Which policies do you want to read about?
For additional respective ad unit specific information, please visit https://adspecs.yahoo.com/.
Animation & Video
In the US, Yahoo allows animation in ads for up to 15 seconds. In Hong Kong and Taiwan the limit is 10 seconds. In all other markets, the animation limit is 30 seconds.
Repetitive, excessive, flashing or high annoyance animation is not allowed.
Rich media video is generally subject to the market specific limits listed above for animation. Thirty seconds of animation may be allowed in some instances (e.g. film trailers, client TV ads), provided the ad unit has a stop button, but all exceptions must be approved by Yahoo. If a user initiates the video, the video can play indefinitely, but must have a "stop" button.
Audio in advertising is allowed only when initiated by an "informed click," generally defined as a click that a reasonable person would expect to trigger an audio experience. Users should retain the ability to mute audio at all times.
Ads must clearly be differentiated from page content through either:
All ads large enough to fit branding must include it within the ad unit. All other ads must have clear branding on the landing page.
Ad branding must accurately reflect the party ultimately offering the specific product or service. This requirement also applies to ad units containing multiple offers, which must be branded individually when containing offers from separate parties.
Third Party Ad Tech Vendor
Third party vendor may be used after certified. Vendors that have not been certified are not accepted. For a list of certified vendors, please visit https://adspecs.yahoo.com/.
Don't use:
Video Quality & User Experience - Native & Search
Ad Copy, Language, & Style - Native & Search
Relevance - Display, Native & Search
All ad components must be accurate and relevant to the ultimate offer.
Yahoo does not allow ads that, at Yahoo's sole discretion, promote low quality products or services, or ads that mislead users or otherwise negatively affect our users' online experience. Landing pages must contain sufficient content that fulfills what is claimed in the ad. This includes, but is not limited to, these types of experiences and products:
Third-Party Products & Services - Display, Native & Search
Offers for third-party support services or products may not claim affiliation with the owner or manufacturer of the product when no such relationship exists. Do not claim to provide a service that can only be provided by the actual owner of the products or service advertised.
The advertiser is responsible for ensuring that use of keywords and ad content, including trademarks and logos, does not infringe or violate the intellectual property rights of others.
Yahoo appreciates the importance of trademarks and takes allegations of trademark infringement seriously. Yahoo prohibits infringement of trademarks and other intellectual property by advertisers. If a trademark owner is concerned that their trademark is being used improperly in ad text, the owner should first contact the advertiser directly to address the issue. If dissatisfied with the outcome, the owner may also wish to contact Yahoo. Please note that Yahoo is not a mediator.
See Reporting Intellectual Property Claims below for more details.
Yahoo allows fair use of trademarks in ad text, such as:
Ad Investigations

Ad and Keyword Investigations: Brazil, France, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Singapore, and United Kingdom
For these markets, advertisers may not bid on keywords, or use in the text of ads, any term whose use would infringe the trademark of any third party or otherwise be unlawful or in violation of the rights of any third party.

Reporting Intellectual Property Claims
Please visit our Intellectual Property Center for our guidelines, reporting requirements, and online forms in order to submit a trademark, copyright, or counterfeit complaint.

If the offer includes a program in which a product or service is free to the user for a limited amount of time and then must be cancelled to avoid full charges, the terms of the "free trial" must be disclosed in a clear and prominent manner on the landing page, and in close proximity to each mention of the offer and call to action.
Landing pages or ads can't spawn popups. The browser back button, and close button must work from the landing page without any interference. For example, popup boxes that ask users to confirm exit when a user attempts to close the page or present a final offer to users are not allowed. The close button must close the page.

The landing page promoted by each Sitelink should be relevant to the Sitelink text and each Sitelink needs to have a unique title. Each Sitelink needs to lead to unique content at your site. In addition, no Sitelink can direct the user to the same landing page as the destination URL of the main part of your ad.
Ads may link to a "public" social networking account page (e.g. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter) that is controlled by the advertiser, provided the ad is otherwise compliant with Yahoo policies.

