The Honesdale Borough Council spent a good part of its September 9 monthly meeting listening to the public second-guess it. Ed Kraus of Narrowsburg, NY, Earl Mohn of Beach Lake, Stan Pratt and Jerry Theobald of Honesdale, each witnessed multiple incidents occurring between June and August of this year in which serious vehicular accidents were narrowly averted. Because each incident involved a driver attempting to go the wrong way on one-way streets, all of the men were of the opinion that the one-way traffic pattern was responsible for those close calls.
Kraus identified himself as a long-time Narrowsburg resident and frequent visitor to Honesdale for business, shopping and recreation. Declaring that he had no axe to grind with regard to the traffic flow pattern, he stated that concern for public safety was his only reason for appearing before the council. After acknowledging that he was no expert on traffic engineering, he said he thought that resuming two-way traffic on Church Street could prevent the kind of near-misses that he encountered this summer.
Mohn reiterated Kraus' concerns, saying that the situations he had witnessed were similar in nature to those Kraus described, and noted that he also favored resumption of two-way traffic flow on Main and/or Church Streets.
Pratt and Theobald added their testimony to that of Kraus and Mohn, advocating increased speed enforcement and more signage on Church and Main streets. Council president F. J. Monaghan thanked the four men, and observed that the dangerous situations they had witnessed were living examples of the adage, "old habits die hard."
This testimony prompted council action on the three-year-old traffic flow debate. Church and Main streets are maintained by the state, and therefore fall under PennDOT jurisdiction. In order to change current traffic flow, a formal request must be submitted to PennDOT. Initially, Councilman Robert Jennings called for a motion requesting that the ad hoc committee, established to study the consequences of traffic flow, petition PennDOT for the change. But Councilman James Brennan pointed out that the committee had originally been charged with deciding whether the benefits of traffic flow change warranted its continuance. Jennings withdrew his motion, asking instead that the committee evaluate the findings of the Bogart Accident Analysis, as well as new traffic camera footage, and then offer its recommendation to the council.
In other news, as Monaghan announced that Rick Southerton had been nominated by the council for chief of police, Brennan read aloud a rebuttal to the September 5 Wayne Independent editorial critical of the council's selection process. The editorial questioned the thoroughness of the nine candidate interviews conducted by the council at its August 28 meeting. Each interview lasted 15 minutes only. It also questioned the order of the process, noting that civil service appointment nominees usually come from the Civil Service Commission to the council, and not the other way around.
Southerton has yet to be appointed. He must first appear before the Civil Service Commission on September 20. If the commission is satisfied that Southerton meets all eligibility requirements for the position, he will again meet with the council, this time to negotiate job parameters. Specifically, it will determine whether the position will be that of a working chief (police officer responding to calls) or one of administrative duties only. Based on the result of those negotiations, Southerton may choose to accept or decline the position.

The first approval was for the preliminary plot for 4.132 acres where Coker Warehouses will be located.
The company is planning on building warehouses customizable to the needs of oil and gas companies. Such things as the square footage, number of offices, building length and height will be options.
The future business will be located on Interstate 37 north between State High Way 72 and Highway 281.
The final plat for the property will be brought before the commissioners at their next meeting.
The other item approved by the court was an agreement between Old Marbach School Water Supply Corp., the City of George West and the county.
The approval had to do with a Texas Capital Fund grant to build a sewer line.
According to Texasopenforbusiness.com website the Texas Capital Funds grant has specific uses including, "public infrastructure (water, sewer, roads, etc.) needed to assist a business which commits to create and/or retain permanent jobs, primarily for low and moderate-income persons."
The grant is being used for a sewer line that will allow for service along Highway 59 to the intersection of I-37.
A Pilot Travel Center is planned for the intersection that will bring 39 jobs to the area.
The City of George West approved a similar agreement with Marbach last week that would allow for water services to be provided to businesses along that same route and the intersection. The city of George West also has received a TCF grant to pay for their portion of the infrastructure.
Once the sewer line is complete it will be turned over to the city of George West.
Mayor Sylvia Steele spoke to the court about how excited she was to be working together on a project that would benefit the county.
Additionally the county approved a utility easement that would allow for the City of George West to use a potion of the county storage yard located on Highway 59.
In other items the county heard a presentation from Anthony Villarreal of TxDot on the bridges of Live Oak County.
Villarreal informed the court after an assessment he found that six bridges were structurally deficient.
The assessment compares the bridge against a new bridge so just because it is not structurally deficient does not mean it is falling down or not safe to drive on. It simply means it does not rate as high as a new bridge.
There is federal monies available to pay for repairs on some of the bridges but the county is required to provide a 10 percent match either in the form of a check or inkind work.
The county is currently going through the process to obtain the money needed to fix Good Hope Bridge. The bridge is in the environmental court stage of the process where the historical value of the bridge is under discussion.
Villarreal said if the bridge is deemed historic, it cannot be destroyed. A new bridge must be built next to it or the bridge can be moved and a new one built in its place.
The county has their 10 percent match ready, They are just waiting to find out wether the bridge is historic or not.
The county indicated that they didn't want to start any other bridges at this time.
In other items the court decided to reject bids for a construction project because of price. The project is being reevaluated and a request for new bids will go out and the council will review those at their next meeting.
Additionally the court approved right of ways, correcting the names on several roads and approved an amount of $25,000 to be used to fix several of the permanent record books that have damaged recently due to use.

This consultative group helps to ensure that our offerings are always in line with the latest in sustainability and green business practices.
Anthony F. Altmann is the Co-Founder and CEO of International Renewables Group, LLC, a company focused on service and support for builders, owners and
operators of renewable energy and bio-fuel installations using various technologies. He has been in the forefront of energy industry change and evolution
since the 1980s.
Before starting IRG with former FPL Group colleagues, Mr. Altmann was Division President of FPL Group's wholesale energy operation and a top level FPL
executive. At FPL he spearheaded key initiatives for expansion of FPL into independent power in multiple markets. His groups managed all physical and
financial aspects of power, gas and oil from supply, transportation to all sales contracts covering 22,000 MW of power generation. His area of responsibility
included numerous renewable energy projects (wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, hydro) both inside and outside of Florida. He oversaw the development and
operation of one of the most active physical wholesale power operating groups in North America and provided strategic direction and support to the company on
all aspects of fuels supply, storage and transportation as well as power markets that helped FPL's rapid expansion in the independent power business.
Mr. Altmann helped launch his division and was brought in to operationally re-engineer and re-shape strategy for both regulated and un-regulated
business units. Mr. Altmann grew his division from $600 Mil to over $3Bil achieving top industry results. At FPl he created one of the most active USA
physical power and logistics business that included power transmission contracts, gas pipeline investments and supply contracts and liquid fuel terminals and
supply agreements in 14 states. His teams were instrumental in helping FPL Group grow a significant portfolio (acquisitions, new development etc) of
renewable energy projects with critical tactical and operating support.
Before joining FPL in the mid-1990s, Mr. Altmann spent time as an energy entrepreneur working closely with KeySpan Energy. Mr. Altmann and KeySpan
formed a joint venture in the early 1990s to create one of the first on-line power trading businesses, catering to independent power producers (PowerNet).
