    Second inning, Tribe plate one. Kinsler hits two-run homer. 7-1, Texas. Pavano’s ERA: 45.00

  • Alex

    Jesus Christ

    … Actually I don’t think even he could save Pavano in this game

  • Jon

    Well this is quite a depressing start to the season.

  • Alex

    Action Jackson ready to relieve… here we go (on to Toronto)

  • http://www.waitingfornextyear.com Scott

    Ha. Jackson out of the pen after an inning plus. WONDERFUL.

  • Jon

    “I don’t think Peralta even knew where the bag was…”

  • http://www.waitingfornextyear.com/ Rick

    The Rangers announcers said that Pavano was “touching 90″ on his fastball. Um. That is not a good sign.

  • BisonDeleSightings

    This is not going well.

  • Jon

    Pavano’s final ERA is 81.00? I guess he didn’t want to be out done by Carmona and Lee.

    I’m just waiting for someone to say ‘Why is everyone so worried, it’s only game 3…’

  • http://www.waitingfornextyear.com Scott

    If the Yanks win (up 3-2 right now), we’ll be the only winless team in the AL.

  • Boomhauer

    Anybody want to buy my share of a season ticket package?

  • Boomhauer

    Don’t worry, we have Scott “The Stopper” Lewis going tomorrow and Cliff “I Put in My 1 Good Year to Get Another Contract” Lee on Saturday.

  • http://www.waitingfornextyear.com Craig

    The day just got brighter for Aaron Laffey and even jeremy Sowers

  • http://www.waitingfornextyear.com Scott

    …and anyone that took the over

  • Alex

    Hey… ESPN gamecast says we still have a 5% chance to win… WE CAN BUILD ON THIS

  • Wiggles

    Hey, don’t give up yet. Remember, we’re playing the Rangers; anyone can score 6 runs off their bullpen.

    Of course, we’re also playing the Rangers. They could score 20 runs of anyone’s bullpen…

  • Boomhauer

    Just gotta keep GRINDING…

  • B-bo

    3 down, 159 to go

  • Eli

    It looks like after today, unless the Yankees lose, we’ll share the worst record in baseball with the Nationals!

    Yea, its only 3 games, but we got shalacked in all of em.

  • Boomhauer

    If Pavano pitches 8 shutout innings in his next start, his era will still be 9.00! LOL!!

    DeRosa’s been great so far. Too bad for him we aren’t playing teams from the World Baseball Classic.

  • DCBucks

    0-??? gets Wedge fired?

  • http://www.waitingfornextyear.com Scott

    “0-??? gets Wedge fired?”

    Gotta put this one on Shapiro. Rolled the dice instead of spending money.

  • http://www.waitingfornextyear.com DP

    Wedge ain’t the one out there pitching…

  • http://www.waitingfornextyear.com Denny

    And you all thought I was an idiot with my full-season projections – still goin strong.

  • http://www.waitingfornextyear.com DP

    you might be low on your “runs allowed” projection, Denny.

  • Boomhauer

    7 strikeouts already by Indians hitters…see my post under last night’s game recap. Time to start the annual “Fire Derek Shelton” chants!

  • Alex

    Think TD can get an Indians moratorium started?

  • http://www.waitingfornextyear.com TD

    The Zach Attack!!! Lone bright spot….

  • DCBucks

    Since when does the GM fire himself?

  • http://www.waitingfornextyear.com Scott

    TD – was just about to say the same thing. Five Ks, two hits in 3+ innings.

  • adam

    omar vizquel knocks an 81mph fastball to center to make it a 10-3 game

  • mendy

    …oy

  • D-Train

    we can go 80-1 at home, and we’ll be fine.

    oh wait, we’re talkin about the tribe.

  • http://www.jrosen.wordpress.com Jacob Rosen

    Less than 80 innings. Didn’t I just say this a couple of times now?

  • buu

    hey, do you care about winning the game, or do you want to see the tribe hit some dingers!?!

  • S-Dub

    Maybe Reyes will provide us with some hope, and who knows what we get from Scott Lewis. Anyone think our rotation after the break will be #1: Fausto, #2: Reyes, #3: Laffey, #4: Sowers, #5: Huff with a sprinkle of Rondon and maybe Jackson.

    Maybe DeRosa can strike out some more? Haf should eat more meat and get bigger like he was when he juic… I mean before his shoulder hurt.

    We’re a disaster.

  • AMC

    This team depresses me. I wish I could just ignore them until the Cavs season ends, but alas, I’m a Cleveland fan.

  • TampaBrett

    Indians are the new Royals of the past years! Yesssssssssssssssssssss

  • Big Show

    Maybe the Rangers are going to go 162-0, and we are just their first victims!

    OK, maybe not. Why is it that it seems like any year we expect the Tribe to be really good we get this, but when we don’t expect much the come oh so close. Realistically I am not giving up after one series and won’t even if two or three more go bad. Do I expect CL to win the Cy Young again this year? No, but I didn’t at the start. Do I expect any of our first three pitchers to pitch this bad, no but I didn’t at the start. Tribe will get things going and will make a run. Money is still going to need to be spent to win, but we will be competitive I believe.

  • Ron

    Hey, if you can remember the Tribe started 0-3 in 1996 and went on to win 96 or 99 games that year, you gotta have faith. On Opening Day maybe Wedge did make a mistake by leaving Lee in after he got hit in his left forearm(I would have taken him out) and maybe Pavano might be better suited as a softball pitcher but it’s early and the Tribe does have POWER. GOOD LUCK on Friday !!!! GO TRIBE!!!
