Does that mean you want Zito back?
Manny hits a no-doubter in the 9th to win it, after Joe Borowski had already blown the save. How did he have 45 saves last year?
Ortiz wasn't crushing anything, but he did get 2 hits last night, after Mike Lowell performed an exorcism on him in the dugout before the game. Wierd, but they all looked like they were getting a good laugh out of it.
Lester looked great for 3 innings and then just collapsed. That's bad. But Tavarez, who I have been hating since he was in St. Louis, pitched fantastic to keep the game within reach.
I noticed last night that all the signage behind home plate says "Progressive Field". I guess I missed it, but the Indians changed the name of the ballpark. I hate that. Is anybody besides me bothered by ballpark names that are simply corporate sponsorships? At least with Busch Stadium and Wrigley Field, they were names of actual people (owners). I just hate "Petco Field", "Minute Maid Park", "Tropicana Field".
Speaking of which. . .
Yankees blew a 5 run lead, but pulled it out late. Darn. Today I'm wearing my Tampa Bay hat that I got last year (on my annual baseball trip with my college roommate, Dan). Maybe that'll get the Rays over the hump against the Yanks.
