Western Illinois-UMKC post-game blog: There's a buzz around Western Hall
Posted in January 3rd, 2009
John Bohnenkamp
MACOMB, Ill. — The listed attendance at Western Hall Friday night for Western Illinois' 71-68 win over UMKC was 1,100. It was a loud 1,100. The Leathernecks have played 14 games this season, but only four have been at home. Still, there's a buzz around the Leathernecks, who are alone at the top of the Summit League standings. "We had a home-court advantage tonight," first-year head coach Jim Molinari said. "I told the players these players are out there because of them." It's been an interesting week for the Leathernecks. They held their own with Iowa last Saturday before falling by 15 points, and then they came home and downed Southern Utah to start the rest of their conference schedule. To say this team has been a surprise is an understatement, but it is a statement to the team's character and the program Molinari is building. "Every day is a hard day for us (in practice)," said senior guard Josh Rivers, who, along with senior forward David DuBois, scored 21 points. "And that makes it easier for us in games." This Western Illinois team bubbles with chemistry. Those are on the bench are constantly talking to the players on the court, and when there's trouble, DuBois and Rivers step up with veteran leadership. That's something that's been missing in the last couple of seasons. There's a different feel around this team, and the community around the Leathernecks is picking up on it. Last month, when Western Illinois played host to Southeast Missouri State, there was a large contingent sitting in the Purple Haze student section, something the players picked up on right away. "They said, 'Coach, we've never had our students here like this,'" Molinari said. The Western Illinois students are out on break, but a few showed up to heckle the Kangaroos. Molinari is the first to credit the players. He pointed out little-used guard Arsenio Mims, who hit a big jump shot late in the game as the Leathernecks pulled away. Mims caught the attention of ESPNU analyst Mike Kelley during the shootaround before the game at Iowa. "(Kelley) said, 'I've never seen a player talk that much in practice,'" Molinari said. Molinari likes what he sees. He says he's amazed at the consistency of DuBois, who has scored in double figures in every game this season. He likes how shooting guard David Nurse has become a solid defender. He knows, though, for this team survive the crucible of the conference race, it has to be more than a couple of players contributing. "We've got to get more help," Molinari said. Molinari acknowledged last week before the Iowa game that his young team was "fragile," and was struggling to deal with a couple of losses. Now, a close call against the Hawkeyes, and two solid wins over Summit League opponents, and this team is brimming with confidence. "There's a great work ethic," Rivers said. "That's something we didn't have last season." And that's created a buzz around the Leathernecks, something the program desperately needed.

text: From Wikipedia: North Central State Airport is a general aviation airport located in Lincoln and Smithfield, Rhode Island. It has the IATA Airport Code SFZ. North Central is located in the upper region of the state and is roughly horizontally centered in the state; hence the name "North Central." North Central State Airport generally caters to private pilots and general aviation, and the aircraft that are seen there are usually either of the single- or twin-engined propeller class. However, the airport does have facilities to fuel jet engine aircraft that require JET-A type fuel. The airport is not able to serve large airliners, and the use of North Central to these types of aircraft is purely emergency-related. North Central State Airport is one of six active airports operated by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation. The other five airports include T.F. Green Airport, Quonset State Airport, Westerly State Airport, Newport State Airport, and Block Island State Airport.

performing mlp on my screene and in my portfolio. does someone have a answer or at least make up one. in 2 months went from being a mlp darling to a dog.
hey...whats with you ? back on nov 30th, you said you sold all your position, then rate, as a strong buy ? now on jan 8 your still complaining...about something you don't own? go buy some fertilizer stock, or sulfuric acid stock, if you know what your doing ?
I like having a mixed bag so will keep NGLS for a long time but one other natural gas MLP I own that's kicking but is RNF
The problem with RNF is making sure you understand that you own a play in nitrogen fertilizer which is a heavy cyclical going the right way now. When the fertilizer cycle turns you have to be nimble enough to know when to get to the door. I prefer pure NG, NGL, and especially petroleum and products plays where there is not as much cyclicality. Good luck with it.
NGLS, as a business operation, is a gem. I have owned since 2009 and they have more than met my expectations. The G&P MLPs are subject to more volatility because of more commodity and capacity risks.
But the fact is NGLS is executing and made an acquisition just last week in order to expand liquids exporting from the Houston Ship Channel. Unfortunately, most investors using words like darling and dog tend to reflect the mass of investors that have no understanding that a business model can be incredible and under appreciated and reflected in stock price but has nothing to do with LONG TERM outlook.
I also own TRGP (NLGS's GP). Right now, NGLS is being taken to the woodshed for making the Baaken acquisition at a price that will be dilutive in the first year. NGLS stock took the hit but is gradually coming back. As NGLS expands the Baaken opportunity and is able to lower the ebitda multiple on the initial purchase price and make it a more accretive acquisition I suspect those that sold because they were not happy with an initially dilutive acquisition will come back. I also suspect they will pay higher prices than they sold NGLS for and passed on a number of quarters of distribution growth meaning those that play the darling and dog game ALWAYS end up losers.
