Ubaldo Jimenez superb as Cleveland Indians defeat Texas Rangers, 6-0

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Wednesday marks the two-year anniversary of the trade that brought right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez to Cleveland. The Indians sent former first-round picks Drew Pomeranz and Alex White and two others to the Colorado Rockies for Jimenez.

The Indians did not receive an ace but a pitcher in transition. No longer able to dominate with high-90s heat and a wicked?splitter, Jimenez relies more on changing speeds and locating.

Jimenez struggled with the new U in the final two months of 2011, going 4-4 with a 5.10 ERA in 11 starts. He was much worse for much longer last year, going 9-17 with a 5.40 ERA in 31 starts.

This season, however, Jimenez has managed to keep his team in the game most of the time. His effective outings rarely are pretty, but they still count.

On Sunday afternoon at Progressive Field, Jimenez was more than serviceable. He periodically dazzled.

Jimenez gave up two hits in eight?innings as the Indians defeated the Texas Rangers, 6-0, in front of 19,673 paid. The Indians?posted their?MLB-best 14th shutout,?11 of which have come?at Progressive Field. They haven't had 11 home shutouts since the 1968 team?notched?that number?for the?entire the?season.

The Indians swept the dangerous Rangers. On Friday, they won, 11-8, in 11 innings. On Saturday, behind 7 2/3 strong?from All-Star Justin Masterson, they won, 1-0. Masterson handed the baton to Jimenez.

"I don't think I've seen a series like that,'' said Mike Aviles, who hit a two-run homer Sunday.?"The Rangers have a lot of firepower, and they scored eight in the first game. It's almost like, 'Hey, guys, we better pack a lunch for the next couple of days because it's going to be a long game, regardless of who's on the mound. So you don't expect to shut them out the next two days. It just shows how well Masty and Ubaldo pitched.''

The Indians?had?not crafted back-to-back shutouts since May 13-14, 2008, against Oakland. They?had not swept Texas in a series of at least three games since Aug. 22-24, 2008 (three); they?had not?done so in Cleveland since Aug. 12-14, 1980 (three).

The Rangers entered this season at 26-8 against the Indians since the beginning of 2009. But the Tribe?won the 2013?season series,?5-1, including five straight victories.

The Tribe (56-48) remains three back of Detroit in the AL Central. Texas, second in the West at 56-49,?has dropped 12 of 15.

"Sometimes, you catch teams at a good time,'' Indians manager Terry Francona said. "There are so many ups and downs in a season. Fortunately, we won a couple of close ones.''

Francona did not need to chew as much gum as usual because Jimenez was relatively efficient.?Jimenez?walked three and struck out six. He threw 64 of 110 pitches for strikes.

"Ubaldo threw his fastball for strikes,'' Francona said. 'He was more aggressive with his fastball, which opened up the plate for his backdoor breaking ball.''

Jimenez?and catcher Yan Gomes?talked before the game about?establishing the fastball and not trying to be too fine.

"Using the fastball like we did?helped the?off-speed stuff,'' Jimenez said. "I had a good feel for the other pitches. Yan called a great game. We kept them off-balance.''

Jimenez is 8-5 with a 4.17 ERA. He has allowed?three or fewer earned runs in 16 of 21 starts.

Tribe starters are 8-2 with a 1.79 ERA?in the past 16 games.

"For the most part, the guys are attacking the zone better,'' Francona said.

The Indians took a 1-0 lead with two outs in the fifth. Jason Kipnis singled off right-hander Alexi Ogando to drive in Michael Bourn from third. Bourn had walked with two outs and moved to third on Nick Swisher's single.

Ogando allowed the one run on six hits in 4 2/3 innings,?walked two and struck out one. He threw 92 pitches. Ogando entered the game at 3-0 with a 0.84 ERA in eight appearances (two starts) against Cleveland covering 21 1/3 innings.

"We made Ogando work and got his pitch count up,''?Francona said. "Sometimes, that's how you beat good pitchers, because his stuff is filthy.''

The Indians scored three off lefty Robbie Ross in the sixth. Yan Gomes delivered?an RBI single and Bourn a two-run double, both?with two outs.

Aviles's homer?came in?the eighth.

The Rangers threatened in the first.

With one out, Elvis Andrus doubled to left-center. Andrus has hit safely in all 37 of his career games against Cleveland -- third-longest streak by a player against one team, career-opening or otherwise, since 1900.

Nelson Cruz walked. Adrian Beltre, swinging at the first pitch, grounded into a 5-4-3 double play. Beltre entered the day ranked seventh in the American League with a .310 average.

In the Tribe half,?Swisher had a one-out single and moved to second on Kipnis' single. The Kipnis at-bat lasted 12 pitches and included six consecutive fouls in a full count. Cabrera grounded into a fielder's choice and Michael Brantley flied to left. Brantley expressed disappointment in having missed squaring up a pitch he thought he could drive.

The Indians applied pressure again in the third. Gomes led off with a single and was erased by Bourn's grounder. Bourn moved to second on Swisher's single to left and to third on Kipnis' fly to right. Cabrera flied to center.

After walking Cruz in the first, Jimenez recorded 11 straight outs before A.J. Pierzynski led off the fifth with a bloop single to center. David Murphy walked. Jurickson Profar executed a sacrifice bunt.

Mitch Moreland, swinging at the first pitch, popped to shortstop Cabrera beyond second base. Moreland entered the day in an 0-for-17 slide. Leonys Martin grounded a full-count pitch toward first, where Swisher adeptly picked it.

Notable: Jimenez made a terrific play to retire?Martin on a bunt for the second out of the third. Jimenez got off the mound quickly and grabbed the ball with his bare?hand on the third-base side.

Gregory Sherl, The Accidental Poet

Gregory Sherl never wanted to be a writer.

"I want to ask every poet Do you regret discovering words," he writes in his latest book, Monogamy Songs. "I wake up and they are always under my pillow. I am talking about the words not the poets, but usually a poet is next to me anyway."

Sherl, 28, writes like he has no choice. Devotional, obsessive and erotic, his poems are marked with a sense of urgency. "If I could do anything else I would," he told HuffPost.

Sherl has obsessive compulsive disorder, and many of his poems center around his exhausting struggle with mental health, and his relationship with prescription drugs. "The greatest thing about Vicodin is everything," says one poem, reflecting a common sentiment in his work.

His poems are also consumed with love -- falling into it and out of it -- and focus unabashedly on sex. It's no surprise he's acquired a fan base of teenage girls on Tumblr with lines like this:

"She has so many knots in her hair because we are desperate in our fucking. Maybe desperate is not the right word. Think: necessary. Think: ?clat. Think the opposite of mediocre and then continue to think that until you grow bored."

Sherl's work has appeared in The Rumpus, Columbia Poetry Review, diode, Los Angeles Review and Poets.org. In the short time he's been writing poetry, he's published three collections, two chapbooks and recently sold a novel. His newest poetry collection, Glow, is due out in February 2014. Here's some Sherl for you. And more here.

He discussed his latest poetry collection, Monogamy Songs, when reached by phone in Mississippi, where he is currently enrolled in graduate school. Woozy, emotional and frenetic, Monogamy Songs charts a relationship from its ecstatic beginnings to its disastrous end in a series of prose poems.

HuffPost: How would you characterize what kind of writing you do? Are you a poet? Fiction writer? Would you label yourself any of these things?

Sherl: I?ve been writing poetry for about the last three years. As an undergraduate in creative writing at Florida State, I wrote only fiction. I was, like, poetry? Poetry still exists? Who reads poetry? Who writes poetry? Unless you get into the small community that is poets, it?s not really a thing people know about or really read, unfortunately.

After graduation, I went to grad school at Virginia Tech for fiction immediately. During my second semester, I took a poetry workshop as a joke. My teacher, Bob Hicok, is an incredible poet. When I first started writing, it was just prose poems. "Notes On A Candy Cane Tree" was one of the first poems I wrote. It came a little more naturally to me, probably because of where I was mentally too, concentration-wise. It was easier for me to do these short bursts of emotion instead of trying to span out into a story. So I just started writing poetry and stopped writing fiction entirely. It just clicked. My first collection, "Heavy Petting," included many poems I wrote during that first workshop. I dropped out of grad school at the end of that semester, moved home and started to adjunct. I was just writing a ton of poetry. Poetry, poetry, poetry.

HP: Tell me about your most recent poetry collection, Monogamy Songs.

S: The book charts my relationship with the character Z, and I wrote it chronologically as it was happening. There were the happy poems in the beginning, then things start to go, then things go to shit. I?d consider Monogamy Songs part memoir, part poetry. It has a lot of surrealist elements to it, but there?s also a lot of truth.

