We didn't lose a series this time, woohoo. Going into the game I felt really good. The amazing Cliff Lee vs an awful Dontrelle Willis definitely meant success in my mind. And for once, the Indians came through with my prediction. A stellar 8-2 victory was just what we needed. All be it that all of the runs came in the first 2 innings and the bullpen technically didn't give up a run the last 7.2 innings. I was a little scared when there was a rain delay after 4.5 innings. If the game hadn't resumed, it wouldn't have counted since it wasn't through a full 5 innings. But luckily, the weather cleared up and the Indians were able to get the easy win. Although the Indians didn't score after the second innings, it was fine by me, I figured the Indians could hold an 8 run lead..... Dontrelle was as expected. Ineffectively wild and grooved two fastballs that Garko and Shoppach took deep. That was really all we needed. Cliff got the victory going 5 innigns, he would have gone longer, but the rain delay cut his night short. The Rafy's were effective and Masa shut them down preserving the 8-2 victory. But let's just talk about Cliff lee real quick. Come on, I wasn't sure this guy was going to make the team out of spring training. He's been unbelievable going 10-1 this season and the first AL pitcher to 10 games. So way to go Cliff, hopefully you keep it up and not fall apart once the opposing team realizes that you're Cliff Lee.
