Losing to the Royals in late September was sub-optimal for an Indians team desperately trying to win the wildcard. They jumped to the lead with two in the second, but wouldn’t score again, and Greg Zaun would hit a two-out homer off Steve Karsay in the eighth to spell doom.
There was a Manny being Manny baseruning moment – he lead off the third with a walk, but was doubled off on Thome’s fly to left. David Segui followed with a double. Sigh.
Note that after Rey Sanchez led off the bottom of the third with a single, there was a one hour 49 minute rain delay.
Why was my handwriting so bad in 2000? I have no idea. I also was copying copies to get scoresheets – I’ve cleaned up some of the random splotches but there’s too many to whitewash.
