Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Justin Bour walked, doubled, and crushed a two-run HR, Matt Cerda tripled twice and scored three runs, and Chris Rusin threw three innings of perfect baseball, but it wasn't enough, as the Angels edged the Cubs 6-5 in AZ Instructional League action at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa this afternoon.
RHP Chris Archer got the start for the Cubs, and had a very poor outing, allowing four runs on two triples, two singles, a walk, and a HBP (plus three WP), in just two innings of work (41 pitches - 24 strikes). Archer was 4th in the Cubs minor leagues in strikeouts in 2009 (trailing only Jay Jackson, Mitch Atkins, and Chris Carpenter), but he led all Cubs minor league pitchers in walks.
2009 4th round pick LHP Chris Rusin (U. of Kentucky) followed Archer, and threw three perfect innings, while needing just 35 pitches (24 strikes) to do it.
Down 4-0, the Cubs came back with one run in the 3rd and three more in the 5th to tie the game.
2008 4th round pick Matt Cerda (Oceanside HS - Oceanside, CA) tripled off the left-field fence with one out in the 3rd, and scored on a Jovan Rosa ground RBI single to RF.
Kyler Burke led-off the 5th with a sharply-hit single to RF, and then with one out, Justin Bour (2009 25th round pick out of George Mason U.) slammed a long HR over the right-centerfield fence onto Field #5, the "half-field" located north of the Cubs clubhouse. (Bour just missed clubbing a dinger down the LF line on the pitch prior to the HR, as the ball curved foul before going out of the park).
At 6'4 250+, the 21-year old Bour is a big dude who looks like he should have some power, but he hit only four HR in 62 games and 269 PA (combined) at Mesa and Boise in 2009. But Bour has been working with Peoria hitting instructor Barbaro Garbey in the cages each morning before the games and his new-found power really showed up today! (BTW, Justin Bour's older brother Jason is a catcher in the Reds organization, and Jason was ex-Cubs #1 draft pick Mark Pawelek's catcher at Sarasota in 2009).
Matt Cerda followed Bour's HR with his second triple of the game, a towering blast that hit off the Green Monster metal "batter's-eye" in dead CF, and then Cerda scored on a Sergio Burruel sacrifice fly.
The Angels scored single runs in the 6th and 7th off relievers Jose Rosario and Nick Struck to re-take the lead, but then the Cubs scored again in the bottom of the 7th, narrowing the Halo advantage to just one run.
Justin Bour led-off the 7th with a double off the LF fence, but then suffered an apparent brain cramp and was thrown-out trying to advance to third (with no outs!) on a Matt Cerda ground ball to the SS.
Michael Brenly singled to send Cerda to 2nd, and then 18-year old Sergio Burruel (2009 19th round pick out of Trevor Browne HS - Phoenix, AZ) crushed a ball down the RF line that hit the top of the 25-ft high outfield fence, just missing going out of the yard for what would have been a a three-run homer. Burruel had to settle for an RBI double, with Brenly advancing to 3rd base representing the potential go-ahead run. But then Logan Watkins struck out, and Ryan Flaherty bounced out, leaving the runners stranded.
The Cubs had one more chance to tie the game in the bottom of the 9th, as Bour walked with one out. But PR Kyung-Min Na (supposedly the fastest HS player in South Korea when the Cubs signed him for a reported $700K+ this year) was immediately picked-off 1st, and then Matt Cerda hit a game-ending 1-3 comebacker to the mound.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1. Logan Watkins, 2B: 0-4 (3-U, 4-3, 4-3, K)
2. Ryan Flaherty, SS: 0-4 (K, 6-3, 3-1, 3-U)
3. Brett Jackson, CF: 0-3 (K, K, BB, K), SB
4. Brandon Guyer, LF: 0-3 (P-5, F-8, BB, F-7)
5. Kyler Burke, RF 1-4 (K, 1B, K, 4-3), R
6. Rebel Ridling, DH #1: 0-4 (L-5, 4-3, P-9, 3-1)
7a. Justin Bour, 1B: 2-3 (P-6, HR, 2B, BB), R, 2 RBI
7b. Kyung-Min Na, PR: 0-0, PO
8. Matt Cerda, 3B: 2-4 (3B, 3B, 6-5 FC, 1-3) 3 R
9a. Jovan Rosa, C: 1-1 (1B, BB), RBI
9b. Michael Brenly, C: 1-1 (1B)
10. Sergio Burruel, DH #2: 1-2 (K, F-8 SF, 2B), 2 RBI
1. Chris Archer - 2.0 IP, 4 H, 4 R (4 ER), 1 BB, 0 K, 1 HBP, 3 WP, 5/0 GO/FO, 41 pitches (24 strikes)
2. Chris Rusin - 3.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 5/2 GO/FO, 35 pitches (24 strikes)
3. Jose Rosario - 1.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 1/0 GO/FO, 15 pitches (10 strikes)
4. Nick Struck - 2.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 1/4 GO/FO, 28 pitches (15 strikes)
5. Corey Martin - 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 0/3 GO/FO, 10 pitches (7 strikes)
1. Jovan Rosa (E-2) - overthrow at 2nd base on SB attempt, allowing runner to take 3rd.
2. Matt Cerda (E-5) - errant throw to 1st base bounced past 1st baseman allowing batter to reach safely, but then batter-runner was thrown-out 3-6 trying to advance to 2nd base.
3. Kyler Burke (E-9) - over-ran a ground single to RF allowing batter to advance to 2nd and to 3rd, and then batter was thrown out trying to score 9-4-2 (OF assist to Burke - see below).
1. Jovan Rosa - 0-1 CS + E-2 throwing error (see above)
2. Michael Brenly - 1 PB
1. Brett Jackson - batter-runner was thrown out 8-4-2 trying to stretch a triple into an inside-the-park HR.
2. Kyler Burke - batter-runner was thrown out 9-4-2 trying to score on a H+E (see above).
1. Justin Bour - led off bottom of the 7th with a double, then was thrown out 6-5 trying to advance to 3rd base on a ground ball to the SS with no outs.
2. Kyung-Min Na - PR for Justin Bour at 1st base after Bour walked with one out in the bottom of the 9th with Cubs trailing 6-5, but then was immediately picked-off by the Angels pitcher.
WEATHER: 90 & sunny
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
AZ Phil -- I am trying to figure out who will be at Triple A next year. Assuming Samardzija and Caridad will be at the Major League Level, I have
Starters: Atkins, Russell, Coleman, Jackson, and Chen.
Relievers: Parker, Stevens, Gaub, Papelbon, Berg, Mateo, Mathes/Reinhard
Lambert made it to Triple A but will be rehabbing after TJ surgery. Not sure if Schlitter, Maestri, Patton or Ruhlman will be there. There seem to be a lot of candidates for a few spots and that is not counting any potential minor league FA that they sign. Let me know what you think.
Re: Assuming Samardzija ... will be at the Major League level
This is like assuming Geo Soto will get back on the diet wagon, stop smoking weed, lose the forty pounds he put on this year, and hit .285 .364 .504 .868 again.
Samarginal is a waste of $10 million. The only thing for sure next year is he'll be 25 and we'll be stuck with him.
I'm hoping he likes Mexico so much he decides to stay there.
Re: Assuming Samardzija ... will be at the Major League ...
Samardzija projects to be a legit big leaguer. That doesn't mean he'll be effective in the big leagues right now. On the flip side, just because he's not effective at the major league level right now doesn't mean he won't be effective and very good some day. He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ago? He has a ways to go yet. Samardzija right now is neither a problem or the solution.
