Even the replacement's replacements are falling. Jason Donald scratched with finger injury so Phelps bats 9th and plays 2b.

Beyond bizarre.

I have no interest in posting lineups if someone would like to do so.

At this point it's pretty much just nine guys vs. nine guys and a couple mediocre pitchers toeing the slab. I do have this from Bastian:

New Tribe 9: Carrera CF, Fukudome RF, Cabrera SS, Thome DH, Santana C, Duncan LF, Chisenhall 3B, LaPorta 1B, Phelps 2B. Huff SP.

Hell yeah, I bring the thunder.

If you need Johnny Gomes' % of inside pitches taken that might have been hit as a fly ball to the opposite field, i'm working on that.

Yikes! It's the Rookies, Re-treads and Misfits line-up! I'll be cleaning the bathroom while listening. At least MY end result will be a nice, shiny tub, a germ-free throne, and no spots on the mirror. AND bonus! no long tresses on the floor....

Over/under total runs this series for the Indians: 11.5.

For a guy with speed and a 'great' glove, Carerra is a really shitty base stealer and outfielder. ;-) ;) :wink:

Who ever said he had a "great glove"?

When he came up he was touted as the best defensive OF in the system. I'd hate to see the worst. Unless it's Shelley Duncan, which is possible and maybe even likely.

by **RedDawg53** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 8:27 pm

Zeke Carrera is bad at base running and fielding... at least he can bunt ::doh::

Not sure who's worse at their position. Phelps at 2B or Carrera OF/CF. Flip a coin

Jim Thome's mantra on ground balls is clearly to...

That may have actually been top speed for Jimmy. ;-) ;) :wink:

I gotta say I was wrong for hating on the Fukudome trade.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 8:39 pm

There's something sadly poetic about seeing a foul ball hit into an empty luxury box.

Harder these days to hit one into one that's occupied. Can say the same for regular seats tonight.

So I guess people think we're officially out of the playoff race? This joint is dead, all that's missing is the tumbleweed.

by **Erie Warrior** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 8:58 pm

Thome gets run over by the tumbleweed

by **RedDawg53** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 8:59 pm

Looks like Ludacris got the ball that left the park. Sucks for him once you leave, you cannot re-enter

Royals are beating Scherzer all over the yard. Their offense is scary talented for the foreseeable future.

I didn't see Rucker Park in that picture.

Slide away from the 2nd baseman yeah that helped Carlos

Didn't want the second baseman to step on the string from his tampon and accidentally pull it out of his vagina.

by **andrew6586** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:39 pm

This just in, Matt LaPorta and Cord Phelps still suck.

by **googleeph2** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:41 pm

C'mon fook, get on base and let's create a little pressure vs. this guy with Thome coming up.

That 11,000 is going to sound like 42,000.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:42 pm

Wooooo yeah fly you son of a bitch!!!! 1-0

by **FortheWin** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:42 pm

Man does Carrera have terrible speed or what!

by **andrew6586** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:42 pm

This also just in, Zeke Carrera is faster than most people.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:43 pm

Somebody better teach that kid how to slide. Holy fuck......

This just in, Zeke Carrera is faster than Usain Bolt. :hide:

No, he is just ALLOWED to leave early.

Joe Smith is :git:

The axeman cometh.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:58 pm

Since my anti-Santana Tweet, he's 2-for-2 with a two-strike single to CF and a bomb to RCF. He should let me follow him around talking shit all the time.

by **RedDawg53** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 10:00 pm

Carlos Santana showing the power (flex)

. Almost Pure Rage time, which is also my heart burn time

That 2nd run was large given exactly what you mentioned.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 10:04 pm

I'd rather not see Tony Sipp tonight.

Or Tony Smith as Underwood called him.

by **peeker643** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 10:05 pm

FortheWin wrote:Man does Carrera have terrible speed or what!

When speed equates to base stealing/running ability let me know. He's a 60% guy thus far. Not good.

But sure better him on 1B than LaPorta or Thome. ;-) ;) :wink:

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 10:05 pm

Over/under or number of "We want Head" signs confiscated by Tribe security?

by **skatingtripods** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 10:07 pm

What a shock, Tony Sipp comes in to a game with his head up his ass. Imagine that.

Hey, CDT, 2 posts away from 10,000. I expect an epic post for 10k.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 10:11 pm

I got nothing. It'll probably be more nonsense about midgets, Macedonians, or monkeys.

by **FortheWin** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 10:11 pm

Come on Sipp!!!!!!!!!! shit...
