ooh…a Cliff Lee outing. I didn’t realize.

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

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.

Hammy: Hafner is joining the team in Baltimore … he’s doing it because I’ll be there, I just know it

Wow, JP scores from first on a single

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

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

by Logodaedalus on Sep 7, 2008 2:25 PM EDT up reply actions

Great AB. Vic’s back!

by peter m on Sep 7, 2008 2:24 PM EDT reply actions

Garko continues his excellent play.

by peter m on Sep 7, 2008 2:25 PM EDT reply actions

Garko…ah….forget it

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

That was a weird play

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

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

by APV on Sep 7, 2008 2:30 PM EDT reply actions

Underwood: “…the angle with which we sit at”

Hmm

Awww. It’s just a verbal typo!

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

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

we’ve been having some contact issues lately

by APV on Sep 7, 2008 2:54 PM EDT reply actions

red eyes?

by Logodaedalus on Sep 7, 2008 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions

Jhonny had laser surgery. He has no excuse.

by Logodaedalus on Sep 7, 2008 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions

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

only with men on base

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

on first, specifically

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

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

Time to DFA this Sizemore punk

Ha… I love the K on the foul bunt.

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

by Fios on Sep 7, 2008 3:45 PM EDT reply actions

ding, ding

by Fios on Sep 7, 2008 3:46 PM EDT up reply actions

Two points

by Logodaedalus on Sep 7, 2008 3:46 PM EDT up reply actions

except the runner was on second

by Logodaedalus on Sep 7, 2008 3:46 PM EDT up reply actions

d’oh

by Fios on Sep 7, 2008 3:47 PM EDT up reply actions

I don’t think Shoppach remembers how to take pitches

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

So who thinks Shoppach gets dealt after the season?

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

for Russel Branyan

by Logodaedalus on Sep 7, 2008 3:49 PM EDT up reply actions

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

by Logodaedalus on Sep 7, 2008 3:57 PM EDT reply actions

and he does.

Here’s David “Nobody F—-s with” DeJesus

Adams showed that safety blitz entirely too soon.

by Fundamentals on Sep 7, 2008 4:27 PM EDT reply actions

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

by Fundamentals on Sep 7, 2008 4:28 PM EDT up reply actions

same old, shit defense. Long fall in Cleveland.

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

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

Andy Marte is free at last! Now, if only he got to bat with men on base...

One day I'll get over to watch the Tribe play

by new zealand tribe fan on Sep 7, 2008 5:05 PM EDT reply actions

4 starts left?

“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

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.
