Between the broken ribs and peanut butter, Indians manager Terry Francona had an interesting, restless night before Game 7.

Francona, who joked about wearing his uniform back to his nearby apartment following Game 6, said he didn't sleep well on Tuesday night.

"I had a nightmare that somebody broke my ribs," he said.

Francona said he woke up and realized he had fallen asleep on his TV remote control, which had pushed deep into his ribs and left a mark.

Beyond that, Francona, who ordered $44 worth of ice cream from room service while the team was in Chicago over the weekend, said his room looked like a "national disaster."

"I had peanut butter on my glasses," he said. "It was a bad night, man."
