The way the balls were jumping out of The Joan today, one might have thought that the Chicago Air Show started a day early. That wasn't the case. No. Those were homeruns flying out of the ballpark, not F-14s, and at least four of them flew out in a row: back-to-back-to-back-to-back.
When you say that out loud, it sounds like a bad rap song.
But what Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Alexei Ramirez and Juan Uribe did today, in immediate succession of one another wasn't bad at all. It was truly a thing of beauty.
And it got me thinking…
Rarely do things as delightful as homeruns occur four times in a row (especially in the post-PED era) … so when they do, it surely is magical. What else would I like to see back-to-back-to-back-to-back?
How about:
Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back Saves by the St. Louis Cardinals Bullpen:
Because of the rarity of this now-merely-theoretical possibility, I am beginning to think that the 2008 Cardinals are looking more and more like the 2007 Cardinals. And folks, let me tell ya, that ain't a good thing.
Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back Republican Sex Scandals:
Foot tappin' in an airport bathroom stall, meth dealin' gigolos, married northeastern governors who just happen to dig guys more than their wives… keep 'em comin'!
Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back French Male Olympians Crying After Competition:
Why? Because the only thing better than watching a Frenchman cry is watching four Frenchmen cry — in a row. "Zee wemen… zay sink zee cry-eeng… eez sexy." Ah, the French are such easy targets sometimes.
Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back World Series Titles for a Team NOT Named the Yankees:
It could happen. No. Seriously. It could. Okay… no. You're right.
Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back Pictures of Allison Stokke Posted on RSBS:
Been there, done that. For a real treasure trove, click *here*.
Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back Presidential Terms for the Democratic Party:
FDR did it — by himself — and he was awesome. I'm not saying let's rewrite the Constitution. I'm just saying we could use a good twelve to sixteen years to get some s*** done — for real.
Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back RSBS Posts Where Allen Krause Doesn't Offend a Great Number of People:
Look, in this case, I agree with you, Mr. Krause; but somebody has to stop those Christians from firebombing my house! Enough already!
Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back Evenings Where I DON'T Receive a Soliciting Phone Call from the Number 800-450-9135:
I signed up for one non-profit organization that stands for making the earth a little bit better place and now, every day, non-stop, I get anonymous phone calls from this number asking me to donate to (insert random charity name here). No. I'm through giving my money away. Why do you think I'm still single?
Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back Pow-Wow Sessions with the Staff of Arizona via Slough:
I realize that I'm starting to sound like a real perv here, but trust me: I'm not. I'm interested in his staff because they are smart problem-solvers with real world experience and decorated graduate degrees. That's it. That's the only reason. Oh — and they know how to order Chinese food properly as well. Very important.
And finally…
I leave the last one up to you, dear reader. Leave us with your back-to-back-to-back-to-back dream and we'll see what we can do to make it come true.
I promise. It won't include rhyming.
You can hate me 'cuz I'm a dork… but don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

How about Back-to-back-to-back-to-back restraining orders from my staff.I think you could make that happen.
How about back to back to back to back winning lottery tickets and then we could really make the world a better place Cause money talks ya know!!!!
Back to back to back to back steroid confessions so we can get past this stupid phase once and for all. Barry, Slammin' Sammy, Big Mac, and Rocket, come clean for the good of the game.
Back to back to back to back free drinks from a good looking bartender. I think that would be kind of nice.
Hey, Jeff …
Well, what I have to offer is not exactly: back to back to back to back, but the "four-homerun" game by the Yankees in their 15-6 win over the K.C. Royals at Yankee Stadium on August 17th, I think, was a little more rarer then even the "four-homer" power show by the White Sox [Thome — Konerko — Ramirez — Uribe], that you talk about in your post … The four homers the Yankees hit in the August 17th game, were kind of [part of] a "Homerun Cycle" that produced "ten runs"!!! … Jason Giambi hit a "grand slam" … Alex Rodriguez hit a three-run homerun … Cody Ransom hit a two-run homerun … and, Xavier Nady hit a solo homer … Both four-homerun games are "baseball rarities", and I would take either one in "four straight" games, but my back to back to back to back, "dream" would be for the Yankees to have four, back to back to back to back games in which they hit the "Four Homerun Cycle" in each game !!! … Hey, Jeff, you said it was only a dream !!! … Take care … Jimmy [27NYY] …

Laurence Cummings conducts groundbreaking production in Zurich
Laurence Cummings, one of the world's leading exponents of Handel's music, conducted the premiere of Christoph Marthaler's baroque pasticcio Sale, at the Zurich Opera House on 4 November 2012.
Marthaler is highly regarded as a pioneer of inventive staging and the production also features mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter and the resident orchestra of the Zurich Opera House, La Scintilla.
Sale tells the story of a department store threatened with closure. Amidst the shelves of a once flourishing store, the estranged family shareholders reassemble after decades apart; their connection with the firm has previously only been apparent via paper accounts. Through Handel's music, the family relive the happiness of a golden era of successful sales, countless employees and ringing cash registers. They sink deeper into recollections of the past and share an increasingly heightened sense of loss.
As music director of this controversial yet highly-acclaimed production, Cummings, praised for his "inspired and inspiring" musical direction (The Times), has been described as 'universally excellent' by the Financial Times. Cummings has evidently helped to create a contemporary work which throws new light on Handel's music.

