Indians vs. Yankees - Game 1

• grodt

  

  Jake Westbrook (6-6, 4.74) vs. Javier Vazquez (8-7, 4.68)
  
  A-Rod still looking for #600 in this first game of the 4-game set.
  
  As a side note, the last time Vazquez and Westbrook matched up (I think), was 5 years ago in New York...a game the Indians won 22-0

  I have a feeling that Arod gets number 600 tonight.

  Pronk with a blast to put the Indians up 1-0 early

  Salem Ohio's own Jerry Meals on the umpiring crew for this series... I'm not sure if he grew up a Tribe fan or not.

  Choo with a double scoring Brantley from 1st and the Tribe is up 2-1.

  Classic Jake Westbrook. Always pitches just badly enough to lose. Indians score 0, he'll give up 1. Score 4, he'll give up 5.
  
  That's why he's a sub-.500 pitcher for his career, even with a decent ERA.

  Lay it to Rivera.

  Lead-off single for Supernatural.

  I hope all the Yankee fans who were at the game get stopped by the cops on their way home.

  So the team that has a payroll of 200 million beat the team with a payroll of 50 million. It's just so shocking. Maybe Jordo can explain again about the parity of baseball.

  agreed--when he pitches with a lead,you know a game tying/winning homer is just around the corner--never fails

  His reaction to the Granderson was pretty funny. I felt bad for him, he really only made two bad pitches all night, but in the worst spots and the hitters pounced on them both.
