Wisconsin-Michigan report card
Two field goals and a series that resulted in a punt? When is offensive coordinator Paul Chryst going to be reprimanded for such shoddy work? Excuse me while I rip my tongue from my cheek. Chryst will downplay his work and the efficient play of his unit. He always does. But if anyone out there is willing to identify an offense that is functioning at higher level than UW's, good luck.
The line and tight ends kicked booty. Montee Ball and James White reminded fans they could make a nice tailback tandem in 2011 if needed. Scott Tolzien, save for the interception, was hot and in rhythm from the start. Someone might want to remind him sliding is better than lowering a shoulder and ramming into defenders. Lance Kendricks and Nick Toon found room to roam in the Michigan secondary and made plays.
Defensive coordinator Dave Doeren will find a handful of flaws and note them to the players. Antonio Fenelus gave up a pair of long pass plays. There were a few missed tackles, but Doeren's defense was sharp early when UW built a 24-0 halftime lead.
Michigan had four first-half possessions: punt, missed field goal, three-and-out; and three-out. That was fabulous work.
Linebacker Mike Taylor (nine tackles) is just a football player. End J.J. Watt broke up two more passes and turned the second into an interception that led to a field goal. End Louis Nzegwu (five tackles) was active again. That is a good sign for UW with Northwestern next on the schedule.
Reserve cornerback Devin Smith put together a second consecutive solid effort.
The coaches won't allow the subpar play to get lost in the victory. Jared Abbrederis put the offense in a hole on the first series when he failed to handle a bad kickoff. The kickoff-coverage unit struggled, allowing an average of almost 27 yards per return.
Brad Nortman had his first punt since the victory over Purdue and hit a beautiful Aussie style kick that was downed by Fenelus at the Michigan 1.
The star of the units had to be fullback Bradie Ewing, who alertly recovered the first onside kick and forced a fumble on kickoff coverage.
The story of how this team has been built took place midway through the third quarter after the Wolverines had pulled within 24-14 and appeared to be in the midst of a comeback to rival the one they pulled against UW in 2008
No chance.
UW's next drive started at its 31 and the Badgers drove for a touchdown in eight plays - all runs - to re-establish control.
No flinching. No doubting. Just win baby.

BSHF is currently supporting the growth of community-led housing through an intensive programme of promotional and collaborative activity. This activity is being supported by the Nationwide Foundation as part of their Alternative Housing Models funding programme. Because BSHF is independently funded, all of the available funds will be channelled into supporting and increasing community-led housing activity. Find out about our programme activities.
We have been involved in supporting Community-led housing in the UK for some time – see details in Our Previous Work. It is an important area of housing innovation, seeking to address some of the most pressing problems, with many transferable lessons that can be applied or adapted in other contexts. Additionally we have identified many examples of this happening on an international basis through our work on the World Habitat Awards.
What is community-led housing?
Community-led housing enables a community or a group wishing to form a community to create their own housing solutions. It is a term covering various models and options but the key to explaining what it means lies in the two words;
Community: the housing is designed to meet the needs of particular groups of people or the needs of a particular place, and
Led: the housing is shaped and controlled by a group that represents the residents and/or the wider community that will be served by the housing.
As always, the reality is more complex than this, and a wide range of different approaches and ideas exist.
While current estimates suggest that community-led housing represents less than 1% of housing in the UK, there is a growing level of interest in different approaches. Community-led housing has great potential to generate new ideas and build stronger communities.
Why are we supporting Community-led Housing in the UK?
There's no doubt that we are in desperate need of new solutions when it comes to tackling housing in the UK. We believe in the potential of the community-led movement to transform the way we view housing. There are inspiring examples across England, Wales, Scotland and internationally of what can be achieved when people take control over how their housing is supplied.
Numerous examples identify benefits such as:
- Permanently affordable housing and other bespoke housing solutions which cater specifically to the needs of local people
- Improved quality of housing stock through the renovation and reuse of existing buildings
- Improved affordability through low carbon housing, reducing utility and energy costs as well as lessening the impact on climate change
- Community ownership of assets and retention of local wealth enabling access to further funding
- Support for local supply chains and improving the skills and employability of local people
- Strengthened communities with increased confidence, capacity and control
Community-led homes can address social challenges like:
- Supporting an ageing population (including tackling loneliness and isolation), for example the Older Women's Cohousing Group in Barnet
- Homelessness, for example Canopy Housing in Leeds
- Skills Development – many different skills can be acquired; building skills are only one example (see the Donaldson Court, Banbury Project with Sanctuary and partners, a self-build project which enlisted and trained young people from the local community).
- Support for minority and marginalised groups, for example the Zenzele Project in Bristol, or Fusions Jameen in Lewisham
- Community cohesion; building new communities and rebuilding old ones – see for example Walters Way, Lewisham; K1 Cohousing, Cambridge; Homebaked Cooperative Bakery and CLT, Liverpool; Granby4Streets CLT, Liverpool
We hope to collaborate with a wide range of organisations and individuals to share positive practice, raise awareness and create lasting change. We want to amplify the excellent work already underway to support new community-led solutions, and to generate new opportunities. We want the funding provided by the Nationwide Foundation to make as much impact as possible by joining up effectively with others in this space. We are already talking to lots of really enthusiastic and proactive people and organisations, but if you want to get involved, we would love to hear from you.

TravelPod Member ReviewsEmpire Landmark Hotel and Conference Center Vancouver
We stayed here because a friend recommended it, but it must have been awhile since she stayed. It really needs some updating. It was comfortable and a good location, but I probably wouldn't stay again.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Hotel is located off Robson and in a good area. However the hotel is a bit dated. The best thing about the hotel is being close to Cloud 9 restaurant which is on the 42nd floor and offers impeccable views.

Historical Traveler Reviews Empire Landmark Hotel and Conference Center Vancouver
We just took a weekend getaway and chose the Landmark, as I've always enjoyed the revolving restaurant when we've been to Vancouver, and the lobby leads you to believe this is a higher-end accommodation. WRONG! I couldn't believe it when we walked into the room which looks like it hasn't been updated in 30 years - the kingsize bed had a duvet that belonged on a queensize, the fit was atrocious! Also, there was only one sheet, which also did not fit. When we mentioned this at the front desk we were informed that yes, they get many complaints about this, but they have no bedding to fit kingsize beds! Add to this only 2 bath towels provided for 2 people, glasses provided without sanitation papers, upside down on dusty glass shelves - unbelievable! When I looked for a notepad and pen to write a complaint note, I realized that not even this was provided! Major disappointment in this "landmark" hotel!
An awful hotel. Poor facilities and in need of a major refit. Staff unhelpful and dreadfully long queues at check in and check out!
Excellent location but not worth the hassle. Pay the extra and go elsewhere.
The hotel was tall with amazing views of this magnificent city.
Vancouver is my favourite city. And the hotel clearly represented why.
While not a five star hotel, it's claim to fame is the view. Nearly every floor has great views of the city. Climb to the 42floor (yes, the hotel does have 42 floors as there is a cigar bar on top of the 41 floor restaurant but you have to walk up a floor of stairs) and the view is arguably one of the best in the world.
The food at the restaurant was also amazing. The vegetables were frest and the plate was decorated with Salmon on a bed of rice with the veges overlapping both sides of the meat surrounded by a gourmet fruit sauce.
There are downsides to the hotel (the reason for 4 stars). Most of the rooms are small but there are suites on most every floor. It is true about the service and amenities - they are lacking. And the hotel nickel and dimes you on things like local phone calls, parking, and nearly everything it can.
But they are trying to improve. They will implement internet access very soon. I was privileged to get their account during my Nov 28 stay (ahead of their rollout).
While not a posh hotel with service amenities most Americans are used to, the Empire Landmark does have better views than any hotel I have been to, 5 star or not.
Should've Left While We Had The Chance!
At first glance, the Empire looked "respectable", but then we quickly noticed this is a hotel that has seen it's day, which was apparently a long time ago. The service was horrible! This hotel has hardly any of the normal "full-service hotel" amenities it claims to have. For example, there is no room service, although they haven't bothered to remove the easily removable "Room Service" buttons from the phones.
When you push the button, it rings and rings until a front-desk person answers only to laugh and say they haven't had room service in a few years (plenty of time to remove room menus and phone buttons). There is no concierge desk. When we asked what seems to be the only staff in the hotel, the front desk, where we could find movie times for the imax, they directed us to the pay phones down the hall and said, "next". The Thrifty car rental desk across from the Hotel's front desk (in the same lobby) has very helpfull staff however, who were more than happy to give us theater times and even a bus route to take to get there. We went to Thrifty's reservation desk for the rest of our stay there for friendly info. There is no bellman or valet service. When we asked to leave our bags at the hotel after checking out, since our flight wasn't for a few hours, they called for their security man to take it. The rooms are falling apart, the hallway carpets are stained and rippled, and the staff seems to be comprised of the only mean people we could find in Canada! We couldn't help but wonder if they had imported their staff from somewhere else since the rest of the people we encountered in Vancouver were so open and friendly. Although the price is tempting, I'd advise spending the extra cash to stay somewhere worthy of calling itself a Hotel!
