Indians blank angels.

Cleveland lost 5-4 to anaheim on tuesday night and I was too busy to write a recap so here is wednesdays night game...

Jake Westbrook got into some early trouble scattering 7 hits through 3 innings but with help of superb defense behind him he managed to get out of it without any runs. Jake settled in afterwards and was flat out dealing the rest of the night baffling angels hitters and striking out 7 to record his second complete game shutout of the season. Garko, Sizemore, and Choo accounted for the indians runs.

I really like this Shin Soo Choo kid. He's continued to impress me as he has 2 home runs including a grandslam, 4 doubles, 9 rbis on 13 hits.

After his home run on his first at bat with the indians I was withholding any judgement considering it was off a former teammate. however hes batting .310 with those numbers since then so hopefully I'm not jumping the gun even now but I think this kid is going to be a star. All scouting reports seems to think the same thing.

While I dont think he has the same ceiling as Sizemore, He seems to be a 5 tool player. I think the Mariners made a mistake letting this guy go. Shapiro gets my unusual praise for this trade. Being that he's a free agent, I really hope we keep him and a spot just opened up...

Todd Hollandsworth was traded to Cincinnati for the infamous player to be named later. hollandsworth cleared waivers which shows just how worthless he was although he swung a good bat for about 2 weeks.

first browns game tonight.
