Hopefully Terry Francona can finally get some sleep after Game 7

Terry Francona really needs a nap.
I don’t think the Indians manager has had a good night’s sleep since the playoffs started. During the ALCS, he had to find a dentist at 1 a.m. because his tooth popped out in his tobacco. Before Game 5 of the World Series, Tito found himself restless at 3:30 a.m. and ordered $44 worth of room service ice cream.
So did he sleep well the night before Game 7? No, not all.
Terry Francona had a nightmare last night that someone broke his ribs. He woke up to find he slept on top of his TV remote and had rib pain.

When he woke up, he also had peanut butter on his glasses.

• The Indians didn’t invite Charlie Sheen to Game 7 but he’s going anyway
I’m not pulling for any particular team in the game tonight. I’m just rooting for Tito to grab a warm glass of milk, put on an eye mask and get a good eight hours after it’s all done. That seems unlikely, though, considering he once stayed up all night eating 17 popsicles.
