Competitive fight. I give lara the edge because of his experience with better competition but I think Vanes is a decent fighter and this might be his coming out party. Should be a good one.

So is Roach going to be in his corner? He needs a win after this bad year. He missed out being on Kid Chocolate's corner.

MaxOUTThis is a club for gamers who don't just play rpgs or rpg-type games, but dominate them. Gamers who like to take the time to max out their characters, collect all the hard to get items, and beat the unbeatable dungeons. These gamers are those who like to create their own god-like characters. All other gamers are welcome also. Those who like to get the most out of their gaming experience. All systems and all brand of games. I must admit I am a little biased toward PS2 rpgs because that is what I own.

My real name is Thomasina but most people just call me Tammy.
I've loved crochet since I was a child, when someone bought me the Ladybird Learn to Crochet book for Christmas. I tried to teach myself, and failed, so many times before it clicked. But, when it did, my parents couldn't have been happier!
No longer did I moan about having nothing to do.....a copy of Golden Hands and I was no trouble for days.
As I got older, I worked my way through most of the crafts in those magazines, (which I still have today), but crochet and sewing were the only ones to capture my imagination completely.
Back in the 80s, pregnant with my eldest daughter, I suddenly had a reason to crochet again - bonnets, booties, matinee jackets and no end of blankets awaited her arrival; it was something I picked up and put down many times over the years that followed.
It wasn't until the birth of baby number 5 (last year), that I started writing patterns for the things I made - I guess being teased by my family that I might get old and forget them was the prod I needed ;)
The patterns I bring you now are a mixture of both old and new designs - I hope you find something you like.
Thomasina Cummings Designs
PS: You can view my frequently asked questions, terms and conditions here: http://www.thomasinacummings.co.uk/faqs_about_patterns/
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need assistance.
This pattern contains instructions to make these soft, squishy, knit-look dungarees in a range of sizes from birth to 1 year old.
You will need: up to 200 g (288m) Aran in main colour (MC), 100g (144m) Aran in contrasting colour (CC), a 4.50mm hook, 2 buttons (decorative only) and a needle for neatening ends.
In the example, the MC is cream and the CC is chocolate brown.
Gauge: 8sts and 8 rows to 5cm (2 in) in UK dc worked in back loop only.
The pattern is written in UK terms with a table of US equivalents provided as applicable.

"Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact, and that is, everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you ... the minute that you understand that you can poke life ... that you can change it, you can mould it ... that's maybe the most important thing."
-Steve Jobs
I've been washing in cold water for years - mostly because I'm pretty bad at washing clothes and when I wash in cold water I tend to ruin less of them - but also it didn't seem like warm water got them any cleaner and it seemed like a waste of energy.
It was the first time I saw the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trailer in the theater. Whoever cut that trailer is going to win something, for sure. Extremely effective.
I really wanted to hate the Digital 4K projection at Atlantic Station, but I didn't. I thought the image was ever-so-slightly darker, but not a deal-breaker. A couple of times the image had a video-like quality to it, but it wasn't to the point of being distracting and may have been more due to the source material (it was shot on RED).
It was really cool to see scenes at the CDC set in places where I've been.
I noticed that they mispronounced epidemiologist, but would have never noticed it had my public health friends hadn't pointed it out.
Speaking of, this movie seems to be laser targeted at the national-level public health field: from power struggles with local health departments to the villain being a vaccine skeptic.
The movie itself: kind of boring. Because it had to keep a global(ish) focus it couldn't stay on one person very long, leaving us unable to fully explore any single character and even though the movie has a full 1 hour 45 minute run-time, it felt rushed. I found myself wishing that it were a book so I could explore the individual stories a bit more.
Lastly, Demetri Martin as a scientist. Heh.

The court concluded that "cause" existed under 11 U.S.C. §§ 1112(b)(1) and (b)(2) to dismiss the case due to the highly speculative nature of the state court action which was the debtor's primary asset. The court alternatively found that "cause" existed that the chapter 11 case was filed in bad faith.

Skip to comments.Why You Should Spend a $2 Bill at Starbucks on Feb. 14
Posted on 02/14/2012 8:44:06 AM PST by marktwain
Gun bloggers Sebastian and gay cynic responded to the National Gun Victims Action Council recent announcement of a Valentines Day Starbucks boycott by organizing a BUYcott. Gregs asking gun owners to reward Starbucks for its firearms policy by buying a beverage or food item with a two dollar bill (representing the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms) on February 14th. Not forgetting to thank the clerk for Starbucks support of the Constitution. Ahead of Starbucks Appreciation Daywhich has now gone viralour own Tim Tritt contacted the Seattle coffeesmith to voice his support for their support for gun rights. The company emailed him the following . . .
Dear Tim,
Thank you for contacting Starbucks Coffee Company.
Thank you for your feedback regarding Starbucks policy on open carry laws.
At Starbucks, we deeply respect the views of our customers and recognize that there is significant and genuine passion surrounding the issue of open carry weapons laws. We comply with local laws and statutes in the communities we serve. Our long-standing approach to this issue remains unchanged and we abide by the laws that permit open carry in 43 U.S. states. Where these laws dont exist, openly carrying weapons in our stores is prohibited.
As the public debate around this issue continues, we encourage customers and advocacy groups from both sides to share their input with their public officials. We are extremely sensitive to the issue of gun violence in our society and believe that supporting local laws is the right way for us to ensure a safe environment for both partners and customers.
If you have any further questions or concerns that I was unable to address, please feel free to let me know.
Warm Regards,
Kelsey F
Customer Relations Starbucks Coffee Company 800 STARBUC (782-7282) Monday through Friday, 5AM to 8PM (PST)
Where the heck do you get $2 bills? I've been asking around and the best answer I can get is "special order 100 ($200)".
NO thanks, this company is as homophilic as a nambla parade. I will not rub elbows with the supporters of sexual deviance or its marketers.
I wouldn't support any group or business until I know they're going to stick to their "guns" and not buckle under to leftist pressure like the Susan Komen organization did.
They were in the news recently for openly backing fag marriage in WA state, and I agree..no homo/lefty politics.
Then again..2 yrs ago, my ex-GF made a complaint about an employee at a local Starbucks. Contacted Starbucks and they later asked for her name and address (she gave my address). Days later, I receive an apology letter addressed in her name from Starbucks including 10 coupons for free coffee at any Starbucks, and I passed on the coupons to her.
It is a lot easier for them not to cave if they are shown some support. If they see a bump up of $2 bills on valentines day, and not other times, it sends a powerful message.
Sorry, Starbucks has endorsed the homoradical agenda and I hope they all burn down.
Ergo, no soup for them.
I'm not playing.
Because Starbucks coffee is not something I like. I get far better coffee from a locally owned 'mom & pop' store - they roast their own, right there in the store... always fresh. And the 'mom & pop' are staunch conservative, christian folks too. I'd much rather "buy local" than support a behemoth like Starbucks any day.
Unfortunately, there are many reasons not to support Starbucks.
1. Their coffee is second-rate.
2. Their prices are high.
3. Most of their customers are Libs.
4. They support liberal causes, including gay activism.
5. There aren't any Starbucks around here, anyway.
FWIW, the best coffee I've found, other than making it yourself at home, is at . . . Dunkin' Donuts.
Any company run by perverts who promote and celebrate homosexuality as a core value of theirs is not a place where I would spend any money of mine at all. If you want to have to wonder about what ingredients they may think are also in line with their core values then go ahead but I would not trust any pervert business such as Starbucks.
You are selling out the future of our children and their freedom with your two dollar bill to a bunch of perverts.
Who cares?
Their coffee is good and their banana bread is awesome. As long as I don't get accosted by an employee to support homo-"marriage" I'm not getting all wee-weed up about it. It's probably just a marketing thing anyway, like "going green"
Support Starbucks and you are supporting the homosexual agenda. I don't need to thank them for following the law.
Beside that, I hear their coffee is nasty.
I wouldn't give Starbucks one cent for their crappy coffee!!!!
I will believe starbuck represents American values and Americanism when:
"North State Shooting Competition: sponsored by Starbucks."
"How to pass the Federal Marriage Amendment Conference: sponsored by Starbucks."
"Latte and ammo combo pack."
Starbucks has the right company policy with regard to open carry laws - it respects the local law.
That's neither a pro or anti gun position.
So, on the one hand, I would prefer they follow that same agnostic position on other social issues and just kept to doing their core business well.
On the other hand, some on this thread not only want a Starbucks that is less of a social activist on some of the issues it is a social activist now, and want a Starbucks that instead becomes a social activist on their preferred issues.
Myself, I prefer companies that do not try to win anyone over on any social issue but instead stick to their core business, period, and by staying out of everyone's activist issues tries to do well for all its potential customers.
Indeed. I am constantly amazed at companies that alienate half their base when they should just shut up and sell their products.
Is it even possible to support both sexual deviance and 2nd amendment?
You should ask someone that likes their coffee.
I just don't see how a coffee companies' position on something, can have anything to do with it's product...??
where do i find $3 bills ???
You should have kept the coupons if she was your ex-GF.
Is it even possible to support both sexual deviance and 2nd amendment?""
As a poster above said, we don't need to thank them for supporting the law. Pandering to perverts is a different issue.
Told the confused Manhattan Barista that my sandwich and coffee were to thank Starbucks for its 2d Amendment support.
Cost eleven bucks in Manhattan for a sandwich and small (aka "Tall") Starbucks coffee, for those outside the area. Two bucks wouldn't buy you a thing in a Manhattan Starbucks, trust me.
For you anti-Gay marriage purists who've been posting, well, you've got to pick your fights. In my view, the 2d Amendment is the most important right because it prevents an abrogation of the other rights we may have. It would be unthinkable for Starbucks to have taken this position ten short years ago, so I think it is well worth it to let them know that rational folks favor gun rights and the companies that support those rights.
So go to Starbucks today.
The Bahamas has a very attractive $3 bill.
"I just dont see how a coffee companies position on something, can have anything to do with its product...??"
I agree. Unfortunately, many of the top execs at Starbucks are themselves somewhat social activists and some would like their employees and their customers to see themelves as a "community", and the customer's engagement with Starbucks as more than a mere purchase, but an experience.
My experience with Starbucks in my area lends me to believe that 90%+ of the staff and most of the customers do not see themselves as the "community" the Starbucks execs want to promote.
The staff, for the most part, does try to treat the customer well, but people either go for the coffee, or go somewhere else and the staff really just want to do a good job on their shift, and that alone fulfills their committment to the Starbucks "experience".
If for some reason you don't like coffee or don't have a Starbuck's at your disposal, you can always just sned your money to the Democratic party or local liberal candidate.
these are the 2008 figures:
And the CEO of Starbucks has called for a boycott on political contributions until Congress gets serious about the defecit, including tax hikes.
I don't really care about management. I just like the coffee and in most, the staff. Some of them are very busy with people using their free wi-fi, and I can put their app card on my phone so I don't have to have my wallet with me. All in all, they're ok by me.
The point is the Brady Bunch called for a boycott of Starbucks on Feb 14, to encourage SB to adopt a "commonsense policy on guns"
If that boycott has effect SB will have less reason to allow RBKA and may decide to follow the law by posting no guns signs instead.

Passed with minimal controversy and public debate, the 2016 spending bill included some of the most substantial immigration policy changes enacted by Congress in the last decade. The changes touched on aspects including temporary worker visas, visa security, and the immigration courts, and could signal a new strategy for legislative change to the immigration system.
The absence of timely, reliable indicators of immigration control represents a fundamental challenge to resolving the public and political debate over the degree of effectiveness of enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border. This report examines ways to provide a comprehensive accounting of illegal immigration, both flows and stock, and calls on the federal government to do more to measure and report on border enforcement effectiveness.
This report analyzes how many unauthorized immigrants fall within Department of Homeland Security priority enforcement categories unveiled in November 2014 and how implementation of these priorities could affect the number of deportations from within the United States. The report also examines the replacement of the controversial Secure Communities with a new Priority Enforcement Program, and what PEP could mean for immigration enforcement.
A discussion of some of the less examined aspects of President Obama's executive actions on immigration, with respect to immigration enforcement, legal immigration, and immigrant integration.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske, who assumed his duties in 2014, lays out his vision and discusses his priorities for the agency as part of MPI's Leadership Visions series. During his remarks, Commissioner Kerlikowske discussed the surge in child migrants, border security, internal investigations, the possible threat posed by ISIL fighters returning to the West, and more.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske outlined his vision and discussed his priorities for the agency as part of MPI's Leadership Visions series.
Showcasing MPI's volume, Managing Borders in an Increasingly Borderless World, this panel discussion offers perspectives on border policy management from leading officials in the United States, Canadian, and Mexican governments
This edited volume showcases approaches toward border management in Europe, Central America, and North America, and reflects on the challenges that countries in these regions face in managing their borders. The book brings together perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic on what border security means in practice, the challenges that continue to evade policymakers, and what policies have been the most (and least) successful in achieving "secure" borders.

This fact sheet offers a detailed review of the comprehensive immigration reform legislation approved by the U.S. Senate in June 2013 and compares its major provisions with those of the five targeted immigration bills approved by the House Judiciary Committee and the House Homeland Security Committee.
MPI has completed an analysis of the major provisions in the 2013 framework, comparing them to provisions of the legislation the Senate considered in 2006 and 2007.
This fact sheet is formatted as a chart comparing the framework of comprehensive immigration reform outlined in the 2013 Senate immigration bill against provisions included in bills considered by the Senate in 2006 and 2007.
This fact sheet compares key components of immigration reform outlined in the 2013 Senate immigration bill against provisions included in bills considered by the Senate in 2006 and 2007: border security, detention, and enforcement; worksite enforcement; visa reforms; earned legalization of unauthorized immigrants; strengthening the U.S. economy and workforce; and integration of new Americans.

Looking at the front office
Looking at the front office roster, it's like an aircraft carrier. It takes awhile to get up to full speed and takes even longer to turn around. Ownership changes that lead to personnel changes will start with changes at the top and then filter down. So it's possible there will be changes at these levels but I'm not expecting much change in 2008.
The 4 changes were promotions to people who were already department heads, just giving them new and improved titles (and hopefully putting them in higher tax brackets).
I'd guess these "promotions"
I'd guess these "promotions" are just morale boosters and resume padding in case the new owners fire them all.

Yes, as far as I know EL is still on the Cubs payroll. Why? Mostly to make sure AZ Phil is really in attendance at the Arizona Instructional League and AFL games. Remember Phil's reporting attendance (usually 8 or 9), well often EL was one of those he was including.
Also I believe EL was responsible for the advance scouting reports the Cubs used on the Dbacks for the NLDS. Ouch. Correct me if I'm wrong Az Phil.
Anyone remember Captain Wrongway Peachfuzz from Rocky and Bullwinkle? That's Eddie.
Ed's the super scout that when invited to dinner, he winds up staying on as a permanent house guest.

Apparently once you're "made" in the Cubs organization, they can't get rid of you no matter how incompetent you are. I wonder if he's Fitzsimmons cousin or something that f*** up all the time but everyone has to tolerate him or they get the woodchipper.

They do need to get some guys on the DL onto the 40-man I believe if they want to protect them like Prior, Pagan and Guzman.
So maybe they've made a quick decision on Monroe. It also seems that with Prior still traveling with the team on occassions that there's a good chance the relationship is still good and he'll be sticking with us. Just a guess though....

Here's a gem from McCarver last night-
"We had our friends at Stats, Inc. check and see whether more multi-run innings came with a lead off homer or a lead off walk. You would think that a lead off walk would lead to more big innings than a lead off home run. Not true. A lead off home run, this year, has lead to more multi-run innings than lead off walks. It's against conventional thinking."
See Chad has been right all this time.

Well, Carrie maintains the Cubs 40-man roster at cubs.com, she thinks Floyd has a player option and started 108 games.
So take that with a grain of salt…
They do need to get some guys on the DL onto the 40-man I believe if they want to protect them like Prior, Pagan and Guzman.
So maybe they've made a quick decision on Monroe. It also seems that with Prior still traveling with the team on occassions that there's a good chance the relationship is still good and he'll be sticking with us. Just a guess though….
ROB G: MLB clubs have until 11/20 to reinstate players from the 15-day and 60-day DL. The exception is a player who is eligible to be a FA under Article XX of the CBA (that is, players with at least six years of MLB service time who are unsigned for the following season). Those players must be reactivated from the DL no later than the start of the FA filing period that commences the day after the conclusion of the World Series.
Otherwise, players on the 15-day DL (like Angel Pagan) can be reactivated at any time up until 11/20, because they are already on the 40-man roster.
As for the two players who remain on the 60-day DL (Angel Guzman and Mark Prior), the Cubs do not have to reactivate either of them from the 60 until 11/20, so the Cubs can wait until the conclusion of the MLB FA filing period (15 days after the conclusion of the WS, probably no later than 11/15), because by that time Floyd, Kendall, Trachsel, and Wood (and possibly Eyre and/or Ward if either were to opt to decline their player option to remain with the Cubs in 2008) will have filed for FA, and when a player files for FA, he is automatically removed from his club's 40-man roster.
So if Craig Monroe was removed from the 40-man roster (and there is no transaction report to indicate that he has been removed), it wouldn't be to clear a spot on the 40 for Guzman or Prior. That will take care of itself next month once players eligible to be a FA under Article XX of the CBA file for free-agency and are removed from the Cubs 40-man roster.
However, it is possible that the Cubs have designated Craig Monroe for assignment (DFA) with the intention of trying to trade him. Just as they reactivated Roberto Novoa from the 60-day DL and placed him on Outright Waivers the second week of October instead of waiting until 11/20, they could DFA Monroe now instead of waiting to non-tender him on 12/12.
The other possible reason the Cubs would DFA somebody on their 40-man roster (like Monroe) now would be to clear a spot on the 40 for a minor league FA, like maybe Josh Kroeger. The Cubs retain exclusive negotiating rights with their own minor league free-agents until October 22nd, but if the Cubs wanted to add Kroeger to their 40-man roster, they almost certainly would have done so prior to the player becoming a FA last Monday (October15th), and again, there is no transaction report to indicate they did that.

Couldn't someone just look
Couldn't someone just look at the average # of runs scored in an inning after a homerun and compare it to the average # of runs scored after a walk, 1B, 2B, 3B, HBP?
This "rally killer hypothesis" should be relatively easy to test given the right dataset.
Actually, the writers and
Actually, the writers and readers of Fire Joe Morgan (www.firejoemorgan.com), in reacting to McCarver's quote. By the data they've posted, it looks like a leadoff HR leads to a multi-run inning more often than a leadoff BB by slim margins each year, except in 2005, when leadoff BBs edged HRs out very slightly.

Stupid coffee! Make me more alert!
Statistically the lead-off
Statistically the lead-off home-run vs. walk results are not surprising. It's really the probaility of scoring 2 runs after getting a lead-off walk, or scoring only 1 run starting fresh (after a lead-off HR). Heck there is nothing to say that you can't get a walk after the homerun, essentially making the innings starting the same except in the latter scenario you only need ONE run to get counted as a multi-run inning.
The amazing part about
The amazing part about lead-off HRs in an inning: It seems that almost 100% of the time that the Cubs do it, Santo can be overheard praying to the ghost of Leo Durocher for back-to-back jacks. This corresponds with Pat Hughes' numbers: Having to carry the radio broadcast upwards of 94% of the time. Can't ignore stats like that.
In all seriousness, with this team, give me the home run any day - we'll just waste the stupid walk.
Torii Hunter might want to be a National, re: Dmitri Young and playing for black people, as if black people in D.C. not named Obama will be able to afford games at the new Nats' park.
There are plenty of black
There are plenty of black people in DC with dough. By sheer numbers probably more than most cities despite DC's small size. It's just that nearly all the poor people are black. And I'm sure if, as he says, he'd like to go to DC or Atlanta to interest African Americans in baseball again, he'll no doubt include some tickets for the less advantaged in his contract.
If I were him I'd go to DC. Unless it rains a hell of a lot this winter, Atlanta will be running out of fresh water by baseball season. Should be the first water crisis of what will be an ongoing problem for... well, forever.
Didn't mean to imply that
Didn't mean to imply that all black people are poor. Sorry if it came out that way. Just saying, that's a damn poor city outside of a couple of exclusive neighborhoods. Lots of the money is in Virginia and Maryland, which are much less diverse.
Almost every MLB city has a lot of black people though, Torii.
With a new stadium coming
With a new stadium coming on-line in 2008 and the likely spike in ticket sales that go with that, the Washington Nationals might be more-inclined to sign a FA like Torii Hunter than they would have been in years past, The Nats were last in the N. L. in runs scored in 2007 and a power-hitting CF would help to address the need for more offense, so Hunter would seem to be a good fit there.

Once again: A: leadoff
Once again:
A: leadoff homer cannot kill a rally because the rally hasn't started yet.
B: during a rally there are players on base which forces the pitcher to pitch from the stretch as well as worry about stolen bases and giving up multiple run homers. As well, worrying about walks as they become exponentially worse the more runners that are already on. this effects how a pitcher throws and what he throws. once the home run is hit, clearing the bases, the pitcher can either go back to pitching from the windup as well as not worrying as much about a walk or can go take a shower as often times the home run is the final nail in that pitcher's coffin for the day. Then a rested reliever can come in and PROBABLY be more effective.
what does a leadoff homer
what does a leadoff homer have to do with a guy who walks anyway?
aside from the possible mental sting of giving up a homer to lead off the inning the immediate game and how the pitcher should approach everything resets.
you could probably do a study looking at leadoff walks vs. leadoff singles and find a link that one is better than the other based on nothing but outcomes...doesnt mean anyone should champion it as a walk being better than a hit or vise-versa.
leadoff HR's lead to more
leadoff HR's lead to more multi-run innings than a leadoff walk...

Jon Leicester
Rocky Cherry
Paul Bako
Scott Moore
Freddie Bynum
Corey Patterson
on their ACTIVE roster. The manager Dave Trembley was a longtime manager in the Cubs minor league system. And newly hired pitching coach Rick Kranitz was the Cubs bullpen coach before moving to Florida a couple years ago.
Kranitz is interesting in that he was thought to be the lowest paid pitching coach in the major leagues even though he was PC of the year in 2006. "Kranny" was recently called up personally by Dusty Baker and offered a job with the Reds but turned it down to go with MacPhail's Orioles. (what happened to your mojo Dusty?)
Joe Borowski credits Kranitz with rescuing his career because he remembered how Joe was throwing when he was effective with the Cubs and corrected his mechanics in three days.
So now I hear (and I hope this isn't 3/44) that MacPhail isn't done siphoning off "talent" from the Cubs. Now he's after recently promoted player personnel honcho ONERI FLEITA and super scout BILL HANFORD to fill out his front office.
When will the madness stop?!

While it had certainly been up in the air, I'd heard plenty of reports before hand that Torre wasn't going to accept a one year deal, where he'd be in the exact same waiting game situation a year from now.

will he even bother to get another job or just go home and wait for the HOF? he wasnt a bad catcher/player in addition to his managerial success stats.
I like Joe but he made 20
I like Joe but he made 20 million in three years with the highest payroll in baseball. He was offered 5 million in a one year contract. If he turned the offer down because of a paycut I have news for Joe-- he is not going to get that type of money from anyone else.
not the point though, you
not the point though, you may leave a job to take a pay cut because you didn't like the environment but you certainly don't take a pay cut to put up with the same old sh** over and over. No one in their right mind would no matter the job.

You know if Torre signed a one year deal, he would be right back in the same spot next year, spending the week after the season ends dangling in the wind waiting to hear if George will allow him to come back.
The pay cut on top of that was only designed to be an insult.

But, with a homer, all runners on base, and the one at the plate are absolutely guarnteed to score. I agree with you that it is better to have a pitcher pitch from the stretch. But I highly doubt statistically that you are likely to score more runs without that "rally-killing" homer. Even if the chance of getting on base increases from 30 to 40% when a pitcher pitches out of the stretch, the guarnteed runs are still a better bet.
Anyway, McCarver's quote was absolutely mind boggling stupid....looks like everyone agrees on that.
I think playoff incentives
I think playoff incentives for a manager are pretty ridiculous. There is so much in a season that is beyond a mangers control, including who the owners and GM put on the field, who gets injured and when, and who goes through a slump at the wrong time.
I think Torre's decision was a no-brainer, and I think the Yankees knew it too. The Yanks were trying to cover their own ass by offering him something that sounded good and kept him the highest paid manager, but they knew he would not accept a pay cut and a 1 year deal with BS playoff incentives.
sure block, any team will
sure block, any team will take the runs and let the rest of the inning play out. But what i'm saying is that once the bases are cleared, the momentum changes as does the dynamic of the inning. Part of what keeps a rally going is the pressure being put on the pitcher by the offense. The homer changes everything.

