Description: Airplane on the top of a builiding in Manhattan.
The biplane on the roof sculpture was designed by some guy named Rudolph de Harak and executed by the sculptor William Tarr in 1969 (thanks Jack Ryan).
Apparently it's a full-size model of a WW1 Sopwith Camel, complete with runway. It was put there to amuse inhabitants of surrounding scyscrapers, notably the WTC.
...the biplane on the roof of 77 Water Street in Lower Manhattan, a playful touch installed by the developer, the William Kaufman Organization.

Here is my piece in its entirety for Light Grey Art Lab's Animystics show! I think its quite obvious my spirit animal was largely inspired by my cat, Ringi. This show is devoted to animals and the importance they hold in our lives. We'd be much different if we didn't have our furry companions, am I right? The show will be at LGAL in Minneapolis April 25th. Prints and framed original work is up for purchase here:
Part of the proceeds will go to specific animal rescue. Purchasing Olaf will support the Feline Rescue Inc!

Packers elect six playoff captainsPosted by on January 1, 2014 – 4:50 pm
The Packers have voted for and selected their captains for the 2013 postseason.
Unlike some teams, Green Bay doesn't have season-long captains but chooses captains during the regular season on a weekly basis to go out for the coin toss. For the postseason, these six players will serve as captains and wear a "C" patch on their jerseys for as long as the Packers season continues.
They are QB Aaron Rodgers and WR Jordy Nelson on offense, LB A.J. Hawk and S Morgan Burnett on defense, and K Mason Crosby and CB Jarrett Bush on special teams.
This is the first time for Nelson and Burnett to be chosen as playoff captains. Rodgers leads the way with five selections now, followed by Bush with four, and Hawk and Crosby with three apiece.
Nelson has set career highs this season in both receptions (85) and receiving yards (1,314). Hawk led the team in tackles with 153, the seventh time in eight seasons he has either finished first or second on the team in that category. Hawk also posted a career-high five sacks.
Burnett finished second on the team with 104 tackles despite missing the first three games due to injury. Bush had seven tackles and one forced fumble on the coverage units, while Crosby posted the highest field-goal percentage of his seven-year career at 89.1 percent, making 33 of 37 field goals.

Matthews back at practice but limited; Hayward ruled out againPosted by on October 2, 2013 – 5:04 pm
Packers LB Clay Matthews, who missed the second half of the Week 3 game in Cincinnati due to a hamstring injury, returned to practice on Wednesday but only on a limited basis. His availability for Sunday's home game against Detroit remains in question.
"I think Clay is getting better," Head Coach Mike McCarthy said. "He's made a lot of progress since coming off the field in Cincinnati. I'm hopeful he'll be able to do more tomorrow. That's the plan."
Elsewhere on the injury report, CB Casey Hayward (hamstring) has been ruled out for the fourth straight game. Since re-aggravating his hamstring injury in the third preseason game, Hayward has now been out for six weeks.
RB James Starks (knee) is also out and will be sidelined "a couple weeks," McCarthy said. Also, backup offensive lineman Greg Van Roten sprained a foot in Monday's practice and will be out multiple weeks.
The other six players on the injury report were full participants in Wednesday's practice. They included S Morgan Burnett (hamstring), CB Jarrett Bush (hamstring), TE Jermichael Finley (concussion), RBs Eddie Lacy (concussion) and Johnathan Franklin (foot) and FB John Kuhn (hamstring).
In speaking to reporters for the first time since his concussion, which occurred on the first offensive series in Cincinnati, Finley called it a "long process" to get medical clearance, but he said he understands the reasons for the protocol and the protection of players' health. He said it took a couple of days before he felt mostly normal again.
"Jermichael looks good. The bye week has helped him," McCarthy said. "He looked like Jermichael. He's in a good place. He practices very hard. It was good to have him back."

