Nice debut for Vinnie Pestano (IP, BB, K, 19/12 Pit/Str). I would look for him to contribute early and often next season.
& Luke Carlin struck out in his only AB. Shocking.
It almost goes without saying, but... they lost.
Cheers.

Filed under "Are you bloody kidding me?": a pristine,complete copy of the the 7th game of the 1960 World Series has been found. In Bing Crosby's basement vault. 30 years after he died. No other copy exists and the game has not been aired in it's entirety in half a century. For those of you who don't eat baseball history for breakfast, lunch and dinner, that's Mazeroski's 9th inning walk-off. Look for it after the World Series, hopefully on something other than the MLB network. NYT article here.
Also... Coming 11.26

Missing the Train
Alas, it seems as if Jared Goedert has missed his opportunity. Despite a breakout season between Akron and Columbus (27 HR, 37 2B, 83 RBI), Goedert slumped at exactly the wrong time through August. Just when the brain-trust was all but rubber-stamping his September call-up, Goedert forgot how to hit (.205, 3 HR, 32 K thru Aug/Sep). With Lonnie Chisenhall among a fresh crop of high level talent expected to arrive at the lake by July '11, Goedert will likely need a change of scenery to get his MLB opportunity. It's a shame that the Indians couldn't just pull the trigger and recall Jared after the Peralta trade. Too much double talk, too much idiocy. It wears on me as a fan and I'm sure it didn't help Goedert's focus down the stretch. Best of luck to him, he's a good kid.
Btw, the tricky, tricky Tribe has 60-day-DLed Carlos Santana and Hector Ambriz to make room on the 40-man for Pestano and Carlin. Jess Todd and David Huff exhale with relief.
Cheers.
