SEA: The HONEY NUT ICHIRO'S come to town losers of 3 striaight.. They're very young, and seem to be one of the middle of the pack type of teams... Although the pitchers are strong, the everyday lineup is very suspect.. Other than Ichiro and Sexon, the M's have many questions marks up and down their lineup... None more so than Adrian Beltre'.. Can he regain the 2004 form that got him his huge contract ????


CLE: The tribe is extremely hot, winning 5 of 6 to start the 06 season.. They find themselves with the longest winning streak and the best record in the BIGS...

You always want to take 2/3 in each series, but when you're hot like this, you might as well just start thinking BIG...

This team I beleive got shut out two nights in a row last week, I may be mistaken but I know they threw up a dougnut at least once. The key to beating them is to make them hit your pitch. Paint the corners on guys like Sexson and Beltre and in turn they will swing at some balls. Don't give them anything to hit especially with RISP.

Hopefully Cliffy can get some grounders off of Iricho, I'm always afraid to watch him bat because an infield dribbler can be turned into a single and this guy can go upper deck with the flick of a wrist.

Tribe stays SMOKING takes the first two before dropping the last

Note: Tribe killer Jamie Moyer is no longer with the Mariners I beleive I couldn't stand watching him strike everyone out throwing pitches hitting around 53 mph on the radar gun :thumbdown

[cdt]

I really thing Hafner needs to work on his offseason strength and conditioning :chuckles: Barehanded bull wrangling simply isn't enough..

 

[cdt]

2 run dinger for Lopez :thumbdown 6-2 Tribe..get cliffy out of the inning and go to Mota..

 

[cdt]

Thank god we got out of that one, thats going to be all for Cliff Lee. He will leave with a 6-2 lead lets hope Miller can go one Mota can go one and Big Bahhhb Wickman can fight through a series of heartattacks to close this one out :chuckles:

 

[cdt]

That Cabrera can really zip the ball in there wow..just keep it low and he will be a perfect 1 inning guy before Mota and Bahhb. When he left it up it got pounded off the wall..

 

[cdt]

Here comes Hafner up with runners on 2nd and 3rd.. I think it's just a matter of where this one is going to land :chuckles:
