Wow, it's been a long time. Anyway, let's talk baseball. I can honestly say that if you would've told me 2 years ago of a CC Sabathia vs. Cliff Lee game 1 of the World Series, I'd say you're out of your mind. But given the Phillies' clinching last night, and the way the Yanks are playing, it's looking more and more like that's going to happen. It's a shame how many former Indians you can see in these games. In the Philly-LA series, you had Lee, Ben Francisco, Charlie Manual (yeah, I'll count him), Casey Blake, Ronnie Belliard, (newly-acquired) Jim Thome, and Manny Ramirez. That's nuts. I miss those guys a lot, especially Thome. Jim Thome made my childhood enjoyable. He'd put his heart and soul into every game he played for us, which made it even tougher to stomach when he left Cleveland for Philadelphia, and later the division-rival Chicago White Sox. Now it looks like Thome is going to need a new home, most likely in the American League. I hope he goes to a competitor. He can still hit, and would be a great addition. If the Indians didn't have the terrifying contract of Travis Hafner, I think we'd pick him back up. Oh well...I can always hope...
