From the Texas Leadership Coalition
May 13, 2014: Feast of Our Lady of Fatima
San Antonio Express News
columnist, O. Ricardo Pimentel, published an article in March drawing attention to recent polls and surveys in the U.S. which indicate more Catholics are rejecting the Church's teachings on abortion and carnal relations between members of the same sex. Mr. Pimentel often hurls barbs at the Church. We are dismayed that the Express News does not often print our rebuttals.
Repetitive and monotonous when he writes on the subject of religion, Mr. Pimentel appears to support these secular trends questioning whether "an institution (the Roman Catholic Church) that is not deemed relevant on key doctrinal issues even by its adherents.... can persevere."
He must not know Church history, especially the terrible time during the Arian heresy in the 4th century when 80% of the Catholic faithful (clergy and lay) fell from grace, denying the divinity of Christ. These modern day heresies which attack the absolute doctrines of the Church on sexual ethics, especially regarding the intrinsic evil of abortion and homosexual relations, are as troubling and as serious as the ancient heresies, but we know for sure as believers that the gates of hell will never prevail against the Church as promised by our Holy Redeemer (Mt. 16:18), in spite of Mr. Pimentel's preference.
Pimentel cherry picks statistics from the studies he gleefully quotes regarding the numbers of Catholics who are rejecting church teachings on sexual ethics. Those survey respondents who identify themselves as Catholics but do not practice and hold to the teachings of the Church are not faithful members. Many are obstinately reveling in their error or ignorance and are prodigal sons and daughters. We hope they all come back into the fold, including Mr. Pimentel.
A national polling organization, the Pew Research Center, reported last year when Pope Francis was elected to succeed St. Peter, that nearly two-thirds (63%) of the Catholics surveyed wanted "the next pope to maintain the church's traditional positions". A Marist College Survey last year commissioned by the Knights of Columbus found that most Americans (83%) believe abortion should be significantly restricted.
Unfortunately American Catholics are divided along demographic lines (age, race, sex, education) in their opinions about the morality of abortion and homosexual relations, but, what should be considered is whether these self-identified Catholic respondents are really practicing their faith or are merely uncatechized "cultural" Catholics.
The teaching authority (magisterium) of the Church rests with our Holy Father, the Vicar of Christ, who exercises this authority with the bishops united with him, not with individual Catholics who pick and choose what doctrines to follow or discard. This is what Pope Francis said to a gathering of gynecologists last September:
"Every unborn child, though unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of the Lord, who even before his birth, and then as soon as he was born, experienced the rejection of the world," he said. "And every old person, even if infirm and at the end of his days, carries with him the face of Christ. They must not be thrown away!"
This past April in Rome, Pope Francis spoke to 45,000 pilgrims in St. Peter's Square and had this to say about the sacrament of Holy Matrimony: ""When a man and a woman celebrate the sacrament of marriage, God is reflected in them. As 'one flesh', they become living icons of God's love in our world, building up the Church in unity and fidelity."
Mr. Frank Farias, a former Grand Knight and long time member of a local Knights of Columbus council responded to Mr. Pimentel directly. It should interest you. His commentary is printed in its entirety below.
Dear Mr. Pimentel,
I am replying to your article on Sunday, March 9,2014, entitled, "Survey confirms schism in dogma and belief." You are writing in reference to what some Catholics want from the Catholic Church. Basically, that the Church become more relevant in social justice and to embrace fairness and equity. Fairness and equity for what? Sin? Is that what you are implying in your article? That will never happen because that would go one hundred percent against the teachings of Jesus Christ. Not to mention, natural law where it applies.
Pope Francis is emphasizing more of the Good News to be taught as it is found in the Gospels. He even advocates a smaller, purer Church. However, I am not writing you to quote Pope Francis, even though he is very much orthodox when it comes to Church teaching. I am writing about what you call a schism.
One must not interpret the will of the majority, or minority in this case, as the Will of God. This misinterpretation is what Catholics are doing when they want "gay" marriage, female priests, and the acceptance of contraception and abortion by the Catholic Church. What these Catholics are hoping for comes under the term of moral relativism, not nullification. Yes, it is relativism. When people say, " That's what you believe, but not me," it is relativism. Pope Benedict, when he was Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, stated, "We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires." Do you see the danger in this? When one denies one's actions as not being a sin when it is, is relativism. The same when one is against dogma and doctrine; not because the Church teaches it, but because it is a teaching of Jesus Christ who is God.
Jesus Christ explains it well in Matthew 16 when he rebuked Peter and told him, "Get behind me Satan. You are not thinking like God but as a human being." Here lies the answer for those Catholics wandering in their own relativism. This relativism is the single biggest reason for the moral decay in America.
Here is what I have to say to all those Catholics wanting acceptance of "gay" marriage, female priests, contraception, and abortion. They can have all of these things in the American Episcopal Church, and other churches, so why don't they go over there? Do you know why they do not leave? They do not leave because they know that the Catholic Church is right. What they want is for the Catholic Church to approve of their sin or belief, whichever applies. For the Catholic Church to accept dogma or beliefs contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ will never happen. YES, THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
So, let me say to all those Catholics condoning schism in dogma and beliefs. They need to pour themselves into the Gospels and to take on the "mind of Christ." If they do not want to do this, then I suggest they go where they will be happier.
In closing, of course we do not condemn those persons who think like this. We love all of our Catholic brothers. To quote Jesus Christ in John 8:11, when the accusers wanted to stone the adulteress, after the accusers dispersed, Christ asked, "Who is here to condemn you?" She replied, "No one". Jesus then replied, "Neither do I condemn you. GO AND SIN NO MORE." This is the message for all Catholics to whom it applies.
Frank X. Farias

