A perfect October Thursday

That’s about how I feel this morning (minus the slight hangover since watching the Tribe beat up on the Yanks meant I had to have some beers). How much fun was that!?!?! I really have nothing else to say on the game. It was that good that it can stand alone. Let’s just keep it up for tonight and the rest of October. One game doesn’t make a series but Game One in a best-of-five sure sets the series. I don’t expect the Indians to hit like that the rest of the way but for one night, I’ll say it again, how much fun was that!?!?!

C.C. didn’t look to good. He was over throwing and trying to do to much. But, he got the job done. Getting out of the first inning with only the make-believe-home-run set the tone. The Yankees had their chance to control the game and October A-Rod came through again (just like he would in the 5th too). I told my friends at the bar, “if C.C. gets out of this inning, he’ll be fine.” In the bottom of the first, I told them again, “If the Tribe takes the lead, C.C. will not give it up.” I’m so good. Not as good as C.C. but still good.

And how about Kenny Loften getting confused and thinking it was 1995 all over again? Or how about Asdrubal Cabrera forgetting he is a rookie and he’s playing the New York Yankees in October? Or Travis Hafner remembering he is a good hitter? Or Victor Martinez doing what he has done all year? I’m so happy right now (and surprisingly still a little tipsy). I wish was going to the Jake tonight. I should be but I had to give up my ticket to cover a high school football game tonight. Stupid job. It always gets in the way.

As great as Thursday night was, let’s not get carried away. Let’s stay focused and let’s get the win tonight too. I think C.C.’s performance was good for Fausto. It showed him that October baseball is a whole different game. I think he learned a lot, knows what to do now, and will come out and pitch a solid game. Thursday night couldn’t have gone and better. Let’s hope Friday is just as good.

I think I’ll be back later for my always fabulous and accurate weekend outloook. That’s maybe. Depending how on I feel.
