Night of the Scorpion
"Night of the Scorpion" is a poem by Nissim Ezekiel included the AQA Anthology.It starts in a house at night where it is raining and a scorpion in order to take some shelter comes to the house. This poem is about how the scorpion stung the poets mother and how he escaped and the mothers love for her children.
The poem opens in a way that suggests reflection--the speaker remembers (and, is so, older now) the night his mother was stung by a scorpion that hid beneath a bag of rice to escape from the rain. The speaker manages to suggest that the scorpion is demonic with its "diabolic" tail. The scorpion then flees the scene. A picture of a religious village is created by what the neighbours do ("buzz the name of God"). It is also implied that they live in a caring, close-knit village by the fact that the neighbours feel welcome at all. The speaker is displeased by their arrival, comparing them to flies (unwanted and irritating). They tried to provide reasons and many relied on superstition. Much was done in an attempt to save the silently suffering mother. The speaker watches, helpless. The speaker's father who was sceptic and rationalist, tried to save his wife by pouring a little paraffin upon the bitten toe and put a match to it. After twenty hours, the mother is okay and says that she is glad she was stung and not her children, displaying her overwhelming love and motherly affection for them. It came from a religious background and Nissim wrote this poem trying to give the impression of anger.

An adaptation of a cutter spindle and powered cutter spindle feed of our invention for progressively feeding a-cutter spindle towardand a cutting tool thereon into a work piece as the cutting tool is'moved laterally through the work piece in cutting engagement therewith, is shown byway; offexample-as embodied in a tracer controlled, pantographic engraving machine of a particular type. The invention is not, however, limited or restricted to this particular type of machine, or for.- performing any specific character of-work, as broadly the cutter spindle-and power feed-mechanism combination and. organization exemplifiedby this example is intended and adapted for use in any machine or organization where. it may be desiredto progressively, automatically feed. a laterally movable cutting tool into a work piece during lateral cutting I movements of that tool through the work piece.
Referring to Fig. 1 of the drawings, the examplemachine happens to be of the general tracer controlled, pantographic type illustrated insuch U'. S. patents-as the following, namely, 1,790,581January 27, 1931-; 1,881,'500'October 11, 1932; 1,925,'036-August 29, 1933; and 2,000,838--May 7, 1935; in that it embodies the same general arrangement and association of a tracer controlled pantograph with a rotary cutter spindle mounted in a pivoted link supported cutter head for universal lateral movements by the movements of the pantograph in tracing a pattern to thereby universally laterally move a cutting tool in cutting relation through a work piece.
A portion of a machine of such general type is illustrated herein, and includes a vertically disposed column structure II], the upper portion only of which is shown. At the forward side of column I there is provided any suitable work holding means or table identified generally in Fig. 1 by the reference character W. A cutter head I4 is supported in position over and above work table W on the outer end of a supporting link structure identified generally by the reference character I5 (see U. S. Patent 2,000,838 referred to above) for universal lateral movements of the cutter head in a horizontal plane over the work table. The supporting link structure I5 is comprised of a link I5a which is pivotally mounted on and supported from a rigid, horizontally disposed arm structure IIla on and extending forwardly from the upper end of the column structure I0, and a link I5b pivotally coupled to the forward end of link I511. The cutter head I4 is mounted in vertically disposed position at the outer, free end of such link I 51). A rotary cutter spindle unit I6 is mounted in cutter head I4 and includes the rotary cutter spindle I6a journalled therein in vertically disposed position and movable as a unit therewith. Cutter spindle unit I6 is itself mounted in vertically disposed position in cutter head I5 for vertical sliding movements axially therein to raise and lower the unit with the cutter spindle I6a toward and from the work table W to thereby move a suitable cutting tool, such as a milling cutter C to and from cutting engagement with a work piece B on table W. This cutter spindle unit I6 is in this example spring loaded by a spring I6b which acts to continuously bias the cutter spindle Ifia in a direction to move the cutter spindle from cutting relation with a work piece B on the table W. The mounting and spring loading of the cutter spindle IBa in the cutter spindle unit I6 is in general accord with the established practice for mounting the cutter spindle in this type of machine, as exemplified for example in the U. S. patents referred to above, and in such U. S. Patents as Nos. 1,750,594-March 11, 1930, and 2,128,611August 30, 1938.
