Field Of Bugs

Oh great. Yet another reason to never visit Cleveland . . .

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Joba Chamberlain was really bugged.

A swarm of insects invaded Jacobs Field in the eighth inning Friday, creating havoc in the playoff game between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians.

With the Yankees ahead 1-0, the bugs clearly affected Chamberlain and helped the Indians tie the game. Bug spray did little good -- Chamberlain's neck, face and hat were covered with the bugs, and he tried to spit them out of his mouth.

Almost everyone was affected by the cloud, with players on both teams and the umpires trying in vain to swat them away. (H/T - Yahoo! Sports)

Authorities stated that the bugs were merely a ploy by Sheldon Plankton to once again to steal Jacobs Field's world-renowned Krabby Patty.

"Yeah, baby! I finally got it!!"
