    I didn't follow any of the game due to Friday night football so thanks for the re-cap.

    Indians making a run now...
  • HitsRus
    2 games behind KC in the last place race
  • BRF
    Pssst. We're up 3-0 in the 4th.
  • BRF
    Pssst! Now it is tied at 3 in the 8th, thanks to the "sterling" bull pen.
  • HitsRus
    Druby Cabrera hits a walk off in the 10th to send the faithful home happy! The Tribe has now won 3 in a row and will try to complete the Royal Flush this afternoon.

    Carmona on the hill.

    And the bats have gone silent half way through this game in the quest for The Royal Flush.
  • BRF
    Jason Donald must have been listening to BRF. He drills a 2 out 2 run homer over the center field fence to tie the game at 2-2. Headed to the 7th.
  • BRF
    Ahhhh, but Carmona can't hold the lead and is yanked. Crowe saved a run with a great diving catch. Time for the vaunted bull pen.
  • HitsRus
    Tribe let's Crowe swing away and he lines out failing to move the runner...

    ...but the Royals BP helps out and walks Druby. First and second 1 out with Choo coming up.

    Choo grounds out and Brantley gets hammered on a very low 3rd strike.

    You and I would make a good broadcasting team. ;-)

    damn....KC isn't going away quietly...gonna be a battle well into october.
  • HitsRus
    Maybe we should do the games on WQKT.

    5 straight K's on Tribe hitters now...make that 6.
    The good news is that with 2 outs in the ninth no more 7...
  • HitsRus
    Jeez....7K's in a row to end the game.
  • BRF
    FROM the corner of Carnegie and Ontario, it's Indian's baseball with HitsRus and BRF bringing you the "action".
  • HitsRus
    Sad part of it is...is that I should have been at the corner of Ontario and Carnegie...I had tix but didn't go...and couldn't even give them away.
  • BRF
    Well, I would look at it this way. Despite burning the tickets, you saved a lot of money by not going. :-). Just trying to make you feel better.
