Come together…
For those who missed this story in today's Times, it's a great article about a number of Los Angeles business leaders and philanthropic types who have helped save the local high school sports programs that were going to be cut due to a lack of funding. As a product of a local high school baseball program, my personal thanks go out to all involved, including the Dodgers Dream Foundation.
Out in Cincinnati, the offense continues to click, as the Dodgers are leading all of baseball in hitting following last night's rare feat of scoring in eight of the nine innings. They'll head back out tonight trying to take two of three from the Reds.
Oh, and I keep forgetting to mention this but I tried to go visit cpompe1 on Opening Day on the reserved level, but couldn't find you. I went to the seat location you posted to say hello but there were thousands of people around and none who looked like I'd envision a compe1 would look like! So, let me know if you're out again and I'll try to pop by.
Here's tonight's lineup:
Furcal, SS
Kemp, CF
Ethier, RF
Manny, LF
Loney, 1B
Blake, 3B
DeWitt, 2B
Martin, C
Padilla, P

Let's take the rubber game!!!!
Two games in a row would be nice!
Great defense will make mediocre pitching alot better. Great pitching will make mediocre defense alot better. Good/Great pitching and defense together win championships. Mediocre to bad pitching and defense together spell watching the playoffs!!!
If we can't afford top notch pitching(although I believe a major market team with 3M+ attendance can), then our next best hope is to play better defense. Great offense and better than average defense will most likely get us to the playoffs. Winning the World Series however, almost always comes down to superior pitching.
A little above average pitching would be nice!
LOL, Bear!!!!
I think Padilla is one win away from #100.
LMAO Messagebear!!!
*******Josh – I believe CP couldn't make it that day. She had posted a few days before Opening Day that she got a job working for the Census and had training that day. I believe her mom and husband went instead.
LMAO Bear!!!
And Padilla's 101 wins away from being a good pitcher.
Outstanding Bear!!! LMAO!!!
Padilla is Ned's reincarnation/incredibly funny return of Tomko!!!
Oops, not so funny!!!
I did read that article in the LA Times this morning on the train but thanks for pointing it out!
That is so sweeeeet that you went to try to find Cpompe on Opening Day! We know how busy you get and you still went to look for her. I saw her with her mom….but wait that was not Opening Day since Opening Day I was dressed as Hilda Chester.
By reading Josh's post, it reminded me that I owe you pictures of you and your mom. Sorry! been busy but I'll try to upload them today. Say hello to your mom!
Hello ITD!
NedCo? proud to bring you Padon'ta. Not Bombko, but an incredible simulation.
Frank and Ned's version of the Slap Chop and Gratey!!! RonCo should sue!!!
Slice and chop up our franchise and try to grate and spread some media cheese to make it palatable.
Nice article in the LA Times. I appreciate the work done by the Dodgers Dream Foundation.
That being said I'm not letting the Hoodlum fan issue die.
Please do something about these issues. They have to end.
Frank — take the challenge…
Step up & do something about the unruly drunk fans who spoil the game and Dodger Stadium for the many more that are classy and respectful towards others.
In reading the article there is a comment below it that mentions how McCourt didn't pay taxes.
In Northern California on the Giants KNBR station they have an add for an income tax lawyer. They've had it on for a number of months now. In the add it talks about "legal" ways to avoid paying income taxes if your a small business… like the Dodgers owners Frank & Jamie McCourt, who made over 100 million and didn't have to pay taxes.
I don't know the details with the McCourts and not paying taxes and the add using them but does anyone else know the backround to that?
Every time I hear the add I've gotten ticked off. Because if they aren't paying taxes that is really bothersome to me.
… like the Dodgers owners Frank & Jamie McCourt, who made over 100 million and didn't have to pay taxes…
That is quoted from the add…
Weaver on DL…Kuo activated.
Sometimes you need to be honest with yourself and others. . Collie on april 21, 2010 4:33PM
Ouch Collie, I am being honest with myself and others. I said that I watched the video that is circulating and that I don't agree with the force that was used. It could have been handled better.
I also said that I pride myself in the section where I sit where we are like family. Going to the stadium often you get to know not only the fans around but the security people and all that work around us. If some of us can't use extra tickets, it gets passed on to friends or to the workers there and they bring their family.
I don't agree with the force by the security in that video. I also dislike the foul language used by the "fan" video taping it.
I praise the woman security that made the guys and women parked next to me dump all their beer in the parking lot.. They were complaining but she was just doing her job.
Yes, I love Dodger Stadium and on sellouts the security needs to be tighten more. But I also like to point out if they are doing a good job. I really appreciate that even without complaining, one of them came to me last year to my seat and whispered in my ear asking me "Is that fan there bothering you?" The fan in question was being too loud and a little obnoxious. Yes, I was kinda of hearing that "Fan" but I was also listening to the game, keeping score and watching the game so I appreciated that she walked down a few steps to ask me that (I was sitting a few rows down).
As you all know tail gating is not permitted at Dodger Stadium but "fans" try to sneak alcohol in. More and more this year I have seen security track it down and make fans dump the stuff and in some occasion give warnings or citations. For that I praise them. Some of these fans acted surprised that they tracked down on them, well the reason is because the security has tighten up on this this year. They patrol more on bicycles.
Some of you might not like me AND THAT IS OK! I learned a loooong time ago you can't please everyone AND that not everyone has to like you. In the past I have not agreed with you all on some things like continuing to pick on Juan Pierre. I could have gone along with all of you on the bashing BUT I would not have been HONEST WTIH MYSELF if I did that. I'll continue to be who I am, sometimes agreeing with you guys, sometimes I wont and sometimes speaking out. Let's just say that if someone does not like you, it might be because you made a stand for something you believe on and that is OK! BUT if offended you, please let me know.
I just had a flashback of the movie "Meet Joe Black" where the oldest daughter to the role played by Anthony Hopkins tells her dad "I know I am not your favorite and that is OK dad, because you are mine."
I mentioned that the last time I went to Angel Stadium was two years ago. From the ticket office where we bought our tickets, my friend and I were made to feel like second cititzens. I have not been back but I won't let that stop me from trying to get tickets to the All-Star game even though that was a tought trip I made to the Phone booth for the All-Star game there a few years back. I won't let that stop me from trying to get tickets to Angel Stadium for the game and also to the Fan-Fest. I love Baseball!
If you ever want to come back Collie and wife, I'll get you tickets but not dugout or baseline 🙂 I'll sit with you two. I'll protect you 😉
Oh no! while typing this my friend Lore texted me that Weaver is on the 15 day DL.
Have a wonderful rest of the day everyone!
I think I exausted my quota here. Need to work now and need to do some work when I get home too.
And, Russ Ortiz chooses free agency….lol…lots of luck with that!
LOL Tru!!! Geez!!!
You will be happy to know JP's average is up to .214 :))
:))) Nelly!!
We need to take a look at the way the Atlanta Braves access talent.
Hopefully, the impending divorce will force a sale of the team and we will employ Bobby Cox as our GM when he retires after this year.
Get Kirk Gibson back as our bench coach, and Orel to coach the pitchers!!!!!
If we still had JP I guarantee Matt and Dre wouldn't have the HR and RBI counts they have. And I mean that from a perspective of JP would be taking some of their playing time. It is in no way indicative of his .214 BA 🙂
Come by and visit my husband Dan and I any time:
Club Level Section 237 row D (second row) seats 3 & 4
Would love to see you!
Gotta say I admired Juan Pierre for class and attitude!
I miss O DAWG, he plays 2nd base in a way that reminds me of Ozzie Smith at short. And yeah I do know his wrist is trashed and can't hit much any more. I still admire him.
Fast losing faith in George Sherrill, not sure what is meant by "mechanical problems" and I know the Dodgers have the best mechanical engineers around, seems like "they" can't fix him! Worrisome…
