That doesn't happen too often from what I see.






Let's see how he does tonight.


Should be fun.

He pitched very well, another W. Gives up a ton of home runs but when you don't walk anyone have to string hits together. It's been painful watching these Rocky broadcasters. For having 15 to 20 hall of famers minimum on their team you'd think they'd be better than .500 this year. I guess all these talking heads are massive homers for their home team now. Must be in their contracts. I knew tulowitzski was good but I never knew he was better than a Honus Wagner/Ozzie Smith combo but I know that now. They said the Indians would go 0-9 in NL parks because hafner can't play. Maybe they are right.

Pestano and Sipp are very, very nasty. C perez kept Seth Smith in the park tonight...barely. It's a W for America's team and the Tiggers finally won so they stay in first place longer than I thought two weeks ago.

Boy, must be fun listening to talking doorknobs.


And may they go Tribe 9-0.

Typical NL jealousy.....thanks for another fine report,HC.

they were truly shocked they didn't sweep America's team. The Tribe is good at home other than that Texas series. I'd be overjoyed to take 2 of 3 in any road series. These guys were furious. They couldn't believe the luck of the Tribe tonight.

That hanging slider by Perez last night is the only earned run given up by the pen in the last 29 innings.

!!




It's that thin air still in their bloodstream....makes them see things that are not there.

[clyde]

No play 'um today.



But here's what I think happens:

Exhausto is unsalvageable.Huff will replace him.They will throw Exhausto away.The hitting at 3rd and first isn't going to get better.Minor mircales to replace those two.


The 1st and 3rd base coaches will be fired.


The Indians will finish at 88-74...one game behind Detroit.









Thanks so much.

[horseofcourse]

Oh my God. I leave home for a few days to go fight grizzly bears, and I see the Indian pitching staff gave up 4 earned runs in a 3 game series and went 0-3. Dahla is the worst hitting coach ever. The even wasted exhausto's only good start of the month. Choo now has a decapitated thumb but even a very bad 2011 Choo is much, much better than an increased portion of Urns. The disaster is complete, June 26th was the official last day in first place.

Alan is dead, as you know.


But I would like to comment.

Dahla is really the worst GM ever...and she has to be.You can tell Prez Shapiro's replacement is a mere puppet; and you know she plays that part well.



If I ever go blind .... and according to my catechism class nuns, I must be close...but at least I'm not alone------anyhow... Dahla would refuse to be my eyes.

[horseofcourse]

A win. That's a miracle. 5 runs in one single game. Oh my goodness, home runs by multiple Cabrera's and some guy named Lonnie is now playing 3rd base. Dopey will have 100 errors if he continues at his current pace. 1 run in 4 innings is actually a very bad game by the bullpen. They survived it. Talbots pitched 4 no hit innings after the 1st. Dahla as the GM would make more sense. Alomar Jr is 1st base coach, firing him would cause fan uprisings amongst the 13,000 at the stadium.

!!


LC is one of the minor miracles who will save the Tribe's ass this year.

What Dahla is saving hers for----is anyones guess.

[horseofcourse]

Dopey and the Chiz.

I'm not holding my breath for miracles from those two. I've read LC can only hit right handed pitchers, which I guess is an improvement from most of our batters who can't hit any pitchers at all. But they've finally decided Hannahan can't hit the .230 he needed to hit to justify his gold glove defense playing every day. Shame the guy is a .200 hitter, he can really pick it at 3rd.

[clyde]

OOOOOOOOOO



God knows what this team wants to be.

Keep the Dahla stuff going....she only responds to adulation so that stuff keeps her away.




Which is good.

[horseofcourse]

Well, 2 doubles and a single in 6 at bats against right handers is an improvement I must say.

[horseofcourse]

Evidently tomlin is our best hitter too. He pitches strikes and hits strikes. who knew?

[horseofcourse]

America's DH is gonna have to pinch hit for Sizemore tonight instead of the pitcher. It is truly sad seeing Grady become an absolute zero as a ball player before he even turns 30. He can now do nothing well on the field. Sad.

[horseofcourse]

Manny screwed that one up...he used his bullpen backward using R perez as his number 1 lefty and Sipp number 2. It's been reversed all year, they were discombobulated.

[clyde]

Swell comments.


Everything is going wrong....Sandy Alomar is biding his time.

[horseofcourse]

Oh my God clyde, here's the 4-5-6-7-8 hitters for the Tribe today....

.225
.213
.194
.233
.214

This is a team that is 1 game out of first place. Urns batted in the 1st with two men on....he struck out of course!! Carrasco got his run, he's gonna have to go 8 shutout at least I think.

[clyde]

This is shameful.I realize the steroid era is over,but maybe these guys should give that some thought.The possibilities of Urns on the boost by the end of the year:


BA.... .248

HRs..... 11

RBIs..... 46




It isn't worth it....hopeless.

[clyde]

Hey goat hold it!!




They're playing now??

[clyde]

Oh my God.



They have 4 runs and it's not even a whole game.

I'm not looking anymore or I'll curse them.
