I would rather have Cintron at SS, Gload in at first and PK at DH.

 

This lineup screams yuck.

Why does ozzie always do this??

 

Because it wins us World Championships?

agreed but this is the indians, these games matter.

Last I checked Cleveland is a division rival. Why is Ozzie treating this game like it's the D-Rays?

agreed but this is the indians, these games matter.

 

Which games don't matter??

Which games don't matter??

 

 

 

that's not the point, this is the perverbial foot to the throat against our big rivals.

 

hey hopefully we pull this off anyways. The indians have the entire normal lineup, including using martinez.

The team traveled from Anaheim to Cleveland, then go from ending a game at about 11 eastern to playing at noon; also after this game the team comes back home after this 8 game road trip. It's not surprising at all that Ozzie is giving guys breaks.

I'd rather he rest them tomorrow against Seattle.

 

EDIT: We saw what a crazy travel schedule did to the Angels last October. They beat us in game 1.

I'd say they're much more tired today than they'll be tomorrow seeing how there'll be about a 16 hour turn around from the end of the game today to the beginning of tomorrow's game.

Yeah, really. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

The regulars need rest. Thats why the lineup is like this. We have had a short turnaround, and we need them for this homestand. We should beat up on the next two teams we face, and we need to capitalize on playing the weak teams.

The definitive evidence.

Ouch, what an ugly lineup. Baby Cintron as DH. Well, I'm sure we'll still beat 'em up.

Meh. Today's game will be 2 hours tops. They get paid millions. Cinch it up and hunker down. I wanted an angry Thome today smashing the ball all over the place after yesterday's pathetic homecoming by their fans.

No, logic is not gonna work here. Soxtalk has made a habit of complaining about Ozzie's sunday lineups and nothing, not even facts, can stop this from occuring.

lol open gameday and check out the lower third of the orders BAs

 

not one over .200

The only lineup change I would have liked to see is Pods in LF, and Ozuna at DH.

I'd say the playoffs are a little different. You didn't see Ozzie pumping out these lineups during the postseason.

 

And the Angels didn't necessarily look like a juggernaut that game. We just got shut down by their pitching.

Agreed. Its hard to fathom taking out AJ who is hitting the cover off the ball right now.

You play that card, and you sound country retarded.

That whole "they make millions of dollars, they should be able to do anthing" argument sure is a solid one.

AJ is probably the only guy I would rest today.

Hey thanks! I thought it was good too.

Agreed. Its hard to fathom taking out AJ who is hitting the cover off the ball right now.

 

AJP caught a four hour game last night, has been plunked twice in the last 3 days, and there's a tough lefty on the mound. I have no problem with him sitting out. My only concern is that Buehrle/Widger don't mesh well today.

f*** espn, f*** that station. f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** F UCK f*** F UCK
