In A Pickle
Defense in the 2012 Pennant Races
I'd like to tell you an introductory anecdote or post a GIF (soft-g) or something to ease you in to what we're about to engage in, but I don't think my chops are up to snuff, so why don't we just dive in?
There's a neat thing we provide in our stat reports on this website. It's called Team Defensive Efficiency and it has two key stats: defensive efficiency (DE), a very basic measure attributable to Bill James that simply says what percentage of balls in play a defense converts into outs, and Park Adjusted Defensive Efficiency (PADE), a metric designed almost a decade ago (gosh I'm old) by James Click, who these days graces the Rays' front office roster, serving as their Director of Baseball Research and Development. PADE, as the name implies, adjusts for each team's park's effect on their defensive performance and spits out a number that represents a percentage above or below average at turning balls in play into outs.1
You could click over to the stat report, but I'm afraid if you do that, you'll never come back here, so I'll reproduce an excerpt. Here's a table of baseball teams showing their defensive efficiencies and their PADEs, as grabbed on Wednesday night (i.e. the stats are updated through Tuesday's games), sorted by DE :
If you haven't looked at these stats before, I think the most interesting and important part is to get a sense of scale, an idea of the spread between good and bad. Let's look at a subset (for no real reason): The worst American League defense by DE turns about 69 percent of balls into outs; the best is a touch above 72 percent. Similarly, the PADEs range from two and a half percent below to two and a half percent above average. Those don't seem like huge differences! But that's why I wanted to write this, because those spaces between top and bottom in overall defense2 don't look that large but will (don't skip to the end!) turn out to be larger than you might realize.
Let's start by adding the balls in play and outs each team has recorded to the above table:3
I don't know if there's an easy way to visualize how many balls that is, to make it somehow concrete or to create a useful metaphor. If you can, then I'm happy for you. If you can't, that's OK—we'll get to more concrete ways to understand these numbers below.
There are some interesting pieces to look at, though, like picking out some pairs of teams for comparison. The A's and Royals are separated by 65 balls in play but 161 outs, for instance. Or: Look how few balls in play the horrendous Detroit defense has had to deal with. That's called matching a strength to a weakness. Maybe this Dave Dombrowski guy knows a little somethin' about somethin'.
Back in the main thread of things, when you add up all those balls in play and all those outs, you find that the league defensive efficiency is about .707. We can use this to figure out how many outs each team would have recorded on its balls in play if it had an average defense, and then see how many outs above or below average it actually did record.4 (I've rounded everything to whole numbers here because, eh, this ain't science. Any precision implied by decimal points would be false.)
This is starting to get a little more concrete, right? We know what outs are. There are 27 of them in a game, and these numbers are small enough that we can compare them to the number of games the teams have played. The Nationals, for instance, have recorded an extra out about once every three games.
Colorado, which as you will note from PADE cannot blame Coors for this, has gifted the bad guys more outs than any other team by a wide margin. One hundred seven outs! That's a lot of outs. Honestly, is it any wonder that Josh Outman (8.72 ERA) isn't living up to his name? It's his defense's fault!
But those are the unadjusted numbers. How can we park-adjust them? Here's what we do. Take PADE and divide by 100 to get it from percentage format into a decimal that we can actually use in maths. Then multiply that by the AvgOuts we figured in Table 3 because what PADE tells us is how many more (or fewer) outs a team gets than the league average. Fairly straightforward, right? Here's the table:
Colorado got worse!
Hey, you want to really pile on a team that doesn't need you in its ear? Check out Boston. They've posted a respectable DE this year, just a tad below league average, but that park, per the PADE methodology, means that the Red Sox should have been recording a whole lot more outs, so their PADE-based outs "above" average winds up worse than all but four teams in baseball.
But even if we use the devices of "one out every N games" as we did above with Washington, we're still operating in the realm of outs and balls in play, which aren't natural numbers that we're used to dealing with. They're a little foreign. Do you, off the top of your head, know what the run value of an out is? I'm sure a couple of you will raise your hands (stop showing off), but I'm equally sure that most of you will need to go look it up, just like I do. Maybe I'm projecting. Either way, though, the question is how to translate these "extra outs" numbers into runs. And here's where it gets complicated and where we have to start getting into estimation, where we leave the realm of actual facts and enter fantasy lands that we hope approximate reality.
The problem is that we don't know which balls were caught by Matt Joyce from Tampa but were not caught by Carlos Gonzalez in Colorado. Which teams are turning gappers (likely doubles and occasional triples) into outs? Which teams are letting infield bleeders (likely singles) through? Which team is really bad at the Bermuda Triangle play where two outfielders and one middle infielder all converge and nobody catches the ball while the runner hustles his way into second for the cheapest "double" you'll ever see?
We don't know. There's data out there that claims to know things of this sort, and if there's an official Baseball Prospectus position on that data, I haven't heard it, but you can count me as one of those convinced by Colin Wyers's work in the area showing that the biases in at least some of that data are too significant to ignore. So I don't want to use that data. I want to figure out what we can know from the objective numbers we have on the defensive efficiency stat report and that we can figure for decades and decades into the past if we want.
So what we have to do is make some estimates. The two ways to convert Outs Above Average into runs that immediately come to (my) mind are like so:
There are surely other ideas for how to convert outs into runs, but this article is running long enough as it is.
Figuring a value for the Outs Above Average the first way is easy. In 2010,5 the linear weights value of a single (for the offense) was 0.4595 and the value of an out was -0.1645. Thus the value of turning what would be a single into an out is 0.624 runs saved for the defense. (And the value of turning an out into a single is obviously -0.624.) Let's add those values to our table:
These acronyms are getting absurd, I realize, but hopefully it's pretty clear what everything means. Is it? Maybe it's not. "PADEOAA-RAA" is "Park Adjusted Defensive Efficiency–based Outs Above Average hyphen Runs Above Average." Got it? That's the runs total for the outs figure that's based on PADE. The column to the left of that is the runs total for the outs figure that's based on raw defensive efficiency. So we've got runs! Finally! We know what runs are.
The Padres, then, if you like PADE and you assume that every ball they caught that other teams missed would have only been a single, have been 49 runs above average on defense this year. In their run environment, that's over five wins easily. Sadly, this is the Padres we're talking about, so we're looking at the difference between 64 wins (17 1/2 games out of first) and their current 69 wins (12 1/2 games out). Defense turned them from pitiful into an also-ran!
On the other end of the spectrum are the Rockies, who currently have a run differential of -101. All else being equal, were their defense average instead of pitiful, they could be ... well, they could be the Padres, who have a -37 differential.
Enough N.L. West talk. Ready for the final addition? Here we go.
In 2010, the breakdown of singles, doubles, and triples6 on hits in play went like this: about 75.4 percent were singles, 22.4 percent were doubles, and 2.3 percent were triples. (Rounding is why there's an extra 0.1 percent.) Multiplying each of these percentages by the linear weights values of each event (0.4595 again for singles, 0.7595 for doubles, 1.0295 for triples) results in a "hits in play" linear weights value of 0.5396. Going back to the same outs value of -0.1645 means that a potential hit turned into an out by this accounting saves 0.7041 runs for the defense. Does that make sense?
Final table!
This method, of course, pushes the teams at either end even farther out to the extremes. The A's, for instance, add five runs by this method and clock in at 40 runs above average. The team's pitching staff has gotten a lot of love (not undeservedly! They're fifth in baseball in Fair Run Average) and the offense has received some notice in the second half (fifth in baseball in runs since the All-Star break—no, seriously, go look), but boy howdy, a four- to five-win defense is an awfully nice thing to have, isn't it?
And how about the American League Central? Here are the Tigers: 75-67. Here are the White Sox: 76-66. And here's the gap between the two teams on defense, rounded to a nice round number: 50 runs. I don't know what kind of runs-to-wins conversion you prefer in your baseball analysis, but the ones I favor have 50 runs being worth way more than one win.
Noting, by the way, that the Tigers have received just a .261/.292/.408 line from their designated hitters this season, it's certainly fair to ask whether Brandon Inge's plus defense at third and .218/.275/.383 batting line might have served Motor City better than its collection of DHs and Miguel Cabrera's dastardly defense at the hot corner. (To be fair, Cabrera's FRAA stands at just -2 for the season. On the other hand, Inge's is +3 in less than 3/5 of the playing time, and, again, the gap between Detroit and Chicago is one game.)
So! We've come to the conclusion and my utter lack of narrative structure in this piece is about to be exposed. I don't have a conclusion. I'll have to steal a trick from Tommy Bennett and ask you all a question instead:
Do you like defense? Is defense fun?

