Poll: Barrett leads Falk in recall primary
Poll director: Barrett, Walker matchup is 'now essentially a tie'
With less than a week until the primary in the Wisconsin gubernatorial recall election, a new Marquette Law School poll shows Tom Barrett leading Kathleen Falk 38 percent to 21 percent.
The poll shows the two other Democrats, Doug La Follette and Kathleen Vinehout, with 8 percent and 6 percent.
In a June general election between Barrett and Republican Gov. Scott Walker, Barrett leads by one percentage point, 47-46, among all registered voters, while Walker leads by one percentage point, 48-47, among likely voters, according to the poll.
Both results are well within the margin of error of the poll. Walker leads former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk 49 percent to 42 percent among registered voters and 49 percent to 43 percent among likely voters.
The Democratic primary margin has widened since the March 22-25 Marquette Law School poll, in which Barrett held 36 percent to Falk's 29 percent with La Follette and Vinehout at 8 percent each.
A significant number of Democratic primary voters are still undecided, 19 percent in the latest poll, up slightly from 17 percent in March. Undecided voters were asked which candidate they lean towards. Including those leaning voters, the primary results become Barrett at 45 percent, Falk at 23 percent, La Follette at 8 percent and Vinehout at 8 percent, with 9 percent still saying they are undecided.
Likelihood of voting makes little difference for the Democratic primary. Among likely voters Barrett has 38 percent to Falk's 20 percent with La Follette at 8 percent and Vinehout at 7 percent.
"Despite Barrett's late entry into the race, he has improved his position both among Democratic primary voters and in the general recall contest against Walker. Barrett trailed Walker by 6 percentage points in January but cut that to two points in March. The contest is now essentially a tie," said Marquette Law School Poll Director Charles Franklin in a news release.
Looking ahead to the November election, the poll shows President Barack Obama leads former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 51 percent to 42 percent, a small change from the 48-43 matchup in March just prior to Romney's win in the Wisconsin Republican primary.

Monitors with big screen diagonals are getting an increasingly larger share of the market, but the 19" sector hasn't stopped to develop yet. New, sometimes very interesting, models are regularly emerging on it because a 19" monitor has a high enough resolution not only for office work but also for home unless the user has particular requirements to the screen size (for example, to watch movies more comfortably) or is limited in his budget. Today, 19" models have a very reasonable price, which is often the decisive shopping factor, because choosing a 17" model instead provides but a small gain in money while the difference in the screen area is significant. Monitors with a diagonal of 20" and longer are more expensive today (but they have been constantly declining in price and are very close to become competitors to 19" models).
Before getting to the tests proper, I want to dwell upon the various image enhancing technologies which are so popular among the manufacturers. I mean NEC's DV Mode, LG's f-Engine, Samsung's MagicBright and MagicColor, ASUS' Splendid, Acer's Empowering Technology, Philips' SmartImage, etc. There is usually a dedicated button on the monitor's front panel to quickly enable this technology and switch through the modes it offers.
The idea of switching between preset modes depending on the current application is very good. Instead of setting the monitor up for the new conditions (for example, you need a much higher brightness for movies and games than for processing text) you can just switch to a preset mode with a few touches of a button. Such modes are also going to be helpful for users who are not much versed in monitor settings and avoid tinkering with them as long as possible.
However, not all of these technologies are really helpful. Why? Because they often affect not only brightness and contrast but also deeper settings of color reproductions like color saturation, gamma curves, etc. The resulting image may look vivid and saturated but its colors are not accurate. What is especially disappointing, some manufacturers propose such modes not only for games and movies but also for viewing photographs. I guess the quality of color reproduction must be the main priority for the latter application.
Such image-enhancing technologies and factory presets can be viewed as falling into two groups. One group comprises those that are not limited to adjusting brightness and contrast but also change saturation of some colors or the gamma value. You can forget about accurate colors when you enable such a mode.
It is just funny at times. Above are the gamma curves recorded in the Photo mode of the BenQ FP222Wa monitor. While every photographer tries to get as accurate colors as possible from his/her monitor (which means that the gamma curves should be as close as possible to the theoretical curve) in order to see photos on the monitor in the same way as they will look when printed out, BenQ thinks photographs should look different, with an unnaturally intensive blue. Light tones of blue just merge into the same color.
When such a preset mode is turned on, you can sometimes see almost all manner of changes in the shape of the gamma curves that are considered defects.
Here are the curves recorded in the Scenery mode of the Splendid technology on an ASUS VW191s monitor I will discuss at length later in this review. The curves go far from each other to start with. Light-green tones merge into white (the right section of the green curve is flat) and darks merge into black (the flat section in the left part of the diagram). There's an S-shaped defect in the middle of the diagram, too.
So if your monitor has such an image-enhancing feature as Splendid, f-Engine, DV-Mode, etc, you should be aware of its effect on the reproduction of colors.
The second group of technologies such as Samsung's MagicBright, Acer's Empowering Technology, Sony's ECO and others only change the brightness and contrast settings without affecting those that concern color reproduction. The color temperature may be adjusted as well, but not always. This approach seems the most reasonable to me. It's only a minimum of monitor settings that is varied between the modes and this should be more helpful for the user.
I don't want to be interpreted as advising you against using those image-enhancing features. I just want you to use them knowingly.
And now we can proceed to the monitors.

