Why does Mauer go to the mound so many times?

What the hell? Kotsay is a pro at grounding to second and you make him bunt?

Indians win.

Gotta get Q in, we need that extra run.

Here we go. Come on Q.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) I loved having Thome, but it's nice not seeing him hit into the shift for us any more. The defense on Dunn also means a big shift, right? But I sure do enjoy Mark Kotsay's grounders to second and Andruw Jones' strike outs!

Good start by Alex. Let's hope Konerko comes through this time.

Freddy's gonna give our run right back.

Johnson leads all of MLB in pitcher WAR. So yeah, he should win the Cy as of now.

Cleveland is three outs away from sweeping, they're up 4.

3-2. We need some god damn hits, not groundouts.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:19 PM) I think his speed advantage alone makes this untrue, but he's going to be just as bad very soon. Dye was a decent outfielder in terms of running routes and getting good reads, he was just way too damn slow. Quentin's just a little bit faster, but he looks clueless on balls out there at times.

Gordon is HOT right now.

That pitch was way inside.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 12:40 PM) I just got back from Minneapolis. The park really is nice. I did witness something very funny. On Thursday about 1 pm, I went to will call to pick up some tickets. Jeff Cox is in front of me trying to get in the park. "I need to get in the f***ing park. No I don't have an ID. I'm Jeff f***ing Cox. I'm the f***ing 3rd base coach. " He got in. Hahaha.

Q's already worse than Dye out there.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:55 PM) Agreed. But I've never like Konerko clean-up. I like him no higher than 6th. I'd take my chances with Q unless of course Kenny pulls the trigger on a mega-star to bat clean-up. You can't be serious. He has the best OPS on the team. He has the best wOBA on the team. He shouldn't hit any lower than 5th.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) Marmol with an unbelievable meltdown in the 9th!! Marmol is so prone to getting into huge trouble. Far too many walks and then he has to strikeout everyone to get out of it. Very little margin for error.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 07:44 PM) Volquez is back, and he looks phenomenal! Bad news for the Cards.

Carlos looked like crap today. I hope that wrist isn't bothering him.

If the Indians can somehow get another win here, we can actually gain a half game...Crazy.

It's okay, Nick Blackburn pitches tomorrow. As long as Freddy holds up his end of the bargain, we should get a split.

Wow, Paulie's looked terrible in his past two 9th inning plate appearances. He seems unsure and it's like he's swatting at flies up there.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 03:18 PM) 2 more @ CLE 3 vs TEX 3 vs TOR 4 @ TB 3 @ BOS by Aug 1 Wow, they really couldn't afford to lose these past two games with that kind of schedule coming up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) Choo's going to be back very soon, which is good because of all their games vs Twins/Tigers. I thought he was going to be back in September?