During the 1980s, Mr. Altmann rose from Vice President-Finance to President, CEO and Director of Allegheny & Western, a highly successful integrated
natural gas company that he joined upon its IPO. At A& W he oversaw the financing, acquisition and restructuring of a major gas distribution operation. He
was the principal negotiator with Columbia Gas System and the State of West Virginia PSC leading the effort to complete this complex acquisition which
included restructuring numerous high-priced gas supply and transportation contracts. He led the firm's efforts to expand its drilling operations, field
services business and international joint ventures. He was a key architect of efforts that led A&W to be recognized as a Top 15 Fastest Growing Company by
INC Magazine.
In addition to being an investor and partner in his own renewable energy company, Mr. Altmann has been an active participant (investor, partner etc) in
several private South Florida businesses where he actively performs turn-arounds or start-ups (chemicals, medical services, corrosion monitoring devices); he
currently sits on several private company boards. Due in large part to his successfully building high-performance organizations/teams in fast changing
markets, Mr. Altmann has been called on to provide investment and advisory advice to major energy companies and private equity firms, often focused on
providing tactical 'next level' planning and tactical support. Mr. Altmann sits on the Advisory Board for the 'Monterey Climate Exchange' a new California
based carbon trading marketplace.
A native of NYC, Mr. Altmann is a graduate of Boston College, where he earned a degree with honors in Economics. He holds an MBA in Finance from

The state of Ohio is in the process of changing the rules for local phone service. The proposed rules would freeze the price of basic service, but other phone services could be raised. The Ohio Consumer's Council and at least one senior citizen's group feels the new regulations would lead to higher prices. The future of local phone service in Ohio is the subject of a series or public hearings being held throughout the state right now. Click here for more on the meetings. Aired May 31, 2001.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 31 /PRNewswire/ - The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) today scheduled a series of public hearings across the state of Ohio to provide customers with an opportunity to express their views on the Staff-proposed alternative regulation plan for local telephone companies.
The public hearings are scheduled as follows:
* Dayton - Monday, June .18, 2001, 7 p.m., Dayton Municipal Building, City Commission Chambers, 101 V. Third Street;
* Athens - Tuesday, June 19, 2001, 2 p.m., City Hall Council Chambers, 3rd Floor, 6 East Washington Street;
* Columbus - Wednesday, June 20, 2001, 10 a.m., The offices of the PUCO, 11th Floor, Borden Building, 180 East Broad Street;
* Cincinnati - Thursday, June 21, 2001, 7 p.m., City Hall, Council Chambers, 801 Plum Street;
* Cleveland - Friday, June 22, 2001, 2 p.m., Lausche State Office Tower, 2nd Floor Auditorium, 615 W. Superior Avenue;
* Mansfield - Monday, June 25, 2001, 10 a.m., City Hall, Council Chambers, 30 N. Diamond Street, Third Floor; and
* Toledo - Monday, June 25, 2001, 7 p.m., Toledo Government Center, City Council Chambers, 1 Government Center, First Floor.
The Commission is in the process of receiving written comments from interested parties regarding a staff-proposed alternative regulation plan that incumbent local telephone companies could opt into instead of proposing their own company-specific plan. Under this plan, a local telephone company would get earnings-free regulation with greater pricing flexibility for optional and discretionary services, in exchange for committing to freeze existing basic local exchange telephone service rates and to provide from all central offices in its territory the capability to deliver advanced telecommunications services. Advanced telecommunications services are high-speed broadband services that enable users to originate and receive high-quality data, graphics, and video using any technology.
After reviewing all the written comments and hearing the views expressed at the public hearings, the Commission will issue a final decision on an elective alternative regulation plan for local telephone companies.
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio is the sole agency charged with regulating public utility service and rates. The role of the Public Utilities commission of Ohio is to assure all residential, business, and industrial consumers have access to adequate, safe, and reliable utility services at fair prices while facilitating an environment that provides competitive choices.

Monk's Dream: Fifty Years Fresh on JazzSet
March 30, 2012. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: Benny Green, JazzSet, Monk's Dream
JazzSet's Mark Schramm got the story: Not long after Thelonious Monk was on the cover of TIME magazine in 1964, a saxophonist and sculptor named Bert Green played "Monk's Dream" for his son Benny in the garage of their family home in Berkeley, CA. It was the first music Benny ever heard, his primary influence.
Now Benny -- Oscar Peterson's choice for the Glenn Gould Protege Prize in 1994 -- is coming back to his source.
Peter Washington is on bass, Kenny Washington on drums, with special guest baritone sax man Gary Smulyan. Maybe you're wondering if the bari can thrive outside a big band. Well, tune right in because Smulyan's stamina and musicality make for serious fun, right in line with the one-of-a-kind, quirky, syncopated, logical, every-note-counts tunes by Thelonious, and the spot-on delivery from Benny, Peter and Kenny.
Sunday, April 1, at 6pm and Wednesday, April 4, at 6:30 .. or any time this week online at wbgo.org/jazzset.

Expert Q & A Answers About
I'm a woman and I want to decrease my high libido for the sake of my low libido husband. Any suggestions?
My spouse works a lot and is usually too tired for sex. I, on the other hand, could go for it anywhere, anytime, all the time. So what can I do to decrease my sex drive so he doesn't have to feel like I always want to jump his bones? I want him to be happy and I am tired of being frustrated. Your help and advice are appreciated, thanks for your time.
My wife and I are swingers...but lately she seems very interested in one other person. How do I talk to her about?
My wife and I have been involved in the "swinger" scene for some time now. It's been a wonderful way to express our sexuality as a couple over the years. However, I've sensed she has had more than a fleeting attraction to one of the other husbands we've been playing with in the last month. I'm somewhat surprised because we've always been so open with one another, but I don't know how to even bring this up. How can I address this with her without her feeling like I don't trust her? I don't want us to have to change our lifestyle.
I was sexually abused as an adolescent...now I'm sexually unresponsive to my new partner. Can you help?
I am an adult survivor of extreme domestic violence growing up, during which I was sexually abused as an adolescent. I recently met a wonderful man...but I admit that I'm always looking for something to be wrong with him. He told me he loved me and bought me gifts for Valentine's Day, but I'm not sexually responsive to him. I don't know if I feel safer with unavailable men, or if I just am not attracted to him in spite of his gestures. Please help.
My partner is emotionally abusive and I can't seem to orgasm...what's going on?
I'm in my 40s and I've had a weight problem almost all my life. When I was growing up, my father made negative comments about my body and called me a whore. Now, my partner makes negative comments, too…and since my total hysterectomy, I can't seem to have an orgasm any more. What do I need to do to have an orgasm?
Are couples with one disabled partner more likely to get divorced?
Are there any studies on divorce rates among couples in which one person has a disability? What's the main reason for divorce? Does sexual dysfunction play a role? Do people with more severe disabilities have more marital problems? How about people who were married before they became disabled?
Now that I'm 64, I only ejaculate about half the time when I have sex. What's going on?
I'm a 64-year-old male in very good physical condition, but I don't seem to ejaculate consistently. I have sex about 3-4 times per week. I'll have sex and be able to ejaculate one week and then nothing the next week. I can't figure it out. What's going on?
