Gammons just picked the Indians to win the World Series. He picked them to beat the Braves though which shows he is probably suffering from dementia. :mellow:

iirc, E. Young picked the Tigers over the Braves on BB2N (and maybe one of the other guys too). Maybe they are on to something!?!?!?! What a great show that used to be....poor Ravich....

Plus, John Kruk picked the Indians to lose to the Cubs. :)
 
Did not look good for Victor. Crap

Looked like he grabbed the back of his leg. So it's not a knee. And he did walk off without help. Whew

See that Shoppach is in...what happened for those who aren't watching? I'm guessing he hurt it on the play he scored?

Reporting Martinez is day-to-day w/ "tightness" in the hamstring

ETA: nothing like losing your best hitter on opening day

AWESOME!!!

You guys had the benefit of watching it on either STO or WKYC (I'm guessing the latter since I got CSN out of Chicago thanks to DirecTV). I had to endure the torture of listening to Hawk Harrelson and Darrin Jackson, two of the biggest homers on broadcast TV. They are tools of the first order. :mellow:

Give me Manning anyday.

I pay money to see Tribe games on DirecTV here in the middle of Pirates country. Plus, the closest Tribe station is 570 WKBN-AM in Youngstown, and it doesn't come in so well at the house. In the car, much better.

10 Reasons why Hawk must go! :lol:
1. Repetitive nature. See Hawkisms. The Hawk has "described" the events in a ballgame with the same lame catch phrases for over 20 seasons.

2. Homer. The Hawk is more cheerleader than broadcaster. He calls the Sox the “good guys,” and the opponents, “bad guys.” Why is Harrelson such a rabid Sox fan anyway? It's weird. He should have been a fan when he was General Manager. (Like listening to him whine for 30 MINUTES about the non-interference call in the 8th innning. Let. It. Go.

3. Hillbilly. The fair city of Chicago is the third largest media market in the country. So why must we listen to a South Carolinian carnival barker with NO White Sox connection? But wait, he was GM, you say? Yes, read on.

4. GM Schmee-Em. Harrelson's .239 career batting average looks good compared to his run as Sox GM in 1986. He fired Tony LaRussa, the most successful manager in the game today, over personal differences. He traded Bobby Bonilla for a pitching machine (Jose DeLeon). He almost single-handedly sent the team to Florida. How can any self-respecting Sox fan support The Hawk? (I forgot about his run as Sox GM. Sadly, he also sucked in an Indians uniform.

5. "The Best at this/that." You can count on The Hawk to tell you who the best player in any particular situation is- no matter how specific. "'Nobody can draw a walk in a day game like Carl Yastrzemski, DJ. Nobody. He's the best I've ever seen at that.'"

6. Playing Daze. The Hawk yaps incessantly about what it was like when he played. "We used to play with cow patties...we had cow patty bases...cow patty balls..."

7. Yastrzemski man-crush. When he's extra fired up, Harrelson shows evidence of a disturbing Carl Yastrzemski man-crush, gushing about the BoSox slugger for innings at a time. (It pretty much rivals Madden on Favre.)

8. Dead Air. The Hawk often says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for minutes at a time, especially when the Sox are losing. (That's when you know it's going bad.)

9. Jay Mariotti obsession. The Hawk regularly wastes valuble air time confronting his arch nemesis, Jay Mariotti. Just call the game, Harrelson. Don't be such a baby. (Tool vs. Tool as far as I'm concerned.)

10. Because he sounds like that Boomhauer guy from "King of the Hill."

Same thing happened last year. He missed 6 games IIRC and did NOT go on the DL.
 
Some ugly baseball going on in Oakland. Can't believe they even won yesterday.

On the good side...nice to see Cliff Lee with a solid outing.

 
I'll take it. When you lose the first two it's good to get the last game of a series.

Our LF rotation is killer!

It's good to win every game :goodposting: I'm afraid of being the techy pick -- instead of picking boston/NYY/detroit the ESPN guys have their eyes set on the tribe. I don't know but rarely do consensus techy picks make it. We have a great rotation and pen as well as good hitting, I certainly think we can do it though! :popcorn:
