Gosh!!...that was highly amusing stuff,sir!


I've always thought a huge mistake was made when they switched him from stratocaster to dropper.He has dh written all over him.It's funny, good defensive catchers are important.Thy have one in Lou...Marston,I think? Between the two positions, I'd much rather have Santana at first.

Here's why( a few instant broadcast replays):

================================================== ====

"Masterson delivers, runner going from first!....called strike 3....oh what a throw by Santana to second!! Bob, if that throw were just 40 feet lower....the runner is a dead duck at second."

"Yous said it,Ray."

================================================== =
"Shoo circles the fly ball,times the the catch perfectly on the run.....here comes the throw home......Santana applies the tag!!....What's this? The umpire calls the runner safe?"

"Santana didn't have the ball,Ray."

"He didn't?"

"Uh, no."

"How could he miss it? The throw was perfect!"

"New Santana category: Passed balls on outfield throws to home."

================================================== ====

"Aw fer fucl< sakes, Bob."

"Santana just is not a catcher,Ray."

"Bob, how does a 98 mph fast ball right down the middle of the plate get missed by the batter....yet the catcher commits a passed ball??"

"He fell down."

"How the fucl< do you fall down in a catchers crouch!!?"

" Ah dunno, Ray."

Tribe shopping Masterson, Choo....Red Sox interested. Also taking offers for Cabrera and Perez. Could enter season with only 4 major league players on the roster....Brantley, Kipnis, Santana and Pestano. It should work. Maybe they can get Urns back from the Marlins, they're having a big fire sale there. A 550 at bat season for Urns wearing Tribe gear is needed.

A full season of Obaldo last year almost made me miss Talbots too. Talbots may have been just a hair better.

!!

But you know, the one thing that scares me is their dangling Masterson.His first full year as a starter was a deceptively very good one.Last season , it was Jeckyll/Hyde.....literally.One game off, one on, one off....etc.

Unless they get overwhelmed....that's a trade not to make.

But "only"?

That's not so bad for the Tribe lately.

It's time to ask the question. Will inner-city be undefeated for his career at OSU???

It is looking that way,aye?



Let's hope The Dope says Michigan is not going to lose to Ohio State next Saturday.

this is cool, at this present time after last night the Browns and Cavs have identical 2-7 records, it can keep going as after tonight both will have identical 2-8 records. that might be just about the coolest thing in the world. And then the Cavs don't play again until Wednesday, I mean how many times has that happened when a NBA and NFL team in the same city in late November have identical records at the end of 4 straight calendar days. There must be some kind of major award for this accomplishment, no??

Cleveland sports, where meaningless records go to die. Elias sports mathematicians need to study this upcoming feat.

more good cleveland stat stuff. Kyrie Irving with the oddest point guard stat line I've ever seen last night...

26 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists

I wondered how is it possible a point guard playing over 30 minutes could possibly have 0 assists, then I looked deeper and saw everyone else shot about 2 for 15 and then it all made sense. Poor Kyrie!, free agency is one day closer! I'm however confident he won't conduct a 6 hour EVPN special on his signing day and announce where he will be taking hie talents and he will modestly thank the city of cleveland and it's fans for supporting him.
