Fernandez finalist for NL Cy Young, Rookie of Year
MIAMI -- Three times in franchise history, the Marlins have boasted the National League Rookie of the Year. Could Jose Fernandez become the fourth?
The chances are pretty good because Fernandez on Tuesday night was named as a finalist for the top rookie honor presented by the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA).
MIAMI -- Three times in franchise history, the Marlins have boasted the National League Rookie of the Year. Could Jose Fernandez become the fourth?
The chances are pretty good because Fernandez on Tuesday night was named as a finalist for the top rookie honor presented by the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA).
But rookie recognition isn't the only big prize Fernandez is in contention. The 21-year-old right-hander also is a finalist for the NL Cy Young Award, a more uphill climb.
If Fernandez could pull off the upset, he would be the franchise's first Cy Young Award winner.
Twice, the Marlins have had a Cy Young runner-up -- Dontrelle Willis in 2005 and Kevin Brown in 1996.
While Willis went 22-10 with a 2.63 ERA in '05, St. Louis' Chris Carpenter took first place. Brown set the Marlins' ERA record of 1.89 in '96, but he ended up second behind Atlanta's John Smoltz.
Willis, however, is one of the Marlins' previous Rookie of the Year winners, earning the trophy in 2003. Hanley Ramirez ('06) and Chris Coghlan ('09) are the organization's other two.
In the Rookie of the Year competition, Fernandez is up against St. Louis right-hander Shelby Miller and Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig.
In the Cy Young race, Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers and St. Louis' Adam Wainwright join Fernandez.
The National League Rookie of the Year will be announced on Nov. 11 on MLB Network and the Cy Young follows on Nov. 13 on MLB Network.
If other offseason honors are any indication, Fernandez is not merely a finalist, he is the Rookie of the Year front-runner.
On Monday night in the MLBPA Players Choice Awards, the players voted Fernandez as the National League's Outstanding Rookie over Miller and Puig.
And a couple of weeks ago, Fernandez was named top NL rookie by The Sporting News.
Also on Monday, Fernandez was a finalist with Kershaw and Pittsburgh's Francisco Liriano for NL Outstanding Pitcher in the Players Choice Awards, but Kershaw won.
In a rough 2013 season for the Marlins as a team, Fernandez emerged as one of the bright young stars in the game, earning All-Star recognition.
The hard-throwing right-hander was 12-6 with a 2.19 ERA. He struck out a franchise rookie-record 187, and he posted a WHIP (walks plus hits per innings pitched) of 0.98.
Opposing batters hit a mere .182 off him.
Not only are Fernandez's numbers dominating among NL rookie pitchers, they also rank among the best in the game.
From June 1 to the end of the season, Fernandez's 1.50 ERA was the best in the NL.
Consider from that date, the Miami ace was 10-3 with 135 strikeouts in 120 1/3 innings. Kershaw was 11-6 with a 1.82 ERA with 150 strikeouts in 148 2/3 innings in that span.
Because Fernandez was on a pitch limit that was set before the season started, he was shut down after his Sept. 11 start against the Braves. The rookie capped his year with a win and his first big league home run.
Fernandez's meteoric rise made him one of the top new stories in the Majors.
His story is one of triumph and inspiration.
At age 15, he defected from Cuba, and five years later, he was in the big leagues at age 20. He turned 21 on July 31.
The 14th overall pick in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, Fernandez entered Spring Training projected to open the season at Double-A Jacksonville. But because of injuries to Henderson Alvarez and Nathan Eovaldi, the Marlins decided to give Fernandez a shot.
So Fernandez was asked to make the leap from Class A ball in 2012 to the big leagues.
He made the transition seem easy.
Because of his youth and inexperience, the Marlins set a preseason innings range of 150-170 for the right-hander, whose fastball was clocked as high as 99 mph.
It didn't take long for the rookie to establish himself as an ace. Miami, a team that finished 62-100, went 18-10 in Fernandez's 28 starts.

