I guess you can't win 'em all.
Chien-Ming Wang was good, but Cliff Lee was better as the Indians pieced together single runs in the first, fourth and fifth innings and
shutout the Yanks 3-0 in the Bronx.
I have to be honest Yankee fans, I've failed you once again. I stepped out with some friends after work and that means I get home after 11 o'clock in the p.m. My plan was to watch the game (which I recorded) when I got in, but I'm feeling much too weary. I've become everything I've ever hated.
Therefore, no roundup, but Hideki Matsui did extend his hitting streak to 16 games with a base hit in the second inning.
The Bombers will try and avoid the sweep on Thursday and will give that assignment to the resurgent Mike Mussina (4-3, 4.23 ERA). The Tribe will counter with Paul Byrd (1-2, 3.74 ERA). The Moose has won his last three starts and if you take out his two starts against the Red Sox (I know you can't, but I'm going somewhere with this), he hasn't allowed more than three runs in his other five outings. Byrd beat the Yanks on April 25, but he's 0-2 in four career starts at The Stadium (despite a respectable 3.46 ERA).
The game is a businessman special (1:05 p.m. start time) so if you can, sneak away from work and catch some rays at the game.
As for me, I'll be listening to the action at my desk.
