BLUF: Number three starter upside with high certainty for back of the rotation projection.
The Player: Danny Hultzen (LHP, Seattle Mariners) – Selected number two overall in the 2011 draft. Made official professional debut in 2012 at Double-A. Has posted a spectacular 1.19 ERA in 13 starts for Jackson. Allowed just 38 hits in 75.1 innings with 32 walks and 79 strikeouts.
Basis of Report: Compilation – Personal Observation (Spring 2011), Industry Contacts
Scouting Report
Body (6-3, 200): Strong guy. Broad shoulders with tapered body to waste. Athletic. Well-built guy that carries his muscle well. Excellent pitcher's frame.
Delivery/Mechanics: Low-3/4 arm slot, plus-plus arm speed, slings the ball toward the plate, has natural deception, wide setup and deliberate movements through wind-up, repeats everything well, works down the mound, delivery reminds me a little of Andrew Miller, holds runners well with different looks, 1.29-1.44 to plate from stretch, relies heavily on SL/CH from stretch.
Fastball (FB) Velocity (Wind-up): High – 95, Low – 91, Average – 91-93, Grade – 50/50
Fastball (FB) Velocity (Stretch): High – 94, Low 90, Average 91-93, Grade – 50/50
Fastball (FB) Movement: Ball jumps at the batter at times. Good movement when down in the zone. Has ability to sink it and run it when he wants to. Good ability to manipulate ball. Overall plus movement with a variety of looks. Grade – 60/60
Overall Fastball: Intentionally light on the velocity grade. Truly solid-average to above-average velocity that plays up with movement and natural mechanical deception. Ball flattens out when up in the zone, losing angle to the plate. Grade – 60/60
Slider (SL): Arm angle works well for slider, consistent tight spin, can overthrow at times, good two-plan break with more sweep than downward bite, swing-and-miss pitch when it's on. Reliable second pitch that is true plus. Grade – 60/60
Change-up (CH): Shows feel and willingness to throw, often too firm with it, has some arm-side fade. Will sink occasionally. Still needs work and repetition to get added feel for pitch. Average potential but definite third pitch in arsenal. Grade – 40/50
Control: Generally throws strikes. Pounds the zone with FB and SL and shows ability to throw CH for strikes at any time. Mechanical consistency lends well to strike throwing. Should have plus-plus control at MLB peak. Grade – 60/70
Command: Locates FB well to both sides. Has improved ability to elevate. Has spurts of plus command to all four quadrants. Projects to maintain plus command long term. Clean delivery. Arm works well. Everything points to command of full arsenal. Grade – 50/60
Summation: Misleading prospect. Doesn't have classic ceiling of number two overall pick. Legit number three starter upside. Potential for three average or better pitches with two reaching plus status. Very confident on mound. Good presence. Good athlete. Controls running game well with varied looks and solid pickoff move. Can still improve fielding ability and movement off the mound but it should come with experience. Modest ceiling but high floor. Difficult to see him not becoming at least a solid back-of-the-rotation starter with number three ceiling.
Relative Risk: Low. Has already moved quickly to upper levels of minor leagues. Only standard injury risk remains.
Future: Could see MLB in 2012. Likely member of 2013 starting rotation and should settle into the middle of big league rotation very soon.

Essay - Four Learning Theories Introduction Behavioral Learning Theory Information Processing Theory...
Four Learning Theories
Behavioral Learning Theory
Information processing theory
Social cognitive *****
Constructivist learning theory
Postulate: Constructivist ***** applies best to teaching for the construction trades
This paper covers four learning theories and the descriptors which are associated with each. The paper will discuss behavioral learning theory (operant conditioning), in*****mation processing theory, social cognitive *****, and constructivist ***** theory. Each section will discuss the *****ory, identify its strengths and weaknesses, and give examples of how they are applied.
This author has chosen constructivist theory in a building tr*****des teaching environment. After a review ***** the ********** *****, the author will advance ***** case that constructivist learning ***** best fits the class and ***** author's personal teaching style.
***** Learning Theory
Behavioral ***** theory originated with the work of BF Skinner ***** Pavlov, who worked respectively with pigeons and dogs to demonstrate ***** theory of operant conditioning. The "stimulus-response" theory has proven helpful in everything from breaking bad habits (***** behavioral therapy) and phobias, to improving learning performance.
The theory advanced by Skinner is that one learns through changes in behavior. Behavior results due to learning from stimuli ***** occur in the *****. Skinner found ***** reinforcing responses to behavior can result in learning, and a change in response (Skinner, 1938).
An example of the application of ***** learning *****ory is the reduction in flight phobia—the client's fear of flying. The first element in behavioral ***** ***** to analyze the rational side of the phobia—i.e. why is it that the client fears flying? Is he/she concerned about the plane crashing? Is he/she stressed ***** the lack ***** control of the plane's fate? When faced ***** the ***** explanation ***** "planes don't crash," and "you are safer in a plane than in an automobile," the ***** realizes on a rati*****al basis that the fear ***** ***** is ungrounded in reason.
The next p*****e is operant conditioning. In many cases, this takes place in steps. A client may be asked to sit in an air***** (while on the ground) and have a pleasant discussion. This associates "pleasant" and "sitt*****g in an *****pl*****e," and teaches the ***** that his/her ***** is un*****ed. Once ***** anxiety has been averted in this step, the client may then be asked ***** take a short flight *****, during the flight, engage in a ***** activity (talking, playing cards, etc.). The stimulus of the flight is met by a ple*****sant *****. This 'operant *****' therefore demonstrates a new p*****radigm to the client.
The advantages ***** operant conditioning for learning ***** as follows:
*****. It is goal-oriented. That *****, the client is able to get ***** ***** heart of a problem very quickly, and to treat it in a focused manner.
2. It is rapid. Because it focuses on one delimited problem, the therap*****t can get to the issue with the client fairly quickly.
3. It can ***** performed with people who ***** not have good reading or verbal skills, such ***** children. That is because

Regional investment in electricity generation "recession-proof"
Committed expenditure for electricity projects throughout the Middle East has been unaffected by the current economic climate, as governments recognise that the expansion of generation capability, in line with rapidly expanding populations and manufacturing growth, are key to the continued development of the region.
"Leading global strategic management consultants A.T. Kearney recently estimated that the Middle East requires investment totalling more than US$500 billion in electricity infrastructure to facilitate economic growth in the coming years," said Sarah Woodbridge, Group Director - Exhibitions, IIR Middle East - organisers of the Middle East Electricity Exhibition (MEE), which takes place in February 2009. "They also raise the threat that lags in infrastructure planning can result in - increasing supply-demand imbalances, power outages and soaring electricity prices. Furthermore, they estimate that similar investments for potable water, waste water treatment and district cooling will also have to be considered."
The report also estimates that the additional generation capacity needed is potentially underestimated - while economic growth in the Middle East is expected to be in the region of 7%, the buildup of generation capacity is only 4% per annum. Countries are also running out of oil and need to secure their energy supply for the future, meaning that alternative sources of energy, particularly solar and nuclear power are also focus areas for significant investment.
Nuclear energy is another alternative power source that is now a serious option for countries across the region - the UAE's foreign minister and the US secretary of state recently signed a bilateral agreement for the cooperative development of civilian nuclear energy to help the Emirate meet its future electricity needs. Shaikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Condeleezza Rice signed the "123 agreement", which sets out a legal framework based on international standards of nuclear non-proliferation, safety and security.
Under the terms of the agreement, the UAE will gain access to significant capabilities and experience in the peaceful use of nuclear energy. This will allow the UAE to develop its civilian nuclear programme to the highest standards of safety, security and non-proliferation. The agreement will also give US firms the opportunity to become active participants in the UAE's nuclear energy programme.
The Jordan Atomic Energy Commission also recently signed an agreement with China to aid them in enriching and mining uranium, and Iran has tabled a proposal to develop nuclear power plants jointly with other Gulf states.
"The power industry as a whole is incredibly active on all fronts, with investment showing no sign of slowing - in fact, the trend is actually for increased spending," said Woodbridge. "This is evident from the fact that the 2009 MEE exhibition, which takes place from 8-10 February, is completely sold out and that we already have an all-time record number of pre-registrations from energy industry professionals and decision makers."
Middle East Electricity 2009 will feature major international representation, including country pavilions that feature the world's energy industry leaders - around forty French companies, including SAGEM, SOCOMEC, SDMO and the SICAME Group, covering a wide range of products and services including electricity generators, transport and distribution equipment, lighting systems and electrical modelling software.
Massey Ferguson will also be among the many international exhibitors at the show, displaying their Power Series generating sets, and unveiling, for the first time, their brand new Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) with programmable digital controller for mains failure applications plus an AGCO SISU POWER standby Diesel engine under the new AGCO SISU POWER branding.
"For us, MEE is our most significant exhibition for years, reflected by the fact that our stand will be manned by senior sales and technical staff from the factory," said Andrew Ridley, Sales Manager, Massey Ferguson Power Series. "MEE not only serves the important local markets of Dubai and the Emirates but is a magnet for buyers and distributors from across the entire region - our distributors from as far afield as Africa and the Indian sub-continent will be inviting their customers to attend."
German company Hedrich winding systems, a subsidiary of Hedrich vacuum systems, will present fully automated solutions for the manufacturing of windings for instrument transformers – this solution, compared to conventional winding methods, decreases processing time and increases process quality at the same time resulting in significant competitive advantages.
Middle East Electricity 2009 comes at a time of continued growth and activity for Prysmian in the region, where the Company is already carrying out and has completed several strategic power cable projects, particularly in UAE, Qatar and Bahrain. These include a 140 million euro project with Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation (KAHRAMAA) for the development of the first ever submarine cable turnkey project serving Doha and an 83 million euro contract for the construction of a high voltage underground cable system. These deals, and others in the pipeline, further confirm the strategic role Prysmian is playing in the Middle East as a major utilities partner for the current power transmission network expansion program.
The Prysmian product portfolio at MEE will include its wide range of Plant & Petrochem Cables - complex and integrated power, control and instrumentation systems for chemical, petrochemical, power or industrial plants. Prysmian will also present its HV & Submarine cable solutions and FP® range of fire resistant cables, designed and manufactured to meet the most demanding requirements and standards to ensure safety and safe operation under conditions of fire.
Also in the canle sector, Dow Wire & Cable will showcase advances in its portfolio of materials and technology solutions for medium, high and extra-high voltage power cables. The company will also host a technical seminar for customers on February 8, focusing on the value that proven cable material systems can deliver to utilities seeking to optimise the cost of power delivery while enhancing system reliability.
"Dow Wire & Cable is committed to the Middle East market place and has chosen to participate at Middle East Electricity because it is a critical platform for demonstrating technologies for the region's electrical power generation and distribution infrastructure," said Robert Tarimo, Market Manager for Dow Wire & Cable in Europe, India, the Middle East and Africa. "We will use the exhibition to showcase not only our enhanced wire and cable materials but also broader solutions that help ensure performance, quality and consistency from cable manufacturing through to end-use."
Middle East Electricity, rated by exhibitors and visitors as the most important event of its kind anywhere in the world, takes place from 8-10 February 2009 at Dubai International Exhibition Centre. The exhibition covers all aspects of the energy industry, with special focus areas including water, lighting, new and renewable and nuclear energy.
Leaders from every sector of the industry will use the exhibition to showcase their latest product and service innovations, bringing invaluable expertise to the region.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Stanley Kramer, producer and director of some of Hollywood's most celebrated ''message'' films including ''High Noon,'' ''The Defiant Ones'' and ''Judgment at Nuremberg,'' died Monday. He was 87 and had had been ill with pneumonia.
''He never thought he was a message filmmaker; just a man who believed very strongly in social conscience issues,'' said Karen Sharpe Kramer, the producer-director's wife of 35 years.
Kramer's films drew 80 Oscar nominations and 16 Oscars, including those for Gary Cooper (''High Noon''), Maximilian Schell (''Judgment at Nuremberg'') and Katharine Hepburn (''Guess Who's Coming to Dinner'').
As producer or producer-director, he was responsible for films dealing with race (''The Defiant Ones,'' ''Guess Who's Coming to Dinner''), Nazi war crimes (''Judgment at Nuremberg''), fundamentalism vs. modern science (''Inherit the Wind''), nuclear holocaust (''On the Beach'') and the counterculture (''The Wild Ones,'' ''RPM'').
While none of his films won the Oscar for best picture, six were nominated: ''High Noon,'' ''The Caine Mutiny,'' ''The Defiant Ones,'' ''Judgment at Nuremberg,'' ''Ship of Fools'' and ''Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.''
Kramer was nominated as best director three times, and in 1962 was presented with a special Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award for consistently high-quality work.
''Stanley Kramer is one of our great filmmakers, not just for the art and passion he put on-screen, but for the impact he has made on the conscience of the world,'' director Steven Spielberg once said.
Stanley Earl Kramer was born in New York City on Sept. 29, 1913, and grew up in Manhattan's tough Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, later attending New York University.
He broke into the movie business in the 1930s as a researcher, editor and writer before leaving for military service in World War II. His first film, ''So This is New York,'' was released in 1948.
''Champion,'' which came out a year later, made a star of Kirk Douglas, just as 1954's ''The Wild One'' launched Marlon Brando's career.
Kramer's final film, ''The Runner Stumbles,'' was released in 1979.
Besides his wife, Kramer is survived by daughters Katharine, Jennifer and Casey, and his son, Larry.

Sunday Game Thread: Cubs (5-11) v. Brewers (8-8)
The Brewers go for the series sweep, their 7th win in a row overall, and their 17th win in the last 22 meetings with the Cubs.
Is that depressing enough for you?
Cubs v. Wily Peralta (0-1, 6.19; pitched well but took an ND in 4/9 game at Wrigley which the Cubs eventually won against the Brewer bullpen): DeJesus 8, Castro 6, Rizzo 3, Soriano 7, Schierholtz 9, Castillo 2, Valbuena 5, Barney 4, Feldman 1.
Brewers v. Scott Feldman (0-2, 6.00; pitching for the first time since a loss to the Giants 10 days ago): Aoki 9, Segura 6, Braun 7, Weeks 4, Maldonado 2, Gonzalez 3, Gomez 8, Betancourt 5, Peralta 1.

