Clearly we need more Davis Schneider tonight.
Agreed! Although I was in favour of Biggio playing yesterday after his home run and crazy double play on Monday
This is looking like it could be another 1-run (total) game
You called it!

Losing a 1-0 game to a team in the Comedy Central was kind of a gut punch about this lineup without Bo. Early runs and a solid KG tonight please :D
Guardians is a reference to the Hope Memorial Bridge that is about a 5-minute walk from their ballpark. It's a very impressive art deco-style bridge that crosses the Cuyahoga River. The bridge features 8 large mythological looking 'Guardian' figures
Pretty good lineup for a LHP and no Bo! I hope we see Brandon make a pitch hit appearance versus a righty :)
Haven't followed baseball in a while. When did Cleveland change their name? It's a terrible name but obviously better than the Indians.
