Well, IG-88 has the upper hand thanks to his pals. But HK-47 has better lines.
Naw, he definitely planned it. Remember how fast Sidious was going when he was dueling Yoda? That was way more speed than when he faced Mace.
Eggs and Bacon.
Revan=ownage. 10/10 for my favorite sith lord (but Vader is favorite of all time).
He doesn't "own" Jango, merely defeats him after a heated conflict. I'm talking about if they ever fight. Besides, one of the true reasons why Boba beats Jango is because Boba came years before Jango. If it had been the other way around this would probably be the JFFC, or the B and J FFC at least.
Should that happen, this would just be the FFC.
those they didn't have. but that boba is pretty cool.
heh, randomly searching google I came across a site called www.pixeljoint.com which has all these little icon figures. Here's some from the Star Wars section.
that looks awesome.
the music in the pic orchestra for my school musical isnt that great, im considering dropping.
anyways, look at these fetts
Back on topic, Boba clearly owns Jango.
"May the force be with you.... and your rifle"... hehehehe.
Lol, this is a great fan-film. Link can be found here. Episode 3 Part 3 is now out. PS- watch after the credits of Episode 3 Part 3 to get a sneak peek of Episode 4 Part 1.
and now i have changed my avatar. V for Vendetta owns. hmm, F for Fettdetta. nah..
well, republic commando owns, 9/10. scorch is my favorite.
Tom Bombadillo???
I found his cut from the movie sad too.
isnt antidisestablishmentarianism the longest word in the world? or is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?
i seriously never knew.
it's interesting 8/10.
im thinking of changing mine. should i?
you know, when Sidious was testing Darth Maul, he was harassing him. Maul gets this incredible rage and almost kills Sidious, but Sidious was going light and could have sliced him at anytime.
thank you.
and he even had the blood of Master Sifo-Dyas....
he just wants money, that's all. think like a fett...
If you keep saying that Jango would die when Lord Vader went to Mustafar, you're wrong. Jango is just a bounty hunter. Or, as he puts it, "I'm just a simple man, trying to make my way in the universe". Bounty Hunters are not affiliated with any side, the only side they are affiliated with is a guild they might join.
lol, that would be like in south park, where somehow kenny always dies. Instead, Jango always wrecks his jetpack and gets a new one.
If you look at it, Anakin really has no skill. He's a n00b, always getting the cheap shots.
List of cheap shots:
Had to use Zam's gun while it was in her hand to crash her ship
Kills the two Tusken Raiders when they're not looking (cuz them Tuskens owned his mama!)
Cut's off Dooku's hands because he held them together
Cut's off Mace's arm when he's about to kill Palpatine
Chokes Padme after she looks at Obi-Wan
Cut's off Obi-Wan's head when he puts his lightsaber up after looking at Luke
Cut's Luke's hand off after twirling it around
Grabs Palpatine from behind (although Palpatine got him for that) and throws him overboard
You know, Jeremy Bulloch practiced that stunt quite a while before they shot it. And the bottom of the sarlaac pit's mouth is a nice cushion for the guys to fall onto.
lol, i watched jedi after seeing this, and just laughed after watching it go in fast time. He actually kicks twice at the same guy. Once from before that little part (the part where boba aims at luke), then the kick itself.
nice, durge owns. 9/10

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Countless cars and trucks were submerged across Tennessee during the historic floods earlier this month.
With every flood, some of those vehicles are bound to end up being sold again to unsuspecting buyers.
The Tennessee Motor Vehicle Commission is concerned that scam artists may purchase flood damaged cars and try to sell them without warning the buyer.
Mike Schumacher of Mikes Mobile Repair said, "Your average person is not going to notice a lot of the damage."
Schumacher has seen it all after a couple of decades of working on cars.
Whether it's a bad alternator or water damage, he says water can do serious damage to a car and sometimes that damage can be easily hidden.
"They're going to make them smell nice, they're going to make them look nice, and they're going to wash them all down and make them nice and pretty and it's going to look like nothing ever happened to it," said Schumacher.
The commission suggests buyers look for mud and rust or a mildew smell in the car.
They also say buyers should test drive the vehicle on hills, highways and stop and go conditions, and should always get the vehicle inspected before purchasing.

