Barbara Trojanowski says she only uses metal pans after her glass baking dish shattered while it was sitting on top of a heated oven. Barbara Trojanowski "All of a sudden I heard a bang, I felt it hit the back of my leg. The blood was pouring out all over the place."
Barbara's Achilles tendon was severed. After surgery, she can walk, but doubts she'll be able to golf or dance again. Consumer Reports has analyzed 145 new reports of glassware shattering after its first investigation last December. And it's not just bakeware that's shattering. Andrea Rock Consumer Reports "There were eight reports involving glass bowls and seven involving glass measuring cups. Some shattered when hot water was poured into them. And others shattered in the microwave when used to heat foods, even though they're labeled microwave-safe."
Pyrex and Anchor Hocking glass bakeware are now made of a type of glass called soda lime that has been heat-strengthened. Decades ago they were made of borosilicate. Andrea Rock "Though it's not clear when the switch occurred, the manufacturers say soda lime is less likely to break when dropped or bumped. And they say it's equally resistant to temperature changes."
Consumer Reports laboratory tests compared the two types of glass bakeware. New pans were subjected to extreme heat then put on a wet granite countertop … conditions likely to cause breakage and contrary to the manufacturer's instructions. Ten out of ten times the soda lime bakeware broke. But the borosilicate dishes did not break, though most did after baking at slightly higher temperatures. Andrea Rock "When using glass pans, it's extremely important to follow safety precautions." Among the most important - never place dishes on burners or under broilers and be sure to place hot glassware on dry potholders. Or simply use metal pans in the oven, as Barbara Trojanowski now does.

Got to agree. Baseball is great to listen to. I'd say it's better than watching it because it draws you in, makes you use your imagination, reminds you of the mid-20th century when folks turned on their radio to listen to their favorite team, etc. There's a degree of novelty and Americana involved which is what makes it fun. Besides, in this day and age, you can always see the videos of the big stuff that you had heard on your particular team's website after the game. That's what I always do. Listen to it, then go to Braves.com to see the videos.

It had been a long, long time since anyone had seen Roy Halladay give up a hit. Like 20 days long. On this night, he gave up eight of them, including two home runs to eighth-place batter Cody Ross in the Phillies 4-3 loss to the Giants in Game 1.
Halladay looked nowhere near his no-hit form of October 6, and perhaps this time, the long layoff coupled with the brisk conditions may have led to his demise. Those, however, are excuses, which Roy Halladay will not make and did not make following his somewhat-lackluster showing. His line: seven innings, eight hits, four earned runs, no walks, and seven strikeouts.
"Well, I made some bad pitches. First pitch to Ross I don't think was that bad, but the second one I left the ball over the plate," said Halladay. At least he stuck around for the accountability. Ryan Howard bolted early, missing the media following his 1-for-4, three strikeout-night.
Ross absolutely owns the Phillies in his career. His two bombs to left field were the second and third of this postseason, with the first one a no-hitter-killer in the second inning. To that point, Halladay had a personal 13. 1/3 inning hitless streak -including the regular season finale against the Nationals – snapped on Ross's first homer. His second home run in the fifth inning gave the Giants a 2-1 lead, which they would add to one frame later. His regular season numbers against the Phillies are staggering during his career, which includes 13 of his 86 career home runs. He only added to his resume with this showing.
In the sixth, Halladay unraveled a bit as he allowed three two-out hits in succession, putting two more on the board for San Francisco. Buster Posey led off with a single, followed by a Pat Burrell double to left field. Raul Ibanez appeared to have a beat on it as he jumped against the wall, but dropped it. Posey scored, make it 3-1 Giants. Burrell was replaced by pinch-runner Nate Schierholtz who touched home on a Juan Uribe first-pitch single to center field.
After Ross's first jack, Carlos Ruiz got the crowd back into it almost instantly as he led off the bottom of the second with a home run to right. That home run extended Ruiz's postseason on-base streak to 24 straight games and added to his silly totals during that stretch. In those 24 games, Ruiz is hitting .338 with six doubles, four homers, and 14 RBI to go with a .495 on-base percentage. Tonight, he needed a little help from his friends but didn't quite get enough.
In the bottom half of the sixth inning, Jayson Werth would finally make his presence felt, going to the opposite field with a big two-run home run to cut the Giants lead to one. But they would get no more as Ruiz and Werth were the only Phillies to show up.
Giants starter Tim Lincecum left went seven innings, giving up six hits while walking three. His two blemishes were the home runs to Ruiz and Werth. "The Freak" wasn't freakishly good or unhittable as he allowed several hard hit balls, but he seemed to lock it down when necessary.
Lincecum was aided by poor situational hitting from the Phillies. They finished the night 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position, which on the surface may not seem like much, but against a pitcher like Lincecum, they are big time opportunities gone by the wayside.
Eighth and ninth inning rallies fell short for the Phillies as they stranded a runner on base in each frame. In the eighth, Jimmy Rollins failed yet again in a bit situation, whiffing at heat from Giants closer Brian Wilson. Rollins surely does not look to be the same guy that took this same situation a year ago and led the Phillies to a win. You'll recall in Game 4 of the NLCS, Rollins smoked a gapper off of Jonathan Broxton to send the Phillies to a 3-1 series lead. In this one, he swung right through Wilson's fastball.
In the ninth, Ross Gload and Shane Victorino each struck out with Carlos Ruiz on first base to end what little threat they had going. As a unit, the Phillies left seven men on base, missing several opportunities to overcome the so-so performance from Halladay.
Tomorrow night, they'll get right back at it with a very tough matchup. Jonathan Sanchez, the lefty feaster will go up against Roy Oswalt. It's about as close to a must-win as possible.
Here are some photos from Game 1:
92 Comments
Its not the end of the world.
The series is on now. There went the cushion for the fightins.
Must win sun night now.
Your right Andrew but Cody Ross is a sissy. Always has been and will be.
Howard, Rollins, Ibanez, Victorino all puked tonight. Phils could not put a string together if their life depended upon it.
Halladay was human, the offense was the same as we've seen time and time again, just cannot seem to put together a bunch of hits.
