Two things....

This could be me, but it sure seems like the Tribe's crack medical staff is having yet another banner week (to be sure, keeping Michael Brantley healthy and playing well is a minor medical miracle in and of itself)... first Lonnie Chisenhall can't play with yet another calf injury, and now Danny Salazar is out for the year after his surgery. I realize sports medicine is as much art as science, but... you'd have thought someone would have suggested surgery sooner rather than later for Danny, and, well, if a guy keeps having hamstring/muscle issues... maybe you do something else?

Up to 670 on the film list... watched "The Sinking of the Lusitania," a 12-minute animated short from 1918... a mix of war propaganda and an incredibly complex (yet even today pretty good) animated cartoon.  Pretty neat stuff.  I also watched -- on behalf of a coworker -- "Call Her Savage," a 1932 pre-Code piece starring Clara Bow.  I liked it -- some of it is a bit dated, if you get my drift -- but there was, of course, quite a bit... of, well, smut, especially for the era.  I of course loved the oblique reference to syphilis, but who wouldn't?
