text: From what I've read, he submitted the request a couple of weeks ago. Now, I don't hate Thad, but we can all agree perhaps we would have liked him over Al Thornton. Any buzz around Clipper Camp regarding Thad? He's a bit expensive and I doubt we have the assets.

text: The H. Berthold type foundry, renowned for crafting high-quality typefaces, was founded in 1858 by Hermann Berthold in Berlin. By 1918 the foundry had become the largest in the world, with offices in Stuttgart, St. Petersburg, Leipzig, Riga, Budapest and Vienna. Following World War II, Berthold actively developed proprietary typesetting equipment: in the 1950s, Berthold unveiled its first phototypesetting machine, the Diatype; and in the 1960s, Berthold introduced the Diatronic, its first keyboard-controlled phototypesetter for volume production.

I hope Clippers come out with the same defensive and aggressive mindset as they did last game. They should win this one.
Celtics are getting killed lately. Should be easy win for us.
NEver ever say anything is easy for the Clippers. The easier it should be,the harder they make it on themselves. Based on the lineups of both teams,on paper,we win (as i think we will). But they play on wood floors, not paper.
Take 'em out ,Go Clippers.
easy games we usually get screwed. home we come out like we did last game
Our season savior will most likely play Friday, sweet.
Our season savior will most likely play Friday, sweet.
Great, I want our team to be as healthy as possible so we can demolish the Lakers. We need revenge for opening night.
Golden State just lost. Come on Clips lets get a win and get ahead of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually right now we are ahead of them but we need to win to stay ahead
I'm so glad GSW lost and messed up their winning streak. Clippers gotta win this game to stay ahead.
I want Blake to really take ownership of this team while CP3 is down. Start dominating.
Dudley f***** fail. Smfh.
Now if we had a halfway athletic sf that would have been a dunk...
Dudley is a fool
Ok Dudley redeems himself.
Please, lets continue this!
Awright----I like the 7-point lead!
I was about to get REALLY mad with Dudley....then he got a steal and also hit a three...so not in my doghouse yet. lol
I like this version of Collison. Hope he can play like this when Paul gets back. Can't wait until Redick and Bullock come back!
KLove type of outlet pass good job blake!
Were killing these guys with our energy. Good work.
I thought only Kevin Love could throw the outlet pass???
Not sure I like the sideline reporter taking sides on which SG should start when JJ comes back! It wasn't "broken" before JJ went down either. Anyway, I LOVE what I'm seeing right now!
Dj with the hustle even though they got it back
Damn... even though it ended badly for us... that was some superb defensive effort from DJ!
Dam I love it when our players hustle but sometimes I don't want them to go overboard. If DJ or BG gets injured were screwd.
Ever since blake went through "the change" after the spurs game i can tell he is been frustrating people a lot
He is starting to master his face up game. Love it.
Yes sir!
Stop forcing interior passes!!!
Hollins=turd. We really need a halfway decent backup big.
And Hollins is like a cartoon character, he is so hapless.
Those are the only 3 point shots I want Barnes to take.
Good 3 to give us a little space
I remember when people were ragging on Odom so hard last season due to his offensive ineptitude. Right now Odom would be 2x better than any of the backup bigs on our bench.... So sad.
Olynyk shaqtin a fool!
Oh lord, this is why we need a guy like JC off the bench. We're playing good D but nobody can score.
We needed that 3!
I like Olynyk's game...but that hair! A little too 70's flashback!
Olinik throws a runner over the back board, then air balls a 3...hmmm maybe someone should tell him how high the rim is.
Wayns isn't too bad. In control and doesn't force the issue
Can't wait till Friday.
CP is really working hard as a coach, jumping up off his chair as soon as timeout was called. Lol He was already there with Doc to round up the guys.
Me too. I mean, he'll probably go 0-7, but still...will be great to JJ him back! lol
Jamal just can not buy a foul, on a drive to the basket or now. Time out called 1st.
If he misses that many shots he should get the memo to stop shooting at 0-4. And hopefully he gets some nice backdoor layups mixed in there for easy points
Dang, what happened to our nice lead from the 1st quarter? Only 6 ahead now. Clippers gotta start making some shots again.
Wonder if he is interested in coaching. Would probably be better than Kidd at least.
Jerryd bayless always kills us it seems. I like his game though

You may remember me writing about Jane GEERING before, she was my 5x great-aunt who was found drowned in the Common Pond, Hailsham, Sussex.
I know quite a bit about her death, from the reports in the local newspapers and her death certificate, but I did not know where she was buried. I had checked the transcripts of the parish registers for the church at Hailsham, and she hadn't been buried in the churchyard there (and I have checked the original registers now).
I wasn't entirely surprised, she died in 1874, two years after the cemetery at Hailsham was opened, and the fact that she probably committed suicide all pointed to the fact that she would have been buried in the cemetery. Of course if it was that straight forward I wouldn't be writing this post.
I have checked the transcript of burials for the cemetery and she is not listed in there either. I know it is only a transcript, but it looks accurate. The entry numbers from the burial register have also been transcribed, so they haven't missed an entry, and there is nothing like the name Jane GEERING, so I don't doubt that she is not in the register.
Perhaps she was buried in the church or cemetery and it was not recorded in the appropriate register, but this seems unlikely. It seems more likely that she was buried somewhere else, but where?
The only other option I can think of is Lewes, Sussex. Her closest relatives, her nieces and nephews were living in Lewes, but I can't imagine why they would go to the expense of having her body transported to Lewes for burial.

Tarot Readings have always been a popular choice for visitors to the Crystal Castle.
Our newest Reader is Shari , who was previously a member of the Crystal Castle family in 2003-04. We are very happy to have her return as a Crystal Castle Reader.
Shari has been studying & working with the human & animal connection to the crystal realm for 20 years. Her readings are in partnership with the Crystal Ally Cards, which incorporate the elemental forces: Earth, Fire, Water, Wind & the flow of energy through the chakra system.
"My crystal readings assist by giving guidance to a deeper understanding of how & what you are manifesting into your life.
Most people, when they enter the Crystal Castle feel an energetic shift - a sense of peace & tranquillity - an enlivenment of the Spirit. The rush of the outside world begins to disappear - mind chatter begins to ease as you breathe deeper & become more relaxed.
To understand our relationship with crystals, you need to understand that all things physical are actually energy – the frequency of energy & its rate of vibration makes it appear solid. Everything vibrates – the chair, the tree, the ocean, the crystal, you, me.
Our bodies are made up of basically the same minerals & crystalline structures as the earth, in different combinations & quantities – when you are attracted to a particular crystal, be it size, shape or colour, the corresponding mineral components in your body vibrate at the rate of frequency of that crystal. The change in vibration is picked up by your heart & your brain with signals being sent to the cellular level of your body. You may sense a feeling of wellbeing, an elevation of your mood as the opportunity for your energy to be re-balanced & re-aligned can happen.
My reconnection to the crystal realm began in 1988, My first crystal was an Amethyst point – this crystal is still a constant companion."
Shari offers her readings at the Crystal Castle every Monday and Friday.

