Now that we have all gotten over the hangover of a very mediocre PPV from Sunday night, it's time to focus on the future of the WWE and the path toward the hot summer months.
Most notably, who will be the next in line to test John Cena and his will or the will of the WWE?
I made a comparison of Cena to Sting when he was defending the honor of WCW. It appears the man who has 11 world titles in his back pocket and is the WWE's greatest marketing tool, has become more of a solitary man in his fight for the good of the company that has made him a star.
That said, who's next? No, not Goldberg. But someone who can put together a real program with Cena that has some legs and can take him to his limit. Wrestlers like CM Punk, Kane, Alberto Del Rio and The Rock have done their fair share and wrestlers like Tensai and Brock Lesnar have tried and failed.
So what happens now?
As the WWE moves toward the summer and tried to attract more viewers with better PPV events and better angles, here are some wrestlers who could make the summer a little more interesting for Cena.

Junk books and the rise of spamazon
Does the word Spamazon mean anything to you? It's used to describe spammers who fill electronic book marketplaces with junk.
And it makes looking for e-books a time-consuming chore because it means readers have to wade through the same spam that's been clogging their email inboxes for decades.
One place where the number of Junk e-books is multiplying is in Amazon's Kindle story.
That's where you can buy large collections of miscellaneous content for a pittance.
But it's also where spammers are doing whatever they want with the text, from rewriting it, to using it for promotional brochures and even reformatting them as e-books under new titles and author names.

In my novels I have one recurring character named Carrillo Mean who writes books. These book only ever appear as titles such as The Meaning of Mining; The Mining of Meaning; Igneous Intrusions in Southern Tasmania; Creation in the Time of Twilight. And in the epigraphs to my novels I always have a quote from one of Carrillo's books.

Amarin Initiated With BUY At Suntrust $15PT 20 commentsSep 4, 2013 9:29 AM | about stocks: AMRN
Suntrust starts AMRN with BUY and $15 short term price target, citing traction on Vascepa launch and likelihood of wider indication expansion. Does not fully bake wider indication in price target at this time.
Amarin set to soar, my 12-mo target remains $28-32, with AMRN scoring NCE and ultimately being acquired by a larger pharma company.Stocks: AMRNBack To Steve Rosenman's Instablog HomePage »

Steve with the future potential of this drug dont you think $28-32 is too low? i agree with your 12 month target but do you have an extended target past 12 months? if this company is acquired do you think an agreement will be in place that when certain milestones are made more money will be paid out? would like to know your thoughts....thanks
If NCE is granted I could see JZ doing another capital raise to pay off the loan and go all the way. Improving margins and sales should be around the corner (2014). Amarin has done all the heavy lifting already by fielding a sales force, building IP and getting formulary penetration.
One of the great things about the adcom will be the discussion and dissemination of important information about the effects of pure EPA that have been glossed over by investors and analysts alike. We can't buy that type of advertising and publicity. The Japanese have so many positive studies on the effects of EPA it is mind boggling and yet not ONE analyst has covered this in any depth. Once this information becomes more widely known, I hope we begin to see the mainstream press cover it. That is when Amarin will really fly. As of now a great many who write about Vascepa are still referring to it as a "cholesterol" drug ,lol.
I've covered the broader benefits, yeah, it isn't all about Trigs & LDL-C, but you'd never know it from our spoon-fed media outlets who headline PFE funded studies from Italy using small doses of EPA/DHA.
There are several "crucial" decision points. The first one is around December expansion of label to Anchor and how they launch that. If they partner, and they should partner, then that partner is the clear front runner to buy AMRN completely down the road.
Nicely laid out yet something is missing in the translation here. At 5501 scripts in the latest week, AMRN is on a pace for $50M/yr. By the end of 2013 they should be on a trajectory for $100M/yr. With ANCHOR approval, by the end of 2014 they will be on about a $1B/yr pace. That's worth a whole lot more than a $5B purchase price. The only thing holding back scripts at this point is insurance resistance and that is changing quickly. Most insurance companies prefer to wait until a drug is out a full year before changing their formularies. There is nothing in the Vascepa data to discourage them from adding the drug at tier 2 at that point while the ATP 4 findings will cause an equal and opposite reaction towards Lovaza.
Who did not see generic Lovaza coming that has spent anytime investing in AMRN. The sell off is way overdone imo. GSK will really need to look at AMRN now with the generic coming, they can compete with Marine although with a drug that has warnings but on an Anchor level they are just by standers. Reduce It should just put it all to rest...grab some at the discounted level, its a gift and yes 20's will be here before you know it.
Reiterate $28-32, even more conviction on the price target now that court ruling (if it holds up) will direct strategic players to AMRN (now AZN, GSK and Teva must be compelled to go after the superior drug to lock up the market strategy - more info coming with a full article...)

Texas A&M joined the SEC Saturday afternoon in College Station, hosting the Florida Gators in a sold out Kyle Field.
It was the Aggies first SEC game, the first game of the of the 2012 season, and the first game of the Kevin Sumlin era.
Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M showed an exciting first half offense to open up a 17-7 lead midway through the second quarter.
But it proved to be a tail of two halves as Florida came back from 17-10 halftime deficit to shutdown that Aggie offense and score ten unanswered second half points to edge Texas A&M 20-17 in a huge SEC matchup in College Station. Jeff Driskell passed for 162 yards and Mike Gillislee rushed for 83 yards and 2 TDs to lead the Gatrors.
Texas A&M received The Opening kckoff and set up from their 20-yard line. The Aggies used 14 plays to drive 66 yards before kicking a field goal to open the scoring. After a false start, a no gain by Christine Michael, and a loss of two on a pass reception by Ryan Swope, with the Aggies faced a third and seventeen, Johnny Manziel scrambled for 16 yards. A personal foul tacked on 15 yards and gave the Aggies a first down.
Johnny Manziel and the Aggies used a mix of pass and run to march down the field to set the Aggies up with a first and goal at the Florida 7-yard line. After a couple of incompletions, Johnny Manziel scrambled before tossing the ball into the endzone for an apparent Aggie touchdown but was ruled to have crossed the line of scrimmage before throwing the ball, resulting in a 5-yard penalty ad loss of down. Taylor Bertolet came on to kick a 27-yard field goal to give Texas A&M a 3-0 lead at the 10:34 mark in the first quarter.
Florida responded by driving 75 yards in 13 plays on their first possession of the game, with Mike Gillislee scoring a touchdown on a 4-yard run. The extra point by Caleb Sturgis gave Florida a 7-3 lead with 3:51 left in the first quarter.
On the ensuing possession, it was the Johnny Manziel show, as 'Johnny Football' and the Aggies drove 81 yards in 14 plays, with Johnny Manziel scoring on an 11-yard run. The extra point by Taylor Bertolet gave the Aggies a 10-7 lead earl in the second quarter.
On Florida's next drive, the Texas A&M defense stepped up and recorded three sacks, two by Aggie defensive end Damontre Moore, forcing the Gators to punt.
The Aggie offense continued to roll, this time driving 79 yards in 10 plays. True freshman Trey Williams came in for the Aggies and immediately made his presence felt, with a 9-yard run and a 28-yard reception from Johnny Manziel. The Aggies showed some razzle dazzle with receiver Kenric McNeal taking a reverse ansd throwing a 27-yard completion to Mike Evans that gave the Aggies and 1st-and-10 at the Florida 12-yard line. The Aggies kept it on the ground, scoring on a 1-yard run by senior Christine Michael. Bertolet's extra point extended Texas A&M's lead to 17-7 with 7:01 left in the first half.
Florida drove to the Texas A&M 28-yard line before having to settle for a 51-yard Caleb Sturgis field goal that cut the Aggie lead to 17-10 with 1:49 left in the first half.
Johnny and the Aggies drove to the Florida 27-yard line before the first half clock ran out with Ryan Swope caught a pass from Manziel but was tackled inbounds, and Texas A&M took a 17-10 lead into halftime.
Statistically, Texas A&M dominated the game much more than the score indicated, leading in first downs, 18 to 9, and in total yards, 269 to 101.
For Texas A&M, Johnny Manziel had completed 16 of 20 passes for 141 yards and had rushed for 41 yards and 1 TD on 9 carries. Mike Evans led Aggie receivers with 2 receptions for 34 yards and Christine Michael was the rushing workhorse with 11 carries for 26 yards.
Florida quarterback Jeff Driskell was a perfect 6-for-6 passing for 82 yards but was sacked four times. Jordan Reed had caught 3 passes for 49 yards and Mike Gillislee had rushed for 35 yards and 1 TD on 9 carries.
Florida received the second half kickoff and methodically drove down to the Texas A&M 6-yard line before the Aggie defense forced the Gators to settle for a 25-yard Caleb Burgess field goal that cut the Aggie lead to 17-13 with 11:02 left in the third quarter.
Texas A&M went 3-and-out their first two possessions of the second half. But the Aggie defense also forced two Florida punts and the third quarter ended with Texas A&M still leading 17-13 and facing 3rd-and-3 from their 19-yard line.
Johnny Manziel was sacked on the first play of the fourth quarter, forcing another Aggie punt. Florida set up with good field position at their 38-yard line.
It took Florida just four plays to score. After Jeff Driskell completed a 39-yard pass to Omarius Hines, Mike Gillislee ran 12 yards for his second touchdown of the day. A Sturgis extra point gave Florida a 20-17 lead with 13:05 left in the third quarter.
Three more Aggie possessions, three more Aggie punts gave Florida a 1st-and-10 from their 14-yard line with 3:13 left in the game.
A facemask penalty gave the Gators a first down at their 30-yard line. Florida picked up another first down on a 12-yard Solomon Patton run. Facing a 2nd-and-10, Jeff Driskell scrambled 21 yards for a first down, enabling Florida to run out the clock and leave College Station with a hard fought 20-17 win.
For Texas A&M, it was another second half disappointment, scoring no points and picking up just three first downs the second half.
For the game, Texas A&M and Florida both had 21 first downs, and Texas A&M led Florida in total yards, 334 to 306.
The Texas A&M defense had a solid performance, sacking Florida quarterback Jeff Driskell eight times.
For Texas A&M, Johnny Manziel completed 23 of 30 passes for 173 yards and rushed for 60 yards and 1 TD on 17 carries. Mike Evans was the go to receiver, catching 7 passes for 60 yards. The Aggies running backs only gained 74 yards, split between Christine Michael (13 for 33 yards), Ben Malena (3 for 23 yards), and Trey Williams (5 for 18 yards).
For Florida, Jeff Driskell completed 13-of-16 passes for 162 yards. Jordan Reed caught 5 passes for 59 yards, Mike Gillislee rushed for 83 yards and 2 TDs on 14 carries.
Texas A&M (0-1 SEC) will look to rebound when they travel to Dallas to face SMU next Saturday afternoon.
Florida (2-0, 1-0 SEC) faces Tennessee next Saturday night in an SEC clash.

Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Two things of note from the Iowa Cubs' road win in Salt Lake City yesterday:
1. Jake Fox played catcher after a game at 3B earlier on the trip. Is his versatility on display for potential trade suitors?
2. Kevin Hart threw three innings of perfect relief highlighted by five strikeouts in easily his most encouraging outing of the season.
In more routine news, Fox also slammed his 17th homer of the year, drove in four more runs and was named the PCL Player of the Week for last week. Ho-hum...MW
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
If he can channel Lloyd McClendon in his "ability" to catch for 3-4 batters when a team is losing and a double-switch is needed, and to stand once every three weeks at 3B when David Wright needs a day off or there's a blowout, he would be a good fit for the Delgado-less Mets. But do the Mets have anybody we'd want back in return?

Even the Mets would have to have someone better than Neal Cotts...
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
heck ... we might have better than Neal Cotts (I wouldn't be against Casey Lambert getting a look ... I still think his future is in the pen, and I think he has pen ready stuff right now).
As for Fox, I think an AL team is probably the best fit, for obvious reasons. He can DH, play some first, occasionally pinch in the corner OF, act as the emergency catcher, and every blue moon, play 3rd.
The Mets plan seems to be, based on an article that came out last week (forget where) to go with what they have and see how far along FMart is come June. If he's ready, Dan Murphy could pinch at first. If not, maybe they'd investigate the trade market, but this being New York, and Omar, I'm not sure they'd go after a minor leaguer unless Fox got some big league AB's.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Why the big hurry to trade Jake Fox? This team has lost its best hitter for an extended period of time and are trying to patch it up with three guys who weigh a total of 450 pounds. Why not bring Fox up, cut Patton loose, and put Fox out there for a couple 7 inning games a week at 1B and 3B? Is Patton that good that the Cubs can afford to carry a spare part just to have a reliever next season? I find it almost embarrassing that Jake Fox still sits at Iowa with those numbers while we tread water with an underperforming infield (minus the shortstop). At worst we'd have a pretty good lefty/righty pinch hit tandem with Hoffpauir and Fox that might negate a bullpen move or two.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
The Cubs aren't treading water, and a good month of hitting in AAA doesn't make you Aramis Ramirez.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
No, Fox is not the hitter that Ramirez is, but it's a possible asset to use in place of a known non-asset (Patton). Fox > Miles? Fox > Fontenot? Fox > Scales? Why not find out? Strike while the iron is hot.
Maybe it's early to call this stretch "treading water", we'll see what they do against teams a notch above Houston and San Diego before that terms settles in. Piniella seems to think the term fits.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
just to be clear, I'm in no hurry to trade Fox, was just responding to the post.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
While it is much, much too early to evaluate the DeRosa trade, I was curious to see how the three pitchers the Cubs got back were doing so far.
John Gaub is a 6'2" 200lb lefty, pitching in relief for AA Tennessee. In 11.2 IP he has 20 Ks, a 1.54 ERA, and a .154 average against.
Christopher Archer is a 6'3" 180lb righty, starting for A Peoria. In 25 IP he has a 1.80 ERA with 30 Ks and a .181 average against.
Jeff Stevens is 6'2" 205lb righy, pitching in relief for AAA Iowa. In 16 IP he has a 2.16 ERA with 13 Ks and a .143 average against.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
It was never as bad a deal as people made it out to be, although it was certainly disappointing when it happened as DeRosa was a good team guy. Haven't heard velocity reports on Gaub - up until his junior year, he was in the low-mid 90's, but then got hurt, iirc, and since then, was only low 90's. Off the top, a plus slider. Very solid LOOGY prospect.
Stevens is sort of in that Kevin Hart mold for me - capable of filling some role in the bigs, but not sure how key of a role it would be.
Archer was the prize of that trade, with the plus fast/plus curve. Love how he's done so far, and love his starting potential. Definitely has work to do with, um, the change, along with command, but Archer and Carpenter have been excellent down in Peoria (wouldn't mind seeing Carpenter get a look in Daytona soon - Archer has a ways to go and is young enough to keep him in Peoria for the whole year, imo).
"May Top 10"
Someone asked AzPhil's thoughts in a post yesterday, and I just wanted to ask it again. I was messing around with a list, just my own fan's take, for fun. As with all lists, more for discussion value. But I was messing around and in a quick run through, a possible top 10 I came up with is below.
1. Josh Vitters, A-. Power has been showing up.
2. Jeff Samardzija, B+. Easy to forget his 3rd full pro season. Control in AAA has been sharpened but more work. I hated the call up..
3. Jay Jackson, B. Slow start, but has gotten it going. I was one of those that had him highly ranked entering this year (had him 3rd, same order as above) and don't see a reason to change it.
4. Dan McDaniel, B. I was huge on him last year, but this has been better than I thought. Yes, I'll take his value ahead of Cashner. Cashner's got better stuff, but I don't think it's by enough to offset McDaniel's starting potential.
5. Andrew Cashner, B. I'm still not huge on Cashner due to the control.
6. Ryan Flaherty, B. Hasn't had the huge season, but I'm not worried as the discipline is there.
7. Tony Thomas, B. Very disappointed with the SB%. That's just eh. Other than that (and defensive concerns), excellent season that's sort of gone under the radar nationally, IMO.
8. Starlin Castro, B-. If he simply stayed afloat after the huge jump, I would've been happy. The fact that he has a 7 game hit streak and has gotten his offense going is just pudding.
9. Marcos Mateo, B-. Control has been better last couple of times out.
10. Dae-Eun Rhee, B-. Wary of ranking him higher until he gets back out there, but that's me being conservative.
Anyhow was wondering what folks thought on that quick run through. I think the system is improving, and I think there's hope, particularly lower down. Had a bunch of names that I pondered in the last few top 10 slots (Jose Ascanio, Hak-ju Lee, Chris Carpenter, Tyler Colvin, Jake Fox, Casey Coleman, Steve Clevenger, Welington Castillo).
Re: "May Top 10"
Unfortunately I fear that Vitters is really over-rated at this point.
His walk rate has been Ryan Harvey-esque up to this point.
Even Brian Dopirak put up big Midwest league numbers in his 2nd full pro season.
As Corey Patterson,Felix Pie,Harvey,Dopirak have all shown us over the years. If you can't control the strike zone, you can't be a consistent offensive force at the major league level.
Re: "May Top 10"
the low walk rate concerns me, but almost all the scouting reports suggest he controls the zone real well and that it's a case of the pitching at the lower levels basically not being challenging enough. At some point, one wonders if his plate coverage can really compensate, or if he can learn to take more walks as he mvoes up, but I'm not too worried yet. That's why I think, within a month's time, I'd really like to see vitters at Daytona. Keedy doesn't interest me all that much, tbh, and Rosa's future may be at first anyways (big fan of Rosa, but he had an injury and those swing problems this year so he has struggled). I was more concerned about Vitters' power, to be honest.
Only time will tell.
Re: "May Top 10"
I really think for guys at that level it's more about what they are capable of rather than what they actually do and Vitters is very nicely built and has nice potential. Now it's up to Cubs coaching to teach him how to be a real ball player.
Re: "May Top 10"
Vitters's low BB rate bothers me a little, but less so since his K rate is pretty low. The dude seems to be hitting everything he's swinging at.
Ryan Harvey, for example, swung and missed a lot. The numbers seem to say that Vitters is swinging a lot, but not missing anything.
Re: "May Top 10"
Ryan Searle should at least be in the conversation.
Re: "May Top 10"
yeah, he's been a nice surprise. after the ba comments about him, i wasn't sure what to expect.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Completely unrelated question. I used to watch the Daily Rewind on MLB.com all the time. It would be a 25 minute video with 2-3 minutes of highlights per game, that would recap every game from the day before. Basically, Sportscenter without all of the other crap I don't really care that much about. It's been a couple of summers since I watched it regularly, but I can't find it now. Does anyone know if MLB.com did away with it?
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Dopirak this year in AA:
Did they really fix his swing?
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
May 9,
MANCHESTER – Brian Dopirak clobbered the Defenders in a career night, leading the Fisher Cats to an 18-6 slugfest win at Merchantsauto.com Stadium last night.
The hulking slugger homered twice, doubled twice, tripled and finished with eight RBIs in the 5-for-6 outing. All eyes were on Dopirak in the eighth inning to see if he'd single for the first-ever cycle in franchise history.
He doubled, leaving him with a mere 15 total bases, easily the best single-game hitting performance in Fisher Cats history.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
If you get the new MLB Network on your cable/satellite line up, they have a show like that, all extended highlights of each game, late at night and rebroadcast the following day over and over until 11 am with no analysis. It's called Quick Pitch.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Good to know, but it won't help my particular situation. I no longer have cable, basically because they took away WGN. I kept it mainly just to watch some of the Cubs games on real TV rather than MLB.TV. Now I am just watching them all online and canceled my cable. But I did enjoy watching sportscenter during breakfast to see what else was going on in baseball. Now it seems my only option is to watch each highlight individually on MLB or watch each games very short highlights (with commercials to start) on ESPN, which is simply not doable. I want something I can play and leave on for a while I am getting ready in the morning.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
What's the problem? The MLB highlights play automatically once you start with one.
Re: MLB.com Daily Rewind
looks like it's gone...closest option would be to bookmark this page:
and then click on each 2 minute highlight package for each game in the morning...hopefully they continue to order it by the latest posted.

Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Seriously-- is Jake Fox going for the best AAA season of all-time?
.429/.513/.968 (1.462)
I realize that there's not really any place to put him-- the only positions he can play (poorly) are already blocked by people making a lot of money (LF Soriano, RF Bradley, 1B Lee).
But those offensive numbers are SICK.
I suppose it might make sense to try him out at 3B, which is what Iowa did a couple nights ago (Fox caught last night and had 2 PBs), but I guess the Cubs aren't feeling they need him there right now (which I understand because, well, the Cubs are playing fairly well at the moment).
I wonder would be see Fox only if Lee had/has to go on the DL, or if Bradley or Soriano get injured (not that I'm advocating more injuries, just wondering).
Mike Wellman-- are you able to watch Fox in the field? What's he like out there?
My guess is that Fox is an insurance policy right now and if he continues to rake, he might be worth a missing part or two around June/July.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
ROMERO, welcome to the site - lol!
Thanks Mike for the "Heart-full" report. Unfortunately, to this point, as soon as Kevin gets to a major-league ballpark, and makes it to the mound, he forgets his control - and that hitters in the MLB sit on fastballs with no movement.
He does not suffer from lack of talent. With Hart, its all "upstairs". If the team had a sports psychologist, like the Red Sox and a couple other teams, it would do him some good, imo.
I want to nominate "toonsterwu" for the most weird "handle" of the month!

Yeah, it's weird.

Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Fox at third for a month? Count me in.
...just to see if he can outhit Fontenot. It would put Fontenot in a role he's more useful at (backup IF) and gives Miles even less playing time which I'm all for. Unfortunately it would probably end the warm and fuzzy feelings of Bobby Scales being up here.
Might be an ugly glove but I see it as an improvement for the offense until ARam returns. He can't be too much worse than Ryan Braun was (or this years Matt Gamel experience at 3B) and it just might upgrade his trade value (to an AL team) as well as helping as righty DH in the interleague games coming soon.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
I endorse the Mat Gamel comparisons to Jake Fox. I'm a big believer in pitching & defense over offense, but at this point you almost have to give him a chance and see what he can do. He's absolutely destroying the PCL.
And PS --
Bobby Scales is here to stay. ;)
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
I hate to burst the Bobby Scales bubble, but he can't field 3b, and if teams consistently start throwing him breaking balls he's already proven he can't lay off them and can't hit their either. So he's a mediocre 2b, which Hendry seems to collect by the bunch.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Sounds to me like you relish it.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
No, I was happy for the guy getting his shot, and his hitting has been a pleasant surprise, but opposing pitchers seem to be having brain cramps when they pitch to him. His first week he showed repeatedly he can't lay off a breaking ball and can't hit them, looking terrible taking weak half swings. But they keep throwing him fastballs and he's been doing a good job hitting those.
If I were pitching to him and could get my breaking balls over the plate for strikes, I would never throw him a fastball. And those scouting reports will get around.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
I just don't think there's a bubble to burst. He's performed well for a 54 year old backup who's been called upon to play regularly due to an injury. Does anyone really think he's the answer to anything?
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
He's definitely the answer to the question: what does regression to the mean look like?
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
What do Bobby Scales and Felix Pie have in common?
They both strike out in a quarter of their at bats.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs

Oh, wait, that's just Pie. Scales is a backup.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Don't worry, TRN is just looking for a way to reconcile Scale's success so far b/c he looked at Scale's minor league stats and didn't see it coming.
I did.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Yes, Ryno, the amazing super scout who knows more than all the major league GM's.
He has a nice stroke, you're right about that. He also has very poor bat speed. In the majors he's just a guess hitter, and as we will see over the next few weeks guess hitters with JuCo level bat speed won't be very successful in the big leagues.
A new Inbox will be posted later Monday -- I know the hirejimessian people will be happy to read that. I get a lot of repeat mailbag questions so will try to address some here: The Cubs abandoned the high tech batting helmets they used last year because they were always breaking. They also have dumped the red-billed caps because it's easier to deal with one. There's nothing I can do to get more games on WGN or to realign the divisions. And Matt P. of Tampa will be happy to know the equipment guys are working on straightening out the crooked "C" on some of the batting helmets.

Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs

He's outhitting Fontenot big time.
End of story.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
The Real Neal:
What do Bobby Scales and Felix Pie have in common?
They both strike out in a quarter of their at bats.
I'll go out on a limb and wager $5 virtual dollars that Scales will outproduce Pie at the big league level this year in terms of OPS.
And it's no mistake or mystery. Scales knows how to hit and Pie does not. Sure Pie might have more ability or raw talent, but when you're swiping the bat around like a retard that doesn't really matter much.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
there's not a GM out there who'd take scales over fontenot, though.
scales don't project for much. he has todd-walker-like defense (the older version) and is pretty much a slap hitter who's gonna swing a ton.
he's got 4xbase hits out of his 8 hits and that's a hell of a lucky start. it's a bit misleading, though.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
I hope Scales becomes our Pujols, but I suspect he's only a darker Dan Rohn.
Speaking of Pujols, Garry Meier on WGN Radio today was having people come up with their best Pujols nicknames. One of the few he said he could read on the air was Albert "Cleans My" Pujols.

Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Yes that was embarassingly feeble, maybe Piniero had the night of his life but the guy doesn't usually have dominate stuff and usually bad control on top of that.
I hope this isn't the kind of game that sends the offense into a funk. Just have to move on tomorrow and hope Carpenter isn't 'old Carpenter' tomorrow.

i would have iowa start fox at third base a few games in a row,his numbers are much better then other three mentioned.
which pitcher goes on friday?
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
If we swing at the first pitch all the way through the lineup all game long, it almost doesn't matter who's pitching. No way to really know if Piniero had a great night, the way the Cubs hitters handed it to him. Jeez
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Cubs hitters musta had a bachelor party or some shit to go to. Jeez. It was like Dusty was managing.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
yeah i just saw where he threw 92 pitches in nine innings.
maybe we need to dust off freel and let him start a few in a row at third.
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
where am i going to find fontenots batting splits for playing third vs second ?
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Only a marginal difference:
213/340/685 at 2nd
203/424/707 at 3rd
4 out of 5 of his homers at 3rd.

Okay then
Re: Hart-Fox Battery Charges I-Cubs
Need Fox Now
this is ridiculous that we have Miles, Scales, Freel, Johnson, Hill on the bench - that has to be the lightest hitting bench of all time. Hoff is the only respectable bat on the bench.
Fox was a catcher all through college and his first seasons in the minors - I can't believe he can't be serviceable there given the bench is calling every pitch. Give Soto/Lee some days off and get Hoff and Fox some at bats!

J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.

Phils do not offer arbitration to Moyer or Burrell The team also said no to Tom Gordon and Rudy Seanez.
December 2, 2008
By Todd Zolecki INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The Phillies did not offer Jamie Moyer or Pat Burrell salary arbitration before last night's midnight deadline, a league source said. This means the Phillies will not receive draft picks as compensation if either player signs with another team. Both are Type A free agents, which means the Phils would have received two draft picks if either player had signed elsewhere. But the Phillies, who would not comment last night, must have felt the compensation was not worth it. The fact that the Phillies did not offer Moyer or Burrell arbitration does not mean the players won't be back in 2009.
Marlins'Uggla slams Phillies He ripped a bases-loaded homer off Tom Gordon.
June 12, 2008
By Todd Zolecki INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Tom Gordon sat stoically in front of a computer screen last night in the corner of the visitors' clubhouse at Dolphin Stadium, where hitters typically spend hours studying and dissecting film. The Phillies reliever also studied and dissected. But Gordon mostly relived his disastrous ninth inning in a 6-2 loss to the Florida Marlins, which moved the Marlins within two games of the Phillies in the National League East. Gordon had no command of his fastball, and it cost him. He loaded the bases, walking two batters on four pitches each, before Dan Uggla hit a 3-1 fastball into the second deck in left field for a game-winning grand slam.
A tribute: Closer to closer Tom Gordon will wear No. 45, the same as Tug McGraw.

By Todd Zolecki INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Tom Gordon must have been just 9 or 10 at the time, but he remembers the moment vividly. He and his father were watching the Atlanta Braves play the Phillies. It must have been late in the game and the Phillies must have been winning because Gordon's father turned to him and said, "Son, that's Tug McGraw pitching. " To which Gordon responded, "Dad, his name is Tug?" But Gordon, whose nickname is "Flash" and whom the Phillies introduced as their new closer yesterday at Citizens Bank Park, has an appreciation for McGraw.

In the clubhouse, all Tom Gordon could do was talk about the Phillies' offense. And why wouldn't he? The offense had just bailed the closer out in the ninth inning last night at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies used big plays and timely hitting to beat Florida, 6-5, after Gordon had blown his third save attempt of the season, allowing the Marlins to tie the game in the top of the inning. They won it when catcher Carlos Ruiz, who went 3 for 5, singled with the bases loaded "Right now, they're carrying us," Gordon said.
Phils come up short in ninth Closer Tom Gordon allowed a run in the last frame, then his teammates blew a chance to rally.

The bullpen doors opened, Tom Gordon stepped out, and Queen's "Flash's Theme" played. His moment had arrived. Gordon, who replaced Billy Wagner as the Phillies' closer this season, took the mound in the top of the ninth inning in a tie game last night at Citizens Bank Park. Then he allowed a run to score in a 4-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals that featured Jimmy Rollins' extending his lifetime hitting streak to 38 games in the bottom of the first. The Phillies will try to avoid a series sweep this afternoon.

Every loss counts the same, but don't believe for a second that every loss feels the same. That truth could be found everywhere last night at Miller Park. It started with the quiet that filled the visitors' clubhouse, where the Phillies tried to collect themselves after they blew a four-run lead in a 6-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. It continued with the door to Charlie Manuel's office that remained closed for at least 45 minutes after the game, highly unusual for the typically affable and buoyant manager.

There was the well-documented arrest of Brett Myers. There were plane problems and rain delays, lopsided losses and rainouts, lousy pitching and nonexistent clutch hitting. No wonder a Phillies executive yesterday called it "the road trip from hell. " That was before the Phillies, sparked by Ryan Madson's superb pitching and David Dellucci's two-run, first-inning homer, ended a seven-game losing streak last night by blanking the Baltimore Orioles, 4-0, in front of 31,038 at steamy Camden Yards.

A road trip that started so promisingly ended yesterday with Phillies players walking around the clubhouse with expressions of stunned disbelief on their faces. They knew they let one get away in a 7-6 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in 10 innings at Busch Stadium. They knew they could have had more than five wins on this nine-game trip. "We had a chance, after we won three in Atlanta, to have a better record," manager Charlie Manuel said. "In some ways, I'm disappointed we didn't win six or seven games, but that's the way it goes.
Diamondbacks land Sexson in 9-player deal

Right after trading off a power pitcher, Arizona acquired a power hitter who ranks among the best in the game. The Diamondbacks got Richie Sexson, 28, from Milwaukee in a nine-player deal yesterday that sent infielder Craig Counsell and second baseman Junior Spivey to the Brewers. First baseman Lyle Overbay, catcher Chad Moeller and lefthanders Jorge De La Rosa and Chris Capuano also were dealt to Milwaukee. Arizona also received lefthander Shane Nance and a player to be named.
Phillies And Royals Talking

By Jayson Stark, Inquirer Staff Writer
The Kansas City Royals now have a gaping hole in left field where Bo Jackson used to reside. And it may be the Phillies who could help them fill it. Royals general manager Herk Robinson acknowledged yesterday that he had had a number of conversations with Phillies general manager Lee Thomas over the last two months. And while he didn't name the people discussed, he left a clear impression that they included Von Hayes and John Kruk. "I can't totally deny that we have discussed names in the last couple of months," Robinson said.