A must win is an understatement.
That's the thing I'm scared of, though… the "must-win" nature of Game 2 –which is the one against that lefty who usually dominates our lineup. We need to somehow get to him, but I gotta say that out of all the matchups that there will be in the series, Game 2 (and probably Game 6) are the least ideal for the Phillies.
I said it before although I did not think it would come right away against our ace – the Phils offense will have a dud game or 2 – thus a long series. Either 6 or 7 games. Now that they beat Doc (with the utility OF Cody Ross, sissy extrodinaire) – this could be sickening.
@ Manny
Agree with you. There is a reason I was big time on telling people why this series wasnt a walk over or steam roller.
The phillies have won these games the last 2 years. It really is time to do it. I think they beat Sanchez. now they have to.
I hate to say this, but this loss is on Halladay.
He wasn't that sharp tonight. He wasn't terrible, but he clearly lost focus after the missed third strike against Burrell. I thought it was a strike, but you can't dwell on that. Halladay got rattled and gave up two more two-out runs that cost the Phils the game.
You've got to buckle down in that spot and I wonder if that wasn't some postseason inexperience he showed there.
Four runs in 7 innings isn't terrible, but you can't let your team fall behind 4-1 against Lincecum.
And, yeah, the offense has been cold. But in this series, against this team, the Phils are going to have to win some games scoring only three runs.
And tonight their ace let them down.
I've been saying from the get go this will be the hardest team to beat. I honestly wouldn't be surprised If the giants do take it.
y would charlie not put valdez on first for ruiz with 1 out in the ninth?? – down by only 1 run with 2 out to go and u obviously need ur absolutely best base runner on first!!! – that may have been the biggest faux pas ive ever seen a major league manager make in a critical playoff situation – any thoughts????
@ keng
I said the same thing.
Guys I watch with didnt get it.
But with 1 out you arent going. with 2 outs you are. I can see the old mans logic. He did put in valdez with 2 outs. In a way I understand.
Gonna give you guys the percentages.
Coming in Giants are 25% to win series
Now they are 45% to win the series. If they win tomorrow it jumps to 80% they win the series.
So even if the phils dont win tomorrow they arent eliminated but it will be tough to overcome.
Gee seems like Andrew typed till he was blue in the face about how this series is problematic. But I had to go through mounds of dimwits telling me it didnt matter who they played. Just tonight had to read about steam rollers and juggernauts. If the phils win this series I agree they steam roll the Yankees or the Rangers. But winning this series isnt going to be easy.
Giants take this in 6. They gave Halladay a little San Francisco treat and he didn't like it. He looked mad, so did all those Philly fans that looked shocked. Cody Ross said, "TAKE THAT BEEEEYATCH" and he did it TWICE!
Giants win series in 6.
If the phils lose tomorrow Ill be in a pissy mood and explain to everyone how Ross and Pat the bat are more of a threat to the Phillies than A Roid and Texiera. Cause it wont be pretty.
But for now I am still in a joyous mood. Phils should win tomorrow and win the series. Its what they do.
Yeah, don't ignore Andrew's predictions. He gets angry if you do. He's always right. Don't believe me? Ask him. He'll tell you right to your face….errr through the computer screen.
Roy really did let us down I didn't expect him to give up 4 runs to the giants…tomrrow is must win we will seeif roy o craps his pants or shuts down this team…if we lose tomorrow this series is pretty much over…..
Cody Ross will win the NLCS MVP. Watch and see.
Dang Andrew….this prediction stuff is pretty fun.
You guys have to admit though that having a rival fan on here talking smack pumps you guys up even more. See, if Philly wins the series than you have an extra motivation to pump your fists and shove it to the faces of rival fans. It makes things a little funner.
If I'm right than it makes it a little more aggravating, I would assume.
For me personaly I was most disappointed tonght in Shane.
Roy did get squeezed but I am not disappointed in him.
It was the second game hes pitched since september 27th.
The layoff was bad.
And here's Bravoturd again. Enjoying the Braves off-season?
I say the Phillies take tomorrow night, two out of three in San Francisco, and the series goes seven, with the Phillies winning at home like they should.
I was calling for Valdez in the sixth and I called Chooch's homer. No way was he letting his BFF Roy hang out there.
I agree with Andrew from waldorf. The five days off in a row really showed on the Phils in this game.
@ Kate
I called the Ruiz homer too . Pinky swear LOL. He is a fast ball hitter and Timmy was getting hit kinda hard the first few innings. And Ruiz is that kind of player.
Charlie isnt yanking Jimmy. I like seeing Valdez in the lineup. I think hes deserved some starts. But its not the way the old man does things.
I didnt think our offense did so bad. This was Lincecum yes we could of capitalize a little bit more. We needed Halladay to pitch a little better. This is going to be a tough serious. We need a momentum swing and we need it now folks.
bacardi – Victorino, Howard, Ibanez and Rollins – no sustainable offense at all. Hopefully, this was our dud – it may not be our last one of this series but a dud none the less.
O was out. If Ibanez holds on, this game is ours.
And Andrew, I'll put a donut to your dollar about tonights game. I say that both Patsy and Ross wont hit Roy Oswalt.
I stepped out when it was 2-1….i get text saying 4-3…Thought it was 4-3 Phils…then i heard it was Giants 4…i was in total Disbelief that they got 4 off DOC…
If Rollins doesn't step up tonight then I'd sit him for a game or two in favor of Valdez. Rollins is supposed to be the spark on this team. It's just like the spark plug on your lawn mower. If it doesn't work …. your lawn mower starts choking or dies so …. you replace it.
Folks, let's talk a few facts. Our offense only scored 6 earned runs in the division series. So you can't assume it's just one game and they're going to bounce back. Second, Oswalt was a deer in the headlights in his start in the division series. Tonight is an absolute must win–what do you think he's going to be like? Third, we do badly against Sanchez. Fourth, Charlie is too loyal to do the right thing and sit Rollins for Valdez. I love the Phillies with all my heart, but I have to look at the facts. It's the only thing that will keep me from ending up devastated. Don't be blind. The Giants are going to win this series in 6 and then beat the Yankees. It doesn't matter what the "breaks" are or the umpire does. We HAVE TO HIT!!!!!