Don't think the divorce is going to matter, Frank still has loads of assets and cash. Just getting her out of the picture (great time to announce a divorce!) may well relieve a lot of stress/distraction from the front office and let everyone focus on doing their jobs!
Hi Everybody
Wow this offense is something else, sure wish we could get good pitching at the same time.
It's either one or the other, I guess
This would be a good time for Padilla to win his 100th
and congratulations to the Dodgers on their 120th anniversary in the N.L.
OBF, I was thinking the same thing. Now the Dodgers have the ability to score a bunch of runs but the pitching staff gives up too many!
Matt and Andre….the Dynamic Duo!!!!!
ANDRE' Just 1/3 of our DYNAMIC TRIO.
Emma — I don't dislike you you at all. Like I said I appreciate your love for all things baseball. My points are that there is a problem with the unruly fans. That's great that you are in a section that everybody knows each other and are friends.
The comment … Sometimes you need to be honest with yourself and others. . Collie on april 21, 2010 wasn't really aimed at you. It was more aimed at the Dodgers ownership & myself. I'm a positive person. But I have to be honest with myself as well as the Dodger Ownership.
I live in the Bay Area and have to take it from Giants fans all the time about how crummy the Dodger fans are. That we come late, leave early, etc… I always go back and forth with them on that. But I've always felt that the fans in LA had class & were respectful. Based on my last few visits and others comments and reports that I'm hearing that is no longer the case. So I have to be honest with myself and I'm embarrassed by it.
I think the ownership needs to do something to make the stadium a great place to visit. In my experience there wasn't enough security (Which they even stated to me as well). I'm all for security and am not offended by security when they have to rough someone up due to them fighting with them. Very few people get roughed up when they listen to those in authority. But when beer/alcohol is involved most don't have very good decision making skills. I've been in situations where people are fighting with me and I'm just trying to control them. My issue isn't with security going "hands on" with someone.
It's with stopping the issue before they need to go "hands on".
During my last visit for about 5 innings I watched Giants fans get food & beer thrown at them. They weren't doing anything to warrant it other than sitting there. They weren't even cheering for their team and they were getting pelted. When they stood up to go to the restroom/get food it was worse and they had people swearing at them & telling them to sit down, go home, etc… while throwing food & beer at them. This was trying to provoke them into a confrontation. One guy who was a couple of rows in front of me kept standing up and getting in the face of a couple of Giants fans and flipping them off and swearing at them saying F**K the Giants and laughing at them and really egging them on.
The ushers just stood there. These fools should of been gone by inning #2. I thought there was a zero tolerance policy. I thought if you swear your gone, aggressive behavior & you gone, throwing food/drink your gone. Obviously not. Then when I summoned security they just came by and told them to calm down. Which they did until 5 minutes after security left. It got worse & worse.
In addition to my section there were fights all throughout the game and not just in my section because everybody would stand to watch the other fights going on. With many fans cheering it on.
This is so wrong IMO. The message is and has been sent for a long time that it's okay to act like this. Well the ownership I feel needs to change this thinking.
This is also why I feel the ownership needs to be honest with themselves. I would love to see McCourt sit in the bleachers or anywhere not behind home in a Giants jersey with a hat and sunglasses so no one recognized him. & no security with him. So he can see what the fans are like. He needs to be honest with himself and make a difference.
I have no issues with you personally. I'm sorry if it seems that way. We are all entitled to our own opinion. But I do feel that anyone that goes to the game regularly would see some of these incidents and be nauseated by them and want some changes to be made.
Just hearing that the beer was poured on some young kids is enough to put me over the edge to make this an issue. I would hope that you would agree with me even though in your section it's a non-issue.
I'm sorry if I personalized my comments towards you. I'm just very frustrated about this issue and really want people to go to the game and have a good time win or lose and for kids to fall in love with the game the way all the others on here as well as you & I have.
If I can convince Wifey to go to a game again I would love to meet you and sit with you. I really love your excitement for the Dodgers and your enthusiasm for baseball.
Hey Beav, we took a leake for 2 runs. LOL!!! Now, let's hope we don't take a dump.
Error # 1!
Give me a little kiss will you, heh?
And I'll giv'it right back to you.
Leake looks a little Lincecum, no?
That SB looks like.
I hope our boys saved some runs for today.
Let me put it this way:
Leake looks a little like Lincecum, to me.
Casey seems content to leave the bat on his shoulder and stare at strikes
Good work so far, Padilla…..let's get you some more runs!
Maybe Padilla should give up another run, it might wake the Dodger offense.
Way to go Raffy!
Nice going RAFFY.
Collie – I think the only thing that saved my son and husband from the same treatment that you are talking about is because they were there with Dodger fans (me, Dodgereric, Chris, Matt and Mariya, who were all wearing Dodger blue), and it was pretty obvious they were with us. However, there were Giants fans around us not being treated so well. What I saw was more of the invoking behavior that you were talking about…….trying to get a reaction from the Giants fans.
lets show a stat how Padilla has gotten the last 13 in a row, and what happens next? thanks for the jinx jerks
can we get that one reversed?
Damn I see our pitchers are in a "Charity Mode" AGAIN!
Let me just say "PINCHE PADILLA!"
OBF, be careful what you wish for.
Good evening all.
Here's hoping they take the rubber game there in Cincy!
Just got home from work, turned on the game on the pc, and the NFL draft on ESPN. Just glad my team got some defensive help with the #8 pick – Rolondo McClain (ILB from Bama). Sure hope he helps out the Raiders in helping out stopping the run. They blew hard in run defense this past season.
Just catching up on the previous posts and ……….
Josh, if you want to see cpompe for next time, I think I have a couple of shots of her from ITD day last year on http://s374.photobucket.com/albums/oo187/Ericmonson/Dodger%20Tour/?start=all
Waaaaay too many LOL moments courtesy jhall/enchanted/messagebear to re-post, but:
"Unfortunately Beav, our owner and GM are like an Almond Joy, No Nuts!!!!
By jhallwally on April 22, 2010 1:47 PM"
…….that one was my favorite.
Regarding the reversal of Andre's "catch" yesterday:
"That's probably the first time that ever happened in baseball history.
By oldbrooklynfan on April 21, 2010 6:32 PM"
Me too, OBF. I still can't believe that they did that.
"Great defense will make mediocre pitching alot better. Great pitching will make mediocre defense alot better. Good/Great pitching and defense together win championships. Mediocre to bad pitching and defense together spell watching the playoffs!!!
By jhallwally on April 22, 2010 2:08 PM"
Absolutely agree, jhall. As evidence, I present our current won/loss record, and it's been mostly against poor teams. We have yet to play the cream of the league.
Emma, your post was heartfelt and genuine and I hope you never cease to post whatever you wish here. But I think your judgement in this matter is a little biased due to the friendships you have acquired among the Dodger Stadium personnel. You've frequently mentioned the ushers and security people be name and its obvious they are your friend and you would naturally defend them. I have no problem with that. But you would have to agree that after reading the incidents that nellyjune and collie posted, to say that security is not perfect is an understatement.
Collie, keep fighting the good fight. You're pretty classy in your own right. I'm at your side.
Finally, I would say that the arrival of Kuo and Bellisario is not yet the answer to our bullpen problem.
what the f*&k was that?!
I said maybe, I didn't wish for it, Iberken.
About the homerun…………..as Rick Monday said………….."It was a very bad pitch"…………..I would have to agree with that.
Hi guys, had to work late again tonight and just got home. Another bad night pitching wise, especially the bullpen again. I don't know what it's going to take to right the ship. We just have to hang in there. What happened to Manny? I hope it's not serious.

