"Our guys have really picked it up," said manager Tony La Russa of his bullpen, which has allowed only one run in 19 2/3 innings this postseason. "It's been fun to watch because they don't go out there with a lot of experience, and they have got good arms and they're excited. It's been a big reason why we're here in th... |
After the Mets rocked Chris Carpenter for six hits and five runs in five innings to post a 5-4 lead, five Cardinals relievers combined to hold the Mets' offense to one hit and one run the rest of the game. Meanwhile, the Redbirds mounted a comeback off the usually reliable Mets 'pen -- which ranked first in the Nationa... |
"Our young guys have stepped it up and really faced the pressure amazingly," said Spiezio, who went 2-for-4 with three RBIs in place of Scott Rolen. "You need a clutch bullpen when you get into the postseason, and our bullpen has been unbelievable." |
Not that anyone expected it after Jason Isringhausen, the organization's all-time saves leader, went down for the season after having surgery on his arthritic left hip in September. |
But La Russa said the influence of Isringhausen, as well as a visit from Cal Eldred late in September, has helped the 'pen find success late in the season. |
A hands-off approach has also been applied. |
"Dunc doesn't allow me to talk to our pitchers," joked La Russa, in regards to pitching coach Dave Duncan. "[The] only thing I'm allowed to say when I get in there is, 'Here, get a pitch and get an out.'" |
And besides a run allowed by Josh Hancock in the sixth, that's exactly what the 'pen did. |
Hancock started the inning in relief of Carpenter and -- after striking out Anderson Hernandez and walking Jose Reyes -- allowed a double to Paul Lo Duca, which increased the Mets' lead to 6-4. But La Russa then handed the ball to Randy Flores, who forced the Mets' two deadliest hitters, Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delga... |
Flores pitched the seventh and escaped unscathed despite allowing a two-out single to Jose Valentin. |
But after the Redbirds tied the game in the seventh, the bullpen's biggest test of the postseason came in the eighth. |
Josh Kinney began the inning and struck out Julio Franco, who was pinch-hitting in the ninth spot. Reyes then singled off the 27-year-old rookie, who then walked Lo Duca. With Shea Stadium's record-setting crowd of 56,349 rocking, it looked like the young right-hander would fold under pressure. |
"You can't let the atmosphere and everything that's going on away from home plate and the pitcher's mound affect what you're going to do," said Kinney. "You just have to take it in stride, maybe take a little bit more time, keep your composure out there and try to make your pitches." |
Kinney did just that. After Beltran fouled off several pitches with two strikes, Kinney induced Beltran into a double play to end the inning. The battle with Beltran, who had 41 home runs this year, proved that the young bullpen has grown by leaps and bounds since Isringhausen's departure. |
"It's awesome," said Flores. "That was me last year, so I know what they're feeling. And to know that they're competing and executing what they feel, it's impressive. It's also impressive to see those three guys do it after taking some heat some of the year. It would be one thing if they came here, they were hot, got e... |
"To face what they've faced, and to compete on this stage and execute, is something that they should be proud of." |
After the Cardinals scored three runs off Wagner in the ninth, Tyler Johnson struck out Delgado and gave way to Adam Wainwright, who forced out David Wright and Shawn Green to end the game. |
"We're doing good so far, but it's not over yet," said Wainwright. "We've got to keep going." |
But for a bullpen that had to play second fiddle to the vaunted Mets corps heading into the playoffs, it looks like things have shifted in favor of the Cards. Just as long as La Russa keeps handing them the ball.<eot>NewsPoliticsScienceEducationHousingImmigrationCriminal JusticeSilicon ValleyForumThe California Report |

This morning, that navigation led me to a new social networking site called Ello. Ello has a manifesto, is still in beta, and is currently invite-only. It crashes a lot and is very slow.

But, still, there is something astir as I write this. There's a little digital rumble: articles are popping up, Facebook friends are actually defecting. It might be wishful thinking, or it might be just a slight nudge of the paradigm. I'm rooting for the latter, but only time will tell. “People who say it's impossible ... |

In September 1994 in Cairo, at the third population conference hosted by the United Nations, world leaders will be asked to approve a plan that could stabilize the world population at about 8 billion people by the middle of the next century.

The emphasis on excessive population growth in developing countries has diverted attention from the equally significant issue of excessive consumption in developed countries. For example, the rich nations, which contain only 22% of the world's population, cause 74-87% of major pollutants and consume 76-92% of global na... |

Campus safety used to mean nothing more than getting up at 2 am for dormitory fire drills. |
But a heightened awareness of safety-related issues on campus has caused colleges to look at their safety procedures in more detail. This analysis has led to new preparedness exercises and a rethinking of campus safety as a whole. |
Campus police are usually involved in transport services for students who feel safe walking back to their dorms at night or do not have a group to walk with. |
Campus Safety in the Dorms |
There are many practical things you can do to help stay secure. Keeping dorm rooms clean can prevent fires. Remove all the flammable waste and papers frequently, and keep posters and decorations off of the ceiling and away from sprinklers and fire alarms. Also, keep an eye on appliances, especially microwaves, when usi... |
Make yourself aware of emergency exits and meeting places in the case of evacuation. Rutgers University has a dedicated web page for campus status in the event of an emergency. |
Campus-Wide Emergency Preparedness |
In general, it is also wise to be prepared for other emergencies. Have identification and a phone with you at all times. Make contingency plans for certain emergencies that may take place, such as fires and earthquakes. |
In particular, be aware of any emergencies that are particularly associated with your college’s location. Stanford University, for example, lies near two major earthquake faults in northern California. The school is particularly attuned to earthquake preparedness, especially in light of the disastrous earthquake in Jap... |
Stanford seeks to “combine preparedness with what we know about the possibility of seismic activity in the area,” wrote Lawrence Gibbs of the university’s department of Environmental Health & Safety. |
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has developed the “disaster-resistant university” (DRU) program to encourage disaster preparedness on college campuses. Several universities including Tulane University, the University of California – Berkeley and the University of Miami assisted FEMA with the DRU program by cont... |
Theft on College Campuses |
Augustana College in Illinois advises all students to label all belongings and engrave them when possible. Keeping valuables out of sight, whether in a dorm room or in a vehicle, is also recommended. Closing your door, respecting proper dorm visiting hours and refusing to admit people without proper identification can ... |
Emergency Drills on Campus |
Following several violent incidents on college campuses, some schools have been holding mock shooting drills. These exercises have featured gunmen holding non-lethal weapons, police and SWAT team responses, and sometimes students aren’t told what’s going on. |
Albany State University has been holding these drills since 2008. While schools such as Seton Hall University in New Jersey issued warnings letting students know that such college safety drills were taking place, other schools have not been as forthcoming with the information, and have caused real scares in students. |
Campus Police and Campus Safety |
The campus police have many jobs in facilitating college safety. They enforce the law on campus and often in surrounding areas, which typically include fraternities and any apartments nearby where loud, disruptive parties are held. |
Campus police are usually involved in transport services for students who feel safe walking back to their dorms at night or do not have a group to walk with. Female students are especially invited to use the transport service that either involves a police escort or a police vehicle driving the student back to her dormi... |
