Comments about Sierra Designs DriDown Tov Jacket - Women's:
I love my new puffa down jacket, its so comfortable with or without layers underneath. It's just the right length for me too! It's perfect for southern California living, perhaps going a walk along the beach, when it sometimes gets cool around sunset and chilly at night in the winter. I haven't tried it in the rain yet, but I do plan to try it out in Scotland.....will keep ya posted!

Comments about Sierra Designs DriDown Tov Jacket - Women's:
I was so excited about this jacket. My old puffy finally wore out after 10+ years and I'd been excited about the new dri-down coming out. This jacket has everything going for it: light weight, hood (with adjustment strap), good pockets, long sleeves with thumb loops for hand coverage, dual direction zippers (great to unzip from the bottom when belaying). The only problem is that the massive and continual feather loss out weighs all these pros. I had to return it after one weekend. My car seat was covered in feathers, the layers I wore under and over it were covered in feathers, my tent was full of feathers. I hope they can fix this problem because this would be a GREAT jacket otherwise.

My favorite winter jacket. Needed something to keep the chill out. This was the ticket. Keeps me warm without being too hot. Lightweight and a fun color. Like the idea of the dry down that is much needed in the Seattle drizzle although have not used it that way yet.

The football game at City Stadium between JF and Heritage will now be held on Monday, 6:00 p.m. It will still be held at the Stadium.
The Liberty Minutemen found themselves in a familiar position this past Friday evening.
Martinsville had shocked the Minutemen by posting two quick touchdowns, just as Blacksburg had the weekend before.
While Liberty never really recovered from the Bruins' shock, the Minutemen found a way to revive themselves and rang up six unanswered touchdowns, en route to a 41-14 victory in front of the home crowd.
Quite frankly, this reporter was considering heading up to catch the second half of the Forest-Pulaski matchup after the Minutemen's anemic start.
What a great week it was to be me.
The Cubs clinched the NL Central on Saturday with a win over the hated Cards.
Also on Saturday, My Minnesota Golden Gophers moved to a 4-0 mark with a win over Florida Atlantic.
Then, my Bills move to 3-0 by edging the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
To top it off, I awoke Monday morning to find out I'm a part owner of AIG, along with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. With more to come!
Jefferson Forest jumps back into the Seminole fray when it heads to City Stadium for the second time this season. This time, the Cavs will face off with the Heritage Pioneers.
While Forest has become known for its defense and disciplined play, it certainly is not known for being a bunch of road warriors.
The trip to City Stadium, all 9.6 miles of it, is the furthest the Cavs have wandered from home this season. Their earlier trip was a smashing success when they topped Glass 20-0.
By Mike Forster
It'll be the Minutemen at the Golden Eagles' nest when two of our county teams square off this Friday evening at 7:30.
Staunton River will be trying to get the Liberty foot off its neck, where it has resided throughout this decade.
Additionally, the Golden Eagles will be trying to break their long losing streak, which is in danger of hitting the 20 game mark should they fall to Liberty.
The scoreboard said that Jefferson Forest had seven points to Pulaski County's 10. The board also said that there were no more ticks of the clock left for the Cavs, as they suffered their first loss of the season.
What the scoreboard didn't say is that Forest is a true force with which to be reckoned this season. The team is the smash-mouthiest of the smashers and its defense is tighter'n two coats of paint.
Of course, the Cougars' defense is nothing to sneeze at, either.
The fun part of the schedule is over.
The Bruins of Blacksburg threw a bucket of cold water into the collective face of the Liberty Minutemen and took a 28-13 victory.
Facing a tremendous quarterback and their own injury bug, the Minutemen found themselves down 14-0 before they even knew what hit them.
The Bruin (3-0) lead was established when signal caller Trey Gresh heaved two perfect pitches and both resulted in end zone celebrations.
Sigmund Freud would have been proud.
The Jefferson Forest football team used a fine second half to overcome the mental obstacle that was E.C. Glass. As a result, the Glass game looks to serve as a springboard for the Cavs' playoff aspirations. In recent years, the Glass game has served to derail such hopes.
"Last year stuck in my craw," said Cav Head Coach Don Rice, of the apple-cart upsetting loss to Glass. "The kids wanted to prove our first two wins were good wins and that we're a solid team."
Patrick County's John Harris showed why he is one of the most highly regarded running backs in Region IV. His performance last Friday evening in the Cougar's 33-7 win over Staunton River earned him loads of respect from those in Region III.
Harris posted a phenomenal 372 yards, averaging nearly 14 yards per carry. Touchdown runs of 65, 53 and 22 yards certainly didn't hurt that average.
"Every play was a potential long run," noted Staunton River Head Coach Rick Witt of the speedy senior.
A "must win" game four weeks into the season?
It looks that way for Liberty, when it takes on visiting Martinsville this Friday night.
Nobody associated with the Minutemen wants to start the district slate with a 2-2 mark (all remaining games for Liberty are Seminole skirmishes).
A win over Martinsville would give Liberty a 3-1 mark and accomplish the following:

There have been two main issues discussed at today's Associated Press's Legislative Lookahead: the education audit and prison overcrowding.
"As far as I'm concerned, we're at a crisis stage right now," corrections commissioner Jim Rubenstein told reporters. "We're capped. The pot is boiling over."
Rubenstein said on any given day, all 5,400 prison beds are filled and about 1,800 inmates who should be in prisons are held in regional jails.
Joe DeLong, the state's regional jails director, said regional jails also are overcrowded but the issue is directly related to overcrowding in prisons. If the state could keep all its prisoners in prison instead of using jails to house flow-over inmates, he said, the jails would no longer be overcrowded.
Senate Judiciary chairman Corey Palumbo, D-Kanawha, and Delegate Patrick Lane, R-Kanawha, agreed the legislature needs to tackle the problem, although they had different ideas about how to accomplish those goals.
One thing they agree on, however, is that any attempt to change our prison system will cost money.
It also could save a bunch of money, too.
Last month the Justice Reinvestment Initiative, a project of the Justice Center at the nonprofit Council of State Governments, released its recommendations for overhauling the state prison system. The workgroup estimated its proposals would save West Virginia $116.3 million in operational costs between now and 2018, mostly by avoiding the construction of a new prison.
I'm working on a full story about prison overcrowding now, including comments from House and Senate leadership. I'll post that here as soon as it's finished. In the meantime, click here to watch a live-stream of the event.

"Chapter 5: Jesus Made the Earth," Gospel Fundamentals, 19
Who made the earth? Why did He make it?
We Needed an Earth
Part of the plan that our Father in Heaven explained to us in heaven was for us to leave heaven for a time. We needed a place to go, away from His presence, to receive bodies of flesh and bones and to be tested to show whether we would make correct choices. He needed to have someone make this place for us. He chose Jesus to do it.
Jesus Made the Earth
Jesus made the earth. He made the day and the night. He made the sun, the moon, and the stars. He separated the water from the dry land and made seas, lakes, and rivers. He planted grass, trees, flowers, and all other kinds of plants on the earth. Then He put animals, fish, birds, and insects on the earth. When Jesus had done all this, the earth was ready for people to live on it.
Our Father in Heaven then made a man and a woman. The man was named Adam, and the woman was named Eve. They each had a body of flesh and bones like the body of our Father in Heaven. All of this work of making the earth and placing living things upon it is called the Creation. Our Father in Heaven was pleased with the earth and all the things He had instructed Jesus to place on it.
Heavenly Father's Creations Show He Loves Us
We are now living in the beautiful world that our Father in Heaven instructed Jesus to make. The sun gives us warmth and light. The rain makes the plants grow and gives us water to drink. The plants and animals on the earth provide food and clothing for us.
Jesus made all these things for us, under our Father in Heaven's direction. When we see that He had all these things made for us, we realize that our Father in Heaven loves us and cares for us.
• Think of some of the things our Father in Heaven had made for us.
• How do we know our Father in Heaven loves us and cares for us?
We Can Show We Are Grateful for the Earth
We should always remember that our Father in Heaven had everything on the earth made for us. He is not happy when we do not remember that. We can show Him that we are grateful by using wisely the things on the earth. We should not waste anything on the earth. We should care for the earth and keep it clean. We should thank our Father in Heaven for this beautiful world when we pray to Him. We also show Him we are grateful for the earth by doing the things He wants us to do here.
We Needed an Earth
• Isaiah 45:18 (God made the earth for mankind to live on.)
• 2 Nephi 2:15 (God made the earth as a part of His plan for us.)
Jesus Made the Earth
• Isaiah 45:12; Hebrews 1:1–3 (Jesus made the earth under our Father in Heaven's direction.)
Heavenly Father's Creations Show He Loves Us
• Genesis 1 (God made all things on the earth for us.)
• Romans 8:38–39 (Nothing can separate us from the love of God.)
We Can Show We Are Grateful for the Earth
• Ephesians 5:20 (We should thank God for all things.)
• Mosiah 2:20–25 (We should thank God, who made us.)
Jesus created a beautiful earth for us.

Comments about Pearl Izumi All-Road Bike Shoes - Women's:
Bought these shoes because they're SPD compatible, and I already had SPD pedals because I'm more used to mountain biking than road biking -- plus, they have pink trim on them! :-) They fit great and are very easy to walk in. I have wide feet, and even though I went 1/2 size larger, they feel a bit tight in the toe area, but the velcro allows a wide range of adjustments. Good pull on hills, but I'd prefer something a bit more rigid with less motion in the shoe. Can't comment on wear yet because I've had the shoes for only a couple of months, but I've done some long, hard rides in them, and they're overall great.

Comments about Pearl Izumi All-Road Bike Shoes - Women's:
I can't wait to get on my bike and try them out. The one down-fall I have is my left shoe is too big. The right shoe fits fine. I am a size 7 1/2, I would love a size 39 for my left foot and keep the size 40 for my right foot. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, I would trade one shoe with you as long as they haven't been used other than trying them on and walking around the house like I did for a few minutes. I can be reached at [@] IF interested in a size 40 left shoe in trade for a size 39 left shoe. Tina

Comments about Pearl Izumi All-Road Bike Shoes - Women's:
I am new to road biking and clipless pedals and wasn't ready to commit to a full on, ultra stiff road bike shoe with a slick sole and external cleats, so these were a good starter shoe for me. They are a big upgrade from the running shoes I used to wear with the platform pedals on my old hybrid bike - the sole is much stiffer which, combined with the SPD clip-on pedals on my new bike, makes a huge difference in pedaling efficiency and foot comfort over the long haul. Plus, they are super comfortable and easy to walk in due to recessed cleats and tread on the bottom (nice if you want to get off your bike to run an errand or something). They do run small, however. I'm a women's size 7.5, usually take a 38 or 39 in Euro sizes but needed a 40 in this shoe.
Best Uses
Comments about Pearl Izumi All-Road Bike Shoes - Women's:
I tried on a lot of road bike shoes, and this pair stood out as the most comfortable. I normally wear a 39, but had to go with a 40, but they fit like a glove. I got the cycling shop people to install my cleats onto the shoes, but the cleats themselves were easy to adjust to my riding position. I wish they had a better binding system than the velcro closure, but it works well, and for [$], you can't beat the quality of these shoes!