If necessary, McCarthy prepared to go with just two RBsPosted by on September 19, 2013 – 4:36 pm
With RB Eddie Lacy (concussion) and FB John Kuhn (hamstring) still not having practiced this week, Mike McCarthy said on Thursday he's prepared to go into Sunday's game at Cincinnati with just two running backs — James Starks and Johnathan Franklin — if he has to.
"I'm prepared. That's my job," McCarthy said. "The preference is not to go into the game with two running backs. We'll be much better prepared than we were two years ago in Kansas City."
McCarthy referred to that game as a "hard lesson," as the Packers' only healthy RBs for that contest were Ryan Grant and Kuhn, and Grant had bruised ribs coming in. McCarthy said the game got to a point in the second half where "it was time to run the ball," but Grant had to sit out a series or two and the Packers didn't have the firepower in the backfield to make it go.
The Packers do have one RB on the practice squad, rookie Michael Hill from Missouri Western, so if neither Lacy nor Kuhn can play, Hill would be a possible third back, but a player would have to be released in order for Hill to be signed to the 53-man roster.
An emergency option would be WR Randall Cobb, who has carried the ball out of the backfield at times the past two seasons, but McCarthy said he'd never put Cobb in a workhorse-type position.
"I don't want to make a living running the ball with Randall Cobb, let's be honest," McCarthy said. "Randall is a dynamic player, but he doesn't need to be lined up behind center carrying the ball 20 times. That's not the plan."
It's also not the plan to automatically sit all of the Packers' injured players because the bye week is coming up, though McCarthy did indicate S Morgan Burnett (hamstring) is a "longshot" to play this week.
In Thursday's full-pads practice, CB Jarrett Bush (hamstring) joined Burnett, Lacy and Kuhn as a non-participant, while TE Jermichael Finley (toe) and DE Johnny Jolly (neck) practiced but were limited. G T.J. Lang (back) was added to the report as a limited participant, but McCarthy didn't believe his injury was anything serious.

CB Casey Hayward still out; more on injuriesPosted by on September 18, 2013 – 4:44 pm
Packers CB Casey Hayward has been ruled out for the third straight week to start the 2013 season with a hamstring injury, so the earliest Hayward could see the field this season will come after next week's bye.
"He just tells me he's making progress," Head Coach Mike McCarthy said. "He had a similar injury. This one wasn't supposed to be as bad as when he hurt it the first time, the day before he came back for training camp, so he's making progress."
Hayward missed the first three full weeks of training camp before returning to practice, but then he aggravated the hamstring when he tried to play in the third preseason game vs. Seattle, on Aug. 23. He has not practiced since.
Also missing practice on Wednesday were CB Jarrett Bush (hamstring), FB John Kuhn (hamstring), RB Eddie Lacy (concussion) and TE Jermichael Finley (toe). Finley was on the report last week and rested the toe at times and then still played in the game on Sunday.
S Morgan Burnett (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis, but in the portion of the workout open to reporters, he was doing jog-thru work on the scout team, so he may be held out until after the bye week as well.
DE Johnny Jolly is also listed on the injury report with a neck injury, but he was a full participant in practice.

No setbacks so far for Morgan BurnettPosted by on September 12, 2013 – 4:52 pm
Packers S Morgan Burnett practiced for the second straight day on Thursday in a limited fashion without any setbacks to his hamstring injury, which kept him out of last week's opener in San Francisco.
Also, G Josh Sitton (back) and TE Jermichael Finley (toe) returned to practice on a limited basis after sitting out Wednesday's workout. Thursday's practice was in pads.
Head Coach Mike McCarthy said Burnett was able to do more in practice on Thursday than initially expected, but after Burnett suddenly was held out of practice last Friday and had to miss the game, caution is certainly being exercised.
"It's better than last week," Burnett said. "It's improving, it's getting there. We're going to see how I feel tomorrow.
"I want to be out there so bad. I'm anxious to get out there and get the season started. But the trainers and guys there, they're doing their job, so that's why we have to play it by ear."
McCarthy said the situations for Sitton and Finley are similar. If their medical exams go well Friday morning and they can practice again, their chances of playing will look even better.
CB Casey Hayward (hamstring) has been ruled out for the second straight week, and CB Jarrett Bush pulled up in practice on Thursday with a hamstring injury and was added to the injury report. Bush was on the report last week with an ankle injury but still played.
LB Nick Perry (neck) was downgraded to a limited participant in practice after going full on Wednesday, when practice was not in pads. McCarthy said Perry's stinger "flared up" after Wednesday's practice and his evaluation was ongoing.

But, what has bothered me is obviious question never gets answered by java developers.

Why Does It Make Sense To Give Away Half the Beneifts of RxJAvA By Insisting On Integrating It Into Our Mutable OOP Patterns?

You Do Realize That MVC/MVP/MVVM And All Their Hybrids Are In-Fact Mutable, Right?

Yeah! Do You Feel Stupid?

If I insttead use an OOP Compound Pattern than makes data immutable with the data control in functions, than I get both Composition-Over-Inheritance and Immutable with the full responsive app features instead of half of them with RxJAva.

For those following along, its similar to FaceBook's Flux:

except we are not using Reactive bindings for views but the Android OS framework components and when we do need the Director component we are using RxJava to provide that functionality.

NOTE FOR PURISTS: If I wanted to be pure the views would be recreated when updating, instead I use the Android Framework machinery and update views. And of course I am not using pure POJOs in the Domain but those with that are Parceable.

Okay, okay..to be fair when the NetFlix RxJava project started we were still dealing with those Android Devices with low Ram memory. Because everything is immutable it takes a little more Ram for this approach.

But, at API 18 and beyond we are no longer dealing with any Android Devices having low Ram and from api 16 to api 18 there is only one market where Android Devices with that low of Ram are still prevalent in the marketplace, China. Since most of us are not dealing with the China market it might make sense to switch now to this new way of Architecting an Android Application.

And by accident I found the hook to differentiate me from other Android Developers to obtain android app development gigs. As I can emphasize Huge gains in Android App responsiveness by architecting the android app in this way.

But, what to name it?

SoidumReactor?

SodiumFlux?

Probably one of the hardest things for any coder to get as far as what dev processes fit in a start-up is that the code dev processes have to align and couple inputs to outputs across not only engineering but also customer feedback and leadership feedback.

I can do daily builds and weekly milestones all I want but absent feedback from the top of the start-up and feedback from customers it just becomes this traveling from point a to point b with no context whatsoever. And that daily builds and weekly milestones has to be done in a way to TRAIN the other people you interact with about providing feedback. You cannot just assume that they know what feedback means or how to even provide it a meaningful way.

I think of it as you are actually using the development process to train Leaders.Fred Grotthttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16004411151928050.post-64855498874571995092016-06-18T13:28:00.001-05:002016-06-18T13:28:21.214-05:00MoneyballLet's just say I found a way to sort of tell the story of preparing for getting android users for an android app in a very crowded situation. Its very similar to the baseball movie called moneyball. The IT shops and Design shops do not have the answer and that is why in the past 24 months they have removed highlighting their own android apps and only highlight the customer brands and not the app in all their advertising.

Part of the answer is what I have been doing all along in collecting together 50+ back ported UI libraries and coupling that with some tools to reduce boilerplate. That difference in developer workflow than allows that time savings to be leveraged into A/B testing of visual designs and app workflows which is where the real app users come from in a now crowded market as the one that has the right app workflow and visually stunning app now stands out.

I found a place that has that type of world-frame-of-reference so now its some heavy duty writing of the sales presentation to get the sale. A little different trip in that it means I might be moving to SV, but its a nice new adventure...YEAH!Fred Grotthttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16004411151928050.post-24606524849591110772016-05-26T15:09:00.001-05:002016-05-26T15:09:28.296-05:00Google vs Oracle, Google Won!Yup its kind of shocking huh?

The medium articles will cover how you use Google Truth to write an api component, the type of things you use to customize how you test but in such a way that you write less test code.

Let me explain.

There are three environments where we do not have shadows, iOS, web, and windowsphone.

