Italianate houses and contains elaborate and rare
interior decorative painting dating from the 1880s.
Completed in 1860 by Edward and Anna Young, it was
home to five generations of the Young family. Among
its many treasures are family and period
furnishings, marble mantles, and a black and white
marble tiled entry. The five-acre site includes

Guidance for Public Act 94-1019
On July 10, 2006, Governor Rod R. Blagojevich signed Senate Bill 2795 into law, creating Public Act 94-1019. Public Act 94-1019 allows new options for school district reorganization that have not been available in the past, while retaining current existing options, and standardizes the reorganization process from petition requirements to referendum vote. Public Act 94-1019 also eliminates duplicate sections of the School Code by consolidating four of the school district reorganization School Code Articles (Articles 7A, 11A, 11B, and 11D) into a new Article 11E.
The State Board of Education has developed the following documents to help school districts and local citizens interested in investigating school district reorganization options under new Article 11E. A link to Public Act 94-1019 is also included below.
- ISBE Non-Regulatory Guidance (2006)
- Citizen's Guidance to School District Reorganization - temporarily unavailable
- Comparison Chart (The Comparison Chart is also included within the Public Act 94-1019 Guidance Document)

So much for worrying about who the Game 1 starter should be. Charlie Manuel made a wise decision as Cliff Lee tossed a complete game to open the Phillies 2009 postseason.
Lee absolutely dumbfounded the Rockies lineup over nine innings, leading the Phillies to a 5-1 victory. There were butterflies to start the game, as the Rockies put two men on base, only to watch Lee finagle his way out of the jam. The tall lefty then settled in, calming his nerves in the second on an inning-ending double play by Clint Barmes. It was smooth sailing from then until the ninth.
In the final frame, just when it appeared a shutout was in order, a clearly amped-up Lee allowed a single by Carlos Gonzalez, who then scored on a gap-double by Troy Tulowitzki.
For the Fightin's, the fun began in the fifth inning when Ubaldo Jimenez lost all control. Jayson Werth kicked off the frame with a walk and Raul Ibanez doubled him home, shooting it past first baseman Todd Helton into the corner. Two batters later, Carlos Ruiz hit a liner to right field that skipped past right fielder Brad Hawpe to score Ibanez, making it 2-0. The floodgates would then open.
The Phillies would score three more in the sixth, chasing the starter Jimenez, who had been virtually un-hittable through four innings. Chase Utley led things off with a single, after two awful previous plate appearances. Ryan Howard then smashed one into the wind to the opposite field, only to have the wind play tricks with it, and drop off of the glove of the backpedaling Carlos Gonzalez in left. Gonzalez himself smashed against the wall, and Utley easily crossed home plate to make it a three run advantage.
Jayson Werth then annihilated a pitch that headed toward the left-center field seats and would have easily been a bomb had the jet stream not be present above CBP. It barely stayed in play, and hit off of the top of the wall, just above the reach of Dexter Fowler. Werth ended up at third base, sending Howard home. 4-0. After a pitching change, Raul Ibanez singled to right, bringing Werth home and putting the Phils up by a five spot.
Offensively, you just never know when this team will strike, and they did quickly and efficiently on this beautiful afternoon. And although the festivities began with an anxious sigh as Jimenez pumped 100 m.p.h. fastballs through the zone, the Phils pounced at the perfect moment and sent the Rockies starter into tizzy. As is customary by this group, they put together back-to-back big innings and it was more than enough for the dazzling Cliff Lee.
He was brought here for one reason: to win big games. The fans looked slightly disheveled early on, but they stuck with the mid-season acquisition through the bumps. All-in-all, it was a powerful performance by all involved. The lineup from top to bottom came up large (every player got a hit for the Phils) and the defense was just as steady. Several routine plays were anything but due to the whipping winds, but that's why the Phils as a unit are one of the best with the leather.
Phillies Nation can now breathe a little easier with a Game 1 win in the books.

Lee came into the game as a question mark after a shaky September but he is leaving as an exclamation point. If this is the beginning of a run like the one Lee had to start his career as a Phillies player then things are looking REAL good.
No surprise here. Not at all. Don't start fantasizing about the NLCS…… Take one game at a time.. I guess we have every right to trash that misguided and delusional Rockies' fan, but that poster really doesn't deserve the attention… That poster's lack of basic post season baseball knownledge is truly said. I'll enjoy the win for about 5 more minutes, before I start looking ahead to Game 2. Great win Phillies! Very impressive. We go for the choke hold on this series tomm…
Nice! Man that is exactly what we wanted to see…the defense of the title is ON…
My dad and I are on our way home from the game. Wow, did we have a great time. The last post-season game we went to together was Game 5 of the 1975 World Series when we lived in Cincinnati. I thought I was going to pass out from screaming in the 9th! One down, ten to go!
Brett Favre the baseball analyst? What can't he do…. Ricky B is a total douche… He won't stop trying to be a Mitch Williams reject. It's almost unbearable. Good to see Geoff Jenkins again….
Great game by Cliff Lee and every Phils player in the lineup had at least one hit . I hope Cole uses his curve ball more in tomorrows start and, of course, I hope the curve is effective. COle needs three pitches.
GOOOO PHILS !!!! Live my red pinstripes. Joe Blanton is an absolute doll, a real macho man. I hope he gets a start.

How does Bud Sleazy keep his job?…. Phils fans get robbed with two day games, and Phils/Rockies fans that have tickets to Game 3 will be forced to sit through the blistering cold. With temps predicted to be 30 degrees at game time, along with some snow showers, Bud sticks with his decision…. He has a gold opp to make amends some what by changing the start time in Game 3 to the afternoon, but you know he would do it…. If our post run is afft. in any way shape or fashion by this boneheaded decision I going to protest at the MLB head quaters….
won't.. post season run….
Man sure was boneheaded to start Lee in game 1…….
Great game all around, the pitching, hitting and fielding in those conditions. Phils showed up to play and showed that they mean business. That Jimenez kid is nasty but I loved our approach at the plate from the 4th inning on.
Number 1B: To quote a coaching friend of ours "time's yours". Go get em Cole!

Watching the Yankees-Twins game, just realized that CHOOCH > Posada
Nice solid win. As was proven last year; the Phils don't need that idiot Selig to win a World Series. Start times and playing conditions be damned!!! This is Philly and we work, play and live in all situations. Cold in Colorado? Please!!!