EDGEWATER -- Police Chief Dave Arcieri is back at work after spending more than a month on paid administrative leave.
Chief Arcieri was relieved of his duties in early January after a police officer said he had withheld information in a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation. The probe came about when officers claimed they completed college course work for the chief.
That investigation was closed a year ago when allegations weren't substantiated, according to City Manager Tracey Barlow.
The FDLE has completed interviews in the current investigation and, according to Chief Arcieri's attorney, Michael Politis, the FDLE findings have been turned over to the States Attorney's office.
The State Attorney will make a decision whether to file criminal charges or report "no information for lack of evidence," Mr. Politis said Monday.
"I feel confident that the State Attorney is not going to come back with any charges," Mr. Politis said.
Mr. Barlow said he recommended Chief Arcieri return to work even though the investigation wasn't concluded because the interviews were finished.
Mr. Barlow said the purpose of the administrative leave was so the FDLE could conduct interviews without any interference or anyone alleging influence by the chief.
"It was the only way to keep credibility of the whole investigation, he said. "The chief didn't even know the allegations until the FDLE interviewed him."
"I had to protect the integrity of the police department," Mr. Barlow said.
Officer Chad Anderson who brought up the recent allegations resigned even before the investigation was completed and did not give a reason, he said.
Mr. Politis said Chief Arcieri was cooperative with the investigation.
"He wanted to clear up the cloud," Mr. Politis said. "What the city manager did was prudent and now he wants the chief back and working."
"My job is done," Mr. Politis said. "Based on my knowledge, there was much ado about nothing."
Retired Police Chief Richard Overman filled in as acting administrator during the absence of Chief Arcieri.
Chief Overman is a 32-year veteran of law enforcement and retired after serving his last 10 years as police chief of Delray Beach.

Finest bare-it-all beaches
The best stretches of sand in the world for the perfect all-body tan
Nude bathing has come a long way. No longer the domain of an exclusive clique, many people are now turning to skinny dipping to add a fresh experience to their beach holiday - even if they wouldn't necessarily classify themselves as naturists.
In the 1970s, for example, Spain didn't allow any beach nudity. Now it is so commonplace you only have to find a quiet bit of coast and there will probably be bare bodies happily enjoying the sea and sun. Even some busy cities such as Barcelona regard beach nudity as little more than a personal preference - and certainly no longer a public nuisance.
"I've been struck by how much beaches are shared these days, with both naked and clothed holidaymakers alike unconcerned about the need for segregated facilities," explains Nick Mayhew-Smith, publisher of The World's Best Nude Beaches and Resorts. "Nudity is just an alternative form of swimwear to many people, and I think both those who bare and those who cover up realize there are more important things to worry about in life."
From exotic island beaches to local stretches of sand, we have them all covered. So slip on your birthday suit, haul out the sunscreen and click on through for the best beaches in the world to get that perfect all-body tan.

TEAMS: New Orleans Saints
The ensuing 'Bounty Gate' scandal took the New Orleans Saints organization by storm and turned an inspirational franchise into a nightmare. Everyone already knows the casualties of the scandal included Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma. When the NFL handed down his season-long suspension this past offseason, it was a punishment based on symbolism. If the accusations were true, then every player on the Saints would have known or been involved in the scandal, but the league didn't believe the public could accept punishments against everyone on the Saints organization. On 9/7/12, a Federal Court appeals panel overturned the suspensions of Jonathan Vilma, Will Smith, Scott Fujita and Anthony Hargrove. However, there is no victory for Jonathan Vilma, whose career is hanging on threads .… Read more

There's a fact of life that's just the hardest thing to absorb and realize in full. It seems to go against all we've been taught.
From the beginning, our elders want us to work towards success and fulfillment. Our parents and teachers promise that if we work hard, we will achieve our goals.
This is all well and good, but what they don't tell us is that achieving your goals does not mean resting on your laurels.
That's the hard fact I'm talking about. As human beings, we are not really capable of being satisfied. The fact is that as soon as you get what you wish for, you start wishing for something else. No one is ever rich enough, or loved enough, or powerful enough.
Oh, you may think you're content. You may live in relative peace, enjoy your work, love the people around you. You may feel self-confident, proud of your accomplishments, secure in your everyday existence.
But every time, as soon as you relax, as soon as you think you no longer need to strive or hope or change, you will be hit upside the head with some new challenge to your peace of mind. It's a law of nature, and no one is immune.
Contrary to all those well-meaning but incomplete teachings from people who raised us, the most important thing for us to learn and know in the bottom of our souls is that change is constant, inevitable, and not to be feared.
This is especially hard to take when the need for change suddenly materializes even though you thought everything was going along just fine. The moment you think you have things figured out is the moment to sharpen your awareness, because the jolt is coming.
Journaling can help with this difficult life lesson in a couple of ways.
First, spend some journaling sessions on your typical response to the reality of change.
And you can, of course, lean on your journal to help you navigate any current changes that are happening in your life.
Are you done with fear and failure? Are you ready to become all you can be? Use the 53 Weekly Writing Retreats Therapeutic Journaling Book and discover your own special awesomeness.

However, Hal's task becomes personal as he and Morgan fall in love. Now, to save Morgan and give himself the happily ever after he's always longed for, Hal will need to do something far more daunting than face Morgan's captor or finally come out of the closet…
He'll have to believe in himself.

" Toshiba RD XS25 - DVD recorder / HDD recorder "
I bought this DVD recorder about a year ago and so far it has working pretty well. It's easy to install and setup and works well with a set top box.
The main advantage is the hard disk drive where all the video recordings could be stored until you watched them or burned them to a DVD. This was hugely appealing as it negated the need to buy DVDs to use for everyday recording.
I use it to record tv programmes while i'm out. It is able to record to the HDD or to a DVD R/RW. Overall recording and playback quality is good although it doesn't have a built in tuner so it's not possible to record one channel and watch another.
It comes with a 160gb HDD so it has plenty of storage for everyday use but isn't designed for long term storage.
Burning (or dubbing) to a DVD from the HDD is fairly quick if you have recorded in LP format but very slow if you have used SP.
Overall till I get Sky + this is a good recorder and still meets my everyday needs
Reliability. Performance. Technology. Leadership. The Toshiba name means all this and more. Toshiba builds upon this heritage by delivering the industry's most innovative, high-quality solutions.
Multi - drive HDD/DVD-R/DVD-RW recording;
160 GB Hard Disk Drive;

