Tribe survive Arlington for win over Rangers

That is what you call a win.

See.. Like they did earlier this week on Tuesday, they did it again tonight.

Everyone but Grady had a hit. Everyone but three scored a run, all but three knocked in a run, everyone took part in the scoring.

Just clean station to station hit and hit double knock in the run baseball.

Carroll 2-4 with the two runs and Francisco with the 3-5 night knocking in one.

Jhonny Peralta had a good night, his first out was a productive one and he also knocked in a run. Ryan Garko did it again in the first inning with his double. Cabrera and Gutierrez found ways to knock runs in. Andy Marte tripled in Sal Fasano on a good looking hit.

Great quote by Sal Fasano on his track meet on the Andy Marte triple. Matt Underwood asked him about it and all he could say was.

"Aw please don't talk about that, I was very tired after that."

I could imagine big Sal.

Sal was out there hacking too, he is still hitting .300!

Fausto looked reaaaal good out there tonight. Especially in the Texas stadium. He got it done for six innigs just six hits and three walks. The one run was not earned and he struck out five. Great job by Fausto tonight, he looks like he is getting it together.

Rafael Perez looked domininant as all get out in the 8th inning and then all of a sudden two walks and a stupid home run. You know I hate Texas.

So one run game, but the Tribe battle to put some very important runs on the board in the 9th.

Which brings in Jensen Lewis with a three run lead and The Closer gets it done. He gives up a cheapy to Brandon Boggs that I thought would be a fly ball. But no bubbles, no troubles. A huge strikeout of Josh Hamilton with Michael Young on base. Frank Catalanononononotspellingthatnameo would follow with a strikeout as well and J-Lew would then get Blaclock to line out to shortstop.

Winnnnnner. Five in a row and look 60 wins.. 7 away from .500 record.. Looking good.

Brandon McCarthy makes his season debut, yes season debut against Jeremy Sowers. Get out your mits it's gonna be a bombardment.