Re: Assuming Samardzija ... will be at the Major League ...
A potential bust.
The problem with the guy is expectations.
He signed a $10MM bonus, thanks to Daddy Warbucks Hendry.
Naturally, the team put him on the fast-track. He certainly is not Mark Prior (when that meant something good) or Adam Wainright, and I just think that the Cubs have blown it based on the fact that he is expected to perform well NOW, yet he has developed one and a half pitches to this point.
What the hell has he shown at the Major League level, so far? ZERO
If he could "simmer" for a while in AAA, that is one thing, but the dude's original contract is going to be up already in 2011, I think!
Do most people believe he will be an effective MLB pitcher by that time?
Notre Dame is overrated.
Re: Assuming Samardzija ... will be at the Major League ...
Problem is less about Samjay and more about the Cubs expectations.
Samardzija pitched really well out of the pen in 2008. He has 1 1/2 really good MLB level pitches. If they cubs would put him in the pen and let him alone, then he would probably be an effective MLB reliever next year.
Unfortunately the cubs will try their pattented "Square Peg/Round Hole" approach to player development and probably crush this kid.
Gotta Justify the signing bonus. Easier to blame Samjay for being a total bust than to blame the Organization for giving an amature reliever 10 million dollars.
Re: Assuming Samardzija ... will be at the Major League ...
the guy has a MLB contract...they're just gonna use him.
he's not ready, but given how total shit the pen was this year he found himself making it up in the pecking order.
he could use a consistent 3rd pitch and some control that isn't over the fat of the plate.
no big deal...if the pen is actually in good shape in 2010 we might not see him for a while.
he needs to be stretched out to start anyway...AAA should be just fine for that.
btw, the cubs have an option on the guy beyond his 5 year mlb contract that pays him 6-7m combined in 2012/2013...it's not like it was a totally boneheaded deal.
basically, he's guaranteed a roster spot on the 40 man while he earns service time and can walk away with 16-17m over 7 years...total. he's got some bonus thing on top of that, too, that's good for another 6-7m, but I don't know exactly how that "i won't walk away from this to play football" bonus works.
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ago?
Good grief Ryno! This is his FOURTH (4th) season as a pro. That makes next year number five. He's olde. He's been a bust. I'm tired of him.
When Greg Maddux was 25 he won his 75th game and pitched his 1100th inning as a Cub. He was worth $10 million, Samarginal isn't worth ten cents.
But maybe he'll get introduced to some magic PED down in Mexico and I'll have to eat my words.
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ...
Holy balls, he's been around four years?
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ...
He pitched in 7 games in 2006 after signing (and after the college season was over), calling that a full professional season is a bit of a stretch.
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ...
I was thinking we first saw him in ST '07, I am mistaken.
Re: He pitched in 7 games in 2006
He pitched 30 innings. And yet he was promoted TWICE in 2006! From Boise to Peoria, and then from Peoria to Daytona at the end of the 2006 season.
And where was anyone saying that he pitched a "full" season as a pro in 2006? It still counts. Just like David Patton's 42 innings this year counts.
The fact remains next year will be Submarginal's 5th season as a pro and he'll be 25.
Re: He pitched in 7 games in 2006
Yes, that fact remains, but I doubt it signifies anything close to what you think it does. Maybe I just don't know what you're driving at here.
Re: Maybe I just don't know what you're driving at here.
Just correcting a misconception. He's not gonna be "young" next year. He's been around twice as long as some people think. He's running out of time. There are only two seasons left on his 5 year contract. Two seasons left to stick with the Cubs in some useful capacity and get the Cubs to exercise their 2012 and 2013 $3.25 million extensions. But he was incredibly mediocre at all levels this year. And that's his second contract by the way. He was originally signed in 2006 to a $1 million bonus, then re-upped in 2007.
Re: Maybe I just don't know what you're driving at here.
"He's not gonna be "young" next year. He's been around twice as long as some people think. He's running out of time."
yeesh. you're some work there, dude.
Re: He pitched in 7 games in 2006
Sorry, he didn't play at Daytona in 2006. Check again. He did not get promoted TWICE. He pitched 19 innings with Boise and then 11 innings at Peoria before going back to football practice and his senior year of college. So he pitched 30 innings in between his collegiate baseball and football seasons. This is qualitatively different than David Patton being limited by injuries over a full February-September major league season. Surely you see that?
Yes, he may turn out to be a bust, but the fact remains that he is YOUNGER than others like Caridad, Berg, Stevens, etc. You should be recommending we get rid of all of these guys then because they are too old and haven't made it yet.
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ...
By all means, everyone who is not Greg Maddux should be cut from the roster and, perhaps, flogged.
Someone was just saying that Samardzija is not Adam Wainwright. Maybe we should note that Adam Wainwright didn't experience success in the majors until he was 24, and didn't start in the majors until he was 25--he was drafted out of high school at age 18.
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ...
Hey navigator, not only can you not spell Samardzija's name you can't count. This is only Samardzija's 3rd year in the pros. So take your stupid Purdue ass and go back to the gold and black site were you belong.
Re: you can't count. This is only Submarginal's 3rd year
= 3 seasons.
Purdue?? gold and black site WTF?
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ...
That is a low blow.
Nav may have been in the engineering program for all you know which means he certainly is not stupid.
Now, if you want to comment on their football team - that is a different matter.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Good to see Cerda showing a little pop, but that is extremely discouraging out of Archer. He is the real wild card for me in the DeRo trade. While Gaub and Stevens both look like they will be big additions to the bullpen as early as next year, if Archer could develop into a #3 starter for us, the trade would definately be a win for us.
In other news, Shark pitched a good game in Mexican ball last night. 6 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 Ks, with tons of ground balls. The 0 walks was the big thing for me, though. Hopefully he works the crap out of his secondary stuff and pushes for the fifth starter spot out of ST.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park

