I don't think that's possible. All the west coast games are now ending! Do they still conduct a curfew in the AMerican League?

clyde · #3 08-10-2011, 12:12 AM

You were right..nailed his 4th strikeout of the night.Would have been too strange.

I think the curfew is by the city and not a canvas rule.

clyde · #4 08-10-2011, 12:14 AM

Herman's turn;this doesn't feel good.

clyde · #5 08-10-2011, 12:26 AM

Why am I doing this?..it's not even fun.

clyde · #6 08-10-2011, 12:29 AM

Might as well go with Brantley hitting a homer...at least that's within the realm.

clyde · #7 08-10-2011, 12:33 AM

Fucl< this noise.

I quit.

winner, winner!! Not a homer, but hit by a pitch with bases loaded by Fucl <U on a two strike pitch, he had his 5th strikeout locked up but it works. Frank Herrmann has our last two wins. You can't make this stuff up. It's pure insanity. We do not drop below .500 once again thanks to a Frank Herrmann win!! Fucl<U wins a game he struck out 4 times by getting hit by a pitch. Welcome to Cleveland, you stink.

Tiggers have lost like 14 straight in Cleveland. The odds are in your favor.

YOu know that has to end sometime. I was counting on a Tribe win last night as it was the only starting pitching matchup I liked this series, unfortunately the rain killed both starters...and both bullpens are pretty taxed tonight. I was pretty much counting on losses for O-Bald-O and against Verlander, I don't care how much better Carmona has been pitching!

Verlander is like 13-2 with a sub-2.00 ERA against AL Central opponents the last couple of seasons.

I do enjoy how backloaded the Indians-Tigers schedule is - 11 more of these things to go in the last 49 games.

Verlander toyed with them last meeting in Detroit. I do remember in '07 we hit him hard a few times in that race. He's a heckuva lot better now though, not that he wasn't still good back then.

Yeah, 2 hit shutout striking out 12 in June!! Went back and looked at 2007 game log and we went 4-1 against him. We scored 7 against him 3 times and hit 6 homers off him. times change, don't they!!

I applaud the effort and knowledge Fucl<U has of his abilities. He made absotluely zero effort to not get hit by that pitch. Well done young man.

horseofcourse · #16 08-10-2011, 10:39 AM

The records show the last time the Browns played the NFC West they went 10-6 with some guy named Derek Anderson playing quarterback.

Aberrations happen.

clyde · #18 08-10-2011, 01:30 PM

Here are my noodle showers for tonights game:

Him-a-Spaz will go 6.1 innings and throw 128 Exhausto like pitches with 6 walks,9 strikeouts,12 hits and 8 runs allowed....earned.

He only goes this far because of the tired bull pen arms.

Then we do have to give him credit for taking one for the team.He's an all star crash dummy.

Jimenez goes tonight?

Could go into the BP Pitcher HOF.

disaster management on display. Carlos Carrasco all of a sudden has elbow problems! He goes on the DL so they can erase the disastrous decision to send Huff back down with a 0.51 ERA. Carrasco has pitched better than Obaldo all year long and saved the team in June with a brilliant month when everyone else on the team stunk so it didn't make much sense to send him down either. elbow issues have suddenly developed for carlos after he had him throw 120 pitches last out in Fenway when it appeared he was pitching to save his job and did pitching very well. (really, on the DL when he was healthy enough to get into the 8th against Boston last out??)

The Obaldo carnage will be wide and deep...destroying every young pitcher in the organization one at at time (at least the ones they didn't dump to get him!!)
