Monica & Chuck

That title sounds like the name of a TV sitcom. Instead it's my very good friend Monica Newell who had her picture taken with Cleveland Sports personality Chuck Galleti last Saturday at Cleveland's Progressive Field.

Due to the image and email restrictions. None of my friends can view the picture. Here is yet another attempt to share the photo.

Oberlin 28, Vermilion 27

Host Amherst used a balanced offensive attack and a stingy defense to defeat Clearview 49-16. You can listen to the replay online.

With the victory, Amherst snaps a nine-game losing streak (and 13 losses in 14 games). The last time Amherst won a game was also against Clearview by a score 35-14 on Sept, 9, 2011. The last time the Comets won at home was October 15, 2010 by a score of 28-14 against Brecksville.

Cleveland 10K race, 2012

Ran the 2012 Cleveland 10k race earlier today. Official time was 59:28 (59 seconds slower than last year). Below are some of the memories of the event.

Moments away from the start of the race.

Ode to Josh Beckett

It's my day off
I think I'll do some golfing
No matter I just missed a start
Make $17 mil
How dare you try and judge me?
I didn't even rent a car

Starts
Missing Starts
Playing Golf
Screwing Me
Screwing You
Sweet Missing Time
Off days never felt so good (so good, so good)
I feel inclined
Blow up Bobby Valentine

The Josh Beckett controversy continues. After missing a start and playing golf on an off day, Beckett got hammered by the Cleveland Indians in first start back in the rotation.

Since Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline is traditionally sung by Red Sox fans during the 8th inning, ESPN's Colin Cowherd came up with the above song parody.
