  old news but he can't hit lefties anyways so it doesn't really matter.
• BR1986FB

  Read a piece where the author said it seems like Acta has them (unlike Wedge) positioned to get off to a faster start. We'll see....

  Glad I have the time to watch the game today.
  
  Let's Go Tribe
• Big Red Monster

  On paper, Chicago is looking like they are going to have a big year with the additions they have made.
  
  I am looking forward to seeing what Juan Pierre can do and what Beckham will bring to the table in his first full season.
  
  Projected Starting Lineups for both teams.
  
  Chicago
  
  1 - Juan Pierre
  2 - Gordon Beckham
  3 - Carlos Quentin
  4 - Paul Konerko
  5 - Mark Kotsay
  6 - Alex Rios
  7 - AJ Pierzynski
  8 - Mark Teahen
  9 - Alexi Ramirez
  
  Cleveland
  
  1 - Asdrubal Cabrera
  2 - Grady Sizemore
  3 - Shin Soo Choo
  4 - Travis Hafner
  5 - Jhonny Peralta
  6 - Matt LaPorta
  7 - Mark Grudzielanek
  8 - Lou Marson
  9 - Michael Brantley

  Don't like the 3 lefties in a row (2-5) in the Tribe's order. That's not good going against a tuff Lefty.
• tigerfan82

  AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH.......................another Opening Day.........Life is good!!!!!!! Go Tribe!!!!
• Laley23

  

  Sucks that Valbuena is out. He crushed the ball in ChiTown last year (mostly Cubs though)
  
  I also dont like the 3 lefties....BUT if Acta is true to a line-up and doesnt shift them around all the time (minues days off etc) I like it. Id rather a set line-up regardless than a line-up that tried to mix and match based on the pitcher.
• miller45452003

  ^^^Yeah I agree. What the hell is a regular lineup? How many did Wedgie use last year, 140????
• burt07

  CC's.........................................ASSEMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  He's on "holiday" at his Swiss chalet with his wife and two "yutes."
• ts1227

  

  Indians go 1-2-3 in the 1st.
  
  Quentin gets a 2 out double and Konerko jacked one into the RF bullpen to make it 2-0 Sox, bottom 1st.
  
  Welcome to 2010!

  Anywhere to watch this online?

  This sure isnt a fun start.
• royal_k

  

  Hafner with the first Tribe hit of the season.
• royal_k

  

  No patience from Peralta or LaPorta.

  You may not want to. Westbrook is gonna get shelled. Absolutely NO movement on his offspeed pitches and a fastball being clocked at 88-90. Yikes! And this is our "ace"??
• miller45452003

  Cabrera with 2 nice defensive plays already
• Mr Pat

  Two really good plays from Cleveland's short stop so far.
• royal_k

  

  Nice throw Lou.
• miller45452003

  Kinda odd we have a catcher that can throw guys at second on a steal attempt!!!
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Gonna be another long year with this pitching staff..