Padilla's struggling now.
COM'ON DODGERS, it's your turn.
Alright Garrett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to go GA!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTG Garret!!! Welcome to the Dodgers!
What happened to Manny?
He was running to first and pulled up as if to pull his hamstring again.
Alright Blake DeWitt!!!
KUO didn't look too sharp.
I hate when Scott Rolen comes to the plate.
He's always trouble.
Gtta get back at them.
Is it just me, or does it seem like Kemp would have caught that ball last year? He seems clueless sometimes lately trying to catch and missing fly balls that are definitely catchable.
when the reds score 11, 6, and 8 and counting against u, ur pitching is in trouble
Belisario was more like bruto, tonight
500 will have to wait another day, if we ever get there
32and53fan – it sure seems that way at times with Matt. Maybe he needs to get his eyes/contacts checked.
Well, you get what you pay for. We're unfortunately paying for Frank the Clown and Jamie the ***** to live the high life!!! Not spending it on the pitching!!! What a pathetic and cruel joke!!!!!!
We the pitching is off the defense has more opportunities to make errors.
Jamie the wh*re!!!!
That SB When not We
This offense deserves so much better than the pitchers that FranknNed has given them. I can't really blame Torre for this because he DID ask for pitching as well.
Total Bullsh*t!!! All you LA lemmings that keep going to the games deserve this entree of crap!!! Lap it up morons!!!!!
We had a great bullpen for a coupler years so maybe it time for a change. I hate to say.
Lousy it took our offense this long to mature.
Jhall – I am glad you weren't there to see this in person. What a nightmare we have in pitching this season so far(with a few exceptions of course).
With apologies to Barry Gordy, I'm going to have to go with:
Hittsville, U.S.A.
I think Jhall is a little TICKED OFF!!!!!!
I'm unwarped back here , but in case I'm not with this post, my vote for the name of the Bullpen is at 7:42pm.
I would say he is a tad miffed :))
Are we being negative? Or, telling it like it is? 🙂
Or, as Enchanted put it yesterday……NO SUGAR COATING HERE!!!!!
I guess Kuo and Belisario were a little game rusty tonight.
and the offense ran out of gas.
But 5 runs could still win a lot of ballgames.

TBW ~ Manny's calf muscle tightend up again.
Warp or not to warp?
Well, now I'm in the warp. Cool. I have 2 suggestions:
We start counting down to the 1 hour mark. We seem to be 6 minutes and counting.
We start figuring out a new name for our bullpen. I'll start with something unimaginitive like The Arson Squad.
Thank you TB4. I guess I didn't miss much tonight. I still feel we can turn it around. Maybe Joe and I can change their luck when they come to NY.
I hope you do bring them some good luck, TBW 🙂
Incendiary Idiots?
The Lead Losers?
I'm sure you will have a lot of suggestions for our bullpen, Dodgereric. I'll bet Jhall, Enchanted and Messagebear will have some doozies!
Our Hittable Heroes?
Boy Dodgereric!!! You did get shot waaaaaay up there!!! To warp or not to warp…………………it's a way of life on ITD nowadays. Another fabulous post by the way!!
Nothing like having the offense we have been dreaming of only to have pitching that is a nightmare. We deserve better!!!
Oh, I am sure enchanted and Messagebear will have some colorful names for our bullpen.
Kuo just got off the DL doesn't mean you have to used him just look at Fuentes.
I agree Shad. Bellsario is a little different. He wasn't brought in off the DL…………..Kuo was. Good point 🙂
Congratulation on your 1st homerun in a Dodgers uniform Anderson.
Implosions R Us?
The obvious first answer is to fire Bunnynutt's asss. He may not be throwing the pitches, but the problem's getting worse, not better, and you've got to start somewhere. He's definitely not helping anyone, and obviously has no clue HOW to help anyone or he'd be doing it.
Why don't we just call the whole damn pitching staff the Bunnynutts Brigade?
Damn good, Nellyjune!
Oh, Josh, I am so sorry I missed you. That was really sweet of you to remember – and on the home opener! Maybe I forgot to mention it on ITD, but I ended up not going to the home opener because of a job! Okay, okay, it's a temp job working for the Census, but it's a job nonetheless and I couldn't turn it down. Hey, temporary is better than nothing at all! You said you stopped by the Reserved Level, huh? My mom's seats are in Aisle 1, Row M. If you go down the Aisle 1/Aisle 3 steps, my mom's seats are on the right. My son took my mom to that game in my stead. I am not 100% sure what game I'll be at next, but believe me, once I find out, I'll put a post on ITD to let you know. I STILL would love to have my mom meet you!
Oh, and if you have a tough time remembering what I look like, you can take a gander at that Joe Pierre video from last year's ITD tour! I'm the one that was standing right in front of Joe when he made his "Where does Vin Scully sit" comment! 🙂
Bunnynuts Brigade…LMAO!!!!
Great Balls of Fire…
Bunnynutts Brigade!!!! LOL!!!! Very good enchanted :)))
Hey CP!!! How ya doing?
I have to agree with jhall. Frank knows he has L.A. by the bunnynutts because they'll come to see anything he trots out there no matter the cost. Until that stops and people quit buying concessions and merchandise too, Frank will just keep laughing all the way to the bank while he's telling anyone that'll listen that he'll do everything possible to bring a championship to the deserving fans of L.A. Only way this fool will ever give up the team is if he can make more money off of selling it than keeping it. And the only way that's going to happen is if he starts losing BIG money. Not that on the way down he won't let payroll dwindle down to $30-40 million a year and sell off all the boys, that he will.
My Nellygirl!
Thank you AND TO EVERYONE THAT RESPONDED to Josh! I was flabbergasted by his comment that he stopped by my mom's seats! I was just tickled pink, no Dodger blue for that matter when I read Josh's message to me up top! Josh, you had me grinning ear to ear! 🙂
So how are you? How's the family? The Academy? You know, my usual questions!
And I have to say that considering its been a few days and a few threads ago that the issue of security at the stadium was brought up, and has been continually brought up in the subsequent threads through today's, the silence its being met with speaks volumes.
And Messagebear, no, I wouldn't miss Honeycutt if he wasn't around…
I find it very disturbing that there was no response to the security issue, Enchanted.
Great to see you again, CP!
Hey Trumom! Great to see you too! 🙂 So how are things going with you?
All is well here CP!!! You know Dodger4life got a job with the Census too.
enchanted – I remember back when I first started reading ITD, and you, jungar, jhall, etc. were hoping they wouldn't trade off the young talent before they came into their prime, and that if they just have patience, we would be set. Well, the young talent is at it's prime on the offensive side, but what could have possibly gone wrong with all the pitching? One would think you have to start looking at who is coaching these kids once they get up here.
I'm good, CP. Nothing too exciting but waiting for warmer, sunnier days.
Oh, and I know I'm REALLY late on this, but it is very unsettling to come to Dodger Stadium and witness so much belligerent behavior from so called Dodger fans and fans from opposing teams. It makes me feel bad as a Dodger fan that certain individuals give all Dodger fans a bad name and reputation. Now I know many opposing fans don't think it's all Dodger fans that behave this way, but I still feel bad for them. I've said it before as has many ITDers. I've worn my Dodger jersey to other stadiums and never have I received treatment the way opposing fans do at Dodger Stadium. Maybe the usual and GOOD NATURE ribbing that takes place, but nothing that I would consider a "threat" or "hostile." Not in the least.
But I have a hard time believing that Dodgers' upper management isn't doing nothing about it. I just think that if Josh or Frank or anyone else doesn't say anything that perhaps it's a serious issue and one that is not easily communicated to a few Dodger fans (relatively speaking of course). It's an issue that I am quite sure that they don't take lightly.
Nelly – I'm glad to hear that all is going well with you! And no, I didn't know that D4 got a job with the Census too? D4, what are you doing? Are you out in the field or in the office?
Trumom – I'm waiting for sunnier days too. I know you Nor Cal folks are getting slammed a lot more than us So Cal folks are by these Spring storms, but the sun will come out for good soon! At least I hope so!
Getting back to our Boys in Blue, I just hope the pitching turns around with the return of Belasario and Kuo. I like what I saw the short time that Link pitched the other day; I wouldn't mind seeing him more!
Well, I'm getting tired, so I'm going to sign off. Again, thanks to everyone for their comments to Josh on my behalf. I'll be reading but hopefully I'll post more on the weekend. Catch up with y'all later…
CP – This came about because I was listening to Giants fans calling in and commenting on our fans right after the games over the weekend (just like Dodger fans do with the guys on KABC), and they didn't have very nice things to say about our fans…………………rude, taunting, and spilling beer on them (including kids).
Where Collie comes from in all this is his background is in security and he takes it very seriously. I think Collie's idea of a three strikes approach is great, and it might just help in enchanted's cause as well. Kill two birds with one stone…………………..stop the drunken idiots from coming altogether eventually, which slows down the ticket and beer sales perhaps long enough so Frank sells the team.
Kings lost last night Dodgers and Lakers lost tonight geez way to ruining my last 2 night.
ohhhh, but the Sharks are winnng 5-0, and the A's beat the Yankees today. Not all is lost up in Nor-Cal. However, I support the Kings too (both the Sacramento and the LA kind). With the Lakers, it depends on who they are playing.
Good Night CP!!! Take care!!!
I have to admit I was rooting for the Sharks all those year only because the Kings didn't make the playoff for 8 yrs.
I guess any team who beat the Yankees would be a good day lol
Amen to that Shad!!! The A's have pitching…………..they will probably give it all away, but for now, they have pitching. What gives? It's the Oakland A's for heaven sakes.
Poor Sam Bradford going to the Rams but what Al Davis didn't pick a speeder WR?
I had Mariners if they can get Lee and Bedard back, Angels, Rangers and A's in that order.
Tim Tebow drafted by the Broncos.
I am sure there are a few people happy about that 🙂
Coming back from the gym just now I remembered something that I wanted to say earlier this evening. I'm really getting sick of Steve Lyons. In the first place, he seems to be his own biggest fan. I know his job is to fill in the gaps in the broadcast, you know, the ones that Vinny doesn't need to be filled? But lately I've been noticing something and it's really starting to bug me.
In the first game of this series, Kemp tied the game with a dramatic 3-run HR to cap a 4-run deficit in the top of the 8th. Troncoso came on and got the first hitter. Then he walked Jay Bruce, hitting .188. He got the second out and then walked Ramon Hernandez, hitting .200. Then he gave up a single to score Bruce (walked, hitting .188) to break the tie. Then Hernandez scored an insurance run (walked, hitting .200) in that 3rd-grade rundown when DeWitt forgot to look at third and Belliard dropped the ball. Lyons kept harping on DeWitt's mental mistake and the director kept showing DeWitt on the screen. Not much of a mention at all of Troncoso's horrid pitching.
Then tonight, after Garrett Anderson's dramatic, lead-changing 2-run HR in the top of the 7th was wasted by the heaven-sent combo of Kuo and Belisario and their 4-hit, 4-run, 2-walk bottom of the 7th inning, all Lyons could talk about was Kemp's attempted catch in the left-center gap that would have made ESPN's Top 10 Plays of the Day had he made it.
Fire Lyons
Fire the guy who hired Lyons
Fire Joe
Fire the guy who hired Joe
Fire Ned
Fire Mannion
Fire the guy who hired Ned and Mannion
Fire the guy who allowed the guy who hired Ned and Mannion to buy the Dodgers with a credit card
Rick and Charlie laid plenty of blame on the pitching tonight. They did bring up the errors, but it was more about how it just compounded the issue of bad pitching, especially the error made by Padilla himself. Boy, Rick pretty much let Padilla have it after he served up that first homerun. He flat out said, that was a bad pitch from the moment it left his hand.
The Briquettes.
The Kingsford Kids. Or Kingsford Corral and Frank could get some extra cash from the Kingsford company.
Bully By Bic. Or The Bic Bully. Frank could get some extra cash for that from the Bic lighter company.
CP nice to see all is well and that you have a job even though it's temporary.
A bummer to see the bullpen and defense let us down again. But that is a sentence that will probably be repeated many times this year.
I was at work so I missed most of the conversation today. But Matt does seem to be a little off this year so far.I think he just needs to get a little more practice and he'll be okay.
One issue that I've noticed the last few days is dealing with bunts on the defensive side. I can only think that maybe the trip to Asia might have something to do with some of the prep work (Mainly fielding) because the team looks very sloppy and like they are still in Spring Training. I think defensively Spring Training is very important to get timing down with your teammates on the field for making plays. It seemed as if there were so many split squad games this year that it might be trickling down to the season. I hope they look at that.
As far as the security issue at the stadium, I'm hoping that they are working on cracking down now that the 1st homestand is over and they see that junk is still going on. It hasn't been mentioned on here by Josh & I'm okay with that. I will continue to bring it up each day however. I think it's that important.
Frank has 2 choices… #1 If you build it they will come.
Or #2 If you pour it they will fight!!
Now of course I'm joking but I was thinking about the trade off that should be looked at and thought of the above.
Yes kicking the hooligans out that are getting drunk and starting problems will cut down on beer sales initially. But then in time many more families will start coming to the games and bringing with them their kids. These families will buy merchandise for their kids and they will learn to love baseball & when they are adults they will bring their kids and so on and that is the fan base you will have.
Or you can have the beer drinking hooligans going to the games buying beer & getting drunk while bringing their kids who grow up to do the same because they see this is how baseball is enjoyed. Then that is the fan base you will have.
So I have to ask… Frank what is the fan base you want?
Or you can have both by cracking down on the issue by letting it be known that if they don't act properly they will be tossed out, then trespassed, and then arrested if they don't learn the proper way to act in the stadium.
I just really have a passion for this as I think it's so important and I don't feel the proper steps are being taken.
I hope that the silence is just that a new game plan (A real zero tolerance) in dealing with this issue is being put in place and when completed will then be announced/addressed.
Signs should be hung at the entrances stating the policy, as well as during pregame it should be put on the scoreboard as well as an announcement made over the loudspeakers between the 1st & second inning.
Then stick to it. If someone is a problem… gone! My 3 strikes was just a suggestion and a way to weed out the hooligans that continue to be a problem and yet will draw the line with some so they realize what proper social etiquette is and so they can learn the proper way to act. They have a couple of chances until they are then told no more.
Sort of like when I was little and my mom would count to 3. I learned that if she got to 3 I was toast.
Anyway I really hope the issue gets eliminated. I remember the Disney commercials saying it's "The Happiest Place On Earth". Wouldn't that be great if the Dodgers could lay claim to the same?!
Take the challenge Frank. Step up to the plate…
Eric & the others that agree — Thanks for standing by my side.
I appreciate it.
The pitchers mound could be called the "Chili's Ring Of Fire"?
The photo from the link could be rounded out for the mound with the chili painted across the front grass.
Or how about this…
The Doritos Dodgers 2nd Degree Burn Fiery Buffalo Bullpen.
If the bully gives up less than 4 runs a game everybody gets a snack bag of the chips!!
OK … I go now…
Right on cue. The official get rid of Todd Wellemeyer thread
Ok last one… I promise…
The bullpen could be called the Kilauea Corral. McCourt could work with the tourism of Hawaii for this one.
Each 7th inning if the opposing team hits a home run off a relief pitcher into the Dodgers bullpen a certain person sitting in a seat at the game gets a paid trip to Hawaii with a helicopter tour of the Kilauea volcano!
Now that would get me to the stadium!!!!
I was about about to post something but I guess I don't need to but hope Russ Oritz signed with the Giants since they got the Todd Wellemeyer thread.
Thanks god is wasn't the fat cow.
The Yankees had gone 6,632 consecutive regular-season games without a triple play. Their last one came on June 3, 1968, with first baseman Mickey Mantle catching the final out on a ball hit by Minnesota?s John Roseboro.
Wow it been that long.
I'm really getting tired of the lousy defense that this team is playing. I understand that our pitching is struggling but the errors don't help. Kemp is not looking like the gold glover of last year in the outfield. The balls him deep near the warning track are been misjudge, he can't catch them. I have seen these plays over and over this season. He has caused us a few games this year. And Blake Dewitt, is another one that has cause us a few gamess
Jeez, all Kemp is doing is hitting .333, leading the league with 7HRs, tied for the lead in RBIs with 20, #3 in Slugging % @ .730 and #5 in OPS @ 1.136 (right behind #3 Andre and #4 Ramirez. He's only made 1 of our league-leading 17 errors, and although I'll agree that he hasn't looked like the Gold Glover so far this year, and I'll admit that I haven't watched every inning of every game. But the ones that he hasn't caught that I've seen, as I wrote earlier, would have made ESPN's Top 10 Plays of the Day had he made them.
I think you can cut Kemp a little slack. He is not the reason we're below .500. The reason for that resides in the circle in the middle of the infield, and the reason for THAT is in our front office.
I think the reason we are below 500 is….

