Losses

They won't mention this at any tomorrow, but if you think about it, Francona could be the reason the Tribe loses tonite...assuming we get some runs.  I cannot imagine ANYONE running out Masterson BACK for the 3rd when he was obviously all over the place -- and hittable when over the plate.  But Terry did, the first two got on, and then he went to Crockett, who put the runs in...but wouldn't it have been better to have brought Kyle out to start the 3rd?  A clean slate?  I mean, really...it is one thing to have faith in a guy, but...given the pen is rested today, why not use them...and you have EIGHT relievers, for Christ's sake.

In the meantime, Carrasco had a nice bit of work -- again -- which is even more damning of the brain trust.  The Princeton-educated brain trust.

I finished up the Lardner stuff -- it was pretty droll -- and next on the list is The Satyricon, which we will read and none of the peanut gallery will make ANY comment about.

I watched "Days of Heaven" yesterday.  Odd film.  The cinematography IS awesome, but the rest of it...well, it is interesting, I will give you that, but I am not sure if it is a good film, story-wise...