Way Cool. Fastball's are blue, Slider's green, Changeup red.
Beats the hell out of K-Zone.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
When Greg Maddux was 25 he won his 75th game and pitched his 1100th inning as a Cub.

A bit confused.
If he is not under contract - why does the team need "permission"?
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
there's a fight here about whether to count years of samninja service has anything to do anything and how many years it is...
so what?
here's all that matters.
5 year ***MLB*** contact 2007-2011 (aka, use him whenever, whatever, you're paying for the real deal anyway). 2 year CLUB option on him 2012/2013 worth 6.5m COMBINED for both years.
2009 just ended.
4 more years of relatively cheap control.
now everyone try not to piss their pants and deal with the fact that the cubs can cut him loose in 2 years or keep him around for 4.
players getting MLB contracts before they deserve it is part of the process now...like it or not. get used to it.

Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Crunch, you might think you are truly anonymous, but almost all self-publishing portals record the exact date-time an IP address of anonymous postings and judges have ordered ISP's (Interntet Service Providers) reveal the identity of anonymous defamatory bloggers. Anonymity is an illusion, and judges rountinely issue "John Doe" subpoens to ISP's when someone has been CYBER-LIBEL. I strongly suggest you keep such false and defamatory statements to yourself.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
how about i settle out of internet court for 1 million dollars.
you just tell me who to cut a check to, k.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Crunch that's great, just tell me your name and were you live and I will come and pick up the check. You do have a million dollars don't you? You know so much about professional talent you must have been a super star yourself. What level of sports did you play? It just makes me laugh when I read statements by publishers such as you that can't even back up anything they have to say.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
this is fascinating....
isn't crunch's uncle Barry Foote or something? either way I think crunch knows a few folks around the game...not that he really advertises it...
judging by jakester's IP address from Valparaiso, IN(Ninja's hometown)...he's either related to Ninja or grew up with him...
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
So big Rob G., what crunch can't speak for himself so you have to butt your way in. Yeah I live Valpo and I know Ninja so what. I least I don't bad mouth any Cub players like you publishers do. I've been a Cub fan for many years win or lose. I enjoy watching the Cubs on TV and going to the games as much as I can. But I would never lower myself to your guys level and bad mouth the players like you do. See I have never played baseball at any high level and from the insults you guys post I tell you neither of you have either. So there you go. Sorry but I'm going to go and watch some NCAA football.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Go Trojans....
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Yeah, I took the Trojans to cover the spread. Sorry Rob G. but you need to grow up.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
okay, look...maybe im wrong about the "and still is" part. the rest i'll stand behind. i got my stories. if you don't have yours, well...
anyway...i'm gonna go ahead and cut that internet lawsuit settlement check to you.
you PLEASE be sure to get this to the right people. i'm trusting you with this.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Yo Mamma....
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
I fucking HATE publishers!!!!!!!!!
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
The really more important question is, just because you grew up with someone, does that mean that you know everything about him? Have you got some sort of psychic connection so that you know what time he gets to bed every night and who he has spent his evenings with?
It's great that you're a friend, and or a fan of Smardijza's but unless you're his bodyguard, odds are that you don't know what he does and how he conducts himself 1200 miles away from where you two grew up. Not saying that crunch is absolutely right or anything, he's been known to blow some smoke up people's asses on occasion, but you are there first person who has ever claimed to know what everyone in his middle school was doing every night of their mid 20's that I've ever come across.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
This sounds like a threat.
A very stupid threat by a very stupid jerk-off, ohhh i mean jakester.
Goodluck trying to shutdown commentary on the internet. China must be your favorite vacation spot.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
So he acted like a kid with a huge heap of cash who thought he was entitled to something? There really isn't an issue here, is there? Wonder what this guy's problem is. Jeffy never called his daughter back after they did the no-pants dance?
If he got way too drunk way too often, caused a shitload of trouble, and acted like an asshole, he's just one of those super propsects who have millions of dollars guaranteed. There's 3 or 4 of those in every team's farm system.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
no, there isn't an issue, imo. it happens.
if i really wanted to rage on the issue i could tell a few elijah dukes and delmon young stories that would require me to cut a couple $100,000,000 dollar internet lawsuit checks.
