Manny Acta signs three-year deal with the Indians.

We probably shouldn't have won that. Bannister kind of had an out of body experience.
He's one of those guys that pitches well against one team.

Matinee ball.

 

[al3xis]

we got this

 

[wohcttank]

So I was at the game last night, sec 142 first row(the new Mercedes Benz Front Row)...had a friend sitting behind me in the 2nd row, top of the 8th comesaround and there is probably 6 people in the whole park so he hops over to sit in the first row, usher comes over and say "you dont have a ticket for thisrow, back to your seat". needless to say, 5 minutes later we got kicked out and everyone was booing the usher.

A cleanup hitter stealing third.

Not ideal, but we'll take it.

 

[al3xis]

I love Choo. Was that stuff Buck was sayin about the military over the weekend concerning him true?

 

[kiddin like jason]

I'm not sure what was said, but Shapiro has always made it seem like the military issue would never be a concern.

I read something maybe a month ago about him most likely getting excused from having to serve.

 

[taimaishu123]

wow, both our catchers suck. we gotta get into the indians pen to win this one.

 

[al3xis]

Buck basically spun it as he has to serve before 30, which would be after next season. but yeah, you'd think he could find a way around it.

 

[kiddin like jason]

Big time pitching.

 

[al3xis]

wowwww, way to get outa that.

 

[kiddin like jason]

Damn it.

Great play by Callaspo.

 

[kiddin like jason]

There we go. Get this lead.

 

[kiddin like jason]

BOOM.

 

[kiddin like jason]

Lights out.

Has Progressive Field (it'll always be Jacobs Field in my mind) always been this deserted for day games? Seeing all those empty seats is pretty depressing,especially since they used to have sellouts every game

 

[outacontrol music]

I missed the last few innings at work. I see we won

What happened?

We never really come close to selling out, except when we were running hot and in the playoffs a couple years ago.

Day games don't do very well in general.

We have to work in Cleveland, not go sit in $5,000 seats.

What happened?
Meche had retired like 16 in a row.

Garko hit a double to start the 8th
Graffanino pinch ran for him
Francisco put down a perfect bunt; Graffanino got thrown out trying to score on an overthrow
Hafner got a pinch hit single
Cabrera reached on an error; Francisco scored (tie game)
Grady hit a three run bomb
Wood came in and shut the door

He has struck out 11 of the 16 batters he faced.

I could barely afford the bleacher seats to watch the anal stuffing onSaturday in Yankee Stadium.

Anyone got insider? ESPN had a story about Lee saying Cy Young winner being traded?

MLB Rumor Central: Indians might unload Lee

For whatever ESPN is worth.

The Yankees have plans to RAISE the price of premium seats by 4 percent next year

I remember the Indians used to hold the record for most consecutive sellouts at home. They had great teams in the late 90s too.

 

[kiddin like jason]

There have been reports that the Indians could trade pitcher Cliff Lee at some point this season.

Lee, who won the AL Cy Young award in 2008, has struggled slightly to begin the new season.

"Multiple officials familiar with the Indians said this week that they wouldn't be at all surprised to see Lee get traded if the Indians fell far out of the race," according to an article on CBSSports.com.

Cleveland might look to trade Lee sooner rather than later while he value is still rather high.
Not really worth publishing.

 

[al3xis]

we're not falling outa any race.