Confessions of a Letter Geek: I can't bear to send out personal mail without adding a bit of embellishment. I've got "meaningful" return address labels (Save the Whales!), and my desk drawer holds more decorative stickers than a preteen girl has in her Hannah Montana Trapper Keeper. When I send out Cousin Bea's birthday card, it's sealed with a nosegay of pansies, and my Ecuadorian pen pal gets stickers of various puppy breeds all over her envelope.
When it comes to stamps, I'm equally choosey. I've been known to make a postal clerk check in the back to see if there really are no more sheets of first-class "sunflower" stamps. So the idea of being able to customize stamps with my choice of photographs is really exciting.
And as a bride organizing her wedding, it should be exciting for you, too. Let's face it—when you're asking people to spend hundreds of dollars on travel expenses and gifts for your wedding, inviting them by email isn't going to cut it. As we've said elsewhere on HereComesTheGuide.com, Evite is fine for bachelor parties, but an etiquette no-no for the Main Event. Besides, your wedding invitations are more than just functional; they're a formal announcement of your intentions. So since you're going to use the U.S. Post Office to send out your invitations, thank-you notes and sundry other correspondence, why not get creative with it?
Thanks to modern technology, you can. Stamps.com was the first company to work with the post office to develop PC Stamps, postage that's customizable with photographs of your choice. Unless you have a preference for reprints of Old Glory or Elvis collectibles, why not make your wedding stationery ultra-personal?
July 2006
"Personalized stamps make any party invitation
or letter so much more special."
How can you use photo stamps? Oh let me (and the clever folks at Stamps.com) count the ways:
I was introduced to the photo stamp concept by a really fun couple I met at a recent bridal fair. The and Petrina are not only super-nice, they're also super-photogenic. They're planning a triple-location wedding: Taipei (for her family), Hawaii (for his) and L.A. (for everybody else)—so they'll probably be ordering lots of "Airmail" photo stamps! Petrina sent me a picture of their first-class photo stamps.
Can you imagine the possibilities?

Racine out at AHS, Chen inBy Neal Goswami
Vermont Press Bureau | August 12,2014MONTPELIER – Agency of Human Services Secretary Doug Racine is being replaced, the Shumlin administration announced Tuesday, as challenges within the agency mount.
According to Shumlin administration officials, current Health Commissioner Harry Chen will replace Racine on an interim basis while a permanent replacement is sought.
"I appreciate Doug's hard work over three and a half years to help Vermont's most vulnerable," Shumlin said in a release.
Shumlin touted the agency's move to a data-driven, results-based planning strategy and a revamped mental health system under Racine's tenure.
But the agency has faced significant challenges, too. Vermont Health Connect, the state's online health insurance marketplace that is overseen by the agency's Department of Vermont Health Access, has struggled and remains hobbled. And The Department for Children and Families has faced scathing criticism following the recent deaths of several children, allegedly at the hands of caregivers.
"This has been a tough job, but now is the right time to start with new leadership to take the Agency of Human Services forward," Shumlin said. "I appreciate Dr. Chen's willingness to get us started on that challenge."
Chen is expected to remain as Interim Secretary of AHS through the end of the year. Deputy Commissioner of Health Tracy Dolan will head the Health Department in his absence.

Mysteryland is billed as "The world's longest-running electronic music festival," and next year the event, which was created in the Netherlands 20 years ago, is having a North American premier in May, and is set to take place at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
The every-night event will take place during Memorial Day weekend from May 23 to May 26. Both Bethel Woods and the Mysteryland promoters are advertising the spectacle on their websites, and it's being treated as a significant development at Bethel Woods.
The website information says, in part, "Promoters from all over the world have been trying for decades to convince the owners of the Bethel Woods site to host large-scale festivals in this special spot. After a year of talks, ID&T (the company that created Mysteryland) has finally won approval for the first U.S. edition of Mysteryland, which is also held annually in the Netherlands and Chile.
"We chose ID&T's Mysteryland brand as the first modern-era festival on the hallowed grounds for its belief in many of the same principles as our own organization—creativity, unity, social responsibility and a focus on the 'experience' of the guest," said Darlene Fedun, CEO of Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
In the Netherlands, the event in August sold 60,000 tickets; the organizers expect the event at Bethel Woods next year will have far fewer participants. Dan Sturm, the supervisor of the Town of Bethel, said Bethel Woods recently began the process of applying for the permits they may need for the event.
Sturm said that, as part of the project, Bethel Woods is seeking a permit to accommodate 7,500 campers. The camping would not take place on the parcels that house the pavilion, but on a separate parcel owned by the organization. Also, he said, the performance will take place not in the pavilion, or on the original Woodstock field, but on another field. He said the number of people at the event itself would not be more than about 20,000.
An American freelance writer who attended the 2012 Mysteryland event in the Netherlands wrote about the experience for a website called Do Androids Dance (doandroidsdance.com). Identified only as Tyler D., he wrote, "With 60,000 people in attendance, 1,700 staff members, 10 stages, and more overlapping talent to leave us all feeling horrible and privileged simultaneously, there was rarely a dull moment from the moment the doors opened to the final fireworks show."
He concluded the article with this paragraph: "All in all, the vibe at this festival was unlike any that I've experience in the States. It seemed like rather than forcing a vibe of peace and love and unity, it was just there. You don't see the American rave styles showing up either—there's no furry boots or light-up gloves, and while I would agree that it's that style that makes our scene special and unique, it was still refreshing to go to a huge festival that felt a little more down to earth."

