CLEVELAND (AP) -- This will forever be known as the Bug Game.

A swarm of insects descended on Jacobs Field in the eighth inning of the Cleveland Indians' 2-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Friday night, leading to a bizarre scene featuring players from both teams waving their arms and gloves in an attempt to keep the pesky bugs away.

The two teams kept playing as millions of bugs nagged players on the field and in the dugouts.

The Yankees were on the verge of tying the series when the pesky insects arrived in a scenario only Alfred Hitchcock could imagine.

I actually fell asleep with this game on the idiot tube and I missed this.

I've noticed there seems to be an outbreak of insects in some places recently.

talking about insects...
for the past couple months now, everytime im in my flat i'll have a fly or two constantly buzzing around me. landing on my hand/face and they dont fly away if you get close to them.
they tend to come out when we're smoking weed, as if they enjoy it or summit

and i remember when i was workin a few years ago.. this fly flew onto my computer keyboard. then it walked from the return key over to the escape key. it climbed up onto the button then stopped moving. so i watched it for a while, it just stayed still. the fly had climbed onto the escape key then died.

nuts i tells ya!
