Game Thread: April 8, 2008
Cleveland Indians @ Los Angeles Angels
Gametime: 10:05 (STO)
To salvage some fragment of hope from last night's debacle, consider this: last April 19th, Joe Borowski couldn't hold a four-run lead at Yankee Stadium, giving up a walk-off home run to Alex Rodriguez. (You remember the game, but here's the box score if somehow you've excised that painful experience from your memory). The loss brought the Indians' record to 6-6, which was the low-water mark for the season; the Indians won 10 of their next 12 games and never sniffed .500 again.
Jamey Carroll's back in the lineup, still at second, but this time subbing for Jhonny Peralta. Asdrubal Cabrera will play shortstop, which will improve the infield defense behind Jake Westbrook, tonight's starter.

I clearly recall that game. I listened to Hammy's call on the radio and tore apart my dorm room in disgust. Last night when Hunter hit his GS, I just hung my head and laughed a little bit. It's still early, no need for me to get too worked up yet.
However, gentlemen now would be a good time to bring the lumber out of hiding.

Last night reminded me immediately of that meltdown last year. I went to the game in the Bronx one or two nights before (Sowers got rocked) so I remember thinking, "Well, at least we picked up one" as the game headed into the ninth. Oh well.
Here's hoping for a similar turn around. If they win tonight, I'll engage the usual selective memory for JoeBo performances.

I'm not necessarily complaining about him not getting Figgins out. The throw was THAT bad though. It was a lob. It was a Kenny Lofton/ Coco Crisp/ Johnny Damon-esque throw. I knew Dellucci didn't have a great arm, but I didn't think it was that bad.

He was going in the opposite direction. Your choice is either to stop, plant and throw strong or just lob it back. Either way, there's no way to get Figgins.

I'm really psyched for Westbrook this season. More than any other player on this team, I really feel like his overall stats (only one season with an ERA+ better than 110) aren't an accurate reflection of how good he actually is. Just seems like things haven't lined up for him yet to put together a really good season to get him the recognition he deserves. So far, so good this year.
