CLE: Carmona
DET: Who knows?

Bonderman was scheduled to start, but is pitching in a B game because Leyland didn't want to showcase him to the Indians before it was absolutely necessary.

In other Tigers news, Granderson is hurt, and Miguel Cabrera is on the verge of signing an eight year contract north of $150 million. Blah.

It doesn't look like there's any audio for today's game, so I have no idea how any of us will follow this game. Let's just make this a dumping ground for all thoughts Spring Training.

Me, I'm really excited about Aubrey's (SSS alarm) performance so far.

Man, I really thought this was 300 characters. Umm, everyone give suggestions for what Andrew should hold up at the Indians-Mets game on Friday (ESPN televised).

The Elusive Right Handed Bat

Well, since there's going to be a ton of discussion about this, I thought I might start something here about potential bats to target.

A few guidelines:

Be realistic.
Platoons are always an option.
Think about how we match up (trade wise) with other teams needs.
Playing multiple positions (flexibility!) is a bonus.
Plate discipline is preferred, though our organization is good at helping youth with their approaches.
Left handed bats are OK, but RH is preferable ... I guess.

A few (just to get the ball rolling):
Atkins, Garret, Colorado, 3B
Johnson, Kelly, Atlanta, 2B (LH)
Guillen, Jose, Seattle (Bavisi!)
Ethier, Andre, LAD (LH; they hate youth!)
Kemp, Matt, LAD (lefty masher, needs work on PD)

Have at it.

Yep.

NEGATIVITY NEED NOT APPLY. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR MOANING, WHINING, ETC. THAT JUST MAKES US SOUND LIKE RED SOX FANS OR CUBS FANS OR ANY OTHER FANS THAT WHINE AND MOAN AND BITCH.

WE SUPPORT THE CLEVELAND INDIANS. WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT, BUT WE WON'T ACT LIKE BABIES ABOUT IT, EITHER.

LGT.

GO TRIBE

I can't wait 4.5 hours. I'm just as antsy and riled up - maybe even nervous today - as I was before Games 1 and 2. I really hope we jump on Clemens in the 1st, and Westbrook sets the Yankmee's down 1-2-3 with 3 groundballs to Jhonny.

Grady sets the tone today, baby. It's TRIBE TIME NOW!

LET'S GO TRIBE!

I'm bored. What are you doing today?

Gradyforpresident — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 20:08:59 -0000

Well, since there's no game today, I don't know what to do with myself. My voice is almost entirely gone. The first thing any friend I run across says to me is: "I bet you're happy today." Strangers tell me "Go Tribe" on the streets.

But there's no game. And I'm really bored. So, how is everyone else using the off day?
