Has Chris Pronger Been Traded to L.A.?
Jonathan Willis
June 12 2009 04:31PM
Has Chris Pronger been traded to the Los Angeles Kings for Jack Johnson and the 5th overall draft pick?
I've been updating this situation since Andy Strickland first broke the story, and at this point it's an awfully tangled web, so I thought that it might be a good idea to list the two sides ("yes, the trade happened/is going to happen" and "no trade has not happened/Hockeybuzz is stupid/The Score isn't a real network") of the story, and link to any analysis.
Pronger Has Been Traded
- Andy Strickland believed that it happened, then his post was deleted, then a new post appeared that said something might happen but he doesn't know what. I refuse to link to his current report for obvious reasons.
- Steve Ludzik of The Score says it's a done deal.
Pronger Has Not Been Traded
- Rich Hammond quotes Kings GM Dean Lombardi, who said, "Rumors not true".
- Erik Duhatschek quotes Ducks GM Bob Murray, who flatly denied that there was any truth to the rumour.
- Sportsnet contacted Chris Pronger, who also denied the rumour.
- Canwest News Service quotes Kings' spokesman Jeff Moeller who says, "Nothing to this deal . . . an unfounded rumour."
- And finally, TSN can't be bothered to even comment on the rumour.
I Can Add
So, since I like reducing everything to math, here's how I see it:
Dean Lombardi + Bob Murray + Chris Pronger + Canwest + Sportsnet + TSN >>>>>>> an iffy Andy Strickland + The Score
Given the current situation (you know, the day the Stanley Cup gets awarded) I wouldn't expect to see Murray and Lombardi acknowledging the deal. On the other hand, I'd expect some verbal dancing; not vehement denials.
In other words, while there is a slight possibility that this trade happens, logic overwhelmingly says that the backtracking reporter and Canada's #3 sports network are wrong, and everybody involved is right.
Pronger is still a douchebag

I'm guessing this leaked too early and it's being covered up until after game 7. At least we'll find out soon enough. If I was the Kings, I'd be demanding the Ducks 1st at least. Pronger for Johnson and #5 makes no sense to me. Pronger and Doughty would make a fine #1 pairing, but rakeboy doesn't have a contract for long enough.
June 12 2009, 04:47PM
The only math that matters, when it comes to Pronger, is: Lauren Pronger + Los Angeles = :) ⇒ Chris Pronger = an LA King
Seriously, true or not, I could see it happening. -Would be a brutal deal for the Kings. -Would be a great deal for the Ducks. With the emergence of Hiller and Bobby Ryan, talk about a successful mini-rebuild!

Lombardi refused to comment on that as well.

I would be more willing to believe this story if there had been another story run prior about how Dean Lombardi, a vocal critic of helmet laws, had recently had reason to reconsider that stance after striking his unprotected melon at high speed.
This trade makes zero sense, so while I would like to believe it true, I have to compare it to the fact that I'd also like to believe that Santa's coming to see me this winter, Wanye is a bored millionaire who frequently rewards witty posts with cash, and a project is underway to erase all reference to Rosanne Barr from the annals of North American history.
Can't be confirmed until tomorrow as per the finals trade freeze (I think Ferraro said this). TSN also said that Crawford wasn't gonna be the head coach in Dallas, but guess what?
Shaun wrote:

Has anyone disputed this today?
I just heard Gregor say that Wanye will buy someone from the NATION beers tonight if they go to Walk About Pub tonight...Did i hear this correctly and where is the Walk ABout Pub...
I'm currently believing this trade to be at least partially true. I'd expect they swap 1st rounder's though. Whats this I hear about Nick Lidstrom just about having a nut fatality. Thats why he missed games last round?

umm... the 5th overall pick is the ducks first round pick; they aren't offering their fifth round pick. i thought that was pretty obvious.

Why's that Lombardi made one of those vehement denials when asked about O'Sullivan being traded, and he admitted that he flat out lied afterwards. He's lied once to protect his assets, so why wouldn't you expect him to do it again?

P0ast of teh day.
In the words of JOEY MOSS... GRETZKY! @ Joey Moss. I think what he was trying to say was that the Kings should ask for the Ducks 1st along with Pronger for Johnson and the 5th overall pick.
Some talk on Calgary radio that if Brent doesn't come to Calgary that Dave Tippett is/should be heavily considered. IMO, if its not Brent, it should now be Tippett rather than Daryl. They don't seem to think there will be any trouble getting the go ahead from Lou on Brent though.
Many of us Kings fan believe this a three-way deal between ANA, LA, and OTT. Naturally, Heatley would be the target for LA.
I personally believe it could be three-way deal between ANA, LA, and TB, with Vinny being the target for LA.
I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Jonathan - you forgot one paragraph, titled..."Nobody cares that Chris Pronger was traded."
Dreger is reporting the Flyers are now talking to Robert Esche to partner up with Emery.
What is definitely true is that the trade hasn't happened - otherwise it would show up through the traditional media and on the NHL's site. Strickland at least reported it as "in the works", but The Score put it as a done, completed deal. That's a pretty big difference...
Shaun wrote:

Truer words have never been spoken, I second that motion.
Just a thought, but I got a feeling that Brian Burke could be in on this deal. He wants to move up and needs a number 1 goalie. With the recent hiring of Francois Allaire, could Burke flip Kaberle and the 7th for Giguere and the 5th?
@ RossCreek: Maybe thats why it hasn't gone through yet, maybe it a three team deal.

This has been confirmed (e5)
Pronger is president of the exclusive "CLUB LA DOUCHE" also featuring Mike Comrie
I could see the deal perhaps being true, but to announce the deal on the same day as Game 7 of the SCF seems rather tasteless. I'm thinking thats why everyone ran for cover.
I not only heard Pronger got traded, but that he was also just elected the mayor of Doucheland! What a putz @ss looser douche weasel.
Ya, to think that Pronger guy just listened to his wife instead of worrying about what the millions... AND MILLIONS of Oilers fans would think. *whats that honey? Oh i gotta go, the ol' lady's calling me to do something. Does that make me a douche?*
June 13 2009, 10:38AM
@ RossCreek: It does if worrying what your wife cared about things didnt matter before, and if you then proceed to lie about those fans "breaking into your house and burning your furniture, including your baby's crib" on a nationally syndicated uber popular radio show.
ya i wasnt one of those people that demanded an answer to why he wanted out. i didnt buy into all the BS rumors. who are we to pry? its his personal life.
but goddamn when i heard him lying on national radio i was PISSED! its one thing to be selfish and recind on a contract, its another thing to go and make it sound like the city rose up and burned his house to the ground.
oh ya, back on topic: Prongers a douchebag! :D
June 13 2009, 02:16PM
I'm not sure if I'm alone on this, but I think Chris Pronger is a monumental douche. Maybe it's just me, but I'd vote him douchebag of the millennium.

I have heard that Johnson is a bit of a headcase but not from reliable/serious sources, but still another terrific move by Murray. Adds Whitney and Wisnieski so Pronger can be moved and then turns Pronger into the 5th pick in this draft year with Johnson as a bonus? Are you kidding me? Whether he keeps the 5th pick or parlays it ("Hello, Burkey?") he's got a young and solid D with (it appears)#27 as the anchor/mentor, what looks like a solid goalie in Hiller (with Giggy as trade bait -- "Hello, Burkey?") and Perry-Getzlaf-Ryan for a #1 line/1st PP unit. Wow -- not bad, not bad at all.

Is the environment — your home environment — hazardous to your health? With new research continuing to show that unhealthy substances found in everyday products often pose higher risks for certain segments of the population, it's a question that might loom larger for you.
See also: 5 ways you can help the environment.
With good reason. Longer life spans may increase the chances that cumulative exposure will cause illnesses with long latency periods, such as cancer or Parkinson's disease, to develop. And older people are more likely to have conditions — such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease and diabetes — that can dramatically reduce their ability to withstand exposure to environmental hazards.
The stakes increase with age as our bodies tend to process and eliminate toxicants more slowly. "The slowing down of kidney, liver and immune system functioning all play a role," says Sandra Steingraber, the author of Living Downstream: An Ecologist Looks at Cancer and the Environment.
Weeding out potentially hazardous substances in your home can be a challenge, but it's not impossible. "We're not suggesting that you do away with all these things immediately," says Paul McRandle, deputy editor at the National Geographic Green Guide.

The Stormers bashed and crashed their way to a 19-11 Super Rugby victory over the Kings at a cold and soaking wet Newlands on Saturday.
The Stormers bashed and crashed their way to a 19-11 Super Rugby victory over the Kings at a cold and soaking wet Newlands in Cape Town on Saturday.
The sides scored a try each – both from rolling mauls in the second half – in a game void of any real excitement baring a late flourish from the visitors.
The miserable conditions meant that neither side was willing to risk playing expansive rugby and a dour first half ended with the Stormers leading 6-3.
As has been the case in most of their games this year, the Kings were forced to work very hard on defence as the Stormers enjoyed the lion's share of territory and possession. But the home side's continued inability to create space or opportunities for their outside backs had the sparse, shivering crowd frustrated.
Two penalties from full-back Joe Pietersen saw the Stormers take a 6-0 lead after ten minutes but Kings fly-half George Whitehead – a late substitution for Demetri Catrakilis – landed a penalty for the Kings to narrow the gap on the quarter-hour mark. The scorers were not troubled again before half time as neither side seriously threatened the try-line.
The trend continued after the break as Pietersen and Whitehead each doubled their tallies to leave the hosts leading 12-6 heading into the final quarter.
The Stormers eventually found their way over the whitewash in the 63rd minute thanks to a trademark line-out and maul with flank Deon Fourie the man to touch down.
Pietersen added the extras to put the Stormers 13 points clear and with that the result was as good as settled.
The Kings showed the fighting spirit that has characterised their season and struck back in the final ten minutes as flank Wimpie van der Walt crashed over at the back of a maul.
The Conversion was missed however, denying the Kings a losing bonus point.
The Kings came close to a consolation try in the dying moments after Bryan Habana threw crazy quick line-out into his own in-goal area but the home defence stood firm until the final hooter.
The scorers:
For Stormers:
Try: Fourie
Con: Pietersen
Pens: Pietersen 4
For Kings:
Try: van der Walt
Pen: Whitehead 2
Stormers: 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Jean de Villiers (capt), 12 Damian de Allende, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Louis Schreuder, 8 Nizaam Carr, 7 Deon Fourie, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 De Kock Steenkamp, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Brok Harris, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Steven Kitshoff.

One myth that is constantly perpetuated in the echo chamber of fantasy baseball analysis is that relievers are one-category players. Quite a number of very smart analysts have been telling competitors for years that relievers are good for saves and hardly anything else.
This analysis may be true for Head-to-Head leagues with short scoring periods and Roto leagues with high innings maximums — where ability to dominate often depends more on the bulk rather than the quality of innings pitched.
But in the vast majority of rotisserie leagues, the notion that relievers don't contribute value beyond saves just doesn't hold any water. In fact, people may be surprised to learn that a great reliever can contribute just as much value in ERA and WHIP as a good starter.
Let's take an example from the 2009 season.
Pretend two competing fantasy teams each finished the year with 1200 innings. The pitchers on Team A let up 500 earned runs. The pitchers on Team B let up 520 earned runs. Doing simple arithmetic tells us that Team A wound up with an ERA of 3.75 whereas Team B wound up with an ERA of 3.9.
In other words, Team A was superior in ERA based upon those 20 earned runs saved by his pitching squad.
Now, here's what most people miss: Great relievers have the ability to save just as many earned runs as good starters.
Don't believe us?
Let's take a comparison of two closers last year — Jonathan Papelbon and Fernando Rodney.
In the minds of some, the fact that Papelbon ended up the year with 38 saves and Rodney finished with 37 saves makes them roughly equal and proof positive that it's foolish to invest a high draft pick on Papelbon when a fantasy team could have gotten those saves from a guy who was hardly drafted before last season. But what about the ERA and WHIP contribution? Let's take a look at how many earned runs, walks and hits these two relievers allowed last year:
As you'll see above, Papelbon saved 23 runs and 33 H+BB over Rodney.

Operation Desert Storm (the codename for the Gulf War) began from August 1991 and lasted till February 1991. It was a war fought by a coalition of 34 countries, led by the U.S. Army against Iraq in retaliation of their assault and invasion of Kuwait. This war is also referred by other names, including First Iraq War, Kuwait War, Gulf War I, First Gulf War, or Persian Gulf War. The operation preceded the invasion of Kuwait by Iraqi troupes. Iraqi's invasion of Kuwait brought a lot of international condemnation, and economic sanctions were imposed on them by the United Nation's Security Council.
President George Bush, then president of the United States deployed military troupes into Saudi Arabia and encouraged other nations to send in their troupes to the scene as well. Afterwards, some nations sent in their military support in aid of the war, and the major contributors alongside U.S. were Egypt, United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia.
The prime cause of the war that led to the operation was a landlocked dispute involving Iraq and Kuwait. Iraqi's attempt to claim more territories on a land supposedly owned by Kuwait was rejected, prompting Iraq to engage in severe military battles to claim the land. There is an indication that Kuwait's over production of oil against the requirements of OPEC also aggravated their disputes. Iraq began complaining about this behavior of not respecting their quota in July 1990. However, they decided to take action by deploying about 30,000 military troops to the Kuwait-Iraq border. This act did not augur well with several UN members, and they urged Iraq to cede the land and evacuate the border. However, Iraqi's refusal and the subsequent invasion of Kuwait led to the intervention of the coalition forces.
An aerial bombardment aimed at expelling Iraqi soldiers from Kuwait began on January 1991. This was preceded by ground assault. With the combined strength of the coalition forces, Iraqi troupes were ousted from Kuwait territory. The firepower of the coalition forces was too much for the Iraqis and they ceased fire 3 months after the ground assault on them began. Kuwait was liberated and the coalition forces proceeded to Iraqi territories. This did not deter the Iraqi troupe as they went ahead to launch Scud missiles on Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other coalition forces. In April 1991, the UN Security Council passed a bill and initiated the terms for a cease fire between the aligned and coalition forces. The controversies surrounding the procedures for this cease fire later resulted to the outbreak of another war in 2003.

