurb about sportswriter use of it...i could look around old articles to try to find something, but anything pre-late90s is really hard to find on the innerwebs.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
On a side note, Jay Jackson came through with another fantastic outing last night (okay, that's overstating it, I'd like to see him go longer more consistently). An interesting debate I was having with someone is how to view Jackson's "potential". That is, is he a potential "TOR" (say, a "2"), or is he more of a mid-rotation guy. To be honest, I've never found it all that interesting to draw that fine delineation (as I often use "2/3" as a numerical projection), but the comment had me thinking and I was curious what people thought about Jackson's potential as of now. Stuff wise, if his change keeps progressing, I think he's got that "TOR" #2 caliber stuff. Performance wise, it looks that way as well, provided he continues to refine his command.
Anyhow, Jackson is certainly the most exciting guy in our system right now, IMO, and he's making the gap between Vitters and the rest very close (or maybe it should now be Vitters/Jackson, and maybe even Cashner, and the rest - Cashner had another solid outing today, 4 ip, 1 h, 4 K's).
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
He's a potential #2 for Toronto? Top of Rotation? Tough or Righteous? Tap Out Redeemer?
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Top of Rotation.
Wish the rains had held out a little longer for Daytona today. Cashner hadn't thrown many pitches and should have gone at least 5 (for only the 2nd time this season).
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
If you're wishcasting he's Harden or Oswalt type. More realistic at this point I'd say he's a #3.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
I don't expect Jackson to be anywhere near Harden or Oswalt when both were at the top of their game. When healthy, Harden was one of the most dominant arms out there, in the elite level. From 2001-2006, Oswalt was one of the top pitchers in the game. In Harden's case, health has always been an issue, and in Oswalt's case, I think father time has caught up a bit. Short of it is, I'm not expecting Jackson to be a "legit 1", as there are only about 10-15 of those guys in any given season.
Whatever the delineation between a "2" and a "3" is, I don't claim to know how people draw that fine line(as I noted in the post). That said, the idea of Jackson being a potential top of the rotation guy versus a middle of the rotation guy, well, I'd make the argument that he is in the former. Again, all we're discussing is potential, but with 2 plus pitches and the makings of a solid 3rd pitch, no serious mechanical issues that have been noted, a healthy K rate in AA and an improving BB rate, I don't see why he wouldn't be considered for that.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Well, you just don't know what wishcasting means. Athletic, comparatively short right handed pitcher with a very good fastball. Oswalt, for instance, didn't really take off until he hit AA age 22. Jackson isn't doing quite as well, but he's a little younger. He probably doesn't have the same fastball that Oswalt discovered that year, but it still seems to be a pretty good pitch.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
I'm wishcasting that the epic fart I just ripped smells like roses, since we're wishcasting ridiculous things.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
what are the reports on his change? I haven't had a chance to follow daytona all that closely, partly because all the rainouts made it hard to remember who was pitching when.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
I love how some of you guys here at TCR keep track of the Cubs' minor league players and their development. It gives me a heads up on a lot of these players that I am otherwise too lazy to find out about myself.
Sandberg calls out Sosa
I don't think this is 3/44 yet. If so, eat a dick...isn't that the official The Joe 3/44 defense?
Re: Sandberg calls out Sosa
Wouldn't "Sandberg Maintains Ostrich like Pose" be a more appropriate title for that link?
Re: Sandberg calls out Sosa
Speaking of eating dick..
"We have some other players like [Rafael] Palmeiro coming up soon "
Cindy Sandberg says "Hi"
Re: Sandberg calls out Sosa
Oooooo, that hurts.
Re: Sandberg calls out Sosa
from Sandberg's wikipedia page:
"In 1990, Sandberg led the National League in home runs–a rarity for a second baseman–with 40. Sandberg was only the third second baseman to hit 40 home runs... Sandberg, Brady Anderson and Barry Bonds are the only players to have both a 40-homer (1990) and 50-steal (1985) season during their careers."
Not very good company to share that record with.
Re: Sandberg calls out Sosa
Sandberg, however did it in 1990, whereas Bonds ('93) and Anderson ('96) did it as baseball had firmly entrenching itself in the steroid era.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Maybe this has been covered, but Peoria has six players, including three starters, on the East squad in the Midwest League all-star game tonight.
Starters are Harrison, Vitters and Burke. Subs are Ridling, Carpenter and Buchter.
Ridling won the HR derby yesterday.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Per the Cubs itself, Brett Jackson has signed.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
How long until he is introduced at Wrigley Field as a "superstar 5 tool sure fire can't miss prospect", who then hits .260 and suffers a major injury?
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Speaking of Brett's, Brett Hull made the NHL Hall of Fame. Presumably PED free. Although reports in the Toronto press claim Cindy Sandberg was spotted outside eating a dick.

Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
since Z is pitching but not the DH...doesn't that leave our bench one player short?
answer. Aaron Miles
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Gameday had Zumaya hitting 103 mph on his fastball. A majority of his pitches were at 100+. Unbelievable. Even more unbelievable, he throws an 85 mph change-up over the heart of the plate to Hoffpauir, who (after missing on the fastballs) clobbers it into the right field bleachers for a 2-run HR.
Thank you, Micah Hoffpauir.
Thank you, Joel Zumaya.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
brenley had high praise for that changeup. best pitch he's ever seen, supposedly.

Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
It looks like the Pedro talk is back on:
Given the crap that is on our pen besides Guzman and Good Marmol if he would be a welcome addition.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
I believe Pedro said somewhere that he's coming back to start. He doesn't want to be a reliever. I went looking for that quote, but I couldn't seem to find it anywhere.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
The thing that really sucks is now I can't even wish we still had Woody.
Ah well -- Gregg did have 9 straigt outings without giving up a run. Last time was....when he served up a 2 run bomb to blow a win for Wells.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
bwhahah...vlad cut his dreds today because he's been having trouble fitting his hair into his helmet.
get a new helmet that's bigger with 10 lbs. less pine tar on it...or cut your hair...hmmm....
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Blah blah blah, Kevin Gregg sucks... Kevin Gregg blows... blah blah blah...
After you guys settle down I hope you'll realize blown saves happen. If Gregg makes a habit of it then we can talk.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Well... Gregg has 11 saves and 3 blown saves. His ERA is 4.18 and his WHIP is 1.42. I am not excited about his place as the closer.
Guess I am feeling chatty.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Hendry is fucking idiot. Can't sign Wood, fine. Make Marmol the closer. If he can't hack it, trade later.
i have this dream that through some bizarre set of circumstances i inherit the cubs tomorrow.
first thing i do is go and fire lou pinella at home plate and pull Brenly out of the booth to manage the rest of the season.
then i fire Hendry by twitter.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
I mean this in all seriousness - I've had that dream that you're managing the Cubs once or twice, too. Probably a sign I spend too much time here.
In my dream you go like 2-20 because Chadball failed miserably. They fired you and hired Al. I usually wake up right around the time I'm putting the noose around my neck.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
I just woke up from a dream where the Cubs traded Z for Moyer and Chan Ho. So whichever one of you clowns did that is fired.

Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
Did you watch the game, Chad? Were you watching the CSN feed?
Just before that final at-bat Bob Brenly said that so many fly balls have just died in CF that he should just throw one down the middle. I shit you not.
Re: Game 66 Recap: Cubs 0, Braves 2
In fairness to BB, he said "throw a high fastball out over the plate" not a hanging breaking ball belt high. But, yeah, that was kind of weird how that happened.
Recent comments
Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
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.

Mount Pleasant resident Tony Page, and brother of Mount Pleasant Mayor Linda Page, passed away Tuesday morning from what is believed to be a heart attack.
According to his daughter Courtney, a partner with him in the popular eatery Okra Grill, the restaurant will be closed today.
Thank you to everyone that has sent a prayer or shared a beautiful memory about our father, she said on the restaurant Facebook page.
The business was closed for several days but reopened this morning.
Page died on March 25. He was born in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. in 1956. He is survived by his wife Kelsie Kelly Howland Page and three children, Courtney Faucette and her husband Shane, Chase Page and Ashleigh Page, stepchildren William, Charlotte and Amelia Cochran, as well as his ex-wife Virginia Zubriski and grandchildren Dominick Delia and Trevor Faucette. Also surviving are his brother Mike Page and wife Crystal, sister Linda Page, and their children; aunt, Muriel Metts; uncle, Lewis Page, and dear friend Sallie Pritchard.

