you mean fatigued this season? Hmm makes sense, but I’m not qualified enough to answer this.

Clean shaven, though, with his hair gelled? Huff would be totally Wayne.

umm when and if sizemore is off the DL… BenFran should be sent down and Laporta should be up.. He still looks terrible
Per Castro
Jake Westbrook’s rehab is on hold. In the first setback Westbrook has had since his Tommy John ligament replacement surgery one year ago, the Indians appear to have scrapped previous plans to have him make his third rehab start Wednesday. Westbrook is still dealing with some soreness in his right elbow from after his start Friday for Double-A Akron. He played catch today and is tentatively scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday. No word on when the Indians are now targeting that third start to take place, but this would obviously push back Westbrook’s big league return.

Hammy said doesn’t prove anything one way or another. Personally I consider Castro a more reliable source

Anyone seen Sugar the movie about the Dominican baseball player?

i hate that whenever vmart or derosa or lee are awesome my first thought is enjoy it while it lasts because the indians apparently have the same amount of income as your local 7-11

I’d just like interleague to be discontinued.
by JulioBernazard on Jun 15, 2009 9:32 PM EDT up reply actions
I’m bored of it. And now, with the unbalanced schedule, it’s leads to not enough chances to see other clubs in your own league.
by JulioBernazard on Jun 15, 2009 9:34 PM EDT up reply actions
Exactly. My idea is, one 3 game series with interstate rival (alternate home vs. away each year) and one random 3 game series againt another NL opponent, switching each year the opponent and home vs away. So 2010 would look like this:
Indians vs. Reds (at Cinci)
Indians vs. Cubs (at Cleveland)
2011:
Indians vs Reds (at Cleveland)
Indians vs Brewers (at Milkwaukee)
Then you can statisy the interleague craving but still save a bunch of games for other AL opponents.

Maybe it’s cuz I’m from Y-town, but doesn’t PIT seem just as worthwhile a “rival” as CIN?

The decision of whether to play Martinez at Catcher or First actually has zero effect on Hafner, ESPN.
Yep. Pretty much.

I don’t think I used to. I’m becoming a bitter old woman. Aw, who am I trying to fool? I’m becoming a MORE bitter old woman.
I prefer some to others but the more it goes the more they all become the same.

Off to the Giants game. Seats right off the away team on deck circle. It’s payback time, Abreu. LGT.
Is it just because he’s not the most demonstrative guy that people keep coming up with this idea that he’s not trying?
Because I’m sure he doesn’t give a crap about the sport he’s played most of his life and makes a living off of.

The current one’s pretty good. Let’s find another position for Pronk.

The manufacturing process needed for the Toyota Prius puts more strain on the environment than it saves while in use.
Shin-Soo Choo, future U.S. Citizen.
I don’t have a news article on it, but I learned it on Top Gear, a BBC auto show with some very very smart but quirky guys. I don’t take everything I hear for truth, but I trust the guys on the show. If I can find hard written articles, I’ll provide.
Shin-Soo Choo, future U.S. Citizen.
Yeah those guys are awesome. Here is an article about the big talk how a Hummer can actually be better for the environment than the Prius, which I don’t know if they mention here, isn’t really correct. But the bottom line is that the Prius is not nearly as awesome to drive for someone trying to “go green” as you would think.

well, it is pretty much better than all of the alternatives

Meh. There’s better technology that is being developed, but its all a matter of time, as usual.
Shin-Soo Choo, future U.S. Citizen.
no question. i should have been more clear…it is better than all of the currently-available alternatives.

but the lifecycle emissions associated with a prius are a VAST improvement upon those of other gasoline (non-hybrid) vehicles

Yet the battery is only proposed to last as long as it takes for the car to actually be an advantage, meaning you must repeat the process with a new battery.
Shin-Soo Choo, future U.S. Citizen.
longer lasting batteries would certainly make it more better…but as is, it is better.
improved battery life and storage is a big area of r&d right now.

Playing devil’s advocate:
If Pronk goes on for the next 3 years to average 30-35 HRs and hit .250 with around a .350 OBP, would you be satisfied?
Shin-Soo Choo, future U.S. Citizen.
how many world series do we win in that stretch?

This is the first time in a while that our pen hasn’t had at least one guy who I wouldn’t mind seeing sent down to Columbus. Mayyybe Jensen, but it looks pretty solid right now. Get well soon Raffy, but take your time and do it right.

We get both Braun and Fielder with the bases loaded. I’m just thrilled.
