If you read The Diatribe (which you should) then you know Paul and friends are up at Wrigley Field for the series against the Cubs. I point this out mostly to say that I’m jealous. That’s all. Mark DeRosa and Kerry Wood have a ‘homecoming‘ of sorts. Look for new Indian Mike Gosling to make an appearance today. Personally, I think the Indians are just going for some sort of record for in-season transactions. As always, the comment section is open.

And…..rain delay. Why not.
I got free tickets to it from a friend today… luckily I live less than 500 feet from Wrigley and can wait for the game to start…. GO TRIBE
and with a combined 163 years of no world series success, ladies and gentlemen your 2009 Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians!
For anyone who happens to have the MLB iPhone app – today is a great day. Live streaming video is now available, and the Tribe game is included. Select games to start, every game is coming somewhere down the line!
If you don’t have it, get it – it’s only $10. Keeps people away from home dialed in. So pumped to use it this weekend, tomorrow’s game is on as well.
wow. people are paying to go watch these two teams?
I have to say Wrigley is one of the few parks that I have on my sports bucket list.
First pitch is scheduled for 3:45 ET/ 2:45 CT … radar looks like we should be able to get about 7 innings in for sure before the next storms comes here in Seattle/Chicago
seriously it’s been 20 straight days of rain or cloudy skies … I’m thinking about building an ark
i thought Cleveland was the Seattle of the midwest…
No kidding, Alex. I live in Lakeview. Going to the games on Saturday and Sunday. Hoping for better weather.
Jhhhhhony with a triple!
And Valbuena drives him home with a 3-run shot!!!
Did anybody else see that Bernie Kosar just filed for bankruptcy? Ouch.
Just curious, does anyone know if DeRo got a standing ovation from the Chicago faithful in the first? I would assume so..
Yes, DeRosa did indeed get a nice ovation…
In case you were wondering, Cliff – that’s run support coming from your offense.
Thought you’d need some clarification.
Wow, 5 strike outs already.
Cliff Lee has thrown 5… I guess I need to clarify there too!
Haha Rick. You succeeded in making me laugh there.
Go figure…Rich Harden gets the first base hit off Lee today.
7-1 Indians lead in the 5th.
Three runs so far off of Smith and Perez in the eighth. On the plus side, I guess that means we’ll see Wood — if we can get the last out of the inning without giving up a handful more.
…aaand as I post, GameChannel updates to show Herges taking care of Thierot. 7-6 going into the ninth. Wasn’t it 7-1 just a minute ago?
Jhhhhhhony with a catch.
And then the Cubs tie it.
Waiter? Check please.
I love the Indians and always will but I tell you… at this point the bullpen is so bad this year it’s comical and hard not to laugh when this happens.
Here’s hoping they can somehow pull out a “W.”
I am still at the game and wedge deserves to be fired over his mismanagement of the bullpen … Smith and Perez were out there way longer than they ever should have been
Alex is a dedicated reader/commenter.
Can’t believe D. Lee didn’t catch that foul. Then Soriano. The Cubs are to catching what the Tribe are to relief pitching.
Man, I was hoping the wind would have blown that one away from Fukodome. Poop.
Thanks denny but I needed to complain to someone other than the girl who claimed to be an indians fan but couldn’t name who was the starting sg for the cavs
She’s claiming to be an Indians fan, at Wrigley, and has no apparent interest in sports? What are you doing watching the game, man?
This is not looking good. Anyways – Alex how are you posting to the site? My phone only loads the WP mobile page that doesn’t allow for reading or posting comments. Can’t figure out how to change it. Stupid iphone.
: (
Denny, that’s not so much an iPhone problem as it is a failure in the design of the mobile site to have an override link somewhere. And, yeah, : (
FIRE WEDGE. NOW. 5 MINUTES AGO.
I’ve got a blackberry
And depression … Until tomorrow’s game with toma okah pitching … Then I’ll have a headache
No worries – thanks to booze, you can have a headache tomorrow before the game even starts!
Ah, booze….the cause of–and solution to–all of life’s problems
FIRE THE BULLPEN!
ALL OF THEM!
another day, another interesting way to lose…
I too was at the game, as I live less than I mile from Wrigley. Unfortunately, I have tickets for the game today as well. At least with Okha pitching, they’re not likely to ever have a lead to lose…
This team really is starting to be comical. I wake up every morning to see how they came up with a new way to lose. Then I read about this guy and that guy “recovering” from injuries. The Grinder always has good material too. Then I do the same thing every day. It is like a recurring nightmare.
