Indians Confidential

So I am sitting at the Cavs beating of the Pistons Saturday and I get a text message from a friend: “Indians just scored 14 runs.” What? I thought, didn’t the game just start?! And that was the beauty of it.

There’s nothing better in the world than the beating of the pompous, too good for everyone else, let’s spend as much money as possible and still suck Yankees. And in two of the first three games of the new Yankee Stadium, that’s exactly what happened.

Saturday the Tribe slammed New York every which way but loose with a 22-4 win. “It was just one of those games for the entire team,” said Mark DeRosa, who went 4-for-7 and tied a career high with six RBIs. “Just a lot of guys getting good swings.”

The WHOLE team got good swings it seemed like, and it’s a shame you can’t bank some of these runs for today, or tomorrow, or next week for that matter.

DeRosa and Shin Soo-Choo hit three-run homers, Travis Hafner, Grady Sizemore and Victor Martinez had solo shots for the Indians, who made it a laugher before some idiot Yankee fans could even get in their seats. It was also the 500th win for Eric Wedge, and couldn’t have been any better.

Fausto Carmona got the win to go to 1-2, and went 6 innings allowing four hits, six hits, and two homers. It seems like in three games the new Yankee Stadium is surely going to be a place where some home run records are broken.

So today the team has a shot at now 4-8 to come home on a high note. They have quickly won three of four, and today with a win can take 3 of 4 from the Yankees. How sweet that would be,