Ernest Williams loved people, and he loved to cut their hair.
He made sure that love lived on through his family and the business he built from scratch in the early 1990s.
Williams Barber Shop, on Redbank Road not far from the entrance to the Naval Weapons Station, still serves a largely military customer base with its eight-chair shop.
The only difference, a huge one to be sure, is Willie isnt there anymore to share his friendly smile and abundant stories.
Itll never be the same for me, said his granddaughter, Lauren Crews, who manages the shop now. But we want to make sure everything stays the same in here for our customers.
Since Williams death in April, Crews, along with her mother and Williams daughter, Kim Epps, have made sure there is no disruption in the business so many Goose Creek residents have come to depend on the past two-plus decades.
Epps oversees the shop, which is owned by her mother and Willies wife of 52 years, Betty.
Some people said he was crazy to open a shop here, Epps said. But he did it. He didnt know the first thing about opening his own shop, but he and some close friends got the shop up and running, and its still going.
In fact, business is thriving. On a recent mid-morning visit, all eight chairs were occupied, with a half-dozen or more customers ranging in age from retirees to elementary-school age kids waiting their turn.
The shop is a no-frills, old-fashioned one that most folks of a certain age would recognize as the kind of barber shop their father would have taken them to for their first haircut.
The left wall is lined with the eight chairs and work stations, typical of most barber shops.
What makes Williams shop unique is the vast array of military and law enforcement memorabilia lining the top of the walls around the shop. Hats from naval ships of all types are represented, with plaques to commemorate service in various capacities across all branches of service displayed alongside.
Williams other love was cars. His daughter said he collected at least seven or eight Corvettes over the years, and the shop still has a curio cabinet full of NASCAR and other racing memorabilia. His favorite drivers, Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Jr., are prominent parts of that collection.
While the shop is outwardly the same, Willies loss is keenly felt by his family, his longtime employees and his loyal customers.
Crews remembered something her grandfather would say her from time to time. It was about the only time she can remember him being wrong.
He always said, When Im pushing up daisies, no one will ask about me, she said with a smile. But he was definitely wrong about that. Every day somebody asks about him. He touched a lot of lives.
Crews, who manages the shop, has been a part of her grandfathers business since she was a little girl. Williams taught her how to cut hair when she was old enough, and shes been doing it ever since.
I would always ask him a lot of questions (about the business), she said. He told me I was nosy, that I should have been an attorney.
Williams, who was born in Loris, made his way to the Lowcountry via jobs at Fort Jackson outside Columbia, where he cut hair for the Army, before coming to Charleston in 1968 to do the same at the Air Force base. He worked there until 1978, when he went to the Navy base and worked there until it closed in 1993.
Thats when he opened the shop on Redbank Road, which started with four chairs and expanded to eight not longer after, Epps said.
Epps said she gradually took over more responsibility for running the shop when it became apparent last year that her father, who had lung cancer, couldnt continue as a day-to-day owner/operator.
He hadnt been feeling all that well for a while, she said. He had to cut back last year, and I took over paying the bills and the payroll.
Williams health took a bad turn when he was injured in a fall two days after Christmas. Post-surgical complications resulted in an extended hospital stay, which he never fully recovered from, Epps said. He died April 14 at the age of 75 in hospice care.
Keeping the business going is a way for Epps and Crews to keep Williams legacy alive.
Everything in (this shop) hes touched at some point, Crews said. It gives me a sense of peace being here. He would be proud.

Stetson continues to move forward, which has been the team's motto since head coach Mark Wilson began last fall. Friday the team sent out more boats at a single regatta than in recent years and all were competitive.
Wilson and assistant coach James Dietz II felt really good about lineing up with some of the east coast's best programs and performing well.
"Having the Women's Novice 8 place a close second to Simmons was really great," Wilson said. "I do not think the team even realized that they were racing other teams third Varsity boats and this group is 7/8ths walk-ons, three of whom only started rowing last month. The Men's Novice 8 also did really well against a very solid Temple and Jacksonville team.
"Our guys are small but they fight large," Dietz said. "These guys have a lot to learn but they are hungry for learning and developing and that makes me want to help them even more."
The Women's Varsity 8 came off the line with a new line-up, a new stoke pair and were in the mix to the 500m mark when an oar popped out and the race was lost.
"Bad things happen, but that was really unfortunate," Wilson said.
Three of the four in the Women's Varsity 4 came out of the 8 and jumped into the next race with a will to win and they raced hard. With a very slight lead at the 1000m mark over Temple and Jacksonville, they lost a little power in the third 500m and eventually placed second, still a great accomplishment. Wilson said a win over Jacksonville was a huge motivational boost that will help them move forward to next week.
"Overall it was a very nice day on the water of Lake Beresford with great guests all pitching in to make the day a great success," Wilson said. "A special congratulations to Temple for winning 12 of the 13 races today.
"Stetson Rowing is on the way and we are proud to wear the Hatter Green!!"
Stetson will compete again March 23 on Lake Beresford.

