The Indians leave gloomy Ohio and head down to Tampa for a four game series. The first three games all start at 7:10, while Thursday's game is one of BR's favorites: the Business Man's (person's) special at 12:10.

The Tribe will probably be shut out in three of the games and score about 17 in one of them.

Go Tribe.

Tribe now up 2-0, coming to bat in the fifth.

The Rays have been 3 up/ 3down for the first 4 innings at the hands of the Tribe's Cody Anderson.

This game should be 4-0...,maybe 5 zip.
Tribe has 9 hits and two walks thru 5 innings. The big rally killer so far goes to Lindor who hit into a 1 out, bases loaded DP. Runner up to Carlos Santana who with runners on 1st and 2nd and nobody on, managed to still strike out even after having his at bat prolonged by an error on the catcher, and Brandon Moss who followed that with a weak grounder fielder's choice.

Asshole Grady Sizemore has broken up Cody Anderson's perfect game and no hitter by hitting a home run. Thanks, Grady.

Tribe wins 7-1, scoring 4 in the 9th. Solid win. Great pitching. Still too many left on base, but all's well that ends well.

Cody Anderson was excellent tonight. Not overpowering stuff but excellent command and he and Gomes had them off balance all night.

Still would like to see someone other than Kipnis or Brantley start some rallies. It seems they need to always be involved for the Tribe to score. They need help.

Lol. I am assuming this is tongue in cheek. Still such a shame injuries got to him. He was so much fun to watch. Wish him nothing but the best vs anybody other than us.

92.3 had a guy from one of the MLB publications on yesterday and was asked if the Tribe could be sellers if things don't pick up. The guy said "outside of Kipnis, Brantley, Gomes & pitching, what does the Tribe have that anyone else would want?" Pretty sad, but true....

National League teams are always looking for guys like David Murphy for down the stretch. Guy who can play a couple positions in the outfield and pinch hit. However, we wouldn't get much of anything for him. Would anybody be dumb enough to give us anything for Bourn or Swisher?

Murphy & Raburn were the ones he mentioned that could be moved but, as you said, probably get a bucket of balls in return.

Salazar has been great. Tribe have hit 3 home runs and it's 6-0 in the 7th with the Tribe still batting.

Still a lot of work left but CC has been excellent so far.

9 outs away.

Tribe lead 5-0 heading to bottom 7.

No reason to sugarcoat it. STO had a giant "Perfect Game Thru 6" on the screen the whole inning.

CC has a no hitter through 7. Walked his first batter in the 7th to lose the perfect game bid. He got a double play next batter.

He has faced the minimum.

What would his pitching score be with 12ks, 1bb, and a complete game?
