[USML Announce] Congratulations to David Riske

[Andrew R. Klein]

Just got back from Cleveland, and the natives there are unhappy about the closer situation.  In fact, today's Plain Dealer ran two sets of AL Central standings -- one with the actual win-loss totals, and another "non-Jiminez" set of standings that shows the Tribe running away with the division.  According to Eric Wedge on the pre-game show I listened to on the way to the airport, Bob Wickman will soon be The Man.

    First I heard about Betancourt; he went nowhere.  Then I heard the pumping of Jimenez.  Now we are back to Betancourt?  Where does one jump off this merry-go-round?
  1.  Betancourt got hurt.  But he'll be back soon.  As I recall, his manager said that he couldn't afford to use his best pitcher ("Betancourt") in such a limited role.   Looks like he won't have a choice. 
  2.  No "pumping" (whatever that means ) of Jimenez on this end.  Not a single word.
  3.  Its not a merry-go-round Mark, it must just feel that way to someone who seems to be a  perennial re-builder.  (Did I just say that???? Yep - sure did. )

  That's [not nearly] all.
