  Filed under: Cleveland, New York, Yankees, Indians, MLB PlayoffsThe Yankees turn to Andy Pettitte this afternoon to try and even up their series with the Cleveland Indians. It's a familiar sight and a big reason why they brought him back to the Bronx. During Pettitte's first stint in pinstripes he started 12 playoff Game Twos, going 6-3, and eight

  If the yankees were willing to pay roger clemens a prorated $28,000,000 for 6 wins and 99 innings of subpar pitching… then why not pay ARod $30,000,000 a season? $30,000,000 gets the Yanks great stats from May-September and absolutely nothing in October… unless of course, he is up to bat in a meaningless situation (like [...]

  The WordIndians outfielder Kenny Lofton appeared as a guest on ESPN's First Take Wednesday morning. One of the questions host Jay Crawford asked Lofton dealt with Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James.

  and then got the ageless Kenny Lofton to fly out. Schilling ended the inning by inducing a 6-4-3 double play of his own off the bat of Franklin Gutierrez. The Red Sox went in order in the bottom of the 2nd and Schilling set down the Indians in order in the top of the 3rd. Carmona ran into a little bit of trouble in the Sox half of the 3rd as

  and Cleveland, left fielder Kenny Lofton caught a mid-range routine fly ball and noticed Mannny Ramirez mimicking a tag at third. Lofton seemed very annoyed Manny would entertain such a ridiculous idea. Maybe Manny was just being Manny but Kenny simply wagged his finger and let his emotions chill until he could come through in the clutch. Manny

  the whole mess by jawing at Kenny Lofton the moment he connected on the flyball (Awful Announcing, who found this video, has footage of that, as well) so I can't really blame Lofton for taking a detour across the mound. But seriously, did umpire Gary Cederstrom really do a "tremendous job" breaking that thing up? Would a little pushing and

  point we need to include Kenny Lofton in this discussion. He's bounced around to eleven different teams throughout his major-league career, and that doesn't even take into account the fact that he's spent three different stints with Cleveland. As fate would have it, he's happened to reach the postseason eleven times. Granted, all his
