Longo’s Rays @ Red Hot Cleveland Indians 5/10-5/12

[Tobywan]

Damon pinch hitting for SRod takes a walk. DJ takes a third called strike, JD steals second no throw.

[Tobywan]

Shoppach hits a high fly to CF, JD tags and heads to third.

[Tobywan]

Fuld hits a foul ball that is caught by Brantley in left.

[Tobywan]

Peralta still pitching, Choo leads off the 9th with a walk.

[Tobywan]

Santana singles into right, Choo heads to third ahead of the throw, runners at the corners for Hafner who is issued an intentional walk. Bases loaded, no outs, O Cabrera on deck.

[Tobywan]

Farnsworth will attempt to get out of the jam.......these kind of moves usually bite us on the ass!

[Tobywan]

Maddon going with the 2 outfielders, 5 infielders.

[Tobywan]

Wow.......a chooper grabbed by Brignac, throw home for the force, still loaded, 1 out, Brantley the hitter.

[Tobywan]

Tribe fans on their feat, Farnsworth gives up a game winning walk to Brantley. Game over! The game was so good it's kind of a let down to end it in a walk, but oh well.

[Tobywan]

Looks like Super Sammy snapped the slump and the Rays snapped the Indians home win streak! Another good outing for Price.

[Tobywan]

Any wagers on whether the Rays will plunk someone today and if they do who it will be? I would say if they were farther ahead in the standings and it wasn't extremely hard for them to win at Progressive that some chin music would be in order after the back bean to Longo. However, I hope they keep their heads and just retaliate on the scoreboard.

I hope Fuld picks it back up again so I can either do well in fantasy or trade him.

[Tobywan]

How about those Devil Rays?
How about that James Shields?
How about that Matty J??
How about that Sam Fuld??

Even Brignac got a double!!

[love_that_reefer]

The first place Rays!! Casey Kotchman is a hit machine so far.

I know, I seem to remember a poster sending a barb about him my way in one of the off season threads, probably the same malcontent that usually has nothing but vile around here.

Anyway, seems that one of CK's main issues was sight, he had eye surgery in the off season and says it has made a world of difference.

Someone needs to wrap a rope around Brignac and get him to stop with all the ugly movements, he looks like he's convulsing at the plate. Evan was even trying to instruct him in the dugout Tuesday night to level out his swing. I still like him better at short though.
