                                Seems like the Tribe face Buehrle almost every year on OD.

                                old news but he can't hit lefties anyways so it doesn't really matter.

                                Read a piece where the author said it seems like Acta has them (unlike Wedge) positioned to get off to a faster start. We'll see....

                                On paper, Chicago is looking like they are going to have a big year with the additions they have made.
I am looking forward to seeing what Juan Pierre can do and what Beckham will bring to the table in his first full season.
Projected Starting Lineups for both teams.
Chicago
1 - Juan Pierre
2 - Gordon Beckham
3 - Carlos Quentin
4 - Paul Konerko
5 - Mark Kotsay
6 - Alex Rios
7 - AJ Pierzynski
8 - Mark Teahen
9 - Alexi Ramirez
Cleveland
1 - Asdrubal Cabrera
2 - Grady Sizemore
3 - Shin Soo Choo
4 - Travis Hafner
5 - Jhonny Peralta
6 - Matt LaPorta
7 - Mark Grudzielanek
8 - Lou Marson
9 - Michael Brantley

                                Don't like the 3 lefties in a row (2-5) in the Tribe's order. That's not good going against a tuff Lefty.

                                Sucks that Valbuena is out. He crushed the ball in ChiTown last year (mostly Cubs though)
I also dont like the 3 lefties....BUT if Acta is true to a line-up and doesnt shift them around all the time (minues days off etc) I like it. Id rather a set line-up regardless than a line-up that tried to mix and match based on the pitcher.

                                Indians go 1-2-3 in the 1st.
Quentin gets a 2 out double and Konerko jacked one into the RF bullpen to make it 2-0 Sox, bottom 1st.

                        You may not want to. Westbrook is gonna get shelled. Absolutely NO movement on his offspeed pitches and a fastball being clocked at 88-90. Yikes! And this is our "ace"??mucalum49 wrote: Anywhere to watch this online?
