Autumnal

Game 156: September 22, 2008 Indians 4 W: Zach Jackson (1-3)H: Rafael Perez (25)H: Rafael Betancourt (12)S: Jensen Lewis (12) 79-77, 7 game winning streak Red Sox 3 L: Josh Beckett (12-10) 91-65, 1 game losing streak Highlights: Losing these one-run games has been a vexing aspect of this season. While the Red Sox’s losing record on the road has been commented upon, this is true for all the teams in the AL East. I think the team’s 19-23 record in one-run contests stands in stark relief to the Rays’ 28-17 mark. A few runs here and there and you have the difference between the wild card and the division title. Astronomically the calendar turned from summer to fall at 11:44 AM yesterday, making last night’s match-up the first official fall game of the season. It is this time of year, when the morning frost limns the landscape and apples ripen in the trees, that you want your team’s bats to warm up.Other signs of autumnal baseball are chowder being sold in the stands (although with New England springs, that happens in April as well) and the constant meditation on the magic number.The Indians seemed intent on ruining this...

Diné

ALCS Game 6: October 20, 2007 Indians 2 L: Fausto Carmona (0-1) ALDS: 3-1ALCS: 3-3 Red Sox 12 W: Curt Schilling (2-0) ALDS: 3-0ALCS: 3-3 Highlights: “Diné” is what people that we call the Navajo call themselves. Jacoby Ellsbury represented his people proudly with a 1-for-5 showing accompanied by a run and an RBI. Take note, Cleveland fans: this is an authentic Native American. Not Chief Wahoo, who, as Jonathan Zimmerman wrote in The Christian Science Monitor, should go the way of Sambo. The Red Sox loaded the bases in the first after Curt Schilling sat down the top of the order, one, two, three. It seemed so easy, A, B, C. Dustin Pedroia bounced the ball towards his counterpart Asdrubal Cabrera, who rounded second base, barehanded the catch, and threw across his body. Unlike cribbage matches against his manager, Pedroia beat the throw. He also motored hard to second on Kevin Youkilis’s ground ball to short, unnerving Cabrera enough that he couldn’t hold onto Jhonny Peralta’s relay. With none out, David Ortiz watched uno, dos, tres pitches from Fausto Carmona miss the zone. A generous Dana DeMuth called two strikes, the first less strikey than the second. But...