text: It will get easier over time. I had to stop nursing my first daughter at 10 months due to surgery when the doctor told me I needed to stop. Those first few times I had to hold her and give her a bottle I just kept crying because I was so sad to not be able to connect with her that way. (we were only nursing in the mornings at that point dt full time work and supply issues.) Now she is a happy healthy 4 year old and there are so many other special things that we do together. She knows that her mommy gave her milk and she knows that now her sister gets it, I think just having children see there siblings nurse too lets them know how much you care about them and give them the very best food there is. AS THE previous poster said it is definately okay to be sad and good to talk about your feelings. HUGS

Downtime todayposted by Dark0ne Site NewsHi folks,
Just wanted to drop a quick notice that we're aware that some people have been experiencing down-time on the sites today with error messages saying the sites don't exist. Just wanted to let you know it's not you, it's us. We've been moving servers around recently and reshuffling our name servers and it seems to have gone a bit pear-shaped.
There's nothing you can do (unless you're comfortable with hosts files, which I won't get in to now) except wait and let time heal the wounds. The sites aren't down. Nothing's been lost. And once your ISP reconnects with our name servers and updates itself you'll be back in action.
Sorry about the problems and hope to see you here soon.

Hello sir/madam I have tooth grinding problem since 4 years. 2 months ago I got married, now my wife got scared and feel fear to sleep with me bz of that sound. Pls suggest me the solution.
Is it fine to take ibuprofen for two weeks for tooth pain? I can go to hospital only after two weeks. Please reply.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is the key for enhanced gum and dental health. Tooth erosion is characterised by decay of the outer and inner parts of the teeth. It occurs when certain sugar containing foods such as milk, candy and cakes leave behind residual quantities, thus causing small food particles to get stuck to and remain in the teeth. These are then digested by the bacteria in the mouth and converted to acids. The acids in combination with saliva form a layer called plaque that causes tooth erosion.
To prevent tooth erosion, you can employ these simple methods:
- Regular flossing: Flossing is an often neglected aspect of dental hygiene. Flossing helps in removing food residues stuck between the teeth that your toothbrush cannot clean. Use proper technique while flossing as improper technique can damage your gums.
- Brushing twice a day: You should brush at least twice a day with toothpaste that contains fluoride. If possible, brush regularly after eating a meal.
- Eat well balanced meals: Eat well balanced meals for your gums to receive proper nourishment. Include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet as they are rich in antioxidants and vitamins. These antioxidants and vitamins help maintain overall gum and dental health.
- Fluoridated water: Drink fluoridated water, as it helps in preventing tooth erosion.
- Use Mouthwash regularly: Use an antiseptic mouthwash to keep your mouth bacteria free. Bacteria in your mouth can lead to rapid tooth erosion.
- Rinse your mouth: Rinse your mouth with water after every meal. Rinsing helps in removing food particles from your mouth that may contribute to tooth erosion.
- Avoid junk food: Avoid snacking on junk foods as they contain hidden sugars that can increase your risks of tooth erosion. Avoid sugar based drinks as they can harm your teeth and cause cavities.
- Dental sealants: A sealant is a coating that is applied on the tooth to prevent it from getting affected by plaque. They usually last for 8-10 years after which they need to be replaced.
- Visit the dentist regularly: Visit the dentist on a regular basis for check-ups as any underlying issue that can create potential problems in the future may need to be resolved.

