With Dubai mega-developer Emaar expanding far beyond its all-too-famous Burj Dubai, we look at some of its giant footprints around the world.
October 5, 2008 6:01 by kippreport
Last but not least, the Burj itself. The top of the world's tallest structure is pictured here in a breathtaking snap taken earlier this year. Currently over 688 meters high, Emaar still has not gone on record revealing the tower's planned final height. Delays being the norm in Dubai, it will also not be finished by the end of 2008 as initially hoped, as construction is about nine months behind schedule. With a total price tag of $20bn for the entire development – including the surrounding hotels and residential buildings – the tower is currently scheduled to open in September 2009.

Internationally famous oceanographer Steve Zissou (Bill Murray) and his crew -- Team Zissou -- set sail on an expedition to hunt down the mysterious, elusive, possibly nonexistent Jaguar Shark that killed Zissou's partner during the documentary filming of their latest adventure. They are joined on their voyage by a young airline co-pilot, who may or may not be Zissou's son (Owen Wilson), a beautiful journalist (Cate Blanchett) assigned to write a profile of Zissou, and his estranged wife and co-producer, Eleanor (Anjelica Huston). They face overwhelming complications including pirates, kidnapping, and bankruptcy. Oscar(R)-nominated writer-director Wes Anderson (2001 Best Original Screenplay, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS) has assembled an all-star cast that also includes Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Michael Gambon, Noah Taylor, and Bud Cort in this wildly original adventure-comedy.

Beads of Courage 2012
The Beads of Courage Program helps patients at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital's Center for Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders document and share their journey through the maze of childhood illness and treatment. Each bead represents a very specific event, from a chemotherapy treatment to a pet therapy visit to a needle stick, and everything in between. Every Beads of Courage strand is unique. The program, launched in 2010, is sponsored by Maureen's Hope Foundation. For a photo album, visit http://on.fb.me/GW8ZHP.

Hi Ariel, this is another that I already know and love! In fact, for a couple of weeks now I've been tormented by the idea of a followup story involving Sam finding out by hearing Frodo talk in a fever dream.

"Routine preoperative testing is not recommended for patients undergoing cataract surgery, because testing neither decreases adverse events nor improves outcomes. Preoperative testing before cataract surgery occurred frequently and was more strongly associated with provider practice patterns than with patient characteristics. Furthermore, the results showed no difference in the prevalence of testing as compared with 20 years ago, before the introduction of guidelines stating that routine properative testing for cataract surgery was not necessary.

Should patients stop taking aspirin for primary prevention?by jmiller on April 10, 2015
"Based on the current available evidence, the US Food and Drug Administration recently issued a Consumer Update that does not support aspirin for primary prevention and warns patients about the risk of serious bleeding complications. Moreover, current guidelines and consensus panels for aspirin in primary prevention differ from one another, making it challenging for clinicians to determine which patients would benefit. One message is clear in the most current clinical guidelines, namely, that routine use of aspirin for primary prevention is not recommended." (Cleve Clin J, April) Click here to read full-text.

Decker smacked two crucial home runs Friday and the San Antonio Missions sealed a 5-3 win over the Frisco RoughRiders in the Texas League South Division finals.
San Antonio took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-5 series, which resumes Saturday in Friday.
The Missions were locked in a 1-1 tie through three innings when Decker stepped up in the fourth and pulled a one-out solo shot off starter Carlos Pimentel, who didn't make it into the fifth.
Decker, who also doubled in a run in a Game 1 win on Wednesday, was far from done. With the game deadlocked, 3-3, after seven innings, the 24-year-old designated hitter smacked an opposite-field solo shot off reliever Richard Bleier (0-1).
Decker batted .237 with 13 longballs and 38 RBIs in 49 games during an injury-riddled regular season. The Padres' 22nd-round pick in the 2009 Draft had just one multi-homer game this year, going deep twice and driving in six runs against Northwest Arkansas on April 15.
Teammmate Jaff Decker chipped in a pair of RBI singles for the Missions, who won the division in both halves of the season.
San Antonio starter Casey Kelly, the Padres' No. 1 prospect, allowed two runs on six hits over six innings. He walked four, struck out two and threw 87 pitches.
In other Texas League action
Naturals 3, Travelers 1
Northwest Arkansas stayed alive, thanks to starter Mario Santiago (1-0), who limited Arkansas to one run on four hits over six innings. Jamie Romak, Tim Smith and Wil Myers, the Royals' No. 1 prospect, plated runs to help the Naturals avoid a sweep. Gameday box score

Ammo Grrrll has a short course on the natural history of WEASEL WORDS. She writes: Any living language can mutate.

