Dear Readers:
Thank you for your comments regarding my post on Daniel Murphy. One of the great things about this country is the exchange of ideas is encouraged and nobody should be attacked for their beliefs. For the most part I thought this was achieved.
For those of you new to this blog, my intent is to create an atmosphere of people watching a game together and sharing their opinions and views. It certainly would be boring if all the opinions are the same.
I don't care if you don't agree with me, but don't be abusive and resort to name calling. For the most part that was achieved and I thank you.
I am hopeful you'll continue to visit this blog and post your comments frequently.
Thank you again and I hope you all enjoy the season.
Best, JD
Well, that lasted a long time. On the day after the Mets announced Daniel Murphy will keep his religious comments to himself, he is scheduled to appear on ESPN's Outside the Lines along with Billy Bean today at 3 p.m.
Unfortunately, things developed as I anticipated for Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy after his response to a reporter's question of potentially having a gay teammate.
The topic arose when GM Sandy Alderson invited former major leaguer Billy Bean to address the Mets on inclusion. Bean admitted after his career he was gay.
As a reporter, I welcome it when a player gives an honest, well reasoned answer to a question, which is what Murphy did when asked about Bean.
What, Alderson didn't think his players wouldn't be asked?
"I disagree with his lifestyle,'' Murphy told reporters. "I do disagree with the fact that Billy is a homosexual. That doesn't mean I can't still invest in him and get to know him. I don't think the fact that someone is a homosexual should completely shut the door on investing in them in a relational aspect.
"Getting to know him. That, I would say, you can still accept them, but I do disagree with the lifestyle, 100 percent.
"Maybe, as a Christian … we haven't been as articulate enough in describing what our actual stance is on homosexuality. We love the people. We disagree [with] the lifestyle. That's the way I would describe it for me.''
What is so wrong about that answer? It was the best possible response. Murphy expressed his beliefs, which is his right as much as it was Bean's right to state his. Most importantly, Murphy said he would accept a gay teammate simply because he was a teammate.
Isn't that what acceptance is all about?
This was part of a major league directive. What is the intent? Is it beneficial to introduce a potentially divisive issue into the clubhouse?
A baseball team is comprised of players, but they are also human beings. Each having their own beliefs, opinions and follow their own moral compass.
Bean said what he believed and Murphy did the same, which is the ultimate display of free-flowing ideas.
However, Murphy's thoughts have been criticized, which unfortunately is what one expects in this era of political correctness.
ON DECK: Zack Wheeler talks smack … sort of.
Matt Harvey threw two 20-pitch sessions to hitters without pain Friday and is on track to start, March 6, against Detroit.
Harvey threw to David Wright, Michael Cuddyer, Curtis Granderson and Daniel Murphy, who only tracked pitches and did not swing.
Harvey couldn't be happier.
"It was awesome,'' Harvey told reporters in Port St. Lucie. "You step in the box and you have David in there, it's a good feeling to have that and be back. I couldn't feel better. It was a good day.
"The biggest thing today is getting used to having somebody in there and getting that feel of somebody standing in the box. Obviously them not swinging, you don't quite get all the feel of what you need to work on or exactly what is working at the time and what isn't.''
Wright liked what he saw: "The biggest thing was it looked like the ball was coming out pretty free and easy. You could see the smile on his face from him being happy to be back out there. As a teammate and a friend, I was happy he was able to get back out there.''
COLON COULD GET OPENING DAY START: ESPN reported Bartolo Colon could get the Opening Day start, which would be the seventh of his career.
He would make the most sense because he's used to the buzz and was the Mets' most dependable starter last season, winning 15 games and working over 200 innings.
EXTRA INNINGS: Manager Terry Collins said Wright, Murphy, Cuddyer and Granderson would sit out the first few exhibition games.

Hanson's asking for it, but they're not giving it to him.
Game 70 Spillover Thread
Hanson's asking for it, but they're not giving it to him.
by Mike Axisa
Hanson's asking for it, but they're not giving it to him.
If we only scored 1/4th of the runners on base!!! It's aggravating.
Yes it is.
You know what it's not? Indicative of any type of failure of strategy or ability.
It's just aggravating. It doesn't mean there's something wrong with our team. Shit happens.
Nobody, even the Yankees, will never win with A-Rod. He is too into himself to be a part of a winner and the rest of the team can't carry him.
hes gonna be around a while, get used to it bud
The offense's lack of ability to drive runners in is mind boggling.
Why is this team so damn piss-poor with R.I.S.P. day after day?????????
The yanks really should smacking Hanson around by now.
All Hanson really wants is a Wang with hard stuff, balls on the ground. But he hasn't gotten that yet.
The Yanks' goal is to leave 20 runners on base tonight, right?
Also, it's the NL, where every play should be a sacrifice squeeze. After you've successfully double-switched. But AL managers are stupid and wouldn't know anything about that.
Easy with the caps lock
Ban? all caps…Ban?
Your satire is impeccable. Bonus points for the all-caps and the multiple exclamation points.
who woke you up…Cash, Girardi, and A-rod aren't gone yet
dang people chill out…you all sound like you should be on yankee suicide watch…
yanks are currently 4th in the AL in BA and 2nd in the AL in runs scored
their pitching staff is currently 11th in the AL with 1 4.65 era…
however over the last 30 days the team is 5th in the AL with a 3.77 era…
bruney is back which is a tremendous help in the 8th inning and marte is on his way back
don't forget we do currently lead the wildcard and have the 2nd best record in the AL
you people are turning into the idiots that run around on the yankees forum…heck half you probably are those idiots…you see the game and you see the problems, but good baseball players fail 7 times out of 10…
o yea and hanson's at 73 pitches so that'll probably mean 4 innings from a sub par braves bullpen…
but it would be appreciative if the Yankees drove in half the base runners they left on base.
HALF…LOL if they did that they would have the greatest offense of all time by far and away about a .010 increase in their BA would be all i would be asking for that would be a lot more runs
Don't forget that CMW sucks and if Hughes was in this position, the game would probably be scoreless.
And that if ARod wasn't in the lineup, we'd have 7 runs already, because he's the problem with the offense.
Right because every non-Wang pitcher has a 0.00 ERA.
And I bet you're one of those people who thought Hughes was a bust in 2008 and was pissed we didn't get teh Johan.
He wasn't being serious.
Much love for Kelly Johnson's walk up music.
For Mike Axisa and tommyjohn
Ok, I understand the team part, but each time there is a man on base and that runner is not advanced via hit(walks don't count) each it counts as a LOB on the personal level.
What is the rule regarding left on base? How can a team have a total LOB greater than the number of baserunners they had during the game? For example in tonight's opening day game between the A's and Yanks, Oakland only had 8 hits and 0 walks, but still had a total of 14 LOB? How is this possible?
Here's how it works…
Joe comes up with one out and two people on. He strikes out, leaving two people on base. Then Bill comes up with the same two people on base. He hits a weak fly ball ending the inning – again leaving two guys on base.
So, the players just left four people on base in an inning, even though only two people got on!
Typically, for the team stat, they only count the people on base at the end of the inning, but for individuals, they count everyone. Since this isn't an official stat, different people add it in different ways.
Hope this helps!
For Mike Axisa and tommyjohn
My name is not tommyjohn or tommy.
more like c-o-m-m-i-e
The problem with doing it individually is you can only score as many runs as runner you put on base. So if Bill K's with two runners on then Joe K'ed with to runners on, that's 4 LOB individually, but in reality it's only two runs sitting their on the bases. they're being docked for runs that don't exist.
There's a difference between individual LOB and team LOB.
Team LOB is now 8. At the time of the convo, it was 5.

