April 8, 2010. Indians 5, White Sox 3 (11 innings).
Amazingly, this victory, which gave the Indians a 2-1 record and opening series victory, marked the only moment in the 2010 season when the Indians were above .500.
Here's what I said in the victory thread:
Opening series win against the White Sox – the bullpen looking respectable – LaPorta and Brantley looking like they fit in…
Yes sir, I’ll have another.
That didn't exactly work out, but perhaps I was just a season early in my optimism. Also, I'll look forward to the first multi-extrabase hit game from Grady this season.
Here's to hoping we have a few more of these moments in 2011...
