OUr good luck charm Frank Herrmann is gonna close it out tonight!! That's how good we were!

Tigers in deep doo doo. What is that now, 15 straight losses in Cleveland? I can't imagine that will change even with ol' #35 on the bump tomorrow night.

There's no one better at protecting a 7 run lead.

This division changes fast...plenty of time for this to be a stretched out version of last night.



Bet first place is decided in the last game of the year..most likely you , us and/or Chicago.

Please don't let it be Chicago. At least the OH-rioles did their part last night.

This is true and why I think the Indians are always the most likely Cleveland team to win a championship. You don't have to even be good to win this division and then you just have to get hot or lucky in post season. The Twins stink in post season, but the Indians, Tigers and White Sox have all advanced to World Series' from this division. The Indians went over a full month between series wins and are still only 2 games back. It's unfathomable they are still in it.

I think it's possible to win this division by losing the last 8 games.

Exhausto pitched a really nice game. They got some pansy runs in the 1st and 2nd but he was lights out after that and went 7. We actually scored 3 off Verlander but he's been nasty...big boy hits by Santana and Cabrera, their center fielder made a catch to rob Santana, could have tied it. Oh well, still have a shot in the 8th if bullpen holds together.

ssssssssso close

I'm so confused clyde on this Masterson thing. Tomlin pitched Sunday. Today is Friday. Couldn't he pitch today on his normal rest? Then you maybe pitch Masterson Saturday on at least 3 days rest?? Then Huff on Sunday?

It's not like Tomlin stinks. He's pitched well this year, plus you now have Carmona and Masterson back to back who throw similarly...hard throwing sinkersballers, you could have had Tomlin in between them who throws completely different. They're playing well again. They went 5-5 against 3 first place teams, and the strength of the team again became the strength of the team against Tiggers. 15 shutout by the pen. If pen pitched like that on the road trip they go 5-2 or 6-1 instead of 3-4 with 4 walk off losses.

They're 6-1 against the non-Verlander Tiggers...
0-2 against the Verlander Tiggers!! (one guy makes the Tiggers seem like two different teams!)

You win the "i know my tribe the best" prize. A Tom Veryzer bobblehead. People talk about the curse of Colavito and that Tiger trade for Harvey Kuehn, but it was the Charlie Spikes to Detroit for Tom Veryzer trade with the Tigers that is a curse you never hear about...they haven't won a championship since trading Spikes either.

I thought today was to determine Ohio State's sanctions, if there were to be any imposed on top of the self punishing idiocy.


Now I read it will take 6-8 more weeks to find out....AND supposedly the ncaa is off on another investigation of Ohio State.I don't know if that 2nd one is official because I see where evpn is reporting that deal...and they seem to have their own personal vendetta against Ohio.What a mess lots of money creates.