Think of the wrestling season as a resume. Wrestlers and coaches are working hard, winning, sweating, bleeding, overcoming injuries and, yes, losing in dual meets and tournaments to build those resumes so they're good enough and in prime position for the postseason.
Now, that job they've gotten is ahead of them.
They start working in the postseason in the District 6 Tournament this weekend. Some have an eye toward bigger and better things. For others, it will be the end of the season and their careers. For all, it's another chance to build that resume.
"I know it's cliche, but it's the reason for the season," Claysburg-Kimmel coach Dave Marko said. "You try to tell your guys all you did up to this point was to get your name in a bracket. It doesn't matter where it is. Just put your name in a bracket because once you get to this weekend, all bets are off.
"I've seen guys who are 12th seeds and make the district finals, and I've seen guys who are No. 1 seeds come in and wonder what happened Friday night."
The tournament begins at 10:30 a.m. Friday at the Altoona Fieldhouse with the pigtail round. The second round will follow at 11:30 a.m., and the quarterfinals are set for 6 p.m. Three rounds of consolations will be wrestled the first day.
Wrestling resumes at 10:30 a.m. Saturday with the fourth round consolations. The semifinals are slated for noon. The third and fifth-place finals are set for 5:30 p.m., and, after a short District 6 Hall of Fame and coaching recognition ceremony, the championship finals will take place at about 6:45.
Only the top four wrestlers at each weight qualify for the regional tournament.
Unlike in previous years, when there were four or five area district champions returning, there's only one from the Mirror coverage area back in Moshannon Valley's James Stodart (24-2). Stodart will be looking to make history this weekend as no Mo Valley wrestler has won two titles since Craig Waite won in 1988 and 1990.
The last Black Knight to win back-to-back titles was Ray Albright in 1984 and 1985.
"If he wrestles like he has been all year, I think he has a good chance to win," Mo Valley coach Justin Fye said. "He's been working hard. His offense is getting better. He's getting better on bottom, and he's getting better on top. I think if he keeps putting it together every match, I think he has a good chance of winning it."
Who Stodart will face came into question Wednesday when Tyrone's second-seeded D.J. Wunder (21-4), who was given medical clearance to wrestle on Tuesday, was declared academicaly ineligible. Penns Valley's third-seeded Maverick Swartz (26-4) will move into the No. 2 slot.
And if any of Stodart's teammates, most notably second-seeded returning runner-up Jake Ludwig, join him as a champion, it will be the first time the Black Knights have had multiple champs since having three in 1989. Ludwig (23-3), however, is the third seed, and lost earlier in the season to West Branch's now banged-up second-seeded Buzzy Maines (29-2). Westmont Hilltop's Don Shovestull (23-5) is the top seed. Juniata's Pat Fitzgerald (24-7) is the fourth seed.
"Those top four guys are all pretty even at 220," Fye said. "We're comfortable where we're at, and he'll just go out and wrestle the best he can."
The most decorated area wrestler in the tournament is C-K 113-pounder Josh Brown, who is looking for his first district title after two second-place finishes. Should the seeds hold true, the second-seeded Brown (21-5) will get a rematch with Ligonier Valley's Justin Patrick (27-2), the top seed who beat the Bulldog in overtime, 8-6, in the 106-pound finals last season.
"That's a deep weight, and there are a lot of good kids there," Marko said. "We have to make sure we come in healthy and ready to go."
Cambria Heights 132-pounder Cory Thomas (13-4) is another returning runner-up, but he heads into the tournament as a No. 9 seed, and he could face West Branch's top-seeded J.P. Hayles (28-5) in the quarterfinals.
"I sort of like to come in as an underdog like Thomas," Eckenrode said. "His record is kind of messed up just from the year he had. He's probably going to have to wrestle No. 1, and that's a hard spot to put No. 1 because Thomas is definitely better than his seed."
Thomas' teammate, Aaron Gill, joins Stodart as the only area top seeds. Gill (25-3) has certainly made a name for himself this season, and he'll be aiming to add to his resume.
"I was really pleased with Gill's seed," Eckenrode said. "Gill has so much potential, and he doesn't use it all. We'll see what he does with it."
Tyrone 120-pounder Jason Schopp (22-6) and Huntingdon freshman 106-pounder Collin Glorioso (28-3) - both No. 2 seeds - will also be looking to reach the finals. Ligonier Valley's Josh Patrick (20-0), a two-time champ, is the top seed at 120, and Forest Hills' Triston Law (23-3) is the top seed at 106.
"He's been wrestling really well all year," Huntingdon coach Jon Mykut said of Glorioso. "He's been working hard in the practice room, so I like his chances. There's good kids all over the place, so I'm sure he'll be tested. I think he's ready to go."
Blairsville 152-pounder Andrew Doak (29-1) and 182-pounder Scott Thompson (8-0) are the other returning champions. They will certainly help the Bobcats score team points.
The team race appears to be wide open. West Branch won the District 6 Duals, but the Warriors, who have two top seeds in Hayles and 170-pounder Lucas Kristofits, are better in dual meets than tournaments. They will, however, be a favorite, along with defending champ Mount Union, Huntingdon, Penns Valley and possibly Blairsville.
"Obviously, you want to score as many points as a team that you can," Mykut said, "but the bottom line is to get as many kids through to regionals and states as possible. So, it turns into an individual game."

Boone Hall fields
Half-mile north of Long Point Road on Highway 17
Boone Hall Plantation ushered in the 2014 Lowcountry Strawberry Festival Thursday with a ceremonial ribbon cutting and a proclamation from S.C. Governor Nikki Haley.
In her proclamation, Haley declared April 10-13 Lowcountry Strawberry Festival Days throughout the state to encourage all South Carolinians to recognize the importance of this and other local festivals and celebrations to our unique quality of life.
A framed version of the proclamation was presented to Boone Hall owner Willie McRae before he and Mount Pleasant Mayor Linda Page cut the ribbon, opening the four-day event. Wandos steel drum band provided the ceremonys music.
Started in 1997, the Strawberry Festival is a local staple in welcoming springtime to the Lowcountry. Since teaming up with Certified S.C. Grown and the S.C. Department of Agriculture, the festival has blossomed into a leader in celebrating and promoting local agriculture in South Carolina.
This is one of the highlights of the spring, S.C. Department of Agriculture Commissioner Hugh Weathers said. Its just a sign that spring is here. With the Certified S.C. Grown logo, when youve got a place of the caliber of Boone Hall as your partner, you really are proud of what youre doing. To work with Boone Hall is really a privilege.
This year, the festival features more than 30 attractions including live music, 21 festival thrill rides, pig races, pie eating contests, a petting zoo, the Little Miss Berry Princess contest and a strawberry recipe contest. The S.C. Department of Agriculture will host an interactive gardening exhibit centered on local farming and U-pick fields will open daily at 9 a.m.
For Governor Haley to recognize Boone Hall is quite an honor, said Boone Halls Rick Benthall. This strawberry festival has really grown. The festival has always been and will be always be about strawberries and agriculture and fun on the farm. Its just a great family event. Its truly strawberry fields forever.

CHESTER - Stretching out his legs doesn't seem to bother Romance Argentino. On Nov. 30 of this year, the 3-year-old gelding led at every call, while establishing a track record of 3:51.81 for the 2 1/8-mile distance at Mountaineer Casino Racetrack & Resort.
Today, Romance Argentino will go a furlong further. He's the 9-5 morning line favorite in a 2 -mile marathon that anchors the closing card for Mountaineer's 2012 live racing season.
He'll be ridden by Christian P. Pilares, who won with four of his eight mounts at Mountaineer this past Tuesday. Eduardo Caramori owns and trains the gelding.

Romance Argentino set a track record for 2 1/8 miles at Mountaineer on Nov. 30, and is the favorite in today's 2 1/4-mile marathon. (Photo courtesy Coady Photography)
Overall, Romance Argentino has made 12 career starts, from which he has gained six victories. His sire, Bluegrass Cat, finished second in the 2006 edition of the Kentucky Derby. Romance Argentino's dam, Alice Belle, is a multiple stakes-winning daughter of Street Cry, who also sired the 2007 Kentucky Derby winner, Street Sense.
Romance Argentino did not race at age two. He broke his maiden at second asking at Tampa Bay Downs in late March of this year.
"He had some physical problems early on," Caramori said, "and he needed time to mature. But he's become a nice surprise for me. You don't see many 3-year-old marathon runners. Usually horses have to be at least four or five before they go such distances."
At Beulah Park on Nov. 6, Romance Argentino was a 10 -length winner at the two-mile distance. His November 30 score was achieved by a comfortable 4 lengths. Starter allowance company suits Romance Argentino, and Friday's marathon at Mountaineer carries a purse of $30,000.
Romance Argentino will face nine challengers. Among them is the 6-year-old gelding Getta Rhythm, who is the prevailing Mountaineer record-holder for 2 miles, having clocked a time of 4:03.16 for the distance back on Sept. 3. Terry D, Houghton was Getta Rhythm's jockey for that event, and will ride him again on Friday.
The field further includes Spiritwood, a 9-year-old gelding who will be making his 109th career start. He has gained 14 wins and 31 placings from those efforts, and was second to Romance Argentino on November 30. The third-place finisher in that race, Joey's Best, will also go postward on Friday. Betty Jo Williams and Kirk Johnson will ride Spiritwood and Joey's Best, respectively.
Eighteen furlongs is the longest distance that has ever been run at Mountaineer. But there have been lengthier events at other tracks. Back on Nov. 2, 1974, a 4-year-old gelding named Victory Tour won a 4 1/8-mile race at Finger Lakes in western New York.
The distance that Victory Tour went was a rather astonishing 33 furlongs (a furlong is one-eighth of a mile). The race required more than four complete circuits of the Finger Lakes one-mile oval. To help promote the race, a quartet of Playboy bunnies was brought in from Rochester to stand on a platform adjacent to the finish line. Each time the field completed a circuit of the oval, one of the bunnies would climb down from the platform.
Go further back and one will find that marathon races were not that unusual. Kelso, one of the great racehorses of the 20th century, won five consecutive runnings of the Jockey Club Gold Cup from 1960 through 1964.
During each of those years, the Jockey Club Gold Cup was a two-mile event. Kelso win in 1964 (achieved when he was age seven) was accomplished in a track-record time of 3:19.20, which remains, today, the standard at Aqueduct for that distance.
One of the more prominent marathon runners in Mountaineer history is Sovereign M.D., a gelding who, at the age of seven, set track records of 3:27.66 for two miles and 3.28.40 for 2 1/16 miles in December of 2000. Sovereign M.D. was trained by Ramon Schiano-DiCola and was ridden in both those efforts by Dana Whitney.
Post time for today's first race will be 7 p.m. The marathon will be the eighth race on the nine-race card.

