Balta1701 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Well here we go, as requested, my first game thread of the season...last time out, I won in ST. Freddo...this is a surprisingly big game. We can't give Cleveland the chance to take 3/4 against us...and with JC on the mound tomorrow, a win today gives us a great chance at winning the series. Time to take out the trash! The lineup: Pods, LF; Cintron, 2B; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Dye, RF; AJ, C; Crede, 3B; Mack, CF; Uribe, SS; Garcia, RHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 We've got a good man on the bump tonight to get a W. Garcia (7-2, 4.31 ERA) is 3-0 with a 0.82 ERA in his last three starts at Cleveland. He's 5-2 with a 2.60 ERA in his career at Jacobs Field in eight appearances, including seven starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 What's the chances this game is played tonight? When I looked earlier in the day, there was a lot of rain in the forecast for Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/...pnav_undeclared I'm getting the same stuff Cleveland's getting, and it's moving through really quick. We'll see. I think we'll at least have enough time to make this official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxrd5 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Looks to me that there will be a passing tstorm mid game but they should be able to play it out afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 interesting that gooch is taking a seat tonight. wonder if that foot's still bothering him. you're right - it's an important game - a win insures at least a split. don't pitch to hafner, freddo.

He was ice cold yesterday too. Some time off probably would do him good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Iguchi struggled against W'brook last season, so Ozzie's just not playing him against Jake this season. Cintron started in game 2 of this season in the same match-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as tonight goes, Freddy is a big game pitcher and even though this isn't a day game, I'm expecting a good outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa1334 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 hopefully we can execute today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisox72 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Time to jump out on Westbrook early and execute well tonight. I am kind of suprised at Cintron getting the nod tonight, considering how pissed Ozzie probably was after his 9th inning brain cramp last night. Regardless, we need to bounce back and win this one... Freddy should bounce back from his outing Friday night rather well, I would expect. Lets go kick some ass.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Our best chance of winning tonight is if the wind is blowing in. If it's not, I can't envision Freddy holding the Indians under 4 runs in 7 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Everybody gets a day off except Thome, Konerko, Crede, and Uribe. Let's go back to the Sesame Street days and decide who doesn't belong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
