Charles Leander Bumpus Jones was born on January 1, 1870 in Cedarville, Ohio. He is credited with throwing the first no-hitter in Cincinnati Reds history on October 15, 1892.
Bumpuss origins are a little unclear. His birth certificate lists his birth year as 1870, yet he is listed as being 8 years old on an 1880 census. He appears to have been born out of wedlock as there is no fathers name listed on record. In terms of ethnicity, his birth certificate lists him as mulatto but his death certificate lists him as white.
Regardless of this confusion, there is nothing unclear about his early talent with throwing the ball. In 1889, he began making regular trips to Cincinnati by train to play for semi-pro teams. Some accounts have it that he would be paid an average of 6-8 dollars per game. To put this into perspective, in 1890 the average weekly wage (60 hours) for a laborer was $9. The Xenia Gazette covered a game between Xenia and Cedarville in September when Jones tossed a no-hitter for Cedarville.
In October 1892, the Cincinnati Red Stockings came to Cedarville to play the local team in an exhibition game. Jones came in during the seventh came in to pitch, with the Reds leading 9-0. Jones shut them down without a hit. The Wilmington Democrat stated that Jones was invited by Charles Comiskey to come to Cincinnati and pitch on Saturday October 15, the final day of the regular season. This would also be the last time the pitcher's mound was at fifty feet. Following this game, the mound would be moved back to 606. For this game, Bumpus faced a powerful, veteran Pirates team that featured Connie Mack. A nervous Jones walked the first two batters, but then coaxed a grounder that was turned into a double play. In the second inning, Jones walked another batter, but he was again saved by another double play. He was not so lucky in the third inning when another walk led to a scored a run as Jones threw a bunt attempt into right field. According to the Commercial Gazettes that ended the run-getting of the visitors and not one of the Pittsburgs reached first base in the six closing innings." The Reds scored 2 in the fifth and went on to a 7-1 victory. Bumpus had thrown the first no-hitter in Cincinnatis history. It was his first career game, the final game of the season, and currently its still the latest calendar date for a no-hitter.
According to Bill James, Jones edges out Bobo Holloman of the St. Louis Browns, for the distinction of being the mathematically least likely pitcher ever to have thrown a no-hitter in the major leagues.
Jones split 1893 between Cincinnati and the New York Giants. Following 1893, Bumpus would find employment in the Western League for the remainder of the decade pitching for Sioux City and Grand Rapids. Bumpus was the ace for Grand Rapids, compiling an 11-20 record for a team that won only 38 games. He also became a fan favorite for his bizarre antics on the field. The Indianapolis paper reports that in one game he went into a "delirium" at the plate and shook and wobbled to unhinge the opposing pitcher. The ploy worked as Jones was walked.
Jones died on June 25, 1938 in Xenia, Ohio.

Roger Phillips (born 1932)
Winter Aconite, Eranthis hyemalis
Plate from 'Wild Flowers of Britain'
Published in London in 1977 Photograph
© Roger Phillips
Museum no. E.578.2-1994.
This photograph is one of a series Roger Phillips produced for the 1977 field guide Wild Flowers of Britain. Moving away from the established practice of arranging species by plant family, the photographer thought his field guide would be of more use to the amateur naturalist if the plates were organised according to flowering season.
Interestingly, though it might be imagined that photography would have rendered botanical drawing redundant, the camera lens cannot draw out important features in the same way that the artist's pencil can.

Rich is sporting the perfect shirt for today's WOD
A long time ago a trainer in Santa Cruz named Greg Glassman became notorious for his short intense workouts. People would come in, look at the whiteboard, see a 21-15-9 couplet, ask "Is that all?" 30 minutes later they'd stagger out to the parking lot, lay on the hood of their car, and then muster up the energy to drive home. Classic couplets were why CrossFit's original mascot was Pukey the clown and the first CrossFit shirts said "Mess You Up." Today's WOD is the equivalent of a globo-gym goers bench press. Anywhere you go in the world you'll meet CrossFitters and eventually they'll ask you: "What's your Fran time?" After today, you'll know.
The Almost Free Back to School Boot Camp page is done, look for an email in your inbox on Wednesday. If you have friends interested in CrossFit this is a great way to expose them to the awesomeness that is constantly varied functional movement at high intensity!

Insufficiency may occur in each of the cardiac valves. Involvement of the pulmonary and tricuspid valves is much less common than involvement of the valves on the left side of the heart. Moreover, pulmonary insufficiency occurs only rarely as a primary disease. It is usually an incidental complication of pulmonary hypertension. Likewise, tricuspid insufficiency does not often occur as an isolated disturbance. It may complicate atrial septal defect, but more frequently is associated with significant rheumatic disease of the aortic and mitral valves. For these reasons I shall discuss only aortic and mitral insufficiency.
Incompetence at the Aortic Valve
The diastolic pressure of the systemic arterial system depends on (1) the volume of systemic flow in a given time, (2) the resistance to flow, and (3) the competence of the aortic valve. All other factors being equal, if the peripheral resistance is low, the diastolic pressure is low. Likewise, if

The information I get the gameswebsite from an insider. The multiplayer mode of Dragon Age is basedon the Frostbite 2 engine, which even for Battlefield 3 and Need forSpeed: The Run is used.
Players are also able to play a dragonspitting fire and can fly through the air. Whether the mode is beingsold as a standalone title, or is only available as downloadablecontent, also did not know the insider. The multiplayer part is to bedesigned to allow users to play both in PVE and computer-controlledenemies in PvP mode against each other. The dragon-mentioned featureis probably a part of the PVP system. Also, a new offshoot of theDead Space series had some insider information.
So shall the third part is no longerset on third-person perspective, but to trust the old-person shooterperspective. There will be loud inside even a cooperative mode. Howis this supposed to be built is yet unknown. Some time ago the firstrumors came on about a third of the series is located on an iceplanet. This insider confirmed in an interview with games website. Inaddition, the developer of the Dead Space series with a plane "flyinggame" continue, in which one can steer spaceships.