So, are we back to having a
So, are we back to having a manager who semi-bashes the most talented and valuable young players on the team and makes empty threats about calling up the totally non-existent AAA reserves? Because I'm opposed to that.
Why isn't the answer to questions about Castro's defense always simply, "We're working together with him daily to help him perform as well as he possibly can in every area of the game. He's still a very young player, but we'll see more payoffs to his consistent hard work soon." ? Then if you want to yell at him and scare him because you think that will motivate him (I'm skeptical, but OK), do that in private in the manager's office when there are no reporters admitted.
It might be different if Baez were rocking AAA or AA and could realistically put pressure on Castro, though if all else were as it is now that would only mean that either Castro or Baez would be manning 3B soon.
Isn't that what they have
Isn't that what they have been doing for the past two years?
Can't say I am really surprised with the frustration, but I am sure Dale regrets the comments.
If the Cubs decide to move Castro to second, is this something that can be done during the season, or are they better off waiting?
It's a dumb comment by Sveum.
It's a dumb comment by Sveum. What did he expect when he signed on with the Cubs? Help these kids grow instead of bashing them in the face. They're gonna send down Rizzo? Is that the threat? How idiotic is that? The guy has bungled a few ground balls in April and is off to a slow start but still leads the team in RBI. I expect Sveum to just do his job and work with the youngsters. When he proves his managerial mettle he can go work on a club with established veterans who don't screw up as much.
This is a tough thing. The
This is a tough thing. The kid has been here full time since 2010. He's had 27, 29, and 27 errors in the last three years. Arguably THE most important position. MOST players show improvement. He does not. He's got 4 errors so far, as well as several mis-plays that were not scored errors. On a team where ANY mistake is too much. For $60MM.No doubt Castro will break the 30-error plateau this year. And - he has demonstrated, O & B, it doesn't matter what Month of the year it is. Stop with the excuses.
IMO, he is playing out of position. But, unfortunately, this will not get addressed this year.
OR - I also believe it is not an impossibility that Theo will trade him for "his" kind of players - including young pitching.
He can hit, which is great, but at his position you need more than that.
I really don't have an
I really don't have an objection to the frustration. I just think it's very unprofessional to call out any of your players in public. I see no reason to do that in any situation. All player and team issues should be addressed behind closed doors. As the manager, it's part of your job to keep up your professionalism every day even though the press is constantly hounding you (and everyone else) for something juicier.
I, too, would like to see Castro take more strides defensively. And I too wonder if he won't end up at 2nd base should another Cub prospect emerge as a better defensive shortstop, or should the Cubs have the opportunity to acquire a short stop in a favorable transaction. It's hardly pressing, though, considering the Cubs are going to suck big time either way. Without the carrot of the postseason, I don't see a reason do anything but keep working with him to see if he can improve. 23 is still young, even if he's going on his 4th year of MLB time.
The only reason I can think
The only reason I can think of is he would have better trade value if he could show the ability to play a defensive position at an acceptable major league level. Maybe that's second or third.
But your points are correct, Dale's comments were silly (and I am sure he regrets them) and there is no pressing need to move Castro now.
After reading your guy's
After reading your guy's posts again, it is an excellent point that we all want to be yelled at by our managers with the door closed in their offices.
I can't imagine, however, my current manager trying to manage multi-millionaires that have made the same mistakes on the job, relentlessly, for 3+ years.
It is a unique position and I get that Sveum is deserving more. Maybe he should just do this out of the press.
I'd say if we're going to
I'd say if we're going to look at it from that point, they were hasty in giving such a large contract so soon to a guy who still is a bit shaky out there. The mistakes Castro makes are often just dumb things that suggest a lack of concentration. That is where Sveum comes in. He should be making him take grounders till his hands hurt every day, not bashing him in the press, and honestly, maybe having him looked at for ADHD or even a 420 issue, or something, since the problem really seems to have something to do with him being a bit of a spacey dude, as we called them when I was young.
It's not just Castro, Rizzo was also the target of Sveum's whining, and it's just a dumb way to go. Sveum got hired to manage a young team. He needs to suck it up and manage them, and not go to the press with his complaints about their flaws.
Is "having potential" all it
Is "having potential" all it takes to play in the big leagues?
For the Chicago Cubs, apparently that's all it takes. This isn't little league, it's the big leagues. Players are expected to already know how to catch and throw the ball and do it reliably. Batting average.. meh, he can go hit a 400 average in Iowa for all I care. The thing about baseball is you have to catch and throw the ball.
Normally, I'm not terribly concerned about a manager riding a player, even publicly (if riding him privately doesn't work), but for the Cubs, it's different. Sveum must realize how quickly and how dramatically the fans can turn on a player like Castro because of poor play and he'll have to balance that along with all the other stuff he deals with.
One other problem I have with the comment is this- of all the things to complain about, shitty pitching, shitty bullpen, shitty everything, why single out Castro? Yes, Castro is a shitty defender, but let's not single him out. It's a shit storm.
Appel or Gray?
Appel or Gray?
Gray. But I'll take Appel if
Gray. But I'll take Appel if Houston takes Gray.
The other thing I am dismayed
The other thing I am dismayed about is this "Cubs Way" bullshit.
The EXACT negative things that move the team in the correct direction are still occurring at the same frequency as they have been.Fielding, OBP, RISP failures.
One thing that just burns me where the win margin is microscopic for the Cubs, is the Cubs' pitcher just being able to field their position or do "usual things" to save them from needless arm-wear and losses. Feldman is a case in point for TWO of his three starts! Just wait 'til Garza comes back. Even Samarj. fucked up so far. I mean for fuck's sake - they have been involved with baseball since grade school. And they are learning the Cubs'Way....Oh wait...
I don't know how the minor
I don't know how the minor league players have looked from a fundamentals angle, but that is where you will probably start seeing some improvement with this whole Cubs Way thing. If I remember right, AZ Phil was reporting on some impressive walk numbers among the lower level guys. So if that is continuing, and the error rates are down, and the general play on the field at the lower levels is high, then things may improve. Right now, the major league play is crap, and, sorry to say, that reflects directly on Sveum, whether he likes it or not. I obviously don't know a damn thing about managing a team, so I don't know where it happens when I see a team play good fundamental baseball, but I do see it, almost every time I see another team not named the Cubs play. Does it happen because of good spring training routines? Or is it part of the daily routine every day before a game? I have no idea. Whatever it is, Sveum has not accomplished his task of getting a team out there with solid fundamentals, at least not yet. It's early, but so far, this is a very bad baseball team. Sveum himself said it was very important that they start the year off well. Whoops. What's plan B?
When a team is at the top of the charts two years in a row for errors, this is a problem with the manager. Although, to be fair, it's obviously really early in the year. These guys have all played the game long enough that their skill level at fielding their positions should all be about the same, aside from the standouts. I look at a guy like Rizzo and think to myself that he looks like a natural out there sometimes, and then he just nearly does a somersault as he bounds about making a bone head play. It's baffling.
Hell, E-Man, Garza alone is going to double the Cubs's errors. So it's not looking to get any better anytime soon.
The Cubs way, I believe, is
The Cubs way, I believe, is about how the organization is planning to develop their farm system. What some are forgetting is that Castro was already in the big leagues when Theo took over. I don't think it was ever really an option to send him back down. That said, I don't think Theo would have promoted Castro when Hendry did. He likely would have spent more time in the minors refining his approach and defense. He's been rewarded for doing what the previous regime wanted, and that's hitting the ball without regard for a specific approach or stellar defense. Maybe he wouldn't have come out any different under Theo's direction, but I think it's a mistake to blame the problems of the current Cubs on the failure of the Cub Way
I agree with that pretty much
I agree with that pretty much but Theo did give Castro the mega contract. I think a lot of people agreed with his doing it. I know I did - seemed smart to wrap him up ASAP, given his age and early numbers. I still think he's really not at his ceiling yet, and one of the reasons the club hasn't made a lot of noise about moving him from short is that he has made some pretty amazing plays from deep in the hole. My biggest complaint about all this is Sveum and his public badgering of players. I've managed a lot of people and I would never consider going Glengarry Glen Ross all over them in a meeting if they have some kind of performance issues. Doors have hinges on them for a reason.
$42M over 6 years for a young
$42M over 6 years for a young player's age 23-28 seasons? Even with the player-friendly team option for age 29, it's not a "mega contract" ... it's a hell of a good bargain. All that contract says about Castro is that the Cubs think he's a solid MLB player (doesn't take a genius to figure that one out).

