Tribe with a couple hits with RISP! Signs?

Mirage

Im glad Laporta had the balls to swing at the first pitch.

Laporta! Swung at the second pitch too!

I know it might be cliche/naive but sometimes all an offense needs is a good inning like that to start to turn the corner.

Guess we'll see tomorrow

Too little, too late. Try again tomorrow.

It wont look as embarrasing on Sportscenter bottomline tomorrow.

Hopefully that little spurt gets the offense going. Our key guys all got hits that inning (and Choo a BB).

Tigers also lost...of course, soon enough the Sox will be there as well.

A little positive note to end the game. Hopefully it gets the team going.

Watch the Twins end up winning this division. They've played 18 more road games than home at this point (40 to 22), and you gotta figure they'll start playing more like the Twins usually do in Minny at some point (45+ home wins 9 of the last 10 years).

So me knowing that the Tribe offense is ads means you're more competitive than me? My god, I've heard it all now.

Pay attention. I said that Fausto should have been yanked in the first inning. As the game played out, the Indians easily could have won the game. You are smarter than that. I like a lot of things Acta does....but tonight, he was a dumb ass. Anybody that thinks that it was smart to keep Carmona in past the first inning doesn't know much about baseball.

Who said anything about it being smart to keep Fausto out there? IMO, he should either be benched a few starts or flat out released (though I'd honestly hate to truly give up on the guy)...

The only thing any of us said was that it didn't matter because the offense has been just as bad as Fausto. Sure, they scored some runs late, but it didn't matter, it was garbage time..

Now, hopefully that late inning rally gets the offense going. We got some hits with RISP so maybe the pressure is off. I think tomorrow (or should I say today?) is a must win for the Tribe in terms of THIS series, because no way do I think we win both of the last two games in the series.

This is our busiest time of the year and I put in 60 hours a week at work. I get home at 7....crack open a beer...and have to watch that shit go on in the first inning. As I said, I like Acta for the most part. but dammit....he needs to get Fausto the hell out of there before the game gets away.

You are just as big of a Cleveland fan as I am....that is why I don't understand why you and Laley are OK with Acta letting the game get away. This bullpen of Smith, Sipp, and the Perez boys are the strength of this team. And collectively, they are the most underworked pen in the league. After Carmona's latest shitstorm, Acta compounded the problem by inserting Pee Wee while there was still time and hope....

Like Herm Edwards said, "you play to win the game"...and that's true whether you are up 4 runs or down 4 runs. I'm sick and tired of Acta's act in giving up so early in the game. He's done it way too many times to count this year.

Laporta! Swung at the second pitch too!

The problem with LaPorta is he swings at everything....except the pitches that he can hit. Reminds me of the saying...."Can't hit it...can't lay off it."

It just annoys me sometimes when I watch and it's like little league. Automatically take the first pitch no matter how good it looks. I'm not specifically saying he needs to do that, but some people need to. Laporta, Choo and Grady are definitely not like that though.

Well to be fair.....i am just excited when those three put the ball in play.....

How long do you think it will be before someone gets beaned today?

Hopefully early on....something needs to spark this sinking ship.

Of coarse Colon looks to have a very good fast ball today.

lol at underwood and manning talking about fat people
