With his slow medium-pace bowling and exceptional fielding, the former New Zealand allrounder reckons he could have done well in the shortest format

I had two older brothers, so the first three or four years of my life, as soon as I learned to walk, I used to just field in the backyard. They would occasionally let me have a bat and a bowl, but if I batted for too long they'd just give me a bad decision and say that I was out. So I guess that's where my fielding abilities came from.
I should have played more Test cricket. But at the end of the day your destiny is in your own hands. If I'd played more consistently and better, I think I would have got the opportunity to play more Tests.
Once, in the 1990s in Colombo, Sachin Tendulkar was playing us well on a flat wicket. He was dominating me, as he often did. Then I bowled a quicker one which slid down the leg side. He tried to turn it but got a leading edge. It came back and I just dived full stretch and took it in one hand. I actually won an award for it.
I don't think any dressing room is that different to any [other]. They are very similar. Generally the chat is the same, it's talking about cricket. People are talking about how fast a guy bowled, how much it was spinning, how big the six was, and I think that's why cricket's such a great game, because no matter where it happens in the world, to me everything is very similar.
I don't think I've batted better than the 1996 World Cup quarter-final against Australia. But there's times when I've batted under more pressure and helped win New Zealand a game. Batting in Madras in that horrendous heat and humidity was tough. It was one of the hardest things I've had to do, because then I ended up bowling ten overs on the trot as well. But unfortunately, it was to end up on being the losing side.
The world's an oyster for the cricketer now. There are just so many options. In my day you obviously had to play international cricket. I'd like to believe that's still every cricketer's dream, but now there's just so many other options.
I learned very early on in my career not to sledge too much. Purely because I found that when I sledged, it backfired. I remember doing it with Craig Spearman in a first-class game. I bowled a length ball that he left and then he practised the pull shot, and I remember saying to him, "Don't practise it, if you're good enough, play it." And then next ball he hit me out of the ground for six.
I don't remember the exact phone call. I just remember them saying you're in the team to go to Australia [in 1990].
My brothers used to call me Bugs, because I had two very big front teeth. And they thought I looked a bit like Bugs Bunny. But one day I was at a swimming pool and I slipped over and chipped my front tooth. So I had only one big tooth, so they said we can't call you Bugs, so we'll call you Lugs, because your ears are quite big.
My bowling action was accidental. If I had my time again, I think I would have tried to change it earlier.
I was told at a very early age, in under-age teams, that as selectors you get put in a situation where there may be two people with very even batting and bowling skills and they are not sure which way to go. They always go back to who's the best fielder.
I guess for us, being New Zealanders, the team we really wanted to do well against was Australia. Purely because they were our big neighbours, that was always the massive competition, not just in cricket but in all sports. It's something we've always treasured, our wins against Australia.
I would have loved to have played international T20 cricket. When it first came out I thought as a bowler, as a slow bowler, a spin bowler, you think you're probably going to get hurt quite badly. I think now T20 cricket has shown that the spinners have got a massive role to play. From that perspective, I would have had an all-round role.
Martin Crowe was such a batting technician. Just always loved to watch him, especially playing fast bowling. I was fortunate enough to play with him a lot in my career.
I don't think you can focus too much on your successes and failures or concentrate too much on them. Any cricketer is going to have more failures than successes. You're high one day and you're low the next.
"I should have played more Test cricket. But at the end of the day your destiny is in your own hands. If I'd played more consistently and better, I think I would have got the opportunity to play more Tests" | |||
Merv Hughes was quite abusive to me but he's a guy who is very friendly off the field and I got on very well with him. I remember playing a New Zealand President's game against Australia and he bowled me a couple of bouncers that I nicked over slips. He came down and said, "I don't want to get you out now, I just want to kill you."
As any growing boy you want to follow in your father's footsteps, so I always wanted to play cricket for New Zealand.
My 250th ODI was effectively the end of my international career, because I injured my shoulder and had to have three operations to put six pins to re-attach my tendon to my shoulders. It was a very emotional day. I guess in some ways I'm still dealing with it now, because at the time I thought I was always going to come back. I just thought it was a matter of patching my shoulder up - might be out for six months and then I'll be back. I guess coaching is a way of holding on to it a little bit.
I actually turned 21 over in Australia in my debut series. In those days the Australian crowds were pretty big and menacing. I remember getting a lot of abuse. But I remember it fondly. It was a wonderful experience.
I can remember three overseas trips - Sri Lanka twice and once in Pakistan - where bombs exploded in the vicinity of the team hotel. Those experiences showed me how vulnerable you can be. When your time's up, your time's up. There's nothing you can do about it. Even though I don't think we were directly targeted in any of those attacks, if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, there's no discrimination in the blast zone.
