How is 17-1 working out for you?

Last year if the Tribe got ahead 5-0 in the 3rd inning nobody would have suggested that the game was blown open. But with Tomlin this year a 5-run lead feels pretty comfortable.

Tomlin just needs two more outs and they can let Durbin and Germano finish it out. Too bad Marte isn't around - this would be a good chance to find out if that 1-2-3 inning last year was a fluke.

Enjoying it. But keep adding on. Ride the momentum.

I

Tomlin. How does he do that voodoo that he does so well?

Gamers have talent. Grinders are no talent, slow, flat footed over achievers that get by through hard work and tongue the manager's balls.

A grinder is basically the fat girl, that just has to try harder.

You forgot white. Grinders are always white. Wedge law.

Those birds behind homeplate are at least interesting to watch.

No way, save some runs for tomorrow. Too bad they didn't stick with the original plan of starting Mazzaro tomorrow. His ERA went from 4.50 to 22.75 in one hour. I wonder if that's a record.

ACab with a leadoff double. Geez, here we go again. Maybe even Choo will get a hit.

I'd be putting Everett in for Uncle OCab. The Royals emptied their bench, no reason why we shouldn't.

by **Prosecutor** » Mon May 16, 2011 11:20 pm

'Bout time Choo got a hit. This game wouldn't be so close if he would just do his job

The Royals have to play six games in the next six days. With the way the Tribe is wearing out their bullpen tonight this game is going to affect them possibly beyond this two-game series.

by **Prosecutor** » Mon May 16, 2011 11:26 pm

Another pinch hit two-run double for Duncan. Soooo predictable.

by **bookelly** » Mon May 16, 2011 11:30 pm

Buck was laughing at that out call at first. Guess there is a mercy rule in MLB after all.

by **redneckofsc** » Mon May 16, 2011 11:31 pm

Anyone know when the last time we scored this many runs?

by **davemanddd** » Mon May 16, 2011 11:32 pm

look, i realize that the tribe's up 19-1, but geez that was a horrible call there on travis buck. i mean dude was safe and already past the bag when the ball got there and yet the first base ump called him out??? who is that guy, don denkinger???

ump's got early dinner reservations after the game and just wanted to hurry things along.

by **XUDawg** » Mon May 16, 2011 11:37 pm

I think they're tired of our guys' eight pitch at-bats. I mean, look at the Royals. That inning was FAST. Our grinders never stop grinding. Can't blame them. They play the game the right way...

Anybody else glad we never have to hear that shit anymore?

by **bookelly** » Mon May 16, 2011 11:39 pm

A win tomorrow, which is hopefully more likely as they're gonna have to get a AAA pitcher up, could really put a foot firmly on the Royals necks.

umps wanna go home, he was out even if the 1st baseman dropped the ball

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Mon May 16, 2011 11:43 pm

has anybody looked at the AL East standings lately? they are pretty interesting :salute:

by **XUDawg** » Mon May 16, 2011 11:45 pm

If anybody in baseball history could make this game interesting, it's Germano.

Tribe averaging over 6 runs a game over the last 3 days.

If Bud didn't institute a mercy rule after this http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=240831110 or this http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=290418110, we probably won't get one tonight. Unless if he feels really bad for KC fans in general.

Yes. I am glad I dont have to hear that shit anymore. But I dont know what I miss the least, that, or Shapiro babbling on about spending when the time is right, etc.

actually over the last 3 days they are averaging 19 runs a game ;-) ;) :wink:

LaPorta had a pretty good day. 4/4, 4 RBI, 1 run, 1 BB... raised his average up to .274.

by **peeker643** » Mon May 16, 2011 11:51 pm

As Buff just noted on Twitter, Germano is 6 outs away from the Wes Littleton save tonight.

Tremendous.

I'm pulling for him.

by **XUDawg** » Mon May 16, 2011 11:53 pm

And the Royals swinging half-assed at everything thrown at them is a good confidence booster.

by **XUDawg** » Mon May 16, 2011 11:55 pm

Choo improving his numbers Casey Blake-style tonight.

by **XUDawg** » Tue May 17, 2011 12:06 am

I guess nobody but me is sticking around for the dramatic ending.

Our son called this evening and like a good mom I talked to him. Silly me. It was top of the 4th and we were up 8-0. I come back 38 minutes later to find out that Tomlin had given up a run??? Sheesh... At least at that point we were up 17-1. :woot:

Boy this was fun but I hope we were using the runs that had been assigned the the two rain-outs and not for the next three coming up.

Before tonight's game started Tribe was scoring 4.89 runs a game. After tonight's the average went up to 5.26. Seems like barely a blip for all the work.

Nope, just 22. 14 runs in the 2nd inning in a game started by Chien-Ming Wang.

Vazquez wasn't white. Although he was whiter than Brandon Phillips.

Yesterdays win, combined with Philly's loss, gives the Tribe the best record in baseball again. 1 game over Philly, 2.5 over TB for best in the AL.
