vs. INDIANS, 5/22

[Aglets]

Word is that Justin Masterson is starting tonight for Cleveland on short rest (from cbssports.com). Not sure what that will mean for Friday night's game, as a new CLE starter will be needed then.

Masterson has been poor even on regular rest. I predict a Chris Davis night.

Cleveland is OPSing .627 so far this year against lefties (.774 against righties). Hope that bodes well for Chen.

I've got a feeling in mah tummy that David Lough is going to do something tonight.

Go O's Go!

What's the weather look like down there? Forecast was pretty ugly earlier.

Didn't Standard Oil start in Ohio?

looks like a mesocyclone is heading that way and will be arriving just after 7. lovely. might blow over.

Balfour blows another one.

[notyourbuddy]

Maddon going with the #saverule as well I see. MLB managers are so stubborn.

[Chavez Ravine]

Balfour blows another one.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Yikes! That sounds bad! I looked at Thw Weather Channel hourly and it was 0% chance all day and then suddenly at 7pm it was 65%.

Come on Chen

[scOtt]

Francona loading his lineup with lefties? Even his switch-hitters?

[scOtt]

Not this switch-hitter...
