1. John, keep the cats coming. Love 'em. Quit discouraging it, Kris.
2. Thanks for the kind Congratulations, JB.
3. No thanks for your silly sports commentary, JB.
a. Browns didn't really give up much to get Quinn. Most people thought it was fortuitous that he was still around at that point in the draft. Miami fans were pissed when the Dolphins took Ginn over him. I'm not saying that Quinn is good--I thought he and ND were way overated as the Buckeyes proved in the 2006 bowl game--but it would have been very hard to pass on him at the time. Let me remind you that you were not praising Anderson in the pre-season or at any prior time when he played.
b. How can a team that sweeps the world series be overpaid? Looks like their paychecks are deserved to me. Which brings me to...
... 4. Hating winners. I understand resentment toward successful teams. However, it is a sign of weakness--of the self and of one's preferred team--to hate others for their success. It is good for sports to have a healthy dislike for ones rivals, but hating winners demonstrates thier power over you and your deficient character. Have righteous contempt for unseemly and unsportsmanlike behavior, but do not hate teams for beating you. Respect it, and get better.
5. I missed games 5 and 6 of the Indians-BoSox series. From what I can tell, that was a good thing. In the games I watched, however, I did not come to the conclusion that Wedge couldn't manage. The most I could fault him with was playing Amerian league style instead of bunting or running in a few situations which is hardly a fault in the AL. The Bottom line is Indians stars did not show up. Sizemore, Hafner, Sabathia, and Carmona did not perform. Don't blame Wedge.
