Garko’s in the lineup, so no Marte.

No Dellucci either – the four actual outfielders are in the lineup.

by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 6:49 PM EDT   0 recs

If Dellucci ever appears in a game that does not feature multiple injuries for the Indians again, it will be too soon.

Il faut d'abord durer.

by CU Adam on Jul 25, 2008 7:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I’m overly excited tonight for some reason. No Marte has me coming down to earth a bit though.

by ahowie on Jul 25, 2008 7:05 PM EDT   0 recs

I guess I’ll start it off.

Kliff!

by ahowie on Jul 25, 2008 7:14 PM EDT   0 recs

Wow. That was a great catch

by Bernie19Kosar on Jul 25, 2008 7:20 PM EDT   0 recs

Garko would have been thrown out at third.

Dear Mr. Sabean, I hear you have a reputation of being stupid. Want to deal Lincecum or Cain? You can pick THREE of these 4 players for either: Borowski, Dellucci, Blake, Byrd.

by westbrook on Jul 25, 2008 7:22 PM EDT   0 recs

Did Grady just score from second on a sac fly? That’s what Gamecast shows.

Il faut d'abord durer.

yep.

Gomez went down after the catch

by ahowie on Jul 25, 2008 7:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Can you describe it a little more in depth? Is he hurt?

Il faut d'abord durer.

by CU Adam on Jul 25, 2008 7:25 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He’s being carted off and might be going to a hospital to be checked out cus they don’t know what exactly is hurt

by ahowie on Jul 25, 2008 7:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

and is now on a stretcher.

The outfielder crashed against the wall but hung on to the ball to make the catch. He fell on the ground, appearing to be injured, and flipped the ball to the CF to throw it in.

He’s being taken out on a cart.

by Buckeye Brad on Jul 25, 2008 7:25 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He’s wearing a neck brace and is on a stretcher.

by Buckeye Brad on Jul 25, 2008 7:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Thanks for all the updates.

Il faut d'abord durer.

by CU Adam on Jul 25, 2008 7:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Wow, too bad. Does it look like he’s seriously injured?

Il faut d'abord durer.

by CU Adam on Jul 25, 2008 7:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He appeared to be holding his back after he fell to the ground. Maybe he injured his neck/back. It’s amazing that he made the catch, though.

by Buckeye Brad on Jul 25, 2008 7:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, it’s pretty bad. He just got taken out on a stretcher. Looks to be something wrong with his hip and/or lower back.

by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 7:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah. I included “neck” because they put a neck brace on him, but that’s probably just a precaution.

by Buckeye Brad on Jul 25, 2008 7:29 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I smell a Choobomb.

Gomez Update

Yes im a Twins Fan but id let you guys know this, They Just Announced on FSN North that Gomez has Full Movement in His Body, Just going to the Hospital to get it thoroughly checked out

by Tony_O on Jul 25, 2008 7:30 PM EDT   0 recs

that’s good

by ahowie on Jul 25, 2008 7:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That’s very good news.

by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 7:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

another great catch sac fly.

Dear Mr. Sabean, I hear you have a reputation of being stupid. Want to deal Lincecum or Cain? You can pick THREE of these 4 players for either: Borowski, Dellucci, Blake, Byrd.

2 great catches by the twinkies this inning

by millionairesrow on Jul 25, 2008 7:31 PM EDT   0 recs

You mean two perfectly scripted sac flies by the good guys!

by ahowie on Jul 25, 2008 7:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Jeez, Hammy, we traded Sabathia, why wouldn’t we trade Blake?

by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 7:32 PM EDT   0 recs

So Livan is looking sharp

by ahowie on Jul 25, 2008 7:32 PM EDT   0 recs

I Hence a Bit of Sarcasm, You know, you think the Twins would Dump this Waste of Money and Call up Francisco Liriano.

by Tony_O on Jul 25, 2008 7:34 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Probably inevitable

by ahowie on Jul 25, 2008 7:35 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

so, really, Livan should have no outs still.

Hernandez seems to be grooving the ball tonight

by millionairesrow on Jul 25, 2008 7:33 PM EDT   0 recs

The more I think about it, the more sending Laffey to Buffalo makes sense.

by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 7:33 PM EDT   0 recs

Interesting thought…..but what does that have to do with this game?

by Buckeye Brad on Jul 25, 2008 7:34 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Hamilton was talking about Carmona returning to the rotation, and the Indians have said that Ginter is sticking around.

by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 7:35 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Oh, gotcha. Did they say if Sowers or Laffey is going down?

by Buckeye Brad on Jul 25, 2008 7:36 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

...or Mastny…

Dear Mr. Sabean, I hear you have a reputation of being stupid. Want to deal Lincecum or Cain? You can pick THREE of these 4 players for either: Borowski, Dellucci, Blake, Byrd.

by westbrook on Jul 25, 2008 7:36 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Didn’t say.

by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 7:37 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I thought about that earlier. Ginter isn’t part of any long term plan with this team unless something really bizarre happens, but Laffey probably needs to be and this is a perfect opportunity for him to be in AAA, if that is what is going to help him.

Il faut d'abord durer.

by CU Adam on Jul 25, 2008 7:37 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

And sending Laffey down might also have something to do with service time, although Jay would know about that. I know he’s written about that but I don’t remember Laffey’s situation off the top of my head.

by Buckeye Brad on Jul 25, 2008 7:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

something like 40 days in the minors and we get another cheap year of him.

Dear Mr. Sabean, I hear you have a reputation of being stupid. Want to deal Lincecum or Cain? You can pick THREE of these 4 players for either: Borowski, Dellucci, Blake, Byrd.

by westbrook on Jul 25, 2008 7:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Well that is certainly doable.

SHIT or NOT!!!

Another CF down

by millionairesrow on Jul 25, 2008 7:34 PM EDT   0 recs

and he’s back up

by millionairesrow on Jul 25, 2008 7:34 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Unbelievable.

by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 7:34 PM EDT   0 recs

Almost another great catch….and another inury!

by Buckeye Brad on Jul 25, 2008 7:34 PM EDT   0 recs

Hernandez is killing his outfielders.

by Buckeye Brad on Jul 25, 2008 7:35 PM EDT to parent up   1 recs

He’s has absolutely nothing tonight

by millionairesrow on Jul 25, 2008 7:35 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

What happened now?

Just a comment on Hernandez’s stuff tonight, he’s leaving everything up and in the middle of the plate

by millionairesrow on Jul 25, 2008 7:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

pop fly with confusion.

Dear Mr. Sabean, I hear you have a reputation of being stupid. Want to deal Lincecum or Cain? You can pick THREE of these 4 players for either: Borowski, Dellucci, Blake, Byrd.

yikes.

So far, so good for Kliff’s Cy Young bid.

by obobcatu on Jul 25, 2008 7:36 PM EDT   0 recs

long-ass wait in the dugout.

Has a Cy Young winner ever come from a last place team? I can’t think of one

by millionairesrow on Jul 25, 2008 7:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I remember A-Rod won an MVP with the Rangers, but I can’t think of a Cy Young winner from a last-place team.

by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 7:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I remember hearing somewhere Steve Carlton had one season where he won like half the games for the Phillies. Not sure if he won the Cy though.

by obobcatu on Jul 25, 2008 7:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Just flipping through the Cy Young winners list, I haven’t even found a winner on a sub-.500 team.

by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 7:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Dice-K over Lee would be ridiculous, but that’s what’s going to happen.

Il faut d'abord durer.

by CU Adam on Jul 25, 2008 7:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yup, 1972 NL Cy Young winner was Steve Carlton and the Phillies were 59-97, bad enough for last in the eastern division.

by obobcatu on Jul 25, 2008 7:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Well there you go.

by Ryan on Jul 25, 2008 7:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yep, gotta pile up the wins.

ADVERTISE WITH THE INDIANS commercials! wow, we do suck.

Sowers’ ERA lowered from 7.33 to 6.44 because of a scoring change for June 30 (hit by Dye to error by Blake) per Castrovince blog

by palcal on Jul 25, 2008 7:38 PM EDT   0 recs

Shoppach’s play has continued to impress me. Anyone else think he will be the starting catcher in 2009 with Martinez at 1B?

by ShawnK on Jul 25, 2008 7:40 PM EDT   0 recs

I prefer that set-up myself. Victor is too good a hitter to let depreciate so fast behind the plate, even if he would be below the top tier in 1b production.

Cliff Lee

Man what a surprise he has been, Just think at this Time last season, Lee was a Headcase, Remember He Gave up like 6 Runs and then a Jerkoff Move Tipped he hat to the fans, Unreal what this guy has become, Hopefully they dont Trade him Like they did CC.

by Tony_O on Jul 25, 2008 7:41 PM EDT   0 recs

he’s not a FA for quite some time.

by westbrook on Jul 25, 2008 7:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I’m thinking he’ll be heading into 2009 as the staff’s ace

by ahowie on Jul 25, 2008 7:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I hate to play the what if game, but just imagine if Lee had this kind of season last year

sniffle

You sadistic bastard

by ahowie on Jul 25, 2008 7:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

A more painful what if game—What if Livan had pitched this poorly in the ‘97 Series?

Thats a Debatable Question

I Would Say Fausto as the Ace.

by Tony_O on Jul 25, 2008 7:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

We’ll see how he looks the rest of the season

by ahowie on Jul 25, 2008 7:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I wonder if he’ll have a pitch limit tomorrow

by millionairesrow on Jul 25, 2008 7:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I seem to have read somewhere (BP, maybe?) that he might have a limit of around 90 pitches.

by DaveE on Jul 25, 2008 8:01 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

The Indians have absolutely no reason to trade Lee.