Doc wasn't suffering from "postseason inexperience" as someone above suggested. And he mentioned after the game that the umpire was consistent for BOTH teams. The team …..and the crowd……looked flat last night. Tonight will be different. Oswalt pitches better than his game against the Reds and the Phils scratch out a W.
Sportsphan- if it helps you cope with the stress of the series to say the Giants will win, good for you.
I admit it, I am in minor angst this morning over the loss. But having been through what I have, I understand that sometimes you have to be in pain to survive, and you can never give up on your guys. I know you love the Phillies, and if your way works for you I guess it's okay, but don't push it on me.
My way is "don't stop belivieving" even if we lose tonight and the first game in SF, we STILL have a chance. Remember the Red Sox v Yankees, and the Yankees didn't just win the first three games they dominated them. But the Sox came back and won 4 straight.
This team is 3-1 in the playoffs in 2010. That's .750 baseball. Win 3 out of every four from here on out, and we have a PARADE!!!! Don't stop beliephing!!!!
As Andrew said last night Chuck, It's on now! You gotta believe pal, just gotta believe.
Outplayed. Doc pitched well but left two pitches in to Ross that should have been, and were, clobbered. Lincecum was eminently hittable last night but the offense just failed. As they say, the other team gets paid, too. Plus, both pitchers were getting the everlovin shit squeezed out of them and, yes, an average fielding LF makes that play last night.
Lets get it back tonite.
The Dipsy
I really have no idea how tonights game is gonna pan out. This team will not win if Ryan Howard is striking out on three pitches, if chase utley is not aiming for the gaps, and if Raul Ibanez is dropping baseballs. Had Raul not dropped that baseball, the inning would have been OVER and we could have possibly won 4-3. I really am just not "feeling" it. this offense is so inconsistent and torturing that I just really have no idea which phillies offense will show up tonight. And by the way, CAN WE PLEASE AT LEAST TRY TO MOVE RUNNERS OVER WITH NO OUTS? THANKS!
Phils may heve been outplayed, but is wasn't by more than a speck. The Giants didn't look all that great either, getting a few bloop hits which the Phils didn't. The biggest problem was three Halladay mistakes that somehow got hit: Ross hit two and Burrell hit the other. Lincecum's booboos were mostly hit at fielders. I also don't think an "average" left fielder would have made the catch of Burrell's double, but a slightly better than average one would have. Ibanez is niether.
One has to chalk this one up to nothing in particular. Just one of those games.
Can someone please help me understand what Raul was doing when he did that silly half jump into the wall on Burrell's gapper? After watching the replay multiple times I'm almost positive that he catches that ball without the stupid jump. Anybody else agree?
Cody Ross spelled backwards-
Ssory Doc
Still not to worried about the series. I mean the Giants scored four runs and were aided by Raul ineptitude at the wall. Here is the one thing I am concerned about: Shane and Jimmy: 0-9 with 5 K's. They both look awful.
Also, anyone confused why nobody can Brian Wilson. He throws only outside fastball to both LH and RH. He does not have nasty stuff. This is a guy the Phils should pound.
With that said, kudos to the Giants for taking Game 1, but I still feel like the Phils will take this series.
Does Pat Burrell make that play?? Seriously….people love to get on Raul all the time…even though I've seen him make some pretty spectacular plays in his 2 years here.
He said that he misplayed it…pure and simple. I'll bet that if a similiar situation occurs tonight….he makes the play.
Can't blame the outcome on any one thing. A few mistake pitches by Doc, some squeezing by the ump (for BOTH sides), poor situational hitting.
Put it to rest and come out tonight and beat Sanchez.
Lefty……amazing. How did you figure that out? I'm not down on Raul, but average speed is all you need to make that play, IMO. Its nit picking. LF is a place for bad fielders…so.
The Dipsy
One more thing…
I thank Pat Burrell for his years of service here and for helping the team to a WFC in 2008.
I will take Raul every single time. Misplayed ball last night and all.
"Average SPEED"???
Dipsy, he got to the ball. He just didn't time his jump properly. In fact, he really probably didn't have to jump at all.
The Dipsy- I just googled Cody Ross, and there it was.
Raul's play should never have even happened, Pat was struck out and got another chance.
Both Jimmy and Vic hit much better from the right side, and both will be batting that way against the lefty Sanchez tonight.
We will hit Brian Wilson, he may be slightly better than Broxton, Street, etc. – but not much. We"ll get to him.
Raul's play- It was bound to happen to us sooner or later, every team in this postseason has had someone make a big mistake in the field. It was a better effort than Jay Bruce, or Brooks Conrad made.
The more Bochy trots Wilson out there for more than one inning….the more vulnerable he will be.
Dude sort of reminds me of Randy Myers. Anybody remember that nutcase? Played with army toys and figurines in the bullpen. Gave the manager heart attacks…but was pretty effective though.
Wilson is average and the beard is clownable.
Especially with their dumb manager using him more than 1 inning and getting him over 30 pitches last night. Thats a nice thing the phils have going for themselves tonigiht.
Lose tonight and I will still believe. Lose tongiht and game 3 and its over. Tis isnt the sorry ass yankees the Red Sox got to beat 4 in a row.
I am hoping that some of the arrogance posted here is gone now. Fne to be confident. I still believe the Phillies win the WS. But some of the casual fans guarentees and babble about things like opponents dont matter is one of my pet peeves.
Te Phillies win tonight because they have to and its what they do. Period.
If you check last nights game thread before the game I was preparing people for a loss. I would never predict one but I had a feeling. tonight runs the opposite. Like that game they scored 10 on Johan "the cripple" Santana. the Phils step up in these situations normally. If they dont we have serious problems and probably arent winning this series.
Can't even put the Raul play in the same league with Brooks Conrad's mistakes. And Jay Bruce is a good outfielder. He lost the ball in the lights and the Phils caught a break.
