Good win...especially as the Rays, Rangers and A's all win.

Working 2nd shift this week, so I was up to see Swisher's HR. He swung and missed at the same pitch, a 98 mph letter high FB 2 times, but didn't miss it the third. Probably one of his best swings this year. Good win. Now we need the kid to do his thing.

He also swung like that his at bat before when he struck out. Definitely swinging for the fences both times.

CJ Wilson strikes out the side making the Tribe look silly. Salazar gives up another leadoff home. Back to back games with that.

A long inning for the offense would be nice...

Well, at least Wilson had to throw a lot of pitches that inning.

Steal, hit an run (chance at a steal or 1st and 3rd...very little chance for a double play). Anything.

That seemed too obvious. Gomes is really struggling right now.

Ugh. This game has last at bat win for Angles written all over it. If not here in the 8th...the 9th will be our undoing.

Cabrera leads off...gets on....waiting for the big hit.


Fortunately they can' t turn the double play.Brantley on first now... Still not stealing on a catcher that throws out 1 out of 6.

Angels with the winning run on 2B with 2 out....and Druby makes a great play to save the game.... For the time being.

Going to bed.

And we go to Rich Hill, who probably wont throw a strike.

And as I type that, we are lucky Hill is so terrible cause it caused a strike that hit Conger in the chest on an attempted squeeze lol

Amazing (and very lucky) way to get out of the 10th still alive. Go 1-2-3 in the top of 11...so we will probably give up a leadoff HR here.

I guess no one stayed up to finish the game haha. Pretty much the only fans left in the stadium were Indians fans. The place went crazy for Stubbs HR.

Anyone know what happened to our bullpen? 8 scoreless innings.....who are these guys?

Happy Happy, Joy joy. I went to bed with dread, but there is sunshine this morning. Good pitching and some timely defense kept us in the game long enough for Stubbs to hit one out. The big hit finally came in the 14th.

Great outing for Salazar. Gave up a homer on his 2nd or 3rd pitch and nothing for the rest. Bullpen did the job. Haven't seen any highlights yet but sounds like we sprinkled in some good defense as well. Let's get the sweep today and go into the off day feeling good.

Fell asleep in the 13th. But here is Stubbs HR. Looks like all that's left are Tribe fans lol. Click on video at the top.

I stayed awake for the whole thing, but stopped posted a few innings before it ended.

I cant believe we managed to get out of the bases loaded 0 outs jam.
