We're back in first place. Tigger pitching gave up 16 today after only giving up 14 yesterday. Verlander goes tomorrow so we will only be in first place for another half day, but June 30th still there!!

!!

Thank our luckies for the AL Central.

Wow, JJ Hickson got traded to Jimmer Fredette's team for an Israeli bench player. That is so exciting and also a 1st round pick only if Sacto isn't in the lottery which would seem to be impossible. Luckily they won't be playing in 2011/2012 so we won't have to witness some craziness going on there.

And just as I thought, Verlander made our return to first very short. He's not pitching tonight though!

Verlander and 4 days of rain.

It's a conditional first round pick which they get in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 or, 2016 depending on how well Sacto does. I think if they are always in the lottery we never get it or something like that and get a 2nd rounder in 2017. They are always in the lottery but if they are ever not in the lottery, we then get their 1st round pick. It's the opposite of the Baron Davis trade. They hated him so much they didn't care we got their number 1 pick.

Omri Caspri is his name I think. He is the original Israeli in the NBA. Anthony Parker was a legend in the Israeli professional league. So just as the Indians are America's and South Korea's team, the Cavs are undoubtedly Israel's team now.

Oh now those were good ones.

I think the Tribe is winning,too.

Wow, 8 runs. That is a slow pitch softball field they have in Kentucky there. Nice for Bat to get some runs finally...more than he's had all of May and June...he pitched great. Back in first place....July 1st!! 10-6 in interleague now. Exhausto and Talbots in that field scares me though.

clyde · #**1071** 07-01-2011, 11:10 PM

They have escaped a 70's like June Swoon.

You're right, though.....Reds hitters are already salivating.

AC is having an incredible year, thus ruining my prediction Brantley would prove to be their best position player.This is why I now hate him.

horseofcourse · #**1072** 07-02-2011, 08:50 PM

Exhausto takes one for the team!! Saw the final score and thought, all right Exhausto finally pitched a good one, then read he pitched two scoreless innings fell running to first base tripping over the bag and hurting his whole body, and came out of the game! 2 shutout innings is two shutout innings however and he probably knew he was about done. Nice job exhausto.

(3 run homer by your guy for all the scoring!)

clyde · #**1073** 07-02-2011, 09:17 PM

spit!!

And I didn't even know they played!!

AMERICA'S TEAM is back!

horseofcourse · #**1074** 07-02-2011, 09:22 PM

It was a fine display of the strength of the team as every member of the bullpen pitched but C Perez who will be back from grandma's funeral tommorrow. Herrmann was dominant. Durbin actually pitched well late, and Pestano struck out the side in the 9th in his fill in closer role until Perez gets back.

clyde · #**1075** 07-02-2011, 09:34 PM

Thanks for all the fill in,HC.

That Pastano guy has been amazing.

AMERICA'S SET UP MAN.

horseofcourse · #**1076** 07-03-2011, 03:59 PM

Talbots lit up badly. Oh well, it happens. Pen stellar again, kept them in it.

clyde · #**1077** 07-03-2011, 05:04 PM

fucl<age

horseofcourse · #**1078** 07-03-2011, 06:53 PM

I'm in a good mood, any time we split Exhausto and Talbot's starts, we are ahead of the game!! We have our 3 best going against the Spankees. A big CC, little CC matcup on Tuesday, I'd " almost" pay to see that one! I'd be very happy to take 2 of 3 in that series too.

clyde · #**1079** 07-03-2011, 07:05 PM

But I demand excellence...this is not acceptable.If they don't win the next 15 games, phooey on them.

Who is "Little CC ? "

Why that would be Carlos Carrasco, he weighs well under 300 pounds, thus is little as opposed to the Yankee guy who goes 350.

(you have to youtube exhausto running to first on his bunt yesterday, even without putting himself onthe DL, there is no way he could have continued to pitch in perfect health, to run that slowly that hard, is simply not physically possible. I don't think he knew he was hurt. He just told Manny he was way too tired to go on.)

I found it....he's quite an athlete....
