Happy Days Are Here Again

The ledges in Cleveland are decidedly less crowded after yesterday’s win against the Rangers, in which Jake Westbrook looked like the #3 starter the Indians need him to be down the stretch.

So…let’s all take a deep breath and relax.
True, it was only one game, but the falling sky is not as close as we think.

With happiness filling the Friday air, I thought it was a good time to finally throw up a shot of the DiaperTribe’s first game at the Jake from a few weeks ago. He is not wearing his Tribe gear because that bit the dust on the 2nd floor of the garage at the corner of Bolivar and East Ninth Street. The back-up planning was short-sighted in that it wasn’t another Tribe outfit (the Sizemore jersey is still a bit too big), but at least I remembered to pack the back-up outfit.

While I can’t stand it when people force baby pictures on me (“ya gotta see the baaabeee, ya gotta see the baaabeee…”), here’s the Boy Wonder above Pronkville (by the way, his attention is diverted because he's watching the game action on the TV screen just over the photographer's right shoulder).
Also pictured are the DiaBride and some guy that I got to hold my child and stand close to my wife.
No, not really.
The curtain is back and (although the disappointment may be akin to what Dorothy and her friends found in the Emerald City) your humble host has been revealed.

C.C. vs. Johan tonight.
Sign of a pretty good match-up – no last names are needed.
Throw in the fact that most of the sporting public can not only can recognize, but are also excited about the duel, and Friday night plans are set.
