Start your morning with the most important meal of the day—vegan breakfast! Cereal fans will have trouble choosing from all the vegan varieties. Add soy milk and a sliced banana, and you're good to go. For something a little heartier, try hot cereal—many of them are vegan. Or grab a granola bar as you dash out the door.

"Gelatin, which is used in some of our products to provide texture, is derived from either beef or pork. Products containing pork gelatin include Kellogg cereal products with marshmallow additives (i.e., Kellogg's® Marshmallow Froot Loops cereal and Kellogg's Smorz® cereal) and all varieties of Kellogg's® Rice Krispies Treats® Squares. Products containing beef gelatin include all varieties of Kellogg's® Frosted Pop-Tarts®, Kellogg's® Frosted Mini-Wheats® cereal, Kellogg's® Rice Krispies Treats cereal, and the Kellogg's® Fruit-Flavored Snacks that contain gelatin." from this site…http://www.wolfstad.com/2006/09/pop-tarts-with-beef-gelatin/
You suggest grabbing an unfrosted Pop Tart for breakfast. Is the gelatin in Pop Tart only in the frosting and not the filling?
I read somewhere that Raisin Bran isn't vegan because it contains vitamin D ingredients derived from animals. I hope you're right peta, because I love raisin bran…..
hi weetabix cereal is also vegan friendly it says so on the box i'm not entirely sure about the other products but there are a couple of 'em that are vegan as well 🙂
Finding dairy-free or vegan cereal is so tricky. Special K Vanilla Almond no longer has whey and now claims no dairy ingredients, but it still made me ill. I've since learned that "natural flavoring" is vague and misleading, as it often includes dairy.
Warning: Nature Valley products are all GMO products. 🙁
Check out your local Whole Foods Market to learn tips on how to go vegan or vegetarian. There is a nutritionist at every store that can assist you if you need extra help. In the meantime, continue on this site, Oprah's site has a nice shopping list to view for vegans, and EHOW.com
decided to go vegan but am finding it realy dificult . dont know what to look for on products .is there a simple book i can get to help .xx.
Are all Kelloggs Special K cereals vegan friendly?
Hi Kathy: You can read about refined sugars here: http://www.peta.org/about/faq/Are-animal-ingredients-included-in-white-sugar.aspx
Hello, just wondering, does PETA consider the kinds of sweeteners in these products and/or the kind of processing they go through? As I've tried to become vegan, my reading suggests that white/refined sugar (which is also contained in most brown sugar)is filtered through animal bone char. I've read things that suggest white flour goes through a process like that too. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
I just became vegan and there are tons of thing, i eat strawberry's with sugar or vinaigrette, and apple sauce( not the most typical breakfast food) and V8 to get me going!
I'm pretty sure that Van's breakfast products are vegan. They make frozen waffles and stuff like that.
There is also almond milk. It's really good!
Who knew that cocoa puffs are vegan? haha not the healthiest choice, but funny nonetheless.
@Robert: Morning Star is vegetarian, not vegan. They use dairy in their foods.
There is even hemp milk and flax milk now! both have their own nice aromas. you are not limited to soy!
Wiz- they have great almond and rice mild too
Is their another alternative for soy milk, i like soy but i upsets my stomach, is lactaid stil a dairy product? ANy alternatives? for milkl for latose intolerance folks.
Soy milk is not a good alternative for some, it would be good if you had other alternatives other then just cereal, like it's the only thing you can have for breakfast.
What about Morning Star farms? They make some great meatless products like bacon and sausages.

Even with high oil field wages, finding shelter can be one of the biggest challenges for newcomers. In Live Oak and McMullen counties, some have opted out of planting roots and living on a solid foundation, or have given up trying entirely. These camps of RVs, sheds and tents can be found throughout the Eagle Ford Shale and are home to new or temporary residents who live among the elements like modern-day pioneers. For them, life in a boomtown can be a bumpy ride.
Tips Park in Three Rivers is filled with dozens of RVs and tents year-round, but unlike most government-owned parks, there isn't a lot of changeover. For many, this is where they call home as they try to live as cheaply as they can in an area where rent has increased 300 percent in recent years.
At $5 a night, it doesn't get much cheaper than living at Tips Park. But it takes some creativity to keep cool; tents covered in tarps are connected in a web of drop-cables powering their air conditioners and fans as they spread across the park lawn and RVs fill the back half of the park.
On the east end of Tips Park, near the basketball court, is a one-person tent where Lupe Ramos lives. Ramos used to commute from San Antonio when he got hired in the area for $20 per hour. He said he drives slowly, so the commute took him two hours one-way and cost him about $120 per week.
Ramos said he came to the area when he found his current job as a sandblaster online and was hired on the spot at a job fair.
"The first week it was rough because I only had a little bit of money, and my money went like quick in the gas money and buying water and all kinds of stuff," Ramos said. "We are struggling to make ends meet."
Although he has a small tent with a tarp cover to disperse some heat, he sleeps in the covered bed of his Ford Ranger with a fan blowing on him all night.
"My family is kind of sad because I sacrifice, but I don't like waking up early and driving two hours; I could fall asleep on the road," Ramos said. "People want to be with their families, but work late and then get there and go to bed at midnight and the next thing you know it is 4 a.m. But now my money isn't going into gas and that kind of stuff. I feel safer not driving to and from (San Antonio) real early."
Staying off the roads is important for commuters like Ramos because crashes increased by 295.5 percent in McMullen County and by 11.1 percent in Live Oak County from 2008 to 2011, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.
Ramos said he and his coworkers drink cold water and Gatorade all day while working outside, but they don't have a fridge so they use a cooler of ice. He said they buy two bags of ice every day and take turns buying drinks.
"I do sandblasting during the day, and we pace ourselves; you can't do much when it's real hot," Ramos said. "Even in the mornings you run out of breath."
Texans are more likely to die of temperature-related causes during July and August than any other time of the year, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. With temperatures hovering at about 100 degrees in the daytime, seeking refuge from the heat is easier said than done for those living in tents at Tips Park.
And for those working in the oil fields by day and at Tips Park at night, there is no escape.
"Everyone is oil field here, it's called oil field trash, and we are trying to make it day-to-day," Adelia Niebauer said. "Fans don't do much; they just circulate the heat; it's like an automatic heat, hot air blowing from the fan."
Niebauer has been living in a three-room tent west of the basketball court at Tips Park since late November where she, her boyfriend, and dog, Lola, a Great Dane/Labrador mix, used to keep cool with a window air conditioning unit. But it broke, and she said they can't afford a new one right now. She said she wrote a letter to the governor addressing the challenges she and others in similar situations face each day.
With no air conditioner, she keeps herself and her dog cool during the day by staying wet and drinking iced drinks. She said they also find relief in their car, a 2007 Ford Escape. Then at night, she said she will get up and take showers to cool off too.
Niebauer said she's been living in a tent at the park since November because housing is too expensive in the area for her and her boyfriend to afford, even though he makes $1,800 every two weeks. She credited their budget being tight to the living expenses they accrue between groceries, gas, laundry and others.
"You have to be oil field to find a house here," Niebauer said. "They think 'oil field, OK, we will take all their money.'"
She said it costs $1,300 per month to rent a RV, or $400 for a spot to park one that's already owned. She said they looked at renting a room, but it was $500 per month per person. In last week's classifieds section, a bedroom could be rented locally for $150 per person per week, or $600 per month. A three-bedroom house in Three Rivers was advertised for $1,200 per month, and an RV was available for $130 per week for one person or $170 per week for two people.
"I came here to make money and save as much as I can. It's not about how much you make; it's how much you get to keep," Tips Park tent resident Jesse Davis said. "Us transients are going to leave someday, and they might remember some of this."
Davis uses a window air conditioning unit sealed onto the side of his tent with duct tape and propped up on a milk crate and some wood. He said during the night it gets cool enough inside that he occasionally has to turn it off for a while.
"But at day it is a losing battle. It's kind of hillbilly, but it works," Davis said. "I started out with the air conditioner because I knew it was going to be hot. The tarps reflect the heat and it really does help. Even with my air conditioner going, you can't stay in the tent during midday."
Davis came to Three Rivers from Florida; he said finding a job was difficult to do there. He also said his brother lived at Tips Park for five or six months, so he knew what he was getting into. This includes the scorpions and tarantulas, both of which he has encountered while living in the park.
"You can't walk away from your tent unzipped because things will crawl in and move in with you," Davis said. "You can't keep them away, but I keep them out."
Davis described the heat in Three Rivers as more of a dry heat than in Florida. He said the first three or four weeks were difficult until he realized the importance of staying hydrated.
"If you wait until you're thirsty, you will never catch up, you will be thirsty all day," Davis said.
Davis said he is usually at work during the daytime and spends his Sundays doing laundry and grocery shopping. A typical day for him involves waking up at 4 a.m., going to the gym at 5 a.m. and showering there, then working a 12-13-hour long shift; so his time at the park is limited.
Although the temperature and stress run equally high for those roughing it to get by, the Texas traditions of hospitality, kindness and neighborly customs are no different at Tips Park than a regular neighborhood as Ramos, Niebauer and Davis each said they've met a lot of nice people while living there.