Comments about Pearl Izumi All-Road Bike Shoes - Women's:
This is a nice shoe except the sole is softer than most Pearl Izumi shoes. It would be best for the beginner or very casual cyclist.

Professional athletes are not the only ones who have a hard time leaving their competitive days behind. It can be equally as difficult for collegiate athletes.
Priscilla Collings of Cal State San Bernardino and Sarah Semenero of Cal Poly Pomona are enjoying one last shot in the competitive spotlight. Both women exhausted their eligibility in a sport where they helped their respective teams to national prominence.
They are playing soccer this fall while finishing up their final, few classes. Each competed in soccer growing up but left the sport behind after high school to focus on the other.
"When I got out there again it felt strange. It took awhile to get the feel back," Semenero said. "Sometimes I still feel like a fish out of water, but it's getting easier every day."
They were stars in their other sport. Collings, a 5-foot-10 outside hitter, totaled
303 kills for a Coyotes volleyball team that finished as NCAA Division II national runner-up and had a 32-1 record.
Semenero played for a Broncos basketball team that reached the national quarterfinal in 2011, her junior year. She averaged 13.5 points and 5.6 rebounds as a senior and left ranking fourth on the school's all-time list for 3-pointers.
They also were All-CCAA selections.
Collings, a native of Chula Vista just outside of San Diego, played two years of volleyball at Seattle Pacific before transferring to Cal State for her junior year. She didn't know playing soccer was an option until volleyball coach Kim Cherniss mentioned it to her after a compliance meeting right before her senior season of volleyball.
"She was so happy at the thought she started crying," Cherniss recalled. "I knew how much it meant to her."
Collings went to a couple of soccer games, although it was difficult with volleyball going on at the same time. She often stopped by the office of soccer coach Travis Clarke to visit and remind him she was interested.
"I knew I wasn't ready for my competitive days to be over," she said. "I thought I still had something in me to give."
Semenero, a native of Sonoma, stumbled back into soccer by accident as well. She was in a study hall monitored by Jim Barlow, an assistant to Broncos head coach Isabelle Harvey.
Barlow noticed the San Francisco Giants shirt Semenero was wearing and they began talking about her Northern California roots. The conversation eventually turned to the prestigious club soccer program for which she had played.
The rest is history.
"I didn't know how good I would be since I hadn't played since high school, but I figured I had nothing to lose," she said. "I was nervous at first but the girls were all great."
Both women have exceeded their soccer coach's expectations.
Junior Chelsey Jones was the Coyotes' starting goalkeeper, but Collings was pressed into action when Jones injured her ankle against Cal Poly on Sept. 7.
Collings has emerged as one of the top goalkeepers in the CCAA with a conference-best save percentage of .889 and a 0.57 goals-against average that ranks second. She has given up three goals, and one of those came on a penalty kick.
Jones has been stellar too, with an .818 save percentage and 0.72 goals-against average in almost the same minutes, making for a formidable duo.
Clarke said the skills that made Collings a standout in volleyball translate well to the soccer field.
"She has great lateral movement and jumping ability," he said. "And she's diving for balls pretty much the same way she did on the court. From the minute I saw her play volleyball I knew she would be good but I didn't know she would be this good this fast."
Semenero had played an attacking position in soccer, but Harvey has used her as a defender. Semenero played sparingly early in the season but has started three of the last four games.
"Coming over from basketball she has always been in good shape," Harvey said. "She works well for us there because of her height. She is going to win a lot of balls. Now she's just using her feet instead of her hands."
Clarke and Harvey said their players' experience in pressure situations has benefited their teams.
They said they didn't want to take anything for granted and were hesitant in taking on a leadership role for a team in which they were the newcomer, but the coaches say the players earned the respect of their peers just by their work ethic and have brought a new dynamic.
"The biggest thing Kim (Cherniss) stressed since the day I got here is that you walk out there expecting to win," Collings said. "That's the mentality I try and bring and stress to the other girls.
"You can never go out there thinking you're going to lose."

Tasty Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe
The recipe for this yummy lemon pie comes from my grandmother. It's a lovely, special dessert that feels like "home."Merle Dyck, Elkford, British Columbia
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- Pinch salt
- 2 cups cold water
- 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 3 egg whites
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches), baked
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in water until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.
- Remove from the heat. Gradually stir 1 cup hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in lemon juice, peel and butter until butter is melted. Set aside and keep warm.
- For meringue, in a small bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved.
- Pour filling into crust. Spread meringue over hot filling, sealing edges to crust. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour; refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Yield: 8 servings.

This recipe does NOT call for enough thickener, egg yolks and calls for 1/2 cup too much water...which means it does not thicken properly. What a waste of time!! Now I have to start all over again
Reviewed Mar. 24, 2012
This is a really good recipe for sure. I don't like really tart lemon meringue pie's so this is good because it's more tame on the tart. But I would have to say it needs to be bigger because it is not enough filling for a large pie crust. But flavor is yummy for sure.
Reviewed Apr. 15, 2010
This is a good pie, I would like to have a more lemoning flavor though and more filling, It seemed as though not enough filling for a deeper pie dish, but overall it was good
Reviewed Nov. 29, 2008
this is a very shcumpish cake you should try it.

This product provides comfort for the dog. The life jacket that I replaced had only straps under the belly which looked very uncomfortable. This jacket has padding under the straps. This Jacket also makes it easy for the dog to move without chafing. Just what I was looking for. Very well made and durable.

By Jaclyn Shambaugh Staff writer
Terry Drushal, a coordinator with the Village Christian lacrosse program, is hoping lacrosse will take off in the Fayetteville area the way it has in recent years across the country.
U.S. Lacrosse has long been reporting that the fast-paced sport is one of the fastest-growing team sports in the country, with a 138-percent increase at the youth level over the last decade.
With that in mind, the school is hosting a Village All-American Lacrosse Jamboree today at Village Christian Academy beginning at 11 a.m.
A number of varsity and junior varsity teams will be in action, including teams from Village Academy and Village Baptist Church's community team.
Varsity squads from Cary Christian, Havelock, Topsail, New Bern, Pittsboro Northwood and Pitt County Schools will be on hand for the jamboree.
Scrimmages between the teams will start every half hour from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public.
This is the second lacrosse jamboree Village has hosted. Drushal said five teams were exhibited last year and that Village based its jamboree on a similar event held by the now defunct Triton High School program.
Drushal said a feeder program is vital for a successful high school league.
"I think Triton did not have a feeder program," she said. "So there was nothing in their area, no middle school team or no parks and recreation that would feed into their high school. Unfortunately, the numbers just started twindling, even though they really had a good team."
Village, which is in its fifth year of fielding a lacrosse team, has recently begun working with Fayetteville-Cumberland Parks and Recreation and with Fort Bragg Youth Sports to run a lacrosse program to introduce youth players to the sport.
Drushal said people in attendance at the jamboree who express an interest in lacrosse will be directed to join the youth program.
"Here in Fayetteville, we're having the opposite situation (from Triton), which is a really good thing," Drushal said. "Every single year, the number of players at Village has doubled. It's increased just about 100 percent every year the program has been in existence."

Asian single Chunfeng from Nanning, China personal profile
Age: 47 Lady's ID: 26341 |
Chunfeng is Gemini (May 21st – June 20th)
The Gemini woman will be forever hungry for new experiences. Her imagination is fertile, her curiosity insatiable, and her child-like wonder infectious. Time spent with her is never dull. Chunfeng will charm you with stories of things she has seen and done. She is a natural in just about any social situation and is likely to have a seemingly enormous circle of friends and acquaintances. The one thing a Gemini woman cannot tolerate is boredom. Chunfeng thrives on change, excitement and surprises, so if you want to be with her, you must never be too predictable. Thankfully, she doesn't have a materialistic bone in her body, so when it comes to gifts, it will always be the thought behind them that matters to her. Because of her need for never-ending stimulation, a Gemini woman will always be up for something unexpected in the bedroom. She will never be uncomfortable discussing even the most intimate topics, and in fact, lively sexual conversation is likely to turn her on even more. Again, the caution here is that you must continually mix things up to keep her happy. Too much of any thing, even a very good thing, is never going to satisfy this woman.