Good one!
I think I have it figured out. Remember my theory that Torre sent Padilla in as the opening day starter to embarrass McCourt? I presented it as folly, but now I'm not too sure it is. Honeycutt is Torre's bud, right? Here's how the conversations go when he's on the phone during a game:
Honeycutt: "OK, what have you got for me? It looks like Billingsley isn't going to make it too much longer."
Bullpen coach: "Well, Troncoso stayed out last night and is nursing a hangover. Sherrill's arm is hanging by a thread. Monestarios can't hit the broad side of a barn today. Broxton's good. Kuo and Belisario can hit the broad side of that barn, but they'll have to go inside the barn and shut the door. They're way too rusty but they're willing. And Ortiz is, well, Ortiz."
Honeycutt: "Get Monestarios up, it sounds like he's my guy. But have Troncoso stick his finger down his throat. He's next and I don't want him throwing up on the mound out there. Then it's Ortiz. I don't want Broxton unless we still have a lead in the ninth, and you know the chances of that."
Poor Brox….he will be lucky if he gets 5 saves 🙂

Good idea Dodgereric to come up with the names :))
Dodger Fans vote often and as much as you particularly KEMP, ETHIER, RAMIREZ, FURCAL, MARTIN, and even a BLAKE showing will be nice. Anyways I have a question…so the online voting allows you to vote 25 times for an email account. So I have been voting 25 time on 1 email and on another 25 times on my other email. And then I vote again using the first email and then vote again on ther second email and then the first and second and so on…you get the point! So yesterday i voted around 300 times! What do you guys think about this scheme! If it works then I will persuade and advertise this method throuhg dodgertalk. I will continue this for the next 60 something days and If I alone vote around 300 times daily for the next 60 days, thats aroubnd 20,000 votes. So imagine if theyre are 100 dedicated fans that do the same thing, we can easily generate 2 million votes!
We don't have a Bull-Pen, we have a freaking Sheep-Pen!!! Waiting to be sheared!!!!!
LOL!!!!!!! That is very good jhall!!!!
LOL, Jhall!
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Thanks Nelly. How ya doin' my friend?
Hi'Ya Trumom, how are you my friend?
I'm good, Jhall. BAAAAAA is right!!!!! Right now it's more like BOOOOOOOOO!
LOL Trumom!!! The Baaaaaaaaaaaa's turn into Booooooo's rapidly!!! Darn shame, we have one of the best offenses in baseball, and now we can't pitch or field. Thanks Frank, Jamie, and Ned!!!
I'm not really down on JoJo, he can only play the hand he is dealt. Ned also to some extent. In times like these, we need a GM that didn't ride the short yellow GM bus!!!!
I am doing good Jhall!!! Sooooo glad it is Friday!!! How are you?
Good Nelly!! Very disappointed by our pitching and defense thus far. If something doesn't change, I'm not very optimistic that we will make the playoffs. I have little hope we can make the playoffs or a championship run with our current pitching staff. Thanks!!!
Wally — Hello there.
I hope you enjoy this…

Jaso likely to move to 15-day DL due to concussion
CINCINNATI -- Still experiencing concussion symptoms, A's catcher John Jaso remained in the Bay Area on Tuesday while his teammates opened a six-game road trip in Cincinnati, and there are no plans for him to rejoin them.
"Not yet," manager Bob Melvin said.
It's been 12 days since Jaso was placed on the seven-day concussion disabled list, which likely means he'll be transferred to the 15-day DL this week.
This is the third concussion of Jaso's career, though the backstop has said many times that he never before experienced such lasting symptoms until now, which includes buzzing in his ear each time he wakes.
"He continues to improve as far as how he feels after riding the bike and all," Melvin said, "but still until we actually get him into baseball activities, there's really no way of knowing how to forecast his schedule."
Jaso had a .415 on-base percentage in the 16 games before he was sidelined, production that has since been missing at catcher, where replacement Stephen Vogt has hit .188 with a .229 on-base percentage in 11 games spanning two stints with the A's this year.

Poll: Is it Pizza?
Pizza vox populi.
Is co-opting pizza's good name okay? Yesterday's dessert pizza post got us musing about the meaning of pizza. We know better than to dive headfirst down the pizza-definition-hole with reckless abandon. But there's nothing wrong with a friendly round of "one of these is not like the other." Or, in this case, "are any of these self-proclaimed pizza products at all like pizza?"
Where do you draw the line? Give a vote to each product or category that you think uses the term "pizza" legitimately.
Did we forget any pizza-ish products that deserve to join the ranks? Let us know and we'll add them to the poll!

Pinterest has been a
Today, I woke up with my creative juices flowing. We skipped "real" church since Cole had drill and Ava is getting over an ear infection. After listening to our "home church" podcast (Alistair Begg, for anyone interested), Ava and I went to a few shops right as they opened (Hancocks, Lowes, and Michael's) and got our supplies for the three projects I had on my list to accomplish today.
I didn't take the time to do the how to pictures, but here are some before and after's of what I did today!
|Before. It has always bothered me that the alarm pad, garage door opener, and light switches were all clustered together, and left no room to center a picture.
|Before. Ava kept playing with these in her highchair, and the knots were always coming loose.
|Before. Another angle. I liked that they let light in, but they never felt really finished to me.
|After. 15 dollars worth of remnant fabric and a couple of pine 1x1.5s later.
|The fabric was a steal at $15. It was originally like 37/yard, and I got it for 5/yard!
|I think I like it. I am going to have to live with it a while. I *really* like it when the blinds are pulled up!
|After. Sorry I didn't take a before. And I can't really believe I am showing you my messy under the sink after. But I put peel and stick tiles (6 at $.38/ea) under there and it is awesome!!!
The dining room project is about to get underway! Stay tuned the next few months for updates!!!

I propose that there should be a Security Tab in Preferences where an administrator can access and configure all the various default security / permissions in the program.
An addition I would like to see a "Paranoia" option which would restrict access to reports, all exports, dashboards and printing, and also disable remote databases on the next sync. Let's give the people the opportunity to lock it down if they want to.
I agree.... Is anyone considering making this possible??

Coaldale earthquake felt in Gardnerville
A 5.1 magnitude earthquake just west of Coaldale in central Nevada on Tuesday afternoon was reportedly felt in Gardnerville and Carson City.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey's "Did You Feel It?" web site, one Gardnerville resident and six Carson City residents reported experiencing the earthquake.
The largest number of responses were on the other side of the Sierra in Sacramento where 87 people claimed to have felt the quake, followed by the much nearer Bishop, where 47 people reported feeling the earthquake.
Silver Peak, which is 25 miles from the center of the earthquake, showed seven responses, as did Goldfield, which is nearly twice as far. Tonopah had eight people post to the Web site.
The 4:10 p.m. earthquake set off a swarm of 14 others, including two greater than magnitude 3. The swarm is centered west of the intersection of highways 95 and 6.

| So last of us was a bit of a painful thing at times. it has some enjoyable moments but also i feel some of these moments could have been better.
I think that some of the choices of zombie apocalypse for instance i've seen done before, and i think walking dead has more interesting characters. Troy baker does a good job with Joel and ellie Ashley Johnson. Actually i wanted to
Possible spoilers: highlight to view
save sam and henry
The gameplay i think could have been done way better as the choices have little impact. crafting health kits is kinda neat but there is very litte impact deciding to go and make for instance molotov coctails over nail bombs. If you try to play only stealth you are punished as you are forced into some areas where gunfights are inevitable and you really aren't given enough tools. The gunplay for that matter could also be done better as i feel there is very little impact in choosing one gun for that playstyle over the other nor do you have enough ammo, and i feel there is very little reason so far to replay it.
Story: Since i do think its decent il give it a 7 out of 10 as it is pretty good. I cared about henry i cared most about ellie and Joel.
Gameplay:Since i think its pretty flawed and doesn't offer much interactivity, il give it a 5 out of 10, which is about average.

