Three Games
A night off means one thing: A night of switching between three games. The Indians played the White Sox, The Yankees played the Orioles and Bowling Green played Boise State.
I don't know, maybe BG should stop having these middle-of-the-week games. Two years ago Ben Roethlisberger torched BG on a Tuesday night. BG was hammered by Boise State last night, and really, I don't want to write about that anymore.
-The Yankees edged Baltimore. Amazingly, B.J Surhoff is still playing.
-The Indians and Travis Hafner pulled it out. If Hafner played any other position, or perhaps, A position, he'd be an MVP candidate.
Some of the national media are already predicting a sweep over Kansas City. Let's not just assume the Royals will lay down. In 1999, when the Reds needed just one win to clinch a tie in the Wild Card and two to win it outright against the sub-.500 Brewers. Instead, Phil Garner's club pounded the Reds in the first two games. The Reds needed to claw just to take the third game and head into a playoff against the Mets, which New York won.
I assume Buddy Bell will have the Royals ready.
