It's Tribe Time | A Cleveland Indians Franchise

[LC AAU]

Thanks LC, but it's not 182. Working towards that goal.

If your talking about just a regular season, it's 162 .

Good luck against the Angels, Lackey isn't pitching very well.

Good Golly Miss Molly!

Victor Martinez was one of many Indians, to hit a home run.

AP - Cleveland, OH - If there were any doubt that the Indians wouldn't be able to keep rolling? Well they're long gone now. The Tribe put up their best offensive performance of the season in a 12-3 pounding of the Angels. Los Angeles had no answer for the long ball as the Indians hitter pushed across seven home runs on the day.

The Tribe hitters made quick work of Jared Weaver, and Moseley. Weaver worked four innings and was pounded for 5 earned runs. Moseley pitched well through two innings but his final inning and a third he gave up 7 earned runs. The Angels never stood a chance against the big wood of Cleveland.

"We hit the hell out of the ball. You don't get many opportunities to do that at this level. Luckily today we took advantage of bad pitches and made the Angels pay for the mistakes. Something we have to do from now until the post-season. Make teams pay for mistakes." Commented Eric Wedge on the best performance offensively for the Indians.

The Tribe will host the Angels for two more games and welcome the Mariners from the emerald city, for a three game set.

They Play Defense Too!

Ben Francisco makes the diving catch in the top of the ninth.

AP - Cleveland, OH - After turning in one of the most productive offensive performances a night before. The Indians out did themselves with a defensive gem. This one was a SportsCenter highlight top 10 of it's own.

The Indians did all they could on the defensive side of the ball to bring in Aaron Laffey's tenth win of the season. :Laffey becomes the fourth Indians pitcher to hit double digit wins, this season. That coupled with his 100th strike out of the season and this Indians starting rotation is looking deadly.

"I was on the verge of being out the door". Said Laffey, referring to his early season struggles in a stint where he went 0-3 in four starts, the other decision was also a loss for the Indians. "They told me to up my game. And I did. I deliver consistently every night."

Laffey has delivered consistency. For every two wins, he turns a loss. As long as he remains in the positive, that's OK for manager Eric Wedge. "Aaron is doing a great job for us. We have a starter. Weather it's for closing out, or maintaining, or winning a series. Aaron can bring you all that."

3B Figgins 3-5 |

(Note: I was messing with Rosters and I guess I hit "auto-fix" and didn't realize it. This was the line-up the computer came up with, lol. I played with it, effective but doesn't make a damn bit of sense. Martinez hitting second?)
