KCK, you've got to see this. DeRo was up against Mo Rivera in the 9th. There were runners at first and second with two outs. I think Phil Cuzzy was more confused by Mo's slider than DeRo! He called two strikes that were completely out of the strike-zone and the final one to call him for the final out! DeRo was furious, slammed his bat and chewed the ump out. You don't make that call to end the game. It was an awful call and Umpire Phil Cuzzy was wrong!
A BAD day for umpire Phil Cuzzy.
An unfortunate day for the Indians.
I'm not one for using umpires as excuses, but this one was awful all day long and especially when it counted most! This moron cost us the game!

UH-OH, it's going head-to-head with Pistons-Cavs game 1!
Better stock up on batteries for that remote, Matt!

What a day fellas! Injuns v. Yanks and Cavs v. Pistons! Wow!
I DVR'd both and watched them both in their entirety....
BTW, I have quite a lengthy post to recap today's Tribe game. It will follow shortly, as soon as my heart stops racing...

CUE CHEAP TRICK BECAUSE THE YANKEES JUST "SURRENDERED"!!!!!!
The home run derby isn't until July, but somebody didn't tell Cleveland! (6 home runs).
To say the new Yankee Stadium is a "hitters park" is a HUGE understatement! It's still April and the ball flies out of this stadium like a canon! In the first 3 days of the new stadium's existence, the Indians have outscored the Yanks 37-12!
Meanwhile, 5 miles down the road in Citi Field, the Mets win 1-0! Ho-hum...
The Indians just set the bar for Yankee Stadium's new record book scoring 14 runs in the second inning of a 22-4 victory! Never has a team scored as much in 1 inning against the Yankees.
The most runs against the Yankees in a complete game was 24. This was set by the 1928 Cleveland Indians (of course). The 2009 version came just 3 runs shy of beating their previous record. Today's 22 runs tied the most given up at home in Yankees history, also shared with the '87 Indians. Anyone noticing a trend here? The Indians beat up on the Yankees like a rented mule!
And for those of you who didn't watch the national televised event on Fox, Asdrubal Cabrera (our #9 hitter) just missed out on his 2nd grand slam of the day in the 9th inning by 12". Instead, the Yankees left fielder slammed against the wall to make the catch for the 3rd and final out, saving them 4 more runs and a 26-4 finale. Consider youself lucky Yankee fans. It could've been much worse.
A few key stats:
G. Sizemore: 3 for 4, 1 HR, 1 RBI
M. DeRosa: 4 for 7, 1 HR, 6 RBI
V. Martinez: 2 for 4, 1 HR, 2 RBI
T. Hafner: 3 for 7, 1 HR, 1 RBI
A. Cabrera: 4 for 6, 1 Grandslam, 5 RBI
S. Choo: 2 for 4, 1 HR, 3 RBI
Lost in this blowout was Tribe manager, Eric Wedge earning his 500th win as Skipper for the Tribe. Congrat's Wedgie! I'm sure you'll remember this win for quite some time!
Carl Pavano takes the mound tomorrow for the Tribe for the first time against his former team. Not that this series needed more drama, but the plot will indeed thicken....
Eric Wedge must be good if you call your manager Wedgie.How about Zack Greinke!!!
The Royals righthander threw a complete game, 7 hit shutout against the Rangers. He also struck out 10 batters.
Greinke is now 3-0 and has thrown 20 scoreless innings to start the season!
