David Huff’s pitching tonight for Buffalo. 2 Ks in the 1st inning for Huff (both swinging). Scranton’s manager, who happens to be Alvaro Espinoza, got ejected following the first.

Huff strikes out the side in the 2nd. Two swinging, one looking.

I would like to preemptively request as much commentary as those with radio/tv can give, ‘cause I’m gonna be stuck with only Gameday and this thread tonight.

Someone in the White Sox pre-game just said the White Sox fans “are a special breed.” Can’t argue with that.

Given yesterday’s thread, win or lose tonight? I’m secretly backing Cliff to win number 12.
One day I'll get over to watch the Tribe play

HOORAY LINEUP.

to elaborate a little, this is the lineup I feel we should always go with when our “big” guys are out with injuries.
whether hafner is any good is another story.

So i´ve been in mexico for a while now, and although i´ve tried to keep up as much as possible, this lineup makes me a bit queasy. I just can´t believe i´m looking at it. Although i do see that i´m using an accent mark for my apostrophe´s. Not sure where those things are . . .and to think when i left i was telling everyone we would be no more than 2 out by the all star break. I feel sick.

I think my favorite part is the Guillen is clearly looking away while the player, can’t remember who, has his eyes shut.

I only got to watch the final, and that on replay late Sunday night after accidentally finding out what happened. Great game, though. I’m sort of glad I knew because I would have been really pissed at Germany for the first 70 minutes otherwise, when they seemed disinterested in playing.

Casey Double. We have to hand it to him, he is really doing everything he can for this team, maximizing his trade value here at the end

Ken Williams did well with the Danks trade. Amidst our own struggles, I’ve forgotten why Williams is so widely loathed in the first place. Nevertheless I’m rooting for that Chris Carter guy to become a monster.

Crede is a HOF from both a defensive and offensive standpoint, and to argue would make you a simpleton.
2 on for the Pale Hose. 1 out. Swisher batting.

Swisher’s beard doubles. Umpires rule Swisher must continue at-bat. He walks.

Blake and Swisher’s beard have passionate tryst.

Maybe it’s just one beard, which wouldn’t make it a tryst but…well, you know.

It’s really odd how well Thome has hit our lefties this season
by millionairesrow on Jul 1, 2008 8:37 PM EDT 0 recs
I have a confession to make guys. At the beginning of the season, I started to grow my “World Series beard”. I stuck it out for a while, but I think it is time for a change. It is too damn hot out for a beard, and the Indians are losing too much. My face is nice and soft now. I am not gonna say I jinxed the season, but today is the first day of the rest of the season.
