Jumpin’ Joe at his best as Tribe Win

Jumpin’ Joe! Wow that was a true heart ticker, and it must suck even worse to be a Royal fan.

Cliff Okay, Still Wins!: Cliff was far from great tonight, but he did a good job with keeping his team in the game and just staying with in himself. Didn’t have his control, but smart pitchers know how to give you six solid on those nights.

Walked only one, did give up 10 hits, and four runs with three punchouts.

That is Cliff Lee’s 8th win of the year boys and girls. Pretty good, yes yes. His ERA is still under 2 at 1.87.

Betancourt and Perez did their jobs tonight, very good and it was up to Joseph to close it out. A double by HERRman(German) made it a little nerve wracking and Jose Guillen almost killed us at the end.

It was Grady Sizemore’s outstanding catch in center saved the game.

Also point out the great play by Ben Francisco to get DeJesus at 2nd. Because Gathright wasn’t running full steam, the run didn’t score before the out and we avoid that tie game.

Hey Marte: Marte has been consistent in his little time. Hits in this three game stretch, scored a run tonight, woulda had an RBI if Asdrubal Cabrera didn’t run himself out of a double.

The big men tonight were Casey Blake and Grady Sizemore though.

Sizemore started the game off with a solo jack, and he now leads the team in RBI. He then homered later in the game to bring in two more. Grady was outstanding tonight, and he even is stepping up and becoming more of a leader with the other guys.

Well, co-leads. Casey Blake wouldn’t be out-done as the road monster returned. His two run jack was huge in the sixth inning. Both him and Grady have the 29 RBI.

Tomorrow, C.C. takes the mound against Kyle Davies.
