PITCHING: RHP Josh Beckett
NOTES: As announced after Saturday's game, RHP Brandon League was activated from the 60-day disabled list and was at Fenway Park on Sunday afternoon. Gibbons said the club would likely keep him in a middle relief role to see how he pitches before possibly transitioning League into the setup role. League said he's hitting between 93-95 mph with his fastball, and he's had to learn to adjust to not having the overpowering high-90s heat. … Wells was out of the leadoff spot for the first time since June 30. … DH Frank Thomas was given the day off for the first time this season, minus in Interleague games on the road.

good to see wells is back in the #3 hole. I think he can serve us better driving in runs, and Reed belongs in the #1 spot as our sparkplug
Wells in the three hole perfect.I belive they will give him some hitable pitches with Stairs in the four hole.This year Stairs is a hitting machine who would have guessed it.Welcome back League.Iwas reading everybodys comments on pitchers past and present it makes for some very interesting reading.Although we are all humans were not all built the same.What I am trying to say is some pitchers can throw 130 per game and some 90 per game.Don't all of you think it's up to the manager to recognize this and use his pitchers according.Which Gibbons does not.
Reed Johnson definetely belongs in the leadoff spot, he gets hit alot and he should have the highest on base percentage on the team. Vernon Wells is certainly a solid 3 hitter, how about Overbay in the 2 spot? I always like a good hitting lefty in that spot. What do you think of that Jays fans?
im all for overbay in the #2 spot now that everybody's healthy. rios needs to be in a position to drive in runs, and overbay was thriving in the 2 spot earlier in the year. but either way here works for me. i dont think it will make a huge difference if rios and overbay switch spots
thegarry: But you realize that since Burnett is a strikeout pitcher, if you pull him after 90 pitches he'd often only be in until the 5th or 6th inning? So then the question is, why bother paying a guy that much money who rarely is going to get into the 7th inning?
ukgocats: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I actually remember Overbay really struggling in the #2 spot. I think he even admitted to not feeling comfortable batting in that position, so Gibbons dropped him down the order just before his injury. In general, Overbay's numbers this year have not been great. Hopefully he picks it up in the second half….
Did anyone else just see those two back-to-back brutal outfield plays by Wells and Rios?
hem.gold I was never for Burnett comming to Toronto in the first place.Burnett was on the DL I think six times before JP made him a rich man.What made him think he was going to stay healthy from then on.Now take the Doc.he's a horse Marcum is stronger than McGowan I don't know about jessie yet.We have League in the bullpen who's the DUMMY warming up Jansen duh.I'm sure League can go two then Accardo and give the rest of the bullpen the day off.
Win, lose or draw
For the record, I think Gibby made the right decision lifting Jessie and bringing in Downs to face Coco.
And how about Jessie-what a start. Goes head to head with the winniest pitcher in The American league and out duels him. In Fenway Park no less.
Jessie did a great job.Game not over yet but who knows.Is beckett being left in to long????.
Am I the only one that thinks the Blue Jays need to go after Rangers SS Michael Young? He is a productive RBI man and he hits for a high average, not to mention great defense. The Rangers appear to be shopping around their players, possibly looking to rebuild. We don't necessarily need him at the trade deadline this year, but maybe at the Winter Meetings in the offseason. I think if we dealt the Rangers one of our pitching prospects we might be able to pull him out of Arlington (not to mention that he is Vernon Wells's best friend)
thats probley not going to happen with the huge contract he signed just a little while ago. as much as i'd like to see michael young in a jays jersey, hes a cornerstone, and probley isnt one of the people texas will give up. nice thought, but probley not to realistic. and even if it was possible, the price that texas would ask for would be a huge one, probley two elite starting prospects and a positioned playing that will make it to the bigs (ex, a mcgowan, and marcum with a lind type of player)
I agree with you about going after him. I can not remember the last time we had a productive short stop. Although, what pitching prospect did you have in mind? Because I would hate to part with Marcum or Macgowen.
80 mil over 5 years is the contract he signed. that would be huge on top of the wells contract we have. thats alot of money. unless the rangers would pay for a good chunk of that 🙂 maybe we have to go after some one more like felipe lopez. i think that would be a better idea. or that short stop in colorado. any idea who are the free agent shortstops in the comming year anyone ?
I was thinking maybe a guy like Janssen put together with Lind + class A prospect could fetch Young.
yes he does have a pretty big contract, but I'm just throwing ideas out. As for Tulowitzki, I seriously doubt Colorado would part with him. Lopez would not be much of an improvement, and I would defintely not support a trade to get him, especially one that included core prospects.
yea man i agree with you all the way. i would like to see young, its just really hard to see happening. just being realiztic. i mean i would love for him to be in toronto. but i think we gotta look at idea that are more possible.
and btw ukgocats
for lopez, we probley wouldn't be looking at our elite prospects, just solid ones, like maybe wolfe, dejong, or a roberts. maybe package two of them, with a low A player. who knows.
yeah still im just not a big fan of the way he plays. I personally dont have a problem with McDonald being the everyday shortstop here, but it doesn't look as if that's going to happen. We do have a surplus in pitching prospects (as long as Burnett and Chacin get healthy, which is a big if), and I would like to see some production out of the shortstop position. Clayton was an awful signing and he should be riding the bench, even if he does have one of the coolest nicknames in baseball…
Young turns 32 this year. As much as I like him, I'd hate to see the Jays tied to that contract. His production was down last year and this year it continues to slide.
His HR's fell from 24 to 14 last year and to date this year he only has 4. In addition his BA has dropped this year.
I don't expect those numbers to improve as he ages-I can't imagine why The Rangers extended him to 2013.
by he i mean lopez
Still he would give increased production out of the SS position. He may not be the answer, I just dont like our situation at SS right now
yea i agree. but we might just have to live with mcdonald/clayton for now. any other ideas for other possible shortstops besides the ones alrighty mentioned ?
One of the short stops I like is Hanley Ramirez of Miami. Only 24, BA of .331, 14 Hr's and a salary of $402k. Not great defensively, but still young.
I also like John Macdonald.
He's one of the best defenders there is, and seems to have developed a bit more of a bat this year. Great attitude-good team player.
i really like ramirez too. but no way florida parts with that kinda talent at that young of an age. hes got two years left before arbitration. so i dont see them letting him go period. hes a special player for sure. that would be an amazing move if we got him althow.
as for mcdonald. bat – not so much. hes never gonna be an offensive star. incredible defensivly. like absolutly amazing. but i think we need more offence out of shortstop. your thoughts ?
Yeah there is no way Ramirez leaves Florida, especially for the kind of players we could offer.
I agree about McDonald, but the Toronto organization doesn't. I would be perfectly happy with him playing everyday, but that does not look like it will happen.
Zero chance that Hanley Ramirez is dealt, he is in his 2nd full season, he is not a free agent for another 4 years or so. The Marlins own his rights for a while. Marlins have descions to make on Cabrera and Willis, what to do? Trade them or try to sign them? Cabrera isn't much of a fielder but will give you 40 H.R.'s per season and those type of guys don't grow on trees.
Well Miami is weak in power hitters in the outfield. They're also very weak in left handed power hitters so a Lind for Ramirez deal might have appeal.
Short stop is primarily a defenseive position, theres nothing wrong with us staying with macdonald and waiting for one of our youngsters like Santos to show up
I think they will wait to see how Hermida and Abercrombie progress before they make any moves for an outfielder
You know most of us have said all along that we have a good team despite all the injuries the Jays have had.How big is it to go into Boston with one ACE and three rookies and split.My take very very big.Jessie proves today he can pitch in the bigs.Now for Young "BIG YES".If the Jays can pay Burnett[sorry gsummer]11 mil per year they can pay young.Trade Thomas keep Stairs get Young.
The days of SS being a primarily defensive position are over, especially in the hard-hitting American League. If the Jays really want to contend, they need someone who has a career average well-above .240 and who can do more than hit singles and occasionally move a runner over. I love Johnny Mac, but he's a bench player at best. Last year, for example, his numbers dropped dramatically as soon as he was handed the everyday job.
Although it would be great to get Young from Texas, that ship has sailed. The Jays don't have nearly enough to offer Texas to pry Young away from them. Also, a Ramirez for Lind deal is kind of a pipe dream — Ramirez has at least proven he can hit at the Major League level, Lind has not. As with Young and Texas, to get Ramirez from Florida the Jays would have to give up a whole lot more than Lind.
As far as Burnett goes, the Jays are stuck with him whether they like it or not. Pitching is hard to come by, but not enough for teams to take an injury-prone guy like Burnett off our hands. I think the Jays should probably hold onto him, but he definitely shouldn't be our #2 guy. A #2 guy needs to be able to pitch more than 90-100 pitches in a game without his arm falling off. Burnett's got great stuff, but he's proving that he can't be trusted to step it up when the Jays really need him to eat up innings and show consistency….
i think it will come hopefully. we've seen some excelence from burnett, and he was at the loseing end when we went though that rough offensive strech in may, and burnett was solid. sure he hasnt done maybe but we might have hoped for, but this guy still stricks out a load of guys, and can be solid (provided he's healthy… witch doesnt happen much but still)
as for short, we are going to need an upgrade, weither it be in the off season, or some deal at the deadline. mcdonald is a wiz with the glove but we need a aaron hill type of hitter at short. as much as we would all like the young/ramirez type of player, chances are, it wont happen. we need at least someone solid, in the middle class, who can hit for an average at least, who can play solid defence, and occasionaly hit a few out.
anyways good game today
litsch looked extremely solid. its good to know we have a few good young guys who can throw a good game.
Yeah, I just looked up Ramirez's stats — this guy's amazing! If the Jays could somehow pick him up, J.P. should be GM of the year!
Canadian: Don't get me wrong, I'd love for Burnett to fulfill all the hype and promise. But what use is a hard-throwing, strike-out pitcher if he can't pitch more than 100 pitches in a game? As I mentioned earlier, 100 pitches often doesn't get a strikeout pitcher past the 5th or 6th inning. That definitely doesn't cut it for a so-called #2 starter!
its not happening. ramirez is young, and is still in the orginasation's control for the next 5 years. if florida actually was dumb enough to trade away a talent like that, the asking price would be through the roof. maybe even more then young would need. besides this guy is making minnimum for this year and next year. if they trade him away that would be the steal of the year for toronto. but i really dont they're that dumb… i dont think they are anyways 😛
Are you for real when you say Lind for Ramirez? Ramirez was the rookie of the year in the N.L. last year. Adam Lind couldn't even carry Ramirez's jock. There is absolutely no way of that deal happening. If you know anything about baseball you wouldn't even suggest that.
sure its not great, but there has been games when burnett has pitched into the 7th with around 100. im alright with that. 7 innings is solid. burnett might have to take some advice from doc, and learn to pitch more to contact. i noticed earlier in the year, he was doing that and having sucess. the strickouts will always be there, but i know he can pitch effectivly. i dunno. maybe im crazy on this one, but i think he can and will be the solid 2 starter we want and need. maybe not every night, but 8 out of 10 nights i think he can pitch into the 7th or 8th with a count around 100 – 110. and even if his arm seams to strugle with that, i think its possible.
we spent the money, and we gotta make the best of it.
and its not like we havnt seen good nights from him. i think your focusing on his last few outings before the injury more then all the starts hes made in the past 2 years.
Canadian: Yeah, let's hope he finally pulls it together. Do you know when he's scheduled to come back? Last I heard he had another "setback", so he might be out longer than expected.
And, definitely, it'd be great if he could learn a bit from Doc. Not only how to pitch for contact, but also how to carry himself like a true Major League pitcher. I think Jeff Blair of the Globe and Mail put it best when he described Burnett as pretty "flaky"….