Since TICA is headquartered in South Texas, we know all too well about hurricanes and having to be ready in case one decides to swing inland.
Tails Pet Media Group lists the things you should remember to have ready for your pets in case of any unplanned emergency:
1. Make sure your pets are already microchipped and registered through an identification program and that all ID tags are on them.
2. Prepare yourself and your human family first. If you are unprepared, you will be unable to help your animals.
3. Have a "go kit" for each member of your family ready in case evacuation is necessary. Similarly create and maintain a "go kit" for each of your animals.
4. In case you must "shelter in place," prepare your home and maintain the necessary supplies, adequate food, and medication for the humans and pets in your family.
5. For each animal, a kit should include the following supplies: a two-week supply of food and water; hygiene products such as cat litter, paper towels, and plastic bags; a cage or crate; necessary leashes and collars; and vaccination records, photos of your pet, and your veterinarian's phone number in a waterproof bag.
6. If your pets have medical needs, maintain copies of updated veterinary records and a minimum of a two-week supply of medications. Do not assume there will be veterinary care immediately available at an evacuation shelter.
7. Learn in advance where pet-friendly public shelters will be located in your community in the event of an evacuation.
8. If an emergency strikes, bring pets indoors immediately. Natural disasters, such as a wildfire, hurricane, or tornado, can produce unhealthy air and dangerous debris.
9. If you are separated from your pet, visit shelters regularly with a photo and veterinary records to identify your animal.
And remember, now shelters will not turn you away because you have your pet with you. So if you do need to leave your house during an unplanned event, and don't have family or friends to stay with or can't afford a hotel room, go to the local place they have set up for a makeshift shelter for you and your cat (and other pets).

Why we love baseball
I was having a discussion with one of my best friends the other day, and we got on to the topic of being passionate/having a passion. She ended up asking me why I love the Red Sox, and I found it kind of hard to answer. It's like asking someone why they love their family… you can't explain it, you just do. She thought it was weird that I have a passion for watching other people perform their passion; she thought that you should have a passion for something that you create. I suppose I have a passion for writing, I mean, I kind of religiously maintain this blog. But, I still think that I have a passion for the Red Sox, and that all you baseball fans out there have a passion for your team. I told her that baseball brings people together in a kind of way that nothing else can, it provides you with some kind of excitement that nothing else can, it's life changing. Some of the relationships you have with people wouldn't even be existent if baseball didn't exist. I told her that most of the time, I'd rather stay home and watch a game than go out on a Friday night. It's just not the same when you watch it the next day. There's a kind of anxious feeling that you get… when the count is 0-2 on Dustin Pedroia and there are two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning and you're down by a run. Even if it's not a playoff game, it's still exciting. Whenever I get a boyfriend, (that is, if I can find it within myself to put up with the guys at my school) I'll go out to dinner with them on a Friday night… it just has to be a nice sports bar where I can watch the Red Sox game, or Sports Center for updates (they don't have NESN down in FL). If not, I'd be constantly checking my cell phone for updates about the game. I told my friend that you live and die with your team, and she thought that it was a little extreme, but for me, and I'm sure for a lot of you, that it's true. So granted, we're all passionate about our teams, but I still think that we can have a passion for our teams too. I downloaded Robert Lovett Crawford's, the vice president of RSN, song 'I'm a Member of a Red Sox Nation' from his blog 'It's a Kind of Family, It's a Kind of Insanity' and I think we can all agree that "we live and die with [insert team's name pride] for eternity]. From the types of people that I've met on this site, I can deduce that defining characteristics of us all is loving our teams. I'd be willing to bet that your friends associate you with loving your team almost immediately when they think of you. If baseball didn't exist, I think that a lot of people would be really different.

I think non-fans of the game have a hard time understanding why we are so passionate about the game. Baseball is a lot like life. It ain't over until it's over. There's no clock, no timer. The batter can foul of 20 balls before he gets a hit and that's okay! A batting average of .300 is good! And that means you get out approximately 7 out of 10 times at bat! It's a game that we can play at home – maybe not well but we can do it. There is the same feel in the air when you attend a Little League game. There is something magical about baseball. You can be in a crowd of strangers, someone will mention a game and before you know it there are a bunch of people sitting around and talking. It brings us together – in the office, in the bar, in life. And anything that gets people talking and listening to each other isn't such a bad thing. Would life go on without baseball – sure it would. But it would be a much duller life. I for one am glad that I have the Red Sox in my life.
I think it is easier for James Earl Jones to answer that with his little speach from Field of Dreams. I don't have it off the top of my head, but remember it eloquently explains it.
Red Sox Ramblings: http://thevendahhh.mlblogs.com
AHHHH that was beautiful!! And so true. Seriously, I'm not planning to date yet, but when I do, we are going to a sports bar, or even better, a game! Everything you said is so true. You got it. Baseball is so special, so unique. It's amazing.
Great post, Elizabeth. Women are always asked why we love baseball – I know I am – and I explain it in much the same way you and Julia did. There's no clock. Anything can happen. A game is like the best, most suspenseful novel because the ending is unpredictable. I also love that there's a game within a game (a pitcher versus a batter, as well as a team versus another team). And baseball – or any sport, for that matter – is an escape, an entertainment. It takes us away from the daily grind. My life would be very different without it.

He's a timeless player
He had a veterans game when he was 21.
Can shoot.
Perimeter defense
Full of intangibles and is a tough dude, would help the Knicks balance with the Pacers/Bulls
Much better player than Hardaway Jr.
Sign him for cheap, help our depth since we're low on roster spots. He can fill an important 15-18 minute playing back up SG/SF behind Shumpert/Smith/Anthony...basically fills in for Copeland or Novak

Ex-UBS equities head to set up African venture
Yassine Bouhara, a former UBS executive who co-led the bank's equities team at the time of its 2011 rogue trading scandal, is to set up a brokerage and advisory business focusing on Africa.
Bouhara, who was never accused of any wrongdoing during the Kweku Adoboli scandal, wants to hire over 30 staff and open offices in Paris, Dubai, and Algiers, with plans for a London office also in the pipeline, he told Financial News. The venture will primarily focus on brokerage and advisory services in French-speaking Africa, with plans to branch into asset management and private equity.
A name for the firm has yet to be finalised but Swiss-Algerian Bouhara is aiming to launch in early June and already has a couple of advisory mandates. He said wanted to bring a number of 'senior partners' on board for the project, and hoped to launch a brokerage in Algiers focusing on domestic securities.
Algeria's economy remains heavily reliant on oil, and has one of the world's smallest stock exchanges, with just six listed firms, according to data from the Algiers Stock Exchange website. But the country has one of the world's largest foreign currency reserves and President Abdelaziz Bouteflika this week announced plans to attract investment.
Bouhara's new venture follows Bob Diamond's Atlas Merchant Capital, which via its Africa-focused Atlas Mara vehicle raised £200 million on the London Stock Exchange in December. Diamond has teamed up with Ashish Thakkar, a UK-Ugandan entrepreneur, and is searching for a financial services acquisition in the region.
Bouhara, who was set to move to a newly-created role as chief executive of emerging markets at UBS before his departure, resigned from UBS in October 2011 alongside fellow global co-head of equities Francois Gouws. The departure came a month after the Swiss bank announced that Adoboli, a trader within its investment bank, had racked up $2.3 billion in losses through unauthorised trades. Gouws, who was also never accused of wrongdoing, is now chief executive officer of PSG Konsult, a South African wealth management firm based in Cape Town.
During Adoboli's trial in 2012, Adoboli alleged that Bouhara had told him "you don't know that you have pushed the boundaries hard enough until you've had a slap on the back of the wrists". Adoboli was eventually sentenced to seven years in prison with the City of London Police describing the scandal as "the UK's biggest fraud, committed by one of the most sophisticated fraudsters the City of London Police has ever come across".