Study: Competitor keyword purchasing can backfireJuly 14, 2014 1:06 pm | News | Comments
Firms buy specific keywords, including competitors' brand names, on search engines such as Google or Bing to reach consumers searching for those words. Online advertisements employing such keywords are called search ads. This practice can backfire, however. A new study shows that any large difference in reputation between the two brand names is further magnified in the minds of consumers.
Flower development in 3-D: Timing is the keyJuly 14, 2014 11:48 am | News | Comments
Developmental processes in all living organisms are controlled by genes. At the same time there is a continuous metabolism taking place. Recent research in Austria has analyzed this interaction in flowering plants. For the first time, changes in metabolism were linked to 3-D morphometric data using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) for the first time.
World's first photonic router demonstratedJuly 14, 2014 11:16 am | News | Comments
Scientists in Israel have recently constructed, for the first time, a photonic router that enables routing of single photons by single photons. At the core of the device is an atom that can switch between two states. The state is set just by sending a single particle of light, or photon, from the right or the left via an optical fiber. The innovation could help overcome difficulties in building quantum computers.
Researchers invent nanotech microchip to diagnose type-1 diabetesJuly 14, 2014 9:22 am | News | Comments
A cheap, portable, microchip-based test for diagnosing type-1 diabetes could speed up diagnosis and enable studies of how the disease develops. Handheld microchips distinguish between the two main forms of diabetes mellitus, which are both characterized by high blood-sugar levels but have different causes. Until now, making the distinction has required a slow, expensive test available only in sophisticated healthcare settings.

Milwaukee Ballet returns to pirouette at OAC
Director, Michael Pink, presents 'Beyond Boundaries'
The Milwaukee Ballet Company will make another rare visit outside of its downtown home, returning to the Oconomowoc Arts Center main stage with a mixed repertory program featuring the best of the ballet's classical and contemporary repertoire. Celebrating artistic director
Michael Pink's 10th anniversary season, audiences can expect to see a world-class company that has grown under Pink's visionary leadership.
Pink, the internationally acclaimed classical dancer, choreographer and teacher has worked tirelessly in his commitment to the future of dance through new works, education and community outreach.
"Milwaukee Ballet is the only professional ballet company in Wisconsin, and we know there are so many who live outside of the Milwaukee community who can't make it into the city to see our performances. We needed to develop a program where we could pack up our company and travel to them," explained Pink.
This is the second year that Pink is fulfilling his goal of taking the ballet's magic on the road and he believes the OAC is a perfect venue.
"We are delighted to return to Oconomowoc. The OAC is a fabulous facility and offers such a great space," said Pink. "The company was received so well last year, we were encouraged to return with something new."
For more than 40 years, Milwaukee Ballet has been revered for its ability to express powerful emotions and storytelling by weaving together the intricate dynamics of dance, music and theater. Its resident company includes 25 professional dancers along with 18 trainees in its Nancy Einhorn Milwaukee Ballet II program.
Milwaukee Ballet Company's internationally acclaimed artistic director, Pink, promises to push the boundaries of dance and theater through a thrilling combination of athleticism, classical ballet and contemporary dance in this once-in-a-lifetime performance, Beyond Boundaries. As a special treat, the winner of Genesis: International Choreographic Competition will present an encore of their piece.
Special VIP Package
For the first time, a special VIP Package will be available. The package includes premium seating, a ticket to the post-show reception, meet and greet with the company dancers and a Milwaukee Ballet T-shirt. Cost: $38 adults, $34 seniors and college student and $20 students. Package can only be purchased through the box office in person or by phone.
OAC Community
Partner Initiative
In 2013, the Oconomowoc Arts Center will continue its Community Partner Initiative Program and partner with local nonprofit and service organizations as a way to give back to the community. From every ticket sold, $2 will be donated to the organization designated for that
particular show. For the Milwaukee Ballet, Shorehaven is the featured nonprofit.
Milwaukee Ballet's performance of Beyond Boundaries is at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 16. Reserved regular seat tickets are $28 adults, $24 seniors and college students and $8 students. VIP Package tickets are $38 adults, $34 seniors and college students and $20 students.
Service fees apply to online, telephone orders, and day of show walk-ups. The OAC is at 641 E. Forest St., and is part of the Oconomowoc High School campus. To purchase tickets, call the OAC Box Office at (262) 560-3172 or visit the website at www.theoac.net.

Oh, lard.
Much maligned, it truly is a great ingredient in the kitchen. Delicious and easy to prepare on your own, it rarely gets any love. Well, until you make lardy cake.
If you have any excess pork fat, cut it up, toss into a saucepan with a splash of water, and render it like it owes you money. Put the heat on medium low and check on it periodically. Eventually the fat will entirely render, with the added benefit of leaving behind what Newfoundlanders will know as scrunchions, which is essentially "mysterious, otherwise inedible but wonderfully delicious fried pork bits". If you do it low and slow (like you should) it can take as long as three hours, but it's worth it.
Pour through a sieve into a container, and put into the fridge. Put the scrunchions on paper towel with some salt. They're awesome with beer. Obviously.
The National Trust Pork Pie!
Firstly, we should apologize for the extended absence. There have been a number of significant life changes - new jobs, apartments, etc., so we've been pretty distracted. With that said, we're now settling in and renewing our focus. So, without further ado…
It's that time of year where gluttonous excess is not only acceptable, but almost encouraged. It's where diets go to die until being resurrected as New Year's resolutions. This year we were not responsible for the full family turkey dinner, but instead did a Christmas Eve lunch. Nevertheless, we decided to go all-in with caloric excess, with a pork pie and, as an accompaniment to tea, lardy cake (which is, as the name suggests, cooked with lard, and will be dealt with in a different post). Both recipes are from the National Trust Complete Traditional Recipe Book. For those of us of British isles extraction, this is pretty much required reading from front to back.
The pork pie is rather involved, with three distinct elements - the stock, the filling, and the pastry. For vegans, the calorie conscious, and the faint of heart, look away now.
For the stock, you will need:
2 pig's trotters (or bones, skin, and trimmings) [we couldn't get pig's trotters, so instead used a wild boar shin and trotter. Avoid our mistake - get it cut up to fit your pot]
1 bay leaf
2 or 3 thyme sprigs
4 peppercorns
1 onion studded with cloves
3 litres of water
This is pretty easy, but time consuming. Stick all of the ingredients in a pot, bring to the boil, and skim. Simmer (covered) for about three hours. Strain into a clean pot, discard what is by now an unrecognizable piece of meat and other bits, and boil uncovered until reduced to about 500 ml. Put aside.
Now for the crust.
450 g (1 lb) of flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
150 ml of water
50 g (2 oz) lard (!)
50 g (2 oz) butter (!!)
25 g (1 oz) suet (!!!) [p.s. for those who might not know, suet is beef fat]
1 beaten egg
Put the flour into a bowl, adding the salt. Put the water and fats into a pan, heating until it comes to a boil and all the fats have melted and your arteries have clogged just looking at it. Remove from the heat and, using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture into the flour. As the mixture cools, use your hands to knead (I reject your moisturize and substitute animal fats!). Make sure it's all incorporated and then cover the bowl before leaving out in a warm place.
Now for the filling.
1 kg (2 1/4 lbs) of pork - a quarter fatty and the remaining three quarters lean.
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon anchovy "essence" [this is mystifying - nobody we went to seemed to know what the hell this is, so we ended up using anchovy paste, which seemed to do just fine]
6-8 sages leaves, chopped
Pepper to taste
Cut a quarter of the leanest pork into 1 cm cubes [this gets confusing, given that the lean is supposed to be 3/4 of a kg of pork, and then you're supposed to take a quarter of that to cube - which is 187.5 g - and it's all just a big headache. We took about a quarter of the whole amount, and it was fine]. Take the rest of the meat and mince it coarsely. Don't put through a meat grinder - it'll make the end result less appealing and marbled. Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
By now the crust should have cooled adequately for the next step, which is raising it in the pan.
Using an 8" springform pan (this is important, otherwise your presentation, not to mention the practicalities of cutting it, is shot), take 3/4 of the pastry and put it in the pan. Using your fingers, work it over the bottom and up the sides of the tin until you have a bit of overhang at the top. If the dough is flopping down, it's too warm.
Once it is raised, pack the meat into it tightly. Roll out the remaining quarter of pastry into a round for the lid, brushing the edges with the beaten egg. Trim the excess pastry and crimp the edges. Make a small hole in the middle of the pie and cover it with a pastry rose. Brush the crust with the egg.
Bake at 400 F for 30 minutes, then lower to 325 for another 90 minutes. If gravy is bubbling out, all the better!
After taking the pie out, let it sit for 20 minutes. Remove the rose from the centre, and pour the stock into the hole (if it has set, simply bring back to the boil before using) until it completely fills the pie. If you have too much, all the better to enrich a later stock. Replace the rose and cool the pie for at least 24 hours to let the gelatin set.
Ta-da! When serving, spring the pan, cut into slices and serve cold with some mustard and a salad.
We happened to stumble upon these unusual scallops in the shell in Hooked a few weeks ago and damn if they aren't fantastic. Unlike 99.9% of the scallops that you find in North American stores, these are not cleaned up so you just buy the muscle. Instead, they're fully intact and in their beautiful shells.
How are they prepared? It couldn't be easier. Get your BBQ (or oven or stove-top pan) very hot, plop the scallops on it, and eat as they open. You'll know when they're open, since they snap open with impressive speed when they're ready. You could squeeze some lemon over them or top with some Sriracha, but we like 'em simple - we eat them right at the grill as they open. Fantastic!
True or False: Meat needs to be super fresh to taste good!
These beautiful steaks from the Meat Department at Broadview and Danforth (read a review here) are out of this world! Stop by for a beer at their VIP lounge and ask about what other awesomeness is available at the store.

Bristol Rovers assistant manager Shaun North will be leaving the Memorial Ground, the club have announced.
The former Torquay man has been told that his contract will not be renewed and he can depart the League Two side with immediate effect.
Manager John Ward would like to bring in a new face to fill the role, held by North since 2011 when he assisted Paul Buckle, before the start of pre-season training.
"I would like to thank Shaun for his help and support over the last four months," Ward told the club's official website.
"However, I felt the club need to go in a different direction off the pitch, and I am hoping to introduce a new face for the start of pre season."
Rovers coach Marcus Stewart will step up to take on the assistant manager's job for Saturday's trip to Torquay.

Now that school is out, summer camps are kicking off.
But many of those camps don't need a license to operate, which means they aren't required to do background checks.
Day camps are exempt from being licensed because they operate as a recreational program for fewer than four consecutive months.
"Background checks are not a requirement, same with any program that you're doing for your child. So it's something that you need to check on yourself," said Shana Kriewall, Greenville Parks and Rec Superintendent.
Some camps choose to be licensed so they are able to access funding through the subsidized child care program. But Greenville Parks and Rec Superintendent, Shana Kriewall, says just because camps aren't required to have a license, doesn't mean they don't take the proper safety tips.
Choosing a program through a Recreation and Parks department, or a well-known organization can be your best bet.
"We do background checks on all staff and volunteers. In fact, that's a national "Boys and Girls Clubs of America" requirement. In order for us to keep our charter as a boys and girls club it's mandatory to conduct those checks. Absolutely. We re-screen every year, all of our current employees," said Pitt County Boys and Girls club executive director, Misty Marston.
Before you choose a camp, come ready with questions.
1. What is the counselor-to-child ratio?
2. Do they perform background checks?
3. What safety training does staff receive?
4. Is there a crisis management plan in place?
"If you don't trust maybe the person you're talking to, you can definitely go above them and check and ask for proof," said Kriewall.
That one question this summer can ensure your child is happy, healthy and safe.

