Stepping Away
I am stepping away from the Blue Jays beat for a few weeks. I'm heading back to Chicago now that Baby Bastian is starting to figure out where the exit is located and could be showing his face any moment now. So, I won't be blogging for a while and the updates on Twitter (@MLBastian) will be minimal over the next couple weeks.
Catch you down the road….

Good luck with the new one, Jordan. Hope everyone is healthy.
I just now checked in on the White Socks and Reds. Scott Rolen is back from post concussion syndrome with a clean bill of health, and is hitting .316 in his last 10 games. Alex Rios has played 12 games and is 9 for 45, or .200, with 1 fielding error.
I think we'd all better get used to pronouncing Rzepczynski, cause I think we're going to see a lot of him next year with this kind of attitude:
"Who cares about the hits?" Rzepcznski said. "I'm more upset about the five walks. Control is what's going to get me deeper into ballgames, and throwing a hundred and whatever pitches I did in six innings is way too many."
Rzepczynski sure looks like the real thing. He still has some lapses with his control, but I really like the way he can maintain his composure and work out of trouble. "Load the bases with 2 out? Oh, well, we'll just have to get the next guy out."
It's going to be a very interesting Spring Training.
Congrats Jordan!
Wish you and your family the best!
Although, I never saw the pitch that hit Scutaro, I did see the pitch Bard threw purposely at Barajas's head. I hope Scutaro's ok.
Although I don't condone throwing at someone particularly someone's head, we must protect our hitters. I was surprised Cito didn't protest. but maybe the protest should come from a 98 mph fastball from League.
Any pitcher that hits a batter should be tossed out of the game. Any pitcher that injures a batter should be out of baseball as long as that hit batter is out of baseball. So if the hit batter's career ends, then so does the pitcher's.
Might be unfair to pitchers but it could be the batter's life or career.
I saw Carlos Delgado get plunked in the ribs one time. He didn't get upset, took his base, and the next time up, he hit one into the second deck. On his way down to first, he just shot the pitcher a meaningful glance. That"s how you get even.
I didn't see the pitch that hit Scutaro either, but Beckett's fastball was all over the shop last night, so I don't think it was intentional.
Unfortunately, pitchers need to be willing and able to pitch inside without fear of ejection in order to protect the plate. Unfortunately, batters get injured (Zaun, Overbay, Rolen, etc.), and that is part of baseball. The rules are fair as they are, because in most cases, the damage is done by a wild pitch, not by any intention on the pitcher's part. IMHO, if batters are suffering concussions from being hit in the head, maybe baseball needs update the design of the batting helmets, which don't seem to have changed since they were invented.
Beckett's pitch at Scutaro was definitely intentional, watch the video and see the smirk on his face. In addition and actually in some ways more unsettling was Bard's pitch at Barajas which also intentional.
Pitching inside and even hitting someone is one thing-throwing at their head is quite another and Beckett is getting a reputation for doing this. Injuries are one thing, career ending injuries or death because of it are something else again.
Pathetic game, this team is becoming an embarrassment, but yet JP has no intention of calling up any kids, just guys already on the 40 man roster with MLB experience or so he says here:
I think most of the guys we'll bring up, you've seen before — not a lot of secrets," Ricciardi said. "I don't think we're going to be bringing up anybody that's new to the big leagues. I think just guys to help us get through the month with some extra players."
If one is to believe JP that means no Arrencibia and no Dopirak. I wonder how exactly this idiot expects fans to come to games or keep interest in this team.
Bringing up guys to get us through, Christ bring up the entire AA & AAA team and send everyone else home, we'd probably win more games and they'd sure as hell be more fun to watch than this pathetic group we now call a major league team.
I expect we'll see Nolan Ryan come out of retirement and pitch in Texas, throwing a no hitter with nothing else but 75 mph fastballs straight down the middle of the plate.
I'd also expect a couple of dark brown stains on Blue Jay management's shorts for not trading Halladay before the trading deadline (and if there isn't there should be).
Last time I checked trade value of a pitcher doesn't go up when he gives up 17 runs in his last 17 innings.
Another bright decision by JP Riccardi.
Three potential September call-ups made their case in last nights game.
David Purcey pitched the first complete game shutout for the 51's this year, giving up 3 hits, walked none and retired 27 of 30 batters.
J.P Arrencibia went 3-4 with 2 home runs and 3 rbi's to go along with his 1 hr and 2 rbi's of yesterday, giving him a total of 18 hr's and 65 rbi's in 108 games. I guess it makes a difference when the game temperature is under 100.
Brian Dopirak went 3-4 also with 1 hr and 3 rbi's, giving him 27 hr's and 96 rbi's for the year. (131 games)
I dont understand why they think JP Arencibia is not ready for the Majors or even September call-ups
I think 18hr in 108 games is surprisingly good for a C
that would translate to about 30 HR in 162 games.
which would be amazing for a C.
whats more is that he is still young and will develop more power in the future. also like you said, pitching in Las Vegas, with that catching equipment, it will take a toll.
So considering that he could have potentially hit 35-40.
now ofcourse the Major Leagues are much harder than the minor so assuming that lets say he isn't able ot hit 35-40 HR
but ofcourse he can still hit 20-25, which is once again more than amazing for a Cather.
bring him up.
Dopirak is just raking it, better than overbay for sure.
is he on pace to hit 35 HR?
Considering that Arrencibia is only 23, there's a very good case for stating he could ultimately get to 30-35 home runs at the MLB level. I think he'll actually hit more here than AAA, because he won't be playing in average temperatures of 110 and the lighting is better. Remember he did hit 27 hr's with 105 rbi's last year in 126 games, so this isn't a first time occurrence.
Dopirak looks like a pure hitter, hits to all fields with power, good bat control and takes what the pitchers give him. AAA season ends on September 7th, so there's only 8 games left for Vegas to play. Again he has a history of hitting home runs, with 29 last year along with 101 rbi's in 128 games. He has hit 39 one year before he got injured.
What excites me is when these two guys are combined with Hill, Snider, Lind and Ruiz and if EE recovers from the wrist injury and gets back to normal, we could have 7 guys in the lineup all capable of hitting 30 hr's and driving in 100 RBI's. Now that makes us competitive.
Leaving Cecil in there to burn 7 runs, might go down as the dumbest decision I ever saw a manager make, that is other than the one to put Janssen in.
So all Dopirak did last night was go 4-5, with a double and 2 rbi's, raising his BA for the last 10 games to .366 and his year numbers in Vegas to .344/.375/.545. His total numbers for the year are now 41 doubles, 27 home runs and 98 rbi's meaning he'll likely be the first Jay player to reach 100 rbi's, like he was last year.
Arencibia hit another home run, which is his 4th in the last 3 games and 19 for the year of 109 games played. He is heating up as game time temperatures drop below 100-which isn't a surprise to me. If these two guys aren't part of the September call ups, something is wrong.
Initial September call ups are Brian Wolfe, Dirk Hayhurst and Joe Inglett, no Accardo, Purcey, Arencibia or Dopirak. I agree on Dirk Hayhurst, but Wolfe and Inglett-really.
The Jays sent down Accardo to bring up Janssen who's been a disaster (6.25 era) when Accardo's era was 2.50 and more importantly had only given up 1 run in his last 10 outings here or 9.2 innings, so his era over his last 10 outings was under 1.00.
Further, Wolfe was a disaster here (7.56 era) and continued his disaster in Vegas (5.50) so why in hell is Wolfe getting called up instead of Accardo.
What's the story on Accardo, JP, did he tell you to piss off or something. This makes no sense what so ever.
Even if you don't like Accardo, he's potentially a valuable trade item since he did close for us and did an effective job this year, so why not bring him back up showcase him and get something out of him.
And why Inglett? He's never going to be more than a fill in utility guy. Where's Arencibia and Dopirak? Are we trying to build for the future or just limp through the end of year and pass on 2010 and 2011?
And why don't we bring up short stop Angel Sanchez and see what we got. We already know what Inglett is.
We might lose Scutaro to free agency, Sanchez is now over his surgery and put up nice numbers .305/.365/.478 in Vegas and hits .304 with risp. What have we got to lose by trying him out up here?
Congratulations to the Bastians on the birth of their fine looking son which can be seen here:
Thanks for sharing the picture JB.
Just signed on to say congratulations Jordan!
gsjays, thanks for posting the pic for us non-twitter-ers. I wonder why his middle name isn't Rzepczynski? What a missed opportunity?!! Congratulations to the Bastians. Now, the games have REALLY begun.
What is it about Toronto women that unhinges A-Rod? And now he even "cops" a feel on one of our finest..