Avoid at all costs...stay away
Was supposed to be a get away weekend...should have been get away from this place weekend. Poor service everywhere in this Hotel. They are so short staffed that you cant get any service and the staff are miserable. No rooms service, no amenities, small TV's, rooms old and in disrepair. Complained to Manager about star rating was told they lost it and that it used to be a nice hotel! False adverstising!One good thing the view from Cloud 9 revolving restaurant, the food is sublime, but the decor is gaudy (dated) and the service is slow and rude.Very dissapointed, they gave me a discount after complaint but will never be back...EVER
Great value, great views
I've stayed here more than twenty times, and it's unusually good value for the money. It's over 40 stories tall, and every room has a terrific view and a little balcony. Also the hotel is in a perfect location, on a nice segment of Robson Street, where the business district morphs into an upscale residential neighborhood.
There are a few signs that it's worn around the edges. The bathrooms sometimes need a major remodeling, for instance. But day-to-day maintenance is good, and the quality of furnishings is good.
Rooms vary widely in size, which is odd for a high-rise modern hotel.
The smallest doubles are fine for a solo traveller, but might be claustrophobic for a couple. Some doubles are bigger than others; hence a polite inquery at check-in might yield a bigger room. The quads (rooms with two double beds) are extremely spacious by any standard, and even two people may find it worthwhile to pay extra for such a room. All things considered, this hotel gives a lot for your money, and is a better value than the more expensive hotels in Vancouver.
I wish I have read the reviews before
A very unpleasant experience. The hotel failed to provide the room that we have reserved. The front desk was unable to offer any solution when we complained. In fact, the person was unhelpful and unfriendly.
Checked out immediately. We were assured that there would be no charge made on our credit card. But they charged it anyway.
We have phoned twice trying to correct this error. The manager has never returned our calls.
If you are reserving your place, think again.
The Empire Landmark wasn't too bad!
My boyfriend and I had no problems with the Empire Landmark Hotel in Vancouver. To our surprise, we didn't think it was bad at all. Granted, it's not the Fairmont Waterfront, but for the price we paid, it was a decent hotel! Right in the middle of Robson Street where much action takes place (shopping, restaurants, cafes, etc), the Empire Landmark was a great location. Walking distance to everything including Denman and Davie Streets! We had a nice room with an exceptional view of English Bay. ...and the balcony was an all-time favorite of ours too...just being able to sit out there and enjoy each other's company especially during sunset! We got the package deal that included breakfast for our first day and that wasn't too bad. Spices restaurant downstairs had a pretty good breakfast buffet!We were very hesitant when we were booking reservations, because we just couldn't believe the price we were getting. But it's a good deal. And the customer service was pretty good too!- JV, Washington DC
Don't stay here
we were not impressed with this hotel..although the lobby area indicates that this is the place to stay, we found the room were we in was small, cold and the bedding did not fit the bed properly. The bathroom was dated and we promptly checked out the next day and went to a hotel that we had previously stayed in which was top!!
I'm pleased to learn you visited us at The Empire Landmark Hotel, yet am very disappointed to read of your unhappy comments with your stay, (albeit sometime ago). Although we are 30 years in operation, rest assured we have had a major renovation program completed in late 2001. Unfortunately, it sounds like you encountered a room that hasn't undergone our recent "winter overhaul" - shampooing all carpets, power washing balconies, recaulking bathtubs, etc. In closing, your comments have helped us to improve internal practices. We of course value your comments & visit; please DO give us another chance, so you may indeed experience the natural operation of this "Landmark" property and brand NEW carpets in the majority of guestrooms.
Jock is the Man!!!
Whenever I am in Vancouver, I ALWAYS stay at the Landmark Hotel. It is in the heart of all the action, has the best view and the best service around. Especially by one gentleman by the name of Jock. He has an incredible memory of clients, and goes beyond the call of duty when it comes to customer service.
Tell him, I sent you,

A lot is made over the post position a horse draws in the Kentucky Derby, but how important is it when determining who will win?
Securing a position in the first 10 gates greatly increases your chance of victory—it's happened 90 times, in fact.
Conversely, a horse starting in the next 10 gates has only crossed the finish line 20 times.
Whereas the No. 9 post is the worst in the top 10 with only four victories, the four wins from the No. 13 gate are the best for post positions 11 to 20.

A great deal of Mike's success can be attributed to his vivid imagination. He admits to pretending he's a superhero like Colossus or Spiderman before he lifts weights (or his partner). It really helps your ability to keep up with a 250 bpm song if you can leap tall buildings in a single bound. He believes that the most important thing in dancing is listening to your partner and having fun. No matter how much technique you have, if you're not having fun with it, there's no point.

WARRENVILLE, Ill. — IC Corp. has announced that school bus prices will increase $6,000 per unit as a result of the EPA requirements on engine emissions that bus and commercial truck OEMs must adhere to with 2007 engines.
The cost increase is associated with changes to the powertrain system designs and new materials required to meet 2007 emissions. For example, additional industry demand is driving higher prices for precious metals in the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) — a significant component in the 2007 emissions-compliant engines.
This pricing affects all IC Corp. school bus models (the CE series, RE series, FE series and BE series) and new commercial models (the HC series, LC series and FC series), regardless of engine model or horsepower.
IC Corp. officials said the engine emissions-related increase is independent of the upcoming model-year increase anticipated to be in the 3 to 5 percent range.
"We are providing pricing information as early as possible so our customers can plan their upcoming budgets accordingly," said Michael Cancelliere, vice president and general manager of IC Corp. "We understand that many school bus customers have fixed budgets and recognize that a price increase will have an impact on them."
IC Corp. officials are confident that its new line of emissions-compliant engines will provide customers with the highest reliability, serviceability and performance. "We've already heard from some school bus customers that they are looking forward to having the cleaner engines in their fleet," Cancelliere said.

Dunblane - Thousands of people lined the streets in gloomy Scottish weather to give Andy Murray a rousing welcome to his home town of Dunblane as he celebrated his Olympic and US Open victories this summer.
Britain's first Grand Slam winner in 76 years arrived on an open-top bus before walking slowly through the town's streets, signing autographs as the crowds chanted his name, waved Scottish flags and lifted homemade placards.
Murray said "so many people, so much support, it's been a bit overwhelming - it will take a few days to sink in."
The 25-year-old Murray beat Novak Djokovic in five sets to win the US Open on Monday and end his agonising wait for a major title, five weeks after overwhelming Roger Federer in the final of the Olympic tournament.