Sh*t happens…
I agree Lefty… I actually like J-roll tonight because he almost hit .300 from the right side this season.. so I'd actually be fine if he stays in the 6th spot.
Actually, I would even consider sitting Rauuuuuuuul and letting Frisco play. Better defense and a righty bat with some pop against a lefty. Frisco vs lefties this season hit .284 with a .901 OPS. (And you guys know how much I like RAUUUUUUUUL… but we gotta get to Sanchez somehow…)
Ideally, I'd have Frisco bat 6th, J-roll 7th tonight.
Manny, I doubt the old man would start Ben F. Just because he would think he was messin with Raul's confidence based on the play at the wall last night. But I get your reasoning.
Andrew, I would not start Valdez. Maybe the Phillies played their best ball in Sept. with him in the eight hole, but the problem with Jimmy on the bench is he can't play third like "rocket arm Wilson" can, if we need to replace Polly. And there isn't anyone else.
Rollins' career numbers vs. Jonathan Sanchez: 1-for-16 with four Ks and no walks.
Sureeee… give him some more at-bats by moving him to leadoff!
/Ends rant
Thats funny.
The old man probably thinks he we lost with rollins not hitting first why not?
Shane owes us. He should be hitting first tonight.
but the old man has a history of things like this working so what am I to say what to do.
Whether third or short, Wilson should play. He proved his worth to this team when things looked the bleakest, and Manuel should not be afraid to use him.
If the Gods of Baseball have annointed Cody Ross the blessed one for the 2010 playoffs, so be it. Pitch around him.
The key for Oswalt tonight is to bring his A-Game and realize that Chooch has nothing BUT A-Game.
I wasn't seriously wanting Jimmy lifted last night, but I have to admit I missed Valdez a little bit.
Like I've been saying to all my friends, we need to make it past the Giants to get to the Yankees or Rangers. I was the only one in my group who wasn't completely shocked by the loss last night.
@ pitching around the Giants 8 hitter
But I am on record also saying Valdez deserves a few starts. Thus far in the playoffs his only start the phillies won.
Someone in the advanced scouting dept. had the book wrong on Cody Ross. No way Chooch/Doc calls for those balls low inside in the zone if he's told not to.
Heads will roll!!! 🙂
"Just say no" to JRoll leading off Cholly, please?
If you want to get JRoll going, slip him to 7th or 8th, get him mad.
I like when Jimmy plays with an edge, when he stakes himself to something, make him angry old man.
In Charlie We Trust.
I am amused at a few young posters here pointing the finger of blame on one or more players on the Phillies team. Some even give the impression of gloom and doom with their comments. Hey, Lincecum pitched a little better than Halladay last night and had a very effective bullpen to back him. Is that really a surprise? It's ironic that an old Phillie killer, Ross combined with the newest Phillie killer, Burrell provided the offensive support.
So it's one game in the best of seven. Manuel is right to express concern for the Phillies' offense. They must step up as a team especially tonight. The offense has been sputtering of late especially with RISP. I have confidence with a veteran like Oswalt to pitch well tonight. Hopefully, the offense kicks it into another gear against a tough lefty in Sanchez. For all intent and purpose, it's a must win tonight. Consider this…over the last 18 years, only three teams that lost Game 1 of the N.L.C.S. have gone on to win the series. At least Lincecum won't be available to pitch. 😉
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Rollins to get going…the guy's been in a steady decline for two years now. I wouldn't bat him 8th to make him mad – I'd bat him 8th because that's where he belongs in this lineup. It really makes me wonder what type of contract offer RAJ will make to Rollins after next season. He can certainly find more cost effective solutions at shortstop.
The bad news is that the Phillies have never won a post season series in which they lost the first game. If they lose today, I'm afraid there won't be another game in CBP until April 2011.
I'm Ted Bell.
Ryan Howard at the Eagles game.
I dont like it. He needs to hit tonight.
My love of Utley and Rollins is known. They are why we win.
But they arent getting younger and have lots of games played at positions that take alot out of you.
People start wrapping your brains around one or both of them leaving.
Like I did with Werth about 2 years ago. Makes it much easier on you.
Kind of an irrelevant post considering whats on the line today but i am just saying.
Ryan Howard should definitely not be a football game right now.
I'm Ted Bell.
@ Ted
Not only is he there. But hes miked up and yucking it up with the announcers.
Stupid. Opens himself up for criticism tonight. If the Phils lose tonight and lets say he strikes out 4 times 2 times with runners on. Its going to be tough.
WTF…. WHY WHY WHY is Howard at the football game? Seriously, WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Is this what you call getting mentally ready for a game?
Should Ryan be locked in in room grinding the handle of his bat until it turns into sawdust? Maybe he's trying to relax? @ Chuck – A LF with average speed doesn't need to take that ball with a run and a jump. An "average" guy… He's there in time and he lifts his glove over his head, and makes the catch in stride. No need for hopping or skipping or whatever that was.
The Dipsy
After his performance in the WS last year and so far this year in the playoffs, I'd think Howard could find better ways to spend his time than appearing on Letterman and attending an Eagles game. It just doesn't look good…
I'm Ted Bell.
I'm with Ted Bell.
There are other ways to relax… Going to an Eagles game and talking to the announcers isn't one. Watch some video, stay home, work out, pray, whatever… but this is unacceptable behavior, imo.
They need to get a new scouting report on cody ross their a reason he's hitting 8th and they need to figure out why I don't want to get beat by their #8 hitter I'm not surprised pat came up big either
The Phillies like it when they are backed into a corner, this is the match up I most feared in the playoffs. Roy 2 has to come out and out pitch Sancheaz tonight end of story. The offense is what it is this year, would like to see Shane bunt, not sac bunt but bunt for a hit with some one first and no outs, even Jayson should be able to bunt for a hit, with one on and no outs, if he gets thrown out at fist at least they move the runner. I always said the time off would hurt Ryan, he is a rhythem hitter and time off hurts him. I know I would be in the minority here but JRoll leading off would not surprise me or upset me. He likes it up there and it is not Vic is setting the world on fire up there. And as much as some of you would like to see Ben Fran in left field Charlie will not do that. Maybe in the WS if they make it and let Raul DH. Charlie is loyal to his players so you will not see any panic moves, and putting JRoll leadoff would not be desperation.
Actually, I LIKE Howard….and any other Phillie that wants to go….at the Eagles game.
Eagles are killing the Falcons….look FIRED UP.
Why wouldn't that be good for the Phillies to witness? How is this "unacceptable behavior."???
I agree wth dipsy in principal.
But why be on the TV? But also what is he supposed to do. Glad hes relaxing. But he needs to hit tonight. Period.
maybe this is better for him than praying. But HIT THE BALL tonight
And we dont care. I guess it matters that they lost last night. but it really shouldnt. If the Phils win last night its a different mindset for the fans. In a way glad the players arent of our mindset.
I would 100% disagree with some of you about Ryan being at the football game. 8 o'clock start what time should he be at the park, even if he is early would be 4pm. So unless he is shaking hands after the game I would not worry. Sitting in the locker room or at home thinking about his game would not help at all. What happens if he goes 4-5 with 4 rbi and a HR tonight would it be ok then that he went to the football game.
Dipsy, he (Raul) said that last night….alluded to the fact that he probably didn't have to climb the wall…or whatever he attempted to do. Same situation tonight….he makes the play….bank on it.
Exactly, shag. Eagles over at 4. He goes across the street and had 4 hours to "Mentally prepare"
Relax, dawgs…
^has 4 hours
Perhaps "unacceptable behavior" is too strong… but I'm not happy at all… Sure, maybe that's his way of relaxing 4 hours before the game… but it just looks bad. I wonder what Raul, Halladay, Utley, Chooch are doing right now… definitely NOT at the Eagles game! (Hope I don't have to eat my words)
And sure, if he gets some timely hits tonight I'll be happy and get over the fact that he was at the football game… but with Sanchez on the mound and his lackluster performance so far, I'm not holding my breath.
This is the playoffs, dammit!
How does it look bad? It's not like he went to Atlantic City after last night's game and is showing up an hour befor game time.
Dude's right ACROSS THE STREET watching a football game. I guarantee you that most of the guys are probably in front of a TV anyway….either at home or in the clubhouse.
I'm just saying, we as fans want to see him getting ready for Game 2 of the freaking NLCS… not making TV appearances… That might be unfair but it is what it is.
If a guy that had an embarrassing WS last season (.174, 13 Ks, and 3 RBIs in garbage time) and is having a lackluster postseason so far in 2010 is cocky enough to yuck it up on game day then more power to him.
BUT, until the point comes when he starts producing like one of the game's highest paid players, I as a fan have the right to question his actions. Do you think Roy Halladay would make himself open to scrutiny like this? That dude is focused on baseball. To me, it looks like Ryan may be focused on his brand name. I'll be waiting for Howard to prove me wrong…I doubt it will be against Jonathan Sanchez tonight.
I'm Ted Bell.
His handlers should have not let him be on TV
Same way as if this team was a last place team and he went on entourage id be pissed.
They win last night and its just a guy at the game. But they lost last night.
I wonder what Ruiz is doing!
Probably watching univision.
I am gonna relax and enjoy today and tonight. They lose tonight then its panic time.
Wilson Valdez isn't the answer!
He's not a good hitter. Period. And that's not a knock on him. He had a great year for us and lord knows we wouldn't be here without his contributions at the plate and especially in the field.
But….Wilson Valdez isn't going to ignite the offense against this pitching staff.
And while Wilson is a great defender, defense isn't our problem right now. Rollins is a gold-glove SS who's making all the plays J-Roll looked pretty good in the field last night. Obviously, he sucks at the plate right now. But Valdez isn't going to fare any better.
Putting Valdez in just replaces one light-hitting, sick-fielding SS for another. It won't help the team. So you're just making change for change sake, which feels like panic, especially when you're benching one of the team leaders with no apparent benefit to the lineup.
If Rollins starts making errors, then maybe we go to Valdez. But right now the Phils need to start hitting.
I think it's about f—ing time we socked it to Jonathon Sanchez. I'm tired of seeing that guy pitch around six walks. Make him pay for his wildness.
It starts to tonight! Go Phils!
Ryan Howard has done enough for me over the years…proved himself…that this doesn't bother me. I really don't think that whether or not he's across the street at the Eagles game will have any negative bearing on his performance tonight. And…as I said earlier…maybe it will actually help to get fired up.
I get it. I want him to do well, too. But if he doesn't tonight I'm not gonna point my finger at him and say, "See. You shouldn't have been at the Eagles game."
Is Ryan across town at a strip club downing Cuervo?
Sheeeesh it's a football game, right next to where he's going anyway.
Ill never get wrapped up in a first baseman. They are supposed to hit.
Insert one of about 20 there and your OK.
I still like Howard.
Last years WS wasnt on him at all. I didnt even remember he was that bad in last years WS. He will win some games in these playoffs for us I hope.
On a lighter note.
Horse walks into a bar.
Bartender says:
why the long face?
Phillies Game 2 lineup: Victorino 8, Utley 4, Polanco 5, Howard 3, Werth 9, Rollins 6, Ibanez 7, Ruiz 2, Oswalt 1.
Glad he didn't put JRoll leadoff
Go Phils- You Gotta Believe
why charlie stick with rollins is crazy…i respect his loyalty,but their comes a time when enough is enough j-roll has done nothing……….
Black dude walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. Bartender says "Hey man, where did you get that?" Parrot says" "Africa. They're millions of em." Rimshot (lovin you Shag).
I don't care that Howard went to the birds game. Probably should have opted not to go on T.V, ya know. I mean, where's the upside with that move?
The Dipsy
No upside. No real downside either. 3 hours til game time. Howard's probably gettin his "game face" right about now…
How's that song go? Que sera sera….whatever will be will be.
I don't care that Howard was hanging out over at the Linc. Sure, he could probably do with some batting practice with that time, but he probably went right over to CBP afterward.
I'll bet being at the Eagles game fires him up anyway.
We take it tonight, then two out of three in San Francisco, and this series goes seven games. The Yankees and Rangers are going at least five now. I don't see a problem with that situation if our bats start lighting it up.
Chooch and Little Roy should be talking about pitching around Cody Ross right now, though. And Big Roy should chime in and tell Little Roy to trust what Chooch is calling.
No question that the Eagles "fired him up".
If it got ME fired up, watching at home once in awhile while doing chores around the house…..it sure as hell fired him up, a competing athlete witnessing the game live and in person.

text: My daughter just threw-up last night for the first time. She threw up a few times, but seems to be all better this morning--gleefully playing with the dog as I write! My husband has had a funny stomach flu the last 2 days, but his symptoms seem a bit more, where she has has maybe 1-2 extra bowel movements and now the throw up. Now I feel a bit queasy--but it might just be the fatigue! I called our doctor at night and got the nurse who said she thought our little one´s stomach might be eliminating the excess food she ate (she ate quite a bit yesterday). So, not quite sure what it is. We were also away from her for the afternoon for the first time, but she was completely fine with the sitter, who she knows well. Anyway...just breastmilk for a while to give her stomach a break? Foods to avoid? Should I keep her home from church this morning? Just a tired mom looking for some friendly feedback.

My Next Minor League Baseball Game
I said awhile back that I wasn't planning on blogging about any more baseball games until June 23rd–when I head to Cincinnati for the Twins-Reds game–but I may have to make an exception for tomorrow's game.
I'd been planning on attending a game during the Durham Bulls 4-game series against the Pawtucket Red Sox since the schedule was first realeased. At the time I was just going for the sole purpose of seeing the top Red Sox' prospects in action, but I never expected things to develop as they have.
In case you haven't heard, Kevin Youkilis is currently rehabbing with the PawSox. He's expected to join back up with Boston as early as this weekend, or as late as next week. Either way, he'll be playing tomorrow when I head out to the ballpark, so I'm pretty excited about that.
Another guy who's had success in the Majors but is currently down with the Bulls is former World Series MVP Hideki Matsui. He had a hard time finding any team to sign him in the offseason but finally was successful a couple weeks ago; as the Tampa Bay Rays picked him up.
There's no timetable for Matsui. The Rays are saying it could be next week, or next month (or never at all?) when they call him up to the big leagues. It all depends on how he does. He has to prove that he can still have an impact for his team.
I'm hoping a bunch of guys on the Pawtucket Red Sox sign autographs because I'll be ready for them. With so many good names currently on the roster this is one of the most star packed teams I'll see all year. Some of the standouts on the team include Daisuke Matsuzaka, Lars Anderson, Jose Iglesias, Ryan Lavarnway and of course, Kevin Youkilis. That's just a few of the many. Feel free to view the entire roster by CLICKING HERE.
I'm really excited about tomorrow's game. It's not that often that there are so many great players in Durham, North Carolina. It's sure to be a fun time.
I was able to get autographs from Kevin Youkilis and PawSox' Hitting Coach (former Brave) Gerald Perry. I'm heading out to the ballpark again today, so I'm planning on posting a recap of Friday's game and tonight's game in the same entry. So check back for that on Monday.
7 Comments
I have been to PawSox games many times at McCoy field in R.I .The team has always been willing to sign autographs including big name players on rehab assignments. Have fun & good luck tomorrow. It should be a blast ! P.S. my 73 year old mom just loves Youk , if you should happen to get an extra anything signed by him I would happily pay you for it as well as the shipping. She does not get out to many games anymore. Either way have a great time Matt !
Hope you get the autographs you want tomorrow. Is this the 300th comment?
Cool! The PawSox do sign from what I've seen when they come to Buffalo. They give out a lot of baseballs an my friend even got batting gloves from Lars Anderson because he was wearing a Red Sox shirt. The PawSox are very nice. You should try for a broken bat again while your there at the PawSox dugout.

Good Grief: European Union Wins Nobel Peace Prize
It looks like the Nobel Prize Committee has been hitting the Juleøl (yule beer) a bit early this year
(Christian Science Monitor) The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded this year's Peace Prize to the European Union, in a nod to its record of building peace and democracy on a continent long roiled by war — and perhaps as a reminder of the need to stay the course in troubled times.
The choice surprised many speculators, who had widely tipped an East European human rights activist or promoter of inter-religious dialogue. Although a candidate for the award in the past, the EU was regarded as less likely this year because of the widening economic crisis among some states in the 27-member economic and political union.
But Thorbjørn Jagland, Norwegian Nobel Committee chairman, told journalists gathered at the Nobel Institute in Oslo that the union and its forerunners deserved the prize for having "contributed over six decades to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy, and human rights in Europe." He said the prize was both recognition of the EU's early role as a peace broker between Germany and France, but also to mark the EU's recent progress in the reconciliation process in the Balkans.
(Tom Chivers) The Nobel Peace Prize this year has been awarded to the European Union. Without wanting to go into whether or not that's a good idea (it seems a bit strange, even to me), does this confirm at last that the prize's organisers have stopped worrying so much about whether the recipients are actually deserving, and instead decided simply to pick people who will annoy Right-wingers?
That's as good an explanation as any other.
I mean, come on. In 2009, Barack Obama while the ink was still wet on his inauguration documents. In 2002, Jimmy Carter ("History's greatest monster!"). Now the EU, even while the Greek public are burning Nazi flags for Angela Merkel's visit. In 2007, Al bloody Gore (thanks ArtificialIntelligence in the comments for reminding me of that one). Next year, will it be George Monbiot? Or possibly me? Do I need to start getting a speech together? "I'd like to thank Antonio Gramsci and the Frankfurt School…"
Does the NPP realize that quite a few EU nations were involved in both Afghanistan and Iraq? Or that France and Britain pushed for and participated in the air attack on Libya? Or that rioting and burning cars is a Muslim seasonal sport in France, and sometimes Germany? That France and Germany were selling banned goods to Saddam Hussein? That there's plenty of anarchist violence in Europe? That there's plenty of anti-Jewish violence in Europe? How about all the violence at sporting events? The continuing rise of Muslim extremism in Europe?
Based on the history of the Nobel Peace Prize, I think we can expect widespread violence with a year or two. Hey, they gave it to Obama who then went on to expand the war in Afghanistan, attack Libya, and use drone strikes on a constant basis.

Update: Global Innovation Exchange building
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 14/12
The site of the future Global Innovation Exchange (GIE) building may look quiet, but Laurier is busy confirming details and putting the build team in place for the new home of the School of Business and Economics and the Department of Mathematics.
The drawings and specifications for the building are being finalized with architects at the firms of Diamond & Schmitt Architects and David Thompson Architect. Recent renderings can be found in the GIE photo gallery.
Lauriers next task is to advertise for contractors to bid on the project.
Our next big focus will involve finding a contractor for the project, says Mark Dettweiler, director of Planning, Design and Construction at Laurier. Were looking for large firms with appropriate bonding and experience.
The project is expected to go to tender in January 2013, and it should be awarded in March. Weather permitting, construction will begin shortly after the contract is in place, with the building expected to open in spring 2015.
Located on University Avenue at Lauriers Waterloo campus, the 215,000-square foot GIE building will feature nine lecture halls, a 1,000-seat auditorium, computer and math labs, meeting rooms, faculty and administrative offices, student club support spaces and a café.
The design was updated earlier this year to convert an open outdoor courtyard into an indoor atrium. It was a significant change that extended the architectural design stage.
The decision was made to provide additional student space, says Dettweiler. Having an indoor atrium rather than an outdoor courtyard also means it can be used year round.
The university is committed to providing regular updates to the Laurier community and Waterloo residents throughout the design and construction period via the GIE project website: www.wlu.ca/gie.
Laurier announced the Campaign Cabinet for the GIE Building Canadas Best Business School" Nov. 8.

No. 1: Give of yourself
The last idea is the gift of "you." Commit to spend an afternoon with dear old Dad. Take him to a baseball game, out for ice cream or for a walk. No matter what, he'll appreciate you setting aside time to spend with him.
Another way to personalize this day is in writing. How does your dad best communicate? How do you best communicate the way you feel? If writing sounds like good option, find a nice card -- or better yet, make one -- and fill it with memories of him, a top 10 list of why you love him or thank him for specific things he's done for you.
Remember, the more specific the better. It may be difficult for you, but this will mean the world to him and it's better than any tangible thing he could have received.
Make it the best Father's Day ever.

June 4, 2001: It's a very big universe out there, and an astronomer's work is never done when it comes to simply counting and cataloging the sheer number of stars in the heavens. Completing a seven-year effort at digitizing the entire sky for a second time, astronomers at the Space Telescope Science Institute and the Osservatorio Astronomico di Torino are releasing the Guide Star Catalog II. This new version, which replaces the historic 1989 catalog, provides important information on nearly one-half billion stars over 20 times as many as the original Guide Star Catalog.See the rest:
The new catalog provides a census of every star in the heavens with luminosities as bright as the 19th magnitude, while the previous catalog only went to the 15th magnitude. (The human eye can see celestial bodies as dim as the sixth magnitude. The very faintest objects ever seen are at 30th magnitude.) For the first time, the catalog is in living color, which provides an invaluable new dimension of stellar information.
The catalog will serve as a bigger and better "roadmap" for the Hubble telescope to use when aiming its Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, which can only look at very faint objects (below the 18th magnitude). Pairs of guide stars are used as reference points in the sky for the telescope to lock onto for stability during observations.
But the catalog also will be an invaluable reference for amateur and professional astronomers to plot sky charts, search for stars that vary in brightness, execute stellar population studies, and perform multi-object spectroscopy.

Williamstown steering committee to meet with Wood BOE
PARKERSBURG – Officials laying the groundwork for a new elementary school in Williamstown will meet with the board of education next week to begin committee work.
Sue Woodward, assistant superintendent of Wood County Schools, said the Williamstown Elementary New School Steering Committee will meet with the board next week. The newly formed committee will provide board members an update and site discussion.
Woodward said the first presentation as a committee is to tell board members a committee has been formed and will be meeting with architects and engineers and the state School Building Authority (SBA).
"They want the board to know they are active and scheduling meetings," Woodward said. "This is their kickoff."
A new Williamstown Elementary is the top priority in the county's comprehensive education facilities plan. Woodward said the building is more than 100 years old and holds classrooms in the basement.
Emergency repairs have been done on the roof, and transmitting enough electricity through the facility to run modern equipment is a hurdle.
The building is not handicapped accessible. Handicapped students who reside in Williamstown have to attend (elementary) school elsewhere.
Costs to build an elementary school would run about $10 million.
The first step in a new school is identifying a suitable building site.
"You don't draw a blueprint of the house until you see the grade of the land," Woodward said.
A new elementary school is going to require 8-10 acres of land. Williamstown Elementary sits on three acres.
Woodward said there is a lot of property around Williamstown, not necessarily inside city limits.
"Is there land in the city someone would be willing to sell?" she asked. "Land that has not been exposed to hazardous material or located under high-tension power lines and is above the floodplain.
"The SBA has a lot of restrictions."
She said officials will have to consider access to allow for a large-scale movement of children and utility availability.
Officials can seek a waiver to keep the school in town, but they must show its value, she said.
Woodward said the steering committee, which includes board president Tim Yeater, seeks to be transparent with the community. It is offering to speak to community groups.
"They plan on offering themselves to Rotary clubs, church groups and senior groups for the long-term benefit of Williamstown Elementary."

"We can't be patting each other on the back with moral victories and things like that," he said. "We're very disappointed, but we can't dwell on it."
Crean believes there may be more than one meeting with Michigan on the horizon. The teams could meet in the Big Ten tournament, and possibly in the NCAA tournament.
"They truly are that good," he said. "They're going to continue to have a great season. Let's hope we can meet at the end of the year, and we're playing for something really big."
NOTES: Michigan was off to its best start in program history. ... It was just the second meeting between the schools with both ranked in the top five. ... Michigan was the first team in the nation to reach 20 wins. ... Indiana's Oladipo went for a dunk at the buzzer and missed. He worried that he might have offended the Wolverines. "It was no disrespect to Michigan," he said. "I apologize to their team, I apologize to their coaching staff."

Winton Capital plans expansion drive
Winton Capital, Europe's fourth-largest hedge fund company, plans to hire up to 100 employees this year, part of an expansion that includes starting five funds and opening offices in New York, Tokyo and Sydney, according to the firm's founder, David Harding.
Harding said in an interview that the investment firm, which has yet to report its 2013 results, had £154 million ($258 million) in net income last year on revenue of £324 million.
Harding appears to be taking a more-central role in the firm he founded in 1997. Last week, Tony Fenner-Leitão, the firm's chief executive for the past year, resigned and Mr. Harding has taken on the chief executive role as well as that of executive chairman.
The hedge fund—one of the pioneers of managed-futures strategies, which employ complex computer models to find trends in global markets—is recruiting sales people, researchers and data analysts, Harding said. It hopes to make further hires in 2015.
Last month, Winton Capital, which manages more than $25 billion in assets, moved into new offices in West London, with 70,000 square feet of space. The building is little more than one-third full. Winton has another UK office in Oxford, as well as offices in Zurich and Hong Kong.
Goldman Group's Petershill fund owns a 9.9% stake.
Winton plans to open the offices in New York, Tokyo and Sydney by the end of this year. They will be staffed by both sales people and researchers.
"To grow, you need to have several things in place: office space, management know-how, money and the will—we now have all those things in place," Harding said.
Winton Capital is also planning five new funds, including two funds targeted at European investors and two mutual funds targeted at US investors. All four of these funds will be vehicles for Winton's long-only equities strategies. The strategy of the fifth fund hasn't been decided. Winton Capital is hoping to offer up even more funds in 2015.
Fenner-Leitão, the departing chief executive, joined Winton Capital in 2008 and became CEO in January 2013. Winton Capital said that Fenner-Leitão decided to relocate to the West Coast of the US for family reasons.
"It is a great shame for Winton that Tony has decided to leave for family reasons," Harding said. "His efforts helped set the platform for our current growth plans."
While managed-futures hedge funds have posted poor recent performance, Winton Capital's flagship $10 billion Winton Futures Fund gained 9.5% net of fees last year, while its long-only Winton Global Equity Fund climbed 29.8%, outperforming the MSCI World Index.

Honestly though, the GBA FE games have already made that "feel" I have for the FE franchise. The way the AMAZING game FE7x is going about it... I don't really like it... because of the established "non-extensive cursing" environment FE has been expressed to me as.
The features are pretty cool anyway... not a fan of the minced up story, the dialogue, or the harsh fake difficulty, but the features are pretty cool :X
There's no way I'm not playing that thing when it gets released though. It's too GOOD. I'll just have to suck it up.
The only thing I care about is theming. If the game sets a theme of "Characters don't curse" and a fan game says "I'm true to the original" but the characters do curse, then it's breaking the theme, and I dislike that.
A single profanity does not necessarily have excessive impact in America. To some, it does; to others, it loses too much impact. Changing it to a "lesser" swear is sacrificing meaning for the sake of censorship and should be avoided.
Incidentally, I hold no opinion on the Alan thing, I never played FE6 but I'd assume a similar dialogue vein to FE7. And "Damn it" is a perfectly acceptable and sensible translation in the theme of the FE6/FE7/FE8 dialogues, therefore that translation would make the most sense to me.

Pedestrain struck in Narrowsburg
A 70-year-old man from New Jersey was struck and seriously injured on July 3 in front of the Narrowsburg Inn on Bridge St. Trooper Timothy Ward of the New York State Police at Narrowsburg said the man, Warren Enker, was flown to West Chester Medical Center after being hit by a truck. Enker reportedly walked into the street from between parked cars.

Ward said on the morning of July 5, the hospital told him Enker was in critical but stable condition.
Common Waters Fund announces $250,000 in grants
MILFORD, PA — The Common Waters Fund recently awarded $250,000 in grants to forest owners in the Upper Delaware River Basin to develop forest management plans and implement sustainable management practices that protect water quality.
The awards were distributed by the Pinchot Institute for Conservation, which is working with many organizations in the Upper Basin to launch and grow the Fund. First round awards support 48 landowners across Monroe, Pike, and Wayne Counties in Pennsylvania; Delaware and Sullivan Counties in New York; and Sussex and Warren Counties in New Jersey.
"These grants to landowners in the Upper Delaware River Basin are an investment in long-term forest health and water quality," said Susan Beecher, Executive Director of the Pike County Conservation District and Upper Basin Coordinator for the Common Waters Fund. "Fifteen million people rely on the Delaware River each day for clean drinking water. The investments we make now to help landowners maintain their forest lands upstream will pay us back in clean water for years to come."
Coordinated by the Pinchot Institute for Conservation, more than two dozen partner organizations participate in the Common Waters initiative, including the Delaware River Basin Commission, county conservation districts and planning departments, the National Park Service, and state forestry agencies
The next application deadline for the Common Waters Fund is August 1, 2011. Fund officials are encouraging landowners and land trusts to check their eligibility at www.commonwatersfund.org [1].
Crematorium is delayed by court actions
MILFORD, PA — The crematorium planned for a property along Route Six outside of Milford is delayed due to several court appeals, two by neighbors of the project and two by Milford funeral director, Kevin Stroyan, who is planning the crematorium.
A group of home-owners of the Martin Subdivision along Route Six, wishing to stop the project, have appealed to the Court of Common Pleas over a decision by Milford Township Planning Commission to grant the project a permitted use permit instead of a conditional use permit which the neighbors say was required.
A second appeal submitted by Stroyan claims that the neighbors' appeal was late and should be dismissed.
A third appeal is aimed by the neighbors at the township's zoning board, challenging its decision to allow the project to begin.
A fourth appeal by Stroyan asks that the opponents secure a bond because of his losses caused by what he claims is a frivolous suit that is delaying the project.