What happens to male sexuality with age?
I'm 35, seeing a man who's 55. What can you tell me about male sexuality at his age?
I'm a 70-year-old with a high libido and a body that doesn't cooperate. What can I do?
I'm 70, and I still have the hots for my wife. But my mind and body aren't in synch like they used to be. My erections come and go – both before and during sex. Do you have any ideas for how to handle these unexpected interruptions?
My wife got drunk and kissed another woman. Does this mean she's bisexual or gay?
A few months back, my wife went out with a friend of hers to a night club. My wife was drinking and ended up kissing another woman. Does that mean she's bisexual or gay, or is it normal behavior? Most of her friends are either lesbian or bisexual...so maybe that has something to do with it?By the way, she's 21 and I'm 24.
I have a strong sex drive, but my older partner couldn't care less about sex. What are our options?
My partner and I are a gay couple and we have a problem in the bedroom. He's 43 and not a very sexual person, while I'm 22 with a strong sex drive. He acts like sex is a chore. In fact, when I don't come onto him, we don't have sex. I don't want to always throw myself at him...but I also don't want to cheat or break up with him. So what can I do to get him to like sex the way I do?

Philadelphia Phillies (41-34) at Cincinnati Reds (43-35)
Roy Halladay, RHP (9-6, 2.29 ERA) vs. Aaron Harang, RHP (6-7, 5.07 ERA)
Time: 12:35, Great American Ballpark
Weather: Sunny, 77
TV: Comcast SportsNet
Twitter: @philliesnation
Game 1 of the Post-Utley/Polanco Experiment went about as well as it could go. Wilson Valdez played second base and hit a three-run bomb. The Phillies won the game, the Braves and Mets lost, and all is well with the world. Greg Dobbs went hitless, but we'll give him a pass after the roller-coaster ride the team put everyone on. Dobbs tenure at third will be of the day-to-day variety, it would seem.
To today's matchup, where Roy Halladay looks for double digits in wins for the sixth straight season. He's faced the Reds twice in his career and has gone 1-0 with a 3.68 ERA. Who would you rather have on the mound with a series win at stake? Lets do it…
Aaron Harang is opposite the Doc and has been relatively sub-par this year, and for the previous two years as well. Over his past 71 starts, Harang has just 18 victories against 38 losses. The Phillies have shelled him over nine career starts, as he's given up 32 earned runs over just 54 innings of work. After last night's wild victory, an easier way to win would be to have Doc shut down a touch Cincy lineup and have Harang implode early. Seems possible given the circumstances.
LINEUP: Victorino CF, Dobbs 3B, Rollins SS, Howard 1B, Werth RF, Ibanez LF, Valdez 2B, Sardinha C, Halladay P
Your Gameday Beer– Samuel Adams Latitude 48
As part of the Sam Adams Brewmaster's Collection, and one of the newest to grace the Sam name, Latitude 48 is a unique IPA brewed with a select blend of hops from top German, English, and American growing regions all located close to the 48th latitude within the "hop belt" of the Northern Hemisphere. I've yet to try this beer, but basically anything made by these guys is brilliant. For the early day game, have some smoked salmon for lunch, it's a great pairing. -By Pat
207 Comments
Not game related, but beer related: I'm tempted to get the Brewmaster collection because I've wanted to taste this beer, but I don't like the Blackberry Witbier in there, so I've always passed. Anyone actually try the Latitude 48? Any good? Worth the purchase if I'm going to throw away the two Blackberry Wibiers?
Dobbs again in the second spot. Rollins then Werth. My god. Are we trying to lose.
Pat – 7-8-9 is Valdez, Sardinha, and Halladay.
Heather – I have the same issue, hate the Cherry Wheat (like drinking a beer with a Luden's cherry cough drop), can stomach the Blackberry, but not a fan. I've tried all the rest but the Lat 48, all very good to great (esp the Creamy Stout) – wondering whether it's worth buying a case to dump 4.
when you say "we" .. I assume you're talking about the Mets? Obviously you're not talking about the Phillies, since you're the biggest ANTI-FAN in the history of this blog
Dobbs is batting .444 against Harang career.
rollins – CHOKE
Werth- CHOKE
With a strike zone this wide, Hallday should have at least 10 strike outs.
I hate umpires- their job could easily be replaced by a machine, yet they think everybody is there to see them.
Just what you need form you big guys when the lineup is thin.
If Victorino gets to third like he should have on the hit by Dobbs, he scores on Howard's ground out. Victorino and Werth have absolutely no baseball IQ.
Mark –
Can you keep up this commentary for the full 9-innings? That would be awesome
Tell me again why we are supposed to hate Scott Rolen? Because he thought management was too cheap, and did not show a commitment to winning. Yea, I guess that is why we should boo him.
Werth has no baseball IQ, because he struck out swinging against a Strikeout-pitcher?
I would agree completely that Victorino does not play fundemental baseball … he's too aggressive at the wrong time, and not aggressive enough when the right time comes along ..
I would say that Werth is right there with Utley and Rollins in terms of baseball smarts though .. he plays hard, does the extra things that win games
Don, depending on how this game goes, or lots of times it doesn't even matter, (like last night when they won), I guarantee you will be pulling your hair out by the roots and cursing some commentors (Jeff) due to extreme negativity.
Have you ever seen Werth choke up on the bat and just swing for a single when that is what the team needs? And let's not forget some of the brain farts in the field.
yea I hold nothing against Rolen … or Schilling
I think they are both a$$holes in personality, but I can't blame either of them for not wanting to play in the Vet on a 5th place team for the rest of their careers
Great job by the reulars so far
0-4 , weak groundout , 3k's vs. a pitcher who can't get anybody else in the league out.
Nice work, boys!
Also, how many 3-4 strikeout games have you seen from Werth? He is good for 2-3 a month.
I just think its beat .. .like if you're a Mets fan, or Braves, Nats, whoever ..
there's no need to just talk smack on every out the phillies make, or everytime the other team scores a run.. I highly doubt that its a Reds fan .. and so if its a fan of another team, your life must suck to be posting anti-Phillies when they aren't even playing each other
When Werth is hot, he is one of the best baseball players in the league. When he is cold, he is painful to watch. He will get an 0-2 count before you even sit in your seat. And is good for a dirty knee strike also.
I had a feeling Lidge was going to blow that lead last night after he didn't get that strike call from the "ump", but I didn't bail on the team because you can never be sure they won't come back to tie or win. Now, think how it'd be if you were an Orioles fan….I swear every time I see the scores post-game, the O's have lost. We are VERY fortunate to have a team like this in our city.
Ok guys, we got a game with the Reds today. And that only means one thing. Bad News for the Reds.
The people who complain about Rolen now are the same people who did not even go to the games when he played here. He was an amazing player and was the shining star on some incredibly bad teams.
How is the good Doctors velocity today? Just found out that the game is blacked out in the Philly area – and my Comcast connection is off to work today (rat!)
Hey did Dobbsy get his hit for the month of June?
One can only hope he and the regulars just find that switch.
Doc looks fine, haven't really been noticing the radar. The Reds are swinging at a lot of pitches early in the count. A lot of 1-3 pitch at-bats for the Reds. A lot of weakly hit ground balls.
Wow. Jimmy popup's return sure has ignited the offense,huh?
His average has already dropped 30 points.
Does anyone else think harang kinda looks like a zombie?
Okay Mark & Keep This Ball: You've now successfully picked apart the entire middle line-up and shredded Werth (who I think most of the ppl here think is one of the better players in baseball today).
Have you used your best stuff, or should we count on more during this game? I think the people here want to enjoy the game by spending their time with some more constructive comments.
Dobbs had a nice single in the first. Victorino should have moved up to third on the hit, but misread the ball. As far as Dobbs goes, sometimes you just have to play the hand you are dealt. He can't look any worse than he has for the past year and a half.
George: Franzke just called him "… the lumbering Aaron Harang."
Hm, 3 – 0 HR from Sardinha against the team that drafted him. Nice. Wow, maybe he turns out to be something.
Sardinha? U serious?? That's what they need – help to come from places we normally wouldn't expect.
There is something you don't see every day! Way to go Sardinha!
Its like the new look Phillies are doing more than there part.
Another 3 run HR!
I'm sorry for criticizing Werth. I guess he is filling in for Utley's role as Golden Boy on these boards. God forbid we ever have an honest assessment of Phillie with rugged good looks.
Don, anti phillies fan. Im a bigger fan then you will ever be. just because i voice my opinion. I have season tickets for 15 years. I run a sports shop and have phillies do signings. i named my two month old son chase. think im a fan.
Sardinha and Schneider have been a huge improvment over Paul Bako. I am totally convinced that in some language. "Bako" translats to "Ahh crap."
Doc has thrown 34 pitches going in to bot of the 4th. Unreal!
I think it was pretty late when I shared what Sarge said on the pre-game show last night – the Phillies PH were a combined 11 for 95 before last night. Absolutely the worst in the majors. How could that be? I'm sure I wasn't the only dope that figured the Phils cleaned house and brought in some new blood that this bench would be much better than 09 (would not have taken much..) but its actually performed worse..
For a while, the PH are the starters and perhaps things will be different.
C'mon Doc
The thing with the Phillies pinch hitters is that alot of them are getting regular playing time, so they are not pinch hitting. Like Schneider, Valdez and Castro. Gload has been fine at pinch hitting. Can't really complain about him too much. But Ben Francisco and Dobbs have been pretty lame.
Nice recovery by Doc there.
Did you see that Dos Equis commercial just there with the Most Interesting man in the world in the hot spring with the monkeys? I am spending $2000 to go there in December. I can't wait.
You have to admit, 11 for 95 is rather like having an AL pitcher with the bat in his hands.
Anybody heading out to Pittsburgh for the games this weekend? PNC is easily one of the best parks in the league. It's a perfect stadium.
Dobbs hitting the ball hard today. May at-bats was what he needed after all.
Been talking about it $$$ – decided I would work instead.
Probably going to look for the Orioles hosting Seattle and see if we can get tickets to watch Lee pitch.
Would you rate PNC better than Camden Yards?
I still have CBP as the best – seeing the field from the concourse is tops – now, I haven't been to many (this year Yankee stadium and the Nat's nest).
Buster Onley said the Mets and Twins will get into a bidding war for Lee. He said the Yankees will make a call but might wait and sign him after the season. Lets hope the Twins get him for there catching prospect. God just to dream of having Doc and Lee back to back. Oh well.
Beautiful 1-2-3 by Doc! An 8 pitch inning which followed a 19 pitch inning.
Just wanted to check in from the beach at 19th street in Wildwood. Listening to the game on my iPhone, drinking a beer. Not gonna lie, this is enjoyable.
This is where Harang says goodbye
Nobody is saying not to voice your opinion. But you're so consistently negative that it's overwhelming, almost consuming. The regulars have a very healthy exchange of ideas, theories & opinions about anything & everything about the Phillies.
Probably the only player who tends to be out of reach is Utley. Werth never has been out of reach, not for any reason, looks or otherwise. I'd say there are an equal number of people who beat him up b/c of his looks as those who do not beat him up b/c of his looks. And frankly I can't believe this is even in discussion with a BASEBALL PLAYER. Wow this is stupid.
In any case, let's address it – it's difficult to fault a guy with his baseball family (knowledge) & upbringing, as well as his history: the pretty intense injury (not his fault), overcoming being thrown on the dungheap, the hard work he's put in & continues to consistently put in (he's played no less than 4 positions), and becoming a much needed, under-paid 4 – 5 tool player on a team full of stars. In a city that loves to beat on its sports stars, Werth has turned out to be a well liked guy (as are Howard, Rollins, Victorino, and Utley). No small feat.
Yea, I do put PNC over Camden Yards. And I put Camden Yards over CBP just based on the fact the concourses at Camden Yards are so much wider. CBP gets a little jammed up at times, especially during rain delays.
At PNC the second level along the 3rd base line is an amazing view of the field and the city. The exterior of the building is great. And I really like how most of the seats in the stadium are in the lower level, almost 2/3rds of the seats are lower level. And you can get tickets for less than face value from the scalpers.
The other great thing about PNC. Attendence is so bad that everybody receives one free ticket a year just by signing up on the Pirates website.
Would it kill one of the regulars to get a FRIGGIN CLUTCH hit ?
Ibanez-USELESS ( he got his weekly hit already last night)
Morris, you put a winning team in either Pittsburg or Baltimore and those concourses will get skinnier.
Every game here is a sellout. I have never seen anything like it.
They're winning Mark & Keep the Ball. Bottom of the 6th and it's 3 – 0. It IS a 'team' after all. Not every single one of them is ON every single day. And I don't think you're using the word "choke" and/or "clutch" under the right circumstances. However, it could just be me.
Dane put a charge into that one.
This Votto is getting on my nerves
Settle down Doc – settle
Saying Dobbs should no way batting 2 is crazy. Why is that negative. A guy we were so happy to get rid of is now back up batting in the top. What about Rollins then Werth. Sticking Dobbs at 6.
55 RBIs and 18 HRs – I hate that Votto. Great, now it's 3 – 1. Jeeze, that should've broken his bat.
Doc is going 9 innings today…
Jamie's looking hot with his hair a little longer, not that anyone cares, but just sayin…..
Bobby D from the beach…shut up, I'm jealous!
I was at 2 games during the Torono series over the weekend. It was such a pleasant crowd. I am partial season ticket holder, and some of the people at the games drive me nuts. It is a very drunken and rude crowd at the games quite often. It was nice to see more familes at the game, and more people there to enjoy themselves at a baseball game instead of just being at an event.
I have seen the Phillies play at Camden Yards a few times. And even with that many people the crowd flows better. I hate trying to walk through Ashburn Alley some games. I love CBP but the narrow concourses is the only thing I don't like. And I hate the people who throw back home run balls from the opposing team.
Alright Shane now take this base!
How come Victorino does not steal bases anymore?
