  I see we brought some good luck to this series.

  Palehose & Kitties lost last night. Tribe only .5 game out. Seems like when they get this close they drop one and the White Sox win to take it back to 1.5.

  I'm just trying to get to the trade deadline less than 3 games back. It would be nice to go get a rh bat and possibly wandy Rodriguez. Also a few bullpen guys. It would go a long way to help for the playoff push

  Masterson had some nasty stuff going last night. Love seeing Santana and Brantley producing.

  Oakland released Manny Ramirez yesterday. Could this be the right handed bat they need? Would rank right up there with some of the other stupid moves they have made.

  Good guys up 1-0 on a Druby homer, while Damon fails with 2 on and 2 out.
  
  AND as I type some a-hole named Alvarez just tied it up.
  
  Hargrove calling the game with Rosenhaus.
  
  I wouldn't mind seeing Manny back with the Tribe.

  Grover says that Birdie T. (probably few know who he was) once told him that if a pitcher could not field his position, he would probably not be over .500 for his career.
  Grover says he was right.
  
  
  AND I'm going to quit posting because as I type AGAIN, the Pirates have gone ahead. 2-1 in the 2nd.

  And I am NOT trying to do a "Darby"!
• Crimson streak

  

  We have a kotchman sighting 2-2
• BRF

  

  Thank God, we have another Tribe poster.
  
  I will rep you.
  
  Edit: can't do it now as I have to "spread it around".

  Man Ibaldo left that breaking ball up in the zone and it was crushed. Offense has failed on a few opportunities and Pirates are making them pay.
• Crimson streak

  

  And just like that it's 4-2 pirates
• hoops23

  

  Druby and Kipnis leadoff the 6th with singles.
• hoops23

  

  And of course Santana pops out. Swing is still looooong. Come on coaching staff smh.
• hoops23

  

  1st two reach, next two flyout. Bases juiced now for Duncan. I'm calling another pop out.
• hoops23

  

  First pitch pop out after a 4 pitch walk. Love those much.
• Crimson streak

  

  Sipp is so bad
• BRF

  

  Well that's about it.
  
  Nice talkin' to y'all for tonight.
• hoops23

  

  Seriously, if we are behind we have the worst bullpen. If we're ahead, we have one of the best. Amazing.
• HitsRus

  

  Hagadone looked promising when he first came up....but terrible lately. The Tribe has an option on Sipp...they should use it and send him down. We need some production out of the LF position....should bring up LaPorta and put him out there. How much worse could he be than what we are putting out there?

  They'll bring LaPorta up just to sit his ass on the bench. Seriously, Acta is nearly as bad as Wedge in that regard. Makes no sense; how do you expect a hitter to get any consistency if he's not getting consistent playing time?
  
  And yes, Sipp needs to be sent down. I hate seeing him struggle because he's a good dude, but he needs something worked on. After watching Santana fuck up his swing, it's obvious these coaches have no clue on how to correct any issue.
• HitsRus

  

  I wonder if Santana has some lingering concussion issues.

  it has been confirmed that he has lingering suckiness issues.
• Heretic

  

  Rubber match today. We have Brad Lincoln...so prognosis isn't that great for us at starting pitcher. At least as far as the team only giving up two runs today goes.
• Crimson streak

  

  Kipnis!!
