Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Michael Gilmartin laced a double off the right-field fence with one out in the bottom of the 9th, knocking-in the tying run and the winning run, as the A's Split Squad #2 rallied with three runs in the 8th and two in the 9th to edge the Cubs 7-6 in AZ Instructional League action at Papago Park Baseball Complex Field #2 in Phoenix this afternoon.
The Cubs were in control early, as starter Aaron Kurcz (Cubs 2010 10th round pick out of the College of Southern Nevada) threw three shutout innings, allowing just one broken-bat single and no walks while striking out three. The 20-year old RHP started his college career at the Air Force Academy, before resigning after his freshman year and enrolling at CSN, where he was a teammate of the Washington Nationals #1 draft pick (and 2010 overall #1 pick) Bryce Harper. Kurcz had the misfortune of allowing a walk-off HR in the JUCO World Series that eliminated Southern Nevada, but then he had a very impressive debut pro season after signing with the Cubs, going 2-1 with a 1.98 ERA and 0.95 WHIP, with 48 strikeouts in just 27.1 IP combined between AZL Cubs and Boise.
Although Kurcz likely projects as a closer or 8th inning set-up guy at the MLB level (he features a mid-90's heater and a hard-breaking slider), he has been used as a starter so far at Instructs (two GS), as the Cubs are apparently doing with him what they sometimes do with pitchers they project as late-inning relievers, and that is use them as starting pitchers at the lower levels of the minor leagues to force them to use (and hopefully develop) their secondary pitches, and to accumulate as many innings as possible as soon as possible.
While Kurcz was shutting out the A's, the Cubs scored one run in the 2nd on a two-out RBI ground single to CF by Max Kwan, and then another run in the top of the 3rd on a one-out single by Marco Hernandez (his first of three hits today), a HBP, and a two-out RBI bloop single to right-center by Justin Bour.
After the A's tied the game in the 5th, the Cubs scored three times in the 6th as Cubs 2010 3rd round pick Micah Gibbs (LSU) crashed a one-out solo HR over the RF fence, and Cubs 2010 2nd round pick Reggie Golden (Wetumpka HS - Wetumpka, AL) ripped a two-out two-run RBI double down the LF line, scoring Dustin Geiger and Xavier Batista with the Cubs 4th and 5th runs of the day. The Cubs finished their scoring (and took a 6-2 lead) in the top of the 8th, as Geiger, Batista, and Kwan stroked three consecutive two-out singles to plate one run.
But the Cubs bullpen could not hold the lead, as 19-year old Dominican RHP Amaury Paulino surrendered three runs (but only one ER) in the bottom of the 8th on a lead-off double and a walk, two errors, and a passed ball. Then RHP Kevin Rhoderick (Cubs 2010 9th round draft pick out of Oregon State) came into the game in the bottom of the 9th trying to protect a 6-5 Cub lead and rack up the save, but he didn't fool anybody, as the A's strung together two singles and Gilmartin's walk-off double to win the game 7-6. Rhoderick had an impressive pro debut last Saturday at Fitch Park, but he didn't appear to have the same velocity on his fastball or control of his slider in today's outing.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1a. Evan Crawford, RF: 1-4 (E4, F-8, 1B, K, SB)
1b. Oliver Zapata, CF: 0-1 (5-3)
2a. Logan Watkins, 2B: 0-2 (6-3 GIDP, HBP, L-6 DP)
2b. Wes Darvill, 2B: 0-2 (L-8, K)
3a. Justin Bour, 1B: 1-3 (6-3, 1B, K, RBI)
3b. Ryan Cuneo, 1B: 0-2 (4-3, 3-U)
4a. Micah Gibbs, C: 1-2 (F-8, BB, HR, RBI, R)
4b. Engel Santana, C: 0-1 (3-U)
5. Dustin Geiger, 3B: 2-4 (P-4, 5-U FC, 1B, 1B, 2 R, SB)
6. Xavier Batista, DH-LF: 2-3 (1B, K, BB, 1B, 2 R, SB)
7. Max Kwan, DH #2: 2-4 (1B, 3-1, K, 1B, 2 RBI)
8. Reggie Golden, CF-RF: 2-3 (K, 1B, 2B, BB, 2 RBI)
9. Chris Huseby, LF-DH: 0-4 (F-9, K, 4-3, 4-3)
10. Marco Hernandez, SS: 3-4 (1B, 4-3, 1B, 2B, R, PO)
1. Aaron Kurcz: 3.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K, 36 pitches (21 strikes), 3/3 GO/FO
2. Tarlandus Mitchell: 2.0 IP, 3 H, 2 R (1 ER), 2 BB, 2 K, 38 pitches (22 strikes), 4/0 GO/FO
3. Luis Liria: 2.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 27 pitches (19 strikes), 3/2 GO/FO
4. Amaury Paulino: 1.0 IP, 1 H 3 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 1 K, 21 pitches (12 strikes), 2/0 GO/FO
5. Kevin Rhoderick: 0.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R (2 ER), 0 BB, 0 K, 17 pitches (11 strikes), 0/1 GO/FO
3B Dustin Geiger E-5 (fielding error allowed batter to reach base – eventually scored unearned run)
SS Marco Hernandez E-6 (fielding error allowed batter to reach base – eventually scored unearned run)
CF Oliver Zapata E-8 (errant throw from CF on play at the plate allowed batter-runner to advance an extra base – eventually scored unearned run)

Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
AZ Phil,
Is Logan Watkins at instructs to work on something in particular? Thanks for your reports!
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
10th inning on PBS.
Writer Bosley(?) said he saw a "hall of famer" drink a powdered drink. Asked player what it was? Player said "Jose Conseco milk shake". Bosley said that player had his best hr season ever that year.
Who was it? Start speculation now......
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Hitters voted into the HOF by the BBWAA since 1993 (have to be retired 5 years and Canseco's first 40-40 year was 1988: Which of them had his best HR year after 1988?
Mike (steamin' pile 'o) Schmidt '95 - no
Robin Yount '99 - no
George Brett '99 - no
Tony Perez '00 - no
Carlton Fisk '00 - no
Dave Winfield '01 - no
Kirby Puckett '01 - no
Ozzie Smith '02 - no
Eddie Murray '03 - no
Gary Carter '03 - no
Paul Molitor '04 - yes (22 in '93)
Ryne Sandberg '05 - yes (40 in '90)
Wade Boggs '05 - no
Cal Ripken Jr. '07 - yes (34 in '91)
Tony Gwynn '07 - yes (17 in '97)
Jim Rice '09 - no
Rickey Henderson '09 - yes (tied high @ 28 in '90)
Andre Dawson '10 - no
So, in essence, Molitor, Sandberg, Ripken, Gwynn and Henderson.
OK, boys (do we have any females posting comments on this site?), there's the list of eligibles -- have at it.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Joe - thank you so much for the research!
Later in the program when they were talking about Ripken's streak, Bosley was the main speaker.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
You guys do realize that it's OK to drink protein shakes, right?
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
yes, I believe he was alluding to that player was juicing.
is it possible to take steroids in shake form?
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Name your steroid. You can get it in a powder and drink it in a shake.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Yes it's possible to take them orally. Every drink that every bodybuilder takes is not loaded with HGH and steriods, though. Just because you drink the same Muscle Milk as Jose Canseco, doesn't mean you're on steriods - and it's irresponsible for anyone to even imply as much.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
"Writer Bosley(?) said he saw a "hall of famer" drink a powdered drink. Asked player what it was? Player said "Jose Conseco milk shake". Bosley said that player had his best hr season ever that year."
Your right, it is irresponsible for the player to imply that HE was taking steriods.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Did he say this after Canseco's book came out? Did the guy even know Canseco was using steroids?
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
It quote was made after Boswell reported on Canseco taking steroids in 1988 (see note below). Given that the unnamed player was talking to Boswell, I believe we can infer that he knew what the phrase "Jose Conseco milk shake" was meant to convey.
Tom Boswell Journalist
"(Canseco) is the most conspicuous example of a player who has made himself great with steroids."
Source: CBS News, Sept. 1988
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
do have to agree with TRN on this...
kind of shitty to say anything if you're not willing to name names. Instead of implicating one player that could defend himself, he implicates 5 or 10.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
a sportswriter too close to the game dropping incomplete insider information rather than disclosure or not bringing it up at all?
paul sullivan approves...so do a few dozen others i'm not going to name. ha.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
I thought that was kind of a weird line from Boswell too. After all, 1) he's a journalist, and 2) he witnessed the act. It's news. Why wouldn't he report it?

Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
i like Calcaterra's take on it...not 100% mine, but it's approach is logically calm.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
AZ Phil-
I saw your write up on Oliver Zapata yesterday and I was wondering if you had opinions on Marco Hernandez or Delbis Arcila? Also, I know I asked this in another thread but do you have any ideas why Arismendy Alcantara or Junior Lake wouldn't be at instructs? Another person I figured would be at Instructs is Jesus Morelli so any light you could shed on these things would be great. Thanks in advance
Heresay Racism at Wrigley
Briggs around 1:12 says he heard from Cubs players about Wrigley fans being racist.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
"Billy Goat Kurcz", indeed. Very funny, AZ Phil. How long after he was drafted did it take you to notice the pun opportunity sitting there?
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Thanks for another update, AZ Phil. I had a quick question about your view of Reggie Golden right now. In his limited games played for the Cubs (3 or 4 AZL games and now the 3 at Fall Instructs), it appears that he has well above average raw power; is good at taking a walk; but has trouble making contact (i.e. over a strikeout a game). I know he was considered extremely raw coming out of HS, but the walks have to be at least a little encouraging, right? Are we looking at a much shorter, more athletic version of Adam Dunn here, or do you feel that the contact potential is there? Also, how has his defense looked? Thanks again.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
That's interesting that the Cubs are even letting him work in CF then, if he doesn't have the speed to stay there. When you factor in the depth in the system at CF, it boggles my mind even further. I love that he is rapping out extra base hits and taking walks already, though. Hopefully the strikeouts come down greatly, but since he's only 18, he has tons of time. Thanks for the response. As always, it is greatly appreciated.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
My guess is that they will leave him in CF because for the most part, if you can learn the angles and making good reads as a CF, you can still be a productive fielder. Marlon Byrd doesn't have above average speed but he makes fantastic reads and takes excellent routes to the baseball. Plus, coming up through the system, he has exponentially more value as a center fielder with power and plate discipline (if he keeps the walks and maybe cuts the k's down or keep the near the level they are now). As he gets older, if he can't handle CF, hopefully he has developed enough power to be an "acceptable" corner outfielder (though there are several very valuable corner outfielders with patience and not a ton of power), he just won't have the same amount of value because he wouldn't be playing a position with such defensive significance.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
I think he already has the power to be an acceptable COF. It's his contact rates that will determine how good of a player Golden can be. If he can stick in CF, I wonder if a poor man's Mike Cameron would be a good comp. He has shown the ability to take a walk, which in an 18 year old kid is huge. But he definately does have some contact issues. I don't know if he has trouble recognizing pitches or what, but he definately has whiffed a bit. As you can tell, I'm pretty excited to monitor the progress of this kid. I have a better feeling about him than most of the other high risk/high reward types that we have drafted in the past 10 years. Can't explain it, but I just do. Maybe it is the walk rate.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
How many plate appearances are we talking about for Golden right now?
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
In the Cubs system, you're not looking at too many. 30-40 would be my guess. All of my posts about him are based on what his scouting reports were heading into the draft. His play in the Cubs' system, as limited as it may be, lends credence to the reports that he has very good raw power, can take a walk, but has a very raw swing and thus is prone to strikeouts. Hopefully he can continue this type of production in Peoria next season (or Boise, if the Cubs decide to keep him in EXST).
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
When I checked yesterday he had 1 HR and 7 K's in about 15 at bats.
What we've seen so far is he's the next Earl Cunningham.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Those stats only count what he did in the 3 or 4 games in the AZL before/during his hamstring injury. In his 4-5 games in Fall Instructs, he has as many walks as he does K's (3 apiece). I'm not sure Cunningham ever had 3 walks in a 4-5 game stretch in his minor league career, did he? If I remember correctly, didn't Cunningham also strike out about 40% of the time? I love the shared optimism, though.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
The point is that you shouldn't get too excited over 25 at bats. When he played in the rookie league he struck out half the time, and now you're convinced he's on the track to being a power hitting corner outfielder, based on three additional games.
Maybe give the guy a season in the minors before you buy thejersey.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
I'm excited that he is finally healthy and performing as his scouting report suggested he could. And there really isn't any arguing that he will be a power-hitting corner outfielder. He already has power. It's like the aforementioned Cunningham; you can't argue that he didn't have power. He just sucked in every other aspect, which is what Golden needs to keep improving upon.
You are claiming that I am overrating him based on 4 games at fall instructs, whereas I believe you are underrating him based on 3-4 AZL games. I have always maintained that the sample size is terribly small, but which small sample size should you be looking at if you are going to: (1) 3-4 games where Golden made his minor league debut after taking a couple months off of baseball and got hurt; or (2) 4 games where Golden is finally healthy; has been around baseball continuously; and no longer has the rust from the down time? As I stated before, the numbers don't mean anything in this small of a sample size unless a person wants to be optimistic (Me) or pessimistic (You). I just have higher hopes for the kid than to automatically bring up Earl Cunningham when a HS OFer is mentioned. I still realize his insane probability of busting out, as with most of our minor leaguers, but it certainly doesn't hurt to be optimistic a little bit.
I understand and appreciate your pessimism with the Cubs' minor leaguers. We have not had a good track record at all with HS players (Cunningham, Harvey, Patterson, Pie, Dopirak, Montanez, etc., etc.). But that really is no reason to not get at least a little excited by the upside some guys bring to the table. Or at least to try to take that excitement from other fans. The Cubs have given very few reasons to get excited the past 2 years (3 after next year); minor leaguers offer at least a little escape from reality for many fans, as they can sit at their desks and wonder what it would be like to have a legit, home-grown RF putting up a line of .270/.360/.550 in his peak years. So, in essence, you can be pessimistic all you want, but quit harshing my mellow. ; )
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Holy mis-placed wall of text, Batman.
I am excited about plenty of the Cubs minor leaguers. I just don't get excite because a guy has a good weekend.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Then in your attempt to be witty, you completely missed the point of all my posts. Congrats on that.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
And you think because I understand that 50 PA's is totally meaningless with regards to a prospect's evaluation, that I can't get excited about a prospect. Congrats on that.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Never once did I say anything remotely close to that. This was all in response to your apparent inability to have any optimism whatsoever for an extremely promising HS OFer. It's almost as if you refuse to get even a little excited over a prospect, after only a few games and a nice scouting report. If this is the case, that's fine. But don't try to make snarky little comments in an effort to dissuade others from having an optimistic point of view. I have wasted enough of my time on this subject already. Good day.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Bruce Levine speculates the Cubs might consider moving Aramis this offseason, perhaps to the Red Sox, who have shown interest, and to free up money to potentially sign Adam Dunn (he says that spread over two different posts)...
I only can understand moving Ramirez if it's to get a solid 3b replacement with a better track record of staying healthy. If it's to move an acceptable defensive 3b who can hit for a horrible fielding 1b who can't hit .270, I think it's not smart. There are going to be 1b bargains out there because the 1b free agent market is crowded. Sure, Dunn has the most power, but that's all he offers, and at a crazy price (seeking 4 years, $60 million). Laroche could be signed for something around $8 million per or less for 1-2 years. But there are plenty of other guys too. I don't see the logic in spending another big $ contract on another slow, one dimensional, old player who can't run or play defense and who doesn't make consistent contact.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
.381 career OBP and 900+ career OPS? Not sure how that equates to adding nothing?
Derrick Lee has bettered Dunn's career average OPS in only 3 of 14 MLB season. Laroche has a career OPS of almost 100 point lower. Why waste 8 million on him when you can get a major upgrade for 11-12 million?
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Dunn's k/bb ratio skyrocketed this year, his obp dropped 20 points, and when a crappy team decides he's not good enough of a fielder for them, and a scout says he sucks and costs his team half a run per game, why on earth would you want him? I can understand him as a DH. As a position player? No freaking way.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Every defensive metric shows that he is close to average. He WILL be the best hitter the Cubs have had since Sosa in his prime. Why WOULDN'T you want him?
He hits enough that if his defense becomes atrocious (which it won't) you can still trade him to an AL team.
Enough GM's are stuck in the stone age though. So you will get him cheaper than what his actual market rate should be.
Dunn at 12-13 per year > Ryan Howard at 25 or Fielder or Adrian Gonzalez at 20 million per year.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
defensive metric?
the dude's range at 1st sucks. he's slow to react and pretty stiff...he doesn't even stretch well for throws.
he's adequate given his bat and being in the NL...that's about the best you can do for him on handicapping his D...and those 2 things don't have anything to do with D.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
because the cubs don't get to use the DH slot except a few times a year?
he's no longer that .230 hitting guy coming off an injury and he's vocally sick of short contracts. WAS has drawn the line saying they won't go more than 3 years for him and that's already a problem, evidently. 11-12m is probably low-balling his value, too.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Oh yeah... Adam Dunn. Seems like the perennial Adam Dunn rumors are starting early this year.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
Removing Ramirez to replace him with Dunn is adding nothing.
Ramirez + LaRoche > Dunn + Pedro Feliz or Marquez Smith.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
I agree it seems a little self defeating to sign Dunn, and trade Rammy.
Though Adam Dunn is almost certainly the best bet of that whole group going forward.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
"I only can understand moving Ramirez if it's to get a solid 3b replacement with a better track record of staying healthy. If it's to move an acceptable defensive 3b who can hit for a horrible fielding 1b who can't hit .270, I think it's not smart."
Well, whoever they get to play 3rd, my criteria is this:
* Must hit at least 270
* Must play B defense or better
* Must be built well and have good baseball sense
Flashy players are nice, but the flashy players we've had lately are prone to long cold streaks.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
we have a lot of guys on this team who are going to swing and not walk...even if they hit for good average, expected starters like castro/byrd/dewitt/soriano will all be lucky to see 40-50 walks.
walks aren't everything when you're hitting well for contact, but these are very low walk totals.
should be interesting to see who's added/subtracted for 2011.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
My read is that I can think of 14.6 million reasons to try and move Ramirez. On top of that he's given up trying to play 3B. The next time he steps in front of a ball to field it instead of his patented 'Ole' move to the side will be the first time in about 3 years. He gives every indication of an overpaid, got-it-made veteran who cares only about his 4 AB's a game. Notwithstanding his salary, he's now suited to an AL DH position only. Can the Cubs move him to Boston or some other AL team?.....have at it.
The unfortunate scenario with the 2011 Cubs (and maybe even 2012) is that Ramirez is just one lousy contract that needs to be moved to restructure this team - Silva, Fukudome, Samardzija, Grabow, Soriano............and unless he pitches more like his last 10 starts from this point forward, Zambrano. Of course, this all assumes the team has a President and GM who can execute a plan that would take them to the World Series.
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
me and you are on opposite ends of that aram D breakdown. he's not as tight as he's been in past years, but he's not dogging out there and his arm is still nice, imo.
A vote for Mike Quade
Re: Billy Goat Kurcz Alive & Well at Papago Park
not cubs-related, but yow...via rotowhirled...
A scout told ESPN.com's Jason Grey that Brandon Webb looked "alarmingly bad" during his instructional league appearance Wednesday.
The scout said Webb topped out at 82 MPH with his fastball and "rolled" his curveball.
Recent comments
Apparently the Yankees had the choice of either Gleyber Torres or Eloy Jimenez in the Chapman deal, and they chose Torrers.
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.

