Jhonny on the spot
Peralta's three-run homer is big blow in win over Yankees
By Sheldon Ocker
Beacon Journal sportswriter
Published on Saturday, Apr 26, 2008
CLEVELAND: All the parts meshed flawlessly, like the gear box in a Porsche 911 or one of Michael Symon's impromptu concoctions on the Food Network.
Paul Byrd hung on for dear life, holding the New York Yankees' offense within manageable bounds. The Indians' on-again, off-again attack put just enough of a hurt on Andy Pettitte to forge a lead.
Then there was the bullpen.

Cleveland Indians' long balls go a long way in beating Yankees

 Chuck Crow/The Plain DealerTravis Hafner (48) and Victor Martinez (41) congratulate Jhonny Peralta after his three-run homer in the fifth inning scored them and put the Tribe ahead of the Yankees, 4-3, on Friday at Progressive Field. Franklin Gutierrez followed Peralta's blast with one of this own to put the Tribe up, 5-3.
The Indians used scare tactics to take care of the Yankees on Friday night. No need for midges, just good at-bats, especially with two outs.
They kept harassing New York starter Andy Pettitte until they solved the left-hander for good. It took them until the fifth inning, but it looked to be just a matter of time.
It came in sudden fashion as the Tribe put together four hits for four runs, all with two outs, and beat the Yankees, 6-4, in the opener of the four-game series at Progressive Field.

Cleveland Indians Insider: Jake Westbrook healing; Ben Francisco hoping
Posted by jmaxse@plaind.com April 25, 2008 20:44PM
Categories: Indians
Jake Westbrook said he knew something was wrong right away. When he threw a fastball to Minnesota's Mike Lamb last Saturday, the pain to his left ribs was immediate. He managed to finish the inning, but wound up on the 15-day disabled list with an intercostal -- muscles between the ribs -- strain.
It was another bump in the road for Westbrook, who last season missed seven weeks with a left oblique strain.
"I actually did more [in the off-season] to prevent stuff like this," said Westbrook (1-2, 2.73 ERA). "I threw a fastball inside. I left one over the middle for [Justin] Morneau and I didn't want to do that again."

Cleveland Indians' Cliff Lee's '07 misery driving his '08 mastery
Posted by dmanoloff@plaind.com April 25, 2008 20:41PM
Categories: Indians
With each pitch this season, Cliff Lee has made the image in the rearview mirror appear that much smaller.
"I've got a little extra motivation given the way I pitched last year," he said. "I almost feel like I've got to prove myself again. That's how bad last year was."
The Kansas City Royals were the latest team to feel the heat of Lee's angst. The left-hander threw a three-hitter for a 2-0 victory Thursday night at Kauffman Stadium. It gave the Indians a doubleheader and three-game-series sweep.
Lee's first career shutout expanded by nine innings one of the finest season commencements for a pitcher in any era. He is 4-0 with a 0.28 ERA in four starts covering 31-2/3 innings. He has allowed 11 hits and one earned run, walked two and struck out 29.

I think you will be posting quite  a bit is this thread if that is the way your posts have on the Indians player's performance. I think CC pitches today and Sowers tomorrow with Laffey going on Monday. I would rather see Laffey pitch tomo
Ooops  , my bad, Sowers pitching today and CC tomorrow.
I would like to add that I like RB as our closer. When Joe gets off the disabled list send him packing. At least, Raffy can strike out some hitters unlike Joe. I will admit that Raffy gives up an occasional home run but that is okay at least he doesn't give up numerous hits like Joe. I can live with this occasional homerun pitch.rrow and then pray for rain.
