Mr. Horsey---what good news have you for me tonight?

clyde · #2 09-13-2011, 12:13 PM

That's what I was afraid of.

There weren't any games. I guess they can put Texas well out in front in the West. They have a history of miserable performances there. I'm sure the Rangers are anxious to play them as they're only a couple up I think.

Oh.

My bad.

Yes, I was correct. Texas is greatly enjoying game 1 of the cleveland visit. Some guy named Putnam pitched for us in relief. Bat is completely finished. He's got nothing left this year. Will the Tigers be able to hold this 13 game lead?? Santana had a bunch of home runs but it's still a massacre. No good news tonight. I'm not sure why they insist on playing Grady in his present state. It's just stupid. Keep giving the AAA slap hitter at bats the rest of September.

September in cleveland is always a fun time. The Tribe eliminated and playing out the string...here's our bullpen parade tonight...

Hag-done
Judge Judy
Some guy named Putnam
Herrmann Munster

And you get the beginning of the season of the newest Browns incarnation disaster. Good times had by all. thank God there's no NBA this year hopefully so perhaps we can avoid that mess.

Boy they really,really make it hard to find that silver lining,don't they? Ah dunno..from America's Team to The Team No One Wants.Injuries played a big part, but so many of the injured weren't doing all that much.

Yes, you can tell it's September here just by the relief pitchers names.

It's already wait until next year for the Browns and Ohio State....at least the Tribe made us wait until near season's end.You are right there with your NBA comment.

It's certainly something to be thankful.

I think the injuries may have been overplayed a bit as you astutely stated. The one's that really hurt were Kipnis...he was injecting something into the team, and the 2nd Choo injury...he was actually raking finally before that one. Hafner was in an endless slump when he got hurt. Grady was already hurt and stunk when he "officially" got hurt. Hannahan is Hannahan and it was already decided when he got hurt this month. Tomlin was already starting to go south when he got hurt, but that one didn't help much, and Carrasco was not a star either. It's time to put Masterson on the shelf and give him 10 days off between starts now. He's starting to look like Exhausto, and no one needs to go through that!! 3 home runs tonight....that's a couple months worth for him and I think he gave up 2 the start before that. He's cooked goose. He's been so good this year, it's a bit sad seeing him end the season this way.