I am moving to a house which has in-home wired network. The network runs like this, TV cable from outside comes to family room, I am supposed to connect cable modem and router at family room. There are 2 cables at family room, one has label "Up feed" which connect to upstairs office and the other "Down feed" to basement.
According to the previous owner, he had been using the upstairs office cable till the day he moved out which is just couple days ago and he used the basement cable couple months ago.
Yesterday I used a cable tester to test the cables, but neither up feed nor down feed show connection. I also did swap testing: testing up feed cable at family room with basement cable and down feed with upstairs office, same result, neither shows connection.
I then tested the tester on a short cable, it shows the connection is good. So the tester itself is functional.
So here are all I can think of:
1. The cables suddenly stop working.
2. The tester cannot test long cable; it can only work at short one.
I hope it is #2. The tester I use is from Communication and model is S1007. I googled it but cannot find mentioning any length limit. I actually doubt it is the cable length - even though the cables are behind the walls, I do not know exactly how long they are, I think it is at most 100 feet or so.
I do not have cable company start the service yet, so I cannot test through accessing internet.
Do you have any suggestion if there are something else I can do here?

Himmler's Willing Executioners
Published: June 30, 2002
(Page 2 of 2)
In ''Masters of Death,'' Rhodes presses upon us a theory that, he believes, can explain their behavior. This theory, a model of how people become violent, was developed by a criminologist, Lonnie Athens, who based it on interviews he held with incarcerated violent criminals. Having come across Athens's then-obscure theory some years ago, Rhodes embraced it and devoted his 1999 book, ''Why They Kill,'' to it. Now, in ''Masters of Death,'' he applies it to the Einsatzgruppen and to those who sent them to kill.
As Rhodes summarizes it, Athens believes that a person who becomes violent goes through a four-stage socialization process: (1) brutalization by an authority figure through violence or the threat of violence, seeing others undergoing such subjugation, being instructed in how to be violent and being told by already violent people that one must be violent when one is provoked; (2) the realization that ''resorting to violence is sometimes necessary in this world,'' and the resolution to use violence in the face of imminent danger; (3) the carrying out of serious violence against someone in response to a provocation; and (4) the resolution ''to attack people physically with the serious intention of gravely harming or even killing them for the slightest or no provocation at all.'' At this point, Rhodes notes, the person's ''violent socialization is complete.''
Rhodes believes that these stages apply not only to criminals but also to the kind of people who became Nazi killers. And he concludes that Athens's model ''supplies an evidence-based instrument through which to view the Third Reich, and specifically the Einsatzgruppen, that may help to illuminate their history and thus the history of the Holocaust.''
But Rhodes fails to make the case that would support that conclusion. The behaviors and personal histories of Nazis that he cites, whether of Himmler or the Einsatzgruppen officers, though sometimes compatible with one or another part of Athens's theory, aren't enough to lead us to the conclusion that the theory can explain their violence or that of the Nazis in general. Other factors -- like the readiness to obey orders to kill by unquestioned authorities; the diffusion of responsibility for killing; and the anti-Semitic ideology that was widely embraced in German society and that construed Jews as subhuman and mortally dangerous to Germany -- provide explanations for Nazi violence that are more powerful than that of Athens, and quite possibly sufficient. There is no reason to think that a theory like Athens's is needed to explain Nazi violence. Ideology and motivation, combined with psychological mechanisms like rationalization, can be enough.
But you don't have to accept Rhodes's explanation for the Einsatzgruppen's violence to be shocked and enlightened by the story he tells. That story, which is not as well known as it should be, is devastating in what it reveals about the human capacity to murder and destroy. All explanatory theories fall by the wayside as the reader of this book is brought face to face, through Rhodes's riveting account, with some of the darkest pages in the darkest chapter of human experience.

The Voice may be welcoming another new face this fall.
Gwen Stefani has reportedly signed on as a coach for the show's seventh season, TMZ.com reports.
Celebrity alter egos
Stefani, 44, would replace Christina Aguilera, who announced her pregnancy in February. NBC declined to comment on the report.
Last month, NBC announced that Pharrell Williams would be stepping in as a coach after Cee Lo Green announced he was permanently exiting the singing competition series in February. Blake Shelton and Adam Levine are expected to return, but only Williams has been confirmed for Season 7, which begins shooting in June and will debut sometime this fall.Pharrell joins The Voice for Season 7
Stefani and Williams are no strangers to working together. Just last week, Stefani appeared onstage during his set at Coachella to sing her hit "Hollaback Girl," which they co-wrote nearly 10 years ago. Stefani was also featured on Williams' first solo single, "Can I Have It Like That," back in 2005.
The Voice, which is about to begin live rounds for Season 6, airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC.
Do you think Stefani would be a good fit for The Voice?

• Indian Cave State Park is located along the Missouri River approximately 2 1/2 hours north of Kansas City in Nemaha Nebraska. We'll leave Kansas City at noon on Friday, April 18 and set up base camp in one of the established camp grounds. We'll have most of the day Friday and Saturday to explore the park, hike the numerous trails and visit Indian Cave or the old town of St Deroin.
On Saturday April 19 the park will be having the Outdoor Adventure. Some of the available activities include: horse rides, birdwatching, a mushroom hunting contest and glow-in-the dark easter egg hunt. We'll head back to Kansas City Saturday evening.
I'll send out information on where to meet for carpooling soon.
Hey everyone, Melissa and I are here :). We're at the Hackberry Hollow camping loop, site #119 (look for my white honda van). As of right now all the sites around us are open and there are plenty of level spots for tents. Cell reception is iffy so texting may work better than a phone call....let us know when you think you'll be arriving so we can keep an eye out! My number is[masked]

Renee and I will be heading up on Thursday afternoon so if you'd like to come up early let me know. Otherwise call my cell phone (913)[masked] or text me when you get there and I can provide you the campground information. If you can't make it please change you RSVP so we'll know not to expect you.

Just a heads up. The Kansas City Adventure Club has a group of about 19 backpacking here this same weekend. I will be backpacking during the week and should be leaving by Friday. Have a great trip. Oh and I'm planning on finding all of the Morels before the weekend event. :-)

Hey everyone, due to the fact that this event will be on easter weekend and the park will be hosting the 3rd annual outdoor adventure I've changed the details a bit. We'll be going up on Friday and staying one night in one of the established campgrounds (think electricity and showers). Saturday April 19 is the Outdoor Adventure at Indian Caves, it should be a lot of fun. I went up last weekend to to check out the park and it is nice; there are a lot of trails, scenic overlooks, an old town, and of course the cave. The trails were relatively uncrowded and totaled about 21 miles altogether with lots of views of the Missouri River. I'll send out carpool meeting information closer to the date, hoping for good weather.

We'd love to go - but can't get Friday off work. Maybe next time.

I was in the market for a good backpack that I can use for both - day hikes and multiple day hikes. I finally got an Osprey Kestrel 48. The other option I was considering was a Deuter 40+10. Thoughts and comments? Would this backpack suffice for the Nebraska camping trip?

Lone Mountain campus, where Suzanne Somers lost her music scholarship and got kicked out of school, you know, for getting preggers, a half century ago.
Click to expand
"She was accepted at San Francisco College for Women (commonly referred to as "Lone Mountain College"), a now-defunct single sex school which became a campus of the Jesuit University of San Francisco. She won a music scholarship, but became pregnant after six months. She married the baby's father, "Bruce Somers", and her only child, Bruce Somers, was born in November 1965. She was unhappy in her marriage and began an affair with her former drama teacher. Her husband found out about it and the marriage ended after just two years, in 1967. A single mom, she turned to modeling in San Francisco to support herself and her son. She also distanced herself from her family because her older brother and sister by then were also alcoholics. In 1968, she won a job as a prize model on a game show hosted by her future husband, Alan Hamel, who was married at the time. The two began dating, and she became pregnant while Hamel was still married. They came to the conclusion that Suzanne should have an abortion, from which she suffered severe bleeding for several days. In 1970, she auditioned for Playboy's Playmate of the Month and got as far as a test series of photos taken in the Mexican jungle. She was fully nude except for a gold chain around her waist. Playboy decided not to use her shots at the time, but paid her $3,000 for the test. After she became a star on Three's Company (1976), Playboy published the entire series of photos and the handwritten Data Sheet that each potential Playmate fills out (in which she gives the year of her birth as 1947). At the time of its publication, she was a popular (and for her, lucrative) spokeswoman in a series of TV commercials for Ace Hardware. Following the publication of the pictures, Ace abruptly fired her, citing the contract's morals clause. In 1971, her son Bruce was severely injured when he was hit by a car, and the therapist counseling him only charged the struggling Suzanne $1 per week. Suzanne herself also underwent therapy to overcome the problems of her dysfunctional childhood…"