I think in some ways my bowling action gave me some of my success, because I bowled off the wrong foot. It meant I didn't have much body momentum and I didn't get a lot of pace on the ball. I guess people tended to play earlier than they should have.
No matter how good a player you are, you spend more time fielding than anything else.
I opened twice. In Wellington, India batted first and got quite a few runs. It had never been discussed before that I was opening, and then at lunchtime Ken Rutherford, who was captain at the time, came to me and said we want you to open the batting. It took me by surprise. I remember facing [Javagal] Srinath and there was a big lbw appeal early on. I remember charging down the wicket a few times and ended up getting 44. I got out caught at cover off [Anil] Kumble, but that innings gave me confidence. I then went to Christchurch and got out for a duck and never opened again.
I like to think I'm a bit of a people person. I'd like to think I'm reasonably friendly, and I'm pretty happy to talk to anyone who wants to talk to me. I'd like to think that most players I played with and against, if I saw now, I'd cross the street and say hi and we'd have a coffee together, or a beer.
If you're not bowling the only way you can be involved is obviously by fielding. I guess I took it upon myself to try and test myself all the time and say, "Look, if I'm in the circle, I'm going to make sure they don't get one to me. Or if I'm on the boundary I'm going to make sure they don't get two. Every chance that comes to me I'm going to try and grab no matter how far away it is." Because I enjoyed it, I try and encourage all cricketers to do it.
I'd always tend to put my front pad on first, and if I'd batted through to lunch or tea, I'd always want the other batsman to cross the rope first. I'd mark my crease six times. And if I tapped my bat out in the middle, I'd have to do that six times as well.
I've played in four World Cups and I think we've been pretty consistent. I guess the saddest thing is never to have won a World Cup. We had the best chance in 1992, just because we had the momentum. If we had knocked out Pakistan, going to Australia and playing in Melbourne, we'd have given ourselves a good chance of winning.
The ICL was a wonderful concept and it was a shame it didn't continue. I loved it. It was a wonderful experience, being involved with a lot of local Indian players, young up-and-coming players, and some other international players from other teams. I guess at the end of the day the BCCI was trying to protect its own tournament. It was tough from New Zealand Cricket's point of view as well. They had to be seen to support the Indian board.
I still live in Christchurch. I was in England at the time of the earthquake and my family was home. I got on the flight the next day and came home. It was horrendous. Everyone was extremely shaken up. I guess in some ways you feel pretty guilty, but it made it an easier decision to move out of Christchurch to start my coaching career [in Zimbabwe]. Although Christchurch has always been my home and a wonderful place to live.
I think the best lesson I can pass on is to try and keep focused and ride a straight line as opposed to riding the wave.
We just had a plan to go out and go hard all the time. I think it sort of clicked against Australia. We said we've got nothing to lose. We're going to take them on. I think after that it flowed and we said this is the way we're always going to play. Always feel as though we've got a chance, whatever it takes, never die wondering.
I was very lucky. There are some people who got injured very early in their career. I felt very fortunate to have represented my country in 250 ODIs. Loved every moment of it. Are there things I'd change in my career? Not too much.
It's always nice to play with your brother. I played a little bit with Ben for Canterbury. He also played for Otago. I was more nervous watching him than when I was playing. [Playing against him] was similar. You're still nervous for him. Obviously you want your team to win, but it's always nice to see your brother do well.
I didn't mind the new ball, because in those days I was bowling a little bit of medium-pace inswingers, so the newer the ball, the more it swung. I think I was a much better bowler when the ball was swinging as well, because it gave me more variations.
Winning the ICC Knockout in 2000 was one of the best triumphs of my career.
The big difference for me from one-day cricket to Test cricket is that in one-day cricket I think I was a genuine allrounder, generally bowled my ten overs and batted in the middle order. In Test cricket I was seen more as a batsman who bowled a bit, so I put a lot more pressure on my batting, and I guess that weighed on me a little bit. That made it more difficult for me to have consistency and longevity in Test cricket.

Dairy Cooperative Offers Help for Health Fairs, Webinars, Workshops, Schools, Businesses and Community- and Faith-Based Programs
Those New Year's resolutions for a healthy lifestyle were made with the best of intentions. Then came the hard part: Keeping them.
As we pass the midpoint of the year, it's time to renew those commitments, and Cabot® Creamery Cooperative can lend a hand. Because it's never too late to get healthier.
To help keep consumers educated and motivated about health, Cabot offers no-cost wellness programs and materials to schools, businesses, community organizations and faith-based groups. This support is available for free on a first-come, first-served basis, as resources permit.
