Westbrook grabs distinction as ‘Wild Thing’

By throwing four wild pitches Monday, Jake Westbrook tied a Indians franchise record that had been done three times before.

Sam McDowell was the first to do it, in 1961. He did it again three years later, and Steve Hargan heaved four wild pitches in 1965.

GIVING THANKS — Nothing wrong with starting the season by being thankful.

”I’m thankful I’m alive and for everything I have,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. ”I’m lucky to have the chance to win or lose a major-league game. I could be managing in an independent league.”

IT’S BEEN A WHILE — This is the 70th anniversary of the only Opening Day no-hitter in history.

Bob Feller achieved the feat on April 16, 1940, against the Chicago White Sox. Feller, now 91, attended Monday’s game and will be honored at a lunch today in downtown Chicago. Feller’s sister, Marguerite, who lives in metro Chicago and watched her borther’s no-hitter, also will be at today’s lunch.

Cleveland’s Choo proves to have 20-20 vision

Choo Shin-soo of the Cleveland Indians reached the 20-20 mark (20 homers, 20 steals) in his second to last regular season game yesterday. Although 11 other batters achieved the feat this year, Choo became the first Asian in MLB history to do so.

Facing the Boston Red Sox at the Fenway Park in Boston, Choo hit a two-run home run in the top of the seventh inning. Trailing 10-4 and with Asdrubal Cabrera on first and no outs, Choo took an outside fastball from Paul Byrd and hit it over the “Green Monster.”

The right fielder had hit his 19th home run of the season five days earlier on Sept. 29 against the Chicago White Sox. Choo has 21 stolen bases in the season. The 27-year-old has now reached the 20-20 mark in his first full season with the Indians. He earned two hits in four at-bats to raise his season batting average to .300 and three RBI raises his season total to 86 for the season. He currently leads the team in RBI.

The Busan native signed a one year extension during the offseason and is expected to sign an extension with the Indians after the season.

Indians fire manager Eric Wedge

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians fired manager Eric Wedge in the final days of a terrible season.

Wedge guided the Indians to one playoff appearance in seven seasons, and this year the club fell out of contention early and is currently one game out of last place in the AL Central.

The Indians, who are 64-92, have scheduled a Wednesday afternoon news conference at Progressive Field to announce Wedge’s dismissal.

Cleveland recently lost 11 straight games and have dropped 20 of its last 25 games.

Wedge will finish out the season as manager, including Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox. Cleveland’s coaching staff has also been informed it will not be retained, but some of the staff could be rehired by the Indians’ next manager.

The Indians are expected to begin interviews for a new manager in the weeks ahead.

Two years ago, Cleveland was one win away from a World Series trip. The Indians fell to 81-81 in 2008, but were expected to bounce back and contend this season. However, a slow start snowballed and by midseason the club traded defending Cy Young winner Cliff Lee and All-Star catcher Victor Martinez to begin rebuilding again.

Owners Larry and Paul Dolan and general manager Mark Shapiro have spent the past several weeks reviewing Cleveland’s organization, including the manager and initially said they would wait until after the season before making a decision on Wedge. However, they decided not to delay what many Indians players felt was inevitable.

Sizemore’s second surgery goes well

Grady Sizemore went 2-for-2 in the surgery stat line.


Sizemore underwent successful surgery on Wednesday morning to reinforce an unstable abdominal wall on his lower left side. The condition, known as an athletic pubalgia, was corrected by Dr. Bill Meyers in Philadelphia. Head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff accompanied Sizemore on the trip to Philly and reported that all went well during the 20-minute procedure, which required a small incision in the region.

So that’s two successful surgeries in the span of a week for Sizemore, who had arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow on Sept. 9.

Prospect Knapp scheduled for surgery

Less than two months after the Indians made him a key acquisition in the trade that sent reigning Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee to the Phillies, Jason Knapp is headed to the surgeon’s table.

Knapp, a hard-throwing, 19-year-old right-hander, will have arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder Tuesday, head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff announced Monday. The procedure will be performed by Dr. David Altchek in New York City.

The Indians knew they were receiving damaged goods, to some degree, when they acquired Knapp as part of the six-player trade in which they parted with Lee and outfielder Ben Francisco and also received right-hander Carlos Carrasco, catcher Lou Marson and infielder Jason Donald. But the fact that Knapp has loose bodies in his shoulder and needs surgery was information the club was not privy to on July 29.

Wedge meets with players to refocus

Clubs that have been out of contention since June aren’t usually called together for team meetings in mid-September.


But Tribe manager Eric Wedge, who is not exactly leading the league in job security these days, felt it was important to speak with his players before Monday’s series opener with the Twins.

Until recently, Wedge’s Indians had been putting together a strong second half, playing their best baseball after of a rash of July trades that completely reshaped the roster. But the Indians entered this three-game series — a series that continues Tuesday night at the Metrodome — having lost 10 of 13 and 11 of 15. A rookie-laden roster had begun to look like, well, a rookie-laden roster.

Hafner, Crowe nearing returns

It’s a new shoulder that’s giving Travis Hafner trouble these days, but the left shoulder problem doesn’t appear nearly as serious as the one involving the right.


Hafner had his ailing left shoulder examined in Cleveland by team medical director Mark Schickendantz on Monday, and, in the words of manager Eric Wedge, the exam revealed “nothing extraordinary.”

Pronk remained out of the lineup for the third straight game on Tuesday at Comerica Park, but it’s expected he’ll be back in the starting designated hitter slot on Wednesday.

Hafner to rest shoulder after season

When the offseason comes, the Indians want Travis Hafner to observe that “off” part.


That means no stress on the surgically repaired right shoulder and, specifically, no swinging a bat for a couple months. The hope is that when the 2010 season dawns, Hafner, physically speaking, will be his old self. Then, and only then, will he have any chance at being his old self, performance-wise.

Pronk will be back in the Tribe’s starting lineup Thursday night, when the Indians open a four-game set against the Orioles in Camden Yards. He had one of his now-standard days of rest Wednesday at Kauffman Stadium after starting four games straight for the first time all season.