Unraveling the Wrath of New York
Forget about Iran and its escalating nuclear capabilities. Pay no attention to Iraq and its still undiscovered weapons of mass destruction. If you wanna start a war, piss off a Yankees fan.
That's exactly what my socially fledgling and oft baseball addled colleague, Mr. Allen Krause, did over the weekend. With this one simple quote…
With the lineup they have at the plate and a ridiculous cast of pitchers, the pennant is theirs to lose. But lose it they will.
…Mr. Krause ignited the unbridled anger of Bombers fans across US America. For example:
Some troll who goes by "kb24" commented:
"Jeff Lung and Allen Krause are f***** a** losers! Have fun when the
Yankees win the World Series a**holes!"
You can reach said troll by emailing him with your own expletive laden rants at email@example.com, the address he uses to log into MLB.com.
rr257 said:
"So, the Yankees will lose again, like they always do? You should
probably follow roller derby, or another sport with a shallow
history…where people who write Blogs don't have to know that the team
they are calling "losers" are the winningest team in sports history."
Hey dude, how'd you know Al loves roller derby? I am quite pleasantly surprised you had the time to investigate this little nugget of fact after your demanding schedule of Erin Andrews stalking. Keep up the good fight!
And then, a guy (I assume it's a guy, or perhaps a three-toed sloth who lives off Monster Energy Drink, ramen noodles and goodnight kisses from Mommy) who goes by Lukepiewalker121 emailed us with this quip of superior baseball knowledge:
"Ha, say what you want about the Yankees choking in past years. We live
in the present not the past. Go cry your butt off when they win the
World Series and A-Rod wins MVP of World Series now that he doesn't
have all the pressure with Teixeira with him . . . . . loser live in
the present not the past!"
Now, now, firstname.lastname@example.com, let's not be so vicious in our ill thought retorts, shall we? First of all, who the hell uses AIM anymore? This ain't 2003, buddy! Join the living! Stop — as you say — LIVING IN THE PAST! Once you take your own advice and stop living in the past, I assume you and and your Yankee-lovin' brethren will kindly stop reminding me and everyone else who has any aural abilities whatsoever that your beloved Bombers are the "winningest team in sports history" because, well, y'see, those 26 trophies are all in the past, pal. Them days is over. Move on. Indeed, Lukepiewalker121, we live in the Yankees-Tend-To-Overpay-Free-Agents-and-Blow-It-In-the-Playoffs-Era; and just in case you haven't noticed, the Yanks have been doing plenty of playoff choking in recent years, which is why my colleague made the brash statement that he did in the first place.
Feel good about this, Yankees fans who hate Allen Krause: Mr. Krause's Detroit Tigers just put the finishing touches on one of baseball's most prolific and grandiose epic fails of all time.
And know that I don't always (or ever) agree with Mr. Krause, but in this case, he makes a valid (albeit sloppy) point. If the Yanks follow their recent history, they're due to disappoint.
So, my dear Yankee fan readers, I will bare the olive branch with this bit of truce:
If the Yankees do win the World Series, I will take Lukepiewalker121's advice and "cry my butt off".
Hate me 'cuz I unravel the reasoning behind the phrase Evil Empire, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right… if ya don't believe me, ask cubluvr1995, the last childish, ranting, wrathful dear reader to bite the proverbial RSBS dust.

great piece. I dunno if I can agree that the Yankees won't win it all, but if they do, it's more proof for a case for salary capping. I was surprised when I looked at a few statistics:
Yankees payroll – 209 million
Mets – 138 million
the difference is more than the lowest two teams combined. COMBINED! What's up with that?
And yes, before all you Yankee fans start with the hating, I'm a Sox fan and our payroll is freakin huge too. Surprised that the Mets and Detroit both had higher tho.
Go SOX!
My favorite bit from Al's Filibuster post:
"There's just something a little off about the Yankees. You can buy all the pieces but you can't buy the chemistry that brings it together. It's like owning a rebuilt Maserati, only it has been reassembled by Jeff."
Classic RSBS snark. I Rofl'd.
Then Jeff gives us:
"Mr. Krause's Detroit Tigers just put the finishing touches on one of baseball's most prolific and grandiose epic fails of all time."
Again, I rofl, with a side of "mao".
You guys crack me the he11 up.
I just feel kind of bad for Sox Hater, who thought we were ragging on him instead. And that's all I'm going to say, since my team is probably about to get its a** handed to it by the Yankees and I don't want to start anymore trouble.
Matt — Thanks for stoppin' by. Wanna talk about wasted payroll? Check out the Cubs' numbers. Yike!
Jonestein — Glad we could deliver. You always put the pressure on us to live up to the reputation. Much obliged, good Sir!
Erin — He knew we weren't aiming at him (though it did take a minute to figure out)… still, probably best you watch what ya say til the ALDS is over. *Fingers crossed*
I can't believe you'd give out 3 of my alias email addresses like that…totally uncalled for…I was just sticking up for those Yankee fans that live in the world of dreams…
believe that, believe the Yankees will win it all…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Jeff, these guys have no clue what they are possibly talking about. You made me laugh by your straight up comebacks, and your funny reading tone you put into the story. Oh Yankees fans…. they don't get it. The team that has the most money, is the team that functions the least best. Who cares about the Regular Season, screw it. The playoffs are when the real men play to their full extent. Bring it baby!!! : ) New post up on Scott Boras, you might shed a tear laughing while reading it. YOUR favorite, whiney baby Sheffield is in it too.
It's funny how Yankees have a selective memory about the postseason.
Like whenever someone brings up their team winning a recent world series (e g last 10 years), the Yankee fan starts talking about how their 26 world series championships are sooooo much better than the 1 or 6 or whatever other number, but if the Yankees are so much better how come they haven't won since 2000? And when the person who's a fan of the Diamondbacks, Angels, Marlins, Red Sox, White Sox, Cardinals, or Phillies says that, the Yankee fan keeps repeating "26!! WE HAVE 26!!"
Why is that, do you know?
And the Yankees aren't the Evil Empire. They're just annoying and idiotic.
Peter — You disguise your ruthlessness so well😉
Ted — Cool man. Will do. You know how much I love Sheff (er… not).
XCICIX — Aren't you IBDB? Still love that name for the blog. Good stuff. I don't know why they all remind us. I'm cool with it as long as in the same breath they don't harp on not living in the past. Just makes sense that way.
Jeff and Allen, always amusing the heck out of me. 🙂 I had a troll once. Makes me feel special to be in the company of RSBS with the trolls. 🙂
PS: I use AIM…just not for an email address. 🙂
Ha. Hey.. I kinda dig Top Ramen noodles ; ) Can't knock the way DJ and ARod performed tonight.
Can we have video of the crying episode? That would be fun…LOL Not that they are going to get past my team, but ya know, just in case ;O)
Jen — Trolls are fun too! Haha. Thanks for being a loyal supporter. *Cap tip
Buz — No ya really can't… and I'm a ramen noodle nut myself (shh, don't tell anyone).
Jenn — I'm sure I could muster one up… but be careful about making predictions😉
Amazing!! Seriously, pissing off Yankee fans now is like a new sport. They take things so literally. Geez, so what if your team has won 26 WS titles? No one cares anymore now because other teams can still beat you. Just hoping they don't get into the World Series now. Looking for Boston to win it again!!
I think I'll pass, except to say that the piece of Allen's comment that pissed me off was (I'm probably paraphrasing): "Somehow they always find a way to lose." Not remotely true.
Jeff.. .got to wondering.. Does the Skip really think he's a model there with that pose? Chuckle. Where's yur shirt brah?? : )
Holly — Only time will tell. The Yanks looked tough last night (except for Jorge, of course).
Jane — I know how ya feel. Al pisses me off all the time. LOL.
Buz — Not sure, but I do know that all he needs is a cig danglin' from the mouth to top it off… he has plenty of time for that nowadays. Hehe.
Hey you managed to piss off a lot of people. Here I've been working on it with subtle ideas and you just take out the big hammer and hit'em good work!
Cob — It's fairly easy once ya get started. Just say something brash and stick to it. The haters will come in droves.
I swear.. you two are probably the only beings on this Earth that can trash the Yanks and not infuriate me. Though you continue to hateeee instead of choosing to embrace the awesomeness that is the interlocking NY, cracking me up while dissing my team is a siick accomplishment ..Kick *** post as usual Jefffy. =D
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
F*@&.. now a** spelt w/ 'z"s are censored. US America suckkkz, lol..
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
Oh.My.God. This is the best post I have ever read on MLBlogs. Ever. I'm loving all your comebacks to the trolls.
I also had a troll on my blog. You know what's really sad about my troll – they were a Red Sox fan like ME. How the heck can you troll another fan's blog? I mean, C'MON.
Anyway… it's clear – I am not worthy to read your blog anymore (but I will)!
Sorry 'bout your Cards, Jeff. I feel terrible for Matt Holliday. That just suckkks. (Will that make it thru, I wonder?)
V — A'ZZ… try that next time. LOL. Don't worry. My Yankee trashing got my Cardinals effed themselves in their latest epic fail (see NLDS Gm 2).
Jen — Keep comin' back! Don't be a stranger. We're all about makin' ya smilez!
Let's review your original post:
"the Yankees will fail and once again A-Rod will fail to deliver in the postseason. You heard it here first."
Would you like ketchup or mustard with that?

JC: Like a Mountie
With today's brief lull before baseball re-emerges in all its fury to make us forget that basketball and hockey even exist and JC's big day coming up tomorrow, it seemed like a perfect time to dig into the vault and bring back a classic. Me, I can't get enough of it.
Happy Easter Saturday or whatever you call today!

I met a crazy Jesus freak last year at Spring Training. He came up to me and we had this amazing conversation:
JesusFreak: "Jesus is coming back."
Me: "He never left Brother."
JF: "Woah, you will be ready when he returns."
The man then went into his Dodge Ram complete with Fully assembled life size crucifix.
I think he was a serial killer.
Love the video.
The Three Bs
"The $200 French Fries."
Is it just me or did the lead singer look like he was dressed as a 80's Tigers fan and the back-up singers were definitely looking like they had the Cubs on their minds… More time and I am sure I could have put glasses on the dude and a olde-english 'D' on his waste coat and he would have looked a little like a younger version of you Al…. hmmmm
Phillies Outside
I'm going to consult with my local tree as soon as I finish rubbing myself down with this rooster. I was raised a Roman Catholic and you've just cost me more $$ in therapy.
I can't resist – but can He hit a curve ball?
Bon Pasqua!
I'm not sure what this basketball thing is you speak of. I'll probably follow hockey a little longer, though, until the Frozen Four is over anyway.
Happy Easter
'Minoring In Baseball'
Interesting lyrics. LOL. And the beat was kind of reggae but kind of not. And didn't the lead singer look like Donnie Osmond? Maybe a little?

Tittie Training Camp!
Michelle Monaghan and Karina Heart
Tittie Training Camp!
Michelle's melons flying upwards and downwards with each bounce are literally what photography was invented for!! Yes, this is a sight for a time capsule! And our DDF cameras capture both gals in the frame at the same time, with Karina jostling her jumbos as she skips rope, and Michelle quaking the molecules of the atmosphere with every shake of her squachies!
The ladies wind down with some drinks from long-stemmed bottles...but wouldn't you know it, most of the liquid ends up on their knockers! In high spirits they pour their drinks over each other. And then it's time for Michelle to skip rope for awhile herself. By the gods, what a wonderful scene, all these huge beautiful tits wet and shiny in the open air! Ah, life is good when you're stacked!!

text: So I don't know if I should be offended or worried, probably neither. But lately when my 22 month old son stops nursing on one side he'll pronounce it "yuck." I think it happens more often with my left side. It hasn't seemed to slow him down any on nursing although it does seem like he'll say it when he's ready to switch - he's developing a rather elaborate ritual for switching sides. At first I ignored it, then I argued the point with him telling him it was yummy, and of course in a lighheated vain I told him not to nurse if it's yucky it's not a big favor for mommy.

Financial Aid
The financial aid program at St. Elizabeth College of Nursing is intended to assist those students who otherwise would be unable to finance their nursing education. More than 90% of students receive some form of financial aid through St. Elizabeth College of Nursing. The College believes the primary responsibility for financing education lies first with the student and his/her family. Financial aid is awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial need assessed by use of a standard financial aid application, currently the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Five thousand people are drawn to this historic park everyday. Many consider the Arizona Memorial a must-see in Hawaii. Staffers give tours every 15 minutes.
A five percent budget cut could change that. Contingency plans include freezing permanent and seasonal staff.
"If this does take place there is a possibility it may be that tours to the Arizona Memorial may be limited," said National Park spokeswoman Eileen Martinez.
That doesn't sit well with veterans.
"I made a six hour flight to come here," said Liam O'Conner.
"It's a wonderful experience. For those of us who have been in the military it gets you in the heart."
Garr Gast is a huge historic park fan and echoed the sentiment:
"It would be sad. It's something that I think that everyone should be able to see those places where men fought and died to make our country free," said Gast, who flew here from New York.
Curtailing hours could have a ripple effect on small businesses.
The National Park Service says there are more than a hundred private tour operators who bring visitors to this center every day.
A watchdog group for the National Park Service cautions that the cuts could translate to a loss of $110 million that could touch every single park across the country.
In some areas, where health and safety may be compromised access to certain areas could be shut off.
Planning documents indicate that at Kaloko Honokohau National Park on the Big Island a freeze on seasonal hiring would affect key fencing maintenance which could block access to trails that effect 500 visitors a day.
There could also be similar impacts to other popular neighbor island attractions like Volcanoes National Park, and at Haleakala on Maui.
But until Congress acts, the contingency plans for all the parks are just that-- a big "what if."
"We will make any information available as soon as we have it," said Martinez.

