They can fire any coach they want it won't make a rats ass of difference.

The annoying thing is that there is actually some talent on this ball club, but the team seems more interested in playing dumb baseball day in, day out.

I'd honestly decline Sizemore's option right now for starters and give serious consideration to declining Carmona's as well.

I just checked the standings and we are about to the halfway point of the season and firmly in 2nd place.....just a game out of first.


I hope The Tribe Brass does not feel defeated.


I don't. I feel there is work to be done with a real goal within reach.


Sheesh, were there REALLY 16 K's?.......thank goodness I wasn't paying that close attention.


I was busy trying to figure out why so many girls who were obviously not gay on this gay pride weekend were on the streets of San Francisco on the way to the ballpark really just wearing essentially bras and panties covered by scanty mesh netting and lots of glitter. I have no idea what their motivation or cause was, but I think I firmly support it....

Oh My!

If you look closely at Sizemore, he is wearing a significant brace on his left knee.

The most we should expect of him is some flashbulb moments of his heyday.

At this point, I would not be in favor of picking up his option year. And yes, I know it is only late June.

Lonnie time!

2 hits and an RBI already!

Jack who?

2 on, 2 out in the Tribe 7th, up 4-3, Acta turns to Hafner as PH for Talbot.

Hafner barks at the 1-1 strike call, then fans on the next pitch to end the inning.

Manny lights yet another dud firecracker.

Tribe leading , but have added another 8Ks at the 7 inning mark tonight. Good thing they changed hitting coaches.

And we learn from the trivia question that Kirk Gibson is the only MVP who didn't make an AS team.

Pestano gives up a tieing triple in the 8th to Johnson who tried twice to sac bunt Pena to second, worked the AB to 11 pitches, then roped one into the gap in deep RCF.

No outs for AZ.
4-4.

AZ hitters getting numerous foul balls off Pestano.

Drew finally pops out to short left on the 10th pitch of the AB, Johnson holds third.

Upton and Young due up.

Intentional walk to Upton after a mound visit by Belcher to set up a possible inning ending DP.

2-0 count to Young.

Pestano tries the old fake to third and first move to delay things.

Swing and a foul back to the screen.

2-1 count, runners on the corners, 1 out, tied at 4, bottom 8th.

Swing and a miss for the second strike.

And he does it again for strike 3!

Acta out to bring on Raffy Perez.
