I purchased this product for my 5 year old and although my son loved this game and it did have some educational attributes, it was very violent. In my attempt to overlook it thinking I was being an overprotective mom, his dad watched him play it one day as did his grandmother and I heard them both comment on how violent the game was and I had NOT said anything about my concern. After a few days he started saying how he had to stop the bad guys which was accompanied by a stomped foot, hands into fists and clenched teeth and when asked how he stopped them he said nothing of karate, just that he had to "kill them dead". Although I can appreciate that he was able to recognize the "good guys" from the "bad guys", had I been aware the game is taught through violence, I would have never purchased it. May be more appropriate for an older child but I feel the packaging was extremely misleading. I had to take the game away from him and hide it. Very disappointed in this game even though every other one purchased rior seemed so accurate.

A game so good levels are repeated for fun
By Lacy

Comments about LeapFrog Explorer Learning Game - The Penguins of Madagascar: Operation Plushy Rescue:
My boy is mastering his math facts, and this game really makes it fun to practice. He finished all the levels but he is still playing it all over again from the beginning. I love the additional challenge of the logic puzzles. It really gets him thinking.

Favorite game
By Pinkbunny
from New York
This is hands down the favorite game of my boys who are 3 and 5. They have both beaten it a few times but seem to always want to come back and play this game. It is educational and fun at the same time. There have been times that I thought I would have to purchase another one since sometimes they fight over it. I highly recommend this game and this is a must have.
super fun
By lexxilexxi
from Tacoma, Washington
This game was a hit with my son. There is alot of karate chopping and solving educational puzzles. This game will grow with him but when he gets stuck he puts it down because he has an overload of learning shapes and numbers, which is a good thing to me. Very fun AND educational.
Got to have it
By Runningbee
from North Bend, Ohio
My grandson continues to enjoy this game each and every time he plays it. He'll shout out when he achieves another goal or clears a level. He commonly would last about 15 minutes on other game devices, he would want someone else to move past levels he couldn't achieve. Not with Leap Pad 2. He doesn't want to put it down. Love to see him so engaged.

My 5 year old son received this for his birthday 3 months ago and still plays it daily. He recently beat the whole game and still plays it. It is very cute game that keeps him engaged. I would recommend for any active child or who is a fan of the madgascar show. Even older children love this game.

My son received this game with this new Leap Pad for Christmas 2011 and still plays it more than any of the others to this day- almost a whole year later! I like that it mixes action and fighting (which he likes) with math and listening skills. Great game! Hope that which ever 1 I buy him this year to add to his collection can be just as good!

Comments On Nov 14, 2013:I bought a set of these a few years ago and the matched the color of my blue Twin Peaks. So I bought another set for my CanAm...first off the yellow doesn't match the CanAm yellow but that's not the issue. The issue is the metal connector is about an inch or more shorter that the previous set so it won't clear the brake lever, it's pretty much worthless to me at this point so it will sit in the cupboard and collect dust unless I find a kids atv for them to fit on. I liked the first set the second set made changes for the worse.

The FOX 31 News Team covers Southwest Georgia 24/7
ALBANY, GA -- Officials with Southwest Georgia Regional Airport have confirmed via email that the Albany contract tower has been placed on the FAA closure list due to the sequestration. SWGA Regional Airport Director Yvette Aehle says she will be meeting with air traffic control staff and FAA technical staff based in Albany to talk about the transition and will be holding a press conference at 4 PM. The four week phased closures will begin on April 7.
Air traffic control for the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport will now be conducted out of Jacksonville, which officials say creates longer waiting times because with no one based in Albany, only one plane can come in and take off at a time.
Before the decision was made, air traffic manager with CI2 Aviation Dwayne Adams told members of the Albany-Dougherty County Aviation Commission that the airport would not only see much longer waiting times to get on and off the ground due to the closure, but the airport would have to close a runway as well.
Aviation commission members also expressed their concerns during their meeting last week saying if people have longer waiting times, they could miss their connecting flight in Atlanta, which could drive potential customers away from booking flights out of Albany in favor of just driving to Atlanta.Below is the press release issued by the FAA:Today, the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reached the decision that 149 federal contract towers will close beginning April 7 as part of the agency's sequestration implementation plan. The agency has made the decision to keep 24 federal contract towers open that had been previously proposed for closure because doing so would have a negative impact on the national interest. An additional 16 federal contract towers under the "cost share" program will remain open because Congressional statute sets aside funds every fiscal year for these towers. These cost-share program funds are subject to sequestration but the required 5 percent cut will not result in tower closures. "We heard from communities across the country about the importance of their towers and these were very tough decisions," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "Unfortunately we are faced with a series of difficult choices that we have to make to reach the required cuts under sequestration." "We will work with the airports and the operators to ensure the procedures are in place to maintain the high level of safety at non-towered airports," said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. In early March, FAA proposed to close 189 contract air traffic control towers as part of its plan to meet the $637 million in cuts required under budget sequestration and announced that it would consider keeping open any of these towers if doing so would be in the national interest. The national interest considerations included: (1) significant threats to national security as determined by the FAA in consultation with the Department of Defense or the Department of Homeland Security; (2) significant, adverse economic impact that is beyond the impact on a local community; (3) significant impact on multi-state transportation, communication or banking/financial networks; and (4) the extent to which an airport currently served by a contract tower is a critical diversionary airport to a large hub. In addition to reviewing materials submitted on behalf of towers on the potential closure list, DOT consulted with the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, and conducted operational assessments of each potential tower closure on the national air transportation system. Some communities will elect to participate in FAA's non-federal tower program and assume the cost of continued, on-site air traffic control services at their airport (see Advisory Circular AC 90-93A.) The FAA is committed to facilitating this transition. The FAA will begin a four-week phased closure of the 149 federal contract towers beginning on April 7.Stay connected to MySouthWestGA.com as stories develop and the FOX 31 Newscast at 10 PM.