Canker sore is a kind of mouth ulcer or an open and painful sore. It is the most common and prominent type of mouth ulcer, which usually affect lips, inner cheeks or tongue. This a yellow or white spot surrounded by reddish sore. Canker sore can be either complex or simple. The common type of canker sore affects people between 10 to 20. Generally, canker sore develops in people who were previously attacked by it.
The symptoms of canker sores may include:
1. Large sores
2. An outbreak in sores
3. Excruciating pain
4. High fever
5. Diarrhoea
6. Rash
7. Headache
There can be many risk factors for canker sores. It may develop into a severe oral ulcer. Canker sores can also be triggered genetically. There are various causes of canker sores, which may include:
1. Viral infection
2. Stress
3. Hormonal fluctuations
4. Food allergy
5. Menstrual cycle
6. Mineral or vitamin deficiency
7. Immunity system problem
8. Mouth injury
Canker sores can cause difficulties in swallowing and chewing. Most of the canker sores need no treatment; they can heal on their own. There are many ways by which you can prevent canker sores, those may include:
1. Avoid some food items which can cause irritation in your mouth
2. Avoiding citrus foods like - lemon, orange, acidic vegetables and spicy fried foods
3. Avoiding problems through gum chewing
4. Brushing in a slow manner with soft-bristle tooth-brush
5. Brushing at least two times a day, especially after heavy meals
6. Drinking a lot of fluid
However, a canker sore heals on its own, without any treatment. Taking care of your oral health on a regular basis would rescue you from having canker sores. If you keep your mouth clean it would help you fight bacteria. Sometimes pain can become severe, and you might need some medications to cure your canker sores.
There are some ways through which you can treat your canker sore.
1. Antimicrobial mouth wash
2. Antibiotic medicines
3. Corticosteroid ointment
4. Prescribed mouthwash
5. You can gargle with salt and warm water
6. Orabase can also be used to create numbness
Sometimes canker sores can pop up for stress. If stress is the reason for your canker sore then some stress reduction methods like meditation, deep breathing and calming technique will help.
Mouthwashes have become a fad nowadays – some simply rinse their mouth with a mouthwash instead of brushing their teeth, the reason being lack of time. While mouthwashes are effective up to a certain extent, the question is can they replace your brush and tooth paste?
Why is Mouthwash Used?
Mouth washes are used for multiple reasons; to prevent tooth decay, freshen your breath and to minimize plaque. It is also known to reduce gingivitis (gum disease) and plaque that harden on your teeth.
In order to understand the efficacy of mouth wash better, you need to know about the ingredients it is made up of. The basic ingredients are cleansing agents, water, alcohol and flavor causing substances. Certain active ingredients are also added to mouth wash which usually vary from product to product. Some of them are:
Fluoride which prevents decay of the tooth by making it more resistant.
Antimicrobials which reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth that lead to plaque formation in the teeth.
Salts, that have astringent properties, act as deodorizers to prevent bad breath.
Substances that reduce bad breath causing compounds.
Advantages of using a Mouthwash are:
Helps in preventing gum disease: Inflammation of the gums and teeth can occur when plaque causing bacteria are present on the teeth. Mouthwashes that contain antibacterial agents help in reducing these bacteria.
Reduces cavity: Mouthwashes that contain fluoride help in reducing cavities that affect your teeth. Cavities are holes in your teeth which form when bacteria in the teeth cause plaque.
Provides relief from canker sores: Mouth wash provides relief from canker sores by reducing the amount of bacteria present on the affected area.
Prevents pregnancy complications: Certain gum diseases release harmful bacteria in the bloodstream that can stimulate early contractions. Using mouth washes provides safeguard against these bacteria, thus, in turn, protecting your baby.
Disadvantages of a Mouthwash:
May irritate canker sores: Mouthwashes which contain alcohol in high concentrations can irritate canker sores in the mouth.
A risk factor for oral cancer: Certain mouthwashes may contain ingredients which increase the risks of oral cancer. It is therefore important for you to check the ingredients before using it.
The Verdict:
Given that the benefits outweigh the cons, using mouthwash is good for you. You should not substitute brushing or flossing with using a mouthwash, though. Rather, it should complement them. If the mouth wash contains alcohol in decent amounts, then you are good to go.

Show some courageSeptember 04,2014
Show some courage
The recent decision by the Department of Environmental Conservation, written by Commissioner David Mears, is unfortunate and disappointing. That the Wachusett Reservoir of Massachusetts fully protects a buffer zone larger than all of Berlin Pond, for all the same reasons stated in the Citizens to Protect Berlin Pond petition, certainly seems science enough to protect the drinking water source for 20,000 people per day. And there has never been a body of water whose quality has not been diminished once exposed to human contact.
We all know, and to some extent accept, how politics works. Commissioner Mears, Secretary Markowitz and all the officials at the Agency of Natural Resources have jobs that depend on being in the good graces of Gov. Shumlin. There is plenty of campaign money for Shumlins administration from outdoor sports organizations, and little or no money from the people who depend on the cleanliness of Montpeliers water. But it would be nice if politicians like Gov. Shumlin could be courageous enough to step outside this system for just a few minutes, become a national leader and make the obvious, farsighted decision that protects this most threatened and essential resource in the world, for the people of his capital city. Instead he has settled for some short-term political gain and, irresponsibly, decided to allow what has been clean, minimally treated water to gradually, or not so gradually, degrade.

And 2 days ago she was diagnosed with Croup. (My poor sick baby!!!) She is absolutely miserable. Should I just finish this round of Nystatin up and if it doesn't go away then ask for Diflucan? Could the croup be keeping her from fighting off the Thrush? Thanks all!

Philadelphia Phillies (11-6) at Arizona Diamondbacks (7-10)
Kyle Kendrick (0-0, 7.24) vs. Rodrigo Lopez (1-0, 3.50)
Time: 4:10, Chase Field
Weather: Sunny, 87 (Retractable Roof Stadium)
Twitter: @philliesnation
An outbreak of injuries hampering Phillies both old and new. An ace winning over the hearts of fans, as well as every game he pitches, and looking nearly unhittable in the process. Sounds a lot like last year, doesn't it?
The plot from last August is again playing out in the early 2010 season. Of course, some things are different. Some of the cast (Juan Castro, Jose Contreras, Danys Baez) has changed. Oh, and the leading man is Roy Halladay. (Am I ever going to get used to writing that? I don't think so.)
But Halladay and his 0.88 WHIP can go only every five days, meaning other players have to step up, especially when the core of the lineup falls into a slump, as it has for the past week. One of those guys is Kyle Kendrick, who in his last start pitched brilliantly against the Atlanta Braves, allowing only four runs in eight scoreless innings. Kendrick's performance was especially encouraging because the Nationals had scored 11 runs on him in two starts that totaled only 5 2/3 innings.
Against the Braves, Kendrick looked like a completely different pitcher. He mixed his pitches effectively and—most important—kept the ball down in the zone. Unfortunately for him, Ryan Madson allowed a pair of two-out home runs in the ninth inning and Contreras gave up another in the 10th in a historic, are-you-bleeping-me loss. But the game was encouraging if only because it gave Kendrick a foundation to build on.
One thing to watch for in the coming games is when the Phillies lineup comes out of its recent doldrums. In the past few years, cold spells have almost invariably followed explosive stretches like the one to start the season, and then the hits start coming again and the wins start piling up. But considering that today's bizarre starting lineup features three members of the 2005 Seattle Mariners (who finished 69-93), don't count on the offensive tide to change this afternoon.
LINEUP: Gload, Dobbs, Utley, Howard, Werth, Ibanez, Valdez, Ruiz, Kendrick

