The scary part is that he's maintaining a 2.40 ERA with an awful K/BB ratio right now. If he can get his control together, he'll be damn near unbeatable.

Cliff looking great again so far, the bats, not really.

2 hits through 7

Yep. Sure was fun having an offense for those two games, huh? Exactly why I said I'd wait to get excited until I saw some sustained success. Thus far, it appears it was another tease.

Thank God for our starting pitching.

9 inning shutout, how about a run here guys

Maybe if I call them a bunch of pussies they'll wake the fuck up.





























Pussies.

Fucking Betancourt.

Betancourt

well thats game

 

[NFBuck]

Fucking Betancourt.

Correction, FUCK YOU BETANCOURT. :2004:

What a piece of shit. Way to waste another gem by Lee "offense".

Good lord, Betancourt really screwed the pooch in the 10th inning. Clif Lee throws 9 shut out innings and doesn't get the win. Tragic.

 

[buckeyemania11]

wow hafner actually hit the ball

He's "screwed the pooch" with alarming regularity this year. I wouldn't trust him to hold an egg.

 

[NFBuck]

...aaaand they blow a nine inning shutout by Cliff Lee. Worthless shitbags. You know, I saw reason for optimism a couple nights ago about the offense and shockingly they turn right back into the vacuum they were before. The sad thing is that this division is so pathetic right now that this team may just stay in the postseason race based off the strength of the starting pitching. And of course if that happens, C.C. walks after the season and all we get are some draft picks and swept if we stumble into the playoffs. Hooray.

Cleveland Indians split doubleheader with Toronto Blue Jays, get rare unassisted triple play

Lee matches Carmona's nine scoreless innings with nine of his own in nightcap, but Betancourt and Tribe bats dull Cabrera's unassisted triple play

Fausto Carmona took care of the first game and Cliff Lee took care of most of the second, but the best the Indians could do Monday at Progressive Field was split a doubleheader with Toronto.
The Indians won the first game, 3-0, but nine scoreless innings from Lee and the third unassisted triple play in franchise history weren't enough to complete the sweep as Toronto won the second game, 3-0, in 10 innings.
The Blue Jays scored all three runs in the 10th off Rafael Betancourt to end the Indians' scoreless inning streak at 31.
