Seems like just yesterday that I got to share my NFL Sundays with her.  Whatta I got now Fox?  Huh?  Thanks a lot.  Jerks.

Look, Ma! A Real Major League Baseball Team!

The clean-up hitter (Shelley Duncan tonight) goes deep twice, accounting for all 4 runs + Josh Tomlin goes 6.2 for his 4th win + Chris Perez closes it out in the 9th + 0 errors = 4 to 3 victory.  Some nights (few and far between) it doesn't look so hard.

The Clippers take a 1-0 advantage in the GovCup Finals with a thorough 18-5 thrashing of the Durham Bulls.  Jason Kipnis has 2 singles, a walk and 3 runs scored in his AAA debut.  David Huff went 7 allowing just 1 unearned run for the win.  Every starter had at least 1 hit as Columbus piled up 20.  Peace out.

Knock, Knock...

That's opportunity.  The Cavs D-League affiliate Erie BayHawks (is there a bay in Erie, PA?) will hold open tryouts at the Q on October 9th & 10th.  It costs a hundred and 50 bucks, but if you think that you've got the chops, start calling now.

One reason that Mitch Talbot has battled injuries in the 2nd half?  He was limited to about 68 IP last season and has now thrown over 150 for the Indians.  As much as I dislike the thought, it might be time to let David Huff eat a few more innings.

People do hate LeFraud!  CNBC reports that his Q score (let's just think of it as an approval rating) has fallen 77% since the decision.  Beforehand had a 24%+ & 22%- rating (the middle neutral) while those numbers have tumbled to 14%+, 39%- today.  The Q rating group describes it as the the most catastrophic collapse of support for any player not having committed a notable anti-social act (i.e. raping a chick in Colorado) in the 45 years that the service has been in operation.

My seats at the Shoe were wonderful, as was the defense.  Nothing in a Buckeye uni looked slow, that's for sure.

Peace.

There's No DL in September...

but Jason Donald is not likely to play much more this season.  Thus the Tribe has recalled Drew Sutton to do the utility IF thing and top prospect Jason Kipnis has joined the Clippers for the Governor's Cup Championship series.  Color me stoked.  Dude.

She's better than a crack and Starbucks sandwich.  And you have no valid argument against it.

Actual thoughts coming soon.  Cheers.

Shaun Lauvao hurt his ankle, forcing the Brownies to re-sign some scrub OL named Billy Yates.  Yay, right side of the line!

The Clippers dropped game 2 of their playoff series to the SWB Yanks 5-4 in 10 innings.  After Columbus came back from a 4 zip deficit, Saul Rivera gave up the game winning single in the 10th.  The Clips drew 12 walks but could not overcome the hole dug by 3 errors.  The series moves to eastern Penn for the final 3 games over the next 3 days.

I still f'ing hate the NFL for disallowing me from watching tonight's game.  Oh, the might dollar.

Cheers.

Every time I find a new chick that pops my eyes, it seems like she was on One Tree Hill.  How odd...

OH - IO!

OSU Game Notes for the Miami game.

& Miami's lame-ass version.

Cheers.

Whistle Stops

Justin Masterson moved to the 'pen for the rest of the season.  The move was made in response to his IP, the word is that he will show up to Goodyear next spring competing for a spot in the rotation.

The Clippers beat SWB 6-4 tonight in the 1st game of their postseason.  It's a best of 5 series with game 2 tomorrow in Columbus and the final three in Scranton.  Luke Carlin smacked a 2-run walk-off in the 10th after Vinnie Pestano blew it in the top of the 9th.

Victor Martinez turned down a 2-year contract extension from the BoSox.  He's looking for a longer term deal.

The Indians, always hungry for a new way to lose, just fell to the Angels 4-3 in 16 innings.

Cheers.

I remember her fondly from when Friday Night Lights was good.