I am requesting that this go to the top of the corporation. You have one extremely dissatisfied customer which will result in many. I purchased tix from your site on 08/08/2007. When I purchased my tix - next to them stated "front row". In my world, front row means front row. I purchased each ticket for $250. So for a total of $500 I was expecting to see Kathy Griffin in the front row. The day of the event, which is today I looked up the actual theatre online to view out of excitement. To my dismay, I came to find out that I was actually in the 2nd to last row in the entire theatre. I immediately called 1-800-stub hub in New Mexico. I spoke to multiple reps, all stating that was the front of that last section and they couldn't assist. I then spoke to the final person Floor Supervisor. He also stated the same. I asked for his boss and he said I don't have one. You have to write to customer service. Let me say that I am high in the corporate world and I have never been treated so ignorantly. With no idea of venue seating, when I see a ticket for sale and right next to it it reads, "front row" and pay $250 for a $39.50 seat, I expect to be in the front row. I am requesting a full refund of my monies and you can have your tickets back. Either this or get me in the front row by this evening which I highly doubt you can control at this time. I am extremely disappointed in my transaction nightmare, but most of all of how I was treated as a CUSTOMER.
I would hope that someone in this corporation recognizes this and has the ability to satisfy a customer needs, and I would also recommend that a Floor Supervisor would have authority levels to handle these on one off situations. I did not even make use of the tickets. I refused to drive over 2 hours to an event to sit in the back row. Customer service is critical to the success of any corporation and I would assume that I'd rather refund $500 than to have a dissatisfied customer especially when ticket services are mainly driven from good experiences and word of mouth. This cannot go un-noticed unless made right. I would appreciate a response immediately in reference to this request. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. I can be contacted with info provided. In addition, original complaint filed with StubHub and Better Business Bureau on 08/18/2007 and I still have not been contacted in regards to this matter. Now here's a company that cares about their customer.
I would like a full refund of all monies spent in excess of $500.
Shelley - I just got hosed by StubHub with a similar story. Buyingtickets to a bowl game, where there were 5,000 tickets available. Theyare listed as 2 tickets in row M, but when I received them one is inrow L and the other in row M. Apparently, the seller's use of theterm "Piggyback" in the notes is supposed to signal to me that theyare not toegther - despite the fact that StubHub deos not define theterm anywhere on its web site and that they listed it as 2 tickets inRow M.
Sometimes I wish I were a dishonest person, then I could sell mytickets on Stub Hub and say anything I want, knowing there would be norepercussions.
Same situation with the "Floor Supervisor" who is apparently a personwho has no authority to make things right.
Stubhub sold me invalid tickets belonging, to James Manfredonia ofNYC, to the September 18th Yankees game. I have asked several timesfor an answer: Did they or the owner of the tickets commit fraud? Iam still waiting for their reply, despite several requests for ananswer. Oh - they did send me a $200 credit. The cost of my tripexceeded $4k. I do plan to submit a complaint to the NY AttorneyGeneral's office. I hope this will work; I have my doubts. I seeStubHub (an EBAY Co) donated to the AG's political campaign fund. I amopen to joining a class action, if others want to do the same.
Stub Hub Customer - did you ever receive any resolution on yourmatter? Well Stub Hub did the same thing to me. I bought 4 tickets toa Diamondback game and paid $25/ each. When I got the tickets they hada face value of $7.50 and were clear across the park in the bleacherseats from where I had been promised the tickets were. I have tried &tried unsuccessfuly to get this resolved and was wondering if yourswas. I plan to sue in small claims. email@example.com
Your best chance is to do a charge back on your credit card, if youused one, and then just fight it out. Clearly the product wasmisrepresented. IMHO, that is what I would do. Their corporate officedid nothing for you, basically they gave you a "canned" response. Goodluck!
That's unfortunate you didn't use the tickets Shelley.
Based upon how StubHub has seemed to show their seating charts andsold those tickets to you, it doesn't seem you have the option ofreceiving any form of refund.
Wow. I can't think of anyone I'd pay that much to see. I've neverspent more than face value for concert tickets in my life! I guessthat's because I plan ahead and buy them the day they go on sale!
I'm not sure if you're aware of this or not, but it appears that youpurchased second party tickets. I just bought some for a Broadwayplay and you get what you pay for.......too much. I too attempted tobuy Kathy Griffin tickets for her performance in my city, but theywere sold out. Those tickets were 52.00 each. But I did find them onthe secondary market, through another company for 280.00 each. Inever realized that there was a secondary ticket market for shows. Ido now. It's my choice to purchase them and take them at "face value"which it clearly states online when you purchase them. In the case ofKathy Griffin, although she's hysterical and one of the funniestcomedians around, I don't think she's worth 250.00 each. I thought52.00 was enough. So for you to forgo seeing the show because youdidn't like your seat. Your defiance just cost you 500.00. That'spretty pathetic. Get over yourself. And lesson now well learned. Ihope.
Which is one post below this. Just wanted to say I went to Stubhub,and looked up some tickets. They were fixed price, and a map of thevenue came up with the sections labeled. The OP should have been ableto figure out what they were buying before laying down $250 a ticket.
I realize the OP's ticket may not have automatically brought up adiagram of that venue. However, considering the CSR reply below andwhat I saw, the OP should have been more wary before buying. As thereply states, help is available to identify seats. On the StubHubwebsite there is also a help section prominently displayed (I didn'tgo looking) that offers help in finding seat locations.
I think the OP's seat was in section C - that should have raised aflag.
Wow, what a lovely response. Calm, informative and intelligent.Thanks, Melissa.
Wow, I cannot imagine paying $500 for such an event. Before givingyour credit card info, you should have made sure you knew the seatassignment. This is a bitter lesson that should stay with you.
You said, "Let me say that I am high in the corporate world and Ihave never been treated so ignorantly." Sad to say, but you were theignorant one. You did not do your research. Also, your bragging aboutyour position sounds self important and certainly will not help yourcause. I really do not think you will ever see a refund.
I agree with other posters. Contact your credit card company anddispute the charge. I think will be your only recourse.
