New Plan
Cliff Lee pitches ever game the rest of the year for the Tribe.
He did give up 3 runs today raising his ERA from 0.28 to an astronomical 0.96, but he is 5-0 and that is what matters.

Tribe plate 15
Normally I would be ecstatic after the Beard goes yard for a salami in a Tribe win. OK, who am I kidding, I am pretty pumped that the offense is going to show up for a game every now and again.
All I am saying is that it would be nice if they could spread out the offense over a couple more games. I think in their 5 highest scoring games combined they have scored 50 runs, and they have around 100 total for the season. That is just a little ridiculous.
Best news of the night.... C.C. did not give up a run. Yes, I know you are asking "did he even pitch"? As a matter a fact he did, he went 6 innings, giving up 4 hits with 11 K's.
Maybe, just maybe the Wigwamers can get this figured out.

As the Borowski Turns
Just a sample of some of the opinions of that ass clown Joe Borowski on the interwebs today.
Joe Borowski, Still Dealin' (Our Endless Season)
An entire blog dedicated to said ass clown (Bench Borowski)
Joe Borowski blows another save; writer advocates killing innocent ponies (C-Notes)
The Joe Borowski Fury Makes Its 2008 Debut (Deadspin)
Borowski Burnout (The Cleveland Fan.com)
DL Least of Borowski's Concerns (The Legend of Cecilio Guante)
I hate Joe Borowski* (J-Beanie Sports)
I think I'm going to throw up (The Cleveland Sports Animal)
"Seventy-Nine" (The DiaTribe)
Seriously, that is just a selection. It could go on and on.
JoBo needs to go (not just to the DL, preferably to some other team to drive their fans fucking nuts for awhile) You know it is tough when you can almost remember the words "the Wick is lit" as being reassuring.
*Hey, me too!

Tribe Coverage
First things first ... lose Borowski. Please. I am begging you. Mr. Shapiro get us a new closer.
I managed to catch a little of the Tribe game last night on both ESPN and STO. I have always like the announcers on STO so when presented with the option 10 times out of 10 I will watch the game there over ESPN. But last night during some channel surfing I noticed that game was also on ESPN and the picture was much brighter and crisper so I decided to stop on the channel and watch for awhile.
Here is the thing, if I were blind and did not know that the Red Sox were playing the Tribe I would not have even known the Indians were in the game. All the ESPN announcers would talk about was Yankees/Red Sox. Oh, I guess they occasionally mentioned who was at bat for the Tribe.
I really can't say how long this went on, maybe I tuned in for the brief part of the game where they (ESPN) were doing their nightly pimping of any Boston/New York rivalry. If the rest of the game continued like that I am not sure how any Cleveland fan could watch the game with out the TV being on mute. All I know is that it was enough to send me running back to STO to watch JoBo blow the game (needless to say ... again).

Tribe win! Tribe win!
1-0. The prospects of a perfect season are still alive.
Just a few quick notes...
-Not a fan of giving up a 7-2 second inning lead, but a win is a win.
- Guut can go ahead and plan on moving into the two spot later this season.
-Casey Blake (the beard) with some more late game heroics; as dangerous of a nine hitter as there is.
-Borowski makes the 9th interesting like usual. Nothing like an aging closer without an overpowering fastball.

Opening Day(ish)
Today is opening day (assuming you don't count the two games the A's and Red Sox played in Japan or the game the Braves and Nationals played last night in D.C. to kick off the season)
As far as I am concerned today is opening day.
The Tribe will get under way at 3:05 today fromthe Jake Progressive Field. The forecast is calling for rain (a huge upgrade from last year's snow) so it will be iffy to see if they can get this one in.
Anyhow it is Mark Buehrle for the White Sox against C.C. Sabathia for the Tribe.
Yeah Baseball!!!!

Tribe Time Next Year?
Well that was not fun.
The only thing that can make it even a little better is if the Rockies sweep the World Series.

Game 5 Recap
Josh Beckett is scary good.
C.C. was left in the game too long.
That is all.
Game 6 Saturday night in Baston.

