  Gotta hope Buck isn't hurt. He was really starting to hit.

  Giants have taken a 3-1 lead on the Kitties in the top of the 9th...still have the bases loaded with 2 outs

  grodt: ya beat me to it! Good job!

  Cleveland owns this series this year.

  Giants hung on to beat the Tigers 4-3.

  Good to see some offense. Masterson gets his first win since April.
• Midstate01

  

  Wanna find your offense?? Play the reds!!
• dazedconfused

  

  red sox, rangers, cardinals, yankees, white sox, rockies, giants, phillies, braves, nationals...
  
  
  that list is for riders, just in case he wants to root for a winner tonight since the indians' opposition lost

  He roots for all of baseball except for the Tribe because they play by a lake.
  
  The Pirates haven't had a winning season in 17 years, yet he's not going to waste a season watching the Tribe... lol

  SF is killing the AL Central, the Tribe is killing the Reds. I don't expect a sweep, but hopefully the tribe can pick up another game on the Tigers.. A 1.5 game lead would look much better going into the NYY series.

  The Ohio Cup (NO ONE GIVES A SHIT) comes back to Cleveland!

  Didn't get to watch or post, but a good win. Gotta feel good for Masterson after going 2 months without a win.
• royal_k

  

  Will today be the day Fausto gets back on track? He looked better his last start.
• like_that

  

  I was at the game last night. It was nice to be at a game where the Tribe showed some offense. I can't believe i witness a Strikemore hr in person. I am now 4-1 at GABP. Now time for Carmona to throw away game 2.

  What? I had already cleared a spot on my mantle.

  It's amazing that even with how much of a disaster the last month was, Tribe are in first place (albeit 1/2 game). The hot start and big lead they got off to were huge.
• royal_k

  

  Kearns is starting for Buck. I can't find an injury update.

  This. I'd rather see Kipnis or another young guy out there instead of "The Paycheck Collector" until Choo returns. With the pitcher and Kearns batting in this series it's like the Tribe is sending 7 men to the plate. Hell, I'll even take a pitcher's (hitting) production over Kearns.
• royal_k

  

  A couple of our pitchers have hit the ball MUCH better than he has this season.
• hoops23

  

  Yeah, our pitcher have at least made contact.
• hoops23

  

  Carmona already playing with fire in the 2nd inning.
• hoops23

  

  Guarantee Bailey gets a RBI here.
