Game MVP?  This guy and about 5 million of his little Canadian soldier friends.

At least that's what TBS' field reporter called them.  Others have described them as your garden variety swarm of midges, or these things.

The wind off the lake died around the 8th inning, and as Hugh has described it, a swarm of Heaven-sent locusts showed up in God's country to help the Indians any way possible go up 2-0 against the New Yorkers in the best of five ALDS.  How miserable was it? 

Apparently not bad enough to bother Indians starter Fausto Carmona, but certainly bad enough to help cause Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain to throw two wild pitches in the 8th allowing the Indians to get off the deck and onto the scoreboard. 

So you want to be a Major League pitcher? 



I talked to Dean Barnett about the bugfest, and he said it was disgusting enough to watch that he switched down from HD to normal resolution.  I don't blame him.  Fortunately, I hear the health care plan is top notch for the pros, and even includes treatment for Malaria.