i think we'll have him mid – end of august. (dont take my word on it, im not sure) but i dont want him rushing back. and u know if it takes that long so be it. id rather have him healty then being flaky and comeing back and then getting injured again. then i would really flip 😛 who knows really. i just like the though of halladay, burnett, chacin, mcgowan, and marcum – all healthy. i think when he pitches to contact hes more effective. of course he'll still get his strickouts that way, but its the mindset that he needs. and i'll agree with u about needing to carry himself like a mlb pitcher. i think (and hope) it will come sooner or later. hopefully this setback, will get him to thinking. and who knows maybe we'll see a better burnett when he does finally get back (lets hope)
Mid-August? Man oh man, I had no idea it was that bad. I was thinking sometime in July. Oh well, maybe he'll learn a thing or two watching from the bench!
Good talking to you, buddy. Have a good night….
yea you too man. lets hope we take 3 out of 4 or sweep the yanks eh 🙂
*my bad – begginging of august. first week – ish is when hes suppost to be back. mis read the article i was reading (he being burnett)
It's great to read all the postings from everyone good baseball talk then along comes bosoxbrian with his ignorant remarks to gsummer for no reason but to stir up c-rap.The last thing we need is to get gsummer going.Ifor one like the fact that he spends a lot of time looking for new sites for us and he knows his baseball.I don't think he needs to be attacked.
You need to ignore people like bosoxbrian , they crave attention and when you respond to him you are giving him his attention fix . He trashs the Jays and Yankees on Boston's blog . Today he couldn't accept the fact " Jays no name pitcher ( as he referred to Litsch) beat Boston's ace "
Yes thank you gsumner for all your baseball input , its greatly appreciated
Any person that thinks Lind for Hanley Ramirez is a even trade is a person that knows absolutely nothing about the game of baseball. Who in there right mind would say that or even think that. This gsumner is the same guy that said if Burnett got a 100 million contract it would o.k. with him. I don't bash the Jays and Yankees, I call it the way I see it. Your no name pitcher is a no name pitcher because in less than a year he'll be riding the bus from Syracuse and points beyond. I give the Jays credit, if you read what I write, apparently that is tough for you to do. The Jays have kicked Boston's tail in the last year or so. I call it the way I see it. For some reason some fans on these sites are blinded by the organzation that they root for and I think people like that are very simple minded people who can't think for themselves.
GO to the boston site and read where beckett I got outpiched I lost.I respect him for that.
I wouldn't say Beckett got outpitched during this game today. Beckett seemed to be in alot of jams but got himself out of them. The reason the Jays won was because this Red Sox offense has disappeared way too many times this year. On Thursday night Halladay gets racked and then today they get shutdown by this no name kid. The no name kid did well today but let's face it next time out he'll get tagged. I believe he'll be pitching in front of family and friends his next time out vs Seattle on Friday night. If Beckett pitches like this he'll get alot of wins in the second half. When you don't have your best stuff and still only allow 2 runs that says alot to me.
I love baseball , all baseball . I have my favorite teams and I appreciate all teams . Go read your own postings were you call the Jays a very poor poor team among other comments . You also post nasty comments at the Yanks site . You say we have no pitching after Halladay , well 2 of those pitchers just beat your sox. Who do you have after Beckett ? Dice-k ? Schilling who is on the DL again ? Dice is a good pitcher but at this point not great and after him you have nobody . Sox are a very good team this year but they got outplayed today ,atleast Beckett has the courtesy to admit that and give kudoes when he is outpitched . Beckett is a strikeout pitcher , Litsch is not so he is going to induce groundouts
That no name kid almost pitched a no -hitter his first time out . He will settle into his role as a pitcher and be around for a long time . Every team has its ups and downs , this may be Boston's down. Jays have had more than their share of downs
If your happy with the way the Jays have been put together coming into the 2007 season, it is obvious to me you are blinded my friend. When the season started I thought the Blue Jays were nothing but a .500 team. After Halladay there starters are quite average and there pen before Ryan had major question marks. I thought that Boston and N.Y. would fight to the end like they did back in 2005 but N.Y. got a rash of injuries and Boston's pitching ruled. Remember Beckett also went on the D.L. as well for 15 days. For some reason people forget about that. When I say after Halladay the starters aren't there, I can't believe that you Blue Jays fans were happy about the rotation coming into the year. If the Red Sox started the year with that roatation Theo Epstein would have been run out of town. You Blue Jay fans are accepting it and to me if I was a Jays fan it would be unacceptable to me. That is why I say J.P. has done a poor job with this team, he is the one that assembled this team. Red Sox pitching is one the best in baseball and for you to say otherwise you really don't know what your talking about. Please read comments here but if you don't know what you are talking about DON'T COMMENT!!!
Juan Nieves pitched a no hitter does that make him one of the greatest lefties of all time? Roger Clemens has NEVER pitched a no hitter. The no name kid has pitched very well his last 2 starts that does not translate into someone that is going to be around for a long time. Remember Glavine and Smoltz how many losses they had when they were young pitchers? How about Bonderman that 03 season pitching with the Tigers how many losses he had but you could see that he was going to be a good one. I don't think this no name kid is going to be much. Just my opinion here, you guys don't know what to do when someone comes on here and has strong opinions. Remember what they say about Toronto baseball fans not the most knowledgeable fans in the game!!!
Litsch has a lot of composure on the mound nonamebrian also he is a rookie only time will tell wheather he will make it or not.when halliday first came up he to threw a one hitter but before he made it he had to go all the way back to -a- ball would you have called him your name noname to.by the way his name is Jessie Litsch. now say it over and over until you learn it.If you want us to treat you like an adult act like one dont insult our team or us.If you want to talk baseball with out insults we're game.
Yanks got a rash of injuries..lol…. We have 1 of our starting pitchers still pitching not to mention all the other injuries jays have suffered . Beckett's 15 day on the DL doesn't compare to Burnett going down yet again , Doc's 3 weeks with surgery , Chacin being gone since April. Where has anyone said they were happy about our pitching situation , try reading what is posted . Thompson, Zambrano and Ohka are no longer with the Jays for good reason but the rookies that have all stepped in to take over have done a great job and atleast helped to keep this team going . As for pitching , I believe Tigers and Angels have it in the AL and one of those 2 teams will win the AL title.I call it like I see it and I am far from blind . Jays outplayed Boston today , why is that so hard for you to accept
I actually watched Halladay pitch against Clearwater at old Jack Russell Stadium and he threw less than 10 pitches in that 1 inning of relief. My ex-girlfriend who I went with said who is that guy and what is he doing here? He really stuck out to her and she knew nothing about the game of baseball. I know who the no name kid is. He is from Pinellas County where I live and went to U.S.F. over in Tampa. I don't call anyone names on here, for some reason you guys take it personal and I think that is funny. I have strong opinions about the game and how teams construct there bussiness and I think the Jays front office is not good. The Jays had some mo going into the winter after there 2nd place finish in 2006 and they almost won 90 games. They added Thomas and I thought that was a bad move. Why bring in a aging superstar? Who did they add to there rotation? Zambrano couldn't throw a strike if his life depended on it. Ryan when healthy is one of the better closers in the game but before him there was major question marks in my opinion. Remember every team that breaks camp has question marks and some are answered early and others become strengths of the team. Boston when they broke camp had the makings of a very good rotation and that is the case right now. Also you have to get a couple of guys to come out of nowhere and that is case with Okijima, he has been lights out for the Red Sox. When it comes to blogging here I say bring strong opinions here and no name calling, act like adults, remember it is just a game and to me it is great entertainment.
There are things in life you can gurantee and they are the following. Death, taxes and A.J. Burnett getting hurt. If there was anyone out there that thought he was going to make 30 or more starts I would like to sell them a bridge in Brooklyn. Chacin I will give you that one, he is a good #3 or #4 starter. Remember about Chacin he had that D.U.I. and that is never a good omen. Halladay being out that time hurt but the Jays were falling apart there a bit anyway.
I say and I have said all year that the Tigers are the team to beat in baseball and Boston and the Angels are a notch below them. Yankees got there rash of injuries because they hired a strength coach that was hanging out at a country club in Florida. Great move there by the Yankees.
It amazes me since Jays fans are supposedly so "ignorant" when it comes to ball , why would an avid Bosox fan want to talk ball here ? All fans are passionate about the team they love but they also need to be realistic . I am a realist, I love the Jays but I am not blind to their faults . A little praise goes a heck of a lot further than constant criticism . I would rather look at the glass as half full than half empty
I did call gsumner some names but that was after he said stuff to me. That was Friday and that is all over with. Let's stick to baseball here and as I say bring strong opinions. Have a great night everyone.
I'm a Red Sox fan and believe you me over the years I had to look at there team as half full. Many times the season was over before it started under the Yawkey's and John Harrington. I know what your saying there but some stuff let's open your eyes folks. It is right in front of you.
My eyes are wide open . Now you have to admit Beckett got outpitched today …lol..common its not that hard to say…..lol… Like i said earlier Boston is a great team but even great teams have down time . Have a good evening everyone.
Beckett went 8 innings and this no name kid got into the 7th. What is Beckett supposed to say, my offense has disappeared again. Many times this year the Red Sox hitters have made average pitchers look good, the no name kid gave up 9 hits. Once again the Sox did not come up with the big hit. If they don't turn that around they will be a early exit in the playoffs.
Hey I heard they put a price on your head on The Yankee site. Do you wear out your welcome on all sites or do you have preferences?
How does it feel to have a rook outpitch your ace?
Our guys played well in this series. To go into Boston and have 3 youngsters pitch and split the series is impressive. To have a raw rookie outpitch the ace is more impressive. Beckett will probably have nightmares.Could set him back for the season.(lol) I particulary like how Francono kept him in there, piling up the pitch count. There will be a price to be paid for that-and you heard it from me first.
Too bad we didn't face Shilling-we would have bombed him too.
Hey guys
I didn't say we would get Ramirez. I said I'd like him-particulary better than Young.
It was Boston's defence along with pitching that gave up 2 runs to the Jays . Litsch's pitching along with Jays defence prevented Boston from scoring more than 1 run. Boston had 11 hits not 9. How come its alright for you to defend Boston yet we are too sensitive when we defend the jays ? Like I said we all love our teams
Hem-would you do me a favor
and back off your rhetoric on Burnett. It's getting boring to continually read the same thing. This is not meant to upset you or anything, but let it go-theres more topics to chat about.
The no name kid gave up 9 hits, read what I wrote please. You know the team you root for is not very good because the Jays are happy about the split while I am sure the Red Sox are not too happy about it. Big difference there in the organazations and the fan base.
To gsumner your team scored 2 runs and that is a bombing? Now that is funny to me. I have strong opinions on baseball and for some reason some folks can't take it. You said Lind for Ramirez, read what you wrote.
At the end of the day-there's only one thing, as a Jays fan to remember.
Our guys had "must win" situations in the Oakland series, Cleveland series and this game today.
And guess what-they dug deep in every one of them and won all 3. Jessie pitched in two of these games and Towers the other.
Say what you want-this team is starting to build character.
We get stronger every day from here on in. It ain't over till the fat lady sings-and she hasn't even found the band yet.
Now bring on those nasty Yanks-lets whip their behind
I would have to agree with you there gsumner. The Jays are starting to turn the corner and splitting the 4 game set at Fenway might get the Jays rolling. I am not sure that the Red Sox can recover. LOL…………..
Hey Bosox-we came into your house and split-with 3 starting pitchers who for all intents and purposes are rooks. Your ace couldn't compete today-he lost..
When you come back to The Rodgers Center, we will treat you appropriately and wipe the carpet with your guys. If I was a Red Sox fan, Id be embarrased-getting beat by a 22 year old kid still wet behind the ears. lol