There are people whose major occupation is the collection of gold coins. These dealers collect these coins from a wide range of sources and sell them at a profit. If you are looking for gold coin dealers, most of them will be interested to do business with you.
Coins have been part of trading since 700BC. It is a symbol of trade in many parts of the world. In the past, dealership is based on pure gold coins, but several metals are now being added like nickel or copper. However, the pure gold coins are still the most valuable in the market.
Gold coin dealers usually appraise the value of a coin by looking at the historical significance, quality, and physical condition. Rarity is also a major factor they consider. Usually, the older the coin, the higher it will be priced. Apart from the gold coins, dealers equally keep their eyes on precious metals such as bracelets, necklace, rings, and earrings. Jus like coins, these items undergo similar appraisal and need to be in good condition.
If there are no gold coin dealers in your area, you can search them over the internet.
If you have been in the gold trading business for long, you will understand that it is simpler to trade online than selling them in a pawnshop or in your local jewelry store. There is more competition online among these dealers unlike in the conventional stores where there is a fixed price for each item. Online dealers will give you the best price but jewel hops will offer the lowest price range in the market. But if you are looking for quick cash, then conventional jewelry shops or pawnshops will come in handy. However, if your aim is to do gold coin business and gain enough returns , you may want to consider online dealers.
Transactions over the internet are easier and much faster. The introduction of faster ways of shipping things throughout the world has even made it easier to buy from another region. If what you are looking for is not in your region, you can easily go over the internet and search for them. When you find what you need, shipping will not be a problem.
Gold is expected to go up. This post from kitco.com explains why is now about to go up and make people a lot of money.
But with this swiftness comes the risk of dealing with strangers. You have to be very careful when dealing with gold coin buyers and sellers to avoid being ripped off. Conduct your search properly and make sure you sell or buy from established dealers with high reputation.
Are you seeking to become a top analyst for a Wall Street firm? The job of a Wall Street analyst is a lucrative one. This explains why thousands of applicants apply for entry-level and internship positions at leading investment banks such as Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, and Goldman. You will need proper education, good diligence, and hard work to succeed as an investment analyst in one of these firms.
Investment analysts provide comprehensive reports on the performance of a company within an industry or for a particular business sector. Their roles include spotting trends and market changes that will enable an investor correctly determine which stock to hold, sell, or buy.
The most ideal way to land this job is to enroll into a recognized university and major in finance, graduate with honors and impress the investment bank recruiters looking for young talents that will fill up the investment analysis position. Below are some strategies that will help you attain your career goal as a Wall Street investment analyst.
Start Early
If you are still a student, you can start planning your career part by taking advantage of internship programs in the summer. This will help you connect with people in the industry before you are fully ready.
The youngest broker in Canadian history was David Skarica who got licensed at 18. You can read what Dave has to say about the stock market at addictedtoprofits.net.
Specialize in a particular field
Investment analysis covers several fields such as auto manufacturing, telecommunication, or oil. Try to specialize on a particular field and gain experience. If you are an expert in a particular field, your credential will be regarded more than other general purpose analysts.
Education is the key
Education is the most basic qualification you will need for such a career. A good finance degree in one of the top universities is the right way to go. Enrolling in a top MBA program will also increase your chance of landing a job as a Wall Street analyst.
Network your way to success
If you graduated from a school not among the top 25 schools, your road to becoming a Wall Street analyst will be a bumpy one. But you can still achieve your aim only when you are ready to network and be really proactive.
Find ways to connect to Wall Street. Look at your alumni and find out those from your school who are already working there. Ask them if they could help push your resume. Connect with other people and ask people you know if they have a connection. At least, even if they don't work there, they might know one or two people who can help.
Compound Interest – How to Compound Your Way To Wealth
There is one thing that is common among most wealthy people, and that is the power of compounding. Several self made millionaires made their money through the compound appreciation of whatever they were earning. This is also the main reason for the enormous wealth of credit card companies, insurance companies, and major banks. Anyone who utilizes this model has a great chance of achieving prosperity in future.
Any serious minded wealth builder should always recognize the importance of compound interest in the actualization of his/her goal. Although the value of the compound interest may seem negligible at the beginning, you may be amazed at the accumulated value over a long period of time. There will always be short term gratification like cars and luxuries that may distract you from focusing on your compounding goal. However, past evidence has shown that it compounding worthwhile venture if you stick to it. The delight of being financially free will always outweigh the temporary pleasures gained from buying luxuries. When you persist and finally create your wealth, you will be able to acquire all those luxuries whenever you want.
Below are some of the ways you can make compounding work for you
* The number one enemy of compound interest is procrastination. Don't wait for too long before you begin your investment. No matter the level of income you receive, start investing immediately.
* The result of compounded amount is more visible over a
long period. Do not chase high returns by taking higher risks with your money.
* Establish a reasonable budget that can enable you save a certain amount of your monthly income ( at least 10%) for investment. This will help you stick to your investment plan for a long time.
* Try to pay down your home mortgage as early as possible. Go for a mortgage that has no prepayment penalties. In most long term mortgage plans, more than half of the payments are interest. Try to settle your mortgage loans on time so that you won't have to throw money away in form of interest on mortgage loan.
* Do away with credit cards and other debts with high interest. These will suppress the compounding effort you are making
* Finally, do not wait until your children have come of age before thinking about investing for them. Start when they are born and in few years you will be having more than enough to take care of their educational needs.

