According to post on Wikipedia, the bugs are:

"Gnats had a major affect on the 2007 American League Division Series Game Between the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians on October 5th, 2007. During the 8th Inning when Joba Chamberlain was pitching, the playing surface at Jacobs Field became infested with thousands of Gnats. They swarmed Chamberlain as he attempted to pitch and resulted in a number of uncharacteristic wild pitches. Chamberlain had been completely dominant during the regular season, only allowing 1 Earned Run during his 24 Innings pitched."

I remember the tigers last trip to Cleveland was gnat infested!

Hi and welcome aboard!

Wikipedia ALREADY has an article going? That won't last though because it's totally irrelevant. You can tell a Yankee fan wrote that! Chamberlain only sucked because of the bugs. Yep!

Well...there shouldn't be anymore Bug problems the rest of the post season. The weather has to be warm and humid for them to come out...and we're finally starting to cool off. Our "Indian Summer" is over. =(