Why is Victorino out?
Why are Gload and Valdez starting?! Gee whiz.
Gload leading off….and he gets a single up the middle. Very nice.
The natural DOBBBBBBSSS!
Well I think Valdez is starting because of Castro's injury yesterday. No idea why Gload is starting…maybe because Vic has been crap lately and Charlie wanted to try and do something new.
Remember, the key to a good bench is getting guys at bats.
Good point, it's working so far.
Manuel wanted a lefty heavy lineup since the DBacks don't have any.
Beautiful first inning by Kendrick.
Uggh…. you could build a house in the strike zone Lopez is getting.
…I hate Kelly Johnson.
kelly johnson still killing the the phillies…i'm glad we don't gotta face him 18 times a year anymore.
KK doing his best Hamels impersonation…
Where are you, J.B.?
Goodbye Kendrick.
Not that I particularly like Kendrick or think he is any good, he definitely struck out Reynolds twice on that at bat.
So, it's not just Hamels and Madson who fall apart when they make a bad pitch. KK has the affliction as well.
No way the Phils are done with Lopez, I really hope not. The D'backs stink but they are giving us fits!
Another extra base hit. How long Cholly? How much longer will you leave KK in there?
Rally time guys!
Dd kendrick crap his pants manny,,,,,pitching is pathetic
Raul is definitely hitting the ball well…!
He did in the 5th..but it's a run one game
Hooray for Choooch!!
Must be comforting to the Phillies' pitchers that they can give up several HRs and the offense can come back and get even more runs…love it!!!
That "save" by Ryan looked like that glove-save by Brodeur the other night…too quick for the human eye to see. His defense has become remarkable, so any thoughts I had previously of letting him go any time in the near future are gone.
Good job offense!
Can we please get rid of Baez? The guy is friggin terrible.
Yeh, do not know what they wanted with getting Baez during the off season. He was not that great with Baltimore last year either. Really inconsistent.
Kendrick was good for four innings then the sky fell. I agree with EdR that Baez stinks. I wonder how patient we will be with Kendrick. It seems to me that the guy just doesn't have the repertoire to be a starting pitcher.
Yep our bullpen, which we knew last year was a problem is totally fine now. Excellent job getting it fixed there RA.
14 hits for this lousy Arizona team today. Is there anybody besides Halliday who can pitch for the Phils?
it's spelled… HALLADAY you moron
Yeh, but still sounds the same, asshole!
FIRE AMARO. totally over his head.
re: AMARO –still no convincing answer for why we traded Cliff Lee.
D*mn starting rotation could use him NOW, with KK relegated to shore up stinkin' bullpen
but it's spelled incorrectly you stupid, ignorant moron
Just not a good game. Pitching flaws, situational hitting flaws all around. And the ump was kinda erratic. As always, there were one or two guys from the opposition that killed the pitchers. Hopefully, this series will be a wake-up call that elevates this pitching and contact hitting to a new level. It's still April and there's time to fix it. We'll keep our hopes up, and if I'm not mistaken, Doc will be out there next game.
Thank heavens for Halladay. This is going to be a L O N G roadstand. Lots of kinks to work out. Is Ryan Howard's power on vacation?
I miss Brett Myers.
sp need to go deeper than five innings so we dont have to put herndon out in that situation. hes not good enough
wonder when Charlie's first blow up will come
Pitching is atrocious. The B-squad puts up six runs, and it's not enough.
These kinds of performances have to be concerning for another reason: we don't want Doc to throw his arm out because this offense and this bullpen can't do it without him. We all know how much of a rubber arm he's got, but depending on any one player won't cut it over the hundred-plus games remaining. There needs to be more of a team effort. If that means making some moves already, so be it. But again, there's time to correct the gaps.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who becomes unhinged and blows up when the Phils blow a game. I know how crazy we fans can get. It is just very bad for my health to let myself get all worked up. It's hard to be philosophical when the team you love simply slips on bananas and screws up badly. It happens. I cannot help but believe that things will straighten up. Trying hard to be and stay positive.
So what! This is an informal, casual blog. We are not sports reporters writing for a newspaper here. Just because you have a bug up your ass because the Phillies sucked it up in Arizona today and whatever else is wrong in your life does not give you the right to personally insult me. I am going to report this to the people who run Phillies Nation. Add something interesting to the blog. Read the comment policy under Navigate The Nation. Nothing stated in regards to correct spelling.
Gload and Valdez did some good things today – let's not forget it. As was said before, the B-squad didn't get it job when it counted all the time, but at least some of the hits they collected showed that there was a silver lining.
didn't get it done*.
actually… the b-squad coulda got it done..
a big spot was raul not moving jayson over in the 8th i believe it was…
and then valdez singles..
raul moves him over, they score there
and herndon gives up WAAAAAAY too many runners an inning..
I often see words spelled incorrectly on here but I do not mention it to people and make a "pain" out of myself and then insult them. I enjoy what everyone has to offer in their posts.
dude..i'm over it.
Don't worry, MikeB. I've seen a lot of your stuff on here and I like it. If we all keep talking baseball on here, we'll all be fine. Love for the Phils is what we have in common – that's the point of this whole blog.
Absolutely agree, mg52. Go Phils!

