NYY already up 1-0 in the first.

Cleveland scores right back.

Lofton at 40 can still post a .370 obp...

3-1 Indians after 1, RBI singles by Garko and Lofton. Wang threw 29 pitches in the 1st. CC threw 33.

2 things you dont see very much, people at an Indians game and Victor throwing someone out.

WANG SUCKS WANG

 

Victor crushed that

John Adams!

Same old Yanks, first half trouble, second half run, and get to the playoffs only to find out their pitching sucks and they can't win. I fully expect Cleveland to take this series, and maybe one day the Yankees will learn how important pitchng depth is.

Isn't Wang horrible away? There ya go...

Cashman fully understands that -- it's why none of Kennedy, Joba or Hughes have been traded for quick fixes any of the past couple winters.

Ya, they got a hell of a nice pitching core there when you include Wang for the future. I personally think Cleveland is the better team right now, especially in a short series(Sabathia-Carmona 3 or 4 time in a series is narsty) but you have to like what the Yankees have for the future, pitching wise.

Yep, especially since in addition to the big 3 and Wang they have a number of other high potential arms (Brackman, Betances, Sanchez) plus secondary pitching prospects who could be major league contributors. Yankees sunk a ton of money into scouting and international signings and it is paying off big time.

There's no doubt in my mind Cleveland is going to win this series.

Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely rooting for Cleveland and with Sabathia + Carmona, I don't know how you couldn't consider them favorites in this series. Surprisingly enough, I believe Vegas had the Yankees as favorites. Going back a little earlier than that, I was surprised that Cleveland wasn't getting better (or worse I should say) World Series odds -- they were at 8-to-1. That was an easy bet for me, so I'll have a (figurative) Indians cap on for the next several weeks.

Pete Rose lives his baseball life in exile. Shoeless Joe Jackson was reduced to pretending Ty Cobb hadn't entered into his store and saying, "I thought you guys didn't want anything to do with me..." when he asked, "Don't you recognize me Joe?" It's the biggest rule in baseball: you don't bet on teams, let alone throw them. And so it always makes me a little sad to hear about people placing their bets on teams.

Did we hear something about that?

I really liked the Indian fan who had the sign "Not in my Teepee."

I didn't like the biceps on that Indian logo. Just like I don't like the big juiced up Blue Jay bird. I remember the Blue Jays when their logo was that little bird -- the 1993/1994 Blue Jays logo. But it shows us what the game thinks about steroid use, and the fans.

Its going to be pretty hard to beat Cle in a 3 game series with CC and Fausto in their rotation. AZ went all the way with Schilling and RJ, I think Cle could have the same set up with CC and Fausto

Lessss go Indians!

Last night, I made the call to a friend, after the runs started piling -- "AND THE ROUT IS ON IN CLEVELAND!" which was a modification of a call from the 1996 World Series, I believe (Yankees/Braves) where the Braves absolutely obliterated Andy Pettitte in Game 1. Let's do it again, Cleveland!

Chicks dig the long ball

 

and huge biceps

I hope Cleveland wins the series. I hate the Yankees.

Lofton thinks he's like 25 again, Melk with the gun though.

OK I might have to mute the TV. I like Tony Gwynn and all, but his voice is annoying.
