Jim Hendry Fired
This is one of those times I wish I could adjust the headline size so it could fill the whole front page.
Anyway, ninja Hendry finally bit the bullet as Ricketts wasn't kidding when he said a major announcement was coming. Hendry says he was informed as of July 22nd that he wouldn't be retained for next year.
"He never missed a beat; it's a credit to his character that we were able to operate the way we did and get the job done," Ricketts said. "We had the trade deadline coming up and I didn't think it made any sense to change horses in mid-stream."
Followed by this little quip...
Hendry, 56, said Cubs Chairman notified him July 22 that he wouldn't be retained. He indicated that was one factor in deciding not to trade away veteran players at the deadline, figuring he should leave those decisions to his successor.
That, along with just naming Randy Bush as the interim sort of defeats the whole purpose of keeping him an extra month, but who am I to question the reasonings of billionaires.
Hendry conveniently leaves with a 749-748 record as a GM, I guess the gift of a winning record is better than a gold watch. Ricketts says the search for the new GM starts today (shouldn't it have started on July 22nd?) and it will be a private process and be a search outside of the organization. And that the new GM will report directly to Ricketts, rather than using Crane Kenney as a buffer.
It's step one of the process and for that I am glad. Unfortunately, it's really step two of the process where the real excitement or possible dissappointment lives.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
Playing "the kids" will probably help. No one wants to see Skinny Dick and Koyie Hill play, not even their mothers.
Along those lines, from Muskett:
Cubs pitcher Andrew Cashner, who threw 32 pitches in a live batting-practice session on Friday, is expected to begin a Minor League rehab assignment on Tuesday.
Cashner has been on the disabled list since April 6 with a strained right rotator cuff he suffered during his first and only start this season on April 5. Friday was his third live BP session.
If all goes well, the right-hander expects to be back with the Cubs on Sept. 1.
"That's what I'm shooting for," Cashner said. "[I want to] be ready to roll and ready to come right out of the bullpen."
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
I actually just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
Q-ball, "I'd love to get cashner in there but how am I suppose to sit Ramon Ortiz and grabow after all they've done for us."
actually Q-ball, now that his "inner voice" has been cut off from the Borg Collective has been stopped from having any thoughts.
Q-ball, "...background noise: Led Zep's, When the Levee Breaks..."

If Q-Ball starts cooking meth I wouldn't be surprised.

Re: Jim Hendry Fired
I think the time has come to stop worrying about what was and start worrying about what comes next. I don't know much about Josh Byrnes, so I looked him up.
I found this:
Carlos Gonzalez, Brett Anderson, Chris Carter, Aaron Cunningham, Dana Eveland, and Greg Smith to the A's for Dan Haren on December 14, 2007.
on wikipedia. Now, I was okay with the Garza deal, but this is insane...!
Anybody else scared of the Josh Byrnes possibility besides me?
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
i'm just waiting to see who it is before i even give a fuuuuuuuu...
i wanna know what's up with 3rd/RF/1st and 2 pitching slots...and how much money mr. unnamed has to work with.
it's not like there's a lot of system to trade away for anything that's going to be gold, but they probably can't fill all that without doing some trading.
whoever the GM is, they have a lot to do and the cubs should probably find out who it is and get them into the fold asap.
...also, i think josh b. made his bed with a slew of bad trades...as bad as that trade was, the trade that got rid of d.haren was also horrible. joe saunders for one of the best starters under a reasonable multiple-year contract...way to go. i dunno if anyone really wants him as a GM...at least i'd be shocked.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
I'm sort of stoked that Ricketts seems interested in a sabre guy, even though I've often disputed the absolutes that some people put on stats. Good, old school scouting is still important, but Ricketts seems aware of this, too. His emphasis on player development, and shrewdly keeping Hendry around to sweet talk the draftees was another thing I was impressed by. I don't buy the argument that all the draft picks would have signed no matter who was in charge, as one columnist I saw suggested. I saw a report that Dillon Maples was landed specifically because of Hendry's college recruiter like sales job on the Cubs. That shows huge class on Hendry's part, doing that after being fired, and smarts on Ricketts' part for knowing Hendry had the kind of character to do that kind of thing.
I, for one, thought Ricketts was an idiot up until a few days ago. Instead, he's starting to look like a pretty sharp suit.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
Yeah, Ricketts has changed a lot in the last few days!
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
i'm glad hendry is finally gone. and i'm not sure if my joy is anti-climactic or premature. it's only 1 move of a whole host of moves that need to be made.
crane kenney contributes nothing, and probably detracts from, the baseball operation. unless he miraculously pulls off a complete publicly financed wrigley renovation, he needs to be dispatched. if only to remove a potential roadblock for a genuine baseball president to interview and be hired.
quade is already a dead-man walking, no sense wasting words about it.
fleita has been around for eons. wilken has been around plenty long enough. they are both hendry guys. the only reason to keep them now is for continuity until the new full-time gm is interviewed and hired. then they need to walk the plank. i'm hoping ricketts' press conference vote-of-confidence is just as terminal for them as it was earlier this summer for hendry.
hendry's dismissal was the best well-kept secret i can recall. i am hopeful ricketts is playing possum when he says "the search can now begin". i am hopeful he has more good secrets, and will keep them well until september 30.
and then the demolition can truly begin. glad hendry has been dismissed, but it's only the first mile of the marathon.
also, good to see old-timers like manny trillo and 10 man jump in. all we need now is a little news from ruz.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
imo, fleita (notoriously cranky, yet mostly fair...) and wilken are pretty good baseball guys and cubs guys.
quade/crane...meh, *shrug* whatever...don't care either way whether they stay or go. quade has his supporters, but there doesn't seem to be anything he does especially well as a manager aside from not looking/acting like he's out of his league or lost.

Re: Jim Hendry Fired
this is old news (about the suspension) but the specific drug (methylhexaneamine, a stimulant) that got Cubs AA catcher, Luis Flores suspended, was reported in this link.
Luis Flores, playing with Double-A Tennessee, was suspended by Major League Baseball for 50 games after testing positive for Methylhexaneamine, a banned stimulant found in some energy drinks.
some info on the methylhexaneamine...
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
Ugh. These kids need to stay away from both energy drinks and the unregulated supplements. Maybe the Cubs need to install some offseason curricula on GNC and the drug testing policies. (They could create a course on hydration and energy while they are at it.)
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
they took away their adderall. everyone is sad...except the 10%+ of MLB that has a prescription. =p
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
Here's a reason why I think we should all be talking about how strangely unproductive Marlon Byrd has been:
Colvin's R/PA in 2011: .0696
Byrd's R/PA in 2011: .120
Colvin's RBI/PA in 2011: .101
Byrd's RBI/PA in 2011: .062
Colvin R/PA in 2010 and 2011: .130
Byrd R/PA in 2010 and 2011: .128
Colvin RBI/PA in 2010 and 2011: .130
Byrd RBI/PA in 2010 and 2011: .090
Meanwhile, Colvin has practically hit himself out of the majors, and Byrd's production hasn't been questioned by anyone in the mainstream media or in the front office. We could look at these numbers and say they are just runs and RBI, and absolutely agree that these often vary drastically, but I suspect that if we take a close look at Byrd's approach and what he actually brings to the table, we'll find that his batting average severely skews our perception of his actual value.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
I guess that is a more fair way of looking at it. Still, I'm awe-struck at Byrd's 2011. But I suppose that doesn't necessarily indicate that his overall game is as poor as I perceived it to be--he just hasn't driven in runs this year.
Colvin's skillset, I would argue, still proves him more offensively productive in 2010 and nearly so in 2011; they may have been close in driving in runners on base in 2010, but Colvin could drive himself in at any given time, and he also appears to be the better baserunner, and--remarkably--he's had a higher walk rate with the Cubs than has Byrd.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
I think that's probably why I find myself so annoyed by him. He'd be fine as the #7 hitter and if he and Fukudome hadn't kept Colvin from playing time in 2010 and to begin 2011.
Re: Jim Hendry Fired
I think we can all agree that he's not the problem with the team. He shouldn't be batting 3rd unless he's in AAA, but he's still a really nice 4th outfielder or a "second division" starter.

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.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - These last two tumultuous weeks have robbed Penn State of its dignity, permanently tarnished the reputation of Jerry Sandusky, cleared out the offices of the university president and legendary head football coach and put a new athletic director in charge of a national search.
But it has not robbed the Nittany Lions - or their interim head coach - of their heart.
And boy was that apparent here Saturday afternoon when, given the circumstances, Penn State turned in one of the gutsiest performances in its history by beating Ohio State, 20-14, before 105,493 in the Horseshoe.
Article Photos
The Associated Press
Tom Bradley directs the Lions in the first half.
"I don' t think any team in the history of major college football has been through so much in such a short time period," Tom Bradley said. "But they've hung in there and fought through it. I couldn't be prouder of them."
Bradley, now on the job all of 11 days in the wake of Joe Paterno's firing, "challenged" the team before the game "to show a lot of character and resolve."
He knew success at Ohio State has been minimal. He reminded the Lions that they won here in 1978 and in 2008 and asked the team, "I want to know how you're going to be remembered."
And then it came to back up his words.
The Lions, up 20-14 midway through the third quarter, faced fourth-and-goal from the Ohio State 1 after three unsuccessful cracks. A field goal would have put Penn State up two scores.
"I had told them we were going for the win the whole way," Bradley said. "Normally, we probably would have kicked it, but I felt that would have been the wrong decision because before the game, I asked those guys to go to the wall."
So, he quickly decided, "I'm going to the wall."
Silas Redd was stopped short, but the Lions were not discouraged.
"That was tough," offensive captain and tackle Quinn Barham said. "It slowed our momentum down, but it didn't knock our confidence down."
That resolve came from the top, and it's a key reason maybe the biggest reason that Penn State (9-2 overall, 6-1 in the Big Ten) shifted the black cloud from this season and will now head to Wisconsin with a berth in the conference's first championship game on the line.
That Bradley went for it on fourth down at the 1 is only part of the decisive leadership he's provided.
It took him basically one day to stamp Matt McGloin as the starting quarterback and, after jumping over to the offensive side for the first time since he was wide receivers coach in 1987, he sanctioned a wildcat offense geared to take advantage of some of the Lions' young skill players.
Off the field, he's handled all the non-football questions like a master. And in the Paterno mold, he's continued to stress classwork, chide the players to trim their mustaches and beards and remove their headsets in public.
"Everything I've asked them to do they've done, and I attribute that to the great leadership of our senior class," Bradley said.
"We're building every single day," senior safety and captain Drew Astorino said. "We're a big-time program. A lot of people watch us, and even now the world's watching. We've just got to play how we always play and be who we really are. We just have to be Penn State, and I think we did that."
There were a lot of questions about emotions Saturday the emotions accompanying a big win in hostile territory, the emotions of the past two weeks and the emotions of learning on Friday that Paterno has been diagnosed with cancer.
"It's been rough on all of us," Barham said. "We're trying to put everything behind us and concentrate on football."
For three hours Saturday, the game was a welcome relief that because of the Nittany Lions' character and an interim head coach who cannot possibly be doing a better job, brought an equally welcome outcome.

"This is so ridiculous," Trump, 63, tells PEOPLE. "There was a report in the Palm Beach Daily News that Melania and I are having problems, and it is 100-percent false, as I told them."
"The truth is," he says, "our 5-year-old son Barron is in school [in New York] on Fridays until 5 p.m. and we don't want to take him out to fly down to Palm Beach. So I have come alone. I left really early this past weekend because of the snowstorms."
Trump, who stars on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice, says that Melania, 39, is a good wife and mom, and these rumblings, started by bored Palm Beach socialites, are totally untrue. For the record, the Palm Beach Daily News merely inquired of Trump as to the status of his marriage.
"Melania used to come with me to Palm Beach every weekend, but now that we have a young son, his school comes first," Trump tells PEOPLE.
This weekend, however, there will be special plans for Valentine's Day. "I am bringing Melania to Mar-a-Lago and plan to take her to the annual Palm Beach Heart Ball on Saturday night," says Trump. "She is the co-chairwoman! All is well."

SHENANDOAH JUNCTION - The Mountain Heritage Arts and Crafts Festival showcases some of the best artisans up and down the East Coast. This weekend, approximately 190 of them will encompass the grounds with their food, products and demonstrations. Entertainment includes bluegrass bands Patent Pending, Nothin' Fancy, Hillbilly Gypsies and the Stevens Family from Berkeley Springs. This is the Stevens Family's first appearance at the festival. Children's activities include face painting, balloon animal making, moon bounce and rock climbing walls, and make-and-take craft projects.
Any profits after expenses help support local community projects.
"Our main purpose is to bring tourism to the area and to demonstrate our culture," said Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Heather McIntyre. "The make-and-take projects give the kids something to take home while demonstrating to them how to make a craft. Demonstrations for children and adults show people how things are made, like a bowl being made in front of them. They see things that they normally don't get to see (in our modern world). The festival brings back heritage to a part of our lives."

Ranson resident Bill Strider mixes a fresh 20-gallon batch of apple butter at the Charles Town Rotary's apple butter booth during the Mountain Heritage Arts and Crafts Festival at Sam Michael's Park in Shenandoah Junction last year.
She said several school groups arrive Friday, the first day of the three-day festival, for demonstrations and activities. One is a scavenger hunt. "They have to go to a potter, for example, to find out where the potter is from and how to make the pottery. It's an educational opportunity."
One tent at the festival that is popular is the tastings tent. Different kinds of dips and other foods can be sampled. Then people can decide what they want to take home. West Virginia Fruit and Berry is a longtime business that contributes to the tastings tent. Foods also include soup mixes and honey. Part of the educational aspect is showing the working bee hive under glass.
McIntyre said it's amazing to her what people can make. She said one participant makes paintings with colored pencils.

"You would swear it's watercolors or something else," she said. "But it's colored pencils."

One artisan in June formed sports stadiums in 3-D with wood. She said she couldn't get over the one of WVU. Other woodworkers may make chainsaw carvings or furniture.
Artisans and crafters work a variety of media. Wares usually include baskets, metals, pottery, fine arts, photography, flowers, furniture, jewelry and more. Various home decor items and other food items like wine can be found. Four West Virginia wineries will be giving tastings and selling wines.
Many of the artisans and crafters come each year. But McIntyre said the festival likes to add new participants to get a variety. Often they are West Virginia artisans. But some come from far and wide to participate. The festival is juried. A group of judges visits each booth at the festival twice a year and scores them. Possible new participants are asked to submit digital images and information online. In February, applications are gone over and everyone is rated. The final participants are selected.
"Crafters or artisans used to have to bring their wares here for the judges to process and score," McIntyre said. "But that was hard for the ones traveling long distances. With the ability to send digital pictures, they can send them in now."
Another reason for adding new artisans is that some of the longtime participants, she said, are not able to travel to all the shows they used to do. Reasons vary. But one is that some are older, and the younger generation isn't taking up the baton as eagerly as those in the field would like.
She said it's challenging. The younger generation is working at other jobs. So, she believes the festivals need to preserve our heritage and the arts as much as possible.
Entertainment varies each day, too. Hillbilly Gypsies, who attended in 2011 and are back by popular demand, perform Sunday. The Stevens Family and Patent Pending perform both days. Nothin' Fancy performs Saturday.
McIntyre said the festival is a great value for entertainment and shopping. It brings people into the county. They tend to Christmas shop in September and buy apple butter. It helps the local economy because the crafters are staying locally and eating at local restaurants.

This article is brought to you in association with LG Optimus 2X
Last month, BT made Cornwall a little bit faster: it gave fifty people internet access at speeds of up to 40Mbps as part of a roll-out that will reach 80% of UK homes by 2014.
40Mbps sounds impressive, and it was - in 2005. That's when Asian ISPs were upping speeds to 40 and 50Mbps or higher, and it's taken quite a while for us to catch up.
By the time the average UK consumer gets 40Mbps broadband many other countries will be on 100-plus - and because BT's fibre doesn't reach our homes and offices we'll still have the same "up to" nonsense that makes the UK's broadband adverts so confusing.
British broadband is rubbish. The average UK broadband speed is just 6.2Mbps, Ofcom says, and while faster options do exist they aren't widespread - so for example Virgin's 100Mb service is only available to one million homes, and BT's roll-out can't deliver 100Mbps until we have fibre-optic connections from the cabinets in our streets to the sockets in our homes.
Akamai's most recent State of the Internet report rated us 17th in the world for broadband. Akamai reckons our average speed was even lower than Ofcom's number - it says we're averaging 4Mbps - while the world leaders, South Korea, averaged 14Mbps.
Hong Kong was second with 9.2Mbps and Japan 8.5Mbps. These figures are averages for the entire country, taking into account both urban broadband and slower rural services: when it comes to cities with fast broadband, the UK didn't make the top 100.
WHERE'S WALLY? And by "Wally", we mean "Britain". We don't feature in the world's top broadband table
The undisputed leader of fast broadband is South Korea, whose cities enjoy peak broadband speeds of around 57Mbps. So why are they so far ahead, and what could we do to catch up?
Fixing our broadband
"The Korean question is an easy one," says Trefor Davies, founder of communications provider Timico and council member of the Internet Service Providers Association, ISPA. "Most people live in densely packed multi-tenant dwellings such as apartment blocks, which makes it easy and far more cost effective to serve them with high speed, fibre-based connectivity. A 1-gig fibre connection to an apartment block can easily be distributed as 100Mbps or more to each apartment."
Oliver Johnson of broadband analysts Point Topic agrees. "South Korea is a little unusual," he says. "Dense population concentration and relatively high numbers of people per household mean that it would be theoretically easier to make a return for a commercial deployment - although that said, it's unlikely it would be quite so ubiquitous today without government intervention."
Given that BT is already rolling out Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC), couldn't it do the last mile to homes and businesses while it's at it? The technical answer is yes, but the economic one is no.
"This is a straightforward business case issue," Davies says. "It is cheaper to supply Fibre to the Cabinet than Fibre to the Premises, especially in rural areas where the cost of digs and wayleaves can be very high. BT is in the business of making money... this is quite unfortunate for UK PLC, because I think it is in the national interest to go 100Mbps everywhere rather than the - initially - more cost-effective 40Mbps."
Long wait
Don't think of 40Mbps as a step towards 100Mbps, Davies warns: think of it as BT telling you not to hold your breath. "The people who are now euphoric because they're getting FTTC will have to wait a very long time before they get 100Mbps," he says. "BT will want to wait for that investment to be repaid before spending any more money in a specific area."
Could someone else jump in and do what BT won't? Fujitsu would like to, but there are two problems.
The wayleaves - rents paid to locate ducts and poles on private land - negotiated by BT are often so low that rivals can't possibly hope to pay similar prices, and Fujitsu and several other network providers claim that BT's charges for access to its own network are ridiculous.
Fujitsu wants Ofcom to force BT Openreach - BT's network arm - to provide access to telegraph poles and cable ducts on "fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms".
The government could also help by changing the way it taxes network operators. The coalition government abandoned its promise to review the rates levied on fibre optic networks, so - excepting BT and Virgin - firms are taxed according to the length of their networks.
That taxation, which makes things particularly difficult in rural areas, is "an active disincentive to competitive, next-generation access roll-out". Who said that? Ed Vaizey, our communications minister. Of course, he wasn't in power then.
"It cannot be right that a network operator might have to pay rates on a specific length of cable whilst BT does not," Davies says, noting that whenever the rates have been challenged in court, the courts have found in favour of the status quo.
"Operators should be getting together en masse to oppose the rating system - but they are not." In the current climate, local authorities won't be keen on giving up this particular cash cow.
Broadband subsidies
What about South Korea-style subsidy? Oliver Johnson isn't convinced that it would work.
"It would be very difficult to transfer the model to Europe without affecting or compensating the market... we're already too far down the commercial deployment road to make significant intervention meaningful for most of the population. Where government can make a difference is in the commercially marginal - or flat-out impossible - areas and population."
That's an issue that applies to BT and to Virgin: large parts of the UK are sparsely populated, which makes rolling out any kind of broadband prohibitively expensive. The operators are private businesses, not charities.
As Trefor Davies explains:, "the investment case really doesn't exist for BT to roll out services [in rural areas]," he says. "Even where there is substantial EC aid as was the case in Cornwall, this only just brought the business case return on investment to an acceptable time frame - 13 years or so, I am given to understand."
SURFING THE NET: Thanks to BT, these ordinary businessmen can now SURF THE NET! [Image credit: BT Plc]
There's more to broadband than the operators' return on their investment, though. South Korea's investment in broadband and related technologies saved its economy.
Reeling from the collapse of the Asian financial markets in the 1990s, its government saw technology as a lifeline and spent billions on infrastructure, subsidies and investment in IT firms. In the 1990s, South Korea was an economic basket case. Now, it's one of the world's more successful economies.
Given that our economy is apparently a basket case too, could broadband help us out of the hole?
There are certainly economic benefits, Oliver Johnson says. "Broadband increases the tax base, increases GDP - by up to 2% from the first period of broadband... and even more today, reduces government expenditure in the medium to long term and improves the quality of life and access to services for the population."
It turns out that the biggest obstacle to super-fast broadband may be that the benefits take too long to arrive - for MPs, that is. As Johnson points out, "you don't get much benefit in the five-year lifespan of a Parliament." Why invest in something if you might not be around to get the credit?

Don't use the word "rebuilding."
Cane Bay baseball coach Shane Todd prefers to say the Cobras are going through a transition as the 2013 high school season dawns.
"We lost a lot of big game experience from our back-to-back region championship teams but we are excited that we have an experienced group of young men ready to step up and lead this team after waiting for their opportunity," Todd said. "There is stiff competition for a number of positions and they will be pushed everyday to improve in order to keep their spot. The new lineup and the move to a very competitive AAAA region will provide a strong challenge for this team."
The Cobras have to replace six seniors from last season, including a number of four-year starters, when they went 19-7 and played for a district title.
This year's team will have quality depth on the mound.
Florence-Darlington Tech signee Austin Timm will anchor the pitching staff as the Cobras' No. 1 starter. Three lefties fall in behind Timm in senior Taylor Corliss, junior Cody Maw and freshman Tanner Coleman.
The bullpen will be deep too. Right-handed senior Justin Shelton, who has also had some quality starts the last couple of seasons, heads that group. He was 5-1 as a starter in 2012.
Juniors B.J. Thompson, Trey Burdette and Brandon Kuhn are also right-handers.
In the field, Timm (catcher), Shelton (OF), senior Davon Higgins (OF), senior Blaine Peck (OF) and senior Cody Blewer (2B) are returning starters.
Brian Coleman is set to play first base and Thompson is on the other corner. Junior Jacob Page will play shortstop and bat in the leadoff spot.
Seniors Bobby Downey and Mike Morris will likely see time on the corners depending on who is pitching and may also provide help at the DH position.
Junior Christian Dutton (C/2B) and freshman Cameron Rozal (C) provide depth, along with sophomore corner infielders Bryce Singletary and Chris Hitchman.
In addition to the three returning outfielders, Burdette, Maw, and Kuhn will provide depth out there during the season.
"We must capitalize on the other team's mistakes," Todd said. "We must use our athleticism to create scoring opportunities, remain consistent on the mound and be fundamentally sound on defense.
"With continued hard work and effort this team has the ability to continue building this program into a consistent winner."
Which is why Todd doesn't want to use the word "rebuilding."

Ditch the Cable and Get Satellite Direct
Cable TV can be a bit too much sometimes. You get this package for your TV and you watch only a few, good channels. However, you are also paying for so many other channels that you don't even watch. Some of these packages are not even customizable and the bill can be so outrageous.
It's about time that you transfer your viewing experience to your computer for a quick and easy switch between reading your emails and watching your favorite shows. There is something you should know first. All satellite services are not created equally. The truth is, many of these TV for PC services are really quite crappy. You get poor picture quality. The software needs a lot of updating. Customer service is pretty lousy and the access to the channels you want is limited. You might just end up getting discouraged with all this.
Introducing The SatelliteDirect
By far, the best provider would have to be Satellite Direct. Interactive Media Magazine has named this as the best TV to PC software available on the internet. You can't go wrong with this service when watching TV on your home computer or netbook. You no longer have to worry yourself about subscriptions or monthly charges. The software provides unlimited access to more than a thousand channels. This includes sports stations and movie channels. You can even enjoy those rare, foreign channels. You won't have to concern yourself with bandwidth signals and video or audio quality. You'd get the best cable or satellite TV without paying for those horrible monthly fees ever again.
In fact, the costs of Satellite Direct you would have to pay in a lifetime is just half of a one month bill from a cable or satellite provider. There's no reason why you should pay over a hundred dollars just for a month's worth of cable. For a fixed price of only $49.95, you can have access to countless channels with Satellite Direct. There are no hidden fees as well.
Satellite Direct guarantees your 100% satisfaction with a safe and secure ordering. You won't have anything to lose, aside from that cable bill.

Governor Walker critical of Romney run
MADISON, Wis. (AP) _ Republican Gov. Scott Walker takes GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney to task for how he ran his 2012 campaign in his new book, offering a glimpse at what a Walker 2016 presidential run may look like.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of Walker's book ``Unintimidated: A Governor's Story and a Nation's Challenge'' on Friday. The 278-page book is available for sale to the public Nov. 19.
Walker recounts his 2011 fight with public employee unions over their collective bargaining rights, highlighting death threats his family received and justifying his actions.
Walker also uses the book to cast himself as a national leader, questioning Romney's message and saying he never got a response from an email he sent Romney offering advice during the 2012 campaign.

Superautomatic Espresso Machines and Coffee Makers
Too bleary-eyed to grind, tamp and steam your own espresso shot in the morning? Let a superautomatic espresso machine do it for you, saving you time, effort and clean up! At the push of a button, these espresso machines create consistent coffee and espresso drinks like lattes and cappuccinos.
While the taste of the coffee from these superautomatic espresso machines is similar, the biggest difference is in functionality and programming options. Some are capable of automatic milk frothing and others use a standard steam wand. Some have one-touch profiles for pre-set espresso drinks and others require you to manually enter in your drink selection. Try one, and you too will say, 'Domo Arigato Mister Roboto!'

jeezus chr
kittychix:If you know your behaviour or language is going to result in a ban, and continue with the actions anyway...you are heading in a direction of less then temporary action.
Katsu-S~S:how can i counter it with brits????
stay colonial. build 40-50 musks and 10-15 hussars. kill him. works in treaty 10 the same.
but you must stay at 10 minutes in his base and kill him. dont wait. this works also on deccan.
J McMillin:secret shogun you quitting too? dear god if everyone keeps quitting at this rate i'll be the best player on eso in a few months. lol
only time i use lb huss is on a brit strat i like on monogolia for sup. i put all the cav improvement and hussar cards in my deck. and gather all the op cav treasures. your life gaurds will be apsolutely BEAST. and i make a ton of lb's too to counter musk/goon. your life gaurds will then be able to cunter all cav but gendrame effectivly
Unkown_Genius:Pike Lb is best bet. You can easily have 20 or so pike by 7-8 mins. Take down any shipment points you may see. Win.
pike/lb vs otto fast industrial??? esepcially since you know its possible that they revolt after they go industrial. if they revolt pike longbow dies so bad imperial huss own both pike and lb and so do gatling guns and colonial militia will pwn pike. even if they don't revo your in a bad spot caus gaurd spahi will wreck you and so will jans and abus. its bad in nr10 but fine in sup becasue you can just put pressure on fast and never let him get industrial. the thing is ottos can get fortress in like 6 minutes. which is a bit of a pain
J McMillin:i think he's talkinig about straight fast industrial not revolt
its not different if his plan is just straight FI or revolution or treaty10. you should stop it anyway at 10 minutes in his base. FI times different from map to map. normal is 9.15-10.30. and big musket mass together with 10-15 hussars will deal with it. if you wait 1-2 minutes to long you will die. he should be so under pressure that he couldnt revolt or that his coming industrial shipments will die in his base asap. if he did naked FI he is done.

The North Suburban Library District referendum is so important, but the way it's written on the ballot is confusing, you cannot tell what you're voting for.
We've all already been paying for this bond for years, the library district is just asking for us to continue to pay the same amount, no increase, for the future so they can properly maintain the buildings.
If it's voted down, we as homeowners would only see a decrease of $14.64 on a home worth $100,000. That's it, not even the price of a single hardcover book. Please vote yes!!!!

Education top priority of 2013 legislative session

MARTINSBURG — Business owners, county and municipal officials and legislators alike gathered Friday at the Holiday Inn in Martinsburg to discuss this year's hottest topics for the legislative sessio......
You have to be kidding me, Tiffany Lawrence wants to give teachers hugh raises in this economy? She said the minimum salary for a teacher in the state is $31,675 with a bachelor's degree. "To me, that's obscene." WHAT? Look at other industries around here, that is 32K minium. Very few degreed people make that minimum for just 9 months. Left wing liberal Tiffany is at it again. She has her Reva Mickey democratic RING in her nose. Too bad Lawrence was able to squeak out a win in the last election. Quit spending my tax dollars Tiffany.

it's just the same old crap. I have been to two meeting with state reps they never mention HB 3051 (School choice) now in committee. This is all smoke and mirrors and more of the same. If you really want change people will have to tell them to put HB 3051 on the table. Unfortunately people won't do it and kids will have to grow up stupid and broke.

I think the best idea would be to use our compulsory attendance laws to ship American children from ages 4-18 over to Korea and Japan.
Then they would be much better educated at a fraction of the price and we can bring them back here to be even more productive citizens than the U.S. currently enjoys...

Platitudes and repeating the same sorry lines regarding education in the state will fix everything! Every year the same tired songs are sung. One bellows, "Oh, it's the federal government. That's the culprit!" Another croons, "Oh, the teacher salaries are too low." These officials are the very ones who are responsible for the things they complain about! I'm glad they're not auto mechanics. All we'd ever hear from them is, "Yup, it sure is broken," when what we need is the car to be fixed.

A while back I noted that work seemed to have stopped on south end of the the Main Street mall removal project, just a few percent shy of completion. There was an ugly fence around the former Chick Hotel Building at Main and Elm, right across from the MetroCentre, which made for an ugly sight for people visiting the red barn from out of town.
Public Works Superintendent Tim Hanson explained that discussions were taking place at City Hall about what to do with an old vault underneath the Rockford Office Supply and former Chick Hotel buildings at the corner of Elm and Main. The long-vacant hotel, owned by city taxpayers, was built in 1847.
Hanson told me not to worry, he was on the case and would the job done. In the last few days, crews have been at the site, filling the vault with a concrete-like substance. The job is costing $31,000, he said.
"Then we'll put paving bricks in there, and the walkway will be done," Hanson said. "At that point everything will be complete except the lighting, and that could be done later this year or more likely in the spring," he said.
"Our budget for the mall removal project was $2.65 million, and we've got about $150,000 of that left," Hanson said.
However, the total project will cost around $3 million, due to replacement of several 100-year old water mains under Main Street for� $400,000, and about $100,000 of sewer work for the Rock River Reclamation District.
"We decided with the old age of the water mains, it made sense to replace them rather than have to dig up the new street when the old ones break down," Hanson said.
Hanson said the project to replace the ill-fated mall revealed a series of old and disintegrating infrastructure, including vaults and old utility connections.
"There were all kinds of utilities going through that mall. It was a mess. And we knew that, so we set aside money for change orders, because we weren't sure what was under there," Hanson said.
The public works chief is concerned about the condition of the Chick Hotel, however.
"Those exterior bricks have started to disintegrate," he said. "The whole building's shot. When you walk inside the building, you want to walk only in the hallways. Go into one in of the rooms and you might fall through," Hanson said.

