No cost for the tickets and I can meet someone near 271 on the east side.
BUCK: I wasn't able to go last Sunday, but if you have any more tix to give away, let me know. I live in Cleveland Hts.

I bought the app for $14.99 today that allows me to watch the games on my iPhone.

I have the Dodgers-Cubs on now and the clarity and viewing is great.

I know Baron has mentioned listening on his iPhone before, but not sure if anyone else here has tried.

It seems to be well worth the season charge of $14.99....at least in the first couple innings of viewing. Of course it's necessary to be an mlb.tv subscriber in order get this for the extra $14.99

If I'm interpreting MLB.tv correctly, our Saturday game does not appear to be blacked out nationally. Just three games are listed as FOX blackouts.

This rainout might have been just what Crash Davis ordered after last night's bad tasting loss.

By not playing today, we picked up a 1/2 game on the White Sox, and picked up a 1/2 game on the Royals. Both lost today.

We stayed even with Minnie, of course.

The Tigers, in beating the White Sox, were the only team to gain on us.

Daytime baseball tomorrow, and Carmona going.

Pretty much all better than playing baseball on a cold and wet Friday night the day after a tough loss.

At least there are SOME things you can depend on in this world:

Milton Bradley - OF - Mariners

Milton Bradley left Friday's game against the Athletics with lower back spasms.
Bradley was replaced by Michael Saunders in left field after two innings.

We initially thought it had something to do with an illness that caused him to miss Thursday's game. He's currently listed as day-to-day.

My confidence in the Tribe is so fragile that the 2 game losing streak has me thinking the funk is on.

Nope. Balls to the wall.


I'll ride the coaster arms up until June. At least.

Wonder where the phrase "Balls to the Wall" came from.

To push to the limit, go all out, full speed.

In fact it is from fighter planes. The "balls" are knobs atop the plane's throttle control. Pushing the throttle all the way forward, to the wall of the cockpit, is to apply full throttle.

WHIP for starters to date:

No. 1 Carmona 1.35
No. 2 Masterson 1.14
No. 3 Carrasco 1.31
No. 4 Tomlin 0.89
No. 5A Talbot 1.22
No. 5B Gomez 2.54

(Carrasco I've read pitches between Carmona and Masterson to avoid similar styles back to back, but Justin was rated No. 2 to start season)

Hear that?

It's the JBs- Jimmy Dolan is scratching his guitar, Maceo is blowing his horn and Mr. Brown himself is ready to hit the stage.

The Tribe is off on the funk track.
