Yeah, he takes the term "fair weather fan" to a whole new level (see "BGSU football").

Got an iPod and listened to the game on it last night for the first time, so I have a winning streak going.

Go Tribe!

From June through August I only listen to games. I don't see anythign on TV until September. Love Hamilton's game call. Hate Rosey.

Brantley was listed as being in today's line-up but then started not feeling well and was pulled. They are taking him back to the Clinic to be evaluated again.

Poor Rosey. He tries so hard but he is just such a dork. Reminds me of the character with Bob Uecker in Major League.

...and with outfielders in mind, Nyjer Morgan is on the 60 day DL...about a month away from returning. He is working out at the Tribe's Goodyear complex, and running in the pool. Morgan has a PCL strain.


What started out to be a promising start and Comeback Player of the Year possibility, has turned to shit for Grady Sizemore. Sizemore was DFA'd by the Red Sox just a few plate appearances from collecting a bonus. Sizemore had a great first 2 weeks of the season, but has hit just .187 in a 43 game stretch since.

It might be a good idea for the Tribe to pick him up since they seem to like .180 hitters so much they hit them in prominent spots in the batting order :D
In all seriousness, I was rooting for Grady...he's a good guy who deserves a fresh start.

I don't mind his verbiage it's his voice when he gets excited that makes me cringe.

In old Ubaldo trade news, the A's put Pomeranz on the DL for hurting his hand punching a chair

Druby with another costly error, and Swisher with a pair of K's to send his BA to under .200...again.

Home winning streak doesn't look like it will continue.

Asdrubal with his 2nd error tonight?

Swisher is only a few AB's from dropping below the Medoza line right now.

He needs to get his shit together.

One more AB to be exact, he's at .202 right now.

KC is smoking the Tigers right now, and baring a miracle comeback will be in sole possession of the AL central lead I would have to think for the first time in a long ass time this late in the season.

Remember this time a month ago when Mike Trout was "slumping" and only hitting .263 and people were questioning him?

It seems like every team is employing an overshift on most left handed hitters....I think a lot of guys have to go back to 'school', and learn to take the ball the opposite way.

The home win streak had to end sometime.

Start a new one tonight.

The rainout pushes Masterson's start back to the 12:05 game today.
