1 win, thats all that was needed for the Cleveland Indians, It was all for naught. Yes it was dissapointing, but in the scheme of things a learning experience. In all reality they were lucky it went 7 games, Carmona looked awful in his 2 starts, Sabathia looked awful in game 1 and got outpitched by Josh Beckett in game 5. It also didn't help that Grady Sizemore and Travis Hafner couldn't produce when it counted. Huge props to Jake Westbrook for gutting out 6 innings last night, and should have come back out for the seventh the way he had found the grove the last 2 innings, he kept the Indians in the game and gave them a chance. It should have been tied going to the bottom of the seventh when Third base coach Joel Skinner held up Kenny Lofton on Franklin Guettierez single down the left field line, It felt like a let down at the time, but the final blow came on Dustin Pedroia's 2 run shot in the bottom of the seventh off of Rafy Betancourt who picked a fine time to blow up.
Thanks for a great year and a great run, I know I didn't even expect they would win the division in April. They played hard all year and in the end collapsed in the bright lights of October, hopefully next year will be different.
GO TRIBE!!
