For those of you who are not very familiar with the Tribe (I happen to be a little familiar with them since my far better half is a diehard member of the Tribe and we watch them when the Astros aren't on TV), their 2 (Asdrubal Cabrera), 3 (Jason Kipnis) & 4 (Carlos Santana) are better hitters than their stats say that they are, especially Cabrera. Keep an eye on Kipnis--he's a future all-star in my opinion. he also will swipe some bags for you.

Their leadoff hitter, Choo, is a pretty good hitter and has a cannon out in RF. Brantley is a plus CF and a punch 'n judy hitter who's not going to hurt you but he'll annoy you by getting dink doubles well placed in the gaps and he can run pretty well too. Johnny Damon is done. In my opinion, he's got nothing left. I keep expecting the club to release him any day. Plus he's got one of the worst arms in LF you'll ever see. But who is Acta's alternative-Shelly Duncan? Clark should send every body (except Snyder) on any ball hit to LF because Damon even has trouble getting the ball to the cutoff man-his arm has looked that bad-everyone else has been windmilling their base runners home on balls hit to LF. Casey Kotchman is, well, Casey Kotchman-decent glove guy but a real offense liability at 1B. This kid Chisenhall at 3B has a little pop in his bat, but he's not been up that long.

Jiminez, their series opener starter, has been lit up many times this season. He doesn't look like the same pitcher that he was in Colorado. I don't know what happened to him, but he's been pretty vulnerable so far this season. Thankfully, we miss their ace, Masterson, in this series-he's been very good so far. Derek Lowe has been hanging in there, but he's been popped around a bit lately. You never know what you're going to get with Gomez. He has okay stuff (he pitches to contact-not a big strikeout guy) but is just very inconsistent. They have a fairly solid bullpen. Their seventh inning guy (Joe Smith), eighth inning guy (Vinnie Pestano) and closer (Chris Perez) have been pretty consistently good, particularly Perez.

A real contrast between the two teams. Cleveland is playing its ass off. Houston is the king of the mail in.

Schreefer swipes a bag. Cuzzi, who I used to drink a little with when he was in NO while in the PCL, is behind the plate tonight. It can get interesting with him back there.

Actually, it was a 1-4-3-6-2 double play.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

No doubt. He has been flashing it throughout the year.  This is the first game where he has used his breaking ball this much. Getting it in on the lefties real well tonight.

It would be nice to get him some runs.

I was so stunned by the stupidity of the base running that I just forgot the first carom off of Jiminez.

Actuall, it was perfect baserunning. What did you want different?

Jimenez comes in with a 5 ERA, and 46 walks in 76 innings, and we can't do anything with our traffic. What a fucking shame.

There were two outs by the time he reached third. You want him to stand at third base and watch third out made in a rundown?

It often is the case that a player makes a big play in the field and then follows it up with a base hit in the same inning.

Johnson called for it, Snyder backed off then so did Johnson.  That's the 3bman's ball, if he can get it.

Lincecum's given up three hits, two walks and three runs in the first.

I predict that he's on his way to Sacramento to join their rotation. This'll be the last one they let him start for the Giants anytime soon.

I spoke too soon. Lincecum battened down the hatches and has pitched no hit ball since the first inning. We'll have to see if that continues tonight, but he's probably guaranteed himself another start at least. I hope that he turns it around. The Giants do need him. Badly. But as badly as he's been throwing this entire season, he'll be on a short leash if they're going tot catch the Dodgers.

He could use a start against Houston

Right now the Astros are definitely the cure for what ails you.

Anemic, impotent, comatose.  This offense is offensive.

On the bright side, Sandusky hit .938 tonight on the scales of justice.
