Bills training camp observations: Day 19
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 19 2014 9:56PM
The Buffalo Bills got through their second straight day of work on Tuesday and took another step in their preparation for the upcoming regular season. Practice had a bit of a different feel to it than what the Bills had been doing throughout the rest of their time at St. John Fisher College.
In addition to a change in operations, the team's quarterback also had one of his better days since training camp started in late July. Here are some observations from Tuesday's practice:
It's game week!
- The second-to-last preseason game is often known as the dress rehearsal for teams ahead of the grand opening that is Week One of the NFL season. Starters typically play longer, with the hopes that the first units can simulate a regular season as much as they can before being removed at some point in the second half. The Bills are taking it a step farther with the idea of the "dress rehearsal" in clear view of their thought processes. Head coach Doug Marrone is having his team watch film on their upcoming opponents, putting together scout teams and preparing a scaled-back game plan for both the starting offense and defense to execute. Quarterback EJ Manuel said after the practice that Tuesday's work on the field was quite similar to a typical Wednesday during the regular season. Wednesdays are usually known as the biggest installation day for teams as they prepare for their upcoming contests. If the usual regular season schedule comes into play for the rest of the week, the Bills might go through a scaled back practice on both Wednesday and Thursday. The team also tried to implement more tempo into the first-team offense, which means that could be a part of the attack against Tampa Bay on Saturday night.
EJ's perfect day
- Going up against the scout team on Tuesday, Bills quarterback EJ Manuel had one of his most successful days of training camp to this point. Regardless of where they were thrown, Manuel finished the day completing all 14 of his pass attempts in team drills. He settled for some short throws early on in the practice, but became increasingly comfortable operating in the pocket and started to take some more chances down the field. Two throws highlighted his day and it just so happened that they were his final two throws of the day. First, Manuel spotted T.J. Graham in single coverage on a go route down the left sideline. Graham battled through a defensive holding penalty, established separation and welcomed in the well-thrown pass for a 55-yard touchdown. Just two plays later, Manuel dropped back and saw Marquise Goodwin open on a slant over the middle that had an extremely tight window. Manuel trusted what he saw, zipped it over the outstretched arms of linebacker Preston Brown and got the ball into the hands of the wideout for a 20-yard gain. It's an encouraging sign that Manuel has put together a quality performance in two of his past four times on the field.
T.J. Graham creeping closer?
- The recipient of Manuel's best pass of the day also happens to be in a fight for his roster life over the next two weeks. Former third-round selection T.J. Graham struggled with confidence in his hands over the first few weeks of training camp which severely hurt his chances of sticking around on the final 53-man roster. Graham has been locked in a battle with wideout Marcus Easley for the sixth and likely final spot on the roster at that position, and up until this week, it's looked like an easy decision. Easley provides more in special teams coverage and has shown well on offensive plays during camp. However, over the past two days of practice Easley has dropped a few passes, which has indeed opened the door a little bit more for his main competition. Graham has looked much more confident over the past two days of practice and is playing as well as he has this summer. Don't count out Graham just yet.
Bills cut benefits Kouandjio
- The team brought their active roster down to 88 players on Tuesday ahead of practice, releasing both wide receiver Kevin Elliott and offensive tackle Edawn Coughhman. While the Elliott release could be just the Bills trying to narrow down their rather large wide receiver contingent, it appears as though the Coughman release has a very specific reason for happening. On Monday, Coughman was moved over to right tackle on the third-team and took all the snaps that came along with it. Now with the third-team right tackle out of the way, the Bills can use Cyrus Kouandjio on both the second and third units, which helps get him more reps and helps the Bills try to develop their second-round pick a bit more. It's temporary because the regular season is a little over two weeks away, but the more snaps the team can get Kouandjio will be for the betterment of his progress as a rookie.
Watkins returns
- The Bills welcomed back their first-round pick to practice after he sat out one day with a rib injury. Upon his return, Watkins was extremely limited in how much he participated in practice. He went through some of the individual drills, but that was the extent of it. During routes versus air, 7-on-7s and in team drills, Watkins watched from the sidelines. It is likely just a precautionary move for their prized rookie receiver. The Bills know he is much more important to them on the field against the Chicago Bears in the regular season rather than in action against either the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or Detroit Lions in the final two games of the preseason. Watkins might get some more time in practice on Wednesday, but don't expect the Bills to try and force him into the lineup for Saturday's exhibition.
Day 19 MVP: DE Jerry Hughes
- After left tackle Cordy Glenn rendered Jerry Hughes ineffective on Monday, Hughes came back on Tuesday with a fury. The first-team defense worked mostly against the second-team offense and Hughes was constantly in the backfield for sacks and tackles for loss. A three sack day during team drills is quite the way to bounce back from his worst practice of training camp in 2014. He's been an overwhelming presence for the majority of camp this year.
Day 19 LVP: OT Chris Hairston
- When the Bills tried Chris Hairston inside at guard, it was a quality decision on paper. Hairston doesn't deal well with speed rushers off the edge, and when he's on the interior of the line, he doesn't have those concerns. The experiment with him at guard failed, and the Bills kicked him back out to tackle — most notably as the second-team left tackle. Hairston fell prey to Hughes on multiple occasions Tuesday, and despite him being a once promising right tackle prospect, Hairston could be on his way out the door in early September.
Injury Update:
S Jonathan Meeks (neck), LB Stevenson Sylvester (knee), CB Mario Butler (ankle) and CB Bobby Felder (groin) did not participate in Tuesday's practice. TE Tony Moeaki left the session early for undisclosed reasons, but he had been previously dealing with a hamstring injury.
Up Next:
The Bills will participate in their second-to-last practice at St. John Fisher College on Wednesday at 8 am. The session is open to the general public. No ticket is required for entry.

