HA HA!
Ouch.
Ha Ha Ha!!!! Go Blue Jays!!!!
When the Rays beat them 15- 5 last week I started to feel sorry for the Yanks after the first 14 runs.
stuid Yankees ha ha ha
It can take time for a team to build a home field advantage when breaking in a new ballpark.
My heart bleeds for them. I can’t think of a team I would rather that would happen to. And such a shame that it was on national TV. Oh, the HUGE MANATEE.
Wang’s Yin & Yang went Badda-Bing-Bang.
Best news I have heard all day!
Attention! Clean up at New Yankee Stadium.
HA HA!
That’s a heck of a football score...
Depending on your point of view.
LOL LOL WOO HOO LOL LOL WOO HOO........ Well you get the idea. :) GO TRIBE!
Wang's been yanked early and often this short season. His ERA is now over 30.
And with C.C. and Joba looking shaky and the bullpen (except for Mo and Bruney) a complete disgrace, this could be another long season for the Bombers.
Sweet. I’d pay money for the DVD.
Indians Fever
Well at least the concession stands had plenty of time to sell those $7 hot dogs and $10.50 beers during that second inning.
It was almost 25-4. Travis Hafner alomost hit a grand slam in the ninth. Missed by two feet.
Indians set record with 14-run inning
Tribe’s big frame the most runs scored vs. Yanks in history
By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com
NEW YORK — The Indians got a lot done in 37 minutes Saturday.
A 37-minute top of the second at Yankee Stadium saw the Tribe put up 14 runs on 13 hits off right-handers Chien-Ming Wang and Anthony Claggett. The big inning, which set the Tribe on course for its eventual 22-4 victory, tied for the most productive inning in Indians history and set a record for the most productive inning by an opponent in Yankees history.
“Everybody just hit, hit, hit,” said Shin-Soo Choo, whose three-run homer got the inning going in earnest. “It was a good time.”
The Tribe’s good time began with a little dribbler off the bat of Travis Hafner. That seemingly innocuous 30-foot single off Wang on a ball mishit toward third base led to big things. Jhonny Peralta followed with a single, and Choo smacked his three-run shot into the Tribe bullpen in left-center field.
Ryan Garko popped out in foul territory, but that would be the last Tribe out for a long while. The next nine batters would all reach. Ben Francisco doubled, and Asdrubal Cabrera singled to knock him in. Grady Sizemore doubled, and Mark DeRosa followed with a double of his own to bring both runners home and make it 6-2. Wang threw a wild pitch that allowed DeRosa to reach third, then gave up an RBI single to Victor Martinez before getting yanked.
In came Claggett, and the run parade continued. Hafner doubled to put two runners in scoring position, and Jhonny Peralta doubled to bring home the pair and make it 9-2. A Choo walk and Garko single loaded the bases. Francisco struck out, but Cabrera sent Claggett’s 3-1 pitch into the right-field seats for his first career grand slam.
Sizemore followed Cabrera’s big blast with a solo shot that made it 14-2. The Indians were remarkably close to batting around the order for the second time in the inning when DeRosa mercifully struck out to end it.
When all was said and done, the Indians had cranked out 13 hits, including eight extra-base hits. They sent 17 men to the plate, and every member of the lineup scored at least one run. Wang and Claggett combined to throw 69 pitches in the inning.
“It was definitely interesting,” Tribe hitting coach Derek Shelton said. “The biggest part of it was we had seven or eight hits with two strikes. We were able to extend their pitches and have good at-bats. We got rolling and kept going.”
The only other time the Tribe has scored 14 runs in an inning came in the first inning of a June 18, 1950, game against the Philadelphia A’s. The Yankees’ previous most runs allowed in an inning came when they allowed 13 runs to the Tigers on June 17, 1925.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last time a Major League club put up a 14-run inning was June 27, 2003, when the Red Sox did it against the Marlins in Fenway Park. Current Tribe member Carl Pavano pitched for the Marlins in that inning.
“I’ve never been a part of something like that,” Francisco said. “We were putting up good at-bats, one through nine. As long as we put up good at-bats and trust each other, we know we can have a big inning like that.”
Cleveland rocks! Go Sox!