Phillies open-minded when it comes to closer
February 23, 2016
By David Murphy, Daily News Columnist
CLEARWATER, Fla. - This might be one of those things that only interests me - Lord knows there's enough of them - but the Phillies' approach to the closer position this year might be more emblematic of the organization's philosophical shift than any other spot on the roster. Sunday afternoon, a reporter asked Pete Mackanin for a synopsis of the criteria he will use to select the pitcher who gets the first crack at the ninth inning once the regular season starts, and he instead offered a verbal shrug.
Phillies Notes: Phils' Sweeney has a big fan in Dee Gordon
August 25, 2015
By Jake Kaplan, Inquirer Staff Writer
MIAMI - The day after he made his first major-league hit a pinch-hit home run, Darnell Sweeney started his first big-league game. The Phillies' newest position player manned center field and batted sixth in the team's 2-0 win against the Miami Marlins on Sunday afternoon. He did not manage a hit, but drew walks in three of his four plate appearances in the finale of the four-game series at Marlins Park. The start capped a memorable first weekend for Sweeney, whose first series as a big-leaguer came about a 20-minute drive from his childhood home in Hollywood, Fla. It also was against one of his good friends in Dee Gordon, the Marlins' two-time all-star second baseman whose .335 batting average is the best in baseball.
Phillies excited about seventh pick
June 6, 2014
BY JAKE KAPLAN, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com
SINCE USING first-round picks from 1998-2002 on four key pieces to the 2008 World Series championship team, the Phillies' top picks in MLB's First-Year Player Draft have amounted to mostly trade pieces and flat-out misses. No players drafted in the first round post-2002 currently play on the big-league club. Anthony Hewitt, the 24th overall pick in 2008, is in Single A Clearwater. Zach Collier, chosen 10 picks later, is in Double A Reading. The jury is still out on several recent picks - namely lefthander Jesse Biddle (2010)

The Phillies have much at stake during Major League Baseball's first-year player draft, which begins Thursday and concludes Saturday. Selecting No. 7, the Phillies will have their highest pick since choosing current Atlanta Braves righthander Gavin Floyd No. 4 in 2001. Thursday will feature the first and second rounds along with competitive balance rounds A (after the first round) and B (after the second), which awards extra picks to teams thought to need the most assistance.
Phillies Notes: Ruf sent down
June 3, 2014
By Matt Gelb, Inquirer Staff Writer
Darin Ruf arrived Sunday morning at Citizens Bank Park with a decent shot at being in Ryne Sandberg's lineup against Mets lefthander Jon Niese. But shortly after 10 a.m., he received news of a demotion to triple-A Lehigh Valley. He packed his red Phillies bag. "They send you out, Ruf?" a surprised teammate asked. Ruf nodded. The 27-year-old power bat fell victim to a roster crunch as a result of consecutive 14-inning games. The Phillies needed arms; they recalled Phillippe Aumont and purchased Cesar Jimenez's contract.
Phillies likely to target pitching in draft
June 2, 2014
By Marc Narducci, Inquirer Staff Writer
Teams in all sports often get in trouble when they draft based on their needs, but the Phillies will have to consider looking for pitching, especially early in Major League Baseball's First-Year Player Draft, which runs from Thursday to Saturday. Starting pitching is a major weakness of the Phillies' minor-league system. And while the draft is a crapshoot, the Phillies, who pick seventh in the first round, will have to seriously consider bolstering their pitching with their first selection.

September 30, 2011
YOU HEAR IT all the time, that each year's Phillies team owns a different personality than the one before. But only when you scan the rosters of the Phillies teams responsible for their string of five straight division titles does the axiom become emphasized. Scott Eyre, Eric Bruntlett, So Taguchi, Tadahito Iguchi, Clay Condrey. Tom Gordon, Rudy Seanez, Chad Durbin, Abraham Nunez. Antonio Alfonseca, Jose Mesa, Paul Bako, Chan Ho Park. Tyler Walker, Jack Taschner . . . You get the gist.
Phillies Notebook: Lidge returns to familiar role, at least for one game
August 4, 2011
BY DAVID MURPHY, firstname.lastname@example.com
DENVER - Well before the start of yesterday's game, Brad Lidge learned that the Phillies would be taking the field without their closer as Ryan Madson headed to Los Angeles to be with his wife for the birth of their fourth child. Lidge did not know whether that meant he would be the top option in a save situation. He had not had a save since last season, when he was still 5 months away from the shoulder and elbow trouble that would cost him the first half of 2011. But manager Charlie Manuel had no doubt.

BY THE END of the night, the Phillies' offense had produced three runs, their shortstop had missed his second straight game with a swollen knee, their first baseman had fouled a ball off an ankle, and there was significant cause to question which of their former closers was more game-ready: Brad Lidge, whose attempted return from a rotator-cuff strain has been interrupted by soreness in his elbow, or retiree Tom Gordon, who returned to Citizens Bank...
Phillies Notes: Howard takes Bonds' advice, swings with it

During the off-season, Ryan Howard participated in some workouts with former Giants slugger Barry Bonds . They met for lunch in August when the Phillies traveled to Los Angeles. They have become friends. The two kept in touch occasionally as the season progressed. So, naturally, with the Phillies taking on Bonds' former team, it was time for another chat, right? "No, not yet," Howard said Friday. "I may give him a call and see what's going on - talk some trash, maybe.

Maxi Pollo Mojara: this place does fish too
Though on first thought, fish did not come to our minds when coming to San Gil but it was on a big river and there seemed to be no shortage of restaurants selling it. We had a good experience with trout in the El Cocuy area which was all mountains so why not give it a try here? Back we went to Maxi Pollo to find that chicken was not all they were "famous" for. This was an evening meal and we found out the cavernous chicken outlet was even more boisterous than during their already busy lunchtime trade.
Favorite Dish: We both chose the mojara as it was noted for the area and was cheap as well. Unfortunately, broiled is not an option at a "fried" kind of place like Max Pollo and out they came, fried pretty much to perfection. They were not particularly greasy but mojara is an oily fish much like catfish so it's not really necessary to fry it. That said, it was very tasty if a bit rich, especially since you get a whole fish each. It came with fries and a couple of mozzarella sticks, as if you needed more fried items! There was a slice of tomato and a few pickled onions for good effect. I had two beers and D nursed a coke as her tummy was still less than perfect, though obviously good enough to finish off her fish. Though she enjoyed the mojara, it is a bonier fish than she likes. I'm used to catfish so it's fairly similar and I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor.

Chicken Krunch Fish: had everything BUT chicken here
We enjoyed our fish meal at Max Pollo so much we decided to go for another one the next day before leaving town but opted for trying the ones at Chicken Krunch. They had Trucha (or trout) advertised outside and Doreen was not overly fond of the bony mojara fish we had the night before. Chicken Krunch is a long and fairly large neon-lit restaurant full of locals, even in the middle of the afternoon. You order your food at the counter and they bring it out to you. It's not exactly romantic candle-lit affair but very much an authentic South American fast food type of place.
Favorite Dish: I went for the mojara again as it was very tasty the night before and seemed to be a specialty of the town. It is also a bit cheaper. Doreen had the trucha or trout and was very happy with the fish that resembled salmon in its orange coloring and was not bony in the least. The meals were very large, featuring not only fries but mozzarella sticks and fried plantains, along with what seemed ubiquitous in Tunja, pickled onions. We had a large coke and I'm sure I had a beer or two. The bill came to 25,000 COP ($12.50).
Directions: Also on Calle 10, just up the street from both Maxi Pollo and Hotel Centro Real.