Hate to give the Mets credit, but they did everything right tonight in what had to be a very tough game for them to play. As Hollandsworth said on the Cubs post-game -- if you watched the game, you saw Mets players consoling Marlins players who were in tears during the game. Between that and the way Molina handled the Ross farewell -- maybe the Mets and Cardinal players aren't pure evil. Just the fans.

Amazing effort by Gordon -- truly remarkable.
Cubs get 100, KB gets 100, Hendricks gets below 2.00, Cards get absolutely destroyed by the Reds -- all good, other than some Rondon concern. Hopefully, he can get a few outings in this week and find his groove. Also, I guess Soler is still struggling with his right side. Hmmmm. Too bad Joe didn't let Addy bat with the bases loaded in the 7th -- great RBI opportunity.
I assume all the relievers are on a set schedule this week, but it seems strange Chapman pitched back-to-back.

"I like watching him pitch," Maddux said of Hendricks. "I like guys that rely on movement and location. I can relate to him. That's what I had to do. "I'd rather watch him pitch than some lefty throwing 95 mph."

The blockbuster trade between the Toronto Blue Jays and Miami Marlins may still be pending, but it may set the tone for other trades that could go down this winter. Many MLB teams are looking to make a big-time acquisition, be it through trade or free agency, and this controversial deal could easily be the spark that starts everything.
Naturally, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton is still on the block. After an off 2012, his name has popped up in various rumors. However, despite the fact that he is a five-tool player, Arizona's asking price may prove to be too high.
Thus, the question presents itself: Just how true are the rumors surrounding Upton?
Of course, the talented outfielder isn't the only name being thrown around. Separating rumors from fact is important as the hot stove starts to reach its boiling point.