There is a trend among evangelicals to engage in social reform without first developing a coherent social philosophy to guide the agenda. To bridge this gap, Acton Institute and Kuyper College are partnering together to translate Abraham Kuyper's seminal three-volume work on common grace (De gemeene gratie). Common Grace was chosen because it holds great potential to build intellectual capacity within evangelicalism and because a sound grasp of this doctrine is what is missing in evangelical cultural engagement. Common Grace is the capstone of Kuyper's constructive public theology and the best available platform to draw evangelicals back to first principles and to orient their social thought.
Common Grace Translation Project Welcomes New Partners
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (February 22, 2012)--The Common Grace Translation Project welcomes four new institutional partners that have signed on to support the work of translating, publishing, and promoting this seminal work of the Dutch theologian and statesman Abraham Kuyper.
Calvin College, Fuller Theological Seminary, Mid-America Reformed Seminary, and the Andreas Center for Reformed Scholarship and Service at Dordt College have partnered with the project leaders at Kuyper College and the Acton Institute to bring this foundational text back into contemporary theological and cultural discussion.
Kuyper's three-volume work, Common Grace (De gemeene gratie) appeared from 1901-05, during his tenure as prime minister in the Netherlands. These volumes are based on a series of newspaper editorials intended to equip common citizens and laypersons with the tools they needed to effectively enter public life. "If the believer's God is at work in this world," wrote Kuyper, "then in this world the believer's hand must take hold of the plow, and the name of the Lord must be glorified in that activity as well."
The doctrine of common grace is, as Kuyper put it, "the root conviction for all Reformed people," and pointing to the dynamics of broader evangelical cultural engagement, Richard Mouw, president of Fuller Theological Seminary, said that "Kuyper's writings on common grace are much needed 'for a time such as this.'"
The translation project plans to publish a complete translation of Abraham Kuyper's three-volume work on common grace, totaling over 1,700 pages. Volume one of Common Grace is scheduled to appear in fall 2012. The first selection from the broader translation project appeared last fall under the title, Wisdom & Wonder: Common Grace in Science & Art.
About the Author: Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) is a significant figure in the history of the Netherlands and modern Protestant theology. A prolific intellectual, he founded a political party and a university, and served as the prime minister of the Netherlands from 1901-1905. His enduring passion was to develop a theology for the general public, particularly through his extensive elaboration of the doctrine of common grace.
About the publisher: Founded in 1979 by Gerard Berghoef and Lester DeKoster, Christian's Library Press has been committed to publishing influential texts on church leadership, the vocation of work, and stewardship for more than 30 years.