Congratulations to Randy Ruiz………………….
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Pacific Coast League today announced Randy Ruiz of the Las Vegas 51s was named the 2009 PCL Most Valuable Player, an honor annually chosen by the League's managers and media representatives.
Ruiz becomes the fifth player in the 27-year Las Vegas franchise history to win the PCL MVP Award: OF Kevin McReynolds (1983), 1B Tim Pyznarski (1986), C Sandy Alomar (1988 & 1989) and 1B Phil Hiatt (2001).
Ruiz currently leads the league in RBI (106), doubles (43) and extra base hits (70). His (.320) batting average is eighth in the league, and is sixth in the league in runs scored (81). The first baseman is fourth in the PCL in slugging percentage (.584) and in home runs (25).
This season, he was selected as the starting first baseman for the PCL in the Triple-A All-Star Game held in Portland, OR. In 2008 with the Rochester Red Wings, he won the International League batting title with a .320 average and was named the IL Rookie of the Year
On August 11th , Ruiz had his contract purchased by the Toronto Blue Jays and is hitting .292 with five home runs and eight RBI in 18 games for the Jays.
Ruiz is the first Las Vegas player to win the PCL MVP since Hiatt in 2001. He is in his first season with the Toronto Blue Jays organization and eleventh overall in professional baseball. The Bronx, New York native was signed by the Cincinnati Reds as a non-drafted free agent out of Bellevue (NE) University in 1998.
Past PCL MVP's include players Paul Konerko in 1997, Bobby Valentine in 1970, Tony Perez in 1964, three time winner Steve Bilko, 1955-1957, Joe DiMaggio in 1935, and last year's winner Nelson Cruz of Oklahoma.
For more information on Ruiz and other 2009 PCL award-winners, please visit the League's official website at pclbaseball.com. There you can also find information on the 2009 PCL playoffs, scheduled to begin on Wednesday, September 9th.
J.P Arencibia is definitely heating up as the temperature drops. although the game isn't over yet, Arencibia has already gone 2 for 3 and both were homers with 2 guys on, so 6 rbi's on the night, so far.
This is his 7th home run and 17 rbi's in the last 10 games and gives him 21 hr's and 74 rbi's in 113 games for the year. He leads the PCL in both categories as a catcher.
Why does it look like we're giving this game to the Yanks. In spite of the fact Millar went 0 for 5 yesterday and left 7 runners on, here he is batting 4th again. So what does he do-leave another 4 on. Of course, the great disappointment Wells, hitting 3rd, left 4 on as well. So far, Wells is 1 for 20 in September and Millar is 0 for 12 and they're batting 3rd and 4th.
Bottom of the 8th, we're done 1 run, Ruiz up and we pull him, and sub Lind, in spite of the fat Ruiz had already hit two over the fence. Why not sub Lind for EE who was coming up after Ruiz and have two shots at it instead of one.
If the Blue Jays are concerned that on a holiday weekend with the Yanks in town, they're only drawing 22,000 fans, just wait. With this kind of in game management-I guarantee you it gets worse, and could break 10k.
I was disturbed to hear that Cito plans to move Snider to left and keep Lind as the DH next year. This will leave out Ruiz or anyone else for that matter. Clearly, Lind should be moved to first base. Overbay should be released. This is crazy. We need to put the strongest hitting lineup we can together. In case Cito has not noticed, his team is 25+ games behind. We need big bats and excellent pitching – JUST TO BE COMPETITIVE.
I disagree with one item. I don't think Lind should go to first base, I think Dopirak should be called up to take that spot and I agree on dumping Overbay. Snider played right field before and will get used to playing it again. The kid learns fast, give him the rest of the season in right and he'll be fine.
Snider in right, Lind in left, Ruiz the DH and Dopirak at first, giving us 4 guys who could all hit 30+ home runs and drive in 100, 5 with Hill, and 6 if EE comes around from his injury and improves his defense.
Cito should take another look at the Yank lineup-8 of 9 guys have hit over 20 hr's and could all either drive in 100 or come close to it. That's our competition and what we have to beat. Cito should worry more about Wells, than anything else, because if he's here next year it doesn't matter what anyone else does, we'll still lose.
Even with the lineup, I mentioned above we will struggle to compete with the Yanks and we will need strong pitching and defense to do so .
Since Arencibia is lined up to go to the AFL this year, although I still think he'd gained a lot of experience being called up the AFL is worthwhile.
But, I expect Brian Dopirak must be sitting in Vegas wondering exactly what the hell he needs to do to be called up. Instead we call up Phillips, when a month ago the word was Phillips was never really taken seriously as a prospect.
All Dopirak has done in Vegas is hit .330/.366/.509 and his year numbers are 42 doubles, 27 home runs and 102 Rbi's compared to Phillips 13 doubles, 9 hr's and 30 RBI's. Arencibia by comparison has 32 doubles, 21 hr's and 75 rbi's.
There has been a rumor that JP will not take any prospect he didn't draft seriously and not let them impede his own draft choices. Is this what we're seeing with Dopirak? Is JP concerned Dopirak will heat up at the MLB level and block Cooper, the first rounder who we spent 1. 3 mill or so on a year ago, who's sort of floundered this year in AA.
Or is it because Cito wants to ensure Millar, Barajas and Chavez all get lots of at bats before the end of year because they're all free agents????? Does this help the Jays?
Well this lack of a move could come back and bite us in the rear, since Dopirak is a minor league free agent this year and our failure to act when he's performed above and beyond, just might convince him to sign with someone else. I certainly would.
Of are we just seeing more of the same idiotic, stupid management decisions that locked us into such losers as Millar, Mench, Wilkerson and so many more.
This isn't just true of JP, gsjays, it is true of all teams. They always put more value in their higher picks that they have paid large signing bonuses to. The exercise is to get them through the minors and into the bigs as fast as possible, so these "bonus babies" are given preference over other players that may have better numbers at the time. This is the reason that players like Dopirak, Ruiz, Jesse Carlson, and others spend years and years bouncing around in the minors wondering what they have to do to get a chance. I often thought the Jays would be well off to hire a scout just to comb through their own minor league affiliates looking for those lost souls that deserve a chance.

The reason they want Kyle Phillips, gsjays , it so they can have a look at him for next year. They want to keep both Arencibia and Jeroloman in the minors for one more year at least, and since they may not sign Barahas or Chavez next year, they will likely need a backup catcher, and it will likely be Phillips.
Although it is true most teams value their picks higher, It's also true that the good teams determine the quality of all prospects and promote according to quality. JP is simply trying to cover his a.r.s.e. because Dopirak is a lot better prospect than Cooper-who JP signed for $1.5 million and looks like he's stuck in AA and no longer has the power projections originally suggested by JP. I suspect Dopirak will make this team next year when JP is booted out.
It might be that Phillips is being looked at for next year as a back up, but I doubt it. Arencibia will be one of two catchers coming north next year and it makes more sense to resign Chavez as back up with the hope he imparts some experience to Arencibia.
Jeroloman has failed miserably in AA, and will probably repeat or sent down to A+ or lower. I'm not convinced the Jays even consider him a serious prospect any longer and I suspect he'll be passed in the depth chart next year by either Sean Ochinko, Johnathon Jaspe, Yan Gomes, or in fact all 3.
By the way, the other so called top prospects you liked at the start of the year (Ahrens, Jackson and Tolisano), which cost the Jays $4 million in signing bonuses have all failed again. Tolisano looked for a while like he might have gotten it but then went into the dumper. Next year will be interesting, because these guys can't be promoted, but they can't stop other prospects from coming up either.
I was one of the people who believed that Cito made a difference in this team's hitting philosophy, especially last season, however with Cito's continued stubburness in regards to issues like pinch-hitting and trotting guys like Millar and Bautista over Snider and even Ruiz I now believe that Cito along with Riccardi should be fired when the new president is announced. I hate to say that but to continue watching Bautista and Millar in the lineup and hitting in crucial spots is infuriating. I thought Snider was supposed to play against everybody, meaning including lefties and that didn't last long.
This team desperately needs a clear direction, be it to go nuts in free agency, or deal Halladay and rebuild. I've defended J.P. on occasion here but to me his time is up too. I can go on about more issues but those stick out the most for me and I need some sleep.
Goodnight everybody!
For all you John Gibbons haters out there, I'm just sitting here laughing my butt off, and I bet John is too.
I guess I have to point out gsjays, that the reason Phillips is here is that they are going to need catchers next year, and it is not going to be Arencibia or Jeroloman. Plus, all the minor leaguers that you are so hot on are not even on the 40 man roster, so they are not even eligible for callup. They had to put Marcum on the 60 day just to get a look at Phillips.
I also object to your statement that other teams do a better job of scouting undervalued players than the Jays do. Otherwise how did players like Jesse Carlson, Randy Ruiz, Brian Dopirak, and others end up with the Jays organization in the first place? Somebody had to scout them and sign them, and since the final say is JP's, he at least did something right.
Randy Ruiz, gsjays, who you were so hot to get to the big club, and hit well when he first came up, has hit .225 in his last 10 games. Travis Snider, a "bonus Baby", blazed through the minors, and hit very well in AAA this year, continues to struggle with the Jays and has also hit .225 in his last 10 games. I could show you countless other examples of players that tore the cover off the ball in Spring Training, and in the minors, but fizzled at the major league level. My point is that just because a player hits well in the minors doesn't mean that he will hit well in the majors.
The big difference is in the scouting, the availability of video, and highly paid coaches that specialize in finding a hitter's weak spots. When you add the fact that the vast majority of major league pitchers were in the top 10 per cent in the minors, hitting in the bigs is much more difficult than in the minors, and not everybody can make the adjustment.
yer-please get your facts straight before you post. I wasn't hot on getting Ruiz here at all, I wanted Dopirak and Arencibia.
And Ruiz isn't hitting .225 in his last 10 games, what do you do just make this stuff up? Ruiz has played a grand total of 21 games here. In that timeframe he's hit .284/.379/.541 with 1 double, 6 hr's and 12 rbi's, so he's hitting hr's and driving in runs at a faster clip than any other Blue Jay.
Snider is hitting .250/.364/.357 for the month of September. As I remember, you were also one of the most vocal posters here against Adam Lind when he first came up and posted numerous times he wouldn't make it, etc. etc. etc. I was for quite some time the only one here pressing for Lind and stating exactly what he has become. See, these young guys just need time to adjust to how the pitchers adjust to them.
Last time I checked it really is the same game in AAA as it is here, but there's better lighting here and more pressure. Kids need to get acclimatized to the crowds, tv broadcasts ,etc. With Snider it really gets back to him adjusting to how the pitchers have adjusted to him. If you have noticed ( and I know you haven't), Snider's OBP has improved dramatically since he was us in May which is a great sign, meaning the adjustment is underway and I expect him to go on a tear before year end. I also expect he could hit 35-45 hr's next year and drive in 100+.
yerouttaheah-You must really be proud of your boy JP Riccardi, because the hens have come home to roost on your guy.
The record for the minor league teams, this year are as follows:
Auburn: 26-49, .347 win %, finished in 14th place-or last place in a 14 team league.
Lansing: 28-41, .406 win%, finished in 14th place in a 15 team league.
Dunedin: 69-69, .500 win%, best finish was 2nd half-3rd place in division.
New Hampshire:. 64-78, .451 win%, finished in 10th place in a 12 team league.
Vegas 51's: 71-73, .493 win%, 10th place in a 16 team league.
None of our minor league teams this year are in the playoff's, for the first time in about 8-10 years.
In addition, when JP leaves Toronto this year, he can go, knowing he was responsible for setting a couple of other new records in Blue Jay history. One, this team will set a new franchise low for wins post all-star, unless they go on a serious terror over the last 23 games, which I doubt. So think about it, a new level of mediocrity which even outshines our early years as a franchise. Pathetic.
And second, although it's hard to know what the record will be, last night's "announced attendance" of 11, 159 certainly sets a new record for low attendance at the Rogers center. It might in fact be a new franchise record, although I'm sure the Jays wouldn't want to announce that, if in fact it is the case. And that number was for a Hallady start. I wonder what the balance of home games brings.
In my view, the single biggest cause for this fan apathy is the circus orchestrated by JP when he tried to trade Halladay. Fans were, rightfully so, more upset with how the situation was handled than whether the trade happened or not. JP made this franchise and City look like amateurs, and this low attendance is payback.
This team has no direction, no plan, no leadership. It's becoming an embarrassment to be a Blue Jays fan. Yer-JP has made you proud.
yer-again, man you need to gets facts straight before posting. The Jays had and still have all kinds of maneuverability on the 40 man roster. Others can be moved to the 60 day dl, without any issue so room could have easily been made for Arencibia, Dopirak and possibly a lh reliever to take pressure off of Carlson.
That being said, seeing how Cito is using Ruiz, it probably doesn't matter anyway, and I now question why they brought him up in the first place. Cito's only played him in 6 of the last 13 games, so to me, it looks like he's being used to give Millar a break, not being reviewed for a possible position next year.
Ruiz, like Snider should be playing everyday, and Lind should be playing in left field not dh. How is Lind going to improve as a left fielder if we don't play him there and how is Snider ever going to settle in to RF if we don't play him. Of course they'll both make mistakes, that's how they learn, but fact is we're going to lose anyway.
Although, I have a lot of respect for Cito winning two world series, I think he misunderstands, as do the balance of Jays management, why fans aren't attending games.
The simple fact is, there's no reason to attend. As a fairly serious Blue Jays fan, I knew this year was going to be difficult and called for the Jays to finish either 4th or last. I called for them to win between 70 and 75 games and right now I think I might have been too optimistic.
However, what I didn't see happening, and no fan did, is this adrift the team is currently in, because at one time the new President was supposed to be announced early in the year. That hasn't happened and now will probably not happen until after the season and potentially after the series. I knew the new President would clean house, as all new Presidents do and bring in his own people to fill key roles like GM and field manager which I felt is necessary for this team to move forward.
In this rudderless drift the team has been put on, fans get no sense of a positive future, so why support a losing cause if the team itself doesn't seem to care.
The low attendance is the Jays responsibility, no one else and is the result of consistent lying to the fan base by JP, poor fan appreciation, bad moves, bad contracts and bad marketing. They had a chance with the September call ups to show fans what the potential future might look like and called up kids like Dopirak, Arencibia, possibly Castro-for short relief, and numerous others. No one expects these kids to play flawless, errors and embarrassing moments are expected, but it would still be a lot more fun watching these kids perform and develop than Wells, Millar, et all.
That being said, Cito himself is also responsible by not playing Ruiz and sitting Snider against left handers-when he said he wasn't going to, etc. Hey Ruiz, might not be an answer, but it would be nice to see him play everyday to see if he is. Lind wasn't able to hit left handers either when he first came up, he hits the hell out of them now and that didn't happen by sitting him on a bench. And by the way Snider hit the hell out of left handers in Vegas.
Of course as fans we hear the same rhetoric, they're not ready, they won't get playing time, etc. etc. etc.. Well, the way I as a fan and others look at it, if the Jays really don't think they're ready, the future looks pretty damn bleak, and I for one refuse to spend money on a ticket to watch Vernon Wells slap another ground ball to short or third and continually kill rallies, etc. I'll stay at home, and watch the games intermittently only when either Snider, Hill, Lind or Ruiz is up to bat. I'm sure thousands of fans feel exactly the same way I do.

Wander around Dickinson and you'll see a large number of red Adirondack chairs scattered across the campus.
Sometimes it's a single chair a student has moved to a quiet place to work alone. Other times they're in twos and threes where a couple of students have spent time catching up on The Daily Show. The red chairs are not only a school tradition; they also represent our strong sense of community. And it's that type of engagement that allows our students to comfortably take a seat anywhere.

I love these! I am in a hawaii state of mind too! Further fuel to the fire.
Part mid-century mod decor, part ancient religious icons. Beautiful wooden carving or ceramic mai tai-filled mug. A little bit Shag painting, and a little bit scary. The thought of Tiki conjures up all kinds of images in my mind, from giant Polynesian statues to animatronic Disneyland show, and I am fascinated by them all.
My fascination with Tiki began as a small kid inside the Enchanted Tiki Room at Disney World. Of course, there is a much deeper meaning to the world of Tiki than amusement park attraction.
What was turned into a caricature of tropical fun a half-century ago are actually ancient Polynesian deities. Tiki statues, or ki'i, of these gods were created to capture divine powers and connect with the spiritual realm.
On a recent visit to the Hawaiian islands, we visited a beautiful historic park on the Big Island. Pou'uhonua o Honaunau, or Place of Refuge, is a sacred site where law breakers in ancient Hawaii could come to be saved from their penalty of death. Visitors can see temples, ruins, and a number of Tiki statues.
While the ki'i are recreations of the original statues, their craftsmanship is incredible, and I will always be impressed by the imagination and creativity of the ancient Polynesian people who originally created these figures.
I will admit that while I love retro Tiki collectibles more than the average gal, and the Tiki Room will always have a place in my heart, seeing Tikis as they were meant to be seen is the most fascinating and best of the many portrayals of Tiki.
"All the birds sing words and the flowers croon, in the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room."

AMERICUS - Georgia Southwestern starting pitcher Frank Ambrosino set the tone for the afternoon with a complete-game, 11-strikeout, one-run effort in the Peach Belt Conference series opener with Young Harris College at Hurricane Stadium on Saturday. The Hurricanes won Game 1, 5-1, and took the nightcap, 8-5.
Southwestern improved to 14-25 overall and 5-17 in the Peach Belt. The Hurricanes have a winning record at home this spring, with a mark of 10-9. PBC newcomer Young Harris falls below .500 to 18-19 overall and sits at 7-16 in conference play.
The two schools wrap up their inaugural PBC series Sunday at noon.
It was the Ambrosino show in Saturday's opener.
Ambrosino faced the minimum on six occasions, retiring the side in order five times and forcing an inning-ending double play on the other occurance to pick up his first victory of the spring. Minus a rough outing at Columbus State last weekend, Ambrosino has been strong over the past month, holding opponents to three runs over a 23 1/3 inning stretch.
Michel Coffey drove home GSW's first run of the day in the second inning with a bases-loaded chopper to third base that brought home Jarrod Taylor.
The Hurricanes added three runs in the third inning with RBI singles from Stephen Eldridge, Neal Chambless and Les Cromer. Chambless tacked on the final run with a RBI single in the seventh.
Chambless finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs to lead GSW batters. Cromer and Eldridge added two hits apiece.
YHC starter Adam Moore (4-3) threw 4 1/3 innings, allowed four runs - three earned - and seven hits. Moore walked five and struck out one. Brice Merritt, Donald Frew and Oliver Pratt shared the final 3 2/3 innings in relief for the Mountain Lions.
The Hurricanes jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first and held off YHC the rest of the way. Blane Parker drove in two of the runs for GSW in the opening frame with his two-out triple to right field.
Of the Hurricanes eight runs scored in Game 2, five were knocked in with two outs.
YHC closed the gap to a single run in the third inning with a pair of RBI singles.
Taylor gave the Hurricanes a little breathing room in the bottom half of the third when his infield single brought home Randall Sheffield from third base.
Similarily, Taylor drove in Sheffield in the fifth inning, this time by way of a sacrifice fly to give GSW a 5-2 advantage.
Trey Rogers made it a two-run game in the sixth inning when he led off with a home run to left field for the Mountain Lions.
Young Harris added single runs in the eighth and ninth innings, but GSW put the game out of reach with a three-run frame in the home half of the eighth. John Duran picked up a RBI and Eldridge brought around a pair for the Hurricanes.
Perhaps the biggest plays of the nightcap came in the eighth inning when, after YHC had pulled within 5-4, Bray Bishop came on in relief of GSW starter Matthew Suggs. The Mountain Lions had runners on second and third with only one out when Bishop struck out two-consecutive batters to work out of the jam.
Parker turned in a three-hit performance to lead GSW. He collected a single, double and triple to fall just a home run shy of hitting for the cycle. The middle of the Hurricanes batting order took advantage of scoring opportunities as hitters four through six in the batting order (Eldridge, Taylor and Parker) accounted for six RBIs. Eldridge had two hits, as did Sanders.
Suggs (4-6) pitched 7 1/3 innings before making way for Bishop. Suggs allowed four runs and seven hits while walking two and striking out six. Bishop struck out three in 1 2/3 innings of work to earn his third save of the spring.
YHC starter Justin Cooper (2-5) threw 4 2/3 innings, allowed five runs - two earned - and eight hits while striking out two. James Mills followed with three innings of relief and Tyler Isbell forced the final two outs.


text: This is the very first pencil drawing we did when the game was set in London, in 1666. I'm a bit nostalgic when it comes to this one, but in a positive way. This is the piece of art that triggered lots of excellent work in terms of architecture - all the landmarks…there were more than 80 cathedrals in the skyline by that time. There is this very specific skeleton aspect to the facades, there is a canyon feeling in the streets, there are strong shadows.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China unveiled on Wednesday a natural gas policy designed to spur the transport sector's use of the cleaner-burning fuel, and particularly of liquefied natural gas (LNG), as the world's second-largest user of fuel reins in consumption of dirtier oil.
Besides homes, utilities and factories, the government for the first time targeted the transport sector, covering buses, taxis, trucks, and vessels as preferred users of natural gas, according to a document published on the website of the National Development & Reform Commission (www.ndrc.gov.cn).
"It's certainly a good policy that will see gas replacing quite a lot of diesel, which is the main fuel used in China's transport sector and is much more polluting," said analyst Yan Kefeng of Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA).
The world's top energy user is poised to triple natural gas use to meet about 10 percent of total energy demand by the end of this decade, to cut emissions from coal use, and dependence on oil imports.
The policy push would lead to the world's biggest fleet of LNG-fuel led vehicles, as it is both cheaper and more efficient than the conventional gasoline and diesel, experts have said.
To supply the fuel, leading energy firms CNOOC Ltd, PetroChina and Sinopec Corp are building a string of facilities along China's eastern shore to import LNG, gas super-cooled to liquid form for shipping in tankers.
Others are building smaller plants inland to liquefy natural gas from gas fields distant from the main pipeline networks. LNG tankers then truck them across the country to end-users.
In the eastern province of Jiangsu alone, the number of LNG-fuelled vehicles is expected to exceed 6,000 by 2015. Southern Guangdong province wants to replace LPG, a more costly refinery product, with LNG for buses.
In the NDRC statement, the government bans use of natural gas as feedstock for making methanol or the base-load gas-fuelled power generations in coal-rich regions.
It also curbs use of natural gas to produce fertilizer.
"Natural gas is still a precious resource in China, so the government wants to manage the demand side as well," said Yan.
The NDRC, China's top economic planning agency, also said it would push gas price reform and establish a better link between prices of natural gas and alternative fuels. A pricing link between gas production and consumption and a seasonal gas pricing system are also in the pipeline.
Beijing last revamped its gas pricing model in December 2011, freeing up wholesale prices for unconventional gas and launching a pilot scheme to link domestic gas prices to imported fuel.

As a treatment for
temporomandibular disorder (TMD), hypnosis may help you
relax your facial and jaw muscles and break unconscious tooth-grinding and

Under the guidance of a trained psychotherapist, you are guided into

is achieved, you may be more susceptible to the power of motivational
suggestions provided by the counselor.
When you complete hypnosis therapy (usually after 3 to 8