And hey if FLorida would do a deal of Lind for Ramarez-it would be great. Would they-likely not. But the discussion at the time was "favorite shortstop".
Now quit trying so hard to start a confrontation and go back to the Yankees site-I hear theyre looking for ya.
The no name kid gave up 11 hits , go check the box score . Since they were playing Boston , that means Boston got 11 hit, 1 run . I do read and comprehend…try it sometime
correction……Boston did get 11 hits but only one run ..Litsch gave up 9 runs.I apologize . They still had 11 hits and our defence shut them down
The no name kid gave up 9 hits over 6.2 innings. Downs gave up 1 hit and Janssen gave up 1 hit. That adds up to 11 hits. I am giving out a math lesson tonight, is anyone interested?
The no name kid gave up 1 run not 9 runs. Hey indigo I think you are too tired, get some rest.
The jays have won two boston has won one let me see what was it now oh now I remember it was the world series need I say more. indigo you hit the nail on the head when you said we love our team.One thing we don't have to do to get off is make fun of other teams.I like it when we play boston or new york most of the time it's good baseball.but I hate to have our team made fun of all the time by nonamebrian.
Oh Bosox-One Last Thing
Who is your third base coach? He should be fired. Everyone else in baseball knows you don't run on Rios. Your guy was out by a mile of two.
Also talk to Francona and tell him he should be getting Beckett to toss 120 pitches every game. It'll likely improve him.
Actually garryguy Boston has won more than 1 world series. You need to get your facts straight. When you folks get on here get your facts straight and bring strong opionions. It is better that way. Don't you Jays fans agree? You guys don't know what to do when someone comes on here knows what is going on with baseball.
oops 9 hits not runs….work is getting in the way right now…..sorry
i totally agree with your post earlier about building character, and its good and refreshing to see a true fan thats got some loyalty to a ball club.
im tired of your constant demeaning remarks against the jays. this is a JAYS site for JAYS fans. if you have something productive and meaningful to say, say it. but if your gonna keep coming with this ****, get off the site. i dont think anyone really wants you here. we know litsch gave up 9 hits. we're not saying he is the next nolan ryan. we are applauding him because he is a rookie and he came into an intmidating Fenway Park and outpitched the ace.
bosox,It doesn't matter
how many hits Jessie gave up or whether he has a name or not. What matters is he beat Beckett. We win-you lose.
I heard Beckett has developed a Jessie complex-can you comment on that? ROTFLMAO
I wouldn't fire Demarlo Hale, he is actually a pretty decent 3rd base coach. I don't really agree sending Oritz with Rios out there. Toronto's 3rd base coach is very good, Brian Butterfield. Beckett's first outing since July 5th so throwing 120 pitches will not kill him, Beckett is a horse.
bosox, you're quite right Boston has won more than one world series. One recently and the other in 189–what was it again; 1892 or 1983?
First of all I am not a guy and secondly I stated I don't pretend to know everything . Opinions are like ……. we all have one . I will give english lessons if you want them bosox . I realized my mistake and apologized for it
I think Beckett along with the pitchers are wondering where is there offense? Making no name pitchers look good. Boston will be in the playoffs and Toronto will be where gsumner?
Horses come and go. If you don't care for them right-they don't perform. Remember what happened to Shilling after he pitched an almost no-no. Watch
Sort of like a female-know what I mean?
Boston has won more than 1 but the others were against Christopher Columbus and who knows who else. Sad but true the Jays have only been around since 1977 and they have 2 titles. Those 2 titles had some really great players on them. Cetainly J.P. will never see that.
Don't count the chickens until all the roosters are in the barn, son. It's a long ways from over yet. We're coming on strong and your guys are getting beat by 22 year old rooks.
Know what I mean???????
McGowan as well after he threw his no no. They both got bombed after, Schilling is a borderline hall of famer and it would be nice if he came back. Some say he'll be back at the end of this month.
Clearly you have an issue with JP-why?
Does it bother you to finally see one Massachusetts guy do well?
McGowan after he came close to his no no.
Well, the difference is Shilling went on the DL. If you over use and abuse-you can no longer use.
Watch what happens to Beckett if Francono keeps using him like he did today. It sort of reminds me how he used Pedro.
I would like to see J.P. do well. It is always nice to see Mass guys do well and New Englanders. I don't think he has done a very good job. Theo Epstein has done a great job in building there farm system not so good with the free agents. Some of his trades have been either really good or just plain old bad.
Pedro was burned out before Francona came there. Pedro is a little guy and Beckett is very strong. You can't even compare that. How about Dice-K, he throws at least 100 pitches per game and only Zambrano from the Cubs have averaged more pitches than Dice-K. Beckett's issue is he has blister problems.
I doubt Shilling will ever make the Hall. Only thing he has going for him is a bloody sock-which apparently was nothing other than a ruse.
Amazing what you Boston guys do to get press, must be an inferiortity complex to New York. What do you think?
Francona only managed Pedro for 1 year so when you say how Francona used Pedro to me that does not make any sense.
Hey, I say have Beckett throw 120 pitches a game-he's a horse. If I managed Dice k would be out there for 9 innings regardless of pitch count-even if it got to 150.
Who do you blame Burnett's issues on? How about Halladay????? Sometimes it comes down to the individual. Burnett is a wimp and that is pretty much fact. He feels something and he shuts it down, I am sure Burnett isn't the most respected guy in that clubhouse.
Bosox-too bad you don't manage the Sox-would you apply for the job-maybe Francono is on his way out?
Certainly looks to me that you know more about baseball than he does.
I don't know, I havent been in the clubhouse for a while. I will tell you this thogh, Burnett got a ton of respect from the other members of the team when he pitched like he did with Halliday down.
By the way Halliday rarely thows over 100-105 pitches-unless it's a 10 inning game.
So Schilling took the mound on game 6 of the A.L.C.S. with catsup. Just what Schilling wanted to show was weakness in the ankle, are you kidding me???? Yankees were quite dumb that night with a older pitcher and the bad ankle they never tried to bunt. How come nobody talks about that? Schilling also pitched game 2 of the World Series with a little blood on it and nobody talks about that.
Francona is a good manager, of course his job is easier beacause he is surrounded by alot of talent. How about your manager Gibbons? Not the brightest around and J.P. gave him an extension. Brillant move by J.P.
I would be willing to bet that Burnett is looked at a little different in that clubhouse. Sometimes you have to take the mound when your not your best and that guy certainly doesn't have the moxie. That is obvious, he has the hardware but not the software.
It wasn't blood-we both know that.
Anyway no way does that get him into the Hall.
Gibby is sourrounded by a lot of talent as well.
Hey, I'm tired and done playing with you tonight.
So go back to the NY board-those boys are looking for ya and put a price on your head.
See you when we wup your butts in The Rogers Center
I will give you Francona is a good manager and Boston is a good team . Even Boston has some questionable players and Epstein has made some rather poor decisions . I am not a fan of Gibby but Ted Rogers isn't going to listen to me …lol…
gsumner: No offense to you either, but you've got to stop picking fights with people on these boards. The other night was bad enough with your slew of anti-American comments and juvenile insults, but this is getting ridiculous.
As far as Burnett goes, I don't understand why I can't talk to another poster on this board about him when there's no one else around but me and him. You've got to chill out, my friend….
hem.gold in the first place gsummer did not start this nonamebrian did. and as for burnett gsummer has to respect your right to give your opinion.I think shilling will make the hall but I wonder if he will dye his socks red again to wear in lol.Tower power tomorow go Jays
gsumner and myself last night were talking baseball here. I don't know why you 2 have an issue with that. gsumner has his observations and I have mine, some we agree on and others we disagree. Not a problem here and it isn't with gsumner as well I would assume.
The bickering has made this a less fun place to talk Jays and baseball.
Bosoxbrian: this will likely be the only response I direct at you. Please don't turn this site into a comment wasteland. I'm sure you think you represent the 'devil's advocate', but there's a much more mature and effective way to do so.
To everyone else: if brian doesn't smarten up, ignore him.
On the lighter side, here's hoping Josh can continue his recent good performance.
I have been reading the last couple of days with no post and it is my opinion that Bosoxbrian is really a Jays fan trying to stir up some action here. I mean look at the number of post recently compared to a couple weeks ago to the beginning of the season. Good job Bosoxbrian.
Nice one, you got us good.
tower you'r right if we want to keep it up with bosoxbrian we can do it on the boston site where they don't like him either.This is the last time I post anything on this site with his name on it.Now for josh towers I hope he keeps it up he can pitch when he wants to.Litsch was good last night the defence was also good to a point.Beckett pitched a good game also but it was our turn to win.I hope the doc finds himself for his next game he looks troubled on the mound.To indigo I did not know you were a girl we have no way of telling .If I for one said anything to offend you you have my most sincere apology.Jordan or anyone who do you think should lead off wells or johnson. last night they were both ofers.I think JP told gibby to put wells back in the three hole for a better chance at more rbi's.One day ago gibby said he liked wells in the leadoff spot and he had no plans to change it.
Why switch when something's working? Wells was doing well as the leadoff guy and I personally think Rios should stick to the No. 3 spot. If they want Wells out of the No. 1 hole, maybe slide him in the two spot with Johnson leading off. So basically, for now, I like a combo of Wells and Johnson in either of the Nos. 1-2 spots, with Rios hitting third. Johnson looks like he's trying to get his timing back still. Three months off can do that to a guy.
Jordan, actually I thought Bosox might have been sent by MLB to stir up interest, since he's been activally posting on so many sites.
I agree with your assessment of Rios being in number 3 and not changing something that's working.
I like Johnson leading off, Wells number two. Rios is starting to bud into the MVP we all thought him capable off. He is also starting to get hits at important times to tie the score or win the game, so I like him number 3.
I hope our guys aren't too motivated for the Yank series. I can imagine them wanting full back payment for A-Rod's little incident here. Just hope they don't try too hard.
I would try that tonight.
I like the jays' chances of taking 3 of 4 in this series. K. Igawa (sp?) hasn't been lights out exactly, Roy Halladay is due for a good start tomorrow and Shaun Marcum has shown that he can hold his own (albeit coming off a rough outing).
I belive your right Jordan.gsummer I'm with you on retaliating after all this time. A-Rod is a cheat and he's not worth the effort.We dont have to worry about Towers knocking him down slow fastball.have company have to go.
A-rod plays 3rd base. I don't think he will want to stand on the bag if a gamer like Zaun or Johnson is sliding in.
But my personal preference is to wup them and bury them for the season which we'll do if we sweep.
Some interesting arms in the minors.
All the pr's on this years' draftees seemed to focus on the bats; but it appears we have some up and coming arms as well. Check these guys out.
Gulf Coast: Brian Letko 18.2 innings era of .000; James Doughen 21 innings, 20 k's, era of 1.29.
At the DSL-2 team: Carlos Rodriguez, 24 innings, era of 1.46 with 20 k's.
Auburn-Cecil Brett, 1.1 innings with 18K's, era of 1.10
Lansing-Adrian Martin: 43.1 innings and an era of .83.
New Hampshire: Seth Overbey started the season at Lansing, went 24.2 innings era of .000, earned his promotion to Dunedin where he went 10 innings and gave up one run, earned his promotion to New Hampshire.
So this guy has jumped from A- to A+ to AA in under 3 months. He has had one bad outing in New Hamsphire where he gave up 5 runs-other than that it's been .000. Must be special and he's only 23.
A-Rod better look out in this series because the Jays are going to came after him hard, let's hope it will be a clean play. Perhaps Halladay will line him up with a pitch on Tuesday. What A-Rod did up in Toronto was a bush league play and to me that is classless for sure. With Igawa pitching and with all the right handed bats that the Jays have they should be able to knock him out by the 5th and then work on that shaky Yankees pen. Igawa has been a disaster signing by the Yankees!!! This past winter he might have been the worst signing in baseball.
gsummer I like those stats but check out cecil brett thats a lot of k's.So far it looks like we have a lot of pitchers doing a great job.Lets hope a few of them make it.only one more hour for the game.I can hardley wait for Jordan to post the lineup.enigma posted a neat lineup.
the garry
Sorry typing mistake-he pitched 16.1 innings for the 18k's. thanks for noting the mistake