A pantograph linkage P is mounted in horizontally disposed position above the cutter head I4 and the cutter spindle unit I6 therein. Panto- 1 graph P is pivotally hung or suspended from a rigid supporting arm I0b which is mounted on rigid supporting structure Illa of the column I0. Pantograph P is comprised of the sets of parallel bars or links 2 and 4, and 3 and 6, respectively, and is pivotally mounted and suspended from arm IIlb by a pivotal connection I00 between the arm I01) and a slider block 4a which is mounted on and which slidably adjustably receives the pantograph link 4. The movement reducing bar or link 6 is pivotally coupled with the upper side of the link I5b of the cutter head supporting link structure I5 by a slider block 6a which is pivotally mounted on link I51) in position above but in 4 pivoted slider block 6a adjustably receives therein and mounts the link 6 of pantograph P.
Link 3 of pantograph P is extended longitudinally to provide the tracer arm T which mounts at its outer free end a stylus S for scanning or tracing engagement over a suitable pattern or master. It so happens that in the example ma chine a power driven master M is provided with which stylus S is connected and by which stylus S is caused to be moved around an endless profile path provided by the master unit. Our invention is not limited to the use of a power driven master unit as the stylus S on the tracer arm T may be manually operated to scan a pattern or master. In whatever manner stylus S is caused to trace a pattern, such tracing movements thereof will be transmitted to the pantograph linkage P by tracer arm T. Such movements of the tracer arm will in turn be transmitted by the pantograph through link 6 thereof and the slide block 6a, to the cutter head supporting link structure I5 and to the cutter spindle unit I 6 mounted in the link I5b as movements laterally of the spindle I6a in accurately reduced scale to the movements laterally of stylus S in following a pattern.
In the example machine the cutter spindle I6a mounts a spindle driving pulley I thereon at the lower end thereof and a suitable belt drive is provided which includes a belt I'I engaged over and in driving relation with the spindle pulley I60. It is not considered necessary to disclose herein in detail such belt drive beyond the illustrated portion of the belt I! as such a drive is old and well known and may be considered to be of the general types disclosed in the U. S. Patents Nos. 1,790,581January 27, 1931, and 1,925,036 August 29, 1933.
In accordance with out invention We provide ror automatically feeding the cutter spindle Ifia toward the work table W as the cutter spindle is universally laterally moved thereover by the pantograph linkage P to thereby feed a cutting tool C into a work piece B on table W as such cutting tool is moved laterally in cutting relation through the work piece. Following the teachings of our invention, such progressive feeding of the cutter spindle I6a may include periods in which the feed axially of the cutter C by the cutter spindle into the work piece is arrested but the period of feed and the period or periods of arrestation of feed, if any, are in the particular example hereof, preferably carried out and performed in a single automatic cycle.
The cutter spindle IE1: is continuously biased by the spring I 61) in a direction to move the spindle and a cutter C thereon away from a work piece B on table W. Cutter spindle I6a is only moved toward the work piece B by the application of forces to the spindle unit I6 of a magnitude to overcome the spring loading provided by the spring I 6b. In the example adaptation of the invention, the outer or upper end of spindle unit I6 is provided with an upstanding member such as the pin 39. This pin 39 is axially disposed relative to the unit I6 and to the depending cutter spindle IBa at the opposite end of the unit. Pin 39 provides by its upper end the point at which spindle feeding forces may be eiliciently applied to the spindle unit I6 to move that unit downwardly and inwardly through its mounting in the cutter head I4 in order to thereby move cutter spindle I6a and a cutter C mounted thereon into operative cutting engagement with a work piece axial alignment with cutter spindle IBa. The B mounted on table W,

The feeding: of thecutter: spindle Sui-and: its: cutter C'is, by our invention; carriedput auto.- matically by an organization which hastaken a form in the present example, in which aupow-er driven cam member 4|] is rotatedi with'thecam surface 4| thereof continuously engaged by'thc upper end of the pin 39 f Jspin'dle unit .I so that such pin functions as a cam follower under'the: action of the biasing spring ISbi'of spin'dle unit I63 Referring now to Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5, the cam member 40' is in the form of. acircular disc having'ta peripheral flange 40a therearound at the .inner or under side thereof, with'theinner annular edge of this flange providing the annular cam surface 4| concentric with the'axis of rotation'of thecamu Byour invention; we mount'the cam member 40 on the link |5b ofthe supporting linkage I5 in' a position above cutter spindle unit IG'and the actuating pin 33:thereof so that the cam surface 4i will be continuously engaged by pin 39Jas the cam is rotatedfaboutan' axis parallel .withbut radially offset from the. vertical o'r'lon'gitudinal axis of cutterunit'lt and thecutter'spindle |6a therein mounted.
