Tribe doing its part, for the record.

 

for the record, mauer is pretty damn good.

 

going to be a b**** to deal with until he's a free agent and goes to the Yankees.

Eh, I think the Yankees might need to find a catcher before he hits FA...got what, 5-6 more years give or take whatever hometown contract the Twins give him once they get their new ballpark? I don't think Posada's going to last that many years, personally.

 

The Red Sox on the other hand...I could see Varitek lasting that long.

Another amazing AB from Pods. If he has a terrible night tonight, he might lose his starting position by the time Sunday comes around.

God I wish Vazquez didn't have to pitch this series. Or at least I wish he was matched up against Santana. I don't care how good he looks in the first inning, having him on the mound just scares the Hell out of me.

 

If he was matched with Johan, then we can assume we'd probably lose the game anyway...and I think he's got the worst chances of anyone on our team of pulling a good game out of his ass right now.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you, i think Javy is going to make us forget about Chris Young tonight, and from the season here on out.

We definitely need a new 1-2 punch next year.....

Certainly all the evidence supports you.

I think #2 is still doing just fine. 1 however...

 

Ok, we've really got to get to Radke here. I think we all know what happens when you don't get to him early.

Iguchi just seems to be lacking focus at the plate now. He's been very streaky from game to game this season, which is symbolized by having a lot of 3 hit games this year.

And somehow, he'll lose it to Cintron. Because you know we have to put a lefty in CF against all right handed pitchers, because BRIAN ANDERSON CAN'T HIT RIGHTIES AND WE'VE GOT TO REST HIM UP FOR WINTERBALL.

Yeah, I still have confidence in this team this year, but I'm already very excited about next year, just because of who I know we won't have.

Meh. Ozzie doesn't like to change things around. Pods could go 0 for the next 5 days and he'd still be playing.

Gooch is too inconsistent and strikesout out too much for a #2 hitter, I'd rather seem him moved down to the 6th or 7th spot...

Tell that to our starting Center Fielder.

I missed the first inning, so I'm not certain whether these radar gun readings are correct, but Radke is throwing meat up at the plate. Consistent 83 mph fastball? Less than 5 runs will be a travesty.

I too feel that way, should i feel bad about it?

Not a sellout tonight? Lame.

get up!!!!!

Radke looks like he has nothing tonite, we better tag him

Thank you Paulie...we needed that this inning. BADLY.

Take that Crap-ke!

PK RIPPA IS BACK!!!!

Great start!!! You can never hit them out far enough with Hunter out there. Just as I blame our pitchers for dumb pitch selection, there's no way he should have thrown PK an outside fastball there. PK has been struggling with the changeup for a few weeks now.

Nah, sometimes it's all that gets me through the night lately. Paul Konerko's real good.

I too feel that way, should i feel bad about it?

No, if for no other reason than the fact that it's impossible for me to imagine that some of these guys in the starting 5 won't revert towards their career numbers. Each and every one of them is having a worse year than what they should be having, and in baseball, usually that evens out at some point.

PK RIPPA IS BACK!!!!

It's about time! Now shut em down Javy, we just took the lead!

AJ looks like he could use a couple of days off. Too bad we don't have a competent backup.