He announced his intentions of heading down to lavish South Beach, with his friends, to chase the ultimate NBA hardware.
He crushed the fan base in front of millions on ESPN.
The nightmare has now become a pleasant dream; The King is back on his Cleveland throne.
The wounds are slowly healing. The ones who loved him dearly are now patching the ashes left of his old Cleveland Cavaliers battle armor, while the ones down south are dousing theirs in gasoline; erasing away those once cherished memories.
Two months ago, the mere thought of James leaving the Miami Heat, no less going back to Cleveland, was deemed as a fantasy contrived by fans based on hope.
Then, the perfect storm hit.
His squad was embarrassed in the finals. The ones that helped him over the last four years faded into mediocrity.
It was just James against the San Antonio Spurs, just like with Cleveland seven years ago.
When the opportunity arose for him to go home, the only thing stopping that homecoming was Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, whose comic-sans tirade on James, following his departure, created some bad blood.
The fences were (not so quickly) mended, and James is back.
James' homecoming was the perfect counter to the PR catastrophe that was "The Decision."
Most importantly, he's not alone this time around.
Gone are the days of Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Larry Hughes, and in are the days of fellow No. 1 overall picks, two-time All-Star Kyrie Irving, the disappointing, yet promising Anthony Bennett and the most highly-touted prospect since James ( ... and Greg Oden) in Andrew Wiggins.
Meanwhile, his former comrades, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, have resurfaced and are looking to be paid quite handsomely for staying in Miami.
But James' return isn't the end of this tale. Following a four-year hiccup, it's the continuation of his dream; a dream shared by a city that hasn't experienced a championship in many, many years.
He's still the best player in the world, but he has a different role now.
He's the elder statesman, looking to bestow knowledge to a team with an average age of 24. A team that doesn't quite know how to win yet.
James knows this will take time. He's experienced it himself; he's said it himself. With such a young core, it all won't come together over night.
But at this moment, in a depleted Eastern Conference, James' return has pushed the Cavs to become the favorites to win the East.
He's not the chosen one anymore, or even the villain. He's just a kid, back home, looking to settle some unfinished business and continue a Cleveland dream 50 years overdue.

Tantalizing 'C' scape
September 27, 2012 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — What a week it's been in 'C" world, the realm inhabited by Class C football, soccer and cross-country teams. The New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) classifies schools by size, but that designation varies from sport to sport. In football and cross-country, Sullivan West, Tri-Valley, Liberty and Fallsburg are all in Class C. But in soccer, Sullivan West (enrollment 311) is Class B by dint of seven extra students in grades 9-11. Liberty is also a "B" in soccer. Eldred was in Class C soccer last year but has returned to Class D. Eldred remains in Class D in football.
Gridiron 'C' wars: Sullivan West travelled to Fallsburg for its first league game of the season and trounced the Comets 59-6. Sawyer Erlwein gave new meaning to the word ubiquitous, as he seemed to be everywhere. He ran for three touchdowns, threw for two more (one to Brad Hemmer and one to Andrew Stabbert) and capped off his night with a 100-yard kickoff return. Fallsburg's defeat came just one week after the Comets' first-ever win, a thumping of Livingston Manor. The Bulldogs improved to 4-0 (1-0 OCIAA) and will now travel to play Class B Goliath New Paltz. The following week, they host Tri-Valley 2-2 (1-1 OCIAA) in what is shaping up to be a game with huge playoff-berth ramifications. A loss by Tri-Valley would likely eliminate the Bears from this year's dance. Sullivan West has three league games to go that include Pine Plains (Homecoming) and Millbrook. The Bears outlasted Eldred 20-8 this past weekend as they garnered touchdowns from Jesus Lozada, Brendan Tierney and Justin Swarthout. Eldred trailed 13-0 at the half but scored eight in the third quarter on a 12-yard TD pass from Anthony Margarum to Nik Dilles. RJ Thiele scored on the two-point conversion. Eldred had numerous chances in the game, which it squandered with penalties, dropped passes and poor snaps. Both teams are now 2-2. Tri-Valley hosts Fallsburg in a league tilt under the lights, while Eldred wrangles at home against Liberty, its third Class C opponent in as many weeks. Liberty improved to 2-2 with an impressive 41-6 win over Ellenville.

Partitioning in the Real World
If you haven't discovered yet what partitioning can do for you in SQL Server 2005 - then this session is for you. Many resources teach the basics of partitioning - BUT this session gives a view of partitioning from the trenches - ie. how it's been used in the real world to solve very difficult problems. This session is comprehensible even for those that have not used partitioning yet - as it starts with a 5-minute overview. Partitioning is a simple concept to grasp and this session goes beyond the concepts and shows in-depth how partitioning has been implemented in the real world. The session uses real case studies of very different and difficult to solve problems and it is shown how partitioning solve these problems in an elegant and simple way and more importantly how to keep a partitioned system performing optimally. By drawing on real case studies with which the presenter has direct experience the session shows many lessons learned from implementing partitioning that go beyond the basic concepts and show how real world problems were really solved by using partitioning.

- Title
- Sizing up partially depleted galaxy cores
- Author(s)
- Dullo, Bililign T.; Graham, Alister W.
- Abstract
- We have modelled the inner surface brightness profiles of 39 alleged 'core' galaxies with the core-Sersic model, and provide new physical parameters for the largest ever sample of 'core' galaxies fit with this model. When present, additional nuclear components were simultaneously modelled and the typical rms scatter of the fits (out to ~10 arcsec) is 0.02 mag/arcsec^2. Model-independent estimates of each core's break radius are shown to agree with those from the core-Sersic model, and a comparison with the Nuker model is provided. We found an absence of cores in what amounts to 18% of the sample which are reclassified here as Sersic galaxies with low values of n (< ~ 4) and thus shallow inner profile slopes. In general, galaxies with n<3 and sigma < 183 km/s do not have depleted cores. We derive updated relations between core-Sersic break radii, their associated surface brightness, bulge luminosity, central velocity dispersion, and predicted black hole mass for galaxies with depleted cores. With the possible exception of NGC 584, we confirm that the inner negative logarithmic profile slopes gamma are < ~ 0.3 for the 'core' galaxies, and 0 > gamma > -0.1 for six of these. Finally, the central stellar mass deficits are found to have values typically within a factor of 4 of the expected central black hole mass.

Wow...Ariza is number 2, and we traded the brother for nothing.
I love THAT list though, these are key assets to their respective team, and are young unselfish players who will be NBA starters in the future.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
the article
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Notice how Curry, nor Randolph are on the list.
They might be vets, but come on they are so young.. BUT We are talking about young prospects. As for that I agree with the article.
I wasnt gonna talk about Curry and Randolph cuz KG is 30 or 31, ZBO is 26 i think and EC is 24. I didnt have to bother with Curry and Zach cuz KG is about 5 years older than them. Although getting rid of Ariza was a mistake, I'm glad we got Balkmen and that he is higher on that list.
Ofcourse Z-Bo or Curry aren't going to be on that list. Both players have been in the NBA for at least 6 years and both are arguably already stars.
As for the Ariza trade I wouldn't blame Isiah that much for it. It was mostly Brown who forced Isiah to do the trade as he wanted to replace Marbury with Francis.
If you continued reading and clicking on the different links to the page you would have seen the criteria which is
- played less than 24 minutes per game, but more than 12
- played at least 41 games
- had less than six years of experien
This is why Curry and Zach werent on the list not because they lack the talent or there age or whatever else dumb ass excuse you make.
Anyway, Curry eats caca.
Balkman is a beast.
My opinion.
LOL...I'm joking, don't get worked up and threaten to kill me.
Yo, I question you guys. You get soft and emotional when I throw a little hit at the fat boys...but why doesn't anyone praise Balkman for his ability? All of your post have been on Curry/Randolph...show appreciation to the star of this thread, Renaldo Balkman.
you right balkmen deserves some high praise. Fans will regret booing him on draft night for years to come. I have compared Balkmen to Scottie Pippen in the past because of his tough defense. Q rich better watch out cuz Balkmen is comin for that sf position. Ron Artest said himself that he would not trade balkmen for himself. I wish he was a couple inches taller so we can play him at the pf position cuz Zach Randolph will never be 1/4 of the defender that Balkmen is and the same goes for Curry.
We all love this guy but that dosnt mean we have to downplay our starting PF and our Starting C. Come on people hes not even the starting SF although one day like this thread said he will be a future super star. But for know lets give it up for the guys that are leading this team damn
I rather have trevor Ariza to be #1 because ever since he was traded to the Magic, he has been a big impact to them. The only thing that I agree with is that he was traded to the Magic because if he was still in on the Knicks then I dont think he would have should the NBa what he can really do on the court. When he was up here Isiah put shackles on him. But it wold still be great if he was a impact on the Knicks.
Or maybe after being traided he realized he needed to step it up so he did and i guess made a difference. Good for him but since he wasnt doing that for the nicks his ass had to go sorry.