That's because Jay Sean himself snuck up behind them and joined them onstage Monday after they won the musical competition.
"When they called me up and said if Nota win, we would love for you to come out, surprise them and sing your song with them, I said, 'Oh my God, of course I will," Jay Sean tells PEOPLE. "But one thing I knew, and I told them, was, 'Guys, you do realize there's actually no backing music. They are the music.' So if they get surprised, which they will be, they'll stop singing! There will just be silence! Luckily, they're all such pros and they just kicked back in and we had fun."
A stunned and elated Nota, who traveled from Puerto Rico to compete, also received a congratulatory text message from Ricky Martin upon their win over Tufts University singers the Beelzebubs.
"We're just grateful we were able to bring our music and that people enjoyed it," says Nota member David Pinto, 25. "The competition was so tight," adds Edgar Rios, 34. "All the groups were so amazing in their own style, and we're really thankful for the fans and the people who voted for us. It's amazing."
Jose Rodriguez, 37, says, "We've been waiting for this for so many years. We are very passionate. This is the opportunity we've been dreaming of and are honored to be a part of this great show. We are so grateful."
The short, four-episode series on NBC featured the talents of eight a cappella groups from around the country and offered the winner a $ 100,000 prize and a recording contract from Sony. Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls, Shawn Stockman from Boyz II Men, and singer-songwriter Ben Folds were judges.
"I've traveled and recorded university a cappella groups because I'm so interested in hearing people sing together," says Folds. "This was an opportunity to help push them into the limelight. One of my missions in this was to let them show what an experience it is to be in the middle of people singing together and how a cappella music can separate itself from where pop music has gone, which is awesome, but as a more human experience."
In the finale audience were stars Jack Black, Masi Oka and Peter Gallagher.

So in mid-2009 I created the name Deafmens; at first this project was a duo but now I'm working on my own, having good feedback from people all over the planet.

Like a kid at a community swimming pool, the Houston Rockets enter free agency anxiously awaiting their opportunity to make a big splash.
General manager Daryl Morey has his heart set on drastically improving the team this summer. That's why you hear the Rockets linked to every notable free agent from LeBron James to Carmelo Anthony.
Houston's main area of focus appears to be on the wing. The Rockets struggled with trying to stop opposing scorers on the perimeter this past season. Also, starting small forward Chandler Parsons is a restricted free agent this summer.
While the Rockets could go over the cap to retain him, their willingness to match offers for the talented 25-year-old probably comes within reason. If the Florida product were to get a max offer from another team, Houston may balk at the price tag.
Beyond the need at small forward, the Rockets will be in the market for a backup center. The team agreed to send former backup big man Omer Asik to the New Orleans Pelicans for a future first-round pick, per ESPN's Brian Windhorst. That deal will become official once New Orleans clears enough cap space to fit Asik's salary.
The free agents in this article are all players that Houston has expressed some level of interest in. They are listed by the team's chances of landing them, from least likely to most likely.

Young Australia quick Pat Cummins will make his long-awaited return from injury in unlikely circumstances when he appears for the Northern Ireland Cricket Academy in Belfast tomorrow.
The 20-year-old, regarded as one of Australia's brightest young pace prospects, will pull on an Irish shirt after an agreement between Cricket Australia and Cricket Ireland.
Cummins has already been in Belfast as a non-playing member of the Australia A squad that completed a 93-run win over Ireland in their four-day game at the weekend.
But following discussions, it was agreed to allow Cummins, who has not played since October last year due to stress fractures in his back, to appear in two matches over the next three days.
Cummins will play in tomorrow's match against MCC before switching allegiance two days later to play against Ireland Under-19s, who are preparing for their World Cup qualifiers in August.
"It's a fantastic opportunity for the young players to play with and against someone of the calibre of Pat Cummins," Ireland Under-19 coach Ryan Eagleson said.
"It'll be a wonderful experience for them and help in their cricketing development. I know they're all excited and can't wait for the matches to start."
Cummins burst on to the international scene in November 2011 when he was man of the match in his only Test as Australia clinched a series-levelling win against South Africa in Johannesburg.
Injury has since prevented Cummins from adding to his single cap, during which he claimed 6-79 in the second innings before hitting the winning runs.

Examples of abscond in a sentence
The suspect absconded to Canada.

Did You Know?
First appearing in English in the 16th century, abscond derives from Latin abscondere, meaning "to hide away," a product of the prefix ab- and condere, a verb meaning "to conceal." (Condere is also the root for recondite, a word meaning "concealed" as well as "hard to understand" or "obscure.") In general usage, abscond refers to any act of running away and hiding (usually from the law and often with funds), but, in legal circles, the word is used specifically when someone who has already become the focus of a legal proceeding hides or takes off in order to evade the legal process (as in "absconded from parole").

Sweet Dreams
Raea Palmieri wasn't entirely happy when her family moved from their suburban Cleveland home last spring. It didn't matter that the new house was right next door — the 9-year-old simply didn't want to give up her bedroom, a sunny space featuring a vine-covered playhouse with a shingled roof, shuttered windows, Dutch door and picket fence built along one entire wall. So her interior-designer mother, Libby Palmieri, sweetened the deal: She proposed decorating Raea's new room ...

Frontier Drama
More than 250 years ago, when our state was a wild frontier, a spot northeast of Piqua was the fault line between two massive geopolitical forces — France and England, which began playing out their dreams of world dominion in the distant forests of Ohio. Today, that field along the Great Miami River is quiet and still, dotted with rolled hay bales and a full mile from the nearest historical marker that explains the bloody clash that happened here. This was the site of a large Miami Indian village ...
Modern Day Audubon
If the sight of a 10-year-old boy carrying a .22-caliber rifle and sketch pad concerned other passengers on the Cincinnati streetcar, they never mentioned it to him. After all, it was 1934, the height of the Great Depression. And if the boy with the mop of hair and big smile returned home from his adventures near the Ohio River with a brace of rabbits, more power to him. The sketchpad may have puzzled the passengers a bit more. Whatever he hunted or fished or observed, the boy wanted to draw. Nat...

Overfilled squirt bottles sloshed around in a pool of barbecue sauce at the bottom of my bus tub.

Everyone needs to work in a restaurant, at least for a little while. It will make you a better person. And it certainly will make you a better customer — more sensitive, more polite, more generous.

The memories of that experience came flooding back like a glass of spilled milk after reading Jessica Esemplare's co...

Police: Mom, 17, charged after bizarre incident with baby at Reading High School
Police say a 17-year-old mother is in hot water after her 4-month-old baby was injured in a bizarre incident at Reading High School.
It happened at around 12:50 Tuesday afternoon.
Officials say the girl got angry inside the guidance counselor's office and began tossing her baby like "a rag doll."
They say the mother left the office and kicked over a trash can outside.
She then accidentally let go of the baby's carriage which went down a ramp and the child was thrown from the carriage after it slammed into a rail, police said.

I enjoy playing bullet. But this lag problem has to be dealt with. I'm losing seconds despite pre-moves. That's a big indicator for lag! How hard is it to fix this problem with "time stamp"?
so anyways. what's up with the lag on this site?
what i'm basicly wondering is: what's up with the lag in this place?

