I'd say that Asdrubal can keep up the pace he's at right now and probably LaPorta and Brantley as well. The candidates to taper off would probably be OC and Hannahan. Grady Sizemore will cool off a little bit from where he is now but I still think he'll have a very good season.

Pitching-wise I'd say Perez, Perez and Sipp will continue their form while Pestano might hit a few rough patches. With the way he throws the ball, Tomlin will also be susceptible to some rough outings.

Haha I got your back when you aren't here pal! :D

Thanks, my young friend! I missed it toward the bottom of page 6 because I didn't "refresh".

P.S. - You are really really funny, there, wise-guy....cracking my ribs! :-)

Tribe hitters have to make an adjustment. First 3 in the line up pulled ground balls on outside pitches. If he is gonna stay out there, go the other way.

We need to get Grady in to tie this game up.....Druby flies out then Choo goes down on strikes.

Had to LOL at attendance being 13k. There isn't more than 5,000 people in there. I don't want to know how many tickets were sold, I want to know how many people came through the turnstyle.

Rest of the A's line up was 0-9 with a K. DeJesus 2-2 with 2 homers.

We are awesome at getting a hit with two outs tonight. Unfortunately no one is on when it happens. Grady with a leadoff double in the third and getting no runs out of it may hurt us.

Despite the two home runs Tomlin is pitching a beauty tonight. So far only 67 pitches through 6 innings and the only hits the A's have are those two home runs.

Hopefully The As change pitchers in the 8th. This guy has good stuff, but he's at 117 pitches.

I would love to see anyone else on the bump next inning. Do the Tribe have more late inning heroics in them?

Tomlin has been outstanding. Gotta get him a couple runs here.

Tomlin is straight dealing. He has made one mistake and DeJesue made him pay on the 2nd home run. I actually thought the first homer he hit was a good pitch and DeJesus just put a nice swing on it.

OC always seems to come up big. Just one more base hit.

Another waisted rally. Getting started with 2 outs makes it harder.