Two Durango men have died within a week of each other, possibly the result of heroin overdoses, said Coroner Jann Smith.
Shane Gibson, 21, died March 20 at Mercy Regional Medical Center, and Eric Zwart, 27, was found dead March 24 at his home on Animas View Drive, Smith said.
Drug paraphernalia commonly used for heroin use � including tinfoil, spoons, lighters and needles � were in close proximity when each man was separately found, she said.
Smith is awaiting toxicology results before making a formal ruling on the cause of deaths. It appears likely heroin played a role, she said.
�It�s a good guess that�s what it is,� she said, �but we�re not positive that�s what it is.�
If so, they are the first heroin-related fatalities to occur in recent memory in La Plata County, Smith said.
It is possible a bad batch of heroin is circulating, she said, but without toxicology reports or further testing, it is impossible to know.
Heroin began appearing three years ago in Durango and has since become �incredibly common,� said Pat Downs, director of Southwest Drug Task Force.
People who become addicted to OxyContin pain killers often switch to heroin because it is cheaper, he said.
The Task Force is investigating the deaths of Gibson and Zwart, Downs said. He was unsure if there is a �bad batch� of heroin being circulated.
�I don�t think there�s such a thing as a good batch,� he said.
Downs also doesn�t recall any heroin-related fatalities in this area, but he said deaths follow prevalent use of the drug.
�When heroin use goes on, deaths are inevitable,� Downs said.
Zwart was last seen in bed March 23 by a friend who was staying at his home, Smith said. The friend awoke about 9 a.m. the next day to find Zwart in the same position, dead, Smith said.
Gibson was found by his mother about 4 p.m. March 19 after she returned home from work, Smith said. He lay unresponsive on the floor with needles and other drug paraphernalia nearby, she said. He was taken to Mercy, where he was pronounced dead about 10 a.m. the next day.
Gibson�s father, Michael Gibson, said his son was one day away from entering an in-patient drug rehabilitation program in Estes Park.
�He just had to have his last little hoorah before he went,� his father said. �It�s a big tragedy for us.�
He was surprised to learn of another death possibly involving heroin, but he said Gibson didn�t know Zwart.
�There�s no connection there,� he said. �I don�t even know how often it happens. I don�t have any statistics.�
The father gave a similar account to the task force leader about the progression from pain killers to heroin.
Teenagers raid medicine cabinets for pain killers, start selling them back and forth in high school, and eventually switch to heroin because it is cheaper and easier to find, he said.
�By then, they are already addicts, and they have to have the opiates,� he said. �It�s a powerful thing, and they can�t help themselves.�
Hundreds of people attended a celebration of life for Gibson on Monday, Michael Gibson said.
�Shane was a good kid,� he said. �He touched so many lives in this community, young and old. I had no idea how many lives he touched, and I�m very proud of him for that.
�He was just a kid in trouble. Most of his friends didn�t even know about it.�

Nothing say summertime quite like sandals, and when it comes to sandals, flip flops are a breed of their own. There's a different kind for every activity, whether that's a day at the water park, a stroll on the beach or a trip to the mall, there's no wrong time to wear flip flops (except the depths of winter, of course). From casual to formal, you'll find a style for each and every occasion. Make sure you have a pair of athletic sandals to make getting to and from your water workouts a little easier, whether that's at the community pool or in the ocean. Comfort sandals, on the other hand, are perfect for almost every day - when you're running errands or hanging at home on a lazy Sunday.
And women's flip flops aren't just for casual outfits. Dress sandals pair well with everything from floor length dresses to formal pants. Wedge flip flops combine the height and glamour of heels with the simplicity of sandals. Another great example is platform flip flops, which add a bold punch to any outfit without looking overdone. You'll find these sandals in every color you can imagine, from earthy brown to pink and bejeweled. Thick straps are ideal for those who have trouble keeping flip flops on their feet, and they look great as a contrast against your feet. Thin straps, on the other hand can look elegant and barely there. The good news? You'll find all these sandals and more at incredible prices. Women's flip flops range in size from 5 to 13 and come in medium, wide, extra wide and narrow, meaning you're bound to find just the right fit for you. Find all the footwear you'll ever need in our extensive women's shoes collection!

I should have been doing some family history last night, but I got side-tracked into fiddling about with the "new" Ordnance Survey getamap website. It is not really that new and is an updated version of the old website where you can view portions of Ordnance Survey mapping.
I have been struggling to get the website to print any more than a few pixels of any map, but I think I have a work-around for that now. I was then trying to work out whether it was worth subscribing to the website (£30 per year at the moment) to get extra features, but I was then distracted into looking at the county boundary that I cross every day to and from work.
I was playing with the route creating facility, it is really quite good as not only will it show you the distance but also the elevation and tell you how long it ought to take to walk (and run or cycle) the distance, practising using the route that I sometimes walk between Horley to Gatwick Airport.
With Henry GASSON in the back of my mind I started to study the route of the Sussex/Surrey border. I am pretty certain that the border has been moved since Henry's time, and I am positive that Henry wouldn't have recognised the land surrounding the boundary. I am not convinced that he would have realised that there was a boundary there in the first place, let alone placed any significance on the fact that he was moving his family from one side to the other.
For my own part though the boundary seemingly holds a significance which I can't really explain. Measuring the distance from my place of work to the boundary I worked out I could make my way back over into my native Sussex in just under 15 minutes. The closest point is just under two-thirds of a mile away, admittedly it is not a particularly appealing part of Sussex, being on the outskirts of Gatwick Airport, but it is Sussex nevertheless.

Are 5-3 all time in Game 5 of a "best-of-five" series, and own an 11-10 record all time in winner-take-all games of a series, which includes a 6-7 mark all-time in Game 7s.
With Tuesday's win at Detroit, are now 8-6 in ALDS games when facing elimination.
Marks the fourth time they will play a winner-take-all Game 5 at home, winning each of the previous three: also 1976 ALCS vs. Kansas City – a 7-6 "walk-off" win, 1981 ALDS vs. Milwaukee – a 7-3 win and 2001 ALDS vs. Oakland – a 5-3 win.
LEAN ON ME: RHP Ivan Nova (who hasn't lost since 6/3: 13-0, 3.22 ERA) tonight becomes only the second rookie pitcher to make his first postseason start in a winner-take-all game, joining the Phillies' Marty Bystrom in the 1980 NLCS Game 5 at Houston (Elias)…Bystrom (5.1IP, 7H, 2R, 1ER, 2BB, 1K) did not record a decision in the 8-7, 10-inning Phillies victory.
GO, GO GARDY: LF Brett Gardner has gone 4-for-7 (.571) with runners on base during the 2011 postseason, including 2-for-2 with 4RBI with RISP and two outs.