We were very lucky. A change in wind direction could have caused the town of Foresthill or the city of Colfax to be evacuated from the path of the Robbers fire in Placer County, with who knows what kind of damage. As it turned out, the winds and the weather cooperated and the fire in steep, densely forested terrain along the north fork of the American River was contained to less than 3,000 acres.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the firefighters from all over California. This fire had a few thousand boots on the ground including California National Guard troops and employed an impressive array of firefighting assets.
The other debt we owe is the $13 million price tag for just the cost of fighting the fire paying for the crews, food, equipment, planes and helicopters. A dozen firefighters were injured while putting their lives on the line. Fortunately, no one was killed and only five buildings were destroyed. Next time we may not be so lucky.
As expensive as this fire was, it will continue to invoice us in the future, long after it stops smoldering.
The Sierra Nevada mountain range is one of California's greatest assets. It is the place we go for our recreation, where we live and work, and it provides habitat to wildlife of all kinds. It is also where we get our water. Whether you live in Sacramento, the Central Valley, the Bay Area or Southern California, most of your water starts in the Sierra.
The Delta is now the center of so much attention and debate? Yes, most of that water originates in the Sierra Nevada region's snowpack and watershed ecosystems. Unfortunately, many of these forested watersheds are so overgrown with underbrush and a thick crown that they are ripe for a major fire of catastrophic proportions.
The five worst fire seasons ever recorded in California have occurred in the past 12 years. Today's fires burn much hotter, and the scorched earth they leave behind results in severe erosion problems and more costs downstream. At a time when state policymakers are grappling with long-term water needs, filling our reservoirs from the bottom up with silt and mud isn't going to help.
How did we get here? "Successful" fire suppression methods have certainly played a role along with a lack of collaboration. But there is good news: Things are changing for the better, and the solutions, while not perfect for all, come at a fraction of the costs we taxpayers are coughing up to fight forest fires.
The Sierra Nevada Conservancy, a state agency, is actively working with diverse stakeholders to achieve healthier forests and communities. For example, a thinning project funded by the conservancy slated to begin this fall will reduce the threat of fire for Auburn, above the American River canyon. The cost? About $60,000. Contrast that amount with the untold millions it would cost to protect that city from a fire.
These restoration efforts also improve habitat conditions and will keep carbon stored in the trees rather than going up in smoke. And importantly, this work provides jobs and helps Sierra economies.
We have also co-sponsored, with Calaveras County Supervisor Steve Wilensky, a collaborative effort called the Amador-Calaveras Consensus Group. The group has brought together parties with diverse interests. They have found a way to work collaboratively to restore the forest, create jobs and turn forest biomass into energy and useful byproducts.
The cost of these restoration efforts is a fraction of the cost of fighting even one large fire, and no luck is involved.
The conservancy is leading an exciting effort in the Mokelumne River watershed to determine its true value to its many beneficiaries. The city of Denver has taken similar steps and has invested $33 million "upstream."
Recently, the U.S. Forest Service announced that three groups in California successfully obtained grants for forest biomass processing. These investments will pay off down the road.
The Sierra belongs to all of us. If we take care of it, it will continue to provide world-class recreation, scenic beauty and clean drinking water. We were extremely lucky with the Robbers fire, but with the current conditions of overgrowth in the Sierra, the deck is stacked against us. The good news is that after years of playing it "close to the vest," the parties around this table are showing their cards and realizing that through collaboration, the Sierra Nevada can be restored in a manner that makes winners of us all.
Jim Branham is the executive officer of the Sierra Nevada Conservancy.