In 1980, Thomas Keneally was in Los Angeles on a book tour to promote Confederates, his novel of the American Civil War, and in particular of the battle of Antietam. The clasp on his briefcase had broken, so that he called into a Beverly Hills luggage store to buy a new bag. When the proprietor – Leopold Pfefferberg – discovered (without much prompting) that Keneally was a writer, he delivered a precious and unexpected gift. "It's a story for you, I swear". The story, as Keneally related in his Author's Note to his novel Schindler's Ark (1982), was the improbable one of Oskar Schindler, "the German bon vivant, speculator, charmer and sign of contradiction, and of his salvage of a cross-section of a …

Your favorite adventurous kitty cat, Puss in Boots, will be coming to the stage at the Community Theatre League, 100 W. Third St., at 7:30 p.m. March 22 and 23, and 2 p.m. March 24.
The CTL is putting on their own, multi-cultural version of the story, "Puss in Boots and Other Cat Tails."
"This one is a lot different. It's called 'Puss in Boots and Other Cat Tails,' so the Puss story is just one of four that will be acted out. The other stories are cat stories from different parts of the world, so the play definitely has a multi-cultural vibe," Jacqueline Engel, CTL administrative manager, said.

MARK NANCE/Sun-Gazette
Paissia Lynn plays the part of Carp on the Rat Patrol.
The show is described on CTL's website as "a combination of international dialects, clever transitions and creative use of percussion." Also that comedian "MC Cat" takes the audience on a world tour of stories about his relatives, showing audience members different parts of the globe including Mexico, Japan and Africa.
The play is a part of their SPROUTS program, theater for children by children, ages 2 to 10, and according to Engel, all the children are local. It is directed by Leanne Brown, a long-time CTL volunteer and actress, alongside her father. She's expecting a child of her own.
"There are 22 kids in this show, a musical size cast, all local kids and a few with their acting debut," said Brown.
"A show this size takes a lot of hard work and energy whether it is kids or adults, but truth be told, I find it easier to work with children in theater. They have a passion and drive for learning and experiencing new things that I feel you lose sometimes when you become an adult," she said.
The theater is unique in that it gives anyone and everyone who wants to audition a chance. Starting in 1976, it boasts of its long-time dedication to doing just that.
"There would be no membership dues and no annual meetings. Auditions would be open to anyone with or without experience and a structure for supporting each organizational function would be established. Three founders are actively involved today and the organization has grown to include hundreds of volunteers," a statement on their website says.
Additionally, it adds that one only needs to show interest to be involved.
To the CTL, having the SPROUTS program and introducing theater to children is important.
"Theater builds confidence like no other activity I know," Engel said. "The kids performing the show are already pretty confident and having opportunities to perform strengthens that. The kids in the audience may be sitting there thinking, "I can do that." So hopefully it will inspire them to audition and perhaps be in a show themselves."
And, despite being a show for children, the work that goes into putting on a children's production, Engel said, can be just as complex as an adult-oriented show.
"There is always the challenge for the director to get young kids to project and put themselves out there, so it's a different kind of work. The shows are less than an hour long, but this particular show [Puss in Boots] is four stories within a story, so it's fairly complex," she said.
A fun show for all, a family of four can get a ticket for just $25.
"We try to keep our ticket prices affordable. CTL is a dramatic experience not to be missed," Engel said. To find out more information about CTL happenings and upcoming shows, visit www.ctlnet.org.

Arizona Latest to Get New FB Uniforms
May 6th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
We've still got 114 days until the start of college football but the season of college football uniform changes is in full swing, as Arizona became the latest school to unveil new threads for the 2013 season on Monday.
The new unis are sleek looking, with a new shoulder design and NFL-style "flywire" on the collar that has grown on us. We especially like the new font, which is bold and unique. The helmets – which come in red, white, blue and copper – were not changed.
Our only complaint is the two-toned, rainbow-style numbers that go from red to blue and look choppy and cheesy. While some parts of the new uniforms are really nice, an up-close look is just too much rainbow-on-acid for our taste. Grade: C+

YOUNGSTOWN - You're not going to catch Eric Wolford wearing the same socks or underwear for an entire season as part of some ritualistic hope it leads to a win.
Superstition isn't his style.
"I've been in too many games to believe in that stuff," he said.
Revenge might be a different story.
The Penguins (3-1) have that on their minds as they travel to Carbondale, Ill., for their Missouri Valley Conference opener against Southern Illinois, which engineered a devastating, come-from-behind victory over YSU last year at Stambaugh Stadium. The Penguins led, 21-10, before committing five turnovers and allowing 28 unanswered points in a 38-21 loss.
The loss was part of a four-game slide that kept YSU out of the playoffs, leaving a sting that hasn't yet wore off.
"It was really rough coming off (the field)," junior wide receiver Christian Bryan said. "That was the third in a row we lost at the time. They did a great job, but it was a lot about what we did - we kind of handed it to 'em a little bit."
That can't happen again if the Penguins are going to end a six-year postseason drought. The best way to do that is by winning what is arguably the toughest conference in the FCS, a quest that starts at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
The Salukis (2-2) are coming off wins against Southeast Missouri State (36-19) and the University of Charleston (31-10) after starting the season with losses to Illinois (42-34) and Eastern Illinois (40-37, 2OT). Southern Illinois leads the league in rush defense, allowing just 83.5 yards per game, and is tied for first in sacks with 13. The stout run defense of SIU will face the power run game of a YSU team leading the league by averaging 238.8 yards per game.
"Something's gotta give," Bryan said. "We'll find out how good our rush offense really is because they've been doing a great job stopping the run this year. We're going to have to throw the ball, too, and our receivers will be ready."
Youngstown State true freshman Martin Ruiz could find himself in the thick of it all. Ruiz, who leads YSU with 268 rushing yards and seven TDs, has been a pleasant surprise for the Penguins. Sophomore Demond Hymes entered camp as the starter but has recovered slowly from an ankle injury (he saw his first action in the fourth quarter of last weekend's 59-17 blowout). Senior Adaris Bellamy was next in line, and he looked ready to take over after a 200-yard performance in the opener, but he hasn't played since Week 1 due to an undisclosed injury. Fellow senior Torrian Pace has been steady but doesn't provide the explosiveness of Ruiz.
Wolford said Hymes and Bellamy must work their way back up the depth chart. He hasn't yet chosen a starter for this week.
"We'll kind of call that thing when it gets closer to game time," he said. "What's great is that you have a lot of competition. So guys that aren't doing thing exactly the way you want them done in practice - too many missed assignments or fundamental things - then we'll start the other guy. We enjoy having that competition back there."
The battle in the trenches will be just as important. YSU offensive lineman Fred Herdman admitted the Penguins should find out a lot more about their team come Saturday. They've dominated teams they were favored to beat but struggled against Michigan State, an FBS school. Now they're matched up against a team finished to pick seventh in the MVC, two spots lower than YSU.
"Conference play is a whole different animal," Herdman said. "There are no teams in our league that don't have the potential to go on to the playoffs. And playing on the road is tough. Southern Illinois, you're on the bus and when you drive up, their whole tailgate lot is filled. It's real intimidating, but we've got the team to handle it."
A team that is still stewing over last year's collapse.
"We're mad about it," Wolford said. "That was a bad loss. We weren't happy about it. Those players remember it, and I'm sure they'll play well on Saturday."

