This year the Rays -- they dropped the Devil from their name after last season -- lead the AL East with 66 victories. It's as many wins as they had all last year, but they still can't beat the Indians.
David Dellucci hit a tiebreaking two-run homer and Cliff Lee won his 15th game in the Tribe's 5-2 victory over Tampa on Monday night at Tropicana Field. The Indians are 5-0 against Tampa this season and 60-26 overall.
"I have no idea why we've done so well against them," shortstop Jhonny Peralta said. "When we play the game against them, good things happen."
David Dellucci hit a tiebreaking two-run homer and Cliff Lee won his 15th game in the Tribe's 5-2 victory over Tampa on Monday night at Tropicana Field. The Indians are 5-0 against Tampa this season and 60-26 overall.
Lee (15-2, 2.57) is 6-2 against the Rays in his career. He's 2-0 this season, but he had to work Monday night.
"They're not in first place by accident," Lee said. "They put me to the test. They do a lot of things right offensively."
When Akinori Iwamura sent a two-run, two-out single through the middle in the fourth inning to tie the score, 2-2, it came on Lee's 74th pitch. Seventy-four pitches in fewer than four innings is never good for a pitcher, but Dellucci arrived with help.
He hit a long two-run homer off Matt Garza (9-7, 3.70) for a 4-2 lead with two out in the fifth. It was Dellucci's 10th homer of the season, second in three games and the 100th of his career.
"David swung the bat well tonight and the last couple of nights," manager Eric Wedge said.
Dellucci's homer and a seven-pitch sixth allowed Lee to reach and finish the seventh.
"If I don't have that quick sixth inning, I might have only gone 5 2/3 innings," said Lee, who threw 115 pitches. "That allowed me to get through the seventh."
As quick as the sixth went, the seventh took an eternity. Once again, Lee needed help.
After Iwamura and B.J. Upton singled to start the seventh, Lee faced the heart of the lineup. He retired Carlos Pena on a pop to short and Evan Longoria on a fly ball to right. Then Dioner Navarro sent a grounder toward right field. Second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera, moving quickly to his left, made a diving stop and throw to first for the final out.
"Dellucci's homer and Cabrera's play at second were the two big plays of the game," Lee said.
Peralta, who will never be mistaken for Rickey Henderson, used his feet to set up an insurance run in the eighth. Wedge, with two out and Peralta on first after a walk, gave him the green light to steal. Peralta stole second and continued to third on Navarro's throwing error.
Kelly Shoppach, with a half-swing single through the middle, delivered him for a 5-2 lead.
Then Rafael Perez played old-school closer with a two-inning save. He threw 15 pitches, 12 for strikes.
"He was so efficient in the eighth, that I sent him out for the ninth with the lefties coming up," Wedge said.
Perez retired lefties Gabe Gross and Iwamura for the first two outs before retiring Upton on a grounder to second. It was his second save.
Peralta, when asked about his speed, smiled and said, "I already have three steals this year. Who knows how many I can get?"
Shoppach, with 15 RBI in his last 12 games, gave the Indians a 1-0 lead when he doubled home Peralta in the second. Cabrera made it 2-0 with a leadoff homer in the third. It was his third homer of the season and second since being recalled from Class AAA Buffalo on July 18.
Lee allowed two runs on eight hits. He struck out two and walked two.
It was quite a departure from his last start when he couldn't hold an 8-1 lead, allowing six runs on 10 hits in five innings against Detroit.
"My goal tonight was to stay out of the middle of the plate," Lee said.
Said Wedge, "He was his old self tonight."
The loss broke a five-game winning streak for the Rays. The Indians won for just the fifth time in their past 11 games.

