I can hear the playoff story now…. “This Cleveland Indians team struggled mightily in the month fo April, not even getting above .500 until May 12th. Now they are just 3 outs away from a world championship.”

I remember A Rivas game where he did really well.

Put two and two together and you get a tremendous game.

i just checked out the mood at the Jays SBN site, to see their thoughts at that powerhouse lineup being used in game2. we’ve got it easy.

But since the Jays haven’t scored over the last 2 games and in fact have only managed 1 run in the 3 games so far in this series, it doesn’t really matter what the lineup is, does it? Put it this way, to be watching the Jays at this point, you’ve got to have some pretty deep-seated emotional and/or mental issues
go get ‘em, cliffy!

griffey has a $16M option next year with a $4M buyout. the buyout is worth as much as dellucci is set to make both this year and next.
