…what I'm aiming to promote [is] — a universal spiritual oneness for all of us, welcoming to those who may be seeking refuge from a narrow sense of religion.
We Already Have Everything We Need – Sermon, 5/29/16
The more time we spend rejecting who we are, the further we get from the Buddha within. The more time we spend accepting who we are, the closer we get to staying in what you might call the Buddha zone forever.
Bittersweet Birthday
…as Buddhism teaches, nothing is permanent, not even spring and birthdays.

In Hospital & Out
I wish I could say that my Buddhist equanimity, developed over decades of practice, kept me from panicking, but I'd be violating the Fourth Precept, the one about false speech.
Solar Energy – Day One
I could tell people that it's a 9.12 kilowatt system expected to produce 971 kilowatt hours a month, but what does that mean in the real word?
Loving The World We Touch

In today's media-saturated world, it can feel like we are in perpetual crisis.

Unfortunately, there is little we…
Getting to Know my Mind
Although my visual memory is close to nonexistent, in real time I follow my monkey mind, which responds to what it sees. But I am not my mind just as I am not my body. I don't need to let a monkey lead me.
Pain and Dukkha
The Buddha said that all of his teachings were about dukkha and the cessation of dukkha. That leaves us with a religion based around single word, whose translation is tricky.
Buddha's Little Helper?
I felt as though I had reached a new level in my spiritual development — a step closer to Buddha-hood. Despite recent severe pain and despite shoulder surgery scheduled for next week, I was happy.
'This Body Is Not Me'
So, indeed, this body is not me. It's nothing like the body that ran three marathons in 1979 and '80.

When we open the gate of suffering within our own hearts we find that compassion is the transforming principle – compassion is the antidote to suffering. By understanding that all people feel the same suffering that we feel we can realize that, in this way, we are all the same…
On Not Wearing a Watch
So what started as a cultural adaptation became a spiritual one. We Buddhists like to live in the present moment — the here and the now — without fixation on past and future.

Cloud Expo New York $500 Savings here!
The focus of Java EE 7 is on the cloud, and specifically it aims to bring Platform-as-a-Service providers and application developers together so that portable applications can be deployed on any cloud infrastructure and reap all its benefits in terms of scalability, elasticity, multitenancy, etc. The existing specifications in the platform such as JPA, Servlets, EJB, and others will be updated to meet these requirements.
Java EE 7 continues the ease of development push that characterized prior releases by bringing further simplification to enterprise development. It also adds new, important APIs such as the REST client API in JAX-RS 2.0 and the long awaited Concurrency Utilities for Java EE API. Expression Language 3.0 and Java Message Service 2.0 will undergo an extreme makeover to align with the improvements in the Java language. There are plenty of improvements to several other components. Newer web standards like HTML 5 and Web Sockets will be embraced to build modern web applications.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Arun Gupta, Java EE and GlassFish evangelist at Oracle, will provide a complete introduction to the Java EE 7 platform, including the different components, and provide a roadmap

Raid starts crackdown on video gambling
There are 31 comments on the The Indianapolis Star story from Oct 12, 2007, titled Raid starts crackdown on video gambling. In it, The Indianapolis Star reports that:A pool hall co-owner faces four felony charges of promoting professional gambling after a raid by the state's newly created Gaming Control Division.

#1 Oct 12, 2007
In the words of Chief Wiggan, "Good work, boys" This offense is the NUMBER ONE problem we face in our state:)
#2 Oct 12, 2007
It is sad that the money to operation this state division could have been used for a hell of alot better things. Daniels is responding from pressure {riverboat gaming owners). Big money talks. When are we going to open our eyes and elect somebody who cares about the working family?
#3 Oct 12, 2007
House Bill 1510 pushed thru by our huge gambling lobby scores again! Let's make sure those American Legions and other civic organizations have no funding for the community projects they sponsored in the past and all money goes to the big pockets---what a waste of taxpayers money!
#4 Oct 12, 2007
Gambling is just stupid. I wouldn't handle the stools in front of the machines, officers. Use gloves. Apparently gamblers don't have sense enough to get up to go to the bathroom.
#5 Oct 12, 2007
I didn't know we had so many people in the state that has the big pockets that it takes to put someone like Daniels in office. Isn't it something the way money has a mouth that I haven't been able to see on it yet. But as they say money talks. So much for the little guy huh. We'll never get ahead with the likes of not my man Mitch running the state in the ground. If we wasn't broke before he came into office, we will be when he leaves office. He'll have everything sold by that time. And who knows where the money will end up at.
United States
#6 Oct 12, 2007
Interesting what led to the complaint that led to the investigation...patrons complaining about the machines. All those virtuous public service groups re-setting the machines so players win less than the law requires...
#7 Oct 12, 2007
I think its a great idea, these guys serve watered down drinks at $5.50 a pop and then take the rest of what money you have in "fixed' poker machines. remember the squeeky wheel gets the grease....
#8 Oct 12, 2007
ithink the dems controlled the house. do you hate them also for pushing this awful bill through. the haters in this state probably blame the govener on drought also. get a life.
#9 Oct 12, 2007
You can tell it is election year - finally cracking down on crime that has been hanging around since the last election.
#10 Oct 12, 2007
It may not have been patrons complaining. Could have been spouses after their significant other lost the grocery money.
#11 Oct 12, 2007
Let's get them. Nobody ever loses any money at the casino.

