Payday in hookers flat-share!
Parties, hot gear, wild sex orgies and always short of money, very cool is my life in our Uni-hookers FS, only when the renter knocks on the door personally to demand his money, it starts beeing complicated. But we know to deal with him quite well now, panties down, put out our asses and have the whole thing off the cards for another awesome month :D

Far from being a harbinger of doom, the trend has the potential to elevate cash flow for landlords in four key ways, say experts.
Cindy Wennerstrom, president and CEO of Toronto-based Oro Properties, has been helping investors through the property purchasing process since 2009, and by her own admission, if this becomes a strong trend, landlords will be in a very good position. Here are Wennerstrom's three ways that landlords stand to benefit from tenants who choose to move out after five years. CREW Online has added a fourth, to even it out.
"Most landlords feel that having longer-term tenants is good for them," Wennerstrom explains. "However, tenants that turn over every five years or less is, in my opinion, better for a landlord. It allows them to ensure their properties are kept up to date and in good shape."
2. Raises the roof on rent
"When a tenant remains in the home, all you can increase the rent to is the government standard," Wennerstrom advises. "When a tenant moves out, you can lift the rent to whatever you like thereby instantly increasing your cash flow."
3. Beefs up property value
"It is so important to remember that cash flow is king in the investing world," Wennerstrom says. "The higher your rent and ultimate cash flow, the higher your potential sales price if you ever desire to sell."
4. Shares and shares alike
More and more urban renters are renovating and upgrading units at their own expense and even before they move in, say other seasoned investors. It's a way of elevating their surroundings to their "designer" tastes. The new five-year itch means landlords benefit from that elbow grease sooner and when those renovations are newer and in better nick.
Looking ahead
"The five-year itch is quite possibly a new phenomenon now that housing affordability has allowed home ownership to begin sooner," Wennerstrom says of the new trend. "Gone are the days of your children living with you until they marry. Now they live in the downtown core in a cushy condo which goes up in value year over year but has zero possibility to expand in size. They sell, and trade up to the next entry-level home... a townhouse or semi-detached home perhaps with an in-law suite for the nanny or some extra income to help cover their new mortgage."

The return of star TE Rob Gronkowski is just what the doctor ordered for the New England Patriots, and the Patriots are finally set to have Gronkowski back for this week's huge battle against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are 5-0, so the Patriots will need to take advantage of the Saints secondary; they will need to be able to keep up with Drew Brees and his ridiculous load of offensive weapons.
Rob Gronkowski has been ready to play for a few weeks now, but both Gronk and the Patriots want him to return only when he is absolutely, 100% healthy. Like, as healthy as possible. The Patriots don't want a repeat of what happened last year, and they know they need Rob Gronkowski back for the stretch of the season and the postseason. Health is paramount for Gronkowski, and he certainly knows it as well.
Gronk could have possibly played in last week's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but his revised target date (with the knowledge that the Patriots and Gronkowski want as much rest as possible for the star tight end) was set as Week 6. Pro Football Talk reports, citing a league source, that Rob Gronkowski is expected to receive medical clearance this week and will "likely" play against the Saints in Sunday's big matchup. This is great news for Patriots fans and Gronkowski fantasy owners, but nothing is set in stone.
I highly doubt that Gronk is out on Sunday, though, because the Patriots know they need him in order to defeat the Saints. He also seems ready to play, and the Patriots will want him to return before Week 7, which was the PUP activation date. Even so, being able to have him practice and monitor his status closely (as well as forcing opponents to gameplan for Gronk) made the move to keep him on the 53-man roster worth it.

What to Expect When You're Expecting a Royal
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's little one is sure to have a childhood unlike any other. Here are some of MC's predictions for the life of the tiny royal. Want to relive Prince William's royal childhood? Check out our lookback at the new father's own history.