Lousy race, fun weekend.
We (Gail, Mike and I) took off in my little car at 4 pm from Portland and to our amazement didn't hit any traffic, making it out of city in about 20 min as opposed to an hour what we predicted by experience. The drive was with patches of heavy rain and times for beautiful rainbows, and with lots and lots of fun talks and laughter. You put the 3 of us together - and it's a dangerous combination. Of course, we got lost at the Seattle exits (note to self - don't let Gail do mapping and Mike do reading), but found a funny bone to it. As we drove to Big Steve's place, it was pouring hard - but the house and a host were so warm, it didn't matter.
It smelled good, so good, my stomach was churning...Steve cooked fresh home-made pasta and sauce! Beer cracked open, plates full, we chow'd and talked, and talked, and laughed, and even argued, and talked again about just anything, from politics, to history, religion, philosophers, ultrarunning, mountains, families, gossiping and well, what goes on trail, stays on trail...wait, we weren't on trail yet! but I won't tell you anyway what else was there:) The sleep came at midnight.
Morning was gloomy as it can only be, with sheets of rain coming down. We had our yummy latte's and took on a 1.5hr drive to Bellingham. Of course, yet again, we took an exit we shouldn't have and while the route was scenic, it was long, and we (I) were getting paniky we'd be late for the start. But we made it.
Just as Hagg lake 50k is an OR reunion after a winter hibernation, Chuckanut 50k is a WA reunion, and lately the only time a year I get to see my WA friends. I won't even bother listing them all, though I thought I would, because I am afraid I'll miss somebody. Love ya, guys! The air was buzzing.
I'll be short about the run itself, as there is nothing really interesting-dramatic-inspiring happened there. We took off, and as promised, I had no watch. I know this course as a back of my hand, having run it 3 years before, and eating on time, as well as estimating the time of next aid station, was never a problem. The first 6 flat miles were ugly and huffing/puffing as usual, with jacket removal at mile 2 and trying to not talk too much as I really can't do it while running flats. The rain miraculously stopped as soon as we went on a path, and never came back but a couple of sprinkles. I settled in and tried not to complain (Meghan's challenge) about this interurban stretch. Out of first AS we went on a single track up and up, I was keeping it right where I was, within the same group of people, and picking up conversations. Before second AS the ever famous Glenn T was taking his awesome shots (this and next running photos are courtesy of Glenn, check out the link for the full collection) . I wasn't struggling at all and finally fell in a groove. We checked out (Darin was there to crew for his wife Trisha on her first ultra, and he was everywhere else, and it was fun!) and took onto a some 3+M dirt road climb. I opened up and closed on a few people. This is where I ususally begin to feel the day. And it was good. At the top John Pearch, the RD for all Capitol Peak races and another awesome individual and friend, was manning the AS and filled the bottles, asking if I am up for a sweep in April. I sure am.
I love the Ridge trail the most. I was skipping and tripping and smiling on those traitorous rocks and roots, and even though I bonked for about an hour (from mid-point of it into the next rolling mushy jeep section), it didn't bother me much. My i-Pod died in the middle of the Ridge too (as in "died, broke down", not lost charge, and so I am out of music for now?). We got off, and the "mushy" section was muddy, but better than last year. Funny posts from RD Krissy were stuck in, and most were covered in mud to the point I couldn't read them. I worked out the kinks of the bonk, passed a few more guys, ran alone for quite a while, and eventually came to Little Chinscraper climb - another fav of mine in this race. Sharp hill made me smile as I overtook another 4 guys, and of course, as I knew he would be, there was Glenn!
John Pearch at the top again (how did he get there?) - I hurry him up, I am feeling wonderful, and take on the steep downhill like crazy. Wheeee! I work it and hope the clock at the last AS is not set up - yet it was, and was starring right in my face as I turned a corner, and there was no way, as long as my eyes are open, not to see the time...and it was 5:22 with 6.5M to go. The fastest I ever did the last section was 54 min, in 2005, and usually it's a touch over an hour. That was "my day is over" feeling that flooded. I wasn't even coming in my last year's time, and I thought there is no way I can be any slower than I was. My split at Old Pueblo 50M for this mile was faster! I lost it and slowly walked out. It is amazing how much mind plays of a role in these things - just as 2 weeks ago I "believed" I can break 11 hrs, and pushed hard, here I completely gave up and walked for 3 miles, allowing the pain of tight hamstrings come in, the bad thoughts, the "I am giving up 50 k's" and "I suck", it didn't matter how much over 6 hrs I'd finish, as long as it was over 6 hrs. Not that I had a perfect goal for this run, and it was a training week, and by schedule of coach Lisa I was only supposed to work on uphill and downhill (what I did) - I was still disappointed big time, I just didn't expect it to be so bad, and it hit me hard with a slap on a face. I walked until Gail passed me at 3M to go and offered to run in. I refused, but as I watched her pulling away, I started shuffling, and managed to continue this jog to the end, making it in 6:35, 3 min behind her solid great even-paced run.
And I smiled. Because in the end, I participate for this - for the heart smiles. And I felt it. And I loved it. No, I didn't love myself, or my run, or my state of mind, or my state of fitness, but I loved the fact that I still loved it - does it make sense? We changed, we ate, I asked Peggy (Ma - Krissy's Ma) to adopt me (she is awesome!!!), we chatted with all who was still around, we saw more finishers (way to go Laura H> and happy birthday! Trisha finished her first 50k, yay!), Gail got massage, Mike posed for newspapers (OK, just kidding, but he did finish in 5:10), Ronda had a great run, again, check out results, because I'll forget somebody. We had to go.
We had to go because we planned to stop at Pacific Rim 24hr run down south on the way home and visit with more friends. Of course, we got lost once again on the way out, it seems to be our staple of traveling together. The spirits were good, and Gail and Mike tried hard to entertain me while I drove (it was in their best interest as I was falling asleep). Eventually we made it to Longview and saw our crazy buddies, circling around 1M loop gazillion of times.
Everybody did great, and if you follow their blogs - you read it, and I apologize I don't have time to link them all. Congrats to Michelle and Jenny on first 50M, to Steve S. on 105M (wow!), and Lisa, sweetie, I love you very much, I am so glad I stopped by and chatted!
I ran slow 8M on Sunday with lots of walking breaks and had fun with Stephen at the movies and library. My quads are talking, what is weird, they were quiet after OP50, and I think it's a proove I did work the hills (both up and down). I am a bit gloomy (just like the weather here is) due to my time (or, rather, the unproportional feeling of how well I thought I was doing vs how poorely I did do), but I'll get over it. I won't need pity, but will listen for wisdom on the reasoning of my run. I know about "no taper, two very hard leg weight training, OP50 2 weeks before, speed and hill workouts" and so on. But I didn't feel on the run the way my time shows I did - that's the question. I consumed 2 gels per "stretch" (12 total), 3 bottles of NUUN and 2 bottles of carbo-pro drink. I loved my ripped-off shoes that I dumped at the finish (they waitied for this chance to serve one last time) for their awesome stability on slippery rocks and roots, and I loved my Drymax socks for the feel of dry feet I had throughout despite knowing for show I got water and mud inside (not only due to the trail condition, but also due to those huge holes in my shoes). Highly recommend. I had no aches/pains (until the last section), no stomach problem, nu bladder problem, a usual bonk that lasted no longer than always, no falls, no ankles turned, nothing.
The week coming to be busy...what else is new?

