According to police, Matthew Thiele, 26, of Kenedy was crossing Main Street from an area where businesses are located toward a parking lot. He was crossing between 2nd and 3rd Streets, police said.
Thiele was struck by a Chrysler Caravan driven by Lindsay Riojas, 26, of Kenedy, who was driving west on Main Street.
Riojas was reportedly following behind another vehicle not involved with the accident when Thiele apparently stepped behind the vehicle she was following. Riojas applied her brakes and took evasive action but didn't have time to stop before striking Thiele.
Police don't believe the vehicle was speeding at the time of the accident.
Thiele was transported by EMS to Otto Kaiser Memorial Hospital and later was transported from the hospital via AirLife to San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC).
A hospital spokesperson said Monday that Thiele was listed in stable condition.
A similar accident happened several weeks ago on the opposite side of the same intersection, according to police.
An elderly gentleman was injured while crossing to the Karnes County Adult Day Care center when a driver turning onto Main from Second Street hit the man, claiming that he did not see him. The man was treated by EMS, police said.
The downtown area is becoming more and more hazardous to pedestrians, Kenedy Police Chief Duane DuBose said.
"Between First Street and about Fourth Street," DuBose said. "There are so many things going on with the street. You have cars backing up. You have pedestrians intermingling with vehicles, you have got two intersections coming out, there are a lot of things going on. We are just asking people that when they come down to Main Street, remember the posted speed limits. Be aware, and when walking, use the crosswalks."
"Be aware of what is going on," DuBose offered in the form of advice to both pedestrians and those driving vehicles in the downtown area.

Are you sure it is all foremilk?
If you pump and get anything, and it stands, what does it look like? Because, honestly, I have never heard of anything at all like this. And I have a lot of experience. I think the green stools are more likely to be because of something else.
Weight...it depends on other factors before I start worrying.
Breast compressions...go to the pumping forum and there is a how-to link in there. Give it a whirl. You may get more milk.
Is your pump new, or is it the one you used before? If so, it might be worn out, as honestly, it sounds like you have plenty of milk.


text: my almost 3 week old son isnt staying on for very long 2-5 (im lucky to see 5 min.) he falls asleep or delatches. i try getting him back on (changing diaper, burping, tickling, moving legs etc) to get him to wake back up. so after 20min or so of trying to get him up i give up. if at night i put him back in his bassenet and a few min later he wants to eat again. is there any advise on how to keep him latched on longer without making a production number out of feeding. he does this during the day as well. he used to stay on for 30-45min. im afraid im going to loose milk. i had a hand pump but it broke. (i went through 3pumps with my first -bad luck or something) i dont wanna loose milk supply cos in the rare case he does stay on for 10 min i hear gulping every 3rd sucking. im frustrated.

Beach season, a high school reunion or a New Year's resolution, it seems everyone has a reason to get into better shape. But not everyone has the right tools for the job.
Dieting and exercise can only go so far before hitting a major plateau at the midsection. You won't get a flat stomach with just some crunches, but on top of an exercise routine, some targeted exercises can go a long way.
Fighting that stubborn gut can be tough, but with a few good exercises and a little willpower, anyone can crunch their core.
From low impact to big time muscle mashers, we've got five abdominal exercises for you to try.
Of course, anyone with health problems should consult their doctor before starting any kind of exercise routine, but these exercises may be just what you need to push beyond the paunch plateau.
No. 5: The bicycle kick
The bicycle kick, or bicycle crunch, is a good starting point on the journey to better abs. It's fairly low impact, so it won't leave your back feeling sore like the same old crunch.
The bicycle kick was named the No. 1 most effective ab exercise by a 1997 San Diego State University study, but it's still easy to get the hang of.
First, lie flat on the ground with your lower back pressed to the ground and hold your head with your hands at the sides. Then, bring one knee to a 45-degree angle -- or the same angle you would reach while riding a bike that is a little too small.
Touch your opposite arm to your knee and repeat, alternating legs and arms each repetition.
No. 4: Vertical leg crunch
The vertical leg crunch is in the top five best exercises for both abdominal muscles and oblique muscles, and not because it's low-impact.
To do the vertical leg crunch, lie flat on the floor and cross your legs at the ankle. Raise your legs, keeping your knees slightly bent.
Keep your lower back flat against the ground and contract your abdominal muscles as you would in a typical crunch or sit-up. As you crunch, your legs will extend into the air making a tight V shape with your body. Exhale as you compress and inhale as you relax your muscles.
Only do a few repetitions of this exercise. The vertical leg crunch could have you feeling pretty sore if you overdo it early.
No. 3: Exercise ball crunch
It seems most people have an exercise ball lying around, mostly collecting dust or taking up space. But used correctly, that rubber decoration could help you get better abs.
The exercise ball crunch came in third on a San Diego State University study comparing the best ab exercises. It works so well because not only do you work your abs by crunching, but also by keeping your body balanced.
To do this exercise, sit on the ball with your feet flat on the ground. Roll the ball toward your back until your body is parallel to the ground. Then do a small crunch without moving the ball. Since you are using the entire midsection to balance on the ball, the crunch should only lift you about 45 degrees.
To get even more oomph out of the exercise ball crunch, place your feet closer together. You'll be forced use more muscles to balance.
No. 2: Captain's chair

Star Power1 of 18
In its 19th annual Women in Hollywood issue, ELLE presents nine top leading ladies, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Emma Watson, Octavia Spencer and Elle Fanning. See what they have to say about making it in Tinseltown, and take a look at some of their most recent style highlights. —Glo
Sarah Jessica Parker2 of 18
On Carrie Bradshaw and future roles: "I don't love the idea of playing another woman who loves fashion and is slightly flawed in New York City. I loved Carrie, and I don't want to do the poor man's version of her. And while those are often the lucrative things to do, it's more reason to look in the other direction."

In Full Bloom3 of 18
At the New York City Ballet Fall Gala, Parker opted for an ethereal floral-embroidered cape and gown from Valentino.
ON ELLE: 10 Amazing Celeb Red Carpet Looks
Body Work4 of 18
Parker's Fashion Week look? A fitted jersey dress by Diane von Furstenberg, perfect for showing off her trim figure.
Pink Lady5 of 18
Earlier this year at an amfAR gala, Parker turned heads by combining a feminine pink gown and ladylike gloves with a leather moto jacket.
Working Mom6 of 18
Parker gives her little one a lift while out and about in New York City. With Converse kicks and pastel cargo pants with zipper details, star's casual look still has plenty of style.
Emma Watson7 of 18
On Harry Potter fame: "I just knew, from the moment I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone that I was meant to play that role…I put one of the Potter films on the other night. And it was amazing to me that I had done all of that. I have to remind myself every now and then."
Business or Pleasure?8 of 18
Watson looked all grown-up in a sleek black pants and fitted white blazer. The black heels—with their gold ankle chains—give the look its final touch of sophistication and strength.
Lady in Red9 of 18
The actress shows off her sexy side in a red-hot Valentino dress with a clingy lace top.
Tough Enough10 of 18
The doll-faced Watson adds some edge to her otherwise sweet ensemble with a tailored leather jacket that accentuates her itty-bitty waist.
Octavia Spencer11 of 18
On standing up for herself: "Early on I had to stand up to a producer—I won't say who, but he is famous, famous. He dressed me down in a crowded office. I told him right there in front of a hundred people, 'You don't know me well enough to use that tone.' And then I ran to the bathroom and cried like a baby."
Puttin' On the Glitz12 of 18
The Oscar winner wowed in a hand-beaded Tadashi Shoji gown on her winning night.
Sky's the Limit13 of 18
At the Toronto International Film Festival in September, Spencer makes a statement in bright sky blue.
Easy Does It14 of 18
Teal jeans and a polka-dot scarf keep Spencer's laid-back look fresh and fun.
Elle Fanning15 of 18
On having a normal childhood in Hollywood: "I can't really remember my life without movies... [Growing up in Hollywood] is no different really. I make movies the same way other kids play tennis or go to piano lessons. I'm trying to get better at what I want to do, just like other kids are trying to get better at what they want to do."
Sunny Side Up16 of 18
At the Critics Choice Movie Awards, Fanning went for sprightly and springy in a sunflower-happy Rodarte dress.
Class Act17 of 18
Black heels give Fanning's schoolgirl-sweet look a dose of glamour.
Age of Innocence18 of 18
With her milkmaid braids and vintage-inspired gown, Fanning looks like she could have stepped out of another era.

A Message Worth Fighting For
Paul's letter to the Galatians is relentless in its insistence that there is only one, true gospel. Any subtraction from or addition to the saving message of God's work in Jesus Christ renders the gospel impotent. That is why Paul …Read More

Before you can reduce the negative effects of stress, you have to find out what causes your stress and how you cope. One tool that can help is mindfulness, which is a practice of becoming more aware of what's going on—in your body, mind, and the environment around you. Rather than running back to a habitual pattern of avoiding or obsessing, mindfulness allows you to simply be present and notice what's happening right now, giving you the space to choose the best way to respond.
1. What are your sources of stress?
Strange as it may seem, we are often not aware of what causes us stress. So take time to check in with yourself, without judgment. How are you feeling? Pay attention to your body—are your muscles tense or relaxed? Is your breathing deep or shallow? Are you holding your hands open or curled in fists? You may be surprised to find when you are experiencing stress or simply reminded that you find certain situations difficult. Just let yourself acknowledge the feeling.
2. What can you do about your stressors?
Once you know your sources of stress, you can see if you can do anything to reduce or reframe them. For example:
If you can't eliminate or reduce a stressor, simply being aware of it can help you recognize when you need to take corrective action.
3. How do you experience stress?
Knowing how you experience stress will help you recognize when you are at risk. When you feel stressed:
Answering these questions could lead to greater awareness and understanding of how stress affects you.
4. How do you cope with stress?
Do you have healthy coping mechanisms, such as exercise [4], meditation [5], or getting support [6] from family and friends? Or do you overeat, watch too much TV, drink, or smoke to reduce stress? Pay attention: do your coping mechanisms really alleviate the stress, or do they simply offer a quick escape or chance to "numb out"? A temporary distraction may make you feel better right now, but long-term avoidance tends to create more stress, and it robs you of the chance to learn and grow from your experience.
We often respond to stressful events in ways that are not particularly helpful. Sometimes our attitudes become negative, defeatist, or worrisome, which can make it difficult to mindfully deal with stress.
If this sounds familiar to you, know that simply adjusting your attitude can reduce stress. Research suggests that if you approach a situation as a challenge, rather than a threat, you don't trigger the stress responses that can damage health. And as a bonus, you are likely to think more clearly and have better motor control! Try the following tips:

Vermonters dump their drugs but not as much as in the pastAlbert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Rutland County sheriffs deputies Kathryn Myhre and Scott Bigelow sort through outdated prescription drugs brought to the Diamond Run Mall for safe disposal Saturday.
Angelo and Bessie Centini put some worries out of their minds and their medicine cabinet Saturday when they brought some bottles of unused prescriptions to a collection point at the Diamond Run Mall.
Its peace of mind, oh yeah, said Angelo Centini, 81.
The Mount Holly couple were two of the hundreds of people who visited 26 collection points around Vermont to drop off drugs that, for all manner of reasons, they did want or need any more.
The haul of pharmaceuticals ranging from inhalers and acid inhibitors to heart medication and powerful painkillers was collected by police for incineration by the Drug Enforcement Administration as part of Drug Take Back Day in Vermont.
Last year, police collected 3,405 pounds approaching two tons of prescription drugs during two drug take-back events.
In Rutland, about 100 pounds of pills were boxed up Saturday. Statewide, it was unclear how much the first collection of 2013 yielded, but police reported reduced collections at some locations.
Were not as busy as usual. Normally, we get a lot more than we have, said Barre Police Sgt. Hal Hayden, who reported that only a handful of customers had visited the department during Saturdays collection.
But the reason for the decline, Hayden said, was probably that the Barre department now collects unwanted pharmaceutical drugs on a daily basis.
We have a box here every day, 365 (days), he said.
In Brandon, the other collection point in Rutland County, collections are held only twice a year. But Brandon Police Lt. Rod Pulsifer said the number of people who visited the department Saturday was way down.
We only had about 10 people, he said. Thats very low compared to past years.
Still, those 10 people unloaded what Pulsifer estimated was about 10 pounds of unwanted medications.
Police and health officials have routinely staged collections in recent years as a way of keeping the pharmaceuticals normally flushed down toilets in the past from contaminating water systems.
They also want to keep potentially dangerous and addictive drugs out of the hands of children, drug dealers and others who would abuse them.
C.J. Frankiewicz of Clarendon said after having a wisdom tooth removed and a minor medical procedure in recent years, his doctors prescribed him Oxycodone painkillers which he never used.
Im sure I could make a lot of money selling them on the street, Frankiewicz joked. But Im just happy to have them out of my house.