Planting a GPS device in a government worker's private car is an unjustifiable invasion of privacy, a New York Civil Liberties Union lawyer argued Thursday, urging a midlevel state court to exclude information gathered that way by investigators and order a new hearing for a man fired for time sheet violations.
Attorney Corey Stoughton said the constitutional privacy rights of Michael Cunningham and his family were violated by the monthlong tracking in 2008 without a court warrant. He was fired last year after a hearing officer concluded he claimed pay for hours when he wasn't working.
The monitoring continued during evenings, weekends and a family vacation, Stoughton said. The GPS was placed on the car in a state parking lot, where the batteries were also exchanged once, she said.
"It was their private family car," Stoughton told the five Appellate Division justices. "There's no cause that can justify such an intrusive search."
Assistant Solicitor General Kate Nepveu countered that the tracking was reasonable based on indications that Cunningham was filing bogus records for work, including off-site meetings. "It has the reasonableness pattern of continuing misconduct," she said.
New York's top court ruled in 2009 that police cannot place GPS trackers on suspects' vehicles without first getting a court warrant showing probable cause that the drivers are up to no good.
Appellate Division Justice Edward Spain on Thursday questioned whether there is a difference between using a tracker in criminal cases like that one and administrative cases like Cunningham's. Justices also questioned whether the GPS device could be used if it were turned off during an employee's off hours.
The lawsuit sought a declaration from the state Department of Labor that putting the GPS tracker on Cunningham's family car was a violation against the state constitution's guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures. Cunningham was director of the Office of Staff and Organizational Development at the department, a post he held for 22 years during almost three decades employed by the state.
The state Office of the Inspector General conducted the investigation at the Labor Department's request. Asked whether the office still uses GPS trackers in its investigations, spokesman John Milgrim said Thursday, "The office uses various tools as appropriate and permitted by law."

