2008-10-04 13:33:00 Help us, Rich. You're our only hope. Lou is done with verbal communication From the Daily Herald: "This is not time for words anymore. This is time to go out on the field and play to the best of your ability and relax and get the job done. "That's it. It's simple. You go out there and you play the best you possibly can, and you win, and you play on Sunday. And if you don't, as long as you played a good baseball game, that's all you can expect." Unfortunately, Ryan Theriot didn't get the memo: "Our mind-set is we're down two games, and we have to win," shortstop Ryan Theriot said. No shit!? Now, back to Lou: "I've tried to downplay these playoffs where everybody says World Series and this and the other," he said, referring to the notion that the Cubs' year is a disappointment if they don't reach or win the World Series. "I've tried to downplay that. You've got to play on the field. "Forget all the talking, pep talks and conversations and everything else. You go out and ...

2008-10-03 12:50:00 Carl goes to bed, Cubs don't come back From the Daily Herald: The defense let starting pitcher Carlos Zambrano down, committing 2 errors in the Dodgers' 5-run second inning, with DeRosa and first baseman Derrek Lee committing miscues. Third baseman Aramis Ramirez, who refused to talk after the game, committed a harmless error in the fourth. Shortstop Ryan Theriot completed the dubious cycle with an error in the ninth. "I don't think you can win 97 ballgames playing that way," Piniella said. "It wasn't good baseball. In fact, the last two days, they've probably been the two worst games we've played all year from a walking and errors standpoint. It wasn't fun to watch, I can tell you that." Soriano to nay-sayers: "You're right!" From the Daily Herald: "When I swing at strikes, I hit the ball hard," Soriano said. "When I don't hit the ball hard is when I swing at bad pitches. I want to be more selective at home plate, swing at strikes and see what happens." Soriano flied to ...

2008-10-01 13:45:00 I'm late for work, so you get seriously stunted headlines. Hope you can find something to talk about. Cubs pick up Lou's 2010 option From the Daily Herald: Lou Piniella the retiring type? Hardly. Less than a week after speculation surfaced in New York that Piniella may retire as Cubs manager if they win the World Series, the Cubs on Tuesday picked up their club option on Piniella for the 2010 season. Piniella, 65, signed a three-year, $10 million deal in the fall of 2006. The option year is worth $4 million. "When (team chairman) Crane Kenney talked about a possible extension a few weeks ago, what they were talking about was picking up the option," Piniella said. "That's what they did. I'm thankful, and I look forward to a couple more years here."

2008-09-30 15:20:00 Bruce Miles gets top spot because he starts his article with a Harry Caray quote From the Daily Herald: When legendary broadcaster Harry Caray sensed that the home team was in trouble, he'd bellow, "There's danger here, Cherie." The Cubs aren't in trouble. With the best record in the National League, they'll be favored to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League division series, which begins Wednesday evening at Wrigley Field. So where's the danger? But the Dodgers present danger on several fronts. Here is a look at some of those areas and how the Cubs can ward off that danger: The Manny factor: Left fielder Manny Ramirez remains one of the most dangerous hitters in the game, and he has 24 postseason home runs. When the Dodgers traded for Ramirez on July 31, they were hoping for an offensive spark. That's just what they got, as Ramirez hit 17 homers, drove in 53 and batted .396 with a .489 on-base percentage and a .743 slugging percentage in 54 games. To avoid the ...

2008-09-29 11:01:00 I couldn't resist Cubs let Brewers make postseason I wonder if this is an attempt to further ruin the pitching arms of Ben Sheets and CC Sabathia. From the Daily Herald: The Cubs went with a pitcher-by-committee system, and it didn't work out badly until late in the game. Angel Guzman started and pitched 2 scoreless innings. The Cubs got an unearned run against Sabathia in the second. Cubs reliever Michael Wuertz walked in a run in the seventh. Howry gave up a one-out single to Mike Cameron in the eighth. After Ray Durham flied out, Braun crushed the first pitch over the wall in left. "No, I was just trying to hit the ball hard," Braun said when asked if he was thinking homer. "We've just got to find a way to continue to play." All in all, Cubs manager Lou Piniella said he was pleased with the overall effort of his pitchers. The Cubs finished the season with a record of 97-64, the first time the Cubs have posted a 97-win season since the 1945 pennant winners went 98-56. "Our kid...

"We'll get everything back in place. We're doing the best we can, but right now, you've got to have a little patience." There were a couple of things that had Piniella concerned: ? Catcher Geovany Soto left the game in the sixth inning when he fouled off a pitch. He felt some pain in his troublesome left hand but later said he was fine and that he could play this weekend. ? The bullpen got a bit of a beating. Sean Marshall (3-5) took the loss. Jeff Samardzija gave up a single that allowed a run to score. And most worrisome for Piniella, Chad Gaudin balked and gave up a 3-run homer to Rickie Weeks in the seventh inning. "We've been trying to get Gaudin ready for postseason, and that's not coming along very well," Piniella said. And from theTrib: "We had a balk, a catcher's interference, bad baser...

2008-09-26 13:46:00 HoffPOWER From the Daily Herald: The Cubs claim they still have questions heading into the playoffs. They may have found one answer Thursday night in Micah Hoffpauir. Even though the Cubs suffered a 7-6, ninth-inning loss to the New York Mets at rainy Shea Stadium, manager Lou Piniella was gushing about the performance of Hoffpauir, who may have sewn up a spot on the roster for the division series. The 28-year-old rookie went 5-for-5, including his first 2 major-league home runs. Hoffpauir also doubled home a run and singled twice, driving in 5 runs. "Impressive," said Piniella, who always perks up when a young player hits. "We're looking, we really are. We're looking for a couple spots. We're looking for a little offense. Put it this way: He'll be in the lineup tomorrow in Milwaukee." Hoffpauir was the Cubs' minor-league player of the year. He had cups of coffee with the big club earlier this year, and he didn't want to get ahead of himself about the postseason. "I'm not go...

"In the next inning, he wasn't throwing the ball nearly as well. What do I think? I give it mixed reviews. "He's healthy. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt that he needs work, that he's rusty. I wish that today were Tuesday so we could pitch him again on Sunday. But we don't have that option." Piniella then launched into a critique. "I wish he would quit fighting himself out there, just relax and pitch and have some fun. You know? He gets angry when he doesn't do what he expects to do, and it detracts from his ability. I've tried to tell him that so many times. He understands when I tell him, and I think he forgets when he pitches." Zambrano concurred with his boss. "I agree," he said. "I agree with that. I think I have to relax and have fun and win my games. I think that's one thing I have to correct in ...

2008-09-23 14:03:00 Hey, we won! And not only was Marquis not completely useless, he was kinda helpful. Oh, and we clinched homefield advantage Marquis, who once again will be the odd man out in a playoff rotation, was a one-man demolition crew Monday night in the opener of a four-game series at Shea Stadium, the Cubs' last before the orange-and-blue monstrosity will be destroyed. He smashed a grand slam during a six-run fourth inning that sent him to his 11th win and the Cubs to a 9-5 victory, assuring the Lou Crew of home-field advantage throughout the National League playoffs. "It's a step," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "It's an important step. You can see that home field has been very important all year." And aaaaaahhhhh, sweet, sweet karma (not irony, Alanis. See the difference?) The Mets, in danger of a second straight late-season collapse, dropped 21/2 games behind Philadelphia in the NL East and had their wild-card lead reduced to one game over Milwaukee.

National Hunting and Fishing Day Open House at Beagle Wear
2008-09-23 02:57:00 Fishing and hunting are a big part of Vermont's heritage. For most native Vermonters, hunting is a tradition going back generations. There are many people here who take a week or two of vacation each year to go deer hunting. The regional radio station, WDEV, even broadcasts a few minutes each morning from a deer camp nearby once deer season opens. VT deer hunting season is coming in the near future and the timing of the National Hunting and Fishing Day is well placed. To celebrate, Beagle Outdoor Wear is holding its annual open house at its store in Johnson VT , about 45 minutes north of us. The event goes from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and features some of the northeast's best hunters such as the Benoit Brothers and Bob Howe from Maine's Pine Grove Lodge. Everyone is invited to this family event especially young people and adult newcomers who are interested in learning more about outdoor sports and how hunting and fishing affect Vermont’s wildlife.Also attending the event will be ...

2008-09-22 13:29:00 From the Sun-Times: Cubs not putting crappy team out there every day. The lineup will look different tonight when the Cubs open a four-game series in New York. ''We're going to play a regular lineup,'' Piniella said. ''We'll have to play as representative a team as we can. I can't let all these [regular] guys sit.'' Piniella understands the integrity issue involving the playoff races, but he has other reasons for spacing out rest for his players. Decisions have yet to be made about the playoff roster, and the starting rotation carries questions of a different sort -- such as, will Carlos Zambrano or Dempster be the Game 1 pitcher? ''I'm not making any comment as to what our rotation will be,'' Piniella said flatly. What is certain is that the starters will be shortened in each of their last regular-season turns. Dempster threw only 67 pitches Sunday, with his next start scheduled for Friday in Milwaukee. From the Trib: Phil tells us what we already know. The Cubs mi...

2008-09-20 10:00:00 Zambrano throws yes-hitter From the Trib: Cubs manager Lou Piniella had to walk a fine line Friday. On one hand, he expressed sympathy to starting pitcher Carlos Zambrano, whose grandmother died this week, forcing Zambrano to make a quick trip to Venezuela on Wednesday. He returned Thursday. On the other hand, Piniella wasn't pleased with Zambrano's comportment as he tried to remove Zambrano from the game after just 1 innings on the way to a 12-6 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field. As Piniella neared the mound, Zambrano began to walk off, a no-no in Piniella's and most managers' worlds. "It's not the easiest thing in the world," Piniella said of Zambrano's situation. "I didn't get him in trouble out there. All I expect when I take a pitcher out of a ballgame is wait and stay on the mound, give me the baseball. No more and no less." So Z, what have you to say for yourself? For his part, Zambrano was making his first start since no-hitting the Astros on Sunday ni...

2008-09-19 12:46:00 Chicago Cubs: Great team, or the greatest team? From the Daily Herald: Wrigley Field, a place that had just been partying like it was 1999, suddenly was nearly void of noise. Out of the dugout popped Cubs manager Lou Piniella for a quick chat. "Lou went out there and asked Kerry what he wanted to do," Soto said. Their conversation went something like this: "I'll get three strikeouts," Wood told his skipper. "No, just get three groundballs," Piniella said. End of discussion. And three batters later, it was end of threat. And a few minutes after that it was end of game as Derrek Lee drove in pinch runner Jason Marquis with a single to center to cap a crazy day that saw the Cubs' magic number to capture the NL Central crown reduced to 2, courtesy of their 7-6 win. "The beauty of baseball is you never know what's going to happen until that final out," Piniella said. "It was a heck of a ballgame, and I can say that because we won. "It's uplifting to us and it's deflating to the oth...

2008-09-18 12:22:00 Cubs don't want to clinch at home From the Daily Herald: Marquis, who was coming off 3 quality starts in a row, hadn't pitched since Sept. 6, and it looked like it took him awhile to get fully with the program. So did the long layoff hurt Marquis? "I knew you were going to ask that," Piniella said to a reporter. "Look, I don't know if it did or not. But the 2 walks didn't help." Piniella was talking about back-to-back walks in the first inning that preceded a 3-run double by Prince Fielder. Marquis and Piniella more or less peacefully coexist, and that's about it. When it comes time to skip somebody in the rotation for something other than health reasons, No. 5 starter Marquis usually is the guy. "Like I say, any starter will tell you they like the routine of getting the ball every five days," Marquis said. "Sometimes outside circumstances don't allow it. You've got to deal with it. You've got to find a way to still go out there and make pitches. "It took me a few hitters t...

2008-09-17 12:29:00 Cubs get to CC, hold on late From the Daily Herald: The Cubs hit Sabathia hard early, handing the Milwaukee ace his first National League loss after 9 wins. "I think we have to feel very special because everybody knows who CC is and what he has done in the National League," Alfonso Soriano said. The Cubs scored once in the first on doubles by Soriano and Derrek Lee. It became 3-0 in the third on singles by Ryan Theriot and Lee, followed by Aramis Ramirez's line 2-run double into the left-field corner. Soriano's line drive home run to left in the seventh off Sabathia made it 4-2, and the Cubs got a big insurance run in the eighth on pinch hitter Henry Blanco's RBI single. Prince Fielder hit 2 home runs for the Brewers but struck out looking at a wicked Kerry Wood slider in the ninth inning with the tying run at third. "I don't think anybody could have hit that pitch, not after four (fastballs) at 97," Lee said. "I think I kind of got away with one there," Wood said. "It looked l...
Be the Change - Tackling Open Source in Government
2008-09-16 16:01:00 At Quirk we have three types of individuals – the completely non-tech (Kelly), the medium tech (Darryn) and the super-hardcore-I-think-in-code- tech (Java Coders like Jean).

But this definitely twanged something inside of me (medium tech) and might just have sent me into the crazy echelons of “I-think-in-code” geekiness.

From the Daily Herald: Lilly joked Sunday about the tough act he had to follow, and for a while it looked like his stuff was good enough for the Cubs to make it two no-hitters in two days. As it was, the Cubs set a major-league record. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the 1 hit is the fewest allowed by one team over two games in baseball history. Lilly admitted to thinking about the no-hitter. "About in the sixth," he said. "I knew even at that point there was a lot of work to do. It doesn't get any easier the closer you get. I had fun out there. I made pitches. Guys made some great plays and made it interesting." Of greatest interest to the Cubs was the job they did in this makeup series, which became necessary because Hurricane Ike blew through Houston over the weekend.

From the Daily Herald: Zambrano pitched the first no-hitter for the Chicago Cubs in 36 years, returning from a sore rotator cuff to shut down the Houston Astros 5-0 Sunday night in a game relocated because of Hurricane Ike. "I guess I'm back!" Zambrano woofed. Pitching for the first time since Sept. 2, and cheered on by thousands of Cubs fans, Zambrano stopped a Houston team that had not played since Thursday. The storm forced baseball to move two games from Texas to Miller Park and the weary Astros arrived only hours before the first pitch. The Cubs, meanwhile, faced a short bus ride. Plenty of their faithful followed them up I-94, once again turning the Brewers' ballpark into "Wrigley North." This was baseball's first neutral-site no-hitter, the Elias Sports Bureau said. "It was a long travel day and Hurricane Ike," Astros manager Cecil Cooper said. "That's what I put... |