El Maizal: possibly best arepas in Colombia
While we had enjoyed both our lunch and dinner the previous day, we were looking for something a littler healthier and down to earth the next morning for breakfast. Not that either Chicken Krunch or Maxi Pollo were not very typical South American affairs, but to be honest they are more the fast food approximations of the continent than the family style hole-in-the-walls we crave. So, we were very happy to find El Maizal also on our street, right on the corner. It had been closed the previous evening and so it seemed more of a breakfast/lunch place.
Favorite Dish: This very small place, with only three tables fills up quickly and we could see why when they brought out a steaming bowl of caldo de papas as a starter. This non-meat version of the Colombian standard breakfast soup was very tasty, laced with cilantro. D loved it and I was pretty happy too. It was followed up with huevos pericos (scrambled eggs with onions and tomatoes), with some sliced rolls and some of the very nicest homemade/fresh arepas we had on the whole trip. It also came with a hot chocolate. A very sizable meal for the two of us came to 11,000 COP ($5.50). Needless to say we went back the next day for breakfast!
Directions: On Calle 10, between Maxi Pollo and Hotel Centro Real, right on the corner.

Chicken Krunch: Chicken Krunch has pork too!
We noticed another chicken place on the same street as the one we had lunch at and this one had a more extensive meat menu so we decided to give Chicken Krunch a shot. Much to our delight, it was an equally tasty meal and we were glad we did not play it safe by going back to the same place. It was a similarly long and large place, bustling with lots of people enjoying their tasty food.
Favorite Dish: Since we had had a time time finding pork on this Colombian trip, we both opted for the Lomo de Cerdo (8,500 COP)which came with only fries, but a couple baked potatoes, a pair of mozzarella sticks, and a few pickled onions! The pork was juicy and very nicely marinated. The two meals with one beer (2,200 COP) and one coke (1,300 COP) came to 20,500 COP ($10). Very good quality and very ample.

Maxi Pollo: buc, buc, buc
The town was not overly ambitious in the food realm and the few interesting places listed in our guidebook had gone by the wayside so we played it safe and went for rotisserie chicken for our first meal in San Gil. Maxi Pollo hit the spot nicely and our second foray into the world of chicken in Colombia was not disappointing. It was a long and quite cavernous place full of locals chowing down on their plump birds.
Favorite Dish: Since the chickens are so plump and large in South America, we ordered just half a bird with fries, a beer, and a coke for the reasonable price of 11,000 COP ($5.50). It was one of the tastiest skins we've ever had on a rotisserie chicken and the meat was done perfectly.
Directions: Just up the road from our hotel, Centro Real, on Calle 10.

Fruit salad at the market
The market is situated on block from Parque La Libertad and here you can buy most things that usually are sold at a market. And in San Gil they sell freshly made fruit juices and fruit salads, which is absolutely worth coming for.
I bought a big fruit salad here and as it was made while I was looking I could tell if there was a fruit I didn't want to have in it (like pineapple). I also said no thank you to the cheese and sweet milky sauce they always want to put on the fruit salads in Colombia. I got a big fresh fruit salad and it was only 2000 pesos (August 2008).

One evening we were some people from the hostel who were going out together to have dinner. We ended up at a pizzeria where they had a big variety of pizzas, and pizzas in different sizes. We had four big pizzas to share among us and beer or soft drinks to drink. We then split the bill and I paid 13 000 pesos (August 2008).
It was busy and we had to wait quite long for the pizzas, but they were good.
Directions: The pizzeria is situated one block up from the restaurant where I had eaten grilled chicken, also in a corner on Calle 10.
Grilled chicken
There are several restaurants around Calle 10, but not all were open when I first looked for a place to eat after my arrival to San Gil. On Calle 10 I found a fast food place selling chicken dishes and it looked very popular. It was full at the tables and many people came in to buy take away.
I ordered a plate with grilled chicken, French fries, rice and salad, and a beer to drink. It all tasted very good and the food was warm. I came back the next day to eat the same, but unfortunately they didn't have grilled chicken at the moment (for that I had to wait another hour), but only fried chicken.
The plate with grilled chicken was 5500 pesos and the beer 1200 pesos (August 2008).

Darrelle Revis Makes Critical Next Step in His Knee Rehab
Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Darrelle Revis took a critical next step in his knee rehabilitation Monday, participating full-speed in team periods for the first time since suffering a torn ACL September 24 of last year.
Up until this point, Revis has only participated in positional drills and 7-on-7s, but on Monday he worked with the first-team defense throughout practice, including lining up against the team's number-one receiver, Vincent Jackson.
"I went up against him twice and even in team period...we did a lot of run today, run-team stuff, but, yeah, I was out there. There weren?t any problems. He was coming at me full speed like the big guy he is and I was out there just playing," said Revis after practice.
"That's the most work that I?ve done, which is great. [I?m] taking it one day at a time and just trying to get as many reps as I can. Today my knee has been feeling good and it?s good for me to get into team activities and get out there and start running with the team.?
Revis traveled to New England with the team last week to practice but did not play against the Patriots Friday night. He has yet to see any playing time this preseason, and his status to play in Saturday's third preseason game at Miami is still up in the air, although as of right now, it's looking like a 'no.'
"I just don?t feel like he has to. Now, if he wants to because he wants to do that or if he wants to play in the Washington game for that matter, I?m fine with it, but I don?t need to see him do that," said head coach Greg Schiano.
"Just coming off this major knee injury, you have to be [cautious] a little bit, and that?s what we?re trying to do," said Revis. "We don?t want any setbacks. I want to be out there all 16 games to be able to compete and win games out there for this team.?
Going full-speed Monday was a big step in getting there, even if there was no contact permitted. He hopes to continue getting as many reps during practice between now and the regular season opener against the New York Jets, which remains the goal.
?I think the biggest thing is practice. Getting those reps in, getting your legs up under you. I think that?s the biggest thing. The game is the game. You?ve got to go out there and give it your all and just play. I have a lot of experience in that area, I?ve played in a lot of games. I think practice, you need that chemistry with your teammates and you just need to get your legs up under you.?
Revis said there was no soreness or swelling at the end of practice, a good indicator of his progress towards regaining form and returning to his confident, aggressive style of play, even when the bullets are flying.
"I?m confident. It?s day-to-day, but I?m confident. It?s still weeks away and we still have time. We still have time for my knee to even get better and better, so I think that?s just how we have to approach it and look at it.?

