Home Run Derby

2008’s first rematch of the 2007 American League Championship Series between the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox.

Top of the ninth.  Red Sox and Indians tied 4-4.  David Ortiz on first after a bloop single.

Manny Ramirez steps to the plate and sees one pitch from Indians reliever Sweaty Joe Borowski …

And that’s five straight painful losses the Indians have given up to the Red Sox.  All that was missing was Manny admiring it for a while before trotting to first.  But he’s been burned on that a few times already this season.

Manny sure can hit the longball in Cleveland.  That was his 132nd Home Run in that ballpark … but ihis first under the name of Progressive Field.

HRD Standings are updated.

Update: Joe Borowski has landed on the DL.
