This week, the House of Representatives voted on a bill that would alter the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995. Along with other new rules and procedures for curbing sexual harassment, the bill also bans sexual relationships between lawmakers and their staffers. It does not, however, prohibit relationships between people who are equal colleagues or who aren't in a chain of command with each other (so a House member could date a House member, or a chief of staff for one rep could have a relationship with another rep's chief of staff). This is the bill that also forces legislators to pay back the Treasury Department for funds used to settle sexual harassment claims in Congress and makes the procedures for reporting harassment so much easier. All around, this is a very good bill and a welcome change.
But banning employees from relationships, even bosses and their subordinates, sends the wrong message about the underlying problems behind sexual harassment, no matter how well intentioned.
And the bill really does seem well intentioned. In addition to banning relationships between a lawmaker and their staffer, a separate resolution would also require House members to establish their own policies regarding harassment and relationships in their offices, so it's possible that some members will choose to go zero tolerance on any fraternization between people at all.
According to the Washington Post, although the bill doesn't ban relationships between lawmakers and people they don't supervise, it does prohibit "unwelcome sexual advances or conduct" toward colleagues and House employees but does not ban sexual relationships between lawmakers and staffers they do not supervise. Basically, it's aimed at preventing power discrepancies from influencing these interactions, which is obviously important.
There have been a slew of resignations in both chambers of Congress in the past few months and some of them involved congressional staffers. Rep. Patrick Meehan is another accused Congress member. He won't be running for election after a staffer said he "lashed out at her" when she rejected him, according to the Huffington Post. Banning relationships between bosses and employees should just be considered a bad idea no matter what industry they work in.
Companies that don't already have policies about fraternization or sexual harassment will very likely look to Congress as an example when drafting their own rules. These new policies highlight one of the biggest problems with the response to #MeToo allegations. Women and men "fraternizing" isn't the problem in the workplace — the problem is the assumption on one person's behalf that they are somehow entitled to another person's body or space or time, even after the other person rebuffs them or doesn't (or can't) give consent that constitutes harassment, all of which contributes to a hostile work environment.
Men are furious and scared now because most of them don't know the difference between flirting and harassment. They think they will be "falsely" accused or have been in the past. They don't know or care to learn what is appropriate.
Consensual flirting and shooting your shot in the copy room is not what women are talking about ending.
It's amazing that we have to baby men who refuse to understand verbal and non-verbal consent by banning all of it. Next time you hear a man complain about the rules, remind him why we can't have nice things at work anymore. No one wanted to end flirting at work. What, like all we want to do is work? These rules are a necessarily last resort after a long history of women feeling perpetually unsafe and uncomfortable because men can't understand how to treat them like human beings without it being written out to the letter.
On one hand, banning relationships means that the supervisor or colleague will definitely know that they can't try to send a dirty email or touch someone's leg without permission. Having policies in place in which people have to disclose their relationships and are clear about what that should look like day to day might be more effective, according to the Society for Human Resources & Management.
A recent survey by the organization found that younger workers are more open to relationships at work and tend to understand the dangers of favoritism and not bringing their personal lives into the professional space. There are a lot of people who might be prone to banging their co-worker whether there's a policy or not. There are consequences to not having rules in place at all, of course. Most companies, according to SHRM, have "no fraternization" policies to protect against sexual harassment claims, but there are other issues that can come up, like someone having to switch departments or just not getting along with their ex-partner or other people in the office.
Still, there are more effective ways to change a sexist or predatory culture from forming in the office.
Holding regular trainings so that everyone knows what harassment is and how to report it is a first step, but efforts have to be way more comprehensive than that. Traditional trainings aren't that effective, but teaching people how to intervene and promoting more women actually are, according to the New York Times. There should also be — and it's good that the House bill includes these kinds of changes — common sense policies and procedures for reporting harassment. These procedures should protect the victim instead of alienating them. Actual investigations and repercussions for serial harassers and abusers at work might be a better deterrent than bans on dating or making out at the holiday party.
It's not a perfect science and every workplace should be revamping their policies to end sexual harassment. But banning men and women from interacting with each other shouldn't be the only thing. It might even exacerbate the problem.

