We drove to Cleveland this morning to see the Yankees play the Indians today (Saturday) and tomorrow (Sunday). We saw a good game, except for the fact that the Yankees lost 4 - 3 on a Victor Martinez walk-off single in the ninth. The Yankees have issues this year ... not enough clutch hitting and a very shaky middle relief. Oh well, maybe next year (unless something dramatic happens in a trade).

We saw Sunday's game. Much better (for the Yankees). They won 1 - 0 on Melky Cabrera's homerun and Chien-Ming Wang's pitching. Here's a link to the box score:

My general impression of Progressive Field (AKA The Jake) ... it's a very nice stadium. Good aesthetics. Great scoreboard. However, I was unimpressed with their amenities. Not enough bathrooms; long lines at the concession stands.
I was very unimpressed with their Hot Dogs! I gave it a "2". Very ordinary dog. We had one with grilled onions (little flavor) and one with sauerkraut (they charged $1.25 extra for it) and it came pre-packaged (so I had to put it on) and the kraut was cold. I did give them one extra point for having their own stadium mustard which was pretty good, but not great. Follow-up: Day 2 hot dog was better, but not enough to move it up the ranking! Nancy did, however, really enjoy her Leinenkugel Draft (The Pride of Chippewa Falls) ... yummy
