So him recovering from surgery was a miracle? I suppose the doctors needn't have actually bother turning up.ReplyDelete
Again, this is anecdotal evidence, and means nothing. Fox news being all religious for no reason.
Sorry, but this whole thing just sounds like a family making shit up, writing a book, and making money.
- fiddlerNovember 15, 2010 at 3:01 PM
So a kid recovers from surgery and mentions heaven, grandpa, and St. John...ReplyDelete
And rather than explaining to the child what a dream state is or what the subconcious is, they claim it proves heaven and write a book for money...
- fiddlerNovember 15, 2010 at 3:03 PM
Oh ya, and an ancient jew from the mideast had blue eyes...ReplyDelete

If this proves one thing, and one thing only, its that dumbass yanks will buy any old bag of shite feelgood story.ReplyDelete
Yeah yeah....I knocked myself uncoscious last week, and ever since theres an invisible pink unicorn that lives in my butt and sings Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam every frickin morning. Honest! I met Ghandi as well! It must be true....Ive written a book.
Its called:
America: Dumb As Shite and Proud Of It!
Well, at least we know now that God is just a great big guy or at least has really big hands. Yeah, that's believable.ReplyDelete

As an American, I can only agree with you.ReplyDelete
What a crock of bullshit.ReplyDelete
FOX is a brainwashing channel. At least Scientologists don't pump mass media bullshit into people's homes. FOX is another such cult.
i think a large part of the fox audience are born again xians.ReplyDelete
He's got the whole world in His hands,ReplyDelete
He's got the whole world in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.
He's got my brothers and my sisters in His hands,
He's got my brothers and my sisters in His hands,
He's got my brothers and my sisters in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.
He's got the sun and the rain in His hands,
He's got the moon and the stars in His hands,
He's got the wind and the clouds in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.
He's got the rivers and the mountains in His hands,
He's got the oceans and the seas in His hands,
He's got you and he's got me in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.
He's got everybody here in His hands,
He's got everybody there in His hands,
He's got everybody everywhere in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.
WOW, incredible stupidity!ReplyDelete
Only the religious would believe a revaluation from a four year old.ReplyDelete
Just great.. A very well constructed advertisement for their book, aimed at lunatics...ReplyDelete
And ofcourse they are not selling it because they want to become millionaires (which they now inevitably will become), but because they want to share with others what they now know to be true...
Isnt this nice?
Really... I still cannot decide which are more dangerous to this world and humanity. This fanatic american Fox news evangelicals with a lot of power, or those far gone extreme muslims Al quada style which really do not have this much power... I guess I must take all the human rights violations (especially against women) in the whole muslim world, only than maybe those muslims are more dangerous, but I am still not sure. Atleast they have a reasonable excusse - Many of them still live in the 16th century, while those ~50M US evangelicals....

And a child will lead them.. and that's not a good thing.ReplyDelete
- jameslondon74November 15, 2010 at 4:45 PM
Let me get this straight. Adults listen to what a 4year old thinks he saw when he was seriously ill and close to death, and use that as proof that heaven exists?ReplyDelete
Absolutely hilarious. Oh no, this isn't a joke. This is real. Shit. That's scary.
- jameslondon74November 15, 2010 at 4:47 PM
Watching this again, it's like the kid has a gun pointed into his back.ReplyDelete
This is so obviously fake. At least, the kid is obviously lying. 'A smile that lit up the heavens', spoken as if rehearsed.
- PapertigerNovember 15, 2010 at 4:59 PM
That little kid was so full of pre-rehearsed lines it was painful to watch. Jesus: "his smile lit up the heaven" Nobody talks like that!!!ReplyDelete
Hospitalised child hallucinates. News at eleven.ReplyDelete
The kid was able to see what the adults were doing in other rooms? I want an explination or more information about that one.ReplyDelete
And the kid sounds sexually attracted to Jesus. "Rough but kind face, sea blue eyes, and a smile that lit up the heavens..."
How poetic. Uch. Why do I think he memorized that line to say whenever someone asks him to describe Jesus? No one talks like that in real life, certainly not a little boy.
He had surgery at 4, how old is he now?
I see there's a new version of raping your kids for money a la beauty pageants.ReplyDelete
You want more information? As if it might possibly be true that the son was able to see things while being totally unconscious??? lol!ReplyDelete
1) Everyone who is even moderately religious prays when their child is in grave danger and they have absolutely no power whatsoever to help. Anyone could predict that. Same with the mother being on the phone. She wants to talk it out, and familiar members are similarly distressed and it's the only way they can help--by offering support and comfort.
2) The father said "It took a long time but he started sharing stories...." The childs testimony means nothing unless you can garauntee that he never heard anyone recall what happened while he was unconscious. The fact that it took a "long time" makes that extremely unlikely. Thus, he may have not even had to guess that his father prayed. The father, or mother, or a relative could have mentioned it in passing without realizing it, in the intervening "long time". Even if they didn't directly say that the father prayed in another room, they sure as hell implied it with their belief that their son's survival was due to God's intervention. Afterall, how and why exactly would God intervene unless he was called upon by prayer of the parents?
I could go on an on about out of body experiences and the psycological motivations to deceive themselves with these stories that both the child and parents probably have, but I expect the above two points will be sufficient. This story is just like the thousands of other conclusively false stories about miracles. It is therefore unremarkable and boring to me.
- PhillisDorrisNovember 15, 2010 at 7:21 PM
I think it's really sad your not all eating this up for breakfast. Look at that child's face - if that's not a miracle of the Lord then I don't know what planet you all live on. Because it's not planet FOX.ReplyDelete
Wow, bravo. You single-handedly managed to bring the conversation down to the youtube comment "aren't Yanks all idiots" level in less than 5 posts flat. A wonderful accomplishment to which you are no doubt deeply proud. Douche.ReplyDelete
- firstname.lastname@example.com 15, 2010 at 9:23 PM
Phillis, Please read that Bible - all of it once you've blown all those years of dust off the cover. Then, if you're still Xian, read some Roman history on the pagan history of Xianity, esp. Emperor Constantine bios - the REAL father of Xianity - 325 CE.ReplyDelete

He should have told them that all the republicans were in hell.ReplyDelete
Blake, the resident Master of Youtube Logic. Are you miffed because somebody actually improved on your fave tactic and used it to say something worth thinking about?ReplyDelete
- IAMTHINGKINGNovember 15, 2010 at 10:42 PM
uh Jesus was from Middle East, so having blue eyes doesn't really fit the Middle Eastern category; and a smile that lit the heavens? LOL you're seriously going to buy that?! Why not give an extreme detail of Jesus and God than something you were told to say.ReplyDelete
Go take your Donepezil, grandpa.ReplyDelete
- francoisNovember 15, 2010 at 11:35 PM
i was thinking the exact same thing lolReplyDelete
well there you have it! That should convert all those athiest hethans that watch Fox News all the time while this story in no way is meant to reinforce christian belief.ReplyDelete
srsly though, this is about as creditable as UFOs
- Vespo McJeetersNovember 16, 2010 at 12:12 AM
When someone who's not religious sees something they didn't already know about, then that will change my mind about near death experiences.ReplyDelete
- Vespo McJeetersNovember 16, 2010 at 12:16 AM
Has anyone who's not religious that defers to science seen something they didn't already know about? Then that might change my mind about near death experiences.ReplyDelete
Considering how poorly people are taken care of here on earth it's quite an relief not to believe in any sort of after-life.ReplyDelete
I think they may be right. One night when I was drunk I passed out and had what I thought was a dream of me having sex with Scarlett Johansen- I must have died and gone to heaven. :-DReplyDelete

- jameslondon74November 16, 2010 at 7:19 AM
Fox News has sunk to an all-time low with this one. That anchorwoman has humuliated herself on the world stage.ReplyDelete
So lets look at other things children believe with all their heart, and according to Fox, we should believe: Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy, mermaids, magic and elves.
- jameslondon74November 16, 2010 at 7:25 AM
I can't actually stop watching this - it's one of the most fucked up clips i've ever seen. I love how she says 'he recovers, it's a miracle' in one swift breath. What about the doctors and nurses who actually did the work you dumbass??!!??!ReplyDelete
I am SO glad that this sort of bullshit doesn't get passed for news in my country. I actually couldn't believe it when the kid described god as being so big that he could 'fit the whole world in his hands' - obvious bullshit that he's taken literally from a metaphor in the famous hymn. People have already pointed out how ridiculous it is to state that Jesus has blue eyes - clearly influenced by western movies and art that portrays the middle eastern jewish king of the desert as a white man.ReplyDelete
In other news, your facebook login link is still broken.
Wow, bravo. You single-handedly managed to bring the conversation down to the youtube insult "grandpa" in less than one post flat. A wonderful accomplishment to which you are no doubt deeply proud. Douche.ReplyDelete
Blake: Forever Young. Forever Self Inflating.
Yeah. Religious numnuts have long time ago figured out they have to sell their BS rapped in a sheet of mysticism and poetry, which is than up for many different interpretations... The whole bible is like that... Obviously the little kid cant really describe Jesus, so what we get is this description, this answer that is really not an answer, but is perfect for wishful thinking idiots..ReplyDelete
But the main thing here is, the little kid is not the main player here. His parents are.. Perhaps he started the whole thing by saying he dreamt simething, then the whole scam was constructed by his familiy, then someone with ties to FOX news and with marketing skills and now everybody gets what they want... Jesus freaks get their Jesus proof in a book, the family gets millions of $$$, and FOX gets what they are after, political power and deluded folowers.
Is it just me or did anyone think about baloon boy? That was the first thing that came to mind when I started watching.ReplyDelete
Is it just me or did anyone else think about balloon boy? It was the first thing that came to mind when I started watching the clip.ReplyDelete
Don't use blanket statements to categorize all Americans as Xian zombies. I resent that. Some of us actually use our brains, logic and rational thought. I'm not happy about the current state of lunacy here in the U.S. but I don't subscribe to this BS either.ReplyDelete

