Houlie- My recommendation for starting out, would be to read up on the "Couch to 5K" program, and try that, if you feel good, you can skip ahead a couple weeks. But the real thing you want to concentrate on is your form. I know, when I get tired (whether playing Ultimate or running in general) I turn into a heel striker, and that's when my splints flare up.

Houlie- 85% of shin splints are caused from poor running form. If your heels are hitting the ground first, or you're extending your feet out (with longer strides) in front of your body, both of those can cause huge issues with shin splints. I know, I had the same problem for years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx6x2cD6Y8Q The "Lean from the ankles" tip in that video is very helpful, and watch where his feet hit the ground: Middle-front of the foot. The other thing I want to be sure of, is your pain all the way along your shins and not in a specific spot -- if it's in a sharp point it may be a stress fracture. You can stretch them, the easiest way is to stand on an angled surface (like, prop a board up at a 30 degree angle and stand on it for a minute at a time) but they will come back if you don't improve your running form. And when your shins start hurting you change your form to make the pain stop, and then suddenly other body parts start hurting. Start slow, and short with your runs, and concentrate on your form. Edit: I swear, I am not, nor have I ever been, inside the brain of owbc.

Fixed! Kidding. They need to rebuild so badly it's not even funny.

Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage. One of the best ever.

Does George Kottaras have any legitimate trade value?
Baldkin replied to adambr2's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Well, for one, since the start of May he still has a .405 OBP. No matter how you put it, that is darn good offensively. -
There have been numerous changes, most notably mound height and ballpark size that have increased the run environment in baseball since the 60's. Dunn wouldn't have hit nearly as many HRs in the 60's because a lot of the stadiums were cavernous.

No, KRod was not the single biggest reason for the great second half. It was their starting pitching. Their ERA was 3.08 in the second half last year. KRod threw a measly 29 of the 625 innings the team threw. With Aoki playing as well as he is, I see no reason not to go with Hart at 1B full time.

http://cdn0.sbnation.com/entry_photo_images/775498/gyi0062875181.jpg OHREALLY? Sorry, I agree that's what they need. The fact is they traded for Monta to be that guy and that's the exact role he cannot fill.

I've completely lost interest in the Bucks, I have no faith in the ownership, the management, the coaching staff or the horrible talent they've assembled. I have an ominous feeling the Bucks are going to draft Meyers Leonard or Tyler Zeller, (because they need some size - you know, an Andrew Bogut type) and both of them will be complete stiffs in the NBA. I saw Leonard in person 3 times this past season, and I've never seen someone so disinterested in actually trying on a basketball court.

23 PA's with RISP. 3 BB, 2 HBP, only 3 K's. So, he is 0 for 15 on balls put in play. That is crazy. -
Anyone who's ever watched Gomez knows he can't bunt. He is a terrible bunter. I cannot believe he ever called himself a good bunter. He's fast, so it can be effective even if he's terrible, but him bunting with guys on base is dumb.

Charlie Steiner does Dodgers radio? Really?

You can use WPA (Win Probability Added) as another way to judge a guy, and his "clutchness", thus far Braun is just over 2.0. He's been great, but, in all reality, they couldn't have been 5 games (or something) worse than they have been even without him -- Unless Brooks Conrad went 0 for 150 in his place.

It's amazing what normal dishsoap can kill, and/or a bit of dilluted bleach. Mix two cups of water with one tsp. of dish detergent in a spray bottle. Spray the areas where you see the springtails most often. This solution is enough to kill springtail bugs; a chemical pesticide is not necessary. Overwhelmingly, any household bugs are drawn in due to moisture, so check under your sink for leaks, and consider getting a dehumidifier if your place is muggy in the summertime.

Can't wait for your first Ask Me Anything.

When you go 3 people deep at 3 positions at the same time, yes, it makes a huge difference. You can usually absorb one injury at a position, but we're now on our 3rd SS, 3rd 1B and 7th starting pitcher. That is very, very tough to absorb. Not to mention two of our 4 all stars have hit worse than anyone else in the lineup thus far.

He bet ON his team during SOME games. That means, for all intents and purposes, he bet AGAINST his team in those other games. -Holding out a good reliever -Giving starters a day off before the game he bet on -Bumping his #1 starter back a day All of these are things he could have done as a manager to effect the outcome of games which he didn't bet on to hurt his teams chances. As for MJ, MJ gambles. Charles Barkley gambles. There is nothing wrong with this. There is nothing wrong with Rose gambling. Where the issue is, is that he gambled on HIS OWN TEAM on games he could effect the outcome of. As far as I know, he never wagered on NBA games which he was a part of. Ask Paul Hornug what happens when you gamble as an NFL player, or why his #5 hasn't been retired by the Packers yet.

Hypnotize him with lasers. Got it.
-
He bet on his team some games, and not others. That means he all but bet against his team those other days. If he know's he's betting on his team on Thursday and not on Wednesday, does the Wednesday game matter as much? Does he hold his closer out, or bump his #1 starter back a day? As for the Hall, No. No. 1000 times no.

Dennis Sarfate.

Doesn't he have to be up for 10 days now at least? Or does that rule only apply to guys having to stay in the minors?

Only need another 30 million people to do that, and we'll have enough! -
Here's that AB... the green pitch is the one he K'd on. http://pitchfx.texasleaguers.com/matchup/489265/430001/?from=5/22/2012&to=5/22/2012 It was utter filth, Rickie thought it was a fastball, and if it was, it would've been in the zone and strike 3 looking.

"Be right back guys, I've gotta go do some.... shopping." Yep, that'll work.
