They announced it just a few days after the trade, and specifically mentioned waiting for this series.

He was 2-0 with a 1.54 ERA in his two starts. He also went 2 for 4 with a run, double, and 2 RBIs. If Mesa hadn’t blown the save in Game 7, Chad Ogea would have been the World Series MVP.

I’ll be there tonight, Craig…I’ll tweet at you from the game.

Should be a fun night in Cleveland.

“(a) it’s baseball and baseball is wonderful; and” – ABSOLUTELY!

“(b) there’s some to-do afoot tonight regarding Jim Thome.” – ICING ON THE CAKE

This is from a Phillies fan. Often times I have a severe case of fateagles. There are two sports seasons, baseball season and the off season.

Sandy Alomar Jr. averaged just a bit over a Win Above Replacement during his Indians career. Paul Sorrento averaged just a bit over a Win Above Replacement during his Indians career.

Baerga is the one who doesn’t belong, averaging over 2 WAR per year during his Indians career.

I realize that the comment may have been a slam against Ogea, but I don’t think that’s accurate.

Sadly, I don’t live in Ohio.

Craig, steal an extra poster for me.

Thome has a lot of friends in the other clubhouse tonight too.

Supposed to include Maris and Mantle families, Yogi, Whitey, ghost of The Major, etc.
