I know Zach (of vitaminz.blogspot.com) is not happy the Indians aren't playing on Memorial Day. But after splitting a hard-fought series with the Twins and sweeping the Athletics, the Indians could probably use a day of hamburgers and back-yard horseshoes before embarking on a very important road trip to Minnesota and Chicago.
I should mention the Indians dodged Johan Santana in last week's four-game series against the Twins. That won't happen this week, when the Indians will have to be on the short end of a dreaded fifth-starter-vs.-staff-ace matchup Thursday. Scott Elarton draws the unenviable task of facing Santana.
On Wednesday, Cliff Lee will face Brad Radke, who the Indians have yet to beat this year.
That means Tuesday night's game is very important. C.C. Sabathia must find a way to steer the Indians to a victory over Carlos Silva.
I'd like to see the Indians playing on Memorial Day, but with another pressure-packed series against the Twins waiting in the wings, I'll let the Tribe have their mental health day in peace today.
Just keep the beer consumption to a minimum, boys. Hangovers are a bad idea right now. And no showing up at ghetto parties wearing $20,000 worth of jewelry. You hear me, C.C.?
