Never Forget 31-0

Cleveland Indians' long balls go a long way in beating Yankees

Chuck Crow/The Plain DealerTravis Hafner (48) and Victor Martinez (41) congratulate Jhonny Peralta after his three-run homer in the fifth inning scored them and put the Tribe ahead of the Yankees, 4-3, on Friday at Progressive Field. Franklin Gutierrez followed Peralta's blast with one of this own to put the Tribe up, 5-3.
The Indians used scare tactics to take care of the Yankees on Friday night. No need for midges, just good at-bats, especially with two outs.
They kept harassing New York starter Andy Pettitte until they solved the left-hander for good. It took them until the fifth inning, but it looked to be just a matter of time.
It came in sudden fashion as the Tribe put together four hits for four runs, all with two outs, and beat the Yankees, 6-4, in the opener of the four-game series at Progressive Field.

Kevin Warren is an ass
NFBuck;1149090; said:Don't look now, but a 6-4 win over the Yanks extends the win streak to 4 games. Hopefully 2006 Jeremy Sowers shows up tomorrow and not the 2007 version.
Everytime I write something disparaging about these guys or the team, they start doing better.
I think you will be posting quite
a bit is this thread if that is the way your posts have on the Indians player's performance. I think CC pitches today and Sowers tomorrow with Laffey going on Monday. I would rather see Laffey pitch tomoOoops
, my bad, Sowers pitching today and CC tomorrow.I would like to add that I like RB as our closer. When Joe gets off the disabled list send him packing. At least, Raffy can strike out some hitters unlike Joe. I will admit that Raffy gives up an occasional home run but that is okay at least he doesn't give up numerous hits like Joe. I can live with this occasional homerun pitch.rrow and then pray for rain.

Why do you intentionally walk anybody to get to Victor?
Five in a row!
Give Sowers some credit...he didn't pitch bad. Kobayashi has been solid lately too. Hopefully they're coming around...

That's a pain in the buns
Either put Michaels or Fransisco in LF from now on...Dellucci looked like he just started playing that position today. Every fly ball hit to him he looked like he was unsure what to do. And Sowers pitched real well today, just that 6th inning I think Wedge should have taken him out before that last walk to load the bases.

That was a hard catch with the ball slicing away from him. He was really caught in between once he started to go in on the the ball. He either had to go for the catch or nothing at that point. There was no way he could really get back on the ball IMO.OSUBasketballJunkie;1149417; said:
Remember he did have a hit in the bottom of the ninth which helped us win the game.

Chad Henne is a b!tch
Delucci is our leadoff hitter?!?!? Has there ever been a slower leadoff hitter in the history of baseball?
Good thing CC's on the mound today, hopefully he brings the stuff he had in his last outing.
Edit: Immediately after I post this, Delucci leads off with a hit. He's still slow though.

Midget Gaedel walks in only MLB appearance

In perhaps his most outrageous stunt, St. Louis Browns president Bill Veeck sends a midget to bat. Eddie Gaedel, all of 3-foot-7, pops out of a giant-sized cake and a few minutes later is sent up to pinch-hit for the Browns' leadoff hitter in the home first inning in the second game of a doubleheader against Detroit.
When "No. 1/8, Eddie Gaedel, batting for Saucier" is announced over the loudspeaker, home-plate umpire Ed Hurley points to the Browns dugout. Manager Zack Taylor hands Hurley the official American League contract for the 26-year-old stuntman from Chicago.
Tigers left-hander Bob Cain walks Gaedel on four pitches (all high, naturally). Replaced by a pinch-runner, Gaedel bows and doffs his cap repeatedly, to the delight of a paid crowd of 18,369.

Snyder's promotion only lasts for one day
CLEVELAND: Outfielder Brad Snyder got his first taste of the big leagues as a Sunday call-up from Triple-A Buffalo. He didn't get to play and he didn't stay long. The Indians optioned Snyder back to Triple-A so Aaron Laffey can take his place on the roster and start tonight against the New York Yankees.
Why call up a player for one day? Why not? Laffey wasn't needed until tonight, so there was no harm in having an extra position player around, just in case.
Snyder is batting .236 with five doubles and four homers at Buffalo. He was born in Sandusky and went to high school in Bellevue.
Jeremy Sowers, who started Saturday night, was optioned to Triple-A to make room for Snyder.
OTHER STUFF ? In nine career starts against the New York Yankees, C.C. Sabathia is 1-8 with a 6.16 ERA. . . . Victor Martinez singled and has hit in nine consecutive games. In his past 11 games, Martinez is batting .417. . . . The 1-0 loss Sunday ended the Tribe's winning streak at five. . . . According to Elias Sports Bureau, Martinez's walk-off single Saturday night was his first career RBI (of 425) to end a game. The only active player with more RBI who has never driven in a run to end a game is Lance Berkman with 878.