I was at the park today and it was magic. Got to hang out in Centerfield messing with Dexter Fowler the entire game. My throat is going to regreat all the yelling tomorrow but tonight I'm feeling no pain! Can't wait for Cole to get out there tomorrow just wish I could get out of work and go back to the park.
This team won with only 2/3 rds of their offense in place & it's always a pleasure to watch. Rollins, Victorino & Utley were once again more silent than potent. And we all know what the offense is capable of when those cylinders are firing.
I cant help but believe even if the Phils falter some in Colorado, they will wind up in the NLCS – that I am confident about.
Go Phils! Great job by Lee.
Brooks, all 3 went 1 for 4. They can't hit .500 every game.
I am expecting Utley especially to step up big.
That would be icing.
That's not the point… Cole made that very clear earlier. The WBC pushed back the season a week… You have to think at some point rain will play a factor in any one of these ps series al/nl…. Add the snow possb here or any other weird factors and you're playing with fire… Bud's boneheaded decision on Game 5 could've cost us dearly last October…. As far as the fans sitting thru the cold… It's a valid issue… In 2007 Rockies' fans and the Rockies front office had issue with the night games in that NLDS. By the mid-game the temp will drop even further below the expected 30 degrees game time temp.. Factor in the wind chill and that's brutal..Neither fans bases are soft. Ditto w/both ball clubs… A 9:37pm est for both Game 3 and a potential Game 4 is absolutely insane…
They will hit. If you told me those 3 would go 1 for 4 and every starter would have a hit (with Lee pitching) I would have chalked up a game 1 win and that is exactly what happened.
I was very encouraged by Lee. He looks sharp and more importantly looked fresh. Very pleased that Charlie correctly went with Lee and kept Hamels on normal rest, which is his preference.
Don't think an extra day of rest for the bullpen is a small feat either. This will go a lonnnngggg way in keeping this magical run going.
Time to put a foot on the neck of this team and take a 2-0 lead. I'm sick and tired of this Phillies team getting constantly overlooked. If they can repeat, it might be even sweeter.
Also in my opinion, if the Phils get a 2-0 lead you start Blanton in game 3 and save Happ for a potential game 4. In the other scenario, I think you go to Happ in Game 3.
I am curious to see where Martinez fits into the plans for this round?
Football is diff from baseball in that regard. FB games are much more electric and you move around a lot more. In baseball there's a lot more sitting still… We live and die by the long ball…. You saw how the wind robbed us of 2-3 hrs today. Those late starts in Col could cost us some more hrs…
The Phillies are playing on the field and dealing with the media like professional champions. This was a reaffirming and confidence building win! I hate the Rockies.
Carlos Ruiz is gradually becoming one of the top receivers in the National League. He currently is a bargain who plays seriously and with enthusiasm both defensively and offensively. I believe he definitely has the potential to hit .300.
@ Phillies Nation: You might consider adding some variations to the Ashburn and Jeltz awards. Considering that the Phillies have a long and rich history of performers and non-performers in all aspects of the game, you could give an outstanding hitting performance the Dick Allen or Chuck Klein award. Similarly, a stellar pitching performance could receive a Robin Roberts or Steve Carlton award. Also, a poor pitcher's outing could be given the coveted Adam Eaton distinction, whereas an absence of clutch hits in a game could receive the Bobby Wine or Jeltz awards. I think you get the idea. Use your imagination. There are many names and qualities to choose from.
As much as I don't like Bud, and believe me, I think the guy is a douche, his hands are pretty much tied when it comes to deciding game times. The networks tell him who they want to see and when. He can say what he wants, and I guess ultimately he has the say but at the risk of losing money from Fox or TBS, he won't say anything. He took a lot of crap for fighting as hard as he did to get the World Series games moved up an hour from when they started last year to when they will start this year. And that was all because of the networks. Take today for example. The Phillies played at 2:37 simply because the networks wanted the bigger market, the Yankees on at 6:00. And of course the west coast team had to play at 9:37.
Clearly they don't pay attention because you can play the game at 6:37 or 9:37 and Dodger fans will still be late. There is no reason the Phillies couldn't have started at 4:00pm. Heck, yesterdays Twins and Tigers game had the highest rating of any baseball game in over two months. And these are teams with small fan bases as compared to the Phillies, Yankees, Cardinals and Dodgers.
Am I happy about the Phillies start times? Absolutely not. Fortunately I can get done work early to see them. And as much as I love to rip Bud Selig, and I do. This has more to do with the networks than it does with him.
Why today was so great. Lee for one was dominate after he got out of that first inning. No help from Howard. The phillies offense was patient today. They took there shots and put the Rockies away. No homeruns which is even better. It was a tough day with the wind and our fielders did a great job making the catches. We also got aggresive on the bases which I loved. There catcher has a bad throwing arm and we picked them apart. Overall just a great day and did not need the pen. Hopefully Cole can repeat. If we can go up 2-0 then we end this on the Road. Let the Dodgers and Cards kill each other.
tomorrow is a dangerous game…Hamels could get shelled, then all of a sudden the Rockies will have the momentum…it all comes down to how Cole pitches…
nice game by cliff lee…he obviously benfitted from rest and figured out what was wrong…i hope the same goes for cole tomorrow and he uses his curve ball more.
Cole is gonna be damn good tomorrow. I am now convinced there is something to the Rockies being mediocre against LHP. The Phillies got to Jimenez and if they are as patient with Cook, they will once again do damage.
Keep on running, keep moving those runners. We are the better team. PERIOD.
Agreed, GW, we 've got to get Cole a W so he can have his mystique back. Get to Aaron Cook. Thanks for hitting your spots, Cliff, but mind you don't suck next time you're out.
I kinda like the varying awards, but why chance karma now?
My boldest prediction thus far: Lidge will get a scoreless save when he has the chance. He will also get a win.
Great performances all round….everyone showed up. Fortunately the initial post season jitters didn't cost us. Good to see Lee rise above it and get that uber focus a big game pitcher needs. I was so impressed with the plate discipline and how intelligently they dismantle the Rox ace. Other than the fielding burps in the first two innings, they flashed the leather like the class of the NL should. Some aggressive baserunning, tempered by some little league decisions on the base paths.
HK – selig keeps his job because he is the dark lord's apprentice
Josephine of Haddonfield – I've been looking at all of Hamels starts from day 1 til 9/28 (that as far as the database I use goes). So far it looks like many of the outings where he gave up the fewest runs were games inwhich he used his curveball more than usual. Is this causal or just coincidence, I can't say yet. But from watching all his starts it seemed clear that his change-up was more effective only when he could flawlessly locate his FB. Otherwise he became predictable as the foul ball fiestas teams had against him attests to. It makes sense then another pitch could keep hitters more off balance and actually help set up the change-up when his FB failed to. I mean how far can a 92+ mph 4 seamer and a change-up go when the entire league is spending extra time in the video room and are gunning for you.
His last 2 starts if I remember correctly, he hardly threw any. And those he did we're terribly executed…we'll see. Hopefully he'll have command of his FB like he did for that complete game shut-out against LA and he won't even it need the curveball. He only threw 3 that game.
What ever the outcome of this game or season, next year Hamels will come back a smarter, more developed pitcher….I would say a cy youngish season in 2010.
Mike D. – what's your track record on your predicitions…Lidge getting a save, okay but getting a win….what transpires to get the game to that point is to Revelations scary.
I agree Edr…. it's all about the Beer Ads…. About Cole? Don Baylor's game plan to beat Lee blew up in his face. The winds won't be nearly as much of a factor as it was in Game 1.
So with Cole, I think the Rockies plan(which they've used when facing Cole before) will be to attack Cole from the 1st pitch… Cool needs that curve ball to help keep the Rockies honest…. He can still pitch well w/o it, but a curve with bite potentially would allow him to completely dominate the Rockies lineup….. Can't wait for Game 2….
I am SO GLAD to see the Phillies beat the Rockies. I HATE the Rockies. The Rockies "fans" are the most pathetic fair weather fans in the country. In Colorado any time prior to them actually making the playoffs, you seriously wonder if there is a "professional" ball club in Colorado. All of sudden the Rockies are in the playoffs, and "Rocktober" every. Lets go with "Hunt for RED October II". I believe it will definately depend on which Cole Hamels shows up tomorrow. If he is lights out and puts the Rockies away, the series is ours. If they get to him, and beat the Phillies lose, and head to Colorado, the series is in question. I 100% agree with Harry Kalas as stated above. The temp and wind chill in Denver is a definate home field advantage for the Rockies. I also agree that it is complete BS that those games are played at night in Denver, when played afternoons in Philly. Lets go get game 2. We need Cole to look like the Cole of last seasons postseason. Either way, I was especially glad to wear my Phillies gear today out here in Colorado.
brian of co –
send them one ping….I suppose it's the 2 hr delay…right it's two hours that could be the issue…the game would be on at 12:30….not they couldn't put the game back to 4 which would put the game on at 2. It is hard not to suspect conspiracy since Selig legacy is parity and the small market approach. Perhaps he's banking on the Cinderella Effect to spark ratings.
Happ went to school in Illinois and has experience with cold weather pitching. Also the crap we played in last year wasn't exactly hospitible. With temps. that cold do they still use the humidoor?
Torre burning up his bull pen….that what worries me about the dodgers so keep dragging them out there by the 5 th inning Torre…
j reed the Phillies can obviously take the Rockies in Colorado, even with it cold, but I still think its BS. I just cant stand the Rockies.
HK – the weather is perfect for a curve ball. Cool air = denser air = more drag = more bite on breaking pitches, but slows down fastballs (mind you that the initial velocity is the speed it leaves the hand, the final velocity is what slower as it reaches the plate. the former is a function of arm speed, the latter is a function of drag which is dependent on air density). But cold air is a sinker ballers best friend.
so brian do they still use the humidoor in the temps below freezing…just curious.
The dehumd really isn't needed with the weather, but I have a feeling they will do it anyway if they think it will increase the Rockies chances…
If the series is tied going to Col… The Phils would have no problem trying to close it out on the road and on their field. We were the best road team in MLB for a reason….
Yeah, Torre is burning up his BP just like last yr….
Correction: Per MLB, in 2007 every team were required to store all baseball in humidors… Rockies introduced the concept and began using it in 2002. It's said a humidor's sole purpose is to insure that all baseballs stay the same temp/humidity. Baseballs travel 9% further w'o the humidor and baseballs become bouncier as well… The humidor in Coors Field is mainly needed for the Colorado's thin air…
Good thing HK stepped in, because honestly I had no idea.
humidors also effect pitchers…Prior to 2002 the baseballs in Coors field would dry up and shrink a little in the Denver thin air and humidity causing the seam to sink in to the baseball. Pitchers couldn't find the right grip with these baseballs and it gave a huge advan to the hitter.
hk -yeah, crazy about the ball shrinking….i read a paper published by two physists who confirmed basically what mlb should have already known before granting a the rox a franchise…the ball will travel farther in the thinner air. They confirmed that on average, it traveled 20 ft further. No wonder Helton stayed. I figured the thinner air would be a plus for fastballs but breaking pitches would suffer alot. I thought pitchers would compensate by increasing grip pressure by apparently as the study noted the shrinking seam issue. Why mlb didn't require them to dome their park is beyond me and hope the twins new digs will have a retractable dome cause its like "piss freezing in your bladder" cold for more than half the year there. At least the Marlins will have a dome. I think that a part of their revenue sharing allowance should go to all the clubs that had to endure the game cancellations because of the monsoon season rains. How many rotations got screwed up and bull pen taxed because of those frickin' rain delays. MLB, proving once again that it's still in the dark ages…open stadium in the tropics…in the summer time…open stadium in the mile high city…it boggles the mind.
j reed; the last I heard about the Twin's proposed new stadium is that it will be open air. No dome. No retractable roof or dome. Talk was that one of the reasons for the Twins building a new stadium was to get away from a covered playing field. Best of luck to them and whoever has to play against the Twins up there early and late in the seasons. Will need thermal underclothing and whatever else.
I remember the first time I went to see the Rox.. the Phils had taken a west coast trip and one stop was an 18 run pasting of the Rockies in Colorado. Excited to see what the Phils could do at home vs them and Terry Muholland pitching, I watched as the Phils lost a gem, 1-0. If I remember correctly, Muholland pitched a gem complete game but the Phils offense sputtered. Not quite what I expected.
This is all pretty overwhelming. The Phils, as WS champions are making a serious run at another championship and we are part of it all. Can it really happen?