Starting Kindergarten at Age 6
Guest blogger Ronda Kaysen: More parents are deciding to delay kindergarten for a year, so their kids will have a leg up at school and be more mature when they start. After all, due to "No Child Left Behind," the days of freewheeling kindergarten classes with lots of playtime have been replaced with more academically rigorous programs.
But here's the pickle: The kids who start on time at age 5 are suddenly finding themselves being the youngest kid in class -- and are having trouble keeping up.
In a lengthy New York Times piece, parents lamented the woes of starting their kids too early. Some worried that their child wasn't mature enough to sit down for a full day; others, that their kid would be the youngest in the class. But one mom whose child started on time had a good point. "Someone has to be the youngest in class, no matter how you slice it," Washington mom Susan Messina, 46, told the Times.
Messina's daughter, Clare, started kindergarten at age 4. Now Clare is 9 -- and has classmates who are a year and a half older than she is. "She has friends who are 11 who are going to get their periods this year, and she's still playing with American Girl dolls," said Messina. Other moms worry that their appropriately aged kids will be benched on the high-school basketball team because their older classmates will be bigger and stronger than they are.
The parents who decide to hold their kids back, meanwhile, say they're worried about their kids' emotional development and want to make sure they're not pushed too fast too soon. "Technically, Lillian could go to kindergarten," said Ohio mom Rachel Tayse Baillieul. Her 4-year-old daughter, who was born five days before the kindergarten cutoff date, could have started kindergarten this year. But when Lillian's preschool teachers recommended that she take another year of half-day preschool, Baillieul decided to take their advice. "They said staying in preschool a year longer will probably never hurt and will probably always help, especially with social and emotional development," she said.
But holding a kid back has its risks, too. A 6-year-old might be bored and restless in a class designed for 5-year-olds -- and that problem could continue throughout his school years. And then there's the issue of cold, hard cash. Deciding to hold your kid back for a year requires money: You have to be able to afford another year of private preschool or another year of childcare. Parents who don't have that luxury just send their kids to kindergarten when they reach the right age, whether they're ready or not.
Moms, what do you think? Have any of you decided to delay kindergarten? How did it go for you?

Political business cycles at the municipal level
AbstractThe present article tests predictions of rational political business cycle models using a large and previously unexplored data set of Portuguese municipalities. This data allows for a clean test of these predictions due to the high level of detail on expenditure items, an exogenous fixed election schedule, and homogeneity of Portuguese local governments with respect to policy instruments and institutions. Estimation results clearly reveal the opportunistic behaviour of local governments. In pre-electoral periods, they increase total expenditures and change their composition favouring items that are highly visible to the electorate. This behaviour is consistent with an effort to signal competence and increase chances of re-election. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2007

Found November 28, 2012 on NFL Injury Report:
PLAYERS: Miles Austin, Ed Werder
TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins
TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins
Despite having to leave the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving day game with a hip injury, Miles Austin is expected to play Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Austin was injured early in the game last Thursday and had to leave the field. He did not return, complaining of hip and back pain. ESPN's Ed Werder is reporting that sources have told him Austin's injury is not severe enough to keep him from Sunday's game and the wide receiver is expected to play. Dallas dropped their game on Thursday against the Washington Redskins, and the concern was they may have lost one of their best offensive threats in the process. Austin is second on the team in receiving yards and touchdowns. He has 727 yards-receiving and four touchdowns. Austin is a seven-year veteran, all with the Cowboys. His best season came in 2009, but he has been one of the most productive receiver on the team throughout his career. The Cowboys will need every threat they have at their disposal. They are 5-6 on the season and on the verge of dropping out of playoff contention. Once again this year, the Cowboys have failed to live up to expectations.