We use stub hub... I'm pretty sure I know exactly what happened... When you list tickets you have to put the section number. It is thenthe buyer's responsibility to look up the venue and find the section. I would put money on it that the op saw "FRONT ROW" and didn't botherto look for a section number.
As far as Stub Hub is concerned... they aren't responsible forrefunding your money. The seller is and I wouldn't count on it. Thisis posted at the bottom of their first page... "You are buyingtickets from a third party; neither StubHub.com nor StubHub, Inc. isthe ticket seller. Ticket prices are set by the seller and may differfrom face value. ALL SALES AND BIDS ARE FINAL. No refunds, transactioncancellations or exchanges will be issued for date/time changes orpartial performances. Cancelled events will be handled on a case bycase basis. All prices listed are in US dollars."
this is like eBay for event tickets?
While I think it stinks that you got swindled, I don't know how muchluck you are going to have getting them to cough up your money fromthis.
I hope that you paid with a credit card and not cash - you could trydisputing the charge with your CC co. on the basis of fraud (theydidn't deliver what they advertised to you).
You might also consider notifying the legal department in the citythis company lists themselves to be located in.
I know in Cleveland, there are stringent rules (rarely enforced, butstrongly worded) outlining how, when and where people can "resell"event tickets. They may be violating the law by selling the ticketsat such an inflated markup online.
Bottom line, you learned a VERY expensive lesson and regardless of howimportant you think you are, bad luck can happen to anyone.
Next time, use more common sense.
Do I think you got ripped off? Absolutely.
But you paid insane amounts of money to see KATHY GRIFFIN of allpeople (why not just stare at the feces-throwing howler monkeys at thezoo for the same basic effect?).
Apparently the fact that the price was 7 times more than it shouldhave been never quite phased you.
Frankly, if you're that gullible I'd think getting scammed would be aregular occurance for you, and I'm surprised you're bothering to evencomplain anymore.
Damn you got ripped off, but the only person to blame is yourself.
Why did you pay for the tickets when you found out the price? I'msorry, but $500 is way too much for any act, musical, comical,whatever.
Btw, I wouldn't pay 5 cents to see Kathy Griffin.
$500 for Kathy Griffin tickets? My wife went to see her here inDenver, and the FRONT row tickets were 70 bucks at the most, and thisis from an expensive comedy club. Take it as a life lesson, do someresearch next time, and move on.
You want a refund of all monies spent in excess of $500? From thatstatement I would gather that you do not want a refund since you onlyspent $500.
Stub Hub acts as a third party facilitator for event tickets. Someonehas them, you want them and Stub Hub puts you together. They have nocontrol over the price, it's set by the person selling the tickets. You don't want to pay the price, you don't make the transaction,similar to ebay and any other auction site.
The key with using an auction site is to research the top amount theitem is actually going for so you'll know if you're getting a gooddeal. My husband needed a part for the used truck we bought. We wentonline and found the cheapest price that you could get it new, whichwas $81 plus shipping. Then he knew when he bid on one on E-Bay howhigh he wanted to go and we got it for $48 plus shipping.
In view of the fact that you are "high in the corporate world", onewould think that you would be far to intelligent to pay $250 for a$39.50 seat from an on-line reseller's website.
I just read their frequently asked questions and personally wouldn'tbuy a $7.00 movie ticket from them much less drop $%500 for twotickets to see Kathy Griffin or anyone else for that matter.
Bottom line? You didn't buy the tickets from StubHub - - you boughtthem from a third party who was responsible for accurately describingthe location of the seats. If you want to get technical about it, youbeef is with the person who actually sold the tickets - - no StubHub.
Go ahead and file all the complaints you want - - heck - - why notinclude the FCC, FTC, ATF and anyone else you can think of. Their"guarantee" appears pretty iron clad so your chances of a refund areslim at best.
That is their own description. I would be suspicious of buyingscalped tickets in person. You bought over the internet.
The people at StubHub probably ordered lunch on you today.
I have never heard of StubHub I always use Ticketwest orTicketmaster.
I think red flags would of raised for me paying $250 bucks a seat!
We have seen Seinfeld and Lewis Black didnt have front row seats butabout in the middle and only payed around 40 bucks.
I just cant imagine paying that much.
You can just throw $500 away like that? If you worked for me, you'dlikely have been fired by now for making stupid decisions based onignorance and misplaced pride.
It also sounds like you don't know how to read a seating chart. How'dyou get so high up in the corporate world? You're a suckah for payingridiculous prices for $40 tickets.
While I find Kathy Griffin to be occasionally funny, she's certainlynot one of the funniest comedians around.
You won't get a single penny back from them, and you don't deserve to.
I love Kathy Griffin! I happily paid my $50 for a ticket and gotbetter seats than you. That's what happens when you go through ascalper. And by the way, who cares if you are high in the corporateworld?
Honestly, if you were that desparate to see Kathy Griffin, just sitdown and watch her on Bravo. There is a reason she's not on the A Listof comedians.
$250 to listen to a woman make comedic tirades about her *ahem* andother various body parts? No thanks.
Calm down! Just call the credit card company you used to pay for thetickets and file a claim; they can help you get your money back if youwere truly defrauded. It takes time and you have to have proof, so getyour ducks in order and make the call. This isn't the end of theworld. And who is Kathy Griffin???
What kind of professional, corporate ladder, snotty, pantyhose tootight, professional anot orders from Stub-Hub?????
What a brat.
I wouldnt even pay the $39.50 face value to see Kathy Griffin, butthats not the point I want to make. StubHub is just a site wherescalpers can put their tickets up for sale for suckers to overpay forthem They are just like an Ebay. In fact, I believe Ebay ownsStubHub now. If dopes such as yourself didnt pay these highlyinflated prices for shows, then these scalpers would not be inbusiness. The internet has destroyed the entire ticket business. Asan avid concertgoer, I have been shut out of tickets numerous timesbecause scalpers all around the country can buy up tickets for localshows. Joe Scalper from Timbuktu can now buy up a large amount oftickets for a show in Chicago and resell them online at a much higherprice. In the past, the ticket scalping business was just local andnot a real problem, it has just become ridiculous now. People arestill arrested for scalping on the street, but some people can make aliving reselling tickets in front of their computer, and they willnever be regulated.
Getting back to my point, this is no ones fault but your own. Impretty sure all ads include the section, row, and seat number, youcouldve looked online at a seating chart before being duped intopaying way too much to see a comedian. Next time just buy a DVD. Imsure StubHub is getting quite a laugh out of this whole situation, Iknow I am.