You stop bringing logic into this. Next you're gonna tell us that Theo was very explicit that the Cubs were going to work from the bottom up, teaching all the young kids the Cubs way and then spending money on FAs. And that he never promised we were going to compete these first years.
I tell you what, a GM telling us his plan and then actually working on it. What is this world coming too.

AL pitcher hits a home run for a 1-0 lead. There goes perspective
Here are the ERAs for the last five starting pitchers:
At what point does the manager note it's not the "other pitcher"?
And why does he start Montero in the middle of a downturn?
Some perspective (mostly for my own benefit): Dan Straily beat MadBum 2-1 today as the Reds took 2 of 3 in SF. Giants are 2-9 since the break and their lead over LA is down to 2.5 games. So, yeah...baseball. It'll drive ya nuts.
McNutt / Archer didn't work out well for us.
The floor is more valuable than the ceiling. It's the same reason we drafted Kris Bryant instead of Jon Gray.
Apparently the Yankees had the choice of either Gleyber Torres or Eloy Jimenez in the Chapman deal, and they chose Torres.
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.

Talk about a box!!! We was robbed for the price we paid for the smallest room we had ever stayed in. Wow its a good thing there was just the two of us. One of us had to sit on the bed or in a chair in order to move around the room. Unreal!!! This was in Bentonville Arkansaw. Never again!!!ReplyDelete
My daughter and I stayed at the motel 6 in Worthington Ohio for a convention and got totally ripped off. First off the lost our reservation, secondly when we were told that we had to check out at 12 noon no matter what time we got there. I reserved a room for 2 nights and these dummies lost it. I was livid. I will never stay at a motel 6 again no matter if all the other hotels are booked.ReplyDelete
My family and I were traveling back home from Houston and stopped at the Motel 6 in Arkadelphia. It was late at night, We checked in and went to the room my son pulled back the bed covers and it looked like someone had diarrah in the bed.It was very upsetting. We were offered another room but we did not stay. The motels don't have to be fancy but should be clean.......ReplyDelete
My family and I was first given a room where the heat didn't work(one of the coldest nights of the year). Gave us another room whre the heat worked a little better but the cold water didn't work.. When we told the manger, he said all we had to do was crawl underneath the sink and turn it on. My husband was cold all night. He had to place our coats over the bed covers. This was so sad.

1-23-14. Motel 6 in Benson, Arizona has a very rude, abusive, and hostile counter clerk by the name of "John" who works the afternoon shift. I asked three special-needs disability questions: A.) Do you have any ground-floor rooms available? (because I have mobility disabilities and I walk with a walker/cane,) B.) Do you have any low-noise rooms? (because I suffer hyperacusis - a very noise-sensitive hearing disability); and C.) Do you have any rooms close to my truck? (so I do not have to carry my belongings very far since I suffer chronic fatigue and chronic pain.) This Motel 6 clerk got highly agitated and told me, "I am refusing you service. Get out now before I call the cops." I asked politely for the supervisor but the clerk actually called 911 and the cops showed up to harass me. I was forced to sleep in the bed of my truck in the freezing cold. This is blatant disability discrimination and an ADA violation and I am STILL filing Americans With Disabilities (ADA) complaints against Motel 6. I am highly offended and really ticked-off!!

Motel 6 Richfield Utah.. NEVER again! Ever!! Fire/Smoke alarm went off at about 2:00 AM (had 2 rooms rented, children in both rooms with us) I called the front desk no one answered the phone, after I let it ring for more than 10 minutes. I got dressed went up to the lobby and rang the buzzer at the desk for over 45 minutes before a man with PJ pants on came to the desk I told him that the alarm was going off. He then told me that maintenance would be there at 6:00 AM to fix it. I angrily told him no way there were now 3 rooms with children and adults wide awake because of the alarm. He was visibly upset that I was demanding it be taken care of right now.The man then came around the desk and stomped down to the room (barefoot) went into the room climbed up on the table, reached to the alarm on the roof and pulled it down. He then in his Indian accent said "I FIX FOR YOU" and stomped out of the room. As for the cleanliness of the rooms... DISGUSTING! We through all blankets on the floor and slept in our blankets from the cars. Hence.... We will never book a room at Motel 6 ANYWHERE again!ReplyDelete
I will never stay at the Motel 6 in Lompoc again. It was hot, I had just gotten there from a 9 hour drive, air conditioning wasn't working, it was 6 pm and my room STILL wasn't ready. When I asked to be refunded some of my money becuase i had requested a non-smoking room and got put in a smoking room WITH WET WRINKLED SHEETS, manager started stuttering , and told me I should just open a window. She had a horrible attitude, so unprofessional. Next time I will pay the extra 50 or so dollars at the Holiday Inn to get better customer service!ReplyDelete