If you're going to commit to something....
So I wasn't blogging today because it was a day full of driving and I wasn't sure anyone really wanted to read about that. BUT, my husband said "If you're going to commit to something you have to follow through." He says our "fans" want to hear from us! So... here I am. I didn't even realize we had fans! Hey guys!

Between the sinking of the Lusitania (the 'official' reason, there is much more to this) and Pearl Harbor (the straw that broke the camel's back), why would the county not enter the war?

British Steel Logo 1969-1999 Designed by David Gentleman
British Steel Logo 1969-1999 Designed by David Gentleman
Famous Logos are a dime a dozen, but the British Steel logo designed by David Gentleman—abandoned in 1999—is one of those rare logo designs that truly stands the test of time. It still looks good now even amongst a swarm of similarly styled monoline designs.
What's extraordinary is that David Gentlemen—what a great name—is not strictly a logo designer. His impressive career spans nearly six decades, and his more notable work includes illustration, stamp design, wood engraving, book and poster design. When the British Steel logo project turned up on David's doorstep—after the main agency had their work turned down—he was under a strict time handicap when he sketched the initial idea for the British Steel logo: two sheets of folded steel.
You can read more over on Eye Magazine- David Gentleman talks about his identity design for British Steel
I'll wrap it up there as there really isn't much else to show in terms of the British Steel logo applied in use: almost like it's been wiped from memory. There are the odd references to this Eye Magazine article, but that's about it. There are not many examples of the logo that can be found online save for same few images doing the rounds. Interestly it would seem that Eye Magazine possible have more British Steel photographs via their Flickr account, but they are set to Private.
Compass Anyone?
But there is one paragraph from an article that Eye Magazine published that took my fancy which describes the British Steel logo as a…
Utterly stupendous. Now to find me a copy of the British Steel identity manual.
The Livery
Is it just me or does the British Steel logo look totally out of place on these lorries—I do, however, just love the British Steel blue; trying to search down an actual colour reference for it.
I can't help but have this sense that the logo was ahead of it's time when viewed with hindsight. It's as though one expects the lorry to be a super streamlined beast rather than one that might be delivery the morning milk. This is by no means a negative slur on the logo as I could never ever find any reason to, but it just seems like a design you would expect to see in use now rather than decades ago.
The British Steel logo much like the NASA logo, or even the CN logo are all timeless and modern worthy classics that share this monoline style of logotype design.
If you have a particularly belated sadness about the passing of the British Steel logo then you can leave your thoughts, prayers and condolonces over at LogoRIP.
Maybe light a candle as well.

Since I'm enjoying another day of 70 degree sunny weather, I don't know how bad it's raining in Chicago but the game is currently being delayed. I assume they'd play two tomorrow if they can't get the game in as I believe this is the Nationals only trip to Chicago this year. It's amazing how one start can skew a pitcher's numbers so early in the season. I put up a preview for Marshall's last game versus the Giants in which he was resoundingly beaten before most fans could get in their seats to enjoy their Gilroy Garlic Fries. His numbers went from "ace in waiting" to "still a rookie". We'll see which Marshall we get tonight (or tomorrow). And just when you think Dusty has trouble filling out a lineup card, Frank Robinson (or one of his assistants as he's not at the game suffering from severe back spasms) has decided to put Soriano as his leadoff hitter. Tough to imagine why these guys are doing even worse than us. If we get it in, go Cubs! Tomorrow is the return of Kid K.
anyone have a more detailed
anyone have a more detailed weather report for those of us out of town? does it look like they will get the game in?
The game is supposed to
The game is supposed to start at 7:55. And our problems are over because Hendry just signed Tony Womack to a minor league contract. Everyone needs at least 5 subpar 2B on their roster.
Sean's ERA is quite
Sean's ERA is quite misleading. His FIP is 3.76, which ain't too bad. His win probability added is sixth on the team, at +46.7%, so he has not killed us.
Here are the Cubs top 10:
1. +104.1% Greg Maddux
2. +78.6% Matt Murton
3. +64.4% Carlos Zambrano
4. +60.3% Scott Eyre
5. +47.0% Derrek Lee
6. +46.7% Sean Marshall
7. +37.6% Jacque Jones
8. +31.9% Bob Howry
9. +15.3% Ryan Dempster (his BS was -69.9% alone!)
10. +12.6% Todd Walker
I didn't subtract the WPA lost for SPs when they batted, but oh well. Here's a link. Juan Pierre....