Every H* RGB color-space model has a bias in two components of the model. In HSL the strongest bias is the S part of HSL.

In HSV(HSB) its the V or brightness that has the strongest bias with the S part of HSV having the second highest bias. Basically I am taking what Google started as far as tuning primary colors based on that we only probably want white and black pegging at either 0 or 100 on S and V and just refining that and adding some more colors to build it out.Fred Grotthttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16004411151928050.post-81547021046208666372016-03-24T13:20:00.001-05:002016-03-24T13:20:47.190-05:00Google's Material Design MistakeSo I have been rewriting and rewriting the article on how to take a brand logo and construct a material palette to use.

Let's say its understanding what a colorist does, and how colors are defined on computer systems and some mobile device characteristics. I am being coy as I am presenting my alternative in my Medium article which will be published next week.

We have a very popular use case of having to target Android 4.x devices while at the same time targeting Android 7.0 devices.

Jack and Jill Tool Chain does not use proguard in the android gradle plugin implementation as of early 2016. As of early 2016 annotation processing such as Dagger and Butterknife still not working. And of course any 3rd party libs you use has not switched to the Jack and Jill Tool Chain just yet.

You might think well I will just set source and target compatibility to Java 8 and proceed like you have always done using the 3rd party retrolambda backporting libs. Not so as with preview N the android gradle plugin stuff changed in that the usejack in defaultConfig setting is depreciated and setting source and target compatibility to Java 8 automatically sets the android gradle plugin to use the Jack and Jill Tool chain.

Here are your options:

1. If testing any preview N features is not a priority than use the
 AndroidStudio 2.0 as it has the non-N Preview Android Gradle Plugin which I presume still has the useJack setting in the defaultConfig block still working. You will still be able to use retrolambda backports, dagger, butterknife, proguard rule files, etc.

That still means you have some things to track down and fix manually, such as the mistake of using file uri schemes.

If you have used retrolambda back ports than that is the only option you have, at this early 2016 moment.

Why not Another option? Remember, a certain OEM goofed up on the Android 4.x series and decided to include a support library that could not be updated, cough Samsung you MFer, so we use proguard repackaging rules to fix that mistake and thus if targeting android 4.x devices you cannot switch to the Jack and Jill Tool chain just yet due to that mistake.

Product Description
From Amazon
Allison Pearson's debut novel, I Don't Know How She Does It, is a rare and beautiful hybrid: a devastatingly funny novel that's also a compelling fictional world. You want to climb inside this book and inhabit it. However, you might find it pretty messy once you're in there. Narrator Kate Reddy is the manager of a hedge fund and mother of two small children. The book opens with an emblematic scene as Kate "distresses" a store-bought mince pie to make it appear homemade. Her days are measured in increments of minutes and even seconds; her fund stays organized but her house and family are falling apart. The book is a pearly string of great lines. Here's Kate on lack of sleep: "They're right to call it a broken night.... You crawl back to bed and you lie there trying to do the jigsaw of sleep with half the pieces missing." On baby boys: "A mother of a one-year-old son is a movie star in a world without critics." On subtle office dynamics:
The women in the offices of EMF [Kate's firm] don't tend to display pictures of their kids. The higher they go up the ladder, the fewer the photographs. If a man has pictures of kids on his desk, it enhances his humanity; if a woman has them it decreases hers. Why? Because he's not supposed to be home with the children; she is.There's inherent drama here: Kate is wildly appealing, and we want things to work out for her. In the end, the book isn't a just collection of clever lines on the theme of working motherhood; it's a real, rich novel about a character we come to cherish. --Claire Dederer --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Publishers Weekly
This scintillating first novel has already taken its author's native England by storm, and in the tradition of Bridget Jones, to which it is likely to be compared, will almost certainly do the same here. The Bridget comparison has only limited validity, however: both books have a winning female protagonist speaking in a diary-like first person, and both have quirkily formulaic chapter endings. But Kate is notably brighter, wittier and capable of infinitely deeper shadings of feeling than the flighty Bridget, and her book cuts deeper. She is the mother of a five-year-old girl and a year-old boy, living in a trendy North London house with her lower-earning architect husband, and is a star at her work in an aggressive City of London brokerage firm. She is intoxicated by her jet-setting, high-profile job, but also is desperately aware of what it takes out of her life as a mother and wife, and scrutinizes, with high intelligence and humor, just how far women have really come in the work world. If that makes the book sound polemical, it is anything but. It is delightfully fast moving and breathlessly readable, with dozens of laugh-aloud moments and many tenderly touching ones-and, for once in a book of this kind, there are some admirable men as well as plenty of bounders. Toward the end-to which a reader is reluctant to come-it becomes a little plot-bound, and everything is rounded off a shade too neatly. But as a hilarious and sometimes poignant update on contemporary women in the workplace, it's the book to beat.