- Abstract
- Three-dimensional (3D) periodic dielectric structures were recorded in a commercial photoresist SU-8 by exposure to intensity patterns created by five interfering coherent femtosecond Ti: sapphire laser pulses. Periodic symmetry of these patterns was controlled by the choice of mutual convergence angles of the beams as well as their phases. The fabricated structures are mechanically and chemically stable, well-connected frameworks of SU-8 regions in air; the smallest dimensions of SU-8 features are in the sub-micrometre range. The structures exhibit a high degree of long-range order across areas as large as 1 mm in cross-section.

Take Note: A Conversation with the Author of "Beautiful Souls."
"Beautiful Souls," by Eyal Press, tells four stories about people who did what they considered the right thing under extremely trying circumstances. A Swiss border guard smuggled Jews into Switzerland against policy, a Serbian misidentified Croats to save their lives, an Israeli soldier refused to continue to guard what he felt were illegal settlements and a broker blew the whistle on a Ponzi scheme. The book was chosen as the inaugural text for the Penn State Reads initiative.

A hospital stay can be a terrifying experience for a child. So terrifying that 20% of children who survive cancer meet the full clinical diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The good news is research shows children's trauma can be minimized and outcomes can be improved through experiences that reduce stress. Health Specialists focus on the medical needs of a child while Ryan's Case for Smiles helps kids feel safe and loved while they are the most vulnerable, during and after their hospital stay.
Our goal is to help kids feel better to heal better. Ryan's Case for Smiles is one of the few volunteer organizations solely dedicated to helping sick children cope with the stress of their illnesses and injuries. We do this by providing children with unique pillowcases that give them an emotional boost and remind them that they are not defined by their illness. While seemingly simple, a pillowcase provides seven proven stress relievers that enhance the emotional well-being of the children and their families.

Registered: 06/20/08
Posts: 4
Me: "Do you know where the word 'toddler' comes from?"
Loving girlfriend: "Yeah, it's because the kid toddles around."
Me: "A common misconception. It's because the kid has reached the age to drink beer from a 'tod' - a stein."
Loving (though now dubious) girlfriend: "No, it's not."
Me: "Here, let me prove it."
Me: searches Internet high and low for vindication. Finds none.
So, my question to you, dear readers, is this: whence did this crazy idea pop into my head? I don't think I merely dreamt it. I hope you can help me regain my sanity and unbruise my ego.

AHD says nothing about the etymology of toddler but defines it as "one who toddles". About the etymology of toddle it says merely "Origin unknown". Where you got your whack-a-doodle idea I haven't the foggiest. I don't even know where I get my whack-a-doodle ideas.

whack-a-doodle ideas
The science fiction writer Harlan Ellison said he most often asked where he gets his ideas. He tells these folks Schenectady.
I note that tod is a (mainly British) weight term: "1. A unit of weight for wool, especially one equivalent to about 28 pounds (12.7 kilograms). 2. A bushy clump, as of ivy." A-H (link). Cockney rhyming slang has tod 'own' from Tod Sloane. (I am unfamiliar with the tod equals stein of beer; what language is that?) English toddy comes from Hindi tāṛī 'juice of the palmyra tree'. The derivation of toddler from toddle is unproblematic. Maybe toddler comes from German Tod because infants are the death of their parents._________________________

Here's an hypothesis to follow up. Perhaps it comes from Gk. topos, place, via the verbs topple and tottle. The etymological pedigree would then be:
topple becomes tottle, which gives rise to tottler, which would naturally change in pronunciation over time to toddler. And then the verb toddle comes from the noun toddler, not the other way round? Just an idea.
Tot´tle (tǒt´t'l) v. i. 1. To walk in a wavering, unsteady manner; to toddle; to topple.
[imp. & p. p. Tottled (tǒt"t'ld); p. pr. & vb. n. Tottling (tǒt"tlĭng).] Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, published 1913 by C. & G. Merriam Co.
top·ple \ˈtä-pəl\
Etymology:frequentative of top
intransitive verb: to fall from or as if from being top-heavy
transitive verb1: to cause to topple
In any case, whether the above is possible or not, the OP should remember that the woman is always right (even when she's not!).

I say, let's invoke the Etymological Accords of Cornwall and Sandwich (1423), and declare the meaning as Gaius says because it is so much more interesting than just "one who toddles". Thus, henceforth, let it be known far and wide, that the etymology of "toddler" is, "one who drinks from a stein." There. The deed is done.

Since one who drinks enough from a stein will degenerate to toddling, why not?

Stein's an interesting word. It's from German Steinkrug 'stone(ware) jug'. But the jug part got left off and the stone part got in._________________________

I say we Invoke Article 3b of the Etymological Accord of Concord and Sandwich (1423) that states, "Ye shall not make puns with the etymological meanings of words, nor shall ye tolerate the bards that so doeth. The punishment for such shall beeth, one dunking in the River Rhine and a flogging with the Noodle of Worcestershire."

Living in an area with a high deer population means your landscape may be just too tasty for these beautiful creatures to resist. But, before you throw up your hands in gardening defeat, try a combination of the three most popular remedies; deer-resistant plants, deer fencing and deer repellents for the most effective outcome.
If given a choice, deer prefer plants that are bland. In general, they shy away from certain aromatic plants or those plants whose foliage or sap they find irritating. Remember, though, if they're starving, deer will feed on plants they normally avoid. If you're looking for shrubs that are easy to plant, very hardy, and unappealing to deer, try these 3.
With today's smaller yards, more and more people are starting to landscape with vines for vertical color and interest. To keep your neighborhood deer browsing elsewhere, check out these 3 beautiful vines that are off the deer menu.
You don't grow your perennials flowers for anybody's dinner (although day-lily tubers are pretty tasty in salads). To keep deer from turning your garden into a buffet, choose from an assortment of plants they dislike. To get you started, here are 3 perennials deer don't like.
Don't try to use deer-resistant plants as a substitute fence around your property. It won't work. Also, if deer-resistant plants are interspersed in your landscape, they won't keep deer from feeding on the non-resistant ones. Just as if they were at a buffet table, deer will pick and choose what they want to feast on. Instead, use these plants in your landscape as enduring (and, to deer, unappetizing) features.
Enclosing your entire yard with fencing may not be possible, but you can consider putting deer fencing around your vegetable or cutting gardens, back yard, or other such select areas. The most popular type of fencing is a black, polypropylene mesh which can come in a variety of heights generally ranging from 4' - 7.5'. Deer have a problem with depth perception and certain colors. That's why the black color makes it difficult for them to distinguish the top of the fence. Instead of trying to jump over it, they simply move along it, and, with luck, away from your landscape.
There are two common types of repellents: contact repellents which are applied directly to the plants; and area repellents, which are applied in areas you wish to deter deer from visiting. Most repellents contain natural ingredients and provide a smell that turns deer off (and sometimes humans, too). Depending on the time of year, they need to be re-applied to remain effective.
So, if the local deer population has decided that your landscape is their own personal smorgasbord, don't fear. Depending on your situation, and some trial and error, you can use a combination of deer fencing, deer-resistant plants and deer repellents to encourage your 4-legged friends to feast elsewhere, and you can enjoy their beauty from a distance rather than close up.

Diving for dinner
February 13, 2013 —
The common merganser is a fairly large and attractive duck that is frequently encountered in the Upper Delaware region. Many will recognize the deep green head of the male and tufted cinnamon head of the female. Both sexes sport long narrow bills with serrated edges that aid these diving ducks when hunting the small fish, amphibians, mollusks, crustaceans and other invertebrates they prefer.
Also called "sawbills" for this characteristic, common mergansers begin their lives by consuming aquatic insects before switching to fish when nearly two weeks old. They typically range in size from 21 to 28 inches long, with wingspans of approximately 34 inches and weights of 32 to 76 ounces. Their call is described as a low rasping croak.
Pairs are formed in late winter, with breeding occurring along forested lakes and rivers. Nesting takes place in tree cavities or nest boxes lined with down feathers collected from the female's chest. Within a day or two of hatching, the young leave the nest and begin diving to capture their prey.