In'the specific example apparatus rhereof th'e link ldb of the cutter head supporting link struce ture I5 is provided with an over arm |5c which extends outwardly over and across and which'is spaced from the cutter head l4 and theouteror upper end of thecutterspindle unit It and its actuating pin or camfollower 39 (see Figs. 2 and 4). The feed. cam 40 is mounted from this over arm |5cbetween such arm and the cutter spindle unit it, on a stud shaft 42. This shaft szis mounted in fixed position on and extends inward 1y from theover arm I50 with its longitudinal axis parallel with but offset radially a distance in wardly from the longitudinal axis of the cutter spindle unit l6 and its actuatingpin 39. The feed cam 49 is journaled and confined on the inwardly extended length of shaft 42 bya suitable annular anti-friction bearing assembly 42a; The cam. and its bearing assembly l-lZa 'are' preferably removably mounted and confined in. position" on shaft 42 by a nut member 42b threaded onto the inner end of the shaft 42. relative positioning of the shaft 42. and'the feed cam 'itlthereon, is such that that portion of the cam profile or surface 4| above the pin 39 is aligned with that pin andengaged thereby in slidable, camming contact therewith. As'theicam surface i4is annular and is concentric withfthe axis of rotation of cam 46.! on its mounting'sh'aft at, it follows that as cam'4d is revolved, the annular cam surface 4| thereof will continuously pass through the plane of the axis of pin 39 for constant engagement of the cam surface 4| by such pin.
The feed cam 40 in this example is power driven from an electric motor FM which, in this instance, is mounted and supported from structure it in a location spaced a distance below the master unit M, as will be clear by reference to Fig. l. Preferably the motor FM is controllable selectively as to the rate of speed of'operation thereof throughthe medium of a rheostat 43 mounted on the column structure above motor FM. The rheostat 43 may be provided with an operating knob 43a in a position readily accessible to the operator. A speed reduction unit 114 is operatively connected with and driven from motor FM and provides a power output or take-off shaft 44a extending upwardly therefrom. Any suitable flexible shafting 45 is connected with the take-off shaft 44a and extends upwardly therefrom and The location and the 4 forwardly-across column structure l0 and-itsarm.

Flvlitoworm' i'l freely-permits of such movements with a minimum of interference therewith.
The position of a feed cam'MLrelative-to the cutter spindleunit' lfi'is' such that the maximum outward or upward movement of cutter spindle unit 15 which is permittedrby. any pointon the. annular'cam surface 4| is less than themaxi mum; unrestrained outward movement possible to thatunit, so that, the biasing spring |6b of the' unit .will actto effectively maintain the pin 39 biasedwconstantly;into engagement with the cam surface;
The annular camsurface 4| isgeneratedto liei-in a generally helical on spiral path about the axis "of the cam and its :mounting shaft 42, from a" point 'or'sectorr on. cam surface 4| which when in engagement with'pin' EQ-permits the cutter unit lfiito move upwardly or outwardly-under its springi loading to therebyvmove the cutterC' on cutter spindle l6 fromcutting engagement-with a' work pieceBr, to apoint-or sector thereon at which the" cutter spindle is is forced inwardly to position cutter'C forits maximum, predetermined depth of .cut in the'work piece. Referring toJFig; 3, the=lowpointer sector on cam surface4|-at .which-the-cutter spindle unit it is in position with the cutter C mounted thereon removed from" operative engagement with. the work. piece is' indicated at a, while the high point: orsectoron cam surface' il at which the cuttertspi'ndle unit lfi-is-forced inwardly to.posi-. tion the cutter C at maximum depth of cut inthe work 'piece'; is indicated: at b. In thev particular form-"of the cam: 4d. of =this example,- the-points a and": b on cam-surface- 4| are joined" by a straight edge: portion 'cxof'cain flange Mia which is disposed in =a=planeisubstantially parallel with the axis of the cam. Hence, when pin 39 reaches point D on cam surface 4| movement of the cam 46 to the right or in an anti-clockwise direction will cause pin 39 with cutter spindle IE to abruptly move from point I) outwardly or upwardly under the action of spring |6b to engage pin 39 with the low point a of the cam surface and thus move cutter C from operative cutting engagement with a work piece B. From the "low point or sector a, cam surface 4| generally, progressively spirals through a relatively fiat spiral path around the cam to the high point or sector 1) thereof. Cam 40 is designed to provide the annular cam surface 4| thereof for a complete spindle feeding cycle of the cutter spindle from its starting position to its position of maximum depth of cut in a work piece in one (1) revolution of the cam.