Hey good time for a group hug. Don't get too friendly with each other. We will still have differences of opinion but I guess it's trying to disagree agreeably. Anyway, glad you two made up. It was probably seeknay that was down on Joba and Hughes and I haven't been too high on them either. Anyway, start with a clean page. Enjoy the off season. Hope Cashman if he gets a new contract can pull off some good deals in the off season to get the Yankees back to the WS again next year.
On Gardner, i understand why he frustrates many of you, but ultimately he's a solid defender (Yankee Stadium requires essentially to CF's – one of them to patrol LF) and when he gets on can cause trouble. Now yeah, he didn't get on enough this season (his OBP was down on his career) but to anyone moaning about him striking out too much you are aware of the fact this season he struck out less than Robinson Cano aren't you – oh you weren't?!? Sorry to shatter the illusion. He's not going to hit 20 homers in a season unless they start using tennis balls for him, but if you expect a full team to mash 20 homers & get minimum of 80 rbi then you're playing MLB The Show 11! He's cheap (half a million dollars for what he gives you, c'mon, we spent more on guys who barely showed up, if they did at all!), he's effective in the field & does a job, even after arbitration this year i don't expect him to be earning any more than what we're paying Granderson (who is scandalously cheap at $8m – in baseball terms ofcourse)!
On Pitching. I'm worried about CJ Wilson, he's not exactly been setting a stage in the Playoffs, over 8 era, 0-2 and whip of nearly 2! There's little doubt about his ability to pitch, but he's still very "inexperienced" as a SP (2 full seasons), no doubt a valid addition to our rotation which needs improving, but worrying stats – although you have to question how much the contract year is playing into that. The guy from Japan, i'm wary of, very wary of – four words for you Kei Igawa, Daisuke Matsuzaka. You could argue that Matsuzaka has atleast flashed some potential, but the other guy, well, i think the less we say about him the better for fear of nightmares over the winter months! We need to be careful not to get stung like that again, just because a guy can pitch in Japan doesn't have any correlation as to how he's going to fare when he's over here and the first batter he faces is a Miguel Cabrera, Jacoby Ellsbury or Adrian Gonzalez. We need to ensure that we have the pieces in place to be able to acquire atleast 2 starters with big league experience – preferrably not of the 9-10 year variety either, closer to 3-5 years. We were fortunate that Garcia & Colon got us as much as they did this year, Colon got gassed through the end of the year though. Too many innings on the clock could wind up stinging us if we're not careful!
Thing is that ultimately we're now licking our wounds – that's when people tend to be most critical, this ballclub isn't a complete disaster, we acknowledge we're getting older in places, could do with stronger pitching but hey, we still won 97 games this season & made the playoffs. Yes we didn't win the WS – but remember back in the start of March, some people didn't even give us a shot at making the playoffs, don't know about you but that to me suggests that hey, we did something. All of that remember was done with the left side of our infield either hurt or slumping, 3 pitchers being consistent & only one player batting 300 – that says that somewhere there was performance coming through. Stats will get you so far, but stats don't account for heart, desire & will to win, they also take no account of the fact that this isn't Pittsburgh or Seattle here – everything in New York is much more difficult to deal with! (well, most things – only subway in the world i know that's simpler than NYC's is Glasgow, and it only has inner & outer circle😀 ) Once the season is done with the management will see what they can do to improve the team – until then, they're letting the spotlight rest on those who earned it, the Tigers, Rangers, Cards & Brewers. That's another thing which makes the Yankees what we are, a higher standard – no drama coming out of New York while there's playoffs under way.
yankmeister and itidibo–your twitter names. nor sure of your real names so can't address you as such. You've been back and forth here about Gardner and I can agree with some of both of your arguments. Gardner has been frustrating for me many times this last season. He went through hotter and colder stretches offensively. He has awful at times with RISP. he heated up during the playoffs and made a good contribution, but not consistent through the whole season. I don't have a knowledge of the stats on Gardner like you have. I can only go on what I observed and felt throughout the season. Gardner is fast. No doubt. He creates havoc on the bases when he chooses to run. At times I felt he should have run and he didn't. Whether that was his own decision or not I don't know. I played the outfield well and made some outstanding catches and saved the yankees bacon a few times. The nly fault I have is his inconsistent hitting at the plate. He took way too many strikes. He struck out in critical situations too often and didn't bring guys on base home. How that works out statistically I don' know but that was my feel throughout the whole season. Should we keep him? I think yes as a 4th outfielder. I still think we need to get someone else who can play the outfield well but can also hit for power. I think ABreu was that kind of outfielder. Is there someone like Abreu out there available? I don't know but if there is we should go after him. Where we lost the first round was in managing the team I think going into the playoffs resting too many of the big names. We lost momentum or never gained it in that last series with Tampa. Was did the rest do or Tex and ARod and Swish in th playoffs? Nothing. They were invisible. And of course our starting rotation had some big holes, espeically with Nova not able to go in the 5th game. Noone knew about any forearm inflammation. Was that therebefore the 5th game or did he develop it in the first 2 innings he pitched? Then it was patch work with the relievers from there. But our weak offence killed us ultimatey. Timely hitting just didn't happen. The big names, and the big salary guys let us down and they should own up to it. They totally dropped the ball at the plate and then it was up to the second tier players to pick up the slack which they weren't able to do. We should have beat the Tigers. We could have beaten the Rangers because we've always played them well in the past. Now in interviews we get from management and players the typical Yada Yada making excuses and saying, "Wait till next year.". Anyway, that's my one cent worth to the discussion. Don't let it get personal guys. I know you're passionate about baseball and the Yankees but it's just opinion and everyone is entitled to theirs.
The more i look at it the less "possible" it becomes to reward the best team in the league with a bye. Looking at it logically you need 2, 4 & 8 teams involved in the current WS/CS/DS set up, with a bye for the best record you'd then need 2, 3, 6 teams involved to qualify for each series.
Now what you could do is say the following, 2 division winners (not counting best record) & 4 "wildcard" from each league gives you your 6 teams for the "LDS", so you'd then add 3 WC over and above what we currently have. Sounds easy right? Well unfortunately hello to the AL East – the liklihood is that we'd have 3 teams from the AL East barring either excellent seasons elsewhere or an absolute disaster of a season from either the afforementioned teams. The second part of this is that you'd then have nearly half the league in the playoffs – talk about trivialisation, it'd basically wind up a case of you'd REALLY have to blow to not make the playoffs.
But if you did go with that, you'd then have 6 teams playing in the LDS, who then plays the team with the best record? Do you draw lots, base it on the best division winner (what if the current wildcard has a better record than the other division winners) – it's a nightmare. Then you have a secondary issue – say the LDS goes 5 games, that means the team with the best record in baseball has been sitting a whole week – that just wouldn't work.
It's not viable to give anyone a bye, nor is it viable to add any more wildcard teams for fear of cheapening the playoffs, at best even if you want to add a round for the WC we currently have (possible if you shorten the season by 2 weeks+) you'd still have to add a "wildcard" play-in. Say a 3 game set with the best record of those two teams having home advantage and again, hello Tampa & Boston, i know i hark back to the same point, but the AL East is the division of death compared to the others!
Like i said, this is why MLB pays a guy more money than i'll ever earn to figure it out – but hey Mr. Selig, if you feel like using this idea, drop me a line, i'm more than happy to be flown out to MLB's office to discuss it!
There probably is some way to mathematically reduce the number of games (forgive me, my maths is worse than Ramiro Pena's batting average!) but it's too early in the morning for me to consider it in much detail.
There's an obvious way which would upset people and that would be to lose teams, something that would be bad for baseball in my opinion. I suppose you could equalise the number of games against each opponent to 8 (4 home, 4 road) but that would then take out the divisional rivalries – which again, bad for baseball.
then again, i'm just a retailer, Selig pays someone the better part of a million dollars to figure that out, if he's gonna insure me, drag me over to league offices & pay me half that then i'll go into it in detail – until then, i'll let that lackey earn his money unlike the one in Boston😀
Allan: Thanks for your comment. Could we not shorten the regular season and start the post season earlier so we'd be into the world series by the last week in October? I still don't think a short series for teams that finish first in their division is fair or good for baseball. Any team can win in a short series. Where's the reward for finishing first in your division? I'm sure scheduling could be worked out of MLB and owners agreed to the principle. Anyway, they're not going to listen to the fans, to you and me anyway, so we're just speculating "what if". Actually today here in Toronto Canada it is 80 degrees and sunny.
Problem with that is that it'd add another postseason series, which would destroy the point in playing the season the week earlier like it did this year – in turn ensuring the World Series would almost always run into November. I'm no weatherman, but in the North East in November it's cold & wet at times – not exactly condusive to good baseball weather! Plus you have another factor, there's 6 divisions, if you give them all a bye week then you'd find it won't work mathematically as you'd have 3 matches from each league – 3 teams can't play in 1 game.
What i would be in favour of would be adding WC in each league & giving the team with the best record in each league a bye, but again you'd run into scheduling problems. (damn the weather & the NFL!)
One more comment/observation a I think about it. Why not give the teams that win their division a bye in the first round of the playoffs as a reward for finishing 1st and let the wild card teams play it out in the first round best of 5. In a short series any team can win and the winner of the division and with the most wins in the league can be beat out by the wild card team. It makes more sense to me to eliminate the wild card teams first and then let the division leaders play off best f 7. With this present system already Phillyand the Yankees are out of the playoffs. Not good for baseball or for revenue moving forward to the world series. Has this ever been considered? it's done in other sports. Anyone want to comment/add to this? Is it worthy of consideration by MLB commissioner and the owners of the major league teams for the future?
Just a parting shot. Girardi stayed true to his core veterans right to the bitter end, hoping they'd come through for him. ARod wasn't ready for the post season. Good defensively but not at the plate. He had already struck out twice in the game. In the later innings why not infuse some new faces and energy with Montero and Nunez and even Chavez. They couldn't have done any worse than ARod. But Girardi went through the whole series with his veterans and it cost him big time. Tex didn't produce. ARod didn't produce. Swisher didn't produce again. Martin didn't get it done at the plate either. It wasn't pitching that did the Yankees in in the 5th game. it was offense or lack of it. Yankees offense this year was streaky. The runs were streaky. Sure we hit a lot of home runs but you produce runs with singles and walks and bunts and doubles and moving runners along. We had to rely too much on home runs to produce runs all year and in the end it burned us. Will Cashman be here next year? Girardi? Who knows. Stay tuned. Anyway, it's all over now but the crying. What's done is done. We're out. We need to get on with our other life besides the Yankees for a while. Good bye all and have a great winter.
First off congratulations to the Tigers, they took their chances and converted – that's how you win games, best of luck to them against the Rangers in the ALCS.
Now comes the aftermath, on the face of it, things weren't actually all that bad, we scored more runs than anyone in baseball, hit more big flys, stole more bases & won 97 games. However there's the veneer then there's the wood underneath it, 1 player hit .300 (although Jeter managed to get to .297) – the next nearest was .267, that's not good enough. Yes they were bopping homers but with men on base we were TERRIBLE at points this season, contact hitting NEEDS to improve to get more runs across.
Pitching was shaky at best, we essentially rode our luck this year with Garcia & Colon and with Colon he was done by the time September came around, Nova performed well and then we come to the crux of it. CC was awesome for a long time, a workhorse, but really did struggle through September, Hughes was basically there to start every 5 days, and then there's AJ – well, i'm sure i don't need to say anything here. CC has the right to opt out this season, if he was looking for more money he just shot himself in the foot with those 6 weeks, so he'll need to think carefully about it.
Bullpen for parts was excellent – Rivera another typical year, Robertson an absolutely outstanding year. In parts, average – Logan, Ayala, Soriano all frustrated at times & dazzeled in others, for a while they were all lights out, but seemed to lose focus.
Where do we go from here? 3 starters minimum needed, new hitting coach required IMMEDIATELY and he needs to work hard in the offseason with everyone working on contact. I know you can't teach clutch, but you can build the foundations for it with good hitting – for this club we need more than 2 players to be flirting with .300 averages. No problem it was good watching Teixiera & Granderson smash 40+ homers, but i'd sacrifice 10 homers each for another 30 hits and that would be what's best for the team. We need our bench to improve – sure don't get me wrong Nunez handled the bat but his errors were alarming.
Fortunately there's light at the end of the tunnel, we knew Nova had something in him and he proved it this season, last night was a bad couple of innings, but that's going to happen – even the best have to lose sometimes. Montero came up in September and showed that he's not fazed by being a big league player, ok so we didn't see him much behind the plate but that's workable. Cano continues to prove that he's the centrepoint for this team, he does everything he needs to without much fuss and has taken the role of the spark in the team.
Fond farewells? Well, sad to say it, but i think Jorge is finished, he's had a decent career and will walk away with enough hardware to make much better catchers curse him for eternity! You also get the feeling that Colon is done, he's been ineffective for a while now and well, considering he was signed for the Bullpen, i think he's exceeded expectations. Jones & Chavez did what they needed to i suppose, but enough to guarentee them a spot next year – probably not. Then there's one of the most important things to our offseason and the scary part, it has nothing to do with the team on the field – Brian Cashman. Some of us have written him off over various things, but it's a contract year for him too and well, he's not done the one thing which would have had a contract handed to him on a silver platter. Does he return, even i don't know that, but i wouldn't be overly concerned if he didn't, perhaps what we need is fresh eyes and maybe someone with a bit of gall to stand up to the Steinbrenners and do what is needed to find the best mix.
But hey, there's always tomorrow, so we didn't win the World Series this year, fate wasn't to be (i'll take the blame, i didn't get to any games either this year or last, clearly my mojo didn't rub off on the team!). We'll come back next year but over the winter take solace in the fact, we might not have won the World Series, but atleast we didn't choke like Boston – silver linings in all the clouds!
Dare say i'll be popping in over the winter when signings are announced etc – but if i don't see you until then, God willing i'll see you in February to start it all over again.
Well, it's been an interesting year. Enjoyed the banter and the comments and the dialogue about the team's ups and downs. Anyway, everyone, have a great winter. Keep safe. We head to Florida for the winter away from the cold and the snow of Canada so will be at a few spring training games come the spring in Tampa. I wonder what next year's team will look like? I have some suggestions as to who they should keep and who they should let go but won't get into it here. See you all next April.
I wish the #ell we could dump ARod. A big loser. A big strike out. Twice tonight and with the bases loaded once. Paying the guy millions and he doesn't produce. Will he be ready for next year? Will it be more of the same? More injuries? And we're stuck with him for another 5 years? Anyway, disappointing loss. We had our chances but again the old nemesis, couldn't get RISP home. It's happened too many times this year. Anyway, hats off to the Tigers. There's going to have to be a lot of decision making about next year, who they keep and who they let go and who they bring in.
You show a lot of restraint there Bob. Bases loaded and two strike outs and a walk from the middle, the meat of our batting order? And you say "Foooooo" I'd like to say something a lot stronger than that.
Two strike outs from the middle of the order and one walk with bases loaded. That's why the Yankees won't win and don't deserve to win.
Texeira hasn't done much offensively all series either. The middle of the order and they haven't been producing for the Yankees in this series. That's the difference between the yankees and the Tigers. Swisher has had a poor game at the plate and not a very productive series. Can he produce here?
boos for ARod and they are well deserved. He hasn't done a @amn thing all series and strikes out with the bases loaded. What a lot of money for a player not producing. This could be the game right here.
Bob–Been rivetted to the Yankees/Tigers game and haven't done any switching. There've been a number of squirrels this year running around the field in different parks.
I haven't really liked Martin's performance at the plate in this series. He looks like he's trying to hard and trying to hit a home run every at bat. Looking bad in his last at bat with runner on base. The innings are ticking off one by one grinding down to the closer and to the Yankees going home if they don't start getting some consecutive hits or some big hits.
What a difference if we could have got a couple of runs with the bases loaded and 1 out and we couldn't get anyone home.CC has given up more walks in this series than he has in a couple of games all year. And the wheel turns and in comes another pitcher from the pen.
Is Robbie Cano and Granderson the only two guys on this team that can hit the long ball? Too bad it was a solo. Certainly ARod hasn't come close or Texiera. Time for them to step up. They haven't been much of a factor in this series. Giving CC another inning.
CC didn't get it done last time and it doesn't look like he's going to do it tonight. Jackson hasn't done anything all series and CC gives up a double. He's so mixed up in his routine with that first game being rained out. He's never recovered. Now they've got to use more of the bull pen. this whole strategy looks to me like it could backfire.
Can't leave the bases loaded with 1 out. That's poor hitting. These opportunities are not going to come often in a game like this. They need to get Fister out and they can if Gardner gets a hit. Great! A big opportunity to tie or go ahead lost. Not good clutch hitting. This could have turned the momentum around.
I hate these commentators especially John Smoltz. They're so biased against the Yankees. Martin does nothing with the bases loaded. You've got to take advantage of opportunities. Now it's up to Gardner. Even if Martin could have got a fly ball to the outfield he would have scored a run.
Jorge comes up again with a hit – to think there was a doubt over his inclusion on the postseason roster!
Will the Tigers' manager pull Fister here? Need to get him out and get to the bull pen. The only thing is Scherzer is a tough guy to face and the Yankees didn't fare well against him the first time around.
umpires zone tonight is a joke, all over the place and as consistent as the British weather!
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with Texiera at the plate? 2 for what in this series? Popping up. Striking out. Man he's really out of sync. He got those two home runs in the last series of the regular season, the Girardi rested him, and he hasn't done anything in this series. Sure he's great defensively but he's got to perform in the post season. We need his power in the lineup. Now it's almost a sure out every time.
Girardi has everyone on a short leash tonight. Danger of someone like Logan blowing up. This is desperation baseball where you take out your starter in the 2nd inning and then go to a different pitcher every inning after. If theYankees had been ahead by 2-0 instead of the Tigers the strategy probably would have been different. Yankees really haven't got to Fister yet. They did in the first game but he has them off balance tonight. This s do or die tonight for the Yankees. So what happens? Logan gives up a hit to the first batter he faces. This is nail biting baseball. I don't feel terribly confident in the Yankees' chances tonight.
Yankees striking out. ARod stands there looking. Annoying. And then Posada. At least get out swinging the bat and not standing looking at the ball.
can we get one umpire in this series to give the Yankees a break? Man it's an awful wide strike zone and it seems that the yankees have had most of the calls go against them. Tex gets a double and they are going to strand him on 2nd? Come on, they've got to get RISP home if they hope to win this game.
Hi guys. Not the first period we would have hoped for. Two mistakes and two solo home runs. Fortunately they were solo. It didn't seem to rattle Nova however, so hopefully he'll come back and pitch tough. The Tigers have seen Nova now once and perhaps adjusting. Fister gets 123. It's early but down 2-0 early is a little nervewracking. Yankees need to get those runs back and in the early innings.

