Against AL pitching Fukudome is 8-45 this season. Batting 6th he's 0-1. He hit leadoff 98% of the time.

I thought the Royals were in last place. Then why are we losing, 7-0?

Carrasco just gave up a granny, then threw at the next batter, behind his head!

It just got away from him, I'm sure. Either that or he is an idiot and looking for a suspension.

According to ESPN.COM Carrasco was ejected three times:

Cleveland's C Carrasco ejected by S Barry in the 4th. 7 0
C Durbin relieved C Carrasco. 7 0
C Durbin relieved C Carrasco. 7 0
Cleveland's C Carrasco ejected by S Barry in the 4th. 7 0
C Durbin relieved C Carrasco. 7 0
C Durbin relieved C Carrasco. 7 0
Cleveland's C Carrasco ejected by S Barry in the 4th.

Please Chris Antonelli, don't waste your time, money, or minor league talent on any more trades unless you think avoiding finishing 4th is worth the commitment. This team is dead in the winter.

Forgot to mention Tribe already has 2 hits vs. pitcher with ERA just below 5.

Matt Packer comes into tonight's Aeros start with 4 high quality starts in a row. Total for the 4:

29 1/3 innings
21 hits
6 runs
5 walks
25 strikeouts


He's started tonight with 4 shutout innings; in a tie game so far.

[in hia previous 6 starts: 28IP 48 hits 31 runs; he's sure settled down!]

Mike Rayl promoted to Kinston, not looking sharp in early going.

Future All Star CF Luigi Rodriguez, aka LRod, with a rbi 2b in his Midwest League debut.

Joe Colon with 5 shutout 1 hit innings in the book for the Scrappers and 7 K.

he's a 21 year old 6-0 167 RH. Doesn't sound promising.

new guy has struck out with runner on first and one out. grounded to 2nd with runner on 2nd and 2 out.

Will be fun to see if Acta pitches to Butler the rest of the series or not.

I missed Carrasco getting tossed.

Other than that, I've had most of the game on. Not much to say about it, other than we are close to going 27 innings scoring a total of ONE earned run.

Well THAT was the highlight of tonight's viewing. Camera just panned the 9th inning stands and caught a blonde with VERY nice legs.

Let's get a run. Sheesh.

Lead off runner is on.

11 more base runners and we can tie.

Orlando Cabrera with a chance to wreck the shut out. Do it.
