  @twithersAP: #Indians promise to reach out in future to "last night's fans and make it right."

  5-0 so far. A 2 run homer for Giambi, as well as a base hit rbi, and a 2 run homer for Drubs. End of the 5th inning.

  That's better.

  Good Ubaldo is so much more fun to watch then bad Ubaldo.
  
  I am thankful he has been around more this year. Hopefully he keeps it up. Although, Footwedge probably want him to suck more often so he can post again.:laugh::laugh:

  Starting to get a little ugly here. Wind blowing and sky getting a little darker.

  Such a true statement. Good Ubaldo is one of my favorite pitchers to watch. His breaking ball is nasty.

  Shutout through 8 for Ubaldo. I imagine he won't be coming out for the 9th. But great pitching today from him.

  And thanks to Drew Stubbs' big day, he is in line for the win!
• royal_k

  

  Ubaldo has been pretty damn good in 4 of his last 5 starts. Maybe he's getting it figured out.
  
  It sucks that Kluber didn't get to finish last night. His stuff, in the 2 innings he pitched, was dominant. Could have been up 2 games in the series.

  No I meant Stubbs.
  
  It was a joke. I posted it in the midst of his 4th K of the day lol

  Good to get the win today. Looks like we'll still be in 2nd for now, though.
• wes_mantooth

  

  The Cleveland Giambis were awesome today to watch in person and ubaldo is teasing us again! Go tribe!
• HitsRus

  

  Stubbs....the golden sombrero.:thumbdown:
  
  I'll tell you who had some good AB's....Swisher!:thumbup:
  
  Ubaldo looked like a legit #2 today.
• Laley23

  

  Swisher took some nasty pitches for balls. I will admit, I thought some of them were strikes and he shouldve been K'd. But a damn good eye on about 5 of the 7 imo.
  
  Hopefully Z-Mac can shut them down again tomorrow. Hellickson can be worked if you let him throw pitches. Dont give in, work his pitch count and get to the pen.
• bases_loaded

  

  Stubbs is great at what he is. A lock down corner out fielder who bats 9th.

  Saw this at a bar in DC.
• wes_mantooth

  

  Iffy defense costs the tribe 2 in the first....no errors, but 2 plays that need to be made
• iclfan2

  

  Reynolds really screwed up that DP. And Bourn should have made that catch. could easily be 0-0 right now instead of 2-0. Offense gotta pick them up.
• iclfan2

  

  Also, its sunny and white clouds out right now. So what the heck were they talking about Friday night? Other than late last night there has been no rain. I can't believe people can be "meteorologists" and be completely wrong MOST of the time.
• iclfan2

  

  I love when Santana bunts to 3B when the shift is on. Heads up baseball. Of course Gomes then hits into a DP but oh well.

  Agreed. If he shows that he can do that....maybe the shift will go away
• Crimson streak

  

  Z-Mac getting squeezed big time today
• hangonsloopy

  

  These umpires must be from Tampa...
• wes_mantooth

  

  Shitty umpiring and the tribe just mailing it in today....time to flip the channel
