good luck spear-it!!!

[Spearit]

Thanx very much for your kind words. More info on this matchup.

Millwood (7-11, 3.11 ERA) has pitched well despite receiving little run support in his first season with the Indians. The righthander has gone winless in his last three starts despite yielding just five earned runs in 20 innings over that stretch.

Millwood is 4-4 in 11 starts since the All-Star break.

Oakland counters with Kirk Saarloos (9-7, 4.06), who has been much more effective on the road this year. In 14 appearances, including 12 starts, on the road, the righthander is 5-3 with a 3.50 ERA.

In mentioning - a loose cannon-Saarloos struggled in his May 28 outing against the Indians, allowing four runs and 10 hits in just five innings. Its September now and he has been much more consistent especially in away games.

Indians RP Rhodes leaves team for personal matter

CLEVELAND — Indians reliever Arthur Rhodes has left the club because of a family illness and will miss the rest of Cleveland's season, a blow to baseball's best bullpen and the club's playoff chances.

"[Rhodes has] had to deal with a great deal this year," Indians manager Eric Wedge said Tuesday. "It's best for him and his family that he is with them."
By David J. Phillip, AP

"It's going to be tough without him," closer Bob Wickman said. "He has been huge for us all year. We're definitely going to miss him."

Rhodes was in his first season with the Indians, who acquired him in a trade last December with Pittsburgh for outfielder Matt Lawton. The left-hander didn't pitch because of the personal matter from Aug. 2 to Sept. 3.

"He's had to deal with a great deal this year," Indians manager Eric Wedge said before Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. "It's best for him and his family that he is with them."

Rhodes is married and has two daughters. Wickman, a father of three, said he understood Rhodes' decision.

"If I was in the same situation, my family would come first also," Wickman said. "We're all behind him."

Rhodes has helped Cleveland's bullpen become one of the majors' stingiest, one season after it was one of baseball's worst. The 35-year-old was primarily used as a setup man in the seventh and eighth innings and went 3-1 with a 2.08 ERA in 47 appearances. He was 0-for-3 in save opportunities.

Cleveland's relievers have the majors' lowest ERA (2.88).

"He was a big part of what the bullpen has accomplished this year," Wedge said. "Obviously, we'll miss him."
