Swisher and Santana go yard back to back, and we are leading, 4-3, end of 6.

Indians and Perez just caught a huge break! Replay showed the ball hitting the railing for a homer, but the umps watched the replay, and called it a double!

I have been watching. I will be going to games after my high school umpire season ends in about 3 weeks, I know 15 tickets may not be a lot. BUT I LOVE MY INDIANS.

4-3 WE WIN.

...............

Not sure what video footage the umpires used. Both Cleveland and Oakland's footage clearly showed it as home run.

I can understand Melvin getting ejected over that call.

It's an automatic ejection if you argue the call after a replay review. But it seems like the A's got robbed.

This team is coming around.....

(no whitewalls offended in this particular post)

No credit from me is given to Mark Shapiro after his near quarter century drinking from the Indians Fan trough to get his salary.


If Mark Shapiro would have heard or read the name Ariel Castro from a scouting report, Mark would have likely thought he was another Hispanic his Ivy League upbringing needed to ignore.

Nothing against Mark, as apparently just about everyone in Cleveland with Obama Phones and no intelligence and locked doors in precincts that voted over 99 percent for Barack Obama failed to notice....... over a decade that three young girls were being held captive in the house on the same or adjacent block.

In Obamaland.

Tribe is playing good recently, just the same.

LOL @whitewalls

Yeah, this is my kinda ball club.

The A's got hosed on that call, Monty.

It looked like a definite Home Run. But there have been times we have been screwed on calls.

Also it would have only tied the game, nothing says A's would have won. MLB TV seems to emphasize the game was "stolen" from them.

Just remember the Jeter HR.

Crap happens.

I can't believe Buster Only is babbling on and on over at ESPN that the inning should be replayed. Are you freaking kidding me? Buster needs to get a clue!!!! Only in Cleveland does this crap happen. This would be a non issue if this game had been played in NY.

As I scrolled throuigh a couple days posts here I found a complaint from earlier in the week about the quality of the umpiring. I by contrast think they did a great job last night. In fact, if we happen to edge out the Athletics by 1 game to make the wild card round, I think Angel Hernandez deserves a playoff share and his crewmates get to share one, too.

Broke down and bought gameday audio.....just in time to Kipnis 2 run homer....

Tribe up 2-0 after homer by Kipnis.

5-0 Now

Reynolds scored on a double by Gomes, Gomes to 3rd on a bad throw.
Stubbs singles Gomes home.
Kipnis Sac fly to score Stubbs.

So nice to listen to it.