Indoctrinated child keeps his parents happy!ReplyDelete
- Atheist WorldNovember 16, 2010 at 12:00 PM
This is despicable. These parents have no conscience. How could they put their son up to this?ReplyDelete
Dear Fox "News",ReplyDelete
I have a bridge to sell you.
As an American I HAVE to point out that at it's the bottom ~25% of idiots here that make us look this insane and horrible. About 50% of the population is decent, semi-rational, intellectually fairly lazy and confused religiously and just trying to 'get by' in a hyper-paced, hyper-connected world. About 25% of us really try to be consistenly rational, keep learning all the time, improving, and stay concerned with the state of the nation and the planet.ReplyDelete
England has their fair share of idiots from top to bottom as well. They're letting the country be ruined by being too liberal and allowing Islam to slowly take over. While America is being ruined by the conservative Christians who have gained too much power.
Note- you can also be a radical 'moderate' and feel compromise is always the best course of action -which can be ruinous when facists on either side are given any ground.
But Scientologists would LOVE to do that, so I wouldn't give them any credit at all for simply not getting there...yet.ReplyDelete
I'm pretty sure a 'revaluation' is an economic term not religious? yeeshReplyDelete
"Rough but kind face, sea blue eyes, and a smile that lit up the heavens..."ReplyDelete
Yeah, because that's how I describe people I've met too... Anyway, it must be true right?He wouldn't lie, he has no motivation to, other than getting nationwide coverage on TV. The good little Christian that he is... and its not as if anaesthetics are known to cause hallucinations... oh hang on a sec.... hahahah
What a joke, who believes this shit? *shakes head*
You insensitive clod! Some of my best friends are douches....ReplyDelete
Oh hang on a second, this is Atheist Media Blog and not Slashdot, please feel free to continue hahah
- xmaseveeveNovember 16, 2010 at 2:23 PM
BALLOON BOY -THAT"S IT! I knew this was familiar. Watch the clip again and see how the father leans towards the child, and if the child hesitates, he answers for him. Science has identified the part of the brain which causes these near-death phenomena. I don't mind religious loonies turning their backs on science - thats's their M.O. but this is psychological abuse of a child. The kid will know when he grows older.ReplyDelete
Just a word about Americans. I LOVE THEM. This is tea party stuff and we have plenty of religious nutters here in Britain too. Hey, wait - they are now in government!
This clip is like someone holding a gun to the head of someone who is talking on the phone, telling lies they are being forced to tell. I think it will make them a lot of money, but it may convert some believers to humanism.
Well, they did sell their conscience, but for millions of dollars probably... So think again.. Put in this situation, even many of us would agree to do the same thing.. To think about it, scaming those brainwashed ignoramuses kinda seems atractive in a way...ReplyDelete

That would be horribly immoral and you'd be no better than them.ReplyDelete

I think you are being too cynical. I find it hard to believe that a preacher like his father would actually lie?ReplyDelete
Well, if God has blue eyes, it certainly is possible.ReplyDelete
Really big hands. I like that.ReplyDelete
But if he is so big, how does he fit in heaven?
- AnonymousAugust 18, 2011 at 2:40 PM
I don't know what everyone here has gone through in their lives to not believe in Jesus...but I will tell you....not matters how much you don't believe....he believes in you. He still loves you. He was dragged, beaten, spit on, and crucified just so you can live and your sins can be forgiven. Receive this or not....regardless....He still thinks of you and loves you. and for those of you who hate me for saying this to you....I still love you.ReplyDelete

As described in Section 2.2, "Devices Requiring Firmware", some devices require firmware to be loaded. In most cases the device will not work at all if the firmware is not available; sometimes basic functionality is not impaired if it is missing and the firmware is only needed to enable additional features.
If a device driver requests firmware that is not available,
debian-installer will
display a dialog offering to load the missing firmware. If this option
is selected,
debian-installer will scan available devices for either loose firmware
files or packages containing firmware. If found, the firmware will be
copied to the correct location (
/lib/firmware) and
the driver module will be reloaded.
Which devices are scanned and which file systems are supported depends on the architecture, the installation method and the stage of the installation. Especially during the early stages of the installation, loading the firmware is most likely to succeed from a FAT-formatted floppy disk or USB stick. On i386 and amd64 firmware can also be loaded from an MMC or SD card.
Note that it is possible to skip loading the firmware if you know the device will also function without it, or if the device is not needed during the installation.
debian-installer only prompts for firmware needed by kernel modules loaded during
the installation. Not all drivers are included in
debian-installer, in particular
radeon is not, so this implies that the capabilities of some devices may
be no different at the end of the installation from what they were at
the beginning. Consequently, some of your hardware may not be being used
to its full potential. If you suspect this is the case, or are just
curious, it is not a bad idea to check the output of the
dmesg command on the newly booted system and search
for "firmware".
Official CD images do not include non-free firmware. The most common
method to load such firmware is from some removable medium such as a USB
stick. Alternatively, unofficial CD builds containing non-free firmware
can be found at https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/.
To prepare a USB stick (or other medium like a hard drive partition, or floppy
disk), the firmware files or packages must be placed in either the root directory
or a directory named
/firmware of the file system on
the medium. The recommended file system to use is FAT as that is most
certain to be supported during the early stages of the installation.
Tarballs and zip files containing current packages for the most common firmware are available from:
Just download the tarball or zip file for the correct release and unpack it to the file system on the medium.
If the firmware you need is not included in the tarball, you can also download specific firmware packages from the (non-free section of the) archive. The following overview should list most available firmware packages but is not guaranteed to be complete and may also contain non-firmware packages:
It is also possible to copy individual firmware files to the medium. Loose firmware could be obtained for example from an already installed system or from a hardware vendor.
Any firmware loaded during the installation will be copied automatically to the installed system. In most cases this will ensure that the device that requires the firmware will also work correctly after the system is rebooted into the installed system. However, if the installed system runs a different kernel version from the installer there is a slight chance that the firmware cannot be loaded due to version skew.
If the firmware was loaded from a firmware package,
debian-installer will also install
this package for the installed system and will automatically add the non-free
section of the package archive in APT's
This has the advantage that the firmware should be updated automatically if
a new version becomes available.
If loading the firmware was skipped during the installation, the relevant device will probably not work with the installed system until the firmware (package) is installed manually.
If the firmware was loaded from loose firmware files, the firmware copied to the installed system will not be automatically updated unless the corresponding firmware package (if available) is installed after the installation is completed.

Diabetic Neuropathy
What is diabetic neuropathy?
Diabetic neuropathy, a nerve disorder, is a complication of diabetes that can lead to problems throughout the body.
Persons with diabetes can develop nerve problems at any time, but significant clinical neuropathy can develop within the first 10 years after receiving a diabetes diagnosis. The risk of developing neuropathy increases the longer a person has diabetes. About half of people with diabetes have some form of neuropathy.
What causes diabetic neuropathy?
Although the exact causes of diabetic neuropathy are unknown, several factors may contribute to the disorder, including the following:
- high blood glucose
High blood glucose causes chemical changes in nerves and impairs the nerves' ability to transmit signals. It also has the potential to damage blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to the nerves.
- inherited factors
There are some genetic traits that may make some people more susceptible to nerve disease than others.
What are the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy?
The following are the most common symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms include:
- numbness in the hands or feet
- pain in the hands, feet, or legs
- problems with internal organs such as the digestive tract, heart, or sexual organs causing the following:
- indigestion
- diarrhea or constipation
- dizziness
- bladder infections
- impotence
- weakness
- weight loss
- depression
The symptoms of diabetic neuropathy may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
What are the different types of diabetic neuropathy?
Diffuse neuropathy is neuropathy that affects many parts of the body, and includes the following:
diffuse peripheral neuropathy - neuropathy affecting nerves in the extremities (legs, feet, arms, and hands).
Symptoms include:
- numbness
- tingling, burning, or prickling
- sharp pains or cramps
- extreme sensitivity to touch
- loss of balance or coordination
- insensitivity to pain or temperature changes
diffuse autonomic neuropathy - neuropathy that affects nerves that serve internal organs, processes, and systems of the heart, digestive system, sexual organs, urinary tract, and sweat glands.
Symptoms include:
- incontinence
- digestive problems
- low blood pressure
- dizziness
- fainting
- impaired perception of pain
- hypoglycemia
- profuse sweating
focal neuropathy - neuropathy that affects a single, specific nerve and part of the body, such as the eyes, facial muscles, hearing, pelvis and lower back, thighs, and abdomen.
Symptoms include:
- pain in the thighs
- severe pain in lower back or pelvis
- pain in the chest, stomach, or flank
- chest or abdominal pain that mimics angina, heart attack, or appendicitis
- aching behind the eyes
- inability to focus the eyes
- double vision
- paralysis on one side of face
- hearing problems
How is neuropathy diagnosed?
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, the physician may:
- check muscle strength.
- check muscle reflexes.
- check muscle sensitivity to the following:
- position
- vibration
- temperature
- light touch
- request additional tests, such as:
- nerve conduction studies (to check flow of electrical current through a nerve)
- electromyography (to determine how muscles respond to electrical impulses)
- ultrasound (to determine how parts of the urinary tract are functioning)
- nerve biopsy (to remove a sample of nerve for examination)
Treatment for neuropathy:
Specific treatment for neuropathy will be determined by your physician based on:
- your age, overall health, and medical history
- extent of the disease
- your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- expectations for the course of the disease
- your opinion or preference
The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and discomfort, as well as to prevent additional tissue damage. Treatment may include:
- pain medications
- antidepressant medications
- topical creams
- transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy
- hypnosis
- relaxation training
- biofeedback training
- acupuncture
Treatment may also be prescribed for complications of neuropathy, such as gastrointestinal problems, dizziness and weakness, and urinary or sexual problems.

They Don't Really Love Travis, They Just Keep Him Hangin' On
That isn't to say: "The Jays should use him as an asset and attempt to make a deal to get something reasonable in return." No. They shouldn't even feel as though they have that opportunity. They've morally lost all purchase over the right to determine the future of his career.
Yes, your blogging pal is arguing out of spite to make the team weaker. He's probably lost his mind.
But seriously, just let him go. Let him walk away, and go find another organization, and get the hell away from this one. Because the relationship that the Blue Jays' front office has with this particular player is a step short of abusive and a step beyond insulting.
At every opportunity throughout his professional career, the Blue Jays have made the wrong choices when dealing with the 14th pick in the 2006 draft. Move him through several levels in one year? Sure. You know they did that.
Call him up to the majors at the age of 20 because of a lack of depth in even marginally passable talent? Oh yeah, for sure. They were all over that gambit
Park him on the end of the bench to let him rot and mess up his head when he should have either been playing every day or developing his game in the minors? Thank you very much, Saint Cito.
Give him a few hundred at bats here or there, then send him back for more Pacific Coast League batting practice? They liked this joke so much, they kept repeating it.
Send him back for another cleansing season in the desert while choosing a lesser player ahead of him in a fictional left field battle? A player who could barely hang for a month and change in his "starting left field" role? Why, of course they did.
And now, when the Blue Jays are about to go into several weeks (and who knows how much longer) without the centrepiece of their offense, the brain trust chooses to promote a 21 year-old kid ahead of him. A kid who is probably getting his first shot at The Bigs at least a season too soon, but hey...what could go wrong?
Is the Anthony Gose promotion analogous to Snider's back in 2008? If you're suggesting that the general manager of the day might have demonstrated a level of overanxious zeal in moving the prospect that he acquired to the front of the line when there was an opening for an extra outfielder in a lost season so as to demonstrate that he knows what he's doing and his selection of players is better than the collection of duds left around by his predecessor, then...sorry, what was the question again?
Over the past two years, either Alex Anthopoulos or John Farrell or some combination thereof have decided that Rajai Davis, Eric Thames, Ben Francisco, Corey Patterson, Juan Rivera, Dewayne Wise, Adam Loewen and Mike McCoy were all better options than Travis Snider. And now, they've moved Anthony Gose ahead of him, presumably because Morgan Ensberg isn't picking up his picking up his phone today.
Oh, sure, they'll say how much they like Snider. They'll roll out hoary Hallmark Card platitudes about what a great player and great person he is. But when it comes right down to it, this team can always find a reason or rationale for keeping Travis Snider away, and out of their sight.
What has he done to deserve this? He allegedly failed as a major leaguer, posting a .730 OPS in 232 games, despite the fact that he was probably too young to be playing at the level. He posts a .767 OPS as a 22 year-old in 82 games in 2010, but that wasn't good enough to save his roster spot. If you tally up his last two seasons, he trudged along for a .709 OPS in 521 plate appearances. You know what Rajai Davis has posted since he's been in Toronto? A .647 OPS. In 550 plate appearances.
Does that make any sense at all to you?
Even if Snider occasionally shows signs of success in Las Vegas - .959 OPS in 787 plate appearances - it's dismissed by virtue of the fact that it's Vegas. Effectively, the Blue Jays have set up a scenario where Snider can't possibly succeed. All he can do is toil and wait. And wait. And wait.
Maybe people will be too thrilled by the appearance of the new guy to cast a thought towards Travis Snider in the next few days. Maybe this is Gose's time, and Jays fans should feel some excitement at seeing the future of the franchise today. That's one way of looking at it.
There's also a pretty bright future that's worth considering for the player this blog once named the Great Big Giant Pasty White Hope. It's clear that it won't be as a Blue Jay.
So let him go.

Or, you know, they're trying to do the exact opposite of what you're accusing them of. Keeping him at one level for an entire year, for once. Just a thought.

- July 17, 2012 at 7:21 PM
This was the perfect opportunity to call him up for the rest of the year, give him a two month lead in to take the job next spring and hold it for good, ala what they said/wanted Thames to do. Fuck.
- July 17, 2012 at 7:22 PM
I saw a comment at DJF that made a ton of sense. It was suggested that Gose thinks he's ready and this is to show him just how much more he needs to learn. The glove is ready so we're taking an offensive hit but we were going to anyway.
It's also a vote of confidence in Jose that his injury isn't serious. I think AA really doesn't want to jerk Travis around any more and a quick recovery would do just that.
Now, if Francisco gets moved and he's still not called up, then I'll join you on this train.
- July 17, 2012 at 7:35 PM
I think Tao is being too emotional here - understanable. Jose on 15 day DL makes this likely a platoon sort of fill in role for two weeks, which is a good looksie for Gose considering he can't hit lefties...at least so far.
i think the real gauge will be the trade deadline and whether they are buyers or sellers. Personally, I'd like to see them sell Johnson, Davis and/or Francisco...and maybe Frasor and/or Oliver if they can secure decent value in return. the moves would not eliminate them from contending if they get some starting pitching back via trade and Morrow returning. A playoff chase with Snyder and Gose would give the core unit valuable experience together and possibly add some needed energy as Lawrie did last year during the dog days of summer.
- July 17, 2012 at 7:46 PM
MK and James Dailey, IF Jose is only out 15 days, wouldn't it be easy to shift Snider to his position at left and finally get Davis back to his bench role? Davis started hot, but is not an everyday player in left and now is the time to see if Snider can do that. Not Gose, who if he somehow can hit would only be able to play centre with the line he would have...
- July 17, 2012 at 7:52 PM
Hello Zach, I think you are conflating two separate issues. Jose's injury requires a short term replacement, which I think giving Gose a taste makes sense.
Whether or not Snyder should replace Davis in left is a separate issue. I think he should, but I think part of Davis playing is to showcase him in order to deal him. He could be an attractive piece for contending teams looking for speed off the bench - especially national league teams. Given the close proximity to the trade deadline, it makes sense to me not to bench Davis as your GM is trying to trade him.
Of course, if they don't deal Davis then I will be 100% in favor of Snyder being inserted as LF for the rest of the season the day after the trade deadline.
- July 17, 2012 at 8:35 PM
While Snider's last 10 games prior to the Gose call-up (July 2-14) have seen 11 walks drawn, he has only managed 3 extra base hits in his 49 plate appearances. OBP is nice, but he isn't really swinging it.
Consistant with all that AA has said all season, they want to bring him up to STAY, and would love to call him up when he's HOT, which his bat hasn't been over the last 10 games prior to the call up.
I love the kid, but there are tons of forces at play (too much up and down traffic in his pro career, showcasing Gose perhaps, sheltering Snider from MLB pitchers until his bat heats, ect.) which don't lead me believe that they have given up on him.
I feel your heartache in the writing though. I still think he'll be a great MLBer one day.
- July 18, 2012 at 1:34 AM
I'll be shocked if Bautista is back in 15 days, wrist things for power hitters are scary. If they do trade Rajai and thats what this next few weeks are about awesome, but I don't think he has been helping that trade value his last couple weeks in left.
- July 18, 2012 at 1:46 AM
I kind of agree. I'm just sick of the whole Travis Snider saga, tbh. Bring him up and leave him, or deal him.
For what it's worth, before the Chisox game on the Sunday before the ASB, Zaun said he thinks the Jays are "done with Snider", in those exact words.
- July 18, 2012 at 10:00 AM
Disagree mightily. This year is all about Snider finding himself at AAA. And I don't read into PCL numbers very much. If he's a great major leaguer, it very well might have been this year, at AAA, where he learned how to do it. Why let him walk now? He's out of options next year so that's when the decision has to be made. Next year is when he gets his major league shot or else he's traded or yes, allowed to walk.

I'm so flummoxed by the Travis Snider situation that I really don't know what to say.
Gose being recalled a mere days after AA insisted he would spend the year in Vegas (and maybe next) is... peculiar?
Fuck me, I'm lost on this one.
- July 18, 2012 at 10:14 AM
I couldn't agree more. I'm becoming quite frustrated in this organization and the way they treat their young players. AA keeps trying to compare the organization to the way Tampa Bay is run, but Tampa Bay actually gave their players a chance to play and grow over the course of several seasons, which included years of struggling.
Instead, as Farrell has said, the Jays bring up players who are "hot" right then, even though they know their groove won't last. They've done this with every replacement picture they used so far. Whoever is getting into a groove, is the best choice. Farrell has said they want pitchers who will put up 0s on the board. This would be nice of course, but it's not going to come from Double A players who are on a hot streak.
So, it's not just limited to Snider. It's organization wide.
- July 18, 2012 at 10:38 AM
An over-reaction? Perhaps. But there are hints of truth throughout. Giving AA the benefit of the doubt, I feel this move is not as damning as it looks. The one thing Snider has missed out on is continuity. He's bounced around, up, and down. It was clear in the previous two year that he had developmental gaps and AA wanted him to work closely and for a significant amount of time with Mottola in Las Vegas.
As such, this is not the opportunity to promote him. Gose is getting a small taste as are many many many others. Snider has had that taste and it is not important to his progress. A two week (or so) call-up to replace Bautista does nothing for him. It does a lot for Gose who, when Bautista returns, will go back to Vegas and likely get called up in September again. Gose will likely not make the team out of Spring Training in 2013 barring any spot opening up via a trade.
I was upset, too, at this recent move of selecting Gose over Snider but AA is doing the smart thing. When Snider gets the call, he will not be dicked around anymore. AA is trying to undo the mess as best as he can.
- July 18, 2012 at 11:07 AM
I'm with MK and James, mostly. I think it makes sense to bring up Gose for a taste of the Majors for the short term until Bautista returns. It would be deja vu all over again to bring Snider up for a few weeks then (likely) send him back down again. And I'm not disputing that they really mishandled him the last few years. But I actually give them credit for trying to rectify the situation.
The Jays have consistently said they wanted to let Snider work on his game in AAA this year, and I actually applaud them for sticking with it.
I fully anticipate that Snider will be the starting LF next year, and he'll have the opportunity to show if he belongs or not. An outfield of Snider-Rasmus-Bautista is pretty enticing.*
*Barring a trade for, say, Upton. Then by all means, it would be time to #freeSnider and trade him.
Just a wee bit more patience!
Love the passion. Go Jays!

This is a revolting blog post. I'd expect something like this out of a childhood friend of Snider's, but not a professional blogger who aspires to write good content on the Blue Jays.
He's been wronged? Really? The kid who was drafted in the first round and made a very rich man. Fast tracked to the big leagues and paid a major leaguers wage at age 20, when most of his peers are held back to preserve options and avoid super two status. And you suggest that Cito Gaston was picking on him.
The same kid who at age 20 told coaches not to talk to him during games. despite early struggles. The same kid who struck out again and again. Breaking bats over knees and wearing his frustration on his sleeve. Major indicators that Snider had some major growing up to do. In a non-professional athlete role, you get fired for telling your boss to beat it.
The majority of Snider fanboys suggest giving him 600 PA regardless of outcome for his development sake. Ignoring that his teammates badly want good results for the Jays, and a struggling Snider will keep them from those.
Snider has greatly improved his attitude, and a very poorly timed injury set back what could have been his big chance. But you have to realize, he just hasn't been very good since returning from his wrist injury. Calling him up now, when he's striking out 1 or 2 times every game in AAA is a death wish.
Snider can keep waiting, keep improving his game at AAA, and when he finally shows he's ready to stay in the big leagues, he will. His inability to stick in the show is not because the Jays have wronged him, but because he hasn't hit well enough to justify a full-time job. Go hit, Travis. Hit so well they can't possibly keep you down.

Would love to see the Sniderman back in the majors! Dude needs another chance, but fun to see what Gose can do for awhile. Man's like the Flash out there!

- Roberto said...
The thing is, we don't know what the story is behind the scenes. On the surface, there's no reason for Snider to sit in Vegas while Gose is called up.
I'd like to believe that sometime in the spring, AA sat down with Snider and explained "look, we know we messed up in the past. We're going to let you spend a year in AAA with no distractions. Just hit. Don't worry about making the team." That would explain why Snider hasn't been called up, and it would also explain why Snider has been so sanguine about others (Thames, Gose) getting promoted ahead of him.
That's pure guesswork on my part, of course. But the point is, we don't know why Snider is stuck in AAA, and that's as good a reason as any. If nothing else, it makes more sense than the idea that the normally pretty sharp AA has suddenly decided to ignore his most advanced AAA hitter.
- July 19, 2012 at 8:18 PM
I hope Snider turns into Mike Trout with another organization.

I believe Travis Snider has made peace with where he is. That's all that he needs. He will succeed wherever he ends up, whenever it happens. That's why he's been successful in Vegas this year.
I don't think that Tao is at peace with it though, which makes it seem worse than it is. Brandon Belt rides the pine in SF, and those fans wonder what it is all about, too.
Sometimes, you are Mike Trout. Sometimes you are Travis Snider. There is no crime here, only a little hiccup in an imperfect world.

Jays Trade Away Francisco and Call up Travis Snider.

He may be young, but Gose has 500 minor league games, including over 200 at AA and AAA with 1,000 PA. Probably not a bad time right now to evaluate how far away he still is.

As I understand it, there are rules in baseball and those decree that if you bring Travis up even once this year, next year you can't send him down without exposing him to waivers. So you'd best be certain he really is ready. Apparently the brass is sure now.
The only reasonable rant here would be against the rule, not against blue jay management which has sanely responding to this stricture. And the rule is probably sensible enough.