Cabot's product line currently includes light cheeses and Greek-style lowfat yogurts that have been recommended by dietitians, diabetes educators and chefs for both nutrition and taste. The dairy cooperative continues to expand its healthy choices with these outreach programs.
Cabot partners with employers by providing educational materials for company websites, bulletin boards, employee kitchens and break rooms. Webinars, workshops and healthy lifestyle competitions can also help encourage healthy living.
The free information can be utilized in health fairs, wellness programs, women's retreats, community-wide events, bazaars, coffee hours and mobile ministries. Materials include information on diabetes, weight loss, lactose-free and gluten-free diets, plus coupons and recipes.
Age-appropriate materials are available to help young people learn healthy habits with the aid of coloring books and prizes and through special lesson plans offered to interested teachers. The school materials also include a bone health education patch program for teens, as well as free curriculum kits on bone health for teachers to use in the classroom.
"We want to support and encourage healthy lifestyles on all levels," says Regan Jones, Registered Dietitian and Cabot Creamery Cooperative's National Nutrition Communications Manager. "We want adults and seniors to know that it's never too late to start living healthier lives. And we want to help teachers and parents show children that it's never too early to start."
Informational and motivational offerings that Cabot can provide include:
· Health fair and fundraiser support with light cheddar samples and snacks, educational materials, healthy recipes, coupons and door prizes.
· Weight loss, diabetes, lactose and osteoporosis initiatives that include info kits, recipes, coupons and incentive prizes for weight loss or healthy lifestyle competitions.
· Website, newsletter and bulletin board materials and support that offers educational health information and recipes.
· Curriculum kits and lesson plans for teachers. Coloring books for young students and incentive prizes for kids and teens.
Moreover, the programs can be fun. "There are many healthy ways to cut calories and fat without giving up flavor," says Jones. "One thing you can do is switch to reduced-fat dairy products. I use Cabot's Sharp Light Cheddar in many of my recipes and nobody can tell the difference. It tastes and cooks like regular cheddar - but with half the fat and more protein. The protein is key in making dishes that are satisfying and keep folks feeling fuller longer."
Jones adds, "I also replace some of the butter, sour cream and whipping cream called for in recipes with Cabot Greek-Style Yogurt. … It has a rich taste, with more protein and fewer calories. And making the switch is easy using Cabot's Greek-Style Yogurt Substitution chart as my guide."
To find recipes, that use "Light Cheddars" such as Cabot's Sharp Light, Sharp Extra Light, Jalapeno Light, and Pepper Jack Light, visit www.cabotcheese.coop/recipes. Each variety offers between 50 percent and 75 percent less fat than traditional cheddars, and all have the great full flavor and cooking properties of Cabot's regular cheddar.

Third and final (duh) Red Sox report card of the season. Just a couple of quick notes before we get started …
1. I put almost no weight on the playoffs when it came to grading. I'll take what a guy did over 162 games vs. what he did (or in most cases did not do) over three games.
2. Grades are based on the expectations for a player heading into 2009. If Jonathan Papelbon finished the season with the same stats as Ramon Ramirez, you'd be looking at two different grades, obviously.
Here are the grades (and feel free to let me know what you think at firstname.lastname@example.com) ...
Victor Martinez: A-
I saw where Rob Bradford picked Martinez for the Sox MVP in 2009. I'm not sure I can go that far (after all, he played just 56 games and I'm pretty sure the Sox make the wild card even without making the deal — you knew Texas was going to fade eventually), but I understand the thinking. Huge addition to the lineup and a perfect fit. As with Jason Bay last season, it feels like Martinez has been here for five years.
Martinez's 2009 numbers with the Sox projected to 145 games (as a catcher he won't play 162, but if healthy he'll DH and play first enough to stay around 145-150):
21 homers, 106 RBI, 83 runs, .405 OBP, .507 slugging
Anyone who wouldn't sign up for that from Martinez in 2009? Nothing on the back of his baseball card to suggest that he can't do it, either (though he won't hit .336 again — but he should be near .300).
Kevin Youkilis: A-
My pick for the team MVP this season, and as good a choice as any for AL MVP in the non-Joe Mauer division. Remember, he played in just 136 games this season but still managed to post a .305-27-94 line. I promise not to project you to sleep (no 162-game "what if" for Chris Woodward, for example) but here are Youkilis' numbers if he had played 162 games in 2009:
32 homers, 112 RBI, 118 runs, .413 OBP, .548 slugging
(Not the most important thought, I suppose, but can anyone give me a better candidate for 2009 Boston Athlete of the Year? I think we are going to do that at WEEI.com this year, we gave it to Pierce/Allen/Garnett in 2008. Those guys (along with any other Celtics player) are out. Can't think of a Bruin that is even close. Of course, we'll have to wait and see what the Pats do, but right now I think he's the favorite. If Wakefield had managed to stay healthy and win 20 games he would have been a lock.)
Jason Bay: B+
I was wavering between a B+ and A-, and I decided to give him a slight hit for his no-show in the series with Anaheim (.125 BA). But he had a really solid season (36 homers, 119 RBI, 105 runs) and, gun to my head, I'd guess he comes back and gets the five years.
(Though please don't misinterpret that as an invitation to actually put a gun to my head and make me predict whether or not Bay re-signs with the Sox. Not for my safety, mind you. It's just that my combination of street smarts and the ability to slap on the Camel Clutch from any position makes me the most destructive force the Earth has seen since Steven Segal in 1988. Even a quick glance at my photo will tell you that.)
I just think Theo will look at all the options and come to the conclusion that some guys might put up numbers in Boston but Bay is one player who has proven he can. That fifth year might be tough to swallow (Bay would be 35 years old), but if he's healthy you have to figure it's safe enough to pencil in .280-30-100 for the next four years. The "Will Bay Stay or Go" story is the headliner for the offseason.
Daniel Bard: B
Admit it, you kind of wanted Bard to come out and pitch a third inning on Sunday (not hard to admit, given what occurred, I guess). It never would have happened, of course, and I know it would have made no sense, but how easy did Bard make it look in the sixth and seventh? And I'm not sure I've seen a more dominant frame this season than the one produced by Bard in the eighth inning of Game 1.
Look, he has to cut down on his walks (in 49.1 innings he walked 22) but is there any doubt that, at the very worst, he'll be the eighth inning guy next season? It is really early in this novel but Bard looks every bit a top-five closer-in-waiting.
Jon Lester: B
Quick, what is Lester's career win-loss record? Three, two, one ... Would you believe 42-16? Makes sense, I guess, when you think about it, but I have to admit to being surprised. Obviously he doesn't have the amount of decisions to qualify, but if he did, his .724 career winning percentage would rank second in MLB history.
Maybe I'm hitting him too hard for that shaky start (on May 26 his ERA for the season was 6.07), but this is a grade for the year as a whole. But no pitcher other than Zack Grienke was even close to being in Lester's class over the final four months of the season.
I'm sure it won't be a problem for Lester, but he will enter 2010 with huge expectations. I suspect you'll see his name quite a few times as a preseason Cy Young pick.
Dustin Pedroia: B
Note to every announcer calling a Red Sox game over the next decade: It's OK to retire the "No one believed in him" angle with Pedroia. We get it. Time to move on.
I'm still on board with Pedroia as a real 3,000-hit candidate. Assuming he stays healthy, let's give him an average of 185 hits a year over the next decade (not an unreasonable number, his career 162-game average is 195 hits). That would get him to 2,430 by age 36. If he's still a useful everyday player at that point he'll have about a 50 percent chance of getting to 3,000.
Jacoby Ellsbury: B
Ellsbury already ranks sixth in franchise history with his 129 career steals. Harry Hooper is the leader with 300, so sometime in 2012 or so ...
I think this was exactly what you wanted to see from Ellsbury in his second full season. His walks were up and his strikeouts were down, he stole 20 more bases with just one more caught stealing, and his batting average, OBP and slugging all went up by about 20 points. His approval rating among Pink Hats even is up from 2008, which I didn't think was possible.
(And yes, 2024 will be a big year for 17-year-old kids named Jacoby asking their mothers why they have that tattoo on the lower part of their back.)
Billy Wagner: B
Would've been at the head of the class had he been in Boston all season and put up the same numbers he posted in his six weeks with the Sox. He was great in his 15 regular-season innings, allowing just three earned runs with 22 strikeouts. If he can stay healthy, he'll be a closer somewhere in 2010.
Here's a tip that may help out if you ever confuse Wagner with Mariano Rivera:
Wagner's postseason ERA in 2009 was 18.00. That is the THIRD time in his career he has had an ERA of 18.00 in a postseason (1997, 1998). Throw in a 16.88 (2006) and it's hard to ignore the possibility that the pressure might get the best of him.
Takashi Saito: B
This just seemed like it would work when he signed in the offseason. Low-risk (the contract was for a million-and-a-half plus incentives) and just two years removed from being arguably the top closer in the National League? Seemed a no-brainer. This is why I'd never pay a closer huge money. Saito outpitched K-Rod in 2009 (better ERA, K-Rod had a slightly better WHIP but in an easier league) for one-sixth the price. And you know what? That really shouldn't come as a huge surprise if you were paying attention. K-Rod set the record with 62 saves in 2008. Guess what? Saito was nearly as good (his WHIP was better, more Ks per innings, fewer walks). The lesson is that saves mean absolutely nothing. Probably 30 guys could've saved 62 games for the Angels in 2008, including Saito if he had stayed healthy. Just one to grow on when people start throwing out saves in defense of Papelbon as the inevitable debate begins (whether it be this year or next).