#12 Oct 12, 2007
I hate gambling, but situation is a prime example of a sell-out by Indiana legislators. They basically offered up the little guy in return for huge PAC checks and other perks from the gambling industry.
J. Dailey Roberts was right. The Indiana General Assembly has sold out and is now addicted to gambling money. Key legislators, including Sen. Dave Long, are in the pockets of the gambling firms. Long owes his postion as President Pro Tem of the Senate to the gambling industry because it was them who got former Pro Tem Bob Garton defeated in the 2006 primary elections. Garton opposed the gambling interests.
United States
#13 Oct 12, 2007
Add "this" between but and situation in my post above.(but THIS situation is a prime example of a sell-out by Indiana legislators."
#14 Oct 12, 2007
Casinos are next. The state can't even be trusted to run the take-a-number machine at the license branch.
#15 Oct 12, 2007
Daniels didn't sell the toll road moron...he leased it. And it works. Get a clue. You can say what u want about Mitch, but is is an economic genius. Shut your uneducated "pale in comoparrison" mouth until u can speak on the subject in an educated and intelligent fashion.
#16 Oct 12, 2007
There ya go. This guy understands how it works and who is affected. Rock on!
#18 Oct 12, 2007
When will people learn...most people go the gambling boats to go to the gambling boats. I can promise you this: if every bar in town had 20 machines (similar to pull tabs or slot machines) you can bet your butt that I'm still going to the boats for my gambling needs.
To those who would simply say gambling is stupid...well, you know what...people waste money on a lot of things in life. At least gambling can be fun. What would you prefer? Waste a couple hundred bucks a year on cigarettes instead?
#19 Oct 12, 2007
Now you're on to something. Leagalize and regulate prostitution. Why not get paid to do something that is perfectly legal if it's free? FYI...if people don't think sex with random people doesn't happen, well, they probably didn't go to college.

The biggest gaming operation in the state is numbers. I'd bet you would be surprised to know IMPD does not have anyone who even understands that business. The pea shake houses are running wide open, business as usual. Having said that, when will the pea shakes be shut down and people charged as professional gamblers. Some have been in operation since the 1960's and are only receiving token misdemeanor charges. Charge some of these people with felonies and give them immunity to tell who they are paying off. The Star ingnores because they don't have any reporters that know or understand much about it either. Neither do the police department(s). There was a time when the FBI cracked them, but those days have passed. Stop illegal organized gambling. I am not talking about the family poker game, but professional games. These illegal operations are donating thousands and thousands of dollars to keep their favorite Indianapolis politicians in office. Somebody do something, please. If there is a state agency to investigate, do it NOW. It is much bigger than video gambling.
#21 Oct 12, 2007
Why, because Monroe Gray owns a pea shake house on Illinois St.

From the second Jaguar walked in the door, lighting up the room with that 1000 mega watt smile, even fully dressed he was so sexy it seemed a crime for him to ever wear a stitch of clothing. Great as he looked from first glance, it just went uphill from there and quickly!Great arms, great face, great abs and great big thick cock wrapped in the package of a hot blooded 20 year old that is nothing less then well honed machine of beauty. Like the cat of the same name, the view of that tight hole, massive dick and that low hanging swollen nut sack swinging between those nutcracker thighs when he's on his hand and knees, he operates most efficiently down on all fours.He caresses his entire body as he pumps out a high flying ribbon of sperm. He must have worked up quite a thirst in the process as he tastes the sweat from his own biceps. From the sampling he takes of his own homemade protein shake, he must have worked up quite an appetite too

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.
Re: Castro Casts Seattle Boat People Adrift
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

