DUH!!!! I wonder if they are going to pay him next year to do nothing to.....of course if they don't he's going to go to another team and be the league MVP.

At least we made it to the 3rd and aren't losing yet.

Hoynes just updated the team injury situation on cleveland.com about 20 minutes ago. It's now posted in Articles.

"Dennis Eckersley" was the answer to the Seattle broadcasters trivia question.

"Whose wife was married to a current Tribe broadcaster" was the question.

Of course the brain trust in their infiinite wisdom dumped the hall of famer and left us with a stiff bad announcing banjo hiitter when the hall of famer's wife was fooling around with the banjo hitter. S ome things about the tribe never changes. Best memory as a tribe fan was going to Eck's no hitter. Well it wasnt a total loss at least we got ted cox and mike paxson and rick wise and some dead catcher whose name escapes me. I got hit by a car about 4 hours ago so the brain may not be working about now.

Fausto with a lot of zeros.

Cry me a river: Thames hits one out.

what is his name now?

Yes it is true. Who was the stiff catcher we got in the Eck deal?

Never mind wickepedia exists now it was bo diaz.

Well, are you OK? How did it happen?

Eckersley was traded with Fred Kendall on March 30, 1978 to the Boston Red Sox for Rick Wise, Mike Paxton, Bo Diaz, and Ted Cox. In the book The Curse of Rocky Colavito, author Terry Pluto noted that the trade was necessitated by an awkward situation, namely that Eckersley's wife had left him for teammate Rick Manning.[1] Over the next two seasons, Eckersley won a career-high 20 games in 1978 and 17 games in 1979, with a 2.99 ERA in each year. However, during the remainder of his tenure with Boston, from 1980 to 1984, Eckersley pitched poorly. His fastball had lost some steam, as demonstrated by his 43–48 record with Boston. He later developed a great slider.

Podiatrist, huh? Maybe she was trying to run over your foot, to drum up some business?

End of 6 already, still 1-0, Wedgies.
