ap recap :: box score :: game log
It was a heartbreaker. The Indians came back from a 8-run deficit only to lose in the 10th because of a 2-run HR by Jose Valetin. Urg.
Tonight brings another shot at the W.Sox. You have to love baseball if for only the fact that you don't have to wait a week to see your team play!
What you don't see every day
Coco Crisp, Ronnie Belliard, and Matt Lawton hit homers. These guys are lead-off hitters--what are they doing going deep?
A theory verified
Last week, I hypothesised that the reason Coco was starting to hit was because of Escobar being sent down. Apparantly, both players were told that one of them would be sent down. That night, Coco went 4-4. He hasn't stopped.
Relief on its way?
Bob Wickman is getting regular pitching outings in Akron and apparantly is feeling good. Jack-in-the-Box (as I call him) could be a huge shot in the arm for the team, especially the bullpen. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but with all the rehabbers and the talent playing for the Aeros, I wish I lived in Akron again! I'd be at Canal Park every week :)
