I don't know if the Indians are simply following my advice, or kicking themselves for not following it, because C. Charles Sabathia has been shut down for the season. Now, this isn't exactly the time bomb explosion I and so many others were afraid of. The time bomb explosion would be if C.C. had elbow (or worse, shoulder) problems. Right now, he has a hamstring problem, says the team. If nothing else, the hamstring injury keeps him from racking up any more high pitch counts for the last two weeks.

To take C.C.'s place, they've called up Francisco Cruceta, which is kind of exciting.

Hey, speaking of notable Bisons... the Bisons won the IL championship tonight! Hooray! They wrapped up the series in four games against the Richmond Braves. So, congratulations to Grady, Jhonny, Brandon, Garko and the rest of the gang. And those Buffalo fans say they never win anything... they should be grateful!