Hello everyone,
Let me start off by saying I am in LOVE with today's project. It's simple, but SO cute!
Here's a picture of some of the supplies you'll need:
My Favorite Things Blueprints 13 Dienamic , Picture This stamp, Lemon Drop Hybrid
Ink, Stripe Background stamp and Cute Cameras Dienmaic
The finished product:
It takes only a few steps to make this card. First, using a 3 x 4 piece of white cardstock, stamp with a stripe background stamp at an angle with yellow ink. Stamping at an angle allows you to get the diagonal stripe look.
After you have done that you can move on to the center portion of the card. My center white piece of cardstock measures 2 3/4 x 4 inches which leaves some space on the sides for the stamping to show through.
See those little stitches on the side of the paper in the picture above? I was able to achieve this look by using the thin stitching die included in the My Favorite Things Blueprints 13 dienamic...I am in LOVE with this die.
Here's how I did it:
click to enlarge
In the first picture I have the die (look how tiny it is!) and my piece of cardstock. Next, I taped the die face-down onto my cardstock using washi tape. This makes sure it doesn't move while I am die-cutting it. Roll it through your die-cut machine, once on each side, and you're done! Look at those little stitches! So cute...
Lastly, I added a pink camera that I cut out using the Cute Cameras dienamic from My Favorite Things and heat-embossed "snap" onto a piece of faux washi tape that I cut out using another die from that same dienamic set. This die-set is so versatile.
Click here and and here to see how I used the same die in different ways. Or to get a closer look at the set, click here (it's featured towards the end of the video).
That's all I have for you today!
See you back here next week,

Dear Dr. Gott: I have used several of your home remedies with success. The "drunken raisin" for gout, the soap under the sheets for leg cramps, castor oil for arthritis and more. My husband thought I had finally "gone off the deep end" when I went after him with a handful of banana peels.
We had been using a prescription medication on his psoriasis every day for more than two years. It has had very little effect. I rubbed the inside of the banana peels on the affected patches (his head, neck, face and back) once a day. After three days, the psoriasis had nearly cleared up (about 90 percent was gone). My husband now uses the peels once a week to keep his skin clear.
Thank you, from both of us, for passing along all these helpful hints.
Dear Reader: Other readers have had marvelous success treating their psoriasis with the banana-peel therapy. It is cheap, easy, safe and - apparently - effective.
For those unfamiliar with this therapy, all you do is rub the inside of the banana peel on the affected patches of skin once a day. Remember not to waste the banana itself. It is nutritious and delicious.
The other therapies you mentioned also have had positive results for many of my readers. Aside from the "drunken raisin" (raisins soaked in gin), cherries have proved useful in preventing and treating gout.
Purple grape juice and liquid pectin have been equally successful in the treatment of arthritis.
I have even had some readers write to me about its usefulness in relieving IBS symptoms.
Dear Dr. Gott: Help. I have plastic grocery bags literally full of empty prescription bottles with the labels still on them.
The labels have my name, the medication, dosage and much more on them. They are impossible to remove from the bottles, and I am afraid to throw them in the garbage with the rest of my trash because of the information on them. Can another person do anything with this information?
Dear Reader: In theory, yes. Certain drugs are prescribed for certain diseases. To prevent private information from going public, use magic marker to block out the information before discarding the bottles. Another option is to soak the bottles in water (warm/hot works fastest).
This will allow the paper to separate from the adhesive for easy removal. It is more time consuming but completely removes the label rather than simply covering it up. These simple solutions should relieve many of your concerns.

Simply amazing! Bravo Bruce!

