Greetings from the North Central Chapter. We have had a super busy spring already, participating in many events and conventions. As I write this the Chicago Flower and Garden Show is in its last days. Loann Burke AIFD, CFD, PFCI and Brent Leech AIFD, CFD were our chairpersons.

Upon arrival the bed was damaged from the webbing used to secure the boxes. Nothing major, one call to customer service was all it took to be able to arrange for a replacement. Since I needed it by a specific date they expidited the replacement order to make that happen. The customer service is what makes or breaks a company, I am 100% satisfied with the product and the way Wayfair handled the situation. The bed looks better than the picture and the quality is better than expected.

Reviews for International Children's Fund

By the grace of God,I (Rev.Boakai B.Paasewe of the Living Word Rural Ministries) have been partnering with ICF over 8 years .I'm so thankful to God for divinely connecting us with them and empowering us in helping to build schools ,churches, providing safe drinking water,building orphanage and reaching out with shipments of relief items to needy communities and institutions in the city and rural communities.The relief items such as food ,medical supplies,vehicles,clothing, and Christmas gifts are great blessings, transforming lives and building brighter future for thousands of unprivileged rural children and meeting the current needs of Ebola victims' children in communities that have been badly hit by this deadly viral disease.
International Children Fund serves with love, integrity and humility. I am greatly honored to support ICF!
I am writing on behalf of My Brother's Keeper Orphanage ,a charitable non-governmental ,non-profit organization . My name is Ralph Gelego and presently my wife and are share similar burden for children suffering many abuses and even at the extreme of loosing their lives . We The orphanage have enormously receive a true brotherly Love first from INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S FUND USA & Germany and a huge supplies that restore life and hope for many children that were affected due to the prolong civil war in war torn Liberia. This west African state left many children ORPHANS and the lack of basic needs . ICFaid is a RESCUE group that deserves been rated a five STAR nonprofit . With icfaid help, lives have become meaningful and human dignity is an accomplishment . MBK is not the only group that is assisted but the poorest of the poor also are also reached with food, blankets , mosquitoes nets, safe drinking water and the list goes on and on............. I therefore nominate icfaid for this award on behalf of My Brother's Keeper Orphanage and the people of the Republic of Liberia .
International Children Fund is making great impact here in Liberia and We the Great Commission Victory Ministries International happens to be one of the volunteer organization of the which the ICF send donated goods to; for distribution.
We are witness of great things that is happening in lives of thousands of people whom benefit from the International Children's Fund donated relief goods. Homes have been feed, people have been clothed; villages, health centers, religious center, institutions as well as children, adult, disable people and the less privilege people have in some way benefited.
International Children's Fund relief goods are send directly to us and then we distribute these goods directly to the beneficiaries. It is more of their concern and care towards us that encourage us to go out and help!
Many God Continue to Bless The International Children's Fund

I have been associated with ICF for almost twenty years now. I have nothing but praise for them. Through them we have supplied quality medicines and medical supplies to hospitals and health facilities even in remote parts of my country. New and better orphanage buildings have been constructed, not to mention food items and clothing supplied to the needy. Currently we have finished drilling an hundred and sixty feet deep well for an orphanage to provide them with good clean water. All I can say is God bless International Children's Fund.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I came in contact with this organisation through its founder in 1999. I have since worked with them in helping to build orphanges and delivering their shipments to needy institutions such as orphanages, rehab centres, hospitals and clinics in cities and remote rural communities of my country and even our national disaster management organisation and MOH in my region. These shipments have come in the form of food, medicines, medical supplies, clothing, vehicles, etc. What an opportunity to work with such faithful and committed servants who make sure you properly account for all donations received and visit to check on your work to see that reports are a true reflection of what is being done on the ground. I would rate them highly and say thumps up all people for ICF.