Allison Pearson has covered all bases here, Kate, like so many career oriented women are spread so thin across the board that I defy any woman to read this and not relate to at least five issues Kate deals with. It brought some humor to my life and made me realize what is really important. I personally laughed more than a dozen times as Kate pounds her way through life's daily problems. She tries to find an solution for every problem, although sometimes the answers are unorthodox, there is always a tiny bit of silver lining peeking out of the cloud to be grabbed.
As Kate tries to find the delicate balance of a career in high finance, motherhood, friend and wife. She shows not only to herself what is really important to her but what really is important in life. Kate discovers through all her mishaps that staying on top off all the so called priority lists are not such a high priority after all. Keeping up with the neighbors and having an air of complete organization is harder in life than on paper, as she makes lists of things to be done and never really crossing anything off the list in the end she concludes that she really just needs to reassess her lifestyle that she tried to live and live the lifestyle that she can live.Read more ›
I do like the fact that Kate is a very complicated character, with a miserable father and jealous sister, plus she's worked hard to get to where she is -- just like all of us. Her plight exemplifies the complex balance of all women... its not just a matter of stay home or quit. Its much harder when your job defines you.
I was a bit shocked Kate decides to stay home at the end. I'll bet she's pretty stir-crazy within a few months. When you get off a treadmill, its hard to get your bearnings!
No, I couldn't completely relate to Kate's life. We aren't that rich, and my job isn't nearly as demanding (thank goodness!). But there was a lot there that I could understand -- knowing that your husband would not even think to read a note from school, weighing what to say to your childcare help because that person is very valuable and you don't want to cause trouble, dealing with household horrors like rotting fruit and rodents because you just can't stay on top of the housework and nobody else is doing it for you, making lists that carry over the same items day after day because there aren't enough hours to accomplish everything. (Actually, I'd guess that most of these things are problems for at-home moms, too.)
Yes, Kate could be frustrating, but who really has it all together? Kate was a workaholic and needed to be more honest and assertive -- at her office, with her household help, with her husband. She needed to take control of her life, which was obviously falling apart -- she drank too much, spent too much, flirted too much. Those of us who lack Kate's material comforts may feel that she was a whiner, but in the end, let the person with their act completely together cast the first stone. I found Kate's messy life refreshingly real.
What troubled me though, and why I gave the book three stars, was the end. Kate's only way out was to quit her job (though she seemed to be on the way to creating a new one in the epilogue).Read more ›
Being a working mom, I immediately thought that this book would appeal to me... but it seemed to miss the mark at just about every turn.
Kate, the main bread-winner in her family, works an obscene amount of hours, leaving the house before her kids have eaten breakfast and not getting home until after they are asleep. All day she agonizes over her work-life balance yet never seems to do anything to adjust it. Constantly pulled away from the home on business trips to other countries, Kate seems to have chosen her work-life over her home-life, to the point that she fantasizes about having an affair with an American client.
Have you ever heard the saying "You can't have your cake and eat it too"? That is how I felt about Kate... you can't expect to have kids and NOT give up some part of your life. Having obviously chosen her career over her family, it drove me crazy when Kate suddenly has an epiphany, when her kids are 6-years-old and 2-years-old, that she is throwing away her life with her children. It takes her husband leaving, her nanny falling ill and her assistant becoming the office 'joke' before she puts her life priorities straight. Immediately my thought was, "Really?!?! You wasted SIX YEARS of your relationship with your daughter and NOW you decide to be a 'Mom'"... Ugg.
Overall, this book was too unrealistic for me. It could be that my feelings on the whole work vs. family thing are a little too strong, but, as a mother, you will ALWAYS put your children first... ALWAYS!!