The people who look at business models and understand long term opportunities sometimes result in some short term dilution will be the big winners. I bought more on the dip after the secondary and am up 15% on that piece. The knee-jerk, shoot first and ask questions later crowd has so damaged their own long term prospects by selling without thinking. Conference calls are the best outlet for investors to gain an understanding of what NGLS and other businesses for that matter are trying to accomplish for the long term. Management teams are not there to placate short term investors that have no interest in the long term.
i to o have owned ngls since june of 09 and have bought 2 secondaries since. also traded several hundred shares around core along the way. i also believe in the nat gas phenom coming. i also know that investors fall inlove with these mlps and think they can just hold them forever because they are lazy. i do wonder though the fact that while leaving capitol in these with such a good yeild, and not taking any other risks if a person is missing out on some hefty gains in other areas of the market. know lots if investors that just own mlps or oil llc
Sentiment: Strong Buy

A. J. Pollack reached base five times on four singles and a walk, Kelly Johnson had four hits including a double and a three-run HR, ex-Cub Xavier Nady had four hits (including a grand slam HR) and scored three runs, and David Winfree had three hits including a solo HR and a three-run HR, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 15-8 drubbing of the Cubs in what was the final Cactus League game for the Cubs (although they will be playing what's billed as an "intrasquad charity game" tomorrow morning at Dwight Patterson Field before flying to Chicago later in the day).
RHP Matt Garza got the start for the Cubs today, his final Spring Training tune-up. And he did not have a good day, allowing seven runs on 11 hits (including one double and one HR) and two walks in 3+ innings of work (92 pitches - 63 strikes). The one positive note was seven strikeouts in just 3.0 IP, and he did make some good pitches every now & then, but he was mostly pitching out of the stretch all day.
Four of the first five D'back hitters singled in the 1st, but Arizona could only plate one run thanks to a diving stop by 2B Jeff Baker behind 2nd base that kept the bases loaded ("Keep it in the infield!" as the coaches say), allowing Garza to pitch out of the jam by striking out the side, although he did throwc 24 pitches (17 strikes) in the process.
After throwing a scoreless 2nd inning (two two-out singles around an F-7, a K, and and an L-7), Garza had troubles again in the top of the 3rd, as Xavier Nady and Ryan Wheeler singled and David Winfree lined a three-run HR over the LF fence to give the Diamondbacks a 4-0 lead.
The Cubs came back in the bottom of the 3rd against AZ starter LHP Joe Saunders, putting up a five-spot and taking the lead. With one out, Reed Johnson was hit on the foot by a pitch, and moved up to third when Starlin Castro ripped a double down the LF line (it hit the 3rd base bag). Jeff Baker grounded a single to left to score Johnson, and then Aramis Ramirez roped a line-drive single to score Castro. Geovany Soto grounded a single to left to load the bases, before Carlos Pena came through with a bases-clearing three-run double into the left-center alley to give the Cubs the lead.
But the D'backs came right back in the top of the 4th, loading the bases against Garza on a Kelly Johnson double and two walks (Garza was obviously tiring once he hit 80 pitches). LHP Scott Maine (up from Minor League Camp) relieved Garza and had a REALLY bad inning, giving up a towering grand slam HR to Nady, another long ball (solo shot) to David Winfree, and finally, after Aramis Ramirez made a lazy throw to 1st base resulting in an E-5 that prolonged the inning, a three-run HR over the right-centerfield fence to Kelly Johnson (batting for the second time in the inning). In just 1.0 IP, Maine allowed five runs (although technically only two were earned) and four hits (including three HR). Maine also threw 31 pitches (20 strikes) to get through the one inning, an inning he will likely try very hard to forget.
Now down 12-5, the Cubs back again in the bottom of the 4th against Joe Saunders, as PH Nate Samson (up from Minor League Camp) reached base on an E-5, Starlin Castro drew a one-out walk, and Jeff Baker lined an RBI single to left. Aramis Ramirez walked to load the bases, Geovany Soto hit a sacrifice fly to CF to score Castro from 3rd, and after LHRP Joe Paterson hit Carlos Pena with a pitch to re-load the bases, all the runners moved up (and PR Darwin Barney scored) when Paterson committed a bases-loaded balk (something you don't see everyday).
So the Cubs were back in the game, down just 12-8, going into the 5th.
RHP Jeff Samardzija (who had been pitching better lately) relieved Maine to start the 5th inning, and immediately got into trouble, allowing back-to-back lead off ground ball singles to Miguel Montero and Xavier Nady. Ryan Wheeler walked to load the bases, but Samardzija struck out David Winfree, who had already hit two HR in the game. However, The Shark's control just wasn't there when he needed it, and he walked Cody Ransom with the bases loaded to force-in a run, before surrendering a SF to plate a second run. Samardzija then walked the bases loaded again, before retiring Kelly Johnson on a line drive to CF.
Samardzija threw a whopping 42 pitches (only 23 strikes) in just one inning of work, and Geovany Soto caught 177 pitches through just the first five innings! (Give that man a Dr. Pepper, please).
RHP Esmailin Caridad (up from Minor League Camp threw two decent innings (6th and 7th), allowing a run on two hits and an HBP with one strikeout (28 pitches - 21 strikes, 2/3 GO/FO), and both Sean Marshall and Kerry Wood threw 1-2-3 innings (both with one strikeout and a 1/1 GO/FO).
But the Cub offense went silent after scoring in the 4th, getting shut down on just one hit (a Matt Spencer line-drive single to right-center with two outs in the bottom of the 9th) over the final five innings. Even though they scored eight runs, the Cubs did so on only seven hits, although they did draw six walks along the way.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Garza came out and spoke about pitching in AZ. Said it was like throwing in slime because it's so dry (kind of an oxymoron there). It was his first spring in AZ where breaking balls don't break a lot. Even with the Twins, Garza has always started off the year in the heavier FL air. I hope he finds the Windy City air more to his liking.