I'm glad to see someone specifically mention (Sam Donnellon of all people) the most unheralded at-bat of the game. Pedro Feliz moving Ibanez over to third for the first out in a 1-0 game. Feliz has a 2-0 count and took a short swing on an outside pitch just to tap it to the second baseman. That forced the infield up and put pressure on Jimenez. He decided to pitch to Ruiz who had a great at bat and drove in the run.
Werth would get second voting for Ashburn. Threw out a guy at 3rd early to end an inning. Cause havoc from first with Ibanez up. I was surprised by the poor effort from Helton on the double to score the first run. The triple knocked in one and he then scored another insurance run.
The Feliz at-bat was nice, but let's keep things in perspective here. It didn't end up making a bit of difference in the game. After the error, Raul would have scored from anywhere on the field, and it's not like they nailed down a 1-run victory anyway.
jeff – "no help from howard"? He was 2-4, the wind robbed him of a home run and the two runs he accounted for alone were enough to secure the win for Lee. The worst thing about howard-haters is that most of them don't even know how to pick their spots. wait till he has a genuinely bad game to criticize him. when he helps, say so.
j reed – I think you're making too much out of your curveball analysis. I understand what you're saying about the numbers indicating he should throw more curveballs. But I don't think you can draw a conclusion from the numbers. Pitchers either have pitches on given days or they don't. And if Hamels throws a few to several curveballs in warm-ups and says to himself, "this pitch is crap today," I personally would rather see him stay away from it. I think he throws more curveballs when he thinks he has a good one, and lives off the change-up when he thinks his curveball is bad. Who should argue with the reigning WS and NLCS MVP?
That said, I can't wait to see Hamels try to top that start by Lee last night.
J-Roll's hard left turn leading to smooth basket catch of the pop-up was a beautiful thing to watch. Never got tired of the replay. Jimmy is a guy who can help the team tremendously even if he doesn't go 3 for 4. When he makes plays like that, the rest of the world can see his greatness, too.
As for the debate over Hamels's pitch selection, a few additional curve balls might be nice, but it's less about the absolute numbers and more about the spots he's choosing. If he's getting everyone out in the first half of the game with change-ups than some key curve balls late in the game could work. Not to be a cliche, however, it's all about command. If he has great control of his fastball, hitting corners, opposing teams will be in trouble. Look at Greg Maddux. All he did for 20 years was throw different speeds of pitches that generally lacked eye-popping breaks. But he won all those games because he hardly ever threw fastballs down the middle of the plate. This should be Cole's primary concern as well, even if he only throws three curve balls all night.
Sorry Papa, but jreed and others were right about Cole needing the curve ball today… The reason why Cole doesn't have better career numbers is due to the lack of a third pitch… He seems a little behind(ws run withstanding) I know
That curve (a good one) will freeze Rockies who are coming into day's game mad and embrass by their Game 1 performance…. Lee shut down the Rocks, but Col can still mash…. The only concern I have about Cole's curve is that when it's off it tends to land in the perfect LH's dream zone for upper deck moon shots. We'll just have wait and see what happens. out to right field. I think Cole will be fine today,. I also think we win today and go up 2-0….
Question for you all.
Would you rather face the Dodgers or Cardinals?
I personally am struggling with this as I view the Cardinals as the better, team, though maybe not if they lose to the Dodgers, but still, the Cardinals scare me more. Playing the Dodgers however means the Phillies do not have home field like they would if they played the Cardinals. You can say, well the Phillies won the W.S without home field in the LCS and WS but the fact is, it still matters, they were 7-0 at home last year in the playoffs. Clearly playing at home matters.
The Cardinals also have all right handed starters which goes well with our left heavy offense. The Dodgers can throw Wolf and Kershaw out there, an option the Cardinals don't really have. Though the Cardinals offense in my opinion is much better than that of the Dodgers.
Just curious what everyones thoughts were.
Papa Thompson is right, the Twins new ballpark, Target Field is completely open air. Which totally blows for opposing teams in May, April and September/October. Though I wonder if that will somehow give them better home field advantage over that awful but very Twins friendly dome.
Worried about Cole today. "Mr. Diva" is complaining about not pitching at either the regular afternoon time or at night. I'm afraid he'll psych himself out so completely that he'll blow the game. I DON'T want to face the weird weather (which could cause who knows what kind of weird problems) in CO without a 2-0 lead.
I would feel a little better about today if Cole wasn't 0-6 with a 5.44 ERA this year in day games.
This is a must win game for the Phillies. They can not allow the Rockies to get any momentum heading back home. They need to put the Rockies on life support today and King Cole has to be the guy to do it. Hopefully he took notes from what the Jeweler did yesterday, if anything, he doesn't want to get shown up by Clifton.
I thought the same thing when I saw the clip of Cole complaining about the start time. That is going to be his excuse after the game if he has a poor outing. It almost seemed like he was preparing himself and the fans for a disappointing outting.
What do you mean about weird weather in Colorado? It is supposed to be 31 degrees with a possibility of snow on Saturday. It's ideal for some smashmouth football. Should be a good time.

"Being the defending world champs, I think it's kind of a little weird that we got both games at [2:37 p.m.]," Hamels, Philadelphia's Game 2 starter, said. "I don't think it's fair. I definitely don't think it's fair for the fans. I understand TV ratings, but at the end of the day, most players would rather play when they're most comfortable, and that's kind of what we've been trained to do, and I think it's more fair for us than really the TV ratings."
So Hamels sticks up for the FANS and for HIS TEAM, THE DEFENDING NATIONAL CHAMPS and some people find fault calling him a diva and believe he is saying it in case he needs and excuse for a bad game. Some of you people are pathetic.
Ed R, thanks for the link. I had some other yesterday but they were taken offline quickly.
I disagree about this being a 'must" win although it would make life much easier for them. The Phils are a great road team so even with a loss today they should be able to split in CO. That being said, i think they win today because Cole is a big game pitcher and the Rockies really struggle against lefties.
So…..if Cole kept his mouth shut he would've threw a perfect game today? C'mon son… Ya heard me….. Cole's right… He knows the electricity during the day was going to be loud…. But nothing beats the atmosphere of nite playoff games at the bank…. Bud Sleazy is worst than Don King… We won the division and are The Champs, but the Rockies are getting the VIP treatment in terms of the game atmosph. h/r)…. Day games in Philly, nite games in Col. Cole is 7-5 at home this season with a 3.76 era in 17 home starts(105 inns)… He's 3-6 on the road in 15 road starts with a 4.99 era (88 inns). Cole 5-6 since the A/S break. He gave up 15hrs in the first half and just 9hrs in the 2nd half.
Since the calendar turned to Sept, Hamels is 3-2 in six starts with a 3.32era He pitched 43.1 inns in Sept/October the most inns he pitched in any single month this season. He S/O 40 and wlk 8 and he only gave up 2 hrs.
In 4 day time starts at home this season Cole is 0-3 with an 3.38era
He pitched 21inns, 2hrs, 27 k's, 3 bb….
It's daytime games on the road that has eaten Cole up in 5 daytime road starts Cole is 0-3 with a 7.09 era 26.2 inns
Relax Phillies Nation…..
I think if Hamels wears his log johns in side in "baseball costume" the one with pink flamingos he'll do just fine and have an extra 2 or 3 boxes of tissues in the dugout….but if you consider he is a 2 legged excuse of ball player and a pitcher and a teamate he might have some trouble today….I can hear it now with excuses after he gives up the first 4 runs ….calm down little man you do have the best offense in the national league….oh thats right they don't come thru for Cole Hamels maybe today he'll break that 0-6 daytime excuse ……………………don't forget the flamingo long johns.
Great win for the Phils… Lee does exactly what we brought him here to do. A complete game in his first postseason game… it's pretty clear that Lee likes the big stage.
Rollins deserves a lot of credit for what he did in the field… he secured at least two non-routine outs and in a game like that, outs are just as important as runs. You can't waste opportunities to get guys out…
Werth also came up big… getting on base, playing the field and igniting the fire.
All in all, we played opportunistic baseball; we took extra bases, we didn't leave runners on base, we didn't make costly errors, we stayed away from double plays, we moved runners along and when Jimenez lost control of his fastball we sat on his changeup and hit the ball into the gaps. Colorado has two clear advantages; pen and bench… we didn't have to use either.
joedad…I certainly don't mean to say that the Phillies will lose the series if they lose today but rather that the Rockies are a team who thrive on momentum…give them a foot and they will take a mile. If you don't bury them early then will come back to haunt you. They are like the Twins except with a nicer ball park and less fans. I think the Rockies have a better chance to come back and win the series down 0-2 than the Phillies do of winning the series if they leave Philly tied 1-1. I know that sounds crazy, and maybe I am crazy. Momentum is afterall, only as good as tomorrows starting pitcher.
Papa Thompson – if you re read my analysis of Hamels you will see I qualified alot of my statements with words like "could", "may", or "might". Also, i did say "Is this causal or just coincidence, I can't say yet." I just thought the word hypothesis was a little heavy handed for this blog. But that what it is. I didn't draw any conclusions. I did go on site my own observations not numbers, but what i saw in support of my hypothesis but didn't draw any conclusions otherwise i would have shown the numbers i was spoke of and said something like " and therefore he should throw more curveballs." Instead I said,
"His last 2 starts if I remember correctly, he hardly threw any. And those he did we're terribly executed…we'll see. Hopefully he'll have command of his FB like he did for that complete game shut-out against LA and he won't even it need the curveball. He only threw 3 that game."
Did i conclude he should therefore throw more curveballs? No. if he can perform like he did in that LA game or is locating his fastball then why to do anything else. I think that this is easily inferred from what i originally wrote. Also, it is reasonable to speculate that tim linececum might have thought that Cy Young Award would be a target on his back and so developed that nasty change up in the off season because two pitches now a days with the ever diminishiing strike zone can hamstring you esp. once batters make it a point to spend that extra time in the video room looking for any advantage they can get. I mean three pitches is sort of standard these days for starters. Now do i think Hamels should have done the same in the off season, maybe but he did has less time to prepare and there was the injury issue. Futhermore he has a free pass in my book for taking us to the promised land; a sentiment best expressed when I said,
"What ever the outcome of this game or season, next year Hamels will come back a smarter, more developed pitcher….I would say a cy youngish season in 2010." I think i am acknowledging his talent aplenty with that statement. I don't have an issue with criticism provided your really read what I said and consider the tone with which it is said.
C.C. Phat B*stard pitches 6 2/3 inns against a hung over and exhausted Twin team and now all of sudden he's Schill of 2004(Yankee epic choke job) or Schill/Randy J of 2001 (Yanks lose on walk-off), or the Marlins 2003 (beat Yanks again). The Marlins won it on your field, sprayed Champagne in your lockeroom and then they partied in your City and mated with your New York 'Smores…. If the Twins were rested they would've tatooed.. that Fat B*astard. He had choke written all over his face when the Twins went up 2-0…. Consider yourselves lucky…. This post season is the Yanks to win or lose. If they don't win C.C, A-Rod and the boys will be placed in a wittness protection program. and the Yankees will once again be the Richest Loser in sports.. We beat a real team yesterday. The Yanks beat a shell of a team…. You are the A**clown of the year. Like I keep telling you, win a title retard and then come back….
that's "did i conclude that he shoud throw more curveballls?"
Someone take H.K's blood pressure. He might be on the verge of a stroke.
HK – fight the power. Yeah the yanks get a gassed team and a rookie pitcher…maybe burnett's arm finally falls off tonight. the Yanks are like school in the summer time….no class
No, I'm good Edr…. But do those spilts w Hamles numbers in day games at home make you view Cole chance's today any different? Just curious… I am a bit amped for the Game… I didn't sleep more than 2-3 hours on Tues because I was so excited about the game……
fight the power…. classic! Good one
HK, I wasn't impressed with CC either. He had some decent numbers but was gassed pitching against, as you said, a hungover, exhausted Twins team.
Kalas, now now, we must remember to be PC here on this board. I'm sure you meant to say the little "mentally challenged" man. In any case, I'm wondering how he got out of the schizo ward in the Bronx.
I actually agree with that. 6 2/3 for an $180 million dollar pitcher against a tired, hungover and depleted Twins team and he is God.
I love it!
I don't think the Phillies have gotten enough respect being the defending champions and all. Yesterday seemed like they had a chip on their shoulder and I hope it continues. We all know that if we win this series and play either STL/LA, all the hype will be with them. If we are forunate enough to get back to the WS, the hype will be with the AL team.
Maybe it's just being "in the shadows of the NY, LA and Boston's of the World" but I feel like this team is always overlooked.
well if the dodgers come to town i guess the strating pitching will be in for 3.5 innings and we can expect to face a BP whose arms have been hot glued back on. I mean wolf looked flat but what little confidence did torre show in the guy esp with carpenter struggling. Though I liked seeing Jeff Weaver exact some revenge on the team that chucked after his amazing 2006 WS effort. Talk about head case…you lose your spot in one of the best rotations in the game (halos) because you were 3-10 but also lose it to your younger brother who is a total phenom, only to get traded as a pity project for Dave Duncan to fix. Then you are instrumental in winning the WS only to be rewarded with a pin slip. I 'm amazed the guy isn't at the bar hanging with Jean M ichael Vincent bt now.
Jayson Werth said after yesterday's game that Game 2 is "just as important, if not more important… because if they manage a split, it gives them homefield advantage the same way the Phillies took it in the World Series"
Hamels will be on his game today..
Truthfully HK the splits don't matter to me at all. As Cliff Lee showed yesterday, the regular season really is a whole other animal. What happened May – September matters little if at all once the playoffs begin. Although Cole's numbers blow in day games, and blow less at home I still think that he has the talent and ego to turn it on come 2:37 today. He does not want to relinquish the title of staff Ace so naturally, he is going to have to one up what Cliff Lee did. A CG shutout is pretty much the only way to do it, but hey, I'm not greedy. I'll take a win, I don't care how we get it.
bob – don't disrespect the holy trinity
BSox LAA
with the mere mention of our Flithy Fhillies. We might get slotted for the early morning news hour if we don't learn our place in MLB
Any predictions….ed r., joedad, mike d., hk , don m
Look, Cole stated the obvious (that MLB sucks a big nut) and I respect him for that… maybe he's searching for an excuse IF he doesn't perform but I'm hopeful that we're going to see the reemergence of Hollywood Hamels. I'm hopeful that he comes out with a chip on his shoulder because a.) he was tagged as the game 2 starter b.) MLB screwed us (collectively… I had to sell my tickets today because I couldn't get out of work) c.) this team gets no respect.
Yesterday, Lee pitched a gem and we handed the Rockies a big time loss… realistically, it's going to be really tough for them to win this series because we are clearly the better team… but we are the third story on ESPN. Who gets the headlines? CC Sabathia for pitching 6 2/3 innings and A-Rod for finally getting his postseason RBI. On a side note, I think that Gardenhire is setting up the Yankees; pitching Duensing against CC means that he's got Blackburn, Pavano and Baker to go against the Yankees 2,3 and 4 pitchers and I think that the Twins can still win that series.
Yeah hamels really made his bed with that statement but I like the sentiment and I think he put himself against the wall to get more pumped
I'm going with 6-2 Phillies. Expect a homer from the Big Piece and Raulllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!
I also think we will see a Lights Out showing and I do mean, Lights Out.
Don M. – i heard he preferred the number 2 because of his rest scheldule. I don't know how true that is. that 's what i heard
man mike D. said the same thing but uped the ante and said lidge for the win… that too much pants crapping for my blood
j reed, a critisism of you, whenever you make a gramaticul eror or mispeling, you feel comp[elled to corect yer mistakes. No ned for that becuz we can undrestand what you aer writing.
j-reed. To my understanding, Charlie went with Lee in game 1 because it was on his normal rest. Using Hamels in game 1 would have meant going on short rest and it is well documented that Cole does not like to,(I won't say refuses to) pitch on short rest. Pitching today allows Cole to go on normal rest. Cole seems to know his body and so I guess his reluctance to pitch on short rest is due to him knowing what he can and can't do. I guess that is a good thing?
My prediction for the Rockies? PAIN
Phillies win, of course, 5-4. Hamels pitches through 7+. Eyre with a shutdown appearance in the 7th or 8th. We might see Happ in the 7th or 8th. Madson closes the door.
f Can't help but to be rooting for the twins like every other baseball fan who aren't yanks, white sox, or tiger fans
I predicted that the Phillies would win 7-0 yesterday…
Today, I'm going with a 4-2 victory for the Phils… I think that the Rox will be keeping a close eye on Cook and won't let this game get out of hand if his sinker is not sinking. They'll throw the kitchen sink at us if they have to and we're going to have to win by any means necessary… I wouldn't be surprised if the Rockies likely switch it up and go with their "A" lineup in this one (no Atkins and no Fowler… insert Smith, for offense, and Stewart, for offense and defense). We've got too many LH SP… at some point, Tracy has to start thinking about playing his best players regardless of match ups. Cook is two weeks removed from a stint on the DL and although he has pitched well, the road to recovery is rarely smooth so I see him going 5-6 innings. Hamels should be good for 7-8 innings and hopefully our bullpen can string together a few tough outs.
Ed R, Dela Rosa is not on the roster so the Rockies are down a starting pitcher So if they are only as good as their next day's starting pitcher, it makes it even less probable that they would win 3 in a row.
I think that Charlie went with Lee because he's thinking that he might be able to use him in game 3 or 4 to finish off the Rox… if Hamels pitches well today, you don't have to worry about saving Lee for game 5… if you use Lee in relief, you can use Hamels for game 5 and bring in Lee in the late innings, if necessary. Once again, the Rockies have two clear advantages in their bench and bullpen… the only way that the Rockies can win is if we have to lean on our bench/pen. Our starters are going to carry us and using Lee to finish a potential series clinching game makes a lot of sense to me.
All this talk about Cole throwing the curveball more…I wonder if he's actually slightly hurt, and that's affecting his ability to throw the curve without pain..
The one thing I kept thinking yesterday was how calm the entire team looked..
knowing that it takes 3 wins to advance this round.. you can't try to win all 3 games on the first day.. so I really doubt that Hamels was pissed about starting Game 2
I actually think he's pitched pretty well when following a strong-start by Lee .
So im not one for projections usually, but I can see Hamels going a strong 7 innings or so, and definitely giving us a chance to win this game .. Our offense has all the confidence in the world right now .. every start got at least one hit yesterday!
Hopefully our bats are getting hot at the right time.. and our streaky team will streak its way back into the World Series
joedad – Yeah, I'm a little self conscious grammatically speaking. Ever seen Take the Money and Run….where Woody Allen tries to rob a bank with a note but mispelled "gun"? That'd be me. Ever since then I've become grammar/ spelling nazi.
GWFightins – I read something in a forum on Fangraphs that said he might have tweaked his elbow. It makes sense because it really began to come around and then suddenly the last two games, neither hide nor hair of it really. And when you saw it, just a few times it was too ugly and scaring too many children.
I can't see the Twins pulling that series out, as much as I would love to see it. They seem really worn down and who can blame them at this point. It took alot out of them making that September run, ala our 07 team. Too many hitters in that Yankee lineup, IMO.
I feel good about the Phils. Today is the day to really show Colorado who the team in control is. This is why we paid Mr. Hamels, for starts like today. I think the crowd is gonna be even more pumped up. The jitters are gone and 2008 is now officially behind us.
That was a great movie, "gub" was a funny scene. My blog posts are streams of consiousness so i don't take care to make sure I spell consiousness correctly. I'm sure the nuns who taought me in grade school are turning in their graves.
It would be crazy for anyone to bet against the Yankees against the Twins but Gardenhire did what he had to do to give his team a chance to win the series… concede game 1, let NY waste CC against his worst pitcher and prepare for game 2. If they can win game 2, they've turned the series around heading back to MIN… there are a lot of question marks at the back end of the Yankee rotation (Pettitte's not 100% and Joba is a train wreck) which is why game 2 is critical in that series… their lineup is capable but unproven in the postseason and Minnesota is one of those teams that always finds a way to hang around long enough to defy the odds.
Speaking of betting, today's line favors the Phils more than yesterday's.
looked good last night

Why is there a giant blue diaphragm traipsing around RFK Stadium? And why does it have a face and a bow-tie? Let's chalk it up to things that make you go "Hmmmm…"
Ok, if you've been reading this here blog for a while, you know I've got one deep-seeded cultural superstition: The Evil Eye. Well, the old EE reared its ugly head in our final game against Pittsburgh. Gary and Keith were discussing the on-field action as if a win were an inevitability. Five runs ahead! Against the *******' Pirates! How could we lose? Yeah, that's when the Eye's going to come in and start some mischief.
So when the series against the last-place Nationals came along next, I knew I'd only be satisfied with a sweep. And then, when it started to happen, I got happy. Forgetting, of course, that the Evil Eye has our number this season. So he went and took away Damion Easley. Man, that's annoying. Not only a bad sprain, but ligament damage too.
Let's just say I don't dare look too forward to Endy Chavez's imminent return.
So, do you think this dude had a date that night with the Fifty Foot Woman?
On a completely different note, my former favorte Met Cliff Floyd's father passed away this weekend, and I just want to say I'm so sorry, Cliffy. I bet many, many Mets fans send out their condolences and keep you in their hearts during this tough time.
1 Comment
Great call! How could I have missed that? I must have stepped out of the room. Did you happen to hear Keith's rant about the bathroom? I don't remember what night it was–maybe the final game against Pittsburgh? "I'm so out of breath. The bathroom is so far from the booth" (or something to that effect). Another Hernandez classic.

ResearchNovel Biologically Based Therapies for Multiple Myeloma
Our recent advances in genomics and proteomics in multiple myeloma (MM) have increased our understanding of disease pathogenesis, helped to identify novel therapeutic targets, and provided the scientific rationale for combining targeted therapies to increase tumor-cell cytotoxicity and abrogate drug resistance. Specifically, gene microarray profiling has shown major differences between normal plasma cells and cells from monoclonal gammopathy of unclear significance (MGUS) and MM cells, with further modulations within MM cells and in cells progressing to plasma cell leukemia. Therefore, we have profiled individual patients newly diagnosed with MM in order to tailor targeted therapy for them; it is likely that cocktails of therapeutics will be needed to overcome resistance.
Recognition of the role of the bone marrow (BM) milieu in conferring growth, survival, and drug resistance in MM cells - in both the laboratory and in animal models - has enabled us to establish a new treatment paradigm targeting the tumor cell and its microenvironment. Our studies in a SCID-human mouse model of MM have demonstrated modulations associated with binding of MM cells to the BM microenvironment: upregulation of growth-, survival-, and drug-resistance genes in MM cells; increased adhesion molecule expression on MM cells and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs); and increased cytokine transcription and secretion in BMSCs. Thalidomide, the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib, and the novel immunomodulatory drug lenalidamide maintain their cytotoxicity against MM cells even in the BM milieu. They do so by: (1) directly inducing apoptosis of drug-resistant MM cells; (2) decreasing the adhesion of MM cells to BMSCs and extracellular matrix proteins; (3) downregulating the transcription and secretion of cytokines in the BM milieu that mediate tumor cell growth, survival, and migration; (4) inhibiting angiogenesis; and (5) stimulating host antiMM immunity. Each of these drugs has been shown to have antitumor activity in relapsed and refractory MM, whether alone or combined with dexamethasone. Clinical trials have also evaluated their utility earlier in the disease course.
Finally, our correlative gene profiling, proteomic, and signaling studies in tumor cell samples from patients treated with novel agents have identified the mechanisms of sensitivity and resistance, provided the rationale for selection of patients most likely to respond, helped to design combination therapies to enhance sensitivity and overcome resistance in MM cells, and suggested ways to develop more potent, selective, and less toxic targeted therapeutics.

Assembly Republican leaders say the first bill they'll introduce this session will reform Wisconsin's mining laws.
Speaker Robin Vos and Majority Leader Scott Suder released a statement Wednesday calling the bill a top priority. They said the measure will help create thousands of jobs but didn't offer any details on what changes the bill might make.
Suder said in an interview Republicans are using a version of a mining reform bill the Legislature's budget committee approved last March as a starting point but discussions are ongoing.
Vos and Suder's announcement came as Republican Gov. Scott Walker hit the road to stump for mining reform at state businesses.
The GOP has been working for the last year to help Gogebic Taconite open a huge iron mine near Lake Superior.

I never really thought that removing P&R was ultimately about fear of change but it seems it is and is one that will create sterility.
