Indians@Yankees series thread..

LOL, nicksdad..I guess we each misunderstood each other. I know that Delucci was cool rounding the bases, but I thought you were implying that IF he would have celebrated it would've been wrong. Therefore I said I'd of had no problem with him celebrating a big HR like that as long as he wasn't doing it with the intention of getting under the skin of the opposing team.

Correct me if u were saying something else.....

The Yankees needed a kick in the butt.  They need to get hot fast.  The Red Sox will walk away in June and there is no way any team will come back.  The Red Sox are looking like a dynasty and they still have not hit like they did a year ago. 

Mike Mussina pitched well like he has vs the  American League Central. He throws that Knuckle Curve and has lots of command.  The hitters in Cleveland like to hit the long ball.  Travis Hafner can swing and knock the balls around the park.  When facing Mussina, you can hit home runs against him.  Mussina is all about command of his pitches.   When runners are on base, Mussina can change his pitches like going 1 with fastball and then two with the curveball.  

Chamberlain is a great setup man.  He lacks command but when he is ahead of the count he can be wild.  If he is behind the count, he is hittable.  

Cleveland's bullpen needs work they need to production from Rafael Perez and Joe Borowski if they are going to win the Central. 

 Every team in the American League Central has a good closer.  Joakim Soria with the Royals who has not given up a run.  Todd Jones with Detroit Tigers.  Joe Nathan with Minnesota.  Bobby Jenks with the White Sox.  Why did they not invest in the bullpen in the offseason.  Getting young guys to come back and pitch again is whats hurting the Indians.  They can not afford 75 games for three pitchers in their bullpen.
