Gary Sheffield Gets Pounded.. Tribe Winnnn

Seriously Gary, you old, washed-up, no-good, excuse for a hitter.

Whining and complaining how you want to play the field because you don't feel like a baseball player anymore.

NEWS FLASH..

You aren't.. So Just Retire.

Sheffields antics in this game just scream of him being over eager.. Like he is with the fast ball, Sheffield was looking for a fight that wasn't there.

I mean seriously. You get hit, just take your base. Why would Carmona try and put his team in even more of a hole?

Sheffield stares down Carmona like he just murdered his parents, Carmona not backing down stares back. Fausto isn't scared... He'll pound Sheff into dust then run circles around him.

Carmona tries to catch the hot-headed Sheff off the bag at first and whoaa Gary, I guess we can't do that, because he takes it personal.

Note to all pitchers out there.. Don't throw to first base, EVER when Gary Sheffield is on it.. That is if he ever reaches first base ever again.

Then Fausto lays the smacketh down on Sheffield by giving him a few good shots to the top of the dome.

Fausto.. I love you bud. The fact that you'll probably miss ther est of the season is really no big deal, that was well worth it. Sheff deserved a beating for being an idiot.

Love Victor protecting his guy, love Sal Fasano out there playing piece maker, love little Drubby out there pounding away on Sheff as well... It might be wrong, but you know what this team needs some fire, and damnit Sheffield I don't think you realized it, but you turned the tide of that game. It was heading towards an Indians loss, but you woke up a sleeping dragon.

For the first time all year, this team felt alive and I felt as if we were watching the team that was supposed to be out there.

Shin-Soo Choo has all but locked up the RF spot next year... I think its a given even if the job is open in Spring Training. He's the man for the job.. This kid is just hitting the cover off the ball and he's finally reaching that point that we've been waiting for. The Solo Jack, the big three run home run... BEWSH

Jamey Carroll coming up in the clutch after Garko just sends one the other way to get Barfield to third.

HELLLLLL OF A GAME!!!

Sheffield.. He'll get suspended for being dumb.. Carmona will probably get five, which takes him out of his next start.. Probably could make one more if they don't give him 10 which would be two starts.. Victor I don't think we'll get anything, I mean I didn't see him do anything, but you never know. Inge basically tackled him at one point. Drubal will definitely get some if they review the tape. Polanco got tossed, but I'm gonna take a stab and say that was just to make it even between the sides in terms of number of people ejected.

Oh well.. That's just what we needed.. A spark.. This is the team we've been waiting to see and its a great sign going into 2009, we need to see them finish on a high note though.