Seafood is a fantastic weeknight staple. Of course, it usually means a special trip to the store, but that can be done quickly enough (and doesn't it sort of feel luxurious to stop and buy yourself something special after a long day at work?). Not only is this stew healthy and a bit indulgent-feeling, it comes together in about 15 minutes. The Mediterranean flavors are beautifully reflected in merrill's Greek salad, which is pleasantly punchy with lemon, feta, and olives. A meal fit for your holiday table (Christmas Eve, anyone?), but snappy enough for a winter weeknight.
The Menu
Click through on the recipe photos or titles to see (and save and print) the full recipes, but we've also written you a handy grocery list and game plan below.
Greek Salad with Fennel by merrill
Dad's Favorite Seafood Stew by inpatskitchen
Serves 4 to 6
Greek feta
Fennel bulb
Romaine lettuce
Olives (green and kalamata, ideally)
Roasted red pepper
Canned whole plum tomatoes
Seafood stock or clam juice
1 pound saltwater fish filets (such as cod or halibut)
16 large shrimp
16 sea scallops
Fresh basil
Fresh parsley
As usual, we assume you've got a pretty stocked pantry, and thus have the basics -- vinegar, lemon, olive oil, salt, pepper, wine, garlic, red onion -- but if we're wrong, add those to the list!
1. Merrill recommends soaking the onions for your salad to lessen their bite (always a good plan with raw onion!) so do that first. Mix together your dressing, too, and set aside.
2. Slice all the vegetables for the salad, and toss them together. Don't dress, just set aside.
3. Now the fun part! Make the stew. Saute garlic in oil. Add tomatoes (the recipe calls for fresh, but we're swapping in canned seeing as it's December and all) and broth and wine. (Optional: sample the wine. The best way to do this is pour yourself a glass and drink it.)
4. Add the fish and seafood. Watch it carefully so as not to overcook. Dress your salad and serve. A special and delicious mid-week meal!
A New Way to Dinner, co-authored by Food52's founders Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, is an indispensable playbook for stress-free meal-planning (hint: cook foundational dishes on the weekend and mix and match 'em through the week).Order now