This is a very good non profit organization.,They are so companionate and caring about other people. They are doing a great job of helping people in Africa and around the world.,The people I've worked with are so great and hard working .,It is a good organization to get involved in.
The cheery voice of the Founder of International Children's Fund comes over the airwaves of my car radio as I make my highway commute to church each Sunday. He opens the broadcast for the weekly updates about International Children's Fund with the familiar greeting "Good news!!, Good news!!" and then makes every moment count as he dives into the interesting facts and tales of what the organization is up to, who he was meeting with, difficulties being encountered by people of other countries, and what is coming up in the future for ICF and how we can help. He then turns to his co-host and President, and she adds more interesting information about what was happening with the things she is involved with. Their passion is contagious and full of facts and HOPE!!!
I began hearing that they were actually located not too far from me - and I made a promise to myself to stop by to see about how I could make a donation, to meet them if that was possible. This is after all "INTERNATIONAL" Children's Fund....like the people at the top would have time to meet with me - someone who making a donation. This place sounded like such a "well-run machine"! Huge! I was pretty sure meeting them would be out of the question, but one could hope! The day came and I set off to see what one of these places is like. I took with me some things I heard they were looking to send in their next container shipment overseas. I had some school supplies and I wanted to make a donation. I arrived at this enormous brick factory-like building, I pulled into the parking lot, walked up to the door and went toward the office. There was loads and loads of stuff to be packed. I was told their dedicated crew of highly experienced packers could get these containers packed in no time flat and when they finished you'd be lucky to squeeze in an extra piece of paper. Making the most of EVERYTHING was top priority here, by everyone. They are PRO's at making everything count!! They have been at this long enough that nothing at all goes to waste. Incredibly, I got to meet the Founder and the President that day! Unreal!! The timing just happened to be right and they were able to give me a little background of ICF. I learned that the Founder has personally accompanied containers to their destinations. He and the President work directly with the people receiving the donated goods. This is a hard working, dedicated group of folks that does the work of many on a shoestring budget! They have successfully carried this out for many, many years now. I pray you will help this group continue this much needed work of getting supplies, food, medicine, clothing, and goods into the hands of the people that desperately need them!! They have consistently received very very high ratings from Charity Navigator over the years. They are a wonderful charity - please consider helping them to help others.
I was lucky enough to get to know all the good folks involved with this charity and saw myself how all the volunteers worked so hard to load up containers bound for Africa - it was amazing! All the people involved with this wonderful charity give freely of their personal time to ensure that the goods are packed properly and shipped overseas to help those in need. They also showed the local folks in Africa how to dig wells, since water contamination from domestic animals is quite frequent there. They are responsible for providing the poor with mosquito nets so that the spread of malaria can be halted, saving many lives. Yes, this charity is wonderful with the great works that it does for the underprivileged, and the leadership, Dr. Dave Bruenning and Ms. Lori Fulcer are simply amazing people who are totally dedicated to the mission of the charity.

I was fortunate enough to get to know Dr. David Bruenning a number of years ago and helped to found his German organization for ICF - a bit later on, I also got to meet volunteers in Neenah that work on behalf of this charity, pro bono. I was able to see how they load up containers bound for Africa - and found them to be amazingly well organized and professional. Lori Fulcer is a wonderful leader and has been Dr. Dave's right hand person for a number of years (of course in addition to his wife Marcy). This is one charity I would heartily recommend to prospective donors - the good that it does in Africa, showing people there how to become self-sufficient, how to dig wells away from domestic animals, building schools for the children, turning a container into a library by putting it on its side, filling it with shelves and books for people to read who would otherwise have no opportunity to do so - simply marvelous acts of charity! Kristiane K, formerly with Mindwize BV, now retired.
ICF started with a committed man who had a vision to help people around the world and it just so happened the Lord spoke to him about Africa.... The rest is history. He has been at it well over 35 years and and with the dedicated volunteers, there is no stopping him until Jesus comes home to take him or we are all carried out in the rapture. I personally have been with the organization for about 20 years.... Wouldn't change a thing!!!!!!

I have been full time volunteering with ICF for over 15 years now and it just seems to get better and better with the new faces that come in to help and certainly the oldies too. First I think, we know the reason we are doing it and then the attutude of the volunteers is amazing as they are asked at times to do some pretty diffucult things. That is where the rubber hits the road on the stick i out attitude comes in. We love what we do and why we do it. It is as simple as that. It is hard to find willing people to have a stick to it attitude when so many other things can be distracting. The "work" cannot get done without the help. Feed the hungry, clothing the naked, giving them, shelter and giving them the Gospel is truly what it is all about. We will burn out and not rust out, is our motto!!!!! PTL

I have been with ICF for over 15 years. I have been to Africa/Haiti with the org. Without sounding predigous, This org is one of the best of its kind! Friendly help. Always have FUN doing what we like to do and the volunteers that come in, are truly the best! We are always changed for the better after leaving the warehouse from doing the work that needs to get done. The joking around with everyone envolved helps us take the edge off and makes everyone feel comfortable while getting the work done. I am truly blessed to be a part of the org. ICF.

I am personally acquainted with the leaders of ICF and can vouch for their great concern and compassion for the peoples of Africa. They see the need and commit to help, by way of driving wells, taking medicine, filling containers with clothing and food, taking mosquito netting, and on and on. They go into ebola and malaria areas of the world to help the most needy without worrying about self safety. ICF is worthy of my support and yours.

Great charity. Dave and crew still sort and load donations and show you what they do with it.
this is one charity that I know keeps the overhead cost low. A true non profit.

We are proud Canadians that have grown up in Niagara Region, only 10 minutes from Niagara Falls, Ontario. My husband and I have 2 children and 4 grandsons who love to travel to Florida each year.
Lynn MacMillan purchased this bungalow in 2011
We looked at several properties prior to purchasing this villa. We wanted a vacation property that was quiet and relaxing while offering plenty of things to do. As soon as we traveled through the front gates we knew we found our piece of paradise. I know you will have the same reaction. This property offers everything from peace and tranquility, to the exciting day & night life of Orlando's attractions. Close to both coast, only 1 1/2 hour drive to either Clearwater or Daytona beaches.
Orlando is a magical place and we would love to help make your vacation one that your whole family will never forget. I think renting our villa would only enhance your experience.
Villa Henderson is a great place to stay for a Florida holiday. The villa itself was immaculate, very well equipped and tastefully decorated. Southern Dunes is a well kept and safe community. The villa is within walking distance of Walmart which is ideal for the essentials. A car is needed to reach the tourist attractions and outlets which are not too far away. No problems with booking and good communication with the owners. We thoroughly recommend staying at this villa.
Tom and Lyn were wonderful to deal with. The house was clean, beautifully furnished with luxurious linens and plush towels. The bed in the master was very comfortable, best sleep I've had in a rental home ever. The pool was great with privacy. We loved the patio area with the lovely dining table. We never ate inside. Stainless steel appliances are updated and spotless. The area is close to all the amenities you need. Great golf course is on site. We will be back.
We had a wonderful stay at Henderson Villa.Decorated with comfort in mind and everything you need during your stay,quiet community and walking distance to Walmart and restaurants. Orlando International Airport is 45 mins .We would stay here again. Thanks Wood Family
We have been vacationing together with my sister for about 20 years starting in the Panhandle, then Clermont, to Springhill, to Hudson, last two years in Lake Jovita and this year Haines City. Your home by far was the cleanest of any home we have rented. Your home had everything we needed. We liked the updated TV's, updated bathrooms, and much more.
Would recommend to anyone wanting to vacation in this area.
Good location, nice environment including good golf course and walking distance to Walmart (which was the best grocery store in the area) . Good for a family vacation up to 4 kids. Nice pool and patio with dining table for 6.
We spend a week Christmas vacation and really enjoyed. Owner left Christmas decorations for us.
Communication with owner was also smooth and prompt. Everything was as expected and promised.
We stayed (two male golfers who wanted adventure) at Henderson Villa recently which was referred to us by a friend. A beautiful gated community, on a golf course & all amenities close by. Everything you need for a stress free vacation! Great restaurant just around the corner if you do not wish to use the fully equipped kitchen in a Villa that is well maintained. Walmart around the corner & Universal/Disney/Legoland 1/2 hr drive away. We also did an Airboat Nature Tour. Wonderful heated pool that lights up at night. We will be booking again soon for next year. Thank you for letting us rent this "GEM".