happen to have a link on the Womack signing?
I guess quality starts is a
I guess quality starts is a decent enough stat, but it would be interesting to find something that puts into context the effects of a blowout loss on a pitcher's numbers. Cause if 1 out of 10 games Marshall throws like a Cy Young, but every 10th game he gets absolutely shelled, I think that would be worth more than a fella who pitched nothing more than average ball those 10 games, yet their overall numbers make look the same. Just a hypothetical of mine....
Clemens has "stepped up his
Clemens has "stepped up his workouts", fwiw. (Read "will sign with the Astros by mid-June")

It's nice to see Jones hit well and score on the squeeze play...The Cubs have some good pitching so far and they finally have some offense that's producing runs...;-)
Damn you Dusty, why do you
Damn you Dusty, why do you bunt so much!!!!
Ya gotta love Walkers clutch
Ya gotta love Walkers clutch hitting and he came through and has helped the Cubs go ahead 4-0 early in the game...The is the way to take some pressure off our pitchers.

Damn, wish we would of kept Juan Cruz....
His start tonight: .2 IP, 5 hits, 3 BB, and 9 ER. ERA at 6.18.
Cruz's ERA with 27.2 innings means about as much as it did when he had 27 (3.33). It means about as much as Greg Maddux's 2006 ERA with 27 IP (0.99). It means about as much as Greg Maddux's 2004 ERA with 27 IP (5.65).
Exactly what is it that some people find so difficult about this concept?

The Reds have conveniently
The Reds have conveniently started a nice losing streak...It looks like St. Louis will be the team to beat in the Cubs' division (and we're about 7.5 games behind them now)...Lets hope Kerry Wood has a very good day pitching tomorrow...It's time for the Cubs to start a new trend that could be their friend. The series with The White Sox will really test the Cubs because they will be going up against some good pitching and we will need our pitchers to keep the team in the games. I think we have Maddux and Zambrano pitching for 2 of the 3 games against The White Sox -- the challenge will be to tame the big bats on the White Sox team....The Cubs are rebuilding confidence and momentum...They need a 3 game sweep going into the White Sox series...Every game counts since we are now about 25% of the way through the season.

