Groundhog Day

Headline from Cabot today:

"Cleveland Browns plan to get Josh Cribbs more involved in the offense"

Been hearing that one for years. Because for years now, we've heard and seen he's the best player on the team. But from the article:

"Cribbs, who touched the ball only six times against the Chiefs -- including returns -- is eager for the increased role."

And of course the coaches are right there with the fans...

"Mangini also lamented the Browns scant use of the wildcat formation against the Chiefs -- one time to be exact -- and would like to see more of it, especially with Seneca Wallace starting at quarterback. "

The head coach, the HMFIC, would really like to see Josh get more touches, and is disappointed that he's not. This team is just insanity.

This guy deserves to play for a better team.

51, 52 ...

Keep it goin', Jose, I'm in your corner.  If only you had enough time to hit 19 more...

Gorgeous outing tonight for Josh Tomlin.  Pitching in a game that clinched the evasion of a 100 loss season, Josh turned in his best start to date, a complete game 4-hitter.  Love it.  I think Tomlin solidified his hold on a place in the '11 starting rotation.  In fact, outside of Carmona, I'd say he's the only one.

Aroldis Champan to Adrian Gonzalez: 101, 102, 103, bench.

Here's the Carmelo trade we've all been waiting for -- Anthony to the Nets, Derrick Favor and Andrei Kirilenko (expiring contract) plus 2 1st round picks (Nets in '11, Warriors via Nets in '12) to the Nuggets, Devin Harris to the Bobcats, Boris Diaw to the Jazz.  Why is the NBA the only league that needs to use 4 teams to complete a trade?  Expect Car-Smell-O to sign an extension (prerequisite for NJ) and the deal to get done this weekend.

Go Bucks!
