He did a good job to not let that error by Duncan escalate.

Nice 1-2-3 inning fro Ubaldo. Always nice to end your night finishing an inning (and with a lead), particularly with a K.

And he hits into a DP. Lol. Rick Manning was getting on Acta the entire time.

So glad we preferred to sign Kotchman over Cespedes.

Perfect chance to add to the lead and we blow it again. Casey was lost that entire AB.

I'm glad I didn't see this:confused:.. Tribe wins despite:rolleyes:


In regards to Kotchman/Cespedes...This move has $$$$/ownership failure all over it. Particularly galling is that we needed a right handed power hitter almost more than anything, and if Yoenis turns out to be the real deal, this non-move will be the biggest in a series of black marks on Dolan's tenure.
Worse... unless the Tribe wins the Series, the Kotchman deal does nothing/solves nothing and cannot turn to anything but crap. He was signed for $3million for one year without even an option. So even if he does well...he's gone next year. Not only do we miss on Cespedes, we ink a deal that cannot be anything more than a 1 year stop gap.:cry:

Almost all our 'moves' seem to be desgned to limit failure rather than bring success.

On the way home last night, I heard Hamilton say that the pitching has set baseball back several years....lol. With the look of the score, the hitting must have been just as bad....

anyhow, good start to the series...what a great road trip so far.

Oaklands starters had 6 walks an 2 HBP in 5 innings I believe. About half the balls the threw were like a shotgun. Spraying all over the place. He had no clue where his pitches were going to end up.

Ubaldo was just Ubaldo. Set the first two down then throw 5 straight balls and get a groundout to get out of a jam. Frustrating, but he battled throw it again.

The Oakland pitcher, as I said earlier, looked like Rick Vaughn before glasses. He was that all over the place.

I am ready for this road trip to end so I can be able to watch the whole game again, but at the same time they are on such a roll they are welcome to stay away from the unfriendly confines of Jacobs field if it means continued winning.