SAMUEL RUSSELL (page 327)
Samuel Russell, who is practically living a retired life in the city of Kewanee, Illinois, was born in Wilmington, Clinton county, Ohio, on the 6th of October, 1834, but was only seven years old when he removed to Delaware county, Indiana, with his parents, John and Susanna (Wickersham) Russell, the former also a native of the Buckeye state, and the latter of Virginia, although she was only three years old when she became a resident of Ohio. Our subject's paternal grandfather, James Russell, was born in Ireland, and was a lad of thirteen years when he came with his parents to the United States, the family being among the early settlers of Ohio, where he grew to manhood and spent the greater part of his life. His death occurred in Delaware county, Indiana. In his family were eleven children, of whom nine reached years of maturity.
John Russell, the eldest of this family and the father of our subject, received but a limited education, learning to read, write and cipher after he attained his majority. He was only able to attend school a short time during the winter and then had to wade three miles to the school house. His early life was devoted to agricultural pursuits, and at the age of nineteen years he learned the plasterer's and brick mason's trades, at which he worked for about twenty years. In 1841 he removed to Delaware county, Indiana, where he purchased eighty acres of land, and was engaged in farming throughout the remainder of his life. Politically he was first a Whig and an abolitionist and later a Republican, and religiously was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he served as class leader and steward for a number of years. He died in 1857 at about the age of fifty two years, and his wife, who long survived him, passed away in 1881. She had made her home in Henry county, Illinois, from 1859. They were the parents of four children namely: James who died at the age of four years: Samuel, our subject: Miriam, wife of Jeremiah Bickford, a retired citizen of Kewanee: and Caroline, wife of James Stafford, a retired citizen of Albany, Delaware county, Indiana.
When the family located in Delaware county, Indiana, that region was very wild, and on starting his children to school the father blazed the trees through the heavy forest that they might find their way home. There was scarcely a frame house in the county, outside of Muncie, the county seat, where there were a few. The dwellings were nearly all built of logs, with one door and one window, with large fireplace built of rough stone and mud, the chimnies being of split sticks and mud. Nails were not known, with the exception of a few made by the blacksmith. Wooden pins were used instead of nails, an auger or a gimlet being used to make the hole, in which the wooden pin was inserted and driven in solidly. The school houses were also built of logs, with seats made of small logs split in two parts, wooden pins being inserted on the round side for legs, thus giving a flat surface on which to sit. There was neither back or cushion to the seats. The roofs of the houses were made of split boards about two and a half or three feet long called clapboards, which were laid on timbers called ribs, and held there by poles laid on them, one pole being used to a tier of clapboards. The floors were made of puncheons, that is slabs split out of large timber from three to four inches thick, while a board placed on pins formed a desk on which the scholars practiced writing about ten or fifteen minutes a day, that being all the teacher though necessary to devote to that accomplishment. Amid such primitive surroundings, young Russell acquired his education, walking a mile and a quarter to school each morning and returning home at night. He was only permitted to attend in the winter, and never longer than thirty-five days in one year. At the age of eighteen his education was completed, so far as his school life was concerned, and he then devoted his entire time to work. He remained at home until his removal to Illinois in 1859, with the exception of a few months spent in Minnesota and Illinois.
On the 31st of March, 1859, Mr. Russell married Matilda Zehner, who was born in Wayne county, Indiana and is the third in order of birth in a family of nine children, whose parents were Benjamin and Hester Zehner, natives of Pennsylvania, and early settlers of Wayne county, Indiana, from which they later removed to Delaware county, the same state. Of the six children born to Mr. and Mrs. Russell, Francis died at the age of two years, Cora at the age of three, and Mary at the age of fourteen. John B., a graduate of Wheaton College and now superintendent of the public schools of Wheaton, Illinois, married Isabel Gunn, and they have two children, Edna L., and Everett C. Frank H. is a physician, now connected with the Presbyterian hospital of Chicago. He is also a graduate of Wheaton College, Rush Medical College and the Theological Seminary of the Congregational Church of Chicago. Eva M. is a graduate of the Kewanee high school, and is now taking the literary course at the Chicago University.
In 1859 Mr. Russell and his family came to Henry County, Illinois, and located on a farm of one hundred and sixty acres which he had purchased in 1856 in Clover township, at that time all wild and unimproved. He erected thereon a house, fourteen by twenty feet, in which he lived while breaking his land and placing it under cultivation. On disposing of that property in 1865 he a partially improved farm of one hundred and sixty acres in Wethersfield township, where he made his home until his removal to Kewanee on the first of January, 1891. During his youth he learned the brick mason's and plasterer's trade with his father, but has not followed that occupation for forty years. While engaged in farming he gave considerable attention to the raising and feeding of stock, generally keeping about one hundred hogs and twenty head of cattle. He still oversees the management of his farm, though he has retired from active labor. He is an active member and steward of the Free Methodist Church. Politically he is a prohibitionist.

