Andre Ethier – the mailman of Dodgertown
I never got around to posting the lineup today, as we were busy with the news conference to announce 90090 as the official new zip code of Dodgertown. It's pretty cool that we're the first team ever to have that distinction. And we've gotta give a shout out to George Barajas, who has been sorting the mail here at Dodger Stadium for 23 years. He was part of the pregame ceremony, as were a lot of our friends at the post office. And of course, it all started with Jamie McCourt, who has been the driving force to get it done along with the help of Tommy Lasorda and many others behind the scenes.
But I guess it's Andre Ethier who is the new Mailman of Dodgertown. He seems to deliver every day.
This team is really something else. Back-to-back nights, down by a run in the ninth, they've found a way to win and both times, it's been Andre coming through in the clutch. And in case you didn't watch the game, that's his sixth walk-off in the last two seasons, more than anyone else in baseball.
Hope you all make it out tomorrow for the series finale or tune into ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball (or KABC). For those who missed Bleacher Beach last week, it should be a hot spot again manana.

yup josh.. i agree.. this team really IS something else.. they're so entertaining.. 15 come from behind wins.. what more can you say? 🙂
Way to go Dodgers! Great pitching, great defense and very clutch hitting by Andre and Raffy! This team never disappoints. Keep up the good work Dodger Blue!
These Philly fans can't be serious and there is no way the NL west is the worst division this year.
Wow the Crosby suck chant in Detriot but I shouldn't be surprise lol.
Just back from the game and once again the Dodgers make it happen, it's been so exciting to be there the past couple days (i was there thursday too, but had nothing to cheer about) i'll be at the finale tommorrow in the all u can eat seats and hopefully we take 3 of 4 from these jerks, if we do it'll be a long drive back to new mexico for my phillie friend who is out here with me! GO DODGERS!!

So glad he's come around before Manny comes back so no one will say it's because of Manny. Don't get me wrong, I know Manny makes everyone around him better, but Andre was a quallity hitter before Manny came as Karros also pointed out today, so it's great to see him fight his way out of it on his own.