Reassessing Security Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific: Competition, Congruence, and Transformation
Book, MIT Press
August 2007
Editors: Amitav Acharya, Evelyn Goh
Ordering Information for this publication
Belfer Center Studies in International Security
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Belfer Center Studies in International Security; International Security
Since the 1990s, Asia-Pacific countries have changed their approaches to security cooperation and regional order. The end of the Cold War, the resurgence of China, the Asian economic crisis, and the events of September 11, 2001, have all contributed to important changes in the Asia-Pacific security architecture. In addition to the traditional bilateral security arrangements based on the US "hub and spokes" alliance system, there has been an increase in multilateral efforts, including the ASEAN Regional Forum, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, the Shangri-la dialogue of defense ministers, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. But because of their varying membership, scope, and mandates, these new arrangements have suffered from a lack of coordination.
This volume reassesses security cooperation in the region in light of such recent developments as the emergence of new roles for existing institutions, the rise of new institutions, challenges to existing norms of regional interaction, increasing formalization or legalization of regional institutions, the reconstruction of modes of security cooperation that were once seen as mutually exclusive, and the creation of ad hoc and informal security approaches. The book examines how successful these new arrangements have been, whether there is competition among them, and why some modes of security cooperation have proven more feasible than others.
Read "Introduction: Reassessing Security Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific" (.pdf)
Amitav Acharya is Deputy Director, Head of Research, and Professor at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He is the author of Constructing a Security Community in Southeast Asia: ASEAN and the Problem of Regional Order and other books.
Evelyn Goh is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. She is the author of Constructing the US Rapprochement with China, 1961-1974: From Red Menace to Tacit Ally.
- Modes of Regional Conflict Management: Comparing Security Cooperation in the Korean Peninsula, China-Taiwan, and the South China Sea
Praise for Reassessing Security Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific:
"Covering the topic with unparalleled style and depth, this book is a 'must read' for those determined to understand the cutting-edge theories and policy debates shaping Asian security politics. It will be a core resource for students, analysts, and policy-makers for years to come. It brings together the most formidable group of experts yet assembled to gauge how the region's alliances, institutions, and regimes work to advance Asia's regional security order."
—William Tow, Professor of International Relations, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Australian National University
"There was a time in the late 1990s when many wondered whether Asia-Pacific institutions were too weak to survive economic crises and traditional security practices. Yet in this century older institutions are adapting, and brand new institutions proliferating. Is all this activity paving the way for the emergence of sub-regional security communities? Or is it mostly a cover for realpolitik-as-usual in the region? Amitav Acharya and Evelyn Goh have brought together some of the most knowledgeable and innovative experts on Asian institutions to examine these kinds of questions. Theoretically pluralistic and sensitive to history, the volume challenges many conventional wisdoms about the under-institutionalization of the Asia-Pacific."
—Alastair Iain Johnston, Laine Professor of China in World Affairs, Harvard University

A plate of crispy battered prawns, mushrooms, tomato and arugula tossed with spaghettini and a cream sauce has taken the cake as the most calorie-rich chain restaurant dish in America.
Packing a whopping 3120 calories, the Cheesecake Factory's Bistro Shrimp Pasta, which sells in Washington for $US17.95 (NZ$21.30), loomed large over other gut-busting menu items on this year's Xtreme Eating Awards list.
The countdown of high-calorie entrees and desserts is put out by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based advocacy group focusing on health, nutrition and food safety.
Among other dishes under the Xtreme Eating spotlight are the 1980-calorie Deep Dish Macaroni and 3-Cheese at Uno Chicago Grill and a 1820-calorie Chocolate Zuccotto Cake at Maggiano's Little Italy.
By way of comparison, the average adult requires 2000 calories a day.
"It's as if... major restaurant chains are scientifically engineering these extreme meals with the express purpose of promoting obesity, diabetes, and heart disease,'' said the centre's executive director, Michael Jacobson.
More than one in three adults Americans, and around 17 per cent of the nation's youth, are obese, contributing to a higher risk of high blood pressure and type two diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Nashua Dodgers
Greetings from Nashua, NH!
When a friend from New Hampshire found out I was a Dodger fan, he asked me "Did you know the Dodgers had a minor league team in New Hampshire?" I told him, yes, I had heard of it but I knew very little of that.
Well, back in 1946 when Branch Rickey signed Don Newcombe & Roy Campanella He had to send them to A ball because of their history as Negro League stars. When a Midwestern league made it clear that blacks were not welcome, Rickey contacted Buzzy Bavasi, then a young general manager with the Nashua Dodgers. Bavasi made it clear that his only interest was in a player's ability.
We were very lucky to play in that area, says Newcombe. On a short brick outfield wall in a very short left field are circles with the numbers 36, 39, and 42.
Nashua holds another first in the history of the desegregation of major league baseball. When Nashua manager Walter Alston was ejected from a game that year, he left the team in the hands of Roy Campanella, who became the first African-American to manage an affiliated major league game. The Nashua Dodgers beat the Lawrence Millionaires 7-5. 3 That year the team won the New England League Championship.
There is another interesting note to the 1946 season. A local poultry farmer, Jack Fallgren, offered 100 baby chicks for every home run hit by a Nashua player. At the end of the season, Campanella shipped 1400 chicks to his father, who started a chicken farm outside of Philadelphia.
Holman Stadium has also been home to three other minor league teams, the 1980s Eastern League affiliates of the California Angels (1983) and Pittsburgh Pirates (1984-86), as well as the short-lived independent Nashua Hawks (1995-96).
5 Comments
Very interesting! I wonder where the elder Campanella's chicken farm was? Enjoy the rest of your time in NH.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
The Nashua Prides used to play here. This year is the American Defenders. The new ownership group is led by former Red Sox GM, Dan duquette. The field manager isformer Red Sox first baseman, Brian daubach.
I don't know where the elder Campanella's Chicken farm was but he was born in Philadelphia. There is a black & white movie called "Is Good to be Alive" starting Campy. It is sad how his career was cut short by his accident. Thanks! I went today to catch some of the game at Holman's stadium. I took pictures but I wont' be able to post them until I return.
Interesting, Emma. Who knew? My brother-in-law lives near there, but he's never mentioned the team. Have fun! I'll be joining you in the northeast tomorrow.
I don't think many people know that ballpark exist but is such a nice rich history. I am back in L.A. and now you should be back East. Good luck with your team

Scene 3: The Rialto returns to life; the Rio shows grade-B movies. Scene 4: By the 1950s, it starts featuring Spanish films.
Scene 5: In 1990, Wayne Dirks buys it from State Bank and Trust and transforms it into a place for private parties, with a garden where the seats used to be and with dancing on the concrete floor.
Scene 6: Later, Dirks opens part of his home as the Nueces Inn bed and breakfast; the Rio contains a sandwich shop. Scene 7: Shaved ice sold in the entrance.
But like the twists and turns of a Saturday serial, the Rio deteriorates. Scene 8: It is abandoned for a decade.
Dirks has hopes, though. He wants to refurbish it into a dinner theater. Those who might scoff should remember, (Scene 9) he is a former U.S. Army artillery officer, comfortable with taking a mission and accomplishing it.