The cam 48 of the instant example has the cam surface 4| thereof designed for controlling automatically in a single revolution of the cam, the feed of the cutter spindle during the cutting or milling out on a work piece B of an integral member having a continuous uninterrupted profile or contour therearound. In the example machine with which this cam 40 is employed, the powered master unit M provides an enlarged scale endless track which is a precise replica of the contour or profile of the integral member to be milled out from the work piece. In this particular form of cam 40, the cam surface 4| is formed so that the high sector 1) thereof provides a dwell of the required number of degrees around the cam surface to permit the cutter C to make one or more passes around the integral member which has been milled out from the work piece B. During such passes the inward feed of cutter C has been arrested and the cutter is maintained at the maximum depth of the cut required to form the integral member from the work piece. The sector of the cam surface 4| at such dwell is disposed in a plane perpendicular to the axes of the cam 49 and the cutter spindle unit pin 39, so that movement of this dwell sector I) of the cam surface that is in engagement with pin 39 will not result in any inward feeding movement of the cutter C. Similarly, a dwell of the required number of degrees for delaying initiation of the feed of cutter C at the start of a milling cycle may be provided through the required number of degrees through a sector on cam surface 4| beginning at the low point a thereof. Such a sector of cam surface 4| has the plane of the surface thereof perpendicular to the axes of the cam 49 and pin 39 of the cutter spindle unit l6. And in similar manner, if desired or found expedient in any particular design of cam 40 for performing a specific cutting operation, a dwell or dwells may be provided on the cam surface 4| at any location or locations intermediate the low point a and the high point 12.
Other departures from the normal progressive spiral path of cam surface 4|, at any desired point or points thereon, may be provided in order to control the feeding movements of the cutter spindle unit IE to meet any particular conditions which may be encountered in the cutting, milling or engraving of a work piece by the cutter 0.
Attention is directed to the fact that due to the removable mounting provided for the feed cam 40, such cam may be readily replaced by a cam of different characteristics for controlling the feed of the cutter spindle unit |6, so that,
a wide range of cams may be made available for for interchangeable mounting in the machine or combination of the invention in order that the combination may be operated to cut out, mill or engrave over a wide variety of operations, designs, profiles and contours.
It will also be evident that various other embodiments, modifications, changes, substitutions, eliminations, additions and variations may be resorted to without departing from the basic spirit and scope of our invention, and hence we do not intend or desire to limit our invention to the embodiment and application thereof herein disclosed, or to the exact and specific constructions and arrangements thereof, except as may be required by any intended limitations thereto in any of the appended claims.

One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
Kyler Burke lined a game-tying RBI single to CF with two outs in the bottom of the 9th, and Roberto Sabates followed with a line-drive game-winning RBI single to LF, as the EXST Cubs rallied to edge the EXST Angels 9-8 this morning in a "Rush Hour Special" (9 AM start) at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa.
The Cubs won despite committing five errors, including two by pitcher Israel Camacaro on consecutive sacrifice bunt attempts in the top of the 9th inning (Camacaro also hit two Angels batters with pitches, including one on the neck just below the lower jaw), and one each by 3B Junior Lake (overthrow), SS Jose Made (bobble), and 3B Josh Vitters (overthrow).
Vitters actually entered the game as a "defensive replacement" (he still has some pain when swinging the bat), and had a total of two chances at 3B, both ground balls.
