Playoff Prospectus
ALCS Game 3 Recap: Red Sox 1, Tigers 0
Guess the MLB.com headline!
For the third game in a row, the Red Sox were in danger of being no-hit. For the third game in a row, a Tigers starter had double-digit strikeouts against them. Three of the seven best game scores of this postseason have come against the Red Sox in this series. The Red Sox are up two games to one.
That answers the only question that matters. The Red Sox have won more games and the Red Sox have the edge in the series. But turning to questions that only sort of matter, there's this: Are the Red Sox hitters in a slump? Or have the Tigers starters just been incredible?
Ben and I talked about this, or tried to, on Effectively Wild this week, but we didn't really know how to answer the question of credit. What follows is an attempt to at least poke at it, without concluding anything.
What we're trying to do is separate the moments when the pitcher was able to execute his plan perfectly from the moments he wasn't. If the pitcher executes perfectly, the hitters can't fairly be blamed. If he doesn't, and the hitters don't take advantage, then maybe they can be. So how to figure out when the pitcher didn't execute his plan?
First, let's revisit something a pitcher once told me: the catcher's target matters only for fastballs because, for the most part, the secondary pitches are thrown to about the same target every time. Not exactly, of course. But the point of most secondary pitches is to look like a hittable fastball, induce a swing, and then move out of the zone. Sliders should end up in the same spot; changeups should end up in the same spot; etc. For instance, Max Scherzer's slider usually goes to the same place:

I can't believe you didn't manage to work a "lights out" gag into those headlines.

As punishment, rewatch every gif of Albert Pujols running to first base. That'll teach you.

Lackey got knocked around a bit in the first round but after the "lights out" he suddenly had better command of his curveball and came out a different pitcher the rest of the way. Both pitchers were told to "warm up" during the off period, I suspect that warm up time gave Lackey a chance to iron out what he was doing wrong. Still, I'm not going to go over conspiracy theories. There are a lot of Tigers that have good records against Lackey but somehow didn't come through here. So are we still denying that there's any such thing as clutch hitting?
Oct 16, 2013 06:12 AM
Interesting article on Detroit's pitching. One question that I have is: Boston's whole lineup is in a slump? I believe the sequencing of pitches has really affected the timing of Boston's hitters. I believe the number of check swings in Sanchez's start indicated difficulty picking up the pitch.
Oct 16, 2013 07:14 AM
I wonder if any playoff team has ever had their first three starters pitch as well as Detroit's? I'd be willing to wager that no one has ever bested 21 IP, 6 hits, 2 ER and 35 Ks.

Consumer Reports says more than half of the samples in its study were tainted with telltale bacteria.
You switched to ground turkey to avoid the mess made by the European horsemeat scare? Good for you. Just realize that half of the turkey you're eating is coated in feces.
In an announcement that's not likely to quiet your smug vegetarian and vegan friends any time soon, Consumer Reports says that more than half of the ground turkey samples it tested for a recent study were contaminated with fecal bacteria.
So to avoid unwittingly eating the horse found in ground beef at Burger King (BKW), Yum Brands' (YUM) Taco Bell, Wal-Mart (WMT) and Ikea outlets throughout Europe, folks have started eating . . . well . . . traces of poop.
The test covered 257 retail samples from 21 states and 27 different brands -- including Cargill's Shady Brook Farms, Jennie-O, Perdue, Publix, Whole Foods (WFM) and Trader Joe's -- all purchased in retail stores. Almost 70% of the samples contained enterococcus, while 60% contained E. coli. Both are signs of fecal contamination.
Some of the bacteria found in the tested samples can cause food poisoning, as well as urinary, bloodstream and other infections. Overall, Consumer Reports found than more than 90% of the ground turkey samples it tested contained at least one of the bacteria its test was looking for -- salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, enterococcus and campylobacter. No campylobacter was found.
It wasn't great news for organic shoppers, either, as Consumer Reports found that conventional ground turkey and turkey labeled "no antibiotics," "organic," (which doesn't use antibiotics) or "raised without antibiotics" were equally likely to contain the four bacteria. The lone difference, the magazine says, is that the bacteria found in conventional turkey is far more likely to be resistant to the antibiotics used to fight them.
For its part, the National Turkey Federation industry group that represents the $29.5 billion turkey industry issued a press release calling the Consumer Reports study "alarmist." That tends to be the case when a consumer watchdog group sounds an alarm.