Good Questions
Have the Bills traded for a quarterback yet? Have the backups been cut yet?
Joe B.
Im losing respect for you each day. I used to love your insights, but i am often reading conflicting opinions on the practices and EJ manuel. You haven't liked him since the draft and you are constantly critical of him and the one person who is constantly evaluating each of his throws. I still look forward to reading your post but i am loosing respect for your player evaluation. Now you are talking about Chris Hairston being cut? OMG brother, are you watching the same games i have been watching. He has been solid in the preseason games. He may of had a bad day, but he can't be that far away from being a starter. If he gets cut, he will be the first player picked up by the Patriots or Dolphins. They better not let him go. Im not at practices, but i have been evaluating the games and he has been very good in his playing time.
O-Line first team
Did Urbik stay at RG?
EJ looked good against the scout team, that is great news (dripping with sarcasm)
EJ looking good
i miss the Red Helmets

Re: EJ looking good
Which one is it wgr.
Ej looks bad, chris is out the door. The united states just got invade, Miller will be back with the sabres. My son won't take out the garbage. Kelly has join jovi to get the bills. Do you have any more lies that we the fans can read. Message to the bills fans if you really want to see how your team is doing. Just go to their open pratices and judge for yourself. You see the people who are making comments on the bills Are their seeing for themselves. I will take their take on the bills before some of them at wgr. And i am not talking about john murphy; the rest of them know who we are talking about. Lets go buffalo
Why not? Really, what have you got to lose at this point. Two preseason games left. Let's see what he's got. It wouldn't hurt. Our backups stink anyway. TRY IT, YOU MIGHT LIKE IT!!! Refresher...the guy wins.
Joe B's negative comments on EJ
I'm in complete agreement with an earlier comment on Joe B. I read the J Bus' comments daily on EJ and they are nowhere close to those of Chris Brown's evaluation, whom I think is more knowledgeable and closer to the team than Joe B. I'd also like to add that Howard Simon is nothing more than a "fence sitter" who goes with the flow. I am so tired of listening to WGR's Bills'coverage.
hey LOOK THIS UP... Puck Daddy's Summer of Disappointment: Buffalo Sabres Edition
You are gonna LOVE this "PIECE"!!!!! After reading this think about me... and SAY MY NAME! I AM THE ELITE ONE. And NEVER forget.... YOUR WALMART= "THEEEEE BIGGEST NICKLE AND DIME LOoSER FRANCHISE IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF PROFFESSIONAL SPORT"!!!! $30 MILLION "BELOW" THE SALARY CAP. FORE EVER FORE.
Couldn't agree more about Howard Simon
The morning show is slowly drifting towards the negative nonsense of the afternoon. And Howard Simon is driving that ship. Every morning he and Jeremy White have the opportunity to ask serious, hard hitting questions of Buscagopants but they continue to avoid getting the guy to clearly state why he writes the nonsense that he does. I would like to see the station to list these folks credentials. When did Simon coach football. Did Buscagopants ever play? Of course not yet this station continues to role them out there like they are experts. And the next complete, coherent sentence that Bulldog speaks will be his first. Finally, did Mike Schopp leave all of his happy pills in Rochester because he is more sour and 2 year old milk!
Excellent job chris brown.
I agree with that comment. chris always tell you what the problems are and what they need to do to change it. He dose not just dog a player out because you can hear it in interviews. And you can see it from the players. Him and john murphy always get theplayers to talk to them. Because they know by talking to them their message to the fans will get their the correct way. Instead of some body just making things up. keep up the excellent work brown and murphy.

RESEARCH INTERESTSDr. Imanaka's major research interest is the inventory and evolution of the volatile CHNOS elements in planetary atmospheres, planetary surfaces, and, the early solar system towards the understanding of the origin and evolution of life and habitable environments.
He is working on comprehensive laboratory studies of complex organic chemistry related to the atmospheres of Titan and the early Earth. He studies characteristic fingerprints (elemental/isotopic composition, structure, and spectroscopic characteristics) in plausible organic macromolecules in planetary environments.
A comprehensive understanding of such fingerprints is a key for constraining the physical-chemical environments, elemental cycles, and energy balance from available, or potentially available, sets of astronomical/planetary/geological observations.

Health-Care-Associated Infections In Hospitals:
Continuing Leadership Needed from HHS to Prioritize Prevention Practices and Improve Data on These Infections
GAO-09-516T: Published: Mar 18, 2009. Publicly Released: Mar 18, 2009.
Additional Materials:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), health-care-associated infections (HAI)--infections that patients acquire while receiving treatment for other conditions-- are estimated to be 1 of the top 10 causes of death in the nation. The statement GAO is issuing today summarizes a March 2008 report, Health-Care-Associated Infections in Hospitals: Leadership Needed from HHS to Prioritize Prevention Practices and Improve Data on These Infections (GAO-08-283). In this report, GAO examined (1) CDC's guidelines for hospitals to reduce or prevent HAIs and what HHS does to promote their implementation, (2) Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) and hospital accrediting organizations' required standards for hospitals to reduce or prevent HAIs, and (3) HHS programs that collect data related to HAIs and integration of the data across HHS. To conduct the work, GAO reviewed documents and interviewed HHS and accrediting organization officials. To update certain information for this statement, GAO reviewed relevant HHS documents released after GAO's March 2008 report.
In its March 2008 report, which is summarized in this statement, GAO found that CDC has 13 guidelines for hospitals on infection control and prevention, which contain almost 1,200 recommended practices, but activities across HHS to promote implementation of these practices are not guided by a prioritization of the practices. Although most of the practices have been sorted into categories primarily on the basis of the strength of the scientific evidence for the practice, other factors to consider in prioritizing, such as costs or organizational obstacles, have not been taken into account. While CDC's guidelines describe specific clinical practices recommended to reduce HAIs, the infection control standards that CMS and the accrediting organizations require describe the fundamental components of a hospital's infection control program. The standards are far fewer in number than CDC's recommended practices and generally do not require that hospitals implement all recommended practices in CDC's guidelines. Multiple HHS programs have databases that collect data on HAIs, but limitations in the scope of information collected and a lack of integration across the databases constrain the utility of the data. GAO concluded that the lack of department-level prioritization of CDC's large number of recommended practices had hindered efforts to promote their implementation. GAO noted that a few of CDC's strongly recommended practices were required by CMS or the accrediting organizations but that it was not reasonable to expect CMS or the accrediting organizations to require additional practices without prioritization. GAO also concluded that HHS had not effectively used the HAI-related data it had collected through multiple databases across the department to provide a complete picture of the extent of the problem. Subsequent to GAO's report, HHS established a steering committee, with senior-level representation of HHS offices and operating divisions, to develop the HHS Action Plan to Prevent Healthcare-Associated Infections. This plan includes strategies that are intended to address some of the reasons for the lack of effective actions to control HAIs, including some identification of priorities from among the 1,200 recommended practices, and plans to coordinate HAI-related data collection activities across HHS. HHS released the Action Plan for comment in early January 2009, with the intent of revising it based on the public input it received. Following the transition to the new presidential administration, HHS has continued to solicit public comments. Consequently, it remains uncertain when or if the new administration will choose to implement this plan, and if so, with what modifications, to address GAO's recommendations and reduce the serious problem of HAIs.

