  Another game I didn't get to see....another win. One game back of the Kitties.
  
  Go Tribe!

  Helluva road trip!

  Let's make it even better!

  Must win situation.

  This game is key for Masterson. He needs to get his confidence back. And foot wedge I hate to agreeing with you but Gomez is going to be very good this year. Could be a very good 1-3 with Masterson, Jimenez, and Gomez

  Yaeh...agreeing with me is like pulling a testicle around here I guess.

  And in other news, former Indian prospect Drew Pomeranz, who really has no legitimate chance of making it in the majors, gave up 2 hits, 3 walks, 6 K's in 5 plus innings yesterday.
  
  I'm pretty sure he'll be out of baseball soon. I read it in a blog the other day.

  What do you do with Kipnis when Drubs comes back. IMO, he has to be at the top/middle of the line-up. Not at 7 or 8 where hes been.

  Choo has been a bit hit or miss to start out. Not terrible, but not stellar either. I'd slide him down to Kipnis' old spot and move Druby to the 3 hole.

  What about drubs into the lead off spot and putting Brantley down to 7,8, or 9

  Thats my initial thought as well. But Choo at 6 even just seems too low lol.

  I also thought of that, but is Druby any good leading off? Id almost think Kipnis might be better leading off, since he takes a lot more pitches than Druby.

  I just noticed we got a little behind on the OC winning tradition:
  
  For the Seattle series:
  
  
  
  For the Oakland series so far:

  Id say kipnis would be a more ideal leadoff candidate than droobs

  I did hear one about the old redneck idiot who argued against math. Oh wait, that was you.

  Now there is an interesting lineup. I like Hannahan up in the order...but a lot of regulars are out.

  Wedge ain't no redneck....maybe a neo-hippie...definitely NOT a redneck.

  Well the only people who argue against math are intellectually limited or a redneck, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.

  I thought so too but Kipnis gets on base less than both Asdrubal and Brantley. I don't think Brantley is an ideal lead off man at all, but he's better than Kipnis. I'd move Kip back down to 7 after Duncan when Asdrubal comes back.
• IggyPride00

  

  It is amazing the type of urgency playing for a contract creates.
  
  Hafner has played like dog shit for about 4-5 years now, but since he's in the last year of his deal all the sudden he is getting timely hits, hitting for power and average. Shocking I tell you how money motivates people.
• Footwedge

  Tigers just lost...tribe can take over sole position of first with a win. I hope the lawyer around here can figger out the math on this.
  
  Will probably keep him busy till the 7th inning.
• DeadliestWarrior34

  

  Tigers lost today so a win today would tie us up with them.