Two years ago, I was in a phase not terribly different from where I am now. I was at home, it was a few days after Christmas, and I had just laid down for sleep when a jolt of excitement shot through my body, beginning at the top of my spine and ending at the soles of my feet. See, I was inching closer and closer, one day at a time, to the day when I would leave on jet plane to a faraway city to begin a new adventure. Okay, granted, it was a less-faraway city and a much shorter adventure, one that had a very different outcome (hopefully) than the one I prepare for now. Just bear with me.
Seeing as how this post is coming mere days before the beginning of a new year, I suppose it's convenient to make it a "year in review" sort of thing, but, just to be clear, I don't feel obligated to constrain life's arcs to an arbitrary unit of time. This particular post picks up primarily in late 2010. Even with my hesitance to impose a narrative structure onto life's chaotic happenstance, I can comfortably say that the current arc of "my story" began then and with what one might conservatively call a "series of unfortunate events." (Incidentally, my sole New Year's resolution is to reach a point of comfort saying "my story" outside quotations.) But first, a bit of back story to get us rolling. After all, the beginning of one arc in a story is quite often the end of another.

Published January 13, 2015
Suspected insurgents detonated a motorcycle bomb that killed three security volunteers Sunday in Thailand's insurgency-plagued south, following explosions the previous night that left one person wounded, police said.
An explosive device hidden in a motorcycle went off in the commercial district in the city of Pattani on Sunday morning, killing three civilian security volunteers who were on duty at a tower clock and wounding nine other people, Police Col. Tuanday Juthanan said.
Pattani is one of three Muslim-dominated southernmost provinces in predominantly Buddhist Thailand. More than 5,000 people have been killed in the region since an Islamist insurgency erupted in 2004.
On Saturday night, suspected militants planted seven bombs across Pattani city, but security forces managed to defuse five of them, Tuanday said, adding that one person was wounded in the two blasts.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra declined to comment Sunday on whether the attacks were in response to the killing by marines of 16 militants this past week at a marine corps base in Narathiwat, another mostly Muslim province. It was the deadliest toll the Muslim guerrillas suffered since more than 100 died in a single day nearly a decade ago.

and weekdays....meaning I am the only caretaker.
noticing the things that need to be finished.
paint, floors, walls, dirt, weeds.
Hard to do when you have your hands full.
Which I do...I just needed a break.
Been enjoying the home-made chai that Ocean has been brewing,
I just get to sip it.
Finally dusted off the picnic basket my mom and dad gave me for my birthday,
about 3 years ago.
We had fun, just us girls.
It is always so welcoming for me, the cool air, crisp leaves, and pumpkins.

Bad Day for Baseball…
The Pride of the Red Sox…
I am sure that there are Yankee fans rejoicing tonight at the news the Boston Red Sox and manager Terry "Tito" Francona have mutually decided to part way. There is no rejoicing on this Blog. I have a great deal of respect for Tito and he was/is arguably one of the best managers in baseball.
When Joe Girardi was named manager of the Yankees, I was a bit disappointed. Of course, I've been a huge fan of Don Mattingly since he came up through the Yankees farm system and he was my favorite choice for manager despite his lack of managerial experience. I liked Girardi the player, but he was never one that I was able to fully embrace. I was concerned about the red flags that he exhibited during his year of managing the Florida Marlins and didn't think that he'd be able to make the transition to the 'Bright Lights, Big City'. I was envious of the Red Sox and their manager because he was the standard that I wanted Girardi to achieve. To Joe's defense, he has but he is still not quite on the same level as Tito.
When the Red Sox first hired Tito, I simply viewed him as a Philadelphia Phillies reject. To me, he hadn't proven himself as a manager and it was hard for me to take him seriously (kind of reminds me what I felt when the Yankees named Joe Torre as their manager). For years, the Red Sox had brought in guys that I just viewed as the manager of THAT team. None were able to capture my respect and admiration, and that includes Don Zimmer who I didn't develop respect for until years later as a Yankees coach. But Tito was different. In 2003, the Red Sox lost a heartbreaker in the ALCS, thanks to Aaron Boone's home run. Yet, the following year, the Sox were back. Even though his team fell down 3 games to none, they stayed calm and persevered toward the AL Championship, and the first World Series Championship since 1918. He was responsible for the end of the phrase "Curse of the Bambino". He followed up with another World Series Championship in 2007, making him the most successful manager in the modern history of the Red Sox.
When I look at the 2011 Red Sox, it is a team that should have prevailed. They had a superior pitching staff, and the additions of Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford made it a much better team than the 2010 version. But the injuries, most notably, starting with starting pitcher Clay Buchholz and later Kevin Youkilis, were devastating. That's really beyond the control of the manager. He has to play with the hand he has been dealt. The Red Sox recognized the flaws in the starting rotation, yet the best they could do was former Seattle pitcher Erik Bedard. Nothing against Bedard, but it has been years since he was considered a stopper due to injuries. So, if there is any blame, it has to reside with GM Theo Epstein for failing to make the right move. While Epstein made the unsuccessful Bedard deal, the Detroit Tigers made a deal with the same Mariners team to bring them a starting pitcher (Doug Fister) that is as responsible as any for the Tigers' late season success. Epstein was clearly outdone by Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski, and had he made the right move, the Red Sox would be playing Game 1 of the AL play-offs tonight and Tito would still be manager.
If I am Jerry Reinsdorf, I am already on the phone calling Tito's agent. He is the perfect choice to follow the highly volatile Ozzie Guillen for the Chicago White Sox. Chicago has a sound and supportive ownership group and the team is willing to make the necessary moves for success. I think it would be a great fit, although it would probably be better as a Yankees fan to see Tito in the National League. Another option would be the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's not that I want to see Don Mattingly fired, but I think any change in ownership will also result in a change at the managerial level. Regardless of where Tito goes, some team is going to benefit greatly. If he doesn't take a managerial job and becomes an ESPN analyst, we still win because we'll get a first-hand view of his wisdom and insight.
Tito, you were a worthy opponent and a great champion. I wish you nothing but the absolute best in whatever the future holds for you. We look forward to your next adventure!