It is embarrassing that we are offering RA Dickey a contract that will pay him in 3 years what Zach Greinke is getting in 1
RA over the past 3 years >>> Zach over the past 3 years
News coming in from the Mets Holiday Party where R.A. Dickey and Sandy Alderson have much to say…
"I feel like we are asking for less than what is fair."
Dickey also said the two sides are still far apart. He admits it's hard not to feel insulted by the pace, distance of negotiations.
Dickey feels he's extended an "olive branch" to the Mets. Says it's been hard not to take things personally.
He also said he would be upset if Mets ask him to play out last year at $5 million with no extension.
Sandy Alderson acknowledges he does expect the 2013 Opening Day roster to look similar to the end of 2012.
I guess it's okay to say I told you so… I never believed there would be significant changes for a second.
This is a disheartening development to say the least.
These are not rumors…
These are actual direct quotes from Dickey and Alderson themselves…
I take no pleasure in reporting this… This is sad…
Original Post 9:00 AM
According to Andy Martino of the Daily News, the Mets have increased their contract extension offer to R.A. Dickey to two-years for $20 million dollars.
Dickey has been asking for a two-year extension for approximately $26 million, totaling $31 million over three years. The Mets now are closer to a three-year deal worth $25 million total.
This would put Dickey and the Mets only $5 million apart.
On the trade front, the Mets have not gotten and better offers for Dickey as many believed would happen after Zack Greinke signed and James Shields came off the table. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports adds that a deal to send Dickey to the Rangers is unlikely.
"While we're waiting for a better trade offer, we're also still exploring bringing R.A. back," Alderson said.
I've already mentioned many times the different reasons why teams are reluctant to trade for Dickey, so I wont keep repeating myself. But I will say that the front office has clearly misread the market for their 38-year old ace.
Mike Kerwick of Newsday says, "it's doubtful another team would hand the Mets a prospect as glittery as Myers."
My gut tells me that given the small disparity in dollars, a deal could get done before the end of the week. Maybe then, the front office can start focusing on all the other things that still need to be addressed on this roster, but have gone widely ignored.
I'm a lifelong Mets fan who loves writing and talking about the Amazins' 24/7. From the Miracle in 1969 to the magic of 1986, and even the near misses in '73 and '00, I've experienced it all - the highs and the lows. I started Mets Merized Online in 2005 to feed my addiction. Follow me on Twitter @metsmerized.
It is embarrassing that we are offering RA Dickey a contract that will pay him in 3 years what Zach Greinke is getting in 1
RA over the past 3 years >>> Zach over the past 3 years
If he was younger, didn't throw a knuckle ball and had a resume longer than a couple years, he would be in a much stronger position.
so i guess getting rid of K-Rod and his 17.5 mil option really made no difference
One has nothing to do with the other. You know that.
Whatever it takes to get this f***ing thing done and overwith is fine with me. I dont even care anymore. This team is killing me.
He'll get $24 million for a two-year extension, if they don't trade him….
As I said yesterday, it has nothing to do with the money. The only reason the Mets haven't came together and split the two sides for around 3/29-30 total is they don't want to sign him yet. They don't have to sign him yet. They hold all the cards and are doing the right thing by waiting to see if a team panics and trades an impact player. I know it's hard but why can't we as fans be patient for once?
i tip my hat for you sir
No argument from me on this. And I'm willing to bet Dickey and his agent understand this as well, giving all the comments TRDM latest post has up referencing those.
Sure he does, that is why he said he did at the beginning of the process. What makes Dickey nervous as hell though is that he has no control over where he is traded which is most likely why he is pushing so hard to stay with the Mets. Also, while it hasn't been mentioned, I still think a NTC will be part of the deal if signed.
Then tell Dickey, Alderson and Dickey's agent to shut up. Just respond with we are making progress…
Agree. Alderson was patient (more than many fans) when dealing Beltran and got a very good return in Wheeler!
I agree. Imagine where we would be if it wasn't for Wheeler?!?! We probably would have lost 100 games in 2012 if it wasn't for Wheeler.
Agreed, it's easy to forget that everyone was saying there was no way in hell the Mets could get Wheeler for Beltran and being patient helped. But I say in this case there is even less risk in waiting then there was then.
Apples and Oranges…..
Patience worked then because of a DEADLINE…
There is no deadline at play here….
In fact any team who wants him have until the July Trade deadline to get him and are more likely to wait until then because they will at least know if the season is worth mortgaging prospects for by then.
I said it before and I will say it again….
Dickey is worth what he is worth to them and no amount of signs/trades is going to change a teams evaluation and trade value on Dickey.
Only thing that could possibly increase his value right now is extending him to a reasonable or cheap contract that would negate the issue of losing comp picks because they know he can't go anywhere after the trade.
But this notion that Patience is going to get you more for Dickey is just a fools errand.
Metsie, most Mets fans as you know are saps. Lets not pretend that Sabean was desperate and that was the number one reason the team went down. If Beltran was a Padre, Royal, Twin or Brewer, they all would have gotten Wheeler for Beltran. But we need to feed the myth that Alderson is a genius, when in fact he is one losing season away from setting the modern MLB record for most losing seasons in a row by a GM. As they say in Liverpool, genius my arse..
He's no genius at all and has more screw-ups here than successes. We can debate why that is or the situations. However, I don't see the need to try and dampen one of the things he clearly got right.
Did he get it right? Or was it more like he just didn't get it wrong?
As Maniac stated if Beltran was on another team they get more than just Wheeler out of it….
Imagine Oakland making a one for one deal like that….Never happens!
Truth is they should have gotten at least another kid out of it….Especially since they didn't pay a penny of Beltran's salary.
I go even further Maniac….
If Beltran was on any of those other teams they would have gotten even MORE than just Wheeler….
Maybe all it would have been was one Minor B or C Level prospect but there would have been more than just Wheeler….
Sandy misplayed his hand badly there and truth was his Patience lost to his Panic and desire to avoid having to negotiate with Beltran where he was already worried about the ramifications of turning down Reyes and not negotiating which was already on his agenda.
If he had held out another day or two he might have gotten that extra player for Beltran….
To be fair…Beltran did turn down at least one trade ( to cleveland ), not sure what players/prospects we were set to get from them
Beltran was also being picky as to where he went, so the mets didnt have the leverage they had with Wright ( which we wasted ) and Dickey ( still in the air )
