Injuries sure are playing their part this season, along with the lack of starting pitching. Funny thing is that the bullpen is 4 - 0 holding the lead after 7 innings. Didn't think we would only have the lead 4 times, this far into the season.

tigers made a mistake with dontrell Harvey
Really to hard to make a call on Willis after 2 or 3 starts.
I agree ...
First off, he's new to the AL and then he's injured and hasn't been able to getr into a good rhythm yet this year.
Would help everyone if the bats start hitting.

Their bats are awake
19 Runs last night!!! Starting Pitching is not where it needs to be, but the bullpen has been showing up lately.

Sheffield almost won last night's game with the bases juiced, but he hit it into Death Valley. If he had pulled it aabout 10' left, it would have been gone. Nice win this afternoon. Gallaraga pitched another fine game. What happens when Willis is healthy and this kid is still on the roll? Maybe its time for Robertson to hit the bullpen for a while?
A few Tribe updates from last week.........
Wednesday's Tribe/Kansas City game was rained out, so they chose to make it up the next day with a twilight double header starting at 7pm! ..........
The Tribe won both games, with the late game victory going to our #5 starter Cliff Lee. Lee pitched a complete game shutout while allowing only 3 hits and 9 strike outs! Lee is now 4-0 with a league leading 0.28 ERA!!!For those of you who don't remember, early last year when Lee came off the DL, he was so bad he was sent down to AAA and wasn't called up the remainder of the season. He wasn't even on the post season roster! This year, Lee won the #5 starting spot and hasn't looked back since. He's won every game he's started so far while throwing 29K's and walking only 2! Lee should easily be considered for comeback player of the year.
On Friday and Saturday, the Tribe continued their improved play by beating the Yankees. I was at the Saturday game and when Victor Martinez broke the 3-3 tie in the 9th inning, the place erupted!
Yesterday's loss to the Yanks was a classic pitching dual with the final score being 1-0. Wang and Sabathia both threw gems. On the bright side, this is now Sabathia's second dominant pitching performance in a row. Yesterday, he threw for 8 innings, allowed 4 hits, 1ER and 9 strike outs. It appears the "old" C.C. is back!

Except, he was out-dominated.If you didn't win , you didn't dominate anyone.
