Puffs of Smoke
Speaking of smoke... Chris Sale was phenomenal against the Tribe tonight. Topping out at a brisk 98MPH and using his trademark deceptive delivery, the 6'5", 180lb sidearmer made Shin-Soo Choo and Shelley Duncan look out of their league. Pronk showed good patience before delivering a solid single up the middle, but Jason Nix went down looking and then promptly got ejected. Sale looks like the real deal. The Sox have yet to decide whether he will stick in the bullpen or return to a starting role, but he looks to have the chops either way. As Manning said, imagine if the 21 year old adds velocity as he fills out his lanky frame. Jeez.

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,