Good Evening ITD readers and writers!!!!!!! I just got home from a long day of highschool baseball, knowing that our Dodgers did the remarkable once again, and I had to see what everyone had to say. I will be watching the main highlights of the game later on, but this is just one amazing team. Enchanted is right. We really aren't playing to our full potential, and we are still winning. It will be amazing to see what happens when the entire team is running on all cylinders with batting, especially. What a ride this is going to be.
Kahli – love the name
Dodger4life – love the saying
bluecrewgirl – I couldn't agree with you more
jhall – thank you kindly
Also – I have to thank all my facebook/ITD buddies for keeping in the loop – Dodger4life, trublu, collie, ramslover, sara, and dodge1612. I was reading your status updates and comments which were great!!!
Hey everyone. I'm a big fan and friend of Dodger great Maury Wills and was looking forward to seeing the presentation to Maury on the game of the week today on FOX. I live in North Dakota and we got the Twins game instead so I did not get to see it. Maury does the color part time on the radio for our local independent team the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks. I had a long talk with him on Tuesday and he told me he was very excited and honored that the Dodgers were going to do this for his 50th anniversary of Maury first game in the Majors. I was wondering how it went. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.
twinsfanforever – Even though it looks like I am the only one in the ITD room at the moment, and I did not see the game. However, I am sure someone will be along to help you out, either by way of articles or maybe even video if you are lucky. BTW – great duo you have in Mauer and Morneau. I actually gave all my AL catching votes to Mauer. He is just awesome!!! Take care, and hopefully someone will be around shortly to help you out.
"On the 50th anniversary of Dodger SS Maury Wills' major league debut, the club presented him with second base when the team took the field for the Phillies' second inning. This time, he didn't have to steal it. Wills swiped 104 bases in 1962, a modern-day big league record at the time."
Hey Nells it looks like Dre has definitely turned the corner.
Wish Marty could get even a trace of something going. He just looks like he hasn't a clue anymore. Sit him for a week, send him to a sports psychologist, give him a feather and tell him he can fly – something. Don't know why JoJo insists on batting him 4-5 everyday.
JP's jumped off the cliff. I suspected by the time Manny got back he'd be cool, but he's going down faster than a $20… well he's falling off rapidly. Wouldn't you say he's due for a game or two time off? Watching him today he's back to slappy outs – has been for over a week now.
Was great to see Wade pitch today like he did last year. Hopefully he can keep that up. Don't know what to expect out of Wolf tomorrow, but maybe if he trusts Ausmus like he did the last 4 innings of his last outing, we'll have a good shot again tomorrow.
Kahli ~ I'm sure twinsfan4ever wil appreciate you information.
Twinsfan4ever ~ Maury Wills is still one of my all time favorite Dodgers. A great player and a wonderful human being.
*your information
Good evening to anyone still in the room. I've also felt that this team isn't, as of yet, firing on all cylinders. Let's face it, if anyone had told any of us before the season that the D's would be 20 games over .500 and in 1st place by 9 games in the first week of June with Manny in the middle of a 50- game suspension, Kuroda on the DL for all the first 6 weeks of the season, Russell, Andre, and Furcal having subpar first halves, we'd have had that person custom fitted for a straight jacket. So enchanted's point is very well taken. Even if the above three completely rebound and we get a highly productive Manny back, we'd be hard pressed to improve on our current record but, then again, who knows???
enchanted, I like the idea of the feather. What I don't get is Uncle Joe's take on Martin (according to the Fox announcers, and I paraphrase)…that Martin hasn't figured himself out yet…that he doesn't have a plan for his abilities…and then our beloved Uncle Joe throws him into the middle of the line-up day after day after day after day after day after day after day………………………….
Good Evening enchanted – It really is good to see Andre turn the corner on this slump, and in such a huge way too. Like bluecrewgirl said, he was hitting well before Manny ever came along, and he really had to find it within himself to do it this time and he did. As I am typing this, I am listening to the highlight of our game again…………….what a great sound it is too. Andre has increased his average 14 points in the last 10 games (.257 to .271), and JP has dropped 48 points in his average in the last 10 games (.407 to .359). As for Russell – another 0-4 day with a walk. I didn't see the game so I can't comment on anything, but he is now batting where Andre dropped to …………….a .251 BA.
When you think about it sky, there were 4-5 games (especially the Washington game) that they just blew or this team could be 28-30 games over .500.
I think its time for Ferk to go back to leadoff and drop Slappy back down to 8 or 9. Marty will take tomorrow off I'm sure, but then he needs to bat no higher than 7 (assuming Pierre's 9. Otherwise, bat Marty 8.) Let's keep Dre batting third and interchange Blake and Loney 4-5. Eventually they're going to find someone they can hit and when they do, hopefully it'll kickstart the entire team.
Good thinking enchanted 🙂
The trouble with JP (OK one of the many) – and I'm sure I'll incur some wrath here and there – is that yes, he's entitled to battle his way out of his slump just like Dre and Marty and the rest of the gang, but when he does he'll still be nothing better than good ol' Juan for 4. Ol' Juan needs to bat 8 or 9 and sit long and hard on the bench when Manny gets back. (Not that that means I condone Manny's juicing, but the reality is when he gets back he IS going to play, and Juan once again doesn't warrant playing time over Kemp or Dre.)
I don't have any argument with those moves, either, E…..Russell just seems to be totally lost at the plate these days. He doesn't seem to have any plan in place when he gets in the box. What's happened to him, too, is that the NL pitchers have made adjustments in their approach to him and he needs to make adjustments in return, which, he, obviously, hasn't done. He needs to take stock of what he does and doesn't do well, relax, make the adjustments, and take what the pitchers give him each AB. I think the talent's still there but he just needs to make better use of it.
twinsfanforever – If you look in our photo gallery on the bottom right hand corner of our homepage, there is a great picture of Maury Wills with the 2nd base that was given to him.
Okay – after seeing the rest of the photos in the gallery, I want to be part of the right field pavillion, just so I can be part of that awesome display of Andre supporters. Ethieraholics shirts definitely need to be made.
Nelly, sorry you missed the game, but glad you're getting to see the highlights. I've watched the clip of Andre's hr about 10 times already, lol. Not just because I'm so happy for him, but it's so great to see the entire team celebrate at home plate. Enchanted, I agree. I am not trying to take anything away from what Pierre has contributed while Manny's been out. It's been very important. Bottom line is that when all is said and done, he's not as good as Andre and Matt. They are both better defenders and both can change the outcome of a game with one swing of the bat, something he doesn't do very often. Seesky, you may need to get a backup flask if they keep winning like this.
I agree NellyJune! We DO need Ethieraholic shirts!
Don't know about you guys, but I thought Kamp was going to get booted for arguing the third strike his last AB. I really thought Bowa or Torre should've been out there immediately to back him off. I thought the ump showed some pretty good restraint not tossing him, especially after he threw his helmet. Who would've played the OF had he been tossed – Marty? I think Ausmus was all we had left on the bench.
Btw, I felt really sorry for Russell when they showed him on the bench after his last at bat. I hope he comes around soon. I don't think batting clean up helped. He puts a lot of pressure on himself like Andre does. Too bad Loney doesn't hit for more power, because never seems to get ruffled about things, which is a good emotional make up for clean up. I really like Andre in the 3 spot, I doubt he'll get to bat there much this season.
Enchanted ~ I also thought he was going to get tossed. We would have rhad a problem too, because as you say, who was left? I think the home plate umpire was showboating a little bit calling a third strike late, almost as the batter was going to first base. He did it when Blake pinch hit. And, then again with Matt.
Initially I thought that third strike call was a bit low and outside, but on the replay it was pretty damn close – could've gone either way. I did think one other pitch in that AB though that was called a strike was waaaay outside.
I think we all knew that, sooner or later, that JP would star in his own remake of "The Man Who Fell To Earth". His job was to be productive while Manny was out and, for the most part, he's succeeded. But, his wave is ending and he's about to take a powder off his surfboard…..Bluecrew, if we keep winning like this, we won't need a backup flask, we'll need to break ground on a distillery. Maybe Frank can suggest a good real estate agent.
Juan's performed admirably, even superhumanly for a month in Manny's absence. At this point in time he's still the third best outfielder on the team and should play. BUT, he's playing like he could use a day off, and he definitely should be hitting now at the bottom of the order.
Trublu, I thought he was showboating a bit too. He must have wanted his closeup on national tv ): I know Loney has played a little outfield, but not very well as he almost seriously hurt himself doing it a few seasons ago and Andre did work out at first base a little last season, so I guess they could have switched in a pinch, but it probably wouldn't have been pretty, lol.
bluecrewgirl – I think I have watched it about 10 times myself and for the same reason too. It's really shows he was capable all along, and just had to figure out for himself, by listening to coaching and to himself, how to get back on track.
I agree Juan needs a day or two off. Pretty soon they will probably send Hoffmann down som why not ket him play a game or two and let Juan pinch hit, if necessary. I know X Paul was released from the hospital and not sure if he is well enough to play. But, I'd give him a game or two also. I don't think it would prevent us from winning to play either Hoffmann of Paul.
* should be so not som!
This is why we need to dump the 13 man staff. Why is Schlichting even up? – he hasn't even been in a game. If Joe's not going to use him, then its a total waste of a roster spot that we could use for another bench player.
Bluecrew, actually, if Russell had more of James' mindset, he'd probably be a lot more productive. James has a handle on what he does and doesn't do well and stays within himself. He knows he isn't a power hitter and doesn't try to be. At this point, Russell doesn't know who he is and needs to figure it out.
Only thing I've figured out with Marty is that he's this year's Andruw.
I might be the only one around who thinks Russell will snap out of his funk and be a big part of our road to the World Series.
I think he's capable of doing it, tru, but whether he will or not is another story.
I agree, seesky, I wish Andre had a little more of James calmness too. I wouldn't want him not to be passionate like he is, it's part of his game, just to learn not to let it get out of control during the tough times. One caller on Dodger Talk did make a very good point though, which was that Russell has done a very good job overall of handling the pitching staff and that is the # one priority of his job. He needs to remind himself of that fact.
I think he'll snap out of it too, trublu. I think he'll come on strong the second 1/2.
Then, here's a toast to Russell for a superb second half of the season!!!
Maybe Marty needs one of Ned's "mystery ailments", go on the 15-day DL, check into the Betty Ford Clinic for Wayward Catchers, and snap the hell out of his funk.
I think he'll come around to some degree eventually, but will he be able to pass Castro in HRs?
The flask is filled with Canadian Club in honor of Russell!!!!
Enchanted ~ Right now, I'd settle for some RBIs from Russ. I think if he drove in a few runners, he'd feel better and then maybe, the homers will come.
Thanks, Seesky 🙂
I just wish he'd take the damn bat off his shoulder once in awhile.
Honestly though, I don't know if I'm more upset that he's hasn't a clue what he's doing up there, or more upset that Joe keeps putting him 4-5 and setting him up to fail.
I always crack up watching Matt during the celebrations at home plate after a big victory. His love for the game really shows.
I think it would help Russell if Joe sitched him in the lineup with Matt.
Or, Casey.
It definitely helped Andre while he was in his slump when Joe moved him around a bit to take some pressure off. I think it would help Russell too. I think Joe moved Russell to 8th last season when he came out of it and had a strong 2nd half.
I remember, in particular, an AB Russell had in the Mets playoff series his first year. He went down to one knee to get a pitch by Chad Bradford and just served it into LF for a base hit. I'm convinced he has the ability. He just needs to apply it.
Just watched the highlight, again, of Andre's back to back walk-offs and it is so cool. They are just like a bunch of kids! And, the hug with Joe was the perfect touch.
It sounds all good to me. Whatever works to get Russell going really.
I thought you all would appreciate this headline on Sons of Steve Garvey:
Seesky ~ that's what Karros was saying during the game. Everyone thinks he has the ability to be great except for Russell himself! So, a little confidence boost would be just what the doctor ordered.