Dear prospective (and current) student,
If I remember correctly, we have an Open House of sorts for prospective students this week. Hi. I'm Tim. What up?! I'd imagine you are sitting there thinking to yourself, "I have pulled up Gordon-Conwell's blog hoping to find a glimpse of student life. I wonder what deeply profound insights this Tim guy has to offer." Answer? None. Absolutely none. Let's just get that out of the way first. I got nothin' and I'm sorry you're stuck with me. That said, I have a story for you, one that I think you might find helpful. It's one of those "don't do what I did" kinds of stories (and let's be real, those are some of the best kinds of stories).
The Setting: I saw an email from registration at 3pm on Thursday letting me know that the course schedule was released for the next four semesters. I have OT Interpretation from 2 to 5pm on Thursdays and I found it VERY difficult to remain focused for the next 2 hours because my spreadsheet of possible class schedules was screaming my name. I refuse to comment on how much of my screen was notes for class and how much was the new course schedules. You can't prove I wasn't taking notes. Don't try. ☺ To prove that I wasn't a complete slacker that class, I offer the following insight from class: "Plunder the Egyptians!" Out of context, this is quite a weird phrase. In context, though, it was and is a profound antidote to one of most subtle ways my pride has hurt my education at Gordon-Conwell.
The Story: You see, I believe a lie about the educational process. I never vocalized the belief ,but it surfaces in my attitudes and convictions. To put it bluntly, my theory is: If you disagree with me, you are obviously an idiot.
Here's the thing. I'm pretty smart and awfully sure I'm right about 95% of the time. It's easy for me to assume that "if you would just see it my way, you'd get it" because, after all, I'm right. Don't you agree? Oh you don't? Ouch. How sad for you.
I doubt many of you would fail to see the pride oozing from those statements. Sadly, those statements are true of me and they surface in the subtle ways I react to anything I disagree with. When I first came to campus, I saw students passionately discussion pedo- and credo-baptism, women in ministry, Arminian vs. Calvin and I thought to myself "silly seminarians, fights are for heathens" as if I had outgrown my need for discourse. Later, I began to read of divergent views on creation, different hermeneutical lenses, and even picked up some of the conversations from BTI classes and scoffed at the comments offered by professors, authors, and students on these issues. How could they miss the beauty of the Gospel (or Reformed theology, or historical-critical interpretation, etc.)? It's so clear to me! How could they fail to see it how I saw it? Later still, I remember reading a blog on this very site that offered an opinion on church planting different from mine and I thought to myself, "They just don't get it! What is wrong with them? I am going to write a rebuttal post immediately and demand they post it." Just this week I was tempted to throw out an author's entire thesis because I was mad that he took his application a little too far.
And now we come to the problem with my theory: the vast majority of people who disagree around here are actually much smarter than me, having something to offer, but my pride keeps me from learning from them. Pride is competitive. Pride must win, often violently. My pride feels threatened by anyone who disagrees with me and seeks to destroy their credibility to maintain control. My pride demands I attack opposition rather than meticulously dissect it for jewels. This goes way outside of theological education, of course, but for this post I'm keeping it to that discussion.
Should you come to Gordon-Conwell, dear prospective student, you will find yourself in a similar situation as me and must choose how to react. A very smart person is going to disagree with you. Period. When that moment comes, it's too easy to write off the argument as silly and fail to ask what can be learned from them. It's a cop-out to fail to completey engage all sides of their reasoning because one piece fails to prove holistically convincing. Dr. Petter's advice to plunder the Egyptians is advice to take what you can from those who oppose you (restricted only to the context of academic discourse) and leverage it for your continued growth. She meant to engage in those who disagree with us, learn from them, and use what we learn to propel the Gospel. While her comment was originally aimed at engaging secular approaches to biblical studies, I think this posture of humility is important even among denominational differences. You may be more reformed than John Piper but you can learn from an Arminian professor. You may blatantly disagree with a Harvard professor of miracles and supernatural phenomenon, but there is wisdom in learning what we can from such a professor and resolving to disagree with the rest. You may think it's unnecessary to have a conversation about these differences, but you are missing out on an opportunity to grow in your understanding of the Gospel and Christian life. I am awful at this and it is because of pride. I am lazy. I cop-out. And, I need to quit.
So, dearest prospective student contemplating Gordon-Conwell, know this: you are very smart and you have great reasons for thinking about things in the manner that you do, but there are very smart people worth learning from who disagree with you. Don't be like me and write them off because they happen to not fall into your denomination. This is one of the greatest treasures of Gordon-Conwell. You are surrounded by different cultures, different denominations, and different life stories on campus. It goes without saying that the campus is set in a community was vastly different views on life. Have a conversation. You will not be asked to change your beliefs (In fact, you'll be encouraged to keep them.) But you will absolutely be challenged to fully engage, learn from, and (when necessary) respectfully rebut those who disagree with you. It's incredible. Get ready.
Tim Norton is a born-and-raised, small-town Southerner with the sweet tea addiction to prove it. He comes to Gordon-Conwell as a Kern Pastor-Scholar and plans to pursue pastoral ministry in the U.S. after graduation. Tim is a big personality with a strange affinity for the color orange. Currently, he attends GENESIS Church, an Acts 29 church plant in Woburn, MA.

