That is an ugly-ass lineup!

[motherscratcher]

Carlos Santana was put on the 7 day Concussion DL list.

So, Laser Lou better start hitting.

[andrew6586]

I will delete my thread. We will let it be Daz's fault when the Tribe gets no-hit

[motherscratcher]

What is more depressing? Jose Lopez as the cleanup hitter? Or the fact that there doesn't appear to be a better option available?

[bac5665]

Well three of us made threads at the same time.

I'll delete mine.

How about the fact that we called up a guy batting .222 in AA to fill a roster spot and pinch run, only to have him start a day later.

[WiscTribeFan]

The lineup makes me sad.

Lowe's gotta love his chances for a win today.

Watch, we'll score 12.

[motherscratcher]

OT

LOL - Fuckin' Wedge. Some things never change:

http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/05/25/eric-wedge-sits-dustin-ackley-on-his-bobblehead-day/

Tonight is Dustin Ackley bobblehead night at Safeco Field. However, Ackley isn’t playing. Manager Eric Wedge said he’s resting his second baseman, even though the Angels are throwing a right-hander.

Which is just plain stupid.

Reminds of when he gave DH Travis Hafner a day off a few years back (for no real reason)in the midst of an incredible hot streak (that's how I remember it anyway). It was like dunking him in a cauldron of ice water.

[British_Pharaoh]

Our lineup is rough

[bac5665]

And Lowe picks today to have an off day.

Shit.

[Bigfist]

I smell a perfect game in the making.

[dazindiansfanuk]

Well, fuck me!!!

We just put up a 5-spot..... it's a miracle!

[bac5665]

That was the most accidental HR I've ever seen.

I can't believe it.

[drum]

Lowe just doesn't have it today. Up up up

[drum]

I appreciate the invitation but I'll pass.

It is going to be a long day, and a good one for fantasy owners

[drum]

Lowe just doesn't have it today. Up up up

Lowe doesn't have it today. Up up up

[British_Pharaoh]

Worst time for Lowe to go to what he will likely be for most of the season. I really hate the Sox and really want to win this series. Chicago are on one of those hitting streaks that will make the dumb asses at ESPN believe they are legit contenders (which they are not)

yep, i can see it coming.

Well, wait, that would involve news concerning the AL Central not about the Tigers.

[British_Pharaoh]

Witness the Kipnis

[drum]

done and done

[andrew6586]

It's good to be home, Jason.

[Am I Here Again?]

Each time I'm just about ready to give up on this game (but not quit listening...I know better, I'm a Tribe fan!) our guys do something to give me hope we can win this. OK, back to drinking kool-aid.

[justmebd]

At this point, I'm thinking a final score of 12-10, but I couldn't tell you who's going to win.

[andrew6586]

Brilliant pitching by Accardo. Probably the first time anyone has ever said that.

[British_Pharaoh]

Wow! Konerko just did that?? Awful play there from the Indians

[drum]

;-) ;) :wink: Each time I'm just about ready to give up on this game (but not quit listening...I know better, I'm a Tribe fan!) our guys do something to give me hope we can win this. OK, back to drinking Antifreeze.

Fixed for me

[Am I Here Again?]

Smiff should have turned around and gone back into the pen for today's game too:

Thanks. If you don't mind I'd prefer Bourbon. More fun with the same knock-out results.

I don't mind, in fact I'm having a Summer Shandy as we speak

[drum]

Sipp looks nervous every time he comes in

[drum]

well, no matter what we get out of Chitown in first place...

[dazindiansfanuk]

With this lineup, figured we'd score no runs.... we rack up 7 and the pitching and defense stinks up the joint..... typical!

[Spin]

I like it better when Joe Smith is blowing up in beer joints than in the game.

I can hear him yelling at the Sox "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM???" while they were bludgeoning the baseball.

[RedDawg53]

Opening Day last season. Tribe got their asses kicked by the CHW in the first 2 games..... then the Indians went on to kick asses themselves and played very good baseball. Hope history repeats itself... Minus the wheels falling off

[Cerebral_DownTime]

That Viciedo guy looks like he's going to be a beast.

[Pabo]

Today's lineup. My goodness. Regardless of the circumstances, if your lineup looks like this--even if it was just one day--you just cannot look at that team as a serious contender for anything. I'm glad they were on the road for this, 'cause no one wants to pay money to see this kind of horsebleep.

[Am I Here Again?]

And yet they score seven runs. Go figure...