kerry wood did it, too...he turned out just fine. as long as you show up ready to play and the media isn't noticing you enough to put it in print it's all good.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
If he is not under contract - why does the team need "permission"?
I've read that his current contract ends 10/31/09, so officially he needs permission to talk to other clubs before that date.
Speaking of sponsors...
i was going to post milton's...
In appreciation of Sean Forman, B-R and MB sponsor(s) this page.
B-R made it easy to realize that MB's 284/402/443 between April 28 and September 4 didn't tank the Cubs' season. Too bad the Chicago media don't use it. The 0.5% of Cubs fans who see beyond batting average and RBI wish you the best of luck.
also from the TBS broadcast, Torre talking about Padilla
"if one guy can come in and disrupt your clubhouse chemistry, it wasn't that good to begin with."
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
me and torre agree on something...scary. it also needed to be said by someone. too bad the local chicago press (some) were too busy with other milton-related celebrations to actually bring that up.
btw...it seems there was no clubhouse leader for the season that just finished. that said, it seems that way because wood used to be the guy with the pitchers and dero acted as that guy for the cubs bats...wood and dero also did a killer job running quotes/stories for the press to take the crap off all the other guys. dero saved dlee (a pretty boring guy when it comes to reporters/press) a lot of crap last year as well as almost all the rest of the team.
it's not even like dero/wood were these strong wiley rock-hard oldschool veterans or something...they just didn't mind getting up there and doing the things non-field related they felt needed to be done and the rest of the team seemed to respond well to it.
no one stepped up this year and it seems like stuff festered pretty badly while everyone sat around and watched it happen.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
"B-R made it easy to realize that MB's 284/402/443 between April 28 and September 4 didn't tank the Cubs' season..."
Only 40 rbi to go along with those numbers tell a different story.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
speaking of...why is sam fuld even in the bigs? he obviously has no value to a mlb club. the rbi's speak for themselves. he projects for 10-15 RBI seasons. is hendry asleep at the switch? and why is lou giving this guy ab's?
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
It's for his ability to stay on the field... nope that's not it either, is it? For his career he's hit .200 with RISP, yet he can make an out with guys on base and not be booed - it's really perplexing to me.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
seriously, though...if the club is looking to shave loot...unless they want fuld involved in some kind of trade i could live without reed johnson with fuld around.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
I thought shaving loot was illegal? I remember trying that in high school and I couldn't sit down for a week.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
There's worse things that can happen to the roster than having Fuld as a 5th outfielder (Johnson as a 4th outfielder/platoon center fielder being one of them), but there's the issue of his inability to stay healthy, so you need a backup plan for your 5th outfielder, which seems a bit silly when you say it.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
I'd like to see the Cubs find a way to keep Brad Snyder around.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
"if one guy can come in and disrupt your clubhouse chemistry, it wasn't that good to begin with."
No shit. You certainly don't improve it with Milton Bradley.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
"if one guy can come in and disrupt your clubhouse chemistry, it wasn't that good to begin with."
maybe someone can figure out the chemistry equation using the NHL +/- on ice scoring system...
net change = -wood-derosa + (-bradley) = -3
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
I agree, and every team should have a goon they can send out there to charge the mound when they're getting schooled.

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.

Beacuse you can't expect to stay at the level of firepower we had that season. For example, Zetterberg's contract was 2.8 or so I believe? The salary cap doesn't allow you to keep it. The best way to get back to that level is draft high end talent and win while they're still on entry-level contracts. Unfortunately that's not particularly easy to do, especially with how late we draft.
It's a lot more possible when you stop trying to run 2 scoring lines and 2 checking lines. That's basically what we had last year, and the grit was spread too thin over the bottom 2 lines and neither was of any consequence. One or two guys in the lineup who are more geared to scoring would be all it takes to set up three dedicated scoring lines, that brings back the offensive depth and helps run the opposing team's D-Corp more ragged.
It can be done, and I say it should be done.

Federal Courts (LAW-643-001)
There are no notices at this time.
Federal Courts examines the role of the federal judiciary in the American political system. The course thus has a dual focus on the sharing of power between the federal courts and the other two branches of the federal government (separation of powers) and the allocation of power between the federal and state judicial systems (federalism).

