1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an apparatus or diagnosing inflammatory conditions in connection with periodontitle, and the invention also involves a process for such diagnosis.
2. Description of Related Art
The loosening of teeth (periodontitis) is a bacterially caused inflammation in the attachment apparatus of the tooth (periodontium) which, if left untreated results in decomposition of the bone around the tooth (resorption) and of the tooth loosening its anchorage, the anchorage being ultimately lost. Periodontitis shall primarily be prevented by good oral hygiene but may also, after being established, be treated. This treatment will mainly be directed to interrupt the progress of the disease.
Practically all adults are to a greater or lesser degree subjected to the disease, and approximately 10% of the population in the industrialized world develop severe periodontitis resulting in partial or total loss of the teeth.
Periodontitis is initially a disease which to the patient lacks symptoms. However, the dentist can see early signs of an incipient disease development. The gum around the teeth become red, swollen and bleed easily, i.e. show signs of an inflammation. Simultaneously the pocket between tooth and gum will be subject to increased depth. In this pocket additional bacteria will accumulate and proliferate (plaque). Gradually the bacteria will calcify and calculus will form on the teeth. Synchronously with the formation of plaque the inflamation spreads in the attachment apparatus of the tooth and the bone surrounding the root of the tooth starts to decompose.
The methods available to the dentist to diagnose periodontitis is measuring the depth of the periodontal pocket around the tooth and registering the tendency for bleeding connection herewith. However, this does not give a full measure of the degree of inflamation in the attachment apparatus of the tooth. Above all these measures give little guidance for judging how the disease will develop. They rather reflect what has already taken place.
One of the greatest problem in the treatment of periodontitis is to be able to predict around what teeth the periodontitis activity will increase. It has been found that the loss of supporting tissue around the teeth in periodontitis fluctuates, i.e. periods of low disease activity succeed periods of high activity. Early signs of this can be seen in the degree of inflammation in the environment of the teeth. An incipient increase of the degree of inflammation should be treated as soon as possible in order to save as much as possible of the anchorage of the tooth. The traditional methods (depth of periodontal pocket and bleeding tendency) in order to estimate this condition are not reliable. A deep periodontal pocket does not necessarily mean that the periodontal process is active. A healing process may have started in the same manner a shallow periodontal pocket may not mean that the periodontal disease is inactive. Also a deep pocket has once been shallow and it is very important to be able to predict which periodontal pockets are subject to deepening.
The cardinal symptoms of a topical inflammatory condition is calor (temperature increase), dolor (pain), rubor (redness) and tumor (swelling). Out of these the redness (bleeding in the periodontal pocket) and the swelling (in combination with decomposition of alveolar bone, i.e. measuring depth of periodontal pocket) have traditionally been used to diagnose periodontitis. However, these symptoms of periodontitis are not reliable measures for estimating the activity of the disease. Furthermore, it is not possible to estimate bleeding quantitatively. These traditional methods, measuring of pocket depth and bleeding tendency, to judge the activity of the periodontal process often give misleading results, particularly in an early stage of an active period. A deep periodontal pocket which is bleeding does not always mean that the process is active.
The use of temperature as a measurement for the activity of periodontitis is based on the fact that an inflammatory process in view of increased flow of blood results in an early temperature increase (before the depth of the periodontal pocket has increased). However, in the mouth the temperature varies between different areas. The gum is warmer the deeper in the oral cavity the measurement le made (32� C. to 37� C.). An absolute temperature scale to estimate the degree of inflammation is thus not possible to define. However, the surface temperature in the opening of the periodontal pocket is not affected by a possible inflammation at the bottom the periodontal pocket.
The present invention has for an object to provide an apparatus by means of which inflammatory conditions in connection with periodontitis can be diagnosed in a simple and reliable manner.
Another object of the invention is to provide a process for diagnosing the degree of inflammatory condition connection with periodontitis, which process is based on an estimation of the exterior conditions around a so called periodontal pocket.
For these and other objects which will be clear from the following disclosure the invention provides for an apparatus for diagnosing periodontitis in view of its inflammatory aspect, said apparatus comprising means for measuring and recording temperature in connection with a periodontal pocket. The apparatus for such diagnosis is provided with a measuring means with a graduated scale for measuring the depth of the periodontal pocket and in association herewith also provided with means for measuring and recording the temperature difference between the bottom and the mouth of the periodontal pocket.
The apparatus means for temperature measurement suitably constituted by a probe which is connected to the measuring means in such a manner that the depth of the periodontal pocket can be recorded in connection with measuring the temperature at its bottom.
The temperature sensor or transducer, which is suitably positioned at the free end of the probe, can be of different types, of which examples are thermoelements, thermistors, semiconductor diodes and resistance transducers.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the apparatus according to the present invention the probe and the measuring means are assembled to one unit. In an alternative embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention said means for temperature measurement may comprise a probe with two transducers displacable relative to each other, the apparatus also including a measuring means with a graduated scale for measuring the depth of the periodontal pocket. One end of the probe being permanently connected to the measuring means at its free end, whereas the other transducer is movable along the scale so that the temperature difference between the bottom and the mouth of the periodontal pocket can be registered at the same time as the pocket depth is measured.
It is obvious for a man skilled in the art that the temperature simultaneously can be monitored at various levels of a tooth pocket by an array of sensors, or transducers.
The invention also provides for process for diagnosing inflammatory conditions in connection with periodontitis, said process being based on considering the exterior conditions around a so called periodontal pocket. This process comprises the steps:
a) measuring the depth of the periodontal pocket, i.e. the distance between the bottom and the mouth of the pocket;
b) measuring the temperature difference between the bottom and mouth of the periodontal pocket; and
c) determining-the degree and development of the periodontitis in dependence of the parameters measured under step a) and step b).
In connection with the techniques according to the present invention it can be generally said that a temperature increase at the bottom of the periodontal pocket, more precisely a temperature difference of more than about 0.5� C. between the mouth and bottom of the periodontal pocket, constitutes an early sign of the fact that the periodontal process is entering an active stage. A temperature difference of more than about 1� C. shows that the process is established. The present invention thus provides for reliable diagnostic techniques which are based on simultaneous measurement of the temperature difference between the bottom and the mouth of the pocket and the depth of the pocket, and through said techniques one may thus verify whether the periodontal process resides in an active stage and whether said process is established.
The invention will in the following be further described by non-limiting examples in conjunction with the appended drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 shows diagramatically the construction of an apparatus according to the present invention with its auxiliary equipment;
FIG. 2 shows diagramatically the measuring transducer with associated probe;
FIG. 3 shows on a larger scale the distal probe part of the measuring transducer;
FIG. 4 shows diagrammatically a scheme on another embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 5 shows more in detail the display unit of the embodiment of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 shows a diagram on the development of periodontitis over time as a function of the temperature difference between the bottom and the mouth of the periodontal pocket; and
FIG. 7 shows a corresponding diagram including the result of hygiene treatment.
FIG. 1 shows diagrammatically the structure of the instrument in the form of a block diagram. In principle, the instrument consists of a manually held measuring transducer 1, which via a cable is connected to a recording unit consisting of an amplifier with filter 3, computer 5, display 7, printer 9 and a device 11 for voltage supply. In the amplifying unit 3 the amplification is adjusted in such a manner that a suitable signal size is obtained to computer 5. Said computer 5 is of a conventional type and can be constituted for example by a Zilog Z80 with associated operational circuits and programable memory. In this non-limiting example there has been chosen as a display 7 a liquid crystal display, since such device consume substantially less energy than a corresponding display of the light emitting diode type. If, however, the instrument is directly mains-connected this latter type of better readability can advantageously be used.
The voltage supply unit 11 may consist of a rechargable system with nickel-cadmium cells and associated charger. However, the instrument may also be connected directly to the mains. In both cases the voltage unit contains suitably arranged control circuits stabilizing the voltage through the other part of the electronic equipment.
In FIGS. 2 and 3 the manually held measuring probe 1 is shown more in detail. The measuring probe 1 in principle consists of a probe 13 attached to a handle 15 and the free distal end 17 which is shown in enlargement in FIG. 3. This free end 17 is at its tip provided with a temperature sensor or transducer 19 which through electrically leading cables 21 is connected with the recording unit of the instrument as described in connection with FIG. 1. The free end 17 of the probe 13 is further provided with markings 23 enabling measurement of the depth of the periodontal pocket.
According to FIG. 2 the measuring probe is provided with a switch for activating the instrument.
The function of the instrument described is briefly the following.
The measuring probe 1 is placed with the free end 17 of probe 13 placed in the periodontal pocket which is subject to diagnosis, sensor or transducer 19 being positioned adjacent to the bottom of the pocket. The electronics are then activated by means of a switch 25. The temperature which is registered at the bottom of the periodontal pocket is measured by the computer, and when the signal has been stabilized the level is recorded and the operator is correspondingly informed for example by a short sound signal. The measured value can then as the case may be be registered with printer 9.
Then the measuring probe 13 with its free end 17 and sensor or transducer 19 is moved to the mouth of the periodental pocket and the measuring procedure is repeated. By means of computer 5 the difference between the two temperatures measured is now calculated, said difference being shown on the display 7 of the instrument and may also be registered by printer 9.
In connection with measuring the temperature at the bottom of the periodental pocket also the depth of said pocket is measured by means of the scale or marking 23.
By correlating the temperature difference measured and the depth of the periodontal pocket information whether the periodental process is moving into an active stage and whether the process is established will be obtained in a simple manner. In accordance with the result obtained a suitable treatment regime can then be instituted.
In an alternative embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention the means for temperature measurement may comprise a probe 13 with two transducers 19,19' displaceable relative to each other. The apparatus also includes a measuring means with a graduated scale 23 for measuring the depth of the periodonal pocket, one end of the probe being permanently connected to the measuring means at its free end, whereas the other transducer 19' is movable alone the scale so that the temperature difference between the bottom and the mouth of the periodontal pocket can be registered at the same time as the pocket depth is measured.
The block diagram in FIG. 4 shows another preferred embodiment of the apparatus according to the present invention of the apparatus according to the present invention. The temperature probe with its sensor 31 is connected via a cable to an electronic unit 32 consisting of an amplifier with filter, computer and power supply. The temperature probe has a build-in-activator for registration of eventual bleeding in the tooth pocket. The display 33 unit as shown in FIG. 5 is connected via a cable to the electronic unit. The display has two groups 40,41 of figures. One 40 for indication of the number of the tooth and another 41 for the display of the temperature difference between the mouth of the periodontal pocket and the bottom. Furthermore, there is an array of indicators to show the position in the tooth pocket and a reset-switch 42 to be able to start the measurements from the beginning. The registration of the temperature is activated by a footswitch 34.
As seen in FIG. 4 a remote display 35 and/or a printer 36 is also available to connect to the electronic unit.
The measuring procedure is as follows:
1. Press the "reset" button.
2. The probe 31 is placed into the bottom of the tooth pocket.
3. Activate the footswitch 34.
4. When a low frequency signal is heard the measurement procedure is completed.
5. Move to the mouth of the tooth pocket.
6. Activate the footswitch 34.
7. When the measuring period is completed a high frequency signal is heard.
8. The display shows the temperature difference and the indicator moves automatically to the next measuring site.
Registration of bleeding can be performed for the measured position by activating the probe. An indication 43 will appear on the display.
The advantage with this embodiment is that the probe could be held more firmly since the measurement is activated by the footswitch.
FIG. 6 shows registrations of the initial temperature difference between the bottom and the mouth (td) of 30 periodontal pocket at the initial stage 30 periodontal pockets distributed among 4 patients and the subsequent change in anchorage of the tooth at the respective periodontal pocket measured after five months (ad). The teeth around which the registrations have been made have all diagnosed periodontitis. A positive value of ad means that the attachment has increased, whereas a negative value means loss of attachment, i.e. the periodontitis has progressed. Values of td <0.5� C. in the initial stage are seen only for periodontal pockets where a gain or no change of the attachment of the tooth has been registered. Average ad in the range is 0.46 mm, i.e. a gain of attachment. Values of td ≦0.5� C. but <1.0� C. have often resulted in a loss of tooth attachment. Average fd in said range is -1.00 mm. The most serious losses of tooth attachment are seen for td ≧1.0� C. having an average ad in the range of -2.75 mm, i.e. the periodontitis has developed.
