Well, isn't this a fine kettle of chowdah? As the actor John C. McGinley says to Sgt. Barnes (Tom Berenger) in "Platoon" when he's asked to lead a small band into the jungle one more time, "I got a bad feeling about this one, Skip." The Cleveland Indians are, for the third time in these American League playoffs, going to have to send a boy out to do The Man's job. No usual boy, this Fausto Carmona kid, but still a boy when it comes to this grown man's game of major league baseball. On Thursday night, C. C. Sabathia — ostensibly The Man and in the hunt for the Cy Young Award along with his mound opponent, the estimable Josh Beckett — took the hill in a situation that called out, nay, begged for a strong stomach, if not utter brilliance, from two men. One came running, the other didn't even bother to answer the bell.

Genzyme comes up with cure

Genzyme Corp., one of the state's largest biotech companies, said it has resolved a sticky problem with Framingham's sewage system, allowing the Cambridge company to go ahead with plans to build a $260 million drug manufacturing plant there.

Though Framingham and Massachusetts officials both promised to work to secure state funding for the project, company executives said they couldn't afford to wait much longer for the state to make a commitment. And even if the funding eventually came through, Genzyme managers fretted the sewage project wouldn't be finished by the time the manufacturing plant was ready to open in 2010, prompting them to begin considering alternative sites.

Guitar Man

It's quite good in a way for me to know what other people do like, because I can get very obscure. There have been points in my history where, with some of the songs, you'd have to have a lot of explanation as to what they were about. It was only me that understood them at all. The guitar is what I'm thinking at the time. That's what comes out."

His musical journey begins in Edinburgh. When Bert was three months old, his mother left his father in Glasgow, and they moved into a council house in West Pilton. His interest in music was sparked at Pennywell Primary School, when a teacher brought in a Spanish guitar. This was the time of Elvis and skiffle, so his attention was snared. He built a guitar from a kit, and - by now at Ainslie Park high school - was introduced to the Howff club in the High Street.

What can I say about this one? Chambliss spent the next six years as a solid team leader and a key part of the Yanks success during the Billy Martin/Reggie Jackson era. The four pitchers the Indians acquired in this trade never panned out in Cleveland. December 9, 1982 - Phillies pay deep price for Tribe Phenom: This is a trade that actually worked out well for the Indians as they sent red hot outfield prospect Von Hayes to the Phillies for veteran 2B Manny Trillo, OF George Vukovich, C Jerry Willard, P Jay Baller, and SS Julio Franco. Of course, Franco was the big prize for the Tribe in this trade and provided a combination of speed and power at the plate for the Indians for a period of six seasons before being dealt to the Texas Rangers in 1988. Hayes, on the other hand, never quite reached his potential as a member of the Phillies.
