**Joakim Soria- Joakim earned his 25Th save of the season, striking out 2 and now has a 2.54 ERA.
**Travis Hafner- Travis had 3 hits tonight, he finished up 3-5 and he drove in his 42Nd run of the year, Travis is now hitting .284.
**Justin Masterson- Had some base runners early on, but he only gave up 1 run (1 earned) in 6 innings, he walked 4, struck out 4 and now has a 4.25 ERA.
**Shin-Soo Choo- Choo finished the night 1-3 with a triple and 2 walks. He scored the only run the Indians had and he is hitting .298.

**Chris Perez- Chris threw 2 scoreless innings, he walked 1, struck out 3 and now has a 3.47 ERA.
Goofballs:
**Jose Veras- It was strange to me not seeing Kerry Wood, the closer come in after Chris Perez, but we get this guy instead, who probably won't even be on the team next season. He threw 2 innings, giving up 1 run (1 earned), he didn't walk anyone, struck out 2, but ultimately he gave up the Home Run and lost his 3rd game. Veras has a 6.12 ERA.
**Indians Offense- Well, they sure had their chances, that 2Nd time Cabrera got run down, he never should have been sent. DeJesus was playing very shallow and you have to be able to see what is going on as a 3rd base coach, and I just think it was too risky sending him and he wound up being out. So tonight, 1 run, on 8 hits, they had 3 walks, and 13 strikeouts. So the Indians have now scored 1 run in their last 21 innings.
**Luis Valbuena- Struck out 3 times
**Lou Marson- Struck out 3 times and after his 0-4 evening, he is hitting .200.

Indians record in one run games in 2009: 18-17

On Deck:
The Royals swept the Tigers, so they had to have felt good about themselves with their ace pitching. The Indians survived Greinke, but couldn't get to the bullpen. So right now they are going through their troubles too, and now comes the time where the Indians must find a way to get into a groove the final 22 games of the season. A team should never, ever be counting down the days for the season to be over with. I am concerned that might happen to the Indians. Tomorrow is another game with the Royals, airing at 7:05 PM at STO and WKYC-TV3. Indians On Deck airing at 6:30 PM on STO. Luke Hochevar (6-9, 6.10) will take on David Huff (9-7, 6.23). WTAM 1100-AM will air the game if you can't see it on TV. There is also a big showdown with THE Ohio State Buckeyes taking on USC, airing on ESPN at 8:00 PM, so there will be plenty of sports on Saturday night. Go Tribe, go Buckeyes, and God Bless the families that have lost loved ones on September 11Th, 2001. Never forget the brave souls that lost their lives on that horrible day. |