NEW YORK – Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson will make a rehabilitation start Sunday at Triple-A Gwinnett, and soon afterward a decision about the Atlanta starting rotation must be made by team officials.
Gonzalez said it's undecided whether the Braves will switch to a six-man rotation when Hanson returns, a possibility he recently said would be considered for all or part of a stretch of 20 games in 20 days that began on Friday.
Hanson, on the 15-day disabled list with a strained back, wasn't pleased by the decision to have him make a rehab start. The right-hander said he felt good in a bullpen session Friday – his first time on the mound since his July 30 start against Miami — and he hoped to return to the rotation without a rehab start.
He's eligible to return from the DL on Wednesday, but the Sunday start at Gwinnett means Hanson won't be activated before Friday.
Gonzalez said Hanson uttered an obscenity at him and pitching coach Roger McDowell after they told him the plan.
"Which is good," said Gonzalez, who laughed upon mentioning the incident to reporters. "He wants to get back in there. That's why he was grumpy."
After meeting with Gonzalez and McDowell, Hanson told reporters, "I'm not in a good mood," then changed from his workout gear and left the clubhouse to go catch a flight back for the Monday game at Gwinnett.
Gonzalez said the Braves decided to take a more cautious course with Hanson, in part because of setbacks he had late last season when his shoulder was hurt and he tried to return from the DL without a rehab stint.
Gonzalez also said the logistics of a temporary move to a six-man rotation might dissuade the Braves from going with that unusual arrangement.
"We'll wait to see a lot of things," he said. "It's not as easy as people think, because you've got to either go a position player short or a bullpen guy short. And as soon as you do that, it never fails – it's like playing without a [backup] shortstop for one game. Three innings later, [Jack] Wilson dislocates his pinkie."
Kris Medlen seems the likely odd man out if the Braves stick with a five-man rotation, despite Medlen's impressive performance in his first two starts since moving to the rotation. He was 1-0 with a 1.74 ERA in two starts before making his third on Saturday night against the Mets.
Unlike the others in the rotation, Medlen is experienced as a reliever. Also, he has shown both the ability to perform in either role and a willingness to switch roles at midseason without objection.

first, from Wrigley in Chi town.

This is the ugly side of Hanson that's been very obviously brewing underneath for a long time. I can't wait to see this guy out of here, hopefully someplace close where we can crush that 88 MPH dart-throw of his over and over.
August 11th, 2012
6:10 pm
I'd rather see Hanson go to the pen. He's been very up down this year, he looks like he's been hanging out in the Red Sox clubhouse
August 11th, 2012
6:14 pm
Hanson is acting like a diva. He still hasnt stepped up and led this rotation. Teams still on him at will. The guy really has a lot of work to do if hes going to become an elite SP.
August 11th, 2012
6:20 pm
Chipper whined about having to make a rehab start. I guess we should just get rid of that "diva" too. Atlanta sports fans baffle me sometimes…
August 11th, 2012
6:30 pm
Hanson's got a pretty high opinion of himself considering his performance so far. He and JJ can talk about the food at Gwinnett while they share a crying towel.
August 11th, 2012
6:36 pm
Hey DOB-
Any idea what's happened to Hanson's velocity since he came up? Has anyone addressed this within the organization? I find it troubling he went from throwing 95 to around 87-89 recently. That's a significant drop.
August 11th, 2012
6:36 pm
This stuff would have never happened with Bobby Cox as manager and if it did, those guys wouldn't be around very long.. See Yunel Escobar. Hanson hasn't exactly been great, he needs to shut his mouth go down make the rehab start and come back do what he's paid to do and that's win games.
August 11th, 2012
6:40 pm
Hanson needs to shut up. What has he EVER done to warrant having a say in ANYTHING? Last guy any Braves fan would want to pitch in a meaningful game.
August 11th, 2012
6:49 pm
Hanson should realize that he has been a liability this season – particularly in his last couple of starts. A spot on a major league pitching staff isn't guaranteed, you have to earn it and he hasn't exactly been earning it this year. One rehab start in AAA to prove that he can still pitch without walking 7 guys is fair. My guess is that he's really pissed off because he is being asked to prove that he belongs and maybe deep down he's questioning whether he does really belong.
I hope this is a humbling experience for Hanson and he uses it as motivation, but my guess is that Hanson will be moved in the off season.
August 11th, 2012
6:52 pm
Interesting to contrast Hanson's reaction to Medlen, who has been up longer, jerked around constantly, performed better, and still says all the right things. I know Kris is a competitor and can't be thrilled with the way things have gone, but he's been ridiculously flexible. If they bump him back to the BP so this crybaby can come lob his slow fastballs again, that'll be a real shame.
August 11th, 2012

