Come on joe get your head in the game
Come on Joe, get your head in the game!
We were up 7-4 in the eighth inning, and I had no worries. We had runners on for Travis Hafner and all I needed was to sit back and watch.
Everything was perfect. The Indians were cruising along, and in the ninth they brought in Joe Smith. This was going to be an easy finish, or maybe not… Noonan!
But Joe got the first out of the ninth easily, and I thought that I was just being optimistic, but then maybe I was wrong? There were then two outs with no one on, when a guy laid down a perfect bunt single, with two outs!??! And this is how I looked…
I bit my nails, and I knew we were in for a big finish. Joe delivered and all of a sudden, BOOM! Single down the right field line. Luckily he was thrown out at second, whew.
But the game was still tied, and I danced around the house throwing things.
But I didn’t fret, I knew that we played a good game, but we tied. But we are still the best team in the Cactus League! undefeated! And hopefully we can keep it that way. We have two ties on the year, and we might get caught in another one along the way.
Let’s just hope Joe can keep his head in the game.

That RBI baseball screenshot just brought back lots of good memories. Ted, you weren’t even born when that came out! Still, you should check it out sometime. Today’s youth is a bit spoiled by the unbelievably realistic graphics and game experiences available.

Don’t the Cavs have a guy named Joe
Smith? Or was that last year?
MLB 10 the show
is the best video game ever, besides NHL 10. I am
terrible at it, but it’s awesome. I was
drafted by the Tigers!
Jeff: Us kids are spoiled by the gaming
graphics of real life, but still there are always
those glitches. 
And then all of a sudden you
have 30 million people trying to post them on
Youtube, that’s our society.
TotalBases: That was a few years ago I’m pretty sure. You were drafted by the Tigers, what a shame…

I think it was last year, because I remember the Celtics wanted him. Yeah, I was hoping to be drafted by the Red Sox.
Game is at 3PM ET, but it’s not televised. Tomorrow will be televised on STO.
Total Bases: It never works that way, dang video games.
Indians: Okay thanks consider me turning on STO then.

Tomorrow I’m in Ft. Myers to watch the
Red Sox-Twins game 
Totalbases: Well that’s good for you, nothing like getting out to ole Fla and seeing nice weather.

Yeah, woohoo! LOL
Wish the Tribe well this
year. Too bad their out in Arizona, I’d love
to see them play. Question: As an Indians fan, how
did you feel seeing Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia in
the World Series? There was a lot of talk on
Boston sports raidio about that. Just interested
on an Indians fan’s take.
“The fans are ruthless and don’t
deserve a winner. I will never forget getting
cheered when I was injured. I know at times I
wasn’t great. I hope and pray I’m
playing when my team comes to town and [we] roll
them.”

Whoa, what do you think of
this Ted? I think browns fans are very loyal and
deserve winners. (Sounds like Bruins fans!)
Total Bases: On your question regarding Lee and Sabathia, it’s fine. They had to go. We weren’t a contending team and we got great prospects out of it!
I really liked the trades, and I wouldn’t have taken them back.
It’s fine that they were in the World Series, it just shows how good the Indians General management is, they got both Sabathia and Lee. Lee came over from the Angels.
Does Derek know that he sucked? Obviously not.