Difference between revisions of "Along the Yangtze River"
Revision as of 23:19, 16 March 2011
This is a huge river; it is over 6,000 km (nearly 4000 miles) long, about the same as the Mississippi. Only the Amazon and Nile are longer. It is the world's fifth largest river by volume of water discharged, at over 30,000 cubic meters a second, roughly double the Mississippi or Mekong, three times the Saint Lawrence, four times the Danube or Columbia, and more than ten times little streams like the Rhine or Nile.
The Yangtze has been an important transportation route with major cities along its banks for several thousand years.
Chinese civilization first developed along the Yellow River (Huang He) and shortly thereafter spread to two other major areas — the lower Yangtze basin and the rich agricultural lands of Sichuan a thousand km. or more up the river. As the main link between those areas, the Yangtze has been important through most of Chinese history.
The Western name "Yangtze" comes from the stretch of the river from Yangzhou to Zhenjiang, called the Yangzi (扬子) in Chinese. This was the name first heard by Western missionaries and traders, particularly by the British, and it has stuck. Technically it is named in honor of the former emperor Yang. Most Chinese will not understand what you mean if you don't use the proper Mandarin title of "Chang Jiang" unless they are familiar with English.
Many of China's greatest cities lie along the Yangtze. Except for Shanghai — which was unimportant until the 19th century China trade made it one of the world's great cities — all of these have existed for millennia. Listed from the mouth up the river, they are:
The river extends far beyond Chongqing; its headwaters are deep in the Tibetan mountains. Few tourists doing the Yangtze route follow the river much beyond Chongqing. However, travelers on the Yunnan tourist trail see some of the upper reaches of the river near Lijiang. The Yangtze is also one of the three rivers in Three Parallel Rivers National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage region in Yunnan.
Several other ancient and important cities are not actually on the Yangtze, but readily accessible from it:
Of course there are dozens of smaller cities as well.
Get in
Shanghai has a major international airport with connections to almost anywhere. The other major cities on the route have airports and good connections within China, but not many international flights. However, KLM flies Chengdu-Amsterdam, Lufthansa Frankfurt-Nanjing and Korean Air has flights from Seoul to several of these cities.
From Southeast Asia, the only discount flight into the region is Air Asia Kuala Lumpur to Hangzhou.
The most famous part of this route is the sensational cruise ships through the Three Gorges area between Chongqing and Yichang. With the recent enormous Three Gorges Dam project, this route has changed considerably but it is still definitely worth doing. However be careful of the different types of boats and classes within those boats. Traveling on a Chinese tourist boat in 'first class' may not be your idea of 'first class' (one traveler complained of "rats everywhere"). In addition, the only choice for food may be the boat itself for up to 3-days. As such, bring supplies, particularly snacks and drinks for the voyage. If you really want the good experience on the Yangtze, you'd better choose a luxury yangtze cruise in 4 or 5 star rating. These luxury cruises fare include all the shore excursions with English speaking guides and all meals on-board except the dinner on the check-in day. Almost all the tourists travelling on those cruises are very satisfied with the journey.
While one reviewer suggested not to take the Chinese Tourist boat (since they stop at destinations at 6AM, expecting all passengers to get out and look at the scenery, then arriving at 4AM at the final destination and throwing everybody off the boat), another reviewer had a positive experience despite not speaking any Chinese.
Other tips:
The lower Yangtze areas; from Wuhan down through Nanjing and Suzhou to Shanghai; traveling by boat is also an option, but here it is not essential. There are good rail and road connections throughout the area. See High-speed rail in China for Nanjng-Wuxi-Suzhou-Shanghai-Hangzhou routes.
Stay safe
General precautions against common scams and pickpockets are advisable anywhere in China.
Be especially wary of thieves on the cruise boats, using any technique from picking pockets to crawling in portholes to rifle luggage.
Get out
Chengdu is a hub for visiting southwest China. From there, you can:

Like just about all tires, good when new. 70k miles tires should not be on the label. My tires are rotated at every 5k miles when I get my oil change. So far at 25k, it's already down to 50%. 12/32 was new and now 6/32 tread left. This is probably a 50k tire, not 70k. Who knows, maybe someone else can get 70k. Other than tire wore a little quicker than expected, it's a superior tire at new.

Just two weeks to go until WWE kicks off its 2004 pay-per-view season with the 16th annual Royal Rumble, taking place at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. As always, the show will be headlined by the Rumble match, in which 30 superstars (15 from Raw, 15 from Smackdown) duke it out in an over-the-top-rope battle royal.
Wrestlers enter the fray at intervals ranging from one to two minutes (WWE has never been particularly good at keeping time in the Rumble environment). The last man remaining in the ring after all 30 competitors have entered wins a title shot at Wrestlemania.
At one point, the plan was to give John Cena the Rumble win this year and somehow knock him out of the 'Mania main event in the following weeks. But Vince McMahon's inner circle is staying quiet about the final decision on who will be getting his arm raised on the big day.
Names announced for the Rumble match so far include Cena, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Kane, Billy Gunn and Booker T.
Also at the show, Triple H defends his world title against Shawn Michaels in a last-man-standing match, Rey Mysterio puts his cruiserweight strap up against Tajiri and Brock Lesnar wraps up his feud with Bob Holly.