Cosign Bub, Medlen is all class.

D***! A guy wants to compete and is angry because he has to wait! What do Atlanta fans want? Guys with attitude and "swag" who want to mix it up or choir boys? We complained about the choir boys and now Hanson mouthed an expletive and he needs to leave town? He's not having a good year but he wants to get back on the mound and I for one have never questioned his toughness or desire (see last year when he probably should have shut it down). Hanson may never be more than an above average pitcher who when healthy can eat up some innings. Let's not discount the grittiness of competing when a player's health is much less than 100 percent. Especially when said player competes with a relative degree of success.
August 11th, 2012
7:10 pm
D in ATL, I don't care that he said an expletive. I care that he's acting like one.
August 11th, 2012
7:24 pm
Hanson is competitive, and who's surprised? No story here.
August 11th, 2012
7:26 pm
Yea…Tommy Hanson uses profanity & Freddy G accepts it as "swag"…GIVE ME A F-ING BREAK. If anyone else (—) had shown that kind of emotion about having to do a rehab stint (outside of C Jones) they would have been accused of having a BAD ATTITUDE. I suppose its also SWAG to show up to the field intoxicated. I'm guessing red hair and flopping around buys a bit more slack at the TED these days.
August 11th, 2012
7:26 pm
He's making it easy on all of us to wave buh-bye when Boras sends him away.
August 11th, 2012
7:32 pm
Mark (another one), so Medlen isn't competitive?
August 11th, 2012
8:04 pm
Not cool at all for Hanson to act like that. If Hanson doesn't see that he's been sub-par this season then he's very deluded indeed! A rehab start is essential before even a decision should be made. Hanson has to be prepared for another shock to his system — he's clearly the sixth best starting pitcher on the home team roster!
Here is Medlen, who has quietly and professionally taken every dirty job the Braves gave him this season, went from being a highly promising starter, to the disabled list, to long reliever, watching Hanson and Jurrjens struggle but get chance after chance.
Yet, both Jurrjens and Hanson have both acted in a less than professional manner to being sent to the minors for rehab work.
Frankly, Medlen is acting like the professional and Hanson like the petulant rookie!
August 11th, 2012
8:48 pm
Nice analysis, Kris. Bub, you're right on.
August 11th, 2012

Medlen has earned the right to stay in the rotation…

TO ANSWER A QUESTION EARLIER IN THE BLOG HANSON NEVER DID THROW 95 THAT WAS AN INVENTION OF THE DISTURBED MIND OF OUR RESIDENT BLOG EXPERT (SELF PROCLEAMIMED)THE FIRST GAME I REMBER HIM PICGCHNG AGIANS I THINK THE BREWERS GUY ON MILWAUKEE WE FIGHTING EAch other too get too the bat rack