Grand Valley mourns death of WGVU staff member
Posted on December 20, 2013
Longtime WGVU Public Media staff member Linda Kennedy died December 20 after her battle with cancer. She was 64.
Kennedy served as development coordinator at WGVU and editor of the Showplace Program Guide. She worked for more than two decades for WGVU's four television channels and two radio stations.
"Linda joined WGVU Public Media in 1992 as a receptionist and held a number of positions with the stations, each with increasing responsibility," said Michael Walenta, WGVU general manager. "Linda was always warm and captivating with everyone she met. I will miss her engaging smile, her energetic personality and her passion for WGVU."
Kennedy could be seen on WGVU during pledge time or auction; her mother, daughter and granddaughter have also volunteered.
Prior to her years at WGVU, Kennedy drove her Plymouth Road Runner as a stock class drag racer in the early 1970s at the former Thunderbird Dragway outside Muskegon.

Urotensin II (UII) is a highly potent vasoconstrictor that has been identified as a ligand for the orphan receptor GPR14 which elicits potent vasoconstriction in primates. Intracerebroventricular urotensin II administration produces pressor and tachycardic responses. U-II is localized to the medulla oblongata of the brain and the spinal cord in the central nervous system, but is also found in adrenal glands, kidney and spleen, suggesting neurohormonal or hormonal properties

Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports tweeted just before 1pm eastern time that the Phillies are actively looking to trade Domonic Brown to get starting pitching in return.
Sources: Phillies actively shopping OF Domonic Brown. Looking for controllable starting pitching in return. Idea is to sell high on him.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) December 9, 2013
Not sure I agree with the premise that trading their best offensive player is the best way to fix the problem of the franchise, but it would not shock me if the Phillies were to unload Brown. He certainly has his issues with defense and staying healthy, but if he has 30 home run potential for a team that lacks power, what's the point?
38 Comments
Amaro didn't get to set the market for bad free agent contracts (think overpays of Ibanez, Papelbon and the awful Howard extension) so instead he's trying to trade one of few tradeable assets the team has left. Not to say that a Brown trade wouldn't make sense in some circumstances, but I think we can all rest assured that the worst GM in baseball (history?) won't get a good enough return.
While I agree that trading their best offensive player may not be the best way to fix the franchise, wouldn't this move HAVE TO BE paired with the signing of a FA outfielder (preferably a RH bat) to replace Brown? I'm thinking someone like Shoo or Cruz? If they could get a protectable young starting pitcher for Brown, and get a new RH OF bat via FA, it would make sense, no?
Choo hits and throws LEFT handed by the way
Yes, but they'd be trading a left-hander and gaining a good fielder and high OBP player.
Oops. I had thought he was a switch-hitter.
Dom brown is beyond overrated, last year in my mind was 100 percent a fluke I'm all in for trading him along
Wit his cowboys jersey
The goal must be too increase the average age of the starters to 35+
The Red Sox roster is currently 3 tics older than the Phillies and feeling quite fine, thank you!
The difference is that the Red Sox have the #1 farm in baseball.
The only thing that keeps the Dodgers from being as old as the Phillies are Puig and Rodriguez.
I'd look less at the age of personnel and more at the quality of same.
I'm not opposed to trading Brown, but I have no confidence in Amaro making the decision on what a good return would be. Someday soon we'll have a real GM, and we'll be able to look back and laugh at the Amaro years.
Well, if the idea is to sign an OF free agent like Cruz or Choo, I would say just go with Choo. Cruz's defense is atrocious.
Choo bats lefty. One of the few guys that is controllable for the prime of his career. Brown is 26 years old. The Phillies control him until he is about 30-31. Why would we trade him now? for young starting pitching? i thought that was one of our minor league strengths. This only made sense if we were going ultra young. If thats the case shouldnt we have traded Utley, Ruiz, Lee last season. Not signed Marlon Byrd.
But bc I think I'm smarter then Ruben if you are going to trade him here are some possible destinations.
Pittsburgh – Gerrit Cole or Jamieson Tallon and Gregory Polanco
Oakland – Cespedes and a pitcher
Ed Wade please dont let him do this.
Is his defense really that bad? I feel it gets overstated how bad his defense is. I mean sure he's never gonna win a gold glove but people make it seem like he should already just be a DH.
Also Bob McClure might ruin all of our pitching. Just look at where he is coming from. We should have gone to Oakland and paid Curt Young.
You dont trade young controllable hitting. Pitchers are more likely to break down.
Passan is doing his job, I get that, but I don't find this surprising. The winter meetings are where these things are discussed. That doesn't mean it will happen, and doesn't mean it won't.
The Dodgers are reportedly discussing trading Kemp, the Angels, Trumbo, the Blue Jays, Bautista. There are probably 20-25 all stars in trade dialogue at this very moment. Why? Because if you want to get a truly good return you have to be willing to trade big names in their prime. One or two of the 20-25 will be traded like most years, and a couple writers will be able to claim credit for having it first, as if that has any importance whatsoever.
They're just reporting on the rumors that are out there. It's pretty much what the "hot stove league" is all about. A small percentage of the rumors ever come to fruition, but they keep hundreds of blogs like this one active in the off-season.
I have no problem with "blogs like these" -heck, they're a lot of fun! The guys that write here at PN, and for many of the baseball blogs in this town are really enjoyable writers, and I appreciate their efforts.
I have a problem with rumor's that come from a few well known names like Passan, Heyman, Rosenthal, etc.- that got lucky a few times, so now everyone takes their word for gospel.
IMO- They're just like a bunch of yenta's in a salon, only they actually get paid for this crap.
I doubt they will sign choo or Cruz because both of them will cost a draft pick and the way the offseason has gone so far, we aren't signing anyone that will cost us a pick this year…
At this point we aren't gonna be competitive next year so trade away who you can and hopefully*** get some decent young talent and build toward the future… It's sad to say but it's the truth
If they make the trade and get a pick back, they could do it without losing anything. Not that I'm for or against that, just saying it could happen.
Exactly, and that should be part of the goal, either as part of a Brown trade or another move.
Their first round pick is protected isn't it?
Right, their first round pick is protected, and they lose their second round pick instead.
Yeah schmenk is right, I just get the feeling they are valuing picks this year and aren't going to sign anyone who would cost them a pick…
It's a pretty messy situation that the organization is in right now, and a couple high prices free agents isn't gonna turn this mess around it might put a bandaid on it but in a couple years it'll be the same thing it is now
Hogey, That seems like the logical step. Protect picks at this point.
But in an interview on MLB last night Ruben suggested the opposite- that they were committed to "winning now" and even at the cost of prospects. Perhaps I misunderstood him but he sure didn't sound like someone who was committed to youth even while he was saying those exact words. Too many contradictions in his responses. The only non-contradiction in his statement was that he was building around players like (specifically) Dom Brown so either the rumor about moving Brown is false or Ruben is all over the place for somebody's benefit.
Rubens always been all over the place in my opinion lol
It's nice to know Rube took my idea (at the end of the Papelbon thread) to heart. That was to trade Brown for pitching… oh, and sign the left-handed hitting FA Choo but that last part will undoubtedly be revealed later. I knew RAJ was listening to me and just waiting for a less than dumb idea to come out of my head (it took awhile).
Choo would give us an upgrade in the field (an alleged priority), the 4th highest OBP in MLB and a bona fide lead-off hitter (with power) to boot. He's been a steady performer and still only 31-years-old so a 4-year contract would not be insane.
Choo is going to want the ellsbury contract. You are not going to get him for only 4yrs
You're probably right but if management believes they can win with the current core than it's a moot point whether they pay Choo for four years or forty years. They have to pay the going rate or divest themselves of the core and trade everybody they can move for farm prospects. There is a third choice which is to remain a 60-75 win team forever.
Selling high on Brown is not a bad idea. He had success this year, that is true, but its not a guarantee it will repeat again next year. If we can get some good, young prospects for him then why not.
The Phils should be talking to Bartolo Colon. He's old but he is effective.
30 HR potential?
I'll be surprised if he hits 20 this year. I think he'll hit closer to 16. His batted ball splits from last year show he had an incredibly fluky may in terms of hr/fb%. It's a great idea to sell now, I just don't trust Amaro to get value back.
I disagree, I think he has 30 HR potential for years to come. The big power guys tend to be both lucky (fluky) and streaky. See Justin Upton for example. I also think Brown has an elite arm.
But we do agree that he should be available in trade discussions, he's a good player, but not un-tradeable good.
RAJ will try anything to take the attention away from the Eagles. Doc retires and rumors that they are willing to trade Dom Brown. Well played RAJ.
Ok Dom isnt Ken Griffey Jr out there but he has the tools to improve in the OF. He is a better defender then Manny Ramirez, Matt Holliday, Alfonso Soriano. He can only get better. Having Revere in CF helps Dom out. THe Phillies need to stop messing with this guy. For the first years they yo/yo'd him up and down the minors trying every OF position. Now that he finally played a full season and played well. There is talk about ohhh he might not be "Our Star"
Why not trade Kendrick? Cliff Lee? Take another chance at getting Jimmy to waive his no trade? Anaheim, Arizona, Pittsburgh, Cleveland are all in search for that ace. Not to mention Texas, LA Dodgers, and Boston would jump at the chance if the Phils pick up enough of Lee's contract.
@Jay, I assume the first paragraph is tongue-in-cheek. But they're not trading Lee or asking Rollins to waive his no-trade (as far as we know) because they intend to compete in 2014, as unlikely as that may be.
It's just funny how these two teams go back and forth for the philly spotlight.
Trading lee makes sense if ur giving up brown for young pitching you are basically trying to rebuild. Lee wants to retire after his Phillies contract ends. Why not send him somewhere that he can try to win.
You're not necessarily rebuilding, you're just exchanging one kind of controlled player (OF) for another (pitcher), possibly because you think you can replace the OF through FA or another trade.
But the point is if you truly plan to compete in 2014 (unlikely as it may be), whether Lee gets a ring someday is of very little importance to the FO and most fans, compared to helping this team win.
Yeah I'm still not trading a cheap everyday player for a pitcher who will make 20-30 starts and pitch around 7 innings a game. Unless you have a better position player to take his spot. Nelson Cruz is not worth it he is older and his numbers are inflated after playing in that Texas lineup and don't forget the Performance enhancing. This possible trade reminds me of Cincy trading Josh Hamilton to Texas for Edison volquez. We all know who got the better end of that one.
The Tribe is willing to listen to offers for Masterson.

