**Kurt Suzuki- Kurt went 1-3 at the plate and hit the big shot, a 3 run Home Run to extend the lead at the time to 5-0. Kurt has 13 Home Runs, 78 RBIs and is now hitting .267 after a 1-3 with a walk evening.

**Brad Kilby- Brad threw a scoreless inning, earning his 1st hold and now has a 0.00 ERA.
**Craig Breslow- Craig threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings, earning his 13Th hold of the year and he now has a 3.59 ERA.
**Michael Wuertz- Michael threw 2/3 of an inning without giving up a run. He now has 22 holds, he walked 1, struck out 2 and now has a 2.85 ERA.
**Andrew Bailey- Picked up his 25Th save of the year, he threw 1 inning, and struck out the side. Andrew now has a 1.95 ERA.
**Lou Marson- Lou went 3-4 with a double and is now hitting .265. He deserves to play more.

Goofballs:
**Justin Masterson- Justin threw 4 innings, he gave up 5 runs (5 earned), he walked 4, struck out 6 and now has a 4.49 ERA.
**Indians Offense- 2 runs on 6 hits, they walked 4 times, struck out 9 and left 8 men on base.
**Umpires- C.B. Buchnor and Mike Everitt both made awful calls at 2Nd base and 1st base respectively. In fact if Mike, the 2Nd base umpire had made the correct call, and called the runner out at 2Nd base, Suzuki never would have hit a 3 run Home Run. I wish the Indians players would argue a bit more, even if they do get thrown out of the game. Luis Valbuena should have been chirping that call all inning long since he was the one who got hit by the hand on the tag he made at 2Nd base. I actually think the umpires want the Indians to lose 100 games.
Indians record after 146 games in 2009: 61-85

Indians record in one run games in 2009: 18-17
Indians Quality Starts in 2009: 64
On Deck:
I don't know why I still care anymore. Eric Wedge has clearly lost this team and the very first day after the season is over should be fired. Three weeks ago, this team played like they had a direction and they finished off a great month of August, but now they are 3-13 in the month of September, and they look like they have no real shot at getting back to .500. So there is another game Friday night, the countdown to the end of the regular season continues. Game starts at 10:05 PM, will air on STO, with Indians On deck at 9:30 PM. David Huff (10-7, 6.14) will try and win his team leading 11Th game and will try and play the role of "stopper". He will be opposed by Brett Anderson (9-10, 4.37). The Indians game will air on WTAM 1100-AM. |