University of Louisville junior guard Russ Smith is one of 12 players selected by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association for its 2013 Oscar Robertson Trophy Midseason Watch List.
Members of the association's board of directors chose the players to be included on the list as contenders for the Oscar Robertson Trophy presented by Aflac.
The award is to be presented to the national player of the year by its namesake at the Devon Energy College Basketball Awards on April 15 at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. The Henry Iba Coach of the Year Award and the Integris Wayman Tisdale Freshman of the Year Award will also be presented at the gala to be held annually the Monday following the NCAA Men's Final Four.
Smith is among the BIG EAST Conference leaders in scoring (18.4 points per game, third in the BIG EAST), steals (2.2, third, 22nd nationally) and free throw percentage (.790, ninth). He has scored in double figures in all but two games this season and has scored 20 or more on ten occasions. He was named to the Wooden Award Midseason Top 25 and was the fifth-highest vote-getter on a Jan. 10 ESPN.com poll of Player of the Year candidates at mid-season.
Teammates from Indiana and Kansas headline the watch list that includes four Big Ten players. Indiana's Victor Oladipo and Cody Zeller are joined by fellow Big Ten standouts Trey Burke of Michigan and Deshaun Thomas of Ohio State. The pair of Jayhawks named to the list are Ben McLemore and Jeff Withey. Big East standouts Michael Carter-Williams of Syracuse and Smith join ACC star Mason Plumlee of Duke as players who were also recognized.
A pair of Oscar Robertson National Players of the Week from this season are featured as well: Doug McDermott from Creighton and Burke. Also, two natives of Canada, UNLV's Anthony Bennett and Gonzaga's Kelly Olynyk, were selected. Overall, the list is balanced by class with two seniors, five juniors, three sophomores and two freshmen appearing.

Reactor shut down after cooling system issue
The Palisades Nuclear Plant in southwestern Michigan has been shut down due to a loss of water in a cooling system. WWMT-TV reports the facility in Covert Township was shut down just before 3 p.m. Friday.
The lowest of four emergency classification levels was declared. The classification means plant workers were notified and were resolving the problem. Officials say the shutdown poses no risk to the public and that no radioactive materials were released.
A U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspection was held at the Van Buren County plant last month after a water pump component failed. The plant is owned by New Orleans-based Entergy Corporation.

"Quiet weekend stay."
We had a clean room and the staff was friendly. We stayed on a Saturday night. The front desk said they are typically slow on the weekends doing most of their business during the week. I read some complaints about the RR tracks nearby. We were on the first floor and closest to the tracks. We heard the trains while we were awake, but they never woke […] us up and I sleep lightly. I wouldn't let that deter you from saying here. There was a hot breakfast, typical of this type hotel. We have family in KC and will stay here again. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Great place to stay, super friendly staff!"
From the moment we arrived we were treated very well. After discovering we were in town celebrating our anniversary, the staff delivered a very sweet card and gift basket. We saw this as above and beyond any expectation we had. The pool was in good condition. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Decent, but subpar for usual Hampton experience"
Worked out ok for a couple of nights, but probably won't go back to this particular Hampton Inn. We stayed in a first floor room that was evidently next to the heating and ventilation unit for the hotel common areas. We could hear the system cycling all night. Additionally, there were suspect stains on our carpet and the shower was not very clean. Also, […] no microwave as I've grown to expect with my Hampton Inn experiences. Bed was decently comfortable and breakfast was good. Convenient location for quick access to I-35. Several good restaurants nearby. Safe neighborhood. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"bent over backwards"
Hamptons have always been pleasant to me and this was no exception. The room had a two technical issues, one of them very minor, and the hotel bent over backwards to accommodate me in terms of a future stay.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Comfy and cozy"
My husband and I stayed here en route from central TX to WI for a family wedding. We drove 2,400 round-trip over five days, with only one day at our destination without any driving. The hotel is very conveniently located, right off I-35. The room was very clean, and the bed was very comfortable--and I am picky. I LOVE that they clean the duvet cover […] as well as the sheets for each guest. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Missing a few things"
Overall this was a pleasant stay but the refrigerator was not functioning and there was a big wet spot in the carpeting where they maybe (?) accidentally defrosted it. Otherwise the room was quite nice. The cable channels were minimal. I have never been to a hotel that did not offer PBS, or MSNBC. I'm assuming it was the clientele in this conservative […] part of the country. But FOXsports, FOXbusiness, FOXnews (national and local). It was slim pickings for this person who likes to wind down with favorite news programs. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

Highly recommended. Price is appropriate for what you get. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was beyond expectations.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Will not stay here again"
Door security lock broken; carpet and chairs dirty with hair, food splotches and crumbs; carpet soaking wet by A/C unit; A/C unit fan stuck on high; open bottle of shampoo in shower and shampoo shelf full of water; sticky mess on wall near A/C unit. The bedding and towels were clean, but it is clear they did not clean the rest of the room. Reported […] to staff and they had an "attitude." Could only offer a smoking room than night and for rest of weekend. Said their spray deodorant would take care of smoking odor. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Non smoking is not truly non smoking"
Every thing was good especially the friendliness and professionalism of staff. The only thing that caused us a real problem was the fact we specifically requested 2 non smoking rooms. As soon as we arrived at our room we saw ash trays and also the smell of smoke that the hotel tried to cover up but was not able to. My wife is very much impacted by smoke […] smell so it caused our stay to be uncomfortable. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"All great except for the pull-out"
We had a very pleasant stay. Everything was very clean. The bed was comfortable, and we didn't hear any hall noise, which is saying something as there was some kind of convention for high schoolers going on. We booked a suite so that our son could stay in a separate room. This would have been great, with a tv in each room, except the pull-out sofa had […] the worst mattress I've ever experienced on a pull-out. There was nowhere you could lay that you couldn't feel springs poking you. We finally put the sofa cushions on top of the mattress and the sheets over those just to make it bearable for the night. If it wasn't so late that we discovered the problem, I would have asked for another room. We notified the front desk the next morning, so hopefully it will be fixed. But if you get room 206, check the pull out mattress when you arrive. The breakfast was nicely varied, and the cheese omelets were pretty good! 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

Extremely bad experience. Dirty bathroom, sheets were not changed from previous customer, no drapes on full size windows (no privacy on 1st floor room), extremely unprofessional reception attendant.

"Great hotel - great value!"
We used this hotel for a stop over and were pleased with everything that we encountered. The room was up-to-date in decor and very clean. The bathroom was spotless. The front desk help was courteous and helpful. The breakfast bar was by far one of the best we have encountered and include fresh fruit mix, waffles, scrambled eggs and sausage, cereals, […] pastries and juices. The presentation was quite pleasing and the help was very carefully keeping it stocked with the breakfast crowd's heavy use. We will definitely stay here again should we have the opportunity! 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Suitable for our needs"
ROOMS - Could use more care (to remove stains on curtains, for example) but were clean. One room had a full kitchen with a fridge, stove, and microwave--as well as pots, dishes, and utensils in the cabinets and drawers. POOL - People in our party had fun in the pool; though it had a strong chlorine smell one morning, it was better by nighttime and other […] mornings. BREAKFAST - Food for the free breakfast was varied and usually well-stocked. I liked that the seating allowed for more open or more private eating. HOTEL SERVICE - The knowledge and personality of the staff was sufficient. They aren't the most professional call-takers and are more considerate in person. The receptionist for check-in didn't ask for a card for incidentals, which became a minor issue at check-out; however, it was midnight when we checked in, and she was friendly. Also, another receptionist printed out a map and instructions for us when we asked for help finding a nearby street. LOCATION - It's on a side road that is parallel to I-35, tricky to get to the first time, but has little traffic. It takes only a few minutes to get to Quivira Road or Shawnee Mission Parkway. OVERALL - We enjoyed our stay and might stay there again. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Great value for price. Rooms were very "standard" connected room/suite style guest rooms. Spacious and had been noticeably updated and well maintained. Clean with good service. We did not take advantage of pool or amenities but breakfast was good and had a hot/cold variety. Overall very pleased with the stay and value for this area.Expedia 真实住客点评
Unfortunately the room fire/smoke alarm had been removed and a hole was in the wall above the bed, which scared us. However, true to Hampton's "satisfaction guaranteed" policy, the manager gave us a credit for the entire overnight bill. Other than that maintenance issue, the hotel was great, and the service was obviously reflective of the Hampton policy. […] I would stay here again if in the area. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

A 12-year-old girl drowned Saturday night after falling into the Shiawassee River, just Southeat of Owosso.
The young girl has been identified as Kyesha Monae Pascal of Flint Michigan.
The Kyesha was walking across the Shiatown Dam with her family, when she fell into about 20 feet of cold, fast-moving water, according to Shiawassee County officials.
It happened around 5:30 Saturday near Bancroft and Benningtown Roads. Crews spent more than four hours searching for her. Her body was recovered just after 9:30 p.m.
Three dive teams were called out to assist in the search. Bystanders and family members also made rescue attempts. Officials say the cold water, swift river flow and depth near the dam hampered those efforts.

