Lazy Mayday Sunday

May is here, Paul is in Florida, and T-Bone is here for another sub-par Lazy Sunday. All signs for a "Mayday! Mayday!" distress call from you the reader. So without further adieu...

- After watching Droobs knock in the winning run in the 11^th last night, those left in the ballpark took to the concourse to watch The King, Mo and crew take out the Celtics in Game 1 over at the Q.

- Those in the Tribe Social Deck, however, had the best of both worlds.

- In case you missed it, Hector Ambriz was activated off the 15-day DL Friday, called up and pitched a scoreless eighth in the loss to the Twinkies. Ambriz was a Rule 5 selection from the Diamondbacks, so he must stick around the rest of the season or be offered back to AZ for $25,000. Joe Smith and his 7.71 ERA through nine appearances was sent down to Columbus, although Manny Acta says not to read too much into the move.

- Those Twins new road uniforms are really sharp, aren't they? Love their home throwback as well.

- Kerry Wood will be starting his rehab assignment soon, and it looks like it will be in Akron.

- We should thank both Paul and Vince over at ’64 and Counting for giving Jhonny a kick in the pants. Over his last six games, JP is mashing (.435/.481/.783/1.264).

- More good stuff over at ’64 and Counting, as Vince touches on both the inaccuracy of the “Most-Hated Baseball Team" rankings along with the fact the Indians are among those teams considering giving their ballpark a facelift.

- Paul touched on him Thursday, but there’s more chatter out there for Jason Donald to get a call-up to the show sooner than later. Terry's Talkin' briefly touches on Donald while Tony Lastoria names him the Indians Prospect Insider Minor League Player of the Week.

- Pluto closes with two things that strike a chord with me. The first being Chris Perez not being allowed to talk after games (most recently running his mouth after losing on a squeeze bunt in Anaheim), the second being a grass-roots effort to get The Rock into the Hall of Fame. No, not Dwayne Johnson, but Rocky Colavito. I grew up in a house where Rocky was revered, so clicking through this site was time well spent, and I’ll definitely be putting in a call to my dad this afternoon to make sure he saw the site. Be sure to catch the Detroit Free Press interview with Colavito, published on the 50^th anniversary of the infamous trade for Harvey Kuenn.

- I’ll conclude with a reminder for everyone to tune into Paul and Tony Lastoria’s weekly all-things-Tribe show, Smoke Signals, airing each and every Thursday evening on The Cleveland Fan Live. Since I can rarely catch the boys live, I bring the them along on “long run days” as I prep for the CLE Half Marathon. Thanks guys for making those long ones a little easier, and thanks to all of you for making it though this Paul-less Lazy one.