Your name is being destroyed by many of your locations. You seriously need to send someone out to review all your locations yearly and have them take care of things or take your name off the sign. After recent stays are your motels in Winslow, AZ and Moriarity, NM I'm done with Motel 6 forever. I have never stayed in shabbier, dirtier places. These are both so run down, need repairs, updating and just cleaning. Don't leave the light on...in fact...shut it off. These folks are ruining your name.ReplyDelete
You need undercover boss. The Anaheim Maingate location is wonderfully staffed, but needs revamping, burn holes in blankets, linens, etc. The prices, probably because of the area can be a little steep. It may have noted remolded location but some things are very old, seriously needs maintenance. The staff again is wonderful and does their best to accommodate!ReplyDelete
My children and I stayed at a Motel 6 in Willoughby, Ohio. It clearly said on a card in the room "We will remake your bed daily and change your linens every third day". We stayed there 4 days. The beds were never made. The garbage was never emptied. The linens were never changed. The dirty towels were never removed and I had to ask for new towels every day. I complained every day and nothing changed. When I asked about the card in my room that said the above they said it was their fault...THEY DIDN'T DO THAT ANY MORE AND THE CARD SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED. When I complained to the corporate office their response, in part, was: "Motel6 does not provided daily housekeeping to guests who are staying for an extended amount of time". Besides the lack of spellchecking in their e-mail, basically they don't provide housekeeping to ANY guest because, if you check out after one night they are required by health codes to change the linens before the next guest arrives. Over 4 nights I got 4 different stories from 4 different people about the lack of housekeeping. It was pathetic. There is low cost and there is "a dive". You can guess where this one falls. I should have asked what their hourly rates were. Maybe their housekeeping staff was busy servicing rooms rented by the hour!
Motel 6 Complaint This stay was at 2360 Delk RD SE, Marietta,Ga June 4-7th. It was probably one of the worst stays in my life (I am 70) and I have stayed at many motel 6's over the last 50 years. It started at check-in it took us 25 minutes and we had a reservation. There was only 1 person at the front desk and there was a line of people waiting to check-in (none of which had reservations). Our room when we finally got it was on the 5th floor and THE ELEVATOR WAS BROKEN (the whole 4 days we were there). When we asked for a room on the first floor they said there was nothing available any lower than the 5th. (we checked in on Thursday night). We exhibited at the knife show and had to haul all our product up & down the steps every day because... the first night we were there a motel clients car was broken into. The room was filthy- dirt was caked in the corners of the tile floor, not sure anyone ever dusted under the beds, bath tub dirty, etc. plus it looked like it had been thru a gang war and they just came in and painted over the damage. The toilet tissue holder was broken and 2 rolls of paper were sitting on the floor under it (really sanitary). When they came in to clean the room THEY DIDN'T all they did was make the beds- there were empty water bottles sitting on the dresser which they never touched, plus the trash cans were never emptied our entire stay. The noise at night was incredible! We called several times about a car horn that honked most of the night Friday, it continued all night long, pair that with the noise from the room next to us and sleep was impossible. We complained at the front desk several times and filled out the form rating the hotel -which was obviously BAD. When we returned that evening our room keys no longer worked we went to the front desk and spent another 20 minutes waiting to get them to work again. They gave us an excuse about the cell phone deactivating them. My phone & key card were in different pockets, the key card inside my wallet. I do not believe it had anything to do with my cell phone just the bad review we gave them on the card earlier that day. It was really nice that they provided coffee in the lobby but no condiments, when I asked for sugar & cream they said just wait a minute and someone would get those for you-15 minutes later I left the cold black cup of coffee on the counter because we had to go. We tried to find another hotel/motel but they were all full because of the knife show. If we could have we would have left after the first night. This motel was NOT WHAT we expected it was a HORRIBLE experience I will Never stay at a MOTEL 6 again. When we should have been at our best we were at our worst because of the SLEEP DEPRIVATION. My shoulder pain was aggravated from the toting & hauling and the 3 nights spent on the "Rack" mattress , my health or my ability to interact positively with my customers or fellow exhibitors was badly damaged.
I would like those 4 days back with sleep... We all know that can't happen so I would like my $196.05 REFUNDED for the sheer agony we were forced to endure. I sent this email to customer relations waiting to find out what they will do. David
We have stayed at Motel 6 several times until 07/03/2015 when we were checking in Motel 6 1445 N Bayshore Dr, Coos Bay, OR 97420.
I made our reservation online few weeks before our arrival date for non smoking and when they said they don't have a room for me.
The lady at the front desk said they have one smoking room left and I tried to explained her that I made my reservation few weeks before arrival online for non-smoking so how can you tell me it is not reserve? We are very very upset as RESERVED online is NOT RESERVE for Motel 6. We are out of town on our anniversary but due to the holiday, all hotels are booked and WE HAD NO PLACE TO STAY BECAUSE MOTEL 6 DID NOT RESERVE A ROOM THAT WE RESERVED 3 WEEKS BEFORE.
Lady at the front desk name LINDA didn't even care, very rude, unprofessional, and didn't even want to cancel our reservation when I requested it.
Shame on you Motel 6 for ruining our trip, anniversary, and living us without a place to stay. We have stayed at many hotels all over the world and we have NEVER had this issue ever especially by making reservations ahead of time. This is absolutely very POOR BUSINESS and I WILL NEVER STAY AT ANY MOTEL 6 EVER AGAIN.
On Saturday the 11th of July. I checked into this hotel. I walked to in the room and immediately thought WOW the condition on the comforters were unreal. Stains in both...cigarette holes on the comforters. ...this of course made me pull up the comforters to see the covers...bed#1: blood stains,small black stains and black crumbs everywhere. ..more cigarette burns and bed#1 topped off with a wad of nasty purple gum stuck on the cover. At this point Im absolutely overwhelmed. I then went to the bathroom ..the tub was/is horrific..filthy and has black ink stains in it. I then went to the office as i walked outside the room there before the room was a jar of peanut butter and jelly ,which sat for 3 days before the grounds crew cleaned it up. The office did the right thing and offered us a different room. We went to see the room. Same condition: filthy sheets with blood stains on the covers as well. We rejected the room. Half the stay was given back...however that does NOT compensate for this stay. Throughout the night the parking lot was unreal..individuals asking us if we wanted to buy marijuana...this was the icing on the cake. I felt offended and extremely unsafe at this location. I s/w one of your staff members and hes comment to me was "im surprised you all are staying here, this is a hotel for drug trafficking and sex." He also informed us that before we leave people may be knocking on the door. I asked him why would people be at our door. He said "looking for sex". I was absolutely terrified and appalled at the concept of this. This is just my experience in the room space. This doesnt included the gabage area near my room with garbage overflowing onto the ground. Old nasty mattresses...and filthy nasty birds everwhere eating the filth in the parking lot. I understand that this is no one individuals fault however this location needs help and needs it desperately. (Please note that all conditions mentioned in this statement have been documented with photos and videos).
On July 23, 2015, my husband & I stayed at Motel 6 in Columbus Ohio, @ exit 117 off I70. I recently had a total knee replacement, plus had just the day before sprained the ankle on same leg as knee replacement. therefore making walking hard. When My husband requested a non smoking room where there had been NO pets they ASSURED him this room was EXACTLY that. Upon opening the door the smell of dog poop & urine nearly knocked us down,. we called the desk, they said they would give us a different room. so we were brought a key to a room at the OTHER end of the hallway, this key would not unlock the door, & the clerks master key didn't work either; At this point I wanted to go across the street to a different Motel, but hubby was talked into TRYING room #3.. so off we go again, BACK down the hall on a bad ankle with a knee that had just a a total knee replaced 8 weeks earlier. Now at room #3, the a/c doesn't work nor does the tv. sooo another call to the desk, finally they sent someone up & he said" yep they don't work" and left. AGAIN I call the desk, they put us in room #4.. smelled clean, beds were clean ac worked as did the tv.. then to our horror, when raising the toilet seat there was mold/mildew in the bowl . & in the tub.. I didn't use the bathroom at all, we went down to 1st floor to use lobby bathroom. upon checkout they asked for room #, I angrily told them #416,402,422,& 414. They half assed listened when I told them what had happened, not even an I'm sorry or how can we make this right? I have stayed at many Motel 6's but will NEVER stay in one again!!!ReplyDelete
Motel 6, McDonough, Ga has a lot to learn about guest satisfaction that's for sure!!!! The guest is always right, not just when its convenient for the desk help.