J.D. Drew: B
A little more Player A/Player B:
Player A: .267 batting average, .384 OBP, .537 slugging
Player B: .279 batting average, .392 OBP, .522 slugging
Player A? Jason Bay. Player B? J.D. Drew.
J.D. Drew had an OPS of .914 in 2009, 21st in the major leagues. He had a higher OPS than Evan Longoria, Carlos Pena, Justin Morneau, Derek Jeter, Chase Utley, Victor Martinez and Matt Holliday. I'm sure Theo believes that Drew earned every penny of that $14 million this season.
Ramon Ramirez: B-
Raise your hand if you expect Ramirez to contribute much in 2010. Which guy is the one we are going to see?
First half of 2009: 38.2 IP, 2.33 ERA, 27 hits, 27 K, 15 walks, 1.086 WHIP
Second half of 2009: 31 IP, 3.48 ERA, 34 hits, 25 K, 17 walks, 1.645 WHIP
Hideki Okajima: B-
Still a reliable guy out of the bullpen, but there is a trend developing.
Okajima's ERA:
2007: 2.22
2008: 2.61
2009: 3.39
2007: .971
2008: 1.161
2009: 1.262
SO/BB Ratio:
2007: 3.71
2008: 2.61
2009: 2.52
Again, what he gave you in 2009 is serviceable and plenty good enough to have a role in any 'pen. But another step or two backward and suddenly he's just another guy. It bears watching in 2010.
Jonathan Papelbon: B-
Three things:
1. This is not chest-puffing, because I'm wrong far more than I'm right, but I did first-guess the intentional walk to Torii Hunter. I just think loading the bases to pitch to Vladimir Guerrero is a mistake. The best way to beat Vlad, of course, is to make him hit pitches out of the strike zone (you know he's swinging at anything). With a two-run lead, maybe Papelbon would have taken a few chances, but in a one-run game he's not going to fool around with a potential walk. Hunter is a nice player but he's not the kind of player you have to pitch around. Not a great series for Francona (he also left Beckett in for too long in Game 2) but he's earned a miss or two at least.
2. I can't shake the feeling that you might have seen Papelbon in a Red Sox uniform for the last time on Sunday. And if that is true, it really is a shame that he was booed off the field after giving up the hit to Guerrero. This isn't Calvin Schiraldi we're talking about here. Papelbon is the best closer in franchise history and, until the meltdown on Sunday, had never allowed a run in the postseason. Between the standing ovation for David Ortiz the day he was popped for steroids and this, you have to call this season a big whiff for the Fenway faithful.
3. I don't know if Papelbon is on the decline, but there are some red flags.
More walks allowed in 2009 (24) than in 2007 and 2008 combined (23).
Worst K/BB rate and WHIP in his four seasons as a closer.
But even knowing that, if he returns to the Red Sox in 2010 he'll be a top-five closer. He still strikes out 10 guys per nine innings and was brilliant in the second half of 2009 (.897 WHIP, .274 OBP against.) And I don't think anyone believes that what happened on Sunday will have a negative impact on Papelbon.
Josh Beckett: B-
Cy Young in May, June and July (10-2, 2.43 ERA), and Matt Young for the rest of the season (7-4, 5.31 ERA.)
Clay Buchholz: B-
If the Mariners call Theo Epstein in the offseason and offer Felix Hernandez for Buchholz and Bard, should he pull the trigger? I think the answer is yes, but unlike in August (when the deal was rumored), I would pause before answering in the affirmative. Really, the two players on the Red Sox who "broke out" in 2009 were Buchholz and Bard. Would anyone be stunned if Buchholz went, I don't know, 15-8 with a 3.60 ERA in 2010?
(Of course it is also possible that Buchholz goes 4-8 with a 5.40 ERA and spends some time in Pawtucket. And that is why you make the Hernandez trade. I think Bard is the real thing, but Hernandez could win three or four Cy Youngs in the next decade. Wonder if those talks will pick up again in the offseason.)
Alex Gonzalez: B-
This is the highest grade I can give anyone with a .316 on-base percentage. I know, I know, he hit .284 and played a great shortstop, but if he returns to the Sox in 2010 (and I bet he will — he has a $6 million club option, pretty good value) don't expect anything close to a .284 average. Coin flip that his OBP won't even be that high. But in a lineup that could include Pedroia, Youkilis, Ortiz, Bay, Martinez and Drew, having a no-hit, good-field shortstop isn't the end of the world.
