May 28, 200817 yr Well, the Tribe pulled out every gork hit, every bunt play, every steal, every trick they could possibly muster and still they cannot beat us.

May 28, 200817 yr 64% of teams in first place as of Memorial Day have made the playoffs. Its nice having a shutdown bullpen again.
May 28, 200817 yr 6-1 v. Cleveland in the last 7, 3-1 at the Prog or Jake whatever it goes by. Sox Win.

Agreed. Though I will say Cleveland will likely be there at the end. Their starting pitching is incredible, and if their offense gets hot, which I imagine it will, They will be tough to beat during that stretch. They have 6 legit starters. Detroit not so much. On the other hand we're kinda in the same situation. If OC, Swish, PK and Thome wake up, we'll be damn near unbeatable.

The Indians arent the most popular team in a lifeless town, and now they are basically relegated to 3rd place with the Lebrons doing well. Edited May 28, 200817 yr by RockRaines
May 28, 200817 yr Awesome win, would love to see a QS everytime out but that's not realistic so it was nice to get a win that you can attribute to the offense
May 28, 200817 yr This 'Pen Actually has me excited about our chances this season. The Entire League is up for grabs.

May 28, 200817 yr On behalf of Ed Farmer, I'd like to wish everyone a goodnight. Was he doing the broadcast with the cat that was posting from Germany or Belgioum or whereever he was from. Ed it is 3:20 your time.

Almost 1/3 of Cleveland's wins came with Lee starting (they're 17-27 when he doesn't start). With Carmona on the shelf for a month, their rotation is not as good as it looks.
May 28, 200817 yr I think Floyd looked Ok outside of that 6th inning. 0 bb, 7 K. Not too bad. Really, his biggest mistake might have been that error in the 1st.

With Carmona on the shelf for a month, their rotation is not as good as it looks. Sabathia - Lee - Laffey - Westbrook - Byrd is as good as it looks. Still slightly better than our rotation, imo.

Lee was in the minors last year, Westbrook is a 4+ ERA guy, Byrd is avg. I think our rotation matches up very well with theirs.