Russian State Duma gives final approval to law banning 'homosexual propaganda'
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
434-0?! They should move Russian to the Middle East, cause I don't think it qualifies for a European country at all…
Russia, not Russian. :|
Or south of the Mediterranean…
RUSSIANS, yes, exactly! Because 80 percents of Russians support this law and wanna criminal penalty for gay and lesbians. Majority of Russians are deserving children of their country.
Putin's government has successfully used public opinion along with strong support by the Russian Orthodox Church, to put this law on the books. Eastern Orthodoxy is heavily implicated in directing hate-filled attacks against LGBTs in several countries where it is the principal religion (Georgia, Ukraine, Serbia, Greece). In Greece, there has been a recent round-up of LGBTs in Thessaloniki, ahead of Gay Pride, scheduled for June 14, and on the heels of Metropolitan Antimos description of Thessaloniki Pride as an "unholy and unnatural event", urging its cancellation. Police (who are reported to be infiltrated by members of Golden Dawn) have been
conducting arrests of LGBTs (particularly Transgendered) in Thessaloniki in advance of the parade and festival.
Human beings are stupid.
Yet another country turning into a theocratic backward dump.
Wonder how much BBC news coverage this story will get? Probably a lot less than the time devoted to the announcement of Putin's divorce a couple of days ago.
Time to suspend them from the Council of Europe, like Greece was under the colonels. They have now broken so many fundamental tenants of human rights, not just LGBT, although that is fundamental enough, that to be allowed a place in the Council and on the Court is a stain on European Human Rights.
We should be campaigning for a boycott of the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014 too.
I agree we should be turning our intention to the Winter Olympics, perhaps pointing out to the Olympic Committee that holding the event in homophobic Russia does not really send out vibes that they are trying to address the issue of homophobia in sport.
At one time, I wanted to go to Russia.
I can't believe how foolish I once was.
I think, Europe is powerless against this. Even Lithuania, an member of the EU, have such piece of law since 2010, just under different (changing under pressure from Brussels) name.
I wonder if part of the problem is that the EU knows about this, but so long as it's not blatant violation of policy… They don't care enough about it to go to lengths.
What a sad, time-warped, dictatorship-in-the-guise-of-a-democracy Russia has become. So much of what we hear from there reminds me of what we had to endure in Thatcher's Britain. Oh well; respect for human rights never was a communist strong point …. no change here then.
Boycott The Winter Olympics not just
for LGBT people but for Circassians too.
Republic of Adgye was Circassian land before Russian conquest which expelled nearly 3/4 of Circassians into Turkey,Bosnia and the Middle East.Sochi is a Circassian city.It seems like violating human rights is common to the Russian government,first Circassians,then Jews now LGBT people.How sad
Excellent idea, Chris. And let's not forget that the Russian Orthodox Church is just as anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim and racist as it is homophobic and transphobic. Putinism is no better than Stalinism in terms of human rights and civil liberties.
Compared to Putin, Erdogan doesn't seem so bad.
In many ways I feel ashamed of sharing the first name with Vladimir Putin. My comfort must be that I've been open and honest about my sexuality since 1960. Putin !, I am proud of that. Whereas you should be ashamed, restricting humanity in your own country. I hate this decision in the Duma.
Bravo Russia. Protect your families and children.
And how does this protect anyone, nimrod?
-maybe they should protect them from you…
Are there any Russian goods and services that we should therefore boycott as a result of this legislation? I realise that it'll be difficult for EU countries given its petrochemical bounty and that oil pipeline, but still, something needs to be done.
Indeed, Craig. I suggest that the first thing that could be done would be for a campaign to get the UK broadcast regulator OFCOM to rescind the broadcasting license for the Kremlin's propaganda station "Russia Today/RT", which transmits on digital platforms including Freeview. The station, like its predecessor Radio Moscow during the Cold War, is a one-sided, shrill mouthpiece for extremism, including anti-Jewish and homophobic conspiracy theories. OFCOM has already moved against Iran's Press-TV channel in the UK. Now is the time for it to switch off another peddler of lies and deceit.
Unfortunately, Putin is the least of the problems. Russians dreamt of this law long time ago and even if it wasn't adopted, it was fully in force. So besides the fact that homophia becomes official and approved by the law, don't expect much of a change. This is what you get in a country ruled by the cult of force and vodka. Give Russia some 10–20 years to sober up.
It will take far longer than that. Their national character hasn't changed since the days of Tolstoy. The chances of it changing now are minuscule.
Russia proves itself still 30 years behind the rest of the world. The fall of Communism hasn't changed a thing. They're still a nation with a master/peasant mentatlity.
I'm from Russia and I will tell you that Russia is becoming a fascist country.
It's already happened Sergei. All the signs have been there for a while. Get your loved ones out as soon as you can.
Why you are compering russian politics with fasiscts?
Russian communism are much worse than italian fascisms. And always was.
And russian politics are simply communists as always was.
In the Soviet Union was:
"In USSR there is no sex!"
Today is:
"In Russian Federation there is no (not traditional) sex!"
It is a great progress for crazy communist countries )))
How does anything pass 436-0 except in a totalitarian state?
So according to this law, gay children are not allowed to talk about their lives, hopes and dreams with others. Their lives are now endangered as a result of the politicians and religious leaders in Russia. Accordingly said politicians and religious leaders should be deemed guilty of genocide against LGBTA children and punished accordingly. Also, any treaties with Russia should now be considered null and void by the global LGBTA community with respects to Russia, along with any diplomatic immunity whatsoever.
The people have spoken out for morals. Hopefully the deviants willl abide by the law of the land just as they expect B&B owners to do over here.
If morality includes prejudice and hatred then yes the Russian people have spoken out for morality.
You have a very odd idea of morality.
At 436-0?
Your head on straight, mate?
I doubt if you or that corrupt government that rigged elections know anything about morality,you half-wit neanderthal.
Russia treats its gay population like it treated its Jewish population exactly one hundred years' ago. Small difference – it's just that the scapegoats change.
A person cannot control their nationality. They can control immoral urges. Immoral urges are bestiality, incest, sc'@t, paedophilia and homosexuality., and many more.
They want now to take away our children….
Elena Mizulina,the author of unconstitutional and anti-scientific law "Prohibition of non-traditional sexual relationships among minors", speaks:
"There are children who are raised by same-sex couples and a legal amendment to our "Prohibition of non-traditional sexual relationships among minors" is being considered so as to make it possible for social services to take these children away on the grounds of being exposed to same-sex cohabitation."
Fascism is HERE.
It's just like being back in Thatcher's Britain of the 1980's …….