The World Series is headed back to the Bronx! Facing elimination, Chase Utley and Cliff Lee led the Phillies to an important 8-6 victory.
Red-hot Alex Rodriguez quickly put the Yankees on the board. A-Rod's World Series slump is history, but Chase Utley made history of his own. Utley's first inning three-run bomb started a long night for A.J Burnett; yet Utley was far from done.
The Phillies tacked on runs in the third inning via RBIs by Jayson Werth, Raul Ibanez, and Carlos Ruiz. Burnett was the complete opposite from game two – he lasted just two innings and gave up six runs. Meanwhile, Cliff Lee was cruising.
Lee wasn't lights out, but he pitched better than his line indicated. He threw for seven innings, but tired as he approached the 100+ pitch mark. Three of the five earned runs he allowed came in the eighth inning, including one inherited run. Some spotty defense by JRoll and Howard also contributed to two earned runs.
Once again, it was A-Rod with the big hit. After Shane Victorino was hit by a pitch in the first inning, Charlie Manuel opted to rest him in the eighth after the Phillies took a commanding six-run lead. The move was questionable since Raul Ibanez was unable to make a tough catch and Ben Francisco, Victorino's replacement, made a weak throw after a sacrifice fly RBI. The six-run cushion was cut in half.
Chase Utley's second home run and Ibanez's solo shot were big reasons why the Phillies had such a large lead in the first place. Utley now has five home runs in the World Series, tying Mr. October, Reggie Jackson's record from 1977. The home runs proved to be key since the Yankees continued to fight back.
After Chan Ho Park pitched a solid eighth, Ryan Madson was asked to close. A Jorge Posada double and Hideki Matsui single set up the beginning of another potential ninth-inning nightmare. Instead, a run was traded for a Jeter double play then Madson struck out Mark Teixeira to end the game. Whew!
Breathe a little easier, but there are still two more games the Phillies need to win and they'll have to do that on the Yankees' turf. Fortunately this team plays their best with their backs against the wall. So tonight, keep believing and keep those hopes high.
78 Comments
This team will most certainly give me a coronary by the time this series is over. They almost gave me one tonight.
If Howard and King Cole both show up, then we will win in 7.
I barely held it together in the 9th. The Jeter double-play saved the season.
But, hey, at this time of year, a win's a win.
I like our chances in game 6. They're starting a soft-tossing 37-year-old who relies on location on short rest. Yes, it's Andy Pettitte, but this is a tough situation.
He hasn't pitched on short rest in like four years, and he's facing a hot offensive club for the second time.
Let's go Phils! Keep hope alive!!!
The Yank's offense is so relentless. It's telling that I wasn't comfortable with a 6 run lead. We really need Howard to turn himself around and go on one of those stretches where he carries the team.
And great win, but heres what the phils gotta do:
The Yankees take advantage of every little mistake. Howard not throwing home- led to a run.
J-rol not throwing to first- led to more runs.
Also, every time pedro feliz comes to bat, I bet 5$ that he will not run a 2-2 count. I think he may have done it one time this whole post season.
Howard needs to relax at the plate.
Utley needs some bengay for his shoulders. They must hurt from carrying this offense!
I just have to say win or lose, its a pleasure to watch this team continue to fight, anything can happen from here…GO PHILLIES!
I think Id go happ game 6 and Pedro game 7.
Rookie in game 7 of the WS or Pedro?
Mike D: There will be no more "King Cole" in this series. No matter what. He is a noodle armed Mr. Softy with a miserable attitiude. I would honestly rather see Brett Myers start Game 7.
I'd do a rain dance and make damned sure it rains enough so that Cliff Lee gets his normal rest, that's what I'd do.
I wasnt comfortable either, but that was partially some of the decisions made. take out Vic? Take out Chan ho? hmm. It worked. Lets go to game 6. But honestly Mike D, if Queen Cole decides he wants to ball in game 7, my first post will be Congratulations Yankees. As if sucking it up the entire post season wasnt enough he comes out and says he "Can't wait until its over". For that comment alone, I wouldnt put him anywhere near the freakin clubhouse if it goes to 7.
Cole isnt pitching game 7. I wont even watch.
the weather is clear for the next week in the bronx there is no chance of rain.
Well, then, we'll just all need to do a rain dance. And it isn't a guaranteed loss, just as long as Cole's on a short leash and Charlie will yank him faster than you can say "Adam Eaton."
Pedro in Game 6…Happ/Park/Lee in Game 7…I can't wait to see the fear on their faces in the Bronx
I am still beside myself that a professional baseball player who wants to be ab Ace, and was upset when the Phillies went to get a real Ace, comes out says he "Can't want until its over". That attitude is what REALLY scares me with 6 and maybe 7 coming up. An attitude like that will lose a game and a series since the Yankees only need one in NY.
Well Mike D, I have more phaith in Brad Lidge not blowing a single save next season than I do with; a. Queen Cole winning a game in NY, and b. Charlie actually keeping the Queen on a short leash.
If we can get it to 7. Then you hear the choking noise from the bronx.
They do have to beat us one more time. i love them using their guys on short rest. i hate that we lost game 4 though.
If we make it game 7, that is a GREAT thing honestly. The fact that the Yankees and the best team MONEY CAN BUY didnt sweep the Phillies and are fighting for this WS with the Phillies about 90Million less in payroll is pretty impressive that the Phillies can do that much without spending as much. Anywhere near as much actually.
Yeah, Cole's made me look stupid with many of my "he'll get em next time" predictions. Overshadowed my "Lidge will get the W" prediction for NLCS Game 4. And I think Cole should have kept his mouth shut. I'm sure that he regrets saying it. I'm just worried because he doesn't enjoy doing his job, which is to play a game. But Charlie kept him on a (relatively) short leash for Game 5 of the LCS. His going to the curve and not being able to throw a fastball by anyone after 4 innings means he's gassed, Dubee and Charlie probably know this.
Brian salary isnt really in the discussion. It is part of why we hate the yanks but we are hardly poor people pan handling like the Rays. We didnt care last year that they were lower and I dont care this year abouth the yankees payroll. They have to pay more to get players to go there anyway.
Cole sucks please lets not see him again.
I would vote no Cole for the rest of the Series. Yeah, we got away with using him in the LCS, but the Yankees are a much better team than the Dodgers. The Yankees can hurt us up and down the lineup, and I just don't think Cole would stand a chance against them. I say we go with Happ in Game 6, and if it gets to a seventh, we go with a well-rested Pedro. Either way, you have to like the way we match up against an aging Pettite on short rest. If our offense continues this little streak, I love our chances, especially if the Big Man wakes up.
Well I dont think Blanton did to poorly, but I am now wondering if they should have Started Lee in 4, then Blanton, Pedro and Lee again. If Lee won Game 4, would be 2-2 entering tonight with Lee still going again. Oh well, its in the past, the only thing to think about now is winning 2 more game. We are behind the 8 ball, and the numbers are against us, but its not over. Doubtful honestly but I was dead wrong with the rest of the post season. So heres to High Hopes.
You heard it here first. Cole Hamels WILL start game 7 if they make it. It just makes too much sense. He gets the fisrt 3 innings to pitch great like he has all postseason then any sign of trouble he's out and then you have any bullpen arm plus Blanton, Lee, Happ to finish it out. I honestly don't even know why there is a discussion. What everyone is not saying is that before he was baited into the regrettable 'can't wait till its over' comment' he had already made it very clear that he wanted the ball in a potential game 7. The other quote came after he was asked hypothetically about if there was no game 7. Should he have said it? No, probably not but the kid is till young, brutally honest, and the fact is I believe he has left it all out on the field. He hasn't performed up to his ability and no one knows that better than he does. I think everyone needs to realize that and move on.
Well CZ, I want nothing more than to be proven wrong about the next two games, and especially Hamels.
Another thing I find amazing about this team is that they are fighting for a World Series with a beleaguered and injured bullpen. Few of the experts even had the Phillies in the World Series at the start of the playoffs, and many had them losing to the Rockies. Again it just goes to show how hard they fight to overcome defencies, and how appreciative we should be as fans.
No guys, I go with Pedro game 6 and take a chance in game 7. Remember, there's no garauntees any Phils or Yanks pitcher will be good or bad the rest of the way. Based on what we've seen so far, I'd feel more comfortable with Pedro pitching trailing this series. Worry about game 7 if/when we getto that. Plus, remember Happ/Blanton/Hamels/Myers/Park would be going against CC, whose arm has been used quite heavily this postseason. Think of it this way: If charlie had switched Pedro and Hamels, the Phils would have won game 3, assuming both pitchers pitched the same game. Considering how the Phils have done vs. CC, I'd rather have Pedro going against someone who might hold the offense down
I don't want to talk about game 7, but should Lee start if we do get there?
First things first, Pedro needs to pitch the same in game 6, and the Offense needs to continue what they did tonight THEN and ONLY then we worry about game 7.
For game 7, ALL pitchers are on alert and available. After all, there is no tomorrow. Manuel already has committed Pedro Martinez to pitch against Andy Pettitte for game 6 Wednesday.
Great, because Cole Hamels is "young, brutally honest" and couldnt keep his mouth shut, the verbal arguments have started in the Phillies Locker room. Brett Myers walked by his locker and jokingly said "Why are you here, I thought you quit". Couldn't deal with the joke about his idiotic comment so cursed him out. Nice Cole, way to turn other pitchers against you, and create a rift in the Locker Room. The once Poster Child of everything you want in the Post Season quickly turns everyone against him.
…I keep saying this about Happ…I think he he's more injured than we Know..One rough start in belolw freezing temps and given Hamels horrid post season Happ doesn't get the call with the year he put in?…At lesat he does have three pitches. Also ever since he reinjured his oblique the remainder of his regular seasons starts were sub par and he has worked behind hitters constantly in his one post season start and his relief appearances. In 4.2 innings he has given up 7 hits, 4 ER, 1 HR, 5 BB, 4 K's, 9.00 ERA.. Maybe a a cortisone shot and he could push thru it…who knows. But those are paltry numbers who talent suggests otherwise
that's "those are paltry numbers for someone whos talent suggests otherwise."
Man to bad Myers (ex-golden glove boxer) didn't deck him.
The Phillies will win game 6 & 7 and repeat as world champs!
