Yes they do considering they have Baltimore and New York next. If they played .500 ball and took 2 of 3 series it would be a phenomenal trip.

Keep the momentum going, and take game one. Then you can go 1/2 versus Houston and 3/3 versus Bmore and NYY. That would be awesome.

Lol, I meant 3 L and 3 W. Basically, win 1 of the 2 series. Of course, that was looking at only June and I didnt realize we have a game versus Bmore in July, so a 4 game set. So maybe 2/3 with Houston, 2/4 from Baltimore and 1/3 from NYY. 5-6 on that road trip Id take. If we can sneak in another W, and have a winning record...Ill be REALLY excited.

hahaha, sorry, thought you meant 3/3 from the Orioles and then the Yanks...but yes, a 5-6 road trip would be considered a successful one.

I also saw the Tribe is pushing hard to try and land Youk...
Hope they snag a starting arm to go with him. Is Rodriguez pitching for Houston in this series? Perhaps an option?

I wouldn't expect his numbers to stay that low, particularly with a change of scenery. Plus he is RH, and plays a multitude of positions.

I heard greinke may be available and same with cole hamels. Any of those 2 would be amazing. I would prefer hamels though. Add him and say youk or willingham possibly would make us the favorites in the central

Houston is wayyy better at home than on the road. 2 out of 3 would be real nice.

Tribe has a left fielder in triple A that has been moving up the ranks. Hit 380 out west and is still pounding it at Columbus.

Then I looked up his splits and he can't hit lefties. Damn.

The question I would have, would be what do the the Indians have available to trade that they can spare that would be sufficient to land a player of significance.
"Selling" teams want prospects or young players, and the Tribe dealt it's top pitching prospects for Ubaldo last year. Who do they dangle out there?

Ubaldo has been excellent his last 4 or 5 starts. Starting to string together some great ones. Fastball is is back to a consistent 95 and his offspeed stuff has been great.

And no idea why Santana was sent there.... Unless he tagged on his own.

Frustrating to see bases loaded with less than 2 outs and you get nothing.
