We Prefer "Bases Loaded"

It's good news for the Tribe that we didn't make the 40-man this year, b/c we kick ass at RBI Baseball (scroll down to bottom). A 16-team, to-the-death tournament is just the sort of idea that got Jake Westbrook $11mm per, and supporting such a venture is the stuff that gets managers extended deals.

We do miss the simpler days of the original Nintendo, when all it took to fix a tech glitch was blowing hard into a game cartridge and giving the equipment a swift rap on the top. Something about that seems so much easier than a call to a help center that's routed through Bangladesh and ends in you packaging your stuff to send off for 3 weeks of repairs...

The Futon Report
has a good take on this story.

“Guys are really into it,” said pitcher Jake Westbrook, tourney director and resident trash talker.

wow, what color from Jake. Now if he could get a couple ground ball outs he would be doing some things