The 13-year veteran, who topped 120 tackles in each of his last three seasons with the Ravens, is reunited with coach Mike Smith in Tampa after having played under his tutelage for four seasons during the latter's defensive coordinator tenure in Jacksonville in the mid-to-late 2000s. Smith's familiarity and past success in the scheme provides considerable reason for optimism, but his new teammates have him excited for the coming season as well. ""We've got a young roster that can play," he said. "We've got talent that nobody really might not know it just yet, but hopefully we'll prove that." The 34-year-old is particularly looking forward to playing alongside Lavonte David and Kwon Alexander in the linebacker corps in a defensive scheme he feels will be an ideal fit for their respectives skill sets. "They're both young," he said. "Lavonte's been around a few years, All-Pro, knows what he's doing. Kwon is young, but knowledgeable about the game and so eager to learn. Already they're asking so many questions. It's a defense they'll thrive in."
The veteran Smith will join Tampa Bay's young but talented linebacking corps on a one-year deal after being released by Baltimore earlier in the offseason to clear some cap space. Smith recorded 121 tackles and three sacks as a middle linebacker in the Ravens' 3-4 system last season, but he could be a replacement as the strong side backer with the Bucs releasing Bruce Carter this offseason. Despite the fact that he'll be 34 when the season gets underway, Smith still has decent coverage skills for a linebacker and could serve as a solid one-year stopgap in Tampa Bay.
The 14-year veteran, released by the Ravens on Mar. 3, played under new Bucs defensive coordinator Mike Smith in Jacksonville from 2004-2007 during part of the latter's stint as the Jaguars' defensive coordinator. An above-average run-stopping presence throughout his career, Smith amassed 372 tackles (196 solo), 12 tackles for loss, nine sacks, four forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, 30 passes defensed and five interceptions over the last three seasons in Baltimore. The Bucs are seeking to re-stock their linebacker corps after the releases of Danny Lansanah and Bruce Carter earlier in the offseason.
Smith is coming off of another strong season in which he recorded 121 combined tackles and 3.0 sacks, but he'll turn 34 later this month, and the Ravens have opted to cut ties as they'll look to get younger at the position. The move also saves Baltimore roughly $2.6 million. As a free agent, Smith figures to draw considerable interest, though it's unclear how many teams would be willing to offer him a full-time starting spot.
Smith and fellow inside linebacker C.J. Mosley both played nearly every defensive snap for a second straight season. Even with Smith turning 34 in May, the duo will likely return for a third consecutive year, providing some form of stability to an otherwise shaky defense. Smith has topped 120 tackles in each of his three seasons with the Ravens, after failing to do so even once during his nine years in Jacksonville.

Simple issue I assume. Part of a project I've been working on in the iOS version 4.2/xCode 3 but now when I try to use those classes in my 4.3 project in xCode 4, I get a linking error.
It is ignoring the CoreData framework:
ld: warning: ignoring file /Users/Dom/Documents/Programming/objective-c/LunchMeet/CoreData.framework/CoreData, missing required architecture i386 in file
And then the rest of the linking errors are because core data is not there. How do I transfer a class from 4.2 to 4.3?

Logo Voting
Steve Nash approaching milestone
Stefan Abramian
| Posted on Tuesday, January 8th, 2013
Steve Nash today is only 5 assists shy of getting 10,000 career assists. Whats so special about that you might ask?
There have only been four other people to do so. They are John Stockton, Magic Johnson, Jason Kidd, and Mark Jackson. Stockton played his whole career with the Utah Jazz. Magic did it with the Lakers. Mark Jackson needed 9 teams to get 10k. Jason Kidd needed 5 teams. Lastly, Steve Nash needed only 2 teams.
Steve Nash in my opinion is worth voting for the Hall of Fame. Yes he doesn't have a ring, but the Stockton on this doesn't have a ring, yet he is still in the HOF. Steve Nash is past his prime. Most of all us know that already. But yet day in day out he continues to amazes. Steve Nash is an 8 time all star. He also has 2 MVP's to add to his resume. Nash is also really good at the pick and role. He did that in Phoenix and and Dallas.

Russian crime ring lifts 1.2 billion user credentials in biggest cyber heist yet
Usernames and passwords were stolen in attacks on 420,000 websites
A RUSSIAN CRIME RING has got its hands on 1.2 billion internet user credentials, the biggest known collection of stolen usernames and passwords yet, which were procured in a series of internet heists affecting 420,000 websites, a security report has claimed.
The pilfering was uncovered by Milwaukee security firm Hold Security, which specialises in exposing security breaches.
The report establishes that the hackers, who are said to be based in south central Russia, grabbed 4.5 billion username and password combinations, although reportedly many were duplicates, with 542 million said to be unique email addresses.
Hold Security is not naming the victims of the thefts, which included Fortune 500 organisations, citing non-disclosure agreements.
Hold Security chief information security officer Alex Holden told the New York Times that the hacked websites ranged from household names to small businesses located all over the world. He refused to reveal the names of the raided websites but said that many of the big businesses in the list were found to be vulnerable to SQL injection attacks.
Holden said that the thieves "audited the internet", and that many of the affected sites are still vulnerable.
Malwarebytes intelligence analyst Chris Boyd called the theft of the credentials a "disaster of the worst kind", but pointed out that we are yet to see any hard details on the various breaches as no companies have come forward and admitted to having been affected.
"With zero information out there to go on, all we can say is to change your logins if you feel you must, but don't do it out of any sense of panic or impending doom," he said. "If this attack really is this wide reaching, then surely some of this information will come out in the wash eventually - with 1.2 billion passwords supposedly taken, it would be impossible for it not to."
In February, Hold Security also discovered 360 million compromised login credentials for sale in underground crime forums. These included an additional 1.25 billion records containing only e-mail addresses and also came from multiple security breaches. µ

Have you ever been in a museum and gazed on a painting that took your breath away? Have you ever driven across a massive bridge and been in awe that people were actually able to build it? Our world is filled with gifted people who make our world richer with their accomplishments. However, nothing can be accomplished without first existing as a vision.
We may be tempted to look at these amazing endeavors and think, "That is truly wonderful, but I am not talented. I could never fulfill a vision that big." While we may not feel qualified, worthy, or equipped, God says that we are all of these things. It is time for us to believe Him and begin to have His vision for the things He wants to accomplish through us.
The key to recognizing and fulfilling God's vision is simple — we see a need set before us and we meet that need. God has promised to give us everything we need to meet the needs around us — all we need to do is trust Him and share His vision that is focused on the glory brought to His name in the outcome.
Esther shared God's vision when she was called to approach King Xerxes on behalf of the Jewish people. In Esther 4:14, Mordecai suggests that perhaps she has, "come into royal position for such a time as this." Esther was afraid and unsure but she still stepped up and accepted God's vision for her life. At great personal risk, she met the need before her and saved God's people.
What if the artist, the architect, and the writer had no vision? What if their doubt caused them to ignore their gifts and not use them? Think of the beauty and wonder we would miss out on! What if Esther convinced herself she was not worthy of the task, or refused to carry it out for fear of the consequences? Think of the glory that would not have been brought to God. Let us take each moment, each situation, and each relationship and ask ourselves: Am I seeing this with God's vision? Who knows — perhaps God brought you to that moment "for such a time as this."

A cross is a dangerous thing—despised, hated, and rejected. Today, forces are at work to strip the cross from public venues and to minimize its significance in our personal lives. Christians must stand up against these attacks and defend the cross as a symbol of the love and grace of God toward man.

My eyes have stayed the same for several years, and I think it was because I started taking lutein. My eye doctor advised taking it.
Posted by Reviewer1246993 on Oct 05, 2010
These seem to work well. I notice a difference in eye pain.
Posted by Reviewer1333117 on Oct 21, 2010
It really works......my vision is so much better.
Another great product!
Posted by Reviewer1902182 on Oct 30, 2010
I've been using these lutein esters for several years now and at my recent eye exam, my optometrist was amazed that my eyes hadn't changed in several years... thanks to these little babies! I've done close work (technical writing) for the past 17 years and I'm thrilled that my eyes aren't getting worse as I age.
Great for Eyes
Posted by Reviewer3137100 on Jun 09, 2010
This product is an excellent adjunct for people with Glaucoma, according to me a non professional.
NOW Lutein
Posted by Jasmine44 on Feb 12, 2011
I added this to my supplement list after reading reviews indicating the need for more than is in my 'eye supplement' and immediately knew I needed more lutein. I feel less eyestrain when doing computer work and my eyes feel more comfortable...(contact lens wearer). My husband was diagnosed with macular degeneration 1 1/2 years ago and after adding a variety of 'eye' supplements including lutein the doctor was baffled that he no longer showed signs of the degeneration, even though a retinal scan confirmed it initially. NOW is a great affordable brand.
my friend said to me, Thank You
Posted by Reviewer2621616 on Dec 18, 2010
I sent my friend it. It's very good. My friend got a better sight after taking it.
Cures dry eyes
Posted by Reviewer1595172 on Dec 31, 2012
I take this together with Super Zeaxanthin and it has totally cured by problem with dry eyes.
Good +
Posted by Reviwer on Mar 28, 2013
It seems to be quite helpful for my eyes! Less tired and less discomfort I'm feeling. I'm taking these softgels for two months now, hope that my better view is from this lutein. Will buy again.
