25 pitches in the first ininng...34 through 2.

But he has struck out 5 of 6.

Down to 43 through 3. marson sitting at .199, it's becoming agonizing. I don't think he's made it to the Mendoza line once this year. One more hit tonight and he's there.

I was wrong. Lou peaked at .224 on May 2nd. He dropped below permanently on June 5th.

This line ups batting averages look like a dollar store advertsiement.

Exhausto is the ultimate team player. He gave up two solo shots just to extend the game to give Brantley the chance to continue to pursue Joe D. More ultimate drama as he leads off the bottom of the 10th.

You know it baby!! 9th inning last night, 10th inning tonight! 40 more to go!

we won!!...we won!!!

Great win. 60 and counting. Head to head with KC this weekend in the war for 4th place (Tribe a half game back, one back in the loss column). Exhausto extended his scoreless streak to 22 innings, Brantley got to 16 straight (Tribe trivia, were it not for a K in a pinch hitting appearance he'd be at 24 right now! and Brantley was hitting .118 at the All Star Break.). And sweet Lou up to .197. Regarding Mr Marson, there is one thing the INdians are best in the league at....speedy catchers. Tribe catchers 11 for 12 stealing bases...Lou 8 for 9...guitar legend 3 for 3 pre shredded-knee.)

The football clevenaders get KC too. Doesn't get much better than that....two cities that don't win facing off. I think the football game could be a tie.

Not the 90s anymore. Tribe team ERA in September--2.39 and team WHIP 0.97. Team record 7-7. That seems almost impossible to accomplish.
