Eleven major pro and college coaches won championships in their first years since 1970. Texas Rangers manager Jeff Banister is looking to join them. A look at the club
Jake Arrieta is the first pitcher in postseason history to throw a shutout with 10 or more strikeouts and zero walks. #Cubs
Jayson Stark on the dominance of the Cubs starter: "It's incredible to be in a ballpark where a team hands a guy like this a lead two hitters into the game and you're thinking, 'Nobody's made an out yet and the game is over.'"
Comfortable temperatures are expected in Kansas City tonight for the ALDS opener between the Astros and Royals. According to AccuWeather, it will be mostly cloudy and 72 degrees at first pitch. A light passing shower is possible. Winds blowing out to RF at 8-16 mph.
Everyone talks about how Clayton Kershaw needs to erase his postseason demons but David Price is in a similar position. He's the only pitcher to lose his first five postseason starts (although he did pitch well for the Tigers last year).
Roof or no roof? According to the Accuweather forecast, it will be dry Thursday afternoon in Toronto with clouds and limited sunshine. If the roof is left open, the first pitch temperature will be near 60 degrees and then remain nearly steady throughout the game. The wind will be rather light and from the southeast at 10 mph or less. There is a small chance for a shower toward the end of the game, but the most likely scenario is that any showers hold off until after the game later Thursday evening or Thursday night. David Price's preference? "Whatever our hitters want," he said.
Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta comments on the atmosphere in PNC Park and getting hit by a pitch, which cleared the benches: "I kind of expected that."
Fascinating Division Series dynamic this year. The NL has the marquee matchups, but both AL series should be a lot of fun.
Jake Arrieta celebrates becoming the only pitcher to throw a shutout with 10+ Ks and no walks in postseason history. pic.twitter.com/UkbdEq4VlO
Jake Arrieta struck out 11 batters and allowed just four hits en route to a dominant shutout that led the Cubs past the Pirates 4-0 and set up a meeting with the Cardinals in the NLDS.
The Cubs and Cardinals have played a total of 2,363 regular-season games all-time, but they have never faced each other in the postseason. Game 1 of their NLDS is Friday at 6:45 p.m. ET.
ESPN analyst Jessica Mendoza talks with Good Morning America about the criticism directed at her after announcing the AL wild-card game.
The former Mets starting pitcher, and member of the '86 world champs, said of Matt Harvey's late arrival to Mets practice on Tuesday: "It's really hard for me to criticize. Half our team didn't make the [World Series] parade ... We had guys who barely showed up to games."
The Cubs ace, barely seen here in a cloud of champagne, became the first pitcher ever to throw a postseason shutout with double-digit strikeouts and zero walks. Over Arrieta's past 14 starts, the Cubs are 14-0. Over his past 19 starts, they're 18-1.

Skoll Awardee(s): Karen Tse
Award Year: 2006
Issue Area(s) Addressed: Peace and Human Rights
(Click here to print)
International Bridges to Justice
Skoll Awardee(s): Karen Tse
"It is through the support of communities that the lawyers have the courage and strength to build the movement. In the words of a Kenyan proverb, 'If you want to go fast, walk alone. If you want to go far, walk with others.'"
Sub-Issues: International Justice Each day, hundreds of thousands of citizens around the world are arbitrarily detained, tortured, and denied access to counsel and a fair trial.
The Skoll Awardee: A former public defender and ordained minister, Karen Tse moved to Cambodia in 1994 to train public defenders. "I remember peering through a prison cell and talking with a boy who had been detained and tortured," she recalls. "He was just a boy who had tried to steal a bicycle and he had no one to defend him." At that time, there was little Karen or others could do. Since then, governments throughout Asia, under pressure from human rights activists, have passed laws outlawing torture and providing citizens with basic rights, opening doors to develop criminal justice systems. Karen founded International Bridges to Justice (IBJ) in 2000 to promote local implementation of laws safeguarding citizen rights and to strengthen the critical, often neglected, defender side of the scale. IBJ provides tools and other support to build the skills required for defenders of justice and human rights to perform their jobs professionally, safely, and with the greatest effect on the justice system. It accomplishes this through in-country programs, web based tools and training, and online community building. At the time of the Award, IBJ had negotiated groundbreaking judicial reform measures with the governments of China, Vietnam, and Cambodia, and expanded programming to Rwanda, Burundi, and India.
Impact since joining the portfolio in 2006:
- IBJ has in-depth programs in Burundi, Cambodia, China, India, Rwanda, Singapore and Zimbabwe, in which it trains defense lawyers, persuades justice sector officials to create fairer criminal justice systems, and educates the public about their legal rights.
- IBJ's JusticeMakers program has provided funding for projects in 25 countries and built a global platform now used by more than 6,000 lawyers and human rights defenders.
- IBJ has advanced the legal skills of thousands of lawyers, including some 400,000 who have used its Criminal Defense Wiki, which brings together the legal and professional experience of criminal defense practitioners, law students, professors, and other professionals in an . online information resource on different types of criminal justice systems and topics common to defenders throughout the world.
- IBJ has educated millions of people to demand their legal rights.

Glad to see he's working on his pitching.

Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
ESPN is reporting 3/37 for Lincecum.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
"Right-hander Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants have settled their arbitration case, with the two-time NL Cy Young winner signing a $23 million, two-year contract ahead of Friday's originally scheduled hearing."
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Hi Giants Management, here is $10 million dollars.
Warm Regards,
Tim Lincecum and my incomptetent agent.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Not sure its incompetence. Dude is 1st year arbitration eligible and is going to get 23 million for service years 3 and 4.
As a pitcher it would seem more prudent to get all the security you can. Mark Prior was Lincecum 6 or 7 years ago.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
1 year $5 million is security for life.
He would have won and got probably $18 next year if healthy, so maybe $8 million - but that doesn't include the bonuses.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Because his case was better than Howards'.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
No, it's not 100% certain, but I am sure if you survey around (and I bet one of the writers does) the consensus is going to be that Lincecum was going to win. Was places in voting mentioned as a criteria? The guy could simply say "here is the list of guys who won the Cy Young award in their first two full seasons:
Here's a list of the guys who didn't:
(every othe pitcher in the history of the game). Howard had won two of the major awards, he got $10 million three years ago. There are no pitching comps - I am incomprable."
Re: Mark Prior was Lincecum 6 or 7 years ago.
Mark Prior won two Cy Youngs in a row! Who knew?
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
He was the best pitcher in the NL. Maybe for only 18 months. Similar to Lincecum over the last 24 or so months.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
i hope that's not in any specific order because if it is it's loaded with retardation. good info aside from that, though.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Of course it's not in any specific order. Castro would be first on the list if it was. Long live hype.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
s.strasburg is #31 on the list...for instance.
fwiw, the actual info in the article is top notch stuff, but the order is a little confusing.
maybe it's cuz strasburg throws an inverted-W therefore his arm is 100% gonna fall off just like john smoltz's waited 20 years to do...wait...
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
i know..i still disagree with the ranking, though.
the important part is the info and the stats along with the info is handy.

where does he get his material, Dr. Nick Riviera?
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Could be out until June? Sure and Sandberg could be the Cub Manager in June. Pujols could be out with hemorrhoid surgery until June.
Is Phil Rogers really a reporter? Lazy, dumb-ass reporter might be a better description.
I can only hope that Phil Rogers could be out with writer's block until June.
...at least Bruce Levine uses a Hendry quote (who relates his conversation with Cubs trainer Mark O'Neill regarding Lilly):
"I talked to Mark O'Neil [trainer] last week, and he said he is coming along fine," Hendry said. "If he starts April 15 that will be fine. I don't see it being anything unless there is some kind of setback that happens in camp. It was a real minor procedure. In fairness to Ted, we're not going to rush him either. If he's 95 percent on Opening Day then we will wait until he is 100 percent."
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I, the eternal pessimist, also said June.
Just going on how Cubs report pitchers recovery times from the past, you usually add 6-8 to weeks conservative what they say.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I, the eternal pessimist, also said June.
hmmm. Might as well skip 2010 then. Hope next offseason is better.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
*shakes fist*
damn you dusty!! he threw 119 pitches in a game in late sept...1 more pitch and he'd be out until at least 2011. at least we have that to take comfort in.

Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
the comments are brain-hurty...but most comments on articles are.
I love the one where the guy goes on for two paragraphs talking about how superior defenders know how to position themselves. Sammy Sosa is the only MLB player I know who got to position himself in the field, everyone else stands where the bench coach tells him to.
A little blurb by a blog I hadn't heard of on SIERRA and the Cubs.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
W/R/T #3, my understanding of it is that it's just a way of saying the marginal value of a strikeout decreases as a pitcher's strikeout rate increases.
I'm trying to wrap my head around #4. After thinking about it for a few moments I think it might be easier to describe what the hell is going on in Lost.
I think what #4 means is that under the theory that groundballs are more likely to be hits than flyballs, groundball pitchers are more likely to have runners on base when pitching, so subsequent groundballs are more useful since they are more likely to be able to induce double plays. The logic seems to be a bit circular, but that's possibly because I'm either not getting it or not explaining it correctly :)
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
3. I think is just saying that the difference between say 4 and 5 strikeouts per 9 will give more benefit than say 9 to 10. Say your HR adjusted WHIP is 1.5. So in an average inning you have one and a half baserunners. If you record all your outs via groundball and flyball, you're going to give up more 'productive outs'. If you get all your outs via strikeout, you don't care how many guys are on base, because they're not going anywhere without a hit (or a forced in walk). I think that's what it's illustrating.
4. Groundballs tend to be singles and maybe doubles. Flyballs which go for hits are rarely singles.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
they just came early to get out of the cold...
Sosa never had that issue.
Plus he needed the extra time to complete his steroid cycle.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
...Randy Wells, Jeff Samardzija, Sean Marshall, Jeff Stevens, Tom Gorzelanny, Michael Parisi, David Patton, Jeff Gray, John Gaub and Vince Perkins. Gorzelanny is one of many who said he decided to report early just to get out of the snow up north...
Snow, my Aunt Fannie. Looks to me like Gorzellany, and the rest of those cats, know how much room there is in the rotation. Good for them for getting in early.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes

Interesting development in Oakland
I just read that the A's are talking a one year deal with Gabe Gross. If so, it looks like ex Cubs Eric Patterson, Jake Fox and Aaron Miles could be fighting it out for the last seat on the Oakland bench.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Wasn't Miles traded from the A's to the Reds?
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Off topic:
I was at a friend's house today while he was cleaning out a storage cabinet with old baseball memorabilia in it. He found a box of Slammin' Sammy Flakes, commemorating his 66 home run season. I had to read the fine print, and it said "Free Toy Syringe in Every Box!"
I didn't remember that on there before:)
Re: Wasn't Miles traded from the A's to the Reds?
Why this stuff showed up today, I dunno. It all happened two weeks ago. The A's dumped Taveras, shipped Miles and signed Gross. Fox must be safe. So that leaves Patterson who I believe must be put on waivers before he can be sent back to the minors.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Cubs should jump all over EPatt.
2nd base/CF leadoff possiblility. Much cheaper than Baker,Theriot or Fontenot going forward.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I agree, and he's got more upside.
But I wonder whose job the Cubs would have to give him in order to keep him on the active MLB roster. Probably Fontenot's, right? And then Fontenot would be released or traded? Which leaves the Cubs with Jeff Baker or EPatt (whose defense I at 2nd is still suspect, right?). It's a risk I'd be willing to take. I suppose giving Hoffpauir the shaft would be an option as well.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Fontentot is shitty defensively just like Epatt is. Both are lefthanded. Difference is that Epatt is 55% cheaper. 4 years younger. Has a much higher ceiling. Can play the Outfield as well.
Really no downside that I can see?

DR AARON B: Thanks to the Cubs optioning him to the minors for disciplinary reasons on 9-3-2007, Eric Patterson is out of options a year earlier than he should have been.
E-Pat had a nice little run with the A's in 31 games in 2009 (287/373/394, playing 2B-LF-CF-RF) after hitting 307/376/494 with 29 doubles, 11 triples, 12 HR, and 43 SB (6 CS) in 110 games at AAA Sacramento while playing all over the place (2B-3B-1B-LF-CF), and is projected as the A's IF-OF super-sub in 2010. And being out of options certainly should help solidify his chances of making the A's Opening Day 25-man roster.
While he is definitely an "offense-first" type of utility guy, I suspect the Cubs would seriously consider taking Patterson back if given the chance. He would be a good "25th man" on an N. L. club, with the ability to PH and PR in addition to having the versatility needed to play a number of different positions (albeit none of them well).
BTW, despite what was reported at mlbtraderumors, both Eric Patterson AND Jake Fox are out of minor league options.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
fontenot's D is better than epat's D...which should say enough.
epat's footwork at 2nd is abysmal. who wants him for 2nd? seriously... technically, bj upton "can" play SS.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I'd like to get Dr. AZ Phil's opine on this matter. He has seen Epatt's work at 2nd more than anyone else has.
His rate and fielding %'s don't look terrible.

I'd like to get Dr. AZ Phil's opine on this matter. He has seen Epatt's work at 2nd more than anyone else has.
His rate and fielding %'s don't look terrible.
DR AARON B: Eric Patterson has plus-range and an above-average arm for a second-baseman, is capable of making spectacular plays, and he's a good flyhawk. He has a lot of the physical attributes you usually see in a young shortstop.
On the negative side, he has difficulty turning double plays (rhythm & footwork problems) and he has Steve Sax Disease (the closer he gets to 1st base, the more-erratic the throw). He plays 2nd base like a bull in a china shop. No finesse. He's like a guy who keeps stepping on his girlfriend's feet when they're dancing. He's a two-guard playing the point.
I saw Eric Patterson as a prototypical CF or LF when he was coming up through the Cubs system, but the Cubs didn't try him in the outfield until mid-way through his third season in the organization. I know E-Pat prefers to play 2nd base, and sometimes a player's "comfort zone" in the field matters more than aptitude because it helps the player perform at his best at the plate. The more he hits, the better chance he has to play 2B. But he is a liability in the field.

What is your opinion of Fontenot's defense
DR AARON B: When Mike Fontenot was acquired by the Cubs, he was very stiff and had a lot trouble turning the DP (very much like E-Pat), and he had (and still has) minimal range going to his right.
While he doesn't bring a "Gold Glove" to the field, over time Fontenot has made himself into an average defensive second-baseman, capable of making most all the routine plays. He's not versatile enough to be a true utility player, though, so either he plays 2B (in a platoon if not every day) or he goes back to AAA. And he has to hit, too. His just average defense & speed won't carry him if he doesn't hit.
On the other hand, Eric Patterson does have the athleticism to be a utility player. He is below-average defensively no matter where he plays, but his combination of bat/speed/occasional power can help a manager overlook some of his defensive shortcomings, as long as he keeps hitting and continues to show patience at the plate.
I believe Patterson has a much brighter future than does Fontenot. I wouldn't be surprised if by 2011 Fontenot is playing 2B somewhere in AAA while E-Pat is on an MLB roster.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
Thanks for the info Phil.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I thought his defense at 3rd was pretty solid last year, and think he could get by as a emergency replacement at SS or a corner outfield spot. He certainly needs to hit better than he did last year, though. I think he's the guy who suffered the most from Aram's injury ... well other than Aram. He had to play a newish position, and then he tried to pick up the offensive slack and didn't handle it well.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
I get the feeling, the Cubs are done with the Pattersons.
Re: Site for Some Sore Winter Eyes
if only he could play 2nd worth a damn.

Oh what do you know, Cubster? Go back to your day job.
--- Ducks, puts on Cardinals cap, runs.
Russell had a severe hamstring last year while with the A's system, forcing him to miss the first half of 2014. I've even wondered if his injury last year was a component of Billy Beane putting him on the trade market. He was quoted saying that last year's injury was a 10 out of 10 when it happened. Last night he said his hamstring soreness was a 1/1.5 out of 10. Hamstring injuries are tricky though, so I'd expect the medical team to be overly cautious here.
...I want to reinforce the observation that there was no sea of red in the crowd. The usual Cardinal fans roaming the stadium were few and far between.
Also, almost every 2 strike pitch brought the fans to their feet. Good for those in knee rehab.
"1st team hit hit 6HR in a game in the postseason." rises above obvious...i checked it with the official fact-finding commission of Douche, Douche, and Douchestein. they agreed with you, but they're a bunch of f'n douches so who cares?
btw, the cubs are 2-1 in the post-season series.
I should be able to watch the game on the NFL replay app, whatever that thing is called. I've got it on my iPad. This is the first year I haven't forced myself to somehow watch every game - no I take that back, last year was - in quite some time. Last year was so unbearable, no pun intended.
You make some good points about Cutler, and I was a holdout defender of Cutler for a long time. I gave up on him a bit after one too many dumb interceptions, but last year doesn't count. Trestman was the worst coach in Bears history.
Nice little reportage there!. I think you're older than me. Considerably older. Maybe several generations. Working out is so essential, especially as age kicks in, isn't it? I still lift weights, and so I'm confident that when I get to be at the hip breaking age, mine won't be a statistic. But I have a ways to go for that to be a concern.
What was impressive to me is that the Cubs won despite poor base running, several defensive miscues, Russell leaving due to injury, Arrieta having an off game and getting knocked out early, and Rondon giving up 2 runs in the 9th. If they can win a game like that...
I was there too. The crowd was absolutely electric. People were standing for every big and semi-big moment, from the first inning on. It felt incredibly strange and exhilarating to see the Cubs (the Chicago bleepin' Cubs!) score playoff insurance runs on the Cardinals. What a game. One to remember.
14 in attendance. What's the record for attendance in the fall? I guess I should ask what the record attendance listed is in one of your recaps.
I was there too, with my grown son. This is my miracle year-- I rose to the top of the season ticket list after eight years, completely unexpectedly, and my wonderful wife agreed to put the ticket fee on the emergency credit card. The whole point of course was that the Cubs were going to be good this year, and then for a while, so to get season tickets with the guaranteed shot at the postseason was incredible timing. We got to the remote lot at 4:10 after stopping at Nhu Lan for our usual banh mi sandwiches, only to find the lot full, way earlier than normal.
Wrigley was electric tonite
Not many card fans
Video board was great, they played "there goes my hero" by foos over ryno highlights before he came out. Spectacular
Good times hopefully they win tomorrow but think Lester will beat poopy pants on Wednesday.
Happy 4th anniversary of Theo's signing
Go Cubs !
Yeah. "Goodbye!" is a lame HR call.
I miss Len and JD -- although, driving home from a friend's, WBBM played all 6 HR calls in a row -- and Len got to call the Bryant/Rizzo back-to-back. Very fun.
Lackey has been a beast against us. His stats on 3 days rest, however, not as nice. There is plenty of hope.
And, no dreadlocks grown yet.
Captain Obvious Strikes Again!!!
Amen, brother.

Oregon's wine industry is raising concerns about oversupply, as the state continues to expand grape production while wine sales drop.
Oregon wine sales were down 5% in volume in 2009 from the year before. Oregon wines tend to be more expensive, which make them less attractive to distributors.

A California woman apparently so envied the glitz and glamour of young Hollywood stars that she quite literally stole their looks.
Rachel J. Lee, 19, arrested along with several other women Thursday in a sting operation, is believed to be the mastermind behind recent break-ins at the homes of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Patridge and Orlando Bloom, a source close to the case tells PEOPLE.
Described as having an obsessive fascination with celebrity fashion, Lee and her accomplices easily located the addresses of celebrities using Hollywood star maps and the Internet, and calculated when the stars wouldn't be home based on their appearance schedules.