Okay...you crack me up! I thought I had high expectations for myself but you definately out do me. :)ReplyDelete
Here's my analysis for what's it's worth.
1.You stayed up late...midnight!!
2.You JUST ran a great 50M race two weeks earlier...annnnnnddd didn't you run long last weekend?
The fact that you showed up, smiled and did a tough 50K is something to be very proud of. I am still using OC100K as an excuse. :)
I have been there too and I know how it feels. Those "bad thoughts" can be powerful enough to suck all you blood in no time and leave you powerless and sorry-about-yourself with still a lot of mileage to go. Wining this little war inside of my head feels at times more challenging than the physical aspect of the races. Music helps sometimes: I have a couple of emergency playlists on my iPod just like Melvin Udall did in "As Good as It Gets" movie :)))ReplyDelete
Oh Olga, I wish you wouldn't beat yourself up so! If I recall from your last blog entry, you did a lot of training last week between running, lifting, and other cross training. I don't recall much about a taper.ReplyDelete
Sorry if it didn't go the way you wanted to! The scenery looks beautiful from the photos, and it looks like you had a lot of fun with friends!
Recover happy,
It sounds like we bonked at the same place. I think it's just too much fun running that ridge trail and we paid for it by running out of gas. I even tried to hold back. Maybe next I can hold back a little more.ReplyDelete
Ronda noted the "up till midnight" aspect, and I would add that beer drinking the night before a race is, for me at least, a guaranteed impediment. I have learned this through trial and error. :-)ReplyDelete
Well done sista' in suffering. I think that you mastered the ability to HTFU. :-)ReplyDelete
good report olga. sounds like you had fun.ReplyDelete
Good race or bad, if you can't have fun or be happy about how you're spending your time, it's not worth it. Glad you had a fun-filled weekend. Sorry to miss you.ReplyDelete
P.S. Did you try re-setting your iPod?ReplyDelete
yaaa sounds like ur body got tired ...u have had a busy past three weeks!!! and compound that with up late ect...ReplyDelete
Recovery Well & see ya soon! I will plan a 30 min run on Sunday and a HUGE breakfast afterwards :-)
With that lovely smile you have in all those photos I find it hard yo believe you didn't have a fantastic race!ReplyDelete
Ah well, at least you had a great time - that's better than a great race, isn't it?
You continue to be an inspiration to me. Good race or not. I love your positive attitude and that you are always honest. You are a great runner and I look forward to seeing you out on the trails. Have a great week!ReplyDelete
I was so happy to get one of your famous hugs at the end!! And thanks for the B'day wishes! I had heard from Alison how that last six miles could be really deceiving, and she was proven right many times over, according to others' blogs (and mine). Some days (weeks) are winners, others suck. The point is you remembered how much you're loved and all the good times before, after, and yes, even durig the race. Okay - I'll shut up now! Good recovery!ReplyDelete
Wait, you ran a 50M two weeks before? I wouldn't forget about that! Hey, my hat's off to ya, I think you did great all things considered.ReplyDelete
I have nothing to add, but I certainly can understand the beating yourself up part. I imagine that all the Washingtonians were glad to see you and you brightened their day. It's good to have fun and enjoy the trails even when our performance is sub-par.ReplyDelete
i have nothing new to add, other than i understandReplyDelete
It was really cool to get a chance to talk to you, then to pass you, then to be passed by you and play leapfrog down the ridge;).
Here's my report:
Rest up and see you at Miwok, I'll be the guy going backwards up the hill!
Olga, it was great to see you at the Pac Rim run - glad you stopped by!ReplyDelete
When you start finishing races without smiling that's when I'll get worried about you. And not until.ReplyDelete
- wasatchspeedgoat18/3/08 11:52
Killer race report! we will be chatting next week!ReplyDelete
It was GREAT to see you sweet Olga! Thank you so much for stopping by and making a few loops with me. You are a dear! See you soon.ReplyDelete
a training run is a training run..how can you suck in a training run:)ReplyDelete
still have a big smile at the end!
What great photos! I'm sorry the run was less than expected, but I'm with Rhonda - OP50 two weeks ago and no taper is a hard act to follow. This is one of those "deposit" runs - you just put it in the bank for future withdrawl. You just got stronger because of it!ReplyDelete
Your smiles in the pictures show you are doing something you love. Thanks for the big hug. Just seeing you for a few seconds was a wonderful mental boost.ReplyDelete
Oh Olga, I know about beating up oneself after a race that didn't go as planned. But you'll look back at this one and see it was an accomplishment in endurance ... look at everything you did in the weeks before! Plus it'll just make you fitter for the races to come.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous19/3/08 11:47
You described what I would term a "character building" run. We all have them. Some (like me!) have them more often than others. You finished the distance and it counts for miles and training and besides it sounds like you had a chance to catch up with lots of friends! Don't be so hard on yourself! You had a 50K training run on what sounds like a beautiful course with fully staffed aid stations and lots of friends to visit with afterwards. Smile. It could be worse! I love our sport!ReplyDelete
What fun!ReplyDelete
I love those action shots! I think the first one is the best ultra-race photo there is. It belongs on the cover of Ultra-runner magazine.
Like Sarah said, don't give up on your iPod. My went totally dead. I almost threw it away. Then found out how to reset it.
Reset iPod
Or just Google "reset ipod" and you'll get tons of links. IPods freeze so regularly that there's even a website just for that: www.reset-ipod.com
Cool pics of you running! Don't sweat your time. You rock. Period!ReplyDelete
Add me to the list of Washingtonians who were very glad to see your ever-smiling face. I did see you...when you were walking back to your car afterwards, we rolled down the window and yelled a "Whooooo...Olga!!!" :)ReplyDelete
I am impressed by your time and the fact that you say you walked 3 miles at the end...so you must have been really working the downhills and uphills. If you felt like you did well, then I don't think you can say you ran poorly. Don't let the clock dictate your happiness ... hey, like I need to preach that to you, me, or anyone out there!!
Don'tcha just love Peggy - she's always been such a good runner-mom.
Can you teach me how to balance my life between running and family? You still did all that on Sunday - wow! I sure hope your new home is already a mess - otherwise you are setting standards too high for the rest of us to reach :)
Great post Olga! It's been a while since I've been out and commenting. That baby of mine takes up a lot of time :) It's so true how mental this all is. Thanks for that reminder, I will use it at the McNaughton 100 in a few weeks.ReplyDelete
That's right, WA has Glen T, he always has great photos. John Pearch comes down just to fill our bottles at Quad, that kind of dedication to the community is heart warming. Sorry to hear about the iPod, I still think Apple needs to create a sport version line of their stuff; waterproof and trailproof. Anyway I think I get what your saying. Cursing for the personal performance but thankful for the privilege of participating in the sport, crappy races and all. Happy to know that you understand it at that level, a bigger, wider perspective and that your heart is still in the sport.ReplyDelete
I don't know what I can say that hasn't already been said. Way to hang in there and get the finish in. Stop being so hard on yourself. Your best race is going to come when you least expect it. Great races are gifts if you have one in a season we should be fortunate. To have two is luck. Sometimes I feel as humans we become so consumed with winning and losing that we forget what its all about. Just relax and enjoy the ride sister. It'll come.ReplyDelete
I am glad that you find joy in the races, even when the result is not what you want. More and more I am convinced that the joy is what we will look back on and remember, not the times or the distances (well, maybe a little bit, but the smiles stay in our hearts.)ReplyDelete
Olga, go easy on yourself. Time is irrelevant in these runs (I ra tionalize....my lifetime best 50 mile time is WAY better than anything I can do in a 50 km these days, and I'm getting used to it). Also, everyone has good days and not-so-good days). It was good seeing your where I was out on the backstretch by Lost Lake, and I'm glad you enjoyed the goofy signs...I'll come up with some new ones for next year!).ReplyDelete

