Kipnis' 3-run HR lifts IndiansMay 18, 2013 - By Wire Reports
Kipnis hit a three-run homer with two outs in the 10th inning off Lucas Luetge to lead the Cleveland Indians to a 6-3 win over the Seattle Mariners. The home run was the seventh of the season for Kipnis. The first five came in the first inning before he homered in the eighth in Wednesday's win over Philadelphia. His walkoff shot Friday came on an 0-1 pitch and capped a two-out rally that began with a walk and an infield hit. "This was outstanding," said Kipnis, who was mobbed by his teammates at home plate. "This was one of the more fun nights I've had on a baseball field." The Indians have won 15 of 19 and are 10-2 at Progressive Field since April 30. Vinnie Pestano (1-0), activated from the disabled list before the game, worked around a one-out walk in the 10th. The game drew a crowd of 34,282, a total boosted by a postgame fireworks show and a $1 hot dog promotion. The Indians are last in the majors in attendance despite being 18-7 since April 20. The biggest crowd of the season since the home opener was not lost on Cleveland's players. "That was awesome," Kipnis said. "I was just as amped up as they were rounding f Read More |

The Cleveland Sports FanMay 15, 2013 - By Nick Broulis
There are just some cities in this country that you don't see as sports cities. Then you have us.....Cleveland. Its what we pride ourselves on and its one of the main reasons people travel to Cleveland, they may be an up rooted Cleveland sports fan or their in town and want to catch a game. As a Cleveland sports fan in recent years, we've had our fair share of disappointment but have had great times to. Sadly though our only celebration of a championship has come once which was in 2003 for the Buckeyes and no disrespect to Ohio state but we are starving for a professional title. We all remember how close we came to winning the World Series in 97' with the Tribe and I can remember how heart breaking that felt. Imagine how great that would have felt to win that title in 1997. Oh so close! How about the cavaliers in the Lebron era? Though we only went to the finals in 2007 and were swept at that, how many years did we feel as though this was our year? Its unfortunate how Lebron handled the situation and Read More |