I love Martin…but Uncle Joe should play Ausmus a few games…It'll do them both some good…geez, is Martin awful lately…Dodgers have Monday and Thursday off…Kershaw to be skipped, right?…extra rest for his valuable left arm? enchanted, you mentioned the Dodgers would be flying high if they'd closed the deal on a few games. I'll give you one–the Washington game that broke the home streak. But the last two games prove you win a few you had no right winning. Add in the five runs in the 8th against Arizona last week. Stole that game. The Dodgers aren't as good as their record????!?!?!…but they will be when Manny gets back. I'd forgotten just how dominating Kuroda can be. He has looked nasty…11 innings, 5 hits, 11 Ks.
The gnats lost and the dback lost to the Padres.
Bluecrewgirl ~ They stole our "Ethieraholics" !
I mean the headline not the shirts! We need ETHIERAHOLIC SHIRTS!!!
I don't give any of the wins back Kahli 🙂
That would be a great idea. They must read ITD from time to time I would say from reading that headline.
I think more people than we think read ITD, Bluecrewgirl. Sometimes it's a good thing and then there are times when we are down right ridiculously funny! lol
I'm going to have to wish you all a good night. I'm worn out from having my 3 year old grandson's birthday party at my house today. See you tomorrow when we take 3 out of 4 from the Phillies!!!
Gotta wonder what people think when we do a song. Hell, I wonder what Josh thinks when we do a song.
Goodnight, trublu. They are so cute at that age, but they can wear you out too.
Me too, enchanted.
Goodnight Tru!!
All I have right now are dogs. Fortunately none of them have made me a grandparent yet.
Good night, tru!!! We should have a Phantastic day tomorrow beating the Phillies again on national TV!!!!
Good Night tru!!!!
Bluecrewgirl – That is cool!!!!
enchanted, here's the song in my headphones when you mentioned songs…so in honor of our beloved Prodigal Son…baseball's hate-flavor of the month…a cheater we all still love, so why fight it….??????????!??!???!?!?!?!?!?
The world is treating me bad… Manny.
I'm the kind of guy,
Who never used to cry,
The world is treatin' me bad… Manny!
We've lost him now for sure,
we won't see him no more,
It's gonna be a drag… Manny!
I remember all the little things he's done
Can't he see he'll always be the only one, only one.
Send him back to me,
'Cause everyone can see
Without him there will be no Manny
I remember all the little things he's done.
He'll remember and he'll miss his only team, lonely team.
Send him back to me,
'Cause everyone can see,
Without him there will be no Manny
Manny (ooh ooh ooh)
Manny (la la la la la la)
Top-notch Kahli!!!
I was out of town, so I missed the three year old birthday party. However, the trade off was I had to spend the day with a car full of teenage boys.
Good night, all!!!! Have a pleasant Sunday!!!!
Great job, kahli! I bet Manny feels really left out of the fun right now.
Goodnight Sky!!
Night seesky.
Teenage boys can wear you out too, Nelly, lol. My 14 year old nephew can wear me out just by himself.
Fantastic Kahli!!!!!!!
Good Night seesky!!!!!!
bluecrewgirl – On SOSG they give credit to Dodger Thoughts coming up with the term Squeethier, so they better be giving ITD credit for Ethieraholic.
From what I heard, the teenage boys were much easier – LOL!!!!! I can see why tru is tired 🙂
Andre made #1 on ESPN's Top Ten Plays of the Day.
If Ethier fans are Ethierholics, Martin fans are Martinistas, Kemp fans a Happy Kempers, and Manny fans are Manniacs, what are Loney fans? I mean he's got a song and all, but he needs a catchy little fanclub name.
That's true, they did mention that term. I forgot. Yes, they do need to give a shout out to ITD. Those guys that spelled out Ethier on their shirts in the outfield were pretty funny. Great to see his name out there again. It felt like he had fallen off the face of the earth for a few weeks there. He didn't even get a mention in the media, except to say he was in a slump. Hopefully, he'll get inspired for a new blog entry soon.
You are so right enchanted. hmmmmmm I will have to think about that.
James Gang? Loneymaroney's? Only The Loneys?
Loneytics? …………kind of like "lunatics" ……………….I don't know……….. kind of sounds like lonely tics – LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Loneytics it is!! LMAO!!!
Been fun everyone – thanks for all the chat! Catch you all later!!!
Good one, Nelly.
Goodnight, enchanted. Good to see you, as always.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! The Loneytics are on the loose again in the land of Ethieraholics and Juapians, only to be met by the Martinistas and the Happy Kempers. Stay tuned as they all live out the drama of living in Torreville at Dodger Stadium in Chavez Ravine.
Good Night enchanted – always good to see and chat with you as well. Take care and let's hope we can get 3 out of 4 tomorrow.
Nelly, not that I would do it because I wouldn't post smack on another team's blog, but it would give our friend Phan a taste of his own medicine to post, You've got mail, from the Mailman of Dodgertown, Andre Ethier, LOL!
Nah – I wouldn't ethier, but you are right……………it would be fun.
I'd like to be able to hear Charlie's call of the hr on radio today. I wonder if there's a clip of it anywhere.
You can go back and listen to the radio broadcast on mlb.com I would think. That will definitely be worth the listen to, wouldn't it?
Don't you have to have a subscription to do that? I don't have one since I can see all of the games on either Fox Prime or KCAL.
Yes, I do, but I don't get the LA channels so have invested in both, the audio and visual plans for Dodger games. I usually watch mlb.com/tv until the 9th inning and then I switch to radio because they you can listen to the post game show on KABC with Rick and Charlie, and that usually includes some type of interview with a player, and if mlb.com hasn't cut me off, you can usually listen to the call-in part of the show with the other Josh. mlb.com/tv version just cuts off as soon as the game is over. I use this only when I can't watch it on DirectTV.
I listened to part of Dodger Talk on the way to meet my friend for dinner. I missed the beginning and was wondering if they had interviewed Andre or not. I wish they would have Dodger Talk available to listen to online on KABC. It's hard to get KABC in on the regular radio where I live, the only place it comes in decent is in my car.
I just got done watching Baseball Tonight on ESPN, and they said the Dodgers are on fire, and Andre Ethier is a big part of that. They mentioned the slump, and they mentioned the 6 walk-offs in two seasons and Andre being the only one in the majors to accomplish that goal.
Goodnight, Nelly. I stayed up until like 4 o'clock last night, so I'd better hit the rack. I am dreading going back to work on Monday after being on vacation for a week.
That's great to hear. I think the slump will be a distant memory very soon and I think he learned a lot from it.
I am going to bed too. I am exhausted from the last week of school and today being in the sun all day just wiped me out. Take Care and let's hope the Dodgers can get the series tomorrow on ESPN.
I'm a happy man.
…..and why are you a happy man? I know, I know……….but I can't sleep now. I think it might be because I got burned today and eventhough it is rather cool tonight, I am rather warm.
Sorry to hear about the burn Nelly. I just got home from work a little bit ago. I had a long day as I had to open then head a 3 hour break in between & then went back for a meeting and training. Time for bed as I've got another long one tomorrow.
Take care…
Wow!!! Sounds like a tough day and days ahead too. Good Night, take care and God Bless Collie 🙂
Hi ITD.
Loneytics sounds good. Maybe his cheering section at the stadium could be the Loney Bin.
No one will probably read this 'til morning, but had a late night tonight, so wanted to put in my two cents. In other words: "I come not to praise Caesar, but to bury him"
Coming in late tonight, closed at work. About 45 minutes after I get there, a guest comes up with a Dodgers shirt and hat. After taking his order, I asked him if the Dodgers won, and he said "Yeah, Andre Ethier hit a walk-off Home Run in the 12th Inning." took everything in me not to go crazy there at the front counter.
Good to see we get the edge over the Phillies again today (and sit at all 9's [9,999 wins] with a chance to get win # 10,000 against the only team with 10,000 losses). We haven't won anything yet, though, we'll probably be seeing them again in October, so although this will be something good to look back on, we need to feed off this in the fall and get to the next level.
10-4 against the NL East so far this year. Haters can say all they want about the "weak" NL West, but we've done well against Bristol's Annointed Favorite NL division. After tomorrow, at WORST we'll be 10-5 against the NL East, 4-3 against Philly (who only 2 nights ago had a MLB Best Road record that only eclipsed our MLB Best Home record by a half a game) and have a MLB Best record of 39-20. At best… well, I wouldn't want to gloat so early in June…
That's what happens when you let your team do the talking for you. This is a new year… but the most the regular season can be is a preamble to October. This year, if we make it to the Postseason, our players will know how good they are from the top down. It's fulfilling that promise that will be the toughest part, but that's why championships don't grow on trees.
Good Morning ~ Love "Loneytics"! and, NSBlues' Loney Bin! Way too cool!!!!
So let's see, we have………ETHIERAHOLICS
LONEYTICS seated in the Loney Bin
Now we need someting for Orlando (perhaps "Dog Pound"?)
Casey Blake, Billz and Broxton. Maybe we can take care of their titles before game time today.
I've been saying much about Martin of late, and adding more to it seems like it would just be piling on. I'd accept his diminished hitting, which is now pretty much at the level of most catchers in the league, if Torre would just drop him to the 7th or 8th slot in the lineup. Putting him in cleanup is just ludicrous and stubborn, and both of those are trademarks of Joe's at times. Saying that Loney doesn't belong in cleanup because he lacks power doesn't make sense either, if you're comparing it to the alternative of batting Martin in cleanup. At least Loney shows clutch characteristics by leading the team in RBI's no matter where he's batting.
I also liked Ethier batting third, and I think that would be his best and natural spot, assuming, of course, that JP really belongs at the bottom of the order where he found his resurgence, and Furcal might regain his form if he was left in leadoff, where he's been most productive all of his career.
Good Morning ITD,
What A game! I like that tag "the Mailman" for Dre, just has to keep delivering. Kuroda really impressed me, and Loneys and Hudson defense saved the game.
The bad spot was Castos Pick off and perhaps not martin moving runners over. But Raffy really saved us!
Lets go Dodgers
Koufax ~ to tell you the truth, when Castro got picked off, I thought……uh, oh, this is going to cost us big time. It almost did until Raffy saved us, as you said. Wow, what a finish!
Good Morning ITD, Dodger Faithful,
Those Walk off celebrations are something special and it could'nt of happened to a better guy. Andre thanks for the enjoyment and excitement. This team is amazing and fun to watch, I can only dream of how the players must feel.
The pitching staff has been superb, they for the most part just keep getting it done. What a team.
I am just giving my opinion here as far as Martin. He has had to absorb a gallon of imformation, and try and fit it into a shot glass, he has the hardest job on the field. Ausmus has been tutoring Martin, as to make him more knowledgable and a better player in the future. Patience will prevail. I believe Russ will be better for this as the season goes along and in future years.
Congratulations to Raffy on his home run yesterday!!!!
Andre what can I say, ( The Eitheraholics are Happy ) as are we all.
Thank you to everyone who helped with the info on Maury. The picture was great firstname.lastname@example.com a special thank you to you.
Good Morning ITD readers and writers!!!!!!!
nsblues – just a fabulous entry once again, and Loney Bin sounds perfect.
tru – we do need to think of names for our position players and perhaps our pitchers as well, who have not been given names yet.
messagebear – You are right, there are many catchers not batting well right now, but like you said, they aren't batting 4th or 5th in the lineup either. And, I do like Ethier batting 3rd. It really does seem like his natural position in the lineup, for now anyway.
Koufax – I agree, Ethier keeps the name as long as he keeps delivering.
Dodger4life – The Ethieraholics are Ethieriffic!!!!
twinsfanforever – you are most welcome 🙂
The Etheiraholics are'nt the only ones happy, I imagine Raffy's Diva's are singing as well……Keep on keep'n on… Boy's
Raffy's Divas – that's Great Dodger4life!!!!!!
Casey Blake – Beardenettes???
That's good, NellyJune!
MANNIACS (I forgot this one)
and this one too
you spelled ETHIERAHOLICS wrong – LOL (jk)
What an interesting season! Just the other day we were questioning the make up of the bull pen. The relief pitchers have come around and now the focus is on the lack of hitting by several key players. I was pretty disappointed in Martin yesterday, but again, we can afford to be patient with the guy. He's probably going to watch the all star this year, but he is still among the league's best. He'll come around. We need to support him, 'cause we're going to need him before this through. And Pierre.
I have not had a favorite since Dave Roberts and Shawn Green left, but all of those names are pretty cool.
Sorry – * Ethieraholics……Darned spell check. LOL!!!!
Knouffbrock ~ I loved Shawn Green! I wonder what he has been doing since he retired.
So, are we going with the Dog Pound for Orlando?
What do you think? I was kind of hoping Enchanted would stop by and give some ideas.
I guess we could put it in there and change it later if we have to.
Broxtonites? …thinking like the word dynamite, perhaps?
That's good. Broxtonites!
For O-Dog how about "The Puppies" or O-Dog's Pups"?
That is good Collie!!! How are you today?
I love "Puppies", Collie!
Joe – in case your looking here for any ideas of the lineup…
Call me crazy but I would do:
Not tonight because Dre doesn't hit Hamels well.
Unless I felt that doing something like that would give Dre some confidence that showed by me putting him there. If I was the Manager.
I don't get Kemp in the 8th spot.