By Diana Pearl
Life in the Limelight
When you're royal, you've got to give the people what they want. And what the people (especially the paparazzi) want is photos of the royal baby. Will and Harry had plenty at Kensington Palace, and it can be assumed that the public will get a few glimpses of the little royal as well. After the paparazzi frenzy of Diana, however, they may be fewer in number than in years past, but family portraits will surely be made available to the public following the birth.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2013 Chevrolet Suburban 2500
By KBB.com Editors
High gas prices are the talk of the day, leading many car buyers to focus on smaller, more efficient models. For some people, however, bigger isn't necessarily better, but it is necessary. Especially well-suited for large families and those who tow a camper, boat or horse trailer, the 2011 Chevrolet Suburban is a completely modernized version of a genuine workhorse. It's available in light-duty 1500 and heavy-duty, three-quarter-ton 2500 guises and three trim levels: the base LS, the mid-level LT and the upscale LTZ. Inside its cavernous confines is seating for up to nine occupants, cargo space that maxes out at 137.4 cubic feet, and all of the available luxuries and amenities required by families, contractors, and others.
If you need the towing capacity of a full-size pickup truck coupled with the capability to seat nine people or fill an expansive dry and secure cargo area, the 2011 Chevy Suburban (and similar GMC Yukon XL) is arguably your best choice.
It takes a lot of fuel to haul this much mass up and down the road. With prices at the pump continuing to trend upward, buyers should ask themselves if they need the Suburban's space and utility enough to justify the expense.
Chevy has treated its largest SUV to a few tweaks this year, including the availability of new exterior colors, a new 20-inch chrome wheel option and a towing package that now includes an integrated trailer brake controller.
Driving Impressions Despite being an extremely large SUV built on a truck frame and designed to pull or carry heavy loads, the 2011 Chevrolet Suburban delivers suitable comfortable ride around town and...on the highway. Occupants will certainly feel the bumps, but the suspension does an admirable job of absorbing them. All models benefit from capable V8 engines and a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission, though more powertrain noise makes its way to the cabin than drivers may prefer.
Active Fuel Management Technology
This technology is also known as cylinder deactivation. In light load situations, such as cruising on a flat highway, power is cut from eight to four cylinders in an effort to conserve fuel. As soon as more power is needed, all eight cylinders are automatically put back to work.
Power-Operated Running Boards
The available power-operated running boards, which pop out when a door is opened and retreat when closed, are of considerable help for passengers who find getting into and out of the Suburban to be difficult.
Inside the 2011 Suburban is a cabin that includes seating for up to nine passengers, with standard front buckets that can be replaced by a split three-passenger bench seat. The third-row bench is easily accessed courtesy of an available second-row fold-and-tumble feature. That third row is, however, a bit old school in that it cannot be completely folded into the floor; it must be removed if you wish to maximize cargo space. Interior materials are acceptable, if not high-end, and the overall appearance is stylish yet understated. Storage is plentiful, with generous armrest storage and multiple pockets and cupholders.Exterior
When it comes to vehicles you can buy off your local dealer's lot, there's not much capable of casting a shadow over the 2011 Chevrolet Suburban. It's a full-size SUV, indeed. Modern styling shared with the Chevy Tahoe and Avalanche models allows the body-on-frame rig to appear big, yet refined at the same time. That's due in part to restrained hood and fender bulges as well as precision body gaps that were introduced with the Suburban's last redesign. The whole package rolls on 17-inch wheels, which can be replaced by new-for-2011, dealer-installed, chrome 20-inchers.
Chevrolet offers its 2011 Suburban 1500 in three flavors: LS, LT and LTZ, while the Suburban 2500 comes in just LS and LT. Shoppers considering the LS will discover a list of standard features that includes USB and auxiliary input jacks, Bluetooth connectivity, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, and complimentary access to satellite radio service and OnStar's Turn-by-Turn navigation tool. The LT adds upgrades such as leather upholstery, triple-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable pedals, and a remote-start system, while the LTZ packs on second-row bucket seats and a rearview camera.
There's no shortage of optional equipment available for the Suburban, as Chevy offers the 2011 model with a variety of stand-alone features and equipment packages. The list includes a power sunroof, power-retractable running boards, a remote-controlled rear DVD unit with wireless headphones, a blind-spot system and dealer-installed chrome wheels measuring up to 22 inches. For a more aggressive look and added capability, the Z71 Off-Road Package fits the Suburban with off-road tires and suspension components, skid plates, an automatic locking rear differential and a chrome grille.
