Don't eat at Dempsey's or Benchwarmers.
I realize that doing the Fat Chick is on our list, but the owner of Benchwarmers is a dick. I called to ask if he could spare 15 minutes for a photojournalism assignment I had, making a portrait of a local restuarant owner. Other people in the class got great responses, some even got free food. But Tom, Benchwarmers' owner, just said, "I'm not interested, I don't have any time." then he hung up. He also turned us down for A Commons' Cause last semester. I don't understand why he keeps trying to alienate college students, who make up his prime costumer base. Whatever
You'd think that Dempsey's, which I'd never even heard of before class, would be happy for a little extra promotion. They weren't. They were rude. And I bet their food sucks too, stay away from there.
As for the Fat Chick, I realize this presents a problem. Maybe we should do it and then walk out on the bill.
Fuck Tom.

(Boxed) Wine and (Nachos with) Cheese Party
You are cordially invited to attend a soiree of epic proportions... this Friday 613 will play host to the first ever (I think) Boxed Wine and Nachos with Cheese Party.
Linda Geiger picked up 2 tubs of cheese (each weighing more than 6 pounds) and two big bags of chips which she supplied me with over this past weekend. We're going to grab some cheap platters/trays and get plastic bowls to place in the middle of each tray and fill up with microwavable cheese (is your mouth watering yet?). We're still considering just how many boxes of wine to pick up. I'm thinking we need at least ten, just to be safe. Maybe if people come in groups of 5 or more, they could bring along an extra box-o-wine and add to the surplus. We'll probably have like 3 or 4 boxes out at all times. Everyone will be equipped with a cheap, plastic wine glass.
Attire is formally casual... which is to say, a little bit of class but still retaining the cheapness that both boxed wine and nacho cheese have come to represent. I'm thinking about wearing a button-down shirt and tie, dress pants, and flip-flops. We might have an official CD for the party: pop tracks layed over classical music... Jer is pretty busy but he might be able to bang it out for us.
The event will take place from 10:30 pm - ??? (maybe 613 club, I don't know). I will be supplying orange soda for those who are interested in partaking in some delicious "tinto verano" (a popular Spanish drink, typically consumed at the beach, which calls for 12 oz red wine, 2 oz orange soda, and a little bit of ice). If guests do bring their own alcohol, we are urging them to only bring boxed wine, but if someone gets physically ill on account of the stuff, or if they just put up a big fight, I guess it would be okay for them to bring their own liquor/beer.
If you have any suggestions/additions/party planning ideas/potential conflicts/etc... toss 'em in the ring.
Alright good stuff. You stay quasi-classy 613. Spread the word.

This Past Weekend
This weekend was reasonably productive. Although 613 was without one of its most motivated members (Rand) we were still able to accomplish three tasks from the To-Do list.
Friday night seven people went to chilis and order different variations of their excellent Chipotle burger. I ordered mine with no bacon and no tomatoes and Bry had is with chicken instead of beef. Our waiter was a superhero. He actually goes to Chilis restraints for their openings to make sure they run smoothly. Needless to say, he perfectly executed our order, replaced our waters without asking, and received an excellent tip. A chilis insider revealed that he actually complained about our annoying and absurd request of 7 chipotle burgers.
At ten, we did Edward Forty Hands for the first time. Surprise Surprise Lim finished first, mark finished second and Tinalolina quickly followed. Most of us went down to the bars, and ate pizza where we saw 613's favorite lady.
After the bars: In the battle against 416 we ransacked their house, responding to their theft of bry's mets hat. The war is still tame but I imagine it will start to get interesting.
Late night, on a technicality, we actually completed one of the more difficult task. In a game of Halo at Tony's house Mark killed Lucas in the video game. Because that's as close as we are going to get, we voted to count it.
On Saturday, we went to Isabelle's. Some hightlights: pissing Russell off, Gul, Lauren Romeo getting drunk on hatorade
Great quote from the All-star game: Chales Barkley on Beyonce Knowles "If you see a woman that pretty how can you go see brokeback mt.
Also, some unnamed asshole puked in Shark and Petri.

Biting the Bullet
The day has finally arrived.
I had always hoped it would never come to this.
I had always hoped that this would only persist to exist in our memories.
But no.
The documentation of the events of that one fateful weekday evening of boredom and complete spontaneity from way back in the Fall of 2003 has once again surfaced.
After much deliberation and the painful realization that this would eventually find its way onto this blog once the word spread, I have decided to take my own fate into my own hands and post it here myself.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with a heavy heart that I present to you...

A whole new ballgame in '06
Feb. 12
In the Northeast, there is little to do but stay inside and read Doris Kearns Goodwin's monumental biography of Abraham Lincoln. It is the definitive study of learning, and in its own way a manual for all general managers torn between doing the right and the popular. Meanwhile, outside is a reminder why it is a good time for pitchers and catchers to report -- from Tucson, Ariz., to Winter Haven, Fla. This spring, there is a lot that's new, a list that for the fifth straight spring training does not include an owner for the ExpoNationals. First, we have the World Baseball Classic, a terrific idea for the game's worldwide marketing. We are constantly reminded that the event has no perfect formula. As rosters are constructed piecemeal, one suggestion is to focus less on who may be coming up sore (players do get hurt every spring) or why South Africa is in, and focus more on this initial WBC being a trial run that eventually will be more significant in growing the Asian, Latin and European markets than any U.S. television ratings will demonstrate in the shadow of March Madness. Next, we have the continued specter of weaning the sport off the steroids of the '90s and the amphetamines of the last 50 years. Medical friends remind me that the chemists who create the designer drugs make a lot more money than those who devise the tests, so don't expect the prototypical body to belong to John McDonald. As for amphetamines, some have suggested that we will see a lot of 2-1 games in August. Jayson Stark thinks we may see Starbucks and Peet's in every clubhouse, and we shall see how players find new ways to get "Start Me Up/I'll Never Stops," such as the growing Ritalin abuse. Jim Leyland is back, managing the Tigers. Grady Little, too, with the Dodgers. Jim Tracy joyfully fled L.A. for Pittsburgh. Longtime Angels lieutenant Joe Maddon has been entrusted with leading the Devil Rays out of their Dark Ages, while Joe Girardi is entrusted with the new reconstruction of the Marlins. Meanwhile, there are dozens of significant old faces in new places: Mike Piazza in San Diego; Nomar Garciaparra, Rafael Furcal and Bill Mueller in LA; Matt Morris in San Francisco; Billy Wagner, Carlos Delgado and Paul Lo Duca in Queens; Alfonso Soriano in Washington; Johnny Damon in the South Bronx; Coco Crisp, Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell in Boston; Kris and Anna Benson in Baltimore; A.J. Burnett, B.J. Ryan, Lyle Overbay, Troy Glaus and Bengie Molina in Toronto; Jim Thome and Javier Vazquez on Chicago's South Side; Frank Thomas and Milton Bradley in Oakland; Kevin Millwood and Brad Wilkerson in Texas ...
1. Jeremy Hermida, OF, Florida: "If there is a can't-miss hitting prospect, it is Hermida," says one AL GM. "He's a star." Problem is, in 2006, there won't be a lot around him in the Marlins' lineup other than Miguel Cabrera. GMs drool at Hermida's 111-walk/89K numbers in the minors, and his 1.017 OPS in September. With Cabrera and Hanley Ramirez and all the pitching Larry Beinfest is stockpiling, the reconstruction may not take as long as the last time the Marlins broke up the team. That is, if they don't have to move from South Beach to a strip mall in Tecumcari, N.M.
1. Joe Mauer, C, Minnesota: Injuries have essentially limited him to one full season, in which he had 52 extra-base hits and an .811 OPS. "His knee is fine now, and he wants to catch 135 games," says GM Terry Ryan. "If that happens, he could be the best catcher in the game," says one NL GM. "He is an extraordinary handler of pitchers, and he's an impact hitter who makes contact and drives the ball with power to the alleys." 2. Casey Kotchman,1B, LA Angels: "He is going to take off," says one coach. Injuries held him back in the minors, but he put up the rarest numbers -- more walks and more extra-base hits than strikeouts -- and Angels coaches say he's learning to lift the ball. 3. Coco Crisp, CF, Boston: "He has gone to the right place -- big crowds, pressure," says one NL GM. "He will love the attention, and as one of the best fastball hitters in the game, he will prosper in front of Manny and Ortiz." Here's his career track over the last three years: 15-24-42 doubles, 3-15-16 homers, .655-.730-.810 OPS. 4. Jeremy Reed, CF, Seattle: His .322 OBP was a disappointment, but he had the wrist injury. "Every number shows he was the best defensive center fielder in our league," says one AL official. "And he's going to hit. Just look at his history." 5. Scott Kazmir, LHP, Tampa Bay: He's put on 20 pounds, and already has 215 strikeouts in 219 major-league innings. "He's at the point in his career when his command should improve," says a scout, "and when that happens, he could be a star." 6. Brad Wilkerson, OF, Texas: OK, he fell from 32 to 11 homers, but he was hurt and played at pitcher-friendly RFK Stadium. Now get him healthy and put him in the AL's best park for left-handed batters ... 7. Mike Gonzalez, Closer, Pittsburgh: "We're giving him a chance to become one of the elite relievers," says GM Dave Littlefield. The numbers -- 101 2/3 IP, 71 H, 119 K -- speak for his stuff, and after two setup seasons he's ready to close. 8. Matt Murton, OF, Cubs: The Red Sox could not have won the 2004 World Series without including him in the Nomar Garciaparra trade, but they wish they had him back. Murton jumped from Double-A, had a .907 OPS and showed the Cubs that not only can he hit, but he can run and has makeup that's off the charts. 9. Justin Morneau, 1B, Minnesota: In a short time, Morneau has become a controversial figure. He had several injuries, but his willingness to play was questioned by teammates and the .304 OBP was distressing. But he has a big-time bat and power, and in a down time for American League first basemen, he still intrigues many in the game. 10. Erik Bedard, LHP, Baltimore: He is 12-18, 4.31 lifetime, and has yet to get past the command problems of getting from 0-and-2 to 3-and-2. But the stuff is there, and when teams like the Cubs asked for him in deals, assistant GM Jim Duquette told them he considers Bedard a potential No. 1 starter who cannot be moved until proven otherwise. Also receiving multiple votes: Rickie Weeks, 2B, Milwaukee; Conor Jackson, 1B, Arizona; Jose Castillo, 2B, Pittsburgh; Macay McBride, LHP, Atlanta.
1. Eric Gagne, CL, LA Dodgers
2. Rocco Baldelli, CF, Tampa Bay
3. Frank Thomas, DH, Oakland.
4. Jim Thome, DH, Chicago WS
5. Ben Sheets, RHP, Milwaukee
6. Barry Bonds, LF, San Francisco
7. Nomar Garciaparra, 1B, LA Dodgers
8. Mike Lowell, 3B, Boston
9. Scott Rolen, 3B, St. Louis
10. Edgar Renteria, SS, Atlanta Also receiving multiple votes: Zack Greinke, Kansas City; Kip Wells and Oliver Perez, Pittsburgh; Kerry Wood and Mark Prior, Cubs; Curt Schilling, Boston. Gagne changes the Dodgers into a major bullpen power, with Danys Baez, Yhency Brazoban and Jonathan Broxton in front of him. Thomas completely changes the A's, Rolen the Cardinals' lineup and defense, Renteria the Braves, and the Red Sox will go as far as the comebacks of Lowell, Schilling and Keith Foulke take them.
Think back to this time, last year. Other than USA Today's Bob Nightengale, did anyone think the White Sox would not only win the world championship, but end up with a case as one of the five best teams of the last two decades? Honestly, did you really believe the Athletics were a 90-win team? Or that the Braves would finish first, again? There were many of us who believed the Twins had a great chance to win the World Series. Sure, everyone believes the Blue Jays can make a run at the Yankees and Red Sox. The White Sox and Athletics seem to be the teams most likely to make the World Series from the American League, the Cardinals in the NL. Every season, there are dramatic surprises. Every spring, there are teams that we are curious to see for different reasons, and here are six teams I cannot wait to see unfurl: 1. Milwaukee Brewers: They finished at .500 for the first time since 1992 after averaging 69 wins a season from '99 through '04. With Fielder, Weeks, J.J. Hardy (.565 first half OPS, .865 second half) and Bill Hall, they have a strong core of young players to blend with veterans Carlos Lee, Geoff Jenkins and Corey Koskie. Now, if Ben Sheets can just stay healthy, the pitching can be good, especially with Mike Maddux handling it. Here's a question: Can you rank the top four left-handed pitchers in strikeouts last season? If you guessed Johan Santana (238), Randy Johnson (211), Doug Davis (208) and Chris Capuano (176), you won. Doug Melvin has quietly stocked the pitching with deals for Davis, Capuano, Derrick Turnbow, David Bush, Jose Capellan, Matt Wise, Tomo Ohka and Zach Jackson, and they now may have the depth to creep up from 81 toward 90 wins if the young players continue to develop. 2. Pittsburgh Pirates: Littlefield knew the rebuilding would be a slow process, but now, in 2006, his concentration on pitching may pay off. If Jim Colborn can help Kip Wells and Oliver Perez, then with Zach Duke, Paul Maholm and several other young arms and a bullpen with three power lefties, the improvement can come quickly. There is some more money, as evidenced by Littlefield holding onto the much-sought Craig Wilson. Sean Casey, Joe Randa and Jeromy Burnitz aren't impact bats, but they can play and help younger players like Chris Duffy, Jose Castillo and Ryan Doumit and provide depth around Jason Bay. The Pirates have not reached .500 since Barry Bonds left after the 1992 season, so to approach it after averaging a 67-92 record in the ensuing full seasons would be a significant step forward. 