Motel 6 Market Center, Dallas, Tx, is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! I will NEVER recommend this hotel chain to anyone!! I reserved a King size bed for my husband, who is 6'2" and myself, and got to the room and find out it's 2 DOUBLE beds. We could make that work but it's hard. The SUPPOSEDLY clean towels were in the floor, the toilet wasn't working and got to looking at it and the chain wasn't hooked up to the leve. My husband being the guy he is, hooked it up and flushed it and it TRIED to over flow, so we turned the water off to it. I went to call the front desk and the phone didn't work. There was no knob on the closet, and there stains all over the comforter. I went to the desk and all they did was move us down a couple rooms to anothe room that smelled of smoke BAD!!!! The walls were so thin, I could hear someone knocking on the door at 2am. There is also a strip bar across the street. We didn't get any kind words from the staff when they changed our room except we are sorry. It's also in a BAD neighborhood.ReplyDelete

I don't knw who did your decor, but it must of been a prisoner. The beds are hard as rock, cockroaches were everywhere. We couldn't even unpack our clothes afraid of of bring them home. We are an upscale people. The walls looked like prison walls with no carpet on floors. No pictures, no in-room coffee makers, one towel person. The people at the front desk were very, very RUDE.

Motel 6 in Great Falls Montana should do background checks of their employees. Don't think having a check forger and credit card thief on the front desk is the smart thing. Least I know where not to stay in townReplyDelete

I would strongly advise the corporate offices of Motel 6 to review its policy of handling guests who are seeking safe refuge as domestic violence victims. A woman I know finally broke free from her abuser (after he had been arrested), drove 100 miles away to stay in your Motel 6 in Fredericksburg, VA on Warrenton Road. The manager, going by the name of "Neel" insisted that this woman pay daily and when she requested that she be given one day as she awaits her social security deposit, he refused and said that he could no longer extend her stay! When the woman guest pressed him for a reasonable reason, he said he looked inside her room while she was away to find it unkept. Please keep in mind that this motel is newly remodeled with hardwood floors and has a dog park. Housekeeping comes daily, the woman is a diabetic and has very limited physically mobility necessitating the use of a walker to move about. He has been insensitive and unyielding even while being fully apprised of her need for safe refuge as she recovers a bit, gets some medical attention and finds a an appropriate place to rent. I find this a shameful example of courtesy, customer service, treating humans (especially guests) with dignity and respect.ReplyDelete
My daughter got a job as a housekeeper for Motel 6 in Beaver, UT. I helped her one day cleaning. It was the worst day of my life. She was expected to clean 9 rooms alone and being 16 it is not an easy job. There was no acceptable cleaning solutions or equipment. The toilet brush looked to be 10 yrs old, the vacuum did not work, the there was no mop, the broom was filthy. There were ants in several rooms. The pillows were flat as the sheet and some with holes. She was told to put two pillows in one pillowcase. The sheets were very see through and the blankets smelled bad. I would not give them to a homeless person. The mattresses were very old and the sparse other furnishings in disrepair. The front lobby is shabby and smells bad as well. The managers are East Indian and seem nice if you could communicate at all with them (which you can't) but were no help. It is a pet friendly motel and pet hair is everywhere, yuck. I don't know who is in charge, but an inspection is very needed. This is by far the most disgusting place I have ever set foot in and an embarrassment for my good town. The whole building should be condemned.ReplyDelete

I checked into a Motel 6 in Vacaville,Calif by the freeway and they refused to rent the room to US, we have stayed there before and this was no different. Isn't it against the the Law to discriminate? The maids didn't speak English, Rude Front Desk clerk and Managers. I've worked at Motels in Tahoe and NEVER turned anybody down. We aren't druggies, we are both on Disability and needed a downstairs room. I will let people know about this Motel on tweeter and Facebook since I am a Vet and tell all my friends NOT TO STAY THERE>!!!!ReplyDelete

Audi has been stylishly revamping its lineup for the past few years. The A5 coupe is a study in elegant coupe design. The A8 sedan is a menacing limo if there ever was one. And now we get the all-new A6, completely redesigned to look pretty sedate. Yes, it has the evil-eye headlamps and Darth Vader grille of the A8, but nothing else about the design is alluring. Even the sleeper-ish new BMW 5 Series makes more of a statement.
Inside is a different story. The A6 looks as high-class as its A7 and A8 big brothers, with lots of available wood trim, an 8-inch monitor and the now-trademark motorboat shifter.
Globally there will be five choices of engines, including diesels and a small-output V-6. In the U.S., we'll likely only see the most powerful supercharged V-6 that is in the current A6.

What is it? The Army Career Intern/Fellows Program serves as the bench for the officer component of the civilian workforce. Like second lieutenants, Army's interns/fellows form an elite pool of trainees who represent the feeder group for future senior level professional, managerial, and executive civilian positions. These employees are provided progressive and sequential formal classroom and on-the-job developmental assignments that prepare them for placement in one or more of Army's 23 civilian professional programs. The end result of these highly structured programs are Army Civilian Corps members with the requisite skills, abilities and leadership competencies required to immediately fill critical voids in the Civilian Corps upon graduation. All interns/fellows sign a mobility agreement and their final placements are based on the priority needs of the Army.
What has the Army Done? Army has extensively analyzed workforce trends and has clearly defined replenishment requirements, the Army adjusted the program to increase work year which resulted in an execution from 846 in Fiscal Year (FY) 2003 to an average of 1430 in FY 2004 through 2006.
What continued efforts does Army have for the future? Forecasts have identified the need to replace approximately 4,000 skilled professional employees on an annual basis. The Intern/Fellows Program is by far the best vehicle we have for replacing these losses. It produces employees who are ready to step in and support our warfighters as they defend our national security interests. Army is now focused on gradually increasing the program to bring it closer to required levels. This approach will allow us to stabilize the program while slowly increasing the number of interns and fellows we place into key positions each year. Army remains strongly committed to the Intern/Fellows Program. It supports the Global War on Terror and produces civilian pentatheletes while serving as a building block for transformation.
Why is this important to the Army? The Army Civilian Corps is a critical part of the institution. Its members ensure that we have the best equipped, trained and ready warfighters in the world. Civilians are deploying alongside our warfighters in greater numbers every year and will continue to do so in the future. In addition to accompanying our warfighters to the field Army civilians support them and their families in all aspects of their life. They gather intelligence; design, purchase, maintain and transport weapons and supplies; and provide housing, jobs, and recreational activities for soldiers and their families worldwide. Interns and Fellows provide the contemporary skills and practical experience needed to infuse the Civilian Corps with the agility required to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing environment. They are a key to assuring that the mission and our warfighters receive the highest level of support possible.