She was born July 7, 1932 in Colton to Charles Harold and Etta Elizabeth Elmer Finch. Married Blake Clifford Lee June 25, 1955 in Colton.
Cora's greatest love was caring for her family and taking her grandchildren to all their activities. She loved working in her garden and crocheting doilies for everyone until her arthritis wouldn't allow it anymore.
Survived by husband, Blake C. Lee; one daughter and two sons, Peggy (Brad) Jarvis, Scott (Neesha) Lee, all of Price; Larry (Julie) Lee, Ogden; sister, Charlotte (Mickey) Stubbings, Helper; brother, Dennis (Gloria) Finch, Colton; 10 loving grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews and a community of friends.

PRICE- Velma (McKee) Anderson, 93, passed away on March 3, 2006 at her home in Carbonville. She was born Oct. 24, 1912 in Huntington, the daughter of James and Eliza (Sherman) McKee. She married Neldon Fredrick Anderson on Jan. 3, 1929 in Price, which was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple.
Velma was an industrious woman with an entrepreneurial spirit. During the building of the bridge in Huntington, she ran a boarding house for the road maintenance crews. She ran several businesses, which included a service station and the "El Camino" tavern and diner. At one time she even raised mink. She had a passion for gardening and raised enough vegetables and fruit from the orchard to feed her children and all of the neighbors. She was fond of reading health literature, and was a wonderful poetess. Most of all she loved her family.
Velma is survived by her children, Jerry (Jewel) Anderson of Arkansas, Ramona Zmerzlikar of Helper, Hal (Velora) Anderson of Price, Marlene (Richard) Peterson of New Mexico, and Sandra (Bill) Nichols of Carbonville; 22 grandchildren, 70 great- grandchildren, and 32 great-great-grandchildren; and a sister Hazel McMullin of Cleveland. Preceded in death by her husband Neldon; a son, Harry Anderson; two grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; parents; and three sisters and four brothers.
Services will be held Wed., March 8 at 11 a.m. in the Carbonville LDS chapel. Friends are invited to call Tuesday evening at the Fausett Mortuary in Price from 7-8 p.m., and an hour prior to services at the chapel. Interment in the Castle Dale City Cemetery.
George Floyd Baker, 59, passed away March 1, 2006 at the Castle Country Care center in Price. He was born June 27, 1946 in Richfield, the son of Floyd and Bess (Nielsen) Baker. He married Judi Smith on Sept. 28, 1965 in Price. A miner by trade, George was an active member of local UMWA #1776. He served as the local union president for many years, where he loved helping coal mine employees. After receiving a medical retirement in 2002, he became active in Chick's pool league, where he enjoyed the fellowship of his team and league mates. George was active in the Sub-for-Santa program, where he participated through Chick's bar for six years. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed fishing, hiking, hunting, and arrowhead appreciation. He loved pool, Emery football, basketball and baseball. He also enjoyed pest control at the Larsen farm. But most of all, he loved his family and the time spent with his grandchildren, as well as the family parties. He was a member of the LDS church.
George is survived by his wife, Judi of Orangeville; children, Ryan (Layna) Baker and Tiffani Baker, both of Orangeville, Matthew Baker of Salt Lake City, and Kelly (Tatum) of Hurricane; and his grandchildren, Coleton and Sarah of Orangeville. Also survived by his mother, Bess; brothers, Paul (Margaret) Baker of Salt Lake City, Jim (Michele) Baker of Price, Don Baker of Price, and Robert Baker of Las Vegas; and a sister, Janene Openshaw of Farmington. Preceded in death by his father, Floyd; grandparents, George and Pearl Nielsen and Lester and Maggie Baker; and a nephew, David Baker.
Services were held Mon., March 6, at 1 p.m. in the Orangeville Third Ward Chapel in Castle Dale. Interment in the Orangeville City Cemetery.
The family would like to extend special thanks to the Castle Country Care Center for the patience and tender care which they gave to George, and to all of the family and friends who extended their love and support in their love and support in his hour of need.
Our gentle and gracious father has escaped this world's hardships, leaving us heartbroken but remembering the earth as he saw it, with endless desert paths to climb, rocks to turn over, tomato seedlings to mother and trout to hook.
Marshall Lloyd Biddinger, age 82, died March 1, 2006 in Price. He was born April 6, 1923, in the small Mormon settlement of Manassa Colo., the eldest son of Marshall and Lydia Mae Lloyd Biddinger.
But how does one condense a full life that stretched through a world war, six children and church and community good works--all fueled by a remarkable curiosity? We will remember dad cheering at our baseball games, making egg nog breakfasts, standing hip-deep in fishing streams. We'll remember his piles of interesting rocks, his excursions to the dump, his Zane Gray novels and his scroll-saw masterpieces.
And we remember him at each important event in our lives, proud and wise, reminding us of our foundations.
Lloyd is survived by his wife Jeane of Price. He met her in the rush and sweep of World War II when both were students at Brigham Young University, and married her June 17, 1945 in Denver, Colo. The marriage was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple, where they returned later as temple workers.
His children all remain in Utah; Richard and Nancy Biddinger of Highland; Sue Lancaster of Cleveland; Jerri and Miles Brown of Brigham City; David and Debbie Biddinger of West Valley City; Janelle and Rod Hyatt, and Bonnie and Louie Frucci, all of Eden. He leaves numerous grandchildren and great- grandchildren, and we know he has been welcomed home by his parents , brother Russell, sister Mary Ann and son-in-law Sid Lancaster.
Lloyd served in the Army Air Corps in WWII, training as a pilot. He moved to Price at war's end, where he worked as an auto parts manager and volunteered as a firefighter. His heart belonged, however, at the family cabin near Ferron Reservoir, where the countless hours he spent were likely among his most gratifying. That is, except for those exploring the deserts of the San Rafael.
Funeral services were held Mon., March 6 at 12 noon in the Price fifth ward chapel, 545 East 400 North. Friends called Sunday evening from 6-8 p.m. at Fausett Mortuary, 680 East 100 South, in Price, and one hour prior to services at the church.
Dad, we are proud to be your children, and we will miss your mild and tender spirit.