Chevrolet equips its 2011 Suburban 1500 with a 5.3-liter V8 that delivers 320 horsepower when running on gasoline, or 326 horses if the fuel tank is filled with E85 (a mixture of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gas). The heavy duty Suburban 2500 packs a bigger punch with its 352-horsepower 6.0-liter V8. Both engines feature Chevy's Active Fuel Management system, which cuts power from eight to four cylinders under light load situations. This technology, along with a standard six-speed automatic transmission, serves to improve the efficiency of Chevrolet's heavy-hauling SUV.
5.3-liter V8 FlexFuel
320 horsepower @ 5400 rpm (gasoline)
326 horsepower @ 5300 (E85)
335 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4000 rpm (gasoline)

"I love the style. I like it better than the 2015's. The only thing I would like to see is the availability to have the power running boards close when vehicle is put in drive instead of when the door closes. If you are in and out of the back seats (e.g. loading kids) the power running boards will open then you close the back door and they close... then you open the front doors and they open again. I just fear that something will fail because of this. I get pretty decent city gas mileage, about 16 MPG with the 5.3."

"This has been the best vehicle we have ever owned.. Lots of space, comfort, power, reliability and style... Gas mileage is great for its size.. 17MPG highway for us. On a recent 2000 mile trip we got 20 or better. We have never towed anything with it. Heated/cooled seats are awesome. Heated second row seats. There is only one item we didn't care for. The third row bench seat is hard as a rock.. Its ok for young kids, but not adults. Uncomfortable.. Had one recall item. It was very minor in my eyes. Had something to do with the dip stick. My wife is short and the step down out side the door is great for her. Heard some bad things about the automatic step down. So we took the standard one. Never in the way and always there. This thing has a lot to offer in extras. Not a thing has malfunctioned in 3 years.. We all complain about price. So here is mine. 59 grand for it new. Dats a lot of money.. lol.. But so far, worth it.."

Liam Hemsworth escorted Miley Cyrus and her girls to CNN's "Heroes" tribute in L.A. this weekend.
They are like one big happy family.
Nice fake boobs!
This girl is so skanky
nice dress..nice makeup...and then hair that looks like she did it in five minutes?
I think she looks sexy and classy all at the same time. They're gorgeous together. They need to do a Vanity Fair photo shoot or something.
when did she get the implants? Another airbrushed photoshopped pic. You can always tell by the shading around the breasts. Dead give away.
Ahhhhhhhhh, fake boobies. More money "well-spent". Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. Too bad she didn't spend any money on her face!
they sure do look like implants, don't they? Is it public knowledge she has had breast implants? I guess I'm out of it if everyone else knows she's had implants.
She looks sexy and great!
I think she actually looks pretty in this picture... there is a lot of boobage but it could always be worse!
No, you can tell she has her boobs squashed up and together to try to appear "bigger" and "bustier" than she really is. Just look at that HUGEEE gap in between her breasts (which by the way looks DISGUSTING) anyone that had naturally large breasts would NOT have a gap in between them that is the size of Texas. I suggest she stop trying so hard to be "curvy" and just be happy with her obviously small breasts.
What a terrible looking dress and it totally doesn't even suit her anyway! Her boobs hanging out like that makes her look even more dumb!
looks like she got a boob job, anything to stay relevant i guess

Saturday was blustery and overcast- Sunday the wind died down, but the temps stayed far cooler than the forecast 60s....and, today, Monday the wind has been howling all day and now its raining. Ode to Spring!
Dave and Andrey the Badger took a little mercy on me Sunday and stopped for a good 2 minutes to take in the vista off the top of Zion Curtain...anyone who has done this ride knows this is a painfully false summit with plenty of altitude gain yet to come. Let's just say, you'll be stoked you packed an extra snack.
