Not really dealing with the game thread, but figure people might want to see. Twinks lost 6-3 tonight. Santana gave up 10 hits and 4 runs in only 5 2/3 innings. Crain gave up a two run blast. Just FYI.

Why are people getting on GoTribe's case? There were some other Indians fans posting in the game thread today right? Might as well spread it around equally.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 02:06 PM) unless you're playing the florida marlins Roy Oswalt is pretty good.....unless he is facing us that is.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) Here's the question I have: what are people doing so bad on here that some are talking down to? I haven't seen much besides for complaining about Garcia....who deserves criticism for his effort today. Your title says it all. I do get a good laugh thinking about what the players might say if the read some of the posts. They could get quite a laugh from it. Freddy had a bad day. They all will. Buerhle could have given up this many if he kept going. I'm not surprised though. I think we all knew it would be like this.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 01:42 PM) Glad to see it took one game and a few innings before the lemmings lined up to be the first to jump off of the Hancock again... LOL. Yah. It's like clockwork. This team deserves better.

QUOTE(q\/\/3r+y @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 01:35 PM) They were lucky to find the holes still. Who said anything about luck? Maybe we need to look closer? Anybody see anything about luck? I saw something about Cleveland having good hitters. Anybody seen the convo on luck?

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 01:34 PM) Jphat....he didn't look fine. He was throwing weak fastballs to the plate and rolling offspeed pitches. Not only that, but he was completely slowing down his motion on his change-up. I was talking about the WBC , which is what I was responding to.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 01:32 PM) Can we at least wonder why his velocity is down by about 5 mph compared with last season? Anyone see a radar gun on Freddy during the WBC? He looked fine. Just like he did for much of the spring. Maybe this is his dead arm period.... But IMHO, and I stress this is my opinion, I just htink he sucks and won't help us get to the World Series that we wnat so badly.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 01:27 PM) Holy s*** people, this is one game... and if JimH is right and he's trying to throw through an injury... mercy calm the hell down. For everyone being so up on Sunday now we have to see all these posts of people jumping off of the bridge already. Don't even bother trying my man. It's the way this thread works. It's hilarious. I figured maybe we'd get to the second week of games. LOL.

I don't think Freddy is gonna win a game this year when I really think about it.

LOL. Freddy's like call me when September gets here.

Stupid Indians. Swinging the bat well today.

Almost Joe

Man. Westbrook is on. Really spotting his pitches well. Impressive that Thome hit the ball out.

QUOTE(q\/\/3r+y @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 01:07 PM) It is f***ing baseball. That is the object. I know. THey did a really good job of it. HOpefully we can find a couple.

Finding the holes.

Westbrook looks really good. Gonna be tough to score today.

Man. Westbrook is locating fairly well today. Cmon Cintron.

Freddy's trying to be like Bartolo I gues. LOL. Turn it up as the game goes on. Not sure that's a great idea.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 12:31 PM) Yeah, I'm not sure if it's physical or mental with him though. I thought he was throwing around 90 mph during the WBC. He was throwing that last week. Here he is hitting around 90.

He's a good hitter.

Jim crushed that ball

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 01:34 PM) Getting rid of Buehrle or JC is just dumb imo. Yep. Neither one needs to go. Our two best pitchers I'd say.

QUOTE(Misplaced_Sox @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 11:16 AM) Politte had great movement on his pitches.... just was no locating them. I am not going to worry about Cliff, I do think he will have another very good season. His sinker was downright the nastiess I have seen it. Major bite. His slider was still good. His fastball was just all over the place. I thought watching Thornton pitch he did not seem that wild but had a tendency I believe to over throw on occasion. He just needs to settle down. Agreed. His stuff looked really good. Tight break on his slider and a fairly good fastball. He just couldn't locate to save his life,

White Sox winner!!! Goodnight everybody!!!!