Poor Americans have existed from the time of the earliest British colonial settlement. They were alternately known as "waste people," "offals," "rubbish," "lazy lubbers," and "crackers." By the 1850s, the downtrodden included so-called "clay eaters" and "sandhillers," known for prematurely aged children distinguished by their yellowish skin, ragged clothing, and listless minds. Surveying political rhetoric and policy, popular literature and scientific theories over 400 years, in White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America, Nancy Isenberg upends assumptions about America's supposedly class-free society––where liberty and hard work were meant to ensure real social mobility. Poor whites were central to the rise of the Republican Party in the early nineteenth century, and the Civil War itself was fought over class issues nearly as much as it was fought over slavery. "A riveting thesis supported by staggering research," our reviewer writes in a starred review. View video >

Skip to comments.Sarah Palin's Vague Debt Threat
Posted on 07/28/2011 11:37:18 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
This afternoon Sarah Palin issued a vague threat to freshman Republicans just ahead of the House vote on a bill to reduce the deficit and raise the debt ceiling. Does Palin want Republicans to vote it down? She wouldn't say precisely. On her Facebook page, Palin cited quotations from a 2010 letter she issued to Republicans reminding them that they "campaigned on a promise to rein in out-of-control government spending... promises that you must keep." She punctuated her reminder with an ominous post script: "P.S. Everyone I talk to still believes in contested primaries."
So does that mean she's threatening to run hard-right candidates against Republicans who vote for the bill supported by House Speaker Boehner in the next election? A number of conservative Republicans were upset that the GOP's Cut Cap and Balance bill was abandoned. But those left puzzling over her Facebook postings were just as confused as we are.
Sheila Marikar at ABC News writes:
"That could be a threat -- suggesting that she wont support members of Congress who vote to raise the debt ceiling or a reference to her 2012 aspirations."
CNN's political unit:
"Palin, who is considering a bid for the White House in 2012, has said raising the debt ceiling is inevitable, but that Republicans "better get something out of it." She has also been a proponent of the "Cut, Cap, and Balance" pledge passed through the Republican-controlled House and failed in the Senate."
But Jim Geraghty at National Review has it all figured out:
"If she were any clearer, they would have woken up with horses heads in their beds this morning."
For Geraghty, it's clear she's asking them to vote against the Boehner bill. Giving Boehner a little support, he justifies the speaker's position.
Of course, in the eyes of John Boehner and his allies, his plan is the best remaining option to stick to the principles that propelled their campaigns, rein in out-of-control government spending, and so on. And its not like Boehners plan is generating much pats on the back from the Left in the media.
They should be.
Mrs. Palin tells it like it is and has a really, large and powerful megaphone.
Doesn't "Madame President" or "Mrs. President" have a nice ring to it ?
Maybe you didn't unerstand my pont Yes, The House says what can and can't be spent. But with that, no matter what they pass, they are NOT in control. Real control will not happen UNTIL WE control both houses and the presidency. THAT was my point. The government could shut now and chaos would reign but at what price? Riots in the streets? An opportunity for obama to order martial law? THEN what?
You seem tto think that the democrats would not absolutely welcome such a scenario. They are already planning for it.
There is evil going on in DC and we have to figure out HOW to stop it.
At this point, I honestly believe in my heart, and I have some pretty good company, that if we do NOT find at least a short term solution to this, a stall tactic to appease a CRAZY and vindictive obama until the next election, we will not HAVE another election.
No real solution is possible unless we win in 2012. But we have to get there. The damage the dems could do with the help of the thug unions and obama's black constituency between now and then is too terrible to contemplate. And don't think for one second that he would not rile them up because he would and it would be bloody. He doesn't care what happens to this country. He doesn't care about them, or you, or me.
These are not normal times. We have a full blown enemy in the White House.
He spells it Boehner and pronounces it "bay-ner". I spell it boner and pronounce it "bay-ner"
I guess you missed my last correction to you? She said she is not for the debt limit being raised, but that she believes they will raise it anyway! With that as the drop back, she says CCB is the best there is :)
Here is a lady (brilliant, savy, conservative, and moral) heavily influencing an entire party - as a completely unannounced candidate - from her Facebook page.
Not only that, but she has both sides of the isle, most of the msm (both right and left) wondering, reporting, and generally guessing about who, what, where, when, how, etc.!
What an incredible person she is!!
No more borrowing. We've borrowed beyond what this generation can repay, and spending posterity's money is immoral. It robs them of their God-given, unalienable right to government by consent.
Cut every program and agency that isn't explicitly allowed by the Enumerated Powers.
The budget will balance.
Keep the oath of office and fulfill the crowning stated purpose of the Constitution: Secure the Blessings of Liberty to Posterity.
Obama, under a suddenly balanced budget, will have some extremely hard choices to make. Given his track record, I think he will fail badly. He will be faced with the choice of funding the likes of ACORN, Planned Parenthood, & bogus green energy projects vs sending SS checks to seniors & unemployment checks to the jobless.
At current spending rates & debt ceiling increases - they are sure to rise - Boehner's plan would cut $1T+ while the total debt increases $20T to $35T in 10 years. It wont take 10 years though as we will be in REAL, unavoidable default before then. I figure we wont get thru Obama's second term w/o default. This is when martial law will be declared.
What I want to see is real, substantial, spending cuts that occur before any increase in the debt ceiling. I have ZERO respect for 10 year cuts, which are easily ignored in future budgets. I have ZERO respect for a Balanced Budget Amendment at this point. It is a fairytale to believe it would pass & be ratified in time to save this country.
Obamacare could easily be repealed & vastly improve the budget outlook, AND be welcome relief to employers & the job market. The less than useless Dept. of Education could be closed.
Finally, I ask: Why do you think Rats are so opposed to ANY spending cuts at all? Why are they determined to raise the debt ceiling w/o ANY cuts or limits?
My answer: Rats & RINOs desperately need this money to finance their (Obama's) reelection & to maintain their hold on power. Any gutting of the Federal gov't will fall overwhelmingly on Obama's rank & file support. For gov't workers, unions, contractors, & partisan NGOs, the money will stop flowing. This means that far less money will flow back into Obama's & the Rat's campaigns & the leaches will have little incentive to support Obama. Without that money they cannot buy the election.
I see a lot of Freepers assume the Pubs will make substantial gains in the Senate & House in 2012. But if Obama & Co. buy the election, it is likely the Rats will retain the Senate & may make gains in the House. That puts us in exactly the same position in Jan. 2013 as now, only $2.7T deeper in debt, & has no pending election to limit his insanity.
