Like the groundhog on Groundhog Day, Casey Blake saw his shadow when he came out of his cage. One great game from Casey on April 22 means 3 more years of him in Cleveland.

And the “Blake Effect” rubbed off on David “Suitcase” Dellucci as well. When Suitcase hits a dinger and a dart, it means Ben Francisco has 3 more months in Buffalo.

Likewise, on April 22 when we’re 12 runs ahead, we see Jorge Julio’s shadow, and that means he walks the leadoff hitter. And Mark Teahan doesn’t see the ball’s shadow in left field, circles like a wounded duck and lets an easy out drop to the ground at about the same time Tony Pena Jr has a sandwich while Grady beats out a routine grounder to shortstop.

And, of course, the famous “missing crowd” in KC. 70 degrees, beautiful night for baseball…no one in the stands. The camera pan was awesome. There was a guy in the upper deck with a sign that said “this is my community service…I’d rather be in jail”.

And finally, 55 million dollar free agent Gil Meche, who gives up runs faster than the Cheesy Beef Burrito at Taco Bell. Casey Blake owes his 3 year extension to Meche. And the 6000 (10,000 comps) fans in attendance can go home to start a Gil Meche fan club.

Who got Casey’s grand slam ball? A gopher ball? Literally. Casey hit it into a hill of dirt where no fan could get it. We have a left field porch. They have a left field dirt farm.