I'm more upset over them trading K-Rod and using that money on Jeff Wilpon's next yact payment
It was 3 prospects from Cleveland and Kipnis wasn't one of them. Gary Cohen said it was 3 lower level prospects but no names were given but he did say it wasn't for any of their top prospects Chisenhall, Santana or Kipnis. Other names mentioned were Domonic Brown and Mike Minor.
And I believe the Pirates were in and Beltran nixed that idea.
"In fact any team who wants him have until the July Trade deadline to get him and are more likely to wait until then because they will at least know if the season is worth mortgaging prospects for by then."
You are forgetting something you preach, ticket sales.
Also with the new collective bargaining agreement the acquiring team will only get compensation if they trade for him before the season starts. That is a big consideration.
Other teams don't seem to have the attendance issues we do….
So it's not really a factor in thier thinking because it's not a problem to them.
If they believe they are close enough to sell off high prospects to get a 38 Year old then they already have whatever it is they need to draw and are only looking to get more from Playoff appearances which they can get from dickey after the July deadline just as well.
When they are clearer on if they are even good enough to make the playoffs if only they had one more pitcher….
OK well if you think that other teams sales would not increase if they added a current CY Young winner then yeah that point is moot. I would disagree.
I didn't say it wouldn't help Ticket Sales, Just that any team who really feels they need a guy like Dickey and are willing to give up the kids we want already has a pretty good attendance rate making the extra attendance from April – July not as important to them to entice them to give up more kids.
Especially since they don't know what will happen and one injury to a key player could kill,the whole season even if they HAD Dickey!
The teams who will give up prospects for Dickey are ALREADY GOOD, ALREADY DRAW…
It's a real non factor in what they will give up now…
Would you consider Olt a top prospect? Because already know that offer is on the table, the Mets just want more. So the idea that they can't get a top prospect for him isn't true. There is also a rumor that there is another standing offer on the table as well that includes a top prospect. The Mets, though rightfully so, aren't going to trade Dickey for just one player yet.
Sure he is a Prospect….And highly desirale to someone who needs a 3B….
We just signed one through 2020!
And do we really need to give away a Cy Young Pitcher to get yet another IF we need to convert to an OF?
Don't we have enough of those already?
Thats why Olt by himself is probably not enough…
He's not realy an OF just another good bat that doesn't really playe the position we need te bat for!
That's not the point. Is Olt regarded as a top prospect?
Top 3B prospect….do we need one of those more than a Cy Young Pitcher?
It's VERY relevant….
Just having kids is pointless unless the solve something on the MLB side…
This kid does not!
One trade in three years due to his patience!!!. And you laud him for that. This team will deteriorate until he his the one gone.
its still 2012 and the mets dont look to cut crap , selling high or keep him and then they will pay him . Lets fpcus on the Giants and Knicks for now maybe the nets if you want . The Jets ??? sorry the jets are a joke , you can not even compare the jets and the mets . i like to compare the mets with the 1999 some knicks
exactly. And it does not mean Sandy "misread the market" rather, he would rather (rightly) extend RA than trade him for "market", with market being what a number of teams throw out as a first, no-brainer offer.
and remember, every year for most of these guys, there is a perceived "market value" for them, and it seems that one team ends up blowing that price away. So since for a rare time the Mets are in the drivers seat, they should be trolling the bait looking for that one guy to panic and cough up the goods.
it might be different if the Mets were in some kind of corner where they basically had to trade him for the best offer they can get. But, they are not there, since the Mets are not really comparing their best trade offer to the next best one, rather to the extension.
" And it does not mean Sandy "misread the market" rather, he would rather (rightly) extend RA than trade him for "market", with market being what a number of teams throw out as a first, no-brainer offer."
Bingo, if they are not blown away then they will sign him to a deal that they are perfectly comfortable with. If you sign or trade him right away then you will have caved in a situation where time is on your side.
No one is going to panic about not getting a 38 Year old Knuckleballer…..NO ONE!
Then they will re-sign him for a contract no worse than market value or below.
Even the number Dickey has asked for does that…
They should just stop nickle and diming him and extend him and THEN I bet the price goes up!
It also extends the deadline for trading him because the whole Comp Pick thing goes away and they know if they trade him and find they were wrong about thier playoff chances they can turn around and get back a prospect or two to replace the ones they gave away at the July Trade Deadline.
But teams have locked in one what they are willing to give for Dickey and no signings or trades of other players is going to make anyone adjust that evaluation…
Sign Dickey now and when they do you get even more than you get now!
The only BAD scenario here is not signing Dickey and letting him walk for Picks next season….
Cause those picks could be 2nd rounders the way they were with Reyes and those picks are hardly ever the top IMPACT guys he is holding out for now.
teams sure as heck "panic" about going into the season short of top of the rotation SP, if they think they are serious post season contendors, and Dickey right now is the best known to be on the market.
and they will not be signing him to an extension then turning around and trading him. Most likely the deal will contain a NTC to go with team friendly terms, but this also is not something that is done. really bad form, and would burn the team (and PO the uniion). If they sign him, they are keeping him at minimum to the trade deadline, and most likely all season, even without a NTC.
I agree that it's a fallacy to think that teams will for sure not up their offer when other options come off the board.
You forget one thing….
What they offer is based on what they (the Mets) can get for Dickey someplace else, Not how many FA options are left on the board!
Only way to get anyone who has Dickey penciled in as a fall back plan to up thier offer is to find someone willing to give up MORE for Dickey that would kill their ability to fall back….
And you could get that at the deadline just as easily as you could get that now!
Any team that desperate is not interested in making a deal of kids for ONE 38 Year old player!
If they are desperate for ONE top of the rotation starter then they probably suck and would prefer to keep the kids to rebuild instead….
Only a team who thinks they are ONE PITCHER AWAY from the playoffs will give you a top prospect…And if they are only ONE pitcher away then they have 4 outher guys who are close enough or qualified to start the season off as thier TOP ROTATION arm!
Your just sufferring from wishful thinking here…