A group of local residents who are trying to preserve the old Amerock building for future redevelopment had a good day in Springfield last week.
An application from the Friends of Ziock to have the building added to the National Register of Historic Places received unanimous support from the Illinois Historic Site Advisory Council.
The application previously won the unanimous support of the Rockford Historic Preservation Commission, and now goes to the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, which makes the final recommendation.
According to the group, the state's advisory council praised the nomination.
Historic status would open to the door to application for historic tax credits to help fund the building's redevelopment.
The group calls itself Friends of Ziock after the building's original owner, William Ziock. The group's work hasn't been without criticism.
Some would rather see the building torn down. The city bought it and a neighboring building last year with plans to tear them both down and use the riverfront space to expand Davis Park. Those plans are on hold as the Friends' application makes its way to Washington, D.C.
If building is placed on the national registry, it becomes more difficult for a municipality or entity to demolish it. Documented efforts of revitalization must be provided.
The Friends would like to see the building turned into� a mixed-use facility featuring everything from hotel rooms and residential units to retail, office and entertainment.

The Qpid 0.6 release introduced a simplistic producer-side flow control mechanism into the Java Messaging Broker, causing producers to be flow-controlled when they attempt to send messages to an overfull queue. Qpid 0.18 introduced a similar mechanism triggered by an overfull persistent message store on a virtual host.
Flow control is enabled on a producer when it sends a message to a Queue which is "overfull". The producer flow control will be rescinded when all Queues on which a producer is blocking become "underfull". A Queue is defined as overfull when the size (in bytes) of the messages on the queue exceeds the "capacity" of the Queue. A Queue becomes "underfull" when its size becomes less than the "flowResumeCapacity".
Examples how to configure flow control in virtual host configuration are provided in Section 14.11, "Configuring of Producer Flow Control".
Where no flowResumeCapacity is set, the flowResumeCapacity is set to be equal to the capacity. Where no capacity is set, capacity is defaulted to 0 meaning there is no capacity limit.
There are four new Broker log messages that may occur if flow control through queue capacity limits is enabled. Firstly, when a capacity limited queue becomes overfull, a log message similar to the following is produced
MESSAGE [vh(/test)/qu(MyQueue)] [vh(/test)/qu(MyQueue)] QUE-1003 : Overfull : Size : 1,200 bytes, Capacity : 1,000
Then for each channel which becomes blocked upon the overful queue a log message similar to the following is produced:
MESSAGE [con:2(guest@anonymous(713889609)/test)/ch:1] [con:2(guest@anonymous(713889609)/test)/ch:1] CHN-1005 : Flow Control Enforced (Queue MyQueue)
When enough messages have been consumed from the queue that it becomes underfull, then the following log is generated:
MESSAGE [vh(/test)/qu(MyQueue)] [vh(/test)/qu(MyQueue)] QUE-1004 : Underfull : Size : 600 bytes, Resume Capacity : 800
And for every channel which becomes unblocked you will see a message similar to:
MESSAGE [con:2(guest@anonymous(713889609)/test)/ch:1] [con:2(guest@anonymous(713889609)/test)/ch:1] CHN-1006 : Flow Control Removed
Obviously the details of connection, virtual host, queue, size, capacity, etc would depend on the configuration in use.
Since version 0.18 of Qpid Broker, flow control can be triggered when a configured disk quota is exceeded. This is supported by the BDB and Derby message stores.
This functionality blocks all producers on reaching the disk overflow limit. When consumers consume the messages, causing disk space usage to falls below the underflow limit, the producers are unblocked and continue working as normal.
Two limits can be configured:
overfull limit - the maximum space on disk (in bytes) which can be used by store.
underfull limit - when the space on disk drops below this limit, producers are allowed to resume publishing.
An example how to configure disk quota-based flow control in virtual host configuration is provided in Section 14.12, "Configuring of Disk Quota-based Flow Control".
The disk quota functionality is based on "best effort" principle. This means the broker cannot guarantee that the disk space limit will not be exceeded. If several concurrent transactions are started before the limit is reached, which collectively cause the limit to be exceeded, the broker may allow all of them to be committed.
There are 2 new broker log messages that may occur if flow control through disk quota limits is enabled. When the virtual host is blocked due to exceeding of the disk quota limit the following message appears in the broker log
[vh(/test)/ms(BDBMessageStore)] MST-1008 : Store overfull, flow control will be enforced
When virtual host is unblocked after cleaning the disk space the following message appears in the broker log
[vh(/test)/ms(BDBMessageStore)] MST-1009 : Store overfull condition cleared
If a producer sends to a queue which is overfull, the broker will respond by instructing the client not to send any more messages. The impact of this is that any future attempts to send will block until the broker rescinds the flow control order.
While blocking the client will periodically log the fact that it is blocked waiting on flow control.
WARN Message send delayed by 5s due to broker enforced flow control WARN Message send delayed by 10s due to broker enforced flow control
After a set period the send will timeout and throw a JMSException to the calling code.
If such a JMSException is thrown, the message will not be sent to the broker, however the underlying Session may still be active - in particular if the Session is transactional then the current transaction will not be automatically rolled back. Users may choose to either attempt to resend the message, or to roll back any transactional work and close the Session.
Both the timeout delay and the periodicity of the warning messages can be set using Java system properties.
The amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait before timing out is controlled by the property qpid.flow_control_wait_failure.
The frequency at which the log message informing that the producer is flow controlled is sent is controlled by the system property qpid.flow_control_wait_notify_period.
Adding the following to the command line to start the client would result in a timeout of one minute, with warning messages every ten seconds:
-Dqpid.flow_control_wait_failure=60000 -Dqpid.flow_control_wait_notify_period=10000
The flow control feature was first added to the Java broker/client in the 0.6 release. If an older client connects to the broker then the flow control commands will be ignored by it and it will not be blocked. So to fully benefit from this feature both Client and Broker need to be at least version 0.6.

Two wireless microphones aren't going to take you far in today's world of high school musical performances.
But those two mics compose East Aurora High School's "sound system," if you could describe it as that.
That's why school officials, parents and students are trying to change that.
It's a tall order. Though the district doesn't have a solid idea of how much it would truly cost to have a sound system that would enhance its school musicals, pops concerts, graduation, National Honor Society inductions and other events, it's guessing it could cost around $135,000. One informal bid came in at that level out of six potential providers whom the district spoke with.
"It's very important to give the kids the opportunity to explore 21st century technology and to enhance the wonderful things that are going on in our music program," said Paul Blackwell, the middle and high schools choral teacher and general music teacher.
So far, a grass-roots effort in the community has raised about $12,000 since June – through a spaghetti dinner, private donations and a poinsettia sale. "So, we have a long way to go," High School Principal Jay Hoagland said. "For our general purposes, the system is fine. But it isn't very good for our musicals or pops concerts."
The effort is not short on will, nor determination.
"Our parents' goal is to continue to raise money for a long-term project that can last a long time and serve a lot of different choral and instrumental groups," Blackwell said.
One resident, Frieda Whitney, recently donated $5,000 to the cause. She has two grandchildren in East Aurora Middle School and hopes that by the time they get to the high school, they'll have a new sound system.
Then there is Elisabeth Engle, a senior, whom Blackwell has praised for organizing a Broadway weekend in October at Firefly Cupcakes. The event generated about $153.
"There's a student who raised all that money and coordinated the effort for a sound system that she'll never use," Blackwell said of Engle.
When the district performs its high school musicals, it has to rent a sound system, which can easily cost more than $5,000 a year for various events.
The need is great. For example, the musical could use about 20 wireless microphones and additional lines for special effects. With this year's "Into The Woods" production, lines are needed to help create the sound of trees crashing and giants stumbling. The musical, to be presented Feb. 8-10, involves more than 100 students.
"We'd like to continue raising money and maybe buy so many wireless mics at a time and do it piecemeal – or make it part of a capital project," Blackwell said. "Otherwise, it would be a lengthy wait."
Superintendent Brian D. Russ doesn't want to see that happen if there's a way for the district to help. "We know it will be a significant investment, and I hope the district can help," he said.
"It's not a great time to be out raising money, but we're cautiously optimistic that we can raise money and make it happen in the next few years," Hoagland said.

The United States and Canada have preliminarily agreed that American personnel may inspect Buffalo-bound trucks in Fort Erie, Ont., as part of a long- sought plan to improve traffic flow across the Peace Bridge.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., announced the pilot agreement Monday after yearlong negotiations involving the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and its Canadian counterpart.
The plan calls for the Peace Bridge to serve as one of two experimental border crossings for 18 months beginning in late December, though the details of allowing armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection officers to operate in Canada – a major sticking point in previous negotiations – have yet to be determined.
Still, sources close to the talks say the two governments have agreed to one of two options. One involves allowing U.S. law enforcement officers to carry guns on Canadian soil but be subject to stringent Canadian laws and regulations. The sources say that plan could receive tough scrutiny from the officers' union.
Another option would allow armed Canadian law enforcement personnel to accompany U.S. officers during inspections in Fort Erie, similar to current U.S. operations at major Canadian airports, including Pearson International in Toronto. Either way, the sources say Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has assured negotiators the plan is virtually certain to be implemented.
The pilot program will initially involve only the Peace Bridge and another international crossing that sources say is located in the State of Washington, with an eye toward a permanent arrangement that will require the approval of Congress and Parliament. The Washington State program is expected to begin first, followed by the larger scale effort on the Peace Bridge.
Homeland Security spokesman Peter Boogaard said initiation of the pilot program requires a bilateral memorandum of understanding expected to be completed soon by Homeland Security and Public Safety Canada, working with Customs and Border Protection and the Canada Border Services Agency.
"[Homeland Security] does not anticipate any obstacles preventing completion of the MOU in short order," he said.
Schumer said the move will not only expedite traffic across the international span but boost trade and tourism, too.
"Now that the pilot program is in place, I will continue to work hard to ensure that the program has all the resources it needs to be successful, so that preclearance can become permanent down the road for Peace Bridge motorists," he said. "The announcement of the pilot program is a two-way victory for Western New York and Canadian businesses."
Eliminating the truck bottleneck on the Peace Bridge has proved an elusive goal for many years. Local officials have always expressed interest in how such a "preclearance" arrangement on the Canadian side of the Niagara River could ease long lines on the bridge and eliminate idling trucks on the current Buffalo plaza.
The issue also becomes especially important as the Peace Bridge Authority looks to soon build a new inspections plaza on the U.S. side.
Schumer said Monday the latest development will allow the authority to consider all sorts of design options for the Buffalo plaza.
"By doing inspections on the Canadian side, it gives the people designing the New York side far more flexibility," he said Monday, adding that much more room for inspecting trucks is available in Fort Erie.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, also have been active in seeking the program for Buffalo and Fort Erie.
Cuomo said in July that placing the preclearance program in Fort Erie would represent an "early win" for the "Beyond the Border" agreement announced last year by President Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, designed to further encourage trade between the nations.
Napolitano said in February 2011 that obstacles surrounding the question of armed U.S. personnel in Canada would prevent any preclearance agreement. "It cannot be done," she said.
But Schumer and other U.S. officials refused to let the issue die, leading Washington hearings on the subject, meeting with Canadian Ambassador Gary Doer and speaking by telephone with Foreign Minister John Baird and Minister of Public Safety Vic Towes.
Schumer said that in order for the pilot program to be become permanent, it must prove successful in expediting traffic, trade and tourism between the United States and Canada, with no adverse impact on security.
He said Congress and Parliament must then pass laws that permanently govern the "privileges and immunities" of U.S. and Canadian personnel connected with the program.
Once the U.S. and Canadian governments agree to language on a permanent framework, Schumer said, he assured Homeland Security and the Canadian government that he will spearhead the effort for passage of permanent legislation in the Senate.

Regeneron acquired full exclusive rights to two families of antibodies invented at the company's labs, but previously included in its antibody collaboration with Sanofi.
Acquired by Regeneron were full rights to antibodies targeting the PDGF (platelet derived growth factor) family of receptors and ligands, in ophthalmology and all other indications; and to antibodies targeting the ANG2 (angiopoietin2) receptor and ligand in ophthalmology. Antibodies to PDGF and ANG2 are currently in preclinical development for use in ophthalmology, according to the company.
For the PDGF antibodies, Regeneron agreed to pay Sanofi $10 million up front, up to $40 million in payments tied to undisclosed development milestones, and royalties on sales. Regeneron will also pay Sanofi $10 million up front, a potential $5 million development milestone payment, and royalties on sales for the rights to ANG2 antibodies in ophthalmology.
Outside of ophthalmology, antibodies to ANG2 will continue to be developed by Regeneron and Sanofi. Those antibodies include REGN910 (SAR 307746), an antibody to ANG2 that is now in two Phase I trials in patients with advanced malignancies.
According to ClinicalTrials.gov, patients are being recruited for both studies: One is designed to determine the maximum tolerable dose or recommended Phase II dose of REGN 910 (SAR 307746) in patients with advanced solid malignancies; the other is a multiple-dose Phase Ib study of the antibody in combination with aflibercept (ziv-aflibercept in the U.S.).
The PDGF and ANG2 antibody families fit with one of Regeneron's areas of disease focus, eye disorders. In November 2011, the company joined Bayer HealthCare in launching the recombinant fusion protein Eylea (aflibercept), an injection drug for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and macular edema following central retinal vein occlusion. Last year the drug racked up $837.9 million in net product sales, enabling Regeneron to triple its 2012 revenue compared with 2011, to nearly $1.4 billion.

Journal entry: December 24, 1985 (age 16)
On Christmas Eve, all the Mollens gather at my parents' house for egg nog, Andy Williams Christmas albums, and a gift exchange. Unlike many big families, we don't pull names out of a hat to determine who will give gifts to whom. Everybody gets something for everyone, even on a paperboy's budget. The Christmas tips on my route were pretty good this year, so I was able to splurge a bit.
My oldest brother, Jerry, and his wife, Beth, have two kids. Jennifer is 6, and her little brother, Michael, is 3. Remembering how exciting it was to open gifts at their age, I was looking forward to their reactions. Tonight, as the family assembled in front of the tree in the living room, Jerry pointed to the biggest package in the room. "Look, Jennifer, this big one is for you! It's from Uncle Tim!" Jennifer's eyes lit up, and in an impressive show of maturity, she happily blurted out that she would save that one for last.
The usual cacophony of ripping paper, shouted thank-yous, and laughter filled the room. As the pile of unopened gifts became dwarfed by the piles of discarded gift wrap, both Jennifer and I got more excited about that big box in the corner. Little Michael had already opened the motorized truck I bought for him, and now he, too, was eager to see the super-big present his sister had gotten.
Jennifer squealed with delight as she attacked the box, ripping the wrapping from it in a frenzy. Once it was uncovered, she slumped a bit in front of it. "What is it?," she murmured hopefully. I said, "It's a Bubble Mower! You push it around like a lawn mower, and it blows soap bubbles…" My voice trailed off as I caught a pained expression on her mother's face. Beth softly said, "Oh…that's what Michael wanted."
This revelation caused an immediate uproar. My beautiful, redheaded peanut of a niece collapsed in a puddle of tears. Parents and grandparents launched into action, with a storm of hugs and reassurances, but Jennifer was inconsolable. The sight of her clearly overjoyed little brother tackling the box with a shout of "All right!" brought on fresh waves of tears.
As Jerry and Beth whisked Jennifer away to a secluded, mowerless location, there was a much-too-short silence in the room. Smirks crept onto the faces of my other four brothers. "Way to go, Tim," said Dan. This was followed quickly by John's observation that I had "ruined Christmas." Bob wondered out loud if he could look forward to me giving him a "My Pretty Pony" next year. Brother Jim, legendary for his own tacky Christmas gifts, lauded me as this year's undisputed champ of terrible gift-giving. Amid the rising laughter, Mom tried to defend me, saying there was no way for me to know that a 6-year-old girl would have no interest in pretending to do yard work. By the end of this statement, she too was unable to contain her laughter. I returned her smile as she put her arm around me.

"Green Day Rocks Broadway," the half-hour behind-the-scenes documentary of the new Broadway musical American Idiot, will air on MTV, its website and subsidiary channels beginning April 16 at 7 PM ET.
American Idiot is currently in previews on Broadway with an official opening April 20. As previously reported, the show has joined forces with MTV in a month-long media blitz to promote the Green Day-penned musical and introduce some fans of the band to its newest endeavor. There was a week-long sweepstakes earlier this month that will give 300 fans the chance to attend the show's April 22 performance and the premiere of Green Day's latest video, "Last of the American Girls." The half-hour documentary won't reveal the entire show, but it will give fans a peek at the creation of Broadway's latest rock musical, based on the 2004 Green Day album of the same name.
In anticipation, check out this clip of the recording session for "21 Guns," one of the songs in American Idiot from Green Day's most recent album, "21st Century Breakdown."

