52516-2 Seattle so far. Willy Mo Pena is killing the tribe again. Time to put C Perez in to mop up.

5252Grady Sizemore (knee, hernia) took batting practice on the field Wednesday.
Sizemore, who is working his way back from a right knee contusion and sports hernia surgery, could head out on a minor league rehab assignment as soon as this weekend. The 29-year-old has been limited to just 61 games this season due to various injuries, but still hopes to rejoin the Indians down the stretch.

Re: GameTime!™
5253It's been a good season, and I was especially impressed with the previous couple weeks. But it's over now, sorry.
The few reliable hitters are constantly hurt, now we miss Brantley for about a week. Choo returns, hit like mad for a couple days and again is hurt.
Jiminez has not added anything to the rotation. We can't win without a blend of offense and pitching and the offense isn't holding up its end, due to the crowded DL.
You know the good luck ends when the Josh Tomlin Major League Record finally comes to an end.
I still feel confident we will finish 3rd. And I think I like our prospects for 2012 but only if we can find some way to keep Choo, Kipnis, Brantley, Santana, Cabrera all healthy for at least 140 games (I have no reason to expect anything like that from Sizemore or Hafner and don't care if either of them is with us); and counting on the front office to sign a RH hitter to play OF, or 1B or DH or a little bit of all of those.

5255That Tiger series was a back breaker. That Jimenez couldn't get the job done vs the Sox or the Tigers took a huge bite out of the remainder of the season. Chances of taking this division right now are slim and none and Slim just left town.
