Indians suck right now, so I see them winning 2 out of 3 ;)

Kluber vs. Smiley. I like the Tribe's chances tonite. Verlander goes against Bauer tomorrow.... I don't like that quite so much.

if we can win tonite there is always a chance to take the series.

The first five hitters for Detoilet are hitting over .300--how many of these do we have total? :(

on a positive note...I think the Indians are only 4 games out of the wild card.

Well, if you add the batting averages of Swisher and Santana together....

Truth. It is almost impossible to hit this poorly with men in scoring position.

Tito is going to have to take some chances on the basepaths and attack their defense if he wants to win. You can't just lineup and expect to outhit or outpitch these guys. That was the formula that led to the Tigers overwhelming the Tribe in the season series last year. Get the lead out, Tito, and start running these guys.

Another walk and Tribe have another runner in scoring position. We all know how this ends.

Smyly has been just awful tonight. He had to hang a curve ball that a 12 year could have hit for Swisher to get a hit. I don't know why you would speed up his bat. You literally just blew an 89 MPH fastball by him.

Oh well. 2-1 Tribe for now.

Have to get another run off of Smyly before they yank him.

Aguilar with his first career hit and RBI. 3-1 Indians. Some life from Wigwammers of the Cuyahoga.

Now that I realize that I'm cheering for a 4th/5th place team, I am much less frustrated with the whole thing.

Cool story/Clear mind/Go Tribe!

He has to have compromising pictures of somebody. He is truly one of the absolute worst to ever call a game....in any sport.

He seems like a pretty decent guy. Probably why he has his job. No way they would put up with him if he was a dick. He might be OK to have a beer with at a bar but at announcing baseball...he is just dreadful.

Maybe his real job is to make Manning look good?:RpS_blink:


Aguilar drives in the go ahead run ....Up to the BP to shut 'em down for 2 innings. Don't know why he brought Kluber out for the 8th:thumbdown:
