I hope that I am not the only one excited by tonight's matchup. How often are the pitchers a combined record of 11-0? Come on, Lee has been incredible this season going 5-0 with a .96 ERA, 32 K's, and only 2 walks, which is insane. But he is facing the Yankees, will they make him revert to his usual self? Last year, in 20 games, 16 starts, he went 5-8 with a 6.29 ERA and 17 Home Runs given up in 97 innings, whis is quite awful. Cliff was lucky to start out the season in the rotation because Sowers and Laffey didn't step it up in spring training either. But who knows, now that Cliff's 30, he finally figured things out and knew this season might be his last chance to get it right. But with the Indians offense struggling so mightily against the likes of Gil Meche and Luke Hochevar, this could be a long game. And the chances of light hitting David Dellucci hitting another 3 run HR off of Joba are very unlikely. And with Wang on the mound, who is a sinker ball monster, it could easily be a 1-0 game. However, the Indians blew up Wang last season in the ALDS, but the only Indians position player playing like it's last season is Victor, everyone else is struggling to break a .225 batting average. So hopefully Victor can go 5-5 and Ben Francisco will continue to play decent. Well, i'm excited and can't wait.
