Marte hungry for a real opportunity

The last sentence says it all:

"If nothing else, [Marte]'s mastered the art of catching ceremonial first pitches."

I don't know if anyone else here is a big baseball card geek like I am, but I've been making a few of these and thought I'd share one. Trying to ruin the photo to match the original set is the most enjoyable part. This isn't a particularly good job; the hue needs to be off, and I think I added too much "noise." But here it is!

I hope this isn't a duplicate. My last thread never showed up.

Oh, c'mon people! It's Indians baseball, and this one's on TV!

Basketball is NOT more interesting than this.

As I write Byrd just hit B.J. Upton in the elbow and he's out of the game.

Also - the new Rays unis are ugly. And the logo. And the name change itself.

This had better be 300 characters. I don't want to have to copy over that text like usual.

I'm not going to let y'all get away with it this time! Game thread up ten minutes early, so take THAT!

Sizemore, CF
Dellucci, LF
Hafner, DH
Martinez, 1B
Peralta, SS
Blake, 3B
Gutierrez, RF
Cabrera, 2B
Shoppach, C

Sabathia is on the mound. The lineup looks like a regular season one for a Byrd start.

Wow. Nobody started a diary for today's game? I get here late to find NOTHING? Shame on you all. Shame. Shame. Shame.

One-line diaries are prohibited on Let's Go Tribe!. Give your diary a bit more thought, then give it another shot. If you have nothing to add to your proposed diary, then it probably belongs as a comment under another appropriate thread.

Fausto Carmona goes for the Tribe against the Blue Jays. The game is on the radio but I don't know about anything else. McDonald, Inglett, Luna all starting for the Jays. Hat trick!

Paul Byrd gets the start for the Indians as they face the Devil Rays in the road. The starting lineup looks like this:

Gutierrez, CF
Michaels, LF
Peralta, SS
Hafner, DH
Garko, 1B
Cabrera, 2B
Carroll, 3B
Haad, C
Tyner, RF

Both of these teams are American League teams. Paul Byrd is the Cobra. Haad has two vowels in his last name. Free Jason Bay.

The game is on both STO and WTAM today. To all of you in Ohio, you've got no excuse not to be here, since you're hopelessly snowed in. Hope everyone's doing okay!

The minimum is 300 characters.