Two things, do not worry about a game 7 until we game 6 please. The Phillies have to win Wednesday night, Old man Petite on 3 days rest, I like our chances if Pedro can go 6+ and give up 3 or less runs. The bats have to stay hot, and it would be really good if Ryan can hit, good thing from tonights game, which I was at, is that he took walks, so his eye seems to be coming back, So if he swings at strikes he will get hits.
And I just have to say, I live in Vermont and have driven down to PA for 4 playoff games, and they have won them all, game 1 against the ROX, 3 and 4 against LA and now game 5 against the Yankees, so I think someone needs to get me tickets to games 6 and 7 in NY. I am just saying.
But really about this game, good win, one more win on wednesday,and that is all I have to say for now
Working Midnight shifts I have to watch re-runs of ESPN and Sportscenter, and while I love seeing the re-plays of the Eagles BEAT DOWN on the Giants, and the replay of Game 5 with the Phillies win, I cant deal with Bobby Valentine anymore. Wow he sounds like a COMPLETE MORON.
No! The Yankees have to win the next game, so they will be the World Series Champs! I really shouldn't be rooting for the Yankees since I live near Philidelphia, but I wasn't born here so I can root for anyone I want, right? GO YANKEES!
Stating the obvious – every game is an elimination game at this point. I also like going lefty-righty starters. Stick with Pedro Wed, hope to get 5 good innnings, then go to Happ. I think Petite will make Burnett's outing look successful – he won't make it out of the 2nd inning. He looked very hittable on normal rest, just couldn't knock him out. Chase F'in Utley!!!!
I also think that Myers lit a fire under Cole. Either Myers is a genius at motivation, or a wise-ass who can't help himself, but either way, I love that he slapped Cole around a bit. Howard, please spend the next two days watching tape, then going to the batting cage – you look lost up there. Shave the beard too (keep the porn stache if you like), it's not you.
No Cole. Happ in 6 – keep the yanks on their toes. they haven't seen much of him, and the 1 time they did, he pitched great – in NYC no less. Lee on short rest in Game 7???
I'd say that, at this point, keeping Lee on regular rest looks like a good decision to me.
Maybe we win Game 4 with Lee starting the game; maybe we don't. But holding him for Game 5 swung the match-ups in our favor and upped our chances of taking this series the distance.
Plus, you never know when throwing a guy on short rest is going to blow up in your face (see AJ Burnett .. and, hopefully, Andy Petitte on Wednesday … and CC on Thursday, for that matter).
I think going with Pedro in 6 is a no-brainer. You have to get to 7 before worrying about a starter, and Pedro provides the best chance of getting us there.
In 7, I'd really be surprised if Charlie started anybody but Hamels. This is Charlie. Mr. Loyalty. And while Happ may be a more popular choice right now, the fact is he just hasn't been good of late — a 6.75 ERA in 5.1 postseason innings.
Happ gets a lot of credit for being unflappable on the mound, but in a deciding WS game, I'll take the guy who last year stood in front of 45,000 fans and a TV audience and proclaimed he looks forward to "Parading that trophy down Broad Street again, and again and again."
I personally think this whole "just wish it was over" thing is way overblown. And if the team sees it that way, it's not an issue that would weigh into a decision to start Cole or not start him. As pointed out here, he's been pretty good early in the game, so keep him on a short leash, hope for the best and consider him at worst a bridge to Lee – who would be due to pitch a side session on Thursday anyway.
Look, what Hamels said was clearly taken out of context. The guy spent 95% of the conversation talking about how badly he wants the ball in game 7 and how he wants a shot at redemption. And only then, after all of that, did he make the comment that he couldn't wait for HIS season to end as it has been mentally draining etc. Not, that he couldn't wait for the Phillies season to end.
Obviously it was not the smartest thing he has ever said, he has a habit of saying what he is feeling without really thinking about it. Something he needs to work on for sure but I just don't get people blasting him about it. Keep in mind that I am not a big Hamels fan and have said on the record for months that the guy is not mentally tough. Even still, I don't have an issue with any of what he said. If I were him, I would wish like hell my season was over too so I could get a little rest and then get back to work. He wants to be the best, this season has been a disaster for him, imagine how that feels for him? Would you rather him said, well, I was the LCS and WS MVP last year, we won the World Series so cut me some slack, I just didn't have a good year. At least he cares enough to recognize that he has been awful and wants to move past it.
Secondly, Myers is a douche. I appreciate that he is a bull dog and is a team guy but he is also a huge jerkoff and I don't in anyway think he should have said anything to Hamels at all. What purpose could that have possibly served?
Also, isn't anyone at all curious how this got out? To my understanding this happened right after the game ended, the reporters should not have been in the locker room yet, which means somehow someone said something to a reporter after it happened. That concerns me.
I think Pedro getting another chance to put a steak into the hearts of the Yankees is exactly what this team needs. Had our offense showed up at all in game 2 then he deserved to get the win. Hopefully this time it will be a different story and our offense continues to do some things. Though I would imagine Utley won't see a pitch to hit in game 6, and I doubt Howard will suddenly wake up vs a tough lefty. I guess it will all be on Werth to put up some big numbers. He did it once before.
And lastly, if it gets to a game 7. I would still throw Hamels over Happ. But he would be on a very very short leash with Happ ready come in at a moments notice. Heck, Lee would also be available for an inning or two. If we get there.
This season isn't over yet but the Phillies still have a lot of work to do.
My gut tells me Hamels v. Myers is yet another example of something that started in good fun, then was taken out of context and blown out of proportion. The other example is Rollins' "phils in 5, prediction."
One step, another, and then another…..
First step has been taken.
Once again Edr makes the most sense here…. We all wish that Cole was tough enough and strong enough to take the ball on three days rest in Game 6 to be perfectly honest. We have also seen though that pitching on 3 days can kill a pitcher's good stuff. At this point I'm just glad we'll at least one more Phillies game to watch. I don't know what to expect on Wednesday nite. I would like for Chuck to break-up Chase/Howard. Maybe put Werth as the 4 hole guy. Andy is way too smart to give Chase any more meatballs to crush. Vic is a gamer, but if the hand is still swollen he has to sit. It will hurt us defn more than anything. Charlie's brain freeze in leaving Raul in left almost cost us last nite.
-Vic has to be honest here. As we still have time to make a roster move. Mayberry Jr??? That way, you'd have Ben Fran in left, Werth in Center, Mayberry Jr in right. Raul as your DH. I wish we could replace Dobbs for Cairo….. I know Mayberry would be ice cold. But it's better than Ben/Raul in RF? That could be brutal. Please Shane just be honest. If you're hurt just respectfully sit out. No shame in that. We all know how big your heart is.
I agree with H.K. Chase will not, or should not see a pitch anywhere near the zone for the next two games. That being the case, with Howard looking as lost as he is, Werth should get slid in between Utley and Howard but I don't know if Charlie will make that move.
I also agree that it Victorino is as bad off as it sounds like he is, then he should sit. If this was in Philly I would not take him off the roster but rather let him come off the bench and put Frisco in CF but with it being in the AL and having the use of the DH, then I would say that Victorino probably does have to come off the roster. Mayberry is a good option, not sure what he has been doing the last few weeks? Arizona Fall League maybe?
I think game 6 you will see Frisco in LF and Ibanez DH, and Shane at CF but we will see. I do agree, Shane has a huge heart and in no way wants to come out but he probably should.
Also, am I the only one that thinks A-Rod should have been walked in the 8th with first base open? I know it would load the bases with no outs, but considering what was due up after A-Rod I would have chanced it. Luckily it worked out, and hindsight is always 20/20 but I was thinking after Tex's double that I would walk A-Rod. I know its highly unlikely that anyone would walk the bases load but with a 6 run lead, I would have chanced it. Not saying Charlie made the wrong choice either way, just playing Devils Advocate.
Not sure if anyone else saw this.
@ Ed,
I love Charlie's response "If I can steal signs, I will"
-If a team is dumb enough to make their signs so obvious, they have a right to be stolen. As a player, I was certainly looking for something to tip me off
Well as a former pitcher, and I say that light heartedly as I was never anything of importance, but as someone who pitched, stealing signs did bother me but at the same point, it was on my catcher and I to work around it. Changing up signs is not all that hard to do. If you are obvious about your signs and someone standing at 2nd base can steal them then so be it. I do however have a problem if there is a camera in center field and the bull pen is then relaying those signs to the plate. That I find to be very wrong.
Too many fans are idiots. Too many fans take everything out of context and make personal attacks against any player who has had an off-year. Were I a player, I'd take the Steve Carlton approach and never talk to the media.
I hope Hamels wears a bulletproof vest for his next start, because with some of the clowns aiming at him, he may need it. Everyone says he is gutless, mentally weak, etc. etc. But it takes someone unusually strong to go out every five days under such a barrage of personal attacks.
Charlie didn't have such a good day yesterday. I thought he should have brought Bruntlett or someone else to bunt Ruiz to second in the 8th inning. And, he probably should have left Victorino in and put Francisco in left. (Not sure about the extent of Victorino's injury.
However, I think the Phillies have a good shot at Game 6. They got to Petitte in Game 3 and he is coming off of 3 days rest which he is not used to doing.
If the Phillies win in Game 6, then I think you go to Happ for Game 7. Hamels has had 4 post-season starts and really hasn't had a good outing. He doesn't seem to be reacting well to things that are going to happen in the course of a baseball game such as errors or bad calls.
Pedro game 6
hamels starts in 7 and then lee after aboiut 4 innings or so see how cole is doing
Excellent win especially after the heart wrenching loss in game 4. What a team.
On to game 6. Pettitte on 3 days rest is probably better than any other options so I expect the Phils to be able to score some runs and get to the bullpen early. i expect the same if they change their minds and go with another pitcher. Pedro is on full rest but he hasn't pitched on 4 days rest in a while. He will have adrenaline helping him along.
