The homestand wraps up with the Oakland A's coming to town for 4 games. You dont expect 4 game sweeps really, so hoping for a solid 3/4. Tribe was cooled off today, but still playing very well adn winning 3/4 heading to Detroit would be a huge confidence bost.

Lets getted started off well with a win tomorrow night!

Go Tribe!

Big series. Tigers are rolling. Can't let that lead get too big. A's have owned the Tribe recently. Could be a fun one tonight. Both Parker and Jimenez have awful for the most so there is potential for scoring but hopefully Ubaldo can build off the start in KC and start to put it together.

Jimenez is on a one game hot streak and I hope it continues. Bats need to stay hot for this one and I believe they will.

Go Tribe.

^ ESPN says 15,167 per game so far. KC is 29th with 18,706. Thirty-five percent capacity.

Drubs follows up with back to back. Then Giambi pops out and Reynolds almost takes one in the ear hole. It really pisses me off when the ump warns both teams. It's the 2nd inning and te Indians should be able to get retribution if they want. Stupid. He's also calling a terribly inconsistent game behind the plate.

Yea, pretty empty. It always happens this early in the season. Until school is out and weather warms up I feel like they always drag at te beginning of the season. I know that I need to support them better myself, especially when I'm in the downtown office

Hernandez is one of the worst there is....he shouldn't be calling major league games

Love that Reynolds walked and stared as he absolutely crushed that one...fuck that pitcher!

Also, here is Hernandez famous strike 3 call at the WBC this past year

Oh my!! Reynolds just cruuuuushed that ball. 10 rows from the scoreboard maybe. He then spit, stared down the pitcher, and walked towards first. Fantastic!

Now 7-2 Tribe.:thumbup:

I don't know about the rest of you Tribe fans, but I'm really liking the deal the brought Stubbs, Bauer, Shaw and Albers. After listening to Reds fans rip Stubbs, I am pleasantly surprised with both his offense AND defense. I know Reds fans are really liking Choo, but I make this deal again any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Agreed. He compliments the rest of the lineup well. I still don't trust our starting pitching at all....but this team is fun to watch right now

Impressive alone. Coupled with the fact he was TRYING to hit a HR because he got drilled in the head makes it so much better. Then he admitted it was the coolest thing he has ever done (the stare, spit and run) takes it over the top. Also love that Tito said to him, "if you get one, let him know"