"Sin City" actor Michael Madsen has featured in films, TV shows, video games and, yes, even music videos. (You didn t forget his creepy turn in Sky Ferreira's "Obsession" did you?) So should we be surprised to find that Mr. Blonde (go rent "Reservoir Dogs," kiddies -- er, if you're 18 or over, that is) has made his way into Justin Bieber's forthcoming "As Long As You Love Me" video?
More on Bing: Justin Bieber
"Should we show a minute snip of #ALAYLM short film on America's got talent this wed then release the video friday or next monday? should we," Bieber tweeted recently, before adding, "and yes Michael Madsen is in the #AsLongAsYouLoveMe short film." Suddenly JB's bloodied face in this pic from the set of "As Long As You Love Me" is starting to make sense. The clip will also star rapper Big Sean, who performed with Justin at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday.

California Supreme Court to Address Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
Category: Dispensaries | Posted on Mon, January, 28th 2013 by THCFinder
After the federal government's large-scale crackdown on medical marijuana dispensaries throughout 2011 and 2012, the California Supreme Court will now revisit the issue to determine the legality of counties banning dispensaries.
On February 5, the California Supreme Court will hear arguments regarding this issue, which the Legislature has yet to define state laws or pass beneficial regulations.
Though many cities in the state currently have operational dispensaries, several others have seen mass closures. Since no concrete regulation has been set at the state level, local governments are taking on this issue; trying to decide whether dispensaries should be allowed in their prospective counties.
If the court upholds the bans of local governments, it is extremely likely that many more will follow suit.
In San Diego, newly elected Mayor Bob Filner ordered, through a series of memos, the San Diego Police Department's "targeted code enforcement" against dispensaries be halted immediately.
Current city zoning ordinances do not allow legal areas for dispensaries. San Diego City Council, however, adopted a special "marijuana zoning ordinance," but subsequently dropped it in July 2011. Under the guidance of city attorney Jan Goldsmith, more than one hundred dispensaries were closed throughout the city.
In response to medical marijuana activists, Americans for Safe Access (ASA), Filner requested that Goldsmith not pursue remaining active cases related to this issue, which Goldsmith agreed to do. Filner, a Democrat, takes a different approach to the issue than his Republican predecessor, Jerry Sanders, who widely supported Goldsmith's "targeted action."
With the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington, nationwide discourse on the topic has leaned towards a more progressive approach. The California Supreme Court's ruling should ultimately provide a consensus on dispensaries throughout the state.

Kansas state senator introduces medical marijuana bill
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Mon, January, 28th 2013 by THCFinder
A Kansas state senator has proposed a medical marijuana bill.
Sen. David Haley, a Democrat from Kansas City, Kan., has introduced the bill, which would allow Kansas to join 18 states and the District of Columbia in allowing people to use marijuana with a doctor's order.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the measure would allow patients to have up to six ounces of marijuana and grow up to a dozen plants at home.
Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook, chairwoman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, says the measure won't get a hearing during the current legislative session.
Currently in Kansas, illegally obtaining marijuana for a health condition can mean a year in jail, and growing your own pot can mean up to 17 years in prison

I've tried Sanity and it's almost what I'm looking for, but it doesn't work right when i get to a vendor (right-clicking on a weapon or piece of armor tries to equip it instead of sell it).

U.S. Presidential Helo Delayed Again by Cost, Acquisition Concerns
The U.S. Navy's latest attempt to replace the aging Presidential helicopter fleet has been delayed. The Pentagon rejected an analysis of alternatives (AoA) for the VXX program because no "cost-effective" solution was identified, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The VXX program is a successor to the VH-71 acquisition that the DoD terminated in June 2009, after nearly $3 billion had been spent over four years to develop the Lockheed Martin Kestrel version of the AgustaWestland AW101.
In its second annual performance audit of the VXX program, the GAO notes that "finding an acceptable solution has proved elusive." According to the GAO, the AoA study team (led by the Naval Air Systems Command) evaluated 52 possible solutions, including the AgustaWestland AW101 (to be provided this time by Boeing), Bell-Boeing V-22 tiltrotor, Boeing CH-47F and Sikorsky S-92, UH-60M and CH-53K. But the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) then issued more guidance to shape a revision of the AoA that would achieve "a rational balance [among] requirements, costs and schedule," the GAO said. The AoA team will present its revised take on the options to the OSD this month.
The DoD's additional guidance "reflects an incremental approach" to achieving the capabilities sought for the VXX, according to the GAO. This entails first extending the service lives and upgrading the existing fleet of 19 Sikorsky VH-3Ds and VH-60Ns operated by Marine Helicopter Squadron One. The Navy will then define open systems architectures that can accommodate both current and future technologies. These will be integrated on "an existing, available aircraft" selected for the VXX program. New technologies will be developed and integrated as "planned product improvements."
The GAO notes that the delay in starting the VXX program "may be beneficial…if it results in developing knowledge earlier by maturing technologies outside the VXX program before integrating them into the VXX aircraft… This approach contrasts with that tried in the VH-71 program."