FIG. 7 shows registrations of the initial temperature difference between the bottom and the mouth of 35 periodontal pockets (td) distributed among 6 patients and the subsequent change in anchorage of the tooth at the respective peridontal pocket (ad) measured after 2 months. Only periodontal pockets with a temperature difference of more than 0.5� C. (td >0.5� C.) were selected. After registration of td, they were given hygiene treatment with subgingival scaling. After 2 months change in periodontal anchorage was registered (ad). By the treatment these periodontal pockets, which would have lost periodontal attachment according to Example 3 because of active periodontitis as Indicated by td >0.5� C. instead gained or maintained their original level of anchorage, as an average ad =0.77 mm.

Observations of domain walls in Ni-Fe films as a function of thickness demonstrate the strong influence of magnetic stray fields on the wall structure, hence on the coercivity for wall motion. In order to reduce the stray-field energy, the Bloch walls in films thicker than 1000 A are subdivided into sections with alternating polarity which are separated by Bloch lines. In thinner films, the domain walls are of the Néel type. The position of Bloch lines in such walls is indicated by crosswalls. The motion of Bloch lines in an applied field can be observed particularly easily on scratches in negative magnetostrictive material; such scratches display properties corresponding to Néel walls. Crosswalls are also present at the ends of domains and around holes in the film material. A crosswall is distinguished from ordinary domain walls by the continuous change of the angle of magnetization along both sides of it.

Chapman lighting up jugs gun in record figures
Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman had the Yankee Stadium crowd ooing and ahhing in the ninth inning of Monday night's 2-1 victory over the Orioles as he threw the five fastest pitches ever tracked by MLB Statcast. They ranged in speeds of 104.0 to 105.1 miles per hour.
Chapman's 105.1-mph fastball, on the sixth pitch to J.J. Hardy, matched his major-league-record 105.1-mph fastball that was clocked by FanGraphs' PITCHf/x Sept. 24, 2010 with the Reds against the Padres at San Diego's Petco Park. Statcast reports that Chapman has a majors-leading 217 pitches of at least 100 mph this season. The next most is 73 by the Braves' Mauricio Cabrera. According to Statcast, 46.1 percent of Chapman's 471 total pitches have hit triple digits.
One of Chapman's No Runs DMC partners, Andrew Miller, had his franchise record streak of consecutive relief appearances with at least one strikeout end at 28, the longest by a major-league reliever since the Indians' Cody Allen had 29 in a row from Sept. 29 through July 8 last year.
Miller pitched the eighth inning Monday night and retired Manny Machado on a tap to the mound, gave up a single to right-center by Mark Trumbo and got Matt Wieters on a 6-4-3 double play. The DP may be a pitcher's best friend, but in this case it cost Miller a chance to extend his streak. He will just have to start a new one.
The trio of Chapman, Miller and Dellin Betances has combined for a 2.02 ERA with 26 walks and 191 strikeouts in 15 2/3 innings.
The Yankees are 18-1 when all three pitch in the same game. In those 19 games, No Runs DMC has teamed to post a 1.21 ERA with 16 walks and 90 strikeouts in 59 1/3 innings and held hitters to a .138 batting average in 203 at-bats.
Carlos Beltran went 3-for-4 Monday night, his ninth game this season with at least three hits. He has had three such games in his past 10 games and six his past past 24. Beltran has a slash line of .379/.419/.552 (33- for-87) with 10 runs, six doubles my three home runs, 14 RBI, five walks and a hit by pitch in 24 games and 87 at-bats since April 20.
One off Beltran's three hits Monday night was a double, career No. 523 to tie Hall of Famer Willie Mays for 45th place on the all- time list. Next up at 524 is Ken Griffey Jr., who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this coming weekend. In 43rd place at 525 is yet another Hall of Famer, Ted Williams. Beltran has 15 seasons with at least 20 doubles, which is tied with Chili Davis for fifth most by a switch hitter in the modern era. The only switch hitters with more such seasons are Eddie Murray (20), Chipper Jones and Pete Rose (18 each) and Roberto Alomar (16).
Alex Rodriguez's ninth home run of the season and 696th of his career was his 1,758th hit with the Yankees, which broke a tie with Wally Pipp for 17th place on the franchise's career hit list. A-Rod has 69 career home runs against the Orioles, his second most against any opponent, topped only by the 70 he has slugged against the Angels.
Nathan Eovaldi, back in the rotation to start Tuesday night, is averaging 97.1 mph on his fastball this season, according to FanGraphs' PITCHf/x, which is the highest average velocity in the American League and the second highest in the majors only to the Mets' Noah Syndergaard (98.1). Eovaldi earned his way back into the rotation by pitching 7 2/3 scoreless innings in three relief outings.
Matsui, Cone put on show at Old Timer's Day
At the annual Yankees Homecoming Dinner this April in which Hideki Matsui was honored for his career he told a story about when he was playing in Japan and was asked if he thought he could compete in the United States.
He told a reporter that he had seen a game in which David Cone was pitching and said, "I can hit that."
Cone and Matsui have been teasing each other over that for years. So it was inevitable that there would be a confrontation between them. What better environment than Old Timer's Day, the 70th version of which was celebrated Sunday?
Cone came into the game specifically to pitch to Matsui. The first pitch was over the Japanese slugger's head. The next delivery was what has become an annual grooved special by Cone in Old Timer's Day games, right down Broadway, and Matsui jumped all over it and drove it into the second deck in right field.
Cone feigned surprise and embarrassment. Truth be told, it is all an act. Cone knows what the fans want to see on Old Timer's Day, and that is not a pitcher burning it in to every batter and striking everybody out. I once asked the Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Gibson why he seldom took part in Old Timer's games, and he told me that all they want is for the pitcher to put the ball over the plate so the hitters can mash it. Gibby was too competitive to play that kind of game.
Coney is a different cat. He knows Old Timer's games are entertainment, and he aims to please. A few years ago, he grooved a pitch to former teammate Tino Martinez, who went yard. Paul O'Neill also clipped Cone. Sunday was just Matsui's turn.
Scoring ahead of Matsui on his homer was Reggie Jackson, who had lined a single to left field in the prior at-bat off Scott Kamieniecki. I talked with Reggie Saturday after he spent about half an hour taking batting practice in the indoor cage at Yankee Stadium.
"I don't want to strike out tomorrow," he said, laughing.
Gene Michael is the manager for both teams, the Clippers and the Bombers. "That way, I can't lose," Stick said.
He had the lineup cards for both teams taped onto the front of his uniform. Roy White saw that he was batting sixth in the Clippers' lineup and asked Stick how come Lee Mazzilli was batting second in the Bombers' lineup.
"That's the Triple-A squad; do you want to play for them," Michael said.
Next came Mazzilli's voice from across the room, "Hey, Stick, we can hear every word you are staying."
The camaraderie among the former players is the best part of Old Timer's Day. Bernie Williams and John Wetteland and Mariano Duncan and Charlie Hayes exchanged stories about the 1996 team that won the Yankees' first World Series title in 15 years. Hayes still refers to the area near the third base box seats where he caught the final out against the Braves as "the holy ground."
Williams was still beaming over graduating from Manhattan College of Music. "I completed the four years in three," said Bernie, who is having a second career as a guitarist. "It was quite an experience. I thought I knew a lot about music until I realized that I didn't."
In addition to "Mr. October," other Hall of Famers on hand were Whitey Ford, Rickey Henderson, Goose Gossage and Joe Torre. Eddie Robinson, at 95 the oldest living former Yankees player, and 1956 World Series perfect game author Don Larsen, 86, were also in attendance.
Sadly missing was the catcher who leaped into Larsen's arms at the end of that game. Yogi Berra was a rookie in 1947 when the Yankees honored Babe Ruth to begin the Old Timer's Day tradition and was a staple of the event over the years. He was there in spirit, however, as the Yankees used jeweled bases commemorating his legacy during the game.
70th Yankees Old-Timers' Day coming June 12
Five Hall of Famers will be among more than 40 former Yankees scheduled to attend the 70th annual Old-Timers' Day Sunday, June 12, at Yankee Stadium. Fans are asked to be in their seats by 11:30 a.m. for the festivities with the traditional Old-Timers' game to follow. All pregame celebrations will be aired exclusively on the YES Network. The Yankees will then play the Tigers at 2:05 p.m., also on YES. Gates will open to ticket-holding fans at 10 a.m.
The Old-Timers are headlined by Hall of Famers Whitey Ford, Rich "Goose" Gossage, Rickey Henderson, Reggie Jackson and Joe Torre. Former Yankees and current YES Network broadcasters David Cone, John Flaherty and Paul O'Neill will also be part of the pregame with program.
Three-time All-Star closer John Wetteland, who won the 1996 World Series Most Valuable Player Award with saves in all four of their victories toward their 23rd World Series title, will make his Old-Timers' Day debut, alongside 1996 teammate Mariano Duncan, as well as Bubba Crosby and the oldest living former Yankees player, Eddie Robinson, 95.
Joining the Hall of Famers and former Yankees on the field will be the widows of five legendary Yankees—Arlene Howard, widow of Elston Howard; Helen Hunter, widow of Jim "Catfish" Hunter; Jill Martin, widow of Billy Martin; Diana Munson, widow of Thurman Munson; and Kay Murcer, widow of Bobby Murcer.

Pineda brings some 'quality' to his start
The quality start is somewhat of a bogus statistic. It is rewarded to a starting pitcher who allows three or fewer runs in six innings. Since three runs allowed in six innings converts to an earned run average of 4.50, the quality start can be a pretty hollow stat.
However, a 4.50 ERA looks pretty good these days to Michael Pineda, whose ERA stands at 6.34 after what qualified Sunday as a quality start for him as the Yankees won their fifth straight game and completed their first four-game sweep at Oakland since 1979.
That Pineda had one of those six innings-three runs quality starts was just fine with the Yankees, who have been waiting for him to come close to one and falling in line with the rest of the rotation in creating this winning streak. The more important stat for Pineda was the "W," a winning decision that ended a winless stretch of eight starts since his only other victory April 6. On that day, the righthander allowed six earned runs in five innings (10.80 ERA) and benefit from his teammates scoring a season-high 16 runs.
Pineda showed progress to some degree in pitching from the stretch and displayed improved control of his slider, which has been wayward to say the least. The most quality of his innings was the sixth because in retiring the side in order Pineda held onto a 4-3 lead and set up the rest of the game for Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman to finish off the Athletics.
Carlos Beltran helped the situation further with a two-out, RBI double in the seventh for a 5-3 Yankees advantage. Betances had two strikeouts in a 1-2-3 seventh, but Miller had to work to avoid having the A's tie the score in the eighth after consecutive errors by shortstop Didi Gregorius and second baseman Starlin Castro gave Oakland runners on the corner with none out. Miller got a huge strikeout of Danny Valencia before pinch hitter Billy Butler drove in a run with a groundout to third. Another grounder to third by pinch hitter Khris Davis ended the threat before Chapman worked a perfect ninth for his sixth save.
This was the fifth time all three power relievers appeared in the same game. They have combined for a 1-0 record with five saves, a 1.17 ERA and 27 strikeouts in 15 1/3 innings in those games. Overall, the Yankees' bullpen over the past 20 games is 4-1 with seven saves and a 2.10 ERA in 60 innings.
Yet it has been starting pitching that has done the most to shape the winning streak. Starters were 5-0 with a 2.03 ERA this turn through the rotation and allowed 19 hits and four walks with 26 strikeouts in 31 innings.
After winning the first three games of the Oakland series with only one home run (by Beltran), the Yankees got solo shots from Brian McCann and Jacoby Ellsbury off A's starter Jesse Hahn. After the A's regained the lead in the fifth on a two-out, RBI double by Stephen Vogt, the Yankees got a pair of two-out hits of their own to move ahead for good.
Mark Teixeira greeted reliever John Axford with an infield single to end a 0-for-19 stretch and get his first run batted in since May 1 covering 71 plate appearances. The legs of Brett Gardner got that RBI for Tex by scampering home from second base on the grounder that was knocked down by A's second baseman Chris Coghlan in shallow center field. Castro got the Yankees back in front with a single to left-center.
Beltran finished off an incredible series that brought the Yankees' season record within one game of .500 (21-22) in which he had nine hits in 17 at-bats (.529) with eight RBI. His fifth double of the set was career No. 515, which tied Hall of Famer Joe Cronin for 50th place on the all-time list. With Alex Rodriguez due to come off the 15-day disabled list when the Yankees open a brief homestand Tuesday night, Beltran will have to surrender his designated hitter duties.
The Yankees are 13-6 since A-Rod went on the DL. Beltran's productivity has been a major factor in that record. In 12 games as the DH, Beltran hit .367 with nine runs, nine doubles, five home runs and 18 RBI in 49 at-bats. The Yankees were 10-2 in those games. Rodriguez has big shoes to fill.
Red Sox pound Green Monster late for comeback win
Fenway Park has been a comfort zone for the Yankees in recent years. Red Sox fans could not have been pleased that the Yankees won seven of nine games there last year and were 23-13 at Fenway since the start of 2012, their best four-year run in the rival team's home in 49 years.
Masahiro Tanaka certainly looked comfortable at Fenway Friday night. Until the seventh inning, that is. Tanaka was working on a three-hit shutout through six when the tide turned against him. Three left-handed batters went to the opposite field for hits that wiped out a 2-0 deficit.
A double off the wall by Jackie Bradley that scored Travis Shaw and Brock Holt, each of whom had punched singles to left field with one out, was the killer for Tanaka, a stunning development since it came one pitch after the righthander had struck out Ryan Hanigan on a 94-mph fastball.
Given new life, the Red Sox struck again in the eighth against Dellin Betances. David Ortiz drove a hanging curve ball over the Green Monster for a two-run home run. Just like that, the Yankees were 4-2 losers. Yankees fans have seen Ortiz do such dramatics over the years against the Bombers. Ortiz is a career .307 hitter with 48 home runs and 160 RBI in 834 career at-bats against Yankees pitching. Fourteen of those homers have given Boston leads in games. Yankees fans are happy this is his last season.
That the Red Sox were still in position to make a comeback was due primarily to the failure of the Yankees' offense to take advantage of all the base runners they had over the first six innings against lefthander Henry Owens, who entered the game with a career 13.50 ERA against them. Brett Gardner's two-out, RBI single in the fifth was the Yanks' only hit in five at-bats with runners in scoring position. Alex Rodriguez's fourth home run accounted for the other Yankees run. They had 10 runners on base in the first five innings against Owens, and only two scored. The Red Sox turned four double plays behind Owens.
Rodriguez's 691st career home run was also career hit No. 3,082, which pushed him past Hall of Famer Cap Anson into 20th place on the all-time list. Next up is another Hall of Famer, Dave Winfield, at 3,110.
Boston relievers Matt Barnes, Koji Uehara and Craig Kimbrel each retired the side in order in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, respectively. The Yankees' opportunities came against Owens, but they let them slip away, just like the game.
Yanks' offense can't match Tanaka's brilliance
Division races do not get much tighter than this: two teams separated by only a half-game both locked in 1-1 games entering the ninth inning. That was the case for the Yankees and the Blue Jays Tuesday night.
Toronto ended up going into extras. The Yankees wished they could have done the same. After eight brilliant innings from Masahiro Tanaka, Chasen Shreve (6-2) gave up a home run to Chris Davis leading off the ninth and it held up for a 1-0 Orioles victory. Not long after the game at Yankee Stadium ended, the Blue Jays scored four runs in the 10th for a 5-1 victory at Fenway Park and took a 1 1/2-game lead over the Yankees in the American League East.
It was a tough no-decision for Tanaka, who gave the Yankees exactly the kind of start they needed on the heels of the loss of Nathan Eovaldi probably for the rest of the regular season due to right elbow inflammation and to spare the bullpen that may be needed Wednesday night with CC Sabathia coming back to the rotation after a stint on the 15-day disabled list because of right knee inflammation.
Tanaka was at his dominant best with 10 strikeouts. He flirted with a perfect game for four innings. That ended with a leadoff walk, his only base on balls, in the fifth, and soon the no-hit bid was gone as well when Matt Wieters singled on a dribbler against the overshift.
The shutout remained intact through that inning, but a home run to right by Ryan Flaherty at the start of the sixth put an end to the scoreless tie. The Yankees responded with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the inning by Alex Rodriguez off Kevin Gausman. It was an historic hit for A-Rod, career No. 3,056 that pushed him by Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson into 22nd place on the all-time list. In addition, Rodriguez reached the 30-homer plateau for the15th time in his career, tying the record established by Hall of Famer Henry Aaron.
Unfortunately for the Yankees, that would be the extend of their scoring as relievers T.J. McFarland, Darren O'Day (6-2) and Zach Britton (31st save) held them hitless over four innings. The last 11 Yankees batters went out in order.
That the game was so close was a testament not only to Tanaka's pitching but also their defense. Third baseman Brendan Ryan made a remarkable stop of a scorching grounder by Jonathan Schoop and from his knees threw a dart to second baseman Stephen Drew to start a double play that loomed large when the next batter, Wieters, doubled off the wall in left-center. Shortstop Didi Gregorius followed with a good stop of a grounder by J.J. Hardy to get the third out of the inning.
After Davis' homer in the ninth, the Orioles threatened to extend their lead with singles by Jimmy Paredes and Schoop. One out later, Shreve struck out Hardy for the front end of a double play as Ryan kept the glove on Schoop, who attempted to steal third base but over-slid the bag slightly. An offensive highlight to match that was not forthcoming, however.
Big Mac & A-Rod HRs put Archer on the skids
The condition is known as the wheels falling off. Fortunately for the Yankees, the condition struck Chris Archer in the sixth inning Sunday that helped them survive a major scare by the Rays.
Archer, who took a 5-0 career record and 1.78 ERA against the Yankees into the game, appeared destined to improve those statistics over the first five innings, four of which he retired the side in order.
As Yankees catcher Brian McCann noted of Archer, "He didn't pitch out of the stretch a whole lot early in the game."
The sixth inning was another story, and it was McCann who was pivotal in the Yankees' turning the game around. Archer began the sixth working on a one-hit shutout with a three-run lead, thanks to a two-run home run by Kevin Kiermaier in the second inning and a two-out, RBI single by Logan Forsythe in the third against Ivan Nova, who ended up the winning pitcher because of the turn of events in the sixth.
It seemed like another mow-down inning in store for Archer when Stephen Drew flied out to left field leading off. Jacoby Ellsbury, who had the Yankees' only hit to that point (a two-out single in the third that ended a 0-for-17 stretch), hit a ground single to right, but Archer came right back to strike out Brett Gardner.
Curiously, Archer pitched especially carefully to Carlos Beltran for no reason I could detect and walked him on five pitches. At 2-0, Beltran expected to see a fastball, but Archer threw three straight sliders and lost him. Beltran was 0-for-2 in the game and 2-for-14 (.143) against Archer in his career, so why be so careful when a hitter as dangerous as McCann on deck.
McCann's career numbers against Archer (2-for-16 going into that at-bat) weren't much better than Beltran's, but they were about to become so. Archer fell behind 3-1 to McCann, who got the fastball Beltran expected and drove the ball over the right field fence for a three-run homer that knotted the score.
As if the wheels had not fallen off enough for Archer, Alex Rodriguez also took him deep on the next pitch. Once again, the long ball came to the Yankees' rescue as they went on to a 6-4 victory to keep pace with the Blue Jays, 10-4 winners over the Orioles and clinging to a 1 1/2-game lead in the American League East.
McCann's 25th home run marked a career high in one season for the catcher, who seems much more comfortable in his second year in pinstripes.
"I know the league a lot better," said McCann, who spent nine years in the National League with the Braves before signing with the Yankees as a free agent prior to the 2014 season. "Getting to know the pitchers, the ones and twos on each staff and situational lefthanders. When you're in the same league year after year you don't have to make that much of an adjustment.
"That's our formula," manager Joe Girardi said of the home runs, and he was right on target.
The Yankees, whose overall record is 76-59 (.563), are 65-34 (.657) when they homer. When they hit two home runs, as they did Sunday, or more, they are 41-11 (.788). Of the 13 runs the Yanks scored in the three games at Yankee Stadium against the Rays, nine were the result of home runs.
The Yankees added two runs against a ragged Tampa Bay bullpen, one on a throwing error by Fosythe and one on a single by Didi Gregorius, who had two more hits and has had at least one RBI in eight of his past 10 games. A-Rod contributed to the eighth-inning rally with a single, his 3,053rd career hit that tied him with Hall of Famer Rod Carew for 24th place on the all-time list.
But what most of the 35,299 people in attendance at the Stadium will remember most about Sunday's game were the home runs in the inning when the wheels fell off for a modern-day Yankee killer.
Young & Eovaldi do a Texas two-step for Yanks
A couple of Texas natives had big nights deep in the heart of their home state Friday night for the Yankees.
Houston native Chris Young ended the Yanks' 15-inning scoreless streak at Minute Maid Park by clouting a three-run home run in the seventh off previously untouchable reliever Will Harris to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead that was upheld by three Yankees relievers.
The rally created a winning decision for starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (7-2), who worked six strong innings under the watchful eye of fellow Alvin, Texas, native Nolan Ryan, who was seated in the front row behind the plate alongside his wife, Ruth. The Hall of Famer rejoined the Astros organization last year after leaving the Rangers.
Pitching in his home area for the first time, Eovaldi followed his sturdy outing Old-Timers' Day with another solid performance in front of scores of friends and relatives in the crowd of 37,748. The righthander allowed two runs, five hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six innings.
And yet he was in position to be on the losing side in the game because Astros starter Vincent Velasquez was even better over the first six innings. He held the Yankees to three hits with only one base runner getting beyond first.
One out into the seventh, however, the Yankees made their move. Singles by Carlos Beltran and Garrett Jones prompted Houston manager A.J. Hinch to bring in Harris, who entered the game with a 4-0 record and 0.78 ERA. With no left-handed bat on the bench, Yankees manager Joe Girardi stayed with Young, who rewarded the skipper by putting a charge into a 1-1 cut fastball for his ninth home run of the season.
Young's numbers this season are lopsided. He leads American League hitters against left-handed pitching (.379, eight doubles, four home runs, 10 RBI in 66 at-bats), including two hits off Dallas Keuchel, who shut down the rest of the Yankees Thursday night. Against righthanders, however, Young was batting only .177 going into Friday night's game. By going 3-for-4 against righties, Young improved his stats to .210 with two doubles, five home runs and 13 RBI in 100 at-bats.
Minute Maid Park has become a home away from home for Young. In 25 career games there, he is hitting .410 with seven doubles, one triple, nine home runs and 33 RBI in 105 at-bats with 14 multi-hit games. It marks his highest career average in any major league park.
Young, a graduate of Houston's Bellaire High School, extended his hitting streak to nine games since June 18 during which he has batted .471 with three doubles, two home runs and eight RBI in 34 at-bats. Over the span, Young has raised his season batting average from .220 to .271.
Once the Yankees moved in front, Girardi turned to his pen, which did a superb job. Chasen Shreve struck out the side in the seventh. After a two-out walk by Justin Wilson in the eighth, Dellin Betances was called on for a four-out save, which he handled perfectly with two strikeouts.
Brett Gardner continued his hot hitting with a double and a single and is up to .294. With Tampa Bay losing, the Yankees moved to a half-game of the first-place Rays in the American League East.
Angels put a devil's scare into Yanks in 9th
Stuck in a 0-for-22 slump, Stephen Drew was benched for two games on the recently-completed Yankees' West Coast trip and speculation was ripe that he might lose his second base job. He had two big hits in a come-from-behind, extra-inning victory for the Yankees in Seattle to give manager Joe Girardi more reason to stick with him and opened the homestand Friday night with two home runs in an 8-7 victory over the Angels.
Drew got pushed to the side a bit as the game took a weird turn at the end. Who would have thought with the Yankees up by 8-1 entering the ninth inning that Dellin Betances would get in the game and be in a save situation? And come close to blowing it?
Esmil Rogers faced five batters, did not get any of them out, and all of them scored. One hit was tainted. Chase Headley, shifted to first base in what seemed a blowout, and second baseman Jose Pirela let a popup drop between them for a single by Grant Green.
Betances did not stop the bleeding right away. He gave up a hit and two walks and, finally, an earned run for the first time in 27 appearances and 29 2/3 innings. His strikeout of Kirk Neuwenhuis was the first out of the inning — to the ninth batter! A force play at second ended Betances' scoreless season and put the potential tying run at third base, but he ended the debacle of an inning by striking out pinch hitter Carlos Perez.
How many times have you seen it? A player hits a foul home run and despite cries from the crowd "Straighten it out," invariably makes an out on the next pitch. It almost never happens that the hitter does indeed straighten it out.
Drew did so, however, in the second inning in jumping the Yanks out to a 2-0 lead over the Angels' Jered Weaver. Batting with two out and a runner on first base, Drew, who showed some signs of life offensively in the recent series at Seattle, hit a loud foul near the right field foul pole. You figured at that point that might be his shot.
Then on the next pitch, Drew put another charge into the ball and it made it over the right field wall on the fair side for a two-run home run. Call it a Yankee Stadium homer if you want (it landed maybe two rows over the fence), but a homer is a homer.
Another Stadium homer came two innings later from a more regular source of power — Mark Teixeira. It also came after two were out and barely cleared the right field barrier. It was No. 17 for Tex, who is now one behind American League leader Nelson Cruz of the Mariners. Teixeira also raised his league-leading RBI total to 43.
Speaking of RBI, Alex Rodriguez took over sole possession of second place on the all-time list with No. 1,997 on a two-out single in the fifth that scored Brett Gardner, who had tripled to left-center one out earlier. A-Rod, who had four hits and is batting .284 with 11 homers and 28 RBI, has a ways to go to catch the career RBI leader, Hall of Famer Henry Aaron, with 2,297. Only 300 RBI to go.
Drew connected for his second home run, a two-run shot, with two out in the sixth that sent Weaver to the clubhouse. Fans got excited an inning later when Drew batted with the bases loaded, but he grounded out.
Considering how Drew has struggled — he is still well below the Mendoza line with a .173 batting average — the two-homer, four-RBI game offers some encouragement for the future.
Nathan Eovaldi (5-1) was rolling along for five innings until he lost the plate in the sixth and walked the bases loaded. Chasen Shreve kept the damage to a minimum with one run on an infield out and got a big strikeout of Eric Aybar to end the inning.
Yanks grading F's against the A's in Oakland
The schizophrenic nature of the Yankees' season has surfaced again on the West Coast. After sweeping a three-game series against the Royals, the team with the best record in the American League, the Yankees lost the first two games of the four-game set to the Athletics, the team with the worst record in the league. On top of that, Oakland entered the series with a 1-10 record when opponents start a left-handed pitcher, and the A's won Thursday night against CC Sabathia and Friday night against Chris Capuano, both lefties.
Except for the hitting of Brian McCann and Alex Rodriguez, the Yankees have had another offensive breakdown. The loss of Jacoby Ellsbury (strained right knee) is part of it, although Slade Heathcott, who was recalled from Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to help fill the void, was playing well (.353, 1 HR, 3 RBI). Now Heathcott is out with a strained right quadriceps that landed him on the 15-day disabled list Saturday. The Yankees recalled outfielder Ramos Flores from SWP to take the place of Heathcott, who is expected to be out for a month.
McCann has homered in four straight games, the longest streak by a catcher in the major leagues this season. Mac is one of two Yankees to homer in four straight games while playing catcher since 1957. The other was Mike Stanley (four homers in four games July 20-25, 1993). The only Yankees catcher since at least 1914 with a longer streak is Hall of Famer Bill Dickey, who hit six home runs in five games June 20-25, 1937.
During his seven-game hitting streak, McCann is 9-for-23 (.391) with six runs, 1 double, four homers, 11 RBI and six walks. He has reached base safely in 15 of his past 29 plate appearances for a .517 on-base percentage. The Elias Sports Bureau reports that McCann is the first Yankees catcher with an RBI in seven consecutive games, all as catcher, since Hall of Famer Yogi Berra had an eight-game streak Sept. 11-23, 1956. McCann's streak is the longest RBI streak by any Yankees player since Alfonso Soriano's seven-gamer Sept. 1-7, 2013. Mac is tied with the Padres' Derek Norris for second among MLB catchers with 32 RBI in 2015. The leader is Oakland's Stephen Vogt with 35. Vogt played first base Friday night and drove in two runs with a double in the A's four-run third inning against Capuano.
Also streaking is Rodriguez, with an eight-game stretch in which he has hit .414 with seven runs, one double, one home run, five RBI and three walks in 29 at-bats as his batting average has climbed from .246 to .277. A-Rod has hit safely in 13 consecutive starts and is batting .346 in his past 15 games and 52 at-bats overall since May 13.
Rodriguez's sacrifice fly Thursday gave him 1,996 career RBI to tie Barry Bonds for second place on baseball's all-time list, according to Elias, the official statistician of MLB. Statistics found on MLB.com and baseball-reference.com are not official stats. The RBI became an official statistic in 1920. Rodriguez passed Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig (1,993) for the all-time AL RBI record with a three-run homer Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. A-Rod has scored 1,947 career runs, two shy of tying Hall of Famer Stan Musial for eighth place on the all-time list.
Despite the two losses in Oakland, the Yankees remained in first place in the AL East by one game over the Rays and Orioles, who are playing each other this weekend. The Yankees will also get some reinforcements when Masahiro Tanaka returns to the rotation. He is scheduled to start Wednesday in Seattle in the last game of the trip.
The rotation could use a shot in the, well, arm. Yankees starters are a combined 18-19 with a 4.29 ERA, which ranks 20th of 30 major-league clubs. The Yankees are the only club with a winning record (25-24) whose starting unit has a losing mark. Opposing hitters are batting .275 against Yankees starting pitchers.

Brand New Owners Vacation Home. Looking to rent only two or three months per year. Spectacular quality workmanship. For the ultimate vacation or retirement experience. All Tommy Bahama and Natuzzi furniture. No pets permitted. House located on the edge of the inter coastal waterway. Awesome views. The home has four Trek bikes. Located 2 miles from Downtown and walking distance to the Cape Coral Yacht Club.
We were fortunate to rent this magnificient home for 11 glorious days. The home location on intersecting canals enabled all of us to enjoy the magnificient infinitypool while viewing the daily dolphin show. The home is exceptional. The amenities too many to list and extremely well maintained. Mark was a very gracious owner, explaining all the fantasticfeatures of this wonderful home. It was hard to get anyone to leave to do other activities as we all enjoyed our stay so very much. The only problem we experienced was LEAVING to return back to Michigan. We certainly hope we have the opportunity to return to this fantasic home again....The family is indeed spoiled......
Our vacation in Cape Coral was perfect!!
We enjoyed two weeks of relaxation and luxury - hardly leaving the house because it had everything (and more!) in it. Morning coffee was enjoyed on the pool deck looking at the river and we had afternoon drinks in the pool while watching the dolphins play right behind the house!
The house has every amenity needed - ice maker, outdoor kitchen, comfy beds, bicycles, and so much more. The home is spotless and huge!
A big THANK YOU to Mark! He is a wonderful host who explained everything in the home and is always helpful!
Looking forward to staying at this home again!
We stayed at this beautiful home for two weeks in February. The listing is as described however it is SO much more beautiful than the pictures show. We LOVED this vacation home!! Very clean and very well maintained. We really did not do many activities because we did not want to leave. We did eat at Ford's Garage and Rum Runner which were both great. I would highly recommend this home. Mark was great to work with and we can't wait to come back!
Joe and Lourie
We didn't want to leave! This home is everything and more. You feel like royalty when you stay here. Our teenagers, my mom, husband and myself had so much fun. This home has so much room, and amenities that you will feel beyond complete staying here. We will without a doubt go back to this home every year. The owner of this home and his family are great people, and really will make your family first when staying here. The home security is a great perk as well. This home is located in a great area located in the same vicinity as shopping, great food and also ft. myers beach. We really enjoyed this home and we hope to see this as our future Florida stays to come every year. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts, and also thank you for the keurig in the kitchen!!! lol! p.s. RENT A BOAT, IT'S BLAST!!!!
love, The Vana Family :-)
Stayed at this property for almost one week in February 2014. This property is absolutely beautiful! It is extremely clean, and even better than the pictures. The location is perfect, in a quiet subdivision right on an intersection canal way and perfect views of the ocean. The lani areas are where we hung out most of the time. The surround sound system was great, infinity pool was perfect, and the living area was plentiful. We were a family of 4 and didn't even utilize all the bed rooms. This property would be perfect for one family or multiple families. Mark was great to work with and get us situated! Would love to go back!!
This was an outstanding rental for a vacation. The listing description was very accurate, the property was spotless and well maintained.
We had 4 couples and with everyone having their own bathroom and bedroom was a real plus. Our holiday was planned for golfing and we found some really nice courses. It was awesome to come back to the pool after a golf game and cool off.
Restaurants we found were excellent and if you wanted shopping, it was near by.
Would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful home to enjoy.
Definitly would return if we get the chance.
Mark was excellent to deal with as well.

Go for the cheesecake. Really, just go for the cheesecake and you'll be happy.
The wait can be ridiculous, like two hours on a busy night ridiculous, and if you're in Waikiki well there are plenty of other more attractive places to spend two hours than waiting outside on a bench holding a little buzzer thingy, and shaking little buzzer thingy when you start to panic and worry that maybe outta the whole bunch you got the "junk" one, and holding little buzzer thingy up to your ear to listen for a beep and saying incantations over little buzzer thingy, like "come on buzz already will ya? Please?!"
The food is o.k.. Kind of just a really long, long, long, long list of American style cuisine. You can get good sandwiches and salads and pasta dishes but I haven't ever had anything outstanding-- other than the cheesecake. =)
The environment is loud and busy but fun.
Weird but true... the beautiful marble floors seem a bit too slippery, ( I always forget to remind myself to "not" where heels there), 'cause I feel like I'm at risk of sliding in to home, and taking out a few frazzled waiters on the way, each time I take a trip to the ladies room.
Go for the fun environment/ night out in Waikiki and, of course... for the cheesecake. Which really, the cheesecake is to die for and is worth every second of the wait and mediocre service and the slippery floors if you have a die hard sweet tooth. You know, if you want you can actually just march right up to the glass case and order a slice of any cake to go and cop a squat on famous Waikiki Beach and enjoy the night, minus the buzzer thingy for company of course.

I suspect that the ridiculous waiting time for a table is mostly due to location, not quality. Food was terrible. Average service, above average prices.
Posted: 8/29/2010Provided by Citysearch -
Expect a long wait to get seated, generally between 30 minutes and an hour. Even once you're seated, don't expect fast service. It would be impossible to have the entire dinner experience inside in less than 2 hours. Besides the scarce service, the food is only decent. And the portions are HUGE! Leftovers are to be expected though half of my party decided to leave them. Wasn't that great first time around...
Posted: 9/30/2007Provided by Citysearch -
The service was horirble! The waiter avoided half of the table!! It took 15 minutes to get the waiter to take drink orders, another 15 to get the drinks. 20 minutes later we were able to place entree orders... I couldn't even get a refill on my water!! Dessert wasn't offered to half the table, boxes to go had to be asked for twice... the bill 20 minutes. It was overall terrible service and I wouldn't recommend it to my dog!
Posted: 10/11/2006Provided by Citysearch -
Simply the best food in Hawaii and the greatest dining experience in the islands! Will return again and again.....Great service!!! The waits can be lengthy, but well worth it!