It was a positive night for the Phils. Even Howard gave me some signs of hope because he started to lay off seom breaking balls. I think that is always the first sign that he is locked in. The hitting usually comes shortly thereafter.
Pedro will actually have an extra day's rest, for a total of 5 days. I agree with you joedad that his adrenaline will fuel him for awhile.
Let's not even talk about game 7 until it becomes a certainty that there will be one. Until then, focus on one game at a time, and that's game 6.
Ed R, you are right, it will be 5 days rest. Even better, he gets another day's rest.
Game 6 is an elimination game for the Phils so they will throw any pitcher out there that is available (Lee is probably the only one not available). No more talk about who will pitch game 7 until they win game 6. Hamels could pitch in relief in game 6. Keep in mind that he dominated the first time through the lineup and has a history of doing that, even this year. If he can dominate for 1 to 3 innings in relief, it get's the Phils that much closer to winning game 6.
There is no patent on signs, there are no rules that say you can't steal signs. What's so taboo about it? The more and more I think about it, the more I would actually encourage stealing signs. Even if they used a camera… is there even a precedence to do anything about it?
May I suggest "Mr. November" for Chase Utley?
Is it just me or did anyone else want to reach through the tv and wipe that arrogant,smug grin off Johnny Damon's face in the 9th inning last night.??….it made the final strikeout all that more sweet….
Great win by the Fightins….one game at a time….ONE GAME AT A TIME…
No fat lady yet…
We cannot call Utley that until we win it. Game 6 is what it is all about. It is sure fun speculating about Game 7 but there is no Game 7- it still has that * next to it, if necessary. Phils offense finally stopped swinging for HRs all night and took what the Yanks gave them. The Yanks have been doing that all series so far. Vic and Rollins played like top of the order guys.
I definitely like our chances with a short rested Pettitte and Pedro and his fortitude. Happ hasn't even been warming up so he is either hurt or they are saving him for something. If Pedro falters early maybe Happ comes in then.
Myers is a jerk. I like the fact that he said something but now is not the time to start this crap. He won't be here next year anyway. Hamels should get crap for what he said and his teammates should be pissed but now is not the time to bring it out into the media. How did it get there anyway?
Gooooooood morning Phillies Nation!
I decided to do something that I don't normally do: I read the game thread from yesterday and I am glad that I did. I'm so proud of our fan base. There is still a lot of life left in our fans and this team… rather than getting down, we looked at the situation for what it was and rallied. Girardi made a huge gamble by going with three pitchers on short rest and you have to realize that the rotation has now turned over in our favor. We have the match-ups we want and if we can get to game 7, you have to feel really good about this lineup seeing CC for the third time in 10 days.
We're a better road team… have been all year… why can't us? Andy Pettitte is not going to lay down but the sun is shining this morning and our guys have dealt a huge blow. There is a storm brewing… the question marks surrounding Joe Girardi's decision to go with a 3 man rotation loom large. Just this morning, I have heard these comments: "How can you have a $200 million payroll and not have a reliable fourth starter?" and "If the Yankees lose this series, Joe Girardi will likely be fired."
The pressure is on; it won't be easy but it never is. NY played a great game yesterday and we still won… we need to keep getting timely hits and play better defensively if we want to win game 6. Hopefully, Howard uses this day off to spend some extra time in the batting cages (and shave that stuff off of his face).
Between that and Texiera's comment that "there are the Yankees and there's everyone else" I wanted to jump through the TV and beat the crap out of every single player not named Derek Jeter and Rivera.
Smug, arrogent just like their fanbase who think this is over. Yes, the Yanks have momentum and are going home. But they are a facing a team who is not afraid of them, who is with them step for step.
and +250 for our fans, they were outstanding last night and for the other 2 games. Yes maybe more Yanks fans then we wanted in CBP but they were certainly drowned out for the majority of the 3 games.
None of these losses were on them, that's for sure
First of all, the Yankees were playing grab ass on the pitchers mound in between pitches in Yankee Stadium so I doubt Bowa's claim. It is a strategy to slow down the Phillies bats or to slow down their own pitchers.
Second of all, stealing signs is a part of the game. Players and coaches on the bench and the bullpen should look for signs from the catcher, from the 3rd base coach, from the opposing bench, etc. whenever possible. It might sound elementary to some but that is why there is so much attempt at deception when giving signs. I am not sure if cameras are prohibited or not. If they are not, then I assume all teams use them also.
What a game! What! A! Game!
I knew the Phellas had it in them.
Love how the opposing batters try to slow down Lee's breakneck pace by screwing around in the box and calling time. Posada got it once, and not getting it the second successive time was a wonderful thing … Lee didn't falter, tossed one right in there for a strike, and make Posada's strikeout that much more beautiful.
I love it.
"how can a team with a $200M payroll not have a reliable 4th starter?"
Because they blew their wad on all of those huge contracts! It's like buying a Porsche, but all you can do is sit it in your driveway because you can't afford insurance or gas to drive the damn thing.
Stealing signs is part of the game.
Clearly both teams are worried about it. I've seen both the Phils and Yanks using multiple signs — even with NO ONE on base.
LAst night, Fox had some great shots of Lee switching the grip in his glove right before the pitch. He'd start with changeup grip and then throw a fastball. Seems like they were worried about the first-base coach getting a peak at something or that Lee might be tipping his pitches.
All this kind of stuff — stealing signs, players getting hit, a little trash talk, tipping pitches — is what makes for a great, heated playoff series. Gotta love it.!
This IS an awesome series so far, I wonder how the ratings are compared to the past several WS? Personally, I could give a sh!t about the ratings, but I'm just curious, because the 2 best teams are playing, you'd think more people would be watching. And then , of course, you have your Yankee bandwagon fans, like my friend who doesn't even mention baseball all season, and now all of a sudden he's calling me and giving me crap about the games, since he's a BIG Yankee fan. Ha, give me a break!
Andrew, that was a great play by Lee. Posada thought he could fluster Lee but Lee turned it around on him.
Some food for thought:
Andy Pettitte on three days rest has a career record of 4-6 with an ERA well over 4.
Hasn't pitched on three days rest since 2006, when he was 34. He's now 37. That's a big three years in the life of a pitcher. You just don't recover as fast.
Pedro will be pitching on 5 days rest.
Doesn't mean we're going to win. But it's something.
We need to get past Game 6 first guys! Pedro does best on lots of rest. But we will see how he does. I look for Happ et al to back him up.
IF there is a game 7 I expect Hamels to start but on a short leash. Closer will be Lee if we are lucky.
Odds of taking two at New York are low but not impossible.
Whatever happens, can we stop looking for someone to blame? Someone wins and someone loses. The Yankees are a good team – they will hit the best pitchers. They have good pitchers who are hard to hit. Same for the Phillies.
Enjoy the ride – 28 other teams are home watching. I would rather love the angst of watching these games rather than not!
Go Phillies!
Bob Kahn…
And to take your point….."28 teams are home watching."…….a step further….
The Phillies and their fans…..that's all of us…..are participating in a MEANINGFUL baseball game in November……that's NOVEMBER….it's a super thrill to be thinking about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and watching the Phillies defend their title at the same time…
Yeah…enjoy the ride!
Game 6 is a very winnable game… it really does depend on whether Andy Pettitte will be ready to pitch on short rest and that is a HUGE question mark. Think about it… being 37 and a veteran, his body is now very much dependent on his routine… For instance, his first day off, he might tired and used to taking it easy. Second day, he's probably sore. Third day, he might still be sore but he's able to throw without feeling tired. Fourth day, his pitches are getting some of that bite back… Fifth day, he's ready to go. What happens when he doesn't have that fourth day? What happens when you see a pitcher for the second time in four days? Hopefully, it's a feast for our guys!
The weather reports is calling for rain/snow in New York on Thursday night. This means game 7 may be pushed back a day to Friday which means that Cliff Lee could pitch that game on short rest.
Phils need to win game 6 first, but suddenly the Phils' chances for game 7 got a lot better.
what weather reports call for snow?
well a chance of snow on Thursday night, but definitely rain.
Thought that this was interesting… Pettitte has NOT been lights out in prior series deciding starts. In a fairly large sample size (40+ innings), he has given up better than 20 runs. His ERA is a ho-hum 4.54 in these types of games… and that's on normal rest.
Giddy up…
It might snow on Thursday… I would love to see MLB push it back to Friday but I doubt that will happen. Tomorrows game goes off as scheduled.
I'm fine with Wednesday, Thursday. Pettite should be very hittable on three days rest. Unfortunately Pero will be hittable also. Should be a high scoring affair. Phils rock in these type of games. Yanks bull pen isn't built for it.
Game 7 will be all hands on deck. Don't get down on Cole. His arm is shot(I agree with Kerrigan). He's only good for 50/60 pitches. Use Cole for 3, then go Happ/Blanton/Lee in the middle and close out with Park/Madson/Lidge/Eyre. * I didn't like what Cole said, But i understand were he's coming from. On the flip side Lidge's blank stare pisses me off much more, but that's just me.
Phils will do it!
I only half agree with the idea Utley won't see anything to hit. If the guys in front of him set the table, and particularly if we can get something started at the bottom of our DH'd line-up, there's no choice except to pitch to him.
The big question, I guess, is what happens to the line-up if Shane's taken out of it? Werth in the 2-hole? Ibanez?
Ed R, I usually dont disagree with you, but I disagree that Myers shouldnt have said anything. Like it or not, Cole Hamels has NOT performed to HIS OWN ABILITY. He CAN be a great pitcher, but overall, has not been an Ace this season (with the exception of a few great starts), and postseason has not been any better at all! Cole Hamels whether he spoke 95% about wanting to ball screwed up and made it sound like he just wants to go home. Cole Hamels NEEDED to have a fir lit under him, and have him get PISSED. Too often he has gotten flustered, but I havent seen that Pissed off I want to prove something Cole Hamels we saw last year. This MIGHT just have been that thing that Cole Needed to get Pissed and throw a gem IF we get to game 7.