Stockpiling young talent isn't only for trading for someone like Chapman though. Even with an elite closer winning the World Series is basically a crap shoot so the key is to get to the playoffs as much as possible and not just mortgage everything on one year. Once you get there an elite bullpen certainly helps but the playoffs can be won by one hitter or starting pitcher getting hot (Murphy, Molina, Baumgardner) and a closer might not be able to stop that.
I'm also not crazy about press convictions. As the police report noted, there were no marks on the lady in question. There's a TMZ link (of course) to her police pictures, as well.
I think the only way this trade goes real bad is if Cubbery intervenes and Chapman is suddenly bad for some reason.
I am right there with you closing in on 60.
I don't care that much about "mortgaging" one player who is not only blocked by two guys, but is not ready to hit the majors for at least a couple years.
There is no reason why this team, this year, can't have a real shot at something NONE of us have experienced.
Further, I don't feel that even if they fall short that they have ruined their farm system.
I have made my opinion clear here, with others, Warren was shit on the Cubs save one spot start.
Trading for Warren, Warren sucking, getting Warren back for Chapman plus 3 prospects, sounds like Revenge of The Yankees on the former Boston executive. Old rivalries never die.
I pray to the heavens above Chapman doesn't suck for some reason, or he'll be booed out of town faster than a Todd Hundley revival meeting.
I'm kind of nostalgic for the Schwarber-for-Miller rumors.
This offseason, after some ridiculous playoff run and Chapman saving every game from here until the end of the postseason striking out 27/9innings, I welcome anyone to quote this thread and call me a dummy: I hate this trade, and my hate is 2 parts Chapman makes this team less likeable and 1 part that's a ridiculous overpay for 30 regular season innings and, at tops, 10 postseason innings. Already hoping they don't extend him.
btw...Thanks AZ Phil. I'm really enjoying your take on this trade.
I'm a bit disappointed on the Warren experience. Essentially they gave Castro away for crickets (OK, well they signed Zobrist with the Castro salary dump). Otherwise one might look at it as Chapman for Castro and our #1 minors prospect (Torres) + McKinney/Crawford. Seems pricey for a 2 month rental. We will see if this price tag is that steep in a relative way based on the remaining deadline deals for relievers.
Yep. One of the great things about this team (in addition to being really good at baseball) was the "likable" factor. Feels a bit different now. Who knows...maybe Chapman will be the king of the dance parties.
Here are some possible corresponding minor league moves we might see in the aftermath of the Chapman trade:
SOUTH BEND to MYRTLE BEACH: OF Donnie Dewees and INF Bryant Flete
EUGENE to SOUTH BEND: OF Robert Garcia and INF Vimael Machin
There is really no reason to replace Billy McKinney at Tennessee because both Chris Coghlan and Jorge Soler are doing their rehab at Tennessee.
And there are plenty of pitchers at Iowa. No need to replace Warren at AAA. .
I am 70 years old. The Cubs last played in the World Series in 1945. I was born in 1946. I hate to lose a prospect like Torres, but when the opportunity is there to get that World Series ring, you go for it. This was the idea in stock piling all this young talent. I would like to see Reddick added now and the Cubbies should be done.
I would expect Richard to accept an optional assignment because based on how he's played this season, there is a decent chance that he won't find work elsewhere. Rather stay and potentially get a ring. Same goes for Coghlan since he's struggled mightily this year.
Edwards should not go down. He's pitched very well and Maddon is very impressed with him. I would expect Grimm to go down for Cahill so he can get back on track (he's pitched better in July, but he's not getting enough appearances).
chitownmvp01: Indeed Clayton Richard would seem to be odd man out once Chapman reports, but Richard might accept a minor league assignment if he is promised a return to Chicago on 9/1 when MLB Active List rosters expand (Richard has minor league ioptions left).
The only player in the deal that would cause me a second thought is Gleyber Torres.
McKinney and Crawford are decent prospects but both are redundant/replaceable in the system and Warren was really only a middle-reliever or #6 starter, so to me it's really just Torres for Chapman.
There is no Comp pick for players traded mid-season. 2+ months of Chapman is it.
to get one of the best you have to give up one/some of your best...but it's a bit painful to watch the system's best prospect walk for any 2-3 month rental, especially one that's not an everyday player.

It was great
the Hotel rooms need to be updated. Carpets and furniture are old and our room even had a hole in the carpet.
Quiet, peaceful stay. Room was very clean and hotel was clean. Many events at the hotel but they did not affect stay.
There was a constant buzzing all night from something and we listened to a baby crying all night. Other than that, it was a decent stay. Friendly staff and very helpful. My husband brought lunch back and the hotel staff brought a refrigerator up to the room for the leftovers, although it was a bit strange that they didn't already have the mini fridge in the rooms. Also, the light fixtures in the bathroom kept overloading the circuits and we had to keep resetting them.

Inside linebackers aren't routinely valued at a premium, given the proliferation of the passing game at the pro level, but Te'o is a special player with extraordinary skills. He is athletic enough to roam freely from sideline to sideline against the run or pass while also providing a stout presence within the box. Given his unique skills and versatility, Te'o could emerge as a blue-chip talent by season's end.