We linked our Zion loop with a Western Rim/ Trail 2 lap today and hands down encountered more bikes, motos and ATVs than we have ever seen out there before. Good to see folks out and about, but we all agree it is time for the BLM to work on a trail management plan for Rabbit Valley.
Photo/map poached from http://www.gjmountainbiking.com/site.html
They have done a good bit of work labeling trails- but far too little keeping 4 wheelers off the trails that are closed to them and instilling the "Stay the Trail" credo. This afternoon we ended up in an absolute cluster f*ck with an entire family of ATVs "stuck" in the rocks on the Trail 2 singletrack. Dad insisted they, "never saw any markers" - and was pretty darn well busted when Dave pointed out the tracks showing the entire family had motored right past the No ATVs sign to enter the trail.
Why is this a problem? Well, for one thing the desert is fragile and random tracks damage the eco system profoundly. For another thing- single track is a premium commodity and not one we need to be trashing- least of all teaching our children to feel free to trash. The Bernstein Bear Family and their fleet of ATVs received our Raspberry Award today. Of course, I'm sure they'll all be out with shovels and gloves helping restore habitat or build trail the next chance they get...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
While the above issue is totally obvious to us all, our next idea is certainly more controversial. We would strongly urge the BLM to designate the Western Rim Trail as a moto-free zone. The surge in popularity of this trail has created overuse and, in turn, abuse. It used to be that the motos you encountered out there represented the creme de la creme- uber talented riders who embraced the physical and mental challenges inherent in riding technical single track.
This spring the random tracks of moto gaper wannabes are everywhere- willy nilly ripping up the red dirt desert. Clearly these folks lack the skill to ride this trail, but have been attracted by the allure. Fact of the matter is there is an insane amount of mileage out at Rabbit Valley to challenge the Motos and relatively little suited to mountain bikes.
Given the fragility of the Western Rim and the damage it is enduring we would strongly urge all of our readers to contact the goodfolks at the Grand junction office of the BLM and ask them to consider closing this piece of trail to motos (and, when they do, we will be there with our gloves on to lay down some serious trail maintenance).
Watch the forecast and get out here for some good gettin'!

Meet the Yankees' new good luck charm: Shawn Kelley's horse maskPosted by: | Comments
Here's a fun little story in the middle of the Yankees' five-game winning streak. Jeff Passan wrote about the 2014 version of Jason Giambi's gold thong: Shawn Kelley's horse mask. It's exactly what it sounds like, a giant latex horse mask. Here's a photo. Apparently Kelley stumbled across it online one day, bought one, and started wearing it during pre-game warm-ups and in the clubhouse to keep the team loose.
"When I see those things, randomly in a crowd, it makes me laugh. So I figured I'll do that, and it'll make everyone laugh in the clubhouse," said Kelley. "And then we went on a winning streak." The Yankees are a perfect 5-0 since the horse mask they've dubbed Seabiscuit — they really dropped the ball by not called it Tex or Teixeira or something like that — so it stays. Baseball players are a superstitious lot. Say it with me, folks: the latex horse mask that turned the season around.
2014 Midseason Grades: The BullpenPosted by: | Comments
Even though it is not really the halfway point of the season, there is no better time to review the first half than the All-Star break. This week we'll hand out some simple, straightforward, and totally subjective grades, A through F, for the catchers, infielders, outfielders, rotation, and bullpen. We've already covered the catchers, infielders, outfielders, and rotation, so now let's wrap up with the bullpen.
David Robertson — Grade A
So maybe replacing Mariano Rivera won't be so difficult after all. Robertson inherited the closer's job — to the dismay of more than a few — and has run with it, pitching to a 2.76 ERA (1.73 FIP) in 32 appearances and 32.2 innings. He is 23-for-25 in save chances with a career best strikeout rate (16.26 K/9 and 44.7 K%) and a career best ground rate (51.6%) while keeping his walk rate (2.76 BB/9 and 7.6 BB%) in line with the last two years. Robertson is also holding opponents to a .198 batting average, second lowest of his career (.170 in 2011) despite a career worst .356 BABIP.
