You're right, sorry about that. Just the sight of Ortiz and Ramirez celebrating like it was in the bag pissed me off. That and the late hour and the beer.sears3820;959127; said:Such vitriol, such hate.

Just messing with ya. I'm not so sure I'd enjoy their actions either if I were on the other side.
Love it or hate it, that's their personality.

Nah, I think he's just an idiot.JCOSU86;959449; said:You're telling me! My wife calls Manny an idiot savant!
Seroiusly, though... how fun is this team? I love the fact that any given player can step up and be a hero on any given night...
The ace starter is struggling? CC and Fausto can't get Ortiz and Ramirez out? Not a problem - somebody like Mastny will step in and pick them up. Perez struggling? Well... the other Raffy will come in and dominate, then.
I love that. Epitome of team.
And after last night, I thought I'd be glad to have a break tonight, but I can't wait 'til tomorrow.

AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
Cleveland Indians silencing foes' fans in baseball playoffs
Monday, October 15, 2007Paul Hoynes
Plain Dealer Reporter
If you have a noise problem that requires the soothing nothingness of silence, call the Indians. So far this postseason, they have brought silence to two of the loudest ballparks in the big leagues.
First came Yankee Stadium on Oct. 8, when the Indians clinched the American League Division Series. When Joe Borowski struck out Jorge Posada for the final out in Game 4, only a grumble could be heard from the crowd of 56,315.

Cleveland Indians' Kenny Lofton wants his world serious
Indians fans embrace man with determined face
Monday, October 15, 2007Jodie Valade
Kenny Lofton was sitting at his locker, hidden behind the safety of a large pillar that conveniently blocks him from all the world, when the man Cleveland loves, the one whose name thousands at Jacobs Field chant every time he comes up to bat, gave a small peek at his personality.
Kenny was being Kenny.
A novice TV reporter who must not have heard about Lofton's reputation innocently asked how this American League Championship Series against the Boston Red Sox would be different than the Indians' divisional series against the Yankees, and what the Tribe needed to do to win.

Boston pitcher Tim Wakefield yawns as he walks in the Jacobs Field outfield during a lightly attended, voluntary workout Sunday. The planes for the Red Sox and Indians landed at Hopkins International Airport at 5 a.m. after a long Game 2. Wakefield is scheduled to start Game 4.

Plain Dealer columnist Terry Pluto analyzes the Cleveland Indians in the ALCS
Monday, October 15, 2007
Boston
-- It was about 2 a.m. Sunday when I real ized the Indians can actually win this American League Championship Series with Boston. I walked out of Fenway Park, the stands were nearly empty and what remained of the crowd was utterly silent. The left-field wall seemed to be weary, leaning forward as it were just too tired to even cry.
The streets were a different story, bitter Boston fans spitting out the name of Boston reliever Eric Gagne, combining it with vile adjectives that could peel the green paint off that monster in left field. Such sweet sounds!

Up next: ALCS Game 3
Monday, October 15, 2007
After a day off Sunday, the American League Championship Series resumes tonight in Jacobs Field. The series is tied, 1-1. In Game 1 on Friday, the Red Sox knocked out C.C. Sabathia early and rolled, 10-3. In Game 2 on Saturday, the Indians scored seven in the 11th inning to win, 13-6. The game lasted 5 hours, 14 minutes. Former Red Sox Trot Nixon ignited the uprising with a single that drove in Grady Sizemore. The Tribe's other runs in the 11th scored on a wild pitch, Ryan Garko's single, Jhonny Peralta's double and Franklin Gutierrez's three-run homer.

Indians show their grit ? and their winning Trot
Patrick McManamon | - 10.15.2007
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]BOSTON ? Strange things happen after midnight.
Apparently in baseball, stranger things happen after 1 a.m.
Well, let?s not call them strange. Just say . . . unexpected.
The American League Championship Series is tied at one game apiece, in part because of two guys at the end of the Indians? roster, as Tom Mastny and Trot Nixon played key roles in an Indians victory.
The Indians scored more runs in the 11th inning than they did the previous 10 in a 13-6 win late Saturday night.
The nature of the ALCS has now changed. Instead of going back to Cleveland down two games, which could have happened given the way the Indians? second ?ace? pitched, the Indians and Boston Red Sox each have one win.

Indians tired but tied after evening ALCS in Boston marathon
The Associated Press | - 10.15.2007
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]CLEVELAND ? Equally exhausted and exhilarated, the Cleveland Indians stumbled home looking for their postseason pillows.
Sleep was at a premium Sunday after a late, late night out in nippy New England.
The Indians were tired, for sure.
Tied in the ALCS, too.
With a record-setting, seven-run rally in the 11th inning of Game 2, the Indians, despite getting next-to-no help from their top two pitchers inside unforgiving Fenway Park, beat the Red Sox 13-6 in the wee hours Sunday morning to even their best-of-seven series at one game apiece.

The Game had it all Jim Ingraham, Morning Journal Writer
10/15/2007
Aside from Tony Pena's walkoff homer off Zane Smith just shy of 2 a.m. on the morning of Oct. 4, 1995, in Game 1 of the Division Series against Boston -- what IS it with these two teams? -- it's arguably the greatest Indians game ever that ended to the sound of street sweepers.
At the very least, it's the greatest display of hitting ever by an Indians team at 1:30 in the morning.

Westbrook tries to keep momentum
Jim Ingraham, Morning Journal Writer
10/15/2007
If ever two teams needed a day off, it was the Indians and Red Sox yesterday. Especially since they played a game yesterday. . . that actually began on Saturday.
That was the Indians' epic 13-6 win in 11 innings in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series.
The series is now even at 1-1, with the next three games to be played at Jacobs Field, tonight, tomorrow and Thursday.

Pen bails out Tribe again
JIM INGRAHAM, Morning Journal Writer
10/15/2007
CLEVELAND -- While the Indians' starting pitching in the first two games of the American League Championship Series has been shaky, the bullpen has once again been solid.
In the Tribe's 13-6 Game 2 win, the bullpen was the difference in the game.
Tribe relievers Jensen Lewis, Rafael Betancourt, Tom Mastny, and Joe Borowski combined to pitch 6 2/3 shutout innings on three hits with five strikeouts and no walks.
