Making his fourth start against the White Sox this year will be Cleveland's Justin Masterson (9-7, 2.69 ERA). The right-hander is 1-2 against Chicago in 2011 despite a 1.23 ERA over 22 innings.

Humber is a righty. 0-4 with a 7.51 ERA in his last five starts.

The Sox are 27-34 at home.

No Chisenhall?

Not a bad lineup at all. Would love to pull within 1 going into detroit.

by **bookelly** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 8:35 pm

I want Marson at C every day. The kid is just beautiful behind the plate. LaPorta is a fungus.

Big game right here. Cmon boys lets win this damn series so we can shove it up hawks ass.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 8:50 pm

We should win this one easily with masty on the hill, no AJ and no Quentin and the fact that Humber has been atrocious in his last few starts. He has given up at least 4 runs in each of his past 5 starts with a 7.51ERA over that period.

On the flip side, none of our boys have faced him in the Majors so that may work for him (even if only the first couple of times through the order.)

Perfect opportunity to close to within 1.5 games of Detroit (Tigers don't play tonight.)

Got an OT question. In today's Tribe site news there was a blurb about Sipp getting tossed from the game on Tuesday. It happened after Bell apparently missed an out call at first. The article reads: Following the play, Acta headed to the mound and pulled Sipp from the game. As the lefty walked off the mound, he continued to bark at Bell, who started walking toward the pitcher. Before Sipp reached the dugout, Bell ejected him from the game. Sipp then threw his glove down in anger and continued to yell at Bell near first base before leaving the field.

WHY would the ump throw Sipp out while he is leaving the field because Manny is changing pitchers? The ONLY reason I can come up with is because the ump was throwing his weight around (and THAT is an awful lot of avoirdupois). But if there is a real baseball reason why would one of you guys enlighten me? Thanks!

Was Kipnis a late scratch?

by **Spanky** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:14 pm

Exercising authority so as not to set a precedent where pitchers can M.F. the ump all they want after getting taken out.

Yes. No word on why.

by **Spanky** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:16 pm

Kipnis wasn't on the final line up card that was handed in to the umps before the game.

Want the much better defensive 3B in Hannahan with the ground ball machine in Masterson.

I hate infield singles.

He just said Dunn is on his way to Cooperstown. Guy is hitting .164 :thud:

by **Symbolic47** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:28 pm

Did they really just call Yankee stadium a pitcher's park?

But he is batting .333 (11 of 33) vs. the indians this season. :thud:

Do you think Hawk realizes what a dip shit he is?

He made be the biggest douche I have ever known.

by **TribeinLA** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:32 pm

Damn it why is Kip a late scratch?

Hawk you suck.

And La Porta 0-4, 2K odds? I'll say 80 percent chance of.

Shit, that sucks.

Hopefully Humber is fine.

by **TribeinLA** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:33 pm

WOW. I have never seen a play quite like that. Herb Score is looking down and wincing.

Sorry to be THAT guy but I hate the Sox and Hawk so....

HE GONE!

by **skatingtripods** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:34 pm

That ball was smoked.

Good to see Fukudome rip a 3-1 pitch somewhere. Not good to see it was off Humber's head.

by **Symbolic47** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:34 pm

Wow I bet his heart is racing 40 million miles er hour. Came about two inches from spending the next month in the hospital.

by **redneckofsc** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:35 pm

I can't belive that douche once played for the Indians. Probably the biggest piece of shit to put on a Tribe uniform....even bigger than Keith Hernandez

by **andrew6586** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:36 pm

Wow that's scary as shit. I hope he's ok.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:36 pm

How is he not dead?

by **TribeinLA** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:37 pm

Keith Hernandez as an Indian or Jack Morris as an Indian? Who sucked harder?

Who are you talking about?

by **TribeinLA** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:38 pm

LaPorta and his bat throwing syndrome.

Damn, let's take out the whole team. Fukudome sliding hard into Beckham would work.

by **Symbolic47** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:39 pm

Well we are clearly trying to murder the entire Sox team tonight.

by **redneckofsc** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:39 pm

Too bad that bat or ball couldnt have hit Hawk.

by **skatingtripods** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:39 pm

LaPorta is horrible.

So La Typical.

Fungus = Laporta potty.

by **Symbolic47** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:40 pm

God damn LaPorta

by **redneckofsc** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:40 pm

Yes, he sucks. Do we have any 1B in the minors that will be ready anytime soon?

Can we bring Danny Peoples back?

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:42 pm

They need a trap door that opens up and the pitcher can sink down to avoid these situations.

by **skatingtripods** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:42 pm

Good AB from Hannahan.

Why not just let robots pitch?

That's what they should so. Have it controlled by the catcher. Plus it gets rid of the biggest pussies in sports.

by **Symbolic47** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:44 pm

Id love to shove a can of corn down Hawks throat.

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:46 pm

Because this team intends to compete for the next two seasons, there's no time to wait and see if LaPorta finds it. They have to cut the cord this offseason and find a right-handed guy to play at first. He doesn't have to be a stud, just a guy who can hit in the seven-spot in the line-up, play solid defense and not suck.

He doesn't even have to be a guy who plays every day, because you can stick Santana there three or four times a week. Just a solid hitter who fits.

LaPorta can't be a bench player and he hurts the team far too much to play every day.

by **Symbolic47** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:48 pm

I wonder is sox fans like Hawk?

by **FortheWin** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:49 pm

Humber was hit above his right eye. He's alert and reponsive and he was taken out for precautionary reasons.

Kipnis was scratched with tightness in his right Hamstring.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:50 pm

walk the rookie on 4 pitches...well done