3. Arizona Diamondbacks: They have had only two straight losing seasons, but with a new regime there is a lot of hope. Where Stephen Drew, Justin Upton, Conor Jackson, Carlos Quentin, Chris Young, Dustin Nippert and Miguel Montero track from February to September will be one of the ongoing storylines. This new front office changes everything. 4. Tampa Bay Devil Rays: Maddon is not going to turn the Rays into instant contenders. But as he points out, he has a lot of offense, and Carl Crawford, Rocco Baldelli, Aubrey Huff, Jorge Cantu, Jonny Gomes, Travis Lee and Julio Lugo can hit anywhere in the lineup. There is the Sean Burroughs resurrection story, and the wait on the elder Upton and younger Young. GM Andrew Friedman has to restock the young pitching to go with Kazmir. While there are serious doubts about the two Rice No. 1 picks -- Jeff Niemann and Wade Townsend are a combined 0-6 in pro ball and are nearly 24 -- getting Edwin Jackson and Chuck Tiffany was a move in the right direction. Lugo, Huff and others will likely be traded during spring training or during the season for more young arms. 5. Texas Rangers: With Kevin Millwood, Adam Eaton and Vicente Padilla, Buck Showalter finally has some starters in front of his bullpen, as well as all the young pitchers John Hart accrued over the years. Wilkerson may find heaven, Ian Kinsler can step in at second, and if Hank Blalock can turn things around, the Rangers can make a nice run in the AL West. 6. Minnesota Twins: There had been expectations that their offseason moves would be sexier than getting Luis Castillo and Tony Batista. To get enough offense, Torii Hunter must be healthy and Mauer, Morneau, Michael Cuddyer and/or Jason Kubel must take off. If the Twins get close, they can be scary with Santana, Liriano, Carlos Silva and Brad Radke starting and Joe Nathan in front of a deep bullpen, and they can beat anyone in September and October. The White Sox are formidable, but the AL Central is potentially a deep, talented division. If the Tigers can keep Carlos Guillen and Magglio Ordonez healthy, they are dangerous. And the Indians have some of the best young talent in the game. If their starters remain healthy, if in the second half they get help from a couple out of the Adam Miller/Jeremy Sowers/Fausto Carmona/Fernando Cabrera/Tony Sipp group, if Andy Marte emerges and if the plate discipline Franklin Gutierrez showed in Venezuela translates to the regular season, this could be a pennant-winning team. As pitchers and catchers begin reporting Wednesday, at least half the teams in baseball believe they have a reasonable chance to make it into the league divisional series. And as Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi always says, "If you can make it into the playoffs, it's like March Madness -- anything can happen."

Burnett, B.J. Ryan, Lyle Overbay, Troy Glaus and Bengie Molina in Toronto; Jim Thome and Javier Vazquez on Chicago's South Side; Frank Thomas and Milton Bradley in Oakland; Kevin Millwood and Brad Wilkerson in Texas ...
But we still don't know if we'll see Roger Clemens, Rafael Palmeiro or Sammy Sosa again, or what we'll see in Barry Bonds.
Which leads to the first poll of the season. More than 50 executives, scouts, managers and coaches were asked three questions: Of all the rookies and young players in their first full seasons, which do you believe will eventually be "difference makers"?1. Jeremy Hermida, OF, Florida: "If there is a can't-miss hitting prospect, it is Hermida," says one AL GM. "He's a star." Problem is, in 2006, there won't be a lot around him in the Marlins' lineup other than Miguel Cabrera. GMs drool at Hermida's 111-walk/89K numbers in the minors, and his 1.017 OPS in September. With Cabrera and Hanley Ramirez and all the pitching Larry Beinfest is stockpiling, the reconstruction may not take as long as the last time the Marlins broke up the team. That is, if they don't have to move from South Beach to a strip mall in Tecumcari, N.M.
2. Francisco Liriano, LHP, Minnesota: The second gem from the A.J. Pierzynski trade is 22 years old, touches 97-98 mph, and had funky and Santana-esque numbers that included 126 hits allowed and 204 strikeouts in 167 2/3 innings in the minors. Kyle Lohse had better pitch well because Liriano and Scott Baker both could be in the Twins' rotation.
3. Felix Hernandez, RHP, Seattle: "He may have the best stuff I've ever seen," says an AL GM. "I wouldn't be surprised if he were one of the five best starters in the league this season." He turns 20 on John Keenan Day (April 8), has that sick stuff and showed last September that the 363K/119 BB/306 IP numbers are no fluke in terms of command, as he dropped 2-and-0 changeups and curveball hammers for strikes.4. Brandon Wood, SS, LA Angels: Look, this is the future, unless he's at third base come July. Orlando Cabrera has three more years and is a great defender, and there are many teams that lust for Erick Aybar, the Angels' other shortstop prospect. But the rangy 21-year-old Wood has rare power that should only get better as he fills out -- 43 homers in the minors, 13 in 29 games in the Arizona Fall League, diligent makeup.
5. Delmon Young, OF, Tampa Bay: "If the Devil Rays didn't have so many good outfielders, he would probably be in the big leagues in April," says one scout. No question he can be an impact hitter, but the 4BB/33K numbers in Triple-A indicate a couple of months repeating Triple-A wouldn't be a bad thing.
6. B.J. Upton, SS, Tampa Bay: Between Ozzie Smith and Jimy Williams, the Rays can find out if the elder Upton can play shortstop. If he can master the footwork, he can be a monster player. He is paying the price for being rushed and moved around, but if he can play short and not be moved to third or the outfield, he will be a star. Younger brother Justin -- bigger than B.J. and very mature -- will have a very short minor-league shelf life.
7. Brian McCann, C, Atlanta: When All-Star Johnny Estrada got run over by Darin Erstad, McCann rushed in and helped the Braves finish first for the 14th consecutive full season. He had an impressive .748 OPS, handled pitchers masterfully and allowed the Braves to trade Estrada for bullpen help. Oh yes. Right behind McCann is Jarrod Saltalamacchia, rated by many as the best catching prospect in the minor leagues.8. Jonathan Papelbon, RHP, Boston: In his second full pro season -- and second as a starter -- Papelbon shot right up to Fenway Park and was a major contributor to the Red Sox bullpen down the stretch. The organization wants him to start, to see him as a 700-out-a-year horse, and at 25, he is ready to step in and do it now. The Red Sox love his bring-it-on makeup, but one Boston official warns, "The worst thing would be to start comparing him to Roger Clemens. No one else in modern baseball history is as good as Clemens. Why should we ask a rookie to try?"
9. Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks, Milwaukee: There may be some growing pains. Weeks has some work to do defensively. But the right side of the Brewer infield is set for years. 10. Brandon McCarthy, RHP, Chicago WS:. If Ken Williams hadn't assembled so much pitching, McCarthy would be a candidate to win 15 or more games. "He'll be in that rotation come September," says one scout. "And he'll be right there in line behind (Mark) Buehrle." Also receiving multiple votes: Jason Kubel, OF, Minnesota; Ryan Zimmerman, 3B, Washington; Alex Gordon, 3B-OF, Kansas City; Hanley Ramirez, SS, Florida; Justin Verlander, RHP, Detroit; Jeremy Sowers, LHP, Cleveland; Jon Lester, LHP, Boston; Craig Hansen, Closer, Boston; Chris Young, CF, Arizona (too bad he broke his hand this week and will miss most of spring training); Justin Upton, SS-OF, Arizona; Erick Aybar, SS, LA Angels; Andy Marte, 3B, Cleveland; Ronny Cedeno, SS, Cubs; Felix Pie, OF, Cubs; Chad Billingsley, RHP, LA Dodgers.Who do you believe will have a breakout season?
1. Joe Mauer, C, Minnesota: Injuries have essentially limited him to one full season, in which he had 52 extra-base hits and an .811 OPS. "His knee is fine now, and he wants to catch 135 games," says GM Terry Ryan. "If that happens, he could be the best catcher in the game," says one NL GM.

Brad Wilkerson, OF, Texas: OK, he fell from 32 to 11 homers, but he was hurt and played at pitcher-friendly RFK Stadium. Now get him healthy and put him in the AL's best park for left-handed batters ... 7. Mike Gonzalez, Closer, Pittsburgh: "We're giving him a chance to become one of the elite relievers," says GM Dave Littlefield. The numbers -- 101 2/3 IP, 71 H, 119 K -- speak for his stuff, and after two setup seasons he's ready to close. 8. Matt Murton, OF, Cubs: The Red Sox could not have won the 2004 World Series without including him in the Nomar Garciaparra trade, but they wish they had him back. Murton jumped from Double-A, had a .907 OPS and showed the Cubs that not only can he hit, but he can run and has makeup that's off the charts. 9. Justin Morneau, 1B, Minnesota: In a short time, Morneau has become a controversial figure. He had several injuries, but his willingness to play was questioned by teammates and the .304 OBP was distressing. But he has a big-time bat and power, and in a down time for American League first basemen, he still intrigues many in the game. 10. Erik Bedard, LHP, Baltimore: He is 12-18, 4.31 lifetime, and has yet to get past the command problems of getting from 0-and-2 to 3-and-2. But the stuff is there, and when teams like the Cubs asked for him in deals, assistant GM Jim Duquette told them he considers Bedard a potential No. 1 starter who cannot be moved until proven otherwise. Also receiving multiple votes: Rickie Weeks, 2B, Milwaukee; Conor Jackson, 1B, Arizona; Jose Castillo, 2B, Pittsburgh; Macay McBride, LHP, Atlanta.
Who do you believe will have the biggest comebacks?
1. Eric Gagne, CL, LA Dodgers
2. Rocco Baldelli, CF, Tampa Bay
3. Frank Thomas, DH, Oakland.
4. Jim Thome, DH, Chicago WS
5. Ben Sheets, RHP, Milwaukee
6. Barry Bonds, LF, San Francisco
7. Nomar Garciaparra, 1B, LA Dodgers
8. Mike Lowell, 3B, Boston
9. Scott Rolen, 3B, St. Louis
10. Edgar Renteria, SS, Atlanta Also receiving multiple votes: Zack Greinke, Kansas City; Kip Wells and Oliver Perez, Pittsburgh; Kerry Wood and Mark Prior, Cubs; Curt Schilling, Boston. Gagne changes the Dodgers into a major bullpen power, with Danys Baez, Yhency Brazoban and Jonathan Broxton in front of him. Thomas completely changes the A's, Rolen the Cardinals' lineup and defense, Renteria the Braves, and the Red Sox will go as far as the comebacks of Lowell, Schilling and Keith Foulke take them.
Six teams to watch
Think back to this time, last year. Other than USA Today's Bob Nightengale, did anyone think the White Sox would not only win the world championship, but end up with a case as one of the five best teams of the last two decades? Honestly, did you really believe the Athletics were a 90-win team? Or that the Braves would finish first, again? There were many of us who believed the Twins had a great chance to win the World Series. Sure, everyone believes the Blue Jays can make a run at the Yankees and Red Sox. The White Sox and Athletics seem to be the teams most likely to make the World Series from the American League, the Cardinals in the NL. Every season, there are dramatic surprises. Every spring, there are teams that we are curious to see for different reasons, and here are six teams I cannot wait to see unfurl: 1. Milwaukee Brewers: They finished at .500 for the first time since 1992 after averaging 69 wins a season from '99 through '04. With Fielder, Weeks, J.J. Hardy (.565 first half OPS, .865 second half) and Bill Hall, they have a strong core of young players to blend with veterans Carlos Lee, Geoff Jenkins and Corey Koskie. Now, if Ben Sheets can just stay healthy, the pitching can be good, especially with Mike Maddux handling it. Here's a question: Can you rank the top four left-handed pitchers in strikeouts last season? If you guessed Johan Santana (238), Randy Johnson (211), Doug Davis (208) and Chris Capuano (176), you won. Doug Melvin has quietly stocked the pitching with deals for Davis, Capuano, Derrick Turnbow, David Bush, Jose Capellan, Matt Wise, Tomo Ohka and Zach Jackson, and they now may have the depth to creep up from 81 toward 90 wins if the young players continue to develop. 2. Pittsburgh Pirates: Littlefield knew the rebuilding would be a slow process, but now, in 2006, his concentration on pitching may pay off. If Jim Colborn can help Kip Wells and Oliver Perez, then with Zach Duke, Paul Maholm and several other young arms and a bullpen with three power lefties, the improvement can come quickly. There is some more money, as evidenced by Littlefield holding onto the much-sought Craig Wilson. Sean Casey, Joe Randa and Jeromy Burnitz aren't impact bats, but they can play and help younger players like Chris Duffy, Jose Castillo and Ryan Doumit and provide depth around Jason Bay. The Pirates have not reached .500 since Barry Bonds left after the 1992 season, so to approach it after averaging a 67-92 record in the ensuing full seasons would be a significant step forward. 3. Arizona Diamondbacks: They have had only two straight losing seasons, but with a new regime there is a lot of hope. Where Stephen Drew, Justin Upton, Conor Jackson, Carlos Quentin, Chris Young, Dustin Nippert and Miguel Montero track from February to September will be one of the ongoing storylines. This new front office changes everything. 4. Tampa Bay Devil Rays: Maddon is not going to turn the Rays into instant contenders. But as he points out, he has a lot of offense, and Carl Crawford, Rocco Baldelli, Aubrey Huff, Jorge Cantu, Jonny Gomes, Travis Lee and Julio Lugo can hit anywhere in the lineup. There is the Sean Burroughs resurrection story, and the wait on the elder Upton and younger Young. GM Andrew Friedman has to restock the young pitching to go with Kazmir. While there are serious doubts about the two Rice No. 1 picks -- Jeff Niemann and Wade Townsend are a combined 0-6 in pro ball and are nearly 24 -- getting Edwin Jackson and Chuck Tiffany was a move in the right direction. Lugo, Huff and others will likely be traded during