  1. I didn't have the radio on; a goodun from Pat? No, I was talking about Chip's. He knew it was gone when it left the bat. Len never really knows it's gone until it's gone.
  2. Soriano! Now that's a home run call. (take notes, Len)
  3. I hope Lou's thinking what HR is saying. Marquis has to go at least 6-7 innings, regardless of how he's pitching.
  4. LOL at Chip saying the umps get calls right 99% of the time.
  5. Which is why I hate when people talk about quality starts. I'd much rather have Harden give up one run in 5 innings than give up 3 runs in 6 innings. Holy fallacy of bifurcation, Batman !! Those are the only 2 possibilities in the entire realm of pitching & quality starts ??? Huh? Of course not. My point was that when talking about quality starts, if Harden would've gone one more inning yesterday and given up a two runner homer in that inning, he would've been given credit for a quality start. As it is, he didn't pitch a "quality start" because he only went five. Regardless of the face that he was dominant for five innings.
  6. Yeah, it has been a tough year, but, I wouldn't exactly say that we're in the midst of a fire sale. CC had to go. We knew we weren't going to retain him after the season and we certainly aren't going to compete for anything this year. After years of John Hart and Mark Shapiro letting super-star players like Albert Belle, Manny Ramirez, and Jim Thome walk with nothing to show for it, it's nice to see some simple, smart trades. The Indians can still re-sign Blake after the year, and both parties (Shapiro and Blake) have hinted at the fact that it might happen. So, the only 2 (major) trades that were made were just smart moves, shipping off unnecessary players for good, young prospects. Given, with the uncertainty of Hafner and Martinez and the pending loss of Byrd, we have become a team that is focusing much more on our younger ball players. But, that doesn't mean we can't compete in the Central next year. Especially with Cliff Lee and Fausto anchoring our rotation. Realistically, we're probably 2-3 years away from any real run. Ah, the life of an Indians' fan. Since you're our resident Indians fan... What happened to Victor Martinez this year? I was just looking at his BR page and he's been brutal.
  7. I totally read that as three words. I don't understand all these name change threads. Is it really that hard to just pick your own forum name by yourself?
  8. Marquis has been pretty good his last three starts... which means that he'll probably be pretty lousy today. Let's hope our freaking offense shows up for the first time in awhile.
  9. Which is why I hate when people talk about quality starts. I'd much rather have Harden give up one run in 5 innings than give up 3 runs in 6 innings.
  10. Nice hustle play by Soriano? Really Bob? He was jogging to it, like he always does.
  11. Nice job again Reed! Was there any doubt that Rob Drake would've called him safe had he have been the 2nd base ump?
  12. Not really. They bunted him over to have him in scoring position period. Not to have him in scoring position for Soriano.
  13. http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/3341/drawingthebathns6.jpg How does one draw with a toaster, though? :D I seriously thought that NCCubsfan made this post until I looked at the name.
  14. I don't care if it gets him suspended/fined... I'd really love to see Lou just lay into Rob Drake in the post game press conference.
  15. Man that was close. Let's freaking win this!
