Cubs shortstop7/25/2023 ![]() ![]() And he’s second all-time in defensive runs saved. Javier Baez (2014-21, 15.8 WAR) is first in Cubs shortstop history in strikeout percentage, first in BABIP, second in isolated power, and third in BsR. That was the year the Sawx finally broke their color line by bringing up Pumpsie Green. A slick fielder with minimal on-field offensive skills, Jurges (1931-47, 17.1 WAR) would manage the Boston Red Sox in 1959 in lieu of Pinky Higgins and his racist slurs. This list (drawn from here) is likely illustrative rather than exhaustive. During his playing career, Billy Jurges (takes deep breath) was shot by a showgirl punched by an umpire fired a baseball in anger into the Phillies dugout during a game fired a second baseball in anger into the Phillies dugout during the same game and set fire to a hotel room. Chicago Cubs: Looking at some honorable mention candidates ![]() Basically, Banks was a slower A-Rod without the steroids and the weird art. Those were his age 23-30 seasons.Ĭompared to other shortstops over that age span, Banks is (takes deep breath) second in homers (behind only A-Rod) fourth in WAR (behind A-Rod, Cal Ripken and Lou Boudreau, and tied with Honus Wagner) second in slugging (A-Rod again) third in RBI (behind A-Rod and Vern Stephens) and third in slugging (behind A-Rod and Nomar Garciaparra). While Banks’ long tenure with the team helped him achieve iconic status, it was his first eight full-time seasons, when he played almost entirely at short, that sealed his greatness as baseball player. Near the top of the top 25, Banks is far and away the best shortstop to ever play for the Cubs, and indeed for anyone. That club outdrew the other two Chicago teams early in the 1914 season, and Tinker’s presence, though dimming by then, was probably one reason. Tinker played all but one season of his career in Chicago, though the last two were as a player-manager with the Federal League side. From 1908-12, Tinker was second in WAR for all shortstops (behind only Honus Wagner), fifth in wRC+ (102), and second in triples (53, again trailing only Wagner). 259/.303/.347, 94 wRC+, 46.6 WARĪ top-25’er more famous for his glove than his bat, Tinker nevertheless had a mid-career offensive awakening that helped spur the Cubs’ early 20th century dominance. Noting his propensity for getting ejected, the New York Times concluded that “keeping Bill Dahlen in the game is like trying to keep a sparrow in an open lot.” He would play most of the rest his career for Brooklyn and later the Giants, but never attained the level of offensive success he had in Chicago.ĭahlen treated umpires like they were alien invaders. Dahlen was a fractious personality who wore out his welcome in Chicago, getting traded to Brooklyn before the 1899 season. ![]() He owns three of the top 10 best seasons by a Cubs shortstop not named Banks, and has the highest single season OPS (1.012 in 1894). ![]() One of the all-time top 25, Dahlen was an outstanding bat-first shortstop for the Anson-era squad. He would not have any other above average offensive seasons, but he was a steady defender and the fourth best baserunner among Cubs shortstops, using the Fangraphs BsR rating. English blossomed offensively in the following two seasons, producing 16 of his 32 career homers, 31 percent of his career hits and 11 of his 23 career offensive WAR. The two roomed together on the road when Hornsby joined the Cubs in 1929, and Hornsby provided English valuable hitting tips. Woody English was one of the few people Rogers Hornsby could tolerate. Hollocher’s demons would catch him soon enough he died at 44 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A mysterious abdominal ailment would curtail his career, leading him to leave the game after just seven years. Hollocher was the best Cubs position player during his short career, which bridged the Frank Chance and Gabby Hartnett dynasties. He led the NL in hits and total bases, and all 1918 rookies in WAR (5.5) and each of the triple slash stats (.316/.379/.397). 305/.370/.392, 112 wRC+, 23.7 WARĬharlie Hollocher rocketed into the baseball world in 1918 with a season that probably would have won the Rookie of the Year Award had it existed then. Unless otherwise noted, statistics are for each player’s tenure as a Cub, and references to WAR are to the Fangraphs version unless otherwise noted. The “five best” series continues today with a look at the five best shortstops in Chicago Cubs history (no points for guessing who’s #1!). This series is based on last year’s all-time top 25. ![]()

Candybar phone with wifi7/25/2023 ![]() ![]() The answer was yes, for $10 a month and a $25 sim card. I called my carrier and asked if there was a way I could put my number on two devices. But what if I could have a smartphone for when it was really needed but used a low-tech phone for less-essential tasks and times? Could that work? In today’s workplace, unless you’re Christopher Walken, you need a smart device.įine. I’m a freelance producer, so if I’m out in the field and miss some key correspondence, an excuse of “well, you see, my phone usage, it became a bit much” would merely be an efficient way to make sure I am never hired again. That felt good too but it didn’t work either: I kept on bouncing between my apps, checking the damned New York Post.