I'm good Nelly. I hope all is well with you. I overslept, so no Pilates class & church.
But we are taking the Mom's to brunch and then work out, clean the casa, watch the games, and a late softball game. I'm actually happy we over slept!
I hope you are well. Hello there to you 2 Tru!
NSB — Loney Bin's is great.
Nelly when it was suggested a name for the Loney fans I thought the 1st I thought was Loneytics and then as I read further down the thread, you had put it, so that would be my vote!! Good call!!!
Sorry you got burned yesterday. I'm hoping to get a little sun today as it's finally sunny and looks nice out there.
Okay so I'm talking solo now so that is my cue to hit the shower! Take care all and have a great Sunday!
Go Blue!!!
Bring the Ring to LA in 2009!!!!!
Hi, Collie. I'm tired just hearing about your day! I'm lucky to get out of bed, have my coffee, shower and get dressed. By then, I figure, enough exercise for me! lol
Oh and I like The Mailman. Doesn't the Postman always ring twice? Hopefully he can ring thrice today!
LOL Tru! If I had my way the bed & then couch would be my day today!
Well, we didn't get up for church either, and I am doing pretty good. Other than I am watching NASCAR and my driver (Denny Hamlin) has gone out of the race for the 2nd time, and the race just started 😦
Oh, well, I liked your lineup the day you posted it, and I still like it today.
Collie ~ 🙂
NellyJune ~ did he crash or mechanical problems? I forgot it was on!
Going to the game tonite and will prolly be my last one at Dodger Stadium this year (until October) as I am out here on leave and it's back to new mexico tommorrow, taking 3 of 4 from them will be amazing, it's been so awesome being there the past couple days winning in the fashion that we have, i'll be in all u can eat right feild tonite, GO DODGERS!!
Mechanical ……….his whole electrical system went out so no control panel, but they found out it was a fuel pump issue, sent him back out and it went out again. Now, he is in the garage 😦 He went from 7th to 13th in the point standings for the Chase. I just read an article because he was complaining about all of his bad luck, and his crew chief was saying if we were having bad luck, we wouldn't be in the top 10 in the standings. Well, I am guessing this would be considered bad luck.
Have fun bluesplash!!! That right field pavillion is usually alot of fun!!!
Nellyjune ~ it sure is bad luck!
bluesplash ~ enjoy the game! I wish I could be there too.
Nellyjune ~ it sure is bad luck!
bluesplash ~ enjoy the game! I wish I could be there too.
The last time I check these stats we we're around 3rd in ERA and now we're #1. The Cards was #1 but the 5.67 this month dropped them to 4th. The Giants was #2 but has a 3.46 to dropped them to 3rd. Seattle has the best ERA this month at 1.37 and they're leap frog over the Giants by .01 for 2nd places.
Are team starting rotation is still #1 in ERA after all the potential 5th starters that try to filled in.
This ERA need to improved and since the Mets bullpen been horrible lately they dropped to #2.
Hey everyone. It looks like a lot of us slept in today. I can't remember the last time I slept as late as I did this morning. I couldn't tell if you all had decided on a name for Broxton fans, but if not, I just wanted to throw The Brox Bombers into the mix. Gotta take a shower and get ready. Hope everyone has a great day.
Don't know about you guys, but I thought Kamp was going to get booted for arguing the third strike his last AB. I really thought Bowa or Torre should've been out there immediately to back him off. I thought the ump showed some pretty good restraint not tossing him, especially after he threw his helmet. Who would've played the OF had he been tossed – Marty? I think Ausmus was all we had left on the bench.
By enchantedsunset on June 6, 2009 9:31 PM
I love that name bluecrewgirl!!!! That's perfect for him 🙂
I know this is like 15 hrs later but that would be simple Blake move to LF, Pierre move to CF, Martin goes to 3rd and Ausmus behind the plate.
The Broxtinators.
lol how about Martin batting 9th?
The Brox-You's!!!!
Wolfsgang!!!! That is too easy!!!
I refuse to comment further on this situation until I hear from Manny, in the meantime…. I will give Manny my support, and remember that he is a part of this team, and is paying the price set by league rules. I wish Manny the best, I hope he has the same feeling for us the fans. What do I want to hear from Manny…….Something Positive….:-)
WolfsPack!!!! Better!!!
Beat that no good Bastardo tonight!
jhall is in the ITD House!!!!! How are you Wally? It is good to see you!!
Wolfspack is very good 🙂
Kahli – LOL!!!!!
Hi'Ya Nelly!!! Doing Well, Thanks!!!! Likewise!!!!
Hope all is well with you and your family Nell'!!!
We are doing good. I got a little toasted yesterday watching highschool baseball, but other than that I am good. The boys won both of their games yesterday and went 3-1 for the two days. I am glad to hear you are doing well 🙂
I know I should be careful what I wish for…but where's that phront-running phan been lately? I see his comments on the very weak Philly board…no wonder he comes in here. He slams LA fans, but those awesome World Champions get something like 5 to 15 comments per game. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…You know, phan, your comments against Bruntlett were very HATEFUL. It's only a game, didn't you know?
Hey everybody!
Would'nt have worked spit – Blake was already used. He K'd for Troncoso in the ninth. Kemp's K was in the 10th. Only position player they had left was Ausmus. Loretta was still on 3rd.
Kahli – isn't that the reason we get alot of people like phan though? (meaning people trying to push our buttons)…………..because we are more entertaining and we have fun regardless of the outcome of most games. Most blogs don't run like this. It's just comment and move on without any real conversations and debate between the bloggers themselves. You can't instigate with somebody who isn't there as in most other blogs.
……….and if there is conversation, it is within the time frame of the game only.
Look like the Cards pathetic 5.67 ERA this month is going to take a bit again and probably moved them down 2 to 3 more spot down. To think the Cards team ERA was way better than our and amazing the Cards are having problem with the Tracy Rockies lol.
Oh crap that right and he didn't come in when Furcal was in the game?
Let me check this out lol.
I thought Blake was at 3rd when Furcal took over SS and Loretta was out of the game but I guess not.
I thought Blake was at 3rd when Furcal took over SS and Loretta was out of the game but I guess not.
new thread…Furcal batting 7th?????????
Sigh stupid double post.
LOL – sorry I jinxed the game folks.
I am just happy that despite feeling lousy all weekend, I was able to service my car's cooling system and change the thermostat myself saving an $85 labor charge.
We may not have the Hollywood Squares to kick around anymore but there are plenty of other TV shows to mess with.

