That was a great game, but... I am really starting to feel for HD. Like me, he is familiar with figuratively getting kicked in the groin when it comes to sports. (I'm not exactly dripping with championships myself- I am a Buffalo fan)
Heck of a game going on in Cleveland. Indians have blown a 5 run lead to let the Brewers ahead 14-12 in the top of the eighth (half an inning now in excess of half an hour). Fielder had his first career grandslam.
After every half inning they are scaring away seagulls with fireworks. Seems to be working.

Hang in there HD. At least they've seemed to have solved the seagull problem.Ugh. I don't know how much more of this I can take.
Angels are 4-0 in Interleague Play in the month of June- and they're scoring more runs.
KCK, I told you this stretch could help out the Halos!

So let me get this straight: They poop on the home team, they can be scared off by explosions, and they show up mostly just to eat cheap and unhealthy snacks that they didn't even pay for themselves?! Are we sure those seagulls didn't come from Philadelphia?Brandon Koehnke, Progressive Field groundskeeper said, "They've come for peanuts, popcorn and hot dogs." "It's strictly a feeding issue," said Bob DiBiasio, Indians vice president of public relations. "When the team is out of town, or there's no game at Progressive Field, the gulls are nowhere to be found."
A few humorous notes on the Cleveland Gulls I recently read in the paper....
Right Fielder, Sin Soo Choo got defecated on twice already this season by the birds!
After the incident where one of the birds interfered with a ball in play during the series against the Royals, the groundskeepers are now chasing the gulls away with fireworks after every half-inning.
Now, it's being reported as to the reason why the Gulls are attracted to the Stadium....

“I think everyone looks at a trade in terms of who won and who lost,” Lowell said. “I don’t think there has to be a winner. I think the Red Sox won, because they wanted a frontline starter and they got him. I think their expectations for me were a little lower coming off ’05, but that panned out for them, too.
“And the Marlins won because they wanted to cut payroll and hopefully get a really good young player. They ended up with a really, really good young player . . . who ended up costing them $70 million when they locked him up. So there you go.”
Ramirez believes it’s too early to make a final determination.
“(It worked) for the Marlins, yeah,” he said. “And (the Red Sox) won the World Series. But what’s going to happen in two years? Or a year and a half? I think we’re going to have more than one World Series if we keep working.”
Is it just me, are is this Inter-League crap going on a little longer than normal? This part of the season is especially miserable for a Pirate fan. I hate it. :rant:
Yeah, especially since I thought there was going to be another meltdown by the Indian bullpen. Kinda like pulling the sucker out of the baby's mouth.It's tough losing to Cleveland, aint it?!