If you had a Gio Gonzales you might get some bites…But not on a 38 Year old Knuckleballer who isn't even signed past October!
Ultimately they may re-sign him and that might be the best move but for now what is hurt by waiting. Also, I still think that Dickey will request a NTC in the deal before he signs an extension and the new deal will most likely rip up the 2013 deal and include a NTC.
Whats hurting to wait?
How about all those reasonably priced OFs that are out there we COULD be negotiating and snapping up if we were not spending all our time trying to trade Dickey or pry another 5-10 Mil from his asking price?
Unfortunately Metsie when the off-season began they said they would wait until the end for the OF market. Nothing to do with Dickey.
Thats because they were hoping to get it via trads of Wright and Dickey and they intended to fill in with the same cheap crap they have been filling with the last two years….
Instead of going after the <2Mil per Baxter's and Hairstons of the world they should just take the money they saved on Wright and spend 6-8 Mil on a decent OFer instead.
Why aren't they doing that?
Preoccupation with trying to pry OF for Dickey and it's Dickey that is taking up the majority of thier time and attention…
Get it over with he is a steal even at the price he is asking for!
Then move on and start looking at OF while you still HAVE a decent choice of Mid Level OFs and if things change on thew Dickey trade front you at least have decent depth on the bench with that guy you got.
So then why extend him? Let him play out his contract and move on if no one wants him.
5 Million dollars? So David Wright and Johan Santana would give up a few vacation days… and the deal is done!
Give credit where credit is due. Lets not forget that Sandy Alderson brought us our franchise's first no-hitter and he also brought us our first 20 game winner in 25 years. Oh wait… Nevermind.
Actually, Sandy does get credit for having Dickey now on a favorable deal. It was an excellent move to sign him for multiple years at the terms he did.
Yes but do you think Omar Minaya who has loved Dickey since both were with the Rangers, wouldn't have kept Dickey as well after being the only GM in baseball to give him the opportunity to excel?
Any GM at the time would have resigned Dickey, Omar was fired before he could do it…
will never know since he got canned, but most likely. what we also will never know is what the deal would have looked like.
We sure do know what it would look like…THE SAME!
There was no haggling or negotiations involved…
Dickey handed them a sweetheart deal and they took it and ran…
He was unproven and knew it and didn't ask for the moon….
Now he is proven and he is also on a MISSION to make the Knuckleball become a LEGITIMATE PITCH with the proper respect it is due!
Go see Knuckleballer!
Saw the movie Knuckleball a couple of weeks ago. Really enjoyed it.
Actually if you look at the reports at that time, the prevailing wisdom was that the Mets overpaid for Dickey and that Alderson paid him too much. There were questions if he could repeat in 2011 what he did in 2010.
There was no sweetheart deal on Dickey's part. Stop letting your dislike for Alderson cloud the facts.
Ahh Mr "Gets everything Backwards" has arrived…..
Tell me which Pitcher with 11 Wins and a 2.84 ERA signed an FA contract that paid him less than 5 Mil?
Overpaid…You really who do a service to your reputaion if you read and stopped posting this SAND PEOPLE/MONEYBALL crap you keep spewing around here….
If omar loved dickey so much how come dickey was the first cut in the 2010 spring training?
Because he hadn't pitched that one hitter in the Minors that got him noticed yet…..
Watch Knuckleball….
Tells the whole story on him.
Pretty good math by you
Well this is all you need to know:
Adam Rubin @AdamRubinESPN
Sandsy Alderson acknowledges he does expect the 2013 Opening Day roster to look similar to the end of 2012.
Let's pack it in boys no more use speculating. See ya in 2014.
Bwah ha ha ha hah! LMAO I hope we get to see him making that quote on camera. It may be time for me to make a Fan Shot!
To reiterate what I said last night in another article, I'm beginning to suspect that Sandy Alderson is asking for a lot more back for Dickey than what is let on, hence trying to get a haul for Scott Hairston at the trade deadline. Instead, he should be keeping it simple. You have Texas, who's rich in pitching depth. Like the package I proposed, the Mets should be focusing on a return for a RH bat for the OF and big pieces for the bullpen that would make it strong & steady for the first time in years. The name of the game is pitching, no?
Well then you know Dickey is fightng for much more than his own financial well being….
He is fihting to legitimize a Pitch that has been looked down on and dissed since it was first used.
Thats a very telling thing when you realize he is STILL giving you a cheap deal just one that is what any LEGITIMATE pitcher would get…
i think RA is a intelligent person. He cannot feel insulted. I mean its no secret that only the BIG STARS and the TOP ROOKIES are handled like eggs. Its a business and he knows it . Calm down, shut your mouth RA, and prepare to pitch good for your new team or for the mets again, cause thats what you get paid for . Its not that this business is new, you could fill a book every year with the players storys about left town after practice and play for another team the next night. thats the mlb
What happened with A.J. Pierzynski?
Why in the world would A. J. come?
Because due to his past he is regarded as one of the most hated men in baseball and there isn't really any team even rumored to have offered him anything yet?
So then we should say, hey because no one wants you and no one wants us lets get together and burn the place down?
Ugh, I guess?
He's been one of the most hated men in baseball for the past 10 years…and yet every year a team finds it in their best interests to have him on their team.
Do you want 25 nice guys or a team that wins ?
Geez, I thought the story of the '86 Mets was "The Bad Guys Won."
You want A.J. to be nice?! I thought maybe we'd want him b/c he banged 27HRs last year at 35, and b/c he's a very good defensive catcher. Other than those, no reasons…
So Sandy, you lied. Plain and simple.
Doesn't change my plans any….. still not buying a ticket.
Then so what? Go away and wait for the bandwagon to get crowded.
You can pay for garbage if you like. Keeps the 1 percent richer…
Its fans like you that Fred banks on. You are willing to support this festering cess-pool of suck because you're a prideful "DIE HARD" fan. Whatever.
No, but I'm not going to say stupid things like "I don't buy tickets anyway".
Fuch you Alderson.
Good productive comment. Really glad I got to read that.
But wait. Did Dickey actually say he "Feels Insulted" or did he simply say, right or wrong,
he was "….asking for less than what is fair."
One could argue he's asking for MORE than what is fair, but that's for the market to decide.
To preface his actual quote with "Feels Insulted" is completely ingenuous.
I agree, that's not what the agent said in public.
"I'm not comfortable talking to dollars, but I don't mind saying we're doing everything on our end to be fair. I don't think we're being unfair, and I think Sandy is trying to do the same as well." –
NJ did a great job of compiling all the comments made by RA's agent.
Yeah, I didn't read 'insult' in any of those quotes either.
I dont get your question?