Transforming Industrial Landscapes in Lusatia
The landscape of East Germany is scarred from the change in ideologies following the end of the Cold War.
In the aftermath of the lignite (brown coal) mining, a symbol of GDR Industrial pride and a behemoth of its economic power, vast tracts of barren land and deep gorges have been left. East from Berlin, edging up to the border of Poland, the landscape has endured decades of abuse and upheaval. However this is all changing.
Under the direction of the IBA Fürst-Pükler-Land,
is a ten year project and the largest landscape design and earthmoving site in Europe. There are 25 projects currently being undertaken in the Lusatia area, each one addressing environmental renewal, landscape architecture and industrial heritage. To be completed by 2010, it is the first IBA (International Building Exhibition) to focus solely on the landscape instead of built projects.
I visited the area to see this transformation first hand. While I did not visit all the 25 sites, the area is certainly one of paradoxes and an inspiration for the revitalization and creative activation of former industrial areas. It has even more relevance as the history revolves around the cycle that is mining coal for energy, and then creating energy to mine the coal.
In the 1800s, Fürst Pükler had grand and eccentric visions of transforming this same countryside into a garden. After his extensive travels, the passionate prince brought the English tradition of landscape gardening back to his castle in the area that is now the German-Polish border. It was his lifes work to make nature and art as one and was finally laid to rest in a green pyramid at Branitz. Continuing the Pückler legacy is the IBA director and Director of the Bauhaus Foundation , Prof Dr Ralph Kuhn.
The Lakes
One key rehabilitative idea is to transform the huge holes left by the open-cast coal mining into manmade lake-lands, attracting tourists and leisure seeking urbanites to a future aquatic paradise offering floating architecture, water sports and nature reserves. The lakes will all have their own identity.
My first stop is the Ferdinand Heide designed IBA Terraces on the shore of the new Ilse Lake. This is to be the first completed manmade lake as part of the SEE project, an open cast mine that is slowly filling with water from the underground streams. The sun chooses to radiate this vast place for me, and it takes on another image. Here this once barren landscape is alive and in flux, as it was before. Its a strange kind of time travel. Green shoots sprout after the rain, and the blue sky is reflected in the waters.
There is still one abandoned house on the edge of the lost village, a silent witness to its life, death and life again. A chilling reminder of the full impact of mining in the area are the memorial rocks in front of the lakes bearing the names of the villages, and the year of their evacuation, that had to be cleared for the mines.
We walk up to the viktoriahohe, a lookout point shaped like a boat, and witness the sun shining on the spectacular view of this surreal and ever changing landscape. It is strange juxtaposition, having tourist lookouts over the flooded mines.
Industrial Heritage as tourist attraction
An idea held strongly by Dr Prof Kuhn is to remember the areas industrial heritage by retaining some of the structures, and not to demolish and forget them like so many other GDR buildings. And like alchemy, transforming these heavy metals into another force, one of culture and spectacle.
The F60 is one such monument to the past. Referred to locally as the horizontal Eiffel Tower (it does look remarkably like the Parisian landmark lying on its side) this overburden conveyer bridge is 502 meters long. It is the largest machine ever created and only one of five ever to be built. Now it stands as a monument to the past. Silent. Except for the audiovisual spectaculars that happen every weekend, one of the cultural projects developed for the site. And the birds that nest in its corners.
In the old Builders workhouse I watch an education film about the history of the F60, and see how these huge beasts operated. There is a small museum with coal memorabilia like bricks with GDR emblems. We have a coffee and a soljanka soup at the café terrace overlooking the steel giant. Couples can even hire an elevated platform hundreds of feet high for a special dining experience.
Lauchhammer Bio Towers
The Lauchhammer Bio towers are another kind of monument, this time the only remnants left from a huge 120 hectre cokery that once filled the town of Lauchhammer. Not ruins, but reminders. Througout Lauchhammer there are old, factory buildings with broken glass and lonely bus stops with names like "Wasserwerk" and "Haal 3", reminders that the town once relied on this coal washery, powerplant and brickette factory to survive. We look at a black and white photograph of the site in 1958 and I am shocked by its huge scale. In 1991 it began to be dismantled. 5000 people lost their jobs.
All that is left of the cokery now are the bio towers and a tree that also miraculously once stood here. Landscape architects Zimmermann and Partner have transformed the area with a green and asphalt park, replacing the dirt and smog with landscape design. A vertigo inducing glass cube hangs off one tower, where one can now look over the site from above and see another design tool, the white crosses that mark the spots where other towers once stood. The paving is made from schlackerstein, the waste products of Lauchhammer. The towers were only saved after much controversy. For a while they were lit up at night until the locals were convinced of their value as a monument to their local history. In the end it was the work of the Kunstgassemuseum Lauchhammer that saved them. Plans for the future are still unclear.
Former worker Dr Konrad Wilhelm joins us on our tour and as he looks out over the area, the sadness he still feels is clear. He tells me how he was born on this area, played there, partied at the rocket bar and the cinema; how he left, came back, employed workers and then had to fire them all. He tells me he turned out the light at the end of it.
Art and Creativity
Creative initiatives are paramount to the SEE project and play a role in many of the 25 projects. They revitalize the area, create interest and engage the community.Internationally renowned landscape artists and architects have also been invited to participate. Nowhere is this so prevalent as Pritzen - a peninsula that forks out into the new lake of Grabendorf.
In the nineties Pritzen had two Art Biennales (1993 and 1995), so it already has some resonance on the German cultural map. These Biennales consisted of site specific land art and landscape design, and addressed the changes. Ben Wagin created his own monument to the destroyed village of Gräbendorf and planted a tree for every demolished house. Like all land art, some pieces have remained, while others have been grown over or swept away by the battering winds. It feels like a treasure hunt trying to find them all now. The Stonehenge like structure on the top of the hill is clearly an art object , while the abandoned caravan in the field - its not really clear.
But there are new plans too. Swiss artist Jurg Mantala has been chosen as community arts worker. Together with the locals they will create art works under the name of Paradise 2. Other community projects involved the people of the destroyed villages creating an opera together. Artist Charles Jenkes together with Italian Andreas Kipar have been invited to create a new piece and will create a giant hand, embracing the lake and island. After walking along the windy shores, we took a warm coffee and LPG cake every trade cake at the local café. The town of Pritzen has a sense of hope.
Weltzow World at the open cast mine
While there are 24 projects to resuscitate the mines, one project, just as spectacular, does not do that. It is the one remaining active coal mine in the Lusatia Weltzow.
After seeing this, I am aware of the sheer scale and effect of open coal mining, and why the other 24 projects are so necessary in creating an alternative future for the area.
As we near the Weltzow, the road becomes rough and dug up, trees are being felled to make way for large machines. It is like a giant hole creeping towards the neighboring towns, about to eat them up and swallow them into the mine. When we arrive at the mine, Energy company Vatenfall has even provided look out spots to bear witness. As far as the eye can see, up to the horizon, there is a dead desert. No sign of life. Miles of nothing. Just the sounds of strip mining, the monstrously big machine and the F60 overburden conveyer belt, slowly passing and sorting the soil, exposing the black coalface below. Huge endless plains of desert, the largest machines in the world repetitively sorting the soot from the sands of the coal face. It is like a huge rake or a huge insect. Here the F60 is no ruin or monument, it is alive and active and is slowly rumbling its way to devour ghost towns. 80 towns have gone or were relocated due to the mines. And more will go. On our way back we pass through the inhabited town of Proshun, who have to wait until next year to find out their fate. Heidemuhe was not so lucky. We drive through its deathly quiet overgrown streets, cracked windows with flowers growing through the mouldy wallpaper all abandoned to make way for the mine. There are open doors and stairways to nowhere, an old glass factory that is no longer needed.
Some ideas work and others do not in this changing and historically forgotten landscape. This area is one of opposites, of destruction and transformation. It is not unique, but the incentive and infrastructure put in place to deal with the changes may well be.
As I leave, I think again that its a bit like alchemy - transforming heavy metals into another force.
Thank you to Janine Mahler and IBA SEE for hosting me and showing me around the area.

Yes, no, maybe, yes but not here, not now, maybe later… We had been trying to shoot Animal Collective for more than a year, and for more than a year they had been playing cat and mouse with us. When we finally had the opportunity, right before their show at the Cabaret Sauvage, we already had something else scheduled. Vincent Moon could not miss it, so I went to the other shooting with Jeremiah, so that he could at last film the three obscure, fascinating and almost inaccessible guys.
On the evening, Moon did not know what to tell me. It was weird, it was magical, it was nothing… He was both bewitched and puzzled. He finally said something: "the sound was incredible, but the pictures, I'm not sure… We'll have to do something experimental, mix everything up…"
Then, a new editor arrived, George Pompidup, and along with him, a curse. The band had already announced their Take Away Show, the editing was going well, and suddenly, the movie was nowhere to be found. For two months we could not lay hands on it. We even received insults from Animal Collective fans. Finally, in mid-January, Pompidup came back with an editing attempt.
I had not seen nor heard what happened during that Take away show, and I discovered Pompidup had broken the Take away shows orthodoxy: a zillion filters, cuts… But he had done something uncredible: in the first video, he had mixed two different takes from the same song, and two completely different takes in the second one. He had created songs from the rushes. And it worked.
The discomfort felt at the beginning becomes fascination, every scene becomes the piece of a puzzle, a piece which is examined so that we can guess what part of the song it belongs to. In the end, Animal Collective caused us some difficulties and they were hard-liner enough to have us follow them. We went in a tunnel, we followed a shopping cart, they yelled in plastic cups. But above all, though they had us follow them, play with them, it was only to give us pieces we would try and build something with.
So that we would also experiment to achieve our Take away show.

