Changes Need to be Made as Indians drop 6th
straight

post from The Tribe Time Report on 22 May 2008 10:46:00 PM. © The Tribe Time Report

We need some changes in Cleveland after the second straight sweep.

Laffey Dazzles and Loses: Aaron Laffey probably pitched one of the best games he's pitched all year.

With that said, I still think we need to send him back down.

We simply can't go with a six man rotation, it would be a great idea, but we just can't do that to the other starters.

For now, he will have to just pitch his game in Buffalo. The bullpen wouldn't be fair to him at all.

Joe Borowski is ready to come back and should be activated tomorrow, which would make the corresponding move of sending Laffey down, perfect timing.

Unfortunately Laffey was on the bad end of another loss. Only 2 earned, in which only one was given up by him. The pen screws it up again of course.

The Offense Sucks: It's time to send Asdrubal Cabrera down.

He is giving away ABs, not doing well with situational hitting at all. 2-0 fastballs are whizzing by him, hes grounding into DPs, and just striking out on bad pitches.

Just awful job at the plate. Josh Barfield isn't destroying the ball, but hes hit in like 17 of his last 19 games and really I think the call up would sort of spark him like it did Francisco.

Other than that, I'm not sure if there is much you can do right now.. Jake Westbrook is coming off next week to take Laffey's spot in the rotation. Aubrey would have to go down then. The only logical move at that point for Choo to return would to designate Andy Marte.

I'm not submitting to the fact Andy Marte isn't going to make it here. He also won't get a lick of playing time as long as Wedge's mancrush in Casey Blake is on the roster playing third.

Other than that, you can't really make many more moves, you just need to let everyone get back on track. Of course one idea is to fire Derek Shelton, which could happen if the offense continues to struggle collectively.

Two hits tonight was downright pathetic.

Tomorrow the Indians are going back home to take on the Rangers who are just not a good team. We better see some wins. Fausto Carmona and Kason Gabbard square off.

[BOXSCORE]

Video of the Girardi Ejection

post from Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog on 22 May 2008 10:43:00 PM. © Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog

video details and more

Good to see a some fire Joe, well done.

Here are some quotes from Jeter and Giambi:

?It was funny,? Jeter said. "I enjoyed it. I was hoping he would kick it all the way to the dugout like Piniella. ... Girardi wants to win. He cares a lot. Just because some people may not have seen it, I know he has that in him."

"Joe got fired up," Giambi said, "and I guess that got us fired up.

"It was good. Maybe that's the little spark that we need to get us going."