by Bruce McEwen, January 15, 2013
John A. McCullough is looking at 22-plus years in prison for the kidnapping and battery of his former girl friend, a pretty young woman maybe 20-years-old. I won't name her in this report at the request of the Mendocino County DA's Victim Witness Office. At the beginning of the proceedings last Friday, Mr. McCullough tried to bid his way out by offering to plead out to some of the lesser charges, such as domestic abuse and making criminal threats, but the prosecutor, Deputy DA Shannon Cox wasn't buying.
Pretty young woman, handsome young man, but a handsome young man with a criminal history. Looking at him, you wonder why he didn't just stay home with a bottle of Jack Daniels, sing himself some blues and look around town for a new love. But he didn't, and now John A. McCullough, at age 31, is in big trouble.
"The kidnapping charge in itself carries a 22 year sentence, and the People are not willing to drop it," prosecutor Cox told Judge John Behnke in response to Public Defender Linda Thompson's offer to negotiate.
It often happens that kidnapping charges are filed somewhat extravagantly, especially when the parties are known to each other. But in cases where somebody is forced from one location to another, or ordered at gunpoint to get into the car, well, it can cost a fool for love 22 years of his young life.
In this case, the victim testified that she was indeed abducted at gunpoint, then she had her face repeatedly slammed into the dashboard, and was finally choked to give up her cellphone to the man she once loved.
Judge Behnke was inclined to believe the girl — at least for the limited purposes of the preliminary hearing. It may be shown at trial that the defendant is innocent, but a Prelim — or PX (preliminary examination) as the lawyers call it – is a crucial step in determining the strength of the evidence, after which the judge usually rules that the case can proceed to trial.
John McCullough now faces as much as 25-to-life in prison, and Deputy DA Cox feels confident she can prove all the charges to a jury, even though Ms. Thompson suggested in her cross-examination of the witnesses that there was perhaps a shadow of doubt, and any person looking at serious prison time who has Linda T as his attorney, well, no one's ever confused her with Clarence Darrow.
The incident in Willits happened last November 21st.
"I was walking home from work," the victim said.
"Where did you work?" DDA Cox asked.
"At The House of Pizza."
"What time of night was this?"
"Ten, maybe 10:30."
"And you were walking home from work?"
"Yes, but I was going to go out later."
"With Mr. McCullough?"
"No. With my girlfriends."
The victim said she was living with her parents in Willits after a failed relationship with the defendant. McCullough had turned abusive, she said, and she'd gotten a restraining order against him. But apparently McCullough had unilaterally waived his stay-away order and had kept on keeping on. The estranged couple had also been exchanging text messages, meaning that McCullough, you could say, was able to keep contact alive because his contactee was answering back. But worst of all, McCullough had been driving by his ex's home yelling insults and threats at the girl's parents.
"He would drive by the house and yell names at my Dad, cussing and saying he was going to kill us all."
The victim testified that she'd relented to communicating with McCullough to keep him away from her parents.
"So you agreed to have contact with him?"
"He said he would leave me and my family alone if I would talk to him."
"Was it positive contact?"
"Were the text messages positive?"
"Not really. He used blackmail on me, saying he would tell the whole town we were back together."
"He was texting you while you were working?"
"And you got off work at or around 10 or 10:30; and you were walking home when you got a call from John?"
"What did he say?"
"First he asked where I was; but then he said, 'never mind, I can see you.'"
"So you stayed on the phone with him while you were walking?"
"When did you see him?"
"When I went by a parked car he told me to get in."
"Did you?"
"No. I said 'no' and kept walking."
"What did he do?"
"He followed me. He rolled down the window and said 'get in.'"
"Did you get in?"
"No. I kept walking. Then he pulled out a gun and told me to get in."
"Did he point the gun at you?"
"Not really. He just had it in his hand when he told me to get in the car."
"What did you do?"
"I went around to the passenger side and got in the car."
"I was scared he was going to kill me."
"Where did you go after you got in the car?"
"He went around the block and back toward Brown's Corner."
"Did you want to be in the car?"
"You were going north on 101?"
"He turned onto the Fort Bragg Road and pulled over by the Willits KOA. Then he grabbed me by my hair and tried to get my phone."
"Did you give it to him?"
"Yes, finally."
"I was tired of getting my head bashed into the dash, so I gave it to him."
"Were you arguing with him?"
"Yes. He was calling me a whore. He was mad because I had walked out on him and got an abortion. He said if it was his father or his brother, I'd be dead already."
It would seem young Johnny wasn't living up to the McCullough family's lofty standards of intolerance. But the girl didn't immediately give up her phone, and the motorized assault resumed.
"He started driving toward Fort Bragg again and he tried to get my phone out of my shirt. He pulled over again and started choking me, and saying maybe he should just get it over with, so I gave it to him."
"What did he do with it?"
"He tried to take the battery out but couldn't get it out, and he told me to take it out so nobody could contact me or track me."
"This was on the way to Fort Bragg?"
"How far did you go in that direction?"
"Maybe as far as James Creek."
"Did you have any conversation with him?"
"Yes. I told him I loved him and wanted to turn around and go home with him."
"Why did you tell him that – was it true?"
"No, but I didn't want him to kill me."
"So he turned back toward Willits?"
"And the conversation resumed?"
"Yes. I told him I hadn't had an abortion; I said it was a miscarriage. Then he got on the phone to his brother who said he'd seen me with someone. He started calling me a whore again and I said I needed to use the restroom and he pulled into Flyers." (Flyers is a Willits service station.)
"You got out and went into the restroom?"
"Then did you go back to the car?"
"Yes, but not immediately. I was trying to get the cashier's attention."
"Did you?"
"Why, because he came back in and took me out to the car."
"Did you get back in?"
"Yes. And then we went toward Ukiah."
"Did he live in Ukiah?"
Now you were on the way to Ukiah. Were you still having a conversation with John?"
"Yes. I told him I loved him and wanted to go home with him but I needed to go to my parents' house and get some things first, so we turned around near the weigh station. I told him I was going to pick up some clothes and go with him. So when we hit the road by the fire station I got out and started walking to my trailer. Then he suddenly said 'you're going to send me to jail' and came after me."
"Did you see the gun again?"
"So you got up the hill and ran into the house?"
"Yes, and my Dad came out and I could hear him — John – screaming, 'I'm going to kill you! Your family can't protect you forever.'"
"Did someone call the police?"
"Yes, my Mom."
"Did Officer Androtti come to your house?"
"Nothing further."
Public Defender Thompson began her cross-examination of the girl.
"You indicate in your declaration for a restraining order that you were in a relationship with Mr. McCullough for eight or nine months, is that correct?"
"And you said that he was abusive and you didn't want to be with him?"
The victim didn't understand the question.
"How was he abusive; in what way?"
"He would slam me against the wall, pull my hair out throwing me around the room, and scream at me that I was a whore."
"Okaaaay…" Ms. Thompson drawled this word with arch enunciation. It's one of her signature gimmicks, and she basks for prolonged moments in the effect she imagines it has worked on everyone involved before resuming her questions.
"But you were pregnant at the time with Mr. McCullough's child, weren't you?"
"And did you have an abortion?"
"And did he know?"
The Public Defender pounced. "Aha!"
It was another of the Thompson's crafty theatrics, this exclamation.
"Now, as for this alleged abuse – did you ever report it?"
"So you went to live with your parents?"
"And you indicate that John sent abusive messages to your father?"
"Do you think your father still has these messages on his phone?"
"I'm sure of it."
"And you got this restraining order in November before the incident of the 21st?"
"Did your parents do that for you?"
"No. I did it myself."
"Were you aware whether or not Mr. McCullough had ever been served with that order?"
"But you started getting texts from him, isn't that correct?"
"And didn't you get word from him that he wanted to be friends with you without all the drama?"
"And two days before you were exchanging texts, weren't you?"
"Yes, I was playing his head games."
"On your cell phone Mr. McCullough is listed as "Snuffins" — isn't that correct?"
From Mr. McCullough to Snuffins. What's become of male dignity in contemporary romance?
"He wanted to go out but I told him I was going out to the bar with the girls."
"So you were getting calls from John while you were walking home after work?"
"Yes, but he called first while I was still at work."
"Then the second call came while you were walking?"
"Now, when you first had an idea he was in a car nearby – where was it, the car?"
"The other side of Brown's Corner."
"And isn't it true that you had to cross the street to go by the car?"
"No, I had to walk around the car."
"So he told you to get in the car on the phone?"
"Yes, but I said no and then he followed me and rolled the window down so I could see him."
"How did you see the gun?"
"It was in his hand."
"Did he hold it up so you could see it?"
"Well, can you describe it?"
"It was a small black gun."
"And he said 'Get in' – anything else?"
"Just cuss words. And there was meanness in his voice."
"After you got in the car did you see the gun?"
"So after you got in he turned and went down Highway 20 toward Fort Bragg. Had he already assaulted you physically at that point?"
"No. He was talking about his cousin who said he saw me with someone and he was calling me a whore.
"And you were continuing to tell him that you had had a miscarriage and not an abortion?"
"When the car pulled over at the Willits KOA, did you try to get out?"
"Why didn't you?"
"He grabbed my hair."
"He grabbed your hair and pulled you back?"
"And that was the first physical assault?"
"Was he driving when he slammed you into the dashboard?"
At this point Ms. Thompson blurted one of her gotcha guffaws. It turned out that when the cops finally apprehended defendant McCullough, he had confessed that he slammed the woman he said he loved into the dash at the same time he hit the brakes.
"I wanted her to feel it," he is alleged to have said on tape to Willits Police Officer Jeffery Androtti and the DA's investigator, Detective Kevin Bailey.
"Did you ever go to the hospital?" Thompson asked the victim.
"A couple of days later," she said.
"And isn't it true that you later asked someone to hurt him, to hurt Mr. McCullough?"
"Did you want him dead?"
"Wouldn't you want someone dead if they were trying to kill you?"
"Are you saying you didn't ask someone to hurt him?"
"No, I didn't."
Nothing further.
Officer Andretti was called and testified that when John McCullough was first questioned he dismissed everything as "bullshit," but later in the interrogation changed his story. He had heard the cops were looking for him and had turned himself in, hoping to plea to a domestic violence rap and avoid the complications possession of the gun caused him. He was, after all, a convicted felon with a long rap sheet and not supposed to have a gun. On this point he was, as DDA Cox put it, "minimizing his culpability."
Androtti: "He said he'd used blackmail to get her in the car, saying if she didn't get in she'd lose everything."
Cox: "Did he admit he drove off with her?"
Androtti: "He did."
Cox: "Did he admit she wanted out?"
Androtti: "Yes, he did."
Cox: "Did he talk about taking her phone?"
Andretti: "He did. He said he wanted the battery out so they couldn't be tracked by law enforcement."
Judge Behnke: "What was it he said about grabbing her hair?"
Andretti: "May I look at my report?"
Judge: "You may, but don't read from it directly; just use it to refresh your memory."
Androtti (after a moment): "He grabbed her hair at the back of her head at the same time he hit the breaks and slammed her face into the dashboard. 'I wanted her to feel it,' he said."
Predictably, Judge Behnke found that there was sufficient evidence to hold McCullough on all five counts: kidnapping, physical assault, criminal threats, felon in possession of a firearm, violation of a restraining order, and a number of special allegations.
By the time Valentine's Day rolls around, Mr. McCullough might be looking for a new sweetheart at the state prison, where the concept of violent love is well understood.
Simply amazing! Bravo Bruce!