Coast to Coast: Space, the Final Frontier
There's only a temporary home page, but my new site SpaceCoastBaseball.com is operational. Please feel free to take a look.
I've had meetings this week with several people regarding the site, including the Brevard County Manatees, the Brewers' affiliate in the Florida State League. The Manatees are already in the playoffs, having won their division's first half. I hope to use August to gear up for covering their post-season with photos and video, similar to what I do with FutureAngels.com.
I also met with the folks at the Cocoa Expo Sports Center, which was at one time the spring training complex for the Houston Astros and later the Florida Marlins. The stadium still has the Marlins' teal color. The new Florida Winter Baseball League will play at Cocoa Expo later this year.
I've also talked briefly with the Gulf Coast League Nationals, D.C.'s version of our Tempe Angels, but need to follow up.
2 Comments
The site I'm sure will look great. I love minor league baseball. I attended a ton of games when I was a kid growing up around South Bend, IN.
If you love minor league bball you should shoot over this coast (I'm in Tampa) and check out the Clearwater Threshers. Beautiful park. They know how to showcase baseball.
Good luck!
Once I get established, I intend to explore more of the FSL and GCL.

JetBlue Airways Adds Fourth Daily Pittsburgh-Boston Non-Stop Flight
PITTSBURGH – Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald today announced that JetBlue Airways has added a fourth daily Pittsburgh-Boston non-stop flight at Pittsburgh International Airport.
"Today's news means that flying from Pittsburgh to Boston is easier than ever. Boston is one of our region's largest business markets and is also a popular destination for those traveling for leisure," said Fitzgerald. "JetBlue has continued to build upon their base in Pittsburgh and has committed to offering additional flights. We look forward to continuing to see them expand at the Pittsburgh International Airport."
The County Executive, along with business leaders and the staff and Board of the Allegheny County Airport Authority have made a strong case to the airline industry to provide more direct flights to and from the Pittsburgh International Airport. As part of that effort, the Authority conducted an economic impact study in 2011 of low cost carriers which demonstrated how lower fares from airlines such as JetBlue have a direct impact on increasing passenger numbers. In turn, those numbers result in a competitive route and enhance the economic activity of the Pittsburgh region through tourism, commerce and more jobs.
"The average fare from Pittsburgh to Boston has dropped by 51 percent and can certainly be credited to JetBlue Airways," said Allegheny County Airport Authority Chairman David Minnotte. "We hope that Pittsburghers will help keep those fares competitive by considering JetBlue for their travel the next time they go to Boston."
The fourth flight will begin on May 1, 2013. Flights can be booked now at www.jetblue.com.

Commission member Herndon Williams said needed are 14 images and commitments by sponsors for the calendar.
Numerous photos and images were reviewed after the meeting.
Williams said commitments by sponsors would be needed by Oct. 10.
A sponsorship is $100, the same as last year. Sponsors also get five free calendars.
Checks should be made out to the Refugio County Historical Society, the entity that does finances for the commission.
Once the calendars have been printed, they will sell for $8 each. The money from the sales are divided between the Refugio County Historical Commission and the Refugio County Historical Society for each entities' projects.
Also, Commissioner Bart Wales announced that he was named the new chairman of the Texas Tropical Trail organization, taking current chairman Nancy Deviney's place.
Deviney will now be treasurer.
He said the next gathering of the Tropical Trail will be in Roma next Tuesday, Sept. 17. Interested individuals and parties should contact Deviney by Friday, Sept. 13, at firstname.lastname@example.com to RSVP.
Wales also said the 100th meeting of the Texas Tropical Trail will feature a visit to the Mission Sin Caja – an authentic Spanish mission – in Live Oak County and the Lonesome Dove Ranch in McMullen County.
The 100th meeting is scheduled for Jan. 21. Participants will meet in Three Rivers and be taken by bus to the mission and the ranch.
And Refugio will host the Texas Tropical Trail gathering on March 18.
"We'll probably go to the St. Dennis Chapel, the old Fagan Ranch House and the Aransas Wildlife Refuge," Wales said.

"You know, once those (injuries) happen, you don't even think about them because you know if you don't have them, you've got to focus in on the guys you have to go out there," Capers said in early December. "As we've talked about many times, we talk in that defensive meeting room, you've got to be ready to step up and I think you've seen it all season. To me, that's the benefit of having that mentality. You can't sit around and invest a lot of time in guys that you're not going to have out there. You've got to focus all your attention on the guys you do have.
"That's what you have to have to be a good football team, and fortunately we've been able to do those things to win the games. The one game we haven't been able to do it on defense was the Giants game (on Nov. 25). Other than that, I think we've been able to make some impact plays to change course (of games).
"They know there's an expectation level with that, that they've got to be not only accountable to themselves but accountable to everybody in that room. So if their number's called, then they owe it to the guy sitting next to them to be ready to go out and do their job."
That's true of the coordinator, too. The biggest area of frustration last year was tackling, as the Packers had 109 missed tackles in 17 games, among the worst in the NFL. This year, they had 80 missed tackles in 18 games, and 27 of them came in their three games against Minnesota and NFL MVP-favorite Adrian Peterson.
"I think that, obviously, it was a glaring need a year ago. You can't play defensive football if you can't tackle. That's where everything has to start," Capers said on Nov. 23. "We weren't very good a year ago. In our offseason study, we talked about, 'What are we going to do to improve it?' It influences the kind of guys you take, too. Some people are termed just 'cover guys' or whatever, but in this day and age, good offenses are going to make everybody on that field tackle and they're going to try to go at your weakest link tackling. You've got to put guys out there that they all can tackle. I think we've made good strides. We're not where we want to be yet but we're a lot better than we were a year ago, I know that.
"I've always believed this: As a coach, if you believe there's a deficiency, then you need to emphasize it in any way that you can because my experience tells me that you normally get what you emphasize."

