driv·el (drĭv'əl): idiotic utterance; silly nonsense
Lady Sizemore has selected Back Door Man by the Doors for his at-bat music. Fantastic selection. In fact, it's the best selection I've heard in a while. I heard Brass in Pocket earlier, but I don't think anyone claimed this as a personal theme song. They get the Pretenders and we get Def Leppard. Hardly fair.

Going into the bottom of the 4th, it's currently at 3-0, Sox. Bronson is doing a-ok. Those daddy long legs are winding up pretty confidently this evening. His breaking ball is so good tonight, if it could sprout hands, it would point to the man upstairs, Papi-style, on its way into Tek's glove.

Did you know that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland? I'm sure that is a treat, reader.

Papi just solo homered. 4-0.

So, what the hell is going on with our Manny? Am I worried? No. He'll heat up eventually, but I'm wondering if a line up shift (nothing crazy) might help. Thoughts?

Aflac trivia question tonight: Who was the losing pitcher for the Indians in Game 5 of the 1999 ALDS? Answer: Paul Shuey. Charleston Chewy.

10-2, Tampa Bay (5th inning). Itchy, owie!

Bellhorn hit a long sac fly to score Kevin. 5-0. Tek just scored on a Damon double. 6-0.

How I keep batter counts:
0 - 1 = Nothin, Ace
0 - 2 = Nothin, Deuce or "Wait for it to go on sale!"
1 - 0 = Ace, Love
2 - 0 = Deuce, Squat
3 - 0 = Work a Walk
1 - 1 = Snake Eyes
2 - 1 = Deucy Acey
2 - 2 = Double Deuce
3 - 1 = Tracy* Acey
Full Count = Tracy Deucy
*Kerry added "tracy." It's complete now.

Going into the 7th and we are in good shape. Sauerbeck is coming in for Cleveland. Mo calls him sour balls.

Totally unrelated: I can't wait to see The Fantastic Four!

[It just occured to me that I forgot "1-2" on the count list, which was really the whole point. From the context of the list, it's not too hard to figure out my secret code for this ...]

Oh, I thought we were going to hit the Trifecta when I turned the computer off after the O's game last night. (Sox were on ESPN Monday night, and the Phillies tonight (with the bar association's annual outing going on).) But, alas, the Evil Rays could not sweep the Evil Empire. Maybe with all those runs, the empire will have none left for tonight and can lose two of three at home to the worse road team in the AL. At least we know that the unit guy had to sit down after the game.

That was a tough one for RJ. I can see Steinbrenner walking into the clubhouse after the game - big smiles and congratulations and pats on the back all around, and then he gets to Randy and gives him the Georgie stare down.

I hope your theory is right re: nothing left for tonight.

I was hoping for a sweep so that there would be another clubhouse tirade by Georgie Porgie.

If the season ended right this minute, the Red Sox would be in the playoffs! I think they can beat the White Sox enough on the road to give the Orioles the home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Somebody (Miguel, Brian, Mel, Manny, David, Jason or even Johnny)will hit a homer when it counts in the All Star Game. Maybe it will be Manny pinch hitting in the late innings, to jump-start his second half of the season.

Indeed the yanks already lost today. And actually have one more vs. the Dr. DRays, so it could be 3 out of 4 even. I heard Brass In Pocket when Trot came up yesterday. I think they were making fun of him for thinking he's "special," which makes no sense. But then Tribe fans cheered when a pitch nearly hit him. Do the Indians hate Trot for some reason I'm forgetting?

Def Lep rules! (up through Hysteria)

3 out of 4 might be enough to draw a hissy fit. Rays are 5-1 for the year against the Yanks so far.

I believe that we are beyond hissy fits, at this point. Spontaneous combustion is the next floor down on the elevator.

Apparently I was a bit off. This morning's paper says the Evil Rays have taken 6 of 9 from the Yankees this year, including 3 of 5 in the Bronx, despite being 4-27 in all other road games.

Sorry, Jere. High 'n Dry was the limit for me. Although I do admire their Spinal Tap ways. Take a licking, and keep on ticking. That's true rock n roll.

Trot has a temper. Maybe he freaked out during a game with Cleveland once. I don't know. I've got nothin.
