Carrera with a double to start it out.

Hate to see the Indians fall below .500 for the first time in a while.

E and fielder's choice ... now 1st & 3rd none out for Choo.

And Choo with a dinger!

WAHOO!!!

CHOO!!

THAT ONE WAS REALLY FOR ABIGAIL!

Wow, talk about a team on the ropes. They live!

C Perez with the ol' blown-save-anna-Win trick.

7-5 win for the Tribe in the opener.

I was ready to throw dirt on them.

HAPPY ONE DAY BIRTHDAY MS. CHOO!

I think Choo is back primarily because he is showing power to the opposite field.

First stretch of solid ABs from Choo all season. Remarkable we did as well as we did without him as a consistant offensive weapon

I know that strikeout pitchers and groudn ball pitchers have varying preferences for day and night ball, but I forget which; Bill James used to explain it all

Strikeout pitchers do better at night--worse visibility. I'm not sure if groundball pitchers have a preference.

I know ALL groundball pitchers do better on teams other than the current Tribe.

How many wins in a row does this make with the Indians needing a win to not fall under .500? I think it's at least 4 in recent weeks.

Back from the game! I was in quite a funk after Perez blew it again, but when we had men on 1st and 3rd, it looked like we would at least tie it. But then Choooooooooooo got us all on our feet! What a turn of events!

..............WE WIN!!!

I was in the field boxes below the club seats, but didn't feel the earthquake. I was listening to Hammy though, who was quite concerned about the radio booth shaking.
