Wow, that's a weird looking lineup. Not used to it yet.
Pronk!
THE PRONK BOMBER
Oh, it's gunna be one of those games, huh?
Ugh.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but...that could've been a lot worse
I'm going to go out on a limb and predict Kuroda doesn't pitch a complete game.
Stewart with the steal!
Hey, just got home, but I was listening to John and Suzyn on the way, and they sounded pretty psyched about Rob. (I heard the second HR call.)
Time for double digits!
Hm. The Tribe playing like a AA team.
Double digits!
[12] Aha! You've been summoned by the decimal system!
Ripped it again. No avail, but still looking good.
Can we make ourselves a promise?
In the early going this year, before the injured return, can we not treat every win as "this team sucks, but at least for one day things went right"
In August, maybe...not in April.
Looks like we may have a winning streak.
Ruh roh.
Chris Perez having 100 saves says alot more about the stat than the player, Suzyn.
Joba in to set up a save for Mo?
That's what you want to do, for sure. Nibble at the corners, put a guy on. With a five run lead in the ninth, I mean.
Tell Mo to stay on his ass. Let's go, Meat. For Fuck's sake!
So Joba is now relegated to mop up? Sad.
On the other hand, I'm liking Travis the Half Bee.
Aaaaaand that's all she wrote.
Nice try, Joba.
Much better.
