Per Mark Gonzales no Pods tonight, amongst other changes....
Nix - LF
Missle - SS
JD - RF
PK - DH
AJ - C
BA - CF
Bacon - 3B
Getz - 2B
Fields - 1B
Probably a good idea to give Pods the day off. He hasn't had a day off in awhile.

Prove you're not a middle reliever like I think you are Clayton.
The Indians O sucks, and Cliff Lee despite his record is still pretty damn good (not CY Young good like last season) Hoping for a low scoring affair, like a 3-0, 2-1 kind of victory...
Hitting is about the only thing Cleveland does well. I don't feel too good about tonight. We need to somehow have Richard keep it close and get Lee out of the game by the 6th/7th. And then feast on that miserable bullpen.

Hitting .291 with an .812 OPS in the 2 hole this year. 19 SO, 12 BB in 146 PA's.
Would it kill him to take a couple pitches and let Pods steal?

We need our 3-4-5 to keep producing right now. We have a pretty bad 6-9 today against this type of pitcher.
This 6-9 is pretty bad against most pitchers.

You already know what it will be...
1. Pods
2. Alexei
3. AJP
4. Konerko
5. Wise
6. BA
7. Getz
8. Bacon
9. Contreras
I think it might be time to move Beckham up to the 6 hole.
I thought I read Castro was playing tonight. Maybe I'm mistaken.

Yesterday's game definitely resuscitated the Cubs. Down 3-0 to Mr. Cy Young.
Love to see it. Can't wait to see the Trib's spin tomorrow if this game holds up. Something like "Let down understandable after big comeback VS. Sox." Hopefully Lee goes VERY deep into this game. Clev. bullpen is miserable.

I'm looking forward to seeing the complaints about the lineup tonight. Really nothing Ozzie can do.
Too bad Fields can't play the outfield. This would actually be a good match-up for him.
