Coming off the nice sweep of the Twins (too bad it was a 2 game set), the Tribe comes home to host the Mariners. Also a 2 game set, you had the chance to avoid King Felix. But we do not. Face him tonight. But a win would set up a chance for an unexpected 4-0 stretch with Interleague Play coming this weekend.

Game 1 (7:05):
Hernandez (SEA) -- 2.29
Jimenez (CLE) -- 5.18

Game 2 (12:05):

Noesi (SEA) -- 6.32
McCallister (CLE) -- 4.15

it was nice sweeping the twins, we need to take care of business today, and tomorrow. the tigers are going to start winning games and we have to beat the teams we are suppose to beat. hopefully ubaldo brings it today and the offense stays hot.

I was gonna say I thought we could surprise King Felix until I saw that Fausto Jr was taking the hill for the Tribe.

Gotta split this series.

Tonight doesn't look promising, so we got to get a split.

If Ubaldo can get through the first inning, we have a chance.

Seattle hasn't been doing well the last two games. Boston took care of them pretty handidly. Only run was 9th inning of first game. They did play relatively well against New York.

Hopefully, they give Felix some support. Tired of watching eight scoreless innings and then taking him out, then losing.

When Ubaldo is pitching keep note of the speed of his fastball...93+ and he'll be good...89-90 = dead meat.

I thought Ichiro was safe, but after replaying it he was beat by a **** hair. Montero looked like shit on that curve.

Brantley might have to be taken out. Swollen knee is not good for a CFer.

PS. How does Damon get to first on that play. Did they just royally fuck up and give us an out? It was 2-2...and it had to be 2-2 otherwise Santana wouldnt have been delay stealing, just would have gone.

Good start against Felix. Hopefully Jimenez doesn't get shelled and can hold the lead.

He walked. Just didn't show it.

Seattle fucked that up worse than it should have

While all the replays were going on, Hernandez threw ball 4 without the camera on.

I don't understand Hafner hitting clean up right now. Ofer 25 w/ runners in scoring position.
