Tired
Spent most of the day painting the apartment. Now I'm exhausted and have like a weird stomach cramp that I can't figure out. Hopefulyl it'll be better for tommorow. Have to step up for the soccer team tommorow, as we are sans Justice and Anup.
HUGE win for the Tribe today. "The Tribe" might be my favorite nickname in sports. I understand how Indians and such can be construed negatively, but I love Tribe...makes you feel like part of the team or something, I don't know. Anyways, big hit by Belliard, game wound up as a one-run game, but you never got the feeling things were slipping away. Now you only need to win one of the next two games to win the series and pick up a game on the Yanks in the chase for second in the Wild Card...and you still have the chance for a sweep. Got to like the matchups for the Tribe too. Mussina vs. Lee tommorow, Cliff has looked great lately and got the big win in Yankee Stadium before the All-Star Break, I believe...its a tough one, but if they pull it out, the advantage is definitely Cleveland's in the third game, with Chacon pitching for the Yanks against Millword for the good guys. Chacon is a bum and Millwood is our horse, thats almost a must-win matchup. The offense is starting to show a little consistency (cross your fingers), and if Pronk comes back and hits like he was in June and July, watch out. Sizemore, Victor, Belliard, and Boone have (re) discovered their strokes. Crisp and Peralta have been consistently good all year. Even Casey Blake is hitting a bit. I still would like to see more Jose Hernandez, it seems like good things happen with him in the lineup. Plus, with the regulars back, he can move down a bit and provide some pop at the bottom of the lineup. Hoynes in the paper today seemed to indicate the Indians have about hit the limit of their frustration with Ben Broussard, which is too bad because he seems like a genuinely good guy, but he's been inconsistent and not really all that good this year, even when he strokes it well. It'll be interesting to see what they do when they bring Travis up...I wonder if we might see Ryan Garko. It has seemed though that they are getting genuine production from 7 spots in the lineup right now, if you count Hafner at DH. I think Hernandez or Garko can make that number 8, and Blake isn't terrible if he's your 9th guy, instead of your 6th.
Cleveland voters didn't pass the school levy today. I'll comment on that tommorow, as I'm too tired tonight.
Peace
