Strong pitching! This is how we beat the Tigers.

;)

yeah but the undershirt: pretentious or neck-warmioing?

Collegiate hats >>>>>>>>>>> racist hats

won't they wear racist caps on special occasions?

I will be somewhere in RF mezz on June 27, stop by and say hi.

wow...those new unis are slick.

love them. the undershirt adds a nice color accent. i'm hoping to see them in action the weekend after next, but i'm not sure if the tickets will come through.

Hey lauren! I guess that's right, you must be an Indians fan.

i basically grew up in municipal stadium.

I would think there would be ample scalping at Indians games.

*rim-shot*

*tom-toms*

Those new unis are great and replace the vests. They will be worn on the weekends and special occasions. Chief Wahoo, sadly, still shoulders on.

hey lauren I was at the Centrum on Coventry watching the game on opening day. it's now a sports bar- the entire movie screen is divided up between three different TV stations. kinda sad but the beers were 1.75

whoa! i was wondering what would become of that place.

I watched Vertigo on that big screen about 11 years ago.

Sizemore AL MVP! Carmona Chameleon Cy Young winner!

Dr Morbius why are you in Cleveland? oh wait SABR convention

carmona not glue!

Dear Brownie:

That kid screaming TRIBE TIME in the STO*HD commercials. That also does the play-by-play. Can you tell me if I love him or hate him? I don't know. Thanks!

Joe Borowski: Still Not A Closer

This TRIBE TIME kid is killing me! He's like a young Peter Billingsley!

Also: is Casey Blake a stiff, or just a gamer (LUNCHBAG) w/ stiff-like tendencies?

Joe Borowski not only received the AL Fireman of the Year award in 2007, he considered becoming a fireman.

Borowski once considered quitting baseball and taking the test to become a fireman -- his father was a firehouse captain. For some people's liking, he's a little too comfortable with the idea of responding to the sound of wailing sirens.

o_O at Hafner go-aheader home run

No doubt! That bat-toss is karma-baiting, tho.

Plz no JoBlo.

Wow! They just blew it.

lollers

Fuck you, Joe Borowski.

Joe Borowski: Now Officially a "Crafty Veteran"

Goddamn this game pissed me off.

Seriously, fuck baseball.

Love != Fuck

Manny Ramirez wasn’t sure if Indians closer Joe Borowski threw him a fastball or a changeup.

Our closer.

Is STO some cable station? you people with your cable TV sicken me.

"I'll take a 5,000 ERA and the 45 saves," Borowski said during spring training.

Try again, Joe -- you had that last year!

That dude should choke on his Adam's Apple.

chill out guys, his era is 18.00, that means if he gives up two runs in the ninth, there's still a chance he could get the save. give the guy a break until he's over 27.00

Watching him blow the game last night was a thing of beauty.

Jesus christ this season had promise. Sure Dave R finally got something right re: Joe Blownsaveowrowski, but this?

BRING IT

I am right at least 25% of the time

BETTER AVERAGE THAN CASEY BLAKE

zuzwang

sabathia should just start trotting out from the bullpen to the sound of horns.aiff.

Good news: Sabathia has struck out the side the first two innings.

Bad news: Westbrook out with a strained back.

Casey Blake: 4-4 with six Ribbys

Another day, another sweep.

I'm still drunk from last night but I swear someone said that Paul Byrd will be our closer next year. Shit's getting real etc.

MORBS what the hell is AL VORP? Jesus Christ I can't think straight.

Value over Replacement Player

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VORP

Holy balls I don't understand!

I just want to know what the hell happened to Hafner

ha ha hahhaaha, Morbs, YOUR STATS ARE POWERLESS AGAINST HIM!

.500 in reach?

I think now's the time to go out there and make a deal for some pitching and let the pennant race begin.

Why do they do this? After the sweep of the Rays I got excited again and now this. After the weekend series against the Angels I'll be back to the Browns.

I will be at Saturday's game vs. the Angels, then I have tix for two more this season. FEEL THE EXCITEMENT.

So our staff right now is Carmona, Lee, Sowers and a bag of jock straps, right?

Most pitching staffs are 1, 2, 3 and jock straps! The problem is the offense is that the non-Grady / Peralta portion of their lineup is extra jocky! Exclamation point!

my name is Kelsey GRAMMAR

Cliff Lee.

Anybody here think that if the Indians hadn't got rid of CC/Blake they could've climbed back into the pennant race? Wishful thinking? No bullpen no cry?

lol holy balls

i love this damn thread brownie

Don't cry, little sister.

Jhonny Peralta just homered off of Joel Peralta.

Cliff Lee wins again. 18-2! Look for the Indians to sneak into wildcard contention.

I think at this point Perhalta is a bigger threat to hit home run than Pronk.

me=genius

Shoppach with 3 three run homer on the Rangers pathetic bullpen!

a three run homer ;)

7-7

only need to go 19-14 for .500.

Sizemore has just joined the 30/30 club.

Make that 31/30 club.

Indians can take third place with a win tonight! It's nice have a reason to listen to the radio broadcasts during the summer.

On their way!

TEN

THIRD PLACE

ROAD SWEEP. Now they come home for a three game series against the woeful Mariners.

13?

Prospectus playoff odds for Tribe have risen to 0.2%.

Weren't the 07 Mets odds at 99.8% at this time last year?

Just sayin....

but we all know the 07 Mets are a once-an-epoch outlier.

LOOKING FWD TO OUR LITTLE TALK SAT NITE

(if youre actually here)

13?

With that lunkhead Sowers on the hill, I'd say the streak ends tonight.

Sowers vs King Felix

Tribe isn't playing tonight Snrub! Get it together !

Tribe days off should be designated "Hafner Arm Strength Days".

I'm celebrating HASD by making perch. Brain food for the pennant run my friend.

I hate it when I'm right.

I can't take the shot; someone else do it.

TWENTY

And what better way to get there than with a complete game shutout. Amazing.

Not sure what the point has been in citing his record and/or ERA during the last x amount of games (several wins in a row! 2.21 in his last 23 innings!). Um... he has won 20 of his last 22 and his ERA for the season is 2.32... it's not like he's on a roll "of late."

damn, it's good tonic after a Mariner sweep.

If CC wins the Cy Young (outside chance) and Lee wins the Cy Young (good chance) I wonder if that's the first time two cy award winners have played for the same team in the same season?

must be.

I'm edging toward Joe Sheehan's position that Lee is the AL's best player this year, ie MVP.

THIRTY (<---- for Grady, belated)

And Martinez gets his first homer of the season!

is CC really a long shot??

Pronk was not included in the September call-ups. He'll stay down in A-AA!!!