Why bunt Wang there? Why not have Gardner steal and then give Wang a chance to put the ball in play.

You cannot be serious.
Why the hell would he not be serious?? I don't get that at all, can you tell me why that wouldn't have been a good idea? What tsjc said here makes no sense at all
1. Gardner can get thrown out. You advance 0 runners, and you still have Wang at the plate, 2 outs.
2. Gardner can successfully steal, and Chien-Ming Wang can ground out, but Melky can get thrown out at the plate. He's not exactly swift.
Unlikely that gardner would get thrown out the way he runs, and your second point is just dumb. The same thing could happen on any groundout with a runner on third & less than 2 outs. You can't expect melky to get thrown out at the plate and use that as a reason to not have gardner steal there.
You cannot be serious in that you cannot expect Wang to hit a groundball.
He's an AL pitcher. A struggling AL pitcher. He's up there to either bunt or strike out.
He's not going to swing away. He's not going to try to hit a grounder.
Can you kindly tell me what Wang did in his first at bat???????
You know what, I'll tell you. HE GROUNDED OUT! HE SWUNG THE BAT AND HE HIT A GROUNDER?
A grounder that WOULDN'T HAVE SCORED THE RUN FROM THIRD BASE, BECAUSE IT WAS SO WEAK THE FIELDER WOULD HAVE GONE HOME WITH THE PITCH.
Wang swinging has a tiny, tiny chance of scoring a run and a large chance of him ending up on first base, which would mean runners on first and third, the exact same situation he was bunting in, except with an extra out and Gardner at first replaced with Wang at first.
It's risk aversion. No manager would have eschewed the bunt there, none of them. Because the overwhelming preponderance of outcomes are moot or bad. Better to just move the runner over and get your pitcher back in the safety of the dugout.
You think you're onto some profound error in Girardi's reasoning, but you're not. You're onto nothing.
I am onto something, cause gardner stealing and wang swinging would have given us a better chance at scoring.
He swung weakly. Because there was no benefit to him bunting.
In a situation where there is a benefit to him bunting, no matter how small, he's going to bunt, because his manager rightly wants to get him out of the batters box as soon as possible.
Seriously, you're asking for the moon if you want a major league manager to ask CMW to try intentionally to hit the ball hard enough to drive in a run, and it's moot there, because if he was swinging away, Cox would draw the infield in and come home with the pitch. And then we'd have Wang on the bases at first, which we don't want.
It's moot.
the RISP dives again.
"bats are afraid"
Ugh this Wang experiment needs to stop.
I didn't realize it was an experiment
Dont "Unbelievable" me
I understand why its important to try and give Wang a chance to come back but we have a perfectly capable starter in Hughes that can fill in.
Not to diss my boy Phil, but, he's not exactly pitching to a 3 era. People act like he's a shut down starter. He's young, he'll have his ups and downs.
Wang right>>>>>>>>>Anything we've seen from Hughes.
Hughes will start soon enough.
Fixing Wang is one of the single most important things right now. More important than having Hughes in the rotation, frankly.
Lol why cause you say so?
Because Joba's impending innings cap means that we'll probably need Wang to start games in the playoffs.
Long term planning, my friend.
Does anyone (Girardi, Hitting Coach, other teammates) tell these guys NOT TO SWING at the FIRST PITCH? I feel there's a lack of communication going on… do these players look at the 3rd base coach for signals at the plate like in little league games?
They say it all the time. "Hey Swish, Don't swing at a pitch you think you can hit."
Why would they do that?
There is nothing implicitly wrong with swinging at the first pitch, provided it's a good pitch to hit. Problem is, you can't ex post facto judge whether the pitch was good to hit or not based on the outcome, which is what people usually do, because a successful outcome in baseball is almost *always* the less-frequently occurring outcome.
Gotta love Jeff Francoeur. At least Hanson doesn't appear to be long for this game — if they have good at bats, he might not finished the 5th. He's almost certainly not getting through the 6th unless the Yankees give it to him.
Oddly enough we are hitting .264 with RISP on the year.
And that number has to have taken a dive over the last two weeks.
That 15-0 Mets game probably helped out a lot.
let's go YANKEES!
You're back on the 40 man.
Alot of those pitches were up in that inning but seemed to have better movement.
wang looks great. Even though the defense seems to collapse when he pitches, he is showing poise and confidence on the mound, just keeping the ball down. He has thrown a zillion strikes, so it will help him in the long run. It looks like he's on his way to getting back.
I agree. Some of the hits he surrendered was just good hitting by the Braves. The capatalized on their opportunities and the Yankees have not.
I think Wang looks a lot better than his last start.
I do as well.
Meh not good enough
Nothing apparently is ever good enough.
If the Yankees scored a fourth of the runners they put on base, they'd be winning. That's not hard to ask with our lineup. Everyone would say Wang had a decent start if the offense managed to score runs.
No they wouldn't/shouldn't because hes never made past the 5th inning.
Wang gave up runs11111!!!!1 He's a terrible pitcher. He should be DFA'd.
time to score some runs
It's been a full season and a half of not hitting wth RISP
Overall scoring stats are a bit misleading because the Yankees are prone to pile on from time to time (Santana game)
This may be a slump, but it's not far off from what this team is
These guys hit like players on a beer league softball game
Swinging for the fences no matter what the situation
When they are not hitting home runs, they rarely win
The only way they "snap out of it" is when they start hitting home runs
Hey, chief, lots of teams don't win when they don't hit homers.
yanks are 7th in the majors in runs scored with risp and 15th in the majors for batting avg with risp
not great not bad…but average…obviously there's some loopholes in the stats as it doesn't account for situational hitting
I have a bad feeling about this inning with Arod, Cano and Posada up…
I predict we will have the lead in this game!!!!!!!!
Michael Kay just took a verbal shit on the Colorado school system.
haha it was quite funny
WTF did Arod just swing at.
That first swing from Alex made me die a little inside.
Agreed. Eesh.
That swing brought it back. He put a good swing on a pitch on the outer half and drove it nice. Pretty good range by Franco there.
I'm really not enjoying watching Hanson work. The breaking balls are pretty nasty, but I don't like how he short-arms the ball in his delivery. Looks ugly.
I hope this is as bad as it gets for A-Rod.
I think it is. He can only go up from here.
How in fuck was that strike one to Alex?????
strike 2 i mean…We didn't get that call
Honestly, I think Wang has pitched a good game so far. Sometimes you gotta tip your cap to the opposing hitter. McCann and Anderson hit two good pitches. I haven't seen Wang miss badly, as he had in some previous starts. His pitch count is down, his pitches are down, the slider looks better than I've seen in awhile, and he's even mixed in a change in there. The velocity looks good. It's not an easy lineup for Wang either – those lefties from 3-6 make it tough.
I'm not trying to sugarcoating it. Wang, as calm as he is, still seems to lose a bit of focus/confidence when a runner gets on. He still needs to improve that slider, because when his sinker is only good, and not great, he'll struggle without that 2nd pitch.
I think he's on his way back … but let's see how the rest of the game goes. I think, if the Yankee bats can get going, that Wang may be able to stick through 6 or 7, which would be a nice thing for the Yankees staff.
McCann and Anderson hit two good pitches.
Yep, McCann especially.
I don't know about focus and confidence, but even Good Wang is markedly worse with runners on. I think you can trace it to the fact that he has a very deceptive windup that isn't as effective from the stretch, since he can't do the long pause.
Just wanted to say I don't disagree with anything there on the delivery issues overall. I agree that he is so used to his normal windup that when he is out of the stretch, things are off. For me, that's partly a focus issue, but it's arguable.
Which team is the worst statistically with RISP in all of MLB?
No idea. But the Rays were last year and they went to the WS.
Not the Yankees.
Diamondbacks, Mariners & Cubs are the worst. All under bat under .230
Yanks are about dead on average at .264
I'm pretty sure google's a little better than average, come on.
this is worst a-rod has ever looked, he is an automatic out
Uhh ever recall that slump he had in 2006? He still managed to pull through and put up decent numbers in the end.
Remember when Jeter went 0 for April? I'm pretty sure he didn't get booed off the plate every time he made an out then, though.
I'm just watching the minors as of right now.
Chance are, that's a homer in the Bronx.
Hanson's first quality start is gonna come off us. Wonderful.
I doubt he makes it through 6.
same here
lol uh, one more inning?
OKAY, i just bought mlb tv, the monthly one, but its telling me some crap about blackout restrictions is there anyway to get around this? because this would defeat the entire purpose of me spending money on this; to watch yankees games. can anyone help
If you live within the viewing area, you aren't going to be able to watch the game. I don't think there's any way around it, unless you get it from some other site.
you cannot watch yankees games if you live in the local areas they are playing on tv.
so you cannot watch them if you live in NY, some of NJ, and in the ATL(tonight at least)
You can go through proxy servers, but it is very inconsistent. Probably out of luck.
This dude is getting strike calls in the fricken batters box.
Hanson owns Posada.
Tommy Hanson's curveball has mind control over Jorge.
Well, the bright side is that they only left 1 runner on base that inning.
Jorge=Ugly today
This team is just awful right now offensively. Posada looks like he is channeling ARod.
Is it possible to strike out on the same pitch 3 consecutive times? Does he not remember he struck out on a curveball the last two times up… and that he's proooooobably going to throw you one there.
tough day for jorge
7 straight games against sub .500 teams and were gonna be 2-5, embarrising
My day is complete. Bread, Water, and Jesus with an RBI single.
62 pitches in 5. Vintage Wang!
All thanks to J.J. 'Putz' Wang in the cradle.
Uh, strike that from the record.
How many losses before we stop sending Wang out? 10?
i don't care how "good" he looked tonight, he gave up 3 runs and counting in not even 5 innings yet. Hughes starting gives us a much better chance at winning
And again if the offense pulled through people would STFU about Wang already.
Apparently when it comes to CMW people would rather have a sucky one to a good one. That is truly mind boggling.
Really? 5 innings and 3 runs from Wang and you are saying Hughes gives a better chance to win? I mean, Hughes has only gone more than 5 twice this year.
Look, I like Hughes, but he's still inconsistent. It's likely to be that way for the whole year. The Yankees need to see if Wang can gain his form because they need to find a guy to consistently eat innings.
Hughes starting gives us a much better chance at winning
He does.
Fixing Wang gives us a better chance of winning in October, though.
REGARDLESS of how this game plays out, I bet all the so called Yankees "fans" are going to complain about CMW's performance tonight.
See above.
Because it's not as if that fat ole zero in the Yankees score column is making any difference.
are you asian?
Father is half-German/Chinese.
Mother is Chinese/Japanese.
Are you hot? Do you throw pitches?
I am what everyone calls "double jointed", my parents never allowed me to contend in school sports (sucks).
Started to play with a few college buddies a few years back and I've been pitching on my friend's rec-team.
And yes I can pitch, albeit I'm not that good… but it gets by against these rec-leaguers. Although I'm off the team this current summer due to a series of injuries to my right leg/ankle.
and yes I am currently sweating.
plenty already have
God this team FUCKING SUCKS. It's impossible to deny at this point. And now all the crazy "optimists" tell me that i'm not a real yankee fan, but trust me, I am. That's why its so hard to watch.
I wonder how it was like for you in the early '90s.
i didn't watch much baseball in the early 90s so it wasn't that bad
Then you really haven't seen "OMFG THEY SUCK" when you see how bad they were. Unless of course they get 95 losses this season. And really the Yankees are always better after the All star break so we're not out.
i know their better after the AS break, but the problem is we have been losing to some bad, bad teams and have had lots of scoring opportunities and capitalized on very few. We'll be down 5 games if we lose tonight, and i'm sure the schedule will get tougher soon
5 gamers is a lot but last year they were on an 8 game winning streak after the ASB and with a rotation like that we should be red hot this year. There will be plenty of opportunities against the Red Sox and maybe we can get vengeance and sweep all of our remaining games with them.
We're still the 5th best team in all of baseball.
yea, only problem is we're in the fucking AL East
While leading the wild card.
If the season ended today, we make the playoffs.
Uhh. Nah, they really don't.
If by "suck" you mean one of the best in all MLB record-wise, you are correct.
Become a Mariners fan… Then you'll know what "suck" is. Right now you're just a child acting out.
Cubans are good at baseball.
that play by cano was extremely un-dominican
Good job by Wanger so far. No offense to speak of.
Wow, I thought that was gone.
Ugh, Escobar with that bloop hit. Wang's gotta buckle down. If he gets through this inning unscathed, that's gonna be a very good sign.
Chipper with a towering … phew, it got caught.
Seriously, didn't that look/sound like a homer off the bat?
