I usually buy a new keyboard for my desktop PC about three or four times a year.

I eat and drink while on my computer, and occasionally it's easier to buy a keyboard than to clean one.

I taught myself to type on one of those seeming cast iron model typewriters from likely the 1920's.

Later in high school adult ed summer classes on an IBM Selectric I sought to refine my typing skills.

Those IBM Selectric's were a pain in the arse for me.

Keys seemed to move on their own as compared to my trusted cast iron model with keys requiring pressure of an exercise routine.

On to Texas, and more Tribe wins in Houston.

I had a Selectric at one time. I didn't think they were too bad.

They were good typewriters for anyone who could really type, I know. IBM wouldn't have made all that money off of them otherwise.

Joe, no matter how good this Puig may be, it's very very unlikely a 21 year old will immediately jump to a major league starting lineup upon signing. Cespedes happens to be 26. Please, get real.

I guess I didn't explain well enough. I never meant that Puig would start immediately. He has a lot to learn. Following Cuban baseball, I wouldn't rank him as highly as he's been touted to be. I would just like to sign him and get him into our system. He would rank right up there with Naquin.

He won't be jumping to the Indians either. Tribe still trying to recover from the wad they blew on Danys Baez.

Choooooooo with a lead-off triple, and ACab plates him with a sac fly.

1-0, bottom of 1st.

That's a nice insurance run in our top of the 9th.

2-0 us, and it's Chris Perez time.
