Twins post game analysis of Huff was that he has no impressive pitch and got thru the game today with a combination of Twins unfamiliarity with him and the fact he did locate his pitches well.

..............WE WIN!!!

Keeping Durbin is wasting a roster space.


Bring up a kid.

Laughed at the end of the recap (pun intended) of the game:

"The Indians and Twins were wearing green hats in honor of Earth Day. They were supposed to wear on April 22 at Target Field, but that was postponed because of rain and cold and rescheduled for Monday.

Apparently, they saved the hats."

IF someone had told us our Indians would be in first place on July 18, we would have thought the person insane.

Heck, I knew I was the only sane one among this group anyway.

Also- I wonder what the Vegas odds were during the past off season on a Cleveland- Pittsburgh World Series in 2011.

Probably STILL pretty long odds.

First start by a lefty. First win by a lefty starter. First win by a Tribe Number 1 draft choice other than Alex White.

Kearns blew that one.....

Kearns is the Durbin of the position players.

Fausto has been on the edge of imploding the entire game.

Thanks for the green hat explanation, Uncle Dennis.

Civ, I dated a girl in Minneapolis while she was in college there. Downtown was fun.....but cold.


Tie game on the Chris Perez's old roommate home run.....

As Acta jerked him immediately after the first game home run I immediately had a though on what Eric Wedge would have done.

With the bases empty and still a three run lead I think Wedge might have let him keep going until he let another batter reach base. Confidence building stuff, or something. And likely one would have.

Marson with his first homer of the year.


Straight away center on the equivalent of a hard batting practice pitch.

3-2

Looks like Diamond is running out of gas. Lots of stuff moving up.

If they keep him in, let's get him.

LOL!
Carrera steals 2nd after getting "picked off" first.


And Brantley bunts him to 3rd with one out for A Cab



A Cab gets an IBB to get to Hafner.

I think Hafner will get the job done, and maybe more.


Darn, they are pulling Diamond....
