I'm not buying it.

They are playing with us again.

Yeah, it's the stinking Mariners for crying out loud. I think that last road trip was the end. With a half season class A rookie pitching the two Obaldo games we go 4-2 that road trip. We're 10-10 in August with 7 one run losses (3 of them 8-7 losses in Obaldo games). It's a shame, they're not that far from being there. Yet still very far.

But wait!

Is the earthquake a harbinger of a new Tribe for the rest of the season?

Could it be they go on to play .900 baseball and then sweep the playoffs to win the whole taco?Could this be kinda/sorta be like a Field of Dreams thing?

nah

The second reign of Valbuena terror is over. I think we're going to see the return of Dopey after this McCallister spot start is over. Yea!!!! The Mariners are starting a lefty making his first appearance in the big leagues tonight. That usually spells disaster for the Tribe.

That last one has too much truth in it to be amusing.

The orient express outfield up to 8 for 11, 3 doubles, a triple and 3 home runs now for the double header. That's haulin!!! (that doesn't mean we're still not losing 5-2in the 4th!!)

clyde · #**1446** 08-23-2011, 08:00 PM

Oh boy.

How do we do it?

clyde · #**1447** 08-23-2011, 08:05 PM

r u shore that isn't Jimenot in a McAllister suit?

clyde · #**1448** 08-23-2011, 08:18 PM

We could have traded McAllister and Gomez for Jimenot...but noooOOOO.

clyde · #**1449** 08-23-2011, 08:39 PM

Herman Munster has got to go.

horseofcourse · #**1450** 08-23-2011, 10:25 PM

I'm watching some of Alex White tonight. HE looks pretty good. Doesn't appear to be overwhelmed by the mental anguish of changing teams or pitching in Coors Field.

clyde · #**1451** 08-23-2011, 10:34 PM

!

As we all know, that can have devastating effects.

clyde · #**1452** 08-23-2011, 10:39 PM

HorseyCoursey..I give up.It was very interesting in the early going,but too many injuries, a DUMB trade and just not enough offensive power to sustain.

But it has been sssso much fun!

yeah, it's done. slotdirt's crazy I think. Hafner's out for the season now. Choo is back to replace him!! The contest now is to see if they can win 80 games.

In the end WHite gave up 6 runs in 6 plus innings so it turned out not to be a good start.

Had to be Jimenot in a White suit.

Or maybe culture shock is a valid excuse.

Brantley is the next DL assignee.

Oh no....Valbuena!!

Actually White gave up 5 runs in 6 innings. I don't pay too much attention to what's going on. They had the bullpen in the 7th inning. HE had two outs in the 6th and gave up a bloop hit down the left field line and then a Jimenez pitch for a homer. A bad game but better than 3 of the 4 Jimenez starts here.

clyde · #**1457** 08-23-2011, 11:31 PM

That's a painfully sssso true statement.

Randy Moss...what could he hurt??

I don't know, every time I see Doug Glanville on ESPN, he keeps telling me that the White Sox or Indians are going to overtake the Tigers. I know he's not lying.

I think it's silly for the most part. Your offense is so much better than the other two it's not funny and you have Verlander...hands down cy young winner...in fact he's clinched it. Fister was a good pick up to solidify the rotation and Valverde gets the job done, uglyly, but it's done. I think the Tigers will have a decent shot in the post season too with Verlander pitching game 1 in the first series. You'll have way over a 50-50 shot to take a 1-0 lead.

DOPEY PHELPS!!!! Hurrayyyyyyy!!!