Quote (Stiltzkin @ 11th October 2019 07:58)
I think not having enough ammo is entirely the point...
Thing is the game wasn't really scary I will admit I am influenced somewhat by a reviewer I saw and even though I beat the game before I saw the review I think ultimately it might have some influence and at the same time, I agree on some stuff like:
Most of the game spent time killing humans. There was less time spent avoiding the zombie plant monsters from that fungi, there were very few types of actual zombies.
I also want to add: Sorry for bumping this topic with late entry, I remembered some stuff just today while I was doing some chores and thinking of what stiltzkin said.
I think the best parts for instance some like the university part where you got the creepy basement and enemy sound all around and I think the part where you are with a group
Possible spoilers: highlight to view
A little girl a little boy you and a woman and you get stuck with the boy and the lady get stuck with the girl
That area is creepy in the sewers and kinda the most interesting part. I think they could have done a better job with the handling of areas better as we faced mostly humans.
The characters I think worked.
Do you know bill? even though I thought he was harsh, I somehow can come to agreeing with him on some level somehow. While I was doing chores, I kept thinking how in a post-apocalyptic world, I bet most people would be apprehensive to strangers coming in, because of the raiders and looters, so those who survive the most will likely have their hands on the trigger of their guns and their eyes on the outsider nearby. I kinda got from it that they knew each other but they weren't close.

Mathematics is a discipline with ancient origins in early Greek thought, and has been the indispensable language and tool of science. In our major program and in our service to other departments, the mathematics department at Covenant College seeks to provide solid grounding in the discipline of mathematics as well as providing a greater appreciation for logic and precise language. In our major program we seek to prepare students for graduate school, technical jobs or for teaching in secondary school. In our service programs we aim to prepare pre-engineering students for the dual degree program and to prepare students majoring in other disciplines which require mathematics. We also hope to impart
- an appreciation for the wisdom of God as it is manifested in the logic and orderliness of His creation,
- an appreciation for the goodness of God in both structuring much of creation to be amenable to mathematical description and in structuring our thought processes to be able to understand the mathematics that describes the creation,
- an appreciation of absolute truth in the limited context of a mathematical system and at the limited understanding of fallen man.

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
There's not much to be said other than this is probably not a good idea.
BUY A REVIEW "Click it for a really bad idea."
If there was a "super dumb" category available for 2012, they would currently be in first place. I think that ALL review aggregators/platforms can agree on this one!
This article was not posted in an effort to sell you something.
Views: 488
I've never researched any of these groups but everything I read just continues to validate my viewpoint that dealers should stick to giving great customer service and ask their customers to give a review. BTW, I don't stick strictly to review sites, I include Facebook. You won't get stars there, but you'll get great word-of-mouth.
Great topic and post, btw, Scott! Thanks!
Nasty business, these "black hat" reviews (purchased, in this case). The FTC has weighed in on "reviews for hire" before with fine$.
So, I did this "data aggregation" experiment the other day to see if I could rebuild someone's actual name, address, etc. from just an email they rarely used. I got so far that I darn near achieved DNA (it was a forum stalker, so I was motivated). Turns out a review site (unnamed, but not Google) was one of of several key data points in that success.
Sooooo, I turned that experience back to that business review site I stumbled on, just to see if I could track down how a business I happened to notice there (not a dealership) was getting perfect reviews all the time from DIFFERENT emails. So I backtracked a couple of them as I could.
It's possible to see a pattern, even with "multiple" emails.
Agreed that there should be "some sort of system for Google" (on a personal level)...would be nice, but the reality is it's their game, not ours and we, as customers, consumers, retailers, whatever can choose to use or not. Same goes for Yelp, etc. I fully believe there will NEVER be a perfect review platform as there will be critics on all sides.
but doesn't this scenario demonstrate Google's unwillingness/inability at this point to preserve the integrity of their review platform?
Quite possibly it does...
You make the statement (sort of) that if we take IPitCrew at their face value, and their intentions were good, and they are not a buy a review type service, but just being good guys who really did have an opinion about their dealers, and wanted to share it, and had this idea on Jan 24 and just got them all out of the way, you still feel like it is a problem and I would ask that other than appearance, what harm was occurring? And I mean appearance to veterans like you and to me and others in the forum. I doubt the average user sees it the same way. Some will, for sure, but I don't know the real number. Maybe Google thinks like this too. I really don't know the answer and I am not really disagreeing with you, and I think it was not a prudent idea for IPit Crew to do this, just playing devil's advo not taking a stand, but it does showcase the quandary of systems that require judges and juries. Google would have to play that and to satisfy you and me they would have to not allow what IPitCrew did, but to satisfy the 10 dealers who know IPit Crew did not lie, they would have to leave them up. Our "system" of laws has existed for hundreds of years being refined all of the time using judges and juries and we see how well that works. I guess I am saying that I am not personally smart enough to orchestrate this environment of perfection and it will be interesting to see who is. My money is on no one and so we are left with the models we see and have to decide for ourselves, as users.
On the subject of True Car"ing", I like where the industry is headed with regards to calling out vendors who need it. It should be done professionally and offer the option for a vendor to share their side and then the chips fall where they may. We are in a new era of transparency that vendors, whether they like it or not, have to get used to if they want dealer funds.
Thanks for your contributions Ryan...always enjoy hearing them (even if they are on the
"dark side" of the force sometimes...we do agree today :))
Well done IPitCrew on your statement of intent.
I really didn't intend to TrueCar anybody, but I think the proper term by the way, is "Thibeau-ing." ;)
I do know that one of the dealers reviewed is actively gaming their Google reviews and there are so many "buy-a-review" derivatives out there I incorrectly assumed that iPitCrew was just another cog in that system, my apologies. Reviews should be submitted for a business by their customers though, not submitted by you for your customers. Of course you guys like them, they hired you ;)
iPitCrew, I too appreciate how quickly you acted to remove the content. I'll take you at your word that it was nothing more than a "Thank You," but doesn't this scenario demonstrate Google's unwillingness/inability at this point to preserve the integrity of their review platform? 10 similar business from 6 states reviewed in the span of a couple hours from a single IP? How did that pass a filter? I think you are going to see major changes coming down the pipe that affect the way some stores are collecting reviews as Google simply can't stay credible in this arena with no effort to monitor content.
On the "TrueCar-ing" issue, that ONLY happens when a vendor refuses to change or worse, tries to defend a bad policy or procedure. This is a link to another forum where that exact thing is documented and kudos again to iPitCrew for their swift action.
Thomas, you're funny. But I believe you're right!
Is this the first example of social media changing a proper nown to a verb...Ryan, did you just "TrueCar" someone?
By the way, actions taken by iPitCrew are admirable.
Ryan in addition to our response below to your original post. We also deleted our positive comments on Google regarding our clients. Although we definitely feel they deserve recognition for their efforts to improve the consumer purchase experience, I am sure we can come up with a more acceptable form of recognition to show our admiration and respect. Once again thank you for voicing your concerns...
Thanks so much for your comments! We respect your opinion and absolutely agree with your position. To be honest we never really thought much about the perception that might be created from posting multiple reviews in a single day. Now that you have brought this to our attention, we are going to review our policy and adjust to industry best practices. Just to be clear we had no " ill intent" in mind iPitCrew is not a rating and review posting service. We are a full service Digital Marketing and Advertising Agency, and each of the comments posted were in regard to Dealers, who actually do business with us, and that we feel are on the right track in regard to providing exceptional world-class consumer experiences. We thought it appropriate to give them a nod of approval.
Again, I hope you and the community will accept our sincerest most humble apologies for not considering the perception of the action in its entirety. Thanks again for your input on this matter, it was a welcome lesson. There is always room for learning and improvement!
David Pritchard
Found another one today that has to be among the most egregious of offenders. Google, C'mon? This is making you look bad too!
iPitCrew's place page- where Username "IpitCrew" has written a review for...you guessed it, iPitCrew... If you click on iPitCrew's name you'll see that they also wrote a review for 10 dealers from 6 STATES all in a 24 hour period. Nothing says "trust me" like fake reviews...

