Well that was a tough loss. Our hitting was terrible. Hopefully we bring it tomorrow.

Tonight was one of those games where the pitcher was better than our hitters. Good pitching will be good hitting every time. Come back tomorrow and split the series. A win would make it 3 out of 4 on the road trip.

Can't win when you don't score.......lol


Anyway, I knew we should've saved maybe 2-3 of those runs from Monday night's shilacking of the Royals.


We just need .500 ball the rest of the year and we win the division, so we are right on pace!

I think there was some sarcasm there.

Tip my cap to Mr. Peavy. He is a true competitor in every sense. I love watching him pitch, except when he is good vs the Tribe. He wears it on his sleeve. I wish he was still in the NL so I could root for him.

Also, although nothing can be based off of one game ever in baseball, I think tonight shows the importance of Sizemore and Pronk for the long term success of this team, this season. No offense to Travis Buck and Shelly Duncan, but those 2 guys are crucial if this team is going to make noise in September and October.

I really also have to give credit to Masterson. He was battling it early with some command issues, but he worked out of some jams, settled in and was effective. We won't lose many games only giving up 1 run.

God Jake Peavy always seems to dominate whenever we face him. Oh well we were due for a stinker eventually. Now we just gotta take tomorrows and get a split. Hopefully Pronk won't be out of the lineup too long.

I knew something was wrong with Pronk last night in KC when he hit that double.. He was running like a lame duck.

Pronk has a "sore right side" whatever the hell that means lol....shouldn't be out long and was probably just an excuse to give him a day off. We'll bounce back tomorrow, no time to worry.

The thing about peavy he seemed to throw the most hitable pitch on the first pitch. And half the time it was the change up. Once he got ahead he was painting the corners and throwing that cutter perfectly. I think they should have been more aggressive last night. Hopefully they can come back tonight.

Yeah, the way he was running the bases tuesday you could tell he wasn't right. We need him and Sizemore to stay in the line up if we want to be serious contenders this year.

Any news on Pronk. He has been Pronk again this year, and we CANT lose him to the DL. That is a tough bat to replace for more than 1 game at a time.

Valbuena was called up today and Germano was DA. OC will be away from the team for a couple days. He is becoming a US citizen. Don't have a link. I heard it on ABO.

We are now minus 3 starters.

Bad time to be away a few day with the Reds series coming up. But I do guess becoming a US citizen is an important milestone for him and they only have these ceremonies on set aside dates.

Didn't know that about OC, I did hear that Buck was pulled from the lineup with turf toe. Hafner is scheduled to have a MRI once they get back to Cleveland. What the hell is happening to everyone???

Don't get why Buck is DH and Kearns in starting in RF. Buck is the better fielder