Last weekend saw the Chamonix round of the Lead World Cup. Here's a report from Chamonix based photographer Thomas Humpage.
Spirits weren't dampened by the evening's downpour as the crowds turned up in droves to watch the Finals of the Lead Climbing Competition.
Canadian Sean McColl started as favourite after qualifying 1st and being the only competitor to complete the semi finals route. The big shock of the night came from French local Romain Desgranges (ranked 5th in the world) who fell from just a few meters off the ground, a disappointing start to the year. Japan's Sachi Amma went on to win with a fantastic climb scoring a 43+ and setting the standard for the next event.
A tense women's final saw Mina Markovic (Slovenia) and Jain Kim (Korea) both finishing with a 42+ score. Mina Markovic became the overall winner being the only women to complete the Semi final route. H�l�ne Janicot (France) looked disappointed just missing out on the medals and finishing in fourth place in front of the home crowd.

Nicki Minaj made a grand entrance when she arrived at the American Idol season 12 premiere screening and Q&A at UCLA's Royce Hall in Westwood, California on Wednesday night (January 9) in this eye-popping dress. Even though fellow judge Mariah Carey called out the rapper for creating an "unsafe work environment" while taping, we would say the only dangerous thing about the Barbz last night was her incredible curves. Fingers crossed that there will be a version of this colorful bandage dress in Nicki's upcoming "affordable" clothing line.

The last section of the "Museum for Oberlin" exhibition offers a selection of recent acquisitions that were presented to the AMAM as gifts-in-kind from donors or purchased with museum funds designated specifically for that purpose. Since general College funds have never been used to acquire art for the museum, Into the Future celebrates the generosity and foresight of the many donors who help the museum to continuously develop the collection. In addition to works that amplify existing collection strengths, the works on view showcase the growing holdings of photographs spanning the entire history of the medium, as well as twentieth-century art from Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, and Japan. These artworks have already played a central role in inspiring innovative curricular approaches to teaching and learning and support a broad range of class visits across the College and Conservatory.

After an impressive 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings, the San Jose Sharks continued to struggle on the road.
Against the Kings, the Sharks played a strong 60 minutes from the goaltending to the offense. Against the Avalanche and Stars, the Sharks could not keep up the high level of play they exhibited against the Kings.
The offense has finally been blessed the scoring touch. All lines are applying pressure on opposing defenses and scoring. The Sharks' attack has been effective in penetrating the slot and creating scoring chances from high percentage areas in front of the net. There seems to always be someone in front of the net screening the goalie making stopping the puck hard.
The success on the offensive side of the puck has come from all four lines working hard to create turnovers, consistent and constant shooting, and crashing the net. The stars of the last three games have been rookie Logan Coture, Dany Heatley, Joe Pavelski, Patrick Marleau, and Scott Nichol, while Ryane Clowe, Jamie McGinn, and Torrey Mitchell have also been relentless in their pursuit for the puck. Perhaps even more importantly, Sharks' forwards have been doing their part on the back check to help out the defense.
The defense was great against the Kings, but slacked against the Avalanche and against the Stars while missing Douglas Murray and Niclas Wallin. During the last game of their home stand, the defense was strong with their coverage keeping puck carriers to the outside and chances away from the front of the net.
Once they went on the road, Mike Moore and Derek Joslin took over for the missing Wallin and Murray. The defense did a good job for the majority of the game, but it missed the physical presences of the two scratched D-men, especially that of Murray. The new defensive pairs were not quite as effective in keeping attackers away from the net. Moore, who scored his first NHL goal against the Avalanche, and Joslin did a good job helping out on the offensive and were able to play tough in the defensive end. It took a while for them to settle in with the team when they started playing against Colorado.
Despite the lack of success on the road, the goaltending of Antero Nittymaki and Annti Niemi was good. Niittymaki had issues following the pace of the desperate late Avalanche attack along with the defense in front of him which continued into the overtime. Same story happened with Niemi against the Stars. Both netminders seemed to lose focus at the end of the game when it mattered. Seems to be an issue the Sharks have to deal with on the Road, staying focus and strong through to the end. The positive side is that they managed to come out with a point in each game.
Early on in the game against the Stars, there was a lack of flow as if the entire game was a mash-up of broken plays which made the flow hard to follow for any players on either side. The goals given up in the first period could not be held against the defense. The Sharks responded strongly eventually regain the lead while controlling the play.
The power play must pick up its pace again. The Sharks wasted two double minors on the road, chances that could have put the game out of the reach of both hosts. The penalty kill was good at some points of the game with putting pressure on other teams' PK units and poor at other times.
The inconsistencies in the Sharks' special teams and their play in the defensive end must become more consistent before they can hope to be successful during the rest of the season and playoffs. The inconsistencies may be helped with the return of Murray and Wallin from their injuries. Until they return the defense will struggle to play a strong 60 minutes anywhere without a defensemen stepping up to lead the team.