DuneFest brings riders from all over US and beyond
WINCHESTER BAY, Ore. -- It's a family event that draws people from all over, and the fun is already getting started out at 'Mother Nature's sandbox.'
Although DuneFest doesn't officially kick off until Wednesday, people are already coming into the area.
Clark Anderson, the event co-chair, says it's an adrenalin-filled weekend on the coast. "It's just a lot of excitement, it's the most fun a family can have in the sand," he said.
Joe Barghini came up from California for the festivities. "You have the kids, they bring their friends, the family atmosphere here is just great," he said.
DuneFest attracts families from not just the United States, but also from Canada and Europe.
Event coordinators manage to change things up every year, and that's why they say people keep coming out. "I've seen the transformation from what it was back 11, 12 years ago than what it is today, a lot more events, a lot more family oriented things," said camp host Tony Pena.
People are already hitting the sand in Winchester Bay enjoying time out on the dunes.
For all the information on the event, you can visit the DuneFest 2013 Web site.

A livestock theft bill (AB 924) moved swiftly through the California's Senate and Assembly last week, passing with unanimous, bi-partisan support. It now is in the hands of Gov. Jerry Brown and, if signed, would establish a $5,000 fine for anyone convicted of livestock theft.
The need for steeper fines for stealing livestock couldn't come at a better time. Last year, more than 1,000 head of cattle were stolen from the state's farmers and ranchers, costing ranchers around $1 million. Criminals aren't just focusing on beef cattle. In July, thieves stole 26 Jersey calves from a Stanislaus County dairy.
According to Valley Public Radio, the bill merges two sections of existing law focusing on living and dead livestock into one and adds the $5,000 fine. All proceeds from the fines would go to the California Department of Food and Agriculture's Bureau of Livestock Identification.
"This will help all livestock, whether you're a bunny, whether you're a goat producer, whether you've got a mule, a horse, sheep, lamb, hogs, it will help all of those producers through the same mechanism," said Republican Assembly Member Frank Bigelow who authored AB 924 and is a cattle rancher in Madera County.

Pastry Chef Kierin Baldwin of The Dutch may be best known for pie (she was crowned New York's Pie "champion" by the Times last year). But her other desserts can be just as good, like these fried-to-order Pumpkin Doughnuts ($11).
The cake doughnuts arrive piping hot with thin but crispy skins that give way to a moist and lightly baked interior. The pumpkin flavor is subtle, the crumb smooth, and the cinnamon sugar coating enlivened with a touch of salt.
The accompanying bowl of ginger pudding with caramelized apples and candied hazelnuts is complete (and delicious) enough to be a stand-alone dessert. The pudding's ginger flavor is subtle at first, but wait for it, it'll build. The pudding base is refreshingly low in sweetness and the caramelized apples, which I loved, reminded me of a slightly chewier pate de fruit. Candied hazelnuts and a single candied sage leaf add crunch and salty contrast.
It's a perfect winter dessert, and will be be available for at least another two weeks, but don't wait too long.

…These tips will help keep your portions in check without driving you crazy!
- Remember that 6-second, 50-calorie burst of nonstick spray we were talking about? Control your oil usage by measuring out a half teaspoon of oil and drizzle it into your pan and then spread it on the pan with a paper towel. Half a teaspoon of olive oil only has 20 calories and 2g of fat!
- To avoid the sodium bomb that eating a whole can of soup would bring, try buying single-serving containers of lower-sodium soups, such as Campbell's Soup at Hand. If that doesn't feel like enough, try adding some raw veggies and fresh fruit to round out your meal.
- A pint of ice cream typically contains 4 servings but do you regularly split a pint with 3 friends? Didn't think so. When we buy foods that are packaged in such a way that they feel like a single serving (like a can of soup or pint of ice cream) we are more likely to treat it as one. That's why you are better off buying a larger half gallon of ice cream, and investing in an ice cream scooper that scoops up a nice half-cup serving rather than eating straight out of a pint container. Also, I recommend serving up your ice cream in a coffee mug or tea cup rather than a cereal bowl. My grandfather always eats his ice cream this way. A half a cup of ice cream looks like a whole lot more in a cozy mug than it does in a large bowl!
- Coffee creamer is another item that you can accidently overdo. It says that a serving is a teaspoon, which for most fat-free creamers, would come to 10 calories and zero grams of fat, but when you pour a "splash" into your coffee, you are probably more likely pouring in about two tablespoons of creamer, which has about the same calorie and fat content as an equal amount of regular half and half (40 calories, 2g fat). A more realistic, but still portion-controlled, serving is one tablespoon. You can find the little single-serving cups (like they have in restaurants and hotels) online. Each single-serving cup has exactly a tablespoon, so you know exactly how big a splash you are pouring in your coffee.
- When I ask clients to pour a serving of cereal into a bowl, they are always surprised to see that they usually pour a half to a full cup more than the 1 cup serving size listed on the label. And I will admit that I even overpour more often than not when I am just free-pouring. That's why I invested in several sets of measuring cups from my local dollar store and keep one in every box of cereal, bag of nuts and other dry goods and snack foods in my pantry. That way it's just as easy to measure a correct serving size as it is to free-pour myself an extra 200 calories! Skipping those extra 200 calories per day can prevent me from gaining an extra 20 lbs per year!
So as you can see, serving sizes are important and can be confusing, but they don't have to be. Just remember to read your labels first and use these easy strategies. How do you outsmart serving sizes?

