Oh well. Tied game following a couple o' hits, perhaps with an assist to Rosario for letting the ball get away from him. (Some theme of 'infielders in the outfield' here isn't quite accurate, but isn't quite off base?)

 

Sorry for the length ... I was really intending to go with brevity, but, history just isn't brief!

 

  I thought that was great.

Mauer needs to come up with that ball. 

 

 

Uh oh ... cmon Trevor, pull it together.

 

Concur.

 

(once i figured out you meant May, not Plouffe)

Gotta love the strikeouts! Sit down, Swisher.

 

Nicely done both ChiTown and brian!

 

Off topic but I caught a little Ghostbusters last week and this scene made me think of ChiTown.

  Because of the cello, or the smirk?

Cue Chief-esc response in 3...2...

alright... tie game. Let's go for 19-13...

BTW, side question, why isn't Plouffe in the lineup?

Both. Winston has me pegged just right.

 

Edit: Did it again. Yes.

He was at a memorial service for his grandfather and his plane didn't get him back to Cleveland on time.

I edited the OP lineups to reflect the actual vs the intended.

 I was pretty confident, that was the case.

Happy Mother's Day, all you mothers who happen to read this!

 

Especially you, ChiTown, since you did the game thread today. I picked out a picture just for you:

 

Heh, is that a baby Dozier?

 

And Santana ... NICE play, just really NICE!

I'm getting guilted into going to dinner. Apparently it's mothers day. Who knew!?

 

Catch you all later.

That was not on Suzuki, I don't think. Not so nice play for Santana on that one.

 

  Every baseball playing kid on the planet practices the incredible play. I love Smalley, but he makes me miss Bert.

And Santana... nice!

I have the Cleveland feed here, so no Dick and Smalley for me.

Surprised it is tied.  I thought Cleveland was going to do a lot more damage in that 1st inning.

 

CBU:  1-1 after 2

In the pre-game the announcers were saying the Indians just need to find a way to win.

 

Well, duh, isn't that the point of the game, to win?

  I'll even dog it on a fly ball in beer-league, just so I can dive.

  It's not what he says, it's how many ways he feels he needs to say it.

Yeah, I think that's what the Cleveland announcers meant ... they are not taking more advantage ... But I went more snarky with it.

I think that makes you lucky... doesn't it?

Sounds like a job for...

 

the Thesaurus.

 

But of course, redundancy has its uses.

I see Salazar has a perfect game going. Nine straight retired after three innings. Hope we don't get shut out.

I'm sorry to say that Kris Atteberry is the most annoying of them all. It figures that I'm the one listening to the game. Why don't you try Cleveland's radio with the sound turned down on the TV? As a general rule the radio announcers are better. Unless you do indeed feel lucky listening to Cleveland's TV broadcasters.