Hard-throwing former phenom gets opportunity to resurrect his Cubs career
By David Haugh
Tribune staff reporter
May 17, 2006, 10:45 PM CDT
{..."He can absolutely resurrect his career," said former major-league reliever Dan Plesac, an analyst for Comcast SportsNet. "The gift that Wood has, 95 percent of pitchers don't have. The thing you have to be careful about [in giving up] on a pitcher is that it might be one game or one pitch when that light goes on.
"When you have in your gun what he has in his, anything's possible."...
...Fatheree says he is not overstating Wood's talent when he compares it to Clemens and Roy Oswalt, two guys he caught during Astros spring training the last several years. He also roomed with Oswalt for three seasons as a minor-league teammate.
"Kerry has the same bulldog attitude and throws every bit as well as those two if he is healthy," Fatheree said.
When it comes to Wood and health, "if" has become a four-letter word around Clark and Addison. Back home in Texas, Fatheree joins many who believe success is a matter of when.
Allies insist Wood can come closer to emulating Nolan Ryan, who won 219 games after his 29th birthday, than David Clyde, the phenom who flamed out after being rushed from high school to the Rangers.
"Some things you can't control," Fatheree said of Wood's injuries. "But who knows? After this you might not ever hear about another arm problem with Kerry. If that's the case, look out."...}
There you have it
There you have it folks!
Freddie Bynum: Even his home runs suck.
murton taking that walk to
murton taking that walk to load em up for walker was ginormous. perhaps he would be better in the 2 hole than ronnie (who has cooled off)?
in other words, i stand corrected.
so, kerry wood is back. the 8 figure man with the glass arm. what, 6 innings of shut-out pitching tomorrow? hm? and then some glen or roberto for a couple before the ryan dempster ends it? hm? ya think?
oh and please somebody tell me mabry can play the hot corner, please. no neifi for me. not now.
maddux, carlos, marshall, wood, hill/guzman. hmmmmm...
guzman is way to wild right now. walks, plunks, WPs, hes awful. if he wouldnt kill HIMSELF, he wouldnt be so bad.
and hill, if he would just get more gutsy with that curve (while keeping it DOWN) and not walk so many, he wouldnt be so bad either.
"you only need two pitches.. the one that the hitter is looking for, and the one he isn't".
Nolasco had his 1st start
Nolasco had his 1st start tonight, nothing special, 3.2 IP, 2 runs or something.
His next start though will be against us.
Baseball's fun.
Both the Detroit Tigers and
Both the Detroit Tigers and The Chicago White Sox are now 26 and 13 (they are tied in 1st place with .667 winning averages)...I like the fact that Jim Leyland's team is giving the White Sox some real competition. It would be nice if the Cubs can win the last game against Washington and take a few games from The White Sox this weekend -- it won't be easy BUT it is possible. We'll need to see this version 2.0 of the Cubs that pitches well, makes smart defensive plays and manufactures runs consistently...;-)
Are we actually playing
Are we actually playing against the Cubs? Washington has 0 runs, 5 hits, and 4 errors so far...I've seen that somewhere before.

Oh Gawd, two wins in a row,
Oh Gawd, two wins in a row, Wood coming back, and I'm ready to drink the Kool-Aid again. Some random thoughts:
If Jacque Jones never hit against lefties this season, no fan would be throwing at his head. He's been a monster against righties. I was surprised just how much so when I looked at the splits (yes I know this has been discussed ad nauseum, but I'm slower on the uptake than Manny with Billy Beane).
Prior is actually starting a game! Against rookies! With a baseball not a towel! Woohoo!
Reports that Miller are only 2-3 days behind Prior a few weeks ago would have forced me to ask the question what's 2-3 days less than never? Now I start thinking about how late June could get interesting. I need a shrink.
The kid really rebounded nicely last night from his shelling. Including his shelling, Marshall has a 1.13 WHIP. Not counting that game, he's got a .885 WHIP. So it remains to be seen if that was simply a bad outing or if he has Jerome Willimas (Shawn Estes, whatever) syndrome. As Captian Obvious says "I'd like to see fewer walks."
If Prior Wood and Miller all return strong, who is the odd man out in the rotation? Go with a six man?
Any news on Lee and his short cast? How long until it comes off? Has the timeframe been adjusted at all?
This series against the White Sox doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot in the big picture of the season, but getting swept would sure suck. Anything else is manageable.
Now about this offense...
I don't think you need to
I don't think you need to worry about Prior and Wood and Miller "returning strong." That sort of scenario might happen in the movies, or in our dreams, but never to the Cubs. Seriously. Marshall is here is stay. He is a lefty and we need one in our rotation. And Maddux is here to stay. Z is not going anywhere. So both Prior and Wood won't be starters. Not to worry though, again, the chances of all three of those guys both being healthy and effective must be close to zero.
Progressive Boink is a
Progressive Boink is a rather funny, and sometimes odd site. If you've never read the original Jeter - A-Rod Saga, well, you are in for a treat:
They also do a number on everyones favorite pitcher, Kyle Farnsworth:
Geebus H. Christ, is it true
Geebus H. Christ, is it true Hendry signed Tony F. Womack to a minor league deal? WTF??? How many worthless, pop-gun hitting, sub-600 OPS 2B does one team need, for chrissakes!!
Hairston, Walker, Perez, Bynum, Theriot, and now, Womack. That is increduridiculous. Up next, Darren Jackson, Joe Camel, and Rey Rey hizownself return to Wrigley!
Please fire Jim Hendry.
Did David Haugh really
Did David Haugh really compare Kerry Wood to David Clyde? What an ass. This is why I no longer read the Tribune.
What? Mick Kelleher and
What? Mick Kelleher and Steve Dillard not available?
Geebus H. Christ, is it
Geebus H. Christ, is it true Hendry signed Tony F. Womack to a minor league deal? WTF???
Its a minor league deal. Unless you are a diehard Iowa Cubs fan, there is barely a reason to care about this move.
There were the same irrational fears when Hendry gave Simontacchi a minor league deal, and he didn't even make the roster.
Now, If Womack is ever even rumored to be coming towards Chicago, then panic.
Overheard in Hendry's office
Overheard in Hendry's office yesterday "How soon can Vic Harris or Don Kessinger join the club?"

