But I haven’t wrote in awhile and I’m bored, so I figured why the hell not? Today is that 20% chance the Indians have at winning one out of every five games they play. That means Cliff Lee is on the hill. Tonight he opposes Blue Jays rookie lefthander Brett Cecil. I’m not sure what the Indians record is right now, but I can assure you I’m doing them a service by not mentioning it.
Some things that caught my script “I”:
-I had to catch the first inning in the car and thought it was interesting that Tom Hamilton said one thing that’s certain is Marco Scutaro will have a big series since he is a former Indian farmhand, referencing the big series had by Franklin Gutierrez and Russell Branyan in the Seattle series. I thought it was a nice little jab at the Indians inept front office.
-I haven’t wrote in awhile, but Kelly Shoppach still sucks. And Grady Sizemore still can’t get a hit when there is any pressure on him.
-July must be the month of the siesta in Venezuela as Victor Martinez is only hitting .122 this month.
-I’m still amazed at how much of a gamer the am/pm voiceover guy is, continuing to work with laryngitis.
-Former Indian Brian Tallet is warming up in the Blue Jays bullpen. I’m sure he will come in and get the win later.
-This game only appears to be a pitcher’s duel on the surface. No score in the 7th inning is deceiving as the Indians have left plenty of runners on base and in scoring position.
-I always felt bad for the Blue Jays, being in the A.L. East. They just always seemed to be in a baseball purgatory so to speak. But now that the Indians are in baseball hell, purgatory isn’t looking too bad.
-The Blue Jays get a solo shot from Scott Rolen in the 7th to go up 1-0, that should be plenty for them.
-The Indians load the bases in the bottom of the 9th with no outs. I'm preparing for the epic meltdown. The result: So far two runs on Victor Martinez's double (It was that siesta crack I made).
-Thankfully, Wedge let Cliff Lee come out in the 9th to finish this thing off, and he did. Indians win 2-1, yippidee freaking doo dah.
So even though the Indians ended up winning, why did I decide to write tonight? If you have any ideas why or have an idea of something you’d like to see me write about (besides the Indians), email me at bvee10@gmail.com.