Tim Kaine (Gov VA) sets the stage (one week out from Election night) on the News circuit as he tries to convince the Nations Voters that this race is over and Virginia is going to go Blue this election.
"We're East coast time, so Virginia may be one of those East coast States to report early. Polls close at 7(pm EST). Within an hour or hour and a half we'll know how Virginia is going." (Tim Kaine - News Sunday with Chris Wallace) "[Virginia goes Obama] I just think the path to 270 for Senator McCain is almost impossible!"
Virginia is an important State in the MSM narrative (the "Bandwagon" effect, a play on/with Voters Psychology) for Election night in that, like with the Polls, they (MSM) want to dispirit, dishearten, and suppress Voters that would be voting for McCain by putting forth the notion that the Race for the Presidency is long over 'so why would you bother to go vote?' This site (RS) is full of Diaries/reasons why you cannot allow yourself and, potentially more importantly, "soft-voters" for McCain/Palin to fall for it and give up (drag your McCain supporting friends to the Voting Booth kicking and screaming if need be).
The MSM is quick to project/call/report when a State goes for the Democrat, Blue, but waits to call States for a Republican candidate! Easy to see every election. They rushed to call FL before the Polls were even closed in the western counties of FL to try and effect that out-come in Gore/Bush - tell me who tried to steal the vote again??
The MSM will call (really, has always called) the Blue States as quickly as possible while stalling on the Red States in the hopes of instituting the "Bandwagon effect," suppress Republican turnout, etc... No more is this true than during the reporting of Mid-West States. Any "Swing State" (and as in this discussion, a State not generally considered a "Swing State" they can play up with greater value/weight) that goes Blue they promote, any Red they delay reports or report as "not enough data." You will see this again this election WITHOUT FAIL/DOUBT!!!
The law should be changed, to STOP the MSM, and/or anyone else (including campaigns), from trying to shade the votes in other States by reporting "exit-polls" and "projections" or out-right guesses. This can be easily accomplished by FORBIDDING the announcement of Election Results, including any "Polls," "Projections," or other means, that indicates the "out-come" or "perceived out-come" of any Locality, State, or National, Race or ballot-initiative, until 3 hours after scheduled voting places have Closed.
This could be tailored to just the contiguous 48 States, could even weight it to be 3 hours east of the Mississippi States and 1 hour west of the Mississippi, and the intent would be (more or less) the same. The point is to stop campaigns, the MSM, etc... from attempting to suppress or otherwise shift/influence election out-comes.
Again, we have been seeing this in high gear to shape, rather than report, the election by the way MSM presents Polls and its General coverage (of course). One thing that is shaping up to allow the MSM to "pretend" the see what had been adequate trend in the past to call a State is by ignoring the Early Voting that is occurring. They can easily allow those DISPROPORTIONATELY CAST DEMOCRAT VOTES to be counted in early, ignore them, make the call, and later recant (if needed) if incorrect and plead EXCUSES that they were just mistaken and didn't really know that the Early Voting was skewing the models/programs they use to compile samplings and make their determinations. There IS NO EXCUSE, as Early Voting is all over their newscasts, but they'll conveniently not factor it on Election night - because it doesn't suit the (most outlets) MSM agenda.
It has been shown that there CAN BE (not always a guarantee) that a "Bradley effect" occurs. Likewise, however, there can be the inverse, in that some may be planning on voting or Obama (in some aspects, in relation to being convinced by the Murtha type comments) and not willing to state such because of their demographic (IMO, much less a phenomena, but just my opinion I have no study to cite). Is this the "White Guilt effect?" or is this something different?
Beyond that, back to the relationship of the "Bandwagon effect." Part of the supposed "Bradley effect" can possibly be explained, if proper study done, to my point that some may stay home from the polls if they'd been convinced of the out-come and convince themselves to not go out and vote. Also explains how/why so many polls fail/backfire, if you think about it.
One such explanation I have heard, makes much sense (needs more study to see if the theory is truly a plausible explanation), is that Democrats have become "more likely" to be willing to speak with the Exit Poller. More particularly, a voter that is/has a vote for the Candidate that is the MSM projected leader/winner. This explains PA in the Democratic Primary and how the Pre-election and Exit polls did not jive! This too, at least in part, may explain what had previously appeared as (been deemed) "Bradley effect," but rather was/is another failure in the manner Polls are setup/conducted. Just like with any Computer program, (GIGO) garbage data in and you get garbage results out!
See very good related Susannah Diary, that is fantastically well cross-documented and in-depth on MSM coverage Why the Media coverage of the 2008 Presidential Election sucked
As for the assertions of the Left in this election (some responses to the Drive-by Mobies here at RS):
Drilling for Oil - Had there been no Drilling ban, we would not have had additional Economic slowdown that $4.00+/gal. imposed
Racism (Dem's Race baiting) and Sexism - Hey Liberals, It's about the "Content of Ones CHARACTER" and The whole "Murtha" thing and Diary by jt and see more via RS:Categories: Racism / Racist / Race Baiting / Sexism
Foreign policy - Even Joe Biden agrees that the Obaminable one is "dangerous" and How to view the Terrorism aspect of ObamaBinBiden and see more via RS:Category:Foreign Policy
Turnout and Voter Fraud (CO, NM, NV, OH, OR, PA, VA) - Military Vote Suppression in VA and Having to over-come the Legal and ILLEGAL votes cast for other side and see more via RS:Categories: Voter Fraud / Voter Suppression / Voting
It's the Economy, Stupid (remember that one?) - $4.00+/gallon Gas and see more via RS:Category:Economy
Tax Policy differences - McCain/Palin create wealth for everyone vs. ObamaBinBiden "spread the wealth" model (should read 'share the misery,' return of the "Misery index" like we had under Jimmy Carter will soon return if Obama is elected). For one, see Brian Simpson's - Rich Do Not Benefit Disproportionately and see more via RS:Category:Taxes
Supreme Court (SCOTUS) - RS:Categories: Supreme Court / SCOTUS
Governmental "Checks and Balances" - Ken Taylor's - Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, The Fearsome Threesome - Goodbye Checks And balances
Additionally - A seperate and continually growing list of Topics/Subjects
OBAMA's words matter... His "spread the wealth" comment to Joe the Plumber demonstrates he still believes what he has always believed (and will RULE in that manner). Hear it (see it recapped) IN HIS OWN WORDS:
