Whistle Stops

ManRam is officially a ChiSock.  It's a straight waiver claim as Chicago chose to take on Manny's entire salary rather than send the Dodgers a prospect in exchange for $ relief.

Jason Knapp has been clocked up to 99MPH w/ the Captains.

I was at Jacobs for Asdrubal's walk-off on Saturday.  How depressing.  Not only was the crowd pathetically small, not only were they disengaged from the game action, but as soon as I exited the stadium proper, no one seemed to care that the Indians had racked up a dramatic win.  It's a lost season.  And a shame.

Head and Shoulders has insured Troy Polamalu's hair for $1mil.

Maurice Clarett has signed a 1-yr deal with the Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL.  It is likely, but not definite, that a judge will allow Mo to leave the state.

The Bengals cut free agent signee Antonio Bryant.  Given that no one else will claim him due to his ailing knees, Cincy will just swallow the $8mil in guaranteed money from the 4-yr, $28mil they gave him in the spring,

  1. I was there for the game on Sunday. Same exact experience. It was the atmosphere of a AA game. No one cared. It may go beyond a lost season, and the Tribe may be doing long term harm to their fan base. Even the hard core fans are blah.