Life as a lowly Berk can be a bit trying. Like when He Who Must Be Obeyed wants his fried eggs and the stupid Bird doesn't lay. Or when you're trying to make boiled slimies, and the flippin' slimies don't want to be caught. Or when you're trying to get a can of worms together and that divvy Drut keeps eating them before you can can 'em... tsk! There he goes again!
And now Him Upstairs wants his eyeball crush, but the Crusher keeps missing the vat. You went to all that trouble to grow the eyes, pick them and put them in the vat, and now the daft beggar can't even crush them for you. Time's run out and Him Upstairs has changed his mind! That does it. It's time to end it all by throwing yourself into the inky depths beyond the trap door... Ahhhhhhh.
It's a well known fact that if you present the best programmers with a computer that has limitations, they'll make it their business to push their games so close to those limits you can't stick a fag paper in the gap. Witness the quantum leap in graphics between the first games on the Speccy like Manic Miner and the latest offerings like Starstrike II and Heavy On The Magick. So, you may have thunk to yourself, that's as far as the attribute-stricken Spectrum can be pushed. Oh ye of little faith. If I told you that I'd just played a game on my Spectrum that wouldn't look out of place on an Amiga, would you believe me? Fortunately you don't have to take my word for it. Check out the screenshots for yourself, and see whether you can tell the difference between this and an animated cartoon...
Based on the forthcoming plasticine peopled TV show of the same name, The Trap Door is the story of Berk and his encounters with the beasts lurking under the door in his kitchen floor. If the series is even half as funny and cleverly done as the game, then it should be good indeed. And you have to look very closely indeed to pick out any attribute clashes at all; even more startling as the sprites themselves are enormous. Some are at least a third of the screen high! The amount of animation in each single sprite character, not to mention their artificial intelligence, is more than most games have in the whole program!
You have a series of tasks to perform for your hungry master upstairs, and not only do you not know what they are beforehand, but the tools you need to do the job are scattered around your dungeon. Some are small and hidden within others, but the problem with most of them is that you have to suss out the task they're most suited to first. I say most suited, because you can use almost all the items in more than one way. This comes in very handy if you lose the proper utensil to complete a particular meal; a spot of lateral thinking and you can usually use another to the same effect.
Berk can move every object in the dungeon; those which are too heavy to lift he shoves along the ground. You don't have positional problems picking things up either, as Berk zeroes in on objects and doors. In a lot of other games the first hour or so of play is spent learning how to cope with the sprites. No such problems in Trap Door. Everything you want, you can get. Just gently push Berk in the right direction and he'll get the idea and carry out your wishes.
Even the music and sound effects match up to the graphics and playability. For the best effect try passing the sound through your stereo from the EAR socket, or even listen to it with a pair of headphones!
Don't believe anything else you hear, this is the game for the Speccy. And don't be put off by the packaging either. Yes, I know it's a bit naff, but ignore it, especially that sticker. Height of bad taste, I call it. Brush all these obvious turn offs aside and buy it. For my money, this is one of the best arcade games ever on the Spectrum. (And yes, Piranha, you can quote me on that.)

The collective reputation of TV's Golden Girls seemed to tarnish somewhat when word circulated that not a single cast member attended the funeral of costar Estelle Getty, who died July 22.
But Betty White, who starred on the hit sitcom with Getty, Rue McClanahan and Bea Arthur, says no disrespect should be inferred.
"We were with Estelle when it mattered," White, 86, tells Entertainment Tonight, reports ET.com. "I didn't go to her funeral and Paul, her wonderful caretaker, knew I wasn't going to her funeral."
Getty had long suffered from a form of dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease.
White also insists that Getty herself would have been incensed at the tabloid stories fueling any notion of lost love between the "girls."
"Funerals are about [journalism]," suggests White, "who was there and who wasn't? That's not about Estelle."
In terms of feelings about Getty, "We adored her. To tell you the truth, her passing is tough on us, but it's a blessing for her. She's been so ill for so long, she's in a better place now, wherever she is."

