I thought you said looks were what drew you to the Indians to begin with, via Grady?
I believe in Carl Pavano.

Only kind of. He just got me interested along with beating the Yankees. However there are plenty of teams with cute players (Dodgers- Andre Ethier) that I don’t like at all so there is clearly more.

I’d say our offense has given up, but we’ve got some serious mediocrity in our lineup.

I think both Lofgren and Gomez are slated to start game 2 of day-night double-headers this afternoon. Scott Lewis is having a good rehab start in Akron.

He’d also bring back smoking in the bullpen. And every time he reacted to a hit, we could accuse him of over-acting.

Does he smoke? He just dropped a bit in attractiveness.

You know something, even if that Wells line drive had dropped, Gosling made the right pitch. It’s the f’ing opposing pitcher with the based loaded. Get the ball in play.

The best Genesis games by far were the horrific, blatantly commercial ones. My orthodontist had a Sega arcade machine in the waiting room, and I played Aladdin and that 7-Up game every time just to reflect on how so much work could be put into making something so perplexingly awful.

That was a screen shot for “Cool Spot” if anybody’s bursting with curiosity to see a 16-bit anthropomorphic 7-up logo.

Kind of like how Wedge basically hung Sowers out to dry (not that the pen isn’t overworked…) but almost as if to say, “if this is my last game, chuckers…. then let me at least show you your 2004 1st round pick (#6 overall) who never really gave me a chance to compete whenever he worked”.
