Can we please salvage this game?

 

Today is a must win.... coming home to play the Angels isn't going to be fun. After Toronto the Twins have 6 pretty easy games vs Detroit and KC at home. It would be nice to see alittle urgency out of the guys...

If we can't beat Sowers........

hopefully owens bats clean up today

Could you imagine where we'd be right now without that 4.5 game lead at the end of August?

If Brian Anderson does not start today. I really think they need to release him.

 

If you can not hit, and this team is struggling to do so then you need to put your best defensive players out there.

 

Enough with the Joe Crede experience.

 

I am also once again trying to figure out what Nick Swisher does so much better than Brian Anderson. The singing and dancing numbers are getting a little old when you can't hit. He has completly melted away on this road trip.

Starting lineups? How about Brian Anderson today?

It's a little late in the season for wholesale changes based on frustration. Things happen. if these guys are winners, and I still believe they are, they just need to pick each other up and play better. One thing for sure we can't win this division by only picking up the final game of a series. This team is not showing anything right now that's very positive. Maybe today

Something must be wrong with Quentin and Griffey apparently. Not overly surprised Toby's getting a start. Glad Uribe is starting over Crede. This lineup would not scare me if I'm Cleveland however. Javy has to have a great game

I like this lineup (sorry, I refuse to ever use green), even though I was at the game at the Cell where Thome was blasting the ball off of Sowers.

Somebody tell Ozzie that today is NOT Sunday.

 

Actually there is some logic buried in there.

 

On the season, right-handed hitters are batting .318 versus Sowers.

 

With the injuries to CQ, & Jr., i dont mind this lineup. Didn't realize Fields got called up too. Whatever people might think of the lineup though, it definitely is better than Clevelands at least...

 

G. Sizemore cf

D. Dellucci dh

B. Francisco lf

J. Peralta ss

S. Choo rf

R. Garko 1b

S. Fasano c

A. Marte 3b

A. Cabrera 2b

Griffey, Crede, and CQ are all hurt, that explains three of the spots. Toby starting for AJ after a night game is normal. The only starter that is really odd being out is Fields for Thome.

Do away with my b****ing about him not playing.

 

I like this line-up although Fields over Thome with the way Thome has been hitting I am not sure about. I know Fields can hit lefties.

 

It seems whenever a leftie is allowed to face the entire right handed line-up Ozzeroo runs out there, they throw a five hitter as they are allowed to get into a rhythm. I'd rather see Uribe bat second BTW.

 

The defense today should be pretty solid.

Fields at DH. Ha! That line up is probably the best defensive line up we can put out there.

 

I'm going to the Brewers game so won't see too much.

so we have AJ, Thome, Griffey, Quentin, and Crede on the bench...haha

this lineup would make sense on the last day of the season if we were up 2 games

There are quite a few Tribe fans who think their team still has a shot this year. (Really)

 

Let's win this game and help put them out of their misery.

AHH, WGN shows games when I am at work. Perfect, at least I can catch some when I go home for work

'27 Yanks go down 1-2-3 in the top of the inning

Could you imagine where we'd be right now without that 4.5 game lead at the end of August?

 

Probably 4.5 games out of first...

Sizemore just took an inning off of Javier's day right there.

 

Also Swisher's OPS is .048 higher than Brian Anderson.