If this is truly a leaked photo of the 2011 Audi S8 — the super hi-po version of the luxobarge Audi A8 — then those German fellas just turned the design up to elf! UPDATE! It's a fake.
This photo showed up on The German Car Blog today and has the look of a pretentious Audi press photo. In fact, all it needs is a member of N*SYNC and we'd be sure this is the real thing.
Design-wise the large wheels and aggressive, ABT-style nose is a strong departure from the relatively understated appearance of previous S8's. Could Audi be so bold? We're not convinced. The other big mystery, of course, is what's underneath the hood. We've heard the RS6 twin-turbo V10 putting down around 600 HP.
UPDATE: It looks like our skepticism was well-founded. This is but a 'chop put together by someone over at World Car Fans. Thanks to porschecarreragtmay6 for digging it up.

Worcester will not have a baseball team at Hanover Insurance Park at Holy Cross next summer for the first time since the Tornadoes debuted in the Can-Am League in 2005. City Manager Michael V. O'Brien said yesterday that the city, Hanover Insurance and Holy Cross have decided to spend the next several months attempting to bring back baseball in 2014 — not in 2013.
Worcester will not have a baseball team at Hanover Insurance Park at Holy Cross next summer for the first time since the Tornadoes debuted in the Can-Am League in 2005.
City Manager Michael V. O'Brien said yesterday that the city, Hanover Insurance and Holy Cross have decided to spend the next several months attempting to bring back baseball in 2014, not 2013.
"A league, a new team and a new ownership group," O'Brien said, "would have all had to be selected by now, lease and all agreements set, their front office would already have to be in operation, the team's 2013 season established, tickets printed, and their sales force already on the streets for season 2013. That kind of pressure and pace does not produce diamonds.
"It would have left stones unturned and many key details missed which could create the types of structural flaws within the new team that could very well lead to failure. Not an option. Why establish a process with that high level of risk? A clean break and rock-solid due diligence and decisions by our partnership sets the proper field for 2014."
Henry Camosse, owner of Camosse Masonry in Worcester, said yesterday he already has formed an ownership group of more than a dozen local business people and is confident his group will be admitted in 2014 to either the Can-Am League or the Atlantic League, both independent leagues in the Northeast.
Camosse said he already has spoken with both leagues and has another meeting scheduled with Can-Am League Commissioner Miles Wolff for next week. Wolf said last month that if Worcester did not field a team in 2013, the league would welcome the city back in 2014.
Camosse said he hopes his ownership group will be accepted by a professional league in the first quarter of 2013 to begin play in 2014.
With former Red Sox catcher and Worcester native Rich Gedman as manager, the Tornadoes won the Can-Am League championship in their first season in 2005, but the league stripped Tornadoes owner Todd Breighner of his membership last summer for not paying the team's bills.
Various ownership groups, including one headed by Baltimore businessman Daniel DiGiancomo, expressed interest in fielding a team in 2013, but no agreement could be reached.
O'Brien said the city has spoken with potential ownership groups from inside and outside the area, as well as the Can-Am League, Atlantic League, and the amateur Futures Collegiate Baseball League. The city manager said an amateur team would be considered, but a professional team is preferred.
Worcester went without pro hockey for the 2005-06 season after the St. Louis Blues moved their American Hockey League team, the IceCats, to Peoria, Ill., and before the San Jose Sharks moved their AHL team here from Cleveland.
"There were a lot of hard feelings," the city manager recalled. "There was some unfinished business and there was a push, a rush to try to put a team on the ice the next season."
Despite some interest from the AHL and other pro and amateur leagues, the city decided to wait for the best option.
"Yeah, we had no hockey for that season," the city manager said, "but look at the success of the Sharks. It just proves that letting the dust settle on the downfall of the Tornadoes and the closure (of the debt) of Todd Breighner and building the proper structure going forward is a recipe for success."
O'Brien added that he hoped the Can-Am League would address the Tornadoes' estimated $300,000 debt. Camosse said he doesn't consider the Tornadoes' debt a stumbling block for him.
"I believe we can put together a good, solid financial group of people," Camosse said, "and they'll be Worcester people that you can count on and we'll be a brand new start-up company. So no, I don't see it as a hurdle."