I'm asking the same question Morris
The throwing the ball back when the road team hits a HR at Citizens Bank is pathetic. First of all, it is a Cubs tradition. Why would Phillies fans want to be like Cubs fans? That would be like LA Laker fans wanting to be like New Jersey Nets fans. Or Patriot fans wanting to be like Cleveland Browns fans. You might as well just wear a Cubs jersey to the game. Also, after you throw it, the ball girl just gives it to some little kid whose parents can afford great seats.
attaboy Jimmy Popup. Way to come up big when you team needs you!
Nice job. Keep swinging for that fence. With any luck you'll have that average down to .250 by the end of the weekend.
Just seems like the Phillies no longer steal bases. They don't even try or threaten to. Doesn't make sense to me. I understand Rollins not going because of the bad leg. But what is the excuse for Victorino, Werth and Utley?
sorry to be negative but werth has to make that catch. you want big money you make the catch. trade him for lee.
I am only 5'8″, the first year at CBP I thought I was going to get ill walking Ashburn Alley – like the world was closing in on me!
Quite used to the bustle now, I have had a few partial season plans every year at CBP, this year a FSP.
Throwing back the opposing teams hr balls is a tradition down there. If I had a kid with me and got the ball, it would not matter to me one bit.
Strike out here would be nice or a pop up…
BRING BACK LEE…BRING BACK LEE. Doc is getting the hammer
Stop the bleeding Roy – you can do it.
Is that Ricky Watters playing right field for the Phillies today?
Jeff are you 7?
Damn its that Votto
Joey's depression is coming back. oh no. get him and vick committed.
Wow, that was a horrible called 3rd strike on Votto. It was not even close.
a little bigger but thanks brook.
Another recovery sweet!
Rhodes again? Feeding time?
Jeff …
first, you really named your son Chase.. after Utley? So we found the one player in the organization that you don't think sucks.
second, why on Earth would the Mariners trade Cliff Lee for Jayson Werth, who is also a Free Agent to be …
Your insightful, negative critcism, should land you a permanent spot on 610-WIP
I'll take it… questionable third strike to Votto, weak pop fly to Rolen to get out of the jam. Who closes today?
11 hits- yeah , he's getting around, but he usaully does.
Cmon Jay, we need some distance here.
Werthless -CHOKE
From what I heard, Rhodes was looking like this most of the season, before last night – he set a record for 33 straight innings without giving up a run
haha, Raul's tobacco wad gets bigger every day!
Apparently he's called one or two questionable strikes for Howard and Werth too. At least this ump is consistently inconsistent.
Say hello to the .230's Raul.
Can ANYbody explain why this guy stil has a starting job?
96 pitches thru 7 for Doc. Obviously he starts the 8th inning. If he holds the lead and they bring in Lidge for the 9th I'm gonna go outside and mow the lawn cuz I can't take any more meltdowns.
jimmy Popup, Howard, Werth, Ibanez….
Well, I guess we dont have to wait to see what Lidge does.
See, here in the 8th is where we need a healthy Madson. He has performed well as a setup man in previous years. We really need that 8-9 punch back
Oh, crap. Charlie's going to have to crack down on Roy's insistence on going too deep into games.
This Reds team reminds me of how the Phillies were the past few years. The game was never over.
No W for Roy today – it looks like the bottom of the lineup has to get it done if its getting done…
can you at least tell us which NY team you regularly route for? Or does it vary week-to-week depending on who has the better overall record?
Atta boy, Roy. join the CHOKEfest.
Nice 13 hitter .
Good pitcher , but you ain't a big game guy.
No doubt, Cholly is on his way – who is coming in?
So basically, right now, Charlie Manual is saying that his best arm out of the bullpen to keep a deficit at 1 run in the 8th is Roy Halladay.
anybody notice a pattern???
Red sox- he gets lit up
Yankees- he gets lit up
Twins- he gets lit up
Reds- he gets lit up
Toronto- pitches well.
how is a meaningless june game against cincinnati a "big game"?
Morris, if you can understand Cholly – you have it on most of us
Valdez, Sardinha and Gload? Castro? Bocock? Francisco? I would swap up Benny with Ibanez for sure (maybe if they can keep alive)
Wilson first pitch swinging
Gload continues to impress. Who is next?
Benny is long overdue for a big shot
It's a "big game" because it's the rubber game of a series with your "ace" on the mound. It's actually the reason Halladay was brought to Philly – to win these types of games.
The Reds aren't in first place for no reason… they've got a nice team.
The Reds aren't in first place. They are in second.
Pretty pathetic effort by the offense again.
Another game that should not have been lost – wow
Great now most comments get to be about how this team sucks for the next day….
They are going to have games like this with 2 key members of the lineup missing. Halladay can not be perfect each game. He wasnt great and he wasnt terrible.
They are still playing some pretty good baseball lately, the objective is to hang in until Utley/Polanco return.
3 of 4 from the Pirates….go get it.
Unfortunately I agree that halladay might not be a big game pitcher. I would feel much more comfortable with Cliff lee on the mound in the playoffs than halladay. Halladay pitched all those years for toronto with no pressure.
a complete game loss is still a loss
Im sorry but what the hell is Charlie thinking continually leaving Roy in all the time? Roy had a hard enough time getting out of the 7th without giving up the lead then he just brings him back out there again? What is wrong with 7 innings and 2 runs earned? Bullpen should be able to take over. This is a team sport right? Another game where I hate the moves that Charlie makes.
Thank goodness for Dane Sardinha. The comments will be about how Rollins/Howard/Werth/Ibanez had yet another invisible game. Although Werth had an impact by totally misplaying that ball in the outfield and giving up a run.
the pattern is- he doesn't get it done vs. the good teams
So much for the 23 win talk, huh?
More like 17-15.
halladay arm might fall off before the seasons over…why didn't charlie go to the bullpen?i like charlie and all,but he's horrible when it comes to managing pitching..
If you think Roy got lit up today then you must have only looked at the box score and not actually watched the game.
Roy only had 96 pitches through 7 innings…but I would not have brought him in for the 8th inning considering he was losing it in the 7th.
Halladay gave up too many hits, sure, but we needed to see a lot more today from Rollins, Howard, Werth, and Ibanez.
Phillies struck out 8 times today…7 of them came from the 3-4-5-6 hitters…glad the middle of our order came through for us.
Anybody else starting to consider the "B" word for Halladay? I know all you Phils' apologist will jump all over me, but this guy is finding ways to lose. Cliff Lee? Always found ways to win. I'd expect Sally Girl Hamels to cough up a 3-0 lead, not a "stud" like Halladay. I'm getting close to calling him a BUST.
Morris- the Reds are one up in the win column…
Doesn't it ALWAYS seem like Shane is the one who makes the final out of a game?
even when they traded for doc and got rid of lee,i still wanted lee…if not for him we would of been swept in the world series or maybe not even made it there and he had already proven he can pitch in big games after the world series and amaro trades him away…what a moron…
Someone else mentioned Madson… we missed him today, big time. Close game, 8th inning with no one to turn to. Injuries stink… gotta weather this storm.
The injuries stink, but there are too many guys not pulling their weight. This team has too much talent to be making excuses.
Call him a bust for 4 runs over 8 innings? Especially when it should have been fewer, but Werth misplayed a ball, bad. If the Phillies can't score 4 runs, they shouldn't win. Period. Don't ride pitchers when it's our bats that need to come alive, and stay breathing.
