Tribe at Rays

• BRF

  

  I guess I'll just go ahead and start my 5th series thread in a row.
  
  This is a 4 game series with the first 3 starting at 7:10 and the Thursday game starting at 12:10.
  
  Time to get those bats going.
  
  McAllister on the mound for the Tribe tonight against Cobb.

  First series Ill be able to watch since before the AS Break. Hope McCallister keeps pitching well. So far, I like him.

  Choos leadoff HR was called back and into a 2B. It didn't matter cause he scored anyway, my question is...why didn't he get a 3B? Pretty clear to me he would've been in standing. Upton had to backtrack to CF to get the ball...

  Indians have 23 series left. They will probably have to win 20 of them to make the playoffs.

  Because it is a "ground rule" double. In other words, the "rule of the grounds". Pretty sure there is no such thing anywhere as a ground rule triple.
  
  Oh well, like you said, at least he scored!

  I was coming on here to say "Tampa Bay is so bad offensively". Then I looked it up, and saw that Derek Shelton is their hitting coach.
  
  Suddenly the complete lack of an offensive approach makes sense.

  Tom Hamilton is getting po'ed about how many times the catcher is going out to the mound.

  Tribe leaving runners all over the base paths. Druby Cabrera can't hit his way out of a paper bag.

  LOL. I'm glad he's in TB ruining their hitting prospects, instead of ours.

  Been watching on and off. McCalister has done a nice job. Not pounding the zone but getting guys out.
  
  6 IP 1 run 3 hits. I'll take it.
• HitsRus

  

  The team will be arrested for littering, as they continue to squander scoring opportunities.

  Hammy said Druby ha left a small village of people on the base paths.

  Acta is trying to blow this

  Scoreboard watching:
  
  White Sox lose in Boston.
  
  Tigers up 2 heading to the 9th with Papa Dick Fuck coming on to try to close out the Angels.
• Crimson streak

  

  Should have brought pestano in instead of sipp in the first place
• BRF

  

  "it takes a village to raise a man". Ha ha!
  
  Joe Smith can't pitch tonight because he exceeded his 2 innings or 3 whatever (cue Footwedge).so because of the way the game is played today we get Assgascan Rogers.
  
  Lord have mercy.
  
  Oh, another nice job by Sipp....sarcasm.
  
  Just a thought:
  
  Let Pestano finish the whole game.

  Pestano is a beast

  That slider was straight filthy in a 3-2 count to boot

  And here's my point. Why not let him start the 9th?

  He struggled last inning a bit. But I like that he came on in the 7th. Should have been in soon Jennings hit that homerun.
• Crimson streak

  

  They need to give drubs the day off tomorrow he's really struggling
• Mulva

  

  Golden sombrero for Druby. Hopefully 2nd half 2012 isn't going to be a repeat of 2nd half 2011.
• HitsRus

  

  Druby ....4K's
• ts1227

  

  This is for Asdrubal
  
  
• HitsRus

  

  no way let Pestano start the ninth....he threw 30+ pitches last inning.

  I'm trying to figure out what you meant. But I think I get it.
  
  Here comes Perez!
  
  Hang on!
