My idea of saving Ubaldo till Wednesday is not very popular apparently. We can easily beat Scott Diamond and the Twins with Danny tomorrow. I would rather have Ubaldo and his 1.0 ERA over his last 7 starts in the elimination game. Nothing against Danny, but that is a lot to ask of a guy who has been in the majors for about 7 weeks.

Also....if the Rays lose tomorrow, it doesnt matter if we win or lose. We host on Wednesday no matter what Texas does..

Yeah, why is Ubaldo going tomorrow?
Why waste him? Save him for the 1 game.

Well...I would say that they value this game like it is an elimination game. They don't want any part of the 3 team gauntlet that could happen. At least that is what I'm thinking

Maybe they are thinking the Nasty Masty for Wednesday. After all...he's not hurt anymore.

If you play like shit...you get called out for it. 2 years worth of absolute shit. Then he found it and is pitching like God

This is really unbelievable when you look back at how they played earlier in the year. Never thought they would get to 90 wins. The starting pitching has been lights out the second half.

Go Tribe!
Go Ubaldo!

I want no doubt about the Indians playoff status.

Win today and we have the home game. None of that 3 team playoff for a playoff.

Rays are up 3-0 in the top of the 1st, and have Matt Moore on the hill.

Lets hope rays and rangers ties, might force the Rays to use Price against the Rangers instead of the Tribe.

Rays rolling in Toronto.

If the Tribe can hold on...wouldn't it be in our best interest for both the Rays and Rangers to win so they have to burn a starter and use the pen in a 1 game playoff?

At this point, it would be nice if all 3 won.

Then have Texas beat the Rays with Yu.

Absolutely. If they play in a tiebreaker, id much rather the Rangers win too.

That would be quite a feat since Yu is going today.

Twins throwing it around. Error on a sac bunt attempt has plated another for the Tribe. Still 2 on...nobody out and up 3. Let's break it open.