Operation Plan C
Uh oh. Don't look now, Evil Empire, but the Yankees probably aren't going to be successful in Plan B now that the shirt untucking Brewers have jumped in and made a deal for Zack Greinke. And since the only other arm out there not attached to a ticking time bomb (*ahem* Carlos Zambrano) is Carl Pavano, well, that leaves the Yankees… er… in quite an uncomfortable situation.
Ready to entertain creative alternatives to mend their starting rotation holes, Cashman and company have taken to the teeny bopper concert scene. Indeed, a young arm stuck in the sea of puberty is just ready to make his (or her) debut:
More accurate than Joba. And probably a lot less annoying.
I say go for it.
Hate. Me. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
6 Comments
I never expected the Yankees to go after Greinke, but the Brewers? I thought he was all about playing for a contender. Oh well. Cashman needs a Plan C, D and Z.
I think the entire world was blind sided by this move. Its great for the Central counterpart and it definitely gives a new outlook on the division. Dudes good. The Brew Crew needed to make a splash to avenge last years horrid season and they certainly did.
The Yankees are better off not getting Greinke. He'd be a basket case in NY; he might be a basket case in Milwaukee!!
Jane — Hasn't worked out for the Yanks thus far, but I'm not worried about them. They'll get 'er done.
Matt — I agree… though, as a Cards fan, I wanna be greedy.
Prince — I agree. Gonna be more of the same (pain and suffering) in Milwaukee for him I think.
Jeff, you mentioning Zambrano and Jane going with plan Z, well maybe Z is in the cards, for the Yankees, not the Cards. Who knows what is going to happen. It has been crazy so far.
A friend of mine from St Louis (yes, a Cardinal friend) is coming over to watch the Rose Parade. She has been here before to watch her Cardinals. We will also go to Soup's Grill (Jeff Suppan's restaurant). He has old St Louis stadium seats in the wait area and is nicely decorated with lots of baseball memorabilia. Only been there once back when he was with St Louis before he went to the Brewers. He was very nice then and gave us a nice tour.
Emma — Nice! Have fun and if ya see Supp tell him he's a fan fav in the 'Lou! Always and forever for his 2006 postseason heroics!

