Tribe Poundd Blue Jays into a Pile of Feathers

I’ve only left a few games early in all my time going to see Tribe games. Those few times I had some good reasons, and not because the game was “over” or anything.

Tonight was one of those nights you didn’t feel like sticking around.

But, hell with it, I did anyway, and only cause we were winning.

Super Sizemore: You know the night is going to be good when Grady leads it off with a home run.

Carroll gets a hit, Dellucci gets a walk and Vic singles to who we will now call “Bad Hands” Brad Wilkerson. More on that later.

Francisco sac flies, Hafner gets hit by a pitch and Cabrera starts his night off good with a 2-run single. Blake then singled him home and Grady ended the inning with a ground out after he started it.

Just an explosive inning. Grady added another run with a double in the 4th, and Victor singled him and Blake home to make it a 9 run game.

The scoring would end in the 5th inning when Grizzle hit his 2nd home run of the night to give him five RBI.

I could just feel blowout in the atmosphere tonight. Unfortunately for me, I own Dustin McGowan in a lot of fantasy leagues, so while I’m happy with the output, I wish John Gibbons would have been a little quicker with his hook. Haaaaah

The Laughing Man: It won’t be a story but Aaron Laffey was just working it tonight.

He was just awesome.. Pretty much cruised till the 7th inning when he loaded up the bases. But he did get the 7 shutout innings.

Great for him and great for this team to get another good performance.

Honestly though the offense was the story, and rightfully so. It was MUCH needed.

Bad Hands Brad: If you watched the game then you know Brad Wilkerson had a pretty rotten night.

I sit in right field for a lot of weekend games(It also explains why I like all our right fielders), and tonight we got acquainted with Brad Wilkerson. Bad Hands fumbled two balls in the first inning, and then another one later in which he kicked in front of him. Just a bad overall game for him.

Of course the lovely right field section 109 had to adopt him as our kill guy for the night. One guy even went to the make a sign station and made a “GO BRAD” sign.

Bad Hands, we love you.. Don’t take it hard. I think he flipped us off at one point, but I might have been seeing things.

Tomorrow we got Fausto and Burnett at 1:00 and going for the series win early.
