Arrr, me hearties! Joba Chamberlain, once a swashbucklin' star of the Yankees, be shoutin' wisdom to ye scallywags in the Guardians-Tigers battle ‘round Lake Erie! He says, when pesky critters be botherin' ye, just give 'em a hearty “Ahoy!” and let ‘em know who be the true captain!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as we regale ye with a tale of a familiar scallywag that be tormentin' the brave souls at Progressive Field. On a fine Monday, the Cleveland Guardians faced the Detroit Tigers in the second bout of the American League Division Series, but lo and behold, a swarm of pesky midges had their own plans!These tiny devils, known to plague the field in October, caught the eye of MLB's own Jason Beck, who snapped a shot of one such fiend perched upon the press box. That ol' sea dog Joba Chamberlain, a former pitcher of the Yankees, recalls the battles he fought against these winged miscreants during the 2007 series, where no amount of bug spray could keep them at bay!
With a wink and a nod, Chamberlain shared his wisdom, suggestin' folks arm themselves with dryer sheets or a splash of vinegar to fend off these nuisances. It seems these midges rise from the depths of Lake Erie like cursed spirits, coverin' windows and vexin' players aplenty. The Guardians, holdin' a 1-0 lead in the series, be hopin' to keep their eyes on the prize and not on those pesky critters. Aye, let the games of skill and swatting commence!