El Paso, TX (KDBC) — Radioactive materials were found in a bunker at Fort Bliss, and while officials on post don't believe anyone was exposed, we spoke with a legal expert today about the potential ramifications should someone end up getting sick. Dr. Shezad Malik has represented numerous clients who have been to radiation as part of class action lawsuits. The Dallas attorney is also a medical doctor.
Here is a part of our conversation with Dr. Malik:
Local 4 News: "We were told today there are no records as to what was buried on that site. Can legal action be taken against the military or the Department of Defense because there are no records? Does that complicate things?
Dr. Malik: "It does complicate the case, but I'm sure the military being a bureaucracy, they will keep some records, and the records ought to be found and they'll be in some place on some dusty shelf somewhere that perhaps people don't remember or don't know. Unfortunately that's the problem with the Department of Defense, it's this huge bureaucracy."
Local 4 News: "The Army is saying this property was under the control of the Airforce back when this material was buried, so what legal action can be taken in this case if it was indeed Airforce property at the time?"
Dr. Malik: "Well, the issue all comes under the Department of Defense at the end of the day, whether it's Army, whether it's Navy. No matter the branch of military at the end of the day it's the Department of Defense the overarching group of people, and then you'd have a claim against the federal government and the United States."

Spina bifida affects one out of every 1,000 babies born in the United States.
While it is a cause that might not get as much attention other disabilities, hundreds tried to change that Saturday morning.
"I'm going to walk and I'm going to run," says Stevan Rodriguez, who's supporting his cousin with spina bifida.
There are plenty who will roll their way through the 4th Annual Spina Bifida Walk 'N Roll at Steele Indian School Park.
You might remember 11-year-old Owen Smyser, who wanted more than anything to raise enough money so he could get a service dog. $11,000 later, Vito might just be that companion.
"Funds raised can help benefit kids with spina bifida with service dogs and hand bikes," says Owen Smyser of "Team Owen."
Dave Martin was born with spina bifida. He says the condition, which is Latin for split spine, can have an impact from complete paralysis to requiring assistance with a cane to walk. And it's not a well-known condition for families not directly connected.
"We want to get awareness out there to help so it doesn't happen again and if we can decrease the chance of having spina bifida kids by 70 percent, I want to do it," says Martin, part of the Arizona Spina Bifida Association.
"For these kids who have these struggles, they go through day to day and they still truck on and stay positive, I mean they're motivating for me."
"It's about raising money for spina bifida, helps out a lot of people," says Gabriel Scanlan.
Like most of these kids, Gabriel Scanlan would love to just be a kid and talk about movies and superheroes.
"I like when Bruce Banner turns into the hulk and he turns all mad," says Scanlan.
He's hoping that will a little more attention, education, funding and even just adding folic acid to the diet, small things could make a big difference.

I am disappointed that after the Newtown massacre, "The Day" would run an AP picture/article. "Supporters on gun rights rally in Conn., across nation," (Jan. 20), showing a young boy, wearing an NRA cap.
I am sure that young Daniel Deal is not familiar with the reason why he wears that hat or why his parents dragged him to an NRA rally at the Capitol in Hartford. What were they thinking?
What do you think about Defense Secretary Panetta lifting a ban on women in combat?

It's another day in the life of the busy Obama administration. In this case, it means another day of despair for America's social and religious conservatives.
President Barack Obama lifted restrictions on federal funding of human embryonic stem cell research on Monday, angering abortion opponents but cheering those who believe further scientific investigations could lead to breakthrough treatments for many diseases. You can see our report here.
Since taking office on Jan. 20, Obama has also lifted a ban on funding for overseas groups or clinics that provide or counsel on abortion services, rescinded a Bush administration rule to protect health workers who refuse to provide services and information on moral grounds, and publicly backed the constitutional separation between church and state which he said America's founding fathers "wisely drew."
This is a sharp departure from his predecessor, George W. Bush, whose eight years in office represented a challenge to the country's liberals. Now it's conservative Christians, who comprise a key base for the opposition Republican Party, who find themselves in a dilemma.
Religious and social conservatives oppose embryonic stem cell research because it involves destruction of human embryos.

While maintaining the basic structure of the popular existing mid-class sports model "FZ6-S Fazer"(with cowling), the new "FZ6" has been designed with greater running performance, new body parts and environmental performance that clears EU3 standards to achieve a higher level of overall product performance.
Introduced in 1998, the previous Fazer was built upon a retuned YZF600R engine positioned on a steel-tube frame. The bike sold very well because it was eminently functional.
The Yamaha FZ6 is a motorcycle that was introduced in 2004. The bike was developed basing on the 600 cc Fazer, who needed a brand new design and a smoother engine. The bike is build around the 2003 YZF R6 engine which was retuned for more usable midrange power.
This motorcycle belongs to the super sport-touring class and this segment tries to be dominated by all Japanese builders. So the bike has a very strong competition coming from the Honda 599, Kawasaki Ninja 650R and Suzuki SV650.
Both the SV650 and FZ6 are fuel-injected, but as the Honda's 599 engine is derived from a pre-fuel-injection CBR600 carbureted as well, and has a handlebar-mounted choke. The 599 mill is mounted in a mono-back-bone steel frame, while the FZ6 and SV650 have aluminum-alloy main frames, though weight-wise the 599 actually falls between the heavier FZ6 and minimalist SV650.
The 2007 model is a very versatile, middleweight with fuel injected R6 power and light, strong aluminum frame that gets a new swing arm, four-pot brake caliper, fairing, seat, and revised injection mapping. The bike is strongly built to do almost anything and to take you anywhere. This is the bike you will ride to work during the week and through serpentines in the weekends, satisfaction included.
We have to admit: Yamaha's FZ6 has always looked great. The headlights give the bike its cool looking face and the windscreen provides her with aerodynamics. Redesigned fairing, windscreen and new, high quality paint look great and reduce turbulence. The gas tank has a very modern design and it looks like an integrated part of the aluminum frame.
This motorcycle has a very comfortable seat but more important it's what's under the seat: a stainless steel exhaust system with head shield which looks cool and doesn't interfere with passengers or luggage.
At the end there are also redesigned passenger foot pegs made from aluminum for better comfort and appearance.
The bike's technical features make it as attractive as it's looks. The 600cc liquid-cooled 16-valve DOHC four cylinder engine with special cams and intake tracks is tuned to produce maximum torque and horsepower at more accessible rpm levels.
The fuel injection system provides the bike with its good response and performance but the large radiator with ring-type fan keeps the engine on a reasonable temperature.
Yamaha's FZ6 is equipped with a six-speed gearbox with triangulated input and output shafts, heavy-duty clutch and through-the-frame shifter for years of precise, positive shifting.
This bike's single shock ageless rear suspension is simple and light, with sport-biased damping tuned for a controlled, progressive feel; extruded aluminum swingarm is 23.2 inches long for reduced chain-pull effect, further bolstering the FZ6's outstanding handling.
43mm, wide-set fork tubes for excellent rigidity and confident braking performance.
Extremely light YZF-R6-type five-spoke wheels keep unsprung weight low for improved suspension action and handling, acceleration and deceleration.

