     Dorothy said correctly so many years ago, "there's no place like home!"  Why do I get the feeling if the Wizard of Oz were made today,  Mr. Goddard would put Toto up for adoption?  Anyway, how about this, a bold prediction by one of the Indians players.  Moments ago, 4:25 in the Tribe dugout Ryan Garko declared "the Browns will make the playoffs!!"   You know what? at 3-3 they just might, check out their remaining schedule.

Back to baseball, my photog tonight is Gary Korb, love the guy but c'mon Dr. Korb!!  Dude walked into the ballpark with a parka on, that's right a huge blue 3 quarter length winter coat!!!  Gary it's 68 degrees with no wind!!

Now finally some baseball, a former Indians player told he thinks Jake Westbrook will be money tonight but it depends on the first two innings.  If he can get some ground balls the first time through the Boston lineup he'll settle in and pitch well.

Manager Eric Wedge made a lineup change tonight, Trot Nixon will replace Franklin Gutierez in right field. Wedgy is banking Trot coming through like he did the other night in Boston, and who could argue. Just about every move Wedge has made in the past week has worked.   Unlike me, who is still burping up the Jack Daniels chicken i ordered in Philly airport yesterday---ugh!!