Brad Turner @BA_Turner 1m
Clippers traded Byron Mullens to 76ers. Per source
LOL best news yet...
Ralph Lawler @Ohmeomy 8s
Both Jamison and Mullins have departed the Clipper plane on the Tarmac. Very awkward day.
Wish both the very best.
Brad Turner @BA_Turner 38s
Clippers will get 2nd round pick from Philly for Mullens.
Poor guys! But for saving money. Sure why not .
Got rid of two players and yet added no one and no free agents to help the team.
I think this is a grammar mistake. I'm pretty sure it should say we threw in a 2nd round pick and Mullens for nothing.
Okay whoever said Doc was an idiot in the Iman thread should be eating crow. If a GM can unload Byron on a two year deal I would have to consider him a genius.
So long Mullens! Enjoy philly! I hear it is lovely this time of year
Oh man that is pretty odd way to leave the team. Good luck to Mullens & Jamison- they didn't work out with the Clippers, and it is nice to more roster flexibility now.
bench space buddy. just wait for the additions via 10 days or bought out players. patience.
Great, now we have 3 roster spots and no cap space. So I guess we sign Sasha, bring Lamar back from Spain, and look for a D League guy.
Everyone is happy mullens is gone lol
We already had a roster spot and room for someone to be bought out. We need three spots now? We have been waiting for a buyout or cut and have done nothing look at Bynum to Indy.
This trade deadline is now officially a success!
Bring in Ivan
A lot of fans here consider our GM an idiot.
Best news of the day!! Still Clippers will pay the luxury
Tax for the first time. Be prepared to hear a ten day
Contract soon.
Pincus tweeted he is a possibility.
Ha! I was right.
Lol. Philly will start Mullens. Let the tanking begin.
In Doc i trust. If he can unload this hot garbage no telling
what he can do.
Hey were going slow but still in the right direction and that is all that matters!
it's early still..the buyouts usually happen after trade deadline..
bynum is too risky. at least that's what i believe. others may want to take that risk...i rather not.
Doc was the one who gave him the extra year and signed him in the first place. Lmao get out of here with that he only signed Mullens because he had huge game against the Celtics last year no other GM would of given Mullens a second year on a contract. He fixed his own mess and none of the teams overall.
It's even now. Doc corrected his huge mistake. Good job FO.
Ha! I was right.
nice call! haha
Beat me to @CapsNClips, Ivan Ivan Ivan!
I don't get how people are complaining. There is a huge possibility of getting a decent role player who is playing overseas. We now can try a few options out without locking ourselves down. It would have been nice to unload a bigger contract, but realistically Barnes for Felton would not have helped.
What was the point of having Mullens, or Jamison sit on the bench anyways. Did you guys want them to get a front row seat of the playoffs?
Well, there's still one more on our roster.
Yeah, need to do something about Hollins.
Ivan Johnson is a very small PF who was in China because no NBA team would pay him.....very much. We don't need a small player for PF.
We had a roster spot for Ivan even before this it had made no difference at all. Barnes and Collison for Felton and hurt Shump was a horrible deal and Doc should be called out for even entertaining it.What was the point? Ask Doc those were his guys he scouted and wanted. We still need a backup Center and since Doc turned down Zeller for Bullock then Bullock better start getting real minutes.
Maybe reggie is injured or something? He was getting more time earlier in the season so something is amiss!
Someone pinch me. How the hell did we get rid of Mullens and get an asset in return. It may be a 2nd round pick but Mullens is a negative value player lmfao.
I get it. The Sixers must want to push the tank to another level XD.
Wow, I didn't realise we got something back for him, looks like you can get something for nothing!
We might be looking at a 10 day for Ivan (hoopshype)
Do you guys think we'll sign sasha for another or go elsewhere?
He has the same body as Greg smith rhino.
I think we will re-sign Sasha.
Is that a good thing or bad thing?
Anyway still better than Mullens, Jamison and most likely Hollins so whatever.
Andrew Perna: It's being bounced around already: Miami has roster spot and Granger could be bought out. Twitter @Andrew_Perna - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.iXFH1CUa.dpuf
Exactly why we pulled out of the trade... For things like this.. Lets get granger if he is bought out and guarantee him a starting spot.. HUGE upgrade over Dudley
Woohoo! No more Mullens!
When you minus a minus, you end up with a plus.
Doc isn't an idiot, but it's clear he has a lot to learn as a GM. Dumping Mullens is a great move, BUT it was dumb to sign him to a two-year deal in the first place. We were lucky that another team was actually willing to take him.
doesn't solve our lack of length. but hopefully he'll be in time on defensive rotation which is something Mullen and Jamison couldn't do
what years are these 2nd rounders?
why we have to give the hawks cash?
who is Cenk Akyol?
Some scrub that will probably never play in the nba. Pure salary/player dump.
Sad part we don't have a victory cigar troll/white flag player anymore.
I am thinking the Clips need to hire JQuick as our GM. I get the sense that if we had him we would probably have LeBron by now with Tyson Chandler backing up DJ.
Good riddance
He's gone... he's finally gone. Philly sure are doing the right thing to make themselves terrible.
I'm actually really happy with our deadline moves. We've managed to clear a bit of room at the 4/5 whilst maybe gaining a 2nd round pick or two. This sets us up perfectly to pick up any players the are bought out