I started the book when I was working at an advertising agency writing ads for local car dealerships. I was terrible at it. But I wrote the ad copy so quickly that I was left with free time, and I?d just spend my work hours writing poems.

There are pieces in Monogamy Songs, especially the beginning, that feel hurried and rushed, there?s this desperate speed and need in the poems, and the emotions are the same way, and that?s probably because I was writing them that way, because I was at work.

I wrote the whole thing between November and March. The poems were written in order, some of them a couple a day. It was basically things happened this day, and I wrote them down.

HP: Your poems read like a bursts of energy, very vibrant and intense. Is that reflective of the way you write, or do you do a lot of editing and rewriting?

S: I do write quickly. I?ve written four poetry books since 2009 and two chapbooks. It's kind of this non-stop thing, this obsession. I have OCD. I think I?ve started to slow down recently, I?m writing much more slowly. This happened with age. I grew into my voice a little more. But I find the idea of something overly polished too much like a computer, like it was written by something not human.

I co-founded a poetry journal at my old school, and called it Vinyl. As you can tell from my poems, I?m very influenced by music, more so than reading other people's writing. I think there?s this purity to vinyl. There?s the hiss and the pop; it?s not perfect, it shows the human fault in the art. I believe that should be the case in writing. There should be faults in it. The hiss and the pop in the vinyl brings you closer to the artist.

Writing should be a little bit grainy, it should be a little bit raw. It should be every single thing flowing inside of us, and most of it isn?t pretty. If there is nothing at stake in what I?m reading, if there is nothing at stake for the writer, I am just not interested. You gotta be there. You have to basically bleed for it. If not, why are you trying to put this in the world.

HP: What role do sex and sexuality play in your writing?

S: Sex is awesome. Poetry is awesome. Shouldn't the two go together? When I first started reading poetry, I was confused at the lack of sex poems out there. (The more I started to read, the more I found, of course.)

Still, and I've said this in interviews before: There is never enough fucking in poetry. Less birds, more fucking.

My poetry is very much based in my personal life. Most of it could be considered straight nonfiction. Monogamy Songs is probably 75-80 percent memoir. Sexuality (or, more importantly, sensuality) is a big part of my life. And that comes out in my writing. I write what I like to read, and I like to read about sex.

HP: Have you ever dreamt a poem? Composed a poem in your sleep?

S: I was about to say that I never seem lucky enough to remember my dreams. But now I'm wondering if not being able to remember my dreams actually makes me luckier... What if the dreams are constant terrors, and I'm just saving myself? (I'm already on enough pills, you know?) It's nice to think that maybe there's a force field around me, even if it's only so powerful.

HP: How are your favorite contemporary writers? Who gets you excited?

S: The only two poetry books I've ever read in one sitting are Black Life and Awe, both by Dorothea Lasky. Lasky is a national treasure. She is also one of the sweetest human beings on the planet. I would not be a poet if it weren't for Bob Hicok. Section III of Ginsberg's "Howl" still makes me cry. Wendy Xu excites me to no end. I am jealous of almost everything she writes. I am excited to follow her career -- where will she go? Anywhere she wants. Dennis J. Bernstein's Special Ed should be required reading. Adrian Matejka makes me want to add swagger to every poem I write. I grew up reading Bukowski, and I'll probably die reading him. Monogamy Songs would not exist if not for Ben Mirov's Ghost Machine -- a collection so original and emotionally vulnerable that I wore out my copy and had to buy another.

Since I wrote fiction before moving on to poetry, most of my early influences are fiction writers: Aimee Bender, Bret Easton Ellis, Tobias Wolff, Sandra Cisneros, Nicole Krauss, J.D. Salinger, Barry Hannah, Ryan Boudinot, Amy Hempel -- the list could go on forever. Denis Johnson's Jesus' Son is the book that made me want to write a book. Lorrie Moore made me want to stop writing short stories because I knew I'd never write anything as good as "People Like That Are the Only People Here." Same for Kelly Link's Magic for Beginners (my favorite short story collection).

