The Indians called upon their 10th man tonight and boy did the 10th man show up. And he brought some friends. Thousands of them.
Night fell on Jacob's Field and the bugs I grew up swatting away as a child on a hot Ohio summer night came a calling.
The volume was off the TV from the 7th inning on, so I can only imagine what the TBS commentators had to say, but it was a crazy site to witness.
Like the Indians of the 90's, this Tribe team has no quit in them at all. Fausto Carmona will be a household name for a long time to come. And this young Indians team is only going to get better.
I was forced to turn the volume off the TV in the 6th inning after finally realizing that the Yankees were not concerned at all over getting smacked to the ground last night. They had Andy Pettite on the mound. The savior, the only picture they would want in this situation, the one that would turn things around for the team and the city of New York.
Man do I dislike sports commentators. There is a need for play-by-play, but please do away with ridiculous commentators. I think they go into games already having decided what they would talk about, inning after inning after inning. There are a couple good ones out there, but as a whole, I would be fine with just play-by-play.
Here's to a one and done game in New York on Sunday.

Blame it on the Bugs

Swope, you might not know this but another, albeit tragic, event has been discussed locally as working in the Tribe's favor. (This is so plain awful and tragic that I hate to even post it, but someone brought it up on a local sports talk show, so here goes.) A Cleveland Heights police officer was killed this year. The pertinence? There were only two other years in history that Cleveland Heights police officers were killed: 1948 and 1920, and the Tribe won it all.
Perhaps, but I think this is a spurious correlation, as you can come up with a scenario like this for every city that is still alive (except Colorado of course), but it doesn't make it so.
Good luck Cleveland, should be a good series.
Is anybody else sick and tired of the 5 million Frank TV ads yet? TBS we get it, the series is coming in November.
JP, we are always on the same page my friend. I had to have been looking for a Frank TV spot on YouTube when you sent the comment. Great timing.