It�s time for a lesson about what is and isn�t bluegrass.
I know the common perception is that there is too much bluegrass in Durango, but I don�t have time to argue that. What I want to convey is that when a band has a banjo in the lineup, it doesn�t necessarily mean it�s a bluegrass band. If there are drums along with that banjo and a fiddle, it may have bluegrass leanings, but Bill Monroe and his modern-day purist followers wouldn�t call it bluegrass.
For example: The Pogues have a banjo player, but no one would ever confuse them with a bluegrass band. Likewise for Mumford and Sons. Both bands have drums, which don�t belong in bluegrass. If there are drums in a bluegrass instrument-oriented band, that is usually the formula for a jam band. And jam bands would flunk horribly the Bill Monroe test.
Sam Swisher used to lead a band called Kentucky Delux. They could have been bluegrass, but they, too, had a drummer. Swisher�s new band is the Bear Handed Killers, and they are a bluegrass band. They�ll play tonight at the Summit. On Saturday, they�ll play at the Durango Brewing Co., then again late night at the Irish Embassy. Opening is Russell Pyle from Albuquerque�s Porter Draw. Some people call them bluegrass, too, but they are more of an outlaw country band; they have got a banjo and a drummer.
The Bear Handed Killers are a four-piece band led by Swisher, who sings and plays guitar. He�s joined by Robin Davis on fiddle and vocals, Rich Riddle on lead guitar and Wally Crockfort on upright bass. But having Davis is like adding an extra member, as he can pick up a banjo, mandolin or anything else with strings and keep adding new sounds to the quartet.
As for tonight�s opener, Pyle � he is the commanding, heavily tattooed, on-stage head-thrashing vocalist (one of three) of Albuquerque�s Porter Draw. His band has gained some momentum in Durango, with a handful of shows at the Summit through the last three years, playing rootsy outlaw country.
He began performing solo in August. It is something that he has worked at knowing that being on stage without a band, there is no one to help mask your mistakes.
�It�s totally different going on stage with just a guitar and your voice than with four other guys. You have absolutely nowhere to hide,� Pyle said last week from Albuquerque. �This causes me to practice my songs enough to gag my wife. When you screw up on your own, everyone hears it. In a band, someone else is always there to cover your ass when you duck fart.�
Playing solo also lets Pyle showcase his songwriting, a craft that at times gets lost behind a five-piece band playing at maximum speed and volume. Like any songwriter, bluegrass or not, a lot of this music is words over instruments � real life stories.
�What I like about playing solo as opposed to with a band is that I get an opportunity to show people that there are real songs behind all this energy,� Pyle said. �Good songs. Songs about people and their lives. That�s important to me.�

Twister makes appearance at outdoor wedding
Good weather is what every bride hopes for at her wedding. One woman didn't exactly get sunny skies for her big day. Instead, nature presented her with a little something extra for her big day.
While couple Caleb and Candra Pence were tying the knot during their outdoor wedding in Kansas, a pair of twisters began swirling around in nearby wheat fields.
Although Candra, a country barrel racer, seemed to ignore the situation, she still gave everyone around a warning of the impending storm.
The bride told her mom and dad about the funnel cloud forming behind them. But her dad, the Nebraska native that he is, brushed off the threat and said it always happens. In case the weather turned bad, the couple planned to shelter their guests in a basement.
Caleb, a bull rider with a stint in chasing tornadoes, didn't pay attention to the incoming twisters, either. He said the wedding party was far from the tornadoes' path because the twisters were some eight miles away and taking another direction.
During the exchange of vows, some guests grabbed their cellphones to capture the tornado touchdown.
The uninvited guests of nature weren't snubbed the entire time, though. When the newlyweds walked down the aisle, they headed toward the open field, where they could get a clear view of the dancing twisters. The couple posed for photos and chose one of the tornadoes as a backdrop.
"I couldn't ask for better pictures," the bride said.

About This Warning...
This property was listed by a wholesaler, not the homeowner. It is not allowed (and highly unethical, on this website or anywhere else) to contact that homeowner directly to try and undercut the wholesaler.
For example, let's say that a homeowner wants to sell his or her house. They sign a contract giving a wholesaler 30 days to buy it at $60K. That wholesaler then lists the property for $65K.
What the warning is saying is that it is NOT okay to call up that homeowner and say "hey, I'll offer you 63K and we will go around the wholesaler" (so the owner makes an extra 3K and the buyer saves 2K). The seller would receive more and the buyer would pay less, however, the wholesaler would be wronged because they did all the work and were not compensated for it.

We're the cheaters? Cousins is the one who purposely pushed JJ Redick while he was in the air, which caused him to break his hand. Not to mention Cousins outweighs Redick by 80 pounds. Yeah.... that's not cheap at all.
Yeah, I remember that.... he's b The one that plays dirty! If you can't beat please don't make up excuses and down us. Crazy!
Beat me to it. We lost what, 20 games? ...from one of our most efficient players because Boogie is a bully. If that's "fair play" then Chris Paul should be allowed to kick Cousins in the nuts every time he puts up a layup.
If it weren't for basketball he'd undoubtedly be in jail, but he's making 8 figures and he still finds things to b!tch about. Punk.
Cousins is just a nut case with a bad temper.
Is it me, or does Cousins always seem to have our Clippers on his mind? Professional jealousy perhaps? He wishes he was wearing red and white?
Oh yes, we're haunting him down in his sleep. muhahaha.
Lol for sure
Undoubtedly be in jail? Oh please, not every NBA player is a thug. Boogie seems like a douche, but from what I can tell, he's not a terribly bad person.
If you ain't cheating you ain't trying..
Did I say every NBA player is a thug?
Not at all... I implied that Cousins is a thug.
Even in this article (which is basically half love-letter, half excuse for his past behavior), the author concedes that he is "petulant" and "a tyrant". Combine those traits with his intimidating physique, his limited intellectual capacity and the fact that young black men are incarcerated at a disproportionately higher rate than any other segment of the population, and I don't think my assertion is unrealistic in the least.
There is a damn good reason he slipped in the draft. People didn't want to deal with his attitude...
"When DeMarcus Cousins entered the league, he demeaned coaches, fought with teammates, and argued with referees."
"The school suspended Cousins for the second half of his sophomore season following a physical altercation with a bus driver."
If you took away his basketball skills, that type of demeanor would be much more of a hindrance in real life than the "attribute" that some may perceive it to be in a competitive sporting arena. As unjust as it may be, statistics clearly indicate that angry young black men who don't possess a skill that society values... get locked up.
I stand by my statement.

Once again I seem to have achieved very little this week when it comes to family history, in fact I don't really know where the time has gone.
I have done much thinking about family history, but not much real work. That thinking about family history usually pays off in the long run, it usually helps me organise my thoughts and plan the way forward on particular projects.
I know what I need to do next with the NICHOLLS/DRAPPER families from Kent, a little bit more research from home using the IGI and the census to build up a basic framework and then head for an archive or library to check some copies of the original parish registers.
I know that project is going to grind to a halt shortly as I wait for the opportunity to visit that archive or library, so I have lined up my next project, working on Thomas WELLER and his wife (possibly Mary NEWNHAM). This puts me back on home territory (Sussex) again and hopefully I should be able to make some progress on this without too many problems.
The next step for Thomas and Mary WELLER is to prove I have found the correct marriage, I should be able to do this by ordering the birth certificate of one of their children. I would like it to be Mary Ann WELLER my 3x great-grandmother but I am having trouble finding the correct reference, so it might have to be one of her brothers.
The good news is that the long Easter weekend means that I should have opportunity to get on with some family history. Unfortunately I can't spend all four days on my family history, but should have enough time to get a decent amount done.

