Josh Tomlin impresses in his Debut against Yankees, Tribe wins 4-1

Josh Tomlin made his Major League debut last night for the Indians, and he did not disappoint.  Derek Jeter picked up right where he left off and flied out to center, and Tomlin had officially retired his first major league hitter.  Maybe it was just me, but it looked like Tomlin couldn't help but smile as he worked through the 1st inning.  Swisher followed suit, and Teixeira popped up as well.  Tomlin looked impressive and cruised through the inning only throwing 9 pitches.  Pretty good start for a pitcher facing the Yankees in his first appearance. 

Shin-Soo got the Tribe's 1st hit, muscling a ball over the head of Rodriguez.  He wasted no time stealing 2nd, and then Kearns followed with a hit of his own which should have scored Choo.  Unfortunately, Gardner threw a beautiful one-hop to the catch Cervelli who did a great job blocking off the plate.  Choo was called out, but at least the Indians were showing early signs of life. 

Alex Rodriguez led off the 2nd for the Yankees, and after two whiffs he grounded out to Cabrera.  His 600th home run has eluded him in his last 21 bats and counting, and it would not come against Tomlin.  The new Tribe pitcher relies on location and his change-up, as opposed to over-powering hitters.  He did however challenge A-Rod with some fastballs throughout the game, and Alex whiffed on almost every one.  Josh Tomlin retired Cano and Granderson after that, and the rookie had a no-hitter through two innings. 

Gardner struck out to end the Yankees 3rd inning, and the mighty Pinstripes still didn't have a hit against Tomlin.  Yet again, Sabathia put the Indians batters down in order, and after 3 we still had a scoreless game. 

Jeter broke up the no-hitter getting the lead-off hitter in the 4th, but Swisher and Teixeira again would pop-up.  Trying to make something happen in the middle of A-Rod's second at-bat, Jeter was caught stealing 2nd on a great throw by Giminez and the inning ended. 

Cabrera singled to left to start the 4th and the Tribe had their first lead-off batter aboard.  Shin-Soo hit a tough pitch from Sabathia down the left field line, and all the sudden we had men on 2nd and 3rd with no outs.  On a Kearns grounder to 3rd, Rodriguez decided to come home and the throw easily beat Cabrera. 

However, Asdrubal made a heads-up play, kicking the ball out of Cervelli's glove after the tag was applied.  Cabrera was called safe, and the Tribe took an early 1-0 lead.  Shelley Duncan popped up to the 1st baseman, and the Yankees got their first out of the inning.  Jhonny Peralta hit what should have been a routine double play for the over-paid Yankees infield, but Robinson Cano pulled his foot off the bag and everyone was safe.  I'm not quite sure why manager Joe Girardi came out to argue, Cano clearly made a short-bus play by stepping off the bag before he turned the DP.  That gave LaPorta a chance with the bases loaded, and he hit a ball deep enough to serve as a sacrifice fly, scoring Choo.  Donald struck out but the 2 errors cost the Yankees both runs, and we took a 2-0 lead.

A-Rod hit another weak grounder to 1st and still couldn't hit the elusive 600th home-run of his career.  Another impressive inning by Tomlin who retired the Yankees in order for the 4th time so far.

To start the bottom of the 6th, Austin Kearns felt the need to smash a ball to deep center.  Granderson was on his horse and almost made a great catch, but after he collided with the wall, the ball was jarred loose.  Kearns made it all the way to 3rd base.  Duncan took a couple massive cuts but eventually struck out swinging.  After Peralta reached first, LaPorta finally came through and doubled, scoring Choo.  With runners on 2nd and 3rd Sabathia intentionally walked Donald to get to Giminez.  CC couldn't have thought he would walk Giminez to force another run in, but that's exactly what happened.  The Tribe took a 4-0 lead and then Crowe hit into a double play to mercifully end the inning for Sabathia. 

This whole time, Tomlin was making a solid case to be in the Indians rotation.  Through 6 innings, Tomlin had faced the minimum of 18 batters, and had only given up 1 hit to the Yankees.  Not bad for your first big-league outing.  Jeter grounded out to start the 7th and yet again proved why he is over-valued.  Swisher hit a 1-out double and then Teixeira grounded out on a nice play by Cabrera.  A-Rod was next, hoping to get the 600 Monkey off his back.  He did hit a ball pretty deep to right, but not dep enough.  The whole time I'm thinking, "Is Tomlin really shutting out the Yankees in his MLB debut?"  And , "Has CC really not lost a game since May?"  That streak was about to come to an end. 

After Tomlin gave up a lead-off double in the 8th, Manny Acta made the move to the bullpen, and Josh Tomlin walked off the mound to a standing ovation from the Cleveland crowd.  3 hits, 0 walks, simply beautiful shut-out baseball by Tomlin. 

Chris Perez came on to shut the door in the 9th, but it wouldn't come easy.  The Yankees started off the inning with back-to-back singles by Gardner and then Jeter.  Swish popped out for the 1st out, and then Teixeira did the same.  Alex Rodriguez would appropriately be the final batter, representing the tying run at the plate.  Would 600 finally come to fruition, on his 35th birthday?  Nope, groundout to Cabrera and the game is over, and Rodriguez is 0-8 in the series.  That's what you get for taking steroids.

Soo Line L1 Class $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Soo Line L1 class was a class of 282 steam locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company in 1913. Having acquired Americas first Mikado (282) type when it merged the Bismarck, Great Falls and Washburn Railway in 1904, it was eight years before the Soo Line ordered a 282 of its own. Ten locomotives were ordered from the American Locomotive Company, and built by their Schenectady, New York plant in 1913. The locomotives became the L1 class and were used for powering time freights system wide on both the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie, and Wisconsin Central. They were assisted in that role by the 1920 arrival of the 25 L2 and L20 class Mikados in 1920, but were bumped in to lesser roles with the arrival of the 21 N20 class 482 Mountains in 19261930. The 1938 delivery of four O20 class 484 Northern made little difference to the L1 class since the former were restricted to the ChicagoTwin Cities route.

Soo Line High Bridge $78.07 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Soo Line High Bridge is a steel deck arch bridge over the St. Croix River between Stillwater, Minnesota and Somerset, Wisconsin. It was designed by bridge architect C.A.P. Turner and built by the American Bridge Company. The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge was the second bridge on a Wisconsin Central Railway line that connected Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin with Minneapolis, Minnesota. The line was originally built in 1884. The crossing of the St. Croix River was difficult for the railway, since the original bridge across the river was very low and trains had to contend with a steep grade on either side of the river. This made it necessary to use helper engines and to make trains shorter. In 1909, the Wisconsin Central Railway built a higher bridge over the river. The bridge is 184 feet (56 m) above the river and 2,682 feet (817 m) long, with five steel arches towering above the river. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Soo River $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Soo River is a tributary of the Green River in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains in British Columbia, Canada, joining that river just north of the Resort Municipality of Whistler. Approximately 35km in length, its origin is on the south flank of the Pemberton Icefield and its course is generally eastward from there to the Green River valley, although upon reaching that valley it runs north for 3.5km roughly parallel to the Green before joining it. For much of its course, known as the Soo Valley, it forms a serpentine marshland until reaching a short canyon before entering the valley of the Green River. Heavily logged over the years, the valley is accessible by rough dirt road. It is a popular crosscountry skiing area in winter, partly because its middle reaches are accessible via trails from the Emerald Estates neighbourhood of Whistler. The uppermost part of the Soo Valley features various volcanic formations. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