Chuck P…we could have gone to Contreras…which is what I would have done in the 8th. But I hear ya, with Madson he is another option.
Amen Greg.
Oh well, not all is lost. Halladay pitched well enough to win, just needed the offense to take advantage of more situations.
Before everyone jumps off a bridge, remember that the Reds are good. At least we salvaged yesterday's near-debacle.
So, Greg and Ed R.: an ERA today of 4.50 is acceptable for someone who is supposed to be our Horse? Sorry it isn't. Compound that with the fact that it was 3-0, and, I'm sorry, but Halladay has to take a bit of a hit today.
Werth is back in the tank.
Howard continues his homerless ways.
Ibanez is a season long disaster.
Rollins has hit .200 since his return.
Other than that, everything is fine.
Look for nothing but struggles in Pitt.
If you think that we would have been better off with Cliff Lee (and not Roy Halladay) you have no credibility because it's a NO BRAINER. Roy Halladay is arguably the greatest pitcher of this era. Cliff Lee is a nice pitcher that had a great postseason run. He was 7-4 during the regular season with the Phillies last year with a 3.39 ERA. Roy Halladay was 9-6 heading into today with a 2.29 ERA. Some of those losses were not his fault… like, most of them. The guy has been awesome and I don't understand why we can't leave Cliff Lee out of it.
LMAO yea Halladay sucks….
If he gets pulled after 7 and the bullpen implodes then it's "why didnt Charlie keep Roy in?"
You ride the horse that got you there and Roy is a horse. He wasn't tired, he made a bad pitch.
Even that guy in Seattle made some bad pitches from time to time.
Roy isnt a big game pitcher? HAHA, yea ok. 2.35 (?) ERA now, damn what were we thinking getting this bum?
The Original Chuck P, we keep bringing up Lee because we need him now. Out rotation still has a lot of question marks and our offense has been inconsistent. When you can't count on the offense regularly, you have to count on the pitching. Or luck. You pick.
Even before injury, I'd estimate this year's homer totals to be
Howard: 35
Utley: 20
Werth: 25
Ibanez: 12
Compare those to last year.
The fact is that we were not signing Lee after this season. Lee wants MAX money. This team is not the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox, they don't have their own TV network.
Halladay has been outstanding
Hamels has been mostly good this year and getting back to previous form
Blanton is a 2nd half guy
Moyer has been nothing short of outstanding from what we can expect
Kendrick is Kendrick
We will see what Happ has upon his return.
And Amaro will do SOMETHING. He will address the bench and you will probably see another pitcher in here.
Some just gotta chill the hell out. This team has been playing much better over the last couple weeks. Losses like today happen, even to Roy Halladay and even to that guy in Seattle.
I did not see this game, but Charlie, whom I like, has a problem taking a pitcher out before he gives up the lead. I know Halliday wants to go 9 every time, but he gave up a run in the 6th and 7th. You need to trust you pen to get you 6 outs. And I think the pen has been underworked, Jose can pitch back to back nights, he only throw one pitch last nigh, and JC threw what 10? Even if you have to go the american league route and bring a guy for each batter you do that in this game to give you Ace a win. Charlie did with KK the other night also, no way he should have been brought back out in the 7th, when they start to get hit you need to take them out. I do not know where this lack of confidence in the pen comes from, does it all go back to one game where they blew a 5 run lead. Charlie needs to get over that, and bring in a guy to start the 7-8 or 9th inning when the starter is starting to get hit, not wait til after he is done and lost a lead.
But it is only one loss, just leaves us little room in Pittsgurgh, we need a sweep, because with this offense, 1 out of 3 in Atlanta will be tough
Chuck P you get over it. Lee is eating Doc this year. Three complete games. With a horrible team. He shut the Yankees down. When you have a three run lead with your ace you win. Doc did not do it. Like I said earlier he got hammered. Should of kept Lee and Drabek and that would of been better. Doc will not be the same here. 13 HITS. They just find new ways to lose. So happy Howie got his money. No power. This team is going nowhere.
Werth is back in the tank… let's see, he's 4/10 over the past three games with 3 BB and 5 R. Sounds terrible, doesn't it?
Howard is hitting .295 with 15 HR and 55 RBI… on pace for 30+ HR and 120+ RBI. What a bum…
Ibanez has collected a hit in 8 of the past 11 games… he's not lighting the world on fire but he has showed some signs that he's going to come out of this (and we're going to need him to).
Rollins's value goes wayyyyy beyong his batting average (but anyone who watched this team struggle while he was out already knows that).
Betcha they sweep the Poo-rates…
Jeff you need to climb back into the whole you came from in NY or where ever. This team has not been together for the whole year, and even if the Mutts and Baves win tonight, they will only be 2 games back in the loss column, and that is with a average to bad june. So get over yourself, pitchers go through these types of streaches like batters do, Charlie has to learn to trust his pen again, and get these starters wins so guys like you can't complain about win lose records. Unlike your team the Mets last year, which just went into the tank when their guys got hurt, the Phillies are still withing striking distance dispite not having 2/3 of the rotation for most of the year, and 2/3 of you infield out, so go smoke some grass and go back to NY and cheer for your Mets team, who despite the Phillies strugles have not pulled away form anybody in the east.
teejvee: Howard's avg is 295. Werth's avg is 292.
They both were 1 – 4 today but Werth had a run.
Werth currently has 1 less HR than Howard.
Ibanez hit in a bunch of runs the night we went into extra innings to beat the Reds.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Rollins' value… grammatical abortion.
shag beta I hope thats a real college. WHOLE…Its hole moron. How can Charlie learn to trust his pen. HE HAS NO PEN. DUMMY
Halladay now has 6 complete games…..Cliffy got some catching up to do.
Would someone please grace everyone with some of the comments when Amaro landed Lee instead of Halladay? We can see who the true hypocrites are.
A team loss today; from the starting pitcher all the way down to the manager. At least Halladay kept his team in the game and should have been relieved after seven innings. Not enough offense; if not for our catcher's home run, would have been shut out. Werth's defensive miscue came up big as it led to losing margin of one run. Ibanez and Victorino; not getting it done at all at the plate. Phillies continue not being able to solve Red's pitcher Harang when other teams areable to hit him around. Uneasy thought as to how the Phils are going to fare against Atlanta and the Reds next week at CBP.
Hey The Original Chuck P…I'll bet you one billion dollars (pinky at side of mouth) that the Phils don't sweep the Pirates. They way they are playing this year, combined with the fact they never play well in Pittsburgh, makes me think they'll be lucky to split the series.
Hey Jeff… Halladay was pretty good early on, too while Cliff Lee was on the DL.
Cliff Lee has gotten 5.17 runs of support on average on a "crappy" team… Roy Halladay has gotten 4.50 runs of support, 7th worst in MLB.
Cliff Lee has one CG SHO to Roy's three (one being perfect).
Great we are not paying the best pitcher in baseball to be good early on. He is your ace. After a dramatic win last night and you have a 3 run lead tody, you win. thats why he is here. lee fit this team so much better.