I had my doubts about Eric Bledsoe being to able be a full time starting PG, but through his 1st 3 games of this season he looks like a stud. He's averaging 22 pts, 6.3 reb, 8.7 ast, and 2 steals. Not to mention he hit the game winning three against Utah. I'm not saying we should have kept him, but we should have gotten more than Redick and Dudley for him. Especially since our back up big men look pretty questionable.
When your painting a picture don't forget to add these colors: 14.67 FGA's , 409 FG%, .222 3pt% and 5.67 T.O. I like Bled, but again, I think we did just fine.
Agree with the original poster.
Bledsoe is this decade's Magette.
E Bled is playing well, but I agree that we have to look at the whole picture. He can be great, but he's still got a ways to go..
That doesn't sound like a good thing.
I've been watching Suns games. He's still just as clumsy with the ball, sometimes too fast for his own good. 3 games in, he's a turnover machine.
I'm sure as he gets more comfortable as a starter, he will learn to become less prone to turnovers. I wish he was still on our team, but I'm happy for the guy. The good news is that we actually got something for him (I'm very pleased with Redick). Dudley got off to a slow start in the preseason, but after the last couple of games, it looks like his 3 point shot is back.
Bled plays defense. Maggette still doesn't know what that is.
What is it with ex-Clipper youngsters making their debut with their new team and hitting game-winners in Phoenix?
Agree 100%. our bench looks very suspect so far and they are blowing leads every time CP3 goes on the bench, even with starters on the floor. With Bled, our second unit was better than some teams starting 5s.
and if you take look at his clutch numbers, he is leading the league so far this season.
I look forward to seeing the Clips play the Suns and see Bled and CP match up, should be fun.
Bledsoe is an animal!
People saying that he's clumsy with the ball, and the clippers are still fine, and you guys are happy with Reddick and Dudley don't know bball.
He's 23 and averaging 23,8,6 you guys gave up a future all-star and top PG in the league for close to nothing.
Bledsoe turnovers are still a problem, but his potential is right up there with any PG in the L, not every PG has a high ceiling, Bledsoe's ceiling is as high as all get out.
His TO's are a problem for a supposed future all-star pg. He still has a sg mentality. I aways thought we should have given him a shot a that slot.
Oh, wish him well in his career.
Gee thanks for educating us all on bball. Heaven forbid we consider it good bball to have outside shooters on a team with two low post players in the starting lineup.
TO's isn't about having a sg or pg mindset but about good enough passing decisions and ball handling. Bledsoe had never been a sg mentality that's why they didn't want to start him at sg with Paul. Too bad because they played well together and a dual pg front can work really well when one is super athletic.
Bledsoe is a averaging 21ppg 7.5apg 5rpg and to think we traded him for Jared Dudley. Yes that is what we did because all Milwaukee got for JJ Redick was Caron a 2nd rounder from us and a 2nd rounder from Phoenix. Might turn out to be one of the worst trades in our history (Bledsoe for Dudley that is)
3 years of Jared Dudley for 1 year of Bledsoe. I think we did pretty good taking into account we wouldn't be able to match his contract.
we did terrible. look at what the sixers got for holiday, who bledsoe has destroyed in 2 games so far this season. i think we could have at least got one 1st rounder out of phoenix who has 4 in this years draft and a few more next year.
I would have rather had 1 year of Bledsoe and used him as a s&t piece. 3 yrs of Dudley better be the best Dudley of his career.
3 yrs of Dudley only huh? We also got Redick you know.... And why would anyone want to trade for Bledsoe after a year when they could just wait for him to be a FA?
Look at the details of the trade all that Milwaukee got was butler and 2 second rounders. I think we could have worked that straight up. The suns raped us by trading Dudley and a 2nd rounder for Bledsoe. Might be our worst trade ever.
Also Bledsoe will be a restricted FA the ultimate s&t scenario.
TO's are a very big neg for any position particularly at PG and his court vision/passing skills so far are just average to below average. We'll see IF and how good he can make his teammates. Time will tell on how good PG he will end up being.
Scoring, REB and defense are his strong suits at this point in his career. Sounds like he would have made a good SG.
By the way, I really like EB and wish him the best.
Passing is one of his biggest suits just like it was in high school when he was the second rated PG not SG. Don't know why everyone acts like he has been a sg trying to be a PG. he can be out of control but he is a great passer and playmaker and gets the job done. Sometimes someone does thing a little more unconventional.
But I can understand it being hard for some people to accept things being out of the ordinary, most struggle to see outside the box they are trapped in
Pretty sure Russell Westbrook is insanely turnover prone as well, and he's considered elite.
By some so-called experts. Think he's overrated actually.
Well If you think so, then case closed.
in case you guys have been missing out on the bledshow:
Thanks for the acknowledgement and intelligent remark.
Haha no prob
Bledsoe just cracked the mvp ladder this week, so happy for him.
Yeah that is good going for Bled.
I have to say your avatar is a bit disturbing
Eric will have a great season, and he will be in the top 15 PG's in the NBA. However, I still think this:
20.4 PPG, 6.8 APG, 4.6 RPG, and 24.05 PER will hold.
I project Eric to eventually slow down and average 16 PPG, 6 APG, and 3 RPG. Still solid numbers, but man his hot start seems way too good to be true
Let me guess who your team is. Any clippers fan that watches the game has had over 3 years to evaluate Bledsoe's play. Bledsoe is a superb athlete. He's quick and great on defense, but in regards to our decision to ship him out it was a no brainer. When you have Chris Paul, you don't keep a young point guard with "potential." You ship him out in exchange for ancillary pieces that will help Chris Paul. At the time we had an aging Chauncey Billups and Caron Butler. Trading Bledsoe landed us one of the best shooting guards (Redick) and a SF (Dudley) that hasn't even begun to show what he was made of.
If Bledsoe stays here he helps the second unit, but he rots away wasting his potential and we remain with againg players at the wing. Bledsoe has had a hot start, but let's see how his numbers look at the end of the year. So considering the move the Clippers made it was the right one, and in fact you calling out people who are happy with Dudley and Redick is the wrong thing to say. It is you who don't know anything about B-ball, and you base your amazing insight on 8-9 games where Bledsoe is the best player on a weak and rebuilding team? It was probably not the brightest thing you've done on your short time here to insult respected members here for their support of Redick and Dudley
For close to nothing hey! Dudley might be not be lighting it up right now but Reddick is making a big impact. He's a major piece for us and making hay with a PG like CP.
yeah its a bit odd
I think he stays where he is at. He is dominating out there and shows how smart the suns were eight hat trade. I agree we needed to trade bledsoe but we picked he worst deal to do it with.
The other thing people forget is Bledoe's defense is top notch. That the best part of his game so it's great for him to see his offensive stats so high. I truly believe this was one of the worst trades our franchise made because I think we could have traded for reddick straight away and not even included bledsoe in the deal.
He isn't going to sustain those numbers. I can see him being a star but no way can he continue to shoot at 50% when he only shot in the low 40s as a backup PG.
Actually some fans keep thinking it was a straight up swap Dudley for Bledsoe which it wasn't. It was both guys you were needed (Butler AND Dudley) for EB not matter how some people try to spin it.
The Clippers wanted/needed some team to absorb the cap space and Caron was someone nobody really wanted at the start and middle of the FA period. The Bucks took Caron way later in FA when they lost Ellis and Jennings and couldn't sign anyone else.
Another team would mostly likely have gobbled up JR if we had waited until the Bucks decided to bite their tongue and sign Butler. Who's knows who we would have ended up with at the SG position.
Overall, I am happy with the trade especially with Redick. Once we see Dudley and Collison recover from their respective injuries our team will get a lot better. Then add in Odom and improve our chemistry....
I love what reddick is doing for us but we were probably getting Nicholson and a 1st rounder (protected) with afflalo. I think that was a better trade.
Maybe, maybe not. Who's knows.
And before labeling it a better of worse trade, I'm going to give it more then a 10 game/small sample size time period.
Not sure who we could have packaged along with EB to get that deal from the Magic. I'm pretty sure they would haven't wanted Crawford and the $ with them drafting Victor O.
The rumor was butler and bledsoe. It is pretty amazing how well Afflalo is playing though, who knows if that lasts or not. He is a good defender though, and we really could use Nicholson.
Obviously this doesn't apply to back up bigs, right??
With history NOT on their side, the probabilities aren't good. So no it doesn't
We'll never know if that was just a rumor...and you know how releiable rumors are.
Love it.
Funny how when it matches your point of view you like it to be open ended and if you are so sure it's so concrete.
Funny guy you are tense. And yes I know right back at me, right?
Nothing matching my point of view, lol. You know for sure that rumor was true and that supposed trade was going down....hmmm
And yes, right back at you.