Learning from history
Pasadena temple and Jews for Justice to host forum on immigration
By André Coleman 04/25/2013
On the heels of a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision to uphold a lower court's ruling prohibiting law enforcement officials from detaining immigrants indefinitely, the Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center and the Greater Pasadena Jews for Justice will present an evening of learning and discussion on immigration reform beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center, 1434 N. Altadena Drive.
The evening will feature a panel of speakers that includes Angelica Salas, director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, and immigration rights activist Simon Burrow. The panel will be moderated by Janice Markham, co-producer of "Press for Democracy," which airs on Free Speech TV.
"We are very mindful of our history as immigrants and minorities," said Maya Golden-Krasner, co-chair of the Greater Pasadena Jews for Justice. "And we want to start a dialogue to help people understand the issues today."
The forum will also feature Pedro Benitez, a student at Blair International Baccalaureate School who has been attending school under provisions of the DREAM (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) Act, which allows students to obtain conditional permanent residence in the US if they graduate from high school and stay out of trouble with the law.
Last week, a three-judge panel in Pasadena ruled that the government must hold hearings and release hundreds of nonviolent immigrants illegally detained for six months. About 2,000 immigrants have been detained without a hearing since 2011. Since the lower court's ruling last November, 400 of those people have received hearings, and 266 of them have been released according to a story in the Los Angeles Times. Immigrants could be subjected to electronic monitoring until an immigration judge decides their fate.
Golden-Krasner told the Weekly that although she was not aware of the decision, it is the kind of topic she hopes will come up at Tuesday's event.
"We don't know the questions we will be asking our panel yet," said Golden-Krasner. "But that is timely. Hopefully it will come up. We need to talk about how it will impact people at the local level."

Reblogged from David Klinghoffer.
Lurking behind the evolution debate is a question that is smaller than evolution as a whole, having encompassed only an exceedingly brief span of time in the more than 3-billion-year history of life. Yet in emotional terms, for Darwinists and Darwin doubters alike, this question — the mystery of human origins — drives the controversy around Darwinian theory as does no other point of contention.
Intensely personal in a way the bacterial flagellum never will be, it is the subject of an important new book just published by Discovery Institute Press. You will hear a lot about it from us in coming days, including from the book's scientist authors, Ann Gauger, Douglas Axe and Casey Luskin.
Science and Human Origins is a book about science yet its importance lies no less in anthropology. Not anthropology the social-science field, but the ageless enigma of what a man is. Are you a clever animal, or something incomparably other? In his Introduction, John West cites G.K. Chesterton who wrote that, "Man is not merely an evolution but rather a revolution." That frames the subject concisely.

100% Kekfrankos, otherwise known as Blaufrankisch, which is otherwise known as: "Errrrrmmmm….I have no idea how to pronounce that wine/grape…I'll just have a glass of Merlot…"
Immediately upon popping the cork and taking my first sip it reminds me of Cru Beaujolais, but as it opens up quickly in the glass it gets darker and a little earthier than I was expecting, and not in a bad way…
Solid blueberry and plum on the front end, with leather, pencil lead and cedar running all the way through. Dry in the tannins department and certainly begs for food. This is/was my first memorable Hungarian red wine, I do have to say! If you're looking for a wine that's "a little off the beaten path," this isn't it, simply for the fact that the beaten path is about 10 miles behind you with the Bock Kekfrankos…but maybe you've spent too long on that path anyway…
It would be hard to go wrong with bratwurst and/or hamburgers, but also think about grilled lamb, pizza and strong hard cheeses.
Sold as part of a three-pack ($59.95) from mypreferredwines.com

What You'll Need: scriptures, GAK 212/GAB 39: The Sermon on the Mount, GAK 240/GAB 1: Jesus the Christ, house printouts, clear packing tape, scissors, medium size rock, sand (available at craft stores OR substitute white sugar), two pie plates, small cup filled with water.
You can also choose to download the pdf of LESSON 36 for easy printing. If you download, please leave a comment here on what you like about this lesson. Note: GAK vs GAB pictures explained here.
Quote: Neil L. Anderson - "The stories of Jesus shared over and over bring faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strength to the foundation of testimony."
Opening Song: I'm Trying to be Like Jesus (PCS #78)
(show GAK 212/GAB 39: The Sermon on the Mount)
When Jesus was on the earth, He traveled around the land of Jerusalem and taught people how to be happy. He taught them that they should be a good example to the world. He taught them that it was wrong to be angry with or hate anyone, even their enemies. He taught the principles of prayer, forgiveness and kindness.
One day, Jesus was teaching his Apostles. He said that to live with Him in the kingdom of heaven, His disciples needed to learn the gospel and to live it. He then told them a special kind of story, called a PARABLE, which teaches us a lesson by telling a story first and then explaining how the story can help us choose the right. The story he told them is called The Parable of the Wise Man and the Foolish Man.
Jesus told them a story about a Wise (or very smart) Man who built his house upon a strong rock. And then there was a big storm. There was wind and rain and floods, but the house built on the rock was okay because it was built on something so strong.
Then Jesus told them about a Foolish (or not very smart) Man who also built a house, but he built his house on sand. And then there was a big storm. There was wind and rain and floods, and the house built on the sand washed away with the water because it was built on something not strong.
Then Jesus explained the story to them. He said that people who choose to make choices based on the teachings of Jesus will always be safe and strong, because Jesus is like the strong rock. And when our lives become difficult or we face the consequences of our good choices we will be safe and happy. Jesus said that people who choose to make wrong choices and ignore the teachings of Jesus will not be safe. When our lives become difficult or we face the consequences of our bad choices we will not be happy and sometimes we may suffer for our choices.
(show GAK 240/GAB 1: Jesus the Christ)
We have many opportunities to learn the gospel of Jesus Christ. We can show that we have faith that the gospel is true by choosing the right each day. If we do, we will be like the wise man—building our lives upon the solid foundation of the gospel and preparing ourselves to live again with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
Bear your testimony about a specific time in your life when storms raged around you and you were able to overcome because of your testimony in Jesus Christ.