Below, read an early Sherl poem:

Heavy Petting In Cooper City, FL

We?re so young I still look out the window when you cry.
Still, this is how it starts: there is tongue kissing before baby
names. There is forgetting how to sleep alone before
baby names. Sometimes your thighs are too sweaty to hold
before baby names. Lately everything falls right out of me:
a wave having a seizure while someone tries to learn how to surf.
In this poem we are in bed because everyone can guess why.
We are in bed and I say Your tongue is the coldest tap. That is a lie.
You are so fucking warm. You are an electric blanket we keep next
to the icebox. In bed I say You are the equivalent of seven brownies.
You say Prove it. So this is what I do: I bake the sun up.
We forgot to draw the blinds, so I bake the sun back down.
It is pitch black, so I bake some lightning bugs and tie them
to my chest hair. While I bake, you go into the other room and send me
dirty text messages with descriptions of your back spread out like a speedway.
I have to go into the icebox to cool off. I don?t turn on the electric blanket.
My blood is milk, skim, thin enough to reach my toes. I have shivered
in my sleep since at least eight years before we met.
There is a timer, and then the timer is done being a timer. I am done baking.
I hold the seven brownies in my lap while you drive us to the doctor?s
office. The doctor checks your blood pressure, feels for lumps. Then he checks
the brownies for lumps. I was smooth with the icing, and the doctor
is pleased. He puts his stethoscope to the seven brownies, says
Big breath now. The brownies puff out their chests like muffins.
They sigh like long distance runners. The doctor takes off his latex gloves.
He says Equivalent, like it was a category on Jeopardy! He says
Homologous, synonymous, identical, tantamount, indistinguishable.
The doctor looks at me. He wants to know if the brownies
came from a box. I tell him I picked them from the garden,
that I was turned on by how soft the soil felt between my toes.
He says And her? pointing at you. I tell him I keep an Easy Bake
Oven between the sheets.

Michelle Obama ?Shifting? to Push Gun Control

WASHINGTON (AP) -- It's a second term for Michelle Obama, too, and she's shifting her social-issues emphasis to kids and gun violence after spending four years stressing better physical fitness for the young.

A meeting with high school students from a poor, gang-infested neighborhood in Chicago, her hometown, led Mrs. Obama to put a new spin on the stalled legislative debate over whether to ban firearms or impose new background checks on people who want to buy guns.

A mother to a teen and a tween, Mrs. Obama argues that the debate also is about the country's obligation to help kids like these grow up and become adults. Several of the school's current and former students were killed by gunfire within the past year.

The first lady faces the issue of immigration Tuesday when she gives the keynote speech at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza, a Latino advocacy group. Immigration is one of President Barack Obama's top second-term priorities.

Aides say the first lady isn't making gun violence a new and distinct issue, but is folding it into her work encouraging youth to focus on getting an education.

By reaching beyond the pair of relatively safe issues she has pushed - reducing childhood obesity and rallying public support for military families - the Harvard-trained lawyer who some say has played it safe is showing a willingness to step outside of her comfort zone.

She'll need to tread carefully, though. Americans tend to prefer that their first ladies leave the heavier policy lifting to the president.

Rosalynn Carter was criticized for attending Cabinet meetings and Hillary Rodham Clinton was pilloried for running a health care task force in secret. Mrs. Obama is viewed favorably by about two-thirds of the public, higher than her husband, who had a favorability rating of about 53 percent, according to recent polls.

Mrs. Obama fell out of public favor during the 2008 presidential campaign over comments deemed unpatriotic. But once in the White House, she declared herself "mom in chief" to her two kids, planted a vegetable garden, pushed the childhood obesity and military family issues, and resurrected her public standing.

At three fundraisers one day in May - one in Boston and two in New York, including on Park Avenue - Mrs. Obama talked about a meeting she had with some of the "best and brightest" students at Chicago's Harper High School, including the valedictorian, a star athlete and ROTC participants.

But instead of "reveling in the joys of their youth," like completing college applications, planning for the prom or getting a driver's license, she told the audiences of Democratic donors that "these young people were consumed with staying alive."

"There are so many kids in this country just like them, kids with so much promise, but so few opportunities, good kids who are doing everything they can to break the cycle and beat the odds," Mrs. Obama said. "We need to be better for them. We need to be better for all of our children in this country because they are counting on us to give them the chances they need for the futures they all deserve."

It is unclear whether Mrs. Obama will continue to speak about gun violence or immigration after the address to La Raza. The speech is one of her few remaining public events before she takes her traditional month off in August. But her words and actions on the gun issue have drawn notice.

She recently said that first ladies, more than presidents, "get to work on what we're passionate about."

"You have an opportunity to speak to your passions and to really design and be very strategic about the issues you care most about," Mrs. Obama said at a recent forum in Tanzania with African first ladies. "And I just found it just a very freeing and liberating opportunity."

First woman game warden in Texas dies

On this day in 1966, rancher and writer Cordia Duke died. Born Cordelia Jane Sloan in Missouri in 1877, she taught school as a teenager in the Oklahoma Territory before moving to Sherman County, Texas, to teach in a one-room school near the XIT Ranch. She married Robert L. Duke, foreman for the Buffalo Springs division of the XIT Ranch, in 1907. In the ensuing years Cordia Duke chronicled the stories and activities of ranch hands and thus recorded a rapidly vanishing way of life. Her articles appeared in magazines such as the Cattleman. In the 1920s she was appointed the first woman game warden in Texas when the land surrounding the Duke homestead was designated a wildlife sanctuary. Passages from her diary as a ranch wife eventually became the basis of a book titled 6,000 Miles of Fence, published in 1961.

U.S. probes Southwest Air's LaGuardia landing

By Jonathan Allen

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. safety regulators launched an investigation on Tuesday into the collapse of the front landing gear on a Southwest Airlines plane shortly after it touched down at New York's LaGuardia Airport on Monday evening.

The National Transportation Safety Board said the Boeing 737 skidded 2,175 feet on its nose after the front gear collapsed backwards into the fuselage, damaging avionics and electronics. Nine people out of 150 passengers and crew on board suffered minor injuries, the NTSB said.

The agency had been considering not investigating the incident further, but decided on Tuesday it required further scrutiny. The accident occurred at 5:45 p.m. (2145 GMT) as Southwest's Flight 345 arrived at LaGuardia from Nashville, Tennessee.

The NTSB has an investigator at LaGuardia and is reviewing flight data and cockpit voice recorders at its Washington headquarters. It will also interview the pilots.

Boeing said it has people at the airport who are supporting Southwest and is providing technical assistance to the NTSB.

The landing gear is made by a unit of United Technologies Corp. Company officials have said they were looking into the incident, but could not be reached for further comment.

The accident closed one of the busiest airports in the region for more than an hour Monday evening. More than 180 flights in and out of the airport were canceled by Tuesday afternoon, according to the FlightStats tracking service.

The runway where the jet landed reopened on Tuesday, though the airport reported delays through the day. There were delays of around 90 minutes on Tuesday morning as result of the incident, said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the area's airports. There were similar delays at the airport on Tuesday afternoon, but they were a result of low clouds, he said.

The hobbled plane was towed to a hangar, Coleman said.

Southwest spokeswoman Whitney Eichinger said the carrier was cooperating with the safety probe but could not predict how long it would take.

After 2012 near miss, Georgia coach Mark Richt ready for this season

Georgia coach Mark Richt speaks at SEC Media Days in Hoover on Thursday.

Robert Sutton | The Tuscaloosa News

Published: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 10:18 a.m.

Last Modified: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 10:18 a.m.

HOOVER | The Georgia Bulldogs took national champion Alabama to the wire last December in the SEC Championship Game, losing 32-28 and finishing just 5 yards away from a winning score at the end.

Georgia went 12-2 last season and is the pick of the media to win the SEC Eastern Division again.

Head coach Mark Richt returns for his 13th season at Georgia.

"That's exciting for me to still be at Georgia," Richt said Thursday at SEC Media Days. "It's a lot of fun."

Last year's run to nearly topple Alabama from the top of the SEC heap is a motivating factor for Georgia.

"We got a taste of how close you can get and not quite get it done," Richt said. "The goal for us is to get to Atlanta (for the SEC title game) as it always is."

The Bulldogs have 10 starters returning on offense, including quarterback Aaron Murray, who has passed for more than 3,000 yards in each of his three previous seasons as the starter.

"Aaron Murray, great player, has had all the competition in the world in SEC games throughout his career," RIcht said. "He's a 365-day-a-year quarterback. Every day he's got a plan to get better.

"He's a very, very gracious ambassador for Georgia and we're blessed to have him."

Running backs Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall are back after combining for more than 2,100 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns last year.

"Murray knows that a great running back and a great running game is his best friend," Richt said.

The Bulldogs have to replace seven starters on defense, including stars like linebackers Jarvis Jones and Alec Ogletree.

Georgia's schedule will be tougher this season, starting with the opener at Clemson followed by a key SEC East home game against South Carolina. The Bulldogs also play Florida in the East and have LSU at home.