"A Company with tradition: 80 years in the heart of Vienna
In 1919, two former officers of the Austrian monarchy, violin maker, Dr. Franz Thomastik, and civil engineering specialist, Otto Infeld, decided to become collaborators. They co-founded the company, invented the steel string and thus caused a revolution in the music world.
Suddenly the conventional gut string was challenged by a new string with the highest quality of tone, precision and reliability. It was received enthusiatically by virtuosi across the world.
To the present, an ennormous variety of strings with this new exciting sound for bowed and plucked instruments are produced at the homebase of Thomastik-Infeld, right in the of Vienna, the world´s music capital.
Thomastik-Infeld constructs and manufactures machines for producing strings in its own workshops. With a staff of 190 people, it produces yearly over 3.000 different strings. 97% of them are exported to more than 100 countries. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"In addition to my regular building and restoration, I also offer a variety of services regarding the stringing of historical pianos, both originals and copies. These include the interpretation of existing gauge marks, the devising of entirely new stringing schedules when no marks are present and the design and fabrication of wound bass strings of all types and materials, both open and closed wrapped. I rely upon a combination of evidence drawn from original instruments, information gleaned from original piano making manuals of the 19th century, and a sophisticated computerized analysis technique. Surviving strings are faithfully copied in wrapping form and hitchpin loop. Bass core wires are always pre-stretched before wrapping until they stabilize at 80% rupture load in order to assure rapid stability of pitch once mounted and prevent in-situ stretching which can create loose wraps. Modern steel core stock is never used, and every attempt is made to find the best possible solution from among the various available "historical" wire types."

" Juan has been an arts teacher for 20 years and Mary has got years of administrative experience working in the export department of a Dutch company and later on managing the large invoice department of another company. They both specialised in languages at an early stage.
As a teacher of three-dimensional arts in a secondary school, Juan took up an interest in the history and construction of the piano, being inspired by his 1881 Erard Grand that he knew since he was a boy of 14. From 1991, after 20 years of teaching, Juan became a professional piano technician. He immediately started to extend his study of the piano to the complex 19th century developments. Every possible book on the subject was bought and read and many travels through Europe brought him many contacts with colleagues. In 1994 he took up the initiative of selling this special pianowire that had just been discovered as the answer to many restoration problems.
Juan's enthusiasm was inspiring for his wife Mary, who used her administrative and language abilities. There are few women who know more about wire and pianos than she does! Juan and Mary travel a lot together, visiting many piano workshops and piano collections all over Europe. " ...

"From my most early studies of violin making I gravitated towards instruments intended for historical performance practice, making my first baroque violin in 1973 when I was still a student. About that time I began to research early instruments and set up, spending time in museums with as many unaltered instruments as the curators would allow. In the late 1970s I came to the conclusion that our early instrument reproductions would not work to expectation with the gut strings that were available at the time and I started to study the properties of historical strings based on old extant samples that I had taken out of violin cases over the years, historical descriptions of the string making process and early comments on the nature of strings. This led me to the conclusion that the only way to make authentically styled historical strings was to make them myself. The string making process does not lend itself to making just a few strings when needed, so I found myself developing a new business that developed into Gamut Musical Strings.

The epic battle between American Freedom Defense Initiative executive director and blogger Pamela Geller and The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) culminated with a court decision that forced the transit authority to permit the display of controversial ads about radical Islam. But the story didn't end there. As TheBlaze reported this morning, Geller's case caused the MTA to rethink the manner in which it handles First Amendment issues, leading to the adoption of some potentially-controversial measures.
(Related: Read TheBlaze's initial report about the MTA's changes here)
On Friday, TheBlaze spoke with a spokesperson who confirmed some of the details surrounding the case, while clarifying the new changes that passed on Thursday. As noted, one of the emergent provisions that was added into the public company's advertising standards in the wake of the Geller debate allows the MTA to deny ads it believes could incite violence (this was not mentioned in the press release the agency put out about the changes).
As previously noted, a document, reflecting yesterday's changes, was provided by the MTA to TheBlaze this morning. It highlights the transit authority's advertising standards and reads, in part, "The licensee ('advertising contractor') shall not display or maintain any advertisement that falls within one or more of the following categories." One of the category sections reads:
The advertisement, or any information contained in it, is directly adverse to the commercial or administrative interests of the MTA or is harmful to the morale of MTA employees or contains material the display of which the MTA reasonably foresees would incite or provoke violence or other immediate breach of the peace, and so harm, disrupt, or interfere with safe, efficient, and orderly transit operations.
It is the portion presented in bold that is new to the regulations. It's inclusion is interesting for a number of reasons. On the surface, it appears oddly placed in the list of grievances that could lead to the banning of an advertisement. Furthermore, there is some ambiguity regarding what led to the inclusion of the "violence" reference in the first place.
Here's a screen shot from the official document:
In an e-mail reply, MTA spokesperson Aaron Donovan told TheBlaze that the change was among the "outstanding issues" that the agency was looking to tackle in the new regulatory document.
"Since we hadn't updated our advertising standards in 15 years, we used this opportunity to address several outstanding issues or potential hypothetical situations," he wrote. "This is one of them."
TheBlaze responded with additional questions about the motivations for the change, asking how, in particular, the MTA's court battle with Geller impacted the new restriction on violent ads. Donovan responded, admitting that the dilemma did play an integral role in the decision to make the change.
"The ad, and more specifically the litigation surrounding it, caused us to think about a variety of potential scenarios and review our standards more carefully within a prism of First Amendment law," he commented.
Considering that the MTA has made its opposition to the ad's message known in the past -- and taking into account continued calls for bans on blasphemy and offensive messages -- the natural question is: Will this new regulation serve as a backdoor method for banning controversial ads that take aim at specific faiths, like Islam?
To gain a better perspective, TheBlaze asked who would be involved in the process of defining which messages incite violence and what the metrics for doing so would be.
"It would go through the same process we currently use to determine whether ads meet the overall guidelines," Donovan explained. "Ads are submitted to our advertising contractor, CBS Outdoor, for posting and approval."
Once the ads are submitted, Donovan said that CBS then decides which ones need to be scrutinized more closely to ensure they meet guidelines. Considering the other MTA regulation that was adopted on Thursday -- the requirement that political, religious and morality-based ads include a disclaimer separating their ideals from the agency's -- the spokesperson said that CBS would also be involved in flagging ads for that purpose.
"The MTA's final determination is made by the MTA's Director of Real Estate, in consultation with CBS Outdoor (our ad contractor), the MTA's General Counsel, the Chairman, and others he may choose to consult with," he continued, highlighting how potentially-violent ads will be assessed.
Still, considering these elements, the issue needs further exploration. The language seems fluid enough to present further First Amendment battles in the future -- especially considering the guidelines' subjective nature.