No Lead Safe When Playing AZL Cubs
Cubs 2008 20th round draft pick and current AZL batting leader LF Jericho Jones (who is now hitting .437) rapped out four hits (three singles and a double), 1B Bryan Jost reached base five times (two singles, a triple, and two walks), and RHP Ryan Searle returned from Australia to throw three innings of no run/no hit relief (0/5 BB/K), as the AZL Cubs rallied from an early 8-0 deficit to edge the AZL Brewers 9-8 at Fitch Park Field #3 Saturday morning.
The 19-year old Searle spent the past two months at the MLB Australian Academy, where he led all MLBAAP startng pitchers in wins, ERA, WHIP, and K. He attended Cubs Minor League Camp and Extended Spring Training in both 2007 and 2008, but yesterday was his first "official" minor league appearance. It was the most dominating outing by any AZL Cubs pitcher at Fitch Park so far this year, with the possible exception of 1st round pick Andrew Cashner's one-inning pro debut on Thursday.
The MLBAAP concluded it's season last week amidst heavy rains that forced cancellation of the last couple of games. In addition to Searle's superior performance, 18-year old left-handed hitting OF Sean Williams hit 330/412/455, good for 3rd in the league in BA, 5th in OBP, and 7th in SLG. He also finished 3rd in doubles and 4th in hits, as well as tying for 2nd in the league in RBI and 4th in runs scored.
At least four Australians (Searle and Williams, plus two 17 year old pitchers--LHP Cody Hams and RHP Adam Spencer) will be attending Cubs Minor League Camp next March.
A former Australian cricket star (bowler), Hams attended Minor League Camp and EXST at Fitch Park this season before returning to Australia with Searle on May 21st for the MLBAAP season.
Korean SS Hak-Ju Lee also attended the MLBAAP this year, but he participated only in the "Two Week Phase" before returning to South Korea.
Like the four Australians, Lee will be at Cubs Minor League Camp next season, and he might possibly also attend the AZ Instructional League at Fitch Park in September-October 2008 (still TBD), as RHP Dae-Eun Rhee (currently rehabbing from recent Tommy John Surgery) did last year.
Re: No Lead Safe When Playing AZL Cubs
Wow, Phil. AZL Cubs games sure sound like a hell of a lot of fun these days. I imagine you'll be bummed out when all these dominant players are promoted. Given the sheer number of good players, there seems like there is gonna have to be a pretty big shakeup of the whole system to make room for all of them... Or maybe they'll just keep them there and wait until next year...
Re: No Lead Safe When Playing AZL Cubs
I think they ought to send a few of these players up now while they're swinging the hot bats.They can give the Boise team a shot in the arm offensively that they're lacking right now.The players that have continued to struggle in Boise should be moved down to Mesa.
Re: No Lead Safe When Playing AZL Cubs
AZ Phil,
Do you know why Vitters hasn't played for Boise in over a week? Is he hurt?
Re: murton was sent down to make room for epat.
The Murton curse again.
When will the horror end?
Re: Do you know why Vitters hasn't played for Boise
Re: No Lead Safe When Playing AZL Cubs
Arizona Phil,
What is the scoop on 2008 Cubs 9th round pick Jay Jackson, 20 year old right-handed pitcher from Furman U. His combined Boise-Peoria stats are pretty impressive -- shows apparent command of the plate coupled with an ability to miss bats consistently:
28.1IP, 3.18ERA, 26H, 5BB, 44K, 3HR allowed in 8 (mostly long relief) appearances.
Did you see him pitch while he was in Arizona? Does his stuff translate for success at higher levels? His last 3 appearances with Peoria have been exceptional, averaging almost 2K per IP: 12.1IP, 10H, 2ER, 22K, 1BB

