    The latest with the flock of seagulls is hilarious. Those bugs that bugged the Yankee pitcher Joba Chamberlain a few years ago were gross. Maybe they should have build a dome! :)

    Joe Torre still says that if he had it to do over he would have pulled the team in the "Midge" game.

    It's a hellish place to play; a place where all God's creatures unite to tormrnt opposing teams. The seagulls cost the yanks a game there recently when a big flock swarmed Brett Gardner in CF as he was running down a ground ball single.

    Uh, guys...Cleveland Stadium is gone...

    They have also had problems with birds in Detroit, San Francisco, and other places.
