Need to take 2 of 3, especially with all the other teams struggling.

Time to stop letting KC push us around.

I expect a sweep. Pitching sucks and our bats have gone silent.

This series looms even more important since Texas and Tampa are starting a 4 game series tonight.

Exactly why if we take 2 of 3, we will be in great position to end the season.

2 of 3 might eliminate KC, and is ideal, obviously. It would guarantee we are in a WC spot on Friday.

If we could somehow beat Shields tonight, We have Kluber and Salazar going the next two games. I would like our chances of a series win. And Swisher and Cabrera getting hot at the right time is huge.

Big game James has our number again. Tribe looking silly at the plate. Can barely put it in play vs him.

Tribe down 2.

This is our shot, with Gomes up.

If he gets out of this, it will be 6 up 6 down to end his night after 6 innings...

Ugh. How do you not even put it in play?

And, ftr, the ump has no clue where the plate is.

Lonnie hits number 11 and gets the Tribe on the board.

Bourn follows with a bunt single.

Tribe back in business.

Shields holds the ball well in his set (for differing amounts of time), but he is still REALLY slow to the plate. We should be running on him...looking at you Bourn, who hasnt moved for 2 straight Ks.

Bourn had it stolen but Santana fouled it off.

Shields with 10 K's through 5.

Thats the frustrating part to me, though.

He should have been running during Swishers AB. And, heck, if he makes it Swisher probably just tries to pull it with 2 strikes and Kipnis just tries to put it in play. Voila, its 2-2...

I know that is a lot of speculating, but I just dont understand why we arent more proactive! Bourn led the league in steals 3 years in a row and had 42 last year!

Terrible break. Ball gets stuck on the wall rail where the scoreboard indents so Brantley had to run all the way to wall to get it. Then, the ump misses a pretty routine out call at 3rd. Leadoff triple.

Perez leads off the 6th for the Royals with a triple. Appeared to be out at 3rd. Kaz in some trouble.

Damn. A good outing for Kazmir spoiled by a back to back triples that chase him in the 6th. If they get that call right at 3rd...who knows.

because the Royals are over .500? They also won the season series versus the Tigers. They mentioned the other day the only reason the Indians are above .500 is because of they beat up on the white sox. Indians are 15-2 against the white sox and 66-66 versus the rest of the MLB. Pathetic.
