2009 game recap Stories - South Side Sox
Game 120: Cleveland 11, Los Angeles 3
If tonight was a look at the future - and with Justin Masterson on the mound, an outfield of LaPorta, Sizemore and Choo, and Cabrera and Valbuena manning the middle of the infield, it sure looked like it - the future is looking a lot nicer than the present. When the game's final pitch was thrown,...
Game 114: Cleveland 1, Texas 4
The fourteen hours between last night's shutout at the hands of the Rangers pitching staff apparently did not give the Cleveland Indians enough time to figure out where they had placed their bats. Today's noon game saw the Indians get off to a good start, with a 1-0 lead in the first on a shallow...
Game 97: Indians 9, Mariners 0
Aaron Laffey is potentially one of our more important question marks looking ahead to the 2010 season. Can he be counted on to fill one of the spots in the rotation (possibly a Cliff Lee-less rotation)? Tonight was just Laffey's 7th start this season with Cleveland, in part owing to his diversion...
Game 47: Cleveland 5, Rays 1
I was on a Toledo sports radio show ("The Benchwarmers") back in March. One of the co-hosts suggested Carl Pavano might be the most important player for the Indians in 2009. I (correctly) suggested that was ridiculous – the Indians were paying Pavano $1.5M and anything he gave them would be...
Game 27: Indians 6, Blue Jays 10
It never comes easy, not even the losses. The Indians offense made 22-year old Brett Cecil look very good in his major league debut for 6 innings. Anthony Reyes managed to somehow be effective, despite not looking particularly good for 6 innings. Once again, though, the Indians bullpen acted...
G-G-G-Gavin And The Bats
Sox took 3 of 4 from the Rays and very well could have had the sweep if it weren't for Ben Zobrist, a cybernetic upgrade from the old Punto model. Still, it was a pretty impressive performance on the weekend. The Rays scored 3 or fewer runs in 3 of the 4 games, while the Sox averaged a full 7...
Diamondbacks 2, Dodgers 11 - A Shot to the Heart
Record: 2-3. Pace: 65-97 Change on last season: -1 I knew that tonight's contest between our beloved Diamondbacks and the invading Dodgers and their legion could be in danger when I walked up to the gate and Sliders began to blast "Shot to the Heart." True to fashion, the D'backs showed they...
Game 2 Recap: Remember Folks, There Are 160 More
Jair Jurrjens and the Braves bullpen shutout the Phillies on six hits. Jamie Moyer pitched five innings, giving up 4 runs. Chan Ho Park pitched in relief as a tuneup to his start Saturday in Colorado. And the Phillies are off to their fourth straight 0-2 start. There are 162 games in the...
