GAME THREAD: GAME THREAD: AL: NY YANKEES (0-1) at CLEVELAND (1-0)

Re: AL: NY YANKEES (0-1) at CLEVELAND (1-0)

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (shapecity)</div><div class='quotemain'></p>

ARod is going to get booed if the Yankees go home down 0-2! He's hitless and struck out 3 times today. I thought he got over this postseason meltdown, apparently not.</p>

Come on Jeter do it for us one more time!</p>

</div></p>

</p>

If anyone boos him, I will personally beat the crap out of them. Honestly, if it hadn't been for him, we'd be a 500 team.</p>

BUGS! STINKIN BUGS!</p>

</p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p>

Almost everyone was affected by the cloud, with players on both teams and the umpires trying in vain to swat them away.</p>

Chamberlain was sprayed with insect repellant when he took the mound in the eighth and fans booed as a member of the Yankees staff sprayed him down again before facing Travis Hafner.</p>

Chamberlain, who was in command when he took over in the seventh, lost control. He walked two, hit a batter and threw a pair of wild pitches -- he had only one wild pitch during the season.</p>

Chamberlain's second wild pitch let Grady Sizemore score the tying run from the third base.</p>

Shortstop Derek Jeter and second baseman Robinson Cano swatted away the bugs with their hats between pitches. Alex Rodriguez used his glove and hat.</div></p>