Ĭould I just chuck the damn thing in the ocean? Or just leave it at home? Alas, that really is the stuff of fantasy. It felt really good but it didn’t last long. In the midst of the all-consuming, politics-driven death spiral that is the US today, I shut down all notifications. And maybe knees that tweet.Īnd so I began looking for balance. Maybe future humans will have legs that ring. I have found myself wondering if this is a matter of evolution. More troubling is a sporadic buzzing I feel in my leg, which feels like a phone ringing, when the phone isn’t actually in my pocket. I’m with my kids and I’m still touching the phone. I’m crossing the street, I’ll stop and look at the phone and have no idea what’s going on. Where’s the phone? Is it charged? Should I charge it now, or later? At work or at home, notifications buzz me like low-flying planes. A bulbous chunk of my brain, sucked up by phonethink. The reach for the phone had become involuntary. Of course it should have been obvious long ago, but on that revelatory night, I realised I had lost control. All it takes is a slim distraction and my thumb turns turbo. Baseball stats, flight status, email check, text, random article, who knows what. My usage is heavy, best described as a zigzag, across apps. When they made it really fast and put it on a phone, it was pretty much game over. “Is this what we’ll do for the rest of our lives?” ![]() Enough that we hope the real Nokia (not the Microsoft-flavored version) breaks its own promise to make more phones once it's contractually allowed to.“Is this how it all ends?” I wondered out loud. We suspect the "select markets" that the Nokia 222 (or its dual-SIM variant) are headed to don't include the US, not least because of the 900/1800 MHz radios, still, we're weirdly taken by its design. Nokia fans may have spotted it's very similar to the even more affordable ($29) Nokia 215, but with a much improved camera and a few aesthetic improvements. There's also a flashlight, that the PR kindly explains what you might use for. Likewise, the 2-megapixel camera may be modest, but the handset is still good for Skype or Facebook, plus direct phone-to-phone sharing ( via SLAM). While we're joking about it being an MP3 player with a phone attached, it does support SD cards (up to 32GB) that you could stuff with media. Despite the obvious limitations of a "2.5G" candybar running a bespoke OS (Nokia Series 30+), there are some features - like month-long battery life - that remind us that fancy-pants flagships can have their drawbacks. Of course, this isn't really a media player, it's a feature phone aimed at developing markets. Today, in 2015, that's called the Nokia 222. ![]() There was a time when, if you'd told me I could buy a connected MP3 player with a camera that makes calls, for $37, I'd have suggested a little less "jazz" in your cigarettes. ![]()

Daifuku mochi7/25/2023 ![]() A rice cake filled with Anko, soybeans, or azuki beans and served as a dessert. It is a traditional Japanese confectionery that dates back to the Edo period. It’s unknown when or where Ichigo Daifuku was created, but it became well-known and popular in the 1980s. When strawberries are in season, Ichigo Daifuku (strawberry inside) is the most well-known type of Fruit Daifuku, and it can be found at every Wagashi shop. This one is not a traditional Japanese sweets, but it’s been there for a while and is one of the most popular things in Wagashi Japanese sweet stores. What is Fruit Daifuku?įruit Daifuku is a Japanese Mochi confection in which fruit, such as strawberries, are coated in Anko sweet bean paste before being wrapped in Mochi rice cake. Anko is the most typical filling, however other fillings may sometimes exist. It may come in a variety of colors, but it’s unique in that locals fill the inside. Also, mochi isn’t inherently sweet, which is why Dango and daifuku exist: they’re sweetened mochi that locals eat as snacks or desserts.ĭaifuku, on the other hand, is a lot easier to tell apart from mochi. Color, on the other hand, maybe added to it. As a result, it’s extremely chewy and colorless (i.e. Locals beat it into a sticky ball after being crushed, heated, then pounded. Mochi is a sticky rice-based Japanese rice cake. Close it down and brush off the excess potato starch to complete. Put the mochi on the palm and put the bean paste on it. Daifuku Recipe Daifuku Ingredients The Daifuku Ingredients for 4 person Nowadays, various kinds of Daifuku are made, including beans and strawberries, whipped cream, custard, and pudding instead of bean paste. In 1771, a widow named Otayo in Edo, invented a small belly rice cake made by adding sugar to bean paste and sold it under the name of “Otama-mochi.” Later, the word “belly” in “Otama-mochi” was changed to “Fuku” and became “Daifukumochi.” During the reign of Kansei, selling this at night was popular, and in cold winters, “yakiDaifuku” was said to have been popular. At that time, Daifuku was large, and the bean paste was just salted azuki beans. It was also called “Harabu-to-mochi” or “belly thick mochi”. History of Daifukuĭaifuku was originally called quail mochi because its round and plump shape resembled a quail. The current size is a palm-sized round shape that men and women of all ages can eat. It is now commonplace, but it was one size larger when it was first sold. There are various types of Daifuku, but even if the color of the rice cake is different, the roundness of the shape does not change. When making this at home, it is difficult to harden it by mixing sugar with the mochi. Japanese often sprinkled with edible flour (rice cake flour, often cornstarch). Locals will finely chop the mochi, and the amount of bean paste is often equal to or greater than that of the mochi. What is Daifuku?ĭaifuku is a traditional Japanese confectionery made of bean paste from red beans wrapped in mochi. Since the pronunciations of Fuku (腹) (belly) and Fuku (福) (luck) are the same in Japanese, so the name further changed to daifuku mochi (大福餅) (great luck rice cake), a bringer of good luck. Later, they changed the name to daifuku mochi (大腹餅) (big belly rice cake). Etymologyĭaifuku was originally called Habutai mochi (腹太餅) (belly thick rice cake) because of its filling. The mixture of creamy ice cream and the unique texture of rice cake is something you can only enjoy in Japan.Are you one of those people who like to eat any sweets or confectionery? Have you tried any Japanese confectionery such as Mochi, Sasa Dango, and Ichigo Daifuku? In this article, we will discuss Daifuku or Daifuku Mochi which is a Japanese confectionery that resulted in one of many new taste combinations and increased mochi’s appeal across Japan. If you love traditional Japanese sweets but want something refreshing, Yukimi Daifuku is the perfect treat for you. Yukimi Daifuku - The Perfect Treat on a Hot Day You don't have the different textures the Yukimi Daifuku is so famous for but it is a delicious and unique ice cream in its own right. ![]() ![]() Every layer is very smooth and creamy and it melts in your mouth as you bite into it. The creamy chocolate covers a matcha flavored ice cream and the center is filled with a matcha cream. The version shown in the picture above is the matcha version. Each piece is covered in powdered cocoa to add the final touch. Instead of rice cake, a layer of creamy chocolate is used to cover the ice cream core. However, the look is the only thing these two have in common. ![]() Created by the same company, it has the same design to it as Yukimi Daifuku. Even though Noko Namachoko (rich creamy chocolate) is not an official member of the Yukimi Daifuku family, it seems to be inspired by it. ![]()

So if you didn't main Sharpshooter - use the list below to figure out which characters you need to create and run the first couple quests. Also - Purchased or rolled for items do not count towards this achievement. Ssj Sean has done some testing and confirmed that you don't have to actually equip these, just pick them up and have them in your inventory. This is probably sufficient, and "Weapons of Choice" popped at this point, but just so I could warp to my fort, I also did the 2nd quest.

Black onyx properties7/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Some specimens are pure, black onyx, though that version is scarce, making it highly desirable. Natural black onyx – as the name suggests – is a black gemstone with a luster ranging from waxy to vitreous, depending on whether it’s in its natural state, cut, or polished. Here’s an overview of the types and colors of onyx gemstones. However, onyx can come in many more colors. When people think of onyx, the black version of the gem is what usually comes to mind. As a result, you need to consider specific factors to determine its authenticity, such as whether the price aligns with what a solid black onyx gemstone would cost. While it may be, there’s also a chance that it’s dyed black or heat-treated chalcedony. When you’re looking at a pure black piece of black onyx jewelry, it’s wise to wonder if it’s genuine. Since solid black onyx is preferred in many cases, some faux black onyx that is created to resemble pure black onyx stone. Those stones are considered the most desirable, and those are rare finds. However, in some cases, pieces of onyx won’t feature white banding but bands in other colors. Generally, onyx isn’t considered a rare stone. Additionally, you can find opaque and translucent versions of the stone, depending on the exact type. In white or black banded onyx, you may find gray or brown bands, too.Īs for the luster, it can range from waxy to vitreous, depending on whether it’s raw, cut, or polished. However, brown and white or red and white onyx also naturally occur. The most widely known combination is black and white bands. While the exterior of a piece of onyx may appear to be a single color, when it’s cut or carved, layers of other colors are revealed as parallel bands. When it comes to its form, the onyx gemstone is actually layered. It features a significant amount of calcite, not unlike granite and marble. Onyx is a variety of chalcedony, which is a silicate mineral. ![]() Here’s a deeper dive into what the onyx gemstone is and whether it’s considered rare. Instead, it’s actually classified as a mineral. While people often refer to onyx as a gemstone, that isn’t the best formal description of the gem. If you’re wondering, “Is onyx a real stone?” the answer is “yes.” However, many people have misconceptions about what the gem is in terms of composition and categorization. If you’d like to learn more about onyx, here’s a look at what the onyx gemstone is, its types and colors, the onyx meaning, and more. Onyx is also widely known, though many people don’t dive deep into the semi-precious stone’s meaning, healing properties, and symbolism. The onyx gemstone is incredibly unique and strikingly beautiful, making it a favorite for jewelry and a popular option for collectors. ![]() |
