You want the Cleveland fans to move on, yet you still take potshots at your former organization:

“Everything is built around winning and forget everything else. Over there, everything is petty, worried about the wrong thing – what a guy is saying, what a guy is making. There’s just too much foolishness over there and too many people there who are still worried about the wrong thing.” (Yahoo Sports)

Well, I don’t know about the money aspects or being worried about the wrong things, but if it’s one thing we do well around here, it’s “petty” and “foolishness”.

Enjoy your contract negotiations, dick.

Apparently there was some form of Hall of Fame announcering going on today, but MLB’s attempt to out-shout us will be denied.  Buckeye Nation (Me, Spence, and NickP), be proud as we salute the greatest catches in the history of the last decade’ish of The Ohio State University (and therefore, among the greatest catches in the history of football).

The Inaugural Class of the Hall of Fame of Greatest Ohio State Buckeye Catches* is comprised of exactly three catches:  Michael Jenkins, Jake Ballard, and Anthony Gonzalez. Jenkins preserved the National Championship season.  Ballard went Air Jordan on the Ducks, leading the way to a Rose Bowl win.  Gonzalez, sacrificing himself, kicked Michigan in the teeth with an amazing catch, down 2, with 45 seconds to play.

Note: All nominees must have received a minimum 3 votes from the Official MLJ HOF Election Committee.

In conjunction with Major League Promise #3, the first order of business is to once again make reference to the Florida Marlins and their continued winning streak. Things are going so well in Miami that they actually signed one of their talented free agent for once. If they keep it up, people will actually remember that they’ve won 2 World Series since 1997 instead of lumping them in with the Tampa Bay Rays. The Marlins celebrated by kicking the shit out of the Nationals, which is how I celebrated the birth of my son (true story). Dan “I said stop calling me Mr. Owl” Uggla hit his 9th homer of the year. Marlins win 11-0

Mets 12, Reds 6 (game 1): Johan Santana decided to do just enough to register a quality start in the first game of the double header. Santana went 6 innings giving up 3 runs on 10 hits and a walk. The Reds stranded 8 men on base in those six innings, and they would have needed all of them as the Mets scored 12 runs for the second game in a row.

Astros 5, Dodgers 0: Don’t look now, but the Trolley Dodgers are doing their best to show the National League that they aren’t for real after all. This is their third loss in a row during which time they’ve scored a total of 2 runs. Chad Billingsly took the loss giving up 5 runs (4 earned) in 5 innings of work.

Stigs’ Game of the Night*: As we have clearly established, Stigs is probably a fat, cheese smelling dude who drinks a lot of beer. As such, his game of the night features brother in arms, Kevin Youkilis who, well let’s face it, is no spring chicken. This dude ate a sandwich while trotting around the bases last night [photo not found] after hitting his 6th HR in 7 games. Youk went 2/5 with a RBI and RS which is something I imagine a blue collar guy like Stigs appreciates about fellow Midwesterner Kevin Youkilis. Well actually, Youk is from Cincinnati, and I hear that some Ohioans consider themselves East Coast. Can we get a ruling on this? Judges? …It’s official, Ohio is a part of the Midwest. Anyway, Dice-K was good but Stigs doesn’t care about that. Sox win, 5-2.

RomanWarHelmet’s Game of the Night*: Few people enjoy complaining about their team as much as RWH so for today I will pretend he’s a fan of the Brewers to add a little variety to his life. “What a cocktease that game was. Fielder ties the game up in the bottom of the 8th, the first time he’s gone yard in two weeks only to watch Eric ‘Fuckin’ Gagne blow another game open in the top of the 9th? What was he doing in there anyway, I thought he only blew saves? Didn’t he come here because he claimed he thrived under the pressure of closing out games? So much for that theory, you fat bastard.” And….scene. Cardinals win 5-3.

I consented to allowing a second Ohio contributor to join the team because he “goes to the blog all the [obsenity] time and he’s [long obsenity] tired of seeing so much [short obsenity] AAAA talk.” I can only imagine that “AAAA” is code for National League teams, but he’s from Ohio and wasn’t properly educated so who knows. You know him as spence096, we know him as, “I like cream and sugar in my coffee, new guy.” A round of applause.