spring training or during the season for more young arms. 5. Texas Rangers: With Kevin Millwood, Adam Eaton and Vicente Padilla, Buck Showalter finally has some starters in front of his bullpen, as well as all the young pitchers John Hart accrued over the years. Wilkerson may find heaven, Ian Kinsler can step in at second, and if Hank Blalock can turn things around, the Rangers can make a nice run in the AL West. 6. Minnesota Twins: There had been expectations that their offseason moves would be sexier than getting Luis Castillo and Tony Batista. To get enough offense, Torii Hunter must be healthy and Mauer, Morneau, Michael Cuddyer and/or Jason Kubel must take off. If the Twins get close, they can be scary with Santana, Liriano, Carlos Silva and Brad Radke starting and Joe Nathan in front of a deep bullpen, and they can beat anyone in September and October. The White Sox are formidable, but the AL Central is potentially a deep, talented division. If the Tigers can keep Carlos Guillen and Magglio Ordonez healthy, they are dangerous. And the Indians have some of the best young talent in the game. If their starters remain healthy, if in the second half they get help from a couple out of the Adam Miller/Jeremy Sowers/Fausto Carmona/Fernando Cabrera/Tony Sipp group, if Andy Marte emerges and if the plate discipline Franklin Gutierrez showed in Venezuela translates to the regular season, this could be a pennant-winning team. As pitchers and catchers begin reporting Wednesday, at least half the teams in baseball believe they have a reasonable chance to make it into the league divisional series. And as Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi always says, "If you can make it into the playoffs, it's like March Madness -- anything can happen."
Indeed, as someone who remembers that he picked the White Sox to finish third but was the only one on ESPN.com to pick them to beat Boston in ALDS, the reminders of how things change are fresh.
Hey, Manny Ramirez may decide to retire and save the rain forests of Brazil.Sunday, February 12, 2006
You Guys Can Thank Me Later

If peeing in your pants is cool, I'm miles davis
I think my friend Rich Slate described it best, "A legend wherever he goes: London, Belmont, Ithaca. Sam is your man if you want to party so hard you'll pee your pants. Apparently, that is a sign of a good time for him. Hates it. Loves it. Needs it. Wants it." According to that definition last night was EXCELLENT. I woke up in the morning and had definitely pissed my pants, fortunately, I was angled towards the wall and did not piss on my beautiful girlfriend who I love and hope does not break up with me.
Last night started with a case race against eight of the finest members of the Ithaca College field hockey team. Team Captains Matt "Lim" Young and Tina Capozzi, started things off at around 9:20. Within a few minutes Lim had already chugged four beers and was well on his way to the nine he would chug during the whole competition. Before the race was done five of eight 613ers had puked and suffered the five minute penalty. The competition ended in under 25 minutes, with our house chugging the 48 beers before the FH team.
Despite such large puking numbers the whole house rallied and immediately started doing keg stands, celebrating the fact that chris had puked and that another goal was crossed off our list.
The rest of the night was a bit hazy. There was a solid number of people. Everyone appeared to have a good time, and I had a hot pocket mini sub before eventually passing out in my bad and wetting myself for the first time this year.
Next weekend looks equally productive as we will probably got to chilis for chipotle burgers and come home and do edward forty hands. Come on over.

Saturday Night 613 Party
This Saturday the green house on the hill is having a party:
Pre-game festivities start between 8 and 9 when 613 will take on eight of the finest members of the Ithaca College Field Hockey team in a case race: two cases per team.
After we dominate the chicks, I mean after the race, we'll tap the keg and any friend of the house gets a cup for free.
Hugh Laurie's coming so you don't want to miss it.
Oh yeah and the hottest roommate in the house will be there: Bry Big's back

The Gauntlet
If you have yet to watch this week's episode of the addictive, MTV version of adult summer camp for aimless, former reality TV stars --- you should not read any further...