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
The Dream Diet: Losing Weight While You Sleep
Lose weight while you sleep. It sounds like something you'd hear on a late night infomercial -- just around the time you are reaching for that bag of cookies because, well, you can't sleep.
But as wild as the idea sounds, substantial medical evidence suggests some fascinating links between sleep and weight. Researchers say that how much you sleep and quite possibility the quality of your sleep may silently orchestrate a symphony of hormonal activity tied to your appetite.
"One of the more interesting ideas that has been smoldering and is now gaining momentum is the appreciation of the fact that sleep and sleep disruption do remarkable things to the body -- including possibly influencing our weight," says David Rapoport, MD, associate professor and director of the Sleep Medicine Program at the New York University School of Medicine in New York City.
While doctors have long known that many hormones are affected by sleep, Rapoport says it wasn't until recently that appetite entered the picture. What brought it into focus, he says, was research on the hormones leptin and ghrelin. First, doctors say that both can influence our appetite. And studies show that production of both may be influenced by how much or how little we sleep.
In fact, have you ever experienced a sleepless night followed by a day when no matter what you ate you never felt full or satisfied? If so, then you have experienced the workings of leptin and ghrelin.
How Hormones Affect Your Sleep
Leptin and ghrelin work in a kind of "checks and balances" system to control feelings of hunger and fullness, explains Michael Breus, PhD, a faculty member of the Atlanta School of Sleep Medicine and director of The Sleep Disorders Centers of Southeastern Lung Care in Atlanta. Ghrelin, which is produced in the gastrointestinal tract, stimulates appetite, while leptin, produced in fat cells, sends a signal to the brain when you are full.
So what's the connection to sleep? "When you don't get enough sleep, it drives leptin levels down, which means you don't feel as satisfied after you eat. Lack of sleep also causes ghrelin levels to rise, which means your appetite is stimulated, so you want more food," Breus tells WebMD.
The two combined, he says, can set the stage for overeating, which in turn may lead to weight gain.
Studies: Those Who Sleep Less Often Weigh More
How the hormones leptin and ghrelin set the stage for overeating was recently explored in two studies conducted at the University of Chicago in Illinois and at Stanford University in California.
In the Chicago study, doctors measured levels of leptin and ghrelin in 12 healthy men. They also noted their hunger and appetite levels. Soon after, the men were subjected to two days of sleep deprivation followed by two days of extended sleep. During this time doctors continued to monitor hormone levels, appetite, and activity.

The Al-Aqsa of Africa
Sierra Leone's Israeli-built parliament building is a symbol of the Jewish state's long-running engagement in Africa
R.L. Armstrong, Sierra Leone's director of public works, contacted the Israeli company Solel Boneh to get to the heart of the matter. The constructor forwarded the diligent bureaucrat an ambiguous reply that led him to fire off a confidential memo to his colleagues stating, "The government is now in a position where it has no control over the contractor who is in fact carrying out [a] cost-plus contract without supervision."
After eight months of bureaucratic intrigues, money squabbles, and construction circumventions, the Israeli contractors completed the assembly hall in the nick of time for the Independence Day Ceremony on April 27, 1961. On the eve of independence, the Duke of Kent gave a speech and presented a plaque at the opening ceremony of the assembly hall. The next day it rained and water leaked through the building's unfinished areas; the parliament still experiences leaks.
There was an opportunity for a proper refurbishment in 1996 when President Ahmad Tejan-Kabbah discussed completing Phase 2 of the parliament's construction. A company from Côte d'Ivoire, claiming to be subsidiary of Solel Boneh, was given a tour of the complex. But before plans could materialize, a coup d'état erupted in Sierra Leone a year later. In 2004 a Chinese company was commissioned to refurbish the parliament and repair corroded pipes. But they couldn't figure out certain aspects of the original engineering. A local supervisor assigned to monitor their work was allegedly fired after he asked too many questions. The original chairs in the assembly hall—still in excellent condition after nearly five decades—were plucked out, carted off in a truck to be sold, and shoddier replacements was brought in.

This Year's Best Solar Powered Halloween Lights
1. Frankenstein's Monster & Bride Solar Light
Monsters come in solar too. From Dept 56 the monster (not Frankenstein) and his bride, have their neon green and pink heads upon a stake. Each adorable monster stands 28.5 inches tall. The solar panels lay on top of their head so that they can turn themselves on at dusk! Want more of the Dept 56 collection? Collect the crazy Solar Powered Witch light stake as well. (Update: no longer available.)
2. Solar Melting Witch
The Solar Melting Witch is colorful bubbly statue that isn't very scary, but it is very cute. Decorated with glowing bubbles, a shiny red apple, empty shoes, and the witches unmelted hand it will be hard for visitors not to take notice of it. It is so popular it has already sold out. I can't find it anywhere else online.
3. Solar Powered Gargoyle
Gargoyles once were made to protect the roofs of castles and cathedrals. Now they're used to scare people in movies and during Halloween. This childlike gargoyle with glowing evil green eyes, fang teeth and claws stands 8 inches tall. If you're a Lord of the Rings fan it may remind you of Gollum
4. Solar Halloween Pumpkin Statue Light
Pumpkins can look scary too. This evil little pumpkin statue from Tektrum with angry eyes and grin sits on a rock with a welcome sign behind it. It weighs about 5lbs and has a separate solar panel with holder to store the power of the sun. Tektrum also carries the Solar RIP Halloween Tombstone with winged skull-head light. (Buy Solar Pumpkin here.)
5. Gargoyle On Flashlight
This 9 inch tall gargoyle statue from Oriental Trading looks a little friendlier, like a happy dog getting ready to jump on someone. The Gargoyle playfully sits on what appears to be a flashlight that lights up the night. Oriental Trading also carries the Solar Grave Ghoul with light-up lantern, which is similar to the solar corpse statue from last years list.
6. Solar Pumpkin String Light
Solar powered string lights aren't just available during Christmas anymore they're now available for Halloween too at the Global Source website. This string light is 19-1/2-feet long and has 14 super bright white LEDs. Feel free to hang it in a tree, around your patio or around your front door and just watch it light up. Look for the Skull Lawn Stake with Solar Box or the spooky Solar Big Owl Light at the Global Source website too.
7. Solar Gargoyle Dragon
This 19 pound mystical gargoyle dragon statue, sold at the Mystical Dragon truly looks mystical. The statue comes with a mystical globe that lights up at night and a dragon that protects the globe, but if you don't like dragons you may like the Keeper of the Flame also found at the Mystical Dragon website. (Buy Solar Gargoyle here.)
8. Pumpkin Solar Lawn Stake
Here is a pretty happy jack-o-lantern stake to decorate your garden. It has a gentle glow and a wire handle designed to look like a vine. By more than one and place them in flower pots within the garden to help light up your garden at night.
9. Checkers Solar Gnomes
When some people think of gnomes they have images of ugly mean gnomes statues haunting front yards everywhere, but the Checkers Solar gnomes isn't ugly or mean looking in any way. Instead this Checker Solar Gnome statue of two friendly looking gnomes playing checkers while sitting on red little mushrooms is very delightful.
10. Scarecrow on Pumpkin Solar Light
My favorite solar Halloween light for this year is the collectible Scarecrow on Pumpkin Solar Light. It's an adorable colorful scarecrow with a red handkerchief, a fun smile and a straw hat standing tall and proud behind 3 glowing pumpkins. The statue measures 12 inches high x 6 and 1/2 inches wide.
I hope you've enjoyed this years Halloween solar powered lights. Keep in mind that many of these decorative lights can be used all year round, not just only during Halloween. May your Halloween be safe, fun, and filled with solar power day and night.