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.

Manson's shtick tired, performance strong in too-short show
The ghoulish makeup, freaky costumes and grandiose theatricality that made Marilyn Manson such an edgy novelty in the '90s, are, in 2013, mere obligations. At least that's how they came across Friday night at a near-capacity Eagles Ballroom for the first night of Manson's 2013 U.S. tour.
There was one single visual display in Manson's show that was dramatically inspired - the sight of the shock rocker standing at a microphone under a spotlight, as what looked like snow gently landed atop a black, wide-brim hat as he performed "Coma White." But beyond that, the visual signatures were unimaginative, and often cheap. Manson looked unintentionally silly dressed like an archbishop, blasting what looked like a fire extinguisher into the crowd, during "The Love Song." A later outfit was even goofier - a Goth variation of the cop get-up from the Village People - worn without irony during the crowd-pleasing climax "The Beautiful People." »Read Full Article(4)

Summerfest's Violent Femmes video fuels speculation on headliners
Summerfest officials seemed genuinely shocked when the Journal Sentinel informed them Tuesday that a Marcus Amphitheater show June 26 had been posted on the Violent Femmes website.
But within hours, Summerfest officials had transformed the blind side into a golden marketing opportunity that had multiple media outlets speculating who would be playing the amphitheater with the Femmes on Summerfest's opening day. »Read Full Article(7)

On Tap Today: Some talk, a film, a book, a drink and art
Today at noon, the guys at The Disclaimer, a half-hour talk radio show on WMSE-FM (91.7), plan to chat about Dan Bice's recent "No Quarter" column about the increases that Summerfest's CEO Don Smiley has enjoyed in recent years and the process behind it. You can read Bice's column (and the 200 comments) here. You can stream the show, featuring Ryan Schleicher of WMSE, Matt Wild of the A.V. Club Milwaukee and Evan Rytlewski of the Shepherd Express, here.
Later this evening, Milwaukee Film's members-only screening happens at the Oriental at 7 p.m. David Edelstein of New York Magazine described tonight's film, "Cesar Must Die?" this way: "In a scant hour and a quarter it enlarges your notion of what theater and cinema, what art itself, can do — it dissolves every boundary it meets." It's hard to imagine missing that, right? Still, the screening is for members only, folks, and space is limited. If you want in on the deal, email firstname.lastname@example.com and find out how to become a member. »Read Full Blog Post
