QUOTE(joeynach @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 05:23 PM) I have seen the one about Booby Jenks wakeup or something where he is throwing breakfast sandwhiches at someone to wake them up. Its pretty funny I was hoping it would show up on youtube sometime soon. I guess this doesn't classify as a typo really.

What the hell was his face doing that close?

I smell an idea for the 'This or That' thread..

I gotta say I think this is a mistake but I want Boone to keep it up. Will be unfortunate if he ever has to go back down but we have some backup at least.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 26, 2006 -> 09:39 PM) But he's giving up many of his hits to lefties (3-run bomb to Eric Chavez). I know Chavez is a great hitter but that's not good for a LOOGY. Those are the tough lefties we will need him to get out, especially with all of the good lefty hitters in the A.L. Central. Yeah that's still one at-bat. Lopez has 60 major league innings pitched against left-handed batters and has given up 3 home runs. He's got a better walk and k rate against LHB as well. Common sense tells me if we're talking about a role in strictly pitching to lefties, we take the guy who's proven it in a larger sample at the major league level (and can get a strikeout when necessary).

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 26, 2006 -> 09:35 PM) But Lopez is also giving up a lot of hits (13 H in 12.2 IP), and many of them to lefties. If he starts walking guys, he's screwed. I already acknowledged the hits. As for control, I'm going on what we have this spring. I know of his control problems in the past but he's curbed them well so far.

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 26, 2006 -> 08:58 PM) I tend to agree with you. Just for discussion, I wonder if they are thinking they'd like to keep Javier Lopez for a month or so and see what they've really got, and option Boone Logan out. It might not be the most fair solution, but maybe it's the easiest? I can pretty much guarantee that it's being discussed. Lopez would be my choice for the LOOGY role. Logan is not going to keep batters to an average under .200 on balls in play like he has thus far, and he doesn't seem to have a strong ability in striking batters out. Lots of balls in play is not a good recipe in our park. Lopez has given up too many hits but at least he has shown the ability to punch guys out at a nice rate. Think he leads the team or is second in K's this spring.

Yeah I thought both those things would kill bacteria.

I thought bacteria couldn't survive in freezing temperatures.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 08:44 PM) True to a degree, but just seeing the type of assignments given is an important glimpse into the kind of teacher somebody is. Are the assignments just busy work, or asking for linear thinking at best, or do they stretch the student to think critically and from multiple perspectives, etc. . . I agree, that's why I said one of the items should just be a list of their assignments.

QUOTE(Nokona @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) They're taking the smart kids from out of state for the extra dollar. That's all. And they wonder why kids from Illinois go out of state. 90% of their student body is in-state.

I think just a certain student's paper alone is not as valuable as either a list of specific assignments you created or examples of your grading techniques. An isolated student's papers in chronological order from when you took over to your time of leave might be most effective in revealing your influence as a teacher. Otherwise a teacher could just pick final drafts from the brightest kids, who would've excelled under positive or negative guidance.

I got a perfect score on math portions of both ACT and SAT, top 15% high school GPA, and still got rejected four years ago.

Anyone listening?

What percent of the professional portfolio are the student works supposed to take up?

This Sunday's episode was written by Ricky Gervais so I will definitely be checking it out.

This has been on YouTube for awhile.

I forgot it was possible to play an away game..

Who is the fourth?
