Grady
Lee, Long Ball Equal Nine Straight
One of my bigger complaints earlier in the season was when Cliff Lee would wind up with a no decision after pitching masterfully through seven or eight innings, either thanks to a lack of run support or a bullpen implosion.

The not-so-good news - Travis Hafner's shoulder is barking again.
According to the Plain Dealer's Web site, Hafner was kept out of the lineup down in Buffalo yesterday and today because of pain in his shoulder.
This would seem to be a setback by any definition...

Grady Sizemore put on a great display of power in our game against the Indians on Monday, much like he has been doing all season long. Every time we play Cleveland, there are always comparisons made b...

Game 133: Indians at Tigers
PREGAME: Please Tigers. Please show up tonight. Please Verlander, don't crap out once again against an Indians team missing Hafner, Martinez, and Blake. Please offense, beat the stuffing out of Carmona. Please top of the order, drive in a run, or 12. I can't take the sucking anymore.
