I feel like
this will either break some sort of comment record, or everyone will leave by the 3rd inning cause Carlos Carrasco couldn’t get fischean out.

no runs. Good Carlos.

I was wondering if there was going to be a game thread. At this point these games are just as important as ours
by lookatthosetwins on Sep 24, 2009 7:30 PM EDT reply actions
Should I be worried...
I’m pretty sure Carlos Carrasco was reading my electricity meter at the beginning of the summer
I don't know
What did your bill look like that month?
by lookatthosetwins on Sep 24, 2009 7:32 PM EDT up reply actions
Well...
It looked a lot like his ERA…we were running the AC a lot
by Daniel Louden on Sep 24, 2009 7:35 PM EDT up reply actions
So I was doing some figuring
and I give the Indians a 36% chance of winning this game. I actually expected it to be less than that
by lookatthosetwins on Sep 24, 2009 7:32 PM EDT reply actions
sure would be nice to be two back
instead of three with 10 to play
my floor is looking pretty dirty... BETTER GET OUT THE BROOM!!!
Agreed. But lets look at our starting pitcher's lines so far...
Verlander 2 IP 0 H0 BB 4 K
Carrasco 2 IP 1 H 2 BB 0 K.
Doesn’t look promising
by lookatthosetwins on Sep 24, 2009 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions
4 K's?
Verlander shouldn’t worry about striking people out. Strikeouts are boring, besides that they’re fascist. He should throw some ground balls; more democratic
by Daniel Louden on Sep 24, 2009 7:39 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah
Especially when you consider we’ll be facing Greinkster twice.
by Daniel Louden on Sep 24, 2009 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions
Good news is I think they're being very careful with him at this point in the season
If we don’t have too many Delmon-esque at bats I’d expect him to only go 5 or 6.
by lookatthosetwins on Sep 24, 2009 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions
Still...
We’ve not faced him yet and he’ll be pushing for the Cy Young…I’m pretty pessimistic about those two games, but yeah, if we could get to their bullpen we’d be in decent shape.

Let's go Tribe!

The good news is is that Carrasco's ERA has gone down a run all ready
by lookatthosetwins on Sep 24, 2009 7:41 PM EDT reply actions
Well, hey!
If he can pitch a shutout he’ll be at negative-something, right?

How did his parents take it? I’ll bet they were disappointed, his dad’s a preacher…

2-0
and 2 pickoff attempts! Crowe’s in his head!

Nice at bat Marte!
Don’t let anyone tell you you’re a bust
by lookatthosetwins on Sep 24, 2009 7:49 PM EDT reply actions
2 Runs?
That’s all they need with ‘lights out’ Carrasco.
I call him that because he always used to threaten “lights out” if we didn’t pay our power bill on time.
Well..
Since Nathan won’t be pitching tonight I figured I would be the one to make peoples stomachs turn
by Daniel Louden on Sep 24, 2009 7:57 PM EDT up reply actions
Verlander can't find the plate with his fastball.
by montanatwinsfan on Sep 24, 2009 7:56 PM EDT reply actions
Shoot
Looks like he found it with the change up
by Daniel Louden on Sep 24, 2009 7:59 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, but indians doing some damage here,
how many pitches has he thrown this inning? 27 now?
by montanatwinsfan on Sep 24, 2009 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions
yeah
He’s up to 60 for the game…hopefully they can tire out the Tigers bullpen for the sox games

Anyway, lets hope they start overachieving
We need them to help us out now
by lookatthosetwins on Sep 24, 2009 8:09 PM EDT up reply actions
Honestly
I’m glad Williams is claiming that they’re underachievers. That means he’s backing up Ozzie, and as long as Ozzie is managing that team he’ll continue to be completely insane and shoot the white sox in the foot

Man
I think Carrasco is in a loop like Groundhog day. Single, man on first goes to third, single, man on first goes to third, single, man on first goes to third…let’s hope he at least learns how to play the piano and save a homeless man while he’s kicking our pennant hopes in the ass.

At least Perez stopped the bleeding. Hopefully we can get something going against the bullpen.

Leyland is riding Verlander
like a rented mule again tonight. I get it—flags fly forever. But You gotta think your bullpen can get you through 3 innings with a 3 run lead against a team as bad as the Tribe.

Alright
Surely NOW Verlander is done, right?
Right???