Sitcom Co-Created and Exec Produced by Wayans to Air Weeknights with Back-to-Back Episodes at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
NEW YORK - Aug. 23, 2010 - Nickelodeon welcomes My Wife and Kids to Nick at Nite, TV's home for the modern-day family sitcom, every weeknight from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT) beginning Monday, Aug. 30. The half-hour series stars Damon Wayans (In Living Color, Major Payne) as a modern-day patriarch who rules his household with a unique brand of wisdom, discipline and humor. Wayans executive produced and created the series with Don Reo (Blossom, Everybody Hates Chris), and also served as a writer on the show. The complete 123-episode library of My Wife and Kids will join Nick at Nite's slate of stellar family comedies, which includes George Lopez, its original time-slot neighbor during the series' initial broadcast run.
"With Damon Wayans at the helm, My Wife and Kids is the perfect series to live alongside Nick at Nite's line-up of proven favorites that put families front and center," said Zarghami.

While raising his family in the suburbs of Stamford, Conn., Kyle uses his distinct parenting style to impart life's lessons to his three children: his only son, the rebellious but slightly dense Michael, or "Jr." (George O. Gore II), his self-absorbed, moody and adolescent daughter Claire (Jazz Raycole, later Jennifer Freeman), and his youngest wisecracking daughter Kady (Parker McKenna Posey). The series features guest stars Michael Jordan, Shaquille, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Wayne Newton and Gary Coleman. Produced by ABC Studios (formerly known as Touchstone Television) and distributed by Disney-ABC Domestic Television, the series ran in prime time on network television from March 2001 to May 2005.
My Wife and Kids has been honored with an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series (Campbell-Martin), two BET Comedy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Wayans) and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Campbell-Martin), and two People's Choice Awards for Favorite Male Performer in a New Television Series (Wayans) and Favorite Television New Comedy Series.

GOP slams Biden 'chains' remark
Vice President Joe Biden touched off an uproar when he said Tuesday Republicans would put Americans "back in chains" — a remark that drew immediate criticism from the GOP and prompted Mitt Romney to tell President Barack Obama to take his campaign of "division and anger and hate back to Chicago."
"Look at what they [Republicans] value, and look at their budget. And look what they're proposing. [Romney] said in the first 100 days, he's going to let the big banks write their own rules — unchain Wall Street," Biden said a rally in Danville, Va. "They're going to put y'all back in chains."
Story Continued Below
The comment drew a smattering of laughs and some noises from the 1,000 or so in the racially mixed crowd of supporters that appeared to be roughly half African-American.
The vice president's comment in the battleground state that Barack Obama and Biden carried in 2008 immediately drew a barrage of criticism from Republicans and later in the day from Romney himself.
At a campaign event Tuesday night in Chillicothe, Ohio, Romney said Obama's "campaign and his surrogates have made wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the Presidency. Another outrageous charge came a few hours ago in Virginia. And the White House sinks a little bit lower."
"Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago," Romney said.
Romney added, "This is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like. President Obama knows better, promised better, and America deserves better."
Earlier, the Romney camp called the Biden "chains" comment a "new low" for Obama's campaign.
"After weeks of slanderous and baseless accusations leveled against Governor Romney, the Obama Campaign has reached a new low," Romney press secretary Andrea Saul said in a statement. "The comments made by the Vice President of the United States are not acceptable in our political discourse and demonstrate yet again that the Obama Campaign will say and do anything to win this election. President Obama should tell the American people whether he agrees with Joe Biden's comments."
At a later event in Wytheville, Va., Biden brought up the attacks from the Romney campaign over his remarks.
"I am told when I made that comment earlier today in Danville, Va., the Romney campaign put out a Tweet …went on the air, went on the airwaves saying, 'Biden was outrageous in saying' — I think I said, instead of unshackled, unchained — 'outrageous to say that!" Biden said, mocking the Romney campaign.
Biden noted that Vice Presidential hopeful Paul Ryan and House Speaker John Boehner have previsouly used the word "unshackle" in talking about the economy. "The last time these guys unshackled the economy, to use their term, they put the middle class in shackles," Biden said. "That's how we got where we are."
The Obama campaign, meanwhile, did not back away from Biden's "chains" remark. Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter defended the vice president during an interview Tuesday on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," dubbing Saul's reaction "faux outrage."
"We have no problem with those comments," Cutter said.
Cutter added that Obama "probably agrees with Joe Biden's sentiments" and noted the vice president was "using a metaphor to talk about what's going to happen."
"I appreciate the faux outrage from the Romney campaign. But if you want to talk about the use of words, then take a look at Mitt Romney's stump speech where he basically calls the president 'un-American,'" Cutter said.
Cutter issued a statement later on Tuesday in an effort to clarify Biden's "metaphor."

Reverse Soft toss
This is the same as normal soft toss with a twist. Have your coach or partner who is tossing the ball move from in front of you to directly behind you. Take your normal batting stance and catch up with the ball as it comes through the zone. It will take a few to get the hang of it. You should be able to catch up with the baseball and still be able to drive it into the net. This drill is great for bat speed and hand-eye coordination