Teflon Tim at it again! Damn!
Thanks for the link, Nav. Looks like the kid could get a shot down the road...
Re: No Lead Safe When Playing AZL Cubs
Thanks for the link navigator. Per the article, the guy can evidently spot a low 90's fastball pretty well ... have to think he came up with a new wrinkle since last year to go along with his command of the fb.
Re: No Lead Safe When Playing AZL Cubs
He has a pretty good slider which Cubs scouts believe will be a plus pitch. I think I heard that once his mechanics are cleaned up, he could throw a little harder. He's only relieving because he's teamed up with rehabber Jose Pina (who can't pass 3 innings), otherwise he'd be starting.
Re: No Lead Safe When Playing AZL Cubs
Anybody know what happenned to AZ Phil? He hasn't posted anything about the AZL Cubs since July 27th. Maybe he works nights and can't get to the 7:00 pm games.I sure miss the updates

That's a hell of a first impression by Montgomery. Brian Cashman having a good laugh on that debut.
...and it's a 3 run homer.
hey, vogelbomb had a HR on his 1st game with SEA AAA, too!
montgomery comes on with men on 1st/2nd, 2 out, in the 8th.
from rotoworld...
"Tommy Stokke of FanRag Sports reports Chris Sale was sent home from U.S. Cellular Field on Saturday after cutting up throwback jerseys that he did not want to wear.
I thought the same. It'd be great luck to face these non-contenders after the trade deadline.
...why isn't j.lucroy playing for TEX yet?
2r HR on a 12-pitch AB.
nathan to join the cubs tomorrow.
Wow in deed.
FOX Sports @MLBONFOX
Chris Sale was scratched from tonight's scheduled start due to a clubhouse incident before the game
he was sent home by the team, too. the wsox released a press statement and everything. they stated it was non-physical in nature.
He was scratched from his start today. No reason given.
At the start of the season the book was that he was trying to pitch to more contact so he could stay in the game longer and it seems to be working so far. Contact against is 77.5% this year and it was 70.2% the year before. He averaged 6.7 IP/game last year and so far it's 7 IP/game. His actual pitches per game are only down to 106.1/game from 107.2/game last year but if he's able to go a bit farther into games without throwing more pitches and without giving up more runs that is a good thing.
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.

Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald believes that free agent wide receiver Mike Wallace will be the Dolphins No. 1 target in free agency. Salguero has mentioned that Wallace makes more sense than Greg Jennings for some time now. Jennings spent time with Dolphins HC Joe Philbin in Green Bay and fills an obvious need for a receiver, but Wallace would allow them to stretch the field and there's a growing belief that his skill set makes him more valuable than more accomplished receivers like Jennings, Dwayne Bowe and Wes Welker. It would seem like the Dolphins would prefer to sign Wallace and retain WR Brian Hartline at a reasonable price. It's been suggested that Wallace is looking for an annual salary in the $10-$11 million neighborhood, but Miami has money to spend. We have Wallace listed as the No. 6 best available player in our Top 50 Free Agents list. The post Mike Wallace The Dolphins' No. 1 Target In Free Agency? appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

Sorry but it is good to see you go. I work for a major international company and I have tried for years to get in contact with you and your guys to no avail, you and your guys never reply to emails and seem to think you are to important to discuss anything at conferences. I found that I had to work through my associates in the USA and go outside of Australia to get any real help so please dont screw that up.
i am sorry to hear your bad experience and i am surprised to hear that you have tried to contact *ME*
i try very hard to get back to everyone who contacts me, and i make time to meet with customers/partners when at conferences, so i am surprised to see your comment.
but obviously, what i say means nothing, it's what your experience is that matters.
you can contact me on frankarr @ microsoft.com
