Indians 10 Mariners 8: Yan Freaking Gomes and the Mariners Defense – a Lethal Combination
I have been to hundreds and hundreds of baseball games in my 37 years on this earth. I don’t think I have ever witnessed a game like this one. The beauty of baseball is that every time out, you may see something you have never seen before. Today was one of those days.
Like the great Mr. Skin says, “Let us fast forward right to the good parts.”

Say it loud. Say it proud. Your Cleveland Indians are a first place baseball team. Sure, you can tell me how two years ago they were 30-15 and how last year they spent time on top of the AL Central during the first two months of the season, but this just feels different, doesn’t it?
Manny Acta’s clubs were fools gold. They won a lot of low scoring, one-run games thanks to a fantastic...

Indians 7, Tigers 6

MLB admits home run call blown, will not overturn
I hear the calls now “this is why we need instant replay” and “instant replay now”. But what if you had instant replay and it didn’t work? We have a case in point. Of course, we’re talking about the apparent home run by Oakland Athletics IF Adam Rosales off of Cleveland Indians Chris Perez, which would have tied up the game with 2 outs in the 9th inning, but was...
MLB admits to “improper call” after A’s were robbed of home run
The Oakland A’s have a very good reason to mad after Wednesday’s game against the Cleveland Indians. It appeared A’s shortstop Adam Rosales hit the game-tying home-run off Indians closer Chris Perez in the ninth inning. The play was ruled a double on the field, and even after reviewing it, the umpires stuck to the double call (even though the ball clearly hits the railing behind...
Second Thoughts Game #31: A's 3, Indians 4
The Indians catch a break
Unless my admittedly questionable eyesight is failing desperately theAdam Rosales homerun/double call and later review may have been the most abysmal, egregious call I have seen in a long time.
How this crew failed to correct the call on the field and reward Rosales with a homerun is beyond me. However, fortunately for Chris Perez and the Indians this...
Indians 4 A’s 3: Its Better To Be Lucky Than Good
When this series with Oakland began, I wrote that umpire Angel Hernandez was arguably the second worst umpire in the game behind C.C. Bucknor. Tonight, the crew chief was at second base. Three nights ago he did the Tribe a favor when he didn’t toss Oakland starter Jarrod Parker for throwing at the head of Mark Reynolds after giving up two homers earlier in the inning. If he had...
A’s get screwed on replay for game-tying home run in 9th (Video)

Adam Rosales robbed of home run after umpires blow instant replay
Your browser does not support iframes.