Sir David and Lady Clary Chemistry Fund
Professor Sir David Clary retires after 15 years as President of Magdalen in August 2020. He is one of the most eminent and decorated quantum chemists of his generation. A Fellow of the Royal Society and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, he was Chief Scientific Adviser to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office 2009-2013 and was knighted in 2016 for services to international science.
We are seeking to endow a fund in the names of Sir David and Lady Clary to enable Magdalen to offer graduate research scholarships in Chemistry in perpetuity.
This fund will allow alumni and friends of the College a wonderful opportunity not only to support exciting graduate research and Magdalen's world-class reputation for Chemistry, but also to recognise and honour the contribution Sir David and Lady Clary have made to the life of Magdalen College over the past 15 years.

Virginia- Mathematics: Probability and Statistics
Standards of Learning Adopted: 2009
Mathematics: Probability and Statistics
PS.1: The student will analyze graphical displays of univariate data, including dotplots, stemplots, and histograms, to identify and describe patterns and departures from patterns, using central tendency, spread, clusters, gaps, and outliers. Appropriate technology will be used to create graphical displays.
Stem-and-Leaf Plots
PS.2: The student will analyze numerical characteristics of univariate data sets to describe patterns and departures from patterns, using mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation, interquartile range, range, and outliers.
PS.3: The student will compare distributions of two or more univariate data sets, analyzing center and spread (within group and between group variations), clusters and gaps, shapes, outliers, or other unusual features.
Populations and Samples
PS.4: The student will analyze scatterplots to identify and describe the relationship between two variables, using shape; strength of relationship; clusters; positive, negative, or no association; outliers; and influential points.
PS.5: The student will find and interpret linear correlation, use the method of least squares regression to model the linear relationship between two variables, and use the residual plots to assess linearity.
PS.8: The student will describe the methods of data collection in a census, sample survey, experiment, and observational study and identify an appropriate method of solution for a given problem setting.
Polling: Neighborhood
PS.9: The student will plan and conduct a survey. The plan will address sampling techniques (e.g., simple random, stratified) and methods to reduce bias.
PS.10: The student will plan and conduct an experiment. The plan will address control, randomization, and measurement of experimental error.
PS.11: The student will identify and describe two or more events as complementary, dependent, independent, and/or mutually exclusive.
PS.12: The student will find probabilities (relative frequency and theoretical), including conditional probabilities for events that are either dependent or independent, by applying the Law of Large Numbers concept, the addition rule, and the multiplication rule.
PS.14: The student will simulate probability distributions, including binomial and geometric.
PS.16: The student will identify properties of a normal distribution and apply the normal distribution to determine probabilities, using a table or graphing calculator.
PS.19: The student will identify the meaning of sampling distribution with reference to random variable, sampling statistic, and parameter and explain the Central Limit Theorem. This will include sampling distribution of a sample proportion, a sample mean, a difference between two sample proportions, and a difference between two sample means.


Spring is here! The season for opening days, spring cleaning and new beginnings, so when it comes to marketing, now is a great time to refresh your strategy. Clear the clutter, breathe new life into your content, and maybe try a little something new. Here are a few ways you can freshen up your marketing this season.
With any change, a first step should be an audit. Take this season to review what you have out there and how things are performing. What marketing channels are consistently bringing the best return on investment? What social channels are receiving the most valuable engagements? Then, get organized and dial in on what's working so you can let go of what's not. Maybe your print piece in the local magazine hasn't gained any traction and you need to switch to something more effective. The key here isn't to overhaul your entire marketing strategy, instead it is taking an honest look at what you're doing and where you can better focus your time and resources.
Speaking of time, you may even consider investing in time-saving tools, such as Hootsuite to manage your social media channels and schedule posts to all channels well in advance, and Canva for premade templates for graphics. Utilizing other software relevant to your industry, such as Apple's Square or project management platforms, can help make your marketing more efficient.
Ever-changing technology in marketing also lends itself to spam. Use this season to put measures and applications in place to protect your content and digital marketing channels from becoming a victim. On the other hand, to avoid coming across as spam to others, be sure to research new regulations among the channels you deliver your content, such as Google, Facebook and your email client, to be up to date so your hard work doesn't go straight to your customer's junk folder.
Much like the seasons, trends are constantly changing and in order to keep up, you must have relevant information and keywords throughout your digital and content marketing channels. It may be time to search for new industry terms and keywords. Adding these to your website and content marketing by incorporating fresh content and information distributed throughout your website will help give you a boost in browser searches.
Extend the benefit of utilizing these new keywords by incorporating them into your email marketing. Still one of the best ways to increase your marketing ROI, your email newsletter is a smart strategy to speak directly to your consumers. Adjusting for spring might mean refreshing your email template with new graphics, designating new areas to include timely and relevant content to share, and even cleaning out your email database. If you don't currently utilize email marketing, the spring is a great time to launch!
Spring summons visions of flowers, freshness, sunshine and warmth. That makes this season an easy opportunity to update your marketing collateral, sales materials, social channels and website. What is the current look and feel of the marketing you're putting out for consumers to see? If it feels dull and dark from the winter past, now is the time to update your visual content to contain bright and cheerful images and illustration that align with your brand. Find ways to refresh the look to reflect the season in the words you use and imagery you choose. Update Facebook and Twitter headers, create social media posts with bright, visual imagery, or utilize the growing popularity of videos to add another element of excitement. However you decide to reach your consumers, the more visually appealing and engaging the content, the more reach you can expect to gain!
Spring is a great time to review your current marketing, leave behind what's not working, improve your content keywords and search, and refresh your look. Freshen up your marketing and it will be sure to bloom in the months to come.

I had to take a leave of absence from Rutgers University as I was having panic attacks nearly every day trying to balance my work, school and social life. I would work 15-18 hours a day while doing homework and also finding time to go out and party 2-3 times a week. It was just too much. I knew I had to focus on one so I first gave up going out completely, but still found myself struggling in school. I knew I had to drop out and once I Jersey Champs surpassed $125,000 in sales, I knew it was time. I devoted 100% of my time to running the company and it turned out to be the best decision I ever made.
I focused heavily on marketing when the company first started to get the word out there, so I often would pay large Instagram and Twitter pages to post my jerseys. Back then shoutouts were tremendously undervalued and there were very little buyers. I then evolved into Twitter ad spots, then eventually started doing Facebook and Snapchat Ads, while also landing some major influencers and celebrities to wear the jerseys. In the early days, I often found myself manually trying to market my way manually. These days almost all of the marketing is done with as little manual labor as possible to save time for me to focus on other areas of the business, such as product development, wholesale orders to sports leagues and strategic partnerships

3 You've used Instagram to help create your brand. Can you tell us why you've chosen Instagram as a tool for growth?
4 Where can people contact you?
Sean Kelly: It's not for everyone. I mean that in the nicest way possible. I truly believe most entrepreneurs are born with an innate desire to create something with their own hands. Either way, prepare for the first year of starting out to be the hardest year of your life. People only focus on the success when it happens, but they never think about what it took to get there.
I've transitioned into someone that I'd never thought I'd be at such a young age. I do not drink or smoke which 99% of kids my age are doing, and I used to do heavily. There are certain sacrifices you will have to make for your business and you have to be prepared to give them up.
How have you been able to get celebrities to wear your jerseys?
Sean Kelly: Instagram DM. Gary Vaynerchuk is not kidding when he says an Instagram DM can change your life. I have a full time employee messaging various celebrities every day to collaborate with Jersey Champs. Before I hired someone, I did it myself and spent hours every day messaging or emailing managers of celebrities.
Luck will be involved, but persistence will always surpass luck when you work hard enough. I've always believed that once you start climbing the ladder it only gets easier and that has certainly been the case as we work our way up to the likes of Mark Cuban and 21 Savage wearing our jerseys now.
You've used Instagram to help create your brand. Can you tell us why you've chosen Instagram as a tool for growth?
Sean Kelly: It's completely ironic. I hated social media in High School, but I knew the jersey market was 80% millennials, so it was a market I had to tap into. I took courses on Instagram growth, watched hours of videos and even paid money to large accounts to teach me their ways. I adopted their techniques and developed my own and eventually became extremely experience in Instagram Marketing which needed up becoming over 80% of our sales in the first year of business.

The monumental but decaying grey, brutalist structures of central and eastern Europe are fading memories of the socialist era. So decrepit are some of these buildings that the Bureau for Art and Urban Research (Bacu) believes "socialist modernism" – the architecture from the former eastern bloc erected between 1955-91 – has been left out of the history books.
In an attempt to protect these buildings, Bacu started an initiative in 2014 to document and preserve the structures and their heritage.
From the faded grandeur of the State Circus in Moldova's capital, Chisinau, to the concrete curves of Kiev's Memory Park, many of these buildings have been abandoned and left to ruin, while others sit waiting for demolition in rapidly developing eastern European cities.
In the first phase of the project, the group is documenting the architecture from the Eastern Bloc (the socialist states of central and eastern Europe), as shown on Instagram account @socialistmodernism. Rusu explains that socialist era architecture can be divided into two parts: socialist realism in the Stalinist period, and modernism from 1955-91. Bacu has also mapped these socialist modernist buildings and monuments online in a community-driven tool, hoping to build a comprehensive database as well as create awareness and promote a desire to preserve them. The second phase aims to develop regulations for protection.


