We've had two guys thrown out at home tonight.

I guess maybe our 3rd base coach went retro uni, ala Skinner uni.

White Sox have lost in 10 innings.

Detroit has lost as well.

Let's get these final outs.

Let's keep the streak going, Chris.

Tribe pitchers have K'd 5 straight 9th inning batters.

..............WE WIN!!!

Make that 6 K's in the 9th in a row.

We win!

Two straight games with Tribe pitchers striking out the side in order in the 9th inning.

I bet that doesn't happen often back to back.

Not with Perez pitching!

We gained ground over Chicago, Detroit and likely KC tonight. KC had surprisingly moved within 3 1/2 of second place, but they are down big late now.

I understand, but here's an excerpt from a story tonight....

Perez ended things in style by striking out the side for his 23rd straight save. It's the second longest single-season save streak in franchise history. The victory made the Indians 8-8 in interleague play.

Sorry folks, but with a nod to Woody Allen's Zelda Fitzgerald character in Midnight in Paris:


You have a glazed look in your eye. Stunned. Stupefied. Anesthetized. Lobotomized.



My South Carolina Gamecocks unbelievably got off the mat, and yes won over Gaylord's and Ohio's Kent State Golden Flashes. And won another game the same day.....yesterday....... over Arkansas who was 2-0 at one point in double elimination.

And defeated Arkansas moments ago 3-2, to knock Arkansas out and wipe the slate clean to face Arizona in a best of three for a possible third consecutive NCAA Baseball World Series Championship.

Gomez is perfect through 4 innings. I believe he pitched a perfect game in Akron, which might have been a tougher challenge than the current Astros lineup.

He wasn't so perfect after the 4th

Astros are teeing off on Tribe pitching! Homers and doubles galore! 7-1, bottom 8th now.

I count 5 doubles and 3 homers for HOU.

8-1 final.

Gomez first 7 starts:
3-2, 3.35 ERA

Last 6 starts:
1-5
7.92 ERA
8 HR in 30 innings