In an exclusive interview on AC360, Juror B37 talked to Anderson Cooper about the sadness she feels for Trayvon Martin and his family.
"I feel bad that we can't give them the verdict that they wanted, but legally we could not do that."
The juror said Martin played a "huge role in his death, " because he could have walked away from the confrontation with Zimmerman. "He didn't have to do whatever he did and come back and be in a fight."
Juror B37 told Anderson that she thought Zimmerman's actions were in self-defense. "I think the roles changed, I think George got in a little bit too deep, which he shouldn't have been there. But Trayvon decided that he wasn't gonna let him scare him ... and I think Trayvon got mad and attacked him."
Zimmerman needs to pay O'Mara millions of dollars in lawyer fees for getting a NOT GUILTY verdict by persuading the jurors to only look at Zimmerman's side of the story and ignore the evidence that the prosecution presented.
If Zimmerman had a FREE court-appointed public defender, Z's behind would be in jail right now for life. Come on jurors, you have NO PROOF that Trayvon slammed Zimmerman's head on the cement multiple times and no proof that T hit Z's nose.
Even Trayvon's autopsy did not show he was beating anyone and let alone beating anyone to death. He only had one 1/4 x 1/8 small abrasion on his left ring finger. No other injuries, bruises, cuts from beating up anyone.
If Zimmerman could tamper with evidence with his altercation with his wife on the iPad and hiding the gun, the jurors should have really looked at Trayvon's side and his body. His body tells the truth. The jurors took Zimmerman's and the lawyer's story at face value and believed it 100% with no firm evidence.
The court system in the USA is manipulated by skilled lawyers and jury instructions to favor who the system wants to win.
Martin had more cuts to his hands than you describe.
I was sicked by Juror B37 's interview. She had so much sympathy for Zimmerman who had no business getting out of his car. The neighborhood watch program there needs to be investigated. The department that allows Zimmerman to have a gun in the first place needs to be investigated. The laws in Florida NEED to be changed if thats the reason we have this verdict because we ALL know it was wrong. I have so much respect and empathy for Treyvon's parents in how they have handled everything. We need to do whatever we can to help them change these laws and the system that has allowed this to happen in this way.
Getting out of your car to follow a suspicious character does not constitute a charge of murder. It is the constitution that permits Zim from carrying a gun.
All I have to say is...where was the DNA evidence on Trayvon Martin's hands...I believe they did not find any of Zimmerman's blood on his hands....even though he covered up Zimmerman's bloody nose and grabbed the back of his bloody head. Also, people...he was 45 seconds from the backyard of the home he was staying in, in Stanford. When you have an open area attached housing development; being 45 seconds away is his back yard...so I consider this as him being at home.
I'm a Latino mother and I had worked hard to teach my kids that we all equal on the eyes of the law, God and people but after living in USA I had found difficult to probe this right to my kids. It's not race is the class you in. We need to educate and protect poor young American people. God bless America she is crying.....
This is impossible to believe that this woman cared about Trayon. Zimmerman had NO RIGHT to even approach Trayvon. I think all they saw was skin color. If you are white your are right; if you are Black get back. Trayvon would still be alive if Zimmerman had not approached him that night.
You could also say Martin would be alive if he did not attack Zimmerman. That was a crime. Following a suspicious person to report to law enforcement is not a crime.
In my opinion: GZ should not have confronted,or followed TM. once the dispatcher instructed him not to confront the young man, he should have backed off. Question why does the neighborhood watch person carry a 9mm? watching does not mean that you should confront, call the authorities and allow them to do their job. I personally think that GZ is a coward that wanted to feel like a big man and had acquired a false sense of security with the firearm. He did not expect the young man to stand up for himself and feel the outrage that he felt due to him following him and confronting him, because only a black man or woman would feel that. we have had to live with it our entire lives. GZ was not on board with what the young man dished out and decided to kill him rather than get a good old fashioned whooping; which by the way he would have walked away from. because TM did not have a weapon. He should have at least received manslaughter.
How iit that j-37 has so much faith that George Zimmerman is telling the truth? This was a one sided verdict as soon as I found out there were five white women.I am a parent of a adult male.The law is the law,but people know how to manipulate their desires. Trayvon did not have the opportunity to tell his side of the story. May the Lord have mercy on those who refuse to note that this all started because George Z. disregarded orders. Editing out the truth of the facts does not make it right. I am grieving and praying . for the Martin family
Trayvon "got mad and attacked him?" How does the juror know that? Suppose Trayvon got scared and attacked him? Suppose he attacked Trayvon first - after all, he got out of his car and confronted Trayvon in some manner. You assume that GZ was telling the truth just because he is the only witness? Please.
So what would you have done. Put Zimmerman in prison for following a suspicious person and reporting it to police? Please consider all the evidence.
Juror B37 needs to keep her mouth shut. Her comments are insulting.
how can we protect our children from people who I believe will start a fight and shoot to murder but claim "stand your ground" law?
I'm a 60 year olf white woman from South Africa, how can you say the USA has the best judicial system in the world when a 17year old Trayvon Martin is dead and he is getting the blame, did he not have a STAND YOUR GROUND RIGHT, was he not profiled by a over zelous grown man with a gun, who's to say that did not George Zimmerman and his brother not blow his injuries out of portion, the pavement was a weapon, REALLY!!!!!!! there was not justice for Trayvon. You people have double standards.
Please CNN! The trial is over, verdict in! Those of us that live in Central Florida would appreciate that the news drop it! There are further cases on the prosecuting of the States Attorney's office in the future and this has been ignored.She went way above her post by getting involved with a case in a county that did the right thing. Pressure by news media and the usual "face time" pot stirrers caused this to become national. It has done a great deal of damage to this area of Florida. It had nothing to do with race. No one has brought up the fact that Mr. Zimmerman was just reporting suspicious activity in HIS FATHER'S NEIGHBORHOOD! It became a problem when a young man decided to use violence instead of talking his conversation with the girlfriend We will never know because she will never tell his conversation completely. The tension is felt in central Florida and Mr Sharpton and Mr Jackson have done a huge deal of damage to race relations and to Sanford. They need to shut up and stay away while we lick out wounds.
Oh yes stop putting up the 13 year old Travon Photo! He was NOT 13...misrepresentation of people and twisted truths are not acceptable just to further news...This young man made a fatal mistake his size and attitude caused his demise, If Mr Zimmermen had dies he would have been tried as an adult! please put that in your news.
Never really liked florida after recall said to myself their system might be screwed up down there. Then these jurors only confirmed what I suspected earlier "There is something definately wrong with these people" One of the jurors said Zimmerman didn't break any laws? What law did Mr.Martin break? Race problems still exsist down there
To the juror that went public... My heart hurts for you (and the others), but if Trayvon where a white boy in a black neighborhood, and shot by a black man, and the facts were presented the same way to an all black jury, would the verdict be the same? I would seek more than State justice if my white son were FOLLOWED and KILLED in any neighborhood if he were under 18! Zimmerman is an adult, Trayvon will never see adulthood. Trayvon could not even buy beer. All he did was buy Skittles and a Watermelon tea... Just food for thought...
I found this show to be very biased against white people. Why didn't you talk about Trayvon being on marijuana that night and the stolen jewelry the Police found in his bedroom a few weeks before that. He was also trying to buy a gun the week before, WHY!!!! Did he have more apartments to break into. He was no choir boy and you insulted the jury and George Zimmerman. I see that you playing right into the leftists civil rights movement that is going on here.
After reading the interview of Juror B37 with CNN I believe Trayvon was the one on trial not Zimmerman. How do anyone of us know he did not try to walk away. Didn't he have a right to stand his ground also? One man's word against a dead boy's word.
The physical evidence and eye witness testimony did not point in that direction. In fact it solidified Zimmerman's story.