The Red Sox Catching Situation and Brad Penny
Josh Bard is back on the Red Sox– yes back! He had a short stint with the Red Sox in 2006 when he had 10 passed balls in one month! He was then traded to San Diego in which the Red Sox acquired Doug Mirabelli. Originally, Bard came over from the Indians along with Coco Crisp. I'm sure Kaybee could tell you how "Bard-o" as she calls him, did in San Diego better than I could. And Bigpapi72 had some interesting things to say about the Penny and Bard situations as well.

Elizabeth, I blogged about Bard yesterday – and I'm willing to give him a second chance. The coverage here when he was shipped out and Dougie came back was non-stop. We all saw Mirabelli hop out of the State Police SUV, in his socks, and race into Fenway after changing into his uniform on the ride over from Logan. I think if we can get Tek locked up soon I'll feel MUCH better. I hope you enjoyed your trip to Canada!
Thanks for the shout out.🙂 I just love the Penny deal. If he gets hurt we can put Clay, Masterson, or someone in the forth or fifth spot.

Hoping things work out for you guys and Penny … he's always been a favorite of mine, dating back to when I had to "shadow" him for a week before he made his big league debut. (His grandmother makes the best chocolate pudding).
Hope you had a great time in Canada … I don't ski, I am more the "sit by the fire and drink hot chocolate" (are you sending a trend here?)
Love your resolutions … one suggestion, have you thought about joining the Association for Women in Sports Media? Not sure if they have info on internships for high school students but they'd be a good place to start and to meet others like yourself (and where you see yourself in the future).
Good luck on APUSH and your upcoming year!!!
Well, Josh Bard is back for the Red Sox. I hope you're happy about that! He was in the DL soo many times in '08 so I didn't get to see him play that often.. But he's a good guy! And of course, he also has experience catching 2007 Cy Young pitcher, Jake Peavy🙂 (Thanks for mentioning me and Kaybee!) I'm glad for you and other Boston fans that Josh Bard is going to play with a great team like the Red Sox!
I think getting Josh Bard was a good move. I just hope the Red Sox can play some better ball than the Yankees. I'm excited about the news that the Giants are trying to get Manny, but I don't think it will go through. Even though they should try hard just get their power hitter, and also keep him out of a Dodgers uniform.

Nice little tidbit on Penny and Burnett. Nobody is giving Penny any love because he hails from the NL west but I think he will be at least a ten win pitcher and thats all you really need in that part of the rotation.
thx for answering my question, Elizabeth..
i was talking with a Red Sox fan at work who agreed with that Varitek's defensive calls help pitchers and the Red Sox be a better team.. his pitch calls are right on target.. the problem of course is his hitting – he became about a .200 hitter last year
so, the problem becomes do the Red Sox want to improve their offense with a more potent hitter? or do they want to lose the solid catching skills of Varitek?
i think the Red Sox will resign Varitek, because 1) they're stingy with their prospects as regards trading for a catcher, 2) they prioritize defense, and 3) maybe hope that Varitek's batting was an anomaly last year
you may get your wish, Elizabeth
Thanks for the shout-outs! I really do know a lot about Bardo, so if anyone has any questions, be sure to stop by my blog! I think he will do well for you guys. He will learn from his mistakes, and I hope he has an injury-free year!
Interesting observation about the "over-thinking" on the part of the players you mentioned, Elizabeth. I always hear players say they need to "keep things simple." I'm sure it's easier said than done, especially with all the video they watch of themselves and the coaching they get. On the other hand, Mike Mussina thought everything to death and he won 20 games last year. I guess it depends on the person.
If Penny can stay healthy, I think you guys got a great pickup. Because when he's healthy, he's goooooood. 🙂 And that's a great point on overthinking. I noticed it a little with a few of our pitchers, but I really noticed it this year outside of baseball with Devin Hester of the Chicago Bears with his kick returns. His first two seasons, he ran back sooooooooo many kick returns for touchdowns. This season? None. Thinking can be constructive, but when it starts affecting your game, then it's gotta be fixed!
I like the Brad Penny deal. He gets the chance to prove himself after, and he doesn't have to be the ace of the staff. Plus, the Sox got him cheap, they didn't have to spend $246 million dollars on a pitcher who hasn't proven himself in the postseason, and a overrated power pitcher.
The Brad Penny signing was great for you guys! I wanted him here in Milwaukee but not a whisper!!
Oh well…he has a great track record and is a very nice pickup.