Cliff Lee is a GREAT pitcher, don't get me wrong and I would have loved to have kept him and Halladay but if it really did come down to Lee or Halladay, I see absolutely no way that you could go the other way, especially considering Cliff Lee is going to be a free agent. I think that we should have kept them both but I'm playing with Monopoly money.
The pitching match-ups aren't bad for this upcoming series: Hamels/McCutchen (favors Hamels)
Moyer/Ohlendorf (favors Moyer)
Kendrick/Maholm (favors Maholm but Kendrick's pitching life is on the line so maybe he's got a gem in him)
Blanton/Karsten (toss up… maybe Blanton slightly)
A 4 game sweep is probably wishful thinking but I could see it happening.
If this offense cannot score more than 4 runs in a game, something is wrong and it aint the pitching.
Another gutty performance by Doc – the offense, excuse me, the big money players did not perform again. That is the reason for this Loss today.
great. halladay should be proud of this complete game. he threw no pitches inside today. let the reds swing away. i was all for having lee. i thought jr did right by holding strong. got a great pitcher that everyone in baseball now wants. lee with that catch in the world series with one hand. thats the man/.
I don't see a sweep in Pittsburgh. They'll be lucky to get out of there with a split. This team obviously has major issues to address.
I'm Ted Bell.
Jeff, if you were a fan, why would you want an inferior pitcher? Cliff Lee is DAMN GOOD. He is not as good as Roy Halladay, still though. Halladay has a 2.35 ERA after over 11 games. He has 3 CG SO's, one BEING A PERFECT GAME, and then he has 3 more CG's. Guess what though! He lost one of those CG's because of an anemic offense. Halladay's SUPERB pitching is NOT the problem. It's the team's offensive struggles that have hurt him. IF Halladay had 5 runs per game, he'd probably be around 14 wins right now. His losses in complete games came on a 2-1, and 1-0 (After 8 IP).
What a bum. Cliff Lee's getting RUN SUPPORT. Look it up. It's something Halladay hasn't gotten all year.
It's a damn shame. No bullpen. No hitting. No win. Then Phils are not going to make the playoffs, in my opinion. It was a nice run while it lasted.
He got three runs today. Should be enough for your ace. Halladay has gotten beat up by all the good hitting teams.
Also Jeff, let me put this into perspective: Would you rather have Cliff Lee for 1 year, then have Hamels be our ace again after Lee signs in Free Agency with another team, or would you rather have Roy Halladay for 3 years, at the STEAL of 60 million dollars, no question's asked? You can only choose one. Which is it?
If you chose Halladay, you are Ruben Amaro Jr., and you've made the choice the Ownership told him he had to make.
If you chose Lee, you're a dumbass who doesn't care about the future of this team. Thus, it could be assumed that you have never watched the Phillies pre-2007, when having a pitcher like Figueroa or Eaton was the big topic. Not Lee or Halladay.
I will say this now. You guys will all regreat that howard contract. Wait and see.
Jeff, why are you changing the subject? Also, three runs was enough, if Werth had made that catch. But he didn't, so we suffered a loss. If you're not a fan, leave this site.
Immaturity is one thing, but you're taking it to a whole new level with your trolling.
I would gotten halladay and kept lee for 9 million. world series lock.
So Jeff, Mark – kids – what we need to see is every time that Roy Halladay pitches, he should give up 2 runs or less? Wait, I take that back. On May the 18th he gave up 2 runs to the Pirates and lost 2-1. On June 10th, he gave up 1 run to Fla and lost. So, he should pitch just shutouts every game. What a slacker@!
His ERA is 2.42 guys! His record should be more like 12 (or 13) wins and 3 losses if he had run support.
you guys put werth, halladay, howard on the moon. werth is so overrated for one. i have no idea why he did what he did. maybe juice. he is a very nice player not worth what he is looing for. they should of let howard play out his contract. he will be in his mid 30s.
pirates and florida. two teams that stink. how bout holding the yankees down, or even the sox.
"Rollins's value goes wayyyyy beyong his batting average (but anyone who watched this team struggle while he was out already knows that)."
Like? ?????
He's hitting .200 since his return.
He's not been a factor except in maybe 2 games.
He's just another guy killing this team offensively.
That wasn't a choice, Jeff! Ruben HAD to choose, Halladay for 3 years, Lee for none. Or Lee for 1 year, Halladay slips away.
THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO POSSIBLE CHOICES. Don't you think Ruben would have loved to have Two legitimate aces? The guy is a fan of the team. Hell, he played for it. He loves this team. Sure, he's made some bonehead choices, but he was given two possible scenario's, and he chose the one 99.99% of people with IQ's over 60 would choose.
Phillies are averaging 4.75 runs per game …
and in the last week, the scored 9 runs or more, FOUR times
People forgetting the Polanco, Utley, and Ruiz are on the DL and they aren't going to put up firework-offense everynight without those guys
Reds are no joke either, they lead the NL in Batting Average, Runs, Hits, RBI and SLG%
I have a beautiful Halladay authentic jersey for 65. if anyone wants to buy.
Ok Greg, why not hold onto lee for a few more weeks then give him away for trash. please. three players that will never be heard from again for one of the games top pitchers. its worst then what we gave up for him.
Good. Sell all your Phillies paraphernalia. Go back to rooting for whichever team wins the World Series the previous year. We don't want bandwagon fans.
(FYI, last year, it was the Yankees…because our offensive sucked).
Im selling it because i have one already. was being nice and selling if for 65. its sell for over 250.
If ACE starters should only give up 3 runs a game, what does it say about Cliff Lee that his career ERA is a 1/2 run higher than Roy Halladay's
Halladay = 3.37
Lee = 3.86
In America, Halladay would be rounded down to a 3 ERA, while Lee would be rounded UP to a 4
also crazy.. is that Halladay, despite getting "Rocked" in his last few starts still has a lower ERA than Cliff Lee this year
Halladay = 2.42
Lee = 2.45
Jeff! I don't know if you're mentally retarded, or what, but you don't understand! It's not hard to comprehend. Ruben had TWO, count them, One…two…, choices. Halladay for 3 years, Lee for 1. Not keep Lee until the trade deadline, then trade him. He had to trade him to a lesser team that wouldn't give us problems. Do you really think the Phillies want to give the Yankees a stud like Lee, or the Red Sox, or the Braves, or the Muts?
How stupid are you, Jeff?
Also, since when are you Miss. Effin Cleo? You can read the future? What do you have to say about Biddle? Is he going to flop, too? I'm going to laugh when Phillipe Aumont becomes one of the best pitchers in the league in four years, and when you find out, you'll be sitting in an asylum wondering why your parents dropped you on your head repeatedly as a kid, and forced the ridicule upon you on a daily basis.
Halladay could of pitched better today with a 3-0 lead. we did give away drabek and taylor.
you are clearly a knowledgeable baseball fan ..
Explain to me.. how, if the Phillies STOLE Cliff Lee from the Indians, while Lee had 1.5 years left under contract
we would then get MORE in return from a team to get him for only 1 year, instead of 1.5 ….
It's also been suggested that Amaro could have waited longer and gotten better prospects from such teams as the Yankees and RedSox … the same teams that didn't want to give up more than what we did for Lee at 1.5 years, would then change their minds, and top that offer for 1.0 years of Cliff Lee?
