...And we're back

Some of you will be disappointed to hear that a new suitor has taken the place of Johnny Damon in my Chocha Love Hall of Fame. His name is Grady Sizemore, and he just turned 23 years old.

This sea change occurred on Friday night while N and I watched the Tigers fail to thrive in Comerica Park. I am not an Indians fan, it must be said, for a number of reasons, two of them being their horrible culturally insensitive mascot and their practice of drafting pointy headed cretins with stupid names. (Viz: A and B.)

But this apple-cheeked boy...he's not just eye candy. He can play. Not to mention, the guy hasn't had a day off since June 29. I'm sure that you can appreciate such endurance. And I bet you he wouldn't bring his hairdresser on his honeymoon.

All hail Grady Sizemore: The new #1HS Clit Clutch Hitter!

When the Sox played Cleveland in a series earlier this year, it was reported that Damon was so impressed with Sizemore's skills that he sent one of the clubhouse assistants over to the Indians' locker room with a ball for Sizemore to autograph. So, while I'm sure Damon will be devastated to hear he's been jilted, at least he'll understand why.

Oh, and Cleveland will remain my second-least-favorite team (behind the Yankees, natch) until they drop that sambo-with-a-feather mascot.
