KABOOM!

Sizemore leads off the game with a homer!

[Frayed Knot]

Wang on just 3 days rest not looking like a great maneuver early on -- 2 runs on 3 hits in inning one

I'm surprised to find that the TBS Hot Corner, available from mlb.com, is a worthwhile supplement to the TV. If the Mets were playing, it would be unnecessary and distracting but not so with the MFYs playing. There are four screens, two are from cameras used in the telecast, one has the score and pitch anaimation, and the fourth has the online studio crew (one of which is a woman with long legs).

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Way to turn them away, Paul.

That's a gut-punch right there.

[Frayed Knot]

Jeter & Abreu with consect 1-out singles ... but an ARod 'K' and a sliding catch by Lofton on a Posada bloop gets Paul Byrd out of the inning unscathed.

[Valadius]

Bases loaded, no outs for the seriously, I just used a racist word when I really meant "Guardians".

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I like how the trainer and manger sold the whole "are you OK?" thing with Shoppach the entore time the MFYs argued and the umps met.

They were "working" on his hand when replays showed if anything, it hit his shoulder and definitely not his hand.

Wagner out after 1-plus. I guess the MFYs will put him on the DL too.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I called Wang Wagner. Funny.

[Valadius]

Tribe 4, MFYs 0. I'm loving this.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Byrd is living very dangerously. Two walks come back to haunt him as Jeter singles in a run. Bases loaded with 2 outs, Abreu up.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Okay Indians, we need more runs. And Byrd, we need less excitement when you're on the mound.

Come on Indians!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is going to go on forever.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

JC Lunchbucket - "I called Wang Wagner. Funny."

Glavine would have been more appropriate.

[metirish]

Great analysis by Gwynn, Cleveland's two out hits all series has been uncanny, two nights in a row he has said that.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Here's a scenario for you:

Yankees lose today. Joe Torre gets fired tomorrow.

Would he (could he) be Willie Randolph's new bench coach?

And what would we think of that?

[metirish]

It would be a great PR move for sure, I'd rather see an NL guy come aboard.

[nymr83]

A) he wouldn't do it and i wouldn't want him.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Willie's still manager next year?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

MFYs are getting absolutely jobbed. That was a cool play.

I'll take Joe as bench coach. Don't think Willie would. Great idea tho.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Bruce Froemming called that swinging strike a ball earlier, it all evens out.

[Valadius]

I am loving this game!

[metirish]

I fucking hate MFY fans, I dunno they just make me want to puke.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

This could go on until midnight, I doubt I'll see the end, if the whole 7th.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Jeter intangibles = double play with game on the line.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Jeets trying to end it early.

Gotta suck to be him. Arod making him look bad in the season AND postseason.

[metirish]

Huge double fucking play by the captain.......hell yeah baby.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Arod just twisting that knife into Jeter's back.

[Frayed Knot]

Indians need a few more runs so they can Borowski-proof this game.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Hey! Freaking Rivera stole Billy Wagner's entrance song! Bastard!

Do Mike and the Mad Dog know about that?
