Good old Cliff S. Lee

No Marte, but at least Dellucci isn’t playing third.

by peter m on Sep 7, 2008 2:13 PM EDT reply actions 1 recs

at least.

The Royals have a player named Ryan Braun?

by Logodaedalus on Sep 7, 2008 2:14 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Sabean almost gave up Lincecum for him thinking he was getting an all-star hitter.

Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

Cap’n Vic. I wasn’t listening, though…how did Jhonny score from 1st?

by APV on Sep 7, 2008 2:24 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Just got a head start on the 2 out, full count and turned it on

Great AB. Vic’s back!

Garko continues his excellent play.

Garko…ah….forget it

by APV on Sep 7, 2008 2:25 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

That was a weird play

by Logodaedalus on Sep 7, 2008 2:28 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

9 pitches, 9 strikes, 3 outs for Lee in the first

Hmm

Awww. It’s just a verbal typo!

by peter m on Sep 7, 2008 2:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Hehe. Resulting from trying to avoid ending a sentence with a preposition. Just shows that it’s not natural to do that.

by Logodaedalus on Sep 7, 2008 2:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

we’ve been having some contact issues lately

Jhonny had laser surgery. He has no excuse.

Well, Garko’s been hitting the ball on the ground with consistency!

by peter m on Sep 7, 2008 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

only with men on base

by APV on Sep 7, 2008 2:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

on first, specifically

by Logodaedalus on Sep 7, 2008 3:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Three scoreless innings on 36 pitches. Cliff is at it again.

This Phifer fellow might be a stud.

Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

I still think he should change the middle name to “s are best approached careful”

Runner on first, Garko should ground out here

I don’t think Shoppach remembers how to take pitches

by Logodaedalus on Sep 7, 2008 3:48 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

So who thinks Shoppach gets dealt after the season?

by cheech99 on Sep 7, 2008 3:48 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

for Russel Branyan

Let’s put a sign on second that says, “Buck stops here”

Adams showed that safety blitz entirely too soon.

Wrong thread. I’ve got DBN and LGT up at the same time…

same old, shit defense. Long fall in Cleveland.

by ASP on Sep 7, 2008 4:32 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

So that’s why this thread is so dead… Didn’t even occur to me that there was football on now.

Try being a Redskins fan, at least the Browns are a threat to score

“I don’t want to say he has a reputation for being headstrong, but anytime he’s on the mound and a maple bat is in use, the bat is the second-hardest object on the field.”

From Bud Shaw. Innuendo?

You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person

by jakesinger777 on Sep 8, 2008 12:42 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Just another typical labored trope from Bud Shaw. Sports-writing of the worst sort. What if Milton Bradley is on the field, Bud?

Even ignoring the awesome W/L record, Cliff Lee is having the best season by a Tribe starter that I’ve seen in my lifetime (I’ve been a studious fan since ‘90). I have always been one of his bigger fans, but this is well beyond my wildest imaginations. I am shocked. This and the reemergence of Choo are the sliver lining of ’08 in my mind. Shoppach’s and Huff’s breakouts are up there too.
