Manny Acta signs three-year deal with the Indians.

Gotta love the smelly diaper gift the Tribe left in the middle of the new Yankee ballpark

Dope idea.

Random fact:

First player to hit a grand slam in old Yankee stadium: Cleveland Indians center fielder, Tris Speaker
First player to hit a grand slam in new Yankee stadium: Cleveland Indians center fielder, Grady Sizemore

 

[kiddin like jason]

The AL Central is the only division in baseball that doesn't have a team with six wins (every other division has at least one team with seven wins; threehave at least one team with eight wins).

Grinding out runs every time the Yankees put one up. Love it.

I was wondering the same thing when I saw his name pop up.

 

[kiddin like jason]

You would strike out, Grady.

ESPN updating dumb slow.

 

[al3xis]

You could tell Chulk was gona $+#! it up...that groundball, all arm. horrible throw.

I'd like to cut him already.

 

[kiddin like jason]

He never should have been on the team.

Why even bring him in? Smith faced one batter the inning before and made him look stupid.

 

[kiddin like jason]

Cut Chulk, trade Shoppach and/or Dellucci for a starter and/or reliever and call up John Meloan, who is healthy and dominating early on.

If Pavano continues to struggle, call up David Huff.

Of course, I would still love to do away with Kobayashi and Carroll, too.

What about cutting Dellucci and signing Pedro?

$9.5 million between Dellucci, Kobayashi and Carroll could be put to much better use.

 

[nnarum]

Keep losing Clevland... Keep losing...

Now if we could get some wins to create space...

 

[al3xis]

still dont want Shop huh

 

[kiddin like jason]

Never.

If not, then disregard what I just said

 

[kiddin like jason]

Pitch 2 wasn't a strike. Pitch 4 wasn't a strike. Pitch 6 was borderline.

Phil Cuzzi's strike zone for Indians hitters was awful the entire game.

 

[true 3 blue]

I agree on pitch 2.

I just got finished watching the game, I thought we got over on that one.

My thing is, why is Derosa gonna take that chance in that situation? You know Mo is gonna come into the game throwing strikes, why leave it to the ump to makethose questionable calls? This dude didn't swing once.

I can't wait to see Laporta in the bigs.

Faus gets it goin today.

like the lineup today.

and along with Chulk, if we never see Graffanino again, we'll all be better for it. Give Barfield his spot.

 

[joe twenty1]

1,2,4 and 6 have the plate, isn't that the definition of a strike?
