yes 4 Rs allowed. terrible game.

did Kazmir hit 85 mph on the gun? heard he lost some thing off his fast ball

Bagging on Kazmir is kind of pointless, pretty much anything the Indians get from him thats positive is a big plus.

 

[osubuckeye89]

Chisenhall might finally be taking a positive turn at the MLB level

he's hitting .291 with 3 HR and 14 RBIs while showing better plate discipline since being recalled in mid june

& maybe even put a W back in front of it

WINDIANS!

Get the sweep in spite of an awful outing from Uballso

51 wins at the break aint too shabby

coming out of the break they get 3 vs the Twins and 3 vs the Mariners....hopefully they can continue to build momentum against those two 9+ game under .500 teams

51 wins at the break aint too shabby

Considering last yr at the ASG we were at 44 wins - Id say we're in pretty good shape. Especially since we're shadowing the Tigs. Just somehow got to manage to take that a few steps ahead

Yep! Capt./Buckeye89 I am starting to feel real good about this team . Hitters regaining their form , Sp looking good and Perez looking real good since returning. Mac returning with good stats. We may pick up a key player by dead line also. Go Tribe .

This guy might now be the 2nd most famous Indian fan, behind Big John the drum guy.

Four balls usually earns you a walk at a baseball game, but for Greg Van Niel it added up to one remarkable day at the ballpark.

Van Niel caught four foul balls at the Indians' 6-4 win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
A season ticket holder, Van Niel actually wasn't in his usual seats on this unusual day.
"We weren't in our actual season ticket seats [Sunday]," Van Niel told ESPN. "We were one section over and it happened to be the lucky section [Sunday]."

Van Niel, who said he'd never caught a foul ball before Sunday, explained, "I caught three of them and one was a pick-up."
He kept the first three he corralled, but said he tossed the fourth one into the crowd because, "I had one for each of the kids that was with us."
The odds are one in a thousand just to catch one foul ball at any give game, according to ESPN Stats & Information. So what are the odds of one person catching four at a single game?
A cool one in a trillion, or simply a great day in Cleveland.

The Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays remain the front-runners for a trade with Chicago, according to industry sources. The Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Indians and San Francisco Giants have also expressed strong interest in the pitcher.

Highly doubtful we can compete with the payrolls the others have available...

The visual I get of Vice when hes posting:

 

[osubuckeye89]

If they can get a SP it would be nice, however I do not think they should go for broke in doing it.

Lindor should not be traded in any case

They should give Salazar some more starts....McAllister is rehabing in the minors and will be back which should help

 

[osubuckeye89]

Kipnis with an RBI double in his first all star AB (hopefully the first of many)

& a cpl key defensive plays

Damn shame Masty didnt get to throw a few balls though

 

[CaptO]

9 hrs til the first pitch...

Trade rumor: Peavy. No mention of who/what Chisox would get in return. Better not be Lindor &/or Salazar though...

 

[buckeyebill]

Did not catch the rumor Capt. Will talk later tonight Hope Kaz has another great game.

Just a rumor. Nothing out there in public (yet)

Heads up: Vice got banned for good from here this wk for coming back with an alt. He'll be blaming me & on our glog with a vengeance. Claims to be 31 & a businessman but goddam...he acts more like a teenage thug with a serious anger management problem

 

[CaptO]

This is fuckin hysterical. Somebody let out the Tribes room #s at the hotel. We got:

Carmen Electra
Dick Tracy
Tarr Zan
Jed Clampett
Jake Taylor
Denzell Washington
Mr. Romeo
S. Twain (probly Shania)

Note: Tito's real name not on this list so hes one the above. Guesses?

 

[buckeyebill]

Defense sucked. Kaz pitched a great game. Tracker ILK fucked up the live chat. only good thing TIGS Lose. Blew another chance to gain on Tigs that sucks

 

[CaptO]

Maybe KC can confound them again tomorrow

 

[buckeyebill]

Lets hope so go KC Kaz should receive an apology from his infield tonight. Bats were silenced today, lets hope they fire up tomorrow. WE need to kick start the second half with a series win?
