Captain Optimist positives from this game:

3 2/3 innings of 2 hit shutout pitching by the bullpen
Scored 2 runs late to show they didn't just roll over and die.

Other than that, forgettable game. Bring on Tampa!

Or you can just say EVERY team has a game (or two) like that over a 162 game schedule.

Carrera sent back to AAA....Grady expected to be activated

http://morningjournal.com/articles/2011/05/26/sports/doc4ddec1f50f72f512734147.txt

Step one of a two-step sequence that will result in the return of Grady Sizemore to the Indians’ active roster took place Thursday, when the Tribe optioned outfielder Ezequiel Carrera to Columbus.

Carrera wasn’t up long, but it was long enough for him to win a game for the Tribe. That came on a pinch-hit RBI bunt single in his first major league at bats, in the eighth inning of the Tribe’s 5-4 win over the Reds last Friday.

Carrera appeared in five games with the Indians, going 2-for-8 with 2 RBI.

Sizemore is expected to be activated off the disabled list today. Manager Manny Acta said Wednesday that he expected Sizemore to be activated this weekend, but then hastened to add that “the weekend lasts from Friday to Sunday.”

Sizemore has been on the disabled list since May 16. He hasn’t played in a game since May 10. The Indians’ record since then is 7-6.

When healthy, Sizemore was very productive. Although he has only appeared in 18 of the team’s 46 games, Sizemore is second on the Indians in home runs with 6 and tied for second in doubles with 10. He is hitting .282 with 11 RBI.

The return of Sizemore means that Michael Brantley moves from center field back to left field, and from the leadoff spot to the No.7 spot in the batting order.

Sizemore’s return will be a welcome one for the Indians, who will need all the help they can get in the next two games, in which they will face a couple of very formidable pitchers in Tamps Bay’s David Price and James Shields.

We got stomped in the finale yes, but with a healthy Sizemore/Hafner I think we win Game 2.

Have fun! I'm not a huge fan of Tampa's dome, but it is adequate, and much better than having to deal with the heat and humidity. Oh, and good luck with parking, it is a nightmare! Be thankful the game won't be ending at the start of the end-of-work rush hour like the one I went to did; as that was one of the most frustrating and slow drives I've had (St. Pete's to Tampa, after that it was pretty smooth sailing).

Stuck in traffic on 275 right now. Have a parking pass so it shouldn't be that bad.

And I know the Trop sucks but like you said at least it is a dome.

I like Sizemore DHing, good way to bring him back from the DL. Also like him at six, probably won't have to run the bases as much compared to batting at the top of the lineup.
