I agree. I think the Tribe are going to need a good number of runs tonight.

I haven't seen anything from House that has really impressed or excited me. A nice start overall vs the White Sox but he is just a soft tossing lefty trying to trick people and has to be perfect on location. If his command is off, he is basically throwing BP.

Remember? I am still trying to forget.

I do remember he threw an absolute gem once. It was around Mother's or Father's Day perhaps. I remember they kept showing his family in the crowd. That was about it. I am going to try to find that game.

EDIT: Nevermind. I was maybe thinking of the back to back complete game shutouts he threw in July of 06, his rookie season. We were high on him then. That was the beginning of the end.

He finished his rookie year 7-4. 2007- 1-7 2008- 4-9 2009- 6-11

Jeremy Sowers had a heck of a run the second half of his rookie season. Like, really good.

But yeah, he fooled us all...I guess it makes sense since the only way these guys ever have real success is when the hitters have not seen them before lol

Ryan Rallykiller GIDP and wipes out what couldve been an even bigger inning. But Tribe up 3-0 after 1.

Does he have great numbers vs Peavy? I dont understand why he is in the lineup as a RH vs a RHP.

Well, he is 3/12 lifetime with 2 HRs and 8 RBI versus Peavy. So I guess he has decent power...

Good start. Could have been better, though. They need to keep scoring. Three isn't winning tonight.

House gets another DP. Living dangerously so far but all we care about is 0's on the scoreboard.

House is throwing batting practice. This is what below replacement level pitching looks like. Getting outs is totally smoke and mirrors. Every ball is hit hard. Total luck. They could have 8 runs. He has the velocity of a guy who should be a crafty lefty but he isn't crafty at all.

Sox will start the 3rd time through the lineup here in the 5th. Big inning for Mr. House. I am expecting this game to be tied at best heading to the bottom of the 5th.

What a play by House on the bunt! That is a tough, do or die play.

Blind squirrel. Lucky that Holt gave him an out last inning by bunting. House had to make a great play but that changed the whole inning. And Papi hit a rope right at Bourn.

Peavy is doing what he does versus us.

Thank God we got 3 early...even if Raburn blew the chance for 5+