California eases 'Made in USA' requirements
New legislation that loosens the requirements for products sold in California to carry a 'Made in USA' label was signed into law in last week. The move gives apparel companies more flexibility in sourcing their products and could lower the likelihood of litigation.

8" 2007-2008 GM 2500HD 4WD Performance Lift Kit
This Performance Suspension System is accomplished via one-piece cast drop down steering knuckles attaching to heavy-duty 1/4 inch thick, high arched lower control arm crossmembers with tubular upper control arms. Fabtech's combination of steering knuckle, high arched crossmembers and upper control arms provides an excellent ride quality with high ground clearance. This system will provide a true 8 inches of lift without adjustment to the torsion bars allowing the use of 37 inch tall tires. The front differential is properly relocated to eliminate front driveshaft vibration on 2001-06 vehicles with the stock driveshaft. On later model vehicles with Magna 1625 transfer cases the system requires the use of a CV front driveshaft to address high speed 4WD use. New tubular upper control arms fit into the stock frame pockets using urethane bushings. Upper control arms include double shock mounting tabs for integration with Fabtech's optional front dual shock hoop system. The front suspension is completed with an differential skid plate, tubular crossmember supports and impact struts while the torsion bar drop down brackets properly align the torsion bars to the relocated stock lower control arms. The rear suspension is lifted using a 4 inch block kit with 2 inch add a leafs. The system is completed with rear bump stop brackets and a rear driveshaft carrier bearing drop bracket.

The treatment and management of infertility in men will depend on the underlying cause or causes of the infertility. Treatment will focus on correcting any structural or hormonal abnormalities that may be influencing infertility. This may be accomplished through medications or surgery. Lifestyle changes and other treatments, such as assisted reproductive technologies (ART), may be used to enhance semen quality and increase the likelihood of fertilization.
The ultimate goal of infertility treatment is a pregnancy ending in the birth of a healthy baby. Infertility treatments can be lengthy and expensive. They are not always covered by medical insurance, and they are not always successful.
Treatment involves the following:
Lifestyle changes
Alternative and complementary therapies

Well-Aimed Shot
This poem was written by student Michael Cumming in Writing on War, WRTG3019, at the University of Utah.
Well-Aimed Shot
By Michael Cumming
Crunchy, brown, dried up grass covers the ground.
The stench of rotting trash and sewage fills the air.
The sun blazes down, baking my motionless body.
Sweat drips into my eyes causing them to sting.
Lying on my stomach in the prone position
Body aching from having not moved for hours
Muscles tight as I hold my Kevlar weighted head up and
M-4 Carbine tightly and steadily in my shoulder.
A young Iraqi boy comes into view, 300 meters from my position
He pulls a shovel out of the ditch next to the road,
Looks around to see if anyone is watching
He has no idea that I am here
And begins to dig, slowly.
I hate what I have to do next.
He doesn't know better,
He isn't old enough to think for himself.
Such a young life, such a waste
If only he came from a family that wasn't so poor
Then maybe Al Qaeda wouldn't be able to buy him off
Then I wouldn't have to take,
Such a young life
Time to make the transition in my mind.
Time to dehumanize the enemy.
This is not a boy anymore,
Just a target
I rest my cheek on the butt-stock,
Line up the target in my sight,
Make sure I have a clear sight picture,
Make sure I have a good sight alignment.
Focus on the front sight post, not on the target
Steady breath now
Breathe in, breathe out
Exhale slowly, expend all air.
Slow steady, trigger squeeze
Don't jerk, don't anticipate the shot
Nice and smooth,
The smell of carbon immediately fills my nostrils.
The empty casing flies out from the ejection port cover,
Flipping end over end through the air,
The hot piece of brass landing in the grass beside me.
I watch my target jerk like a deer as
The bullet tears through it,
Then turns and falls to the ground.
It's a good hit, target is down.
I watch my target wiggling
Writhing in pain in the dirt.
Stillness now, as he has given
Up the fight.
I wait to see if anyone else comes.
Five minutes, no one has shown up
My position is compromised,
It's time to move.
As I get up slowly from my position,
My mind begins to think of the target as a boy,
I can't allow that now, someday I will
Grieve for him and for me.

Since then I've tried different sizes of silicone baking cups, found a new favorite brand, and posted quite a few more recipes for egg muffins, cottage cheese and egg muffins, and whole wheat and almond flour muffins using this type of baking cup. So I'm updating this post with all that information, and if you're already a fan of silicone baking cups this post will give you lots of breakfast ideas using them!
There is no need to stress over having a certain size of baking cups though, it's really a personal preference. Just realize that when you're using a smaller size the baking time might be a bit shorter and when you're using a larger size the baking time might be a bit longer.
(Some of mine are fairly old, so they may be different colors than the ones currently in stock at Amazon.com, but I'm giving the links above to help people quickly find the size they want if you're looking for a certain size.)
The Chambers Bay Silicone Baking Cups come in two sizes. STANDARD SIZE are the smaller size I described above, and JUMBO SIZE are the medium size I described above. Jumbo size is the one I like best in the Chamber's Bay cups.
Just in case anyone is wondering, Chamber's Bay has no idea I'm writing about their muffin cups. If you do follow one of my links and buy muffin cups at Amazon, Kalyn's Kitchen earns a few cents on the dollar, so thanks for that! Now here are the things I've made using Silicone Baking Cups; enjoy!

Sacristy ransacked in break-in at the Friary
CLERGY arriving at the Friary in Wexford for Mass last Thursday were horrified to discover the sacristy completely ransacked after a Christmas break-in.
Intruders who had gained access to the church between the hours of 12.45 a.m. and 9 a.m. by smashing a side window of the sacristy, proceeded to wreak havoc once they were inside.
Father Ciprian was shocked to discover the damage that had been done.
'Everything was completely upside down,' he said. ' When we came in everything was broken and all over the floor.
'They had thrown all of the vestments on the floor, and a box of CDs that had been on a table were thrown all over the floor and smashed. We called the Gardaí immediately and they investigated what they could from the scene. Then we had to clean up straight away in order to be ready for Mass.'
While those responsible were intent on vandalism, Fr Ciprian believes that a small amount of money (approximately €50) was stolen, along with a few of the CDs.
Gardaí are still working with Father Ciprian to establish if anything else was taken during the break in.
What amazed Father Ciprian further was how the vandals managed to gain access to the sacristy.
'The window which they smashed was very small,' he said.
'I don't know how they managed to get through it. One of them must have cut themselves getting in because there was a small amount of blood on the window and on some of the vestments. The Gardaí took samples of the blood, along with some fingerprints, and are investigating the matter at the moment.'
Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the vicinity of the Friary between the hours of 12.45 a.m. and 9 a.m. on Thursday to contact them at Wexford Garda Station.

Step 1: Before each half, hang a $100 dollar bill behind the Pacers' basket.
As we know, our big man in the middle has become consumed with desire for the green. So the hope in doing this is for him to see the money, get excited, and be psychologically tricked into getting as close to it as he can. As long as the bill is hung in the right place, all Hibbert will have to do is literally let go of the ball to try and catch the bill and the ball will fall into the basket unhindered.
We can't just hang it over both, because if you end up going up against a player like Javale McGee it may actually work to our disadvantage. And Javale may actually break a hand trying to get through the glass. Hibbert at least is held back by his inability to jump.
Step 2: Mash the "square" or "X" button repeatedly.
I know, I know. Not only is that a cheap way to play, but you may get in foul trouble. The flip side is that with PG's steal ability he shoudl be able to get a bunch of those nice tip backs that will lead directly to dunks.
Step 3: You say the offense will come? No, let the ball come to the offense.
Yeah, go ahead and give the Blue and Gold a few minutes to see if their offense is working that night. If it's not, and it probably isn't, switch to Pacer super-mega-offense 2.0. Like previous renditions of our offense this year, it will require at least one of Paul George or Gerald Green to be in the game. And, like our current smashmouth offense, this is more of a philosophy than an actual offense.
Like all offensive philosophies should, it starts on defense. Instead of the typical 5 on 5 defense, you stick 3 frontcourt players around the hoop, diving in and out of the paint to avoid 3 second violations. Allow them to shoot anything outside of 15 feet unhindered, and just grab the rebound. At this point, you have 1 of 2 options. Option number one is to make the full court pass down to Green or George who has been patiently waiting for the ball right next to the opposing basket. They will get the ball and dunk it, or if the pass is perfect it'll be a highlight alley-oop.
Option 2 is to pass the ball to either Lance, Augustin, or Hill who should be standing just beyond half court. This option is to improve accuracy for the ultimate scoring pass. I understand this pass will not always be there. If we find both of these options are covered, just run down the court and shoot the ball the first chance you appear to be looking to get almost open. Preferably this would happen within 10 seconds. As soon as the ball leaves the hands of the shooter, our 3 frontcourt defenders need to haul *** back to defense. We need to stop the transition offense.
Step 4: Take vitamins.
I heard they're supposed to be good for you or something.

Twelvetrees departed the field just nine minutes in after Sione Kalamafoni and Charlie Sharples had got the Cherry & Whites off to an electric start.
Then replacement Shane Monahan and Exiles flyer Marland Yarde exchanged a hat-trick of tries in an increasingly wild game.
In the second half Freddie Burns collected three penalties as Gloucester edged the victory, but Davies refused to get carried away with the result after a disappointing Aviva Premiership season.
And Davies said Twelvetrees' injury situation will become clearer in the next two days, with an England tour to New Zealand in June possibly hanging in the balance.
"It's an ankle problem but with all of these things it's very difficult to give a formal assessment," said Davies.
"We will monitor the situation over the next 48-hours and in that period we will have a scan to determine the amount of damage.
"It's not great for him but until we have a clearer picture we can't say how serious it is.
"We all know how committed Billy is as a player and for him to come off , especially in this game with a lot of emotion going on, says a lot but we will have to wait and see.
"(The win) gives us a little bit of confidence and belief going into the last game of the season against Worcester, but there's a lot of work to do heading into next season as well.
"(Yarde) is an excellent rugby player, if you give him time, space, and opportunity he's going to hurt you.
"That's what we did, a lot of their tries came from we had the ball and turnover. The inaccuracy in that area still frustrates. We've just got to be smarter than that.
"If there's any good to come out of this season is that it's identified a lot of issues, not only the players' current ability, but even deeper than that.
"There's a lot we can put right in the next pre-season. We will be a different team next year."
Apart from briefly flirting with the lead in the second half, Irish were always trailing after Kalamafoni and Sharples' one-two sucker punch early on.
And following a similar start at Northampton Saints last week, director of rugby Brian Smith admits his troops need to stop shooting themselves in the foot.
"When you give someone such a big lead and chew up so much energy to get back and poke your nose in front, the opposition will have that bit of emotional energy to throw a last couple of punches, which knocked us out," he said.
"We have to learn lessons because that is two games now where we have given our opponents a flier.
"The chat in the changing-rooms at half-time was very positive, but we do need to work out what it is that is wrong because straight after half-time we got hit by a sucker punch.
"That hurt us and we had to scramble again."

A porcelain vessel named Crown Jewel by North Platte artist Wava Best has been selected for the 45th annual National All Media Show at the Octagon Center for the Arts in Ames, Iowa.
In a May 20 article for the Nebraska Humanities Cultural Endowment, Best said creating, sharing and promoting art is her livelihood.
Her comments below are reprinted with permission.
Wavas story
It started when I was about 4 years old: playing in a rain-soaked driveway, sitting in the mud, making little mud dishes.
Little did I know that many years later I would become a painter, potter and songwriter.
In high school my love for all of the arts never ceased as I was in choir, band, orchestra and played the French horn. Although I didnt start painting until after I was married and had two small children, the desire was always there. I have taken several college courses and many art workshops, but am basically self-taught.
After enrolling in a college ceramics class, I was hooked. I eventually purchased my own wheel and kiln and started producing wares for sale. Developing my own designs and glazes was always challenging but very rewarding. I also enjoy teaching art, especially to children. They are so creative and they get a great deal of satisfaction and self-esteem from their work.
I have received many awards on the local, state and national level. I also recently illustrated a youth-level novel authored by Barbara Eymann Mohrman, The Dust Covered Days of Dorie Archer. It takes you back in time to the dust bowl days during the 1930s and shares family stories. I believe that any of the art disciplines can enrich everyones lives and can give a since of self satisfaction and calm to every day living.
Wava Best is a member of IMPACT, a group of professional Nebraskan artists who exhibit art work on a regional and national level.
She was named Woman of Achievement in the Cultural Arts for her work as co-chair of the Community Unity Tile project, working with the community of North Platte to design and glaze tiles for five towers that are throughout the city.

The humane society offers to help educate owners on the proper daily care and maintenance; vetting and hoof care as well as nutrition and emergencies. The society also rescues severely neglected horses and provides rehabilitation services and placement through adoption.
This is not an easy task; many volunteers are needed in order to provide this care and support. There are many people who are not aware of hooved animals that are abused and neglected. SHARE would like to inform people about this
1. You must live in Illinois or close neighboring state.
2. Must own the property where the horse will be kept.
3. Must provide a letter of recommendation from your veterinarian and one from your farrier if you are now a horse owner. If you do not have a farrier, a letter from another person will suffice.
4. You must visit the horse to see if you are a match with the particular horse you wish to adopt.
5. We will visit your facility to see the facility and your animals.
6. If you continue with the adoption, you will be required to pay an adoption fee which is set by the board of directors for each animal. We will continue to inspect the animal for two years.
7. If at any time the animal is not being properly cared for SHARE has the right to seize the animal.
8. You are NEVER allowed to sell the animal to slaughter. We ALWAYS have first right of refusal if you decide not to keep the animal.
9. You must keep the animal for at least two years or it reverts to SHARE.
Adoption Fees:
Adoption Fees vary from animal to animal depending on the skill sets of each individual horse, starting at about $450.00 dollars. Each individual animal will have the adoption fee posted on it's profile, or view our website!
Thank You!

Out of options, but Taylor not out of hope
PHOENIX -- Oakland's once-hyped outfield prospect is suddenly 28 years old with only 59 days of Major League service time on his side.
This isn't quite how Michael Taylor envisioned his career path, yet here he is again, back for his fifth big league camp. Taylor's never made an Opening Day roster, and the chances of it happening this year remain slim, even though he is out of options. Sam Fuld is ahead of him on the depth chart, and even Fuld might not make the team if the A's choose to stick with only four outfielders.
Taylor knows this, but is motivated as ever to make a mark on an organization that gave up former first-round Draft pick Brett Wallace for him. Both were considered some of the game's best hitting prospects at the time of their 2009 trade but neither has panned out.
Taylor isn't done writing his story, though.
"You know what? Mike I think has got a different outlook this year," said manager Bob Melvin. "He's kind of been a little bit back of the pack for us. I mean, he's gotten some opportunities but never the type of opportunity that would potentially allow him to make a team. I know it doesn't look like he's at the forefront, but he is out of options and we do value him.
"You look at the numbers he puts up in Triple-A, and it would suggest that he can contribute here. So he's going to get quite a few at-bats this spring, as he is now, and my feeling is we're going to see a different guy, I really do."
Hours after Melvin said this, Taylor had himself a three-hit day.
"I have to give Bob a lot of credit," said Taylor, a .292 career hitter in the Minors but just 10-for-74 in the big leagues. "He actually called me in today and talked to me about just playing. He was right. I can't really worry about my situation or what's going on, or thinking about a thousand different situations that could come up. I just have to play and enjoy it, and he kind of gave me a vote of confidence and it relaxed me a bit. I kind of just felt free to play, and that's when I'm at my best."
"He has the ability to do that every day," said Melvin. "Hopefully this is a springboard for him, getting three good at-bats like that. This should give him some confidence."
Taylor has been tinkering with his swing since the offseason, mostly trying to use his legs more, and on Tuesday he featured a swing he said resembled one "somewhere in between some of the things I've worked on this offseason and how I've always been."
"Today is probably as good as it has felt all spring," he continued. "Yesterday, I hit about 250 balls by myself at the end of the day and this morning got in there with Chili Davis in the cages.
"Today I was able to refocus on what's important. I'm fortunate enough to still have a job and that I can play baseball. This is my eighth year in pro ball. I'm just going to go out and enjoy these days and not think about all the external factors around the game."

I understand what "middle voice"/reflective voice is. Given in Pali that attanopada is rarely used outside of poetry, your analysis is interesting, but so far it is not convincing. A.K. Warder (Introduction to Pali, page 314-5): "They are very rare in prose, a little less rare in verse."Dmytro wrote:tiltbillings wrote:All right, buddho; however, "buddha" -- all by itself -- does not mean "one who awoke on his own".
It's hard to convey the sense of this middle voice form in English - I formulated it as I could. In Russian it's much easier to understand.

BAYTOWN, Texas - A Baytown family is in tears and their daughter has a broken heart.
Courtney LeBlanc was planning to go to the homecoming dance at Baytown Lee High School on Saturday.
For the senior special needs student, this would be her first and last chance to go to the dance and her parents wanted her to have a date.
Courtney's parents arranged for the son of a family friend to take her. His name is Derek, a special needs graduate of Lee High, and a close friend of Courtney's from Special Olympics. He asked her on Monday after volleyball practice -- complete with a rose.
But Wednesday, the school informed the family Derek couldn't attend because he's 27 years old, which is past the age limit of 21.
Courtney and her family were devastated to hear the news.
"They just don't get to have the opportunities most children get to have," said Courtney's stepfather, Chris McClain. "They don't get the opportunity to pick and choose their dates like most children get to have. This is something special to her. I want her to have that."
The McClains say if the school does not make an exception, Courtney will still have a homecoming. They are planning a dance, complete with a DJ, plus a king and queen right at her home.
"If they can't allow her to have her date being Derek then there's no way that she's going to attend homecoming at all," said Courtney's mother, Crystal McClain. "She won't go. She'll stay here and we'll do our homecoming here for them."
A statement was issued Wednesday by Goose Creek CISD:
"According to Goose Creek CISD practice, we do not permit non-students over 21 to be students' dates to school activities. However, given this unique circumstance, we are revisiting the parent request. Hopefully, we can work with the parents to find a mutually agreeable way to allow the student to attend the Homecoming Dance with the date of her choice."

I just typed that, and I was serious.
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
@AlexKennedyNBA: Wow. RT @ESPNStatsInfo Anderson Varejao is 1st player with at least 9 pts, 23 rebs and 9 asts in an opener since Wilt Chamberlain in 1967.
Mike Brown.
"We let eddy curry dominate the paint"
never thought i would ever hear that
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
He also said that the Lakers are "not running the correct routes"
The Lakers' problem might be right there: Mike Brown thinks that this is football and that Steve Nash is the punter.
"Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better." - Albert Camus
"Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." - Voltaire
"Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others." - William Greider
Lakers pieces make too much sense together for them to look this bad. Brown needs to figure this out ASAP or prepare to be punted.
He also needs to figure out how to hide Nash on D. Holy crap he is bad.
Agreed i didnt think nash's defence was that bad but holy hell its pretty brutal
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
Nash is making DC look like Isaiah with how much space he is giving him right now.
Also, gotta give credit to Sir Charles, he pretty much called every single one of the issues the Lakers are having on the pregame show. He is on record saying he hates the Princeton offense for the Lakers.
Nash with 3 assists and Howard with 6 boards...those are pretty big alarms IMO.
The Lakers just need to be coached by Rick Carlisle instead and they'll be fine.
Kinda starting to like this Mavs squad...
DC is making passes that he never made here WTF?
They are not that bad, they are even missing Dirk and Kaman, they should be better.
The pass to Bright, the pick and roll plays with Brand.
Steve Nash didn't make it hard for him.
Good game for DC... Glad to see him doing well.
I think this is about what you can expect from DC this year on the Mavs 15-18 PPG, 4-5 APG, and still really bad defense when he's playing someone other than Derek Fisher dressed up as Steve Nash for Halloween.
@FalseHoop: Princeton called. They want their offense back.
I was watching the Lakers game last night thinking, soooo you got Steve Nash and take the ball out of his hands. What did you get him for? Defense?
I'm lost.
I was never one who thought Nash would be a great fit with the Kobe Lakers.
But the real point I want to make is this - it is one game, let's not make any rash judgments
Remember the Heats first game with the "Big 3"? They lost their first game of the season against Boston and only scored 80 points. Our own Pacers beat them not long after.
It's a long season and a bunch of guys who have never played with each other. No sense even talking about it now really.

Did you notice the other 4-5 players I mentioned?
But yes, please keep ranting about Bob's injuries while ignoring the other examples, to show us that the Colts have only had one player to build around.
You're really helping your case.
And here's the second time you've compared the Colts to the Packers. Atleast this time you've recognized that it's not an insult to be called GB.
Your only as good as your starting material and there is only a couple of people who control the talent level of this team. Increase the talent level overall and balance the team to be good in all phases of the game and we win more superbowl rings. Fact is we have stunk in 2 phases of the game and special teams for too long to think that this team wasn't grossly reliant on the passing game and Manning to win.
Polain is at the center of that problem not Manning or the players. You can't ask average players to be something there not which is what I believe Polain and the coaching staff has. You can't ask undersized DE's to consistently stop the run or LB's who are undersized to consistently shed blocks from offensive guards.
The cover two doesn't ask for undersized DE's or small LB's or one mediocre Nose Tackle. A better overall defense is a better overall team. A good running game means a better overall team. The FO has taken way to long to address these issues IMO.
True or False, the Colts have had mutiple years with enough talent to win a SB?
My turn: True or false: The Patriots have had multiple years besides their SB years where they have had enough talent to win a SB?
That's an easy statement to make, but the truth is, multiple teams every year have enough talent to win the SB. But only one team wins it each year. It's an incredibly difficult thing to accomplish. I'm extremely happy that we won one Super Bowl in this era. Some football fans wait their entire lives to see their team win it just once. I have seen my team win a Super Bowl, and I will never forget that. Would I have liked to see more? Sure, who wouldn't. Do I see the Manning era as a disappointment if he only wins one Super Bowl? Absolutely, positively not. To me (and this is just an opinion), the people complaining about only winning one Super Bowl are getting a tiny bit greedy.
I'm pointing out the fact all the *****ing and moaning about how the Colts don't have enough talent is a bold faced lie.
Whether or not you disagree with the Cover 2 approach, you have to acknowledge that the Colts have had the pieces to win multiple SB in place.
The Colts failure, or atleast a large portion (maybe not 50%), falls on the shoulders of the players.
It's not talent in the top 40 or so players on the roster that the Colts have been lacking, in my opinion, over the past few years. It's the depth and versatility of their bench, players 41-53 and actually beyond that, and further into the practice squad and rolodex guys. That's why injuries seem to be so devastating to the Colts (I'm not talking about the Manning injury here, obviously losing a starting QB is a major issue). The defensive scheme has never been one I have liked, and the coach doesn't seem to coach as far as I have noticed.
Some of the depth issues are due to draft misses, for sure. If you whiff on some high draft picks and score on some low picks, those low guys who you likely saw as backups are starters, and their backups are waiver wire pickups. You can win with waiver wire pickups with coaching astute enough to capitalize on any unique abilities they may have (like say a Danny Woodhead, for example), but it requires... COACHING, again.
I would have to disagree with whats bolded above. The Colts no doubt have the talent in some of the critical positions but in the top 40 they are sorely lacking.
Outside of: QB, DE's, TE, and C, I don't think we have great talent. I would toss Wayne in the mix but I think he's better suited as a number 2 WR in which case he is one heck of a number 2.
Outside of those postions which total 6 players I think the Colts are average and most importantly one dimensional. Don't get me wrong I would take our top 6 against everybody elses but from 7-40 I wouldn't for sure.
Are injuries killing the Colts? I don't think so. We've replaced average talent with average talent in most cases but the big exception this year is that we lack the guy who covers up the talent drop in Manning.
IF Chris Polain did the last draft then I feel pretty comfortable with the 2012 draft. I don't however trust the coaching or much else. The fact is the colts had time to prepare for the exits of Mudd, Tom Moore, and Dungy and they seem to have promoted from with in which seems to have been a mistake. The 2012 draft will surely be one of the most important drafts in Colts recent history but hopefully the coach is upgraded as well.
Since 2005 they've had 14 different players go to the Pro Bowl, at 10 different positions.
If you start at 2006, it drops to 13 different players at 10 different positions.
There are a number of guys who go who are just good to average players like Garrad in 09. This happens every year. In 2010 32 players who were orginally selected to play in the probowl but didn't for some reason or another.
So sorry if I can't look at pro bowl appearances as way to validate that the COlts have a lot talent. My eyes tell me that the Colts have 6 guys that are real pro bowl level talent and everyone else is either average or below average talent.

Funny I don't recall dissing GB other than I'm not a fan of the team. And I did refer to the other players but they don't hold nearly as much importance as Peyton and they never will of course you'll conveniently ignore that so who's in denial here.
They played not to lose in the second half and well that's exactly what happened.
I'm annoyed that in the end Manning will always be blamed for why this team underachieved and management and coaching don't get blamed at least by the national media.
Please I don't care who you are if you choose to quit you have no say in who replaces you unless you own the team.
I mean if Tom Landry and Chuck Noll who have both won more Super Bowls and will be remembered far more fondly than Tony Dungy in the long run couldn't pick their replacement neither should he.

So we've went from BBall Fan saying that the Colts have only built around one player (manning) to you saying they've only had 6.
Clearly, you're both wrong. If you want to continue the conversation using your perception, instead of the reality of the situation, there isn't much else to do.
But sorry for bringing easily found facts into the conversatoin. From here on out we can argue over who's memory is best.
You don't even know what I said. You only referred to Bob, not Peyton.
Yes, you are in denial. You've said Peyton has been the only good Colt, how many times now?
13 other Pro Bowl players during Peyton's tenure, and he's the only good one. Amazing.
Man its a tough year to be a Colts/Pacers fan. That being said I could see us maybe beating Cincinnati tomorrow.
I dropped Garcon in my fantasy league and my team already sucks. ahgggg