"But with respect to future debt; would it not be wise and just for that nation to declare in the constitution they are forming that neither the legislature, nor the nation itself can validly contract more debt, than they may pay within their own age, or within the term of 19 years."
--Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, 1789
Whatever, its a free country, maybe.
They will take to the streets. That is practically a given. I just hope we are ready for it because I agree with you. The winning at any cost has to end. Oversized government has got to end. I suppose if there MUST be a showdown, it might as well be now before our childen have to fight this fght years from now. Just do it and get it over with.
I believe Palin spent one day back in March 2010, in Arizona, making a campaign appearance, making a radio commercial and doing a TV interview.
If you have any further evidence of support since then, please document it.
This made me laugh out loud.
No, CCB would raise the ceiling 1.1 trillion.
Broun Votes Against Cut, Cap, and Balance Bill; Urges More Immediate Action
Washington, Jul 19 -
Congressman Paul Broun, M.D. (GA-10) today released the following statement after voting against the Republican Cut, Cap, and Balance bill:
I gave my word to my constituents in Georgia and to the rest of the American people that I would not vote for any bill that increases the debt limit. Although the Cut, Cap, and Balance bill is a step in the right direction, it still raises the debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion, and we simply cannot afford it.
Also missing from the Cut, Cap, and Balance bill is the urgency to pay down the debt by immediately reducing the outrageous spending levels to which Washington has become so accustomed. Unfortunately, the cuts outlined in Cut, Cap, and Balance take effect over a period of ten years. We no longer have ten years to spare its too little, too late.
Undoubtedly, we have to cap spending and we must enact a balanced budget amendment, but Congress can get these tasks done without raising the debt ceiling. I have introduced bills to both lower the debt ceiling and to balance the budget.
Weve been down this road before. Administrations of the past have agreed to raise the debt ceiling on a contingency that cuts would be made in future budgets but those cuts never materialized. Its long past time to stop obligating our constitutional duties along with our budgetary problems to both future Congresses and future generations.
I wish Sarah would come out for freezing all spending at current levels and completely eliminating some programs.
The term "cutting" means different thing to congress than it does to you and me. In congress it means increasing spending by a lower percentage in the future. We need reduced spending now.
Governor Palin folded her cards along with most all of the so-called "conservative" Republicans and supported the "Cut, Cap and Balance" bill, which would have raised the debt ceiling by $2.4 TRILLION dollars, the exact amount Obama has been after all along.
She doesn't even advocate ending the Dept. of Education, much less anything else.
What we need at this point is for Palin to take up Ron Paul's solution to the immediate "crisis," which is simply for the fed to forfeit its imaginary bond debt of approx $1.7 trillion.
This will work.
>> "Some info please. If a Balanced Budget Amendment ever goes through, whereby (spending = revenues), do you ever need to borrow money again?" <<
No, there will be automatic tax increases each year, in whatever amount it takes to balance the budget.
That is why I know that eventually there will be a BB amendment, so that they can raise taxes automatically.
Shhhh! Don't confuse them with facts!
Stay alert, prepare and fight for freedom in any way you can. These are the times they will write about hundreds of years from now. Are we ready for the fight?
Your PDS will just have to simmer a while longer while Gov Palin slowly unveils her strategy...and the Dept of Ed is no doubt on her hit list.
LOL...yeah right.
Laugh all you want. The last one will be on you.
"The principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."
--Thomas Jefferson
Just as you did here?! LOL
Since you issued a challenge I decided to just do a cursory look at a Google search and look what turned up on the very first look. Take your pick of a number of separate articles on how much Palin has supported McCain.
Just as you did here?! LOL
Your response is nonsense.
As I pointed out to you it seems to have stopped in March of 2010.
A cursory look using your google search shows that to be the case.
Oh, and yours wasn't? LOL
At least I showed that you had no clue as to what you said was true but rather just fantasy, that she only supported him one time. I guess we all know what that makes you now. What about her moving into his neighborhood to be only a few blocks (some here say only 2 blocks) away from his primary residence. Just mere coincidence, eh?! I think all of this is irrelavant as I do not believe she is going to announce and run anyway. She is much better off being a Kingmaker of sorts and have more clout and money that way. Her percieved negatives are still pretty high.
I'm not against Palin, I just want to keep the facts straight and stop already with the made up fairy tales about her.
Sarah was VERY Gracious and Uncle McSmeagal returns the favor by trying to snatch her ring.
And if there ever been the living embodiment of a Hobbit...
She owes him NOTHING!!!.
You did nothing of the sort except to act like a jacka$$.
You asked when does her support stop?...
To which I responded with what I believe is the last time Palin supported McCain...
I used the word "one" to describe the amount days Palin spent in Arizona campaigning for McCain.
I used the word "since" to describe the point where there as been no additional support.
At no time did I say that Palin never supported McCain before March 2010.
What about her moving into his neighborhood to be only a few blocks (some here say only 2 blocks) away from his primary residence.
McCain lives in Phoenix. Palin bought a house in Tucson.
When you can actually demonstrate an example of Palin supporting McCain SINCE March of 2010 that isn't a product of your imagination, give me a ping.
Else spare me your clueless snarky comments.
Do your own research, son, before you post.
Enuff said.
You my friend are nuttier than a fruit cake.
WHAT research? What you claim is acceptance of the status quo and it has got us circling the drain of destruction. Nobody is making you post and you sure as ..... are NOT in charge of what I post. Some days the nose pickers need to get a life. AND I am no body's 'son'.... dufus.
As I said, ping me when you feel capable of having a normal conversation.
" And yet, she called CCB, which would raise the debt ceiling $2.4 TRILLION, the right plan.
An advanced case of PDS if ever I saw one...
Pound sand, newbie.
Pound sand yourself, TROLL
Gosh. I'm a troll, who's been here a decade longer than you have. I must be really skilled.
A skillful troll, if that satisfies you...
But troll, nonetheless!
And still, the original comment of mine that you reacted violently to remains accurate.
Did she, or did she not, call CCB, which would have raised the debt ceiling $2.4 TRILLION, the right plan?
I watched the video. I quoted her verbatim, and in context.
What exactly is "trollish" about quoting your candidate verbatim, and completely in context?
So you don"t support Rand Paul either? Sen Paul and Palin's positions re CCB are near identical... Just curious.
No, I don't.
Fair enough
To be completely frank, I didn't support either of them before this, either, for a number of important reasons.
But their support for a bill that would have borrowed and spent trillions more, just like Obama wanted, is just one more brick in that wall.
Every one is trying to cover themselves now, but some of us have paid close attention through every single step of this process.
And the fact is, there were only NINE House Republicans who didn't at one point or another vote to raise the debt ceiling by more than two TRILLION. And most of the rest of the Republican establishment was on the wrong side of that equation.
