Nice....I'll be here the whole game. Don't feel like fighting base traffic, the heat, or even people today to see any fireworks.

I have a case of Miller Light, a grill, chicken wings, and steak...

The way this game is going I'm more than happy to sit and watch it.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

We're leaving early, hopefully to beat some traffic.

Duncan is off for paternity leave. After the twins arrive someone else leaves. Cunningham I suppose.

12-3 Tribe in 7th

and 12-3 final. Hagadone Sipp and Accardo get an infrequent opportunity to work an inning each.

We're three over .500 and only 2 games out as we reach game 81 and the half way point.

We have a winning nucleus, but we might could use hats.

Or bats for hats.

Or vice versa.

Another arm would be good, of course,

But I'm on the bat/hat thing.

Or maybe just "Gator For God," Matt LaPorta.

Buckle up. This might be a heckuva ride.

CWS won today. We are now 2.5 games back.
But HB told me not to worry about Chicago.

Chooooooooooo

with another leadoff homer!

BRANTLEY!!!

and Tomlin looking much better tonight, has shut out the Rays on 1 hit, on 38 pitches through 3 innings.

Make that 2-1. 63 pitches thru 5.

Hafner gets some Progressive insurance for the 9th with a bomb into the right field seats.

3-1 us.


And Santana follows with a solid single. Let's get more Progressive Insurance.....

We go to Chris Perez time, up 3-1.

Hafner made sure the BCH is back.....

Brantley, Choo and Hafner with solo shots tonight.

A couple of hard hit balls, but Chris Perez gets save #24 to keep pace with the ChiSux.

Some guy named Orestes Destrade does the post game analysis show for Tampa. He began with this opinion that "Josh Timlin" didn't impress him with the way he threw tonight. Then his fellow analyst reminded it was actually Josh Tomlin.
