A Kingdom for a Clean Restroom

Greetings from the Cleveland Public Library!

We're a few hours from game time, so we dropped in to post a little...and use the facilities.

For some reason OHIO doesn't provide safe and clean restrooms.

Note: Next time you travel, take your own toilet or go on the side of any road. More private and most likely more sanitary.

We're scored a few boxes of Drake's coffee cakes and Ring Dings in W-B, PA. They don't have those on the West Coast.

It's been raining and overcast. If anyone makes a dark cloud following reference we won't mind.

We've got extra tickets for the Indians' game tonight, so if you're in Cleveland find the guy in the A's grey road jeresey who looks like he hasn't showered in 48 hours and make an offer. Honestly, a hot dog and a beverage would do just fine.

While we were at the Baseball Prospectus Pizza Feed on Wednesday, Michael Lewis was doing a book signing in the Bay Area. He was to attend the Pizza Feed. The book signing was ranked higher. He probably would have gotten more questions about his wife (yes, that Tabitha Soren) than anything else at the Pizza Feed, anyway.

If you have not read the book, do so. If you have read it, read it again, not that we need to prod you to do that.

The Grady Fuson, Kenny Williams flap seems like it is being fanned by jealous sports writers and other GM's.

Kenny Williams still thinks that Billy Beane wrote the book.

Grady Fuson still thinks the A's owe him something.

Micahel Lewis is a very good writer.

Maybe it's just a case of the sports "journalists" being upset they have never had access like Lewis got and can't write as well, either. Not to mention that Lewis gets to talk about Bud Sleig and not have to field his calls.

We'll try to post over the weekend.
