Tribe hosts the Astros

• BRF

  

  Well doggone it, we dropped that Pirate series and are hanging in there as we near the All-Star break at 5 below .500.
  
  It's a 4 game series versus the "Stros", which makes me thirsty thinking about Stroh's. A good old beer.
  
  Anyhow, all four games start at 7:10 at The Jake aka Progressive Field at the corner of E. 9th and Carnegie.
  
  Go Tribe.

  If we go 5-2 the next seven games I'll think a lot more of this team's chances.
• BRF

  

  Not looking good tonight.
  
  5-2 Stroh's in the T6.
• HitsRus

  

  Make that 8-2
• HitsRus

  

  In the category :Good News that Doesn't Mean as Much as Winning Games"...... Jason Kipnis was named to the All Star team.

  Hey Hits: for $4900 we can go to the Fantasy Camp and show them what to do!
• HitsRus

  

  ....I actually know 2 people that have done that....one guy twice! They loved it.
• TBone14

  

  Ugly one last night. Kluber tonight, though.
• HitsRus

  

  As bad as things look, they are still within striking distance for the wild card.....but if they are still 5 games or more below .500 at the All Star break, I'd expect some trades before the end of the month. They just can't give back that 5 game winning streak last week.
• BRF

  

  Wow, I just read that Kluber hasn't won a game since May 28. SMH

  Go Tribe!

  Tony Sipp and the former Fausto.
• TBone14

  

  Kluber and Z Mc combine for 8 shutout.
  
  Shaw on to try to close it down. Speculation that there might be something wrong with Allen. Hasn't pitched for 4 days and apparently isn't available.
  
  2-0 Tribe. 1 down in the 9th.
• TBone14

  

  Ballgame.
  
  Must have been thrilling for the dozens of fans in attendance.
• BRF

  

  Kluber gets a W!

  ugh....
  
  Seems like you have to throw a shutout or a no hitter to win.
  
  I'm planning to be down there tomorrow....wish me luck.

  Go Tribe!

  How the fuck did Gattis even hit that ball, let alone out?
  
  Also, in the top of the 3rd...Bauer HAS to let that go. It hit the grass and was going foul. What an idiot.
• HitsRus

  

  That was the most ridiculous shift I've ever seen. (On Santana) the "3rd baseman" was only 10 feet from second base. The entire left side of the infield was open.
• BRF

  

  Blown opportunity in the B7, so now we dig in at 2-2.
  
  Bauer pitching in the 8th. Hammy says Gomes has been like the Black Hawk goalie with his saves.
• TBone14

  

  Bauer gives up a video game home run in the 1st and then goes the next 7 scoreless. 8 innings. 2 runs. Great outing. Should be an easy win but we will need late game herotics from the offense to win it.
• TBone14

  

  On cue, the good guy, David Murphy comes up with a 2 run double.
  
  Tribe lead 4-2 and still hitting in the 8th.
• Gardens35

  C ' mon Murph........we could use a double here.
• Footwedge

  Murphy needs to play every day.. Against righties, lefties, submarine, over the top, between the legs, doesn't matter. Still SMH that Murphy sat while Santana played in Pittsburgh. Tito can be a dufus at times.
• TBone14

  

  Allen on to try to close it. Not sure why he wasn't available or didn't pitch yesterday. I didn't listen to Tito's presser yesterday.