How to Become a Contender: Supplemental(Bolster, PvP Gear, and You)
View Single Post
Quote: Originally Posted by
It's absolutely absurd that someone can be fully min/maxed in the highest tier of pvp gear and not be BiS for PvP. But given that Bioware continues to insist on using their deeply flawed bolster system in rated pvp, players have a right to know how to properly utilize that system if they truly care about being BiS for top-tier pvp.
This is a good guide; that said, I would recommend you take another look at 2 sections of your guide and consider editing the original post to be more accurate.
The answer to whether Obroan is BiS for non-weapon, modifiable pieces depends on your class. If your spec in your class needs the pvp set bonus tied to the Obroan gear, then yes, "Obroan is BiS for PvP on non-weapon, modifiable pieces." However, if your spec in your class either doesn't need the pvp set bonus or needs a pve set bonus, then you should not be wearing Obroan.
(For example, Bioware in their infinite wisdom removed the 15% boost to Kolto Cloud from the pvp set bonus in 2.0 so now it's only found as a pve set bonus. Therefore, it is preferable for healer scoundrels to be running a 2 piece pve set bonus for pvp.)
If you don't need the pvp set bonus, then Obroan is not BiS for non-weapon, modifiable pieces. Instead, you should be running a 69, 63, 61 combination, same as your mainhand/offhand. I suspect the reason you chose to show setups with straight 58's and straight 61's is that you don't have the necessary 69 and 63 pieces, but it's probably a good idea to make clear in your guide that a 69, 63, 61 setup is BiS for mainhand/offhand/armor (if you don't need the pvp set bonus).
Once again, the answer to whether Obroan is BiS for PvP on non-weapon, non-modifiable pieces depends on your class. What we're really talking about here are the "Experimental" level 54 crafted implants. And again, the genius of Bioware comes into play.
(The "Experimental" implants each exist with different secondary/tertiary stat combinations depending on whether it's an aim, cunning, strength, or willpower piece. In order for the implant to be BiS over Obroan, it must have a ton of power on it. It will only have a sufficient amount of power if a green version exists with power as the original secondary stat so that it can be possible to reverse engineer it to a purple where the only secondary stat is a massive amount of power, rather than having to split the secondary stat allotment between power and crit.)
An "Experimental" implant with power as the only secondary stat does not exist for cunning and strength, but does exist for aim and it might for willpower though I'm not positive. This means that if you're a class that uses aim (possibly willpower), the "Expert Experimental" implant will be BiS over Obroan.
Bolster has no place in ranked pvp, but if Bioware insists on keeping its broken system in place, pvp'ers need to know how it works and how to deal with it since pvp gear is not BiS for pvp.
Thanks for the reply.
As for the "Experimental" implants, yes there are no "Power" heavy ones for STR and CUN, but the purples I have on my Mara can be RE'd to have 4 secondary stats, while the PvP ones only have 2:
(64) Expert Experimental Might Package [Superior]
Total Stats:
+94 Strength
+114 Endurance
+46 Accuracy Rating
+62 Power
+52 Critical Rating
+62 Surge Rating
(67) Obroan Vindicator's MK-1 Package
+145 Strength
+156 Endurance
+150 Expertise Rating
+72 Power
+68 Surge Rating
Since the Surge stat has a huge DR and most people are carrying it elsewhere, that Surge difference is moot. The difference in Power equals 2HP in favor of Obroan. So you get Free Critical, Free Accuracy, and END/MAIN/EXP are pretty much equivalent due to bolster.
One thing to keep in mind is that this is geared (pun intended) more towards new entries and returners. I also am trying to be somewhat class independent as spec/class does play a role in "what to wear". In all, my point is that, set bonus excluded, most PvE gear combinations yield stats that are on par with BiS Obroan, so it is far more important to focus on the stuff that matters, L2P, Augments, and stims.
PvP Gear Viability?
Read this first.

Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Starlin Castro drilled a three-run double to cap a four-run 7th inning rally, as the Cubs defeated the Seattle Mariners 6-3 in Cactus League action at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in sunny & warm Mesa, AZ, this afternoon
Randy Wells got the start for the Cubs, and worked 5.2 IP (91 pitches - 56 strikes), allowing three runs (all earned) on five hits and three walks, while striking out eight. Overall he pitched very well, especially innings two and onward.
Wells did have a tough 26-pitch 1st inning, though, when the Mariners scored twice, as Wells walked Jack Wilson (after getting ahead 0-2) to lead-off the game, threw a Wild Pitch to move Wilson into scoring position, before surrendering an RBI single to Jack Cust to drive-in the first run of the game. Justin Smoak then doubled into the left-center power alley to score the slow-footed Cust from 1st base.
The Mariners scored their third run in the top of the 4th when Smoak ripped his second double of the game to lead off the inning, and, after Wells struck out Ryan Langerhans and retired Luis Rodriguez on a ground out, scored on an Adam Moore two-out line-drive RBI single to left.
Cub pitchers then threw one-hit shutout ball the rest of the way, retiring 16 of the last 19 Mariners. Sean Marshall threw an 11-pitch 1-2-3 7th with two strikeouts and a GO. John Grabow pitched one inning (18 pitches - 11 strikes), allowing a lead-off walk before retiring the next three hitters (K, L-7, and 5-3), and finally Marcos Mateo put the Mariners away with some 9th inning gas (K, K, 5-3) for the Save. Mateo has had an impressive Spring Training, meaning he will probably be sent to Iowa.
With ex-CLE LHP Aaron Laffey working on a 3-0 shutout, the Cubs scored a run in the bottom of the 4th when Aramis Ramirez bounced a lead-off double off the head of Seattle second-baseman Jack Wilson (the ex-Pirate was diving for the ball and it doinked him in the head, before bounding into foul territory behind 1B), advanced to 3rd on a GO, and then scored on an RBI GO by Carlos Pena.
Blake DeWiit celebrated making the Cubs Opening Day 25-man roster in style, absolutely crushing a solo HR off RHRP Tom Wilhelmsen with two outs in the bottom of the 5th far beyond the RF fence to get the Cubs within one run, and then the home team discharged their four-run rally in the bottom of the 7th to take the lead.
Facing LHRP Cesar Jimenez, Tyler Colvin drew a one-out walk, and advanced to 3rd base when PH Josh Vitters (up from Minor League Camp) roped a double down the LF line. Blake DeWitt reached on an infield hit to load the bases, and then Starlin Castro slammed his bases-clearing three-run double into the left-center power alley to give the Cubs the lead. The Cubs scored another run in the inning on a Reed Johnson two-out PH RBI double.
The Cubs should have had even more runs in the 7th, but they suffered a baserunning brain fart with Castro on 2nd and Marlon Byrd on 1st, one out, and Johnson at bat, where Castro was picked off 2nd base when the two runners left early on what was apparently going to be either a double-steal attempt or a hit & run. Byrd was able to move up to 2nd base on the play and scored on the Johnson RBI double.
The defensive highlight of the game for the Cubs (and for me) was probably the final play of the game, when 3B Josh Vitters aggressively charged a slow chopper, and made a strong, accurate, off-balance throw to 1st base to nip Chris Gimenez by a half-step. This was a play Vitters probably does not make in 2010.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
For those who didn't see, the grounder was a chopper right down the line and Vitters came in and bare-handed it and threw across his body off-balance all in one motion. It was quite an impressive play.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Thanks, I didn't see it.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
It absolutely was an impressive play by Vitters. I really hope he stays healthy and has a solid season this year. He looks a lot more toned physically. He has probably naturally filled out a bit and those couple of weeks at Camp Colvin helped as well.
Mateo looked like he was throwing gas today and had a couple sliders with hard downward movement.
Impressive performance in the last few innings today by the Cubbies.
BTW, I had never seen Rebel Ridling before, he's a pretty big dude.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Of the remaining candidates battling for the final pen slots, Mateo does bring heat and a good, albeit, inconsistent, slider. I like having guys that you can call on to throw some gas, but we'll have to wait and see how things play out.
Rebel - best name in baseball. The approach is alright for a big guy with a big swing, but the raw power hasn't really translated all that great in his minor league career so far. That said, our system is somewhat devoid of top power prospects, and there aren't really any guys blocking him from a prospect perspective, so he'll likely get a good shot to prove himself at Daytona this year.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
I watched the end of the game and I was certain that Antonio Alfonseca was the Cubs pitcher in the 9th. Mateo must be his illegitimate (or legitimate) son.
When I saw that Vitters play I put to rest the idea that he won't be able to stick at 3rd. It was "Rolenesque" (just that one play)
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
I'm warming up to Vitters. It really looks like he's gotten serious, more mature.
Elsewhere, JAKE FOX hit his `9th spring training home run today.

What's the deal with CAPS LOCK on former Cubs? Is it your impression of a Van Earl Wright wrap-up or something?
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
I really liked Jake as a personality (and UMich grad) - and know that he will eventually be an effective DH somewhere - and even an emergency catcher.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
I actually like his versatility a little more on an NL team. No, he can't play any defensive position well, but he can sort of play four of them, and when you're behind he'd be a nice guy to double switch in, hoping that he gets his chance with a couple guys on.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Last I heard, pinch hitting was legal.
(Sorry to be a wise guy, but I asked myself, would he do it to me?)
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
This just in: You can pinch hit in both leagues.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
I don't get the strategy here. The double switch makes sense when you're ahead, and you don't want to burn a pitcher, but you don't mind burning your starting LF or 3B or 1B or C, since you're replacing him with a better defender.
Why take out your starting LF to get Fox in? The other guy is a starter and presumably can hit. Keep Fox on the bench, and all your bats are in the game or available. Who cares about burning a reliever when you're behind?
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
If the point of a double switch is to merely keep your pitcher in longer, just let him hit, since you're already winning, and you don't want to weaken your team by taking a starter out of the lineup. There are two reasons to do a double switch, you're totally ignoring half of them.

Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
John DeWan's stat of the week lists possible 2011 breakout players based on spring training stat of hitting .200 over career slugging percentages and using Jose Bautista of TOR as last years example.
In the study, about two-thirds of hitters who had spring slugging percentages at least 200 points higher than their career total went on to best their career average that season.
only Cub is Starlin Castro (but ex-Cub Jake Fox heads the list)
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
I am going to go way out on a limb and say that Castro bests his career slugging average. I am sure that more than 2/3rds of 21 year old shortstops best their average.
It's an interesting study, but flip a coin and half of those guys beat their career average, so we're really only talking about 17% (of 34 guys) which is about 5 players on that list.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
...which will be awesome as long as he doesn't make a million errors.
Re: breakout years
how about breakdown years for guys who are slugging 200 points below their career averages
the perps:
Koyie Hill (quite an accomplishment when your career slugging average is already a Mariana Trench-level .302) and Kosuke Fukudome
I'm guessing neither of these two guys finish the year with the Cubs..what would be the point?
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
I predict Fukudome is traded to the Cardinals for a ham sandwich and an old Aaron Miles jersey after Lance Berkman blows out a knee and we find ourselves 40 games out.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
There's that ham sandwich again. You realize that you would be trading Fukudome and a Brinks truck full of money for a ham sandwich, right? For all that money, you should at least require a foot-long and a couple of sides.
The notion that we have to be "40 games out" to be WILLING to part with Fukudome is . . . is . . .
I don't know what it is. You tell me. What part of "nobody wants him" (Bruce Levine) don't you understand?

Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
If the Cubs release Carlos Silva, they are on the hook for his 2011 salary less MLB minimum if he signs elsewhere.
But there's a $12 million mutual option for 2012 with a $2 million buyout in Silva's contract.
If the Cubs release Silva and he signs elsewhere this year, can the team who signs him have him for MLB minimum for 2012 with the Cubs on the hook for the rest of that $12 million?
So lets say he's released now and signs with the Padres (for example). The Padres would owe him the $414 K (or whatever) MLB minimum for 2011 and the Cubs pay the rest of his $11.5 million for 2011 (less any $$ coming from Seattle). What happens for 2012 - can the Padres have him for MLB minimum while making the Cubs pay the bulk of the 2012 option? Or who would be responsible for the $2 million buyout for 2012 if he's not wanted back?
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Thanks AZ Phil!
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
(per a Muskat tweet)
#Cubs tell Carlos Silva they'll try to trade him, but if not, would like him to consider Minor Leagues so he can be insurance for team
#Cubs name Andrew Cashner 5th starter, Marcos Mateo to bullpen.
probably means Casey Coleman is out too but I'm not sure about it.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
There's a lot of Silva hate.... he pitched better than our #3 starter last year, and Cashner has sort of sucked this spring too. I don't get it.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
The funny thing is that if we release Silva, some pitching starved team will pick him up for the minimum. If he pitches at all like he did last year then Hendry will be eating his hat (plus more donuts, etc.).
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Cubs will eat most, if not all of the contract.
If there IS a plan
Who cares about Silva, seriously? From what I've heard, he's a dick in the clubhouse and in one season you never know (like his friend Z) which Carlos is going to show up on his day to start. Is Cashner a better answer as 5th starter? Who f'n knows. If everyone who follows this team (including Hendry) is honest with themselves, then they should know that:
1. This team is not likely to be playing for the World Championship this October (with or without Silva).
2. The future success of this team doesn't center around Silva, Samardzija, Hill, DeWitt or Fukudome. So Hendry can keep them on the roster or get rid of them now, by the trade deadline, or after the season. Having them on the roster NOW should say there is no prospect ready NOW to take their place.
3. I'm all for Cashner, Carpenter, Castillo, B. Jackson, and Vitters being on the 25-man if there's no more for them to learn at Iowa/Tennessee or being with the Cubs will enhance their contributions in 2012 and beyond.
If Hendry or whoever really had/has a plan, then this would be part of their thought process: Decide who are the core of this team and build around them with prospects and trades, and the OCCASIONAL free agent.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
if cashner can't handle it there's always maddux-lite...coleman...who wishes he was closer to maddux-lite than coleman, but whatever.
shame j.jackson (supposedly) hasn't regained his velocity yet this spring.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
I think I agree with your first sentence. Not so much the bits about Vitters being on the 25 man before he proves he can hit AA pitching.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Amazing. All this hypocritical stuff about "we want the best roster possible and money doesn't come into play". Then they should have released Shark. They can also find a backup catcher who can catch and hit better than Koyie Hill for .30 on the dollar (since Castillo apparently needs more time to improve his defense).
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Tribune confirms Muskat...
"If the Cubs can't find a taker for Silva, he has been informed he can start the season at Triple-A Iowa in an effort to pitch his way back onto the Cubs."
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Not sure how I feel about Cashner-Silva, but happy to see Mateo make the team. He earned it with 7 IP, 9 Ks, and just 1 ER -- and the fact that he did it while missing time for his mom's funeral makes it even more impressive.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Hendry: "We felt at this time it was better served for Casey Coleman to continue being a starter -- not that he couldn't be a 'pen guy to help down the road, if he needed to. We felt that [it] was best for his development, and for the Cubs, [for him] to keep developing as a starting pitcher."
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Rotation: Dempster, Z, Garza, Wells, Cashner
Bullpen: Marmol, Wood, Marshall, Grabow, Samardzija, Mateo, Russell
Starters: Soto, Pena, Baker or Barney, Castro, Ramirez, Soriano, Byrd, Fukudome or Colvin
Bench: Colvin or Fukudome, Hill, DeWitt, Baker or Barney, Johnson
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
On days Colvin and Baker are on the bench, the bench looks OK. But on days when Colvin and Baker start, the bench looks extremely weak.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
And we have no long reliever... is it Russel?
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
not to mention here's hoping to lots of skipping Cashner, he shouldn't pitch more than 150 innings this year imo.
I guess Russell or Samardzija is the long relief, seems you can easily send down Russell or Mateo and call up Coleman if the bullpen gets burned over a few days.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
At that pace he's been going, he'll need 40 starts to pitch 150 innings.
I guess they could do what you suggest, but what if you tire out all your short relievers and then need Coleman to actually come in and short relieve? Seems like a bad plan.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Stevens too and Wellemeyer could take the long relief role if his hip issue clears up.
just saying there's options
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Don't they still have several interchangeable rh rp's at Iowa? They did over the last 1-2 years, that seemed like the single strongest position of depth for us in the minors.
Re:long reliever?
FYI: Sullivan asked and answered,
"The Cubs won't have a long man in the pen to start the season. Quade said he's counting on Jeff Samardzija, James Russell and Mateo to be able to go two innings, while Carlos Marmol, Kerry Wood, Sean Marshall and John Grabow will basically be one-inning relievers."
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
well if you're trading a possible HR for a much likelier out, sure, but otherwise Colvin and Fukudome are about the same .800 OPS guy, just get there in different ways.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Cubs vs Rangers for Sat: (also CM twitter)
LF Johnson, SS Barney, CF Byrd, C Soto, 1B Pena, 3B Marquez Smith, RF Fuke, 2B DeWitt, P Cashner
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Silva tells Sully there's no chance of him reporting to Iowa, and that new pitching coach Mark Riggans wasn't up front with him about how they intended to use him.
I don't know about the second part, he did start in ST and pitched poorly. Still, if this were Dempster having an awful spring nobody would be considering releasing him.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
What a cheesedick! This should be what happens when you come to camp completely out of shape, and drastically overpaid!
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
True, but seems like a strange move. He's getting big bucks this year, you aren't going to contend anyway, just give him a chance and if he stinks the place up then cut him loose.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Or keep him around as a long man - who is that going to be anyway, or are all our starters going to not get hurt and go 6 innings minimum for 162 games?
If Carpenter is a reliever, Archer is a Ray and Jackson is toast, Casey Coleman is now the best our fine minor league system can produce to be our 6th starter.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Robert Redford throwing out the first pitch on opening day. Better stock up on replacement light bulbs for the field lighting.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
If Hendry is offered tips on future horse racing winners from Redford, he should probably just ignore it.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Hmmm. I am happy to let one of the young pitchers a chance to pitch in the Bigs. AND, I just didn't think Hendry would have the balls to do this. Levine called this today on his show.
Statistically, one would have to think that there is no way in hell Silva would have replicated his performance from first-half of last year. It was an aberration.
But, I suppose they could have stashed Cash in the minors and then cut Silva when he couldn't pitch anymore.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Who's Jeeovanni Sato, and what was Quade doing wandering around on the field in the middle of the inning?
It's taken a bit of a while, but it looks like Quade has figured out who our best offensive player is, at least.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
espn announce crew was too busy opening candy wrappers to explain what the hell was going on with the quade on field thing. i was on the phone so i missed that.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
I don't think they knew... they weren't clear on the rule, but at some point someone seemed to say in the background that they had the choice of Sac fly or, "hit by pitch"... I just hope that Quade wasn't actually asking Byrd if he wanted the RBI.
I am not a fan of live K zone... how come the announcers don't know that you can't really represent a cube like structure such as the strike zone with a 2 dimensional outline anyway?
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
There was catcher interference on the play. The PBP team thought that Quade was given the option to put RJ back on third, and Byrd was given 1st.
So, 1st an third, no outs, and the run was taken off the board. It worked out as Soto hit a double and they ended up scoring 2 runs in the inning.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Right? Even if you never heard his name before, how do you screw up the pronunciation?
And what the heck happened with Byrd's sac fly? Was that really called catcher's interference?
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
That was the call. On the slow mo replay you could see a little something flying off of the glove or the bat, maybe that had something to do with the blown call.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
2 people in parachat...woo...getting crowded.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
way to celebrate getting that #5 slot, cashner.
1 out in the 1st, 4 runs in.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Let's hope Cashner is not needed until June.
He looks like shit today.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
He didn't look like shit in the next four innings. He's changeup was great. He threw a nice two seamer a couple times, and the slider actually slid a few times.
Give the kid a chance. Don't be like the normal Cub fan: The world will end after this pitch.!

Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
scary thing is the guy had a mid 90s fastball in highschool and TB knew they wanted him for a batter.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
If you are interested in Silva's point of view, Sullivan has it:
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
"Say what you've got to say and say it," he said. "Don't say people are competing for a spot. Because it wasn't true. Nobody was competing for a spot. They already had their rotation done. It was very clear."
17.1 ip - 32 h - 2 bb - 6 k - 10.90 era
up until today he was 5th overall in IP and he had to leave early more than a few times
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
I think he must have a short memory or something. His results were pretty good his last start, so I guess he figures that's all that counts. Cashner went into today's start with more walks than K's in his "official" innings, so Silva sort of has a point.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
it seems he's most upset by his final start, believing/knowing it was already pre-determined he wasn't gonna be a cub.
still...there was a competition, imo...he just failed out a bit early.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Which one of these seems like it doesn't belong with the others:
Albert Pujols
Ryan Braun
Joey Votto
Marlin Fucking Bryd
"Sure, I cannot hit for the power or get on base like Soto can, but Quade says I get to hit third!"
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Do the Cubs have a player on the roster that belongs with those three guys?
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
in AAA, yes...bobby f'n scales
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
No, but Soto and Ramirez are both a lot closer than Marlon Byrd. Heck, I might rather give those PAs to Colvin.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
I always thought ARam made more sense as a number 3 hitter over DLee the last few years. He makes more contact than DLee did.
As for this year? We're screwed. ARam probably should hit 3rd, but Soto would also be a good choice. Byrd should probably hit 2nd or 7th in most NL lineups. On our team it wouldn't be a horrible thing to have him lead off if they're so intent on Castro hitting 2nd.
Something like
Flip flop Sori and Pena at will, they both make too little contact to be in the 4th spot. 5th is the highest either should hit.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Byrd is your average B-player. The fact that he looks so good on the Cubs says more about the Cubs than it does Marlon Byrd. And the Cubs farm system is bullshit, so don't expect to get this kind of talent in-house. And most teams aren't interested in trading this kind of talent or letting it go to free agency... meh.
The really crappy part of all this was that Soriano was supposed to be that player with all the pizazz. He's, obviously, turned out to be a $8 million/per player with a $18 million/per contract.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
'Everyone' was pissed that Silva was certain to make it as the 5th starter, because Hendry didn't have the balls to put in someone better. Now that he's been replaced, people are pissed for the opposite reason. Silva has proven himself to be a behavioral problem with his on-field pre-fucking-season blowup and with his recent statements. I'm glad the Cubs (including last year with Z) have decided they're no longer putting up with this shit. He also showed up out of shape (knowing he was competing for a spot) and sucked in ST. Of all the things Silva could have done to make the team, he's done none of them. The Cubs aren't going anywhere this year, so I'm glad some young guys get the experience as they are the future, while Silva is not. I'm sure someone will take him, but he's not helping our trade chances with his behavior.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
It's just the Hendry MO of not knowing how to build value and not really understanding how to construct a roster again and again. By saying "Carlos Silva is going to be in the pen", he gives the Cubs a long man, and he creates the impression that the Cubs still think he can be of value. By doing his "burn notice", he just fucks himself. The bullpen has no long man, there's plenty of guys who pitched shitty in ST on the team, and now he can't even get a team to pay $1 million of a guy's salary who was pretty solid last year.
It's just like he says "How can I fuck this up the worst possible way? OK, let's do that."
Unfortunately, it won't be until Casey Coleman makes his 12th start this year for the Cubs, while a motivated Silva is going Bob Tewksbury on us somewhere when Hendry will realize "Oh, I am a dumb fuck, I could have had that guy."
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
Build some value for Carlos Silva? Yeah, I'm sure everyone doesn't already know what he has to offer.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift

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.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.
If the ball didn't deflect off the pitcher's mound, the game wouldn't have ended. Montgomery did miss his location though, but if that same contact was made and went in any of direction, good chance of ground out if it doesn't get through.
If it was 1 night later, Chapman would be out there and we probably would be going to extras.
Also, If KB wasn't robbed of a HR, perhaps we would have won. We will never know. Nice play by Melky though.
The comparison isn't Chapman replacing Rondon. It's Chapman replacing Richard (hopefully) in the pen. Chapman's better.