Robertson has allowed ten earned runs this year with five coming in one disaster outing against the Twins on June 1st. He has allowed one run while striking out 27 of 56 batters faced since. Overall, 59 of 98 outs this season have been strikeouts, including 58 of 89 (65.2%) since coming off the disabled list (groin) in mid-April. No pitcher who has thrown at least 30 innings this season has a high strikeout rate. It's not even close, really. Robertson leads in K/9 by more than one full strikeout and in K% by roughly three percentage points. He's been dominant in every sense of the word.
The Yankees will need Robertson to continue his dominance in the second half for obvious reasons, though his looming free agency will be hanging over everyone's head. The two sides have not discussed an extension but that could change at any time. Relievers like Robertson — super high strikeout pitchers with proven late-inning/big market chops and no history of arm problems — are rare and the Yankees should make every effort to keep him beyond this season. If his work this year doesn't convince them he is the man to replace Rivera long-term, then I'm not sure they'll ever find someone good enough.
Dellin Betances — Grade A
Just a few short months ago, Betances had a win a roster spot in Spring Training. Now he's an All-Star high-leverage reliever who is 1996 Rivera to Robertson's 1996 John Wetteland. Betances has a 1.46 ERA (1.37 FIP) while ranking third among full-time relievers in innings (55.1) and first in both fWAR (2.1) and bWAR (1.7). His strikeout rate (13.66 K/9 and 40.8 K%) is a bit behind Robertson's but still among the highest in the league. He's also stopped walking dudes (2.60 BB/9 and 7.8 BB%) and is getting grounders (50.5%).
Joe Girardi has not been shy about using Betances for multiple innings given his history as a starter — Betances has recorded at least four outs in 25 of his 40 appearances and at least six outs 12 times — though he did take his foot off the gas right before the All-Star break because it did appear the big right-hander was starting to fatigue a bit. His stuff was still electric but not quite as crisp. Hopefully the break recharges his batteries. A little more than a year ago, Betances looked like he may soon be out of baseball. The move into the bullpen has saved his career and given the Yankees a second elite reliever to pair with Robertson in the first season post-Mo.
Adam Warren — Grade B
From spot starter to swingman to trusted high-leverage reliever. Warren has had his role redefined over the last few seasons and he has now settled in as a quality third option behind Robertson and Betances. His numbers — 2.79 ERA (2.70 FIP) in 42 appearances and 48.1 innings — are not quite as good as those two, but he gets strikeouts (8.57 K/9 and 22.4 K%), gets grounders (46.8%), and is stingy with ball four (2.79 BB/9 and 7.3 BB%). His fastball velocity has also ticked up in short relief, averaging 94.1 mph this year after sitting 93.0 last year.
As with Betances, Girardi has taken advantage of Warren's history as a starter by using his for multiple innings on several occasions — he's recorded 4+ outs in 18 of his 42 appearances. The Yankees have said that if the need arises, they would pull Warren out of the bullpen and stick him in the rotation, but starters are dropping like flies and it hasn't happened yet. Warren seems to have found a niche in short relief and he's been a very valuable member of the bullpen despite being overshadowed by Robertson and Betances.
Shawn Kelley — Grade C
It was a tale of two first halves for Kelley, who opened the season as the regular eighth inning guy and nailed down four saves in four chances while Robertson was on the disabled list in April. He had a 1.88 (1.67 FIP) in his first 14.1 innings of the year before a disaster outing against the Angels on May 5th (two outs, four walks, three runs), after which he was placed on the disabled list with a back injury. It kept him out a month and he has a 4.05 ERA (3.21 FIP) in 13.1 innings since returning.
Kelley didn't look right when he first returned from the back problem. He wasn't able to finish his pitches and his trademark slider didn't have much bite. It just kinda spun and floated. He looked much better in his last few outings before the All-Star break — one run, five hits, no walks, 13 strikeouts in 8.1 innings — and hopefully that's a sign he's now 100% and ready to take on some late-inning responsibilities so Girardi can spread the workload around. Definitely a mixed bag for Kelley in the first half.
