Can we please get Beltran already, and also I read Kipnis was just called up today, so hopefully he will provide a spark.

sorry gang, refuse to believe we cant come up with better outfielders in AA than what we’ve seen last two nights w/ valbuena and carerra…you’re in the majors? you make those plays….tonight’s bullpen boob is pestano….let’s see you get up 1-2 in count on future HOF’er valencia, having made him look sick on sliders and you throw him a fat fastball up and over the plate….time for jersey shore vinnie…but you get high marks for your sprint in from the bullpen….dork.

That should read “as soon as I saw the first line.” I’m really not doing so well today!

Oh crap…Mark you’re right, I’m not sure what I was thinking. (I’ll blame the heat for making part of my brain melt!) I’ll have to fix it later, I’m on my phone at the moment and it’s not letting me edit. You’re right about Brandon Phillips though; someone with more athleticism would’ve had that play. And I’m not sure what Austin Kearns was trying to do in stealing…he doesn’t strike me as a particularly fast runner! On the radio they said that Carrera had a terrible jump…if true, I guess all the speed in the world probably won’t help much.

TJ…today’s outfield makes me want to weep. I know there are tons of injuries right now, but still…yikes!

Vern, that cracks me up! As soon as the first line, all I could think of is, “how does he know what Blyleven’s rear end looks like?!” I’m glad you explained!

Is the outfield today of (from left to right) of Valbuena, Carrera and Kearns, perhaps the worst in the history of the Tribe, doubly so for a team fighting for first place?

“If Orlando Cabrera’s arm was 3 inches longer…” or if we had Brandon Phillips out there!

2 caught stealing today and second in a row for Carrera. Isn’t he supposed to be fast?

One minor correction to the post. Valencia did not hit a home run off of Perez yesterday, it was a soft single in front of Valbuena.

Here’s one thing that I know about Bert Blyleven: what his naked rear end looks like (about what you’d expect).

I used to work for a tire company. One of my colleagues there–let’s call her Cheryl–was related to one of the players on the Indians (it wasn’t Bert). Cheryl once showed me an outtake from a team photo. At first glimpse, it looks like every other team photo you’ve ever seen, until you notice that Blyleven has his pants down around his ankles, his bare ass pointed toward the camera, and a huge grin on his face. What a prankster.
