Matt LaMarte out by 10 feet at the plate.

Boy, Santana is an awful catcher.

Tied at two...haven't looked how....but saw our 3rd run turn into our 3rd out cause the 3rd base coach sent Speedy LaPorta around and he dove instead of sliding.

Then Riddik stole 1st....maybe I should go back outside and pressure wash some more stuff

1st and 3rd with two outs Santana has a chance to make up for being a shitty catcher tonight

and he drops it between 3 sux in short right-center to take a one run lead.

Phuck you do me up next

Riddik puts one over the fence just out of fukudome's reach.

Not quite making a splash with his new team.

Just tallied that 8 of our last 10 losses have been by two runs or less.

4 have been by one run.

Pronk with a long double....

Santana with an even longer HR.....that's 3 rbi for him tonight.

and we take a 5-3 lead. Can we hold it.

Cool!

I just ran to pick up trout to bake for dinner in a bit. Nice surprise to find the lead as I was only gone a few minutes.

Maybe I should go get more trout.....

At least three of those were uncommon when the bullpen gave up the lead and/or ultimately the game.

Cant really blame them. Without looking I'd say the starters blew 2 or 3 early on.....but I still can't place all the blame on them.

I have to think it's the lack of timely hits. Sure we won a couple in the last at bat this year...but we really shouldn't be waiting that long.

It's really a team effort to lose....but I think the offense is the more offensive of the two right now.

LaPorta should play tonight vs Bedard and he needs to tatoo that LF wall at least twice and knock one over the RF band box.

Thus far LaPorta is 2 for 3 tonight with a double and RBI.

Action in The Tribe pen as pitch 105 is delivered by Masterson.



Durbin and R Perez

Kipnis let's what should have been and inning ending a DP play relay attempt nick his glove and get away.

Though I guess with Crawford at the plate, the DP shouldn't be presumed.


1st and 2nd, with one out and Masterson still in to face Josh Reddick.

NOW two down.

Acta really wants Masterson to go a full 6 and keep the bullpen down to 9 outs tonight.



And he does with his 9th K of the night.


Our 7th coming.

Boston certainly made Masterson work hard tonight.

118 pitches in 6 innings. Only 1 walk.
