i find that i have zero confidence that the indians will win this game…which begs the (unanswerable) question, why am i still paying attention?
this is a very interesting point. i do rather enjoy the HBO show “trueblood”, central to which is the story of the walking dead—vampires. i think that’s it w/ this tribe squad…the recent renaissance of vampire fandom translates well to watching walking-dead baseball teams, too

“My life” means watching MASH in Italian right now. I’d prefer the game continue.

Don’t worry—it was a sarcastic reference to a regular from Toronto. Rule # 214 of LGT: Always assume sarcasm.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
I don’t think there’s a rule against bold …

Yeah but you could also write something in bold. I would demonstrate but I don’t know how. I have seen it done though.

so Joe Smith can’t pitch in the AL?

Well Wedge is pushing him harder against lefties than he had been with the Mets, I think.

My dad was at the second out pose game… apparently he was getting booed lustily all game, even before that. Soriano also.

do we have thoughts on jhonny in the 2-slot? have we seen this much before? i feel like not much in the past year or two, and it doesn’t exactly seem like a good spot for his current offensive game.
soooo…you’re saying you don’t have any thoughts?

No matter what happens from here on out, at least it wasn’t a walkoff by a pitcher.

If it’s still tied going into the bottom of the 12th, we really need to send Wood out there.

Way too un-Wedge

Yeah, and their announcer pronounced his name as “PAIR-ez” like the dolts at ESPN.
I believe in Carl Pavano.
I’m pretty sure that’s the proper pronunciation.
Though I look right at home, I still feel like an exile
by Manhattan Tribe Fan on Jun 20, 2009 4:57 PM EDT up reply actions
I was pretty sure the accent should be on the second syllable, but I’m not 100% certain.
I believe in Carl Pavano.
I thought it was the first syllable, but I’m not an authority either.

In a two-syllable word. See Jay below.

by Manhattan Tribe Fan on Jun 20, 2009 5:01 PM EDT up reply actions
Actually, the default emphasis is on the next-to-last syllable, and you almost always find there’s an accent mark if the emphasis is on any other syllable.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
This lineup is a mess. Can someone please just hit a double?

I’ve actually been around here longer than I’ve had an account. I was active over at theclevelandfan.com for a while before becoming a regular here, so I heard it over there as well.
I believe in Carl Pavano.
Makes sense. Unless I’m mistaken, it’s a DiaTribe creation.

I don’t think his batting means anything. No need to throw another pitcher out there even if you’re replacing him.

It ain’t even like I’m making this up. This is an actual, common complaint over there.

I bought a blue Sizemore one last weekend. I haven’t worn it yet.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
Well they weren’t carrying blue Choo t-shirts (which is what I wanted) in the big one and I was very upset. I got Cabrera instead.

That didn’t count as a “game finished” did it? It better not.
This may sound reactionary, but I say we move Kerry to earlier innings for a while, with the stated purpose of clearing his head/working on some things, and thus ensure that we don’t engage that extra year this year. Closer by committee for a bit.
I hope that’s because he’s no longer occupying the position of Tribe manager.

He’s still got a chance to talk after tomorrow’s game and during Monday’s goodbye press conference.