A three-time Atlantic Sun Conference champion as a head coach, Lynn Bria is in her ninth season at the helm of Stetson women's basketball program.
Over the past six seasons Bria has turned the Hatters into a formidable force in the Atlantic Sun. She has guided the Hatters to two conference titles, two NCAA Tournament appearances, three WNIT bids, and six consecutive 20+ win seasons. In fact, Stetson is just one of three schools in the state of Florida to post as many as 137 victories since the start of the 2010-11 season.
In 2015-16, Stetson won 20 games for the sixth year in a row despite not having any seniors on the squad. The Hatters also qualified for the WBI and earned their second NCAA postseason victory with a 89-54 win over McNeese State.
Brianti Saunders set the school single-game record with 40 points vs. Georgia State, and came within 11 points of tying the single-season scoring record. She was named first team all-conference, while Breana Bey was named second team all-conference and A-Sun Tri-Newcomer of the Year. McKenna Beach was named A-Sun Freshman of the Year.
Stetson posted its fifth straight 20-win season in 2014-15, compiling a 23-8 record overall. The Hatters won 11 non-conference games for the time ever, and the 23 wins overall tied for the third-winningest season in school history. Three Hatters were named First-Team All-Conference for the second year in a row, including the league's Defensive Player of the Year Amber Porter.
In 2013-14 and for the third year in a row, the Hatters set a school-record for most victories in a single-season with 27. Stetson also won a school-record 16 conference games and won a school-record 16 consecutive contests during the regular season. The Hatters also earned their second-ever bid to the WNIT and the program's first-ever NCAA postseason victory, a 70-63 win at Miami on Mar. 20. Stetson had three players named First Team All-Conference, including A-Sun Freshman of the Year Amber Porter.
The 2012-13 season was one for the history books as the Hatters set numerous team records for success and captured their second A-Sun title in the past three seasons. Bria helped lead the Hatters to a school-record 24 wins overall, a 12-1 record at home, a school-record 14 wins in conference play, and winning streaks of 11 straight overall and 16 in a row at home. In the A-Sun Championship game, Stetson rallied from a 15-point second-half deficit to defeat top-seeded and previously undefeated FGCU 70-64, and then earned their highest-ever NCAA Tournament seed (14) and an appearance in the Columbus, Ohio regional against UCLA.
In 2011-12, the Hatters won a school record 23 games and advanced to the postseason for the second year in a row, participating in the WNIT for the first time in school history. Three players earned All-Atlantic Sun honors including A-Sun Player of the Year and All-Tournament Team selection Victoria McGowan, who led the nation with three triple-doubles. Also honored were Second Team All-Atlantic Sun forward Sasha Sims and A-Sun All-Freshman Team forward Cherisse Burris.
Bria's 2010-11 Hatters won 20 games for the first time in 10 seasons, captured their third Atlantic Sun Conference tournament championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in school history and first time since 2005.
Stetson's turnaround under Bria from 6-24 to 20-13 (+12.5 games) was the second largest improvement in NCAA Division I women's basketball. Honors that came to members of the team included A-Sun Tournament MVP (Victoria McGowan), A-Sun All-Tournament Team (Tierra Brown, Sasha Sims), Second Team All-Atlantic Sun (McGowan), A-Sun All-Freshman Team (Sims), A-Sun Player of the Week (Natasha Graboski) and A-Sun Newcomer of the Week (McGowan twice, Sims). Graboski went on to sign a professional contract with Alexandria of Romania's Division 1 League in the summer of 2011.
In 2009-10 Bria led the Hatters to their seventh consecutive A-Sun tournament appearance. The highlight of the season was a December 16 victory over USC Upstate, which would go on to finish as a 20-win team, that led to forward Jessica Conner receiving A-Sun Player of the Week honors.
In her first season at Stetson, Bria coached the Hatters to eight victories, including the program's first victory against an RPI Top 100 opponent (FGCU, 12/4/08) in the 10 years since online data has been kept. She also made an immediate impact on the recruiting trail as her 2009-10 incoming class was ranked by Michael T. White's noted scouting service All-Star Girls Report as the best in the Atlantic Sun Conference and in the top third of all NCAA Division I teams.
Bria has coached women's basketball for 24 years with 18 seasons of Division I head coaching experience to her credit at UCF, Ohio University and Stetson. In addition to coaching, she has extensive classroom experience at the university level and is committed to developing young women both athletically and academically.
Prior to joining the Hatters, Bria spent the previous two seasons as an assistant coach at top-level programs West Virginia (2006-07) and most recently the University of Miami. Her excellent recruiting skills led to the Hurricanes signing a Top 25 incoming class according to recruiting experts at HoopGurlz.com. With WVU, Bria served as recruiting coordinator in addition to her on-court coaching duties. Her leadership helped the Mountaineers achieve one of their best seasons in school history, which featured an at-large bid to and second round appearance in the NCAA Tournament as well as the second-largest turnaround in W-L record in Big East Conference history (15-16 to 21-11 overall and from 4-12 to 11-5 in Big East games).
From 1999-2006, Bria was the head coach at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. She is second all-time in career wins at Ohio and was the first coach in Bobcats history to sign a recruit that would become Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year. Bria's first-year players earned MAC All-Freshman honors three consecutive years; only seven other players in the 20+ year history of the program had done that. In addition to coaching, Bria also taught a class in the Education department.
Prior to taking the position at Ohio, Bria led old Stetson nemesis UCF for three seasons from 1996-99. Her final Golden Knights team in 1998-99 was the TAAC (now Atlantic Sun) regular season and tournament champions and appeared in the NCAA Tournament. For her efforts, Bria was named the 1998-99 TAAC Coach of the Year. In just three seasons, she ranked second in career wins at UCF and was 6-1 against the Hatters.
Bria's first head coaching position came at Division II Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas for three seasons from 1993-96. At the age of 24, Bria was the fourth-youngest head coach in the country when she was hired. She coached the team, coordinated fundraising and taught in the Kinesiology department in addition to serving on the NCAA Division II Tournament regional selection committee. Her Pioneer squads won more games each year of her tenure than the one previously.
Her first three years out of college at the University of Charleston (W. Va.) were spent on the coaching staffs at Marshall (where she obtained her Master's degree in 1992) and Radford, where she helped lead the Highlanders to the Big South regular season and tournament titles in 1992-93.
A standout performer for the Charleston Golden Eagles, the Class of 1990 graduate was inducted into her alma mater's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2003. She scored 1,146 points in her career, averaging 10.3 points per game and was a 75.3 percent free throw shooter over her career.
A member of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Bria is an avid runner who has completed three marathons. The native of Charleston, W. Va. has had her high school jersey retired by Charleston Catholic High School.