We're all made of dreams.
Desigual is different to all others in the industry with its colourful bold designs and fun but fashionable clothes; Cirque du Soleil is likewise completely unique to any other, with its radically different take on live entertainment. And for these two inspirational brands to join was nothing more than the most natural thing in the world, given their shared core values. From this fusion of universes a new child was born: the "Desigual inspired by Cirque du Soleil" collection; clothes that were fun to make and turn out to be just as much fun to wear!
Desigual drew its inspiration from the Cirque du Soleil shows and elements of the creativity of Cirque du Soleil are to be found in each and every one of the garments and accessories in the collection: they express the rich colourful characters of the different universes, the originality of the costumes and, above all, the vast array of emotions drawn by the shows.
Let's not be the same! Vive la différence!

TROUPE is inspired by Cirque's most thrilling achievements in theatrical magic and acrobatic mastery while featuring baroque elements of traditional circus. Remarkable details crafted in gold, blue and red foil, the hand painted panels as well as the prints of characters and scenes from the different shows create unique garments that remain true to the Desigual identity.
HUMAN EXPRESSIONS draws its inspiration from the night. With its provocative, précieuses look; it brings together concepts from the world of the theatre and dramatic arts with a distinct sexiness. Beautiful red flowers, character faces, expressive touches and striped prints are embellished with elaborate cotton embroidery and sequins combined with flashes of silver and red foil.

Abbado's memory honoured with prestigious Gramophone Award
Deutsche Grammophon is proud to announce that the late Claudio Abbado was posthumously honoured last Thursday night with the coveted Gramophone Recording of the Year Award for his very last recording – Bruckner's Symphony No. 9 with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra. An Accentus Music production, the release was judged best in the orchestral category and triumphed over more than 600 other competitors to win the evening's top prize as well.
The two awards were presented to the conductor's son Sebastian Abbado and to Mark Wilkinson, President of Deutsche Grammophon, by BBC Radio 3 Controller Alan Davey, to rapturous applause from all present at London's St John's Smith Square, signalling the cherished place held within the industry by this much-missed and irreplaceable artist.
On its release in 2014, Mark Wilkinson described the Bruckner as "a fitting, final tribute to the unique artistry of a true master of classical music recording". At Thursday's ceremony, James Jolly, Editor-in-Chief of Gramophone magazine, also paid tribute to this outstanding recording, saying, "this is very special on so many counts: the last performance that Claudio Abbado conducted, a live concert with his hand-picked Lucerne orchestra and a work that crowned a compositional career. Beauty, intensity, intelligence, power – all come together to make for a lasting experience of huge rewards."