Mike Lowell: C+
Ran out of steam down the stretch (.324 slugging percentage, just one home run in 81 plate appearances in September and October), but had a passable season, I guess. Almost an exact match of his, well, passable 2008 season:
2008: 58 runs, 27 doubles, 17 HR, 73 RBI, 38 walks, 61 K, .338 OBP
2009: 54 runs, 29 doubles, 17 HR, 75 RBI, 33 walks, 61 K, .337 OBP
Not great for $12 million a year, but not a disaster, either. I think the Sox would be happy with one more season of .280-17-75 before the contract ends and Lowell either A) retires or B) signs somewhere for a year and a couple of million bucks. Think I'll keep more of an eye on those late one-year deals this year — I'm almost sure I didn't even know Bobby Abreu was with Anaheim until a few weeks after he signed on Feb. 12. Didn't count on that move being the difference in an ALDS Sox/Angels series.
Tim Wakefield: C
Speaking of one-year deals …
What a strange year for Knucksie. Doesn't the whole All-Star thing feel like three years ago? His 2009 season was defined by a pair of glaring spilts:
First half: 11-3, 4.31 ERA
Second half: 0-2, 6.00 ERA
Home: 7-1, 4.13 ERA
Road: 4-4, 5.10 ERA
He'll be back. Sure, he's 43 years old (if you can claim that you played with skinny Barry Bonds and fat Roger Clemens you have some miles on the tires) and missed basically half the season, but he's a bargain at $4 million. As of today he'd be your fifth starter. Would you rather go out in the open market and take a shot on a Brad Penny type for 6 or 7 mil? (And Penny will get that kind of money — do you realize that he was 4-1 with a 2.59 ERA with the Giants? I firmly believe that if Kevin Costner's character in "For Love of the Game" unretired and signed with the Braves, he'd win 18 games. The NL is a disgrace.)
David Ortiz: C
Easiest grade to hand out. If I had asked you, off of a 2008 that seemed to signal the beginning of the end, what would constitute an average season for Ortiz in 2009 you would've gone with something in the .270-20-80 range, right? Well, he didn't come close to that batting average, but the power was there (27 homers and 81 RBI after June 1.) And he was an 'A' player and an 'F' player for nearly the same amount of time in 2009. Ironically, I also gave Esther Rolle a 'C' in my "Good Times" report card for the 1976 TV season.
Manny Delcarmen: D+
Maybe Delcarmen pitches 15 years in the majors and this just turns out to be one of the two or three stinkers in his career. Or maybe his putrid second half (7.27 ERA, 1.885 WHIP) is a harbinger and he's out of the majors in three years. Relief pitching is just impossible to predict.
Jason Varitek: D
You know, if the Red Sox sign some journeyman to catch twice a week in 2010 and he puts up the same numbers as Varitek, it wouldn't be a big deal. But there is no reason to have to watch this guy struggle again next year. Just retire, Jason. Your legacy is secure. Move on to coaching, or NESN, or even a little work for WEEI.com (come on — I know you are dying to join the crew. Where else can you make weekly NFL picks that don't include the point spread?) All I know is that no one wants you to play in 2010 and have to battle to hit Matt Roloff's weight.
Daisuke Matsuzaka: D
His final four starts (3-1, 2.22 ERA) saved Dice-K from flunking out. Still not sold on him for 2010, however, his WHIP for those four starts was 1.40, a lousy number. Still has three years and $28 million left on his contract (with a full no-trade.)
Sort of had an impact but still incompletes:
Michael Bowden, Hunter Jones, Jed Lowrie, Gil Velazquez, Dusty Brown, Casey Kotchman, Junichi Tazawa, Michael Bowden, Joey Gathright, Javier Lopez (who did pitch 14 times and could have easily been given an 'F.')
Couldn't think of anything new to write from previous report cards so let's just give them a grade and move on:
Nick Green: C
Rocco Baldelli: D+
Biggest story of the season:
On the field? Daniel Bard. Off the field? Ortiz and whatever it was that he did or did not do.
Biggest non-story of the season:
Do you think if Manny Ramirez were on this team the Sox would still be playing? Me neither.
Three semi-fearless predictions for the offseason:
The Sox re-sign Bay for five years and $75 million.
Papelbon is not traded but (at least once) blasts the front office for not showing interest in signing him to an extension.
Varitek is bought out by the Red Sox and does not choose to retire, instead signing a one-year deal with the Mets.