11:03 pm
Got mixed feelings on this and would like to state my two cents worth…
1. The simple fact that Fredi stated in his pre-game comments that Tommy said what he said is a perfect example of the contrast between he and Bobby Cox. First off, don't think Hanson would have gotten away with that to Bobby and second, if he did it wouldn't have been made public. It is what it is…
2. I'm gonna give Big Red the benefit of a doubt. By reading his comments in the past, he is a very competitive person and has a bulldog mentality. There is no problem in someone wanting to be good and feeling like they should have a chance. The only problem is that he has not yet taken that same mentality and translated it to the pitchers mound.
3. I know a lot of people on this blog would like to see Tommy traded after the season ends…and that's always possible. The key to that is whether the Braves are realistically a player in the Zack Grienke free agency sweepstakes. If somehow we got lucky and landed Grienke then Big Red is for the taking…but that's the only way I can see us doing that. And…we must get a major league ready player in return. I'm guessing we may need 2 new outfielders in 2013. If we cannot get Grienke, then we have keep Hanson and hope that he can be a top line starter.
August 11th, 2012
11:30 pm
"Gonzalez said Hanson uttered an obscenity at him and pitching coach Roger McDowell after they told him the plan"
apparently the kid's not as grown up as we all thought he was because he's giving off that spoiled brat vibe
August 11th, 2012
11:42 pm
I don't know the context of the conversation, but it would seem to me that it's best to let your pitching do the talking
August 11th, 2012
11:42 pm
Big Red's days are numbered in Atl. Wouldn't be surprised to see him traded by Aug 31 or at least put on waivers to see who is interested. In any event, he is gone by Spring Training. Can't let a Boras client dictate to mangement what he wants to do or curse at management. If they cannot trade Big Red, I would look for him to be released. He is not good enough to have an attitude.
August 11th, 2012
11:48 pm
With Beachy coming back at some point next year and Teheran and Delgado presumably still a big part of the Braves' plans, Hanson is more of a luxury than a need for the Braves. If Bourn leaves, and I expect him to, then it wouldn't be surprising if Hanson is the key piece in a deal for Bourn's replacement.
A lot of this also depends on if Sheets is brought back and whether or not Wren is intent on landing a legit No. 1. But Hanson's days in Atlanta may indeed be numbered.

on Medlen:"Also, he has shown both the ability to perform in either role and a willingness to switch roles at midseason without objection."
Maybe he needs to utter an obscenity at the coaches,(I think I would) all the team does is win his starts and he still can't be taken seriously for a starting job. What's a poor boy to do?
Go ahead put Tommy Boy back in there and look like a fool.

Hanson just nervous that Gwinnett's opponents are gonna steal 5 or 6 bases off him.
August 12th, 2012

I knew in the spring there was a problem with Hanson . . . when on his way to camp, his car "just ran off the road" for no apparent reason . . . other than the driver!

Saw Hanson on that chowder in B-head
August 12th, 2012
11:27 am
I wish Hanson was that "competitive" on the mound. Every time a runner steals a base (often), a fielder makes a mistake (often Hanson himself), or he fails to lay down a sac bunt (consistently) he goes into pout mode. Even if Fredi decides to go to a 6-man rotation, Hanson is not among the six best starting pitcher candidates available.
August 12th, 2012
11:38 am
@ Hal – you have no idea what you are talking about. He averaged about 93 with his fastball in '10 and got to 95-96 on many occasions.
August 12th, 2012
12:34 pm
Chipper has earned the right over 19 years to decide for himself whether or not he needs a rehab start or 2. At the beginning of the year he chose not to and only homered in his first game back. The second time coming back from the DL he played some rehab games. Tommy Boy has not earned this right especially after last year. I wish Fredi would have had the spine to put him in his place instead of pretending being cussed at by a subordinate was a good thing. Tommy Boy better be grateful his manager is not Bobby V or Sweet Lou.
August 12th, 2012
1:43 pm
I have no problem with hanson being pissed about the rehab start but i hate it for medlin because he deserves to stay and hanson has not been consistent this year. The pitching staff is on a real good run now and you hate to mess that up. On the other hand i kinda think that huddy could use a little breather so i kinda wonder if now wouldnt be a good time to get him some rest before september and the playoffs.
August 13th, 2012

[...] Tommy Hanson wasn't happy when the Braves told him the other day to go to Gwinnett for a rehab start, and it's easy to understand why. As much as the Braves may have legitimate concerns about his back and general health and want to be cautious before activating him off the disabled list, there are two underlying issues here: [...]
August 13th, 2012
11:54 am
Hanson sure ain't what everybody thought he was gonna be – has he pitched an entire season yet?
You just can't compare Hanson's work to Medlin's this season or his last stint ('10) as a starter, before the injury.
Hanson has been Wally Pipped.
Start Medlin.

David Ebershoff
Adult Fiction EBERSHO
Summary: With pre-publication media and buzz, and sales in ten foreign countries to date, David Ebershoff's The Danish Girl is poised for international success. Inspired by the true story of Danish painter Einar Wegener and his California-born wife, this tender portrait of a marriage asks "What do rot, do when someone you love wants to change?" Set against the glitz and decadence of 1920s Copenhagen, Dresden, and Paris, The Danish Girl eloquently portrays the intimacy that defines a marriage and the nearly forgotten story of the love between a man who discovers that he is, in fact, a woman and the woman who would sacrifice anything for him. Uniting fact and fiction into a unique romantic vision. The Danish Girl explores the wry heart of what connects men and women -- and what separates them. But this book, like Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha, transcends the confines of sex and gender and historical place. Ultimately, The Danish Girls lush prose and generous emotional insight make it, after the last page is turned, a love story that no reader will soon forget. With The Danish Girl. David Ebershoff will make one of the year's dazzling lit

Microsoft is attempting to pull the rug out from under Google's talks with Verizon to be the default search engine on its mobile phones. And they're doing so by dishing out the dough.
It's no secret that Microsoft has a bunch of cash on hand. They've been using some of it to create incentive programs like Cashback and SearchPerks to essentially pay people to search.
Now, it looks like they're willing to shell out some green by offering Verizon a larger piece of the revenue-sharing pie than Google has thus far offered.
Could this be why Google was unwilling to spend moolah on a costly court battle defending its now-defunct search advertising deal with Yahoo? Both Google and Yahoo said they could have won the suit, but Google declined to pursue it.
Could this be why Steve Ballmer is saying he's not interested in acquiring Yahoo anymore (depsite the blue light special)?
Mobile is hot and it's only going to get hotter. Becoming the default search engine on the largest mobile carrier in the U.S. (Verizon recently won approval for their acquisition of Alltel) is prime real estate indeed.
The Original Search Marketing Event is Back!
SES Denver (Oct 16) offers an intense day of learning all the critical aspects of search engine optimization (SEO) and paid search advertising (PPC). The mission of SES remains the same as it did from the start - to help you master being found on search engines. Register today!

Why You Shouldn't Try To Compete When Injured
Suffering an athletic injury can be frustrating when you want to return to your game, but it is important to give your body proper healing time to avoid future complications. Once you have sustained an injury, keep an open dialog with your orthopedic surgeon and discuss when it is appropriate to incorporate more intense physical activity back into your training. By following the suggestions of your doctor, you can avoid problems like those listed below.
- Further injury: When an area of the body is injured, it is more likely to suffer further injury when pressure is applied through strenuous activity. You should introduce physical activity back into your routine slowly with the help of a physical therapist if the injury is severe. Once you feel comfortable with light exercise, you can start rebuilding your training regimen. Be aware that the break in your regular training activities will cause muscles to weaken, so a gradual approach is best.
- Longer recovery time: By trying to speed up your recovery with a quick reintroduction to competition, you can actually lengthen your total recovery time. Some injuries like sprains and fractures will take weeks to fully heal, so you should be patient and get plenty of rest while recovering.
- Compromised performance: Many athletes who try to hurry up their recovery and return to the field too quickly will have a harder time getting back to their best game. You may even compromise your athletic career by trying to rush into a performance by causing yourself more severe injury or injury to other areas of the body trying to compensate for the initial trauma.
If you are an athlete who has been sidelined because of a performance injury, contact the physicians at The Orthopedic Clinic Association by calling (602) 639-4027 or visiting our website. TOCA's staff members are specialists in sports medicine, and we can offer you the personalized care needed to restore your abilities.

Homemade Pizza Rolls
Comment on this recipe
1 pound sausage
8 ounces mozzarella
5 tablespoons tomato sauce
Egg roll wraps
Fry sausage until no longer pink. Crumble the meat. Drain grease and put out on paper towels to soak up excess grease. Add cheese and mix. Add tomato sauce (enough to just stick together) and mix. Take egg roll wrap, with point towards you, and add heaping tablespoons of meat and cheese mix onto wrap. Fold over corner and start rolling away from you. Fold in sides and follow through with the rest of the roll. Add a touch of water on the final corner to seal. Continue with remaining egg roll wraps until meat and cheese mix are used up. Fry in deep fryer until golden brown; roll out on paper towels. Caution: insides are hot! Makes about a dozen.