::::Wondering why this is allowed to continue infinitely::::
If I had 3 wishes... One of my wishes would be to make a select few of you Pirates Fans.
Seems to me you have a selective memory about the things I have a selective memory about! I'm thinking here of:Originally Posted by bobby jr
'The Orioles aren't whipping boys of the AL East anymore' - well, they sure are!
'The new bullpen will make a big difference to the Orioles this year' - technically true, it made them worse than ever
'When that new MASN money comes in, Baltimore will be able to compete' - it certainly helped them compete for worst MLB season in the last 50 years!
'Tampa Bay have a minimal chance of winning the AL East ever' - they did it less than two seasons later, and made the World Series to boot
'Greater payroll disparity has made it impossible for small-market teams to complete' - as proven above, they're competing better than ever
'The new CBA (in 2007) will bring a salary cap; most owners want it' - the new CBA made no changes to bring in a salary cap at all
And let's not forget Daniel Cabrera as the new Sandy Koufax! Or was it Randy Johnson?
Bobby, you're wrong a heck of a lot. And often it's because the facts are available to prevent you looking foolish, but you ignore them, because they contradict your opinions.
Knowingly telling falsehoods when the facts are available to avoid doing so is called lying, bobby.
You're saying that we are unlikely to have bad teams in the World Series? I agree. But there's every chance of us having low-payroll teams in the World Series, because we just had two in three years!Free agency and team payroll were not as important in determining who won in the late '70's as it is today. Fat chance of seeing a 1979 Pittsburgh-Baltimore WS these days.
2007: Colorado Rockies, 26th in payroll
2008: Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 29th in payroll
So the chances of seeing the Pirates or Orioles in the Series are, indeed, slender. But the chances of seeing the Rays (21st), the Rangers (27th), the Padres (29th), are relatively strong. Because they're actually quite good teams, with intelligent ownership and the ability to put together strong rosters. Arguing that the Orioles and the Pirates should be there is like complaining that Jay Gibbons should win the HR title instead of Albert Pujols.
I know, I know. Reviewing the whole of MLB is 'cherrypicking', while going on and on about how the Orioles deserve a World Series despite being bad, and the Yankees don't deserve one despite being good, is insightful analysis.
I'm just continually impressed by the way you can ignore facts if they contradict your opinion, meanwhile pretending that your opinions should be treated like facts. It's like a skill, in the same way that Peter Angelos' ability to run a once-proud franchise into the ground is a skill.

Fun fact: Last year was the first time since 2004 that two MLB teams in the top 10 of payroll met in the World Series. It happened each year from 1999 to 2001, however.
Be seeing you,
Mayonnaise is a demanding master.
As I predicted, once again in 2010 team payroll has a strong correlation to whether a team is successful.
I just looked at the USA today team salary database and compared it to the standings. While the results are not as striking as some previous years, the pattern is a clear one. High payroll teams have a greater chance of being successful. Therefore large market teams have an advantage in MLB, as they have higher revenues and can afford a high payroll.
*Out of the top 12 payroll teams in MLB, 11 have a winning record. Repeat: 11 out of 12. Only the Cubs have a losing record out of the top payroll teams. (was that Lou Pinella retiring , or him getting pushed out the door?)
*Out of the bottom 13 payroll teams in MLB, only 4 have a winning record. The Padres, Toronto, the Reds, and the Rays.
The pattern is again a clear one. As it is every year. I can look at the payroll figures on USA today and pretty much tell which teams will be successful, with a few exceptions of course.
As for the Orioles, another disappointment today. I think it is time for the new manager to step in, within the next couple of weeks. We can't afford to wait until the end of the year.
But as an Orioles fan this argument doesnt work. Your team has the market size and the resources to spend just as much as other teams. Theyve even tried it in the past. There problem is ownership and bad decision making, not the MLB salary system.Originally Posted by bobby jr

Another lie, as was demonstrated above.Originally Posted by bobby jr
For a start, you missed out the Rangers, who are 27th in payroll, but have a .582 winning percentage. So 5 of the bottom 13 teams in payroll have a .500 winning percentage or higher. Three of those are the Pirates, the Royals, and the Orioles, who frankly don't seem to be trying to win. That leaves 5 out of 10. Which is half. Hmm.
In fact, the Rangers lead their division. Which means that if the playoffs started tomorrow, three of the eight teams would be from the lowest third of payroll teams. That's . . . more than 33%. Wow!
Second, the Mariners are ninth in payroll, but are well under .500. That's another you've missed. Did you read http://baseball.about.com/od/newsrum...ampayrolls.htm carefully?
Third, you claim this trend is clear, and is so every year. Which, as demonstrated above, is untrue. Low payroll teams have almost as much chance to reach the playoffs as high ones, and that includes no-hopers/no-triers like Kansas City, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore.
Fourth, how come you claim to be able to predict which teams would succeed, yet your previous predictions (see above) are so disastrously wrong?
Fifth, 'top 12' and 'bottom 13' are the very definition of selective endpoints. And you still haven't explained why you think low payroll teams should be able to win as often as high payroll teams!
You were right about something - the Orioles are woeful. Even here, however, you missed the point - a new manager won't be much except papering over the cracks.
Be seeing you,
Mayonnaise is a demanding master.
I did miss Texas on the bottom 13. However:Originally Posted by Saxmania
I said I was using the USA today database . Here is the link.
According to this listing the Seattle Mariners are 14th in payroll. Therefore they would not be in the "top 12" which I cited. Remember I said I was using the USA today salary database, not the link you cited. So the fact remains that 11 out of the top 12 payroll teams on the USA today site have winning records.
If that isn't a pattern of positive correlation between winning percentage and team payroll then I don't know what is.