He air-mailed the throw over the first-baseman's head for an error on the first one, and the second one almost turned out to be an error, too, except for an outstanding play by 1st baseman Drew Rundle, who caught the Vittersation while crossing the bag such that he had to drag his right foot over the base as he fell into foul territory.
Vitters reminds me of another top Cubs 3rd base prospect from the recent past by the name of David Kelton. Like Vitters, Kelton also had a scatter-gun arm, the only difference being Vitters still might improve, while Kelton (I believe) is out of baseball.
That said, the Cubs really might want to start to think a little bit about moving Vitters to 1B or maybe RF (unless his arm becomes a hindrance in the outfield, too). The Cubs probably waited too long to move Kelton to another position, because by the time they did, his defensive problems had affected his hitting, too. Hopefully they won't make the same mistake with Vitters.
On the offensive side of the ball, Kyler Burke, Junior Lake, and Jose Made had three hits a piece, and Lake also had three RBI. Additionally, Roberto Sabates had two RBI hits, and mighty mite Dwayne Kemp slammed two doubles off the LF fence (and both were near-home runs).
While the EXST Cubs were playing the EXST Angels on Field #3, RHP Angel Guzman and ex-OF (now LHP) Luke Sommer were throwing "live" BP on Field #2 to some of the hitters who weren't in the EXST Cubs starting lineup (Nelson Perez, John Contreras, and Bryan Jost).
Guzman threw 20 pitches, once again hitting 94 MPH with his fastball. The main difference between this outing and the last one was that this time Guzman threw about 2/3 strikes (13 strikes and 7 balls), while last Monday he threw only 50% strikes.
Although Luke Sommer was converted to pitcher just a couple of weeks ago, it's not like he hasn't done it before. Sommer was a two-way player (P-OF) in high school in Canby, Oregon, and so he already had a feel for pitching. He just hadn't done it in a while. (He played OF at the University of San Francisco and last year at AZL Cubs).
I guess Sommer would probably be best-described as a "soft-tossing lefty," but you can see he has a really nice curve ball (his slider sucks, though), he knows how to throw a change-up, and his fast ball has some sink to it. But it's still way too early to tell if he has what it takes to be a pitcher in pro ball.
While Alvaro Sosa caught Guzman's "live" BP session, newly-minted catcher Robinson Chirinos (who was a utility infielder at AA Tennessee just a week ago) had the honor to catch Luke Sommer's first "live" BP. I'm sure it was a thrill for both of them, something they will not soon forget.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1. George Matheus, DH #1: 1-3 (R, BB, HBP)
2. Kevin Soto, RF: 1-5 (R, SB, CS)
3. Dwayne Kemp, 2B: 2-4 (R, 2 2B, HBP, CS)
4a. Kyler Burke, 1B-LF: 3-5 (RBI, 2 R, 3B, K)
4b. Nelson Perez, PR: 0-0 (R)
5. Roberto Sabates, DH #2: 2-5 (2 RBI, 2B, R, K)
6. Drew Rundle, LF-1B: 0-2: (R, BB, HBP, 2 K)
7a. Junior Lake, 3B: 3-4 (3 RBI, 2B)
7b. Josh Vitters, 3B: 0-0
8. Carlos Perez, C: 0-3 (RBI-SF, K)
9. Jose Made, SS: 3-4 (R)
10. Cesar Salazar, CF: 1-3 (BB)
1. Julio Pena - 3.0 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K (1/7 GO/FO)
2. Dionis Nunez - 2.0 IP, 4 H, 3 R (2 ER), 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HBP (1/2 GO/FO)
3. Jake Muyco - 2.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HBP (3/2 GO/FO)
4. Israel Camacaro - 2.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 0 K, 2 HBP, 1 WP (3/2 GO/FO)
1. Junior Lake (E5 overthrow to 1st base)
2. Jose Made (E6 bobble at SS)
3. Josh Vitters (E5 overthrow to 1st base)
4. Israel Camacaro (E1 overthrow to 3rd base on sac bunt attempt)
5. Israel Camacaro (E1 overthrow to 1st base on sac bunt attempt)
Carlos Perez: 1-1 CS, and picked runner off third base 2-5.
OUTFIELD ASSIST: Kevin Soto, threw out runner 9-5 trying to advance from 1st to 3rd on a single to RF.
WEATHER: Overcast with temperature around 70, breezy, and with rain imminent. (In fact the rain started about an hour after the game ended, and it's supposed to rain for about 36 hours, with snow expected on the Mogollon Rim between Flagstaff and Show Low).
ATTENDANCE: 4 (the crowd was probably kept down due to the threatening weather conditions).
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
Is that the rim on the Show Low cup? Sigh...anyhow...thanks for the updates!
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
Thanks as usual for the cool updates, Phil. What do you think the club's expectations are at this point for Guzman, realistically? Are they hoping he progresses quickly through the system this year, with a possible call - up by Sept.?
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
Thanks Phil, as always.
Why is Kyler Burke back at EXST? Last thing I knew, he was in Peoria...
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
Thanks again for the extended update, Phil - Guzman sounds a little like Fergie Jenkins regarding his general attitude and comportment.
"Some MLB players who come to Fitch Park on rehab assignments are stuck-up and act like they are above it all."
You wouldn't be referring to a specific former Cub who specialized in towel drills, would you?

Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
David Kelton was named Head Varsity Baseball Coach for the Springwood Wildcats on November 17, 2006. David recently retired from the Atlanta Braves organization after spending the 2006 season in Richmond.
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
AZ Phil, I was just wondering if Ryan Searle was still in Mesa. I was perusing the MLB Australia Academy Program web site and I noticed that Searle was listed on the Academy roster (along with guys we knew would be there - Cody Hams, Adam Spencer and Hak-ju Lee).
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
Az Phil, Who do you think are the top prospects still left at Fitch?
SAM FULD update
From KnoxNews
"The Smokies ran themselves out of a run in the eighth. Camp and SAM FULD singled with one out and Colvin drew a walk from reliever Luis Valdez to fill the bases.
Right fielder Perry snared Craig's sinking liner while sliding on his belly. Camp prepared to tag but FULD inexplicably sped by him and was automatically out.
Instead of tying the game, the Smokies (16-31) lost for the 11th time in their last 12 games."
Mind you, that was the only time Sam (.038 BA) has been on base this year in 26 PA's.
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
Possibly 3/44, but The Big Lead had a funny article today about Dusty trying to ruin Edinson Volquez's arm, and also making more racist(?)/stereotypical remarks.
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
Great catch. Dusty and Marge Schott would have been fabulous together in Cincinnati.
Well, maybe not...
SMOKIES burn their batting gloves and two bats after 6-0 loss
Hmm, seems like bonfires are a natural for a team called the Smokies, but
It's hard to imagine how our AA franchise filled with AAA vets the likes of Matt Craig, Jake Fox and Sam Fuld and top draft picks Tyler Colvin, Ryan Harvey, Jeff Samardzija and Donald Veal could be this (16-32) bad.
Re: SMOKIES burn their batting gloves and two bats after 6-0 los
For the third time, I don't understand why the record of our AA affiliate matters at all.
What concerns me is that Harvey, Fox, and Colvin are playing poorly. Samardzija can't get anybody out. Veal's still walking 4.5 batters per 9. Roquet has a 5.84.
I think you'd still be bitching if the team was 16-32, but those guys were actually playing well.
Re: SMOKIES burn their batting gloves and two bats after 6-0 los
right, sure, whatever
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
If we really want to test Felix Pie's "knack" for playing for championship teams, they should have demoted him to AA.
Re: they should have demoted him to AA
This is not out of the realm of possibility.

SEAN MARSHALL update
Paul Sullivan wrote this (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-23-cubs-bit...) column today suggesting that SEAN MARSHALL was likely replacing SEAN GALLAGHER in the rotation but (not surprisingly) he seems to be completely unaware that MARSHALL was pulled in the 4th inning yesterday because he suffered a HAMSTRING INJURY.
At any rate, Marshall is going to be examined today.
Re: SEAN MARSHALL update
1- this news is a few days old about marshall/gallagher replacement
2- is there anything cubs related you actually like...or just the bad news...or just blowing up non-news into bad news?
read almost every post above by you for sample of what everyone else here sees out of you. all we see is bitching, "i told you so", and "everything sucks and here's why and if you counter me you're a moron".
have fun, dude.
Re: SEAN MARSHALL update
The return of ST?

to be fair, his point in the post i replied to is valid...its just the scope of the total posts combined.
the "marshall plan" was tipped a few days ago.

Marshall set back by hamstring pull
Injury at Iowa derails Piniella's plan to add left-hander to staff
May 24, 2008
BY GORDON WITTENMYER [email protected]
PITTSBURGH -- The Cubs' left-handed pitching problems took another hit with the news that Sean Marshall pulled a hamstring during a rough outing for Class AAA Iowa on Thursday night.
Club officials say they expect Marshall to miss at least one start. This comes less than a week after demoted starter Rich Hill went on the seven-day disabled list at Iowa with back spasms.
You are an unbelievable fuck crunch.
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
"For the third time, I don't understand why the record of our AA affiliate matters at all."
I'd say it's more like the umpteenth time that we've been dragged into discussing this nonsensical ranting about minor league team records. If you're so hell - bent on jawing ad nauseum forever more about this subject that's apparently fascinating only to you, how about some relevant facts to prove your point? Facts such as:
- stats displaying each minor league team's W/L records (this would include each MLB franchise) each year, and how many players from each team that were summarily promoted to the next level of ability;
- percentages of those players that were ultimately promoted to the big league club;
- length of service in the major leagues for each of those players, coupled with their lifetime stats.
I'm not a stat guy by any means, but a layman could at least make an attempt at proving your contention with something approaching these numbers, so I'd suggest you get right to it - or else put a sock in it.
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
How about you do all that research and get off my back?
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
pretty sure he is on navigator/cwtp's back, not your back, wes.
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
Fair enough. However, if that's case, then he shouldn't quote me at the top of his post, and then proceed to refer to "you" throughout the entire thing.
Re: One Angel throws "live" BP, others drop "live" game
How on earth did you misconstrue that I was referring to you, Wes? I've already had this discussion with the aforementioned commenter last week. Calm down, please.

Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.
I hope the D and bullpen show up. Cubs haven't had much luck against Davies, and he's been going well lately. A little uncomfortable with the Cards only 6.5 back--feels like they're right on our tails compared to the 11 game lead I've grown accustomed to.
Cardinals, stop that. Right now.
In a year or two, a lot of fans are going to point at trading him as a mistake. He'll probably be slashing something like 280/400/480 for Seattle at the time. Of course, by WAR, he'll still be worth less than 3, since we're talking zero defensive value.
vogelbomb debut for tacoma (AAA SEA)... 3-3, 1bb, 1 HR, 1 double...DH'd.
while he mostly played 1st considerably more than DH for AAA CHC, DJ Peterson is probably going to see most of the time at 1st for AAA SEA.
Carl Jr.! Very nice!
Baez with another "WTF?" play trying a delayed steal with a runner on 3rd and one out.. Remarkable talent, needs to make better decisions.
m.montgomery up in the pen with a man on 2nd, 2 out, and rondon 20 pitches into the inning.
...and rondon ends it 22 pitches in with a popout to RF.
I gotta say with the crappy defense the Brewers have displayed outside of Fowler I'm pretty disappointed the offense hasn't shown more and Rizzo seems to be very swing happy lately. That said my god am I happy Madden has finally given Carl Edwards a chance after multiple times up with nothing. I don't think he could handle a starting role with his body frame but his stuff plays so well in a relief role and he seems to be able to handle high stress situations very well.
2nd at bat. Fowler is good for the Cubs run differential.
welcome back fowler.
More slow news...
Did Davey Martinez have to bring the shotgun?
glad to see almora going to AAA to get work.
.265/.291/.422 through 86PA...2hr, 7 doubles.
i don't expect too much of an improvement when he's taking over CF next year, but the team doesn't really need him right now as much as they need him to get regular work (imo).
CHITOWNMVP01: The Cubs MLB Reserve List (40-man roster) has had one slot open since 7/6 (when RHRP Joel Peralta was Designated for Assignment).
The problem with the September roster is all of the pitching changes. They should find a way to limit pitchers to twelve except for extra inning games. More pinch hitters or pinch runners do little to slow the game down and are more fun than endless calls to the bullpen. I also think the fans get cheated when they use position players to pitch because employed a half dozen pitchers with righty-lefty switches. Having as few as four positions players on the bench to start a game also leads to some pretty ugly defensive substitutions.