Matt Thornton — Grade C
The rules of baseball fandom say we must hate the team's lefty specialist, but Thornton has been solid (3.10 ERA and 3.04 FIP) in his 38 appearances and 20.1 innings. As his innings-to-appearances ratio suggests, Girardi has used him as a true matchup left-hander and not tried to force it against righties whenever possible. Thornton has held same-side hitters to a .229/.319/.244 (.262 wOBA) batting line with a 15.1% strikeout rate, a 3.8% walk rate, and a 50.0% ground ball rate. Solid.
The only real negative about Thornton is he doesn't miss bats, even against left-handed hitters. That 15.1% strikeout rate is 76th out of the 90 left-handed pitchers who have faced at least 50 left-handed batters this year. Lefties have swung and missed only 20 times at the 220 pitches Thornton has thrown them this year (9.1%). That kinda sucks for a left-on-left reliever. Thornton missed a week with undisclosed soreness right before the break but did return to pitch against the Indians last week. LOOGYs, huh? Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.
Preston Claiborne and David Huff — Grade C
Remember how awful Claiborne looked in Spring Training? We were talking about him as a candidate to be dropped from the 40-man roster if a need arose, but the Yankees kept him around and he pitched to a 3.57 ERA (3.82 FIP) in 17.2 innings while going up and down a few times in the first half. Three of his nine walks were intentional, uglifying his numbers a bit. Claiborne is currently on the Triple-A Scranton disabled list with a shoulder injury of unknown severity, which is not insignificant given his status as the team's primary up and down depth arm.
The Yankees re-acquired Huff from the Giants in mid-June as part of their continuing efforts to find a not awful long man, and he's since given the team 16.2 innings of 2.16 ERA (5.18 FIP) ball. Girardi used him as a matchup lefty while Thornton was out with his soreness and that predictably did not go well. Warren was pretty awesome by long man standards last year and that kinda spoiled us. Most long relievers stink. Is Huff keeping runs off the board? His ERA says yes. Has it been pretty? No but who cares. In that role you just want someone who can limited the damage and Huff has done that for the most part.
Alfredo Aceves — Grade F
Did you realize Aceves threw the sixth most innings among the team's relievers in the first half? I sure didn't. The Mexican Gangster threw 5.1 scoreless innings in long relief in his first outing back with the team, but it was all downhill from there. He allowed 14 runs on 20 hits (six homers!) and four walks in his next nine games and 14 innings, putting his overall season numbers at 6.52 ERA (6.29 FIP) in 19.1 total innings. The Yankees designated Aceves for assignment in early-June, he accepted the outright assignment to Triple-A Scranton, and he was recently suspended 50 games after a second failed test for a drug of abuse. He will be missed by: no one.
Matt Daley, Jose Ramirez, Bruce Billings, Jim Miller, Chris Leroux, Cesar Cabral, and Wade LeBlanc — Grade F
The combined pitching line of these seven: 33.2 IP, 46 H, 36 R, 33 ER, 19 BB, 33 K, 6 HBP, 6 HR. That's an 8.82 ERA and a 5.19 FIP in one more inning than Robertson has thrown this year. I didn't even include Dean Anna. /barfs
* * *
Girardi has had to rely on his bullpen more than I'm sure he would have liked in the first half, mostly because of the rotation injuries. Yankees relievers have thrown 292 innings this season, the 13th most in MLB, though their 264 total pitching changes are only 23rd most. That's because of guys like Betances, Warren, and Huff being used for multiple innings at a time.
The bullpen has a 3.85 ERA (3.60 FIP) overall, which is bottom third in the league, but they have a top-heavy relief crew with arguably the best setup man/closer tandem in the game. The late innings are no problem at all. The middle innings are where it gets messy. Kelley is the bullpen key to the second half to me — if he gets back to pitching like he did before his back started acting up, Girardi will have another trustworthy high-strikeout arm who could potential solve that middle innings problem.
