I know the last game thread didn't work out so well, maybe this one will? doubtful...

this was the first time I made a game thread so not sure why red sox logo so much bigger than tribe lol..maybe that's a foreshadowing for the series...

 

[Casualties14]

Will be lucky to avoid a sweep.

 

[sjhughes]

New month, time for us to get playing the way we are capable of.

 

[NorthCoastBias]

We play them on the 4th as well.

 

[SixPACK]

Oh, fuck.

Looking forward to Friday to see our new kid dynamo pitch.

Hopefully Lackey is terrible again tonight and we can get a win before we face another ace tomorrow night.

 

[elcheato]

Pretty important game tonight.. Need to beat Lackey. Beckett and Lester will be tough and Wakefield seemingly always dominates the Indians.

There's a game 4 btw

I have a feeling that Max doesn't have a good feeling about this series

Tonight's game is paramount. Lackey sucks, although he has been been better of late. Tomlin should be able to give us a chance, although a team like Boston can surely give him trouble. I know he had a great performance with them but that was when they were seriously struggling in the very beginning of the year. Boston has a good mix of contact hitters and power hitters who could give Tomlin problems. He will have to have both his cutter and curve working at a high level.

As mentioned by others tomorrow's game will be very difficult, and with Wakefield always pitching well against the tribe and CC struggling game 3 will be tough as well. Game 4 is a toss up with two ace pitchers battling. I know Vegas makes us considerable underdogs tonight, but I really feel that if we are going to win a game this series it is this one.

This is a 4 game series. Thread fail.

By the way it's looking like a suspension could be laid on CC. He's scheduled to go wednesday, looks like Jimenez won't go until friday, so who do we throw out there on wednesday if CC is suspended? Call up a Gomez?

 

[jonmchugh]

Lol my bad guys will make the adjustment...

Alex Whi...oh wait...

I'd imagine CC would just appeal the suspension until it's convinient.
