Uribe's taking two pitches against Radke? That's not very aggressive baseball. It just seems like we're playing not to lose, rather than go out and make things happen.

Radke's got a good change up tonight.

Yep and he won't walk a batter all night would be my guess too.

When he had Everett 3-1, he threw him a changeup out of the zone that Carl swung at.

 

Go get 'em, Brian!

Anyone agree with me that if we lose tonight, I'd rather we be no-hit? Of course, I'd be extremely pleased if we won tonight. However, if we're going to lose, rather it be an embarrassing loss to hopefully shake this team up.

If you want that, you want Cleveland to start winning. Tough to wake up and throw it all out there when you have a 12 game lead.

 

But I don't think they aren't trying. The offense just sucks right now.

Brad radke perfect game!!! on 87 pitches.

Well, he struck out, but still had one of the better AB's out of our whole lineup...

Don't worry the Sox think talking walks are bad.

he laid off some bad pitches in that AB, that's promising

f*** no do I want the Indians to win. Too many people in the Sox organization seem to want to coast to the playoffs. I've never seen more articles written about a team planning their playoff rotation/resting players while there were still about 50 games left in the season. As Al Davis says, Just Win Baby!

He's gonna have a lot of strikeouts in his first few games, especially if he's playing LF tomorrow.

Oh yeah he will.

Well, I'm pulling for him. He's not Timo, so that's reason enough to cheer for him.

Exactly. I know it's harsh to say, but I'm rooting for a season-ending injury to Timo. If that makes me a bad fan, so be it. However, I think it's in the Sox's best interest if he was off this roster for good.

Indians have bases loaded, no outs in a tie game in the 7th after 3 infield hits/errors.

Thats fine for you and me, but I don't think players think like that. Why should there be a sense of urgency when you have a 12 game lead in August? Why not just wait to have that sense of urgency in the 3rd week of September.

 

But I don't think they aren't playing hard. THey just aren't playing well.

Timo's average is 213 points higher than Brian Anderson's!

There's a sense of urgency because one bad stretch of games against the Twins, and this lead can go from 15 to 6 or 7 very fast. We still have a fairly tough schedule the rest of the way against some very good hitting teams. I have no faith in our ability to outslug teams.

Wow is freddy giving up some absolute bleeders tonight.

2 dinks and a blast? Lets get out of this Garcia.

YOU may not have that faith, but I think they do. THey definately don't look at day to day games like we do.

I know he tried..but I am a little irritated with Ken Williams not getting us one hitter.....

 

This (if it is working don't change it and CHEMISTRY) attitude is exactly what we did in 2000...well the CHEMISTRY did not help much in the playoffs..

YOU may not have that faith, but I think they do. THey definately don't look at day to day games like we do.

 

Yep, getting swept by the Twins in August sure will do wonders for the Sox's confidence.

Indians just took a 5-2 lead. That game looks to be a win for them.
