Tuesday's A.M. Hot Clicks

A Quick Message

Before we get started with the usual frivolity, I'd like to tell you that you can help the relief efforts in Oklahoma by donating to the Red Cross. You can text "REDCROSS" to 90999 to give $10, or donate online at redcross.org. When you are done donating, watch this video of an elderly lady in Oklahoma finding her dog among the rubble while being interviewed by CBS News.

Call Of The Day

Michael McG, of Cleveland, says, "OK, Jimmy. Sure, you're gonna tell me it's the Indians, so I should just wait a month or so, but you have to give them some credit in Hot Clicks beyond Jason Kipniseating a candy bar during press questioning. You have to give it up for the best radio voice in baseball, Tom Hamilton. It's so much fun to watch baseball these days! Go Tribe!!" Michael, Michael, Michael. It hurts to see that you skipped the March 29 edition of Hot Clicks in which I picked the Indians to win  more than 78.5 games. I even used a fancy picture of Nick Swisher, Terry Francona and Michael Bourn (and made some genius picks on the Yankees and Blue Jays, but I digress). Anyway, you are forgiven, since you sent me Hamilton's awesome call of yesterday's game-winning home run by catcher Yan Gomes.

Ridiculous Injury Of The Day

We haven't had many of these since spring training, but Nationals pitcher Ryan Mattheusbroke his throwing hand when he punched a locker last night.

Cora Keeganis a new Victoria's Secret model. ... Australian model Jessica Cribbon, who was in Hot Clicks in late March, is back thanks to this new photoshoot.

I Think This Is Cheating
