F-A-U-S-T-O!!!!!!!!!

by Mick 08' on Oct 6, 2007 7:57 AM EDT

In a game where the much ballyhooed Yankees offense was meant to make it's precense felt, young Fausto Carmona baffled Yanks hitters before a rompous, jovial, sell out crowd at Jacobs Field.

As reported yesterday on this wonderful "baseball" blog, when on, Carmona is virtually unhittible. Yesterday, my fellow fans, Fausto was on man! The 96 MPH sinking, winding, diving fastball-sinker had the entire Yanks line up leaving Jacobs Field with that pit one feels in their stomach when somethings gone bad.

Every team in MLB hopes to win the World Series. When Arizona won they had the two best pitchers in MLB at the time in Schilling/Johnson. This dual led the 'Backs to a title. This season we may be witnessing deja vu. To be Cy Young Award winner C.C. Sabathia, and the best young pitcher on the planet, Fausto Carmona, seem to be the equivilent to the Johnson/Schilling tandem.

It may be premature, however, we're witnessing a hot, peaking team, with SP & RP to shut down the best team in MLB and all others.

I won't rasmble on, we all know what happened.

Feel free to e-mail me for more Indians insight.

All bandwagon fans are welcome! RJ's aboard with his new headress and warpaint and finally has that feeling of playoff baseball. Something that we will never experience under the rotton ownership of Greedy Stuey Sternberg and his do-boyz from kosher NY.

Just look at these numbers:
Jeter - 1 for 7

ARod - 0 for 6

But why stop there?

Posada - 0 for 7

Matsui - 0 for 7

Damon - 1 for 9

Cano - 1 for 7

Cabrera - 1 for 8

Mientkiewicz - 0 for 4

Abreu leading the team with a ringing 2 for 6.

TWO WORDS:

CY YOUNG

Diary. That's what they're for. OT or baseball related information so the reader can take part in the blog.

Tyler is absolutely right

Mick is entitled to his opinion and the ability to express that opinion. You are entitled to your right to ignore him as well, which for the most part I have done with his ridiculous opinions.

Rotton?

Long live the Bugs of Lake Erie!!!! Maybe the Pride of the Cuyahoga can add the Bugs as a logo on their sleeve.

As I said, the key to last night was Fausto handling the bugs and Joba couldn't. You would think a team of multimillionaires would handle such a unique situation like that, but they broke!!

I respect Cleveland, but I will never truly like them. I was at the Sat. game where Paul Byrd pitched and his classic old-school windup. I can't see RJ beating his drums and singing Chief Wahoo's praises, pigs will fly before RJ allies himself with the Pride of the Cuyahoga. (Although Chief Wahoo and Todd Kalas may be distant cousins:):))

Bugged.

Last I checked, Joba is one of those homegrown, minimum salary types of which you all are so fond. So the multimillionaires cracking might not be all it's cracked up to be. Why he was more bugged, who knows.

It did seem to peak in intensity during his 8th inning stint - perhaps the Yanks should have at least requested a delay, not unprecedented in this situation in Cleveland. Water under the bridge though.

Re: Bugged.

In retrospect, perhaps Torre should have requested/petitioned for a delay. How the Boss went about it in the papers saying that Froemming will never ump one of their games again was wrong. I am sure the sweat also really drew those bugs in on him. Fortunately those were biting bugs or even mosquitoes as that would have caused a bigger problem.

I never recall seeing gnats/bugs totally swarm and cause such an infestation. It was funny to watch, but a player could have been hurt. There is no doubt Joba's wildness was attributed to the bugs. That sequence in that 8th and 9th innings changed the complexion of the ALDS. You are correct, its water under the bridge.

George is right

Froemming won't ump one of their games again. He announced that he was retiring after this season months ago.

kosher, NY?

You stay classy there, Mick.

Re: F-A-U-S-T-O!!!!!!!!!

The Indians can beat the Yankees, I'm all for that. But for the World Series, I'm all for the Rox. They're giving a full share to Mike Coolbaugh's widow. Now there's a cause to play for.

I didn't hear about that

But I definitely just found a team to root for. Class move by the Rocks.

Re: F-A-U-S-T-O!!!!!!!!!

I agree. That may be the classiest thing I have ever seen. What made it even better is the fact that the players came up with the idea themselves and vote on it. No one asked them to do it, it is not a PR move, it is class guys doing the right thing. We need more stories like this in baseball.