Anyway, another Spring Training is over, another Cubs manager has brought a new attitude, another lineup has been posted, and another 162 games are coming.
It's always good to have Cubs games on the day's dockett.
Plus, I love following the minor league teams. Always fun to look forward to what might be.
Go Cubs, I-Cubs, Smokies, D-Cubs, Chiefs, Hawks, AZL Cubs, and DSL Cubs.
Hey AZ Phil, thanks for all the write-ups this month. I've been reading them for over two years now. Pretty cool stuff.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
''There's a lot of positives to take out of [Arizona], and I've just got to keep going,'' Garza said. ''I'm healthy. It's my first year in Arizona. And it sucks.
''I don't give a damn. I don't care about the travel. It sucks here. It's so dry, but whatever. Now it's time to go to Chicago, where there's a little more moisture in the air.''
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Wait until he gets to Chicago and Dusty tells him it's too cold to play.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Garza wasn't kidding,...only 12% humidity today, that's low ...even for Phoenix
He still sucks so far though.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
I am not too worried about Garza, he's got a long track record of mediocrity, but I guess Arizona just scratched him off their free agents to watch list.
the Phils just lost their closer
Lidge is going to miss at least half the season
rotator cuff
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
The Cubs also have requested the 2014 All Star Game to coincide with the park's 100th anniversary.
''It would mean $150 million in revenue [for the city],'' Ricketts said. ''The commissioner [Bud Selig] is open-minded about it — if we can get some of the [ballpark] improvements done.''
More Ricketts comments in there as well.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
You had mentioned some upcoming roster cuts on the minor league level. Any news?
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Project .500 seems like a bit of a pipe dream to me right now.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
I am actually strangely optimistic, in particular about the offense. I think the chances are pretty good that 3 of the Soto/Pena/Ramirez/Fukudome/Soriano group will have solid years, which should make the offense decent, and the aceless rotation has got four who should keep the ERA below 4. If the Cubs can stay relatively healthy none of the other NL Central teams are going to run away from them.
It would be nice if we had a backup catcher who hits better than our pitchers and a 6th starter, though. If Reed and Koyie combine for 500 PA's count on the offense finishing in the bottom of the pack again.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
If Reed and Koyie combine for 500 PA's count on the offense finishing in the bottom of the pack again.
Or, if Z, Dempster, and Garza pitch less than 150 innings each, count on the bullpen's middle relief to be in the bottom of MLB.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Chalk me up in the pessimistic column. Yes, I know baseball is weird and sometimes the sum of a team is greater or less than the whole, but I would call a 500 season a success at this point.
The main reason is defense. On paper they might be a C+ defense team or whatever, but I think in reality they'll be one of the worst defensive teams in baseball. When the other team has four outs to score runs and you only have three, that puts you at a huge disadvantage.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
The Cubs were terrible '97, playoffs in '98. Terrible in 2002, playoffs in '03 (and should've gone in '04). Terrible in '06, playoffs in '07/'08. I'm guessing that none of us had any expectations of the playoffs in most of those years. It's baseball, screwed-up things happen. Kind of silly, IMHO, to throw in the towel before the season starts.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
There was alot of expectations for 2007 with all the cash spent.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Yeah, I guess that's true. I remember (for me, anyway) being skeptical how much it was going to help. But yeah, good point.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
This info combined with my expectations for this season = playoffs 2012.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Lead by Tony Larussa and Albert Pujlos.
And in 2013, we will still be waiting for our first playoff victory in 10 years.
(sorry, I'm in a crabby mood today)
2 Cubs in Dominican suspended 50 games
Chicago Cubs catcher Erick Castillo and pitcher Amalio Reyes were suspended for positive drug tests. They are both on the roster of the Cubs' team in the Dominican Summer League.
Nice program you've got down there Rickasses. Whatafuckeduporganization.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Wow - if two of the 50 kids were suspended because of drug tests, that proves that the Cubs have a bad organization.
The reason isn't exactly clear, but I assume that Navigator will enlighten us.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Yep. The former BA Top-5 org that, even after 4 3/4 star prospects are traded, still is middle of the BA pack is riddled with 'roiders and going down the toilet fast!
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
He just didn't have anything good to add to his vendetta list, so he went with that.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Yeah, it is eating away at him also that Tim Wilken ("Teflon Tim" to NAVIGATOR) is having some success with the Cubs by getting his kids up to the Bigs. That sucks ass, too. "Oh - the Horror".
Luis Castillo
already released by Phillies
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
You'd rarely catch Hendry doing that. Although, I am shocked that they punted Silva.
And, if "X-Man" rakes during the season like he did yesterday, the second guessers will have a field day with him asking why he didn't save $8MM and sign him for a year.
Cashner workload
"It's more so based on the number of pitches and how hard he's working each game vs. the number of innings,'' pitching coach Mark Riggins said. "Also, it's how a guy bounces back. Some guys can handle a heavy workload and recover in four days, and some guys don't recover, as well. He recovers very well. . . .
"But obviously we get to midseason, and we've got to see where his innings are. We're constantly watching that.''
Opening day line up
Has the line up for opening day been announced?
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
(unfortunately only one part is a joke)
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
I guess I should have just checked the Cubs' site.