Sometimes a decision has to be made about reporting a particular non-paying customer to the debt collection agency. However, choosing a debt collection agency is not a simple undertaking. Many companies operate in this sector, which makes it hard for customers to select the best company that meets their needs. Here are six tips that your company can use to choose an ideal debt recovery partner.
1. Industry Expertise Every sector is different. Industries have specific intricacies and challenges, especially when it comes to invoicing and contracts. Understanding how a particular industry operates is an essential aspect of successful debt recovery. Therefore, you should select an agency that has precise knowledge of your industry so that it can be able to navigate the complex payment processes. Commercial debt collection requires industrial expertise, which will be useful bringing the desired results to your business.
2. Experience in Debt Collection Sometimes the time in which a company has spent in business is not a clear measure of how it has been a success. However, it is difficult to ignore that a commercial debt collection company that has been in the industry for a longer period understands how to deal with difficult customers. Moreover, experience and longevity counts as debt recovery resources to a debt collection company. A long-serving company has the necessary knowledge in debt collection procedures. However, you should not only check for the operation period. Checking customer testimonials and success stories is important.
3. Certification and Credentials Check certification and company credentials before hiring your debt collection company. A credible company should be registered with leading industry bodies such as the Credit Service Association. The company should also have the necessary license and be authorized to operate in the financial sector by the Financial Conduct Authority. Being registered and regulated by the authority means that the company is subject to the normal codes of conduct and other disciplinary procedures.
4. Technology Consider a debt collection company that uses the best data management software in the industry. You want to work with a debt collection agency that is already ahead of the game in debt collection technologies. A company with the necessary debt recovery resources such as batch upload, especially for larger debts, automated SMS to debtors, and an easy online portal where you can log in and track the progress of debt collection.
5. Debt Collection Methods Various debt collection agencies have multiple methods that they use to collect debts. Some use aggressive methods that might destroy the relationship between the client and the customer. You should make sure that the debt collection strategy adopted by the agency is consistent with your values. Choose a company that uses their experience and knowledge to come up with a positive conclusion. It would be important if the agency can solve the issue out of the court.
6. Fees Some debt collection agencies require upfront payment while others will charge depending on the success rate. Whatever the method, you need transparency in the payment strategy. Moreover, the fee must be moderate and consistent with the amount that you want to recover.


In Sri Lanka's Kandy district, Ashan Thudugala and his team placed seven signboards along a road where he had previously recorded several fishing cat road kills. People are asked to drive carefully as fishing cats may cross the road.
Ashan shows more of his photos about the making and putting up of the signboards in his flickr album.
Often overlooked in the shadow of its larger cousin, the tiger, the fishing cat is feeling the heat. Humans are closing in on its habitat, draining and polluting marshland and clearing the mangrove forests it needs for survival.
Please tell the West Bengal Forest Department to set up a dedicated Fishing Cat Protection Force and prosecute poachers to the full extent of the law.
Thank you all for supporting Tiasa's petition!! More than 5500 people from 49 countries signed. The fishing cat poachers have been arrested and taken to court on Thursday. West Bengal's Chief Wildlife Warden promised to conduct regular awareness campaigns.
And now enjoy Indrajit's video!!

Javan fishing cat – The last Javan fishing cat to be seen was killed by a hunter in 1932. Since then it has not been recorded. The recent discovery that the Fishing cat does not exist (and has not existed) in Sumatra makes identifying areas where the Javan fishing cat might exist vital to its conservation.

White Poppies
RR Edwards
Regular California Poppies
The obsession started the day I noticed an unusual patch of white-petaled flowers. They were among an irregular sea of bright orange California poppies—the only surviving descendants of a package of mixed, native wild-flowers that I'd sown a few years earlier. There they were, White California poppies!
I've always loved our state flower, whose beacon of orange can be seen everywhere this time of year. In some respects, it grows like a weed—appears randomly, in small isolated patches, or covering whole fields. It spreads at will, thrives in most types of soil and, once the spring rains germinate its seeds, will continue to bloom through the dry months of early summer. But all this outward heartiness belies the sensitive side of this flower. You can look, but you cannot touch! Once established, it doesn't like being jostled and will wilt and die at the drop-of-a-hat. As the state flower, they're protected—you're not allowed to pick them. But anyone who's ignored, or been unaware of this law, is soon holding a drooping blob of orange and green, and that usually dissuades any future attempts at gathering. Though I've always believed this plant to be an annual (dying out completely, after dropping its seeds in the summer), I was surprised that a number of our potted poppy plants survived last winter, and went on to flower this spring. Who Knew?
A More Delicate Poppy
I had never seen, or heard of a white California poppy. The only response my casual inquiries drew was, "Really?" Eventually, someone told me that it was a rare, but not unheard of genetic mutation that, over time, reverted back to brilliant orange in successive generations. That's why you don't see ever-spreading patches of white poppies. I can't attest to the accuracy of this premise, but it made sense to me. I guess I could have gone on-line and researched the topic, but it made little difference to what had become my mission — to create a permanent strain of white California poppies.
I assumed that if I wanted to reinforce the mutation, I needed to find it in another, "unrelated" patch of white poppies. And so, during the travels of my daily life, I scanned my surroundings in search of other genetic outcasts. I finally found what I was looking for in an area I'd passed countless times—an embankment along a nearby freeway on-ramp. Now, I had to watch and wait for the white poppy petals to fall away, and the seed pods to ripen and dry. This was the same routine I was going through, in front of my home—anxiously waiting for the seed pods to dry, and collecting them before they burst and scattered their tiny seeds.
The Average Seed Pod
The average seed pod is about 3" long, about 1/8" in diameter, (though that can vary a lot) and tapers to a point at both ends. Its trick in spreading its seed is not unique, but it is unusual. When the seeds ripen, (they're the size of large grains of sand) and the pods dry, the pod splits in half as if it were spring-loaded, and flings the seeds as far as several feet. The difficulty in gathering seeds is waiting long enough to be sure the seeds are mature, but picking the pods before they "explode."
Nearly Mature on Scraggly Plants
When this adventure started, several years ago, I was able to collect several hundred seeds from my yard, but only a few dozen from the on-ramp location. (The difference, in part, was simply access.) A problem with the seed I collected was that I couldn't ensure that all of them came from white-petaled plants. By the time I came up with my grand plan, the seed pods were already developing and had long since lost their petals, so there wasn't a clear division of plants by color. Unavoidably, some of the seeds I gathered came from orange poppies.
Sprung and Unsprung
That was a few years ago and it wasn't until last year, after moving to Two Rock, that I had a chance to put my plan to work. I placed seeds in 6" pots, separating them into groups of "home" and "on-ramp" poppies. (I wanted to be sure that I could pollinate one group with the other.) When the plants started to bloom, I found that about half of them were white and the others were orange. I pinched off as many of the "undesirable" blooms as I could, and used a Q-tip to transfer pollen from one group of white flowers to the other. By this point I was second-guessing myself about my "scientific protocol" but it was, what it was.
On top of that we had to leave for about 10 days to attend a family memorial back east. I arranged for the neighbor's son, (who we'd hired to feed the cats in our absence) to pick off the orange blossoms when they appeared. I explained to him the reason for the task, but perhaps it was all a little too esoteric for a 14 year-old boy to appreciate, because upon our return, I was greeted by a speckled patch of orange and white poppies. At this point, the experiment was out of control—the orange and white flowers had engaged in unbridled relations, and there was no telling what the color of their offspring would be. (Not that there's anything wrong with that! That's why they call them wildflowers.) I decided to make the best of it, and continued to remove the undesirables. When the pods were ready, I harvested those seeds where I felt confidant of white-petaled-parentage, and allowed the rest to go on about their natural business, spreading their seeds. But I vowed to do better next year.
As I mentioned before, I was surprised that a number of last year's plants made it through the winter, and they became part of what turned out to be a sizable patch of new poppies that came up this spring. Rather than plant any of the seeds I had gathered from previous seasons, I decided to work with what nature had delivered. What I hadn't expected, and was pleased to see, was that most of the new flowers were white. And so I began, again, pinching off the orange blossoms and, when possible, removing the entire plant that was producing them.
Well, the last of the poppies are now drying up. (Due to our unusual weather, it was an early poppy season.) And I'm happy to report that I've collected an impressive quantity of seeds—and there's more to come. Just how many seeds is hard to say. By weight, it's a little over an ounce and a half. That may not sound like much, but there are thousands of them. But when I started this whole thing a number of years ago, I had no idea how changed my life would be.
So many tiny seeds!
The love of a wonderful woman and an opportunity to create something special together, are calling me and my white poppies to lands in the east. I'm not sure how I'll do with snow in the winter and humid summers, and I'm less sure how my fine petaled friends will do. But, I'm optimistic (and that's saying a lot, for me) and I think these two California transplants will do fine, just fine.