At this point you are either stubborn or a troll. I hope you are a troll. An authenticator is inconvenient but so is waiting a week for a guild bank to get restored or your guild waiting for you (let's say you are their 10th member of their ten man raid) to get your character restored after a hacker deletes your toon (their new favorite thing). If this is a deal breaker for you, start your own guild with no authenticator requirement for like minded people. Beware, after you get your bank hacked a few times you'll be hurting for members.

All Systems Go for Yo
All Systems Go for Yo
By Mike Hoblitzell
At age 24, Yovani Gallardo has been cast into the role as "ace" of the Brewers starting rotation, and on Monday, Gallardo will follow in the footsteps of Teddy Higuera and become the second Mexican-born pitcher to start Opening Day for the Brewers.
With Gallardo's sky-high potential, the Brewers as well as the fans are looking for him to be a leader on the pitching staff, Brewers general manager Doug Melvin says Gallardo has the confidence to take it to the next level.
"Yeah he (Gallardo) thinks he does, and we do too, his stuff's good enough to do that," Melvin said.
In 2009, Gallardo posted a 13-12 record, 3.73 ERA, and notched 204 strikeouts. When asked if being the ace of the Brewers starting rotation is something that he wanted, Gallardo was very enthusiastic.
"Of course, I mean who wouldn't, I'm up for it. It's one of those things that every starting pitcher would like to accomplish at some
time in their career," Gallardo said.
Opening Day in Milwaukee has always been somewhat of a spectacle, and it has been especially hyped up the last few seasons due to the team's success. With all of the hype surrounding this Opening Day and season, Gallardo knows it is an important game but does not feel any extra pressure making this start.
"I don't look at it as pressure, I look at it as a privilege to me," Gallardo said.
Although he is remaining cool about making his first Opening Day start, Gallardo is aware that the atmosphere in Miller Park will certainly be electric.
"It's going to be kind of crazy, (but) you still have to go out there and do your job," Gallardo said.
The Brewers have made some dramatic moves regarding their pitching this year, starting at the top. Rick Peterson was hired as the new pitching coach, replacing Bill Castro. Peterson has previously worked with manager Ken Macha in Oakland and bench coach Willie Randolph in New York, and is considered to be one of baseball's top pitching minds. Gallardo is benefiting from Peterson's tutelage.
"I think he's (Peterson) got a lot of good points, he's really into the mechanics, the little things (like) making it easier to get the ball down," Gallardo said.
Peterson is Gallardo's third pitching coach since he has been in the major leagues, (the first two being Mike Maddux and Bill Castro), but Gallardo has not struggled adjusting to Peterson's system.
"I think he's done great, I've had no problems with him, (Peterson)" Gallardo said.
The other moves that the Brewers made with their pitching staff this year were adding veteran hurlers Randy Wolf and Doug Davis to the starting rotation. Wolf went 11-7 with a 3.23 ERA last season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, making a career-high 34 starts. Davis is making his return to the Brewers after spending the last few seasons with Arizona. Gallardo is pleased with the addition of two established starters to the roster.
"They've (Davis, Wolf) had great success in the major leagues," Gallardo said.
The Brewers felt that they needed to add extra arms to the team after injuries decimated the starting rotation in 2009.
"We had two key injuries in Soup (Jeff Suppan) and (Dave) Bush, we had no depth," Gallardo said.
Coming into the 2010 season, Gallardo is looking on improving his numbers, especially when it comes to his pitch count and walking fewer batters.
"It comes down to making little adjustments in my mechanics; I had a bunch of walks. You can always get better, I think I will be able to do that," Gallardo said.
When the Brewers take on the Colorado Rockies Monday, they will feature a lot of their young, home-grown talent such as Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, Rickie Weeks, Corey Hart, and Alcides Escobar. Gallardo likes the chemistry of this Brewers team.
"It's great, I think we get along really well. We have a bunch of guys here that are going to play hard. We're still young, but we know what to do in the right situations," Gallardo said.
Despite all of the hoopla and fuss surrounding Opening Day, Gallardo is focused on taking the hill for the Crew and getting a win.
"I'm very excited, I can't wait," Gallardo said.
