The tribe aren't going anywhere. See ole crooked hat Rodney give that game to Cleveland yesterday lol. I don't miss that fool.
Wish we had that zombie looking Santana though; the guy works pitchers deep in counts regularly and walks a lot and can still hit.

I'm back here because I got a email saying this site got sold! When did miami vice buy it? :dhd:
Slumpy is back and cbs still sucks I see.

I am still wondering what it's going to take to get Dozier an AB. I know he was a September callup, but he's likely going to be a key piece for next year in the lineup. Very arguably is better than Morales right now against righties.


Why is Gore not always on the team?

Dude is a game changer.

McCann is the best in baseball at throwing out runners. He had no chance with that lil munchkin.

Gore simply can't hit and is redundant when you have Dyson and now Burns so the argument goes. He's a great 25th man, but when your pitching sucks ass it's tough to justify a player like Gore on the 25 man. In a condensed series like the playoffs it's very easy to justify, however.

Id lose Burns in a heartbeat for Gore.

Someone draws a walk in the 7th or later, it's an automatic double. Especially with a manager like Ned who loves to push his luck.

I'd probably just trade Dyson and call it an afternoon. Burns is younger and cheaper. If they could ever get their shit together in the rotation Gore would probably be on the 25 man more consistently.

Sale on the mound for the White Sox...maybe they can help the Tribe out a little bit.

Gotta give the Tigers credit- in that- the Tribe has won 6 straight games and they are still hanging around.

Tribe has the reliever poo-poo-platter going today on the mound- i think with Clevinger with a very limited pitch count.

I'm just not much of a believer in Billy Burns really.

But didn't realize Dyson was 32.

sale is getting crushed so far.

Maybin got a homer stolen by Melky.

Iggy got a ball all the way to Frazier at third without it hitting the ground.

Miggy goes deep to right.

VMart ropes one past Abreu at first.

Need to pile on early before he settles down.

Okay checking the up the minute scores I see that the Tigers are up 2-1 over those Pale Hosers from the Windy City. The Tribe game hasn't started yet (doug already said the Indians will lose today, I'm sure he always right) but does anyone know if Detroit has the lead in the ALc yet?