Typical Bobby playing loose with "facts" again. Bobby you never fail to amuse here. A few weeks ago when people brought up TB, Texas and San Diego all teams either in first or in the playoffs that are small market teams, your response? "What have they won yet? A lot can happen between now and the end of the season". Fair enough, not a bad way to look at it.Originally Posted by bobby jr

Strange. Okay, you can have Seattle, even though the #1 Google page for 'MLB 2010 payroll', says they're 9th: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/salaries/teams. And the #2 page: http://baseball.about.com/od/newsrum...ampayrolls.htm.Originally Posted by bobby jr
Now explain to me how three of the eight playoff slots right now are being occupied by teams in the bottom third of payroll.
And remember when I said that three of the eight playoff slots right now are being occupied by teams in the bottom third of payroll, and two of the last six World Series attendees were in the bottom 25% of payroll. If that isn't competitive balance then I don't know what is.Remember I said I was using the USA today salary database, not the link you cited. So the fact remains that 11 out of the top 12 payroll teams on the USA today site have winning records.
If that isn't a pattern of positive correlation between winning percentage and team payroll then I don't know what is.
The point is that you are making future predictions about MLB that have been proven wrong - when you claim that 'small-market' teams can't compete (they can) and that they can't win a World Series (they can). Your ability to understand how the business of baseball works has been demonstrated to be near non-existent.Now as for digging up old quotations to show I was "wrong", sorry but I don't have the time to play that game and dig up old quotations of when I was right. Don't see the point of it. The thread isn't about me, it's about the Orioles and Major League Baseball.
Given that, when you make foolish statements about how competitive balance has been damaged by free agency, and how small-market teams can never again compete, we only have to look at your appalling record of inaccuracy to be confident that the reverse is probably the case.
An exception? But they don't count?Also I won't say you "lied" for saying I left Seattle out when I didn't. I know the difference between a mistake and a lie. You made a mistake. It would serve you better if you left out the pejorative statements in the future. They do not reflect well upon you, or what you post. Also they make me less likely to respond (although I made an exception this time).
I won't say you "lied" for missing out the Rangers either. But I will say that you lie because you continue to post that competitive balance is worse now than it used to be, because you continue to post that free agency has prevented small-market teams from competing, and because you continue to post that the Yankees are bad for baseball. All these statements have been demonstrated to be false, several times over, and not just by me.
I'll stop calling you a liar when you stop lying, in short. You can choose not to respond to posts that point out when you lie, but by doing so you prove yourself unable to accept facts in place of your own unproven prejudices.
I'm more than happy to have conversations about how Baltimore can get better, and how they can deal with the definite disadvantage of competing against two high-payroll teams and one smart teams in the same division. It's a challenge. I've never denied that.
If you're going to whine, and blame others for the misfortunes of your team, and mis-represent facts, and ignore statements to the contrary of your position when they are backed by those facts, and cast aspersions on others, then I'm going to call that what it is - lying.
This isn't a difference of opinions. This is one person refusing to admit that the facts contradict their precious opinion, and trying to deflect from it. The Orioles deserve a better advocate, and this forum deserves better conversation.
Be seeing you,
Mayonnaise is a demanding master.
It depends on what is being sold here..
If there is a thought process that having a higher payroll enhances the chance of a given team going to the playoffs, that I will buy.
But if you are selling more absolutes (that having a higher payroll guarantees anything, or that a lack of cap is ruining competitive balance) then nope, it's not true..