Test Drive
The Yamaha FZ6 is a machine very well developed and with great road characteristics. The bike is extremely maneuverable and because of the position given by the seat and handlebars you feel very confident and relaxed with traffic ahead. Ridding the FZ6 is not a very demanding task but because of the engine's power reserve at high revs I had to be a bit careful with the throttle. The reconfigured R6 engine is very smooth and it provides usable power for as low as 5500 RPM and things remain strong all the way to the double digits, with enough of the old, rev-happy R6 character.
The suspensions are made to keep the rider in complete comfort but they are also adjusted for a good road performance.
The FZ6 has powerful brake both front ( 4 break calipers) and rear (1 break caliper) and this is great news because the bike is the fastest in the middleweight standard class.
But let's not forget a very important thing on a bike: the sound it produces. And the FZ6's is music to my ears and because of the position of the exhaust you get to feel like you are an integrated part of the motorcycle and this is for many riders a very important detail when buying and riding a bike.
This motorcycle, although it has the sporty engine is not a machine build for speed but more for the joy of ridding with a lot of power available. So it wouldn't be too hard for you to find a 2004 model with a low number of miles and in a perfect condition. That bike will cost you around $5000 and it won't disappoint.
But if you want a brand new 2007 model you will have to pay a little extra and for $6849 you will get a 0 miles bike to ride and enjoy of.
The FZ6 is a very complex, smart and rational package. The bike has style and power provided by it's YZF-R6 engine (the best in it's class) and this seems to be all it needs.

First vacation to Oahu - it was a Wedding - Vacation. Our stay at 1188 was 10 days. Loved the amazing view, the suite was clean, good size, large king bed was very comfortable. The location was excellent. The beach was a short walk. We found a Market Place a couple of block up from the Condo, with was good for purchasing a few grocery items. We had booked a few day trips, and the pick up was very close to the condo. We also used the city bus, which was also easy to use. We enjoyed our stay and had a great vacation.

This is our second trip to Hawaii in 12 months, and our second time at the Ilikai Marina, but our first time in Condo 1188. I would not hesitate in recommending both the location and the condo - the Illikai is easy walking distance to both the centre of Waikiki and Ala Moana shopping centre, but also quiet and relaxing as it is away from the crazy crowds. Multiple buses, and the trolley, stop just outside the building on ala moana blvd, so it is super easy to get around.

The condo is obviously older, but reasonably well-maintained. It is furnished in a bare-bones, unremarkable style, and a couple of things need attention.

This condo is ideal for a relaxing beach vacation. The location couldn't be better! It's right by the lagoon and beach but in a much quieter area so not crowded. A short walk to restaurants and shopping in either direction. The interior was very comfortable and can sleep 4 with no trouble. The kitchen, dining and living area were perfect for cooking and hanging out. The balcony was perfect because it overlooks the beach and the marina but is on the 11th floor so felt very private. We have stayed here now for 6 years in a row and will be back to this condo again.

We took a trip to Costco for food and drinks and split the bill - that is the way to go as the local food market is really expensive. We found that the condo had literally everything we needed which was perfect. We did alot of walking to Waikiki which was good since we were eating and drinking alot! Lol. Thanks Gary and Mary!

