Weekend Pronkitude

Pronkwatch:

Friday, June 1: 0/3, 2 runs, 2 BB
Saturday, June 2: 2/4, 1 run, 1 RBI, 1BB, 2K
Sunday, June 3: 0/3, 1BB, 2K

The spirit of Pronk was very evident all weekend of Cleveland, even if Pronk himself was only using a limited portion of his mojo. The comeback win on Friday night was helped by a 9th inning Pronk free pass, and while the Indians lost the next two games, Pronk went 2 for 4 on Saturday with another walk. Sunday, well, the team, clearly fatigued, ran into the buzzsaw named Jeremy Bonderman, who is either very good or very bad against the Tribe. This time, he was very good. The Tribe gets a free day today knowing they are 2.5 games up on the Motor City Kitties.

And speaking of the Motor City, the free ranging Pronk Mojo was fully in evidence Saturday night. The Cavaliers made good use of the Pronk Mojo that was lent to them to Beat Detroit at the Q. This time, it was Daniel Gibson who made full use of the Pronk Mojo to clog up the Pistons.

With the Cavaliers putting the Pronk Mojo to good use, it is entirely possible that it may take another couple weeks to see the Full Pronk back at the ballpark. Most of Cleveland will accept that tradeoff, as long as the rest of the team keeps hitting.

Note: my wife and I were in Cleveland this last weekend at the Saturday game, and without Internet access - hence the full weeked Pronkwatch summary. Downtown Cleveland was crazy after the Cavs game.