Pinching is removing the stem tips of a young plant to promote branching. Doing this avoids the need for more severe pruning later on.
Thinning involves removing whole branches back to the trunk. This may be done to open up the interior of a plant to let more light in and to increase air circulation that can cut down on plant disease. The best way to begin thinning is to begin by removing dead or diseased wood.
Shearing is leveling the surface of a shrub using hand or electric shears. This is done to maintain the desired shape of a hedge or topiary.
Rejuvenating is removal of old branches or the overall reduction of the size of a shrub to restore its original form and size. It is recommended that you do not remove more than one third of a plant at a time. Remember to remove branches from the inside of the plant as well as the outside. When rejuvenating plants with canes, such as nandina, cut back canes at various heights so that plant will have a more natural look.
* The key to watering is water deeply and less frequently. When watering, water
well, i.e. provide enough water to thoroughly saturate the root ball. With
in-ground plants, this means thoroughly soaking the soil until water has
penetrated to a depth of 6 to 7 inches (1' being better). With container grown plants, apply enough water to allow water to flow through the drainage holes.
* Try to water plants early in the day or later in the afternoon to conserve
water and cut down on plant stress. Do water early enough so that water has
had a chance to dry from plant leaves prior to night fall. This is paramount
if you have had fungus problems.
* Don't wait to water until plants wilt. Although some plants will recover from this,
all plants will die if they wilt too much (when they reach the permanent
wilting point).
* Consider water conservation methods such as drip irrigation, mulching, and
xeriscaping. Drip systems which slowly drip moisture directly on the root
system can be purchased at your local home and garden center. Mulches can significantly cool the root zone
and conserve moisture.
* Consider adding water-saving gels to the root zone which will hold a reserve
of water for the plant. These can make a world of difference especially under
stressful conditions. Be certain to follow label directions for their use.
A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Preparing Containers Containers are excellent when used as an ornamental feature, a planting option when there is little or no soil to plant in, or for plants that require a soil type not found in the garden or when soil drainage in the garden is inferior. If growing more than one plant in a container, make sure that all have similar cultural requirements. Choose a container that is deep and large enough to allow root development and growth as well as proportional balance between the fully developed plant and the container. Plant large containers in the place you intend them to stay. All containers should have drainage holes. A mesh screen, broken clay pot pieces(crock) or a paper coffee filter placed over the hole will keep soil from washing out. The potting soil you select should be an appropriate mix for the plants you have chosen. Quality soils (or soil-less medias) absorb moisture readily and evenly when wet. If water runs off soil upon initial wetting, this is an indicator that your soil may not be as good as you think.
Prior to filling a container with soil, wet potting soil in the bag or place in a tub or wheelbarrow so that it is evenly moist. Fill container about halfway full or to a level that will allow plants, when planted, to be just below the rim of the pot. Rootballs should be level with soil line when project is complete. Water well. How-to : Plant Bulbs It's time to plant bulbs.
Prevention and control: Keep your garden as clean as possible,
eliminating hiding places such as leaf debris, over-turned pots, and tarps.
Groundcover in shady places and heavy mulches provide protection from the
elements and can be favorite hiding places. In the spring, patrol for and
destroy eggs (clusters of small translucent spheres) and adults during dusk
and dawn. Set out beer traps from late spring through fall.
Many chemical controls are available on the market, but can
be poisonous and deadly for children and pets; take care when using them - always read the label first! Pest : Aphids Aphids are small, soft-bodied, slow-moving insects that suck fluids from plants. Aphids come in many colors, ranging from green to brown to black, and they may have wings. They attack a wide range of plant species causing stunting, deformed leaves and buds. They can transmit harmful plant viruses with their piercing/sucking mouthparts. Aphids, generally, are merely a nuisance, since it takes many of them to cause serious plant damage. However aphids do produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface growth called sooty mold.
Aphids can increase quickly in numbers and each female can produce up to 250 live nymphs in the course of a month without mating. Aphids often appear when the environment changes - spring & fall. They're often massed at the tips of branches feeding on succulent tissue. Aphids are attracted to the color yellow and will often hitchhike on yellow clothing.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds to an absolute minimum, especially around desirable plants. On edibles, wash off infected area of plant. Lady bugs and lacewings will feed on aphids in the garden. There are various products - organic and inorganic - that can be used to control aphids. Seek the recommendation of a professional and follow all label procedures to a tee.
Although many people believe that cooler temperatures are responsible for the color change, the weather has nothing to do with it at all. As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, a chemical clock inside the trees starts up, releasing a hormone which restricts the flow of sap to each leaf. As fall progresses, the sap flow slows and chlorophyll, the chemical that gives the leaves their green color in the spring and summer, disappears. The residual sap becomes more concentrated as it dries, creating the colors of fall. Glossary : pH pH, means the potential of Hydrogen, is the measure of alkalinity or acidity. In horticulture, pH refers to the pH of soil. The scale measures from 0, most acid, to 14, most alkaline. Seven is neutral. Most plants prefer a range between 5.5 and about 6.7, an acid range, but there are plenty of other plants that like soil more alkaline, or above 7. A pH of 7 is where the plant can most easily absorb the most nutrients in the soil. Some plants prefer more or less of certain nutrients, and therefore do better at a certain pH. Glossary : Viruses Viruses, which are smaller than bacteria, are not living and do not replicate on their own. They must rely on the cellular mechanisms of their hosts to replicate. Because this greatly disrupts the cell's functionality, outward signs of a viral infection result in a plant disease with symptoms such as abnormal or stunted growth, damaged fruit, discolorations or spots.
Prevention and Control: Keep virus carriers such as aphids, leafhoppers, and thrips under control. These plant feeding insects spread viruses. Viruses can also be introduced by infected pollen or through plant openings (as when pruning). Begin by keeping the pathogen out of your garden. New plants should be checked, as well as tools and existing plants. Use only certified seed that is deemed disease-free. Plant only resistant varieties and create a discouraging environment by rotating crops, not planting closely related plants in the same area every year.
