Anna Hazare snipes at sniper Arvind Kejriwal, says exposes not enough
"It is not enough to just expose scams but it is important to go into the root cause of corruption that can happen only through the national-level people's movement," said activist Medha Patkar on Saturday referring to the tactics of the Kejriwal-Bhushan duo.
Although Patkar took no names, the remark echoing the Hazare team's criticism of "hit-and-run" tactics it feels Kejriwal employs put the spotlight on the growing chasm between the two camps who had rattled the government with their agitation for a Lokpal.
Hazare said he was announcing a plan of action to dispel the notion that he had gone into a shell and that there was no agenda to carry forward the movement against corruption.
With the two sides going their ways soon after Team Anna put corruption right on top of the public debate, Hazare pointedly emphasized that he will now embark on a nationwide campaign to spread awareness against graft rather than gathering crowds at Jantar Mantar and Ramlila Maidan — the protest sites identified with the Lokpal movement.
The open expression of differences comes against the backdrop of a growing perception that Kejriwal has stolen a march over Hazare, defying the estimate that a separation would push the former Indian Revenue Service (IRS) official to the sidelines. Kejriwal had looked tentative in the wake of split with Hazare, but now seems to be gaining in confidence as he plays the David versus Goliath script with increasing adroitness.
Hazare's newly-formed movement has had a shaky start with the first meeting enveloped by rumours of infighting within the group. A press statement issued by the group said Hazare reconstituted the coordination committee to "re-energize" India Against Corruption (IAC) movement.
When asked if the Hazare camp would give up the name since the Kejriwal-led group was using IAC for its political work, the Gandhian leader said he was not in favour of a confrontation. Former police officer Kiran Bedi added, "Some of our members have left but IAC continues. They anyway intend to have a different name for their political party. IAC will remain as it is."
Hazare announced the 15-member Coordination Committee, which has erstwhile members like Justice (Retd) Santosh Hegde, Akhil Gogoi, Sunita Godara, Arvind Gaur, Shivendra Singh Chauhan and Rakesh Rafiq, besides Bedi and Patkar.
The new faces in the committee are former DGP (Punjab) Shashikant, ex-IAS officer Avinash Dharmadhikari, Lt Col Brijendra Khokhar, Ran Singh Arya, activist Akshay Kumar and agriculture expert Vishambhar Chaudhary. Former Army chief gen VK Singh was invited but excused himself from the meeting.
Giving details of the future plan of action, Hazare said the coordination committee will be expanded by including around 40 more eminent citizens within a month.
Speaking about the agenda of the movement, he said, "After the split, there have been some doubts that I have become silent and there is no forward movement. We have never stopped. The movement is on. We don't want the useless government Lokpal. We will fight for a strong Lokpal, decentralization, Right to Reject, Citizens Charter and system change. If we have all these laws, 90% of corruption can be eradicated."
The group is also planning to hold "Anna pathshalas" where volunteers will be trained in law, ethics, RTI and general awareness across the country.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Great flat right in the middle of a busy area very good for nightlife, and easy access to all the sights of Lisbon.
The apartment is ideally suited to explore with a family relaxed Lisbon. It is spacious, well located and has everything you need - perhaps would wineglasses still a nice addition.
Reception and advice of Marisa were great and everything else in order!
Das Appartement ist optimal geeignet, um mit einer Familie entspannt Lissabon zu erkunden. Es ist geräumig, gut gelegen und bietet alles, was man braucht - vielleicht wären Weingläser noch eine schöne Ergänzung.
Empfang und Tipps von Marisa waren super und auch alles andere in Ordnung!
My friend and me absolutely loved the apartment. Both bathrooms and bedrooms were nice and spacy and equipped with all you need to feel comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, too, dishwasher and even a washing machine included. Just around the corner was a crocery shop that - although small - had everything from bread, fresh fruit/vegetables and other necessities. The apartment is only a 10 minute walk from the city center, metro station etc. Checkin and checkout worked very timely and smoothly, very nice person who met us at the apartment and booked us a taxi on our checkout day to get to the airport. So we were absolutely satisfied and did not see one thing to complain about. We would definitely book this apartment again on our next trip to Lisbon. Thank you very much - dear hosts.
Everything worked out great. The apartment was clean and nice and it is located in a quiet side street. Unfortunately, the terrace is surrounded by a high wall and therefore not very inviting but all in all, agrees the value for money.
app well located in a scenic area on the ground floor BUT without double glazing (intense nightlife !!!) with misleading photos:
only the correct room was the sofa in the living room doubtful shower tray with brown seals and badly arranged kitchen and bathroom s without vents
d or odors ..
well organized and friendly reception
app bien situé dans un quartier pittoresque MAIS en rez de chaussee sans double vitrage (vie nocturne intense!!!) avec des photos trompeuses :
seule la chambre etait correcte le canapé du salon douteux le bac de douche avec des joints marrons et mal disposée la cuisine et la s de bains sans aerations
d ou des mauvaises odeurs..
reception bien organisée et aimable
Pretty, well equipped and centrally located apartment (only a few steps to the tram station and E28 to the supermarket). The old town is (over a smaller hill within walking distance). Small, but high walled terrace. Outlook Unfortunately, even on the wall of the terrace - but that does not bother when you're most of the day in the beautiful Lisbon road. Apartment takeover and -abgebe completely uncomplicated. Very friendly welcome and helpful tips. Wenn's not be so many other interesting places, we comb certainly very soon!
Hübsche, gut eingerichtete und zentral gelegene Wohnung (nur wenige Schritte bis zur Straßenbahn E28 und bis zum Supermarkt). Auch die Altstadt ist (über einen kleineren Hügel zu Fuß erreichbar). Kleine, allerdings hoch ummauerte Terrasse. Ausblick leider auch nur auf die Mauer der Terrasse - das stört aber nicht, wenn man fast den ganzen Tag im wunderschönen Lissabon unterwegs ist. Wohnungsübernahme und -abgebe völlig unkompliziert. Sehr freundlicher Empfang und hilfreiche Tipps. Wenn´s nicht noch so viele andre interessante Orte gäbe, kämmen wir sicherlich sehr bald wieder!
have always had good experience with Wimdu; good housing, good service, rapid assistance with questions and problems.
Apartment was good, especially very quiet and very clean
bisher immer gute Erfahrungen mit Wimdu gemacht; gute Wohnungen, guter Service, rasche Hilfe bei Fragen und Problemen.
Wohnung war gut, vor allem sehr ruhig und sehr sauber
The accommodation was basic (in decoration, etc.) but sufficient for us. Central location, enough beds, wifi, tv, 2 bathrooms. As advertised. (we missed a toaster and a coffee machine)
Communications with the host was good. But the handover of the key was a bit unlucky. We arrived in the evening 9 pm, and while on the phone everything was ok, the guy who brought the key was late. So we had to wait up to 30 minutes outside. Not a deal breaker, but a point for attention (don't let a family with kids wait 30 minutes in a, for them, completely unknown location:) ... I will deduct 1 full point for this.
So, I was going to give a 7/10 (8 for the basic, but as advertised, accommodation and 1 minus point for the key-handover) but I will give 1 full point extra because the people at the office really took good care of us the last day ...
