The Tribe Time Report

I’m running out of things to say about Cliff Lee

Really I’m just done with him.. I can’t continue to do it because now it’s just.. Routine I guess?

I’m going through the motions..

Cliff Lee does it again!

Cliff Lee is the man!

Clifford the BIG RED RAZORBACK shuts down another explosive offense.

He hovered around that 70% strike mark again this time 80-117 is about 68%.

I mean jebus sir.

8 hits and 2 walks is 10 baserunners.. But it doesn’t matter! 6 sit-downs and the important number is 2 runs.

9 innings, 2 runs.. and the big old 17!

17 wins for Cliff Lee. How often do you see 17-2?

Huh? Do ya see it often? No you don’t.. First guy to go 16-2 since Pedro Martinez, and I can’t wait to see the stats that are gonna unfold from everyone about 17-2.

Big Tex was the lone bug in Cliff’s hair, going 3-4. But he got that big double play ball in the 8th inning to retire the side. So say what you want about the 3 hits, he got Teixeira when it counted.

He held the 4, 5, and 6 hitters, Vlad, Hunter and Anderson to 1-11. That’s fantastic. All three of those guys left 2 guys on base.. That’s how their offense works. Chone Figgins gets on and they are in business.

Cliff Lee said no sir.. You can get on base but you aren’t scoring.

Loved the offense tonight.. The Angels not only have good starters they got a good bullpen and the Tribe got to that combo just enough.

Back to back doubles by Francisco and Jhonny Peralta got the first run in. Then two innings later Mr Garko knocked in yet another RBI.. I do believe he has an RBI in all but one game since last Saturday against Toronto.. He was 1-4 tonight and he is hitting .348 since he returned from his benching with 6 RBI. He did strike out three times tonight but I tell ya what, he is battling deeper into the count lately.

Drubs got the bases loaded walk to push ahead the go-ahead run and it was allllll Cliff Lee from there on out. Choo had another double and went 2-3.. He’s a machine when it comes to those.. Already 21 on the year. Francisco has been here a little longer and just has 25.

Damn.. One hell of a win tonight.. Just one hell of a win..

Tomorrow is the Fausto Man against big bad John Lackey early on FOX. If you are going to the game, enjoy the hall of fame celebration and get there early!