Today's latest celebrity gossip has Lindsay Lohan's dad Michael continuing to alienate the women in his life. Not only was he turned away from the LA County Jail after trying to visit his incarcerated daughter, he's been charged in New York with second degree harassment.
The situation is a tossed salad of celebrity news and gossip that it would be impossible to make up.
Before leaving for LA for Lindsay's booking at the LA County Jail, Lohan and former tabloid reporter fiancee Kate Major had a big fight over the pair's upcoming television show. Major said that Lohan pushed her off a chair and kicked her in the face. Lohan said that Major was intoxicated, and blamed the fight on Rachel Uchitel and Joslyn James, two of Tiger Woods' alleged girlfriends, appearing on the upcoming TV show "Celebrity House." Small wonder Lindsay's life is so messed up.

Gordon Wittemeyer has proven he is a witless ninny
Here's the proof: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/588167,CST-SPT-cub04.article
Here's the truth: Carlos Marmol did not lose the game (although it is a little unnerving to see him poop himself in postseason action). Uncle Lou did not lose the game for taking Z out after 6 sweaty desert innings.
They lost because, last night, they couldn't hit Brandon Webb, a fairly common occurrence, especially amongst heavily right-handed teams like ours.
You don't think Lou realized this early on? Our only real shot of winning last night was for Z to throw a shutout. Once he gave up a run, and considering Z's volatile emotional state, Lou did a remarkable job of psychoanalysis.
If he yanks Z while we are behind, Z gets hung with the loss, and he spends the next week steaming over that.
If he yanks Z while we are ahead, and somehow the bullpen coughs it up, he not only spends the next week steaming over THAT, he probably beats someone up, too.
But, in a tie situation, Z can sit back, consider himself lucky, and be in the best frame of mind for his next start.
So Lou took that route, and gave Marmol a try. Now, Marmol is our most statistically spectacular reliever. But he is quite unproven in the postseason. If we just go by the numbers, we might be compelled to lean on him, to go to him in an ultimate must-win situation. But why make that assumption if you don't know how he responds to Real Playoff Pressure?
So rather than waiting until an elimination game to try him out, he breaks him in a relatively gentler fashion, a tie game in Game 1. Now, we know that Marmol has a little Cap'n Tightpants in him, at least after October 1st. So maybe we put him back in there sometime in Game 2 or 3 when we are either ahead or behind by a few, let him get his legs under him, so we can possibly count on him for a Game 4 or 5.
But maybe there isn't going to be a Game 4 or 5, Captain Slothy?? Uncle Lou threw away Game 1 by yanking Z too soon! For cripes sake, jagoffs...throw THIS away. We lost last night because our gutless lineup couldn't hit Webb. Not that its a real disgrace. He IS after all the reigning Cy Young holder. If they can get from Webb to Valvoline, whatever their closer's name is, forget it. Webb was Dealin' last night, this kind of thing will happen.
Do you really want a guy like the Dustbag, who can only think one game (hell, one minute) at a time, or do you want someone who can see the big picture? Lou knows, that if our hitters start hitting, there WILL be a Game 4, and we are actually set up better for Game 4 than if he wrung Zambrano out for every last pitch he had. He also knows what he has with Marmol, and maybe when the chests get tight and men reach for their nutsacks, maybe instead of reflexively reaching for Marmol, he insteads opts for Wood or Howry.
Let's see what we have tonight, because if the hitters don't show up tonight, it ain't gonna matter how well Marmol does under pressure. We ain't gonna have a chance to find out.
Bobbo, not sure I agree with you too much. I think there's a bit of Lou apologism going on above.
