VICTOR!; Reyes, Cliff, New Signing; 09 Schedule

Hey Hey Hey!

I never would have stayed up till 11:45 had I not thought we had a chance to win that game, especially with early classes in the morning.

But Victor Delivers!

Great moment for him.. It's been a tough season and for him to do that just makes it a little better. You could see the excitement on his face.

AND HOW ABOUT THE RETURN OF THE RALLY PIE?!

Been a long time since we saw that, I didn't catch who did it, but thank you to whoever it was.

Now we go for a sweep of the Twins and.. Look who is on the mound.. Not a good series for the Twins as their AL Central hopes are taking a huge hit with this. After losing that game in that fashion and eying a sweep.. They will want to do their damnest to salvage this series.. So let's go Cliffaaaad

"We got him once," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I don't know how we did it, but we got him."

Remember that the Twins are one two teams to beat him, so let's see if they have him again.

If you didn't hear, the Indians are shutting down Anthony Reyes for the year.. Precautionary... No reason to risk it, Reyes knows he will have a good shot at winning a rotation spot next year.

Scott Lewis will probably join him if he continues this.. I mean there is no reason to say he can't compete if he keeps throwing up zeros against Major League offenses. I still think he'll end up starting the year in Triple-A but who knows, he might not finish there.

Hey the Schedule for 2009 is out!

Pretty interesting stuff.. Let's just go down here right quick.

Home Opener is April 10th against Toronto, so never fear, an AL East team that can easily be made up if anything happens. We will open the year in TEXAS on the 6th! So, I like that.. Hot weather is what works well for this team and starting right out of the gate for it should be good.

Cleveland will be involved in a little bit of history..

It is in fact the Tribe that will be helping the Yankees kick off their new era in their new stadium. The Yankees home opener is scheduled for April 16th against the Tribe to kick off a four game series. That will be fun.

Interleague Teams: Cincinnati of course, @Pittsburgh and Chicago.. I may have to jaunt over to PNC to check that out.. Then we welcome in St. Louis and...... Milwaukee! I don't think CC will be there but, hey hey that'd be nuts.. Don't think CC would sign in the central either so we'll see how that pans out.

September looks goooood for us as we have 18 home games to just 10 road games with two 9 game road trips.. We end the year in October against the Red Sox with a FOUR GAME series in Fenway.. That will be nuts!

Of course we'll examine the schedule further when we find out the national games and all that fun stuff.

How about this new signing we had? Chen-Chang Lee!!! I watched Cuba play in the Olympics and they are one touuuuuuuuuugh team. Lee pitched well against them so that's encouraging. Anyway he'll start the year in Kinston and he's only 21 so that's one guy to watch. The Indians have been watching him since he was 16 years old.

Some places are calling him Lee-Chen Chang.. I've seen Chaing.. I've seen Chen-Chang Lee the most though, so that's what we'll go with..
