Game 25 Thoughts
-Yes, my pick to click was way off. I chose him just to give myself all the more reason to cheer for him. And yeah, so I could flaunt it over everyone if he played well like I had picked.
-Five straight wins against quality opponents. The Sox aren't just feasting on the Royals of the world.
-I love the fact that Paulie had the green light on 3-0 on his first inning homer.
-I'm a little surprised to hear all the boos cascading down on Thome. I thought the fans would have been more understanding considering he was a god in Cleveland before. It was sweet justice that he got the insurance run across in the ninth, putting a major damper on the Indians comeback hopes.
-Pods made a terrible play in the field, but balanced that with an outstanding day at the plate. He had four hits, three runs, 4 or 5 SB depending on how you count things. Earlier in the game when Pods was hit with the ball while stealing is technically considered a CS.
-I may being picky, but to me Pods still seems a bit slow. He doesn't seem lightning fast like last year. During the first half last year, you expected him to steal a base no problem. This year though, I half expect him to get caught. Some of the bases he stole today were pretty close, and Martinez literally can't throw anyone out. He hasn't thrown out a runner yet.
-Most players looked alternately great and horrible at the plate except for Pods, Mackowiak and Uribe. They put together solid days at the plate. Having Mackowiak around makes things a little easier for Dye. He doesn't have to rush back from his injury knowing Mack can hold the fort down in right.
-Javy pitched a pretty good game. His control wasn't the greatest, but he got outs when he needed them. He did a great jobe weathering the storm and only giving up one unearned run after the back to back errors by Pods and Iguchi.
-McCarthy pitched poorly again. This road trip has been real unkind to him. Hopefully Coop can straighten out what ever is going on with him. I still have a lot of faith in the kid though.
-The grand slame McCarthy gave up, pumped a new life into the Indians and the fans. This game was slowly drawing to a close, but credit the Indians for fighting back.
-Cotts didn't pitch well either, it may be fatigue. He pitched last night.
-Today was the most dominant we've seen Jenks since last year. He was lights out. Granted he did let in that one run, but it was on a broken bat dribbler. He stuck out three guys with three wicked hooks. Seeing Jenks like this has to scare the crap out of the opposition.
