It's unfortunate that the terrible season by the Indians is overshadowing an absolutely fantastic season by Sizemore (as well as Lee). He could be the front-runner for the MVP if the Indians were contending. How funny is it that Cleveland has a legitimate Cy Young and MVP candidiate, yet they still are bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-59265725163521800372008-08-05T11:56:00.000-04:002008-08-05T11:56:00.000-04:00Well the baseball gods certainly punished the Ange...Well the baseball gods certainly punished the Angels for the Rally Monkey...with a World Series in 2002. Teams get these gimmicks and they can be annoying to fans of other teams, but they get fans involved in the game, which is never a bad thing. We could say the same thing about the Sweet Caroline thing in Boston, for example.<BR/><BR/>As for the walk off walk - it's not AS exciting, but I was at the game when this happened to the Angels earlier this season (2 walkoff walks in one season, what are the chances?) and the crowd was still into it. It's not like fans all look confused and can't figure out whether to clap or be bored. It's still a victory in the 9th, which is fun no matter what.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264246154526243474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-13111193043769637382008-08-05T11:02:00.000-04:002008-08-05T11:02:00.000-04:00Devil Ray's question here.

Do fans in Tampa Bay ring cowbells when their team is up? Where did the bell come from? It was annoying as the rally monkey from Anaheim fans. I can't imagine the Baseball Gods happy about their cathedrals being defiled like that....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-48916780142713978752008-08-05T10:52:00.000-04:002008-08-05T10:52:00.000-04:00How good is Cliff Lee?