Done from a photograph located on the web...taken on Canada Day in Ottawa, Ontario Canada.
I was born and raised in Huntsville, Ontario and moved to Ottawa as a young adult. Married for more than 40 years now; 3 sons, 3 daughter-in-laws, 5 grandsons and 3 granddaughters! As a young girl I remember receiving a paint-by-number for Christmas one year and spent almost every free moment working at it until it was completed...and of course that was on the top of the list the following year. It wasn't until some 5 decades later that I began taking some tole painting classes at night school. My real excitement for painting began the first time I tried to paint from a photo of our two grandsons ... I was so thrilled to see it actually looked like them (well, from behind...no faces involved)...I haven't really stopped working...

The nVidia driver actually greyed out and prevents you from selecting the nVidia GPU for apps in it's known-list. Firefox and Chrome are on the list of programs that can only use the Intel GPU. You can always copy Firefox.exe to Firefox2.exe and then it's not on the known-list. You can browse to it from the nVidia control panel thing, then set that to use the nVidia GPU. Unfortunately, it tends to crash the whole OS a lot if you do that, which seems pretty ridiculous. I tried both Firefox and Chrome and eventually gave up and left them on the Intel GPU.

Australian junior chases Rocky Mountain oil and natural gas high
By Christine Forster | November 21, 2014 12:01 AM Comments (2)
A small Australian upstream company, with the appropriate name of American Patriot Oil and Gas, is hoping to achieve what several of its peers have been unable to do: turn a little into a lot in the US market.
American Patriot's business model is simple, yet crucially different from that pursued by some other small Australian companies that have burned through their own capital trying to make a go of it in US conventional and unconventional oil and gas, according to the company's CEO Alexis Clark.
Building gas power plants: Investment or speculation?
By Peter Maloney | October 23, 2012 10:18 AM Comments (1)
Bankers' memories are likely to be tested by the current power generation market.
While discussing the challenging outlook for financing new power plants during a recent conference in New York, Carl Williams, a principal at Riverstone Holdings, harkened back to 1998-2001 when a sudden surge in building new generation fired by natural gas resulted in the addition of 70 GW to the grid. But rather than scaling back, developers – and the bankers who funded them – continued the build-out, adding another 105 GW between 2001 and 2003, the equivalent of replacing the entire capacity of the PJM Interconnection, Williams noted.
Renewables developers begin to look beyond tax credits
By Peter Maloney | June 29, 2012 03:54 PM Comments (0)
Some people would say that developers of renewable energy projects are optimists. A rosy outlook would certainly be helpful in an environment in which low natural gas prices are challenging the push toward the Holy Grail of renewable energy, reaching price parity with fossil fuel-fired generation.
That alone could be enough to dim the outlook of a US renewable energy developer, without the added concerns of a tighter banking climate brought about by more restrictive capital requirements and legislative gridlock over renewable incentives such as the production tax credit, which expires at the end of the year.
Forget Solyndra: The bigger picture of Obama's 1705 and 1603 programs is California's RPS
By Jeff Ryser | June 26, 2012 12:38 PM Comments (0)
The name Solyndra has a certain sizzle for those who happen to reside on one of the two ends of the political spectrum.
Very generally put, anti-renewable, right-leaning Republicans utter the name with a certain salaciousness as it connotes to them "crony capitalism."
Left-leaning Democrats often blanch at the utterance of the name, but insist Solyndra–and its loss of $530 million in tax payer loans–was the cost of the government stimulating renewables needed to fight climate change.

It may not have been historic, but 2011 was big for CFTC
By Brian Scheid | December 28, 2011 09:13 AM Comments (1)
It's hard to say with a straight face that 2011 for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission was truly historic.
The idea of historians a century from now breathlessly discussing the debate over the federal commodity position limits regime or a new market manipulation standard may seem downright absurd.