Tail Concerto
Release Date: 8/31/99
Platform: Sony PlayStation
Developer: CyberConnect2
Publisher: Atlus
Years owned: 12
Times played: 2
Farthest gone: Third stage? I can barely remember
Why did I purchase this game?
It was either the PlayStation Underground demo CD's or the Official PlayStation Magazine in which I played the demo for a quirky, anime-type experience called Tail Concerto. Its unorthodox nature was rarely seen stateside at this point, combining quirky charm, slightly out of the box character and level design and overall unusual feel were felt immediately upon playing the demo. I remember it took quite a while for it to port over to the US, and the wait would only become more painful as I frequently booted the demo up in the meantime.
Why did I stop playing the game?
I remember getting to one part that involved crazy jumps, small platforms and an immense amount of frustration. I shelved it for a while, hoping to revisit it a little later down the road. Over a decade later, here we are!
Why did I choose this game at this time?
Going through my backlog to decide which games should qualify for this ongoing series. I stumbled upon Tail Concerto, disc in immaculate condition, case displaying a minor crack in the inner front portion. An instant flood of memories came pouring through, from my times with the demo years ago, to how little I seemed to have spent with the full build upon its release. It doesn't seem to be a title that's known to most gamers, and its unusual nature overall might be worth sharing with others.
Any expectations going in?
To be quite honest, I sank a ton of time into the demo, and for all intended purposes, I did enjoy what I spent with the full version, platforming frustrations later on notwithstanding. Its quirky nature overall shouldn't turn me off years later. Since it's been such a long stretch of time since I last played Tail Concerto, I can't completely remember how the controls were, though I do have some kind of recollection of a poor camera overall? Regardless, I'm confidant that I'll come away satisfied.
Check back on Friday February 16th to see if I was able to finally complete this game that has been in my collection for a dozen years!

Scales Sent Outright to AAA
The Cubs opened up a second slot on their 40-man roster today, as they sent IF-OF Bobby Scales outright to AAA Iowa.
The 32-year old switch-hitter made his big league debut in 2009, hitting 242/312/411 in 51 games (138 PA) for the Cubs, while playing 2B, 3B, LF, and RF. Scales was acquired by the Cubs from Iowa on May 4th, after spending ten-plus seasons and playing 1,000+ games in the minor leagues with San Diego, Philadelphia, Boston, and the Cubs.
Scales did his best work for the Cubs coming off the bench, leading all MLB pinch-hitters (minimum 15 PA) in BA, SLG, and OPS in 2009, hitting 500/533/1.204 with 2 HR & 5 RBI, two doubles, and a triple, as a PH.
The University of Michigan alum is eligible to be a Rule 55 Minor League FA, which means he will be free to sign with another organization when the MLB Free-Agent Filing Period ends 15 days after the conclusion of the World Series, unless he opts to sign a 2010 minor league contract with the Cubs.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
scales to AAA? bye bye 2010. i hate this f'n team.
how in the hell can you let a talent like that just waltz off the roster?
fire hendry and screw you lou.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
Whose balls do you have to cup to stay on the roster? Apparently only Aaron Miles knows.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
The mere thought of Aaron Miles pisses me straight the fuck off. The guy can't even hit in the PCL. The fucker is either still working for STL or needs to be taken back behind the barn and shot. Fuck Aaron Miles and his C- defense and F bat.
The Cubs better not open the 2010 season with Aaron Miles on the roster.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
LOL.....and I totally concur. I really didn't think I could hate a 25th man more than Neifi or Jose Macias, but I was wrong. Miles needs to be dowsed with gasoline and set on fire.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
How can you not like Bobby? He's a good character and contributes here and there as evidenced by his PH numbers cited by AZ Phil.
That said, under ideal conditions, he's not playing for your big league team.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
How can you not like Bobby?
he's not good at playing baseball?
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
That's a little bit rough.
"He's not good enough at playing baseball", is probably more fair. After watching Alfonso Soriano and Jake Fox play left field for the majority of 2009, I never thought I would see the position played more incompetently. It took Mr. Scales two games to disabuse me of that notion.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
he's not good at playing baseball at the major league level.. is of course the intended meaning...
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
Why doesn't Aaron "I'm Not Even as Good As Neifi" Miles receive equal scourge one might wonder.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
miles can at least field...he's got that going for him if nothing else.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
after a little more thought, and to add...
even with the fielding deficiency scales isn't a bad option off the bench or as an occasional starter. he's not trash at the bat even if it's not slick. he's got a touch of pop in his bat, too.
a lot of people's issue with scales wasn't him failing (except his horribly stiff play at 2nd base or his no-strength arm) as much as it was him playing over jake fox, sam fuld, and/or hoffpower so much.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
oh I hate Miles more, don't worry
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
I saw Bobby Scales play in spring training. He looked damn good, assholes.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
Apparently TCR has ruled and Bobby Scales sucks ass.

14. Colby Rasmus, CF, +13
15. Torii Hunter, CF, +13
Comment: TotalZone seems to have a tilt to the left.
Re: The Top Fielders in 2009 according to TotalZone ratings
I'm very surprised by about half of that list.
Re: The Top Fielders in 2009 according to TotalZone ratings
don't be..it's a bullshit stat.
Re: The Top Fielders in 2009 according to TotalZone ratings
here's a rundown of it if anyone wants to learn about it
I hadn't even heard about it until today...
I'll say besides Cruz, Ryan and Carroll I would have expected most of those guys to be considered very good defenders. Does have some odd love of 3bmen, yet not one 2b and only 2 SS?
Re: The Top Fielders in 2009 according to TotalZone ratings
it really seems to gives a lot of credit to IF'rs who play deep (chone/longoria/b.ryan).
dunno what's up with some of those OF ranks...nelson cruz #2 what? colby ramsus, really?
Re: The Top Fielders in 2009 according to TotalZone ratings
The problem with ZR and Total ZR and one of the problems with UZR is that they don't take into account fielder preference. If a ball is hit between third and short (or left and center) that both players can make an out on, the third basemen gets there first and gets credit for it. Each of those systems gives too much credit to the third basemen and center fielders because of this. According to Total ZR all pretty much all center fielders are good and all corner outfielders are crap, though there are one or two exceptions.
UZR incorrectly breaks down the balls that go through as hits when assigning 'blame' to third base and short. ZR and Total ZR are 'blameless systems'.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
If Miles is not on team who will Lou have pinch
hit in the fifth inning?
I am with every one else screw Miles trade him for
a Harry Caray beer stein.