PAGE TURNERS: A string of new wrestling books are set for release in May 2004, including Triple H's bodybuilding book and an autobiography by William Regal.
Ric Flair is also working on his highly anticipated autobiography, with longtime WWE Magazine scribe Keith Elliot Greenberg, for a tentative June release.
Meanwhile, The Life and Death of Owen Hart finally will be available in the U.S. market in March 2004.
The biography, written by Owen's widow Martha Hart and the Calgary Sun's Eric Francis, deals with Owen's personal and professional lives, plus the aftermath of his tragic death at a WWF pay-per-view in May 1999.
SURVIVOR GRAPPLES NEW ROLE: He was known for mimicking his favourite wrestlers on the previous season of Survivor but reality TV's biggest grappling fan could be in line for some ring time of his own.
Jon Dalton -- a.k.a. Jonny Fairplay from Survivor: Pearl Islands -- is reportedly set to debut for NWA TNA in a matter of weeks.
Dalton, who once worked as a personal assistant to Rowdy Roddy Piper, has been vying for a wrestling deal since his run on the top-rated CBS reality franchise.
NASH EXPIRED: Kevin Nash is officially finished with WWE.
In a statement, Nash confirmed his contract expired Dec. 31 and he has turned down an offer to work in the creative end of the company.
Nash hinted he'd be willing to work for other wrestling groups (presumably TNA in North America and Zero-One in Japan) but seemed focused on movie and television roles, the first of which is a part in Marvel Comics' Punisher movie, due for release in April.
DROP KICKS: Maven is taking a leave of absence from WWE to spend time with his mother, who is battling cancer and is in critical condition in a Virginia hospital ... Chris Jericho's angle with Trish Stratus has been the best thing on Raw this past month and now it looks like the storyline will culminate with Y2J rejoining the babyface ranks. At house shows last weekend, Jericho worked as the good guy in matches against Kane ... Bill Goldberg is on his way back to WWE after a successful run in Japan.

I Will Be Missing You
This composition with little shade of melancholy and sentimental romanticism will be useful in your project that requires nice and emotional acoustic background; it also could be used as a cue in your movie. Because of characteristic mood of the track you can easily imagine some events which are going on during spring or summer rain, imagine a love story behind or story about some loss.
If you want some custom edition of this piece, feel free to contact me. In simple cases this can be done for free.

It's not quite midnight anywhere in the States, folks. Are your taxes in? We had an accountant prepare ours this year, for the first time, and boy was that a load off!
In honor, I decided to prepare a special cocktail tonight … but not the one you're thinking of. You're probably expecting the Income Tax, of gin, two vermouths, orange juice, and bitters. Careful readers will remember that Jen's allergic to orange juice, so that's right out.
Next best? What else but the Scoff Law. I used CocktailDB's ingredients, but Gary Regan's proportions (his adaptation calls for grenadine, which I don't currently have):
Scoff Law
- 2 oz. bourbon or rye (I used Wild Turkey Bourbon 101; for some reason, I can't find Rittenhouse rye anywhere right now)
- 1 oz. dry vermouth
- 1/2 oz. lemon juice
- 1/4 oz. green Chartreuse
Technique: Shake, strain, turn yourself about, etc.
On a personal note, I know I missed Mixology Monday this month. I feel rather stupid about it, and I apologize to hostess Anna. The fact is, I completely forgot. I have good reasons–we lost a much-beloved pet a couple of weeks ago, and we're moving to Providence, R.I., next week. That aside, I enjoy MxMo, I haven't missed many, and it gets me posting at least monthly.
I'll probably be pretty quiet for a bit after the move, but I'm looking forward to exploring the liquor stores in the Providence area and possibly even reporting back on my finds. It may even give this blog a needed kick in the ass to get me posting regularly again.

One of the best moments of the VMA's last night was seeing all of the celebrities react to Lady Gaga's performance of "You and I." This is the last VMA post, I swear. I'm already even over it myself, but Flavorwire compiled these reactions together and I thought it was pretty convenient. In the middle of our live text commentaries last night during the show, Ashley told me that she actually liked Gaga last night while I just could not agree with that at all. I can typically enjoy her in small doses, but the theatrics of last night were just too much for me. Her persona was kind of obnoxious. And it was a little bit ironic of her "character" to talk about how Lady Gaga was so into herself when it seemed like the entire show was all about Jo Calderone. Do. Not. Care.
I just wanted to point out that Dave Grohl was not cheering for Jo Calderone, but for Queen's Brian May.