It feels like we have had to wait too long for relief by Ammo Grrrll this week. She arrives just in time with THE THRIFTY TEXAN.

I used 3 IIIF , 1 IIIC and they were the most excellent viewfinders and fastest focusing and damn sharp. Never vibrates and when you hold one , it stays definetely horizontal. Years later I bought a Leica Minizoom and its viewfinder is 40 years more modern but terrible. I dont know how but you will see that viewfinder will increase your photographs quality. Beware from russian ones , its very hard to focus.
Dont buy a Leica without touching and checking it. Or buy from somewhere with background.

Chef's Table event space and restaurant coming to Walker's Point
David Magnasco, the executive chef at the Milwaukee Club, is planning an event space at 500 S. 3rd St. called the Chef's Table that also will be open to the public once a month for multicourse dinners.
The 100-year-old brick building will house the restaurant on the first floor, and the second floor will be home to Magnasco and his wife, Julia, executive director of First Stage children's theater, and their 3-year-old daughter, Maddalena. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Street party at Burnhearts benefits Bay View neighborhoods
They'll be dancing in the streets from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday outside Burnhearts, 2599 S. Logan Ave. No worries: They've been doing this for six years. They've got it down. The idea is to raise funds for the Bay View Neighborhood Association.
Restaurants Honey Pie and Classic Slice will be selling food, and there will be an art and craft fair with goods from local artists, plus live screenpainting with Redwall. Braid, Mama Digdown's Brass Band and the Championship will provide the music. DJ WHY B will be on hand. »Read Full Article
Artists turn Fond du Lac Ave. into their canvas
In 1842, Johnsons Park was a farm where escaped slave Caroline Quarlls stayed, marking the start of the Underground Railroad in the area. A century after that pocket of the city harbored slaves seeking freedom, and a generation after homes in the neighborhood were razed to make way for a freeway, dislocation remains an ongoing issue for many living and working in and around a swath of Fond du Lac Ave., according to the organizers of a community-driven, yearlong public art project.
The public art initiative along 20 blocks of Fond du Lac Ave., between N. 17th and 37th streets, is designed to help Milwaukeeans rediscover this once vital artery and its history while engaging with artists and each other. »Read Full Article

Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
All Milton, all the time...
- Foxsports's rumor mongering robot Robothal is hearing talks about a 3-way trade of Milton Bradley to the Blue Jays, Lyle Overbay to the Mets and Luis Castillo to the Cubs.
The three-team possibility, according to one source, has "some legs,
but not much." The Jays are opposed to the deal, one source says —
perhaps because new GM Alex Anthopolous does not want a trade for
Bradley to be his first major move.
Castillo is owed $6M each of the next two seasons, will be 34 next year has piss-poor UZR and Rate2 numbers the last few seasons and was the proud owner of a .337 wOBA(barely above average) last season thanks mostly to a .342 BABIP which isn't something he's shown he can repeat too often. So that's exciting...
But if the Cubs can indeed move the $21M owed Bradley for the $12M owed Castillo, well that becomes a no-brainer for the Cubs. Chances are they'll have to throw some cash which spins me right back to the not so exciting camp.
The same article says the Rays have been the heaviest pursuers of Bradley mentioning Pat Burrell again. Their salaries even out in 2010 according to Robothal, but Rays want Cubs to pay most of 2011 to relieve them of their headache.
- Bruce Levine chimed in earlier saying the Cubs have talked with Mets, Blue Jays, Rangers, Rays and Angels about Bradley. Levine reiterates that Rich Harden and Kevin Gregg are as good as gone, Cubs would like to resign John Grabow and Reed Johnson could be welcome back if he accepts a one year deal. He says the Cubs priorities are bullpen help, a leadoff hitter, center field and a veteran middle infielder...like Luis Castillo for example.
- Bruce Miles talked to Carlos Zambrano's agent and said he hasn't been approached about waving any no-trade clauses and thinks it's a "non-story". Talk with Hendry included glowing praise of Starlin Castro and that a deal for Bradley isn't close.
- For what it's worth, which isn't much...Billy Williams would like to salvage the Milton Bradley situation in Chicago.
- Finally, the Cubs did inquire about the Cuban lefty fireballer Aroldis Chapman, but "seem to be going in other, cheaper directions"
Otherwise, be sure you don't miss Arizona Phil's Top 15 prospect list for something with some substance over this rumor mongering.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
I think Ken Rosenthal reads MLB Traderumors just like the rest of the MLB fan nation. The guy is a Type A douche bag. The Bradley for Castillo move would at least uphold the theory of left-handed on-base and free up roughly $9 million over the next two years, as long as the Cubs do not have to eat money in return. Personally, if this deal has legs (and all indications are that it does not), this would probably be as good as it gets. I for one am not for a Pat Burrell for Milton Bradley swap. The Cubs do not need another high strikeout non-defensive left fielder on the roster. The Cubs would just be faced with a $9 million dollar bench player. It is reported too that the Rays would want the Cubs to pick up the majority of Bradley's contract for '11, which the Cubs would almost be better off just rolling with the punches and see if he works out next year or creates a market for himself at all.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
"The guy is a Type A douche bag."
What has he done to you?
MLB "Traderumors" is basically a re-hash, and re-packaging site. Talk about "douche-bags", DIRTBAG.
No original "rumors" other than what they pick up from other feeds.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
at least they source their stuff now rather than pretending like they're scooping stuff...
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
I apologize if I offended the one Ken Rosenthal apologist in the room. As always, I appreciate a clarification of the obvious. Keep up the good work. This site needs more John Madden-esque commentary. Cheers.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
"As always, I appreciate a clarification of the obvious. Keep up the good work. This site needs more John Madden-esque commentary. Cheers."
For a new poster, you are pretty insulting for no reason.
I didn't apologize for Rosenthal, only asked what he did to you, and what it was that you find so bothersome about him. You decided to turn this into an insult to me. Nice retort, you DIRTBAG.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
is this rumor burping?
Muskat tweets: Cubs GM Jim Hendry says Milton Bradley may be back in 2010, and called the outfielder's '09 season a "major hiccup"
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Tend to agree with that.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
hiccup, burp and a belch...
Muskat posts at cubs.com:
"Other people have had some major hiccups along the way and come back, and that's just how you have to look at it."
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
any truth to the rumor milton to the 30-60 day DL because of hiccups?
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Thanks, crunch! That gave me the grins.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
What about Derrek Lowe for Bradley? The Braves seem to think they have a starter to deal, and are probably wanting to get out of that contract.
The Cubs could then turn around and trade Wells and a prospect for a good young (pre-arb?) center fielder... Felix Pie? OK maybe someone with a little better track record like...Dexter Fowler?
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Hey, Castillo's career BABIP is .333. Why are we talking about .342 like it's a miraculous fluke?
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
castillo played with leg/hip injuries the past 2 years...and showed up out of shape to begin 2008...
he's still a pretty slick fielder, imo.
btw...im not even remotely a fan him coming here, fwiw.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
i'd be happy if someone came out and shot this rumor down. castillo is a guy that probably wouldn't hurt much, but i can't see much value into what he can add even at his best.
he's a singles hitter who's speed is on the decline at the plate without even getting into the D.
i actually think a baker/fontenot duo could be pretty damn adequate 2nd even though the team seems dead set on adding an IF'r.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
well awesome.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
DB mentioned the BABIP it in a previous post.
He's no sloth on the bases and if he can play passable defense and put up a .375 OBP he's going to be a real asset - right now we're looking at Colvin as our CF and leadoff hitter.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
OK, Fuld for two weeks until he's hurt, then Colvin.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
He's no sloth on the bases
You don't think he's a bit overrated as a base stealer? 20-6 last year, 17-2 the year before (that percentage is actually very good), 19-6 in 2007, 25-11 in 2006, 10-7 (!) in 2005, etc. Most seasons he's been caught stealing quite a bit, sometimes even with his CS approaching is SB (2005, 2003).
If they are dead set on selling low on Bradley, I'm not completely opposed to a Luis Castillo deal, mostly because I am a fan of OBP and he's at least decent in that department (or has been in the past). I'd feel a lot better about it if it was straight up with no cash exchange, though. I'd also feel better about it if it meant the end of Aaron Miles.

ROB G: 1B Brian Dopirak (by TOR), 3B Adam Heether (by MIL), RHP Juan Morillo (by MIN), and RHP Hayden Penn (by FLA), were added to 40-man rosters on Monday, just in front of the deadline for adding Rule 55 minor league free-agents to a 40-man roster by club selection. (Dopirak is currently leading the VWL in HR & RBI).
MLB will be releasing the list of Rule 55 minor league free-agents (Six-Year Minor League FAs) later this week.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
/hallucinogenics and rants
AZ Phil is awesome is my post preamble...
Luis Castillo and Mike Cameron, these are just the type of bullshit moves Hendry always makes. That's why he'll never be a premium GM and why the Cubs will never get to the WS with this fat douchebag at the helm.
How about mixing things up, Fat Boy? The Dodgers and Zambrano would make a perfect fit, make the big trade. Ask for Kemp or Ethier and a prospect. If they belch on taking on the size of that contract (unlikely, they have $$), take Furcal's contract off their hands, send them Theriot if need be. We only need a 1-2 year placeholder at SS anyway with all the young SS prospects the Cubs now have in the minors. One of them will work out....right??
Sure, I recognize a deal like this won't happen, but can't we have a big picture GM that at least PURSUES possibilities like this, for ONCE?
And yes I know Z has a NTC, but you gotta figure LA would be his number 1 choice if ever traded. National League so he hits. High profile team that is a winner. Big hispanic presence. Love big personality figures in la-la land. He'd be perfect for them, and I bet he knows it.
Count me in on the Bradley for Lowe talk, that would be great. Lowe had an off-year, you'd be buying low (he-he). He has a strong track record and has always pitched well at Wrigley FWIW.
Has Tampa really soured on BJ Upton? Really? How can the Cubs get this guy?
Billy Wagner, yes please. Lefty/righty 8/9 combo in Wagner and Marmol. Lefty/righty 6/7 combo in Grabow and Guzman. Lefty/righty middle relief in Marshall and Should Still Be Wuertz, But a Replacement Can Be Found, So Long as He's Not Named Aaron. What's wrong with that bullpen?
I bet the Cubs could get Kerry Wood back pretty easy. He's not a kid anymore, so there's no reason to baby him, if he breaks, he breaks, and I bet he accepts that at this stage. So why not make him a starting pitcher again? Lilly, Dempster, Wells, Lowe and Wood, yeah, I'd take my chances with that bunch.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
The Braves are pretty big on the character of the individual. Milton Bradley is like Kryptonite to that franchise, they wont touch him with a ten foot pole. You can bank on a Bradley for Lowe deal never ever happening. The Braves aren't going to trade a proven winner for a proven loser.
And for the Zambrano mouth breathers, you might want to stop hyper-ventilating and worry when he has a season with an ERA close to 5.00, rather than 4.00 before you want to give up on a 28 year old pitcher. Years 28-34 typically have pitchers enjoying their best runs. And you are not going to get no Matt Kemp or Andre Ethier for Zambrano, they want offensive production not another pitcher. Otherwise they would have just kept Derek Lowe.
BJ Upton is a possibility only because Tampa has the next big thing waiting in the minors for the OF and believe he can play now, so between Upton and Crawford one of them has to go. Only problem is Tampa is a notoriously tough negotiator. Be prepared to pay more than you want to get either one of them. They are a small market team so they want great prospects in return, something the Cubs can't offer, which puts us far off their radar in getting either one of them.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Lengthy interview with Kerry Wood by David Laurila from Baseball Prospectus:
DL: Are you a future pitching coach?
KW: I don't think so. I don't know if I have the patience. I don't think I could deal with 13 different personalities. Pitchers complain a lot.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
I so agree with Jim Hickman's Bat. If we're going to make some moves, we should go after championship level players...not players whose best days are behind them. For CF,Rowand,Granderson,Upton would all be significantly better options than Cameron. Re: 2B Castillo's best days are way, way behind him. The Marlins payroll next year is $36 million and they won't pay Uggla who would be an upgrade for us. I know his defense is suspect but has averaged 90 RBIs over the last 4 years in a very defensive ballpark. We have the trading chips in our minor league system to make some significant moves (thanks AZ Phil for the thumbnails). We also have lots of underperforming players (some with NT clauses) that Hendry should try to move anyway. It's time for Hendry to get bold and creative...unless he is satisfied with winning 83 games again next year.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
...unless he is satisfied with winning 83 games again next year.
That's the bitch of it. For too long, too many in the Cubs organization ARE satisfied with 83 win seasons. The fans are in the seats, the money flows, the "Wrigley Experience" continues, blah blah.....To hell with that, I'd watch them play in Comiskular if it meant a goddamn winner for once. Anything less than a WS title is total BS, and any GM that doesn't have that philosophy is a worthless POS in my book.
Armchair GM
The items you discuss would be great IF the team did not have the back-loaded contracts it is saddled with making them unmovable.
Take Z off the staff, and you are left with a rotation barely in the middle of the NL pack, and it would put even more wear and tear on the pen.
The payroll is not going up, and if you were another GM, knowing that as fact, how the hell is Hendry going to get out of the hole he created?
What prospects from the Cubs farm team would you be interested in getting back for the names you suggest?
As armchair GM, the Jim Hickman's Bat guy's rant is fine. In the real world, it just will not make sense under the current scenario.
Re: Armchair GM
Take Z off the staff, you could replace him with another #3 starter EASILY and you are left with a rotation equivalent to what it was last year. He averaged pretty much exactly six innings per start, which is it self putting plenty of strain on the bullpen. With his contract, this guy is VERY replaceable.
Re: Armchair GM
"With his contract, this guy is VERY replaceable."
I think it's his contract that would make him hard to replace.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
With many of our mainstay players such as Lee, Aram, Fukudome, Theriot, Soriano, Dempster and Lilly all on the wrong side of 30, this team has a narrow window of opportunity to win. With the exception of Cashner and Castro, we should be willing to part with any of our other prospects in order to obtain the kind of players who can get us to the playoffs and WS. Why not? I am not ready to settle for another 100 years of futility. Hendry is an idiot if he thinks that this team will win with just some minor tweaking. Our record against winning teams is awful. Compare our lineup to LA or Philly and I'm sure you'll agree that we just don't measure up. Under the current economic conditions many small market teams need to cut payroll and we should take advantage of that. I am tired of hearing about BS players like Cameron and Castillo whose best days are long gone. It's time to make some significant changes. Let's see if Hendry and Ricketts have the balls to do it.
Bradley to Rangers
Levine says the Rangers are talking to Hendry. Kevin Millwood is a possibility.
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
It's lunchtime at the GM meetings.
Jon Heyman (SI) tweets:
milton bradley's "like oddball kid in class" with #cubs teammates. "no way he can go back," source says.
some of these milton bradley rumors are wild. but he has to go somewhere. word is, many #cubs stars wont even talk to him.
on THE SCORE, Heyman elaborates that Zambrano, Ramirez, and Soriano generally just don't talk to him. They avoid him.

Heard the same.
Also Boers is changing his tune on cutting Bradley.
I reported right at the end of the seaoson that his "Cubs insider" told him no way Cubs would eat Bradley's contract.
Now they are saying Ricketts will eat the contract if there are no other avenues.
Cubs cut Bradley come March, no one signs him do they just have to pay him 2010 money or the whole contract at once?
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Yeah, but I think because we found out doesn't mean that the league guys already knew or sensed it.
Re: Robothal blog
How could a team, with a straight face say "Well, who is going to pay for it if we give Milton Bradley 600 PA's?". I obviously don't have the temperment to be a GM.
Re: Rogers Tweets
Hopefully his contract will paralyze the front office for the entire off-season.. or maybe we will decide to keep him, then have him speak at the Cubs Convention, only to be booed so severly that Hendry will decide he has to trade him again before the season starts.
That would be smart.
Grain of Salt Alert
Boers also said his insider told him that Bradley was an "actively evil influence in the clubhouse."
Re: Cubs Rumor Round-Up: Bradley 3-Way, Chapman & More
Hopefully Hendry can backload a deal for a 30 something outfielder coming off of a career year to replace Bradley

BLOCK: Of course any advantage is an advantage. An MLB, NBA, or NHL team getting the extra game at home in a seven game series is an advantage, I just don't think it is enough of an advantage for winning a division and/or having the best record in a conference or league over the course of an 82-game season (NBA and NHL) or 162 game series (MLB).
TEX takes the opening game from TOR (@TOR) 5-3.
TOR lost bautista + donaldson in-game due to injuries...TEX lost beltre...dunno if any will be lingering issues leading to missed games.

