They just said it on Sportscenter. He's got a stiff neck, doesn't look like he'll start.

Well now we have no excuse but to sweep these cocksuckers and get in the playoffs.

Three words...Vazquez Game Two

Well at least that's something positive I guess.

 

Probably makes up for the Royals not starting Grienke either.

Three words...Vazquez Game Two

 

Yeah, against the almighty Zach Jackson. All hail Zach Jackson.

f***

I'd almost rather start Richard v. Jackson.

Bullington to pitch;

 

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Bryan Bullington will start Sunday's season finale against the White Sox if Cliff Lee (neck) is unable to pitch.

 

Quite a dropoff, going from the likely Cy Young winner to a 27-year-old bust of a former No. 1 overall pick trying to salvage a career as a fifth starter or long reliever. The game may decide the AL Central winner, so the Twins will be rooting for Lee to pitch.

The key is tonight.

 

If we can hold serve SOMEHOW, then the pressure really is on Perkins tomorrow, who's been ever WORSE than Blackburn recently, if that's possible.

 

Of course, he'll throw a shut-out and Meche will get knocked out in the 3rd. Then again, with Vazquez again on 3 day's rest, I guess all bets are off. And Liriano has been so tough for much of the second half, and he's at home, AND...well, there's always hope I guess. At least in Nicholas Sparks novels.

 

If he stumbles yet again, I think KW will have to move him...and it looks like Swisher now, too. Not a good problem, dealing from a position of weakness instead of strength.

I heard Lee will pitch if the game means anything.

I wonder if Greinke will do the same?...sounds like that's a much more unlikely scenario at this point.

No, he's shut down for the season.

So if the Sox have a chance to sweep, then he will pitch in order to be a spoiler?

If the game matters towards the AL Central standings, he will pitch.

It's entirely possible the White Sox could win tonight and the Twins could lose...

Haven't you heard? The season is over. We may as well forfeit these next few games.

Rotoworld yesterday

Rotoworld yesterday

 

Well if the original post in this thread is accurate in that it was said this morning on sportscenter, I think and hope that it holds higher precedent than rotoworld yesterday.

they said it during the game yesterday if i remember right. if you heard it on sports center then thats probably the word.

Scott Lewis has been amazing so far. With this offense of ours, I doubt we can get 5 hits off of him tonight. Danks is going to have to shut that entire Indians lineup down.

I find it hard to believe that Lee would pitch solely based on the impact it will have on teams outside of his own. If his neck feels better, than yeah go right ahead but if your not comfortable being out there and it doesnt impact your team.... just seems dumb to me. If it comes down to final game and we lose playoffs because Cliff Lee started, I'll forever hate the Indians thats for sure.

He has been amazing... in a mere nineteen innings.

The less innings a pitcher throws, the better chance he has to shut us down.

I'm finding it pretty hard to get enthused about any news right now.

I am in such a friggin' depressive funk right now.....
