(It was also nice of Brandon to break up his 2-21/9K mini-slump later in the game). Cleveland showed the difference in execution in the bottom half - and pretty funny for the Tribe fans to start raining "boos" on Dellucci for failing at the same task. It was a sight that much the Tigers land-locked lineup of last year would've provided. Its so nice to have Sheffield gone. One final plea: play Ramon Santiago every day. I still fail to see what makes him a backup to Everett, beside's AE's supposed "reputation" for defense. Santiago continues to outplay him in every facet.

As long as we aren't playing them I wish them the best. Arod and Greinke are two fantastic players.

Oh, I know! 2 straight shutouts and Greinke throws a 4-hit 1-run complete game, and loses 1-0 to the Angels. What could be better than 2 straight shutouts (WITH bacon)?