"Three spots are set -- Starlin Castro at No. 2, followed by Marlon Byrd and Aramis Ramirez.
Still to be determined is who starts at second base."
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
I bet Quade starts Baker so not to pressure Barney on Opening Day.
No proof, just guessing.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Opening day is only just one game after all.
That said here is another article that seems to think that Barney will get the call.
"These are guys are not shy to talk to us about the game," rookie infielder Darwin Barney, a surprise achiever who came to the forefront in playing time at second base. "They're not too good (to share their knowledge). Here's Pena talking to Koyie Hill about hitting, and I'm not afraid to walk up to them to listen in."
Not sure those are the two hitters I would want Barney getting advice from.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
woo....ryan theriot-lite.
at least the lite version includes nice D at 2 positions...wonder how his 3rd is.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Actually, Theriot will be Darwin Barney lite.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
"Here's Pena talking to Koyie Hill about hitting, and I'm not afraid to walk up to them to listen in."
Well he's ruined now, might as well be listening to the Lohans about parenting.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Loved that. (Perhaps too much to drink tonight.)
ESPN Predicts Cubs Will Win Division
well...2 of 45 people at ESPN predict the Cubs to win the Central.
That's 2 more than I would have guessed.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Don't get too excited about that, one of the guys who picked the Cubs picked the Braves to win the NL East as well as the Wildcard, but the Phillies to win the pennant.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
and m.ramirez passes through waivers.
AAA logjam gets a little thicker at C.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Dr Frankenstien could probably turn them into one pretty good catcher.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Maybe they use him as a DH/1B and once a week Catcher? I don't know, at this point does a 25+ year old minor league player get measureably better at defensive catching skills?
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
I'm thrilled he made it through waivers. Hopefully Quade get sick of Koyie Hill and his sub mendoza hitting, and punts him overboard.
Castillo can spend a full season in Iowa, and MaxRam can reclaim his rightful role with the team.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
So I gather that everyone here thinks that Koyie Hill would sail through waivers . . .
I'm not so sure.
I guess we'll find out at some point.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
I love the "He can't hit, so therefor every other aspect of his game must be wonderful" logic.
I assume you have a job, and work with some other people. Ever worked somewhere where there was one worthless shit, who couldn't pull his own weight but the manager liked him, so he got to hang on past the time when it became sort of embarrassing? That's Koyie Hill.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
up until last year he could at least hold runners and play good D. unless something's changed this spring he seems to have lost the holding runners part of his game.
either way, he got $800K for some f'n reason i can't even imagine. sure they're "only" blowing 300-350K vs. someone else...no biggie, really...but i can't believe he even got another year, much less $800K.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
He got $800k because the Cubs recognize he's been more of the second starting catcher rather than just a backup backstop the last two years. Out of about 110 MLB catchers, Hill ranks around 35th in total plate appearances.
And therein lies the problem.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Thanx Lou
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
That's obscene. I guess every manager has their Neifi.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
"I love the 'He can't hit, so therefore every other aspect of his game must be wonderful' logic."
A lot of major-league teams have backup catchers who don't hit as well as Ramirez.
Ramirez cleared waivers. Isn't it fair to assume that those backup catchers play the position better than he does?
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Cubbie-land delusion. It was a near certainty a couple days ago that there was no way Max Ramirez would clear waivers... that teams would be tripping over themselves to get a chance to put Max Ramirez behind the plate. Lo', and behold... here he is, and headed to Iowa.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
teams don't generally employ back-up catchers unfamiliar with their teams pitching staffs, they may go with a vet that they feel can pick up things quickly and if it's a young guy, it's usually one that at least spent a spring training with the staff.
I'm surprised people were worried about it.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
via ye olde world de roto (hat tip to crunch)
Cubs sent C Max Ramirez outright to Triple-A Iowa.
Given his history on the waiver wire, it's at least a little bit surprising that he passed through successfully. The 26-year-old backstop would likely be the first catcher called up to the big leagues in the event of an injury to Geovany Soto or Koyie Hill.
Mar 30, 1:59 PM
According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, the Cubs have placed catcher Max Ramirez on waivers.
The Cubs would like to send Ramirez to Triple-A Iowa, but because he is out of options, he must be exposed to waivers. Though the 26-year-old backstop hasn't enjoyed much success in limited opportunities at the major league level, he should draw some interest.
Source: Ken Rosenthal on Twitter Mar 28, 10:29 PM
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
How many of them don't hit or throw better than Hill, who's just so-so at blocking pitches?
I wasn't worried about Ramirez either way, really. He's probably better than Hill, but that can be said about probably 80 catchers in the MLB system and another 20 that play elsewhere in the world.
Hill ranked 42 in MLB at CS% last year, 38th in fielding percentage and according to Fangraphs cost the Cubs 3 runs more than the average catcher defensively. If you sort fangraphs by WAR he comes out 44th of 44 catchers who had more than 200 PA's last year. His bat was only 42nd of 44, so yeah there's two worse hitters.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
I'm all for a Koyie Hill upgrade, just wasn't too worried that another team was going to nab him. He already passed through waivers twice during the offseason, so I don't think teams were going to take a chance now that they went through spring training and had their own catchers get familiar with their own pitching staffs.
