Huge win as the Pale Hose knock off the Tide. The Tribe back within 2 1/2 games. It ain't over til' it's over.

Well, I'm off to a long weekend of camping and fishing. We'll be coming back home Monday afternoon. Go Tribe! Go Aeros!

That is a long weekend, JOE! Have fun, and I hope the weather cooperates!

Me too JR! This will be only the second time all season that I'll be on the water and only the fifth time all season for camping period due to all the construction and housework we did this summer.

All it takes for us to catch back up to the Tigers is for them to get out of town.

Nice job by Ubaldo last night. 4-1 with ERA under 3 in his last 8 starts. He is very good at getting into trouble and now he's getting better at getting out of trouble.

Tigers are clearly the better team but if we can hang around you never know....

Good to see this team not folding up, lots of credit goes to Francona and YES Dolan. Dolan made good on his handshake agreement with Francona to increase payroll. Now lets see what we do at the deadline. Sure wish we had Myers $7M back and Reynolds save April is not worth $6M....

Tons of dead money coming off books in 2014: Myers, Reynolds, Jimenez is almost $20M right there...

10 million of that is eaten up by contract increases for Swisher and Bourn. Swisher in 2013 making 11 million and 2014 making 15 million. Bourn is making 7 million in 2013 and will be making 13.5 in 2014.

Calling Jimenez dead money is pretty ballsy after last night.

Keep talking about the handshake agreement that never happened.

No question Francona knew payroll was going up, friendships with Shapiro and Antonetti not withstanding....

Weather in Cleveland has cleared at last! Indians have a 1-0 lead, but it should be more with some timely hitting.
Bottom of 3rd.

4 inning no hittter for Masterson.

Way to jinx him. First batter in the 5th doubled.

He got to third, but was stranded there. Still 1-0, Tribe.

Masterson was obviously out of gas, as the announcers pointed out, but Francona left him in, and he gives up a bases-loaded single. 2-1, Jays.

Rookie Guilmet is on now. 2 on, 2 outs...

And he gets the K to end the inning.

Indians tie it, BUT leave em loaded in the 8th.

Jays put up a 3-spot off Smith to make it 5-2, top of 9th