Pumpkin Gingerbread RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
3.5 2 2
Pumpkin and ginger are so compatible that to use them in one recipe makes this quick bread doubly delicious. This is my favorite bread during the holiday season because these old-fashioned flavors evoke warm memories of times past.
Featured In: Top 10 Gingerbread Recipes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and baking soda. Add the pumpkin, molasses, egg, butter and milk. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then on high for 2 minutes.
- Add the remaining flour; beat on high for 2 minutes. Pour into two greased 4-1/2-in. x 2-1/2-in. x 1-1/2-in. loaf pans. (There will be a small amount of dough in each pan.) Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over batter.
- Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 2 mini loaves.

"Very good...I saw previous reviews that it tasted too much like molasses, so I substituted part of the molasses with honey, but it didn't really taste like gingerbread. Next time I will use the full amount of molasses. But still, a very good pumpkin bread recipe!"
Reviewed Nov. 18, 2009
"The molasses was a little overpowering. I think I was expecting more of a pumpkin/ginger taste but I taste the molasses more than anything. The consistency turned out nicely, though. It was nice and moist."

Political leaders in the Northeast have very different ideas [2] about how to treat coastal properties ravaged by Hurricane Sandy. Some aim to reduce development along exposed coasts while others say let's rebuild. How they proceed could set important precedents for managing rising flood risk along the nation's coasts.
Motivated by concerns about more frequent and intense extreme weather, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo plans to buy back damaged coastal properties [3] from homeowners willing to sell and preserve the land as undeveloped public spaces. Cuomo's plan would use funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which requires that purchased properties not be developed [4].
Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are going in another direction, favoring options that are more likely to keep homes and residents in place, rather than encourage movement away from the shore.
|This beach cabana business in Sea Bright, NJ, was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. Photo by Liz Roll/FEMA
Although Mayor Bloomberg has been outspoken about the serious threats posed by extreme weather and climate change, he has proposed a buy-back initiative that would allow future development on purchased properties [5]. His plan would draw on funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which doesn't make the same stipulations as FEMA about future development. As reported by WNYC [5], Bloomberg and his staff contend that future development could be done safely and that the option for re-development may be attractive for areas with high property values.
Meanwhile, Gov. Christie is encouraging coastal communities to rebuild, offering $10,000 to residents to remain in and repair their homes [6].
It's unclear how communities and individuals will factor in future risk as they rebuild. In January, Gov. Christie endorsed the adoption of revised FEMA flood plain maps [7] for coastal New Jersey. But he backed off his initial endorsement [8] in March, claiming the revised maps are too aggressive in reclassifying properties into higher risk categories. He believes they will be revised again, with fewer properties categorized as high-risk.
Decisions on these matters will be important. Although not final, FEMA's Advisory Base Flood Elevations [9] maps can indicate how homeowners should consider rebuilding, and how these decisions might affect their insurance premiums. Elevating homes can cost tens of thousands of dollars, while premiums can increase by as much as a factor of 10 for changes in the risk categorization. Even properties that are not remapped into a different flood hazard zone could see significant premium increases. The recent flood insurance reauthorization bill, passed in 2012, raises the cap on annual premium increases from 10 percent to 20 percent [10], giving FEMA greater flexibility to adjust rates as risks change.
These issues are hardly confined to the areas struck by Sandy. Coastal populations across the United States continue to grow -- by nearly 35 million people [11] between 1970 and 2010. Coastal shoreline counties account for nearly 40 percent of the country's total population, and tend to be more densely packed than most inland areas.
|Infographics from NOAA's National Coastal Population Report [11]
These trends, combined with projections for rising sea levels and more intense storms, ensure that many families and businesses will continue to be at risk. Barring substantial changes in our land use and infrastructure, future hurricanes, winter storms, and especially high tides (sometimes called king tides [13]) will cause significant damage.
How New York and New Jersey balance the desire to restore damaged coastal communities with the obligation to prevent future disasters may set important precedents for how the rest of the country manages risks arising from coastal flooding, and more generally, extreme weather events.

Feliz Cumpleanos, Leche Mi Amor!
Happy Birthday, Leche My Love
Today, August 11th, is Melky Cabrera's 25th birthday. Melky has come such a long way as a Yankee. I remember back in '05 when he was just a rookie. He was so nervous, and kept dropping balls in the outfield. What a cutie. And now look at him. He is such an important player to this team. I'm going to reminsice about some of my favorite Melky moments.
My most prized card: Melky's rookie card.
When he was just a rookie and was dropping balls, I immediately fell for him. But after that, he got good. I remember on June 6th of 2006, in the 8th inning in a game against the Red Sox, Manny Ramirez hit a ball DEEP to centerfield, and it looked like a home run. But Melky had other ideas. He leapt over the wall, stealing a home run from Manny. This was known as "The Melky Catch," and went down as the most outstanding catch of the season in '06.
"The Melky Catch."
On June 15h of '07 Melky became the second youngest Yankee to hit a walkoff home run, second only to Mickey Mantle. Many more walkoffs followed for Melky, as he leads the team with 3 this year. Melky has been the clutchest Yankee this year, and has proved to be quite a threat from the #9 hole. In my opinion, Melky can bat in many places in the lineup, probably everywhere but 3rd, 4th, or 5th. He is a very versatile player.
A mob ready to greet Melky after a walkoff win.
Melky made Yankee history recently this year. On August 2nd in Chicago, Melky hit for the cycle, the first Yankee to do so since Tony Fernandez (I'm sure you all knew that!). I was so proud of him.
Melky being goofy on the day he hit for the cycle.
Melky always finds a way to make me laugh. On July 24th of this year against the Oakland Athletics, Melky had a typical Melky moment. In the 7th inning, he led off with a single.Then Jeter hit a ball to short, and Orlando Cabrera flipped to second, but a hustling Melky beat it out, giving Jeter a hit! But after being called safe, Melky started losing his balance, and dancing around trying to stay on the base. He fell over, but kept his foot on the bag! He was safe! That had me hysterically laughing for a good 10 minutes.
Another Melky walkoff.
There was another thing this year that was typically Melky. I think it was some time in May. I don't remember the date, or who the Yankees were facing, because it was before I had my blog. But this was funny. Melky hit a foul ball that bounced and hit him in his….uhh…you know where. He winced and fell to the ground, the poor baby was in pain! The trainer had to come out and give him smelling salts. The whole dugout was laughing at him, and I was crying for him! Melky finally recovered, and continued his at-bat. After every pitch, poor little Melky stepped out of the box and jumped up and down, fiddling…uhh…"down there". He wound up getting a hit and reaching base. When he got back into the dugout, his teammates were teasing him.
A random picture of Melky. He looks pumped up!
Whether making a great play, or getting a clutch hit, doing a crazy handshake in the dugout, or just being himself, Melky has become a great player for the Yankees. Melky is my favortite Yankee, because he is a great player with a unique personality. I hope he remains a Yankee for the rest of his career, because I know this team will not be the same without him. Melky, if you ever stumble across my blog and read this, I just want you to know that I think you are amazing in so many ways. I hope the Yankees win for you tonight.
Happy birthday Melky!
This is for you!

That was such a great birthday tribute to Melky! Loved it. It was really fun re-living all those moments in the Melkman's career, including the recent episode where he got hit with the ball "down there" and his teammates were laughing. I'm so glad he wasn't badly hurt, but it was a very funny incident. Good job, Virginia, and happy birthday, Melky!
Melkey has become a real important player for the Yankees. I remember back when he was a rookie, and how all the announcers said he had no potential. You showed em, Melkman. Happy birthday
I have liked watching Melky for a while too. Like you said, he's a goofy guy and that always makes things entertaining. This is a very nice tribute to him, and I wish him a happy birthday as well!
He is definately goofy…but productive. Happy b-day to the Melkman!
Happy birthday Melky. Very nice post. I love him just reading your tribute.
Your efforts to turn me homosexual have been foiled once again, Virginia. It'll take much more than that to bend MY straw.😛
-EJ the Kid From New York
I agree with Jane above, that's sure a wonderful tribute you have written and posted. Melky Cabrera is sure a fun player to watch, and good to know that he's a mainstay for the Yankees, just like the other youngsters Robinson Cano, Brett Gardner, Phil Hughes, and Justin "Joba" Chamberlain. I hope Melky's birthday can bring a good luck charm to the Yankees, and sure enough it does. 7-5 Yanks win over the 'Jays.
Great blogging from Virgina from Cold Spring, New York
Matthew Tang
Melky has definitely been an asset to this team, moreso than I think people were even aware of when he got called up. He's made a couple tremendous catches out there, the one that always sticks in my mind is the one where he robbed Manny of a HR when it was super-late in the game and we were only leading Boston 1-0. Farnsworth was on the mound, I believe.
Great tribute to the birthday boy!
BTW, how about those back-to-back jacks in the game last night? The Yanks sure know how to do dramatics, don't they?
It feels like the Melk man has been playing for the Yankees for soooo long but its only been 2 1/2 years! I remember back in '07 i went to a game in Baltimore and i sat in the first row right next to the left field foul pole (this is when Melky still played left) in fair territory and i had a sign that said "Got Melk?" and everyone in the section was chanting "MELKY, MELKY, MELKY" so he turned around and saw my sign it was pretty cool! i'll never forget that!
*Happy Birthday Melky… Congratulations on playing well enough to start nearly every game. This was a pretty big year for Cabrera – making the lineup, hitting the cycle… I can see him being a Yankee for years to come.

Drawing Class
Heads and Hands in the Norton Simon Museum: Drawing the Head
Date: Friday, November 01, 2013
Time: 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Teacher: Richard Houston
Type: Drawing Class
Discover approaches to drawing the human head and hands with artist Richard Houston. Working from masterworks in the Museum's collections, students explore drawing heads and hands through a series of discussions, demonstrations and exercises.
Drawing the Head
The first class addresses the rudiments of drawing the human head. Working in the Rembrandt galleries, students begin with an investigation of basic proportions, followed by simplified approaches to the construction of the head as a three-dimensional volume.
Meets in Entrance Gallery | All levels of experience are welcome. Each class is $20 ($16 for members), and space is limited to 18 participants. All materials and admission to the galleries on the day of class are included. | Online registration is required. For further information, contact the Education Department at (626) 844-6980.