... we had an evening flight (10 pm), but had to check out at 11 am (normal procedure). The people in the office offered the following solution for our luggage. We could store the luggage at their office until 7 pm, so we could enjoy another, near full, day in Lisbon. At 7 pm we picked up our luggage, and the office called a taxi for us. Top marks for that!
So, all in all, a great stay!
A well deserved 8/10
very very noisy as there is a night bar that opens 22h so there are people and music has thoroughly until 5am
over the sofa on which ns was broken slept on a part then to sleep well at all
and especially given the price of the rental ns ns expected a lot better
Fortunately the only positive is that the lady who ns received was very cheerful and very friendly
rue très très bruyante car il y a un bar de nuit qui ouvre a 22h il y a donc des gens et de la musique a fond jusqu a 5h du matin
de plus le canapé sur lequel ns dormions était cassé sur un partie alors pour dormir pas bien du tout
et surtout vu le prix de la location ns ns attendions a beaucoup mieux
heureusement le seul point positif c'est que la dame qui ns a reçu était très souriante et tres sympathique
The apartment was fine, we felt very comfortable, even if there were no 5-star kitchen / bathroom facilities, but good beds, a total agreed price-performance ratio. The employees of Margarida was very friendly and helpful. The apartment I would recommend for a Lisbon stay readily an acquaintance. However, I find that the placement fee of Wimdu to rent is relatively high.
Die Wohnung war in Ordnung, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, auch wenn es keine 5-Sterne-Küche/Bad-Ausstattung gab, dafür aber gute Betten, insgesamt stimmte das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Der Mitarbeiter von Margarida war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Wohnung würde ich für einen Lissabon-Aufenthalt ohne weiteres einem Bekannten empfehlen. Allerdings finde ich, dass der Vermittlungs-Aufschlag von Wimdu auf die Miete relativ hoch ist.

(1898/2012) H. G. Wells, Gollancz, hrdbk, Ł8.99, 185pp, ISBN 978-0-575-11535-4
This is the 2012 edition of H. G. Wells seminal SF classic from 1898. It is so famous that it barely warrants a review and yet there are always newcomers to the genre and, as I will point out, this particular edition deserves special attention.
Written at the tail end of the nineteenth century, the story concerns a Victorian Englishman who gets caught up in, of all things, an invasion of Earth by Martians! And so we have the title War of the Worlds with the 'worlds' being Mars and Earth. All the action, and there is action, takes place on Earth with much of it centred on London and the Home Counties especially Surrey. The first signs of the invasion are noted by the book's protagonist narrator as an astronomical curiosity in flashes observed on the surface of distant Mars. Little did the narrator at the time know that these represented the launch of the Martian invasion fleet. Yet all too soon (chapter 2 no less) strange cylinders had landed and our narrator recounts one in a crater outside of Woking. These artefacts at first generate curiosity in of what passes for the media newspapers in Victorian England, but inquisitiveness soon turns to horror as strange machines rise from the cylinders' impact craters. These machines stand on three leg-like structures and the tripods set off to roam the land wielding a heat ray (reminiscent of what today we might consider lasers).
Britain's civilian population retreats from the advancing tripods with the army attempting to counter attack with little, if any, affect. Britain, the motherland of the then great British Empire, was being ravished…
H. G. Wells, it is said, wrote the novel following a conversation in which it was put to him that no army could ever invade Victorian Britain and so H. G. Wells provided in fiction a force that could do just that. It is also noted in an interesting introduction to this edition (by Adam Roberts) that an earlier near-future short story by George T. Chesney, 'The Battle of Dorking' (1871) had been a big commercial hit and touched a national nerve. This story saw a complacent England being invaded by an efficient Prussian force. Wells was undoubtedly was influenced by this. The bottom line is that The War of the Worlds not only is a great work of SF but has (as indeed have a number of SF classics) a sociological dimension that cannot be ignored.
How the novel proceeds – and here there are scenes worthy of gruesome horror novels – and concludes I leave for the reader to find out. And yes, here I repeat my earlier point, that each generation sees those who come to the story for the first time and so it is the duty of the reviewer not to give away plot spoilers. So I must warn readers who come to The War of the Worlds for the first time to skip Roberts' introduction to the book and dive straight into the novel: this introduction comes perilously close to, if not actually contains, a plot spoiler. So I must remind those who do write reviews and book introductions, as well as those who commission them (and those who provide back cover blurbs) not to ruin any surprises authors provide their readers in their carefully crafted plots. (This sin is rare but is still all too common for my liking. Indeed one famous contemporary SF critic does this so often that I no longer read his reviews if I have not already read the novel in question. This person gets around this by saying he is writing critiques of books not reviews, in which case I wonder why he often writes 'critiques' within days of a book being published?) In short, this 'introduction' to the book would actually be better placed at the novel's end as an afterward, and Gollancz may wish to seriously consider this point when commissioning future accompanying articles to the wonderfully worthy SF Masterwork series.
This brings me onto this particular 2012 edition of War of the Worlds. It is, as said, part of the marvellous SF Masterwork series from Gollancz but more than that the recent hardback version of the Masterworks with a full colour cover printed directly on, as part of, the hardback (as opposed to a separate dust jacket). I have to say that I really like this particular hardback format of the Masterworks series. Not only do I like the format (though a laminate for protection would be a utilitarian cherry on the icing) but it is a very reasonably priced hardback costing as little as a paperback! (This may well be because Gollancz already has the editing paid for, the typeset and cover illustration done, as well as probably having the story be copyright free as it is so old. This edition's cover illustration is (a slight colour variation on) one by Chris Moore which Orion (the publishing group to which the Gollancz imprint belongs) has used before and indeed did with its Millennium SF Masterwork volume number 24 in 1999; that volume contained both The War of the Worlds and The Time Machine. Also, fortunately this new 2012 edition Gollancz SF Masterwork is unnumbered (hooray). 'Fortunately' because the previous SF Masterworks numbering was very confusing with different numbers being attributed to the same novel but varying due to exactly which Masterwork run. (This is something about which I used to complain: see my review of Ringworld and A Maze of Death.) So I am glad Gollancz made this change dropping the numbering. Finally, the top half of this book's spine is yellow. This is an historic reference to Orion's SF hardbacks of the 1960s and 1970s that had yellow dust jackets. Those of us who grew up as teenagers in this time (who are now (2013) in their late 50s or 60s) may fondly remember that some of our early forays into SF came via these yellow hardbacks: Orion (Gollancz) has a solid SFnal heritage.
For completeness' sake it should be noted that The War of the Worlds has also been a film at least twice. First directed by. George (The Time Machine) Pal (1953), starring Gene Barry, which won an Oscar for Special Effects courtesy of Gordon Jennings, and second directed by Steven Spielberg (2005) and starring Tom Cruise. The George Pal film is on the list of all time best attended of movies screened at the Festival of Fantastic Films, and it won a retro-Hugo (an unofficial Hugo voted on at the 2004 Worldcon 50 years on from the 1954 Worldcon which did present Hugos for SF in 2003). It also inspired a short-lived but fondly remembered comics series (Killraven the Hunter, Marvel Comics by Don McGregor), a 'concept' album of songs and spoken-word featuring Richard Burton (Jeff Wayne, 1978), as well as a lacklustre sequel US TV series (1988-90) starring Jared Martin. Notwithstanding the afore, there are also the mechanical tripods in John Christopher's juvenile-SF tetralogy The Tripods which itself had a 1984 BBC series adaptation, and which could be said to have been inspired by Wells' three-legged Martian machines.
And so there you have it: a strong recommendation for both Wells' story and this particular edition of The War of the Worlds. A 'must buy' for any SF collector whose copy is battered and a great birthday/Christmas gift for tempting teenagers to dip a toe into SF.

Purpose: To determine whether former pediatric residents trained using a model of integrated behavioral health (BH) care in their primary care continuity clinics felt more comfortable managing BH care and better prepared to collaborate with BH professionals than did peers from the same residency who trained in clinics with a conventional model of BH care.
Method: University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry pediatric residents were assigned to one of two continuity clinic sites. At one site, psychology fellows and faculty were integrated into the clinic teams in the mid-1990s. At the other, conventional patterns of consultation and referral continued. In 2004, the authors surveyed 245 alumni (graduated 1989–2003) about their experiences and their comfort with providing BH care and collaborating with BH providers in their current practice.
Results: A total of 174 alumni (71%) responded. There were significant differences between graduates who trained in the two models. Those who trained in the integrated model were significantly more likely than others to report that they had consulted or planned treatment with a BH provider during residency and to report that their continuity clinic helped prepare them to collaborate with BH providers. They were somewhat more likely to believe that their overall residency training prepared them to manage BH issues in their current practice.
Conclusions: These findings suggest that an integrated training environment, described in detail in the companion article in this issue, can enhance pediatric resident education in the management of BH problems and collaboration with BH specialists.

While Aspen's large hotel renovations dominate the news this winter, Aspen's small inns continue to attract an incredibly loyal following with a combination of relatively moderate prices and personalized service. Stay here, and within a day or two, you'll be on a first-name basis with the staff while mingling with other ski addicts from all over the world. All are within walking distance of downtown Aspen and a block or so from the shuttles that access all four Aspen ski areas. Here are three of our favorites:
Why go: From the outside, the 19-room Lenado looks California contemporary, but inside it's pure mountain lodge, with handcarved beds, cozy down comforters, and lots of honey-toned wood trim. Some rooms even include wood-burning stoves, whirlpool tubs, vaulted ceilings, and private balconies. All encircle the soaring two-story lobby, where you can warm up after a day lapping runs from Aspen Mountain's gondola with complimentary hors d'oeuvres by the huge concrete-and-stone fireplace. Then grab a loaner book and sink into a leather chair in the small library or nab a sheepskin-swathed lounge chair on the front porch. The hotel's full breakfast, included in the room price, offers homemade granola, omelets, and specials like Grand Marnier french toast—locals sometimes start their day here, too. Other nice touches: L'Occitane toiletries, heated boot lockers off the lobby, a dedicated massage treatment room downstairs.
Best-kept secret: The Lenado welcomes furry, four-legged guests, too, with dog treats, bowls, and bottled water, as well as a town park right out the back door. Pictures of the canine clientele decorate a library wall. hotellenado.com

Reflections on Why Dancers Should Take Dance Class
by Chrysta Brown for The Dance Journal
Because I can always find something "important" to do when I've got a deadline breathing over my shoulder, it can be no surprise that though I intended to do work, color-coding my calendar was something I needed to do first. I chose red for school assignments, orange for the dance classes I teach, yellow for the classes I could take, and so on. When I finished, my calendar looked like a rainbow, but since blue, indigo, and violet are similar, I swapped the latter for an ironic shade of gray that made my day-to-day life look like a rainbow during a storm. I thought about how tired I would be over the next few months. During some of my college rehearsals, the choreographer, Donald McKayle, would have us say, "I ain't got no time for tired." He was right. I look at my calendar again. He was so right.
One of the colored blocks in my schedule belongs to a Graham class at Take the Lead Dance Studio. Except for a few yoga classes where I was told not to worry about pointing my feet, a correction that still makes my eye twitch, I hadn't taken a class, Graham or otherwise, in a while. Nervous and self-conscious, I sat in the back of the studio and crossed my legs. The instructor walked to my corner and told me her name was Evelien Schut. "Have you ever taken Graham before?" she asked.
"A little in college," I shrugged, afraid to own up to the four years I'd spent obsessing over the technique. College seemed like decades away, and I wasn't confident that I remembered how to be a Graham dancer.
She walked to the front of the studio and sat so the bottoms of her feet touched. She opened her legs into a straddle, and brought them in front of her. "We're going to do the bounces in all three positions," she said. She motioned towards the other students in the class, a barefoot group of calm and focused adult dancers in t-shirts and yoga pants. "You can follow these guys if you need to." Truthfully, I wouldn't know what I needed to do until the "and" count before the "one." I brought the soles of my feet together like hands preparing to pray, and waited.
As anyone who loves dancing enough to make a career of it knows, dance is an addiction, and a demanding one. Working as a dancer often requires multiple jobs, some side projects, and a lot of ideas. I am busy, sometimes blissfully so, and sometimes not so much, but busy regardless. That just seems like an efficient way of saying that I'm stressed, behind schedule, sore, full of self-doubt, and tired. Sometimes I think about those feelings more than I think about dancing.
"Five, and six, and ready to go," Evelien counted. Something magical happened then. It was something like a rainbow on a rainy day, which is the best time to see rainbows. Only then can they remind you that storms are no match for color, light, and beauty. My spine lifted, and the top of the musical measure manifested itself into the contraction I was so certain I had forgotten.
In her autobiography, Blood Memory, Martha Graham introduces herself by saying, "I am a dancer." It felt good to get lost in her technique, the spirals, contractions, the intimate conversations between music and movement, and to be reminded of why I do any of the other stuff. Sure, I have to pay rent, and build my resume, and network, and all of that, but mostly I just love dancing. Once my body remembered that, so did I.
I'll probably need that reminder again soon, but that is part of what a dancer accomplishes in class, and why we, as hustling professionals, should make time to take them. We have responsibilities and obligations to our friends, families, employers, and to ourselves. We are busy, but more importantly, we are dancers, and it does us well to be reminded of that.

Performance in Third-Person 3D Shooters
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
The speed of this game directly depends on the ability of the graphics card to process math1ematics-heavy shaders. The e-GeForce 7900 GT CO SuperClocked is somewhat worse at doing the math1 than the Radeon X1900 XT or the GeForce 7900 GTX since its GPU works at a lower clock rate. Anyway, the EVGA card is as fast as the Radeon X1800 XT in this game. That's quite enough for comfortable play in all the standard resolutions considering that you don't need as high a frame rate for a third-person shooter as for a first-person one.

Can Anyone See My Credit File if it is Frozen?
When you have a security freeze on your credit file, certain entities still have access to it. Your report can still be released to your existing creditors or to collection agencies acting on their behalf. They can use it to review or collect on your account. Other creditors may also use your information to make offers of credit-unless you opt out of receiving such offers. See below for how to opt out of pre-approved credit offers. Government agencies may also have access in response to a court or administrative order, a subpoena, or a search warrant or for purposes of collecting child support. A prospective landlord or employer also can access your credit file.

