"Imma name him Rocky Colavito."
We saw a black cat grace the Mets and Marlins with its presence on Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon brought baseball another encounter with the animal kingdom: A squirrel ran around the outfield of Progressive Field during Detroit's sweep-sealing 8-6 win over the Cleveland Indians. Though the Tribe's playoff hopes are now smaller than a squirrel's chances against an actual tiger, the episode brought Cleveland's bullpen plenty of entertainment. Closer Chris Perez*tried to catch it in his jacket while Vinnie Pestano chased him off the actual playing surface and into the bullpen. It was a good warmup for hunting season, which, incidentally, is where many of the Indians will soon be headed.
