Some of you might have missed this over the weekend: Roberto Hernandez, the man formerly known as Fausto Carmona, finally got his visa issues with the US cleared up and returned to Cleveland where he will once again throw a baseball for the Indians. The problems started, of course, when folks found out that Carmona had lied about his name and age to aid and abet his path to Major League Baseball.
We thought he was 28; he was really 31.
So the Tribe threw him a little birthday party this weekend complete with three cakes — one for every age in between. Pic below, courtesy of @tribeinsider.

Glad to see the teem is laughing it up as they slide out of contention.
Hey, maybe they can take a page from the Cubs’ playbook…and go to the airport dressed as “superheroes”…it’s what the Cub organization called “an exercise in team bonding”…wtf?
Guess you gotta try to lighten up and keep from killing each other when you’re on the road and you’re in 5th, nowhere near contention for 4th, almost 20 games under .500…and it’s not even August yet.
The Tribe can pull some similar shenanigans…like this birthday bash business…and yuck it up in the clubhouse while they…um…MUCK it up on the field (I changed it, as I do want this to get posted).
