One little Cleveland Indian



There are few bright spots to the Cleveland Indians' season so far, but one of the players I have the most fun watching is pitcher Mitch Talbot.
He has, quite possibly, been the Indians' best pitcher so far this year, despite entering the season with only three games of previous experience, with Tampa Bay in 2008.
He seems to know how to pitch, and even succeeds when he doesn't have his best stuff.

Another good song by XTC


This one actually got a little radio play. It got to #72 on the Billboard chart.

A good song by XTC

This was in a 12-inch LP I have around the house somewhere. When I got it, I played it over and over and over.
Note the train-ish rhythm and the lyrics that kinda of match up.
I can't understand why they didn't record this one and put on an album somewhere.

This about says it all

It was a perfect game

As a Cleveland Indians fan, i certainly did not want to see my team be the victim of a perfect game by Detroit's Armando Galarraga, however, the blown call that ended the game moments ago makes a great case for instant replay.
Jason Donald did not reach the first base before Galarraga's foot touched the bag. It was not a hit.
I wish there was some way to MLB to review that call and give Galarraga the perfect game he deserves.
Donald probably appreciates the extra hit, though ...
I wish I could find a photo of the blown call. If I find one, I'll post it later.