The dB's - Part 2 of fantom's Guest Post
Lead songwriter/singers Peter Holsapple and Chris Stamey also released a pair of essential releases as a duo I'd also recommend picking up "Mavericks" and "Here and Now". An exciting new dB's album entitled "Falling Off the Sky" has been recorded and is scheduled for release later this year. A few tracks have dribbled out in advance of that release.
Fantom's post today is the second in a series of a posts of rare tracks that are essential to the completist amongst us who must posses every recorded second. Thank you Fantom!
Thanks for the warm welcome, Haper - here's the promised sequel. Hopefully playlist file will keep things better organized this time.
1. Excitement - We start with The dB's playing Feb. 22, 1982 in New York what would become one of Chris Stamey's signature songs when he shortly thereafter went solo.
2. Lord of the Manor - Holsapple and Stamey covering the Everly Brothers, Aug 25 1990 in Winston-Salem
3. What I Dig/Espionage - The dB's succeeded several other combos that included Holsapple, Stamey, Will Rigby or Mitch Easter in various combinations, and some of their songs made it into early dB's sets. Here the band segues between two Sneakers songs, Dec. 28, 1979 in Winston-Salem.
4. This Crazy Town - An odd track from a widely circulated collection of demos said to be from 1983/1984. Something from a cancelled soundtrack?
5. Seeing Eye Dog medley - One of my favorite Holsapple tracks from The H-Bombs, another pre-dB's combo
6. The World Keeps Going Round - Cover of the Kinks, dating I believe from 1979, off a tape that mysteriously surfaced in the college radio station mailbox
7. Ask for Jill 3-D - Stamey, with Matthew Sweet and Don Dixon as The Jacks, deconstruct The dB's song on the legendary Luxury Condos, Coming To Your Neighborhood Soon compilation
8. Do You Believe in Magic - A more straight up cover from Holsapple and Stamey, from June 21, 1991 in Atlanta
9. Diamond - The dB's take on the Golden Palimono's track (written but then not sung by Holsapple) at the 1988 reunion of the original lineup
10. House Is Not A Home - Another H-Bombs treat
11. Let's Live for Today - Sneakers themselves in a cover
12. (Untitled) - The oddest track from that 1983/84 Demos set. Who's the female singer?
13. Angels - Holsapple and Stamey on killer track from their first album, on Best of Mountain Stage Live, Vol 5
14. Looking for a Home - An original, I guess, from the last days of the dB's, July 14, 1987 in New York.
15. Money from England - The H-Bombs at Duke University, March 1978. Prescience about the dB's Albion contract?
16. You Can't Take Her - The most interesting of the 1983/84 demos.
17. Elvis, What Happened? - This time, Holsapple under the guise of Mr Bonus, from Luxury Condos
18. Everlasting Love - Cover of the chestnut, Oct 29, 1980 in Carrboro
19. Tomorrow Never Knows - And a take on the Beatles, Oct 20, 1981 in Greensboro
20. Big Time - The full dB's taking on another Stamey solo track to be, from the 1983/84 demos
21. Caught In These Blues - Think I've got the wrong name for this one as think it's a cover... Holsapple in New York, Oct 9, 1985.
22. Do Ya - The dB's in cover mode, June 20, 1985 in New York
23. Death Garage - The dB's take on track from single Holsapple released before joining the dB's, Oct. 20, 1981 in Greensboro
24. The Newlyweds - Holsapple & Stamey take on the Stamey solo track, June 24, 1991 in Northampton, Mass.
25. My Baby Does Her Hairdo Long - The standout track on the whole Bible of Bop, an unusual 1982 album Kimberly Rew split between tracks with The Soft Boys (his fabulous old band with Robyn Hitchcock), The Waves (his then new band with Katrina,
yes)... and with the dB's.
