Cleveland @ Chicago
Cleveland at Chicago, 8:11 PM (STO)
Michael Aubrey gets another start, and gives the lineup that extra power presence that it's been lacking. Here's the batting lines of the hitters after Martinez:
.227/.312/.382
.225/.279/.430
.200/.200/.800 (SSS)
.228/.315/.378
.177/.270/.242

Screw the numbers.
We’re gonna flatten these jerks.
Irrational optimism mode: ON.

Good to see Blake is still in there. He absolutely CRUSHES Vazquez to the tune of:
227/346/273
2….. 73…..

Throw Pronk in there at .221 and you have a regular Murderer’s Row!

I put these notes in the other thread, but they belong here.
Weglarz “crushed” a ball to left center. (He’s a lefty)
Lake County sweeps a DH.
And Shapiro is in attendence in Akron watching Borowski, Huff, and Hodges. Huff throwing fine, but just gave up a HR and nearly a second one. And, for what it’s worth, Crowe is playing.
Minor league bats reawakening…good sign?

LOVE the approach from Grady so far. If we’re going down, let’s go down swinging.

Wow…a K for Sizemore…what a surprise!!!!

OMG. Detroit has scored nine runs. NINE
I didn’t even know you were allowed to score that many IN A WEEK, let alone a GAME!!

Hafner had a good batting practice session, according to Wedge via Tom Hamilton. Call me an irrational optimist, but I’m buying it!

Screw Proon, that was Pronk-styles right there. So close.

I liked 3 out of 4 of those at-bats.

I’m going to be home in Ohio this weekend and being able to sit and actually watch a game is one of the things I’m most looking forward to.

Sooo….what was the deal with the FanPosts today? Some quality content in there haha. Seems like every idiot decided to show up and make suggestions that we’ve only heard a million times. My favourite was when the one guy asked everyone to keep the conversation serious.

Minor leaguer in the San Francisco system, wasn’t he? Can’t hit a home run if you put it on a tee.

KEEP AUBREY AWAY FROM EVERYONE. He needs to be completely removed from the general populace of the Indians bench, lest he catch whatever seems to be going around.
by gte619n on May 21, 2008 8:34 PM EDT 0 recs
He’s still got the same dumb look on his face as before.

If you would add shrieking and ducking whenever the ball comes at him, Blake would have looked like me on that play.
