Honestly, I think we can lose Vic for a few weeks easier than we can lose Grady. Shoppach is pretty good.
Dude, Vic is the best catcher in baseball.
In.

THIS IS BAD CC.
K's don't indicate a lot for CC, methinks. My perception is that he can always get K's. It's about whether he can get a lot of outs on BIP.
if we're hating on him, yes.

I find myself truly detesting the Tigers right now. I don't like their players and I don't like the fact they've already been anointed WS champs. F that. F Detroit. They've officially moved up my teams to hate in the Division list.
Now that the Bedard bandwagon has officially crashed into the Maritime Seas, solely the local "Barfield Bounces Back Believer."
But they haven't been anointed entirely.
In the ESPN predictions, nine people picked the Indians to win the Central, and nine picked the Tigers. Five picked the Indians to win the Wild Card, and five picked the Tigers.
Eight pick the Tigers to win the AL pennant, and only six pick the Indians. But look at who is picking whom:
Indians: Gammons, Neyer, Olney, Law, Nelson, Keri
Tigers: Stark, Crasnick, Phillips, Arangure, Rojas, Klapisch, Shea, Ravitz
So the Indians get picked by all the smartest and most respected writers, plus the only woman, while the Tigers get picked by all the known analytical morons and people you've never heard of.

Pay attention when TV shows a close-up of left handed hitters. There's an old man that sits in the front row that wears a neon colored baseball cap. I can't tell you what color, because he changes it every inning. It's awesome. My brothers and I noticed him last year during the playoffs, and then watched him all of Game 2 of the ALDS from the upper deck last year. He was just wearing yellow during Droob's at bat.

I love how the Detroit announcers keep talking about how Inge is a key player. On that team? Are they serious?
Now that the Bedard bandwagon has officially crashed into the Maritime Seas, solely the local "Barfield Bounces Back Believer."
Nice play. And he best part is that we didn't have to hear the Angels' announcer call him the Wizard of OC.
What's the magic number?
Too early? Okay, I'm not supposed to be posting until 6, but I got my makeup done early.
Actually isn't it 325?
Now that the Bedard bandwagon has officially crashed into the Maritime Seas, solely the local "Barfield Bounces Back Believer."
Not a math guy, but I'm pretty sure if we win 82 games and "2d place" loses 81, we clinch.

I just got home and I don't have any video of the game. Can someone please describe what happened to Victor and if there has been an update?
On a lighter note, how has Sabathia looked?
CC is getting K's but every time they hit the ball it's on a rope.
Vic pulled up lame with hamstring tightness trying to take second on a wild pitch.
C.C. has been decent, other than giving up two home runs to some guy who's well known for not being able to hit lefties.
Victor slid awkwardly into second and walked gingerly off the field, but he's probably fine.
