I watched both games and woke up my wife with a loud "YES!!" when Swisher went long. Took me a while to get to sleep but feel like crap today.

Players have to be tired too but it is better if you are tired after a sweep.

Francona played players well yesterday, resting some and playing some but I did question letting Carrasco stay in a bit too long. Hill should have pitched to de Aza who had hit Carrasco pretty well. Carrasco needs to pitch inside despite his history.

Anyway I am not griping, just observing.

In all, a great day.

The 2nd game of the double header for Cleveland is still going on while it is a Friday night and 75% of the very few Cleveland "residents" who actually work do not have to go to work tomorrow.

Shut this crap down !

That's right. I went to bed earlier than usual last night, not b/c I had driven 7 hours back home from Baltimore, but because I hate Mark Shapiro.

.........................................SWEEP!!!

Here's a pic from 2005 in Winter Haven. If you recall, the Indians did NOT get to the WS that year. Instead of working the phones for a trade that would have put us over the top, Shapiro sat with this dude in a wheelchair, and talked with him for 20 minutes or more. What a jerk! btw, it was DONNA who put him up to this, so let's all give some hatred to her, too.

Nice pic, JR. Brings back memories.

Is that Donna in the white behind Shapiro?

Could be a seagull in the khaki shorts?

Thanks for posting that picture again.

That was the last time I saw Jim. It was difficult to talk with him b/c his voice was almost gone. But he was in good spirits, and enjoyed being in WH with his friends from the forum.

Tribe is up 4-3 in the 9th. Cabrera and Kipnis have homered for us.

CP sets them down, 1-2-3.

..............WE WIN!!!

Swisher’s homer in the ninth inning Friday night helped Cleveland secure a sweep of a marathon doubleheader Friday night./quote]

Yup it's really time to trade him and dump his overpriced contract.

Bourn off having a baby. Sale retired the first 6 Indians, fanning 4 of them.
