This may sound dumb but is Wise still on the team? Isn't he faster than BA?

This is where baseball is crazy. Thornton obviously is on. Do you pitch him in the ninth against a bad team like Oakland or bring in the closer? Obviously you bring in the closer, but is that truly the right call? Has baseball outthought itself?

You think Thornton will be a starter someday? If he has control he might be good.

Two up two down by Thornton. Keep it rolling Mr. Thornton.

This game is there for the taking. Our pen has sucked. Let's hope.

Well, it's the same game as last night. You guys confident in our pen or do the Athletics have us right where they want us, ready to choke like yesterday? You make the call before it happens.

Do we get the good Dotel today or the bad Dotel?

I'm not crazy about Swish, but that had nothing to do with cf ability. You can either see the ball or you can't in the sun.

Why are you not a greg775 fan? I'm out for now on my way to work. Usually that gives us luck when I leave a game thread mid game. Peace.

I'm not a Greg Smith fan. He sucks.

I wonder if Paulie could turn into a doubles hitter this late in his career. He seems to be skinny now with a slower bat. Maybe it's just my eyes failing me.

That looked like a pitch Dye coulda hit deep. Griffey can't hit the hack pitcher. Bad at bat.

I'm as pessimistic as the next guy, but so many posters need to rewatch the movie Major League and realize they are that character who always assumes the Indians will lose. That funny guy. I forget his name. He was also in the Vacation movies.

Quentin is a pleasure to watch hit.

Why would you waste your time posting that. Yoou might be right but to post sweeping statements so early in game two of the series is dumb and a waste of your typing.

Sweet. Nice pitch. Nice throw by Juan. Good job.

Throw strikes. What the frick are you doing out there??

This at bat is gonna be ugly. Frank with a double.

Danks is burying himself and his team.

Danks is pitching scared this inning. That or he has nothing.

Baseball has become several games within a game and we failed the late portion of the game when Dotel blew up. We had the game til he came in. He sucked and that was that. That Anderson play didn't help either, but had he stopped at third, Swish probalby woulda stranded him anyway. Hope we battle back not fold like we did after disapointing loss No. 1 in Wrigley.

How bout "Win or die trying" The pennant is here for us to take. We better start winning on the road, cause Minnie will go 5-1 or 6-0 on this homestand.

Foulke was great. I forgot to put him on my list.

It's on Dotel for pitching like a bum. He can be so damn good and he can be what he was tonight, totally horses***. Baseball is such a weird game with so many relievers coming in and out. I think somebody was right when they said Thornton had it tonight. It seems like most teams are playing with fire when they use three relievers for about an inning apiece. usually one of the three is horses***.

I never thought of it that way, but Fathom is right. We are three back basically. I don't want to bag on Uribe, but for all the Uribe lovers, you would have crucified Crede for dropping the pop up. Next pitch or two bam, Cust homer. We sucked away that game. No doubt about it. Can we bounce back against this godawful team and the hack they are pitching tomorrow? Who knows? Horrible loss. I still fear Frank and how he might single handedly beat us one of the next 2 games. He might connect against Danksey two or three times.
