I didn't follow any of the game due to Friday night football so thanks for the re-cap.

Druby Cabrera hits a walk off in the 10th to send the faithful home happy! The Tribe has now won 3 in a row and will try to complete the Royal Flush this afternoon.

Carmona on the hill.

And the bats have gone silent half way through this game in the quest for The Royal Flush.

Jason Donald must have been listening to BRF. He drills a 2 out 2 run homer over the center field fence to tie the game at 2-2. Headed to the 7th.

Ahhhh, but Carmona can't hold the lead and is yanked. Crowe saved a run with a great diving catch. Time for the vaunted bull pen.

Tribe let's Crowe swing away and he lines out failing to move the runner...

...but the Royals BP helps out and walks Druby. First and second 1 out with Choo coming up.

Choo grounds out and Brantley gets hammered on a very low 3rd strike.

Maybe we should do the games on WQKT.

5 straight K's on Tribe hitters now...make that 6.
The good news is that with 2 outs in the ninth no more 7...

FROM the corner of Carnegie and Ontario, it's Indian's baseball with HitsRus and BRF bringing you the "action".

Well, I would look at it this way. Despite burning the tickets, you saved a lot of money by not going. :-). Just trying to make you feel better.