Whenever you get a chance, thanks!
I cannot believe this fruit loop is honestly thinking that an Ace has to throw a CG SO every time out…
aumont. you mean the man that got sent way down. are you a moron. did not have to trade lee at the deadline but jr could of waited a couple more weeks in the offseason. put his name out there. they traded him because they wanted everyone to think it was apart of the doc deal. are you that stupid. all jr has done is given out these huge contracts. gillick cleaned all that crap up.
i never said that greg and your p i s s i n g me off. i said you have your ace on the mound. you have key players hurt. 3-0 lead late and you need this man to shut the door.
we gave nobody to get lee last season and for that we got a guy that almost won us a world series by himself.
So why aren't you riding Jayson for not making that catch? Why am I pissing you off? Because of your incompetence at understanding basic knowledge of a sport? Why aren't you angry that the only runs came off of a fourth string catcher?
Priorities — Get them in order.
now we have NO FARM, our players are getting older. Raul is a joke, Howard will need a wheelchair when his big deal is done. Jimmy is not the same player. Werth will be out of here after this season. We have a 47 year old pitcher that might have to stay until 50. Cole is not the guy he was. Shades of it at times but nowhere near. Blanton, Kendrick are you crazy. No pen or closer. no bench. where are they going. nobody in the league will trade for anyone.
And chooch is on fire right. please. not my fault jr gave howie all that money not to hit the long ball.
And guess what: Roy Halladay was demoted from MLB to Single-A Dunedin…he came up later to win a Cy Young, have a Perfect game, and be appointed to the All-Star team more than 6 times.
Just because someone gets demoted, doesn't mean he is a flop. It means he needs to work on his area, and improve. Doc did it, and he is now known as the best current pitcher in baseball.
Since you love Cliff Lee so much, here's some information for you:
He was shuttled around from Triple A down to A+ in 2003. After getting promoted back up to Triple A in 2007, he again was ousted to A+.
What a flop, huh? Oh wait, in 2008, he won the Cy Young.
We won't know for a few weeks what Seattle will get for Lee, but all the rumors are floating names that are much better prospects than what RAJ settled on. Of course they're just rumors at this point, so until Seattle actually pulls the trigger we can't evaluate how good or bad RAJ did with his Lee deal.
I'm Ted Bell.
Cole Hamels DID win us a World Series by himself.. and at 26 years old, he's far from reaching his peak as a Major League player
He's still here …
and with him, we added a pitcher with better career numbers than Cliff Lee, in Roy Halladay .. and then signed Halladay to the exact extension that wasn't enough money for Lee
Also … I think i've said this 5x in the past month, but the Phillies changed the arm-angle on Aumont's delivery …. so of course his control is going to take a while to adjust.. his poor numbers are due in large part to him WALKING too many hitters
Since he's still 21-22 years old, with a pro-sized body, and arm-stregth that you can't teach … he's still a super-prospect in the eyes of many
Don – It's slightly disturbing that the centerpiece of the Lee deal is a "project player". The common consensus is that for a player of Lee's caliber (and for one full year of service) the return should have included at least one player that was close to being major league ready. I hope the rumor mills are wrong, because it seems like Seattle has a good chance of getting a bigger return for Lee as a two month rental than RAJ got for Lee as a full season player.
I'm Ted Bell.
Jeff If we have no farm and we don't keep our core players, the ones who have won consistently for three years now, who do we put on the field? It sounds like you do not want to keep any of our current players at their contracts but go out and get other free agents. Sounds good get rid of current players that will be free agents and sign other free agents. Stupid.

Carving powder -- instead of ham -- on Christmas
Many people decided to celebrate their day off Tuesday by skipping carving the holiday ham in favor of carving a few runs at Mt. Spokane instead.
Up on the hill skiers and snowboarders alike took advantage of the fresh snow Tuesday. Some people might ask why going skiing on Christmas. For those that hit the slopes the question was 'Why not?'
For Grayson and Maxwell Sykes, hitting the slopes Tuesday was a start of a new tradition for them.
"Good so far," Maxwell said. "Shredding it up."
Even with the mountain so foggy even Rudolph would need a flashlight people kept pulling up and gearing up with freshly unwrapped presents.
"We had to try on everything so we knew it was already there," Colin Deyarmin said.
Deyarmin planned to make the most out of the holiday on the slopes; he planned to stay on the mountain "probably till it closes. Probably go as long as we can go."
And what better way to enjoy a white Christmas than to spend it on the slopes?

Woman pleads innocent to stabbing
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Randolph woman who allegedly plunged a steak knife into her boyfriends chest on Wednesday afternoon after he announced hed had enough and was moving out made a somewhat dazed appearance in court Thursday.
Wearing a Mickey Mouse T-shirt, Cindy LaPlante, 51, glanced nervously around the courtroom in while a public defender entered an innocent plea on her behalf to a charge of first-degree aggravated domestic assault with a deadly weapon.
Witnesses told police that blood was spurting out of Troy Lafountains upper chest area in the moments after LaPlante allegedly attacked him on while the couple were arguing on her fathers front porch on School Street.
The 48-year-old Lafountain was previously married to Cindy LaPlante and her father, Harold LaPlante, told police that the couple had been staying with him the past two months and drinking heavily and often engaging in intense verbal arguments, according to affidavits filed with the court.
Randolph Police Sgt. David Leighton said that he responded to the emergency room at the Gifford Medical Center, where he found Lafountain covered in blood being treated for what was determined not to be a life-threatening stab wound.
Leighton said that Lafountain was conscious and alert but initially did not want to provide police with any details of what had happened, asking instead if they could just let it go.
A short time later, Leighton wrote in his report, the clearly intoxicated LaPlante showed up at the hospital saying that Lafountain had been injured when he accidentally fell onto one of her crochet hooks. Leighton said that later in the evening, after hed arrested LaPlante and taken her to the police station, she blew a 0.322 percent blood alcohol level when given a breath test.
During LaPlantes court appearance on Thursday, Judge Katherine Hayes described LaPlantes alcohol level at the time of the alleged crime as alarming and urged that she be found a bed at an in-patient treatment facility. Hayes said she was prepared to release LaPlante back into her fathers custody so she could receive medical detoxification treatment and she ordered her not to have any contact with Lafountain while her criminal case is pending.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

I have a Bachelor of Science in a discipline that is notoriously difficult to obtain employment in with ONLY a BS. I knew this going into the program, and I am currently enrolled in a Master's degree program. However, I work in a capacity that is far removed from the work I'd like to be doing. It is monotonous, mind numbingly dull, and totally not a challenge for me. But it pays bills so for that I am thankful.
I'd like this new job because:
1) I'd like a job that challenges me
2) I'd like a job that's in my field and area of interest
3) I'd like the experience I'd gain from obtaining this employment
4) I'd be able to maintain my current retirement plan and be vested within the next year
Thanks in advance for prayers and good thoughts! I really appreciate it!

Thanks again everyone for the mojo.
And mojo for a good interview would be welcome too!
Sending you good interview mojo, although I'm confident you've got this all on your own.
And never grow a wishbone, daughter, where your backbone ought to be.