I've been to Oahu many times and have stayed in hotels in Waikiki. Most of the hotels are nice, but the rooms lack any space. Since I have used aloha Condos for my stays on the Big Island, this time I stayed in one of their condos on Oahu. The Ilikai marina was built in 1968, but the building itself is kept fresh, though they could use new carpet in the hallway leading to the rooms. Room 1188 seems to have been updated recently and was a very nice place to stay. I did not use the kitchen to cook, but the appliances were also undated.

Clean and well kept. The view is fantastic. Very centrally located with easy access to Waikiki and ala Moana beaches. We preferred the waves at Waikiki near the Sheraton so it was a bit of a walk along the beach but we didn't mind that. The condo has all the amenities you need, and the kitchen is well equipped. Very happy we picked this place for our holiday.

Our stay was very good like last time. We had a small problem when we arrived as the lock was recently changed and the code that we were given did not work. Hopefully, the local manager was very quick in responding and fixed the problem (Thanks Jim!). Another thing: the wi-fi did not work. There must be a problem with the password or something. Also, it was a little bit more noisy that last year (because of the Chart House Restaurant below). Hopefully, we were on the 11th floor. All in all, we had a very good stay. Condo well maintained, fantastic view, and very conveniently located.

Thank you for your review and we appreciate the feedback.
Our guests do sometimes stain the carpet and after several unsuccessful attempts to remove the stains by steam cleaning, we decided to replace the carpet with a simulated wood floor - it's more attractive, and easier to keep clean. This was completed in November of 2008.
Although we have had no other complaints about the towels, our towels were replaced early this year (2009) when we brought in a new local contact and cleaning crew.
Both we (the owners), and our local staff make guest satisfaction a high priority. Guests are provided with contact information and we do respond to all our guest's concerns. The recent positive responses from our other guests confirm that we are achieving this priority.

The basis for the series is that our heroes, representing the forces of Good, are engaged in a constant battle with the forces of Evil. But, since folks are touchy about religion, all the names have been changed to protect propriety. This also gives us leeway to create cool, modern (or post-modern) sounding names for our Hero. "Slayer" is much easier to sell to the general public than "Templar", and certainly better connotatively than "Inquisitor". "Whitelighters" might be "Angels" or "Saints", but might not. They are much more new-agey, and handy around the house, too. Samantha Stevens nose-twitched away most of the stigma against Witches, so we can go with that, but what say we call the ruler of the Netherworld, our biggest Big Bad "Prime Evil" so as not to offend any Theistic Satanists. And let's avoid any problems in the Bible Belt by just calling the ultimate good guys the "Powers That Be" rather than naming any "real" gods or angels. This also helps if you want one (or two or three) of the Powers That Be to go Evil. Of course, this also makes it easier for us to make sure that Our Vampires Are Different, maintain the Balance Between Good and Evil, and come up with a fresh Sorting Algorithm of Evil. Theology majors and occultists won't be able to complain that we didn't do our homework, because we eliminated all that dry scholarly crap in the interest of making our background accessible to the average viewer. It's The Theme Park Version of religion, where everybody's not using the "G" word. Related is Witch Species. Compare to Crystal Dragon Jesus which refers to religious analogues or allegorical representations of real world religions in fictional (generally Science Fiction or Fantasy) settings. Faux Symbolism is the inverse, where something isn't about religion but is made to look like it is.

The FAA announced September 8th it has selected four unleaded fuels for the first phase of testing at the FAA's William J. Hughes Technical Center. The goal is for government and industry to work together to have a new unleaded fuel that reduces lead emissions for general aviation by 2018.
The FAA will delay issuing a Final Rule that simplifies the process of certifying new airplanes by two years, according to a FLYING Magazine online report. Overhaul of 14 CFR 23 is expected to reduce the requirements and therefore the cost of certifying new airplanes and equipment, hopefully spurring innovation in light aircraft.

With the Utility Regulators, Day 2: Portfolio Theory Makes Wind and Solar More Valuable
Any discussion about U.S. energy today inevitably turns to the new, abundant and cheap natural gas supplies being fracked from shale basins -- and how solar and wind can compete with it.