One Fatally Struck in Pedestrian Crash on East U.S. Highway 290 in Austin
Austin, TX. (June 9, 2023)- One person was killed in an auto-pedestrian crash on June 1, 2023, in Austin, Texas. The accident occurred shortly before 9:30 p.m. in the 6100 block of the East U.S. Highway 290 service road. Police reported that the victim was struck by an eastbound pickup truck. The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene. No further details have been provided at the time. The crash remains under investigation.
We would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family of the deceased. Our thoughts are with them at this time.
Pedestrian Accidents in Texas
According to statistics published by the Texas Department of Transportation, approximately 3,700 people lose their lives in collisions across our state each year. Sadly, over 600 victims are pedestrians traveling by foot outside of vehicles.

In some cases, surviving relatives can contact a wrongful death attorney in Texas to get justice.

By NANCY BENAC
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — He bobbled the spelling, but President Barack Obama had nothing but R-E-S-P-E-C-T for the "women of soul" who shook and rattled the rafters of the White House on Thursday night.
"What a lineup!" Obama declared at the outset of a concert that featured a generations-spanning array of soul singers that stretched from musical legends Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle to 20-year-old Ariana Grande.
Obama paid tribute to Franklin for turning her signature song "Respect" into "a rallying cry for African-Americans, women and then everyone who felt marginalized."
The pumped-up audience gave a hearty laugh but was more than willing to forgive the president for spelling it "R-S-P-E-C-T."
First up in the East Room lineup was LaBelle, with a thundering delivery of "Over the Rainbow" that had the audience on its feet.
It was a mutual admiration society of sorts as LaBelle thanked the Obamas for their tenure in the White House, declaring, "Baby, you got swag!"
Grande, the youngster in the group, seemed in awe of her fellow performers and the august audience. Her lead-in: "What's up? How are you? Good to see you. Thank you for having me."
The emotional high point came when Franklin, 71, sauntered in, gave a shimmy and declared "Let's have a party." Then she went right into "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" She was back later to close down the show with what Obama called "one more treat," — a slow, soulful rendition of "Amazing Grace" that turned rowdy at the end.
But first, all the other ladies — including Melissa Etheridge, Janelle Monae, Jill Scott and Tessanne Chin — collaborated on a rollicking delivery of "Proud Mary."
The concert was livestreamed at WhiteHouse.gov/live and will be broadcast as "In Performance at the White House: Women of Soul" on April 7 on PBS.
At a morning arts workshop for high school and college students, first lady Michelle Obama called soul "the kind of music that makes you move, no matter who you are or where you come from."
LaBelle, Etheridge and Monae had plenty of stories and advice to share with the students, then got them whooping, hooting and swaying with a trio of songs in the intimate venue of the State Dining Room.
Mrs. Obama quoted LaBelle as once saying that she had succeeded because she "took chances and sang my butt off."
The first lady tried her own riff on that advice — then admitted she may have taken it a little too far.
"Find your own voice and be proud of it," she said. "And then, sing your butt off. Or work your butt off. Or whatever you do, do it until your butt comes off. "
Then she added: "OK, that quote is going to be kind of funny in the papers. I already know it. My communications people are like, `What?' But you guys all know what I meant — be good at what you do. "
The concert was scheduled as part of Women's History Month.
Said the president: "As someone who always shares this house with brilliant, creative, talented, somewhat stubborn women, I think Women's History Month is the perfect time to honor a few more: the women of soul."

Slime mold development video by John Tyler Bonner
This video is composed of a sequence of time lapse films created by John Tyler Bonner in the 1940s to show the life cycle of the cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum. As only the second person to study slime molds, Bonner frequently encountered audiences who had never heard of, let alone seen, the unusual organism. He therefore decided to create a film to present at seminars in order to introduce his object of study. Bonner created the video for his senior thesis at Harvard University with the help of photographer Frank Smith.

United Airlines said today that it will honor the tickets it accidentally gave away for free.
The decision is good news for people who snapped up the tickets on Thursday after United listed airfares at $0. Many customers got tickets for $5 or $10, paying only the cost of the Sept. 11 security fee.
The mistake was an especially good deal for any passengers who bought tickets for travel within the next week. For instance, a Houston-to-Washington Dulles flight for next weekend would have cost $877, according to United's website today.
Airlines have posted so-called mistake fares before. They generally decide on a case-by-case basis whether they'll honor the ticket. United Continental Holdings Inc. said today it was honoring the tickets "based on these specific circumstances." On Thursday, United said there was an error in filing the fares to its computer system.
United would not say how many tickets it accidentally gave away, or how much the mistake cost. The wrong fares were available on its website for a few hours on Thursday. It eventually shut down bookings on the website until it could fix the problem.
Some passengers bought their tickets for flights today, and then immediately checked in online and printed their boarding passes, figuring that would give them their best chance of being able to use their ticket.
Mike Nehmer bought a ticket for him and his wife to fly from Houston to San Francisco today. But he chickened out after a United agent told him that his ticket would be rejected at the gate. He ended up changing his ticket to December.
"I decided it wasn't in my best interest to show up and be denied at the gate," he said. "I have a pretty unhappy wife, too."
