Terry Francona may skip dessert for a day or two.

Unable to sleep before Game 5 of the World Series, Cleveland's manager said he ordered $44 worth of ice cream from hotel room service.

"I had two orders of chocolate and two orders of vanilla with chocolate sauce, and then to kind of keep it healthy, I ordered the berries," he told reporters at Wrigley Field. "And, a Diet Coke."

Francona said he had to dig deep to finish the early morning treat.

"I got down to the point where I had two scoops left," he said. "And I said, 'I can do this.'"

So what did room service say when he placed such a large order.

"How many people?" he said.
