Mets make a 7-0 comeback. Pretty good, havent seen those types of comebacks since 2006 which has been a very long time. Maybe a sign of things to come? Prolly not but one can hope.

Off day for the Tigers and an Indian loss. Doesn't get much better than that.

I meant 8 home runs total for Huff now on the year.

Haha oops. Yeah, he had 4 in the 1st 2 months, now he has 4 in the 1st two days of June. Ridiculous.

Should be interesting to see what the Tigers pull off against the White Sox. They'll have to be on their game. I'm more worried about the White Sox then I am the Indians.

 

[Lake Louise]

I'm not all that worried about them. I mean I know they will be a pain, like the Twins. Even though that was a sweep. Tigers just dominated the White Sux the first time around, and I know they aren't the same team they were at that time, but it did happen. I see a series win. Andy Oliver will hopefully be on it. I'm excited to see the Verlander vs. Jackson match up. Penny vs. Peavy has be curious. It originally was supposed to be Danks, but they made it Peavy now, which I understand. I'd expect some more close ones, like the Twins series.

Penny vs Peavy will be a scary match-up. As long as the Tigers come out on top, I don't care how close it is.

Indians are 3-0 against the Tigers and still in first.. But I guess you're right

The White Sox are a more proven team. This has came out of nowhere for the Indians, nobody knows if they will keep this up or not. Now everyone knows Chicago's track record, they are good pretty much every year. Also, all three games came down to a 1 run game. First game went extra innings and Detroit gave it away by giving up a grand slam, then the following day they lost 3-2 and then on Sunday they lost 5-4 so I'm not worried about it. Detroit was very competitive with them and the games could have gone either way. Still a long ways to go with a ton more games against the Indians.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

I'm not saying the Indians are a bad team or anything because so far they've been pretty good. While they've been doing what they need to, most of the AL Central teams have been scuffling a bit. Once these teams are firing on all cylinders, it should be an interesting battle to the end. I think Detroit can be just as good, if not better.

Inge to the 15 day DL with mono.
Go kiss Raburn lol.

Well, I would argue that it wasn't out of no where.. We improved last year from the 2009 season, with a lot of young guys. Our team ERA was top 3 in ERA I think in the second half of last year. The Indians had the youngest team in the MLB going into the year, and the young guys are starting to enter their prime.. The Indians might be a year ahead of schedule but they have the talent, and they're all starting to enter their prime. If Choo was actually hitting we would be even better..

 

[cruzg24]

Jose Reyes with 2 hits tonight. He just keeps hitting and hitting, best SS in baseball right now? Maybe. Definitely top 3.

 

[elcheato]

This is getting rediculous.. Our defense is starting to go in the tank even though we have good fielders around the diamond. Frustrating. At least Asdrubal is still hitting.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Lets see if the Tigers can rebound from last nights loss.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Brennan Bash puts the Tigers up 2-0 with a home run!

 

[Mexi]

NOW can we all agree Kemp > Cargo? lol

dude's a top 5 player right now.
to do what he does, with 0 protection is special (at least behind him)
and not in a hitters division

wow

today he hits a game tying GRAND SLAM
goes 3/4, 2 HR, 6 rbi

5th in MLB in homers (Yankee Stadium, Rogers, and Great American Small Park are the homes of those ahead of him)
10th in steals (all those ahead of him are speed demon leadoff hitters)

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Cabrera

=

Clutch

 

[Lake Louise]

Cabby = Beast is more like it lol


That was awesome. Had so many wasted opportunities, but pulled it off when it counted. 1-2 and Cabby crushes it for a homer. Such a beast, and i'm still laughing at the JV 100 MPH fastball to strike out Quentin in the 8th. Nice to shut him up.