I've been coming to this blog for a couple of years now but I can't take the game threads anymore. Luckily these people that have nothing to add except how much everything/everyone sucks don't come around in non-game threads.
True that.
hey there are sane people too
I know but the amount of crap is unbelieveable.
Lately it has been brutal.
I've been stayin' away also, LiveFromNY. Feel the same way, not to mention when I'm not on them I don't miss so much of the game!
Haha, but i do enjoy these threads when I'm on them. All the snarky remarks and info shared. But ya, the trolls, irrational fans, and Matt ACTY correcting my grammar is brutal.
But all the shenanigans and tomfoolery make for a plus.
Don't worry, the team is gonna go 162-0 with a staff ERA of 0.76, scoring 9 runs a game one of these years, and the game threads will be immaculate.
0.76? That's horrible. If we'd have moved Joba to the bullpen like I said, that ERA could have been 0.51.
Girardi's a moron.
Hey, um, runs please?
Team looks lost at the plate
Good job with the pitch call … they finally switched up and went inside on McCann.
I wish I could write this in small print. the yankees are currently in the playoffs ssssshhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell anybody.
lol wat?
We suck…DFA everyone!
That kid sucks!
Gettin' blown away.
Everything went downhill after that Swisha bunt
Bad luck sometimes plays a part. A-Rod, Swish and Melky have all hit one on the screws right at someone. Those are the only ones I remember though…
I'm kind of feeling a vintage Wang 3 runs in 8 innings line. Just have to score some runs on the bullpen, since Hanson not pitching into the 7th.
Unless of course pinch hit for Wang this inning, then I'll look like an idiot.
And there you, please ignore the previous post
Yikes they did.
Aaaaaaannnd scene…
Brett ripped that ball.
Come through here, Hideki.
im tired of this ump giving Tommy that outside call
I don't understand this call – have Wang sacrifice and save Matsui for a higher leverage situation later. They need to work Wang longer – he pitched a good outing, but still. That said, looks like Wang's safe for another start.
They'll get him stretched out.
That said, looks like Wang's safe for another start.
John Kruk will say Wang gave them nothing tonight. Or wait, is that only for Joba?
I wanted him to come back out but… come on Dek!
On second thought. Wang needs more pitches, he's been getting tired around 80, he needs to be stretched out more.
Damnit ! Wang had only 62 pitches
Yankees rank in Batting Average over the past 5 years with RISP.
08: 10
07: 2
06: 5
05: 7
04: 7
03: 10
2009 – Yankees rank 2nd in AL in GIDP = 26 BA = .264 (9th AL); OBP = .363 (6th AL)
Of 14 teams in the AL, these stats prove exactly why the Yankees are average with RISP and struggling, these are average numbers.
Wang's at 62 pitches. Seems a little early to pull him, no?
Not if you want them to ANY chance to score a run, which clearly as a team, they are frightened to do.
well i think they wanted to see if they could get instant offense with matsui instead of an auto out. NL baseball at its finest…
probably. At this point, with the way they are hitting, not sure it will make much of a difference offensively. From a defensive perspective, gives Hughes more innings.
But somehow, this is how baseball "should" be played. Yep, let's have someone who has no business hitting stand in there with a bat as a free out. Ugh. I hate the NL.
i don't agree with the move, but trying to make a reasoning for Eiland/Girardi –
It's a muggy day down there, Wang has pitched well through 5. Anderson and Kotchman both have seen Wang more than the other Braves, and their lefty bats/hitting style perhaps made Girardi worried that Wang would struggle?
Eh …
Girardi should send Wang to the mound next inning. See if Bobby Cox notices that he wasn't at the plate.
Worst case scenario, they play the rest of the game under protest.
I enjoyed it.
(golf clap)
As its been said many times in this thread already, National League baseball is terrible. Wang is pitching well, 62 pitches through 5 and he's taken out for a pinch hitter. I hate it.
Give him Groucho Glasses. He'll never know.
Dag! Wrong reply.
Every other league in the world uses the DH. NPB, International play, college, everyone.
if Matsui doesn't get on it'll be a waste
Eh, do you really want Wang running the bases if he makes contact? I realize its early to pull him, but your bullpen is rested and why risk Wang batting.
That foot injury was a freak thing, he's not Yao Ming, his feet aren't going to break every time he runs.
Waddya trying to jinx him? : )
It's telling that with 3.2 innings left in the game we pull our starter for a PH.
Why the fuck would you PH with Matsui??? Wang threw 62 fuckin pitches!!! If he's gonna pitch, let the guy pitch you dumbass manager.
It has nothing to do with the pitcher, he's trying to put runs on the board which they've had a hard time doing lately. Is it a bit early and slight panicky? Yes, but it's in no way an indictment of Wang's performance.
Can the ump please calling that outside pitch for a strike!!!!
this is the exact reason why our bullpen has been so bad at times. Does joe girardi not understand what bullpen roles are? He has no fucking idea. He claims hughes is his high leverage guy and he's warming up for the 6th? How can a bullpen be successful when no one has a fucking CLUE when they will be called in to pitch?
Aceves rangers from 2nd inning to 8th inning
Hughes is supposed to be a 7th-8th inning guy, and he basically only pitches on Wang days, and only like 2 innings at that.
Makes no fucking sense.
If you are in the bullpen, you have one role, and only one: to get outs when you are told to enter the game.
It's really that simple.
Yeah if only it was that easy. Girardi was excellent at managing the pen last year, this year he's just fucking putrid.
It really is that easy. Anyone who tells you differently is sensationalizing.
Yeah our bullpen is flat out terrible. Joba to teh 8th!!!!1
Because our bullpen of Mo, Aceves, D-Rob, Bruney, Coke and Hughes is realllly bad.
Aceves rangers from 2nd inning to 8th inning
When the starter leaves in the 2nd inning then roles are going to be changed, there isn't a 2nd inning guy in the pen.
I don't think theres been any secret that Hughes piggybacks Wang.
yeah its called having a long reliever. If aceves is the long reliever then fine, but don't fucking bring him in the 8th inning then
Because Aceves has been so awful in the eighth inning this year.
He has used Hughes to back up Wang every damn time. If Hughes didn't know he was pitching after Wang, he must be high.
in every post game he talks about how hughes is his high leverage guy now.
All of this it batshit insane.
that is a bad move pinch hitting for wang…pitch count at 62?
i love gardner hes a very good weapon on are team.
Gardy on the bathpaths: you can't stop him, you can only contain him!
And the people who are containing him are unfortunately his own team.
Tying run at the plate. Let's fucking go Yankees.
Sets up the ooooooooole' DP ball for the Cap!
nice job hideki with the walk
We fucking HAVE to score here
great job by the yankees to get the kid out early. Moylan is good, so lets hope we can get to him. I can't remember if Moylan is their submariner, but i saw him a few games ago on mlb.tv. Let's hope we can get to him.
The cable/FiOS ads have become annoying now.
I think the cable guy is gay now. Which is kinda funny.
Jinxes be damned…Jeter FINALLY comes through here (he has to, it's like his 5th big spot in the past 3 games)
the setup/closers on the braves are ridiculously good. if we're still losing when we see gonzalez/soriano, it'll be real tough
The same Gonzalez who just gave up the walk off to NICK GREEN?
How sad am I? I don't even really care we are losing. I just want to see THE GREAT PHIL HUGHES.
come on yanks
There goes the quality start for Hanson …
C'mon score 4 runs for Wang now …
On a side note, here's hoping the heat helps Wang, well, heat up a bit. Here's hoping for a hot day next Sunday.
Is Hanson drunk? lol I swear it looks like they just fished him out of a gigantic vat of rum…
He was born in Oklahoma.
I am terrified. Heavy ground ball pitcher, 1st and 2nd, 1 out, Jeter up. Hoping for a short line drive to right.
And of course.
Let's go, Derek. Gotta bring at least one home here.
And "strike" one was inside, IMO.
like at least 12-15 other strikes
Re: Wang being taken out
Right now it's all about winning games. The Yankees needed a PH there with the way the offense is going. A big reason they have Hughes in the pen is b/c he was stretched out enough that he could be a backup should Wang shit the bed again. I also think Girardi wants to again get Hughes stretched out and pitch 2 innings… which he has yet to do.
Nope. Why score?
Ooooooooooooooooof course.
Didnt see that coming.
Derek Jeter has made a career of hitting outside pitches to the right side. So he decides to try and pull one and bangs into another DP. Awesome.
That was ruff.
Just the way your mother likes it, Pop.
I thought it was my Dad?
captain double play to the rescue
i grew up watching jim "6-4-3" rice but i've never seen anyone like jeter
captain double play
Captain Double play does it again.
Oh. My. God.
Say hello to 3rd place. Another GIDP. At least they will lead the league in something.
Say hello to 3rd place.
Even if we lose this game, we're still in second place and still leading the wildcard.
Calm down.
I'm really not liking hughes the reliever even though he's been lights out. the guy is a starter and needs to build his innings up. Either trust wang and send hughes to scranton or replace wanger with hughes in the rotation, but this hughes bullpen bull shit has gotta end soon
He'll likely be in the rotation after Joba get's shut down. They're possibly shutting down Hughes now to use his innings after Joba gets shut down. Saves innings for later I suppose if he's in the pen. But yeah he won't be in the bullpen forever.
I don't disagree, I think Hughes should be at AAA. That said, I think they'll keep it this way for the forseeable future. Wang looked good today, and with the rotation not exactly crisp, and the pen needing depth, I think Girardi sticks with this. If the rotation gets on a roll, who knows, maybe they change their mind.
i hate baseball
Baseball is a game that requires patience and perspective. If you don't have those things, you should do yourself a favor and find a new sport to enjoy, because baseball will chew up your heart and shit on your ego if you lack patience and perspective.
sweet. go away.
it seems like every time gardner steals a base for us lately, he never crosses home plate bc we're always blowing it.
Right on. The other day with one out.. he stole 2nd… then he stole 3rd… but we stranded him there.
I know we are not this bad…
We're not.
It's baseball. Shit happens.
Well Wang did his job. this offence is anemic.
Now this is getting to the point of ridiculous. It's like the baseball gods just take all the hitting powers of the Yankees with RISP.
fukin Jeter
Jeter is just annoying the fuck outta me with the DP's
We can't seem to shake this stank on the ol' hang low.
Could have been worse.
How? A DP is the worst possible outcome in that situation.
No one got injured?
Yep. Someone could have been injured.
he's lucky there was one out, I KNOW he can hit into a triple play
I mean I guess someone could have gotten hurt…but outside of that.
Its also great when we're trying to stretch out wang and we take him out at 62 pitches
excellent management
They need offense, the bullpen has shown they can hold it lately. Take advantage of the opportunities. Though, I really wanted to see Wang go further.
joel zumaya just threw 101 according to gameday. i don't get how anyone could possibly hit him
actually, he just hit 103 a few batters ago
easy when you just sit on a fastball
he has a change but not nearly as good
micah just bombed off him
"Easy when you just sit on a fastball" Dela G's explanation was reasonable, but its just retarded when you say it's "easy" to hit a 103 mph fastball. I would love to see you do it.
just because you throw 100+ doesn't make you unhittable. He throws a flat fastball, which is why people can hit him. Randy Johnson and nolan ryan threw 100+ with a shitload of movement, which is why no one could hit them
joel zumaya just threw 101 according to gameday. i don't get how anyone could possibly hit him
Armando Benitez and Kyle Farnsworth say hello.
Shit, Braves broadcast just had a Hughes fastball at 96 mph.
so did gameday
I told the person next to me that I would bet 20 dollars that Jeter would GIDP when he came to bat.
But remember, everyone…… there's nothing wrong with any of this. It's just baseball. Tomorrow's another day. Next inning is another inning. Next at bat is another at bat. The next pitch is all we need to think about. There are ups and downs. Shit happens. It's no one's fault. These guys are trying. Cut them some slack. There'll be days (even weeks…. months?) like this. Don't panic. We're really, really… REALLY!… a good team. You'll see.
We'll all see.
It's just baseball. It's just baseball. It's just baseball……
how long can we keep saying theres always tomorrow?
We're getting embarrassed by these weak NL teams. Not to mention our 0-8 against boston, losing record to philly, and probably tampa(not sure about this one)
The Yankees are currently leading the Wild Card race. Did you know that?
Phil hit 96
It's pen work. Guys let it rip.
Put him in the 'pen!
"His curveball has more snap to it" Come on Kay even for you that's a bit of a reach. Oh yeah did anyone else hear Fatcessa say today that Nolan Ryan wasn't a great pitcher?
Nolan Ryan, while a great pitcher, is wildly overrated.
Do you think the Yankees could score with bases loaded zero outs and a wild pitch?
I am guessing no.
chances are the catcher would pull a mauer and tag the runner out
Gameday has multiple 96s from Hughes against Kotchman. (Well, 95.6 and 95.8. Whatever. Remember when people were afraid he'd never break 90?)
Still not totally crazy about yanking Wang early. Yeah, they need offense, but they have to get Wang right, and another inning or two could go a long way towards that end. 62 pitches is nothing.
why can't hughes get in rotation! he throwing well. Hope they dont make the wrong decision with him too.
hughes = overpowering
never thought i'd say that.

We live in very partisan times; everyone knows this.
But few things demonstrate the degree of that partisanship like the two charts below, which come courtesy of the blogger (and contributor to the liberal blog Daily Kos) Xenocrypt.
Both charts compare how each congressional district voted for president in two successive elections. The first compares how they voted for President Obama in 2008 and 2012, while the second compares how they voted for two-time Democratic candidate (and two-time loser) Adlai Stevenson in 1952 and 1956.
As you can see, the votes in 2008 and 2012 for Obama fall on an extremely straight line, suggesting little variation between the two elections. In addition, basically all of the districts held by Democrats (these are the blue plots) predictably favored Obama, while almost all the Republican-held districts (red) favored the GOP candidates.
Look back 60 years, though, and there is significantly less order to this chart -- even though both the 1952 and 1956 elections featured exactly the same matchup between Stevenson and President Dwight Eisenhower.
Even as the matchup was the same, though, the results district-by-district varied widely between the two elections.
You'll also notice on this chart that there are many more Democratic-held districts that voted for the Republican Eisenhower (more blue plots in the bottom-left quadrant).
The reality is that Americans are so partisan and races are so nationalized that it's pretty unlikely we'll see more elections like the ones in 1952 and 1956.
For better or worse, the presidential vote in any one congressional district is eminently predictable, and the vote for that district's representative in Congress will be heavily correlated to that predictable outcome in the presidential race.

John Eberhard, launching a report he chaired for the OECD, Ageing and Transport, said that subjecting older drivers to compulsory annual drivers' licence checks would be a waste of money and government resources.
Older drivers were under-represented in injurious crashes of all levels of severity except for fatalities, a factor attributed to older people being more frail, the report found.
Based on 1998 data from Britain, Holland and Spain, it found that drivers over 65 had only a third to a quarter of the number of crashes that younger drivers had. Males under 24 were the most accident-prone, with around 30 crashes per 1000 drivers.
But Dr Eberhard said that crash victims aged 70 or more were twice as likely to die in an accident, and those over 80 were four times more likely to die, due to their frailty.
Rather than trying to prise wrinkled fingers from steering wheels, society could not afford to take older drivers off the roads. They did not need to be removed, and their mobility helped them to avoid isolation and depression.
Dr Eberhard, a research psychologist from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said it was not proved that older drivers left a trail of crashes in their wake.
"It's not the oldies who cause accidents, it's the young ones impatient at their slow speed who run into them," Dr Eberhard said.
Impatient drivers should get used to older people driving. A maturing baby-boomer generation, increased longevity and a falling birth rate meant that by 2030, one in every four people in the Western world would be aged 65 or older, around twice as many as now.
The task was to identify older drivers suffering health problems that affected their driving skills, Dr Eberhard said.
Sufferers of diabetes, cataracts, dementia and psychiatric disorders were around 2.5 times more likely to have an accident, the report found. Family, health professionals, clergy and social workers had a role to play in identifying impairment.
The report will be considered by the upcoming state parliamentary inquiry into older drivers.

Empirical Likelihood Estimation Of Conditional Moment Restriction Models With Unknown Functions
This paper proposes an empirical likelihood-based estimation method for conditional moment restriction models with unknown functions, which include several semiparametric models. Our estimator is called the sieve conditional empirical likelihood (SCEL) estimator, which is based on the methods of conditional empirical likelihood and sieves. We derive (i) the consistency and a convergence rate of the SCEL estimator for the whole parameter, and (ii) the asymptotic normality and efficiency of the SCEL estimator for the parametric component. As an illustrating example, we consider a partially linear regression model with nonparametric endogeneity and heteroskedasticity.

Belgian transport minister has suspended the Flemish transport company from using biofuel, pending more information regarding alleged negative effects.22 May 2008
BELGIUM - The use of biofuel for buses of Flemish transport company De Lijn has been suspended.
The decision was taken in reaction to the controversy regarding the advantages of biofuel.
The De Lijn buses have been running on a mixture that includes 3 percent biodiesel.
However, according to Flemish Mobility Minister Kathleen Van Brempt, it is unclear if biodiesel is actually good.
"We wanted to increase the percentage of biodiesel in the fuel De Lijn uses, but now it looks like this might not be an ethically responsible thing to do," says Minister Van Brempt.
Critics of biofuels blame them for pushing up food prices and causing hunger in already poor regions of the world.
"If it turns out that the food prices are rising in the developing countries as a result of biofuels, then we have to set priorities. I cannot believe that we would not set food as a priority over producing biofuel from crops. That would be unethical," says Van Brempt.
The transport minister has decided to suspend the use of biodiesel for De Lijn buses pending more information.
De Lijn is a global leader in the use of biofuels.

The Project
Before the launch of the provocative psychological science fiction thriller Self/less, Gramercy Pictures and Metalworks partnered to create a unique launch party giving social media influencers an all-access pass into the Playboy Mansion. Before the movie's pre-screening, Metalworks created an interactive installation that invited guests to be a "controller" in a lab environment – where they steer parts of a vessel male human body on the other side. The social media influencers present at the event who volunteered for the experiment had their head and arms strapped to sensors that detected neuro-signals and impulses from the brain directly.
- 346,538 social media shares and engagement over Instagram, Twitter and Youtube
- Key influencers, Jared Chambers and Philip De Franco shared a photo on Instagram that gathered more than 10k likes each. Charles Trippy posted a vlog on his YouTube channel that achieved more than 280k views and tweeted about the event garnering 280+ favourites.

Camel Trophy 1996 - Kalimantan Trailer (1996)
01 January 1996 Factual 49 mins
The spirit of the Camel Trophy was never more evident than in the 1996 event, which combined 4WD adventure and achievement unmatched in its seventeen year history. First there was the inhospitable terrain, as Camel Trophy '96 became the first expedition to complete a 1850km East-West vehicular crossing of Kalimantan, the remote jungle heartland of Indonesian Borneo. Then there were the conditions - the searing heat, monsoon rains, relentless glutinous mud and huge river crossings. But there was also breathtaking primary rainforest, the beauty and friendliness of the local people and the extraordinary camaraderie this event inspires. In just 22 days, teams from 20 countries battled their way towards the golden beaches of Pontianak in a convoy of 38 Land Rover Discoverys and Defender 110s.

Summer Camp announce new album 'Bad Love', stream title track – listen
The duo's third LP is set for release on May 25
Summer Camp have announced plans for their new album 'Bad Love'.
Click below to stream the record's title track. The duo's third LP is set for release on May 25 via the Moshi Moshi label, and will be followed by two special shows, at Manchester Eagle Inn on May 29 and London's Victoria on June 1.
The album has been self-produced, after the pair worked with Pulp's Steve Mackey on debut 'Welcome To Condale' and Stephen Street on its follow-up Summer Camp. "…self-producing means you get the most direct expression of what you're trying to do. It's not filtered through anyone else. I feel like this album is the purest expression of what we're like since the Young EP," said Jeremy Warmsley of the group. The LP will feature the songs 'Drive Past My House' and 'You're Gone'.
In between the release of 2013's 'Summer Camp', the duo wrote the soundtrack for Charlie Lynne's teen movie documentary, Beyond Clueless.

coron exp
Coron Travel Blog› entry 1 of 1 › view all entries
This place really has a stronghold not only on me but also for those who have step-foot in its splendid powdery white sand and for those who have experienced the unrivaled beauty of each and every island this place has to offer.
Financial constraints and all that flaws made this trip almost impossible. But a traveler's soul will make it through, by crook or by hook. And since I have been dreaming of going to Palawan, I made it sure that this trip will happen.
has never been this fun! Thanks to Cebu Pacific's implausible offer, we
got our plane ticket to and from Busuange for only Php 766.
After 45 minutes of soaring in the pallid sky, we then reached the place that would connect us to coron, Busuanga.
The road trip from busuanga to coron will not bore you at all. All you have to do is get an ipod and just enjoy the fallow countryside and the rich greenery. And after almost an hour, we finally arrived at coron.
stayed at L&M P lodge which is located just beside Coron market.
We decided to start our coron experience with our hopes for a stunning view of the sunset in Mt. Tapyas. Unfortunately it started to drizzle and the clouds wrapped up our dazzling sun. Even so, we still enjoyed the entire view of the town when we reached the summit.
The whole climb bushed us but we can't just end the night like that. Thus, after we had our dinner, we went for a walk and found ourselves in Kawayanan Grill station. They offer this mouth-watering sisig and a must-try coron sling . They also served beers, cocktails, and shakes and they had a live acoustic singer entertaining patrons at night.
It was a great night for everyone and we were just as excited to island hop the next day.
First stop was Siete Pecados, where we spent half an hour chasing these multi-hued creatures and luring them into eating the breads we brought specially for them. Next stop was Kayangan lake, this secluded haven cannot be reached by boat thus we needed to hiked for 10 mins to get there. A few ups and downs on massive rocks and mushy mud would really worth once the beauty of this hidden lake starts to unfold. .And so, as excited as we were we get into its green pool of still water and greeted with tiny sword fishes swimming at the edge where white large rocks could be seen below the surface.
an hour of our first lake snorkeling, we headed to Twin Lagoon. So off
we go to this two-sided lagoon separated by a small rock opening
that you have to pass through to get to the other side. It is literally
surrounded by gigantic rock formation like those that you'll see in
Sagada. It's very quiet in this lake that if you'll shout you'll here
the echo of your voice bumping on every side of it.
docked at the white sand beach and headed to the covered bamboo tables
for our lunch. Everyone dived into the table, obviously famished after
a morning filled with swimming and climbing activities.
After an hour of feast, we went to this marine sanctuary nested on the western side of Coron, Twin Peek is teeming with abundant aquatic life.
I excitedly jumped in the water and snorkeled my way in the middle. Different and unique aquatic display of corals, fishes, anemones and marine animals lay before me. As soon as we dropped crumbs of bread, fishes soared from everywhere. I was ecstatic of this communion with the aquatic vertebrates. We would really want to spend more time here but there's still one more place on our list.
Our last stop, CYC which seemed
like an abandoned place is actually the only island that doesn't have
any entrance fee.
The sun was setting so we headed back to our lodge. We rested a bit then went to the park to experience the festival they're having that time.
Third DAY:
We decided to have another set of island hopping and go to those places we missed yesterday. We rented a boat for 1500 which can accommodate 7-10 pax and also got a single-seater kayak for free.
started the trip on our favorite site in Coron, Twin Peak.
Next stop, Skeleton wreck. Curious about the wreck, I went into the water to take a look and was surprise to see abundant fishes around the wreck. I couldn't find it at first because the water was too deep. Finally, I saw a white rusty object underneath. I didn't want to explore any further because the whole site dreaded us.
After an eerie experience at the wreck, we headed to an unnamed island to have our lunch. It's a
small stretch of powdery white sand beach with tranquil water.
Our last foray was on this man made hot spring on the eastern side of Coron. Getting our tired bodies soothed with warm water would be the best way to cap the day. Balmy water from two small pools cascaded to a bigger pool and a grotto of the Virgin Mary stood on the top.
It was truly an astounding jaunt that marked our hearts ceaselessly.

My go-to time-waster, Mentalfloss, took me on a fun jaunt down memory lane this week. I, of course, immediately messaged my college besties and they had some hilarious additions to this list of 11 Fashions the Kids Were Wearing in 1993.
|Is it just me? Or was modesty the least of our problems in college?
Notably absent from this list were: calico jumpsuits/clownpants and boxers as girl shorts.
In the fall of 1992, while on my Rome semester, I went running* through the small town of Vitinia, where the UD Rome campus was located for awhile. I got a lot of weird looks from the locals. I remember thinking, "They must never see women running for exercise in this medieval town." It never occurred to me that my Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger Too neon boxer shorts might be attracting attention.
*To my recollection, this is the one and only time I have ever "went running."
|Oh. My. Word. This look is actually in?!? Right Now!
One friend-who-shall-not-be-named, shared her own European fashion faux pas:
Ha! I had the cutest body suit I bought in Paris to wear on the plane home from Europe. FYI do NOT wear a body suit with your mom jeans on a long plane ride. Using those tiny restrooms was an Olympic feat!Let that be a lesson to you kids! *wagging finger* No Parisian bodysuits on overseas flights!
3. A few mom have asked me about where to buy nice clothes for tweens and teens. I think my teens always look good, probably because I am their mother. However, I try to stay all up in their business about their clothes. Good-looking trendy not trashy dress clothes require a little more reconnaissance than jeans and tees.
There are few places that I've found to be fairly reliable.
4. Old Navy
|This model's legs are way longer than mine.
My Old Navy only had them in navy and white, but I see online that there is a red one too! Tempting....
I can nearly always find lovely special occasion dresses at LOFT. Don't be fooled by the pictures online. Just like the image above, sometimes what looks to be shorty-short on a digital model is quite nice on a real flesh and blood person. Plus, their petites section is just as trendy. My friend, Kathy, gave me that tip when our girls' were in middle school.
Here are a couple of the items my girls have gotten at LOFT this year.
|Lucy's maxi skirt, good for three seasons in these parts.
|Susan's Easter dress
|Bad photo, but I wanted to show you the whole dress.
|Christmas dress AND Christmas dance dress. Boom!
|This is a real screenshot from my phone today.

The ancient motto, inscribed in Latin on a mysterious golden medallion recovered from the ruins of the Roman Empire, has guided Michael Tiranno to heights few men have achieved. Once an orphaned farm boy in his native Sicily, Michael made millions by mastering the intricate world of high finance and is now the fabulously wealthy owner of Las Vegas's Seven Sins, the grandest and most extravagant casino in the world. The lavish resort embodies the personal philosophy fueled by his lust for power: the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
But he also has secrets---secrets that he and Naomi Burns, his driven corporate attorney and confidante, have gone to great lengths to bury. When an enemy from the past threatens to undermine everything he has built, his dark history must now be uncovered. Together, they must tear open painful scars in Michael's heart and soul to discover the true identity of their unknown foe---before all of Las Vegas pays the price for Michael Tiranno's realized dreams.

"Nonstop action and a dizzying array of exotic locales make this great fun to read." (Publishers Weekly)
"[This] spectacular ride, global in its dimensions, will enthrall all thrill seekers. Highly recommended." (Library Journal)
"One too many "kiddos""
Try as a might, I couldn't find one character in this book to like. Ultimately I had to choose the lessor of many evils. The author also felt the need to start a new chapter whenever the mood hit him. Often this was when he changed the setting and the time frame, which he did often. And that is one of the major criticisms I have for this work. It jumped around too much. This allowed readers to meet Max Price, someone we learned was killed in an explosion very early on. I would have preferred he remain dead as every fourth of fifth word out of his mouth was "kiddo," or so it seemed. This book wasn't horrible and if you like stories about the mob (I do) then it's something you might want to pick up on a sale (I did).

Be Merciful
Luke 6:36
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
When I was younger – and I officiated baseball games – in some of the leagues where I worked there was something called a mercy rule. Sometimes it was called a slaughter rule. Either way it went like this – if a team ever got ahead of another team by 10-15 runs – (depending on the league) – the game was called to show mercy to the team being beaten so badly. In some leagues it didn't matter how many innings had been played and I remember the mercy rule being applied in the bottom of the first inning. Mercy – defined on an online dictionary is compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm.
In the Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology – Mercy is a concept integral to an understanding of God's dealings with humankind. In English translations of the Bible, it comes to expression in phrases such as "to be merciful, " "to have mercy on, " or "to show mercy toward." The corresponding term, "merciful, " describes a quality of God and one that God requires of his people. The noun denotes compassion and love, not just feelings or emotions, as expressed in tangible ways. Continue reading
For God So Loved Us
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
God loves us and we are called to love God. God so loved us – according to today's passage – that He gave His own life for our lives. God the Father so loved the world that He gave us God the Son to suffer death upon the Cross of Calvary for our redemption. Today's passage is a favorite of many. John 3:16 is often put on posters at golf tournaments!
As Holy Week unfolds before us – we are being reminded of the love of God. God's love is what our walk with Jesus should be all about dear readers. Romans 5:8 – But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. John 15:13 – Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. 1 John 4:9–10 – 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Continue reading
Showing Love During A Season Like This!
Romans 8:37
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Some of us grew up in a time when men had a hard time showing their emotions. Even in today's society it is not unusual for some men to have a hard time saying I love you to their spouse – their children – family – or others. Some women have a hard time as well – but it seems to come more naturally for them.
Along the lines of some men having a hard time saying they love the ones they do love – it is not uncommon to hear at a funeral for a dad – he may not have said it very often if at all – but I knew my father loved me.
At funerals I often remind people to not wait to say I love you to those they love – because the opportunities might be short – and the end can come unexpectedly. A clergy friend of mine – four years my junior – died suddenly of a heart attack – here one moment and gone the next. We all know of people who died suddenly – and maybe we had some regrets about not saying we loved them enough – if at all. Same thing for people holding grudges against those they love. It is often heard at funerals – the last time we spoke we had an argument – and then I find out that the argument was months – even years ago at times. Continue reading
Sold Out For Jesus
1 Timothy 1:15
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.
What is our purpose in life? Recently we have been looking into the Word of God for some understanding concerning God's will for our lives. Have we figured it out yet? One of my favorite passages of Scripture tells us something we need to do to know God's will in our lives. Romans 12:2 – Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will. We are called to be transformed – changed – renewed. If we walk in the path of righteousness rather than the path of the world – we will be able to better understand God's will for our lives. If we seek after God – after Christ – we will be able to better understand what God's will is for us – God's will for our lives.

Recipe At-A-Glance
Bacon Almond Cheddar Bruschetta is a rich and cheesy appetizer that is the perfect option for your game day eats.
Ready in 20 minutes
Something you might not know about me: I'm kind of a huge, obsessive, scream-at-the-top-of-my-lungs sports fan. Yep, I'm totally one of those people. College basketball, hockey, and open-wheel racing are my drugs of choice, but I really don't discriminate. If it involves someone keeping score of something and a winner and a loser, I'll probably watch it.
Even though football doesn't top my list for favorite sports to watch, I still, happily wear my blue and support the mighty horse during playoff season. I was really hopeful we'd see an Indiana team in the final game this year, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.
Sure, I'm a little bummed that my team didn't quite make it to the big game, but that just means that there will be a lot less pressure on game day. Instead, I can now focus on what really is the best part of the game—the food!
I like a fancy restaurant dinner with wine and lobster and creme brûlée as much as the next girl (okay, not particularly), but if you were to ask me what I'd want for my last meal, it would be a game day spread. Give me some good beer, some cheese-filled appetizers, and the big game, and I'm a happy lady.
These "bruschetta" are pretty much everything a good game-day dish should be. There is bacon (check!), cheese (check!), hot sauce (check!), and a heavy-handed dose of mayo (check!). All of this is mixed with toasted, sliced almonds and finely minced onions to give these toasts an incredible flavor and crunch!
These toasts aren't light or particularly healthy. Although, they do use all "real" ingredients—so, like with most foods, just as long as you don't wolf down the whole tray, you're fine. And because they are so rich and cheesy, one or two toasts is plenty to satisfy—especially when combined with other foods at your game day party (like this or this or this).
Whichever team you are cheering for in a couple of weeks (or even if you're just there to watch the commercials), this appetizer will definitely be a good companion to the big game.
Bacon Almond Cheddar Bruschetta
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 20 toasts
Bacon almond cheddar bruschetta is a rich and cheesy appetizer that is the perfect option for your game day eats.
- 1 baguette, cut into 1″ slices
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely minced
- 1 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 cup sliced almonds (I recommend: Blue Diamond Almonds)
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- Preheat oven to 425°. Brush one side of each of the baguette slices with olive oil, place on a baking sheet, oil side up, and toast in oven for 4-5 minutes, until slightly browned. Remove from oven, and flip the toasts over, so toasted side is down.
- Meanwhile, mix together the onion, mayo, Worcestershire, almonds, bacon, cheese, hot sauce, and dry mustard in a small mixing bowl until well combined.
- Spoon about a tablespoon and a half of the almond mixture onto each toast. Bake in oven for 7-8 minutes, or until bubbly and browned. Sprinkle with green onions before serving.
These toasts can be made ahead of time and frozen, before the final baking step—perfect for a quick appetizer when unexpected company stops by.

Lynx-Sky Preview
Maya Moore is the easy pick for the WNBA's top performer through the first 10 days of the season.
The honor of top team is up for debate, though it should be ironed out a bit Monday when Moore's Minnesota Lynx visit the Chicago Sky and Elena Delle Donne in a matchup of the league's only remaining unbeatens.
Moore set a league record with her fourth straight game of 30 points or more in Saturday's 87-82 home win over New York. She had 30 on 11-of-19 shooting against the Liberty and is averaging a WNBA-best 33.8, including a career-high 38 Friday at Tulsa.
"It's really kind of overwhelming," Moore said after a 5-for-8 effort from 3-point range Saturday. "I'm not really thinking too much – I'm just out there playing, worried about helping my team win."
The reigning WNBA Finals MVP extended her streak despite playing a season-low 31 minutes and suffering a first-quarter collision that left her with a cut over her right eye requiring five stitches.
"I needed an ice bag for my forehead when that happened," Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve said. "I'm thinking, 'How are we going to score?'"
That's an especially pertinent question with Rebekkah Brunson, Monica Wright and Dev Peters all out for extended periods with knee injuries, though Minnesota (4-0) has gotten by. The Lynx are averaging a league-best 90.0 points even without the 23.7 the trio provided in 2013.
While Lynx guard Seimone Augustus has contributed heavily with 20.8 points through her first four contests, Moore has accounted for 37.5 percent of the team's scoring.
"We've got the biggest band-aid in maybe the history of the league right now with Maya Moore," Reeve told the team's official website.
While the Lynx have allowed 84.8 points on their early ascent to the top of the Western Conference, the Sky (4-0) have done it with defense in the East. Chicago is allowing a WNBA-low 69.3 points per game, and its 10.3 scoring margin is a league best.
Delle Donne's 23.5 points per game have accounted for 29.6 percent of the Sky's 79.5 points. She scored a season-high 27 in Saturday's 87-73 home win over Atlanta, which set a franchise record for Chicago's best start to a season.
"We're thrilled to be 4-0 and have all W's," Delle Donne said. "But it's early and we have to continue to get better and improve. Even tonight there were some lapses that we can't have."
Last season, the teams split two games with Rookie of the Year Delle Donne scoring a career-high 32 points in the first meeting, a 94-86 home overtime victory on Aug. 11. The Lynx defeated Chicago 79-66 on Sept. 14, their final regular-season contest before marching on to the WNBA title.
The Lynx and Sky met May 11 in the championship of the inaugural WNBA Preseason Tournament with Minnesota winning 79-69, though both teams spread their minutes around.

NEARLY everyone reads these lines from the Georgics of Virgi 1 in this way:
At sapor indicium faciet manifestus et oraHyginus, however, on my word no obscure grammarian, in the Commentaries 3 which he wrote on Virgil, declares and insists that it was not this that Virgil left, but what he himself found in a copy which had come from the home and family of the poet:
Tristia temptantum sensu torquebit amaro. 2
et oraand this reading has commended itself, not to Hyginus alone, but also to some other learned men, because it seems absurd to say "the taste will distort with its bitter sensation." "Since," they say, "taste itself is a sensation, it cannot have another sensation in itself, but it is exactly as if one should say, 'the sensation will distort with a bitter sensation.'" Moreover, when I had read Hyginus' note to Favorinus, and the strangeness and harshness of the phrase "sensu torquebit amaro" at once had displeased him, [p. 97] he said with a laugh: "I am ready to swear by Jupiter and the stone, 5 which is considered the most sacred of oaths, that Virgil never wrote that, but I believe that Hyginus is right. For Virgil was not the first to coin that word arbitrarily, but he found it in the poems of Lucretius and made use of it, not disdaining to follow the authority of a poet who excelled in talent and power of expression." The passage, from the fourth book of Lucretius, reads as follows: 6
Tristia temptantum sensus torquebit amaror, 4
dilutaque contraAnd in fact we see that Virgil imitated, not only single words of Lucretius, but often almost whole lines and passages.
