I feel just as comfortable with Jhonny Peralta flagging down high pop-ups as I did with Omar. Even when Jhonny’s struggled with the ball on the ground, he’s always taken charge and flagged down the high flies.

with each of these last outings from Laffey, his value to the franchise has increased dramatically. He’s got two things which mean he won’t be traded:
a) he’s doing well and likely to keep getting better (sort of, anyway)
b) he’s cheap for the next 4-5 years

I’m not super worried about him contributing this year as a reliever. If he can stay healthy the rest of the year as a starter & then take Byrd’s spot at the end of the rotation next year, I will be perfectly happy with that.

You know what movie was disappointing? Along Came Polly. The movie should be better than it is. Ben Stiller is playing the dorky but caring guy who tries too hard (or the same guy he has played in every movie he’s ever been in). Jennifer Aniston is playing the attractive girl. Plus, it has Phillip Seymour Hoffman, so you know its Oscar-worthy. Yet, it was horrid. I wasn’t going in expecting a cinematic masterpiece, but I thought it would at least be funny. Instead it was just uncomfortable and painfully slow. Anyhow, this review brought to you by flipping through during the injury delay and seeing that it was airing on USA right now.

Ditto. Though Lost has enough commercials that you can usually keep an eye on the Tribe & not feel like you’re missing too much.

I don’t know, but when he was playing CF the last time I saw a game in Pittsburgh, he had quite the tiny-but-loud fanclub out in the bleachers. I think they were just friends of his, though.

I thought maybe this was a joke that I had missed. On a lark, I looked him up. He even has a spot in Wikipedia. Here’s an interesting tidbit:
McLouth made the Pittsburgh Pirates 2006 opening day lineup as a backup outfielder, sending OF Jody Gerut to start the year in Triple-A.

As bad as Raffy has been, he hasn’t blown a save for us that has led to a loss since he took over about a month ago. In his only four save situations of the season, JoeBo blew two of them leading to losses. I don’t get it.

You know, this “We’ll get married when Jason Tyner hits a home run in the majors” story is not particularly endearing. I don’t think I’d marry that guy.

The worst part is that I’m only half listening to this & only have the vaguest idea what the hell he’s talking about. I suppose this is a byproduct of Betancourt pitching, lots of dead air to fill.

I’m worried about interleague play. If the offense is struggling, there’s going to be the temptation to use a pinch-hitter for the pitcher in tight spots, which takes the starting pitcher (the Indians’ strength) out of the game early. Of course, there’s a chance it never unfolds this way….just saying…