DARLINGTON, S.C. -- As the text messages about a NASCAR appeals panel decision got longer, Matt Kenseth got happier.
"I'm like, 'Wait a minute. They did what?' " Kenseth said Friday. "They gave us that back?"
Kenseth, speaking to reporters for the first time since Joe Gibbs Racing's No. 20 team penalties were largely overturned Wednesday, said he was "pleasantly surprised" at the decision but also had expected somewhat of a reduction.
COLUMN: NASCAR may have to reconsider how to penalize
Previously, Kenseth said NASCAR's penalties were "grossly unfair" and "borderline shameful."
"Obviously, I'm happy they got reduced," he said at Darlington Raceway. "The penalties were pretty crushing before they got reduced, so I really applaud NASCAR for having the appeals process and putting that in place to have some people look at it after the dust settles a little bit and be objective and look at all the facts and make a decision."
The three-member appeals panel lessened or rescinded many of the most severe elements of the penalty. Kenseth's points penalty was reduced from 50 to 12, crew chief Jason Ratcliff's suspension was reduced from six weeks to one (which he'll serve this weekend), Kenseth's Kansas win will count toward the Chase again and Gibbs' ability to collect owner points was restored.
Kenseth praised the appeals panel for looking at all the facts and said they "got it pretty right."
"You know, for some reason, I had a pretty good feeling about Wednesday," Kenseth said. "I didn't know if we would have gotten a reduction that much, but I felt more confident than any other appeal I've ever heard about.
"I think everybody was shocked when the penalties got handed out to start with, so I felt pretty good it was going to get reduced."
Ratcliff won't be at the track Friday (practice, qualifying) and Saturday (Bojangles' Southern 500), but Kenseth said he'll be monitoring the team's information and changes from the shop in North Carolina.
Wally Brown is filling in for Ratcliff this weekend.
"I know they've worked really hard this week to make sure they had a plan in place," Kenseth said. "Obviously, Wally knows what he's doing. I think it'll be OK."

Prescribed Burn near Dove Creek, CO Will Reduce Hazardous Fuels and Improve Habitat (09-06-13)
DOLORES, Colo. – The Bureau of Land Management's Tres Rios Field Office is planning to initiate a prescribed burn in the West Rim Pines fuels treatment project area as early as next week. Expected weather and fuel conditions should allow fire managers to complete 284 acres of prescribed fire treatment in the project area, which is located six miles northeast of Dove Creek, Colo.
The objectives of this prescribed burn are to reduce hazardous fuels, improve wildlife habitat, and improve range conditions. The West Rim Pines prescribed burn will also reintroduce fire to a fire adapted ecosystem and help restore healthy forests and species diversity.
An environmental analysis and detailed burn plan outline the parameters for the prescribed burn. The burn plan contains specific criteria regarding weather conditions and air quality that must be met to help ensure control of the burn as well as to minimize the potential smoke impacts to local communities. The BLM obtained a Smoke Permit which identifies conditions for implementing the prescribed burn by the Colorado State Air Pollution Control Division.
The prescribed burn is anticipated to last two days. While smoke may be visible in the area at times during the burn, most of the smoke will lift and dissipate during the warmest part of the day. Smoke may be visible in the area for several days after the burn is completed as vegetation in the interior of the burn continues to smolder. Fire crews will continue to monitor the burn area following completion of the burn to ensure public safety.
For information on wildfires and restrictions in the area, call the Southwest District Fire Management Information line (970.240.1070), visit the MIFMU website (http://gacc.nifc.gov/rmcc/
The Southwest District Fire Management program covers the BLM Colorado's Southwest District and the Gunnison Field Office (BLM), the Uncompahgre Field Office (BLM), and Tres Rios Field Office (BLM) in the Colorado counties of Archuleta, Conejos, Delta, Dolores, Gunnison, Hinsdale, La Plata, Mesa, Mineral, Montezuma, Montrose, Ouray, Rio Grande, Saguache, San Juan and San Miguel.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Spoiler!asldfkjasl;dfkjasl;dk FUCKING KUBO YOU TROLL!!!! Excellent chapter though.
Aww, and I thought I'm gonna hate fake Zangetsu now. Nice job Kubo for keeping fake zangetsu on the good side till the end and made his coolness intact.
sig made by me
So anyway incoming plotkai to raise Ichigo's power level up over nine-thousand. Time to meet the real zangetsu(prolly Hichigo, though I hope he is looks badasser in some way). And I hope that at least this plotkai comes with some new techniques. I really want to see something other than more getsuga spamming outta this...
*edit* On subsequent readthroughs I noticed the blade(zangetsu) that notZangetsu is holding is apparently on fire... Will Ichigo's (real)zanpakuto behave more like his father's now? Will it perhaps shoot hollow-black flaming getsugas now? hmm... not really feeling that tbh.
Last edited by SquadZero; 06-12-2013 at 10:36 AM.
So as it turns out this younger Juha Bach has his own will, and he chose to help Ichigo but I'm confused, did he disappear for good or did he just step back because he did seem to reappear again?
But whats mind boggling is that all this time Ichigo has only been using a part of his power, just how powerful is that bastard going to be now and the real Zangetsu looks like a combination between that Quincy sword and a Zanpakutou.
Can't wait for next week.
Men ichigo and kenpachi is always paralleled by kubo....... kenpachi was always suppressed before and was originally strong... and now we know ichigo is also suppressed by his quincy powers and isn't at his full power....its like kubo is prepping for a super zaraki vs super ichigo fight V2... though this time they'll jump from planet to planet after destroying one in battle lols
Kenpachi terrible at controlling reiatsu = ichigo is also terrible at it
Kenpachi can't properly sense reiatsu = ichigo is somewhat better but still off at doing so except and his dangai FGT form
Kenapchi full release shikai zan = ichigo full release shikai zan
Kenpachi was always held back from his true power = and now ichigo was always held back by his quincy side and both of them currently would have access to their true power
It was a sad chapter seeing Bachgetsu "fade away"..... though make no mistake he only said stepping back for ichigo to use his full power and not totally gone.... he still is around.....maybe become part of the true zangetsu.... only the true zangetsu is the dominant.... i hope ichigo will still have access to some quincy powers.... like bluts and stuff
One question still remains, why was Zangetsu (I will keep calling him that for now) younger when Ichigo entered his inner world with his Bankai. It doesn't seem to make sense at all.
Man, is Kubo torturing his MC or what ? Each month Ichigo is drowned in a new sorrow :p.
So QP(Quincy Power) was not only in hold of his Zan but also that he was inhibiting him and Zangetsu isn't his name.
That the Hollow was always saving and protecting Ichigo was also already known (after fusing with TZ, the Fusion Zangetsu even admits to it). It was always Whitey that was teaching Ichigo about Zangetsu, in other words, about himself.
It's possible that the (Blue) Flame that the sword is encompassed is a Sheath made from Quincy's Blue Flame (that burns even spirit particles) that was suppressing his Zanpakutou. Yep, all this time Ichigo was fighting with his sword sheathed and is about to pull it out and showcase his true blade (it somewhat explains why his swords seemed blunt when Ichigo used it, but sharp when it was used by Hichigo).
Tensa Zangetsu is part of Ichigo's Original Shinigami Power (before they were fused with Hollows), while Whitey is part of Ichigo's Hollow Power (before fusing) and Fusion Zangetsu is the True Fusion, his True Zanpakutou that is made of fused powers of Hollow and Shinigami (as mentioned by Oetsu).
The missing parts of FGT Form, might have been the inhibited parts of his Zanpakutou.
Now that OM (Old Man) doesn't need to suppress Ichigo's Zanpakutou, he might finally reveal what Quincy Powers Ichigo truly posses.
this chapter was in a way a confirmation of things zero highlighted last week

Damn, OMZ redeemed himself. Also, if Ichigo was being supressed all this time, didn't that make him get beat up and put in more danger? If he was 100% wouldn't his bout with Grimmjow and Ulquiorra be alot easier on him and he would've been less close to death, especially the Ulquiorra match.
So the question still remains, how strong is Ichigo?
I think this was a nice send off to the person we thought was Zangestu.
Ichigo's new zan looks like it will have a flame attribute like Isshins zan. Hoping for some new techniques too.
Waiting on MS translations though.

The Royals are like a 17 year old golfer
I didn't watch much of the game last night. I briefly turned it on and saw a ball go past Billy Butler and the man on first score while Butler stopped and had some popcorn with fans and watched. My wife asked me if I'd prefer to watch a movie. It was then I realized that I hate National League ball, I hate Jonathan Sanchez and there was a 100% chance Ned Yost was going to make an asinine decision which would infuriate me. I saved my anger and watched a pretty good movie. Nick 1 – Royals 0.
What I missed seemed to be a mildly boring game until a 10 run outburst in the last two half-innings. What is most amazing about this team is how coordinated the pitchers and hitters seem to be. I'm not sure who exactly to give the credit to. Does Seitzer tell the batters to try and hit weak grounders just until the pitchers begin to collapse? And just at the moment where the pitchers have given up enough runs to lose the game, then storm back and score just enough to come up short. At least that's the way it all plays out in my head.
The real reason I decided that watching this game wasn't on my priority list was that Jonathan Sanchez was pitching. He just flat refuses to throw strikes. Walk after walk and hit after hit. A Royals game featuring Jonathan Sanchez seems to have them on defense 90% of the time and batting 10%. Now some of that credit goes to the amazing impatience of the Royals batters, but still. It's an unbearable game.
Beyond Sanchez, there was another reason I didn't feel last night's game was a must-watch. I still don't know what this team is. They've been muddling through for a couple months now and aren't exactly in it and aren't exactly out of it. It seems like one step forward and two steps back. Just when they are a nice little run away from getting involved, they lose in spectacular fashion.
In fact they remind me of Beau Hossler who just played a heck of a weekend at the U.S. Open. They're young, awkward and nobody believes they have a shot. We're all just waiting for the inevitable win so we can pat them on the back and get on with our lives. Last night's game was a boring par 4 where you three put for bogey and everyone watches saying "I figured that would happen".
– Nick Scott

Skip to comments.Obama on Immigration Reform (Live Thread)
Posted on 01/29/2013 12:03:59 PM PST by Lucky9teen
Didn't see this posted....but was wondering if anyone is watching/listening?
I was listening to Rush, but he was cut off for this pandering...ugh
(Excerpt) Read more at video.foxnews.com ...
That says it all! "F" Obama!
I changed the channel as soon as I heard some idiot drone yell out "I love you" and Obama yelled "I love you back" Hitler enjoyed this kind of admiration from his drones
Why the hell is this this ''thing'' in Vegas? OH...the golf courses, stupid me to think he'd stay at the White House.
He's saying it's important for us to remember our history....
Ugh...they faced racism...they faced ridicule....but they are who helped build this country....what makes somebody of America, is not just blood or birth, but allegiance to our founding principles...
Oh barf
Rubio, McCain, Hannity, Fox News, AmnestyLiberals posting here on FR....are in agreement w Obama. Remember this
Like Rush said earlier...if Democrats thought the majority of immigrants (illegal or otherwise) were voting for Republicans, they'd have built that wall and put a stop to the illegal immigration, a LONG time ago.
And that is why by the time 2016 comes around we won't have a country left..it started in 2008, the progressive agenda will be complete by 2016
"Why the hell is this this thing in Vegas?"
1. He needed a break from the Mooch
2. He knew in Vagas he would have an adoring cheering crowd. He needs those types of crowds to feed his EGO!
3. He enjoys riding on AF-One.
Vegas has many Illegal Aliens working the casinos and hotels....and it's a big SEIU area....the SEIU agrees w Obama, Rubio, McCain, Fox News, on Illegal Alien Amnesty
You got farther than I did, I cannot stand to even hear his voice, I loathe this creature. The only good news is every time he goes west on one his his jounts, I always feel there is a chance he gets on Mt Rushmore, at 650MPH.
Shazaaaam! A 10-15 min. speech that just cost us 1.8 to 2 millon $
Oh I left the room..I'd rather get a colonoscopy than watch that prick speak. I followed what the schmuck said on twitter..people found it very telling when Obama said that "Allan" guy was born in Mexico, everyone cheered..when he said that he pledges allegiance to the flag..no cheers..so I tweeted back "Really, is anyone surprised"
Jumped up to change the station the moment I heard that screeching and the 'adoring' crowd - wth, is he a rock star or the flipping potus?
What a joke these people are -
Thanks for the info. I knew these brainless obamatard lackeys wouldn't be able to wipe the drool off their faces..
Yep. I hope people are paying attention.
What he didn't say is that they came here LEGALLY....
Hitler got the same kind of love and admiration..if Obama told those fools to drink the anti freeze tainted kool Aid they would drink it up faster than you can say "bottoms up"
Papa Noel..aka Baracka Claus
It started with the 1965 Immigration Act.
He's a transparently lying, empty suit that yearns for greatness & a legacy that he will be adored forever.
Half of America might fall for his BS - but sane people are still trying to figure out how to keep him from blowing money that we don't have & campaigning since he ran for the senate. He just can't stop!! He's an empty suit that has no real vision or original ideas - except ones that are destructive & destroying our country.
People pray for a miracle way to escape the rule of this tyrant. Maybe if enough of them form a prayer group, God will answer the prayers.
Obama cadenas are just like "Las Cadenas De Chavez" where all stations must broadcast all Chavez's speeches. Time for extended pot ringing across the country!

Since 2009, the number of Hoosier students taking Advanced Placement courses has gone up by nearly 50 percent, and the number of students passing Advanced Placement exams is up by 48 percent.
"More students are taking and passing those challenging Advanced Placement courses and exams" he says.
