Infield fly ...... 2 out ....... Sweeney up with 4 hits coming to this at bat .......

Perez trying to make this about as dicey as it can be ........ 4-3 Tribe, but runners at 1st and 3rd with 2 out.

Whew! Well , I knew that the Indians winning a series in the House of Horrors that is Oakland wouldn't be easy ..... but this is ridiculous. lol Tribe gets out of Oakland with a 2-1 series win. Whew! Still the best record in baseball at 21-9. This was close to a must win with KC winning again today.

Good thing they didn't test Choo's arm in the 10th...
Joe Thomas made Justin Timberlake change his name. He didn't want wusses to have the same initials...

Hey .... you can't be too careful with a pesky young team in 2nd place. Gotta keep them 4 1/2 game back. Don't want to have them thinking that they can start playing with the big boys .....  LOL

Can't we ever have a closer who is automatic? We need to stop this trend of closers that turn into Bob Wickman.

perez has had a couple shaky games, but overall he's been pretty dang good.
remember, the last time we had an 'automatic' closer he melted down at the worst possible time (and coincidentally never recovered)

Perez had a "dead arm" the last time he blew a save, and evidently had a bit of a stiff back today. (according to what I heard on the broadcast of the game)

Well, if you mean a closer as automatic as Rivera, he probably wouldn't be an Indian long -- because of the way baseball is setup, he'd get overpaid somewhere else soon.
I feel 'ya on this, but it is what it is,...more bats, more runs, more offense and you don't have to worry so much about it.

I'm not worried about Perez, but if it continues into the summer, you have to be worried.
The funny thing is, the year Joe Borowski was blowing saves and nearly blowing saves, he actually was not the reason they didn't finish off Boston when they were up 3-1. I don't even think the guy was a factor because of the scores of the games.
I have faith in Perez though, I think he'll be fine.

Choo isn't hitting right now ..... but that throw to gun down the runner trying to go from 2nd to 3rd on a fly ball out was worth at least 1 run.

Choo just blasted that one ... but got robbed himself on a nice play by the Angels. There have been several great defensive plays in this game.

Well ..... in the playoffs, you have to win low scoring, close ballgames ..... so I think that it does show a toughness and an ability to win even in difficult circumstances.
It's still way early .... but I think it could help us later.

Oh crap! Bases loaded for the Angels with nobody out. Choo had another great throw to the plate that would have had the runner if he'd gone.

Alex White goes tomorrow for the Indians. Goes against Weaver, who is the best in the AL.
It gets no easier for the Tribe.

Might be an ugly series ... this was supposed to be our 'easy' pitcher and we couldn't get anything going. They sort of looked like a team that was playing at 1am localtime. Both teams have some stellar defense though!

Then we got Haren tomorrow. We sure have faced some tough pitchers on this west coast trip. We needed that one last night facing Chatwood.

Nice job by Alex White to get out of the jam.
I am so encouraged by the 2 young pitchers. They've both shown signs they can pitch at this level.