Vitis vinifera MBF1 Family
Tsuda et al. 2004: Multiprotein bridging factor 1 (MBF1) is known to be a transcriptional co-activator that mediates transcriptional activation by bridging between an activator and a TATA-box binding protein (TBP). We demonstrated that expression of every three MBF1 from Arabidopsis partially rescues the yeast mbf1 mutant phenotype, indicating that all of them function as co-activators for GCN4-dependent transcriptional activation. We also report that each of their subtypes shows distinct tissue-specific expression patterns and responses to phytohormones. These observations suggest that even though they share a similar biochemical function, each MBF1 has distinct roles in various tissues and conditions.Members of this family

How Right-Wing Media Heard Obama's Straightforward Answer To A Benghazi Question: He Was "Dodging"
Right-wing media figures are claiming that President Obama failed to answer a press conference question about whether he had issued an order to protect those under attack at the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11. But Obama did respond to the question, saying that he ordered his national security team to do whatever was necessary to keep Americans at the compound safe.
Obama Says He Ordered National Security Team To Protect Americans In Benghazi
Obama: "My Orders" Were "Do Whatever We Need To Do To Make Sure They're Safe." During a November 14 press conference, Fox News chief White House correspondent Ed Henry asked Obama to address "the families of these four Americans who were killed" in the Benghazi attack. Henry asked, "On 9/11, as Commander-in-Chief, did you issue any orders to try to protect their lives?" Obama replied, in part:
THE PRESIDENT: [A]s I've said repeatedly, if people don't think that we did everything we can to make sure that we saved the lives of folks who I sent there and who were carrying out missions on behalf of the United States, then you don't know how our Defense Department thinks or our State Department thinks or our CIA thinks. Their number-one priority is obviously to protect American lives. That's what our job is. Now --
Q (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: Ed, I will put forward every bit of information that we have. I can tell you that immediately upon finding out that our folks were in danger, that my orders to my national security team were do whatever we need to do to make sure they're safe. And that's the same order that I would give any time that I see Americans are in danger, whether they're civilian or military, because that's our number-one priority. [WhiteHouse.gov, 11/14/12, emphasis added]
Yet Right-Wing Media Falsely Claim Obama Didn't Answer Benghazi Question
Limbaugh: Obama "Won't Answer" Henry's Question. On the November 14 edition of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh played audio of Henry questioning Obama at the press conference. Limbaugh aired a truncated version of Obama's response, which did not include his words about his "orders to my national security team." Limbaugh then said, "That's a pretty simple question. ... And [Obama] won't answer it. How easy would it be to say yes?" [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 11/14/12]
Fox's Doocy Claimed "Some On The Right Would Say" Obama Didn't Answer Henry's Question -- And Then Aired Obama's Response. On the November 15 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy said of Obama's press conference: "Ed Henry, I think, pound for pound asked the best question of the day regarding Benghazi. And the president, of course -- some on the right would say, did not answer. He deflected."
The following on-screen text was aired later in the segment:
Immediately after Doocy's comments, video showing Henry's question and Obama's response aired. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 11/15/12]
Fox's Jarrett Claimed Obama "Refused To Say If He Issued An Immediate Order To Help Those Under Attack," But Later Read Obama's Answer Aloud. During an interview with Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA) on the November 15 edition of Fox's America's Newsroom, guest host Gregg Jarrett claimed that Obama "offered almost no information yesterday in the news conference on Benghazi" and that he "refused to say if he issued an immediate order to help those under attack." Yet Jarrett later read Obama's response to Henry's question: "I'll quote the president. This is about the only thing he did say of substance. 'My orders were to do whatever we need to do to make sure they're safe.' " [Fox News, America's Newsroom, 11/15/12]

Former Vietnam refugee Hieu Van Le, who arrived in Darwin on a boat in 1977, is to become South Australia's first Asian migrant governor.
When Hieu Van Le arrived in Darwin on a boat from war-torn Vietnam, it was beyond his wildest dreams that he would become the governor of South Australia 36 years later.
The 60-year-old, who's married to fellow boat traveller Lan and whose sons are named after cricketers, is to replace Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce in September.
"As a young `boat people' refugee, I arrived here 36 years ago with nothing but an invisible suitcase filled with dreams," he told reporters on Thursday.
"A dream to live in a peaceful, safe and free country and to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.
"But to be bestowed with the greatest honour and the privilege of holding the Vice-Regal office is absolutely beyond my wildest dream.
"This appointment, however, says much more about our society than about me - it sends a powerful message affirming our inclusive and egalitarian society."
Premier Jay Weatherill said Mr Le was the first Asian migrant to become governor and, when he became lieutenant governor in 2007, was thought to be the first Vietnamese-born person in the world to be appointed to a Vice Regal position.
"He has already demonstrated an outstanding level of service to the community and I have no doubt that he will serve the role with great distinction."
When asked about the present refugee situation in Australia, Mr Le said his new position made it inappropriate for him to comment on anything that could be interpreted as political interference.
But he did reveal he was a big fan of the Queen.
"I think she is a very inspiring and admirable leader, who carries out her duties with great grace and compassion."
Mr Le retired from accounting in 2009 and was made an Officer of the Order of Australia in 2010.
Professor Brenda Wilson, chief executive of the Cancer Council of South Australia, will succeed Mr Le as lieutenant governor.
Mr Weatherill said Rear Admiral Scarce and his wife had been outstanding advocates for SA and tirelessly supported many organisations particularly those involving young people and the Aboriginal community.

Yanks fight through injuries to stay afloat in AL East
With nearly half of expected lineup sidelined, quality pitching keeps club alive
NEW YORK -- If you were to boil down the Yankees' first half into a single game, their 92nd of the year might be a good place to start. That was the afternoon that Derek Jeter celebrated his return to the Bronx, only to limp away with a new leg injury after just four at-bats.
It has been that kind of year for the Yankees, where their captain could have an RBI and an MRI in the same day. They've kept the lights on for their injured cavalry, only to lose them again in the cases of Jeter, Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson and Kevin Youkilis.
Still, the Yankees did win that game, something they've managed to do more often than not. Considering their challenges, the Yanks could not be all that upset about how they reached the All-Star break. New York sits seven games above .500 at 51-44, six games behind the division-leading Red Sox.
"I think our guys have done probably about as well as we can do," manager Joe Girardi said. "There's some games that I thought we had a chance to win, a hit here or a hit there, we might have won some games. I'm very appreciative of what they've given us and we'll continue to try to press on."
The Yanks' pitching has been their best asset through the first half, compiling a 3.74 staff ERA, ninth best in the Majors. You can make a case that Hiroki Kuroda was an All-Star snub; Kuroda's 2.65 ERA was the lowest in the American League for anyone not named Felix Hernandez, and his 8-6 record would have looked more appealing with better run support.
CC Sabathia turned in an uncharacteristic 9-8 record and 4.07 ERA, serving up a team-leading 21 homers and saying that his first half had been "terrible," but Sabathia's strong second-half track record suggests better days ahead. Andy Pettitte, Phil Hughes, David Phelps and Ivan Nova have each had their respective ups and downs in the rotation.
The Yankees have needed to lean on that pitching because of an offense that hit the break ranking 20th in the Majors with 373 runs scored. General manager Brian Cashman knew entering the season that the Yanks were downgrading their offense, but no one could have guessed how significant the drop would be.
First-half awards
|MVP: Robinson Cano The Yankees needed Cano to step up as a leader both on the field and in the clubhouse. Despite a lack of protection, his .302 average, 21 homers and 65 RBIs all lead the team.
|Cy Young: Hiroki Kuroda All you need to know is this: after Kuroda's last start of the first half, Mariano Rivera said, "That man is a machine. I'm glad I'm on his team."
|Rookie: Preston Claiborne Overlooked this spring, the right-hander has compiled a 2.43 ERA in his first 25 appearances, striking out 24 batters in 29 2/3 innings and issuing just five walks.
|Top reliever: Mariano Rivera A 1.83 ERA and he has now reached the 30-saves plateau for the 15th time in his career, another all-time record. Is it too late to talk him out of this retirement idea?.
"I'm proud of this team," Sabathia said. "No matter what, we've dealt with a lot of adversity, and to still be right there in the middle of this thing I think is an accomplishment in itself. We look forward to getting the guys back and hopefully looking to take off in the second half."
Early injuries to Teixeira and Granderson had the Yankees scrambling, and Cashman scoured the equivalent of baseball's scrap heap to field an Opening Day lineup. The Yanks took on Vernon Wells' unattractive contract from the Angels and picked up Lyle Overbay as a free agent, quite literally hours after he'd been discarded by the Red Sox.
Both played big roles in a surprising 30-18 start, while new designated hitter Travis Hafner -- the newest of Cashman's "big hairy monsters" -- had a strong first month before falling off. Wells said he gave the first half "a passing grade."
"I think we've achieved a little more than outsiders would have thought," Wells said. "I think we still could have positioned ourselves a little better. I think this has been a season that's been very unique when it comes to this uniform, the amount of injuries we've had, and the guys that have been in and out."
At times, the Yankees centered a lineup around Robinson Cano that looked more appropriate for Spring Training road trips, but Brett Gardner, Ichiro Suzuki and rookie Zoilo Almonte delivered big hits in the first half to diminished some of the urgency of patching the roster.
Players to watch in second half
|Derek Jeter The captain sums up his mission as to "get on base, score runs and try to help us win." Same as always. The Yankees have missed his presence and leadership greatly.
|Alex Rodriguez A-Rod could be activated on July 22 at Texas. What can the Yanks expect from him coming off hip surgery, and will he seem distracted by the Biogenesis investigation?
|Curtis Granderson The Yankees expect Granderson to return in August. After hitting a career-high 43 homers last year, bad luck has limited him to 28 at-bats this season.
Despite going 21-26 in their last 47 games, the Yanks figure to be buyers as the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline approaches. Cashman has shown willingness to make even marginal upgrades; they've already burned through six shortstops while still waiting for Jeter to play his first game there this year.
"We still have a lot of games against the Red Sox and the Rays and the Orioles, so we can pick up some ground as long as we don't panic and try to do too much," Overbay said. "They're bound to have some kind of hiccup, and hopefully we'll be on a roll."
One encouraging point is that the Yankees' bullpen has been capable of holding whatever leads they are given. Mariano Rivera has looked timeless in what he promises will be his final season, converting 30 saves and compiling a 1.83 ERA while he takes his famed cutter on one last tour around the league.
David Robertson (2.11 ERA) was a worthy candidate for the All-Star team and Boone Logan had some big moments in the first half. Girardi had reason to elevate Shawn Kelley and rookie Preston Claiborne past Joba Chamberlain in the bullpen's pecking order, displaying the strength of the relief crew.
It's possible that the Yankees could deal an arm to bolster an offense that ranks 24th in batting average, 24th in on-base percentage and 26th in slugging percentage. Granderson should come back in August and Alex Rodriguez's expected return may help, but it should not be a surprise if the Yanks shop for more.
This has not been a typical summer in the Bronx, but they still can move back into the driver's seat -- they'll come out of the break with 12 consecutive games against teams with records over .500, including the Red Sox, Rangers, Rays and Dodgers. It's a good opportunity to prove who this team really is.
"I think there's urgency, no matter what," Wells said. "The good thing is we have several games left against Boston, against the teams ahead of us. You control your destiny in the second half. If you play well, you give yourself a chance."

Album Rating: 3.5Didn't mention the lawsuit because to me, that shouldn't affect anyone's opinion of an album if you can help it.
I actually did expect this to be good after hearing Violence, but expecting it is one thing, hearing it is another.
Album Rating: 2.5Did not like this, but yeah I surrender is pretty good, the rest is kinda iffy but the review is nice
Very nice review im listening now, very accurate depiction of the album. Have a pos'
Album Rating: 2.5Might right a negative review on this, dont know how that will turn out
Album Rating: 3.5andcas we all know you're still 15 don't lie
Holy shit, Andcas, your 25?
Album Rating: 2.5Don't really get what's so great about this, the metalcore parts are soo bland.
Album Rating: 3.5I've always felt that ADTR does breakdowns better than most bands in this scene, simply because they understand that the notes you don't play are just as important as the ones you do. They have swing to them. They feel important.
Album Rating: 3.5That voicemail isn't particularly over the top, which actually makes it more menacing, because bands do the fake voice mail from their label thing all the time, and this being more realistic is actually creepier
Album Rating: 2.5This is why I typically don't like the whole pop metalcore scene, I see what you mean, but jeez the drums play the same blast beats constantly and the guitar parts (even though they are definetly a step up) seem simpler then they appear. I may bump this up to a 2.5 though, just because I do like some of the pop elements a bit.
Album Rating: 3.5there's no blast beats on this album wtf
Album Rating: 2.51 song has almost-blastbeats
Album Rating: 3.5oh yeah, that's what I meant to say, I didn't word that well haha. it comes off creepier because it's not him just cursing and getting mad, it's a real threat
Okay the "Fuck yeah!" at the beginning makes me cringe, but so far I dig the sound of this. Hits me in the guilty pleasure part of my brain.
Album Rating: 2.5my bad, lol I meant all the typical double bass drumming, it came out wrong, but yeah Ill push it up to a 2.5, first half is decent but idk about the 2nd half.
This is a fantastic record, and I really wasnt expecting it. Good for them!
Dude that voicemail is redic.
im feeling a strong 3 with this one

Sandra Wants 'Fluke Test' for Politicians on Women's Issues
Sandra Wants 'Fluke Test' for Politicians on Women's Issues
Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student who gained recognition in the debate over free contraceptives and religious liberty, now says that individuals running for office should pass a litmus test on women's issues as a condition of serving.
Fluke made an appearance on Capitol Hill on Tuesday at a forum titled "Opportunities and Challenges for a New Generation of Women," celebrating Women's History Month.
It came as no surprise that Fluke advocated for more women in elected office and for all candidates to confirm their support for women's issues.
"So, what I want say to women of my generation is that we need more Debbie Wasserman-Shultz's, more Sen. Gillibrand's. We need more working mothers in office," Fluke said. "We must have members of Congress who see their role as representing women's perspective and their views on important questions that are important to women's lives.
"So I want to be clear that this doesn't mean it's just any woman in the room. It has to be a woman who's focused on representing how policies will affect all of us. There should be a litmus test that they be pro-women so our votes have to include that requirement at least. And it should be a litmus test applies to male candidates as well."
Fluke's name first surfaced when she appeared before an informal gathering of Democratic House members earlier this year in support of President Obama's mandate to force health insurance companies to provide free contraceptives to all women.
During the hearing, Fluke told the lawmakers that it costs female students approximately $3,000 to have protected sex over a three-year stint in law school if her health insurance doesn't cover contraceptives.
After her testimony, radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh called Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute," sparking a war of words between conservative and liberal camps.
During her most recent appearance, Fluke also indicated her future may include a shot at public service.
"Numerous American women have actually written to me in the last few weeks saying that I should run for office, and maybe someday I will."
