Chicago at Cleveland 06/02/02 P: Wright vs. Finley

Score: Indians 4 - White Sox 3 WP: Finley LP: Wright

Save: Wickman

BASEBALLS TO:

Chuck Finley: Outstanding! He pitched 7 innings with no walks, 4 hits, and 0 earned runs. He has been dominating his last couple of starts. Where was this guy the last couple of years? Glad to see him now.

Chris Magruder: I think he wants to stay. He had a homerun, a sac fly, and 3 RBI's.

Omar Vizquel: A single and an RBI. Congratulations on receiving his 9th gold glove today.

Einar Diaz: A single, a double, and scored 2 runs. Looks like he is starting to heat up. He also made a great play in the 1st inning. Durham hit a popup to the right side between Thome and Lawton. Thome ran out to try to catch the ball. It fell between Thome & Lawton and Matt picked it up to throw to first as Durham was trying to go to second. Einar came all the way to first to receive the throw and tag Durham out trying to get back to 1st. How often do you see that?

Kenny Lofton: Hit a double in the 9th for an RBI.

Ray Durham: 2 singles, a walk, and an RBI.

Sandy Alomar: He had a double, a single, an RBI, and scored a run. He is very quietly having a good year for the Sox.

GOOFBALLS TO:

Damaso Marte: He came in to face three batters and gave up a single and a homerun.

Frank Thomas: He went 0 for 5 today and made the final out of the game with 2 men on base.

Paul Konerko: He went 0 for 4 and grounded out with the bases loaded in the 8th.

Royce Clayton: He went 0 for 2 and struck out with the bases loaded in the 2nd.

Omar Vizquel: Committed an error in the 2nd when he bobbled an Alomar grounder. He tried to recover and threw to 2nd but it was too late. The runner was safe and it loaded the bases. Ironic that it would happen on a day he receives another gold glove.

Paul Shuey: Sloppy! He came in to pitch the eighth and proceeded to make a mess. He gave up a double, a single, two walks, and gave up a run. He had the bases loaded when he finally managed to get out of it.

Bob Wickman: Even Sloppier! He also gave up 2 singles, a double, a walk, and 2 runs before he got finally got Thomas to line out to end the game. He was walking around the mound a lot between pitches and taking a lot more time than usual. I wonder if that elbow was bothering him.

Ellis Burks and Ricky Gutierrez: Both were hitless for the Tribe today.

GOOD NEWS:

We got the sweep and are now tied for second place.

Hello - first post on this board, and replying to a post from a friend and fellow poster of the B&G awards for the Tribe games. Thanks to SpecialK for the invite here and hope to have some additional fun with fellow Tribe and baseball fans.

It's my turn to do the post for tonight's game vs. twins, and I guess I can look forward to the copy and paste here!

Thanks!

The B&G was one of my favorite posts over at the Indians.com boards, so I figured I would spread the message of you and redrabbit. I normally have a note at the bottom crediting you guys but forgot to do that the last couple days.

Richie, this forum looks kind of familiar, doesn't it? :)

So your turn for B&G tonight? Could be a good one. Let's hope that Jimmy remembers that he LIKES to hit in the Dome! :)

Roy! I shoulda known you'd be around these parts as well! You never know who you'll run into in cyberspace, I guess. It was quite nice of Special K to offer the invite and give our board and B&G posts some notoriety. We have some special talent around there!

Am looking forward to this series vs. Twins, and the outcome will be interesting. Regardless, we're still playing ball, at least for now, and it's good that some guys are stepping up and giving us their best.

Hey Roy, thanks for coming over. I was getting bored over here with no Tribe fans so I invited about 5 people from a few boards I use to come over here.

SpecialK, you're welcome! Last year I spent weeks as almost the only poster on mlb.com's Indians board and I know how lonely it can get. :)

Special K invited several of us to post here to get this going. I'm guessing you were invited also. mlb.com would seem to be easier to find than this site.
