Now that the Indy Lights races from Mid-Ohio have aired, I can story. Last lap, what has been a disaster of a rain-plagued/shortened race is now ending under yellow. All Jonny Reid has to do is take the final turn onto the start/finish straight and take the checkers to win the second race of Mid-Ohio's Twin 100s. Inexplicably, he pulls into the pits and hands the victory to James Davison. Reid finished 9th. Bombardier R142 summed this up nicely on TrackForum, "If he wins Indy 100 times, he's never going to live this down."
I attended the first Browns practice of the new year. As usual, it was a short walk through in shorts, but it was good to see outdoor football back. Look for reports from the Hall of Fame festivities next week.
Casey Blake trade just happened. I'll post more after I have time to examine further. for those who haven't heard yet, he was traded to the Dodgers for a good high-A catcher and an iffy AAA reliever (who will likely be the anchor of the Tribe pen within three weeks).
By the way, Indians home vs. Minnesota tonight and tomorrow with Detroit coming in for four next week. City hosts Bermuda tonight in a should win and a virtual must win in order to earn a crucial bye to the semifinals. Aeros home vs. Binghamton tonight and tomorrow with Erie in for the week. Captains host West Virginia through Monday, Greensboro in for the week.
Two more Tribe prospects are going to the Olympics as Aeros reliever T.J. Burton and K-Tribe outfielder Nick Weglarz have been selected for Team Canada. Hopefully, the Tribe can work out a deal to get Choo down to the minors temporarily so he can play for South Korea and try to win a medal and get out of a military obligation that could keep him off the Indians roster for two years.
On a parting note, I urge any IndyCar fans who view the Brickyard 400 as some kind of desecration to calm down. There's nothing wrong with a track hosting multiple races, it's perfectly normal.