For those of you who are fans, I figured I'd weigh in on this week's past episode. If Bill Simmons can address two Gauntlet-related questions in a recent mailbag, I assumed it would be okay for me to use this blog to discuss one of 613's favorite contestants on the show: Derek.
It seems like we've all grown attached to Derek. And I'm pretty sure I can pinpoint the exact moment that this lovefest began: it was when he broke out the funnel in the previous season... (did any other cast members join him, or even know what he was doing?)
He loves to drink, he's tough, he's got heart, and he's always trying to prove himself. Which is why we shouldn't have been surprised that he chose to take on a big black dude who outweighed him by 80-some pounds in an event that favors the larger bodies ("Beach Brawl"). But just because we shouldn't have been surprised, doesn't mean that we weren't right to be scared.
During his season on Road Rules, Derek challenged the alpha male of the group (some tall, strong, athletic guy) to a wrestling match in the dirt outside the Winnebago. Derek wasn't necessarily trying to start trouble, but he was drunk and looking to prove himself. Unlike Cyrus, the alpha male guy wasn't a chump. He tossed Derek around with minimal difficulty and pinned him repeatedly. Derek, convinced he could win, refused to give up... he never won. So while his underdog complex, incredible intensity, and immense pride can help him to overcome challenges that seem insurmountable, those traits can also lead him to embarrassment and defeat. He's got to be careful.
To be honest, I didn't think he was going to win. And no, it was not because of Chris' acting job when he tried to fool us into thinking that he would actually give away the ending to an episode with his down-trotten demeanor and in the process, ruin our viewing experience (as Vaughn would say, "you're better than that.") It just didn't seem like Derek would be able to move Cyrus --- no matter how low he got, and no matter how many times he walked up and down the beach by himself with his hood pulled up. I thought he should have definitely chosen the climbing event. In "Beach Brawl," all Cyrus had to do was lean on him, fall on top of him - a fact that he learned too late, once he was already down 2 games to none.
It was a great showing by Derek, I don't want to downplay that. But I think that we, the viewers, overestimated Cyrus' abilities and heart. He really proved himself to be a pushover. Even when he got mad after the first point, an obvious tactic to psyche himself up since he had done little mental or physical preparation, it never looked like he knew what he was doing, or even cared enough to figure out what was necessary and do it. One of the cast members said something to the effect of - I think the Veteran Guys are getting scared 'cause they know that they might have to face Derek in the Gauntlet, and they won't win against him.
Maybe that's true. Maybe this sent a message. Derek prefaced his "Beach Brawl" decision with the words: "I'll go out on a limb here..." But maybe he knew exactly what he was doing. Cyrus was the heaviest guy and if Derek could chop him down, he'd prove that he could chop down anyone else.
It's true that Cyrus was the heaviest, but he certainly wasn't the strongest or most skilled of the remaining Veteran Guys. Brad, David, and Mark would probably pose a lot tougher competition in "Beach Braw." I'm not saying that Derek should doubt himself in this event . Not doubting, or even thinking too much about anything, is what has gotten him this far. I just don't want him to assume that "Beach Brawl" is his bread and butter. He's got to look at each opponent differently and play to his own strengths; not just his Napoleon Complex.
On another note, our DVR recording of "There and Back" cut out before the end, so I hope Mark can let me know if anything important happened. That can be our new Tuesday lunch show. What do you say Bry?
That new, fake version of "Laguna Beach" (which is a fake version of "The OC" (which is a fake version of "90201")) looks stupid. I suppose it's okay for high school kids to only discuss crushes and dances, never once touching upon anything remotely insightful. But the characters on this show are somewhat grown-up (at least in age). I don't want to see the same high school dynamic applied to a show with 20-something year-olds. Here's to hoping we don't get hooked.
Long live "Rich Girls" --- "We must have done something really good in our past lives to be here now... Benjamin Franklin was born on my birthday, Muhammad Ali was born on my birthday, maybe I was one of them."
God this is sad that we watch crappy MTV shows.

THE LIST
After a weekend like this, where we accomplished 3 goals Sat night and by the nature of the specific goal will be able to cross off yet another one today I figure it is about time that I buck up and post the pics of the list. Enjoy.
A goal has yet to be crossed off this first list.
Last night we were able to cross off the ever elusive "1st Place in Nude Photo Hunt" which was accomplished by Mark, Rand, and Myself at the machine in the front of Moonies with a score of 326,830.

This list was was ravaged this weekend having "Super Bowl Party", "Pee on Phones", and "Century Mark" being crossed off.
And finally a nice wide shot.
A rewarding and accomplished weekend and here is to keeping pace.
