If we get a double play here we win the game. If they score 4 runs this inning we lose.

Vas is in danger of giving up about 6 runs this inning.

Wow is all I can say. Why did he take that pitch?

Did cintron see the ball? What was up with that?

We're in deep crud. Odds are they will score at least 2 runs with bags loaded and no out.

how long is thome out?

Good deal Felix. I haven't been in here much so my bad.

This lineup isn't too scary tonight. How we gonna win with Gload, Mack, Cintron?

Seems the Phillie fans on their board have a high opinion of Rowand. We need him back.

If this is true, then wouldn't Oz have maintained the faith and kept him in there and not decided on the platoon? Obviously Oz, a great baseball mind, thinks the s***ty offense BA provides has hurt the team. If Uribe had hit .250-.270 instead of .200 maybe Oz could have handled one automatic out in the lineup. Two automatic outs are not good.

You've got to believe our starting rotation will kick ass and dominate through August and September and we'll still win it going away. But because of no Hermy and no Rowand we are definitely a worse team than a year ago. p.s.es that have nothing to do with this thread: Jamie Moyer just 2 hit the s*** Royals. How old is he? 48? p.s. Frank Thomas is starting to put together a decent season. He's got 11 homers and is starting to hit. Not that I want him but it's obvious our medical staff was wrong in thinking he was finished.

what about one prospect and McCarthy.

I say we overpay and reacquire Rowand. 2 prospects and McCarthy.

We need to rally and win this game or we're hosed.

Putting in closers in non save situations seems to backfire a lot.

Let's face it. We miss Rowand even though we got the better player in the deal.

what happened. are we losing?

We need to win this game. I am helpless with it not on TV and me at work.

Thanx. good recap. It's at home so we got a chance.

I just got on. Are we winning. Pls sum up the game in 10 words or less.

If Ozzie is worried about Anderson and sees the need to platoon, so am I. You can't have a starting cf on a world title contender hit under .200. He and Uribe both hitting terribly hurts our team. You can't just leave them both in there and think 2 automatic outs won't cost us many games. It's platoon time for Anderson and Uribe is probably close to that, also. Hopefully our experience will pay off and we'll dominate in Aug and Sept.

Thanks to whitesox.com for answering our question. Since their writer writes for the internet, he probably got the idea from fans wondering where the frick was the leg kick. A platoon idea wouldn't be bad right now. Oz gives guys a lot of days off anyway. p.s. why does Ichiro play every day? Kind of unheard of nowadays.

I think you are right. I think he is the most underrated player in baseball. It would be nice to reacquire another underrated player, Rowand. How bout Garland and 2 s***ty prospects for Rowand. Or McCarthy and those same 2 s***ty prospects for Rowand?

Great point by Fathom. The team has heart. The team just sucked after winning the opener, 11-0, for whatever reason, but heart is not the reason.

I just want to know what happened after the 11-0 win? Did Cleveland sack up or did we somehow turn comatose? Welcome back to the pennant race, Tribe assholes.