It's been awhile since Panasonic last released some exciting stuff, but here they are with the new ELUGA, which is one of the main devices spotted at Mobile World Congress. Despite the fact that it is confirmed to be available outside of Japan, that is where the device will be selling - for now.
NTT DoCoMo has announced that the phone will be up for grabs officially on March 29th as the NEXT series P-04D. And as a refresher, the mobile carries a waterproof, dustproof body, featuring a 4.3-inch OLED screen with a qHD resolution, a 1Ghz dual-core TI OMAP processor, as well as Android Gingerbread with a promise of Ice Cream Sandwich.
The phone is set to be released in Europe some time in April, though no word on arriving at North America.

Tinea Versicolor
What Is It?
Many microorganisms normally live on our skin, including a group of yeast species called Malassezia. (Round or oval yeasts in this group were previously known by the names Pityrosporum orbiculare and Pityrosporum ovalis.) The yeast lives in our pores. Under certain conditions, it can shift its form from a round or oval yeast shape to a string-like, branching shape. These branching forms are named hyphae. The yeast can migrate under the skin and produce azelaic acid, a substance that can change the amount of pigment (color) in new skin cells. In its hyphae form, the yeast causes a rash called tinea versicolor, also called pityriasis versicolor.
Tinea versicolor is common year-round in the tropics and subtropics and is seen in the summer months in more temperate climates. Sun exposure, use of oils on the skin, naturally oily skin and sweating are all suspected to be triggers that can cause the round or oval yeast to convert to its hyphae form, resulting in the rash. This rash can spread between people who have skin contact.
Tinea versicolor occurs more often in teenagers and young adults and appears on the back, neck, upper chest, shoulders, armpits and upper arms. Most people who get this rash are in good health. However, tinea versicolor is more likely to occur if you have a suppressed immune system, for instance, if you are taking a corticosteroid medication such as prednisone for another health problem. It is also more common in women who are taking birth control pills and in pregnant women.

The Jervis McEntee Diaries - December 28, 1883
Diary Entry:
Friday, Dec 28, 1883 When I awoke this morning the wind was blowing from the N. W. and it was bitterly cold and has been all day. Have worked all day without a single interruption. Have about completed one of Reichardts pictures and tomorrow hope to begin the other. This afternoon painted a little winter twilight, a recollection of something I saw from the car window the last time I went home. Came to my room early and wrote to Mrs. Weir. Wrote to Eastman last night asking him to go home with me Monday.

The hacktivist group known as AntiSec, which includes members from the notorious group Anonymous, has vowed to release 2.7 million confidential emails it stole from U.S. security firm Stratfor.
The group said it intends to further embarrass the intelligence company it hacked over Christmas by publishing the communications.
AntiSec posted the credit card numbers, passwords, and home addresses of 100,000 of Stratfor's clients on Monday, including Apple, the U.S. Army and Air Force, MSNBC, and the Miami Police Department.
Anonymous posted five receipts of donations it had made to charities using the stolen credit cards.
Stratfor Chief Executive George Friedman posted on Facebook that the company will offer identity theft protection and monitoring services to affected subscribers.
A spokesman for Stratfor said that the company had reported the intrusion to law enforcement and was working with them on the investigation. >>Red Orbit

Results tagged ' Brett Myers '
The Phillies lose to the Padres, 8-7, after taking an early lead.
The Phillies' bullpen blew its first game of the 2009 season, as the team squanders an early 7-1 lead, as the Padres come from behind to defeat the Phillies, 8-7. After the game, Phillies' manager Charlie Manuel said that he was not happy with the final result, as the Phils had wanted to win the game for the late Harry Kalas.
The Phillies started the game off by scoring five runs in the bottom of the first inning. Chase Utley gave the Phils a quick 3-0 lead as he hit a three-run home run, his second home run of the year, off of Padres' starter Chris Young, after Young had given up two straight singles to Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino, with nobody out. Two outs later, with runners on first and second, Chris Coste made it a 5-0 Phillies' lead with a two-run double, as he knocked in Raul Ibanez and Pedro Feliz, who had both gotten on base with walks. The Padres got one of the runs back in the top of the third as Phils' starter Coel Hamels gave up a lead-off, solo home run to Luis Rodriguez, his first home run of the year, making it a 5-1 Phils' lead. The Phillies got the run back in their half of the third as Feliz hit a two-out, RBI single, knocking in Ibanez, who had earlier tripled, giving the Phils a 6-1 lead. The Phillies made it 7-1 in the fourth inning, as Ryan Howard hit a two-out, RBI double, knocking in Victorino, who had earlier singled, stole second, his second steal of the game, and had moved over to third on an Utley's ground out to first. But, from that point on, it would be the Padres fighting back. They started their come back in the fifth, as Hamels gave up a two-out, two-run home run to Scott Hairston, his second home run of the year, knocking in Rodriguez, who had earlier reached base on a force out, 5-4, wiping out Nick Hundley, who had gotten on base with a walk, cutting the Phillies' lead to 7-3. An inning later, Hundley made the score 7-5 Phils as he hit a two-run home run off of Hamels, his first home run of the season, knocking in Kevin Kouzmanoff, who had earlier singled. In the eighth inning, the Padres made it a 7-6 Phillies' lead as pinch hitter Jody Gerut hit an RBI single, knocking in Chase Headley, who had earlier singled and sending Rodriguez, who had earlier walked, over to third base, putting runners on the corners. Hairston followed with a two-run RBI double, scoring both Rodriguez and Gerut, giving the Padres the lead, 8-7. The Phillies tried to tied the score in the bottom of the eighth, when, with pinch hitter Greg Dobbs on second base, via a pinch hit single and moving up to second on a Rollins' sacrifice bunt, trying to score on a two-out single to left by Utley. Sadly, a strong throw by Padres' left fielder Headley would cut down Dobbs at the plate, 7-2, as Padres' catcher, Hundley, tagged him out. The Phils made one last threat as Ibanez got on base with a single with one man out. After Jayson Werth had flied out to right for the inning's second out, Matt Stairs came up to the plate to pinch hit for Feliz, to hopefully end the game with another two-run home run. After getting behind on the count, 3-0, Padres' closer Heath Bell got the count up to 3-2, before finally ending the game by striking out Stairs, looking, with a fastball, collecting his sixth save of the season.
Cole Hamels got a no-decision, as he pitched six innings, giving up five runs on eight hits and a walk, while striking out four. Clay Condrey pitched a third of an inning, giving up a hit. Scott Eyre followed, pitching two-thirds of an inning, giving up no runs or hits as he struck out one. Ryan Madson took the lost as he blew the save, giving up three runs on three hits and a walk. His record is now 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA. Brad Lidge then pitched an inning, giving up no runs on three hits, leaving the bases loaded, as he struck out one batter. Chris Young also got a no-decision, as he got hit hard by the Phillies, giving up seven runs, on nine hits and two walks, while striking out two batters, in three and two-third innings. Luis Pedromo followed, pitching one and one-third scoreless innings, giving up only two walks. Luke Gregerson then pitched a scoreless inning, striking out a batter. Cla Meredith picked up the win as he pitched a scoreless inning, giving up just two hits. His record is now 2-0 with an 0.00 ERA. Duaner Sanchez pitched a scoreless inning, giving up two hits. Heath Bell recorded his sixth save of the season as he pitched a scoreless ninth, giving up just one hit while striking out a batter.
Phillies' hitters collected fourteen hits in the game. Raul Ibanez lead the way with three hits, as he increased his batting average to .361. Shane Victorino, Chase Utley, Pedro Feliz and Chris Coste would each follow with two hits apiece. Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Howard and Greg Dobbs got the other three Phillies' hits, with Dobbs' hit being his first pinch hit of the season. Utley knocked in three of the Phils' runs with a three-run homer. Coste knocked in two runs with a double, while Howard would knock in one with a double. Feliz brought in the other Phillie run with a single. But, the bullpen would blow its first game of the year as Ryan Madson gave up three runs in the eighth inning. Phillies' pitching, though, is getting hurt by the long ball as Cole Hamels gave up three of them in the game, allowing the Padres to get back into the game. Phillies' pitchers have now given up twenty-three home runs in just nine games. The pitchers need to give up less home runs if they hope to win games.
The Phillies (4-5, 4th) continue their four games home stand with the Padres (8-3, T-1st, National League West) tonight at Citizens Bank Park. The game will start at 7:05 pm Eastern. Brett Myers (1-1, 5.54) will start the game for the Phils, coming off a win in Colorado on April 11, as he pitched seven innings, giving up four runs on four hits and a walk, while striking out six, in the Phillies' 8-4 victory over the Rockies. Myers will be looking for his second straight victory while trying to keep the ball inside the park, having already given up six home runs, counting for all eight of the runs that he has so far given up this season. The Padres will counter with Shawn Hill (1-0, 3.60), who is coming off a victory over the Giants on April 10, as he went just five innings, giving up just two runs on seven hits and a walk, while striking out three, in the Padres' 7-3 victory. He will also be trying for his second straight win. The Phillies hope to rebound with a victory tonight, after having now lost two games in a row.
Brett Myers win his first game of the year as the Phillies defeated the Rockies, 8-4.
In his second start of the 2009 season, Brett Myers won his first game of the year in spite of once again giving up four runs on three long balls as the Phils defeated the Rockies at Coors Field, 8-4, tying up the three games series at a victory apiece.
The Rockies took a quick 2-0 lead in the second inning as Myers gave up a two-run home run to Troy Tulowitzki, his third home run of the year, as he knocked in Brad Hawpe, who had earlier doubled. The Phillies struck back in the top of the third, as Ryan Howard knocked in three runs as he hit a bases clearing, two-out double, scoring Jimmy Rollins, who had earlier singled, Shane Victorino, who had also singled, and Chase Utley, who had walked, giving the Phils the lead, 3-2. In the fourth, the Rockies tied the game up at three all as Garrett Atkins hit a hard to believe solo home run off of Myers, his second home run of the season. The Phillies regained the lead in the fifth, as Jayson Werth hit a two-out, two-run triple, scoring Utley, who had earlier singled and had gone to third on Howard's single, and Howard, making it a 5-3 Phillies' lead. The Rockies got one of the runs back in the bottom of the fifth as Clint Barmes hit a lead-off, solo home run off of Myers, his first home run of the season, cutting the Phils lead down to 5-4. But that turned out to be the Rockies' last hit, as first Myers and then the Phils' bullpen would get out the next fifteen Rockies. Meanwhile, the Phillies slowly added to their lead. In the seventh, Raul Ibanez made it 6-4 Phils as he hit a two-out solo home run, his second home run of the year. Then in the eighth, the score became 7-4 Phillies as Utley hit a two-out RBI single, scoring Victorino, who had earlier doubled. The Phillies then scored their last run in the ninth, as Pedro Feliz knocked in Ibanez, who had earlier doubled, making it an 8-4 Phillies' lead. Brad Lidge then came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth, pitching a 1-2-3 inning.
Brett Myers won the game for the Phils as he pitched a seven-inning four hitter against the Rockies, although giving up four runs on three home runs, and a walk, as he struck out six batters. His record is now 1-1 with a 5.54 ERA, thanks to the fact that he has given up eight earned runs on six home runs. Myers will need to cut down on the gopher balls to get his ERA lower. Ryan Madson followed Myers and pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning, striking out two. Brad Lidge then came in to pitched the ninth, also pitching a 1-2-3 inning, striking out a batter. Jorge De La Rosa took the lost for the Rockies, only able to go four and two-thirds innings, giving up five runs on six hits and two walks, while he struck out three. His record is now 0-1 with a 9.64 ERA. Ryan Speier followed him, pitching a third of an inning, giving up no runs on one hit. Jason Hammel then came in for two and two-third innings, as he gave up two runs on five hits and two walks, while he struck out a batter. Jason Grilli pitched a third of an inning, giving up just a walk as he struck out one. Huston Street then pitched two-thirds of an inning, giving up a run on three hits as he struck out a batter. Manuel Corpas then came in for a third of an inning, getting out the only man he would face.
The Phillies had fifteen hits in the game, with Shane Victorino and Pedro Feliz leading the attack with both man going three for five. Victorino had two singles and a double as he raised his average to .250, while Feliz had three singles, raising his average to .333. Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez then followed with two hits each, with Utley's two hits raising his batting average to .444. Jimmy Rollins, Jayson Werth and Chris Coste had the other three Phillies' hits. Howard knocked in three of the Phils' eight runs, Werth brought home two, and Ibanez, Utley and Feliz each knocked in a run. The Phillies' batters also had five walks.
Carlos Ruiz has been placed on the fifteen-games disabled list because of his injured right oblique. While he's out, Coste will be performing the catching duties as Lou Marson is called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to be the back-up catcher.
The Phillies (2-3) will this afternoon conclude their three games series with the Rockies (3-2). The game will be played at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. Game time is at 3:10 pm Eastern time (1:10 pm Mountain). The Phillies will send to the mound Chan Ho Park, who will be starting his first game in 2009. Last year he went 4-4 with a 3.40 ERA in 54 games, including five starts with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has already pitched an inning in relief in 2009, with a record of 0-0 with an 0.00 ERA. He will be trying for his first win of the year while also attempting to pitch the rotation's first quality start. The Rockies will send to the mound Aaron Cook, who pitched a two and one-third innings no-decision against the Diamonbacks on April 6, giving up six earned runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out two. His record is presently 0-0 with a rather high ERA of 23.14. Cook will be trying to improve on that bad start.
The Phillies hope to leave Denver with a series win and a .500 record in the standings, before they go on to Washington for a three games series with the Nationals in the Nation's capitol.
Cole Hamels gets crushed as the Phils are defeated by the Rockies, 10-3.
The Phillies starting rotation is still looking for its first quality start of 2009 as the Rockies crush the rotation's ace, Cole Hamels, for seven runs, as the Phils lose to the Rockies, 10-3.
The Phils, for the first time this season, took the lead, as Pedro Feliz, in the second inning, hit a sacrifice fly, knocking in Jayson Werth, who had earlier doubled, and had gone to third base on shortstop Troy Tulowitzki's fielding error of Raul Ibanez's groundball, making it 1-0 Phillies. Hamels, meanwhile, threw two good innings, before getting pummeled by the Rockies in the third. Clint Barmes started the inning off with a double. Opposing pitcher Jason Marquis then followed him with an RBI single, scoring Barmes, tying up the game at one all. After Dexter Fowler is called out for batter interference on a bunt attempt for the inning's first out, Ryan Spilborghs followed with a double, moving Marquis to third base, putting runners on second and third with one out. The next batter, Todd Helton, then hit into a 4-3 ground out for the inning's second out, scoring Marquis, giving the Rockies a 2-1 lead, while sending Spilborghs over to third. Garret Atkins then followed with a two-run home run, his first home run of the season, scoring Spilborghs, and making it 4-1 Rockies. Brad Hawpe then got on base with a ground-rule double. Tulowitzki followed him with a triple, scoring Hawpe, and giving the Rockies a 5-1 lead. Chris Iannetta, the ninth batter of the inning, would finally end the nightmare by poping out to Carlos Ruiz in foul territory. The Phillies cut the Rockies' lead to 5-2 as Feliz knocked in his second RBI of the game, this time with a 6-3 ground out, the second out of the inning, as he scored Werth, who had earlier doubled and had moved over to third base on an Ibanez 4-3 ground out. In the bottom half of the inning, the Rockies got the run back as Spilborghs doubled in Barmes, who had gotten on base with a single, had move over to second base on Marquis' sacrifice bunt and had gone to third on Fowler's 6-3 ground out, making it 6-2 Rockies. Helton followed with an RBI single, scoring Spilborghs, and giving the Rockies a 7-2 lead. After Hamels gave up a single to Atkins, putting runners on second and first, manager Charlie Manuel came to the mound and relieved Hamels, bringing in J.A. Happ. Happ ended the inning by getting Hawpe to ground out, 3-1, after earlier throwing a wild pitch which moved the runners up to third and second respectively. The score remained 7-2 until the bottom of the eighth, when the Rockies increased their lead with a three-run outburst. With Chad Durbin on the mound in relief, Fowler made it 8-2 Rockies with an one-out RBI single, as he knocked in Barmes, who had earlier reached base after being hit by the pitch and had moved up to second on pinch hitter Seth Smith's walk, while Smith stopped at second base. Spilborghs then singled in Smith, making it 9-2 Rockies, while sending Fowler over to third, putting runners on the corners. Helton then followed with a sacrifice fly, scoring Fowler, and giving the Rockies a 10-2 lead. In the ninth, Werth made it a 10-3 Rockies' lead as he hit a lead-off home run, his first of the season, off of Rockies' reliever Matt Belisle. But that would be it for the Phils, as Belisle got Ibanez to ground out to first, Greg Dobbs to strike out and Chris Coste to ground out, 6-3, to end the ballgame.
Cole Hamels took the lost for the Phils, as he pitched only three and two-thirds innings, giving up seven runs on eleven hits and a walk, while striking out only one batter. His record is now 0-1 with a high ERA of 17.18. J.A. Happ followed him and pitched an inning and a third of relief, giving up only one hit as he struck out one. Clay Condrey came to the mound next and pitched a 1-2-3 inning, striking out a batter. Chad Durbin then pitched an inning, giving up three runs on two hits, a walk, and a hit batter, while striking out one. Jason Marquis got the win for the Rockies, as he pitched a quality start, going seven innings, giving up just two runs on five hits and two walks, while striking out two. Marquis' record is now 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA. Alan Embree followed with a scoreless inning, giving up just one hit and a walk. Matt Belisle then pitched an inning of relief, giving up a run on one hit, Werth's home run, as he struck out a batter.
Jayson Werth led the team by going four for four, with two singles, a double and a home runs, scoring all three Phillies' run, increasing his batting average to .333. Chase Utley also had a good day, as he went two for three with a walk, increaing his average to .429. Carlos Ruiz, who went 0 for 2, with his average dropping down to .273, was taken out of the game for an injury to his right oblique.
The Phillies (1-3) will continue their three-game series with the Rockies (3-1) in Denver with a night game tonight at Coors Field. The game will start at 8:10 pm Eastern Time (6:10 pm Mountain). The Phillies' starter will be Brett Myers (0-1, 6.00), who will be looking for his first win of the young season, trying to improve on his start last Sunday against the Braves. The Rockies will counter with Jorge De La Rosa, who will be starting his first game of the year. Last season, in twenty-eight games, twenty-three of which were starts, he went 10-8 with a 4.92 ERA. This season, his record is 0-0 with a -.– ERA. The Phillies will be trying to tie the series with a win tonight.
Opening Night falls flat for the world champs as they lose to the Braves, 4-1.
First, the answer to last week's trivia question, which no one even attempted to answer. First, the question: Name the first ex-Phil to be elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame? And the answer is: Nap Lajoie is the first ex-Phil to be elected into the Baseball Hal of Fame, as he was elected as a member of the 1937 class, receiving 168 votes or 83.58% of the vote in the second Hall of Fame election, being that year's highest vote getter. Nap was a member of the Phils for four years, 1896-1900. A new weekly trivia question will be asked at the bottom of this post.
The 2009 regular season started last night as the 2008 World Champions Philadelphia Phillies faced one of their oldest rivals, the Atlanta Braves, in a night game at Citizens Bank Park, which included the raising of the 2008 banner and fireworks, as the Phils wore their special opening night uniforms with gold trim and the 2008 World Series patch.
Sadly, during the game itself, all of the fireworks were on the Atlanta Braves' side as they torched Phils' starter Brett Myers for four runs, via three home runs, in the first two innings. Things looked very promising for Myers as he easily got out the first two batters that he faced, via a fly out to center and a 6-3 ground out. Then Chipper Jones, with the count 3-2, hit a single to left, getting the first hit of the 2009 season. The next batter, Brian McCann then hit a 2-0 pitch into deep right field for a two-run home run, the first home run of the new season, as the Braves took a quick 2-0 lead. In the second, the Braves added to their lead as Jeff Francoeur hit his first home run of the year, a rocket into the left field seats, making it 3-0 Atlanta. One batter later, Jordan Schafer, in his first major league at-bat, made it 4-0 Braves as he slugged a 3-1 fastball into center field. Myers would settle down after that, giving up only five more hits as he pitched a total of six innings. While the Braves were raining on Myers' parade, Derek Lowe was expertly handcuffing the Phils, giving up only two hits in his eight strong innings of work, a one-out ground-rule double to Carlos Ruiz in the third inning, the first Phillies' hit of the season, who was then left stranded on second, and a two-out single to Jimmy Rollins in the sixth, who was then left on first as Jayson Werth lined out right to Lowe to end the inning. The Phils would finally score a run in the ninth inning, getting it off of reliever Mike Gonzalez. Pinch hitter Eric Bruntlett started the inning off with a pinch hit double. Rollins then flied out to right, sending Bruntlett over to third with one out. The next batter, Werth, then singled sharply to left, scoring Bruntlett, collecting the first Phillies RBI of the season, making it a 4-1 Braves' lead. Chase Utley followed with a walk, sending Werth over to second, and bringing up the tying run to the plate in the person of Ryan Howard. Howard, who had been given a steady diet of off-speed pitches all night by Lowe, saw five straight sliders from Gonzalez, working the count full. Thus, Howard was caught off-guard when pitch no. six from Gonzalez was a fast ball, the first one he had seen all night, which was sent right down the pike, for a call third strike. Howard was followed by Raul Ibanez, who, like Howard, was looking for his first hit of the year, and seeing if he could help his new team out early in the season. Sadly, it was not to be, as he struck out, swinging, on a 3-2 fastball, ending the ballgame as a 4-1 Braves' victory.
Brett Myers, in his six innings of work, gave up four runs on eight hits, including three home runs, and a walk while striking out six. His regular season record is now 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA. Jack Taschner, pitching in his first official game as a Phil, pitched a 1-2-3 inning as he struck out a batter. Scott Eyre followed him for two-thirds of an inning, recording a strikeout. Chad Durbin then pitched the final third of an inning, striking out the only batter he would face. Brad Lidge pitched the ninth for the Phils, pitching a 1-2-3 inning, including a strikeout. Derek Lowe pitched eight strong innings for the Braves, staying out of trouble all night, as he gave up only two hits to the Phils as he struck out four. His record is now 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA. Mike Gonzalez pitched an inning, giving up a run on two hits and a walk, while getting two very important strike outs to end the game.
At this point, Eric Bruntlett is leading the team in batting with a 1.000 batting average, as he went 1 for 1 with a double. Carlos Ruiz follows at .333, as he went 1 for 3 on the night with a ground-rule double. Jimmy Rollins and Jayson Werth follow with both men going 1 for 4 for a .250 batting average, with Werth having the Phils', at the moment, only RBI of the season.
The short series will continued tomorrow night at Citizens Bank Park. The game will start at 7:05 pm Eastern. The Phillies will send to the mound their ageless wonder Jamie Moyer, who record is presently 0-0 with a -.– ERA. The Braves will counter with Jair Jurrjens, who's record is also 0-0 with a -.– ERA.
Now, here is this week's trivia question: Name the first ten Phillies' Opening Day Pitchers? You all know where to find the answer. The answer will be posted on Thursday.
Post No. 500: Spring Training: Phillies lose final Spring Training game to the Rays, 9-7. Are ready for Opening Night.
Yesterday afternoon, the Phillies faced the Tampa Bay Rays in their final spring training game. Despite their best efforts, they lost the game to the Rays, 9-7.
The Phils' ace, Cole Hamels, started the game for the World Champs. In five innings of work, he gets rocked by the 2008 American League Champs, giving up six runs on six hits, including two home runs, a solo shot in the first inning to former teammate Pat Burrell and a three-run home run to Carlos Pena, also in the first, and a walk while striking out seven. Gary Majewski followed him, pitching a scoreless inning, giving up only a hit. J.C. Romero then took the mound for an inning, being hit for two runs on three hits and a walk. Cedrick Bowers followed Romero, pitching a 1-2-3 inning. Mike Koplove took the mound in the ninth, giving up a run on one hit and three walks while striking out a batter. Hamels took the lost, with his spring record now at 0-1 with a 9.39 ERA. In spite of the bad outing, the fact that Hamels was striking out a large number of batters in the ballgame should be an indication that he will be tough to face during the regular season.
Among the batters, the Phils had eleven hits against Rays' pitching. Matt Stairs led the way with three hits, two singles and a double, as he knocked in a run and scored a run, ending the spring with a .288 batting average. Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez both followed with two hits each, with Ibanez hitting a home run, a two-run shot in the fourth, along with a double, while Howard had two singles and scored a run. Howard ended the spring with a .333 batting average while Ibanez ended his with a .310 batting average. Hopefully, Howard will be able to translate his hot spring hitting into the regular season. If so, opposing pitchers are in for a long season while facing him. Jimmy Rollins, Jayson Werth, Greg Dobbs and Jason Donald had the other four Phillies' hits, with Dobbs' hit being a two-run home run in the fourth, while Donald's was a solo shot in the sixth. Werth's hit, a double, help knocked in a run. Werth ended the spring with a .333 average, after a slow start thanks to injury problems. Rollins ended his spring with a .351 batting average, after coming back from being hot while playing for Team USA in the WBC. Prospect Jason Donald will be headed for Triple-A Lehigh Valley with a .310 batting average.
The defending 2008 World Champions are now ready to begin their title defense, ready to become the first National League team to repeat as World Series Champs since the Pete Rose-Johnny Bench-Joe Morgan-led Big Red Machine of 1975-76.
The Phillies will play the first game of their title defense tonight at home against the Atlanta Braves, the first game of a three-game series with the Braves. The game will be played at Citizens Bank Park, with the game starting at 8:00 pm Eastern time. The game will be televisied nationally on ESPN. The Phillies' starter will be Brett Myers while the Braves will counter with Derek Lowe. Both starters' records will be 0-0 with a -.– ERA.
PLAY BALL!!! and GO PHILLIES!!!!!
Spring Training: Brett Myers gives up just a run as the Phils flatten the Blue Jays, 9-1.
Last night, Brett Myers, the now designated opening night starter, showed that he was ready to take the mound next Sunday night, as he pitched a strong four innings, giving up only one run on three scattered hits, with the run coming in on a Travis Snider solo home run in the second inning, as he struck out three. Relievers J.C. Romero and Ryan Madson then followed him, each man pitching a scoreless inning, giving up just one hit between them (Romero) while striking out a batter (Madson). Jack Taschner, making his spring training debut as a Phil after his trade to the team, then came on to pitch an inning, giving up just one hit. Brad Lidge and Gary Majewski then pitched the final two innings for the Phils, with both man pitching 1-2-3 innings, striking out three batters between them (Lidge 2, Majewski 1). Myers got the win, with his spring record now at 2-2 with a 3.52 ERA. Hopefully, it'll be the good Brett that will be making an appearance next Sunday night.
Batting-wise, the Phillies unloaded for nine runs and fifteen hits on Blue Jays' pitching. Jimmy Rollins, Jayson Werth, Raul Ibanez and Pedro Feliz each collected two hits, while Eric Bruntlett, Chase Utley, Pablo Ozuna, Ryan Howard, Paul Hoover, Jason Ellison and Chris Coste got the other seven. Ibanez' two hits were a double and a two-run home run, while both Rollins and Werth would also get doubles. Ibanez knocked in three of the Phils runs, Werth plated two, while Bruntlett, Howard, Ozuna and Matt Stairs each got an RBI, with Stairs' RBI coming in when he was hit by the pitch with the bases loaded.
The Phillies next Grapefruit League game is this afternoon against the New York Yankees from George M. Steinbrenner Field, in Tampa, Florida. The game is presently in progress.
Spring Training: Chan Ho Park is announced as the fifth starter.
As the Phillies were releasing Geoff Jenkins, they also announced that they have made Chan Ho Park the fifth man in their starting rotation. With the announcement, that places J.A. Happ in competition with Gary Majewski, Jack Taschner and Bobby Mosebach for the two bullpens spots that are still open.
This means that the Phillies' starting five are now Cole Hamels (ace), Brett Myers, Jamie Moyer, Joe Blanton and Park.
Spring Training: Phillies fall short as they lose to the Astros, 6-5.
In Kissimmee, Florida, the Phillies' ninth inning rally falls short as they lose to the Houston Astros, 6-5. Brett Myers started the game for the Phillies, getting dinged a bit by the Astros' bats as he went five and a third innings, giving up four runs, including a solo home run to Miguel Tejeda in the fourth, on eight hits and a walk as he struck out a batter. Ryan Madson followed him, pitching one and two-thirds innings, giving up just two hits and no runs as he strikes out one. Robert Mosebach pitched an inning, giving up two runs on three hits while striking out one. Myers took the lost with his spring training record now at 1-2 with a 3.79 ERA
Among the batters, the Phillies collected thirteen hits, but were only able to cash in five runs. Shane Victorino, Eric Bruntlett, Jayson Werth, Raul Ibanez, and Pedro Feliz would each get two hits, with Werth's two hits being a solo home run and a double. Matt Stairs, Rich Thompson and Chase Utley would get the other Phils' hits, with Stairs' hit being a pinch hit solo home run in the ninth inning. Bruntlett and Victorino also had doubles. Victorino, Bruntlett and Coste also knocked in runs, with Coste's RBI being a sacrifice fly. Utley's spring batting averages is now at .320, showing him to be ready for opening night.
The Phillies next Grapefruit League game will be played tomorrow afternoon against the Pirates at McKechnie Field in Bradenton, Florida. Game time is 1:05 pm Eastern.
Spring Training: Phillies come from behind to defeat the Blue Jays, 7-6.
After trailing for most of the game, the Phillies came from behind to defeat the Blue Jays, 7-6, thanks to a three-run ninth inning.
Chan Ho Park started the game for the Phillies, and produced a not too good outing which may hurt his changes in his battle with J.A. Happ for the last spot in the startingrotation. Park pitched four innings, giving up three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four Blue Jays. Robert Mosebach, who is fighting for a spot in the bullpen, follows, giving up a run on two hits and a walk in one inning of work. Chad Durbin follows him with a 1-2-3 inning, getting two strikeouts. Ryan Madson follows with a scoreless inning of his own, giving up a hit. Gary Majewski pitches two innings, giving up two runs on four hit and a walk as he strikes out a batter, while picking up the win, thanks to the Phillies scoring three runs in the top of the ninth. His spring training record is now 1-0 with a 3.27 ERA.
The Phillies' bats collected thirteen hits today, with Jayson Werth, Pedro Feliz and Carlos Ruiz leading the way with two hits each, with one of Werth's two hits being a solo home run. Miguel Cairo, Jason Ellison, Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Eric Bruntlett, Rich Thompson and Chris Coste each got a hit, with Utley's hit being a two-run home run. Utley would knock in three runs in the game, while Bruntlett knocks in two and Werth and Thompson knocks in a run each. Both Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino returned to the lineup after their stint with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. Both players went 0 for 2 with a walk each while Rollins crossed the plate with a run.
In other Phillies' news, Cole Hamels, who pitched in a minor league game at Clearwater, is expected to pitch on April 10 against the Colorado Rockies in Denver, the Phils' fourth game of the season, while Brett Myers will pitch opening night at Citizens Bank Park against the Atlanta Braves on April 5, to be followed by Jamie Moyer and Joe Blanton.
The Phillies will take the day off tomorrow before facing the New York Yankees on Thursday afternoon for the second time this week, this time from Bright House Field in Clearwater, Florida. Game time will be at 1:05 pm.
This week's trivia question is: Name the Phillies' pitcher who holds the major league record for the most losses in a season? You know where to find it, and I will reveal the answer on Thursday.
Spring Training: Phils get blanked by the Red Sox, 3-0.
Yesterday afternoon, the Phillies were defeated by the Red Sox, as the offense was thrown goose eggs all afternoon, losing 3-0.
Brett Myers, the most likely opening night starter, if the Phils decide to give Cole Hamels extra time to get ready for the season, started the game for the Phils. Myers pitched five innings, giving up two runs in the first on a two-run home run by Mike Lowell, before settling down and blanking the BoSox for the next four innings. He would give up five hits along with the two runs, as he walked five batters (seems like bad Brett wanted to come out yesterday) and a strike out. Robert Mosebach followed him, pitching a shut out inning, giving up only two hits. Chad Durbin pitched next, having a shut out inning, giving up no hits, as he walked one, who was later wiped out in a double play and struck out one. Ryan Madson pitched an inning, giving up a run on two hits, one of them being as solo home run to Chris Carter, as he struck out two batters. Myers took the lost, with his spring training record now being 1-1 with a ERA of 2.63.
The Phillies would only get six hits in the game. Jayson Werth, Raul Ibanez, Ryan Howard, John Mayberry, Jr., Pablo Ozuna and Carlos Ruiz would each get a hit, with Ibanez and Ruiz's hits being doubles. None of the batters were able to knock in a run.
In other Phillies news, Kyle Kendrick, as I'd expected, was sent down to the minors camp this morning. He will more than likely start the season pitching for the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. Hopefully, he'll come back with a better demeaner and a new pitch or two.
The Phils are presently playing the New York Yankees at Bright House Field in Clearwater.

Big 12 basketball has put together a decent season. Despite the disappointments at Texas and West Virginia, the league could still possibly get six teams into the NCAA tournament.
As is the case with all successful teams, there are players who do not necessarily get the press they deserve but are vital contributors. Of course, they are glue guys. These players do the dirty work and fill in the gaps for their respective teams.
The Big 12 is home to some of the best glue guys in the country. From Kevin Young at Kansas to Will Spradling at Kansas State to Michael Cobbins at Oklahoma State, several of these players could be determining factors in whether their teams make deep runs in the NCAA tournament.
Here are the top five glue guys in Big 12 basketball.

Climate Change and Variability Program Approach
Incorporating information on long-term climate change and short-term climate variability into Reclamation's water resource management infrastructure and operations is critical. Climate change involves a shift in the envelope of climatic variations, usually measured over a span of several decades. Climate variability involves fluctuations in weather and climatic conditions during the coming days to years. Improving our ability to forecast and use climate change and variability information would greatly enhance the ability of water managers and water users to plan their short-term operations and water delivery.
Climate Change and Variability (CCV) research is one of several priority areas in Reclamation's Science and Technology Program. Since 2011, the Science and Technology Program has provided 1.5 to 2 million dollars annually and leveraged resources from other agencies to support various projects designed to improve knowledge, methods, and tools in the area of CCV. Investing in CCV efforts includes:
- Collaborative research roadmapping with Federal and non-Federal water science and management agencies to identify science gaps and priorities.
- Annual calls for CCV proposals from Reclamation principal investigators through
the Science and Technology Program Call for Proposals (i.e., competed research).
- Annual engagement with external research collaborators to support research that addresses high-priority science gaps that are underrepresented in the proposals submitted through the Science and Technology Program Call for Proposals (i.e., directed research).
- Periodic meetings with science providers and users to take stock in research
accomplishments and update menu of gaps and priorities.
Two CCAWWG-sponsored needs assessments currently frame Reclamation's CCV science investment priorities:
- Reclamation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 2011. Addressing Climate Change in Long-Term Water Resources
Planning and Management: User Needs for Improving Tools and Information. Authored contributions from other
Federal, non-Federal, and non-government entities. (Report links)
- Reclamation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 2013. Short-Term Water Management Decisions: User Needs for Improved Climate, Weather, and Hydrologic Information. Authored contributions from other Federal, non-Federal, and non-government entities. (News release and report links)