There's a difference, I think, between a man being "insulted" by the reported $ offers and a man who believes, in good faith, he's worth more than the Mets are offering given market conditions. When you imply that he's "insulted", you also imply a lot of other negativity that probably doesn't exist.
No, he didn't say that. People are interpreting and presenting it that way, because it fits the story line.
If he did say that, don't you think the quote would have been presented in the original post? Usually, when someone makes a statement like that, we at least get see the tweet it appeared in. When it is a line that needs a little nudge in the right direction to fit the narrative, it doesn't appear. Wouldn't want people to see what was actually said and draw their own conclusions.
I'm done with Alderson. We wasted three offseasons only to be worse than we were three years ago. We don't even have an outfield anymore. How is that possible?
Hi D. Meeker,
Why is it that we can have no outfield this season? Sandy traded away two all-stars, that's why.
Hate to say this because nobody wants to hear it, but Valdespin is having a nice winter ball season. Sign Cody Ross and with Valdy, Duda, Kirk and Baxter we have a productive outfield.
Well hopefully he comes out with a little trade value if he can get out of his own way.
I'd like nothing better than to see Valdespin turn the corner and be able to hit ML pitching at a constant pace. That and he grows up a little and leaves that hot temper behind.
So it's one of two things: We STILL have no money and our GMs hands are tied or our GM is such a miser, he won't part with money that his bosses are giving him to spend.
Joe I transcribed what Cerrone was questioning. It's at minute 26 of the interview:
Francessa: "Considering the look of your OF and C situation, can the Met fan expect to see wholesale changes in those areas or will they have to except subtle change".
Alderson: "In the outfield and behind the plate"
Francessa: "Yea"
Alderson: "Much more likely there will be significant change in those areas verses subtle changes. Simply because you have to look at the record and see what kind of production we have gotten from those positions".
Francessa "Zero"
Alderson: "Recognize that there is not a lot of capacity for progress there. We know what we got and it is not championship caliber".
Alderson said it will likely come from trades opposed to FA and that a big FA signing was unlikely.
Signing him to a two year extension plus his option means he is basically a 3/$30M or $10M a year. At the pace which salaries are inflating, we will seen this as a bargain in a year or two even if he is only a #3 pitcher at that point.
REPOSTED from thread "Left at Alter:" I told you so:
Dickey should just say "Lets reach an agreement" or "trade me already if you really are dangling me out there." All he needs is Dickey a class act a "Renasissance Man" say "I had it here." "Trade me." Then his market drops when that word comes out.
The process is fine.
Obviously, 4 years at 40 million or 2 years at 25 million + the 5 million $ option is a bargain for signing Dickey. That´s basically between Jeremy Guthrie and Hiroki Kuroda money for a pitcher who – for the past 3 years – has outpitched them by quite a bit.
Sure, he´s unique.
But if Dickey were a 31-year-old SP with the same results throwing his fastball in the 91 to 93 mph range, he´d be looking at a 5-years, 90 milllion $ type contract easily – if not more.
Kyle Lohse is a good example. He´s 34 and reportedly looking for a 4-year, 60 million $ type contract which he probably gets from someone. Would anyone seriously bet on Lohse for the next 3-4 years vs. Dickey ???
The Mets know this. All it takes for them is to make Dickey that sort of offer and he´s likely to accept. However, right now, with teams losing out on Greinke & Shields, i.e. the other legit frontline SP on the market this winter – with all due respect to Lohse, Sanchez and Dempster who are more like # 3 starters coming off a pretty good season and will get more annually than Dickey is even asking for anyway – Dickey is a great bargain for 2013 purposes. So, either someone offers a legit package for RA. Or the Mets eventually sign him to a moderate extension, absolutely worth the risk.
Well said.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, when do we start considering a new GM? A GM that really wants to bring a championship to Flushing?
People are free to spend their money as they wish, but I see no reason to purchase a Met ticket next year unless the team fills the holes reasonably between now and opening day.
David Wright reduced the amount he was owed in 2013 as part of his new deal, Jason Bay deferred money as part of his buyout and Mets officials swear the payroll can inch slightly higher in 2013. Still, Alderson acknowledged, the Mets may not use the available capital — in part because the prices on the market may not be worth it.
"Again, it's hard for me to predict what exactly will happen," Alderson said. "But we're not going to spend the money in mid-December just because we have it. We may spend it in January. We may spend it at some other time. We may not spend it. But the important thing is we have the flexibility to make a baseball decision about that rather than be constrained by sort of an artificial financial limitation."
2013 Payroll = $85 million!!!
I just got a sick feeling in my stomach reading that. Would have been better off not knowing it.
Now R.A knows how George Bailey (another all around nice guy) must have felt when he had to deal with old Mr. Potter (another curmudgeony misanthrope) after Uncle Billy misplaced the deposit money in "It's a Wonderful Life".
Potter (SA) : "Whaddya mean you won 20 games! Whaddya mean you won the Cy Young!
You ought to be grateful we let you pitch here at all! Trying to steal the Wilpons
money! Besides your 38 years old! Your arm might fall off any moment or you
might get hemorrhoids! Why I ought to call another GM and have you shipped
out bag and baggage! Hello? Get me the Red Sox!".
This ownership SUCKS!
Very disappointing how management is treating there Ace pitcher.
You might as well as trade him, by doing so all you-are doing is creating one area of need and creating a big hole in your rotation.They have a winning pitcher on there staff and there going to let walk away. I guess you don't deserve him, the fan base will be very upset and frustrated because we do deserve him a CY WINNER.
I think I'll root for the Yankees.

"So Tosh then starts making some very generalizing, declarative statements about rape jokes always being funny, how can a rape joke not be funny, rape is hilarious, etc. I don't know why he was so repetitive about it but I felt provoked because I, for one, DON'T find them funny and never have. So I didnt appreciate Daniel Tosh (or anyone!) telling me I should find them funny. So I yelled out, 'Actually, rape jokes are never funny!'
"After I called out to him, Tosh paused for a moment. Then, he says, 'Wouldn't it be funny if that girl got raped by like, 5 guys right now? Like right now? What if a bunch of guys just raped her…'"
"Professional sayer of stupid sh*t Daniel Tosh says a lot of things that aren't funny, but perhaps the least funny of his unfunny oeuvre is his plethora of rape jokes. … As such, it was only a matter of time before he crossed the line from stupid rape joke to downright offensive, victimizing, bullying sh*t. Last Friday night, he outdid himself when he told a female heckler that it would be hilarious if she got gang raped. Sweet."