Answer me this then Parky, why does what you call sporting communism work in every other competitive sport in this country? Sport is all about change not maintaining the status quo. In Union even the ultra posh Harlequins were relegated. In cricket Yorkshire have been relegated and promoted. Even a powerful side like Lancashire have been relegated. It's called dynamism and its good for us all. What we have at the moment, effectively an oligarchy will kill the game either sooner or later because the fans will tire of the same old same old winning every year. In the late eighties (and I know this for a fact, I worked with a good number of them) even the Wigan fans began to tire of their team winning everything every year.
If well held and respected theories are correct, it seems to me that traditionalist thinking in RL is the one open to change and new ideas. It is the ideas to keep things the same, not to develop from within and share the opportunities to strengthen the whole sport that looks old fashioned imperious behaviour.
If we are to believe that it is because there's only so much money to go around then it has to be spent wisely which seems to me isn't the case.
Secondly the RFL could do with looking at how well some Championship clubs have developed there infrastructures forced on them by the possibility of extinction. Without significant investment or opportunity to progress some clubs have really burned a candle for RL. It's those that scoff the loudest that CC clubs aren't ready for SL for whatever reason that preach due to fear. How can you compare or make a judgement when some clubs haven't been in the top flight for over 17 years in the name of progression?
These clubs have shrugged there shoulders and thought "well if SL don't want us and there's no money then we best go find some". The CC clubs haven't sat back on their laurels. They spent some time wondering what the hell but have also made progress with there stadiums, marketing and community programs to keep afloat. What they haven't done is stand still living off a 17 year contract. The sad fact is that if you took SL away only 2 or 3 clubs in the CC would notice. That is not healthy for the game of RL.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION Two Connecticut men who have vacationed in the Ludlow area for years have been charged under Vermonts rarely used slave-trafficking statutes for allegedly luring a local boy into a life of prostitution.
The alleged victim, who is now 25, approached Vermont State Police earlier this month and said he realized that beginning at age 12 he had been groomed to participate in an escalating series of sex acts by the men who he said gave him a steady stream of gifts and money in exchange for his participation.
Brett Bartolotta, 42, and his friend Frank Meyer, 39, both pleaded innocent Thursday to felony counts of sexual assault on a minor and slave trafficking. The men, who both face up to life in prison if convicted, were jailed on $50,000 and $100,000 bail respectively.
The alleged victim told investigators that when he was a teenager Bartolotta had agreed to sell him a dirt bike on installment payments. He said he made weekly payments to Bartolotta when he was in Vermont.
Detective Daniel Trottier wrote in an affidavit that Bartolotta began telling the boy about sexual ways in which the boy could earn money, and began a series of sexual encounters that allegedly escalated to bondage themes and eventually involved his friend Meyer.
Prosecutors said Thursday that even though the alleged victim is now an adult and voluntarily participated in the activities in later years, it did not change the criminal nature of the past acts involving an underage boy.
The alleged victim showed Vermont State Police more than 2,000 Facebook messages purportedly sent between himself and Bartolotta and Meyer which investigators said corroborated the sexual nature of their relationship.
Police said they set up a sting operation last week in which the alleged victim wore a wire in a restaurant in Ludlow and engaged Meyer in a conversation about the timeline of the relationship.
Trottier wrote that Meyer repeatedly expressed nervousness about being overheard by other patrons given the subject matter of the conversation. The detective said he appeared to acknowledge and confirm many of the places and times that the victim mentioned.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

A smoking ban at some of Oahu's most popular beaches will likely become law.
Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell said he will sign the bill if it passes a legal review.
A bill outlaws smoking at Duke Paoa Kahanamoku Beach Park, all of Kapiolani Park, Kuhio Beach Park, Sandy Beach Park and all sandy areas of Ala Moana Regional Park.
"When I was in the House of Representatives as majority leader, I put in a bill called No Butts on the Beach," said Caldwell. "Unfortunately, it didn't make it out of the House. I'm glad to see the City Council has the guts, the bravery and I think the foresight to move a bill like this."
This bill is good news for people like Kaneohe resident Norman Soderberg and his family.
"When people smoke and they leave their cigarettes butts everywhere and my kids find these butts everywhere, that's what irritates me," said Soderberg.
Kaneohe resident Boyd Ramos said, "(Sandy Beach Park is) supposed to be a family beach and when people smoke they usually end up throwing their butts on the beach and it's not good. Being Hawaiian, I like to preserve the land."
While many are happy about this possible new law, others are fuming over the ban.
"I think it's a freedom (issue), said Kaneohe resident Randy Kapu. "They have nowhere, they already have limited areas to smoke. This is Sandy Beach, it's for everybody."
Kahaluu resident Hale Spencer said, "Where else (are) they going to go? It's far from everybody."
Not far enough if Mayor Caldwell gets his way.
"I really would like to see it expanded and applied to all our beach parks around the island," Caldwell said. "I think it's an environmental problem. We don't want to use our beaches as ashtrays."
If the smoking ban becomes law, Honolulu police said the fine could reach up to $50.

Queen Nancy Really Upset About A Possible Congressional Paycut
And typically unhinged
(The Hill) House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that she opposes a cut in congressional pay because it would diminish the dignity of lawmakers' jobs.
"I don't think we should do it; I think we should respect the work we do," Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. "I think it's necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded."
The sequestor would cause a reduction of pay for lots and lots of federal workers, including those in Congress.
"It's a hard question to ask me because most of my colleagues are the breadwinners in their families," she said. "A pay cut to me doesn't mean as much."
Call me old fashioned, but serving in Congress was supposed to be a privileged and a duty, as well as a sacrifice, not a permanent job designed to enrich oneself. The average American household income was a bit over $60,000. Congressional electees receive $174,000 a year. Plus all the perks and ability to make lots of moola just by being a federally elected official. Meanwhile, out here in the real world, lots and lots of American citizens are taking pay cuts thanks to this Democrat run economic malaise. With the coming full implementation of ObamaCare, of which Pelosi was instrumental in passing, many Americans are seeing their work hours cut.
Scott Ott has some ideas about dealing with Congressional pay, including
Peg Congressional pay changes to changes in the median household income – down about 8.24% since 2007 – putting their pay at about $159,663. Of course, if they really wanted to identify with the people, we could set their pay AT the median household level, a cut of roughly $110,000. Members who serve inner-city districts could have their's set to local rates.
When Nancy P regained control of the House, the country went into a deep, deep recession from which it has yet to recover. Incomes are down, the deficit is high, debt is now over $16 trillion, etc and so on.