The fact is (and this is true in every game, but more apparent in playoff games) that before you bring in a player, you never know if they're going to have 'it.' Hey, look at Peavy, I would have taken Peavy to throw my season deciding game... but he didn't have 'it.'
Zambrano was clearly on last night. Removing good players who are performing well to bring in a good player who hasn't proven if he's going to pitch well that day should only be done when necessary.
It comes down to this: Z had only thrown 85 pitches. Lou looked ahead to Sunday and decided that he would chance bringing in Marmol. It backfired. It was a bad decision made for the wrong reason... and it looks even worse after letting Z bat with the bases loaded only one inning prior.
I still love me some Uncle Lou, and I agree that it wasn't his fault we lost, nor was it Marmol's... but the decision was still a poor one. I said it when Lou took him out... and I'd say it even if Marmol, Howry, and Dempster all threw scoreless innings.
This has been a message of Pestilence
I side with the Sloth
I'm afraid that I have to agree with Rob on this one. Although I honestly had a gut feeling that it would go poorly, it makes sense to me. Apart from keeping Carlos's pitch count down, our bullpen has been lights out for a long while. The only difference is that I would've gone with Woody in the 7th and I would've saved Marmol for the 8th inning. But from a purely neutral point of view, I honestly can't criticize Piniella for his decisions last night.
Well, except maybe for batting Jacque in the #2 spot. Shouldn't DeRosa be there?
No Sweat
Webb was just filthy. Still we dropped one on our opponents home field against one of the league's best. Unfortunately we couldn't hit Valverde either. Hopefully everything changes tonight against Doug Davis.
Anyway Cub fans back off the ledge. At least the Cubs weren't beaten by a series of whacky improbable events.
I wanted one more inning as
I wanted one more inning as well. Heck, it didn't have to be the entire inning either. I had a feeling that runs were going to be tough to come by. Thus, I wanted another inning just to better brace ourselves for an extra-inning game. Our bullpen is deeper than theirs and our bench is better. The longer the game went on the more I liked our chances.
Let's hope Marmol will be more relaxed next time.
I didn't have a problem with
I didn't have a problem with Lou removing Zambrano after six as much as I did with him not pinch hitting for Z with the bases loaded and two outs in the top of the sixth with the game still tied at 1. If Lou wanted to "save" him for game four then that would have been the perfect opportunity to get him out. Lou also errored by not having Z bunt Theriot over in the fifth when he lead off by reaching second on an error. If Z gets that bunt down then Theriot scores of Soriano's fly out after that putting the Cubs up 2-1.
Pulling Z
Well said. Short rest after an efficent outing is coming and there's no reason the Cubs bullpen couldn't have hung right in there.
Get 'em tonight...the bats have to feel like it's still September when anything that could be hit, was hit. Can we channel some Jobu in here?
A side note....
Can these TBS announcers be the biggest hacks ever? I like Dick Stockton. He's called a few decent football games but he's got to be the worst baseball play by play guy I've heard in ages. Ron Darling was average at best. Minimal incite and very boring.
And just on the Cubs, how many names did they butcher?
Zambrano = Zembr-ANN-o
Quade = Quaid, didn't realize he was one of the Quaid brothers
Marmol = Mar-MOLE
I want Stoney!!!
They were killing me -- and I like Stockton. As for Darling, he was such a bad color guy that the Nats fired him after last season. I can't understand how the Mets hired him.
I'm with you on this one.
Everyone who has decided to second-guess piniella can eat the peanuts out of my shit.
He's gotten us this far, he knows what he's doing. If Z had given up the HR the same dickweeds would have been screaming that he left Z in too long.
Every writer I trust...
..sides with me on this issue. Marriotti, of course, is against me. So I have that going for me. Which is nice.
