Three game weekend series with the Royals.

Pitching match ups:

Friday Clevinger vs Keller

Saturday Kluber vs Fillmyer

Sunday Bieber vs Lopez

Go Tribe

Go Tribe. 

keep it purring, cat_lover...Roll Tribe!

Go Tribe!

Got water?

45 minute fountain delay. They are passing the hat around to pay for the water bill.

Tribe led 4-3 going to the bottom of the 9th. Back to back HR's and the royals win 5-4. A change of closers needs to be made. Hand was sharp in the 8th.

That game is on Tito. Start pitching Allen in the 7th or so to get his confidence back, never the 9th

Pitch him in the 6th and no later the rest of the year. Miller and Hand are the 8/9 inning guys. I’d consider Allen in the 7th depending on whose up. But come playoffs, it’s Hand and Miller for multiple innings starting in the 7th if need be.

Sorry Cody, it’s been a GREAT ride. But it’s over.

I had to wait until this morning to cool off, cause if I would've posted last night I may have gotten thrown off of here. I've said this so many times in the last two months I feel like I'm in Groundhog Day---Cody Allen IS NOT a closer anymore. Period. If Tito can't see that after last night, shame on him....that was pathetic.

I agree. 

So I'm on a plane coming home and just checked to see that the Royals are blowing up Kluber. 

So we suck?

Hey let's just lay down and let the Royals beat our asses. 

No split. Already lost two games. Let's hang on and win this one. Someone else gets to start Monday's thread. My time has run out.

The unsung hero has gotten us into position to win this game. 

cat_lover: you had a great run. 

 Edwin checks in with another meaningless home run.

Huh? Do you not like Edwin? Lol

Sweep Avoided!!

Bats come alive

Bieber Fever

Party at Bo Jackson's

Go Tribe

A much needed win to stop that slide. 

So Tito is not giving up on Allen. 

Who wants to be the next man up?

Magic number 19.

Is Thursday midnight is 40 man roster deadline for playoff roster.

McCutchen has cleared waivers, can be traded to any team.

20 is eliminate, 19 is tie

wgaf, we got beat by the lowly Royals--if we continue to play like we did against them it won't matter

Someone needs to start the Twins series thread.

I was hoping someone else would start it, but it's getting close and I'll get it going.