Well of course nothing is guaranteed.Originally Posted by aeromac76
But let's look at the Yankees for example. The Yankees have made the playoffs 14 out of 15 years, and they have by far the largest payroll in MLB. Their success is in large part to their ability to retain home grown talent by paying salaries high enough not to lose any players to free agency, to signing free agents themselves, and being able to afford expensive contracts other teams can not afford.
Is this competitive balance, having one team which has a record far above .500 each year? A team which is never out of running for the playoffs and usually makes the playoffs, and never has down cycles (at least since the early 90's?) I find it hard to escape the conclusion that the lack of a cap is causing competitive imbalances, at least in the AL East.
The Rays are of course the exception but it is quite unlikely they will have a run like the Yankees of being a winning team for 20 years.
The Braves also had a run of 14 out of 15 years in the playoffs....Originally Posted by bobby jr
If the question is whether or not small market teams can win, why are you looking at payroll? If market size is the isue, probably makes sense to look at market size. I wouldn't say a snapshot at a given point in time proves anything, but I would say that it provides useful evidence. Using this site, the smallest markets in mlb, in order from the smallest, are:Originally Posted by bobby jr
Tampa - winning record, currently in playoffs
Cincy - winning record, currently 0.5 games out of division and 1.5 out of WC
Pitt - losing record, completely uncompetitive
St. Louis - winning record, currently in the playoffs
Miami - .500 record, alive but not on the doorstep of playoffs
Minneapolis - winning record, currently 1 game out of playoffs
Oakland - winning record, alive but not on the doorstep of playoffs
Atlanta - winning record, currently in playoffs
KC - losing record, uncompetitive
Cleveland - losing record, uncompetitive
So, with the caveat that this a mid-season look at a single season, the evidence certainly suggests that small market teams can win and compete for playoff spots.
What you have said is true, but you cannot latch onto one team for competitive balance.Originally Posted by bobby jr
Competitive balance is a landscape based argument. If new trees are born and grow every year, you cannot simply point to the one that always stands above all else and say it's not worth it to keep planting seeds.
The fact is, the NFL and NBA both have salary caps in varying forms. And yet still, they have had fewer teams with their titles in the past 20 years. Baseball has fewer playoff spots than any other sport, and if you look at it commensurately, comparing spots available to teams in the game, it does not speak to competitive imbalance.
In the AL East, a division most look to to state their case for a salary cap, 60% of the teams there have appeared in the playoffs in the past 5 years. If things continue as they seem this year, 60% of AL East teams will be able to say they have claimed MULTIPLE playoff berths in the past 5 years.
AL Central, Indians, White Sox, Tigers and Twins. All teams with recent playoff spots. Only KC left out, that's 80%.
AL West, The Angels seem to be the one team that is dominant here. It's funny, the Angels hold the one AL monopoly of recent years and are never cited for the imbalance argument.
In this case, perception seems to be clouding reality.
Lead, Follow, or Get out of the Way
-George Steinbrenner, 1930-2010
No, it's not competitive balance. Given that teams have had similar success without payroll disparity, both in mlb and in the salary capped nfl, nba and nhl, the evidence suggests that competitive imbalance exists absent of any payroll disparity.Originally Posted by bobby jr
Interesting. I should have specified "small payroll" instead of "small market size", as they are not equivalent. There are other factors besides market size which would affect a team's ability to have a high payroll.Originally Posted by Mr. Mxylsplk
But the competitive problem still exists for the smaller payroll teams, in comparison to the high payroll teams, as a general rule. There is still a positive correlation between regular season winning percentage, and team payroll, in MLB.

I love how the argument has shifted from small market teams are at a disadvantage to small payroll teams are at a disadvantage.
If you own a big market team and get outspent by a small market team, maybe you need to figure out what you're doing wrong.
Grow up. I've not lied one time on the forum. In point of fact I pride myself on honesty. Also I post what I believe. Perhaps you are ignorant of what a "troll" is.Originally Posted by NelsonMuntz
If you have something to say that's on the Orioles that's worth worth posting , then say it. Otherwise, I'd suggest that you stay off the forum. Name calling and pejorative accusations have no place in a forum, but perhaps that is all you have to offer.

Hard to believe you'd let Sax's questioning of your integrity go unanswered- especially in the light of your daunting intellect and soaring grasp of debate and argumentation.
You bemoan people rehasing the whole salary cap/ MLB financial stucture argument time and time again yet are quick to repeat the same categorically disproven rhetoric.
This forum has long been and will continue to be "a place for reasoned polite, and rational discussion." Your tolerated participation over the years proves this point.
You're "out of here?" How predictable. A slew of arguments rise up to disprove your nonsense and you vanish. You'll be missed. Still, we both know you'll be back.

Fear Not! junior shan't be gone for long. He does this every time that Sax beats the crap out of him.
Yet again junior, the O's have a fantastic stadium in a fantastic part of Baltimore.
Unless you ARE Peter Angelos (which wouldn't surprise me at this point), you should, as one of the fifteen or sixteen Orioles fans left, be really mad at what happened to this once proud franchise.
I feel really bad for Brooks. I met him when I was just a youngster, and he was a very proud member of the Oriole Family.
Unfortunately for Brooks, that Family is now just a disjointed, dysfunctional heaping mound of angelo................. So sad.
Aww Bobby
Merry f'ing Christmas
Would it really have been that bad to post:
"Okay, look. I've probably over-stated the case for a salary cap in the past, and I've definitely been one of the (many) Orioles fans who have given Angelos too much trust and too much time. The state of this franchise pisses me off, and it's frustrating to watch other teams improve while Baltimore goes backwards. And sometimes that's probably led me to be very selective in using facts.
I do think that the current MLB economic model has some flaws, although I accept that they're probably not as serious as I've made them sound, and that alternative models like a salary cap have some flaws too. And being on a Yankee forum, I maybe target the Yankees too often as an example of a team doing well and having greater resources than mine.
But I do think there are arguments to be made for a different way of running MLB which would be good for everyone, not just the Orioles."
Oh. Apparently it would have been that bad. Never mind, then.

