  So he goes from Judas to Jimmy Boy? Twisted fan?

  Forgot the Pavano trade haven't you. Cost Detroit the division title.

  There's a couple players that could help. But their contracts are outrageously bad.

  "Jimmy Boy" wasn't meant in a positive light. Can't stand Thome. He's in my top 5 most disliked Cleveland sports figures.

  8/16 lineup vs CWS: Brantley LF, Choo RF, Cabrera SS, Hafner DH, Santana 1B, Fukudome CF, Donald 2B, Chisenhall 3B, Marson C, Jimenez P
  
  Brantley back in the line-up, Kipnis still out. Can this team ever get everyone healthy? I can't remember the last time they played what you would consider starters at each position.

  Probably 1999

  Now that Benedict Thome has his 600, he can pile them up as much as he wants against our division foes as far as I'm concerned.

  Hoping for Ubaldo to be lights out tonight. Verlander going for the Tigers vs Blackburn. Tigers big time favorites in that game.
• Laley23

  

  Tigers will win. We picked up a game without playing, so that helps. But we need Ubaldo tonight so as not to give that free game right back. Plus, we need to win game one so the Sox dont think they are in this thing. Set the tone early.

  I think it is awesome that I am actually nervous for a baseball game. Love the fact that we have something to talk about baseball wise.
• wes_mantooth

  

  Defense garbage to put them in a hole. And I don't want to hear anyone claim floyd is that good....pitches are down the damn middle of the plate and they aren't swinging.
• wes_mantooth

  

  Also, ubalto is a decent number 3 starter, but he is not an ace....not in the american league anyhow. friendly contract makes this ok....unless the two prospects we gave up turn out to be studs.
• royal_k

  

  Jimenez has no command. His location is terrible. He's missed Marson's target by the width of the plate on several pitches. On a night we needed him to be good, he hasn't been.
• Laley23

  

  Ubaldo is gonna be great or not great. At least thats the case through 3 starts.

  That's the problem. You don't trade your top 2 pitching prospects for a number 3 pitcher. He was brought in to be a top of the rotation guy. He hasn't showed it in 2 of the 3 times he's pitched.
• wes_mantooth

  

  Great outing under pressure and great defense to give him a chance to settle in. sometimes, this team just looks disinterested. Gavin floyd is garbage...plain and simple. What happens when buehrle gets a shot at this shitty offense?

  He will give more good starts than Fausto. And when he is on, he wont lose it like Fausto. But I see where your going.

  Cabrera just got fucked...MLB umpires are the fucking worst...should be bases loaded 1 out...fucking umpires
• royal_k

  

  Lance Diaz is one of the worst HP umpires in baseball. That was ball 4.

  Pretty much....although it is so terrible this year, it is hard to distinguish
• royal_k

  

  That shitty call just cost us a run.