Here on Oahu, a horse rescue shelter is marking its fifth year in operation and is now looking to expand to Colorado.
"I do have my own personal horses but I've got a lot of love to give these guys," said Betina Parker.
Parker has roots planted in both Hawaii and Colorado.
The founder of Equine 808 has responded to close to a hundred calls for help in the short time the horse rescue program has been in place.
"They see an emaciated horse or they see an owner abusing a horse or even help for themselves I have a horse. I don't know what to do with it," Parker said.
The Kunia ranch recently teamed up with the Humane Society of the United States
to host a workshop with law enforcement officers.
"We go over what to do in the field when you responding to a possible case of cruelty or neglect, when to involve a vetinarian, the proper documentation, and protocols that should be followed," said Inga Gibson who heads the HSUS Hawaii Chapter.
"We are getting a lot more calls, and more of an influx of horses too, at one point we were getting one horse a mont," Parker said.
Parker said shelter staff compiled a book with before and after pictures of some of their success stories.
Recovery can take years, but Parker is happy Equine 808 has been able to successfully arrange more than two dozen horse adoptions.
Parker pointed to one horse in particular as she flipped through the pages of the book.
"He is a really patient horse we were able to give riding lessons with him
and he is sponsered by a military familiy who really loves that horse. And these are our donkeys," Parker said.
The feral donkey program is part of a major effort to find homes for hundreds of sterilized Kona nightingales rescued from the Big Island. Sixteen of the donkeys have been sent over to Oahu and have been adopted.
Another five arrive this week. They have been snatched up by ranchers to help with goat herds or to help keep horses company. One pony in particular happens to get along really well with two donkeys.
"We have two up here in Kunia. There are a lot of them in the Waimanalo and Hauula. They are getting around," Parker said.
While the donkey program is ongoing, the shelter's primary mission is still to rehabilitate rescued horses. It's most recent rescue was just last week.
For information about Equine 808, you can call 590-1210.

Hi Mamas.
New here. I am solely breastfeeding my gorgeous daughter (2 months old yesterday). As I did my now 3 yr old son.
I have come down with a nasty flu-like cold thing. I feel like I should continue to bf my daughter, she does not seem sick. But I don't want to breathe my germiness all over her. Is it better or worse to comtinue bf-ing her? Should I pump and have my husband feed her? I have never used formula and would prefer not to.
She has had one bottle of expressed milk and was not a fan of it, she is a little finicky with her latch and evening time breastfeeding so I am hesitant to introduce a bottle again.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Going now to make more weak tea!

The Saudi ConnectionMarch 31,2014While Washingtons eyes are trained on the political, military and humane complexities surrounding Ukraine and Syria, President Obama faces another foreign affairs challenge, the growing and potentially dangerous tensions between the White House and Americas longtime ally in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia.
Obamas visit this weekend to what is essentially the sacred home of Islam has been seriously complicated by his perfectly reasonable quest for a better relationship with Iran, Saudi Arabias biggest rival in the region.
The big question arising out of this situation is just this: Can the United States work out a satisfactory deal with Iran over its nuclear ambitions while simultaneously maintaining its vital alliance with the Saudi political leaders who, by the way, fear that Obama is misreading the tense situation in the Middle East and thus putting their own interests at risk.
Last week an editorial in The Christian Science Monitor suggested that the American president ask his Saudi hosts to answer some key questions, and perhaps the most interesting one it cited is: What is the best type of government for the worlds 1.6 billion Muslims theocracy, secular dictatorship, monarchy, or democracy?
Solving that question would go a long way to ending many of the regions big conflicts, the editorial declared. Mr. Obama visits the region as Saudi Arabia and Egypt have targeted the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group, Turkeys Islamic ruling party is drifting toward authoritarianism, Iran appears to be softening its Islamic Revolution, and political violence in both Syria and Iraq has attracted violent offshoots of Al Qaeda.
Look around the Muslim world, one that is so different than the western world we all readily recognize: Iran is a theocracy, Egypt a secular dictatorship and Saudi Arabia a monarchy, while Turkey and Tunisia are democracies. Unfortunately for those who prefer democracy, Turkeys present political leadership is showing a very clear tendency to disregard some aspects of democracy that are vital to its survival.
Within the Muslim world there are bitter conflicts that must be monitored closely by the United States, for while they may not all have an immediate negative impact on our country, theres always the potential of diplomatic, economic and even military damage to American interests.
Saudi Arabias political leadership recently declared war on all Muslim groups that advocate political Islam and ordered any Saudis fighting in Syria to return home within two weeks.
Any American president in the 21st century will always have a full slate of foreign affairs issues, but Obamas appears to be overflowing right now, with Syrias truly terrible humanitarian crisis commanding the most attention.
Saudi Arabia is in a fight against everything aiming to destabilize the national cohesion and harm Islams moderation, Deputy Premier Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz declared.
Yet the secular legitimacy of Saudi Arabias political leadership depends on support of Islams extremely conservative Wahhabi branch, one that enforces strict social rules, especially on women.
If the Saudis instructed Obama on Muslim affairs, he had to listen politely, but he could have drawn their attention to what many Americans see as Saudi Arabias self-serving hypocrisy. He chose not to, and that probably was the better idea ... for now.
The United States has no authority to instruct other nations on how to govern themselves, but it does have a strong hand to play, and it should be played with vigor when it comes to protecting Americas own interests when these interests, whatever their nature, risk being negatively affected by the behavior of others.
And thats exactly what the Saudis were doing, on their own behalf, when they targeted Muslim groups supporting Islamist politics.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

ZTE Complains That Congress' Blanket Bans Should Also Cover Western Devices Made in China
Jason Mick
October 9, 2012 11:45 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
ZTE claims transparency, yet an FBI investigation revealed it was funneling U.S. parts to iran
In a tersely worded response, ZTE Corp. (
) lashed out at a U.S. House of Representatives'
Intelligence Committee
draft report
[PDF] which
called for a ban
on the Chinese electronics firm's telecommunications equipment and smartphones.
I. ZTE Asks Congress to Target Apple, et al. Too
David Dai Shu, ZTE's director of global public affairs, comments, "It is noteworthy that, after a year-long investigation, the Committee rests its conclusions on a finding that ZTE may not be 'free of state influence.' This finding would apply to any company operating in China. The Committee has not challenged ZTE's fitness to serve the US market based on any pattern of unethical or illegal behavior."
ZTE describes itself as "China's most transparent, independent, globally focused, publicly traded telecom company", arguing it "set an unprecedented standard for cooperation by any Chinese company with a US congressional inquiry."
Mr. Dai Shu adds, "ZTE recognizes and fully respects the Committee's obligation to protect US national security. ZTE believes the Committee focused its examination too narrowly on vendor locations not on equipment security. The Committee omitted the Western vendors and their Chinese manufacturing partners, which provide most of the US equipment now in use. The Committee also overlooked the opportunity to advance universal application of the Trusted Delivery Model which protects critical telecom networks on a vendor-neutral basis."
ZTE points out that the iPhone and other "U.S." devices are also made in China, and, in theory, equally at risk. It says if its products should be banned, so should Apple,
et al.
He argues, "Particularly given the severity of the Committee's recommendations, ZTE recommends that the Committee's investigation be extended to include every company making equipment in China, including the Western vendors. That is the only way to truly protect US equipment and US national security. National security experts agree that a Trusted Delivery Model will strengthen national security. In fact, major US carriers are increasingly requiring Trusted Delivery Model in their contracts."
Indeed, it does seem a bit odd in the grand scheme of things that ZTE and Huawei Technologies Comp. (
) were scrutinized so closely and are facing sales bans, while other companies like Apple, Inc. (
) -- who
contract their device manufacturing to Chinese electronics manufacturers
-- received no scrutiny.
ZTE does make a compelling argument. If the panel is arguing that large Chinese manufacturers can be coerced by the Chinese government to including hidden spying features in their products, why couldn't Foxconn -- Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd.'s (
) massive Chinese manufacturing subsidiary -- put the same kind of spying features inside iPhones or other U.S.-designed smartphones.
II. ZTE's Iran Secrets
However, ZTE may not be quite as transparent as it says. The company is in a difficult spot as it insists on doing business both with the U.S. and Iran. But U.S. trade laws tightly regulate what U.S. made products can be sent to nations viewed as hostile -- and that includes Iran.
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations
is currently
conducting a criminal probe
into whether ZTE sold U.S.-made Cisco Systems, Inc. (
) telecommunications equipment to Iran.
that a July 2011 ZTE parts list clearly lists several Cisco switches as being transferred to Telecommunication Co of Iran (TCI) -- a criminal violation of U.S. trade laws.
The probe is still shaking down, and it may lead to charges for some of ZTE's U.S. employees. In the wake of the Iran incident, Cisco cut ties with ZTE.
ZTE is accused of funneling electronics to Iran. [Image Source: Reuters]
The Iran controversy adds a tricky wrinkle to the ZTE debate. ZTE certainly does seem to have behaved less-than-honestly, according to reports, trying to obfuscate the fact that it was funneling (intentionally or unintentionally) small quantities of U.S. telecommunications components to Iran.
On the one hand, the Iran controversy and the question of Chinese spying are two separate issues. On the other hand, the Iran controversy could be indicative of general opportunism and dishonesty at ZTE, which could lead to the kind of spying Congress is concerned about. As former U.S. President George W. Bush
, "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
ZTE on BusinessWire
"We basically took a look at this situation and said, this is bullshit." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng's take on patent troll Soverain

Whew! SO Happ-Y!
Relief washed over me as I read the news that Gary Sheffield is NOT coming to Philly. Whew! Instead, he will be hanging with our rival New York Mets and frankly, that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :O) For various reasons I mentioned earlier this week, I was not happy about the prospects of the problem-child Sheffield joining our currently relaxed and serene Phillies clubhouse. Sheffield is at best a distraction and at worst the destroyer of all things peaceful; he should fit right in with the Mets ;O) You have to wonder though; did the Phillies fake interest in Sheffield just to get the Mets to take him? Hmmmm…
I am also Happ-Y today because JA Happ has made the 25-man roster as a relief pitcher; the boy pitched his butt off this spring and deserved a spot. Jack Taschner, recently acquired from the Giants, will fill the last bullpen spot. That means there is no room left at the inn for Gary Majewski, who will start the year in the minors.
The Phillies are currently in the 3rd inning against the Rays in pre-season action; score is 1-0, Rays, thanks to a
Pat Burrell RBI single. The Phillies honored Burrell's previous 9-year run with the Phillies today by handing out a commemorative Burrell photo to all fans in attendance and they also showed a Burrell tribute video before the start of the game. I have yet to see the video, but will try to get my hands on it eventually. Nice move by the Phils all around. Burrell will also be in attendance on Wednesday for the World Series Ring Ceremony!
There is one game left in this On Deck Series tomorrow afternoon at 1:05pm and then, it is on to the real thing Sunday night!

Saw the news about Sheffield earlier, figured you would be very happy.🙂 Hopefully he won't waste any time and get started right away with being a distraction!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I was surprised that the Mets picked up Sheff. It will be interesting to see how that all works out.

So here's my vegetarian pasta dish. Spinach happens to be one of the very few vegetables that I enjoy eating. The sun-dried tomatoes added a lot of wonderful flavours to the dish. I would suggest serving it with chili flakes!
Ingredients: Serves 3
- 220g Linguine
- 300g Chinese Spinach - washed, drained and tore into pieces
- 3/4 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes - washed and drained
- 1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) - don't worry, you won't be adding all
- 2 tbs Fried Garlic
- 1/2 Lemon's Juice
- 1/2 cup Pine Nuts - toasted
- 1 spoon Knorr Chicken Powder
- 1 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Salt
- Soak washed sun dried tomatoes in 1 cup of EVOO for about 30 mins.
- After soaked, remove tomatoes from EVOO and chop into tiny pieces. Place chopped sun-dried tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.
- Heat up a bit of oil in a pan, add spinach and cook until wilted and dry. Place this in the same mixing bowl with chopped sun dried tomatoes.
- In a pot, cook linguine as instructed on the package. Drain.
- Place drained linguine in the mixing bowl.
- Add 2-3 tbs of EVOO that was used to soak the sun-dried tomatoes, fried garlic, lemon juice, chicken powder, black pepper and pine nuts. Toss to mix.
- Add salt to taste.
I am sending this over to Katie of Thyme for Cooking who is hosting this week's Presto Pasta Night.