Region: Southeast
Topic: Erosion Control, Groundcovers, Shade Tolerant, Ferns, Grasses or Grass-like
Title: Erosion control for a North Carolina creek side
Answered by: Becky Ruppel
There are many native plant options to control erosion along creek sides in North Carolina. The plants that will work the best will be quick growing, will have good root systems, and will tolerate occasional flooding. The plants should also be shade and wet soil loving. Though you may want to check how wet your soil stays and adjust which plants you select based on the general wetness of the soil. Since you mentioned a grass option above here are a couple species that are likely to help control the creek side erosion problem. The first two are some sedges Carex amphibola (Creek sedge) and Carex crinita (Fringed sedge). Both species grow by creek sides and form good root systems. Another option is a grass, Calamagrostis canadensis (Bluejoint). This grass should be happy growing with the sedges, and forms clumps and should help keep the soil in place as well. All three options should grow happily together if mixing them sounds like a satisfying option.
Another interesting option would be planting some fern species. They are typically very happy growing in shady wet areas. A couple of options are Dryopteris ludoviciana (Southern woodfern) and Onoclea sensibilis (Sensitive fern). Both will form good root bases and will be pretty in the spring when Onclea forms fiddle heads.
If you would like to explore other options, check out the Wildflower Center's Native Plant Database. When on the page you can do a combination search, selecting "North Carolina" from the States and Provinces dropdown menu. Then select "perennial" from the Duration dropdown. Finally, check the boxes "wet" (or moist if that is more accurate for the soil on the creek side) from the Soil Moisture section and "shade" from the Light Duration section. Then press the Submit Combination Search button. This should return several pages of results and you can browse them to see if there are any other plants that you would like to plant on the creek side.

get back on your med's mate!
Ignorant is ranting about "Lucipher" and spelling it wrong my friend. It's Lucifer by the way. So, during your next rant, go ahead and spell it correctly.
Spelt? Not sure that's a word (spelled).
But yeah, all of this illuminati nonsense is growing so. fucking. old. Think for yourself, and shit will be fine. Of course the "weak minded" are ALWAYS going to follow the popular opinion, and there will ALWAYS be people trying to direct things via the media, but what the hell is this obsession with rappers and "illuminati". Do any of us truly even know what the hell the illuminati are?
Probably not. Besides, where do most of these people get their "facts"? Internet, chat rooms, youtube comments, random websites, etc. Like that's trustworthy. Psh.
And like Richard said, wtf is up with the MLK reference????
Richard said:
Wait wait wait wait.... Did you just compair MLK Jr. in his father's talking about racism and equality to a group that controls the world?Seriously? Please go hang yourself in the closet and write a badly spelt letter. Make sure to include all your crazy rantings so that when the officials find you, it is properly thrown in a trash.

One thing about having an open data stream for the Americas Cup means that there is nowhere to hide when it comes to how fast you are going around the course.
Over the weekend I managed to stumble across www.cupinfo.com, a site that collects all the data and creates polar graphs of the AC competitors. Looking at the numbers, it clearly shows that Oracle have made significant gains in both raw boatspeed and tacking performance.
Looking at the boat speed polars, you can clearly see how the game has changed from Race 1-2 to Race 8. Oracle is now quicker in all points of sail.
In the early races, the lack of tacking performance of OTUSA was plain for everyone to see. In less than a week, the tables have turned. As you can see below, Oracle now has a much higher speed through the tacks, which leads to gains around the course.
For such a short period of time, those gains are nothing short of impressive. Now if only you could make those sort of gains in a week in a moth …
Update:At the end of the cup, Oracle were simply smashing ETNZ. Looking at the speed over ground polar it is almost a no-contest when it comes to boat speed. Dean Barker himself said, "We went from being a minute ahead on the upwinds to being a minute behind."
If you want to get your AC stats on head over to www.cupinfo.com.

MAC and NARS lineup:
MAC Girl About Town/MAC So Chaud/Nars Red Lizard/MAC Overtime/MAC Please Me/Nars Schiap/MAC Vegas Volt/MAC Myth/MAC Impassioned
Somedays I am lucky to get ready for the day, but about the time Collin should be coming home I'll throw my hair up in a top knot, apply some mascara and some lipstick… less zombie mommy. I recently found some new favorites and would love to share! From everyday shades to some date night pizazz.
Girl About Town: A new favorite-bright and sassy
Chatterbox: Classic pink
So Chaud: Bold Orangish red
Vegas Volt: Pinkish orange red
Impassioned: More pink and bright than Girl About Town
Schiap: Such a fun pink
Overtime: Great everyday color
Myth: A nude color. love with a gloss layer
Please Me: Another great light everyday color
Red Lizard: Bold classic red (wearing in the pic below)
Viva Glam Nicki: Daring, matte pink
Tried out some shades on those kissable cheeks!
(Above photos of Myles and me by Quincey other photos by me: )
Then it was all too much fun and he fell fast asleep.
28 Responses to Lipstick Lineup
Ann Marie says:
How stinkin cute is that? And hey, can I have some of the MAC lipsticks? Those are a splurge for me — lucky you!! xo
Christina says:
Sweet pics! Love all the shades. Remember to hold on to your containers of MAC products for their Back to MAC recycling program! 6 retuned empties get 1 free lipstick!
susan h. says:
He is sooooo cute! We're onto grand babies now and I love them but having raised 4 kids I can tell you they grow up too fast. Enjoy every moment!
He is so cute with all those kisses!
anastasia says:
oh I love all those shades!! I need to wear more colour on my lips – ive been stuck on gloss for so long now…your boy is adorable!
Tori says:
Such cute pictures! LOVE all your shots hope to be as good as your one day!
Hannah says:
Such a cute post! xx
Ana Luísa says:
Laughed a lot when I saw the photos of Myles pockmarked lipstick! You are so much fun!
Kelly Jean says:
I wish lipstick looked good on me. I haven't found any that really look great on me. The bold colors look beautiful on you! And your sweet Myles! What an adorable bunch to wake up to everyday.
Elizabeth Kartchner says:
Ah thanks! give it a try… there's some subtle colors in the list too.
Heidi says:
I just heard on the news that some lipsticks contain lead. Can you imagine how much lead we have consumed over the years just from lipstick alone? Look carefully at your lipstick ingredients.
I love the picture of your baby boy with his hands folded as if he fell asleep mid-prayer.
lindsay roberts says:
SUCH a cute post. I am going to try some of these
Karen L K says:
I don't really wear to much lipstick but those are darn cute pictures. That last one of your son asleep with his hands together is so precious.
Jennifer fast says:
Oh my gosh, is he adorable! Love when they have hands clasped!
senoritascrapper says:
So cute! What a great way to share lipstick shades.
Kim Castillo says:
Love, love, love my MAC lipsticks! The best staying power. During the summer I layer with a Clinque gloss on top to give some additional sheen. Always have people ask me what lipstick I am wearing. Spend the money…MAC is worth it!
In the words of Rachel Zoe, you and Myles are tot adorbs!!! -
Kate Henneberger says:
Thanks for the lipstick suggestions! At 29 years old I need to break that barrier and start upping my lipstick game ( I am having trouble letting go of colored lip gloss and chap-stick). Also, I am due 9/27 with a little boy of my own and I have not been able to find a baseball onesie/ shirt. Where on earth did you find the cute one your little guy is wearing?
Thanks in advance! -
Rachel says:
Your boy is such a little dream boat, my goodness so adorable. That smile. Melts your heart.

Kukla's Korner Hockey

from The Maven at MSG Network,
MOST OVERRRATED STORY OF THE SUMMER—The Isles losing Ryan Smyth:
Smyth072307No matter how you shake it, Ryan is a good—NOT SUPERIOR—hockey player. When he came to Long Island—at a pretty steep price—Smyth displayed virtually no signs of greatness simply because he is what he is; a solid veteran who was deified beyond all reason in Canada.

Matte Banners
Matte banners are a great marketing tool because they are not affected by the glare that traditional vinyl banners give off in the light
Vinyl banners are a great way to grab many people's attention at once, but where they are displayed makes a huge difference. If placed outside on a bright sunny day, custom banners with a gloss finish may not be the best option because they will reflect the sun's rays, thus making it harder for prospective customers to see the vibrant colors and inviting message.
In these situations, businesses should consider ordering a vinyl, matte banner! Without the shiny coating on top of the custom banner, onlookers will be able to read the information on the banner with ease. At BannerBuzz, our printing techniques will ensure that each banner will still drive traffic toward your storefront because the signage will be easy on the eyes and reader-friendly.

Since matte banners lack a glare, they are also useful marketing tools during a trade show. Many of these showrooms are full of fluorescent lights, which can be a vinyl banner's enemy if it has a semi-gloss finish. Businesses show up to these events to network with colleagues and potential clients, and the only way they are noticed is if people can read the banner.
Those using our matte banners can extend their shelf life through proper care of the product. Because matte banners lack the gloss finish, they might not be as weather-resistant. However, they are still tear-resistant and strong enough to withstand many weather conditions.
At BannerBuzz we have a gallery of banners for customers to choose from. Those who have their own images can import them into our web application and begin designing the banner that suits your business' needs. Every customer is qualified for one free art proof before the print is sent off to our printing team.

They not only describe the dishes in detail, but can adeptly advise on wine selection as well. Eclectic clientele. Some folks stop in to or from the beach, others are pre-theater or for an evening out. You can enjoy casual outdoor service under big umbrellas or an upbeat charming interior with a "funky" flair. Located just off "artsy" Atlantic Av.... More