Royals ride Ventura, four sac flies to fourth straight

KANSAS CITY - If you're a Royals fan, you could be counting the ways you liked Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the Indians at Kauffman Stadium.
• Alcides Escobar charging home after the catch -- on a popup to the shortstop.View Full Game Coverage
• The Royals scoring all four runs on sacrifice flies -- the first time a winning team has done that in history.
• Yordano Ventura pitching a sweet seven innings, holding the tough Tribe to six singles and one run.
• Wade Davis escaping a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the eighth inning.
• Greg Holland notching his 19th save with help from Eric Hosmer's long-armed catch into the dugout.
Yep, it all added up to the Royals' fourth straight victory and their ninth in the last 13 games. The win slipped them into second place in the American League Central, ahead of the Indians who'd arrived with nine wins in their previous 10 games.
"It's a big deal to get back over .500," manager Ned Yost said. "It's a big deal to play good against one of our division rivals that's going to be right in it until the end."
Escobar made his mad dash to score the second run in the third inning. Omar Infante hit a pop fly that sent Indians shortstop Mike Aviles into short left field, squinting into the sun.
"I saw Aviles was struggling for a moment with the sun, and when he caught the ball and went down to the grass I said, 'I'm going because he needs to get up again and make a perfect throw,'" Escobar said. "That's a hard play."
As Aviles made the catch, he took a seat on the grass and had to throw sitting down as Escobar fled from third base.
"I had to go down because if I stayed standing up that ball was going to drop," Aviles said. "I thought it was a heads-up play on their part to take off. I just threw it in the direction of home plate and hopefully it would get there, and it just didn't pan out right."
No, because pitcher Trevor Bauer caught the ball and tried to relay to catcher Yan Gomes, but threw over his head. Escobar was safe easily.
That was just one of the four sacrifice flies. Jarrod Dyson had one earlier in the third to get Mike Moustakas home. Escobar lofted one in the fourth, scoring Salvador Perez. Then Billy Butler's fly ball got Infante home in the seventh.
That, research showed, made the Royals the only team in Major League history -- or at least since sacrifice flies became an official statistic in 1954 -- to score four or more runs all by sac flies and win the game. The Montreal Expos scored four runs by sacrifice flies in a 1980 game but lost to the Cubs, 8-4.
"It's finding ways to win a ballgame, and good teams find that way," Yost said, citing the Royals' situational hitting. "Good teams find ways to score those runs and we did it four times today."
Ventura breezed through his start, using just 85 pitches in seven innings with no walks and three strikeouts. The Indians used three singles in the sixth for their only run.
"I went out there with the mentality to throw a lot of strikes, and I was pounding the strike zone and I knew something good was going to happen if I could keep throwing strikes," Ventura said.
This was his second straight win after an elbow scare on May 26 caused him to leave a game against Houston in the third inning. Nothing serious was detected and he skipped one start as a precaution.
"He had probably one of his best games of the year, command-wise, with his fastball," Yost said. "Just really was putting it exactly where he wanted it, a power fastball, and mixed in a really good changeup and an occasional good curveball."
Now the rookie right-hander has a 4-5 record and a 3.20 ERA.
And what Davis has now is 16 straight scoreless relief appearances spanning 19 innings. And this one wasn't easy. Not after his eighth inning began with Michael Bourn's single, Lonnie Chisenhall's walk and Michael Brantley's single.
Bases jammed, no outs. Oh my. The three-run lead was in peril.
"Once I loaded 'em up, all I was thinking was, 'Well, if they score two, that's fine. If I get two sac flies, that's perfect and I can get the third out,'" Davis said. "I just kind of slowed things down in my mind and just tried to really relax, I guess."
So Davis struck out both Jason Kipnis and Carlos Santana, the 3-4 hitters, and got David Murphy to ground into the third out.
That also gave Davis 30 strikeouts in his 19 shutout innings.
"Right now he's probably the best relief pitcher in the league," Holland said.
Holland isn't doing so bad himself. He reeled off a perfect ninth for his AL best 19th save in 20 chances. Of course, he had a little help from Hosmer on the second out. The first baseman ran to the dugout tracking Jason Giambi's pop foul, reached in and almost tumbled down the steps. Somehow, he came out with the ball in the glove.
"I ran over to the dugout, just kind of stuck my glove out and got lucky," Hosmer said. "I really don't know how I caught it, it was a lucky catch."
It was just another thing for the fans to count. The Indians were doing a little assessing of the Royals as well.
"I think they're a really good team, actually they're a really difficult team to play," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "They have speed, they have pitching, a bullpen, the power's coming -- we have a lot of respect for how good they are."

Microsoft Fixes Critical Word Flaw in October Patch Tuesday
Microsoft fixed 20 vulnerabilities across seven updates in October's Patch Tuesday release. The company also released its long-promised update on how it handles digital certificates.
Microsoft released one critical bulletin addressing a flaw in Microsoft Word and six other bulletins addressing issues in Microsoft Works, SQL Server, SharePoint, and the Windows operating system, the company said in its Patch Tuesday advisory. Microsoft will also be re-releasing a few bulletins from earlier in the year to address clerical issue to fix the time stamps associated with the patches. The patches haven't changed, so administrators who've already applied the patches won't see any security impact from the re-release.
Microsoft also re-released the XML 4.0 Core Services (MS12-043) patch this month for Windows 8 users. Even though XML 4.0 is not turned on by default in Windows 8, third-party applications may install it, leading Microsoft to release the fixes ahead of time as a preventative measure.
Critical Word Flaw
Administrators should prioritize the update fixing the critical vulnerability in Microsoft Word (MS12-064), according to experts. A user opening a malicious RTF document could result in an attacker remotely executing code on an unpatched system, Microsoft said in its Patch Tuesday advisory.
This is particularly worrying since users can be exploited just by previewing the malicious file in Outlook, said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle.
Patching MSOffice typically is "painless," so there really isn't any reason to hold back on this patch, said Pierluigi Stella, CTO of Network Box USA. Microsoft patched the similar flaw in Microsoft Works, but but rated it only as important because of its much smaller install base, Stella said.
Escalation of Privilege Issues
"In general anything that allows elevation of privileges or remote code execution strikes me as critical, even if the only privilege I can obtain is the one of the user logged on to the computer. That is because far too many companies do not pay enough attention to this and end up giving admin privileges to too many users who do not really need that," Stella said.
Microsoft also fixed a cross-site scripting vulnerability in Microsoft SQL Server (MS12-070). It isn't as bad as it sounds because the flaw is in the Web interface, and not the actual database itself. An attacker could gain information about the SQL Server installation just by convincing the server administrator to click on a link containing the malicious code, according to Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Qualys.
The HTML Sanitization (MS12-066) patch fixed a cross-site scripting vulnerability in Microsoft's SafeHTML library, which is used in a wide range of Web-based collaboration products, including SharePoint, Groove, InfoPath, Lync instant messenger, and the hosted version of Microsoft Office. The flaw, if exploited, allows privilege escalation through XSS, said Rapid7's Marcus Carey.
Denial of Service
The flaw in Windows Kerberos (MS12-069) could result in a denial of service if exploited by an unauthenticated attacker on the local network, Microsoft said. However, it's worth noting that organizations should not have Kerberos ports open to the Internet. The updates should still be applied because the attack can be launched internally, but the first step is to ensure that the ports aren't Internet accessible at all.
"I would hope that no one in his right mind opens those ports to the Internet," Stella said.
Revoking the Certs
Since there was only one security bulletin in September's Patch Tuesday, hopefully IT administrators had time to prepare for the change in digital certificates, said Jason Miller, manager of research and development at VMware. The patch has been available since August, so IT administrators should have already had plenty of time to test and deploy the update. Microsoft has made the changes permanent with Security Advisory 2661254 so any digital certificates remaining that are less than 1024 bits in length would break.
Miller also noted that this month was the second time Microsoft has released a patch addressing vulnerabilities found in Oracle's software. MS12-067 addresses vulnerabilities in Oracle's Outside In libraries code, which is used in Microsoft SharePoint servers with FAST Search 2010, Miller said.

Lady Gaga, an artist not known for drawing attention to herself, is going out of character by ramping up expectations for her forthcoming album.
"I promise to give you the greatest album of this decade, just for you," she said to fans during a concert in Gdsank, Poland, by way of readying her Little Monsters for the release of Born This Way, reports Billboard.
The new album, set to take over airways in 2011, is Gaga's follow up to the massive The Fame, which cemented her as perhaps the definitive pop star of her generation. At the concert, she further elaborated on what fans should expect.
"Not for nothing, the album's finished and it's f#$king really good," she said onstage. She said that the new record is "so much deeper than a wig or lipstick or an outfit or a f#$king meat dress...Born This Way is about what keeps us up at night and what makes us afraid."
The album features some high-profile collaborations, incorporating work from old friends - such as producer RedOne - and new ones, like rock icon Elton John.
And there may be an excess of what the outrageous performer called "f#@king sledge-hammering dance" music.
"It used to be kind of a faux pas to put out too much music on your album, but I feel like you guys deserve all of the records I do because I work hard on them," she said. "So who knows? You might get, like, 20 new Gaga songs."
