Wednesday's A.M. Hot Clicks: Hailey Outland; Cavs Get Their Championship Rings
Cleveland Rocks, Part 1

The Cavs got their rings and then destroyed the Knicks in the NBA season opener. The game began with the raising of a championship banner and ended with LeBron James dancing to Rick Astley. Most importantly, The Undertaker made an appearance after LeBron wore one of his t-shirts during the Finals last season, and The Ultimate Warrior's wife gave Kevin Love a championship belt.
Cleveland Rocks, Part 2
The Indians struck first blood in the World Series with a 6-0 victory over the Cubs, and I think these goats may have been good luck for Cleveland. It was a relatively boring game, though Francisco Lindor did win free tacos for everyone and the Cleveland Police nicely trolled the Cubs after the game.

Hailey Outland: Lovely Lady of the Day
Steve from Atlanta complimented my LLOD choices as of late and suggested Hailey Outland. I love compliments so I'm taking his request. Feel free to email me (andy_gray@simail.com) any request you may have. Anyhow, Hailey is today's LLOD (click for full-size gallery).
Quick Story About My Twitter Screw-Up
I thought it would be fun to post a Harry Caray photo to the SI Vault Twitter account Tuesday to honor the Cubs but accidentally posted one of Caray from his White Sox days. Not a huge mistake one would think since Caray spent over 15 years with the Cubs. Chicago didn't see it that way and I quickly became the most hated man in the city (at least according to my mentions). I decided to embrace the screw-up (instead of deleting it) and it turned out to be the right move since my new friends at Awful Announcing wrote about how well I handled the mistake.