Assenza di wi-fi, sono stato per tutto il mio soggiorno senza internet. La casa e' molto carina e disposta bene ma pulizia scarsa ovunque. Rapporto qualita'-prezzo non buono abbastanza caro per quello che offre, non e' un appartamento charm ma chip. Nel complesso esperienza abbastanza positiva.

I was very pleased to find the apartment exactly as descibed: cosy clean interior, change of bed and bath linen availabable in plenty and Emanuele helpful to carry my luggage to 2nd floor. Beach, small shops, 7/11, tourist info center, restaurants all within walking distance. For longer distance destinations it's easy to grab bus or taxi on Washington Rd. Crowd around 9th is more young & casual, hostel at 100m from apt. No street noise. Good choice!

The Regal Plaid Robe: Eileen West quality and construction without all the lace and frills.
Rated 4.4 out of 5Â by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by hoosier shopgirl Total Comfort In past years I have purchased several robes , only to find the fit was wrong, the weight too heavy, or too light. This one was perfect and I have worn it every day since my purchase and ordered another one for a gift. I have never purchased anything from your store that I was dissatisfied with. Thank you for being there. February 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by radiohead Perfect Robe for Houston Winter I've been looking for the primo robe for early morning and this is it! Heavyweight soft flannel, enough fabric to wrap around and keep my lower legs warm - perfect ! February 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Irish Czech The best robe There are many things that I love about this robe. Attention to detail on the collar of the robe, the wonderful size pockets & the ties that are not through a loop. I have searched high & low for this robe. Eileen West is the best, I have other sleeping gowns that will last for a long time. February 8, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by grandma vic Nice lightweight robe This robe is overall pretty and I am glad I have it; the plaid is woven into the fabric rather than printed on. The plaids do not match however. It is not a warm robe if that is what you are looking for. It is lightweight brushed cotton not heavy flannel; I bought it to wear out of the shower and it is fine. I did purchase it purposefully oversized to avoid gappage. That means the arms are really long, about 4 inches past my fingertips so I have to roll them up quite a bit. It has inner ties and the belt is permanent--with a waist band in the back. Side pockets would have been ideal rather than patch pockets. The mauve velvet ribbon trim is really a nice feature around collar and cuffs--except with the sleeves rolled you cannot see it. Since it is cotton it wrinkles. The front belt loop had to be re-sewn as it was not stitched in correctly, just hanging loose and served no purpose. Overall a bit pricey for the quality I think--but not so bad that I would send it back. October 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by HP LOVE this robe! I love my new Eileen West robe! It is absolutely stunning to look at, but when you put it on and touch the flannel, it has a supremely soft hand. The quality of both the flannel and the construction are superb, and the details are beautiful. Oh, and it is warm, too for these Chicago temperature fluctuations. May 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Frequent coffee drinker fills the bill My old flannel bathrobe was getting pretty worn in spots, so I hunted around for a new one. This one has the ties attached, so they won't get lost. Washed it once and I didn't seem to shrink as much as I had expected. The back is gathered at the waist, which means it can be fully wrapped in front and not blowsy in the back. The fabric weight is what you usually get, maybe not as heavy as one might like if your house is cold. February 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Tgene warm robe It's a little short waisted for me but OK still comfortable, washed up fine in cold water and warm dryer. February 12, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by sotisse Material is too thin I was hoping to find a long, flannel robe for the cold winter weather. This robe, however, is not it. It is pretty and is constructed well, but when I held the robe to the light, I could see through it. This is just too thin to keep me warm. February 12, 2014

Salem council still looking at ladder truck funding options
July 31, 2013
SALEM — City Auditor Betty Brothers suggested moving $60,000 left over from a grant to rehire two firefighters to a fund for a new fire department ladder truck....
I believe Salem has a Class 1 rating which affects everyone of us for fire insurance,
This is based on many factors . I know that includes a ladder truck of some kind,
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I heard a guy make the comment that the reason to buy this truck was because of the height of the new hospital building.He said something about the hospitals insurance cost would be sky high unless the city had a ladder truck that would reach the upper floors.

Watchdog. You are absolutely correct. Most elected officials have no experience purchasing items worth this kind of money. Expert unbiased assistance would pay for itself.
5 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Do you know what is the most watched procurement made by any municipality when it comes to expenditures of tax dollar funding? Fire trucks.
I think it's time to strengthen some local ethics requirements in this city and maybe enhance Public Transparency and Disclosure. Do you know what the number one hindering problem is when it comes to this type of expenditure. Municipalities just like city councils that are the "dark" and blind trust. That bid process can make or break municipality especially when the possibility of an investigation into the procurement occurs "after the fact". That's why States encourage municipalities to seek advice when it comes this type of procurement. It is amazing what a community analysis can make a difference not only when "Fighting fires but PREVENTING FIRES" and equipment that may or many NOT be needed.
Maybe it's time for city council to exam all aspects for this expenditure at had.

My dermatologist is recommending Mohs surgery to remove a basal cell cancer on my nose. What does this involve?
Mohs micrographic surgery is named after Frederic Mohs, who developed the technique in the 1930s. It's a specialized surgical procedure used to eliminate skin cancers that spread locally – but do not spread through the body – and are likely to return unless all the cancer is cut out.
The surgeon removes the cancerous tissue layer by layer, examining each layer under a microscope, until the outer edge of the removed layer – the margin – is free of cancer cells.
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes two to four hours. Much of that time is spent waiting while the removed tissue is analyzed.
The good news is that the cure rate for basal cell skin cancers with Mohs surgery is close to 100 percent.