Historical Traveler Reviews Embassy Suites Deerfield Beach Resort
Great place with a sour end.
We stayed at the Embassy Suites the first week in January 2004. We had a delightful room. ocean view is better than I thought. the breakfasts each day were wonderful and very filling. We loved them. the pool and the beach were beautiful and the staff were wonderfully helpful. It was a little irritating with all the extra add-ons, including parking and asking a friend to sit next to us at the beach. but we had been forewarned and were ready. the only downside was the last morning. Our plane left very early. We gathered our luggage and called for the one elevator that went to the parking garage. It would not come. It appeared as if there were some maintenance going on on the top floor and they had held that elevator. After spending about 10 inutes trying to figure out what was going on, the desk finally sent someone to tell us that we couldn't get there from here. We had to carry our luggage across the entire length of the hotel and then back again. No one offered to help. it was a bad way to end a very nice stay.
Great Hotel
Went in Jan 2004. This is a great place. The staff is very accomodating and very attentive. The beach is litterally 100 feet away. The pool area is very nice. The hotel provides beach toys. boogie boards, towels and tubes for use at the pool and beach. Breakfast is great. We brought our young children there and it is perfect.
Only downside is that that it is somewhat expensive. Considering parking and tax, its about 280 night. (Its cheaper than getting 2 rooms elsewhere though, if, like us, thats what youd need).
Embassy Suites Deerfield nice, but...
The hotel was very nice & clean . The staff was friendly. Free breakfast was awesome, anything you want or need. Free complimentary drinks from 5:30-7:30pm were excellent too. Not skimpy or bottom shelf.
Beach was nice, though a little dirty. Well , it was actually pretty dirty. Cans, plastic bottles, cigarette butts, wood, bottle caps, old fishing nets and unfortunately some broken glass bottles. I think they could have sent some one down there to pick up each day. They did have a beach combing machine, but it only cut a swath. The only thing I did not like about the hotel (Embassy Suites - Deerfield Beach Florida)was the balcony. Though it did have one, it was way to small too sit on.
Standing room only, no chairs. I think that should be mentioned somewhere. Only ocean facing suites had balconies w/ chairs. Also the 14.00 parking fee was a rip off. You have to have a car there to get around though. And there is no off street parking to speak of. They really should just include it in the room price and not pretend like you have another choice.
Great for family vacation
I just love Embassy Suites for the kids which are now teenagers. The 2nd bathroom was great for teenage girls to have as their own.As a Hilton Honors member we did not have to pay the $14 parking fee. They also upgraded us from cheapest suite to a partial oceanview. A lot more view than one usually gets when touted as "partial oceanview".I have seen bigger breakfast buffetts & managers' receptions but at $112.49/nt. through Embassy website no complaints.Ocean is across a small street but no complaints since it is not a traveled street. Pretty much just hotel use with a few others who turned down side street & it goes no where but around hotel & back out to another side street that takes you back to the main street.Beach was nice & big, nice heated pool, suites were very spacious & clean w/ 2 bathrooms, managers reception was fine w/ Yeungling Lager(one of my favs) on tap, breakfast had plenty plus cooked to order options. We plan on going back again. Especially when in Ft. Lauderdale area, worth the short drive north to get so much for so much cheaper. Also, really didn't hear much noise in the room which is really noice for light sleepers. Well,@ 9-10AM the property next door had lawn maintenance being done but until that it was quiet.Embassy in Ft. Lauderdale is @ 1.5 miles to beach & Doubletree Guest Suites in Ft. Lauderdale is several blocks(nice hotel too) but w/o drinks or breakfast for @ same price.
Believe me - I go down to Florida at least twice a year for the past seven years. I used to always go to the Embassy Suites, but it has gotten too expensive for me now. It is a very, very nice hotel. What I liked the most was that each suite had two bathrooms! (one with a tub the other with a shower) This is something you won't find most places.
The pool area is really nice, and the breakfast they serve each morning is VERY good and can be enjoyed on their outdoor patio by a little waterfall. The only drawback is that you have to cross a tiny street to access the ocean, but who cares. Being at the Embassy Suites makes you feel good because every other hotel and building around looks far inferior.
Parking should be included
Our stay at the hotel was satisfactory. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean (small fridge). The rates included breakfast, free happy hour drinks, beach umbrella/chairs, surf boards, floats, and kayaks for the family which turned out to be a great deal. We were disappointed to discover that parking was not included with our stay and cost an additional $14US/day (a convenience you take for granted).
Also, the room entrance doors and patio doors are far from being sound proof. Every noise from the corridor and exterior was heard loud and clear. Thankfully we stayed during their low season so there was not too much traffic. I would recommend this hotel but would suggest a room facing the ocean rather than the street side.
Loved the beach
The embassy suites of deerfield beach was truly beautiful. As you sit by the pool, the staff comes around with chilled oranges and cold towels for your head. The hotel is right on the beach, and all your beach chairs are included. The reastraunt was not that good, only for their hamburgers. But your only minutes from very good reastraunts and the innercoastal. I give this hotel 2 thumbs up.
Great Location
We have stayed at this Embassy Suites location on two occasions. It's a great hotel if you want to be near the beach and close to Fort Lauderdale and the Boca Raton area. In May, 2003 we had two suites -- one with an oceanview and one with a city view. It's worth upgrading to the oceanview as the other faces the street. The hotel does not sit directly on the ocean, as there is a small street between the hotel and the beach. I would suggest you have your meals at other restaurants, as theirs was not up to our standards. The cocktail hour was fine, but to get a "decent" drink you need to order beer or wine. The complimentary breakfast is done well and their made-to-order omlets are very good.
Grab a piece of fruit on your way out to keep in your room to snack on!
I recommend this hotel because of its location and will stay there again.
We stayed here in March 2003. My concern was that they did not have our room ready when we arrived. We had to wait 3 hours. We ended up in the restaurant, took a long walk around the property and stayed in the lobby for a while. It was very inconvenient. Otherwise, they serve a decent breakfast buffet, are very family oriented, had a free cocktail hour, clean pool, and are located right near the beach. I wouldn't come here for the food though. Nice for a beach stay.
Phone for take out
We enjoyed the stay at Embassy and the only thing I could really see that needed some attention to was the service in the restaurant. They had one person waiting on the pool side service and also the restaurant part too. Although they tried to be as fast as they could, it was way too much territory for them to cover. I say they need to hire more help, especially during the spring break time when they have a larger crowd to tend too. Enjoyed the complimentary cocktail time in the evenings, but the bartender could have filled the small cups up to the top. A little more liquor in them wouldn't have hurt either, but hey, it was free only if you didn't feel like you had to tip since she left her tips on the counter for all to see that she wanted some tips for those small drinks. But overall, I would recommend the stay at the Embassy and just suggest you order food brought in then at the restaurant, it will get there faster! Oh, what is up with the $3.50 small milkshakes? Do they contain liquor at those prices?