Another controversial Slab Wall route, this gymnastic line may be characterized as a vision of things to come, or a complete travesty. Certainly this route could be lead with natural gear, but for better or worse, the route has been fully bolted, and apparently 'comfortized', for your sport-climbing pleasure. If you can ignore the ethical issues, this route offers a unique hybrid of trad and sport climbing styles. Well developed jamming skills are necessary as are sport climbing techniques and finger strength. The crux hits right above the choss band with an intense ring lock, devious feet and sequential jamming. A traverse up and right leads to a bomber, sharp, finger-lock and the third bolt. From here things ease up to 5.11-ish hand jamming and the occasional 2-3-finger pocket. Fight the pump through good jams and some long reaches between pods to the anchor. Be sure to tape up your hands and many fingers for this bad-boy! This route's probably a soft-touch at 13a.
Second route from the right on the Slab Wall. Follows the most prominent bolted crack on the wall.
Bolts to 2 BA. If leading with gear, bring several small pieces to hand-sized cams. Beware that cams have diminshed holding power in polished limestone.
this is actually a pretty unique route because of its steepness. paul horack apparently tried it with gear in the 80's, it would be interesting to see if anybody is willing to hang on the painful locks and place their own gear. that might be the reason why it got bolted.
I think it was lead on gear but not by the coward that chopped it! This needs to stop if you don't like the bolts don't clip it! good for you it is only 5.13a and most of the people skipping bolts on hard routes these days take a picture and leave the rock alone for the rest of us to enjoy.
I agree I am not much of a crack climber and was excited to give this a try feeliing well protected so I wouldnt have to kill my hands or gear. Some one should go re bolt it! And like Lance said do it on gear if YOU want to.
More details in this saga...

10 Flats To Flitter and Frolic In This Summer « Read Less
We're friends right? So I can be honest with you? I kinda dislike Summer. Not the awesome parts, like swimming and BBQs and watermelon and USA summer shows, but mostly the fashion. I wear all black and I like to layer, and that's pretty hard in the sweltering heat. Even worse: I hate sandals. I just don't like them. I don't want my toes out in the world, okay? It's a personal choice. So in the spirit of solving my own problems, I've created a shopping guide of flats that are nimble and bright enough for summer, while still maintaining the modesty of the foot.
So if you have my same crazy, or if you just want an alternative to strappy sandals this Summer, click through the gallery and check out my picks. And be sure to let me know which tickles your tootsies in the comments.

Teen electrocuted while working on unplugged computer
Those who don't know about electronics assume that if you unplug a device, it becomes safe.
Perhaps that's what a teenager from Shawnee, Kan., might have thought when he reportedly worked on his family computer.
It was unplugged, yet the teen died in what seemed inexplicable circumstances.
According to KCTV-5, an autopsy revealed electrical burns on the unnamed teen's body, which experts conclude happened after he gained access to the computer's power supply.
He was reportedly stripping the computer down for parts.
Clearly, not all the details surrounding this case have been revealed. It is unclear … Read more

On December 3, 2012, at approximately 11:15 p.m., an unidentified adult female walked into the Beto's Restaurant demanding money from an employee with a pointed razor type knife or box cutter.
The suspect grabbed the employee by the arm and escorted her towards the cash register.
The employee walked around the counter following every instruction forcefully given by the suspect.
The Robbery Suspect remained on the other side of the cash register telling the employee, "You know what I want."
The employee now had the counter and cash register between her and the Robbery Suspect so she ran into the kitchen where other employees were working yelling "she has a knife."
The suspect turned around and headed out the exterior doors of the restaurant, where she jumped into the backseat of vehicle. The vehicle left the area at a high rate of speed.
The employee from the restaurant described the suspect, as a Caucasian female, brown hair, approximately 5' tall and a skinny build. According to witnesses the she was wearing a white hooded jacket and blue jeans.
The Saratoga Springs Detectives were able to review surveillance footage of the Robbery Suspect, as she was leaving the restaurant. The surveillance video has provided many answers to this case, but the Saratoga Springs Police Department would appreciate any public support with any information or knowledge of the suspect's identity.
The public is asked to call the Saratoga Springs Police Department at 801-766-6503 with any information. 3
