Those pitching matchups look lethal. Time for the bats to come alive.

 

["Boobie" Gibson]

Chatwood's going to be good... but it isn't his time to shine yet. I see us beating him... and possibly sneaking a 1-0 (or 2-1) win out against Haren. He can't possibly do what he did last time... nope!

 

[SauDogg]

We have to face Weaver AND Haren? No problem.

 

[Chardon]

Why are we out west again? When are these guys going to come out here?

 

[Marcus]

Back to back against Weaver and Haren... yikes.

 

[DJTJ]

Gotta watch Alex White on Saturday. I'll probably catch the other games on the radio.

 

[Gimme Some Mo]

Have to take the 1st game or we could very well get swept just because Weaver and Haren are that good. I would take a 2-1 series win a heart beat here.

At this point, I am not even going say Choo AND Santana have to get it going.... I just want Choo OR Santana to get it going.

Great series win today. Oakland isn't an easy place to win, especially in day games. Off to LA: we owe them one. Better yet 3.

I like their chances here. Masterson vs. Chatwood favors the Tribe and I think they can get one of the White/Weaver and Carmona/Haren matchups. If White can shake his first start jitters, he still has the element of surprise on the Angels hitters since there is no 'book' on him yet. Carmona held his own against Haren last time, so if the offense can do anything for him they stand a chance in that game, too. Angels have a little better pitching, but they also have a very hot/cold offense that the Tribe pitching can exploit.

I really hope Boobie's fantasy team takes it up the ass on Sunday

I'll settle for one and would be happy with 2 here.

A sweep would be incredible and probably would sell the entire league on the Indians.

Fuck dude, me too... my pitching has been phenomenal so far this year... except for this week... I'm like 1-6 already, WTF?

Dan Haren - L
Jered Weaver - L
Josh Johnson - L

Cleveland Indians - W, W, W, W......... etc.

EDIT: Shit, I shouldn't have said I have Weaver too :-X

my thoughts exactly. even before we began this roadtrip i would've been happy with a 3-3 split. anything more than that is gravy

 

[Cursed]

There's just no way we take all three having to face both Weaver and Haren. But if we can snag two I'd be freaking ecstatic.
