Without actually saying it... Anthony Castrovince is saying that we may finally get our wish with Grady Sizemore being shut down for the rest of the season so he can undergo the surgery that he needs to fix his elbow.

@castrovince: Sizemore not in lineup, Brantley leading off and head trainer Lonnie Soloff meeting w/media @ 4:30. Connect the dots...

My tweet is so much better.

@TheTribeDaily: Sizemore not in the lineup, Soloff meeting with the media. @castrovince tells us connect the dots. This can only mean we're trading Peralta.

Wow so much Peralta malice lately, I don't know what's gotten into me.

Anyway...

Today's lineup...

CF Brantley
LF Carroll
SS Cabrera
3B Peralta
DH Hafner
RF LaPorta
2B Valbuena
1B Marte
C Shoppach

Next Year's Lineup..

LF Brantley
SS Cabrera
CF Sizemore
RF Choo
3b Peralta
DH Hafner
1B LaPorta
2B Valbuena
C Marson

Maybe?

My god what is going on here!?

Man and this sucks because I just finished this article an hour before the news came out.

Interesting developments.... Indeed

Soloff will deliver the news, or some sort of news, at 4:30ish.. Okay.. Brantley will lead off at 7:05.. Or probably ten or twenty minutes after that since the Indians don't bat first.

Carl Pavano returns tonight!