With a four-run lead, 7,887 people in the stands, many more watching on national television and the sun glaring down on Blair County Ballpark, things couldn't have been much better for the Altoona Curve Sunday afternoon.
Harrisburg decided to slightly spoil the moment however, scoring five runs over the fifth and sixth innings en route to a 6-4 victory that dropped Altoona's record to 3-1.
"We don't want to get too high or too low on any particular occasion," Altoona Curve manager Matt Walbeck said. "It's just a matter of going out and playing the game the right way and executing each play."

Harrisburg Senators pitcher Stephen Strasburg delivers a pitch at Blair County Ballpark on Sunday.
Treating Sunday's game as just another contest seemed just about impossible.
Stephen Strasburg, the No. 1 pitching prospect in all of baseball, left Altoona with a victory in his first professional outing, but he had to work for it.
After recording the first two outs, Strasburg allowed a shot to deep right center by Alex Presley that smashed off the bottom of the wall for a double. Moments later, Miles Durham drove Presley in with an RBI single.
Fact Box
Next stop
Tonight: Richmond at Altoona, 6:30 p.m.
Pitchers: Squirrels LHP Craig Clark (0-0) vs. Curve LHP Justin Wilson (0-0)
Record: 3-1
Covering the bases: B4
"We came out ready to go," Walbeck said. "Presley had a big double to the gap, and then Durham had a big two-out RBI, and that was big. Guys approached everything pretty solid."
Early in the game, it was Altoona's starter, Rudy Owens, who appeared ready for the spotlight. Owens allowed just one base runner through four innings and struck out four.
He also helped cap off a three-run fourth for the Curve with an RBI single up the middle.
Strasburg walked Kris Watts to begin the inning and looked as though he might get Josh Harrison to ground into a double play, but Senators second baseman Michael Martinez dropped the ball, and both runners scored when Jose De Los Santos singled and the throw home got away from the catcher.
"We were just trying to get after him early," Presley said regarding Strasburg. "We were trying to hit his fastball, because his secondary stuff is so good. You don't want to get behind in the count, because he can really put you away."
Strasburg got ahead of plenty of hitters, throwing 55 strikes to just 27 balls in his 82-pitch effort while striking out eight.
The 6-foot-4 right-hander also played a role in Owens' demise. With Jhonatan Solano on second and one run already in, Strasburg doubled to deep right and later scored on a Martinez single. Strasburg never had a collegiate at bat while playing for Tony Gwynn at San Diego State.
"[Gwynn] never gave me an opportunity to bat," Strasburg said. "I'm sure he's eating his words now."
Though Strasburg exited after the fifth inning, the Curve managed nearly nothing off Harrisburg's bullpen with just two base runners the rest of the way.
Bill Rhinehart drove in a pair of runs off Curve reliever Dustin Molleken to put Harrisburg ahead for good and give Strasburg a victory in his first game.
Altoona will begin a three-game series at Blair County Ballpark with the Richmond Flying Squirrels today.
"We had our chance to sweep today," Walbeck said. "Unfortunately we didn't, but if you look back on the series, we played good baseball. We ran the bases hard, our bullpen did a good job, and we played good defense.
"I'm happy with what we've done so far, and I see us continuing to get better."
Game recap
Key player: Stephen Strasburg struck out eight, allowed just one earned run, doubled home a run and scored another.
Play play: Bill Rhinehart doubled home the tying and go-ahead runs in the sixth inning.

Male Chauvinism & Gerakan's Tan Keng Liang
Tan has been one of the better Gerakan youth leaders but his stubborn denial and refusal to apologize for his improper male chauvinistic mannerism is going to dig a deeper political pit for him and his party.
Tan clarified that during a twitter conversation, he had asked a voter in the constituency if he would choose MCA Beliawanis treasurer Jessica Lai or incumbent Hannah Yeoh (right), who will be on maternity leave soon, for the post.
When Yeoh asked him what he meant by "maternity leave", Tan clarified that it merely meant that the former would not be able to provide services to her constituents during her leave, which she was entitled to.
Any fair minded Malaysian should be able to read that Tan's response and intention is inappropriate. I am sure any right minded Subang voters would understand and appreciate Hannah's need and right for maternity leave.
Like Tan, Hannah is one of the better young leaders in her party. She has a good service record in the constituency. She has sacrificed immensely, personal time (not a mere 8 to 5 commitment) and financially, to serve the people. She is now making a personal sacrifice for her family and husband by bearing a child for him.
To insinuate that she would not be able to serve her constituents during her leave and voters should choose a single and unmarried woman to represent them is an insult of the highest order.
Tan should just apologize and move on. It is politically not correct to be labelled as a male chauvinist.

Why should Tan Keng Liang apologize for something he did not do? I just read again Malaysiakini + Freemalaysiatoday. He only suggest to his fren 2 female as candidate in Subang Jaya. He even suggest pregnant lady. So, what wrong with that? Clearly, this is just a ploy of PR to get him to say sorry (that's admission). And will use against him later.
Yes, I can see that Tan clearly is one of the better ones in Gerakan...perhaps one of the most outstanding BN Youth leader i see in the past year (at state level in Kedah). Even Teresa, Lim Guan Eng, Chong Eng, etc PR top leaders have to respond to him. But looks like Tan not so stupid to fall into the traps of PR.
Gerakan has to scrape the bottom of the barrel to ridicule the DAP.
May I ask Tan if his mother had to become pregnant, do the housework and carry him for 9 months.
Did his wife get pregnant? Did she neglect the house and her work?
This man is an imbecile.
- jackpot said...
Joshua (ex DAP) must be Tan Keng Liang in disguise. What was your memebrship number and in which branch if you are not in disguise?
He can take his apology and shove it up his arse. We, Subang Jaya voters will show who we want as our wakil rakyat come GE13.
Bung used to be a specialist in women's period, now Tan wants to specialise in women's pregnancy while utusan spend an awful lots of time scrutinising women's clothings.Can all these great warriors stop fantasizing on women bodies and offer a tip how to improve our economy instead?Sigh!
Why the hell everyone so interested in this issue? What's wrong taling about maternity leave? damn. Something wrong with malaysia politician these days. Wakil rakyat suppose to work for people NOT argue everyday.
This already turn into a circus by this Tan & DAP .....hahahaha
Being pregnant for 9 long months & not easy going for any women regardless of what they do & do not do is a gift from God, that men was not bestow with!!!!!
Hannah's job specs itself is "no walk in the park" & what about her area where she has to take care and look into????? How many thousands of people....?
Knowing very well Hannah "IS" pregnant and will eventually go on maternity leave when the time comes.....
WHY, of all things & so many other things to say & do, must Tan make & ask this particular question?
He could have asked... "Who are you (Hannah) gonna choose to replace when you go on maternity leave?"
Why bother to compare opposition camp? Why ask it out (twitter) for all to see?
If Tan was/is a better man in Gerakan, please ask :
"How 'more' can we serve you rakyat?"
Next time!
1) HANNAH YEOH is indeed PREGNANT & NOT fit to serve as a 'wakil rakyat'. She ought to RELINQUISH all her political post with immediate effect until her MATERNITY LEAVE is over.
2) DAP need NOT give-up the SUBANG JAYA seat. However, DAP need to find a temporary SUBSTITUTE to replace the PREGNANT HANNAH. This will only be fair to all SUBANG JAYA voters.
3) It's near IMPOSSIBLE for a PREGNANT WOMAN to give 100% of HARD WORK.
4) Any DONKEY will tell you the MOST IMPORTANT thing for a PREGNANT LADY to do is to just REST, REST, REST & REST. This is GOOD for both the MOTHER & UNBORN BABY.
5) HANNAH YEOH should SURRENDER her 'POWER CRAZY' ambition for the time being. She can always adopt back her 'POWER CRAZY' ambition after her maternity leave. No point being POWER CARZY while she's PREGNANT. This will only harm her UNBORN BABY.
6) It's WRONG to say HANNAH is SACRIFICING herself just to bear a child for her HUSBAND. Getting PREGNANT is NOT a "SACRIFICE" but a "HONOUR" instead. Unless, HANNAH is born just to deliver BABIES for any Ahmad, Ah Seng or Muthu, then, it's CORRECT to say such a statement.
7) If HANNAH YEOH insist of HOLDING on to POWER during her PREGNANCY, then, the best option is for here to get a "MISCARRIAGE". This way, she would finally realize her own SELFISHNESS & the lesson of NOT getting adequate REST during PREGNANCY.
Now...."TOPIC CLOSED",. Will HANNAH YEOH please 'PODAH' & balik REHAT??? Time to HIBERNATE!!!
I think this is what TAN KENG LIANG was trying to say. Just a GUESS, though.
"Tan has been one of the better Gerakan youth leaders", if that is what Gerakan has to offer, the faster this party fades into history the better.
I as a woman & I totally agree with what commentator KY wrote @ 10:36AM.
Hannah should indeed get as much as rest as possible for the sake of her unborn baby or at least for her own health sake. If Hannah chooses to risk & sacrifice her own health + the health of her unborn child, then, I don't call this "sacrifice". I would rather call this "stupidity for the sake of power crazy".
The problem with many of these young turks politicians from Pakatan Rakyat is that they had been too sucked-up by the craze of power ever since they are voted-in via the last Political Tsunami. Most of them had lost sense of family importance & health importance simply for the sake of being in power. How pathetic, right?
Come 'on, Hannah! Pls. do what a pregnant mother should do & that is to quit all your political post with immediate effect by handing the job to your fellow compatriot. Unless you really want to go thru' a "miscarriage" like what commentator KY had wrote, then, it will be all too late to even regret. Being blessed with a child is something more honorable than being a mere 'wakil rakyat'. There are some married couples who can't even bear a child & they crave dearly for it & now you are being blessed with it....please accept God's gift with sincerity. Do not let the devilish you take control over your mind & soul.
Hannah, pls. ask yourself which is more valuable...."Your family" or "Your YB title"? Use your brains, will you?
You really need to figure out why your dog is barking. That should keep you busy for a minute at least.Hahahahaha.
Based on Veronica Adele Peter's comments. I suggest all bosses to give compulsory 9 months unpaid leaves to any female worker who conceive baby.For the sake of health, to avoid miscarriage,express gratitude to God's blessing,respect married couples who can't bear a child, family first not job... bla..bla..
People like Veronica are the truly pathetic ones. If they are truly caring for Hannah's health, they should not start by making all kinds of unfounded accusations about her integrity. Choosing to serve the community selflessly is letting the devil take control of our mind and soul? I am not sure whether they are measuring others by their own mental paradigms when they judge that all ADUNs and MPs are there just for the power or the YB title. Hannah Yeoh is a sincere and dedicated ADUN who has done a great job for her electorate. If this is what you call a "power-crazy young turk", then we need more of them.
- elizabeth said...
The crux of the matter is prejudice against women. Many years ago, when women go for job interviews, they are prejudiced because the prospective employers are always thinking about the 2 mths paid maternity leave. I have always told them, is it better to have a competent and trustworthy staff 10 mths in a year, or a useless fella who is there the whole time? I am not being sexist, but really, one needs to look at performance, period. Compare Hannah with our Port Kelang Adun. Is he on maternity leave? But truth is, he never served his constituents, not even for a day!! I think people like KY are cypertrooper sent in by the Tan to hope to neutralise the angst. Tan, be a man and apologise!!
me thinks Veronica Adele Peter is another BN cyber-gangster hired to defend Tan Keng Liang, and probably male.

Court puts GOP in difficult position
July 6, 2013
For the United States, the Fourth of July represents not only the triumph of independence but the victory of an idea. Not only does it celebrate political freedom but personal liberation as well....

Comments about Levenger Carezza Double Pen Sleeve:
A Christmas gift for my daughter-in-law to use with her Levenger fountain pen and rollerball previous gifts.She loves the leather, color and small size which hardly takes up any room in her purse. She also likes the elegant packaging Levenger provides ..."first class" was her words.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Handy high quality pen sleeve
By history buff
from Spencer, MA
I was looking for a two pen sleeve, for either jacket or shirt pocket, and ordered your product. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of the leather, lining, and construction. It fits easily in either my suit jacket, or a shirt pocket, and protects two pens from scratches or worse.It's simple, functional, and priced competitively with similar products. There are also others at higher prices, that offer little in additional function or features. A quality product, reasonably priced and satisfying.
Love this product!

Recently received this product in the eggplant color. The leather is soft and wonderful and the color is exquisite. My two pens fit in it perfectly and stay put in a pocket in my purse. Previous to this purchase they were slipping all over the place and I was having a problem locating them when I wanted to use them. What a great product. I am extremely pleased.

The Stetson University women's lacrosse program is just 17 days from making its official debut, but already the Hatters have impressed the other coaches in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
Stetson was picked to finish tied for second in the league's first year of women's lacrosse competition. The Hatters earned 15 points in voting by the league coaches to tie the University of Detroit for second. Jacksonville University received all five first place votes and is the overwhelming favorite to capture the league title. A pair of JU players were also chosen as the league's preseason Player and Defensive Player of the Year.
A-Sun lacrosse fans also had a chance to vote for the league favorites as well as Player and Defensive Player of the Year awards. Howard took top honors in the Facebook voting, earning the top spot in the poll as well as both individual honors.
In addition to the preseason polls, the league coaches also named a preseason All-Conference team as well as a newcomer watch list for the coming year. Only players from the three existing programs were eligible for inclusion on the preseason team.
Stetson's two representatives on the Newcomer Watch List are freshman midfielder Mary Kate O'Sullivan (Naples, Fla.) and sophomore attacker Samantha Akl (Port St. Lucie, Fla.).
Hatters coach Nicole Moore, who will lead Stetson into its first year of intercollegiate competition, is excited about the potential O'Sullivan and Akl bring to the team.
"Mary Kate is a strong player and has shown her determination, coach-ability and drive every day," Moore said. "She continues to improve her game and has a very bright future here at Stetson. Though only a freshman, she will help lead our team and build success in our program. I am excited to be able to coach Mary Kate and see what she does this season."
Akl brings a level of collegiate experience as a sophomore transfer from Limestone College.
"Sam is a tenacious worker on the field and will help run our attack," Moore said. "She has brought her experience to our program and has pushed herself and her teammates to work hard and to reach full potential. She continues to work daily on her game and that effort is evident. Sam shares the vision of this program and strives for excellence in her lacrosse experience."
The Hatters will open their inaugural season of play with an exhibition game against the Haudenosaunee National Team at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Lake Buena Vista on January 26. Their regular season opener at the Stetson Athletics Training Center will be on February 10 against Liberty.
The Hatters will play 10 home matches during their 15-game regular season schedule.