For a gal who has supposedly sworn off modelling, Agyness Deyn sure has been making the magazine rounds. There's her racy, NSFW shoot for Interview, and , now, a starring role on the March cover of InStyle UK. Retirement, clearly, is for wimps.
Getting into character as that other blonde British waif, Twiggy, our Agy poses for Rankin in a series of graphic black-and-white prints from the likes of Michael Kors and Moschino, her blonde bob parted to the side and her baby blues coated in mod liner. Noticeably absent on the newly minted Mrs Giovanni Ribisi? A wedding ring — yes, we looked.
Considering the couple's whirlwind courtship and surprise marriage, the lack of convention is almost expected. Not that the Mancunian is above playing the role of the dutiful wife.
"He's incredible," Deyn tells the magazine of her new hubby. "He's my hero."
Bless. The Pusher star adds that marriage has brought "a lot of really good stuff" to her life, including a sense of stability that was lacking during her heady modelling days.
"I was a nomad," she says. "That was my life. Being in a hotel, not knowing where you are."
Oh, it couldn't have been all that bad. Henry Holland on speed-dial and round-the-clock room service? No wonder she can't quite quit this fashion game.

Samba Schools in Rio
You probably have heard about the samba schools in Rio de Janeiro. Since most people don't have a clear picture what they are I will explain it to you. The name samba school itself is a bit misleading, it's not as many think where you go to get lessons in Samba, far from it. A samba school is more like a sports team that once a year during Carnival compete in a big parade competition held in Sambódromo (the Samba stadium). The samba school is often connected to a particular favela and functions a bit like a community center. The members of each school work hard for several months building parade cars, making costumes, practicing dancing and drumming. All this is coordinated around a particular theme with skill, finesse and soul.
Rehearsal Parties
All samba schools in Rio have so called rehearsal parties, it is more or less a samba party with part of the school's drum section (around 50 of them) and a small show displaying the skills of the dancers. These parties are held in big warehouse like buildings who can hold many thousand people, their main function is to raise money but it's also a way for the community to meet and party. They are open to the public and great fun!
Getting To the Samba Schools in Rio
Many tourists go to these samba rehearsal parties, most of the year it is practically the only way to experience the powerful rhythms of Carnival Samba. Displays by skillful dancers and some serious ass shaking guarantees a good time. Getting to these parties is organized through hostels and hotels, since most of these schools are located out of the way it is a simple way to get there. Going in a cab is also an option, Portuguese and finding a driver who knows the way helps. Mangueira and Salgueiro are two examples of popular schools, they both have a break from when Carnival ends until August when they start and go on all the way until Carnival starts again.

The fight between Fox News and the President could finally be coming to a close.
President Obama will grant the conservative news network an on-camera interview, Fox's senior White House correspondent Major Garrett Tweeted Monday as he confirmed week-long rumors of the President's appearance.
"I will interview POTUS on camera Wed am here in Beijing," Garrett wrote, using the common "President of the United States" acronym.
"4 other networks will too. 10 mins per. Many had asked. Can say now," Garrett wrote.
The interview is a landmark move in the feud between Obama and Fox News, which began when Obama and his aides attacked the network earlier this year for biased news reporting that Obama said looked more like a "talk show" than a news program.
The network operates "almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party," White House Communications Director Anita Dunn said on CNN in October.
Fox News was quick to fight back against Obama, saying in an October statement that the White House's "war on a news organization" was keeping it from handling "critical issues that Americans are concerned about l ike jobs, health care and two wars."
Fox News talking heads Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly were the main targets of the Obama administration, while the White House exempted several correspondents, including Garrett, from its indictment.
Obama snubbed Fox earlier this fall on his September media blitz, when he sat down with NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN but steered clear of Fox News.
The president is in Asia for the first time, sitting down with world leaders including China's Hu Jintao.

Travel hassles challenge families going to Sochi
Unlike London or Vancouver, traveling to Sochi, Russia, for the Olympics is challenging — even for the parents of a gold medal favorite.
As Canadian snowboarder Mark McMorris works on training to win his slopestyle event, his parents have worked on being able to see it. "It's been a challenge, a big challenge," said his father, Don McMorris.
The biggest hassle has been hotel accommodations. The reservation the family booked has changed three times. A Russian travel agency switched their first hotel after security concerns. Their new hotel was double-booked, leading to another.
"We need to make sure we've got lots of patience pills," Don McMorris said. "You can't overreact, because it's out of your control."
The steep price might keep some family members home, including Tracy Barnes. On Sunday, the U.S. biathlete gave her Olympic spot to her twin sister, Lanny, who missed making the team because of an illness. "I would love to go," said Tracy Barnes, whose family is unable to go because of the cost. "I've been trying to get some information on flights."
Amid the winter sports, there are the haves and the have-nots. The national governing bodies for skiing and snowboarding or figure skating have resources that speedskating or curling don't.
U.S. Figure Skating will provide grants of at least $5,000 to the family of each skating Olympian to help defray the cost of the trip. The governing body has partnered with Co-Sport, a travel company and authorized Olympic ticket seller, to set aside a block of rooms at a Sochi hotel for families of the skaters.
Since August, Naama Kellman, U.S. Figure Skating's family and friends program coordinator, has been holding monthly webinars and sending out newsletters to those planning trips to Russia. She had been working with 65 families of potential Olympians until the 15 team members were selected last weekend.
U.S. luge athlete Matt Mortensen, who was an alternate in Vancouver, said he didn't want his family to make travel arrangements to Russia until the Olympic team was selected. "So now it's kind of a last-second thing," Mortensen said. To obtain a Russian visa, documentation of a hotel reservation is required. (His family initially was quoted a package price of $8,000 without airfare.)
They also need to apply for a spectator's pass to enter the Olympic Park and attend events. Those passes can only be secured in advance and require a passport number and photo. All spectators have to be accredited, an Olympic first.
With safety concerns escalating, the national governing bodies of U.S. winter sports held a briefing with State Department officials last week to discuss security measures.
Russian authorities are primarily responsible for security during the Games (about 40,000 police and military personnel have been dispatched to the region), but the U.S. government also provides security for its Olympic delegation.
Athletes have faced more questions about security in light of the bombings in the southern city of Volgograd that killed 34 in December. Most say they are aware of the potential threats but have confidence in the security plans.
"I'm focused on the stuff that I have control over, which is myself and my performance," said luge slider Erin Hamlin, who competed in a test event in Sochi. "Obviously you have to have concerns and you have to be safe about everything. But as long as you're smart, I'm just going to do what they tell me to do. I have confidence that it will be fine."
Several Olympians said they aren't concerned about their family's safety either. First, though, they need to get there.
With hotel rooms, tickets and flights costing thousands of dollars, some athletes have turned to crowd-funding sites to help their families foot the bill.
Last week, U.S. speedskater Jordan Malone booked plane tickets for his wife and mother as a result of donations on the site GoFundMe.com. "I really can't thank you guys enough for your generosity," he posted on his page.
Others have struggled to attract donations online. After failing to reach her goal on the crowd-funding site RallyMe.com, the mother of speedskater Kelly Gunther turned to old-fashioned local fundraisers in Clinton Township, Mich., and Lorain, Ohio. "At one event, a firetruck pulled up with a $250 check," said Julie Sprague, Gunther's mother. "It was awesome."
The family of speedskater Patrick Meek got creative in planning the trip. Meek doesn't compete until Feb.18 in his 10,000-meter race, 11 days after the opening ceremony. Given the logistical issues, his parents will travel to Sochi to see him march in the opening ceremony, then they will spend seven days in Rome before returning for his competition.
"It's less of a hassle that way," Meek said.

I can't believe myself, barely able to keep up with minimum blogging currently, and now a member of the new Club: BAKED, a group that is baking through the book Baked Explorations. At first I knew nothing about Baked other than that they make a very popular brownie, so I was a little apprehensive about the new group, but I have so enjoyed baking along with the Sweet Melissa Sundays group and this is kind of the next chapter of that group, so how could I say no? Plus I really needed some new kitchen inspiration, and have missed blogging, so here I am!
Our very first recipe is New York Style Crumb Cake, hosted by our Club: BAKED creator, Karen at Karen's Cookies Cakes & More, thank you Karen! You can find the recipe here at Karen's site, and check out her jumbo muffin pan version. I happen to have a couple of those jumbo muffin pans and can't wait to use them with this Crumb Cake recipe, yum!
The cake was easy to put together, no problems with the recipe, whew! I baked it in an insulated 9 by 13 pan for the full 55 minutes, which was just perfect. I was worried if I used an uninsulated pan it might be a little to crispy crunchy around the edges for our liking. You can't see the big crumbs very well on the individual piece in the photos, so here is a picture of the cake just out of the oven, with plenty of giant crumbs :)
This was delicious, my kids loved it and so did my mom who was visiting. Picky husband is at work and hasn't sampled this yet, but I think it will be a huge hit for him when he gets home! This is definitely the recipe for Crumb Cake, no questions asked!

Proud rugby league super dad Steve Morris is hoping to welcome his family's third premiership winner on Sunday with son Josh just 80 minutes away from an NRL title with Canterbury.
Steve, who starred in the Dragons' 1979 grand final triumph over Canterbury, is already part of an exclusive group of eight premiership-winning fathers whose sons have achieved the same honour after Josh's twin Brett won a title with St George Illawarra in 2010.
And now the Morris's are on the verge of an even rarer family trifecta if the Bulldogs can beat Melbourne in Sunday's grand final at ANZ Stadium.
Father Steve would dearly love it to happen for 26-year-old Josh, who has responded brilliantly to early-career disappointment.
Josh was squeezed out of St George Illawarra and joined the Bulldogs in 2009, a year before the Dragons won the title.
Steve, who along with his sons also represented NSW and Australia, felt deeply for Josh when Brett celebrated his 2010 grand final victory in the Dragons' jubilant dressing room.
"It was a bit sad seeing Josh standing there. We all felt for him because he should have been there. He never wanted to leave the Dragons but he had to because of the salary cap," Steve told AAP.
"He's a Bulldog now and he's really enjoying his time there. He's totally committed to them and it would be a great result if he could win a grand final.
"He's done everything he possibly could to get himself to this point and it's great to see him close to achieving his goal.
"He really deserves it. He's thoroughly professional in everything he does in rugby league. He hasn't put a bad one in for the Bulldogs all year and this is something he's been working on all his life.
"All the family are right behind him and very proud of him."
Steve, a brilliant attacking halfback turned winger who won the Dave Brown Medal for man of the match in the 1979 grand final, loves the way the Bulldogs play footy.
"Obviously I'm a Dragon, but I've followed the Bulldogs closely the last four years because of Josh and they are a really great team to watch," Morris said.
As for advice, Morris said he always keeps it simple with his sons.
"I certainly don't tell him what to do," he said.
"He (Josh) is one of the best footballers in Australia. I might say one or two things but I don't tell them how to play because both of them are brilliant.
"I just text them and wish them good luck and might say something simple like play your own game but that's about it."
A win for Canterbury would see Steve Morris join Canterbury's 1980 premiership winner Garry Hughes as the only player to have more than one son win a competition.
Hughes' boys Glen (1995) and Corey (2004) both landed premiership rings with the Bulldogs.
The other father-son premiership combinations are Jack Spencer (Balmain 1946-47) and John Spencer (Balmain 1969); Bob McCarthy (Souths 1967, 1970-71) and Darren McCarthy (Canterbury 1988); Bill Mullins (Easts 1974-75) and Brett Mullins (Canberra 1994, Sydney Roosters 2002); Allan Fitzgibbon (Balmain 1969) and Craig Fitzgibbon (Sydney Roosters 2002); John Sattler (Souths 1967-68, 1970-71) and Scott Sattler (Penrith 2003) and Craig Young (St George 1977, 1979) and Dean Young (2010).

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Drew Brees threw a touchdown pass in his 47th consecutive regular-season game, tying the NFL mark set by Johnny Unitas.
The New Orleans Saints quarterback found Marques Colston for a 20-yard touchdown with 3:33 left in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, allowing the Saints to tie the score.
Packers fans, already sensitive about refereeing calls after Monday night's replacement official debacle in Seattle, booed the regular officials after they thought Colston should have been flagged for offensive pass interference on the play.

Request for a preliminary ruling from the Conseil d'État (France) lodged on 6 March 2019 — Ministre de l'Agriculture et de l'Alimentation v Compagnie des pêches de Saint-Malo
(Case C-212/19)
Language of the case: French
Referring court
Conseil d'État
Parties to the main proceedings
Appellant: Ministre de l'Agriculture et de l'Alimentation
Respondent: Compagnie des pêches de Saint-Malo
Questions referred
Must the Commission's decision of 14 July 2004 1 be interpreted as declaring that only the reductions in employers' contributions are incompatible with the common market, on the ground that the reduction in employees' contributions do not benefit the undertakings and therefore cannot fall within the scope of Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, or as also declaring the reductions in employees' contributions to be incompatible?
In the event that the Court finds that the Commission's decision is to be interpreted as also declaring the reductions in employees' contributions to be incompatible, must the undertaking be regarded as having received the full amount of those reductions or only a part thereof? In the latter case, how is that part to be assessed? Is the Member State required to order recovery from the employees concerned of the part of the aid from which they benefited?

LITTLE FERRY, N.J. — The Little Ferry Police Department's newest officer is equal parts playful and obedient.
Quentin, 3, greeted Daily Voice with kisses and a big jump.
He also heeled as soon as his partner, K-9 Detective Ron Callahan, told him to, then sat quietly, panting with excitement.
"When he's working he's working," said Callahan, who is going on his 20th year as a handler -- the longest tenure in Bergen County. "When he's not, he's not."
Quentin is Callahan's fourth four-legged partner and the first Belgian Malinois — the other three were German Shepherds. He was donated by the U.S. Park Police and has already assisted in some drug cases.
Callahan took to him quickly.
"It's more or less of a calling," the detective said. "Once I started, it felt like it was a good fit. It's been going strong ever since."
Since they're on call 24/7, Callahan and Quentin do everything together.
The Callahan clan doesn't mind. The kids help out and mom is a veterinary technician at Oradell Animal Hospital in Paramus.
There's only only catch: Quentin doesn't get along well with Laslow, who was retired by the department last month and also lives with the Callahans.
"[Police dogs] are here for the community," said Callahan, who often brings Quentin to D.A.R.E. and Boy Scout events.
"He's a big mush," he said. "But if when has to work, he's a very good worker."

Latvia/ 4. Current issues in cultural policy development and debate
4.3 Other relevant issues and debates
Cultural infrastructure
In recent years there was a very intense debate in Latvian society about the major Cultural Buildings Project called Jaunie trīs brāļi (The New Three Brothers, as a reference to the "old" Three Brothers - a grouping of three houses from the 15th-18th centuries in the old town of Riga). Three construction projects were envisaged: building a new National Library (http://www.rs.lv/en/new-clients/national-library-latvia), a Contemporary Art Museum (http://www.camriga.lv/) and a Concert Hall in Riga. Due to the economic crisis, the Ministry of Culture has cancelled the plan to build a concert hall. Also, the project of building a Contemporary Art Museum has been postponed. Still, the Ministry of Culture, in collaboration with private sponsors, and with the support of the EEA and the Norwegian Financial Mechanism, is developing a museum holding that, starting from 2010, is stored at the Latvian National Museum of Art.
The construction of the National Library was started in 2008. The project has overcome long lasting public and political debates and finally opened in 2014. The originally planned investment of 114.6 million LVL (around 163.7 million EUR) was reduced due to deflation. Gunnar Birkerts, who is the most famous architect of Latvian origin in the world, named the project Castle of Light.
Numerous cultural heritage buildings are under reconstruction. See chapter 4.1.
Three concert halls are being built in the regional cities: Cēsis, Liepāja and Rēzekne with the support of the European Regional Development Fund (see chapter 4.1). In 2013, The Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre was opened. All these initiatives in the regions increased the professional art supply outside the capital.
European Cultural Capital 2014
Four cities – Rīga, Jūrmala, Cēsis and Liepāja – applied for the competition to become European Cultural Capital 2014. The international jury made its decision at the end of 2009, choosing Riga to be European Cultural Capital (see http://riga2014.org/).
Involvement of citizens
The economic crisis has stimulated consolidation and involvement of citizens in public policy development. Also, cultural operators have established several umbrella organisations of major public cultural institutions such as the association Time for Culture (2010) and the Association of Contemporary Culture NGOs (2007). The Alliance of the Association of Contemporary Arts, NGOs and The Council of the Creative Unions of Latvia was established in 2009.The representatives of the Alliance work closely with the Minister of Culture, meeting weekly and being informed about cultural policy developments.
