THUNDER!
Well, the Cleveland Indians certainly GOT ALL OF THAT!
Eight home runs. Three home runs from catcher Victor Martinez, who is quickly turning into one of the best catchers in all of baseball. I doubt that Miguel Olivo will possess the same power as Martinez, but who knows what will happen.
Hell, all that I know right now about this Mariner ballclub that it is about f***ing time for the youth movement in Seattle. Justin Leone has 2 home runs in as many days. Bucky Jacobsen, who is already a cult hero among fans, has some power as well. No, I have not been able to see his long foul ball that made everybody go nuts.
Cut Travis Blackley some slack right now. He's taking his lumps right now, but I know he's more ready to start in the big leagues than Clint Nageotte. This Cleveland offense can hit the ball, so I won't knock Blackley too much tonight.
As for Cleveland, they certainly have a shot in the A.L. Central. They're only 4.5 games back of the White Sox. If they can shore up that bullpen, they have a shot. Their offense is solid, as is their rotation (Cliff Lee, C.C. Sabathia, Jake Westbrook). The rebuilding in Cleveland is certainly going well right now. Hopefully the Mariners can take a few notes from Mark Shapiro and crew.
Lee won his 10th game of the season Friday. He's a native of Benton, Arkansas and went to school at Arkansas. This guy was in the Bartolo Colon deal two years ago. Lee certainly had a case for the A.L. All-Star team, although he would have been the 6th Indian on the squad.
Well, there's only one word to sum up the events at Safeco Field and in Arkansas tonight...
THUNDERSTRUCK!
The Mariners were thunderstruck, as well as most of central Arkansas.
THUNDER!
