August 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 07:28 PM) Is it back to we can only post positives when we win games because we won, so everything must have been right/correct? Let's keep in mind it's the Orioles we're playing, not the Tigers. I don't care what people post, as long as we're still free to reply to it. And please, for the love of god, don't try and sell me on the Tigers being some great team.

August 10, 201114 yr Indians looking to take the lead in the 8th, runner on 3rd one out. Minny loses (wouldn't it be sweet if they finished dead last?).

August 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 03:19 AM) Then why do you support the bunt? I don't want us to bunt only because our guys can't bunt. I understand the situations in which he sometimes wants to bunt. That is my confusion on that issue. I've said Oz deserves scorn because he's calling for the bunt and not demanding they learn how to bunt. Also we have NOT until this trip been bombing multiple homers. If we can start hitting home runs like this, whether we bunt or not will be inconsequential.
August 10, 201114 yr Extra innings in Cleveland. 2-2. That darned Below for the Tiggers had something like a no-hitter going if you put together his last 3 relief appearances in a row. Durbin was great too, despite a 6+ season ERA. 7 innings of shutout ball from both teams' relief corps Still tied going into the bottom of the 11th. Al Albuquerque has incredible IP/H and K/9 numbers. Something like a .145 average against. BTW, the last three games of the season, Cleveland is in Detroit. Hopefully we can sneak away with the division while they're beating up each other like tonight. Interestingly, DET didn't bunt the leadoff hitter (Cabrera) on base in the top of the inning and Raburn up. Same situation, Carerra walked and Brantley moved him to 2nd. CLE has 2 chances to win now. Crosses fingers for 4 GB and not a tie for 2nd place with CLE, 5 GB. Foul ball by a matter of feet...Kipnis almost won it down the line with a walkoff homer.

August 10, 201114 yr Both key elements of that play (Pauley and Fukudome) were acquired at the deadline. Kosuke was awful in the game but they somehow managed to win, probably the most important game of the season (for CLE) after blowing 4 late inning leads in 7 games on their recent road trip. Too bad the Twins lost again. Not! Edited August 10, 201114 yr by caulfield12
August 10, 201114 yr First time in 20 years that has happened for the Indians. Last time was in 1991, the famed Alex Cole was hit in the Steve Urkel goggles.
August 10, 201114 yr so what's going to happen? have we finally turned the corner? are we gonna return home and lay an egg again and yo-yo back out of it? 1 game below .500 AGAIN. Edited August 10, 201114 yr by buhbuhburrrrlz
August 10, 201114 yr C'mon Charlie Brown, kick the football. Oops, what happened? The winning run was the Indians' first since they scored two in the first inning. The game started at 7:06 p.m. and ended at 1:52 a.m. It was the Tribe's 13th walk-off win at home. They are 18-14 in games decided in the last at-bat. The Indians managed just three hits in the last 13 innings. The win went Frank Herrmann (3-0), the seventh and final reliever to pitch for the Tribe. If the game had gone to the 15th inning, Josh Tomlin was warming to enter. cleveland.com/sports Choo likely to come back next week. Sizemore, possibly back in September. 12 in a row at home against DET. Let's go, Indians. At least for 2 more games. Or do we want CLE to split with Verlander winning the final game? Sweeping DET would seem to be the preferable result, even if it keeps them in front of us. By the way, I bet not too many teams in MLB history have made the playoffs with a record of more than 5 games under .500 at home and more than 5 games over .500 on the road. Solutions? Stay in a hotel for home games and bus over together? Play in Milwaukee? Black/alternate jerseys at home? Switch dugouts? Tell Carlos to quit being "so intense" in front of home crowds, where he has sucked this season...and Gordon the last couple of years?? Trick Gavin into thinking home games are road games....like in "Goodbye, Lenin!"??? Edited August 10, 201114 yr by caulfield12

August 10, 201114 yr Or t-shirts with the color of the opposing team, reverse "black out." Obviously having more Yankees or Red Sox fans in the stadium SHOULD HAVE made them feel like they were on the road but that didn't exactly work out well.

That Yankees stadium did feel like a road series with all of their fans in their. Embarrassing.

August 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 09:28 PM) 7) Santos is becoming a monster Uh, he's already a monster. He has the nastiest out pitch in baseball. I thought it was interesting reading the article about him vs Marmol in the paper yesterday, Santos has been a much better pitcher so far in his career than Marmol was at this point, not to mention outperforming him this season.
August 10, 201114 yr Salentos! Thought that I might try that one. They are a mighty left/right combo. Take that opposing hitters. You just got smacked by Salentos.
August 10, 201114 yr It sounds like some kind of new snack chip....like a saltine cracker by Sun Chips. Not scary or intimidating at all. The Slidinators doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, either. Edited August 10, 201114 yr by caulfield12
