Aaron Laffey had another great start for Cleveland on Sunday.  Laffey, who didn’t make the team out of Spring training, looks better than the rest of the Cleveland starters lately.  Laffey pitched into the seventh and was bailed out of a jam by Tony Sipp who struck out two to end the inning.  Sipp also was recently called up from Columbus.

Laffey has a 2.41 ERA in three starts since being called up.  He went 6 1/3 innings and scattered five hits and two earned runs.  Kerry Wood pitched the ninth for his fourth save in four chances.

Jhonny Peralta broke his 0-22 skid with a single in the eighth.  Asdrubal Cabrera’s walk in the first was the teams first base on balls since Wednesday.

Ryan Garko had a two run single in the third to give The Tribe a 4-0 lead.

Cleveland opens a three-game set with Boston, fresh off of a sweep of The New York Yankees.  First game is tonight at 7:05.    Tim Wakefield, off to a good start, faces off aginst Cliff Lee.

The Indians dropped to 6-12 after another poor hitting display.  Kevin Slowey improved to 3-0 for Minnesota.  Carl Pavano took the loss (0-3) for Cleveland.  Feast or famine continues…

One thing I was happy about was that Eric Wedge finally showed some anger.  Wedge criticized the approach of the team and said that the team better figure out what is wrong quick because he is refusing to sit around and watch much more of this.  Bravo Eric, long overdue!

Carl Pavano went five innings giving up 11 hits.  Pavano threw something when he got in the dugout.  Whatever it was, he probably missed whatever he was aiming at.  But… Bravo Carl for caring and showing us that this is bothering you.

Look for a fired up Indains team over the next week, starting tomorrow.  I have been screaming about a lack of emotion all season and I finally saw some tonight.  These little things put the team on edge just enough to play mad.  The Indians have to start playing that way.

Grady Sizemore hit an eighth-inning three-run homer to vault Cleveland over visiting Kansas City.  Sizemore’s sixth homer this season broke open a 2-2 tie and Kerry Wood shut the door on Kansas City in the ninth to earn his third save.  Jensen Lewis evened his record at 2-2 for Cleveland in relief of Anthony Reyes who had another quality start for The Tribe.

The stat in this game that bothered me was that there were only 12,852 fans in attendance.  That is 26% of the capacity at Progressive Field.  It wasn’t freezing cold or raining, so that number was disturbing to me.

Cleveland starts a three-game series with The Minnesota Twins tomorrow night.  The Twins are in the same boat as Cleveland right now, struggling to find consistency.

The win against The Royals gives Cleveland their first series win this season.