Rapper-actor Ja Rule is working on a "microwave cookbook" inspired by his time spent behind bars in Central New York. Rule, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, said he gained 30 pounds while serving two years for illegal gun possession at the Mid-State Correctional Facility in Marcy, N.Y. "[The food] is not too good but you get packages and stuff like that. You can eat pretty good. You can eat decent enough," the 37-year-old hip-hop star told TMZ. "I ate everything. In jail, they're pretty crafty. We made lasagna, we made cheesecakes, we had lots of things. I really didn't eat prison food." Rule, who currently stars in the religious-themed movie "I'm in Love with a Church Girl," revealed on SiriusXM's "Food Talk" Wednesday that he plans to release a book of recipes that will all be "microwavable."

Ljubljana wins European Green Capital Award for 2016
Image © Anelim
Ljubljana was commended for raising environmental awareness amongst its citizens. The jury also recognised its sustainability strategy 'Vision 2025', which brings together plans covering environmental protection, mobility, energy and electric transport. In addition, Ljubljana has made significant progress in implementing green procurement policies covering 70 % of all city purchases.
Transportation in Ljubljana has changed dramatically over the past decade. From a city which was rapidly becoming dominated by the car, the focus has now shifted to eco-friendly alternatives. In 2013, Ljubljana modified the traffic flow within the city to limit motorised traffic and give priority to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport. Cycling is also increasing. By 2020 the city intends that public transport, non-motorised traffic and private vehicles should each account for a third of all transport.
Twelve cities applied to become European Green Capital 2016. Each entry was assessed by an international panel of 12 experts and five cities were shortlisted – Essen, Ljubljana, Nijmegen, Oslo and Umeå. The jury interviewed city representatives at the European Environment Agency (EEA) yesterday. All the finalists provided real-life examples of how respect for the environment, excellent quality of life and economic growth can all be successfully combined.
The European Green Capital Award is given to a European city that has a record of achieving high environmental standards, is committed to ambitious goals for future environmental improvement and sustainable development and can act as a model to inspire other cities.

While crew set up the stage for his "Jai Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour" at the Pontiac Silverdome, the stage collapsed under the weight of the show's lighting, causing him to reschedule his shows in Detroit and Toronto.
According to the Detroit Free Press, 10 people were hurt on June 19, the day of the Detroit show, but no one sustained serious injuries.
Rahman was supposed to take his multimedia show featuring India-inspired music, dance and acrobatics to Toronto before starting the European leg of the tour. He had already performed in New York, New Jersey and Chicago when he go to Detroit.
He has rescheduled the Detroit show for Sept. 25 and the Toronto show for Sept. 26 before moving on to finish his world tour on the west coast of the U.S.
According to the L.A. Times, the accident destroyed part of the stage as well as equipment specially designed for the tour that needed to be replaced.
Rahman detailed the incident on Twitter and Facebook, stating on June 19, "I am really grateful to the Almighty for saving us from disaster."
Later he posted, "We are working to recoup all that has been lost (the lights, the sets) which will take us over three weeks to complete. The vision for the show includes beautiful choreography and circus acts and it feels less than, not to include them."
The show received positive reviews from its first three dates, including from the Chicago Tribune, which singled out the stage specifically, calling it "a marvel, capable of transforming from a peaceful river setting to a gated prison by adjusting a few movable pieces."

FAYETTEVILLE, NY -- The normally staid Fayetteville Village Court was packed with television cameras, photographers and reporters tonight as the guitarist and singer for the quirky Canadian band Barenaked Ladies had a felony drug charge reduced and then put on the path for dismissal.
On July 11, Steven Page, 38, of Toronto, was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree, a felony, after town of Manlius police said they saw the singer through a window using cocaine at a kitchen table of a Fayetteville residence.
Page walked into the courtroom at 5:30 p.m. holding the hand of girlfriend Christine Benedicto, 28, of Fayetteville, who lived in the Fayetteville home and was arrested in the same July incident.
Camera shutters clicked and followed Page as he walked into the courtroom and sat in the back.
Benedicto's roommate Stephanie M. Ford, 26, was arrested with Page in the home.
The cases of Page, Benedicto and Ford were called first. Other people with business before the court had entered the room and did double takes when they saw the 11 television cameras, about six still photographers and assorted reporters, including several from Canada. See the photo gallery.
Ford was called first before Village Justice Thomas J. Miller and had her felony drug charge reduced to a misdemeanor as part of a deal with the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office. Then the case was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal. A charge of unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation, was dismissed.
Benedicto, Page's girlfriend, was called next and her original misdemeanor drug charge was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal. Her marijuana violation was dismissed.
Page was called last, and he too had his felony charge of criminal possession of a controlled substance reduced to a misdemeanor. The misdemeanor was then adjourned in contemplation of dismissal.
Miller warned Page that he had to comply with the conditions of his adjournment for six months and the case will be dismissed. If he didn't, Miller said, "you may well come back before me."
Page's attorney Mark Mahoney told reporters the decision was made because of the clean records of the three charged and because chemical analysis of the suspected drugs showed "low quantity and low quality."
Mahoney said he wouldn't go into details when questioned about how the amount of cocaine Page had in his possession could be considered a low quantity.
According to court papers, Page was in possession of more than a quarter ounce of cocaine when he was arrested.
Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said that the lab analysis revealed that the amount of cocaine was below the threshold weight for a felony. He said police did nothing wrong but there were things weighed beyond the weight of the actual drug.
"This was a misdemeanor from the get-go, according to the lab," Fitzpatrick said.
Fitzpatrick called the adjournment in contemplation of dismissal "a routine disposition of a case."
Page is to undergo drug testing during the six-month period and he is to undergo therapy. Fitzpatrick said Page has admitted he has a problem and has already begun therapy.
"He's done everything we've asked him to," Fitzpatrick said.
There was no special consideration for Page because of his celebrity, Fitzpatrick said. Fitzpatrick said he didn't know anything about the band until someone sang its song "If I Had a $1,000,000," which was used in commercials for the New York State Lottery.
Fayetteville police patrolling the village at 2:04 a.m. July 11 saw Benedicto's car, with a door open, parked across the sidewalk outside 311 E. Genesee St. The car was registered to that address, police said, and officers approached the house.
Police were able to see Page and Ford at the kitchen table with a white capsule that later tested positive for cocaine, Manlius police said.
Benedicto was not at the home at the time the police were there but was charged later in the day after a police search of her home.
Page was arrested after the Barenaked Ladies released "Snacktime," an album of children's songs.
After Page's arrest, the Barenaked Ladies canceled an appearance at a Long Island children's music festival organized by Disney.
Page is able to enter the United States with his working papers on a parole status, Page's lawyer said. After the six months, the dismissal of the case will eliminate the need for parole status, Mahoney said.

