Playing the bottom of the 4th and the top of the 5th took about one full hour.

Pronk raises his average with his 2nd hit of the night to lead off our 7th.


The hot hitting Shelly Duncan steps in with his .333 average.

And Duncan draws a walk, to raise his OBP even higher to .514


Two on and no outs.....

These Mariners announcers must be consuming some Courtney Love enriched Seattle coffee.

They note there are two down for The Tribe as Kotchman K's.

Actually, that was the first out of the inning.

Furbush finds his stuff to K Kotchman and Hannahan making them flail at unhittable balls.

Now Eric Wedge comes to get him for lefty-righty reasons. Some things never change.

Donald doing his Cabrera impression and driving in go ahead run. 9-8 bot 7

Jason Donald had the RBI to tie it at 8-8, and now he has the go ahead RBI to take the lead 9-8.

You beat me to it, HB. I needed a refill on my Guinness.


Cunningham in as a defensive replacement for Shelly Duncan. Acta must be certain his pen has it from here. Tough to sit a guy hitting .333 with an OBP of .514. Duncan's spot will bat again before the game is over. He'd be the 5th hitter in the 8th.

Joe Smith with a big old bucket of cold water to silence the Mariners in the 7th.

Let's get some insurance. 2-3-4 to bat for us.

We have yet another night with hits just about across the board for all Tribe starters.

Tonight every Tribe starter has a hit.


Only Kotchman has not scored a run.

Donald, Duncan and Hafner are all now over the .300 mark.

2-2 to Choo....

and again, after a foul tip.

2-2 to Choo.


Pestano ready in the pen for the 8th.

This Wilhelmsen guy for the Mariners throws heat, as he K's Choo with a 97mph offering.

Rafael Santana just gave that one a bit of a ride. Just missed it.

Yep, when I saw the swing and connect I thought it was gone.

Pestano and Perez, here we come.

I like this super slo mo that Seattle broadcast does.

Nothing better than watching Tribe kick ass in slow motion. Really take your time and enjoy it.