Yankees activate Shawn Kelley, send Matt Daley to Triple-APosted by: | Comments
As expected, the Yankees have activated righty Shawn Kelley off the 15-day DL, the team announced. He missed about a month with a back problem. Fellow righty Matt Daley was optioned to Triple-A Scranton to clear a roster spot. Jose Ramirez remains with the team and figures to get a long look in a middle relief role in the coming weeks.
Injury Updates: Sabathia, Beltran, KelleyPosted by: | Comments
The Yankees open their three-game series with the Twins in a few hours, but first here are some more injury updates courtesy of Bryan Hoch, Chad Jennings, and Jeff Roberts:
- Carlos Beltran (elbow) took batting practice on the field today and felt no discomfort. It seems increasingly likely he will avoid surgery. Beltran will need to play in some minor league rehab games before rejoining the team. He won't do anything more than DH at first.
- Shawn Kelley (back) threw his first bullpen session since hitting the disabled list today and everything went fine. He'll need a minor league rehab outing or two before rejoining the club.
- CC Sabathia (knee) will visit the doctor today and they'll determine the next step in his rehab process. Joe Girardi said everything is going well so far.
Injury Updates: Teixeira, Pineda, Beltran, KelleyPosted by: | Comments
Here are some injury updates on the off-day, courtesy of George King, Chad Jennings, and Andrew Marchand:
- Mark Teixeira (wrist) will visit his surgeon in New York today and have an ultrasound. He hasn't played since Sunday and an MRI is not planned unless other tests show something. "I was hoping I'd wake up this morning and feel nothing. There's still some soreness in there," said Teixeira yesterday. "Hopefully the extra day off tomorrow will help, and hopefully I'm back in there on Friday."
- Michael Pineda (back/shoulder) is scheduled to pitch in an intrasquad game in Tampa on Sunday. He threw two innings in Extended Spring Training on Tuesday, so he's on a regular five-day schedule. If Sunday's outing goes well, Pineda could soon begin an official minor league rehab assignment.
- Carlos Beltran (elbow) will hit off a tee and soft toss with hitting coach Kevin Long at Yankee Stadium today. He rested yesterday after swinging a bat on Monday (fungo) and Tuesday (full-size bat).
- Shawn Kelley (back) played catch again yesterday and felt fine. He will get back on a mound and throw a bullpen session on Friday.
Update (3:17pm): Teixeira has only inflammation in his wrist and is day-to-day, the Yankees announced following his visit to the doctor this afternoon. The team also says Beltran took 25 swings from each side of the plate and felt no discomfort in his elbow. He will do the same thing tomorrow.
Injury Updates: Beltran, Teixeira, KelleyPosted by: | Comments
Got some injury updates leading up to this afternoon's series opener against the Cardinals, courtesy of the various reporters with the team:
- Carlos Beltran (elbow) took 15 swings with a fungo bat and everything went well, believe it or not. Didn't see that coming. He will take swings with a regular bat tomorrow. Good first step, but obviously Beltran is not out of the woods yet.
- Mark Teixeira (wrist) was scratched from this afternoon's lineup with stiffness. Joe Girardi said it has been bugging him for a few days but it is considered minor and there are no tests scheduled. They are hopeful Teixeira will play tomorrow.
- Shawn Kelley (back) played catch at 75 feet today and felt fine. Of course, he played catch last week and felt fine until he woke up with renewed soreness the next day. Kelley will play catch again in the coming days.
Shawn Kelley shut down following setbackPosted by: | Comments
Shawn Kelley has been shut down after waking up with more stiffness in his back, according to the various reporters with the Yankees. Tests did come back clean, but they have halted his rehab and will proceed slowly.
Kelley was set to play catch this week, pitch in a minor league rehab game within the next few days, then rejoin the team either over the weekend or early next week. Back issues have a way of lingering, so this might be more than a few extra days. Adam Warren and Dellin Betances will remain David Robertson's primary setup men for the time being.
Injury Updates: Beltran, Pineda, KelleyPosted by: | Comments
Got some injury updates to pass along, courtesy of Chad Jennings and Meredith Marakovits:
- Carlos Beltran (elbow) received a second cortisone injection and will see Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on Tuesday. The second opinion was apparently always scheduled, but the second injection indicates the first isn't helping much. It's looking more and more likely Beltran is heading for surgery.
- Michael Pineda (shoulder) threw a 28-pitch bullpen session this afternoon as scheduled, and everything went fine. He will rest the next two days, then throw a 30-40 pitch bullpen session on Wednesday. Big Mike will start facing hitters after that, presumably in live batting practice or a simulated game.
- Shawn Kelley (back) will play catch on Monday and Tuesday, throw a bullpen session on Wednesday, then make a minor league rehab appearance on Friday. He hopes to be activated off the 15-day DL and rejoin the team next Sunday.
Yanks place Kelley on DL, call up Zoilo AlmontePosted by: | Comments
The Yankees have placed Shawn Kelley on the 15-day DL with a "strained lumbar spine," the team announced. Outfielder Zoilo Almonte was called up from Triple-A Scranton to fill the roster spot. The DL stint is back-dated to last Tuesday, so Kelley is eligible to be activated one week from Wednesday. The Yankees currently have a six-man bullpen (assuming Al Aceves is starting Thursday) and a five-man bench. Weird.
Kelley, 30, missed a few games last week with tightness in his lower back. It apparently went away over the weekend — he warmed up in Sunday's game but did not pitch — but returned yesterday. He was not available last night. In 16 games and 15.1 innings this season, Kelley has a 3.52 ERA and 2.38 FIP. He has a long history of elbow problems (two Tommy John surgeries) but this is his first back trouble.
Almonte, 24, will give the team some extra outfield depth now that Carlos Beltran has a bone spur in his elbow and Ichiro Suzuki's back is sore. The Yankees aren't going to carry a six-man bullpen forever, and with Chase Whitley in line to be called up on Thursday, Almonte's stint in pinstripes may be short lived. He has hit .273/.324/.470 (121 wRC+) with six homers in 33 Triple-A games this season.
With Kelly out, Adam Warren will likely take over as David Robertson's primary setup man. Dellin Betances also figures to take on some more responsibility as well. The only Triple-A pitchers who are currently on the 40-man roster are Jose Ramirez and Shane Greene, so the Yankees are running out of arms. Hopefully Kelley returns next week and we never hear of his sore back again.
Shawn Kelley day-to-day with continued back tightnessPosted by: | Comments
Shawn Kelley was not available for tonight's day due to lingering tightness in his back, Joe Girardi announced. "He does not have the flexibility to finish his pitches," said the skipper. No tests are planned at the moment. Kelley did warm up in yesterday's game, but apparently something is still not right. With David Robertson married to save situations, the bullpen is really short right now.

South Shore restaurants, rebuilt after Sandy
Take a walk through Long Island's South Shore towns and you may have a hard time believing that, a mere eight months ago, superstorm Sandy set tables and refrigerators floating down streets, ripped out sections of buildings and submerged entire kitchens and dining rooms. It took superhuman strength -- of spirit and body -- to navigate the insurance maze, renovate and rebuild. Although many restaurants never made that comeback, a surprisingly large number have. --JOAN REMINICK, email@example.com

Welcome to my Auction!! Up for your Review and Bidding is this wonderful large 3.25 " Drill an authentic Indian Artifact. This came from a gentlemen's estate out of Missouri, which him and his father had found and collected indian artifacts for over 50 years off their property. This Drill was found in Chariton County, Missouri. If you would like to see any additional pictures or have any questions at all please email me. This item is listed with a reasonable small reserve only because it is truely a beautiful piece of indian workmanship and I would like to receive as much of its money value as possible. If not I will keep it and maybe start my own collection. Thanks for looking, I have one other piece from this estate - a very nice size blade, so look at my other auctions, I will combine shipping if you win both. Please bid with confidence T is no reserve on this item, I copied and pasted from previous listing and forgot to remove statement about reserve. I have had several people ask me if I guaranteed this drill to be authentic so I am adding a 10 DAY 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE to the highest bidder - buyer pays return shipping + insurance if not satisfied for any reason. Thanks!!