Kenny Kenny Kenny
Tribe wins! Tribe wins!
The mayor of Cleveland Kenny Lofton set the tone last night with a two run shot in the bottom of the second and Jake Westbrook pitched lights out (minus one mistake to Jason Varitek) to lead the Tribe to victory. Also the play of the night came in the first inning when the Indians were in the Papi shift and pulled a 4-5-3 double play, to get out of the inning, with third basemen Casey Blake masterfully covering second. The most underrated play of the game had to be Pronk beating out the double play, in the 5th, to allow Grady to score putting 4 runs on the board.
Cleveland now leads the series 2-1 with a great chance to get out to a 3-1 lead against the knuckleballer Tim Wakefield (this is assuming the Red Sox stick with their rotation and don't sneak Josh Beckett in on short rest). Paul Byrd looks to bring the same magic he had against the evil empire to the mound for the Tribe tonight.
And since it worked so well last night,
Final Score Tribe 7 Red Sox 4.

For the love of God and all that is Holy don’t start Paul Byrd
What is that you say? He stepped in and kept the Yankees in check. Well score one for keeping the rotation intact.
Just for the record I was on the start Paul Byrd bandwagon the whole time. Maybe he had not had the best record vs. the Yankees but pitching on three days rest after you did not have the best outing of all time is also a risky proposition. Thank you for the example Mr. Wang.
Now the Tribe gets to start the ALCS with the one-two punch of Shaqbathia and Carmona and Wedgie looks like a genius.
The best part of what happened is Wedge got his 4 starters the ball during the first series giving them all time to get some work in under pressure situations. With the first two games in
Should be a great series.

Best Record in Baseball
The Tribe is holding onto a half game lead over the Red Sox for the best record in the AL. Unfortunately for the Tribe, Boston will get their last 5 games at home while Cleveland has only one home* game remaining and then spends the remainder of the season on the road.
Remaining games:
Boston: 1 vs. Oakland (75-83) and 4 vs. Minnesota (77-80). The Red Sox are just a combined 5-5 against these teams, but 48-28 playing in front of the Green Monster.
Cleveland: 3 @ Seattle (83-73) and 3 @ KC (68-89). The Tribe is a combined 15-7 against Sea. and KC and 42-34 on the road.
Don't forget California/Anaheim/L.A. (2 games back) are with in striking distance of the home field advantage if they go on a monster tear and the Tribe and the Bosox hit a slump.
Even though all these teams have clinched playoff spots it should be a very interesting finish to the season. Whichever team ends up with home field in the AL will have it for the whole playoffs thanks to a AL win in the All Star game. Last but not least Boston has the added motivation of trying to hold of the Yankees (just 3 games back) to win the AL East.
*Game to be played in Seattle (got to love snow outs). Even if officially it is a home game it will not feel like it.

Tribe Time
The Tribe goes for a sweep of the Motor City Kitties tonight with C.C. on the mound. A win would take the magic number down to 3. The Tribe at 89-62 are also only a half game behind the Red Sox for the best record in the majors (the Anaheim/LA/California Angels are also 89-62). Home field advantage throughout the playoffs would be awfully nice.
Could we get just one more Casey Blake walkoff homerun? Is that too much to ask?

He's Back
Has Travis Hafner awaken from the dead? If last nights results (2 HR 4 RBI) are to be believed I would say it is a resounding "yes". The second homerun came in the top of the 9th down 2 with 2 outs and one on. A majestic shot to dead center, they don't call it the homer dome for nothing. To top it off Pronk knocked in the go ahead run in the top of the 11th on a rocket of a line drive to center.
If Pronk can keep it going through the home stretch and into the playoffs the Indians will add the most dangerous weapon they have to an already dangerous team.

Tribe Wins
Nice to see that the Tribe may actually want to win the division. The offense showed up on a night that the pitching was sub par. I would like to Wedge switch the order around a little. I think 3-4-5 of Sizemore-Martinez-Pronk is just about right. It would be nice to see Franklin Gutierrez get a chance in the 2 hole instead of Casey Blake every once in a while.