We are a small hobby kennel located in Central Kentucky close to Lexington, Louisville and Cincinnati. We love labrador retrievers for their happy, good nature and easy trainability. We have purposely developed a line that may be used as Service Dogs as they are calmer and easier to train than the average field labrador.
We use very good bloodlines, but for optimal results it is important to take your new puppy to puppy kindergarten and obedience class to learn discipline so they will be able to come in the house and be a part of your family. A really well trained labrador is capable of holding a sit stay or down on command in your living room and being a welcome guest.
Two of our greatest accomplishments have been to produce working service dogs and a dog that saved his owner's life. As more people are growing older and disabled service men return, there is a great need for service dogs and puppy raisers.


text: With something like 50 bike races — road and mountain — spread over four days, the Sea Otter Classic has become the unofficial kickoff to the U.S. cycling season. It has also, between the racing and the beer tents, become an important quasi-trade show for the bike industry, with demos, meetings and major product launches. For bike geeks, no event can match Sea Otter's mix of racing action and pure gear porn. Of course, we're not racing (have we mentioned the beer tents?). We're prowling the festival grounds in search of product highlights. Here are some of the standouts from our first afternoon at the show, from the likes of Shimano, Santa Cruz, SRAM and Ibis. Check back for more. Above: Shimano's XT Makeover Shimano's workhorse XT group gets a top-to-bottom makeover for 2011 that borrows heavily from the top-end XTR group the Japanese company launched last summer, including dual pedal options for race or trail applications, redesigned hydraulic brakes with cooling fins to dissipate heat, and a 10-speed rear cassette. "XTR is the group for bike fanatics," said Shimano PR manager Devin Walton. "XT is for bike enthusiasts, people who ride a lot but also have maybe a surfboard, a snowboard. People who have a lot of fun and need dependable gear."The gold coating seen on a growing number of Fox suspension components isn't cosmetic. It's Kashima Coat, an electro-chemical surface treatment borrowed from the Japanese motorsports industry that reduces friction for smoother and more responsive movement suspension parts. Even dry, the treated surfaces feel like they've got a thin coat of oil. The new Kashima RP23 rear shock is slated for release in 2012.The Spider is the No. 2 shoe in Sidi's off-road lineup but it has become a favorite of cyclocross racers for its comfort off the bike — relative to Sidi's uber-stiff top-end offerings. But 'cross racers absolutely destroy their shoes. So for 2011, Sidi has redesigned the Spider's upper with a more durable synthetic material that should better withstand run-ups and barrier-jumps in the autumn muck of 'cross season. $330Exciting insoles? Sure. Why not? Fi'zi:k didn't spend a lot of time naming its latest product. They're just called Fi'zi:k insoles. But they are as intricately built as a lot of shoes, with varying-density memory foam and a carbon-fiber heel cup. Heat-moldable material running the length of the insoles allows them to be custom fit to the user, using a special in-store oven. Should be in stores by late summer.Proper fit on a bike can mean the difference between walking upright after a ride or giving up the sport altogether due to a rebellious spine. Look's 695 uses an ingenious mix of shims and eccentric inserts that can raise, lower, shorten or lengthen the handlebar stem; alter the length of the cranks; and manipulate seat-post length and stiffness. The 695 can literally grow or shrink with the rider. But it's also a serious race machine — as evidenced by the Look-sponsored pros currently racing the bike in Europe. And by the $8,500 price tag for a complete bike with Shimano Dura-Ace.With frame weights and suspension technology improving as they have, the best platform for the majority of mountain bikers will be something with five to six inches of suspension travel. Ibis' brand-new Mojo SL-R offers 5.5 inches, and the swoopy carbon frame is light enough that this complete bike tipped the scales at just 22.4 pounds — not much heavier than my first road bike. SL-R frames will be available in June, at $2,500.Want it lighter? Make more of the parts out of carbon fiber. While the approach might be straightforward, however, the engineering can be tricky, which is why Magura's new MT8 hydraulic brakes are reportedly the first disc brakes in the world to boast a carbon-fiber master cylinder. It's also why they cost $400 — per brake.Using a process called plasma electrolytic oxidation — from a British firm specializing in surface treatments for applications like military machinery and F-1 cars — Mavic's "Exalith" treatment hardens the aluminum in their top-end rims so much that they require special brake pads. The resulting matte-black finish also looks badass. Prices for Exalith-treated wheel sets start at $1,800.DT Swiss' Tricon line of tubeless wheels expands for 2011, for both road and mountain. Tubeless? Yes. The special rims form an airtight grip on the bead of tubeless-specific tires. Why? Comfort and durability. The system can run slightly lower air pressure without risking a pinch flat, since there's no tube. We've run tubeless wheels for four years now without a single flat.Hate hills? Like hills but want them to hurt less? SRAM's Apex road group boasts crazy-low gearing that makes gravity slightly less of a hassle. New for 2011, Apex comes in Euro-friendly white, like that iPhone 4 we never got to buy.Santa Cruz's heralded Blur XC race bike gets a substantial makeover for 2011. Though the geometry and key rear-suspension design remain, the frame gets a tapered head tube for a stiffer front end, plus a new carbon layup and other tweaks that get frame weight down to a claimed 4.1 pounds with rear shock. That should deliver complete bike weights close to 20 pounds. In stores May 2011.We've never heard of Yelo Velo before, but we didn't leave its booth without buying some of the new company's 100 percent plant-based, biodegradable lubricants and solvents, like this $9 El-Bo Grease made from seed oils.

Gisele Bündchen for H&M Fall 2013 Ad Campaign
Cozy Up to Gisele's Fall 2013 Campaign For H&M
Cozy Up to Gisele's Fall 2013 Campaign For H&M
Behind-the-scenes photos of Gisele Bündchen's latest campaign for H&M have been floating around since April, but today the brand released some of the official Fall 2013 ads. In the images, the matriarch of the world's most photogenic family is seen cozying up to a few of the warm sweaters and outerwear H&M is offering up for Fall. Photographer Lachlan Bailey shot the campaign on the streets of London, and his blending of Gisele's exotic beauty against a background of crisp, white buildings and wrought iron makes for a distinctly international campaign. H&M has had some heavy hitters in its campaigns of late, most recently working with Beyoncé. But for Bündchen, this is almost a homecoming. She last worked with the brand for its Spring 2011 campaign. A look at her new ads, here in the gallery.

Month Seven of Pregnancy
Video Transcript
WebMD Pregnancy App.
At the end of the seventh month of pregnancy, fat begins to be deposited on your baby. Your baby is about 36 cm (14 inches) long and weighs from about 900 - 1800g (two to four pounds). Your baby's hearing is fully developed and he or she changes position frequently and responds to stimuli, including sound, pain, and light.
If born prematurely, your baby would probably survive after the seventh month of pregnancy.
Month Eight of Pregnancy
Your baby, who is now about 46cm (18 inches) long and weighs as much as about 2.27 kg (five pounds), will continue to mature and develop body fat reserves. You may notice that your baby is kicking more. Baby's brain is developing rapidly at this time, and he or she can see and hear. Most internal systems are well developed, but the lungs may still be immature.
Month Nine of Pregnancy
Towards the end of the third trimester, your baby continues to grow and mature. His or her lungs are nearly fully developed. Your baby's reflexes are coordinated so he or she can blink, close the eyes, turn the head, grasp firmly, and respond to sounds, light, and touch.
Your baby's position changes to prepare itself for labor and delivery. The baby drops down in your pelvis, and usually his or her head is facing down toward the birth canal.
By the end of this pregnancy month, your baby is about 46- 51cm (18 to 20 inches) long and weighs about 3.2kg (seven pounds).
