WHO SHOT MAMBA IPHONE

Paul Byrd is up to bat

(This post is quite random, as it was written part last night and part this morning.)

Welcome to YAYsports! MLB – we love this Indians team.

In fact, we love it even more than having Optimus Prime call our mom over 30 times in 2 hours lasterday. Have you ever had your mom call you and threaten to get a restraining order? We now have, and is it ever bizarre.

Anyway, the Tribe put it to the City of Boston Red Socks again, and now lead the series 2-1.

Tonight they’re throwing Paul Byrd out there against Tim Wakefield, who we thing is like really old, since he was active back around the last time the Indians were good.

“Hahahahahaha City of Boston people – taxation without representation THIS!” a Cleveland fan screamed at Ramirez.

Now, to the important stuff – we noted that on the Los Angeles pre/post-game show, they were broadcasting from some seedy hellhole where the verminesque people from the City of Boston congregate to watch the game together.

Any of our LA readers know where such a thing/place exists for CLE fans? We could use some high-five worthy hometown compatriots to bring this thing home with. If such a thing exists – or even something like the Browns Backers, but for baseball, it’d be helpful.

LeBron is in China, so we’re a little out of touch on that front, but reader Mark has alerted us that MSG is keeping a daily Knicks practice blog called “Isiah Uncut” – interpret that however you want. It’s a bad name, and why they want to make Zeke the face of the Knicks is largely unknown.

Let’s close it out with the request for Central Division preview links from that bastard Jeff from Celticsblog – we’re in here somewhere with our malaise-filled Cavaliers generica:

I am definitely getting in trouble with someone at work for that Optimus Prime thing.

2 Jack Cobra October 16, 2007 at 10:00 am

Oh yeah, that Optimus Prime thing is awesome. I’m all over it

3 ColonelT October 16, 2007 at 10:05 am

It makes me uncomfortable to hear Optimus Prime making a sales call. Surely there’s something heroic he could be doing, like protecting an oil derrick?

I’ve also tried to find a Cleveland out-of-town sports bar, with little success for baseball. urbantailgate.com is supposed to eventually roll out listings for more cities, but I think they just have New York City now. Maybe try asking on a community bulletin board like Craigslist?

Ms. Cavalier,

We thank you for your support, even though it took you several 160 game seasons to follow us. Successful sports franchises might refer to you as being of the “bandwagon” flavor, but those familiar with Cleveland sports know that this is the only way. It is you, the true hot/cold fan, that keeps our competitive juices flowing and the Tribe, as a team, focused on the goal at hand…which is to bring you ungrateful Clevelanders the championship that you have undoubtedly earned by your last minute grasp of our teams coattails. Thank you.

Watch out for my heat!

One day Al Thornton is demoaned as old (he went to my college alma mater), then next day Tim Wakefield is being picked on (he went to my high school alma mater). Ya’ll need to find some new targets before I unleash the freakin’ fury around here. I might just break something – like a dish or something. Because I am mad. Maybe I should be like Boney and walk out.

8 The Cavalier October 16, 2007 at 12:05 pm

That would mean you have to come back Thursday and bemoan the fact that nobody missed you.

9 Al Thornton October 16, 2007 at 12:07 pm

10 Boney October 16, 2007 at 12:09 pm

Your smart alec responses to your boy Boney may result in Optimus Prime retaliation!

11 Jack Cobra October 16, 2007 at 12:24 pm

I’m going to start calling Boney…bonecrusher

12 Boney October 16, 2007 at 12:33 pm

You can call me whatever you want to call me, just know that names like “bonecrusher” may go unanswered and will be retaliated with Optimus Prime phone calls!

13 Jordi's not here October 16, 2007 at 12:46 pm

he said “bone”

14 Jack Cobra October 16, 2007 at 12:51 pm

Boney…you don’t know my phone number. You’d have to ask your Mom for it. Boom!

15 Jordi copies the one and only Boney October 16, 2007 at 12:51 pm

keep on trying there Jordi

16 Idroj October 16, 2007 at 1:40 pm

Who’s Jordi?

17 Jordi's funnier than Joe Gartersnake October 16, 2007 at 1:55 pm

ha!

18 The Cavalier October 16, 2007 at 2:18 pm

I just had Optimus Prime call myself – I was totally fooled!

19 matt October 16, 2007 at 11:02 pm

I have to ask- is Manny Ramirez actually mentally challenged? For real? Because he does that hands up in the air thing like he’s signaling a game winning field goal every time he hits a meaningless home run now. Hasn’t he hit 500 something of those? Special education kids do that when play-doh falls out of their noses. And that is actually more worthy of celebration because blockage of air passages in mentally challenged kids is very serious. Home runs in games your team is still down by four and doomed to lose in… not as much.

I will now change my prediction from Indians in six to Indians in five because Manny Ramirez embarrasses special education kids everywhere. Dick.
