I feel like I did when I was a kid before a trip to Cedar Point. Couldn't sleep much last night.

Go Tribe!

Love that they're playing Wammer Jammer in the pre-game warmups.

by **andrew6586** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 3:49 pm

What the fuck does Josh Tomlin have growing on his face?

by **andrew6586** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 3:53 pm

Wow, there is nobody at the stadium. It's not game two yet, there can be more than 15,000 fans there.

Really? I'm at work and don't have a TV to look at.

Openeing day is usually packed no matter what, and it's a pretty nice day outside too.

People are still filling in and I'm sure it will be full. I was just surprised that 10 minutes until game time there were still 15000 seats empty.

Why did ESPN just text me that the game is delayed? It looks beautiful.

by **andrew6586** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:13 pm

Masterson looks nasty and composed. Me likey.

by **Symbolic47** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:25 pm

Hello everybody!

by **andrew6586** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:26 pm

Where is everybody today? Last year's opening day had 40 people contributing.

by **RedDawg53** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:27 pm

Masterson looks like a true Ace!

by **motherscratcher** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:29 pm

andrew6586 wrote:Where is everybody today? Last year's opening day had 40 people contributing.

Work.

It's unusual that I've even gotten to check in this much.

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:30 pm

I enjoy watching Santana look at 10 pitches every at bat.

by **bac5665** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:31 pm

This team just feels good today. I'm sure it's just the optimism talking, but something feels solid about this team.

It probably helps when Masty starts off with 3 Ks.

Your excuses are lame. You're probably just out campaigning that Chief Wahoo become the symbol for the entire city of Cleveland :hide:

by **andrew6586** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:35 pm

Shelly Duncan, MVP candidate. Too soon?

by **RedDawg53** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:35 pm

Sloth!

by **fairvis** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:36 pm

Nice hanging curve for Shelly...

by **andrew6586** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:38 pm

That'll work. Game over.

by **Symbolic47** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:40 pm

Nice Start for the Tribe here.

by **andrew6586** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:43 pm

Supermannahan!

by **bac5665** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:43 pm

That was pretty!

by **fairvis** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:43 pm

Hannahan... justifying the start?

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:44 pm

Manahan!

Romero really lost it quick.

by **Mr. X** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:44 pm

Mannahan!! You dog.

by **RedDawg53** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:46 pm

Romero was just HannaHAN'd... looks like Sloth is a better LF than Toronto's

by **andrew6586** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:46 pm

Someone needs to tell Hannahan that everyday is opening day. Also, these 4 runs this inning are more than all of the run support Masterson received last season.

by **RedDawg53** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:51 pm

I hope and pray that Masterson doesn't get too comfortable and give up the lead... like Faustoberto would

by **WiscTribeFan** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:51 pm

Peeker, Mr. Hannahan requests an apology.

:clap:

by **fairvis** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:52 pm

Woah, Katie looks like a bit of a train wreck today. Maybe it's just the MLB.TV feed.

by **Symbolic47** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:52 pm

Katie got goofier looking in the offseason.

by **Am I Here Again?** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:54 pm

Thinking the same thing about the run support. Masty has to love the fact that they've given him four to work with and, so far, his stuff is working. Go Tribe!

Also, hooked up the old computer 5-speaker set to the laptop in the basement. I swear my Red Sux neighbor next door can hear my game. HehHehHeh! Although with them playing the Deetroit Kitties today I'm kinda sorta rooting for them...

by **Mr. X** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:56 pm

Masty locked in now. He's fun to watch when the ball is moving like this.

by **andrew6586** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 4:57 pm

Looks like Choo got some ink this off season. Is it racist to think it's weird to see an Asian with tattoos?

I felt good about today as soon as I saw a box score without Buerhle facing us.

No, she looked like a train wreck last year's opening day and got better looking as the weather warmed up.

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:00 pm

Romero is throwing way across his body. Gonna hit some more lefties if he stays in.

by **andrew6586** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:03 pm

Looks like Choo is back on the sauce...

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:03 pm

Late break home.

After further review, not too bad.

by **RedDawg53** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:04 pm

Ahhhhhhhh Chooooooo ::doh::

by **andrew6586** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:07 pm

Like the protection from Masterson. Good to see someone protecting their hitters.

by **RedDawg53** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:07 pm

Masterson going to be suspended now?

by **T_N_T** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:13 pm

RedDawg53 wrote:Masterson going to be suspended now?

Rosey and Hammy were talking(joking) about that, also did anyone hear/see that the Indians are simulcasting on WMMS 100.7 now? Is that permanent? They are doing it today, not sure if they will do that all the time

Just saw a crazy stat. Barry Zito is 118-6 in his career when getting 4+ runs of support.

Given that he's pitched for the Giants the last few years, I'd imagine that not many of those games came from them...

Impossible. Barry Zito hasn't won a game in 5 seasons.

Nope, I'm all in on the Perezchicas.

I'll get working on a logo after I get home. Anyone who remembers my short lived "i love tots" modified avatar knows I've got photoshop skillz.

by **ClevelandFanInNewYork** » Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:23 pm

Masterson at 61 pitches through five....how far does he go?