I'm sitting in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. This hurricane was so massive it impacted the entire peninsula of Florida. The Keys have never sustained such impact and upon its exit Irma gave us the proverbial "middle finger" as it caused the St. John's River to overflow and flood Jacksonville. The official estimate of power outage was 6.5 million. A revised estimate puts that total at 13 million out of a state population of 20 million.
While very grateful, my husband and I are struggling with some "survivors" guilt since we still have power. We live in an area of Central Florida where the utility lines are buried. We are offering our house, showers, beds, air conditioning, coffee pot, washing machine, and refrigerator to friends who are sweltering in air conditioning impaired homes with rapidly defrosting refrigerators and NO COFFEE.
(1) First and foremost – Don't be a jerk! I have that tendency I must confess. I get very cranky queuing in long lines or getting caught in traffic jams. Behaviors I saw pre-hurricane were kind of appalling- people fist fighting over propane tanks, hoarding water, and snatching that last grill out from under an elderly man at a Home Depot.
Let's hope we can find more patience in our post-hurricane behavior because frankly, waiting for Duke energy or Florida Power trucks will summon up all the patience we have in our psychic arsenal.
(2) Get creative. If I believe there is such a thing as "sin", wasting time would be at the top of my sin list. Yes it is bloody hot. Yes the cable is down so no television or Internet. Yes there is no electricity to even cook a meal inside the house. But what else can you say "yes" to which can actually bolster your spirits?
Make a fun concoction out of food you have in the pantry or expiring in the refrigerator. Or even make a science experiment out of it. During a previous hurricane my kids and I made a treasure hunt out of finding the iron in cereal. After all, what does "fortified with iron" really mean?
Actually do something creative- play or make musical instruments; instead of watching television, half of you be the television and the other half the audience. Draw, color, paint, sculpt.
(3) Go on an adventure. Whether on foot, bicycle, or by car, get out of the house and explore. The roads are or will be cleared of danger in many areas. Get out of town.
I don't mean to sound Pollyanna about our plights. Conditions are rough right now without a doubt. But our attitudes toward this situation can be life changing. How often do we have the opportunity to be curious, to be a little foolish? Where ever and whenever possible- have fun with this gift of time!


This work began as a series of drawing performances at Manchester School of Art; FACT, Liverpool and Cornerhouse, Manchester exploring the use of biosensors. I worked with a creative coder to reconfigure the ways in which the data from bio-sensors were visualised using my drawings as a framework. For the performance, signals from skin galvanometers and EEG headsets were transmitted in real time upon a large sheet of paper and traced.
'Noise+Signal' has since been developed into an interactive work and shown at events during science festivals and V&A museum, as well as part of a solo show at Watermans Arts, London.

Gameday Thread, #150: 9/16 vs. Dodgers

Share All sharing options for: Gameday Thread, #150: 9/16 vs. Dodgers
Edgar Gonzalez (24, RHP, 7-2, 4.76)
Esteban Loaiza (35, RHP, 2-1, 4.32)
BaseballReference.com preview [opens in new window]
I think I said this for a previous game, but it seems to be true again here. While this is not a "must-win" for Arizona, it is certainly a "things would be rather better if we could win" game. We've lost the first two, and seen our closest rivals all win two, leaving our leads looking a great deal less healthy than they were after the off-day on Thursday. Getting swept by the Dodgers would not be a good thing, but I think we all know that.
We send out, appropriately enough, Edgar 'The Paramedic' Gonzalez, who did well enough in his previous start against the Giants, giving up only one run in six innings of work. We'll be hoping for something similar today, and EdGon staunching the bleeding, in a slightly different way from the one which earned him the nickname. Loaiza has only made four starts this year, and they have been getting steadily worse: one, two, three and then six earned runs, last time out, also there in Chavez Ravine. Here's to that trend continuing: a win would let us reach the hoped-for split of the road-trip, and I'd have settled for that coming in.
