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.”

And I remember Jason Tyner hitting his first home run here into the bullpen.

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 issuesgo get ‘em, cliffy!

GUT saved 2 runs with great play #9 by the indians tonight
The Disabled List just called ... it was trying to unload Joe Borowski. I offered a bagel but balked at giving up a ham sandwich. It wanted to keep Westbrook.

Sinking liner to right-center, Gutz runs full blast & dives to make the catch about 2 feet from the grass.

I can’t decide what’s more idiotic. That Marte isn’t in this game to play 3B, or that Blake isn’t available to pinch-hit in a situation where it would actually make sense.

Just mentioned on the Jays broadcast that scout Ron Hansen in at the Prog tonight. What makes this kinda cool is that he turned an unassisted triple play in 1968.

They showed him on STO a few innings ago. His UATP was turned against the Indians; Joe Azcue was the hitter.

According to wikipedia, that was the only one in a 65-year stretch. Which seems nutty, but that’s what it says.

I gotta imagine that it’s hard to react any other way when you see the ball coming right at you, though. I can’t fault him for trying to knock it down.
