[The Math God]

[dmcdougal]

Well i'm in college and I don't have class tomorrow until noon so I can afford to stay up late. I just wish I could watch it instead of listening on the radio. I hope the owners made progress this week (Jeff Passan said they were going to talk about blackouts).

[skatingtripods]

I've got 3 finals on Thursday. 12, 2, and 6. I'm trying to shoot for being done with my 2 p.m. one by 3:15 to give myself plenty of time to get back to my room for the Tribe game, and hopefully it'll be a quick pitchers' duel and it'll be over in a little over two hours so I can make my 6 p.m. and then the teacher, who is the PR guy at FSN, is having an end-of-class thing at B-Dubs, where I will watch the Sabres-Senators game one.

Now that's a college student's day!

[skatingtripods]

Chuck Lofgren is dealing in Binghamton. Just lost his no hitter in the 6th, but has a one-hitter going. Akron's up 3-0 on the strength of HRs by Asdrubal Cabrera and Ryan Goleski.

Edit: milb.com just updated. Lofgren goes 6.2 in the 7 inning first game of a DH. 1 ER on 3 hits, walked 3, punched out 5.

Crowe with another 0-fer, going 0-4 dropping his average to .174.

[skatingtripods]

For those of you upset with Blake batting second, I refer you to St. Louis' #2 hitter tonight. It's the great Ryan Ludwick!

Good job in the clutch from VMart...again.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

ryan ludwick is still in the pros? lol who knew

id personally rather have choo playing then blake

say wut u want about choo or is defense but i liek him much better then "K"sey Blake

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

VIC with the JACK!!!!!!!


2-0 tribe

[Wahoot]

I don't particularly like the result, but I'm glad Garko had the greenlight on 3-0.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

well there goes the perfect game for lee

[consigliere]

This just in: Victor is good.

I still can't believe there were some calling for him to be traded in the offseason.

[skatingtripods]

Victor is the most underrated player on this team. All of the talk nationally, and locally, is always Hafner and Sizemore. Victor is the best pure hitter on this team in my opinion.


Holy fuck, Blake with a hit with RISP. WOW!

[consigliere]

Holy fuck, Blake with a hit with RISP. WOW!

Are there frogs falling from the sky?

[skatingtripods]

Are there frogs falling from the sky?

Yes. And lions, and tigers, and bears. Oh my!

[skatingtripods]

Hafner with the hat trick in three plate appearances.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

WHAT!?!?!?

and you thought I made some dumb comments

[Dozen]

This just in: Victor is good.

That was prolly more directed at his throwing runners out, but he does call a good game and has handled pitchers very well. This is something I tend to overlook when wanting him to play more 1b. But no way should that be a consideration (trade).......he's the heart of this squad.

[skatingtripods]

Hamilton just jinxed Cliff. God damnit Tom, come on.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

that jinx stuff is fooey lol

someone already said it somewhere in the world after 2 or 3 innings lol

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

although i WAS at a colon no hitter through like 6 or 7 innings and some old dude said "hes got a no hitter going" right behind me


wouldnt ya know it that 2 pitches later they got a hit

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

im tired

should i stay up until and IF they get a hit?

ill kcik my self if i were to miss somehting special

[skatingtripods]

Hamilton said it three times in the 5th. I'm not really expecting it, but I like to think that it's better not to say it.

[skatingtripods]

Man, Garko sucks at first. No errors in 180some chances. I wish he'd start fielding better.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

"hey jerry have you seen my championship ring?"

"o wow"

"MORE FOOD"

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

yea that hopper where he let the ball get dirty is a disgrace

[skatingtripods]

Of course, the catcher breaks it up. Sigh. Ah well, keep the shutout Cliff.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

DAM!!!


bed time now

GO TRIBE

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

Lee is going to bust out in this one.....

watch and see

I still was right

GO CLIFF

[consigliere]

Damn you Underwood.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

lets keep it together now cliff

3-1

[skatingtripods]

Why is it always the stiffs? Who the hell is Reggie Willits? Who the hell is Mike Napoli? Come on. It could've at least been Cabrera and then Guerrero.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

paul byrd should have a no hitter if it wasnt for hargrove

[skatingtripods]

Is anyone else just waiting for the Cliff Lee 6th/7th inning implosion that we all know and love?

Sorry for being pessimistic.

You're not being pessimistic, you're citing historical precedent.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

lets hope wedgy doesnt let it get too out of hand......

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

GRADY is 11/11

i think.......

hes so bad ass lol

[Wahoot]

Anyone watching on MLB.com Gameday? Looks like they've added some new data, including pitch speed, break, and something called pFX (?). You can also mess with the camera angles. Kind of cool.

[skatingtripods]

Is Travis Hafner going to realize that he will not get a first pitch fastball with first base open at any point this season?

Give him a day off Wedge.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

HAFNER WIFF TRACKER: 4 in 4 at bats

[Wahoot]

Let's just say this isn't Hafner's best game.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

hafner is starting to look like pedro cerrano


if its not a fastball its ugly!!

[skatingtripods]

Let Grady DH and Gutierrez can go play CF for a day. Hafner's really pressing. He just needs a day to sit back and not get pissed. I'm just waiting for a Tanaka moment where he breaks his bat over his head.

haha that moive was on earlier i wacthed it

it got me ready for the game.

[Wahoot]

Actually, I'm glad Travis played tonight. Because it's the first time I've ever seen someone strike out on a pitch that HITS them.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

Lee looks fantasic after just 3 pitches


get the pen up!!

[skatingtripods]

As Hamilton go brilliantly noted, that wild pitch set up our first run.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

ok he got some help from the halos


1-2-3!