I support this. Hendricks has not only looked better lately but seems to start struggling after a few innings which is better than the 1st in the playoffs.
Just tweeted via Jesse Rogers: Hendricks starting Game 2. Wow. Just wow.
That was good!
Well said. On one hand, I thought the HBP was a bad baseball play -- down 4 runs, put a runner on for a red-hot Fowler. On the other hand, they needed to do something -- I hadn't thought about the warning/pitching inside point. Is Hurdle that smart? He does not strike me that way. By the way -- not clear which fan base you are referring to in your "first" 3rd point.
My unsolicited opinions on topics covered in this thread:
1. I hate the fact that after 162 games, a team could be out after 1 game. However, I think the system is pretty close to perfect right now. 2 of 3 isn't feasible unless they shorten the regular season, and it ices the division winners for way too long. This creates excitement, and rewards the division winners.
Personally, I think the game could have had a very different look had the Pirates held onto the ball and tagged Fowler out on the steal in the first. Cole was clearly frazzled, but if they took that runner off the base, it could have relaxed him a lot.
Football games are played once a week. There are 16 games a year. I'm not even remotely following at all how you can compare the two leagues and playoff systems. It is physically impossible to play a home and away series. The idea of not having any road games in baseball playoffs is certainly a head scratcher.
How is not having the first and last game at home a benefit for the division winners and team with the best record? How is it not an incentive to win the division when a WC team has to blow their top pitcher?
Call me lost.
Two 97+ win teams in a do-or-die, great bullpens, overpowering starters, plenty of pop--hard to believe that game wouldn't be tense. A 4-0 lead is not a blowout, especially in that situation and with the Cubs' young bullpen. Not only would a defensive play here or there make a difference, but you get the win there also on the home plate umps strike zone (generous strike calls for Arrieta, including a couple Ks), and on Schwarber sitting on the right pitch at the right time.

Snakes alive
Tim Dunaway of Purvis was toolin' down the highway headed home from work, cruise set at 75 in a 65 zone – no worry in the world, except that some Mississippi State Highway Patrol trooper might be having a bad day.
Then the tail of what looked like a 4-foot cottonmouth water moccasin slipped from under the dash and dangled down between his legs. Suddenly, the presence of a state trooper didn't seem such a bad thing.
But before Tim could say "scat," he realized he should have been wearing Depends Undergarments.
"I screamed like a little girl," Tim admitted, "and got both feet on the seat as fast as I could. That's one time it helped to have little short legs. Still, I kept screaming like a girl and cussin' that snake the whole time."
"Tiny Tim" did keep some of his wits, however, so he knew he'd risk getting "fanged" if he dared brake his truck to a stop. He simply reached up and cut off the cruise control, then waited for the truck to come to rest.
He waited, and he waited. And he waited some more, all while the snake kept a visual on its next possible victim. Just for the heck of it, reckon what Tim would have done if a car had pulled out in front of him? Would he have risked getting struck by the snake to hit his brake?
"Not a snowball's chance!" he declared. "Heck no. If somebody had pulled out in front of me … they'd have just been hit. Lucky for them, nobody did, but it seemed like two hours before my truck ever came to a stop."
When it did, Tim bailed out. And with both doors open, he tried to coax the viper out.
Nothin' doin'. No deal. Hard-headed snake. It appeared to have made Tim's truck its home; won fair and square.
"I was still cussin' that snake and screaming like a girl," said Tim, who is an athletic sort of guy, or was, "but it ignored me."
After about 15 minutes, though, the snake finally grew weary of all the high-pitched, girlie shrills from Timid Timmy, so it slithered out the open door on its own accord. Then, and only then, did "Mr. Football," "Mr. Baseball," "Mr. Macho" Tim Dunaway realize he'd been scared almost to death by, and screaming like a cheerleader at, a harmless chicken snake.
Kinda lends a whole new meaning to the term "chicken" snake, don't it?
Actually, it took a lot of nerve to tell me this story. So Tim's not such a big chicken after all. But the story probably would never have surfaced had it not been for Tim's barber, Randy Anderson, and his associate, "Nat the Rat," who both told this tale to me.
"I used to have three people in life I thought I could trust," Dunaway whimpered. "That included my wife, my preacher and my barber. Now there are only two. I still trust the wife, and I'm glad my preacher's one I can trust, too, because I gotta' go see him and ask him to pray for me because of all the cussin' I did at that #&%# snake!"
On a serious note, I understand at least one little girl (not Tim) actually did get struck by a moccasin in South Mississippi recently. The critters are definitely on the move, for whatever reason. So be safe during your outdoor ventures, and keep an eye on the ground.
Oh, and don't do like Tim and leave your vehicle door open as an invitation. Your intruder might not be a harmless chicken snake.
