Day game on Thursday.

Robertson vs Byrd tonight.

Lets hope Robby's stint in the minors helped him.

Great ... Runners at 1st and 3rd, no outs for Cleveland in the top of the 1st.

Kiss the Sheff!

4-3 Detroit, now it's time for Cleveland to take the lead back...

Well.........a double to start it off. This is going to be a fun 3 games I suspect.

Shef was safe at the plate in my unbiased opinion.

Sheff was safe

They're just jealous because Sheff was in GQ.

I can't believe I'm actually happy to see Durbin nowadays.

Open mouth, insert foot, fuck this Indians faggot.

That really sucked.

4-4

Put in Thames in the 9th!

Lol wtf? This is the strangest half inning in a while.

It should be 5-4 easily (Sheffield).

Damn, thought Casey dropped one in.

Let's see if C-Mo can go back to not being Craig Monroe again.


...Nope.

Well it looks like our pen is going to have to survive extra innings.

Oh God... I wonder who they're bringing in now.

Could it be TJ the great?

Capellan.

He's Ks his first batter.

And K's his next.

And a pop-up for a successful Capellan debut (so far).

Sheffield will hit the walk off.

Props to Cap

And what a swat by Grandy but caught.

Let's do this, Maggs.

Winning run at 3rd!

I hate to get my hopes up but this is looking good. PP on 3rd, 1 down.

This walk will bring up Guillen with the bases juiced in order to attempt at the double play ball.

How many times has Guillen been up with the bases loaded lately? Someone get this man a granny!

Damn it, Carlos. GO PUDGE!

peniscrotcharoo

How do you hit a freaking pop up in that situation?

Damn, I like this dude Cappellan.

Fuck you, timbeau.

Regardless, we got fucked over and should have won a while ago, 5-4.

You've got to be kidding me.

Wow, do I have bad luck tonight or what?

Casey, Monroe (a sure out) and Inge coming up. Not sure I like our chances.

Fuck you, timbeau.

Regardless, we got fucked over and should have won a while ago, 5-4.


Don't blame me, if Bubbles hadn't jinxed Pudge on AIM this wouldn't have happened.

Our friggin pen. We make these small trades but we need to sacrifice some of our offense for someone GOOD for our pen.

Cap and McBride are good to have but we need a proven guy coming in late.

I know you're Casey Blake undercover. bastard used your iPhone to post right after you hit your stupid home run. shithead. eat shit, bastard.

Where is Bubs at?

Casey down. Monroe will pop up, ground out, or strike out.

Getting the shit kicked out of him by me.

and e-ray, I may be Casey Blake undercover but it beats being with George Michael under the covers.

On cue, Monroe sucks some serious dick (perhaps of George Michael). Brandon Inge...

Thanks a lot CumBubbles. Fucking prick.

Damnit, fuck, curse word, etc.

Now, even if we win the next two (not bloody likely), we'll still be back 1.

Yep, that pretty much sums up our season so far. Good, but not good enough. Missing some clutch opportunities, and the bullpen (doesn't matter who) throwing it all away.

Why exactly is Monroe still in the line-up? He's barely hitting over .200 and we have Thames and a couple of solid minor leaguers (Cleveland) that couldn't do much worse.

Like I have been saying all year, play Marcus Thames.

Saying Thames should be playing is really getting old, isn't it.

Good game, both teams played hard.

The Tigers need to sign their Declaration of Independence from Jason Grilli. And we can celebrate THAT 300 years from now.

Where is Bubs at?

He should be here more, that guy is hilarious.

I talk to him on AIM. He sure is a real riot when I kick his ass in NBA 2K7.

Props to Pudge for starting a day game after a night game, something most catchers (especially 15+ year vets) don't/won't do.

Pudge is not human.

I just went looking to wager some alpacas but couldnt' find todays game.

And maybe its a good thing I didn't find it. Martinez just went yard.

1-0 Cleveland

PP with a solo shot to tie it up.

I missed yesterdays game but sounds like the calls for Thames to play were heard. And it looks like Thames had a good game.

Another error for Guillen, and then a wild pitch gives them a run.

Fuck!

And we come back and tie it up.

Mario and Rod are saying, we're getting a real rivalry going on here. These teams don't like each other.

CG with a 3 run dinger to go ahead 5-2.

CG with a 3 run dinger to go ahead 5-2.

We have two of those CG guys, lol

Guillen, that is.

SHEF! with a 2 run shot to make it 7-2.

Enough with the homers, as I'm running out of adjectives for them.

CC is getting pummelled.

Love it.

Sideways hat wearing motherfucker

Sheff will definitely hit 500 this year.

Sideways hat wearing motherfucker

When i was a youngster you didn't caught dead wearing your hat like that. Nowadays you're cool.

JV at about 70 so far.

Hopefully Leyland starts CC in the All-Star game... Every little bit of extra fatigue helps, lol.

Today's lineups:

IP H R ER BB K HR Season ERA
C.C. Sabathia 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3.20


currently 3.58, lol

Fuck a Victor Martinez. We're going to have to get someone up in the pen soon... (shudders)

Thats it JV hurt them a lil too.

Looks like a good crowd for a day game. I was thinking most took Mon and Tues off but maybe its a Wed Thur Fri deal.

OT-I was talking to my cuz in Bay City and he worked July 4th and got triple time. Sweet!

I was just going to say what Rod said, Sizemore doesn't look comfortable in spacious COPA center. I think thats 2 that he sort of misplayed. 1 for an error. Thats a good thing for head to heads here.

This lead is starting to feel comfortable for our pen. I'd like a couple more though.

Pitch count getting up there and it's a blowout, get him out of there?

JV at 108, if JL pulls JV then give Pudge a rest too insert Rabelo. Mags has been pulled.

Damn beat me by a minute.

Neifi sighting

Neifi sighting

This is the only situation when it is acceptable.

Just keep winning series and things will be fine.

Wish we could have won that extra innings game and swept though.

I wonder if Leyland left Verlander a bit too long on purpose to provide himself with a reason to not start or pitch him much in the All Star game.

I think he was saving the pen for the Sox series. He had to go to them early last night. I'm sure he'd like to go into the break winning another series to have some momentum coming out of the break. I don't think he needs excuses to choose someone else. Haren's numbers are good enough that he's a no brainer.

And JL wanted this win. JL can say what he wants but I don't think he has a ton of confidence in the pen. That would have sucked to have blown that lead.

OT so the Bondy voting ended at 5pm EST(?) wonder if he made it.

ABOUT TIME WE BLEW THESE FUCKS OUT.
