  I'll take my shot since Laley's luck ran out.

  Indians with the 4 game sweep. Stubbs > Choose and Kipnis > Phillips. Combined score of 18-12.

  Time to get back on track. Roll Tribe.

  Lets go Tribe. I look for it to be a 2-2- split with both holding home

  With Perez on the DL, it will be interesting to see who steps in to his role. All of the late inning guys have had their problems lately. I would like to see Allen get a shot.

  Francona just said Pestano is the closer while Perez is on the DL

  He's nowhere near ready to close, unless he somehow gets his velocity back.

  Pestano sounds like a good magician.

  Hopefully we get some decent cross-talk between Reds' and Indians' fans. For the first time in a long while, both teams would be playoff-bound if the postseason started today.
  
  As for these games, IMO, the pitching match-ups are hugely advantageous to the Reds except for Wednesday.
  
  Some Reds tidbits:
  
  Shin Soo Choo is 1 for his last 24. Watch him go for 8+ hits in this series.
  The Reds are 25-6 against teams under .500, 6-13 against teams over .500.

  I didn't want to jinx us earlier, but I can now officially say I hate the term 'Roll Tribe'. That being said, GO TRIBE!!!!!

  Not sure what to expect from this series....tribe has beaten up good pitchers and struggled against unknowns. The injuries keep mounting....but the loss of Perez is no big deal imo
• Crimson streak

  

  Tomorrows match up will be a good one with latos and z-Mac. Lets go tribe!
• BRF

  

  Roll, er...Go Tribe!

  Wow. Giambi didn't even really get ahold of that one. Still probably 435.

  Bomb but no way 435. Frazier hit the boat and it 445.

  They just said 462. It was pretty high up the wall.

  Lol I was gonna say so they'll say 500. But no way thats 462. But irrelevant because it was a bomb.
• Azubuike24

  

  It was more to the right of CF. Definitely deeper than straight away center. Definitely a bomb.
• GOONx19

  

  Yeah, I agree. I think it's 405 to dead center so I just added 30 for good measure. Who cares, we'll take it. Let's get this win now.
• Azubuike24

  

  It's also measured for trajectory. It definitely can't go 462 feet, literally, without hitting something.

  Yea like I said BOMB.
• Glory Days

  

  why did they pitch to Votto? walk the bases loaded and have force outs and a double play all around. but yeah, lets have our worst pitcher throw to their best hitter....
• vball10set

  First of all, there's a reason that Hagadone was in AAA, and secondly, Santana's playing himself out of the starting catcher spot. Not only is he not hitting, but his lack of focus behind the plate is not good...at all.

  and the wheels are falling off. its going to be a long week, when is their next off day?
