CJ Wilson has a good record against us.

10+ Tribe Ks today

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:01 pm

Forgot to post the pitcing matchup

Mitch talbot vs. C.J. Wilson
Wilson is 3-0 with a 4.38 ERA in day games

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:08 pm

Good effort Matt, but not even close lad.

by **statmasta** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:10 pm

I hate Matt LaPorta so much.

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:10 pm

Choo might not be hitting but his defense is still great

Still? His defense has never been great. He has a strong arm but that's it.

His swan dive got a 6 from the Russian judge though.

His arm is great..... he defense as a whole is, at best, an adventure!

No joke, all I want for my birthday is a win. Is that too much to ask?

by **statmasta** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:20 pm

Free Cord Phelps.

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:20 pm

Get this guy out of the everyday lineup.

Either that or tell him to stop chopping down at the god damn ball.

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:20 pm

Free.

Cord.

Phelps.

Please.

Yes.

OCab now 3 for his last 23. Why is he hitting 2nd?

I know, his average against lefties is still very good and they finally moved Choo out of the 3 hole so they had to move somebody up. There's just no good solution right now. I'm not sure it makes any difference how they stack the lineup when a quality left-hander is on the mound.

Interesting that Washington decided to rest Josh Hamilton today. You'd think with lefties hitting .400 against Talbot they would want Hamilton in the lineup. What that tells me is that Washington is confident the Tribe won't score many runs, if any, against Wilson, and he's also confident their other hitters will get to Talbot.

So far Ranger lefties are 3-for-4 against Talbot, including a HR, so it looks like they won't need Hamilton. Talbot needs to limit their lefties to singles and get their righties.

by **motherscratcher** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:41 pm

Holy shit. Did you guys see those...um...tracks of land?

by **statmasta** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:41 pm

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:43 pm

What shit!

by **shamwow imitator** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:43 pm

Go home, Rangers...I'm sick of playing this team
Still have 6 against them in Arlington :gah:

by **Am I Here Again?** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:49 pm

Great. The team's pitching has gone south, our hitters can't hit (Santana, ya can't MAKE contact with the ball unless you SWING for the ball...) and now there are head games going on between the pitcher and catcher. At least LaPorta pulled his head out for a play. Go Tribe!

by **Prosecutor** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 2:56 pm

Cumulative series score is up to 24-6, if I'm not mistaken. What a beatdown. This is a reality check if I ever saw one. It's easy to see which team went to the World Series last year.

Still waiting for that first Tribe base hit. Great defensive play by LaPorta, though.

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:01 pm

Hey Cj Wilson is throwing a no hitter!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:03 pm

This is wank. Where's my roast dinner so I can fuck off

by **statmasta** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:10 pm

by **Mr. X** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:11 pm

Welp this game should help the Free Cord Phelps movement.

This is pathetic to watch.

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:29 pm

This is falling apart at an alarming rate here. Not a good sign at all. This was basically my biggest worry, and its coming true. Acta and Atooinetti need to act now before things tailspin. The good news is our division still sucks, and we should hang around all year. But its painfully obvious we are not the best team in the league now. Not even close. We have got a very long way to go. We need our next youth infusion. Phelps, Chiz, Kip, Pom, Mcallister and Hagadone need to get some consideration asap.

How Long is the Manahan out for?
Trotting O-cab and AE in the same lineup reminds me of the Aaron Boone, trot nixon days :(
Our starting pitching is falling apart. Carmona just blows, Talbot is maybe a decent BOR starter, and CARCAR is a headcase just like Carmona.

Call up Phelps AND Mcallister TODAY

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:35 pm

Talbot has kept us in this game. WAAAAAKE UP and earn your dollars lineup.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:37 pm

Detroit losing but that will bring the Sox just 6 game sback if we lose this one.

I fear Chicago more. They have good hitters and when they sort out that pen they will have decent pitching.

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:38 pm

Tim timmons is a terrible Ump if that many players get mad at him

by **statmasta** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:39 pm

This is so bad.

He had two blown calls at 1B yesterday. One was blown, the other was a make-up call. Manager came out both times.

He's not good.

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:42 pm

Cabrera is 4 hits away from 2000. Is he ever going to reach that?

by **motherscratcher** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:44 pm

There she is again

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:48 pm

Get him out of there!!

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:51 pm

Bout the best effort we could ask for from Mitch against this lineup.

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:54 pm

This will probably turn out bad :(

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:55 pm

Somebody give these guys an aluminum bat!

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:56 pm

Or maybe it doesn't! LETS GET SOME RUNS IN THE BOTTOM OF THIS NOW!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:56 pm

Nice job Smiff

Some runs would be nice please!

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:56 pm

Nice work by Joe Smith.

Can we please build off some momentum now?

by **statmasta** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 4:03 pm

Shelley Duncan, please hit a home run.

by **statmasta** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 4:07 pm

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 4:07 pm

Ugly, ugly AB.

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 4:08 pm

Double wasted.
:pb:

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 4:11 pm

Guys.... just crack open a drink.... it makes it much easier to watch!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 4:19 pm

LaPorta kearns and Everett. Just the guys you want to start a rally

Grady better PH for Kearns. I don't care if Wilson is a lefty

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 4:20 pm

Nice job putting that ball in play, and he gets a hit.

Woo!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 4:22 pm

First time I think we've seen a defensive swing to put the ball in play from LaPorta all season...... it's definitely more fun to watch than his wild flailing hacks at balls in the dirt.
