Oh, joy.

Of course that's the precise time I get my MLB TV broadcast to start working ... ugh

I haven't seen a minute, only just now caught the score. Going over to Turk's to catch the rest.

Crap, wha happen?

We may have to have more threads w/ fewer posts, maybe they'll run faster.

Okay, what do we know here.

Vic was stealing (?!)

He walked off under his own power.

Steel Nick

by nickjs21 on Mar 31, 2008 3:56 PM EDT   0 recs

He wasn't stealing, it was a wild pitch.

wild pitch, would have gotten there easily except for he pulled up

Please God, let Vic be ok.

He was not stealing. AJ lost the ball.

for both teams, this strike zone is just abysmal.

by ASP on Mar 31, 2008 3:57 PM EDT   0 recs

I think we should just go ahead and quit the season. Turn off the lights. Trade CC. Fire ... someone.

Steel Nick

by nickjs21 on Mar 31, 2008 3:57 PM EDT   0 recs

Honestly, I think we can lose Vic for a few weeks easier than we can lose Grady. Shoppach is pretty good.

by afh4 on Mar 31, 2008 3:57 PM EDT   0 recs

I agree, but I am still hoping for the best.

Dude, Vic is the best catcher in baseball.

In.

Yeah but I think you could argue C is our best "awesome player" position to take an injury.

by afh4 on Mar 31, 2008 4:00 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i disagree. vic over a replacement is one of the places where the tribe has the largest advantage. over shop, its less so, but its still a huge dropoff

I heard Shapiro on the pre-game show today. "Kelly Shoppach is a top fifteen catcher." He said "championship caliber."

POWER ON.

Er, hope his agents wasn't listening.

Can we just have a rule in April for Hafner and Victor? Don't run too hard on the bases till May rolls around!

by crazymoloh on Mar 31, 2008 3:58 PM EDT   0 recs

If Hafner hits, Vic can take all the time he needs.

Where's Voltaire? Call Vic hitting two home runs on Wednesday.

Jobu is punishing us for laughing at the Tiger's injury woes.

I'm still laughing.

I swear, next year is it.

This is why I didn't get happy about Granderson's injury!

Anyone listening to the Indians feed want to provide updates? I have a feeling Hawk & DJ aren't going to be full of info on Victor's status.

we'll let you know, rest assured.

I fear for the hamstring of Victor Martinez.

I swear, next year is it.

by fwembt on Mar 31, 2008 3:59 PM EDT   0 recs

was it the home opener last year as well that Victor got hurt? And the game didn't even end up counting.

Running down the first base line, everyone in the crowd start yelling at the ump to call the game

Do the Tigers really have like 8 players on their bench? What's up with that?

Wasn't he pitching for an NL playoff team last year?

by Toxicadam on Mar 31, 2008 4:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

No. He was on Colorado but posted a 12.36 ERA. I don't think he pitched in the postseason.

you're probably thinking of danny bautista.

by afh4 on Mar 31, 2008 4:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

WOW.

I leave my desk for 12 minutes, thinking, "C'mon Droobs, do something."

And it turns into a flat-out, all-around ball stomping.