Cubs execs visit Collier to scout spring training sites
NAPLES: A group was formed four months ago with the purpose of making Collier County the spring training home for the Chicago Cubs, the Naples Daily News has learned.
And that group already has met with the Cubs - both at their headquarters in Wrigley Field, and earlier this month in Naples for a two-day visit by new owner Tom Ricketts and CEO Crane Kenney.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
AZ Phil -- A while back you posted your thoughts on the possibility that the Cubs may leave their Spring Training home in Mesa. I believe you thought there is a good chance the Cubs will leave Mesa, but will likely stay in Arizona. With the push from Naples, has your thinking changed? What are you hearing from the press (and your many contacts) in Arizona?
McGwire to be Cards hitting coach?
Re: McGwire to be Cards hitting coach?
I thought you were kidding about Mark McGwire, but Carrie Muskat (quoting ESPN's Buster Olney) says it could happen. And if Carrie says it, it must be true.
I wonder why the Cardinals fired Hal McRae. Didn't the St. Louis offense overachieve this year?
Re: McGwire to be Cards hitting coach?
put that in your fucking pipe and smoke it.
Re: McGwire to be Cards hitting coach?
Hal McRae didn't tell Albert Pujols, Mark Derosa, and Matt Holiday how to hit. And in case you are wondering, Jaramillo isn't going to teach Soriano, Lee, Ramirez, Fukudome, Bradley, or anyone else whose been in the big leagues more than 2 years how to hit.
Re: McGwire to be Cards hitting coach?
The job of major league hitting coaches is not to teach hitters how to hit, it's to keep them going consistently, help them with their strategy and to keep them from getting into bad habits. Players learn to hit when they're kids.
Re: McGwire to be Cards hitting coach?
And McGwire is going to teach them how to hit? I think the biggest thing McGwire offers the Cardinals is his drug dealer's phone number.
If I'm Bud Selig I grow some balls and block that hire.
Re: McGwire to be Cards hitting coach?
Do we really have to go over Mark McGwire's whole life again? The guy was hitting bombs in little league and still holds California state records for it. So he must of been juicing in little league right?
Re: McGwire to be Cards hitting coach?
so you don't think McGwire was taking anything?
Re: McGwire to be Cards hitting coach?
'The bottle was there for everybody to see, but Wilstein was the only one who dared to look. He wrote down the name of the substance_"a-n-d-r-o-s-t-e-n-e-d-i-o-n-e"_in his notebook, did a little research and discovered andro was a form of testosterone-producing steroid banned by virtually every other sport except Major League Baseball.
Wilstein asked the hulked-up, bulked-up McGwire about the substance, and McGwire not only admitted to taking it, he stated unabashedly, "Everybody I know in the game of baseball uses the same stuff I use."'
Re: McGwire to be Cards hitting coach?
LaRussa got pissed that McRae wouldn't give his hitters PEDs, so he fired him and hired McGwire.
Indians new manager...
Manny Acta set to get the gig...
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
Pujols gets a new source for hgh rumors...
mm confirmed, not the current cubs vp either
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
That announcement, you would think, would border on the type that's generally off-limits during the playoffs.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
That's what I was thinking too. I was even surprised about the Manny Acta announcement in Cleveland.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
shame what's happened to baseball in tucson...
i think they got some indie league team playing in TEP now and even trying to reach out to asian countries for them to hold their league's spring training exhibition games there.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
One of the things that the Naples News columnist is hanging his hat on to push Naples/Florida is that 15 of the last 18 World Series champions have Spring Training facilities in Florida. Is there a legitimate reason for this? Do teams even think about things like this?
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
This is probably Bradley didn't hit with RISP news, but some good news on both the Bradley trade front and the restricting of Hendry stupidity front near the bottom of the column.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
Another exec says that Jaramillo also relates exceptionally well to Latin players- good news for the Cubs, who need left fielder Alfonso Soriano and catcher Geovany Soto to bounce back
Soriano and Soto are both Latin?
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
Last I heard, the country of Puerto Rico is Spanish-speaking, so since Geo was born there - and still calls it home - he could still "qualify" as "Latino".
However, since he speaks English perfectly well, it is an absurd statement if that is what the exec actually said.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
Actually... I actually do think that there is something to being able to relate to players from different cultures. It isn't just about language.
I just find it amusing that people call them "Latin" players.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
It's probably just a typo.
I find it more amusing that people call Puerto Rico a country.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
I find it more amusing that people call Puerto Rico a country.
Heh... I missed that. Nice catch.
Re: Scales Sent Outright to AAA
He relates well to Latin players? That's certainly a non sequitur.

lulz, MIA with a 5-0 lead after 2 innings.
d.gordon leads off MIA inning with a HR...came up to bat wearing j.fernandez's helmet.
he barely made it back into the dugout after crying his way around the bases.
i can't watch this game anymore. it's too much...too real.
FLA really doesn't look like they're mentally/physically prepared for this game. never seen anything like this...it's not just a few people in the dugout still feeling it large, it's pretty much everyone.
i doubt it will lead to some kinda error-filled little league quality game, but everyone looks drained and still draining.
...and onto the cubs game. go #100.
The Marlins organization is obviously affected deeply by this. I feel for the people there. And I understand circumstances have changed.
But retiring his number. Wow. Literally a week ago the rumor mill was fast and furious about how Fernandez was going to be traded this winter, with the front office in response doing almost nothing to deny it. And to turn around and retire his number, just like that, when they obviously felt the organization would have been better long-term without him, just reeks of insincerity.
jose fernandez's number is going to be retired by FLA.
there's custom jerseys on their way to tonight's game (and hopefully will make it on time). all the marlins are going to wear #16 tonight.
this still sucks.
probably saturday depending on what they do with hammel (assuming friday for ham).
Lester is going to get one more start, right? It sure would be nice to see him get a shot at 20 wins.
Nicely done! I think in my 10-14 games I went .500 or a little over. Strangely, I went to the Cards games they mostly lost (incl Saturday) and the one SF game they lost, plus a couple Brewers games they lost, too. I should have gone to just Reds games. But still - saw mostly very good baseball on the North Side this year. Regardless of what happens come October - the Cubs are positioned for some good times in the next 3-5 years.
First Cub victory at home this year for me!
Saw all four starters this year
RIP Arnie. We could use a lot more like you -- a man who succeeded and failed on his own terms, a true original, and, finally, a remarkable example of graciousness towards others.
Cubs finish 33 over at home. I was, personally, one game over at 3-2, which was one of my better years in a while.
I do hope that's the last time we see the Cardinals this year. A lot of power, which is dangerous, particularly in a short series, and they have really shut down KB all year.
Oh, and Jon Lester? Damn!
Yes. Boating accident at 3AM. Very sad, but stupid. Young men do stupid things.
lester puts 2 on and is taken out at 96 pitches. oh well.
edwards in.
2 out in the 7th, lester at 84 pitches, ross taken out for the standing O.
it's possible contreras will catch lester for another inning+.
What a weird day. Jose Fernandez and Arnold Palmer, but then Scully and, on a much more modest level, Ross....

With Amy Winehouse, it's not just complicated. It's extremely complicated.
Soon the world will find out just how much so as the troubled 25-year-old singer and her family open themselves up to Israeli-American interviewer Daphne Barak for a documentary shot at Winehouse's retreat on the island of St. Lucia, according to a post on her MySpace blog.
Barak recently spent time with Winehouse and her father Mitch for what the singer's blog calls "a truthful and revealing look at her complicated life." Footage and photos posted on Barak's own Web site show Winehouse in the studio and hosting a birthday party, as well as a brief interview with Mitch, who explains how the Caribbean island has been a welcome getaway for his daughter during her public struggles with sobriety and fame.
The documentary is expected to be released later this year.