George Foster Pierce (1811-1884)
George Foster Pierce, Methodist bishop, preacher, and educator, was renowned for his preaching skills and his efforts to maintain early Methodist practices. At the General Conference of 1844 Pierce, a slaveowner himself, defended the ownership of slaves by Bishop James Osgood Andrew, which was an issue that divided the church. He also helped to organize the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and was elected a bishop in 1854.
Pierce was born on February 3, 1811, in Greene County to Ann Foster and Lovick Pierce, a Methodist minister. He was educated in Greensboro and at the University of Georgia, where he earned an A.B. degree in 1829. In 1827, while a student in Athens, he was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was ordained a deacon in 1831 in the newly formed Georgia Conference and became an elder two years later. In 1834 he married Ann Maria Waldron of Savannah, with whom he had seven children.
Pierce's reputation as an orator contributed to his election as president (1838-40) of Georgia Female College (later Wesleyan College). The trustees of Emory College selected him as president in 1848, and he remained in this post for six years, until the General Conference of 1854 elected him bishop and assigned him to the Arkansas-Missouri area. Published in 1859, Pierce's Incidents of Western Travel was his appeal for the western expansion of the church. During the Civil War (1861-65) he was a firm supporter of the Confederacy, and by 1870 he was the most influential bishop of the denomination.
An aggressive but conservative bishop, Pierce championed retention of"class meetings" for religious instruction, probationary membership, and two-year ministerial appointments. He opposed admitting laymen to conferences, establishing a theological seminary, and reuniting with Northern Methodists. Pierce returned to Georgia in late 1883 and died at Sunshine Plantation, his home near Sparta, on September 3, 1884.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Battle Spot' started by TheMantyke, Mar 25, 2014.
I use my personal Yveltal (don't ask; it's a secret) or have Mewtwo use Me First.
tbh I'd just counter Kangaskhan the way I always have: Rocky Helmet, Ghosts, burn, damage. Stuff like Gourgeist is good because it can run Colbur Berry to beat Crunch and has the defense to take another should WoW miss; it also has moves like Shadow Sneak and Seed Bomb to beat out weakened Mewtwo and Pokémon like Rotom-W. Sableye is also great because of priority Recover and WoW, meaning that even in the event of a miss it can heal up and try again. It also does a chunk with Foul Play: 0- Atk Sableye Foul Play vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mega Kangaskhan: 166-196 (40 - 47.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
However, it's still 2HKOed by Earthquake if Kang isn't burned.
I think people are so excited over the new toys, like NixHex said, that they're forgetting that the rest of the Kalos dex still exists. We still get Sableye. We still get the Grass/Ghosts. We still get Ferrothorn and we still get Meowstic. Kangaskhan may be hard to beat but it isn't unbeatable.
As much as I don't like the presence of Mewtwo and Xerneas (Yveltal has plenty of checks despite its bulk imo), I've always preferred singles and I finally have a Wi-Fi tournament to not feel apathetic about.
Ferrothorn is a decent check to Mega Kanga while Garchomp can be decent revenging, also a few months back people ran Rocky Helmet on random things just for Kanga as well. From Rocky Helmet, it costs 1/3 of its health per move. I question whether it's worth using Fake Out in singles because of this health cost. It would be better to run EQ so you have a non-contact move as well as your strongest move vs Sableye & Klefki, Hammer Arm for power to beat Ferrothorn and friends, or Crunch so you don't have to play mindgames against opposing Ghost types which very often carry WoW. Fake Out is too easy to outplay in singles. Instead of running another filler that would help out versus some of the paltry threats against Kanga, you instead run a situational move that delays Kanga's sweep by one turn; the only thing I concede that it would really help against is Rotom, which you only have a 6% chance of OHKOing if it is a neutral nature and hasn't invested in defense. If you need chipping damage, then I prefer to boost. Also, Adamant Kanga OHKOs Mewtwo-Y.
This isn't in any way saying that Mega Kanga isn't strong. Hell yes it is. I run it myself. It's absurd in every way.
Mewtwo X sounds appealing but it is crippled due to lack of tutors, at least as a sweeper. Your strongest physical STABs are Brick Break / Psycho Cut complimented by Return, EQ, and Stone Edge....yuck. The more I talk about this, the more I'm convinced that running a defensive set is the best route for Mewtwo X. If you're just going special, regular Mewtwo outdamages Mewtwo X with LO or Specs; too lazy to do calcs on mixed but running mixed Mewtwo X is all about how much you are willing to sacrifice to run shit Brick Break or generic unSTAB'd options.
Any counters for Mega Lucario?
I'd also run an pokemon with access to aura sphere/aerial ace/feint attack etc. Minimize driftblim setups are gonna be pretty common. Actually, with geomancy Xerneas, an unaware Quagsire may not be a bad option
"Counter" is an outdated concept, the game has evolved to such a point where very few Pokemon have true counters.
Nitpicking aside, Mega Lucario is checked by its fragility. All the allowed ubers in the format check Luke - Mewtwo is faster and OHKOs, Xerneas wins if it gets Geomancy off, is Scarfed, or Luke has yet to Evolve, and Aura Sphere fails to 2HKO bulky Yveltal. Talonflame can also revenge. Charizard Y and Aegislash resist both STABs. Regular Luke has trouble switching into a lot. It's all about playing smart against it but it has plenty of checks among the top Pokemon.
Also, please don't run Quagsire vs Xerneas. It can't do jackshit against it: 252 SpA Fairy Aura Xerneas Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Quagsire: 102-121 (50.4 - 59.9%) -- 86.7% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Kangaskhan is easier to deal with when it is not in the position to set up PuP without retaliation (that's why we decided against using Tyranitar). In a lead matchup (almost 1/3 of the game) Geomancy Xerneas can setup on Kangaskhan, Mawile forces her out with Intimidate and LO-Timid-Yveltal can 2HKOit with Oblivion Wing + Sucker Punch while surviving Kangaskhan's Return + Sucker Punch thanks to OB (lots of number crunching but Yveltal wins when Kanga does not crit). She is bulky but at the same time rather frail in the sense that while she is able to take a Focus Blast from the box legendaries, neutral hits tend to 2HKO her a lot. This is why we would run some kind of support for her.
My sister decided to have Jumpluff in her team. Compared to Smeagle who is slower than Adamant Kangaskhan and therefore not a very appealing choice, this one is the next best thing with actual stats. Reflect, Sleep Power, Encore and Memento is everything it needs for setup. The best thing is that it doesn't even need a Focus Sah in order to survive the most dangerous hits (but it is still useful in the case Sleep Powder misses).
^ Although Jumpluff is an interesting idea, a Focus Sash won't save you from Parental Bond.
After spending the afternoon on Showdown April Friendly mode, I've been wracking my brain to come up with a Sp tank counter to Xerneas and MMewtwo. So far the best Kalos pokemon I've found is probably Dragalge due to poison typing nullifying her fairy weakness. Other than that, I've just been using Aegislash to kill Mewtwo and getting lucky with scarf trick or prankster taunt on Xerneas.
Basically everyone I've come across thus far after around 50 games is running more or less the same team - Mewtwo, Xerneas, Yveltal, Aegislash, Talonflame, Rotom. Lots of Geng and Kang about too but nowhere near as much as the aforementioned.
Say, how many Speed EVs should Xerneas have?
I had a look and uninvested Modest Xerneas hits 468 at +2, which sits 8 points ahead of 252+ unboosted Ninjask (for reference). With this in mind, it's probably be best to have a look at what you need to outspeed before you boost up; usually this wouldn't be relevant as every common Pokémon is either faster, but outsped after Geomancy or slower in both cases. Possibly run 12 Speed EVs to outrun 0 Spd Adamant Mega Kangaskhan by one point, while also speed creeping bulky Yveltal? To be honest, I'm really not seeing the point in investing too heavily in it as most things around Xern's speed tier will be running max investment (and are 100 or above).
252 Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Return vs. 252 HP / 60 Def Jumpluff: 157-186 (86.2 - 102.1%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
Not strong enough; also, you are faster and can put her to sleep. The Sash is for stray Ice Beams from Mewtwo.
Hey guys, the sign ups for the April Friendly have started, get on it now before its too late!
Just sign in here, and click on the "Online Competitions" button to the left. Then sign up from there, and download the player ID via battle spot. Just remember, you don't have to register your battle box until next week, so you still got some time to practice!
Speaking of practice, currently I've been giving Klefki a try in the few practice matches I've had. I've been using a Specially Defensive set with Thunder Wave and Light Screen, with the last two moves to be undetermined. The reason I'm interested in Klefki is that it can check both Yveltal and to a lesser extent, Xerneas. If you use Play Rough, you can break Xerneas's substitutes (which is handy because I recall swagger Klefki being rather popular prebank, so I can totally see some Japanese players using Sub Xerneas), allowing you to Thunder Wave it. Also, Yveltal takes 44.7 - 53.7% (Hasty and Mild actually get 2HKOed) from Play Rough, and Yveltal does NOT like Thunder Wave and Light Screen! I've also used Foul Play, which is nice to punishing set up Pokémon like Mega Kangaskhan, but losing to Sub Xerneas is a total bummer. I've also used Reflect and Light Clay, which can be pretty handy for giving Pokémon like Yveltal even more surviability, but choosing between Play Rough and Foul Play has been pretty tough for me, so I'm going to try out a Reflectless Klefki with a different item soon!
Mawile is looking like a dark horse option due to checking the trifecta of ubers (yeah really Mawile a dark horse but there is a lot of ridiculous shit allowed). Xerneas is OHKO'd by Iron Head and can only respond with a paltry +2 Focus Miss which admittedly has a ~31% chance to OHKO 252 HP Mawile (factors in accuracy). Granted, Specs also 2HKOs 252 HP Mawile unless it is stuck on Flash Cannon for whatever reason but there isn't very much that can weather Xerneas' attacks and proceed to KO it while still remaining generally viable. I don't really consider HP Fire/Ground to be a possibility due to this being the cartridge.
LO Yveltal does upwards of 70% with Focus Miss, but unlike Xerneas will not have any boosting capabilities. Defensive variants flatout lose.
Mewtwo needs Sub, spot-on prediction, or more importantly, WoW to win. Mawile shits all over regular and Mewtwo Y variants unless someone is crazy enough to put Fire Blast + one of the moves listed above and forces a mindgame with the opponent. You only get one shot though, because Play Rough OHKOs Mewtwo Y and does 88% minimum on regular Mewtwo. Mewtwo X gets a bit more leeway due to not fearing an imminent Sucker Punch, but loses if it doesn't have Fire Blast or WoW. On that note, seriously people, do not underestimate defensive Mewtwo. Stalltwo is still one of the best lures in the game, you destroy the aforementioned Mawile, Bisharp, Kanga, Garchomp, and more.
The downside of Mawile is that its base form is so weak that you can't really switch into anything. QQ. But it can be a little safety net if things go south.
On a side note Cobalion would fit sosososo well into this meta but alas we'll probably never see it unless the rest of the not-box legendaries and events are going around.
Just what are people running on MewtwoX? If it has to be caught in Kalos, it seems to limit the movepool on the physical side quite a bit.
You don't have to run a physical set. Hell, even with tutors (i.e. regular ubers) it's liable to go mixed or some other route. Mewtwo X can do a run of the mill special set that is weaker than Mewtwo Y or LO Mewtwo but trades a Dark weakness for a Fairy one. It's not that bad because Aura Sphere gets STAB at least so your dual STAB is quite good (doesn't OHKO Kanga though, ew). The main reason to run this is to still have something reasonably powerful but you don't have to fear Sucker Punch garbage anymore.
At first I thought Stalltwo would be better with MMX than regular Mewtwo but with Talonflame and Xerneas everywhere, the added Fighting type weaknesses ironically hurt more than they help.
You can also try a mixed set along the lines of Psystrike / Brick Break / Stone Edge / EQ. Brick Break isn't really for damage as it is for breaking screens. Yuck, it's pretty sobering that its STAB sucks on the physical end.
The problem with running Mawile as a counter to legendaries (and considering how good he is in this case, it's a small problem) is that anyone running Xerneas will be running either HP fire, or a different pokemon to counter Aegislash, and other steels, but mostly Aegislash. HP Fire will only OHKO after Geomancy but Iron Head from MMawile will easily OHKO so as long as you don't swap into it, Mawile still wins.
Second problem is as you mentioned, WoW; Talonflame and Rotom-W (just to name a few) are everywhere from what I've seen in the practice games and easily outspeed Mawile so if they predict your switch, you're screwed, or if you don't switch out of WoW, you're screwed because Garchomp, Kang and MewtwoX are also everywhere and all can eat a burned Play Rough and murder you with EQ.
That said, I still agree that Mawile will win far more matches than he loses overall in this competition and is probably the strongest contender for most valuable non-legendary mega outside of Ubers. I, for one, will be using him.
You are limited to Kalos movepool, yes. Kind of sucks because you can't run the standard drain punch/bulk up set and what remains is very.. Well, not amazing. I've heard people talk about how Sub is valuable over a coverage move but honestly, I'm finding that people just aren't that scared of Mewtwo and unless he has something that will SE you or has a bulk up or two, they won't swap and he isn't tanky enough for sub to absorb. Generally speaking, the set mentioned above by Age of Kings is solid for a Kalos build and he's dead right - Brick Break is a horrible stab, but unless you want to run Low Kick or something even worse, there's not a huge amount of options which is why I suppose people take bulk up or sub in that extra slot rather than a mediocre STAB. He has plenty of utility with things such as Recover, just no super power/cc/drain punch/PuP/etc.
This has been mentioned before, but since this competition is on cart, Hidden Power Fire Xerneas is likely to be VERY uncommon, because its a bitch to soft reset for!
There is no real reason to run a mixed Mewtwo-X; Brick Break outdamages Aura Sphere by a huge margin and nobody will ever make us using STAB Focus Blast just in order to KO Kangaskhan while Psystrike isn't strong enough to pull weight against Geomancy Xerneas anyway (X always loses).
In our opinion the most effective Mewtwo-Xs will run a simple Bulk Up sets alongside with Brick Break, Earthquake and Stone Edge. BU is the main selling point of Mewtwo-X because it allows it to OHKO its usual checks at +1, like 252/0 Yveltal, Kangaskhan and Aegislash.
There is a huge difference between a check and a counter, please read this article because the distinction is extremely important. You spent a lot of text detailing why Mawile wasn't a counter which I openly admitted, my point was its value comes as a check. I specifically said Mawile was a check and while yes, all of those things mentioned can beat Mawile....in the most common conditions, Mawile will win. Xerneas and Yveltal require absurdly advantageous situations (and moves with shit accuracy) to win, whereas Mewtwo needs a super specific situation or certain moves, the most common of which was only used on 32% of Mewtwos in the 1695 and 34% in the 1760 stats last month. I think Mawile's a good idea because it requires the least amount of teamslots possible while having the widest beneficial effect; it's not going to win 100% of the time but it will win a lot more than 50%.
This isn't the simulator, HP Fire and Ground Xerneas might as well not exist in-game, the odds are near zero for a competitive one due to the forced 31s making them more difficult to reset for. There is a 50% chance to get a 31 in SpA, SpD or Speed which nullifies all HP Fire spreads (which require 30s in SpA and Speed) or HP Ground (which requires 30 SpD), then factor in the 50% chance to get the desired even or odd Atk, and then the 50% chance to get the nature you want. So at maximum, there is a 12.5% chance that a specific Hidden Power spread even has a chance to be generated, so 25 out of every 200 resets are even meaningful. I could continue to go into the odds of getting semi-decent IVs in all stats or do proper math with all the other conditional values that I didn't go into for simplicity's sake (i.e. HP Fire needs 30s in BOTH SpA and Speed), but I hope that I don't have to continue to break down statistics to make the point that they are not worth preparing for. If you see one, a regular Xerneas will probably win because the HP Xerneas will likely have some lackluster stat. The potential loss of brain cells and stats aren't worth the situational uses.
Nobody is going to keep Mawile in on Rotom-W and Talonflame, and Mawile is certainly not alone in the not-liking-WoW department. But Mawile's power is such that no, it's not so easy to eat a Play Rough. Talonflame is safe because it resists both of Mawile's STABs, but Rotom-W is going to take a not-insignificant chunk (43.9 - 51.5%), Garchomp can't switch in (83.1 - 97.8%), and neither can Mewtwo X (80.1 - 95%; regular takes 43.6 - 51.3% on the switch-in).
tl;dr: Mawile steamrolls
I should've known better than to read this thread. I was feeling pretty optimistic about my team, but all the doom 'n gloom about all these threats is really bumming me out. And now I realize that I really have no way to counter any of them...
Where from there do I sign up? All I see on the competition page is stuff for a competition that's already over. Nothing about the April Friendly.
you don't see where it says
maybe the link will work for you
I didn't, however it's because I somehow got signed out, not sure why, I never closed my browser or anything. Oh well, thanks for helping :)
Practice on the simulator and don't pity yourself. All you can do to get better is practice, practice, practice. For this reason, I consider myself of mediocre skill amongst competitive players, because I don't practice enough.
Countering is a dated concept. It has been impossible to counter every single threat on a team may face since at least gen 4, that is the price paid for an ever growing amount of Pokemon (now 720? and only like 400 or so are allowed in this tournament) You just need to learn how to improvise during a game and outplay your opponent.
Sorry for the double post, but just as a reminder, Xerneas, Yveltal, and Mewtwo are allowed....I started practicing on the sim today and got bitched at by a few little kids who weren't aware of this.
Also if someone can please lend me a good Timid Mewtwo, preferably untrained....please drop me a line. I can hook you up with my 31/31/26/31/27/31 Timid Xerneas in exchange.
P.S. getting wrecked by Klefki and Ditto. fuck Ditto lol

Leroy Barnes ordered to pay more than $24,000 in restitution
Looks like one of the Kia hamsters is going to have to dance with an electronic monitoring bracelet around his ankle for the next three months.
Leroy Barnes, an actor who portrayed a dancing hamster in the famous Kia commercials, pleaded no contest to disability fraud on Thursday, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Barnes, 29, also pleaded to making false statements regarding aid.

According to the DA's office, Barnes collected state disability benefits from September 2010 to September 2011, claiming that he wasn't employed while he was working on the Kia commercials.
The actor was sentenced to 90 days of electronic monitoring. He was also ordered to pay more than $24,000 in restitution and perform 400 hours of community service.
However, his punishment is probably preferable to being locked in a giant hamster cage, with only pellets and water for sustenance.
Watch Barnes shake it during happier times in the video.

Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
Frank Batista threw four shutout innings and Carlos Rojas got the last four outs to nail down the victory, as the EXST Cubs edged the EXST A's 5-4 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action at Papago Park Field #2 in Phoenix this morning.
Batista became the first EXST Cubs pitcher to throw four innings, allowing just one hit and no walks while striking out one. The 21-year old Dominican RHP was the Cubs #1 pitching prospect in the DSL last season, going 4-2 with a 3.55 ERA and 1.20 WHIP, with 7/63 BB/K in 58.1 IP for DSL Cubs #1. So far at EXST, Batista has thrown 9.2 IP, allowing four runs (three ER) on six hits, 2/4 BB/K, with a 2.79 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and .171 OBA.
EXST Cubs co-closer Danny Keefe (2009 14th round draft pick out of the U. of Tampa) had a rough day on the mound, allowing three runs on four hits (including three ringing doubles) in 1.2 IP, before Carlos Rojas extinguished the fire.
3B Charles Thomas (2009 10th round pick out of Edward Waters College) had two hits, scored a run, stole a base, and made two nifty plays at 3B (one a running catch in LF foul territory and the other a nice scoop & throw). The 21-year old 6'4 225 Thomas is now hitting .405 (.463 OBP), and leads the EXST Cubs in BA, OBP, hits, walks, runs scored, RBI, and stolen bases, and has struck out just three times in 41 PA. (He led the AZL Cubs in hits, doubles, and RBI in 2009). Thomas also has a cannon for an arm, one of the most-powerful throwing arms in the organization, making him a good candidate to get moved to the mound if things don't work-out at 3B (he was a combination 3B/RHP in college).
The one negative against Thomas right now (besides the fact he is blocked at 3B by Matt Cerda at Peoria and Josh Vitters at Daytona) is that for a big guy, he just doesn't seem to generate much power (he hit just one HR in 45 games with the AZL Cubs last season, and he had his first EXST XBH—a double--today). Because he is a big dude, Thomas also gets starts at 1B, and while he can play 1B, his arm is wasted there.
Catcher Luis Flores saw his first game action today since Minor League Camp in March, starting the game at DH before moving to catcher in the 6th. He did not reach base, but he did drive-in a run with an F-9 SF. The 23-year old Flores was reinstated from the Suspended List on Monday.
Here is today's abridged box score (EXST Cubs players only):
1. Pin-Chieh Chen, DH #1: 1-3 (K, BB, 1B, 1-3, RBI, SB, CS)
2. Arismendy Alcantara, SS: 0-4 (F-7, K-DP, 3-1, F-9)
3. Xavier Batista, RF: 0-3 (K, BB, K, K)
4. Charles Thomas, 3B: 2-4 (1B, 4-3, 2B, K, R, SB)
5. Bobby Wagner, 1B: 1-4 (P-2, 3-1, 1B, K, R, RBI)
6. Alvaro Ramirez, CF: 0-1 (4-3, BB, 1-3 SH, R, SB)
7a. Blair Springfield, 2B: 0-2 (K, K)
7b. Wes Darvill, 2B: 0-1 (FC, R)
8. Luis Flores, DH-C: 0-2 (F-9, K, F-9 SF, RBI)
9. Jose Guevara, C-DH: 0-3 (F-9, E-5, K, R)
10. Cody Shields, LF: 0-3 (6-3, 4-3, 5-3)
1. Frank Batista – 4.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 4/6 GO/FO, 52 pitches (37 strikes)
2. Alvido Jimenez – 2.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R (0 ER), 1 BB, 0 K, 1 GIDP, 5/0 GO/FO, 25 pitches (13 strikes)
3. Danny Keefe – 1.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R (3 ER), 0 BB, 0 K, 1/3 GO/FO, 36 pitches (25 strikes)
4. Carlos Rojas – 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 2/2 GO/FO, 12 pitches (8 strikes)
SS Arismendy Alcantara E-6 (fielding error allowed batter to reach base – did not score)

Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
Thanks AZ PHIL as always.
I was wondering - since you spend so much time evaluating and looking at various team's youngsters - in your opinion, how does the Cubs A and AA prospects stack up compared with the other systems? Could you rank them possibly?
Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
i'm boycotting AZPhil's posts.
enjoy the break in weather before summer kicks in. this kind of baseball reporting is rare and welcome for the mega-fan. thanks.

It is indeed awesome stuff.
The boycotts are obviously not working. Attendance of 15 -- rather high today.

Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
forget that...they never know when hendry will show up. that will pay a vendor for a week or 2, alone. everything else is just gravy...unless hendry eats all the gravy. still, that's just more profit.
Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
It's a gamble, but the payoff is xtreme
Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
AZ -- is it possible Thomas is just working on things or has he never really hit for power? A guy that size doesn't sound like a slap hitter to me.
Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
Anyone notice that Wells didn't walk anyone yesterday? He knew the wind was blowing out but pitched like a man and took his lumps. He was rewarded with a victory despite giving up 5 runs.
I like it.
Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
It's one of the reasons when people say "Wins are meaningless" they're showing their ignorance. And the end of the year someone is going to look at that start and say "well, he pitched like crap, but he won because he got a ton of run support." He won because he pitched better than the starter he was facing.
Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
Dan Haren pitched better than Carlos Silva today, who got the win?
Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
He's actually going to pitch tomorrow in AA. Eastern League Managers celebrate. I wonder what he's supposed to learn in AAA. How long does he need to stay down to push back arbitration a year?
Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
IIRC mid to late May.

It better not be located in Arizona else I'm going to BCB.

Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
It's not an experiment:It's desperation. The bullpen blows. Any chance the doughnut man buys us another flea market reliever? We all know the pickings are slim. teh mediocrity.

who needs kerry wood when you got carlos marmol...put a little drama into the 9th...fun.
Lookin' around the Sad Central Division
Just an observation:The Dustysizer finally pulled Homer Bailey (5 GS, 0-1, 6.04 ERA) after 121 pitches today.
Bailey had been averaging 5.1 IP/ start this year. Today he went 6.2 allowing 3 runs but Cincy lost to the Cards 6-3.
Wed, 17 Feb 2010 02:35:20 -0500
Sports Illustrated (SI.com) reports Major League Baseball writer Tom Verducci has listed 10 pitchers he believes may suffer from the "Verducci effect," which is a slump from one season to the next following a sudden rise in innings pitched.
At highest risk is San Diego Padres SP Cesar Carrillo, whose 160 2/3 innings marked an increase of 84 innings from the previous year. Other pitchers at risk include Houston Astros SP Bud Norris, San Diego Padres SP Mat Latos, New York Yankees SP Joba Chamberlain, Cincinnati Reds SP Homer Bailey, Florida Marlins SP Josh M. Johnson, Detroit Tigers SPs Rick Porcello and Max Scherzer, Seattle Mariners SP Felix Hernandez and Tampa Bay Rays SP Wade Davis.
Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
bailey threw 105 last time out 6 days ago...he should be fine.
the guy threw 200 innings between the majors and AAA last year.
once again dusty is doing nothing out of the ordinary.
eventually a pitcher has to do what he's being paid to do and...pitch.
Re:...he should be fine.
Bailey has never thrown as many as 120 pitches before as a Red -- maybe never before, period. So, well see if he's going to be fine or not. The post was about the Verducci effect. And so far Homer Bailey (0-1 6.04 ERA) has been having a rough year as predicted. But why Verducci doesn't include minor league innings sure does makes the whole concept weak.
Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
It doesn't make the concept weak, it just means he's doing a bad job monitoring the concept.
Re: Cubs Edge A's at Papago Park
bailey's maybe never thrown 120 pitches for the reds...so what?
120 isn't some magic number. a guy will never throw 120 if he's never going to be put out there to do so.
guys used to throw 120-150 pitches in an outing and they went on to have "just fine" careers. besides all that, he was on 6 days rest and has a 200 inning season behind him. he showed up for 2010 ready to go. too bad he's not that good of a pitcher, anyway. all "stuff."

Good idea. I've actually given up already, though. This might be a record for me.

who got the win?
Sean Marshall
(concrete thinking at it's best)

he should hit more of those. that would be an ideal outcome. /moneyballs
Russell with 19 RBI in July so far. Grand Slams help.
...and Familia with back-to-back blown saves. Blows a one-run lead vs. Rockies today, gets his 2nd consecutive loss.
I am OK with the Mets missing the playoffs and suffering crushing losses at home --- just want them to beat St. Louis.
He played with fire twice agains the Cubs -- unfortunately, the Cubs couldn't stop swinging.
How about Kyle Farnsworth? I know he was consistently upper 90s.
If he puts up Soriano numbers I will be ecstatic
I think Javy is learning--but he's learning to make contact, not learning to lay off pitches out of the zone. A quick glance at his plate discipline numbers on Fangraphs shows that his contact rate is up, especially his contact rate out of the zone, but his swing rate is up too, especially his swing rate out of the zone.
I definitely saw ballpark radar guns go up to 102 on Kerry Wood back when he was still a starter, but who knows how accurate they were.
They've mentioned Henry Rodriguez (2013), Chris Carpenter, and Andrew Cashner as Cubs who have gone 100+. They said Rodriguez was tops at 100.8. Who knows before 2008?
Regarding Heyward--
He'll play regardless of what he does, just like Soriano played for seven years before they finally ditched him.
What can they do? All I can think of is they can keep hiring and firing hitting coaches until they find one who can get him to stop hitting balls with the handle of the bat.
(All those broken bats added to his paycheck is just a bit much.)
Lester will probably be all right.
I think Arrieta might have added too much muscle preparing for that butt-naked ESPN photo shoot. Pitchers are supposed to be loose, not muscled up.
I have basically written off Heyward for this year -- if you are working on major swing changes in late July, you are going to struggle. Hopefully, he can be more productive at the plate next year. It will be interesting to see what they do with him if the Cardinals keep winning and close the gap. Heyward is dead last in the NL in slugging and in the bottom 5 in OPS -- yet still has a positive WAR. Hunh.
Has anybody in a Cub uniform ever thrown a ball 103 before?
He certainly looks better, no doubt, and is a different player than what we saw when he first came up. Full credit to him for changing his approach and saving his career.
But he has zero walks in 35AB since the break, and 10 in 251 AB all year. He does seem to be able to hit some pitches out of the zone, but, a guy with his pop should be drawing more walks. However, it's easy to forget he is still only 23, and probably trying to make an impact to prove he should be an everyday player.
The usual suspects, Molina and Wong. Gyorko drew a walk with two outs, none on. I recall us (particularly Szczur and Bryant) swinging at everything Familia threw.
Yup. Thanks Q

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 152 reviews
We went here to be close to Liverpool and Chester. Quiet location. Country style hotel. Family room has a good size for 4. Spa has a nice size indoor pool. Good breakfast with made to order omelettes, etc. Friendly personnel. Hotel looks a bit dated but is clean and seems well maintained.
This was a well balanced hotel in terms of overall condition, comfort and service. Even though the bedroom was not big, it had a nice view. Although the building was not new, it was well kept and had some decent renovation done. The restaurant/pub was always busy, yet the waiters offered very professional and friendly services. We chose this hotel for its propensity to Chester and Liverpool. It turned out that it had more to offer. Overall, we were satisfied with our experience at Pulford Hotel and Spa.
I was slightly disappointed with my stay at Grosvenor Pulford Hotel and Spa. Although we were given an upgrade when we arrived, the decor was dated. It looked like it was part of the hotel that still needed work done to it. Everything in the room - except for the bathroom - was just a little shabby. On top of that, furniture had not been dusted well. The bedside lamp stands were covered with dust, as was the back of the television. This is not good enough, especially for the price per room. If my room is going to be shabby, the least I expect is for it to be spotlessly clean. On top of that, the prices in the restaurants were ridiculous - they were London prices which I most certainly don't expect to have to pay when not in London, especially since the hotel didn't turn out to be so premium after all. This was supposed to be a special treat for a birthday present, but I definitely arrived and left feeling let down in the experience I had. The spa was lovely, except for the pool area. The changing areas were not great and again, it had a air of shabbiness to it.
Every aspect was excellent other than our ability to receive wi-fi in room 12
Stayed for my birthday and our anniversary, great facilities, food, the staff are friendly and attentive. Ideal location to get into Chester and Cheshire oaks. We'll definitely return in the future.

Baidu and Apple to share revenue from iPhone searches in ChinaThe addition of Chinese search engine Baidu to iOS later this year will give Apple a cut of advertising revenue from the popular website.
Terms of the deal are similar to revenue sharing agreements with other smartphone makers who provide built-in Baidu search, Wang Jing, vice president of the Beijing-based company, said in an interview with Bloomberg. Baidu accounts for about 80 percent of Web searches in China.
Baidu integration is already available in about 80 percent of Android-based smartphones in China. The search engine has helped push its presence on mobile devices by sharing advertising revenue with hardware partners.
Apple announced this week that both iOS 6 and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion will add Baidu as a built-in search option for Chinese users. Apple's focus on China also includes support for micro-blogging via Sina Weibo and video sharing for Youku and Tudou.
Baidu integration iOS will also extend to the voice-driven Siri personal assistant on the iPhone. When iOS 6 launches this fall, Siri will also understand Mandarin, tuned for both Taiwan and the Chinese mainland, and Cantonese, for Hong Kong and the mainland.
Last quarter, Apple's revenue in China tripled, and the country became its largest market outside of the U.S. Under Chief Executive Tim Cook, China has become a major focus for Apple. In January, Cook said the nation's demand for the Apple products, particularly the iPhone, has been "staggering."

Advances in commercial computing technology have allowed for real-time implementations of adaptive array algorithms in radar and sonar systems. Front-end processing has been able to exploit VLSI ASICs and FPGAs to perform bulk filtering and beamforming, while massively parallel processors can be used to handle the more data-driven adaptive processing requirements. This paper focuses on how various processing architectures can be used to provide the high computational and communication specifications for adaptive algorithms while still maintaining the continuous throughput and low latency requirements of real-time applications.

You can alter RDBMS structure, when JR missing such functionality. (I haven't checked latest release, yet) So unless you are 200% sure of what you have to have, don't use NodeTypes. So far we alter structure this way: backup (with JCR-Backup) -> change node types -> create new repo -> update backed-up XML -> restore it. -- Ivan Latysh email@example.com
