Headline from Cabot today:
"Cleveland Browns plan to get Josh Cribbs more involved in the offense"
Been hearing that one for years. Because for years now, we've heard and seen he's the best player on the team. But from the article:
"Cribbs, who touched the ball only six times against the Chiefs -- including returns -- is eager for the increased role."
And of course the coaches are right there with the fans...
"Mangini also lamented the Browns scant use of the wildcat formation against the Chiefs -- one time to be exact -- and would like to see more of it, especially with Seneca Wallace starting at quarterback. "
The head coach, the HMFIC, would really like to see Josh get more touches, and is disappointed that he's not. This team is just insanity.

This guy deserves to play for a better team.

Keep it goin', Jose, I'm in your corner. If only you had enough time to hit 19 more...
Gorgeous outing tonight for Josh Tomlin. Pitching in a game that clinched the evasion of a 100 loss season, Josh turned in his best start to date, a complete game 4-hitter. Love it. I think Tomlin solidified his hold on a place in the '11 starting rotation. In fact, outside of Carmona, I'd say he's the only one.
Aroldis Champan to Adrian Gonzalez: 101, 102, 103, bench.
Here's the Carmelo trade we've all been waiting for -- Anthony to the Nets, Derrick Favor and Andrei Kirilenko (expiring contract) plus 2 1st round picks (Nets in '11, Warriors via Nets in '12) to the Nuggets, Devin Harris to the Bobcats, Boris Diaw to the Jazz. Why is the NBA the only league that needs to use 4 teams to complete a trade? Expect Car-Smell-O to sign an extension (prerequisite for NJ) and the deal to get done this weekend.
Go Bucks!

When is the Year's Hottest X-Mas Gift a Sure Sign of Impending Doom?
WHEN TARGET STARTS SELLING MOTHERFORKING FACEBOOK GIFT CARDS!!!!!! THAT'S RIGHT, ALL THE KIDS WILL BE GETTING FREE FARMVILLE BEETS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, COURTESY OF SWEET, OUT OF TOUCH AUNT MILLIE AND HER ADDICTION TO TARGET SHOPPING. I THOUGHT THIS WAS ALL A CRUEL JOKE, BUT I SAW THE LITTLE BASTARDS TODAY. IS THIS HOW FAR WE'VE SUNK? WE DON'T EVEN REQUIRE THOUGHTLESS PLASTIC DEBITS THAT CAN BE REDEEMED FOR REAL GOODS? MINIMIZING GIFTING EFFORT & HELPING OUR FLOUNDERING POPULACE SINK DEEPER INTO VIRTUAL INSANITY IS COOL? REALLY? VIRTUAL GOODS? THAT COST REAL MONEY? (I THINK I READ THIS BOOK.) THAT'S WHAT WE WANT? MAYBE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. MILLIE GOES INTO TARGET, GIVES THEM $50 AND GETS A TOUCHING, SKY BLUE CARD FOR LITTLE TIMMY. TIMMY THEN USES THESE 50 REAL DOLLARS AS FACEBOOK CREDITS TO BUY UTTERLY WORTHLESS, NON-EXISTENT DRIVEL. MIGHT HE NEED A POWER-UP TO GET THROUGH A PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT SUDOKU? OR MAYBE HE JUST MUST HAVE THE NEW AB-FAB OUTFIT IN DRESS ME UP. EITHER WAY HE'LL BE USING REAL MONEY TO GET IT. THANKS TO AUNT MILLIE, WHO DOESN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE HOW SHE'S CONTRIBUTING TO THE DOWNFALL OF CIVILIZATION. ANYONE WHO'S INTO THAT CAN GO DIRECTLY TO HELL AND NOT COLLECT $200. SCREW YOU. OUT.
Whistle Stops
Russell Branyan has missed 5 games since hurting himself eating pizza --
"On the off day last week, I took my family to a pizza parlor," Branyan said. "They had plastic chairs, and after we'd eaten, my little guy had kicked one of his flip flops off.
"I was sitting on the edge of the chair, leaning down to pick it up, and the chair slid out from under me on the cement floor. I landed right on my tail bone."
Still need to get rid of that stanky LeFraud jersey? Scene Magazine has partnered with the Miami New Times to kill two birds with one useless piece of nylon. Donate your tacky #23 to Scene and they will ship it down to South Beach where the New Times staff will personally walk the streets and gift it to a person in need. Sounds like a great deal to me. Maybe we could get them all to congregate outside the AAA before each Heat game.
Each day that goes by with Jake Delhomme gimping around on his oh-so-tender ankle makes it more difficult for me not to add an extra vowel sound to the end of his last name. Maybe he should just man up and take the start against Ray-Ray and the Ravens? That way, after his funeral, we'll still have a sub-par QB to start next week. I've heard some prognosticators describe the scenario necessary for a Browns win as "hell freezing over." At least CBS has decided to show me this week's game so I wallow in misery with the rest of the NC.
Cheers.

Nice debut for Vinnie Pestano (IP, BB, K, 19/12 Pit/Str). I would look for him to contribute early and often next season.
& Luke Carlin struck out in his only AB. Shocking.
It almost goes without saying, but... they lost.
Cheers.

Free Gift with Purchase
Filed under "Are you bloody kidding me?": a pristine,complete copy of the the 7th game of the 1960 World Series has been found. In Bing Crosby's basement vault. 30 years after he died. No other copy exists and the game has not been aired in it's entirety in half a century. For those of you who don't eat baseball history for breakfast, lunch and dinner, that's Mazeroski's 9th inning walk-off. Look for it after the World Series, hopefully on something other than the MLB network. NYT article here.

Missing the Train
Alas, it seems as if Jared Goedert has missed his opportunity. Despite a breakout season between Akron and Columbus (27 HR, 37 2B, 83 RBI), Goedert slumped at exactly the wrong time through August. Just when the brain-trust was all but rubber-stamping his September call-up, Goedert forgot how to hit (.205, 3 HR, 32 K thru Aug/Sep). With Lonnie Chisenhall among a fresh crop of high level talent expected to arrive at the lake by July '11, Goedert will likely need a change of scenery to get his MLB opportunity. It's a shame that the Indians couldn't just pull the trigger and recall Jared after the Peralta trade. Too much double talk, too much idiocy. It wears on me as a fan and I'm sure it didn't help Goedert's focus down the stretch. Best of luck to him, he's a good kid.
Btw, the tricky, tricky Tribe has 60-day-DLed Carlos Santana and Hector Ambriz to make room on the 40-man for Pestano and Carlin. Jess Todd and David Huff exhale with relief.
Cheers.