He didn't have much of a shot with the Cubs because even if they decided to dump Koyie, they'd have a hard time justifying not giving it to Welington.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
It makes you wonder, though, why the Cubs even bothered picking him up. It obviously wasn't in case Hill showed absolutely nothing in the spring, following his worst catcher in MLB run last year.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Max Ramirez didn't actually pass through waivers twice. He was claimed on waivers twice, by two different teams, the Red Sox and Cubs. It's not like there wasn't interest.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
first time 9 Al teams passed him up, 2nd time the rest of the AL passed him up and 3 NL teams
just not gonna get a lot of interest at the end of spring training on a backup catcher
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
my bad...
so at least 20 teams the first time...
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas

Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
wow...that article was all over the place.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
I thought it was brilliant analysis. He saw two games. The Reds were smart enough to play all their regulars and that's how they won them. If they do that this season they're cinches to win the Division.
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Phil's really been hitting the absinthe hard lately. Or nitrous. Yeah, nitrous.
Also: "The thing that got me (about Szczur) was his desire and ability to grind,'' Adkins said. "Being a blue-collar kid, he is perfect for Chicago and the Cubbies, or at least I hope.''
Pretty early to be laying that stuff on so thickly, no?
Re: Final Tune-Up for Garza Sucks Gas
Not when you consider this was the draft in the wake of the Milton Bradley fiasco.
Recent comments
probably saturday depending on what they do with hammel (assuming friday for ham).
Lester is going to get one more start, right? It sure would be nice to see him get a shot at 20 wins.
Nicely done! I think in my 10-14 games I went .500 or a little over. Strangely, I went to the Cards games they mostly lost (incl Saturday) and the one SF game they lost, plus a couple Brewers games they lost, too. I should have gone to just Reds games. But still - saw mostly very good baseball on the North Side this year. Regardless of what happens come October - the Cubs are positioned for some good times in the next 3-5 years.
First Cub victory at home this year for me!
Saw all four starters this year
RIP Arnie. We could use a lot more like you -- a man who succeeded and failed on his own terms, a true original, and, finally, a remarkable example of graciousness towards others.
Cubs finish 33 over at home. I was, personally, one game over at 3-2, which was one of my better years in a while.
I do hope that's the last time we see the Cardinals this year. A lot of power, which is dangerous, particularly in a short series, and they have really shut down KB all year.
Oh, and Jon Lester? Damn!
Yes. Boating accident at 3AM. Very sad, but stupid. Young men do stupid things.
lester puts 2 on and is taken out at 96 pitches. oh well.
edwards in.
2 out in the 7th, lester at 84 pitches, ross taken out for the standing O.
it's possible contreras will catch lester for another inning+.
What a weird day. Jose Fernandez and Arnold Palmer, but then Scully and, on a much more modest level, Ross....
d.ross gets his 2nd standing O on the night (last home game of the season)...hits HR #10...curtain call. baseball.
as a fan, he only "owes" us the game on the field and not getting in the way of others on his team being ready to play (imo).
it's exponentially worse to his family and friends, but this dude most likely had 15+ years of play left and even though he just turned 24 a couple months ago he had already established himself as a top guy in the game.
Carrie Muskat [email protected]
Updated #Cubs probs vs Pirates: Mon, Hendricks vs Kuhl; Tue, Lackey vs Vogelsong; Wed, Arrieta vs Taillon; Thu, Zastryzny vs Nova
I know what you're trying to say, Charlie, that none of us feels what his loved ones must be feeling.
On the other hand, what makes a death like this tragic is precisely the loss, based on Fernandez's youth and brilliance, to the baseball world.
So, for example, we can say that Princess Diana's death meant more, in aggregate, to millions of admirers who didn't know her personally than to her loved ones.
boston pitching snags a couple of mlb team records...
"Over nine innings of play, Boston's staff struck out 11 straight Tampa Bay Rays hitters Sunday, breaking the major-league record for most consecutive strikeouts in a game.
The previous record was held by former New York Mets right-hander Tom Seaver, who struck out 10 straight hitters in 1970.
Not only that, but with a strikeout to end the ninth, sending the game into extras, Boston's staff also struck out an MLB-record 21 batters over nine innings."

THE ODDS that a trauma specialist will correctly interpret certain fatal gunshot wounds are no better than the flip of a coin, according to a recent study at a level 1 trauma center. The study, which looked at single, perforating (exiting) gunshot wounds and multiple gunshot wounds, found that trauma specialists made errors in 52% of the cases, either in differentiating the entrance and exit wound, or in determining the number of bullets that struck the victim.
Investigators at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, NC, compared the postmortem findings of a board-certified forensic pathologist with the medical records of emergency medicine physicians, trauma surgeons, and neurosurgeons. The study is the first to quantify the forensic acumen of these specialists, says Vincent DiMaio, MD, a forensic pathologist and editor of The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology.

I am a fashion/ textile designer and mother of six children.
Over time I have designed and knitted as well as sewn hundreds of items of baby and childrens clothing.
I am a designer specializing in innovative and practical children's wear that is timeless and understated.
Sewing, knitting and designing for babies and children gives me special joy and freedom to be playful, nostalgic and quirky.
I prefer natural yarns and fabrics as these don't just feel and look good, they also perform very well when used for children's garments.
My belief is that children's wear should be fun, practical and comfortable as well as easy to care for.
I am a highly creative person and there are a lot of artists, designers as well as dressmakers in my family and my great grandfather who was as a sewing machine engineer...
Nothing quite compares with making something for your little one yourself.
I encourage everyone with the urge to have a go.
It's fun and a lot easier than you think!
One of my daughters knitted a very simple blanket for her baby brother when she was 10 years old. It is by no means perfect but it has become a very special prized possession that both her and her brother will cherish for years to come.
Empower yourself and have a go!
This listing is for an instant download of a knitting pattern for a pair of Magic Spiral baby socks.
The pattern comes in three sizes:
Newborn to six months
6 to 12 months
1 to 2 years
The magic thing about these socks is the fact that they are very easy to knit as they do not require you to turn a heel.
The pattern forms a spiral and will fit on baby's foot no matter how you slip them on.
No more fiddling to get the heel to be in the right place.
Just pop them on and bingo - a perfect fit!
The other advantage is that babies feet do not really outgrow them as there is no heel, they just get a bit shorter as baby's foot grows.
I made them from quality self striping European sock yarn which is both soft and absorbent.
You can use any 4 ply sock or baby wool you like.
You need 2.5 mm metric or US 2 DPN needles.
28 st and 40 rows make 10cm or 4 inch square

Any word or further details about the 'mechanical malfunction' that caused the bus to be disabled smack within the level railway crossing? What would the cirrcumstances have been if it was a heavily loaded freight train that could not stop in-time? The bus companies are so reluctant to pass details on serious defect recall notices onto the lowly drivers operating the buses. Wabco-Meritor and Navistar/International were all aware of a serious parking brake defect on the recent IC buses. The government forced a recall over it. At times it could lock-up the rear axle unexpectantly. That happened to me in an ICbus once in a school driveway. I was about to leave with a full load of students. No prior warning, just a serious hic-up that could just have as easily occured within a railway crossing. More honesty from the boys who build these buses would be appreciated by the shmucks obliged to drive them.

Posted Aug 11 2009 6:35AM
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Minnesota Timberwolves president David Kahn said point guard Ricky Rubio's buyout situation is "still very problematic" and he remains unsure of when the fifth overall pick will come to the United States.
Rubio has two years remaining on his contract with DKV Joventut Badalona, his professional team in Spain, and has yet to be able to negotiate down a buyout number that is at least $6.6 million.
"I believe his representatives are working diligently to get a solution. I have no idea at this point whether a solution can be reached. But I believe we kind of know what the parameters are and I think that we have a chance," Kahn said Monday after announcing that Lakers assistant Kurt Rambis will be the team's next head coach. "But I wouldn't even begin to state the percentage toward that chance of this being accomplished this season versus next season or even two seasons. It's still very problematic."
The Timberwolves selected Rubio with the No. 5 pick in the June draft, right before choosing another point guard in Jonny Flynn at No. 6. But they can only contribute $500,000 toward the buyout under NBA rules, which handicaps their ability to convince an 18-year-old kid who made just $97,000 to make a huge financial commitment to chase his dream in the league.
After watching other teams in Spain submit much larger buyout offers to Joventut, Kahn said that NBA limit may need to be re-examined at some point.
"The buyout amount is a very steep amount," he said. "Unfortunately for us, the Timberwolves, we have to play this with one hand tied behind our back."
There was talk initially that Rubio did not want to play in the chilly, small market in Minnesota. But Kahn, who traveled to Spain to meet with Rubio's family and officials from Joventut, echoed comments made by owner Glen Taylor last week that that is not the case.
Kahn called the buyout element "the singular issue" that is preventing Rubio from joining the Wolves.
Rubio is training with the Spanish national team, and Kahn reiterated his stance that the rebuilding Wolves can "think of a lot worse things than we have to wait a year or two."
He also clarified his position on playing Flynn and Rubio together with the Timberwolves. When he drafted the point guards back-to-back in June, Kahn said he saw the two playing off each other much the way Detroit's smaller backcourt of Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars did with the Pistons.
Skeptics wondered how that would work with Flynn and Rubio, two players that rely more on dribble-drive penetration than outside shooting and excel when the ball is in their hands.
But Kahn said Monday that both should expect to play heavy minutes right from the start, though not necessarily at the same time during the games.
"You can very easily come up with a scenario where both Ricky Rubio and Jonny Flynn would play approximately 30-32 minutes and be on the floor together for a grand total of about 16 minutes," Kahn said. "I think that there's kind of been this sense that they can't play together and people are saying like for the whole game.
"That's never been the vision. They can't possibly play together the whole game and they're not ready to play together the whole game."
Instead, Kahn sees the two point guards as the one-two punch in a fastbreak attack under Rambis, the former member of the Showtime Lakers in the 1980s.
"With one kid 18 and one 20, it probably would be a mistake to play either of them minutes in the mid to high 30s," Kahn said. "They're probably not ready to do that, especially at that position."

FIRST, the good news: Today's budget address by Gov. Corbett is expected to include $10 million in additional money to expand early-childhood education.
Study after study shows that funding early education, like pre-kindergarten, all-day kindergarten and Head Start, is a wise investment, especially for low-income kids. A child who has attended pre-K gets an important foundation that more privileged kids get as a matter of course, and that child is more likely to graduate from high school and to be employed, and less likely to wind up in juvenile court. Children who can take advantage of early education make important gains in literacy, language, math and science.

Analysis: Amy Pascal Leads "Historic" Day For Women And The Motion Picture Academy
Today's announcement revealing the results of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences' annual Board Of Governors election was a historic one, at least as far as women and their power position in the organization is concerned. That is something that makes outgoing President Hawk Koch very happy. He particularly praised the increased numbers of female members when we spoke earlier today. "We have the first female Executive branch Governor since Mary Pickford (a founding member in 1927) in (Sony Co-Chairman) Amy Pascal. Amy is only the second female executive (branch governor) in our history and I want to tell you that we are all excited about that. That's big. We never had more than 9 women before , now we have 14. 30% of our Board is now women. It really reflects our industry, and I think members have been hearing the mantra that Dawn (CEO Hudson) and I have been talking about. Equal representation. We should be reflecting the industry," he said adding he thinks the makeup of the new Board is anything but status quo and should continue all the forward movement. Certainly with 14 women on the Board it will be harder for critics to continue calling the Academy "an old white man's club". Pascal replaces Fox Chairman Jim Gianopulos, who was termed out after nine years on the Board. One major studio head stepping in for another. Koch said he and Hudson had been talking to Pascal for a long while and she was "very excited to run" but he noted that the Academy leadership does not "recruit" industry heavyweights. It is up to them to jump into the election.
Koch, who is also termed out and can't run for re-election when a new President will be selected on July 30th (by this new Board), says it is important that there is a BOG that's completely engaged at a crucial time for the Academy. "I think this Board will continue what Dawn and I have tried to do this last year with more engagement, working on the Museum, working to diversify," he said and that includes the gender gap.
Speaking of that, among other notable developments on the new BOG was the election of first-time Governor Nancy Utley in the Public Relations Branch which also includes Lionsgate head Rob Friedman and Marketing consultant Cheryl Boone Isaacs, neither up for re-election this time. Both are expected to be put in nomination for the next Academy President. With Friedman, and now Fox Searchlight Co-President Utley, the PR branch is top heavy with top execs. How did that happen? Koch says they both started out in the PR area and never switched their branch. Obviously the PR Branch members who voted them in do not think it's a problem having studio heads repping their interests on the Board. Former President Sid Ganis, a producer, also came out of the PR Branch as it appears will happen again this year with frontrunners Friedman and Boone Isaacs duking it out to replace Koch. The Academy has had only two female Presidents in their past, Bette Davis (very briefly) in the 30's and the late Fay Kanin who will be the subject of a memorial tribute tonight produced by the Academy and the Writers Guild. By the way Koch points out that voter turnout in this Governors election was the highest in the history of the Academy, another encouraging trend he says in getting rank and file members involved in the Academy's activities.
Also of note Documentary branch member Michael Moore ran for re-election but lost to another Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney. Was Moore just too controversial for the Board? Koch says no. "I don't think so at all. He was a big plus in Board meetings and he was great. There's a lot more new members of the documentary branch… I bet Michael will be back on the Board one day," he said.
As for Koch himself he told me he may also do the same thing. "Do I hope to come back one day as a Board member? Sure. I have given a lot to the Academy and I love it," he said.
Nancy Utley is a champion of actual substantive projects and the people who make them. Clear the way for her. Awesome executive.
Great news! Hopefully they will select female Honorary Oscar recipient this time around. Only 9 female honorees in 85 years of Academy existence is a travesty and something that needs to be fixed pronto. Angela Lansbury, Doris Day, Debbie Reynolds, Agnès Varda, Jeanne Moreau, it's now or never!
Next year, they should give the awards to ALL the women you mentioned – on the actual show!
This is great. Now can we get some movies with female leads in them that aren't romcoms? Some more BLACK SWANS? I realize there aren't many scripts going around that fit the bill, and those that do, are often poorly written, but surely we can do better than 3% of films having a female protagonist. The audiences support these projects more than people do. One look at Box Office Mojo corroborates this.
*more than people [think] they do.
In my opinion., women have always been under-represented in Hollywood. Look at almost any movie, and 70-80% (or more) of the actors are men.

175th year of its founding, and I was there!
I love a parade!
Families sat by the side of the road to receive candy tossed from people walking and others riding on various vehicles, including tractors, tractor-pulled wagons, mule-drawn wagons, fire trucks, emergency vehicles, police cars, old cars, and two gigantic tubular trucks with hoses for septic removal followed by a walking skunk!
A large winking Dalmatian waved from a firetruck.
I shook hands with various local politicians, and one was being driven by a retired judge I swim with. (Small lap swimming world!)
Swing dancing by the Infamous Backsteppers! A bagpipe band, the Prairie Thistle, in kilts and knee socks! An elephant! (Not a live one, a Republican one.) Boy scouts, Cub scouts, and 4-H'ers!
What a thrill. And residents 90 and up were driven by in classic cars, so we got to wave to our neighbor Gus Ziebarth, local farmer, who is 94!
There were horses and ponies in glitter shoes. They pooped in the road!
Plus, Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln waved to us from their horse-drawn carriage.
I met a descendant of Dr. Silas Hubbard, who had donated oldtime medical instruments to the library, along with some medications made from herb, lead, and ergot in little tubes, the kind of thing that might have exacerbated President Lincoln's melancholy...so I hope he gave them a good talking to after the parade.
I will head back this afternoon to see my mom in the cemetery. She'll be alive there, playing the role of Juliana Read Hubbard, wife of Dr. Hubbard, in the Hudson 175 Cemetery Walk.
These Hubbards are indeed related to Elbert Hubbard of A Message to Garcia and the Roycroft Press.
So...so far I haven't been much of a slattern on this Slattern Day in the blog! I'll try to make up for it later, lounging in the back yard.

THE LATE Justice Juanita Kidd Stout was the first African-American woman elected to a court of record in the U.S., the first to sit on the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas and the first appointed to the state Supreme Court.
Now City Council is on track to rename the Criminal Justice Center on Filbert Street near 13th as the "Justice Juanita Kidd Stout Center for Criminal Justice," making it the first major building in Philadelphia to be named for a black woman.
Stout received her law degree from Indiana University and arrived here in the early 1950s. She worked for U.S. Court of Appeals Judge William H. Hastie and in the District Attorney's Office before winning a seat on Municipal Court in 1959.

Album Review
Michael Bolton
has been called many things over the years, but never savvy -- and that may actually apply, judging by his last few albums. He stopped having giant hits somewhere around the mid-'90s, but it took him only one album to realize that he need to change direction, bringing
Tony Rich
aboard 1997's
All That Matters
to help him adjust to shifting tides. It was a move that worked, even if it didn't sell all that much, and now, two albums (a forgotten covers album and a bizarre foray into opera) and one record label later, he does a similar thing with
Only a Woman Like You
, teaming with such adult contemporary stalwarts as
Richard Marx
Shania Twain
, and
's husband,
Mutt Lange
, for a variety of cuts but, more importantly, paying attention to the trends that get music on the radio. Listen to the opening cut, "Dance With Me," that sounds uncannily like
Marc Anthony
's follow-up single to "I Need to Know," complete with sultry Latin beats and a
who has learned the meaning of the word "restraint." While that's the only time he delves into Latin pop on the record -- nearly all of the record is devoted to ballads or mid-tempo crooners --
clearly keeps his histrionic tendencies in check, which fits for these smooth, glossy textures. It keeps it all rolling easily from start to finish. A byproduct of this is that it all tends to blend together, needing repeated plays -- either at home or on the airwaves -- for individual songs to catch hold, but it's all of a piece and
's best record since his hitmaking heyday.

Learn how to test and do a soil test and make your lawn or garden the best it can be.
What is Soil?
Soil is made up of minerals, organic matter (living and dead), air and water. Soil provides nutrients and serves as a foundation for plants. Improving your soil increases plant health and is critical to growing a lawn or garden you'll enjoy for a lifetime.
Importance of a Soil Test
For ideal plant growth, soil needs the proper pH level. pH is a measurement of how acidic or alkaline material or substance is. Soil pH signifies a plant's ability to draw nutrients from the soil. pH is measured on a scale of 1 to 14 with a measurement of 7.0 considered neutral. A number below 7 is acidic (sometimes called "sour") and above 7 is alkaline (sweet).
A soil test determines whether your soil is neutral, alkaline or acidic so you can adjust the soil to the appropriate pH level for what you want to grow. Most plants prefer nearly neutral soil with a pH between 6.2 and 7.2. Some (such as azaleas) prefer a more acidic soil. To achieve the desired pH goal, acidic soil may require the application of lime. Alkaline soils require a different type of conditioner, probably containing sulfur. A soil test also indicates which elements are missing from your soil and how much to add to remedy the problem.
Soil test kits are available at Lowe's Garden Centers. These kits will give you an immediate analysis of your soil's pH and nutrient levels. In addition, you can find testing meters that measure pH as well as moisture and light.
Your local Cooperative Extension office can test your soil sample for pH and nutrient levels (some states charge a small fee). The soil analysis usually takes a few weeks to get back to you. The analysis includes detailed results and suggested amendments specific to your region.
Home soil test kits include vials and tablets to test your soil, as well as a chart to interpret the results. With testing meters, you simply insert the meter probe into the soil and read the results. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for these home testing solutions.
To prepare a soil sample to send for analysis, you'll need a clean bucket, a garden trowel and a clean plastic (not metal) container. The steps are simple, but should be followed carefully to get an accurate reading.
Wet soil can give a false test reading. Be sure to take the sample when the soil is fairly dry. You may want to check your soil more than once to verify your results.
Soil can be tested at any time, but the best time to test your soil is in the fall or early spring. This gives you the time to make adjustments before you plant your garden, since soil corrections may take a few months to become effective.
Most native soils in the Eastern United States are naturally acidic. Alaska, Hawaii and parts of the Pacific Northwest tend towards acidic soil as well. Acidic soil is a good environment for thatch, weeds and diseases and also reduces the effectiveness of your fertilizer or herbicide.
Limestone (lime) is the soil amendment usually recommended for reducing soil acidity. Lime also is a natural source of calcium and magnesium – elements necessary for healthy plant growth. Correction of an overly-acidic soil is a long-term project that takes time to complete. Fall is the best time to apply limestone but it can be applied any time of year.
When using lawn care products or soil amendments, always follow package directions regarding proper clothing, protective equipment, application procedures and safety precautions.
Alkaline soils are most common in the central and southwestern United States, which are generally areas with less rainfall. Alkaline soil restricts plants ability to take in nutrients (such as iron).
Applying soil conditioners with sulfur or gypsum are the most common amendments. Sphagnum peat moss is an organic, naturally acidic alternative, however may be not be cost-effective to apply to large areas. Organic compost can increase soil acidity if applied regularly.
For flower or vegetable gardening, raised beds are an option. With a raised bed, you control the soil to match the needs of your crop.