Southern University at New Orleans Chancellor Victor Ukpolo will field questions Wednesday at 11 a.m. from students, faculty and staff members about the proposed merger with the University of New Orleans.
This meeting, sponsored by the Student Government Association, will be held in the gymnasium in the Health and Physical Education Building on the main SUNO campus.
Billed as a town-hall meeting, the session will mark the first time that Ukpolo will address the issue publicly since Gov. Bobby Jindal proposed merging the two universities Jan. 18.
SUNO is a predominantly black university, and most of UNO's students are white. They are about a mile apart on the southern shore of Lake Pontchartrain.
In proposing the merger, Jindal asked the Board of Regents to study the issue and submit a report by March 1.
UNO is part of the LSU System, and SUNO is in the Southern University System. Jindal has suggested the combined entity would be part of the University of Louisiana System, which he used to lead.
Combining the campuses would require a two-thirds vote from each house of the Legislature.
A 2006 report by the board recommended against combining the state-run campuses, saying their missions are different.
SUNO was founded in 1956, and it held its first classes in 1959.

BEACHWOOD, N.J. (AP) A large family that lives at the shore and suffered losses during Superstorm Sandy will share a $20 million lottery jackpot that one of the 17 siblings said will be a great pick-me-up.
Members of the Endreson family packed the Beachwood Community Center on Thursday for a news conference. A lottery spokeswoman said the siblings range in age from 53 to 76. The New Jersey Pick-6 prize will also be shared with three children of a brother who died a few years ago.
Another sibling described how their late mother started playing the lottery regularly years ago and would always say that all her children would get a piece of the winnings.
Faith Schiabor told how she got the news from one of her sisters who had bought the winning ticket.
Her sister Sigrid told reporters that she bought the tickets and then forgot about them for about two weeks before going down to a supermarket to check them. When one came back with the message, see cashier, she ran it through again before taking it up to the window and getting the good news.
I started to cry, she said. I called my sister to come get me. I didnt think I was going to make it. I said, I think I won the lottery.
The family decided to take a lump-sum payment of $14 million, which is worth about $10 million after taxes.
Its going to help the family, its going to help Ocean County, Schiabor said. Its just a great pick-me-up for all of us.
Big family hit by Sandy to share lottery winnings

Bill and Catherine Herring retire from credit union careers like their famous mother, Louise McCarren-Herring.
For some, the credit union movement is all in the family.
The Ohio Credit Union League and the World Council of Credit Unions have committed to helping a small Romanian group take on the task of modernizing that country's credit union system.
Groups hope to modernize country's regulations for credit unions to help shake off vestiges of Soviet rule, align with European Union standards.

The change could affect more than 11,000 users from Shelby, St. Clair, Blount and Walker counties, said Pat Ryan, director of the Jefferson County Library Cooperative. It will not affect Hoover residents who live in Shelby County or Leeds or Trussville residents who live in St. ClairCounty.
The new fee, which is charged when library users renew their card, quietly went into effect late last year; $15 will go directly to the JCLC, while the rest goes to the local library. It was one of many changes the cooperative made afterthe Jefferson County Commission slashed its funding by more than 50 percent.
"It really hurts," said Ryan, who said the cooperative just felt like there was no other option.
The commission used to give a little more than $1 million a year to the cooperative -- the bulk of its budget -- but this year that figure dropped to $500,000. The cooperative's 40 libraries, which range from Birmingham's 20-branch system to the library at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, are autonomous and receive local funding for their budgets.
The cooperative runs mostly behind-the-scenes staff support, from maintaining the central computer catalog the libraries share to offering training to delivering books to shutins. Some of those services will be cut, too. They're also trying to hold on to several public databases the cooperative runs, including the popular genealogy database Heritage Quest and the business database ReferenceUSA.But Ryan said the cooperative will keep the most expensive item operating as usual: the book-ordering service, which allows patrons to have an item from any library delivered to the one most convenient to them.
The cooperative has also started to solicit cash donations for the first time, and so far has raised $8,000, Ryan said. That's more than the $3,500 it has collected so far from its share of the out-of-county fees.
Some out-of-county users are deciding just to stop using the cooperative, including Marsha Blackwell, who lives in Springville but works in downtown Birmingham. For years, she has depended on being able to find books she wants somewhere in the Jefferson County system and have them delivered to the BPL's main branch. But with her husband's constructioncompany in a lull, she said, they don't have room in their budget for another $50 a year. "We are looking for ways to cut back on costs, and even though that's something I use a lot, I just don't know," she said. "That's a huge burden on me and a lot of other people that I've spoken to."
Ryan said she has received a number of letters and calls from patrons -- some tear-filled -- protesting the fees. In fact, she said, library usage usually goes up dramatically during a recession as people can't afford to buy books or music or rent DVDs. At the same time, the libraries struggle to meet their needs because local funding slips.
The cooperative once had a $35 fee for out-ofcounty residents, but began waiving it about 15 years ago for those who live outside of Jefferson County but can prove they pay the county's occupational tax.
Even though $50 is a lot, Ryan said, she said library officials believe the delivery service is worth closer to $85 a year in terms of convenience and benefits.
"If you buy three books, you're going to spend $50," she said.

Seriously marriage its just a piece of paper
- 298 Replies
To me its more then a paper, its a union made under God. If it means nothing to you, then absolutely don't do it. The devorce rate is high enough!
I think you've mistaken a marriage for a marriage license.
Some people are happy just living together. Some enjoy the ritual of a wedding and more formal contract of a marriage. Not sure why this would bother anyone...
A legally recognized marriage offers a lot of benefits that non marriage does not.
It's cheaper to be married. You get tax breaks.
It's like living together extreme couponing.
and that piece of paper usually has seriously spelled correctly on it
I was happy to live together. Then I upped my standards.

ALLEN PARK -- Eric Ebron's hands are a bit of a mystery.
The Detroit Lions rookie tight end has shown a propensity for making difficult one-handed grabs across the middle of the field, and in the same game, letting a perfectly placed throw ricochet off his fingertips.
Ebron will tell you he dropped just four passes during his junior season in 2013. Although a subjective statistic, his number doesn't mesh with the 11.43 percent drop rate (eight drops) calculated by RotoWorld after studying the tight end's film.
Regardless, the consensus opinion is Ebron made significant strides in the area from the previous season.
"It's a work in progress," Ebron said. "Not everybody catches every pass. Jerry Rice never caught every pass. It's just something that you've got to work on consistently. I progressed. I went from having a lot of drops my sophomore year to very, very, little drops my junior year. It's just a continuous work in progress."
Lions coach Jim Caldwell, who preaches the importance of not beating yourself, isn't concerned about the rookie's reputation for putting catchable balls on the turf. The coach also likes the way Ebron responds when he does make a mistake.
"I think what you've seen from him in that area is that he's very, very competitive," Caldwell said. "There might have been a situation where he's dropped one and he'll come back and catch three and score on a couple as well. He's a guy that works. I think the little issues that he's had will clean themselves up and coach (tight end coach Ron) Prince is looking forward to working with him."
In Ebron's top performance last season --an eight-catch, 199-yard effort against Miami --you see his best and worst in one game.
In the first quarter, he makes a short catch over the middle, breaks a tackle and takes it 71 yards to the house.
In the second quarter, he has an opportunity to add a second score, but allows the well-placed throw to deflect off his hands.
Ebron responds well to the blunder in the next quarter, making a twisting, one-handed snag deep down the middle of the field.
This is what Ebron brings to the table. You get spectacular athleticism, big plays and a dash of concentration-related drops. It's a package not uncommon among many of the top players at his position.
