Yankees Bug Out!
Even before Gen. Moses Cleaveland arrived here in 1796 and first surveyed what would become a delirious baseball town on the shores of Lake Erie, residents occasionally had to deal with swarms of gnat-like insects called midges, which descend in vicious waves from Canada and overwhelm just about any warm body.
Friday, in an eighth inning of a game where the Cleveland Indians couldn't swat a fly if it meant pushing a run across the plate, the midges arrived unannounced and landed, seemingly all at once, on Joba Chamberlain's neck (game over).
My pick for MVP of game 2 - Fausto Carmona. What a nasty ass slider!
Faced 22 hitters and 18 hit ground balls. Not bad for his 1st post season appearance.
Big ups to Andy Pettitte, he pitched a hell of a game!
Unfortunately for the Yankees, Fausto Carmona countered with a masterful performance of his own!
Damn good game!
It's Tribe Time Now!
Foot Note: Alex Rodriguez goes 0-for-4 with 3 strikeouts
