Nice outing Byrd. 
Well, I knew the pitching would cough at least one of these games, I just automatically assumed it would be the pen. :2004:

How many times has that happened already this season? Bases loaded, zero or one out, no runs? I've never seen a team so totally inept with runners on base.mstevmac;1186487; said:

Fitful night for Tribe at Coors Field as Rockies roll to blowout victory Outfielders have tough time in spacious park
By Sheldon Ocker
Beacon Journal sportswriter
Published on Wednesday, Jun 18, 2008
DENVER: By the sixth inning, you knew it wasn't the Indians' night.
That's when the Tribe loaded the bases with nobody out with a chance to crawl back into a game they trailed 5-1. But Ryan Garko struck out, and Colorado Rockies' shortstop Omar Quintanilla made a diving snag of Shin-Soo Choo's wicked line drive and turned it into a double play to end the inning.
The Rockies went on to win easily, 10-2, Tuesday night at Coors Field.
Coors Field was part of the visitors' problem. Indians outfielders couldn't figure out where to play in the vast outfield stretches of the mile-high ballpark, where the ball carries in the light, warm air.
If they played deep, the Rockies hit the ball in front of them, if they played shallow, balls went sailing over their heads.

Yankees not likely to trade for Sabathia Indians will have plenty of suitors, hefty price tag if they decide to deal Cy Young Award winner
By Ken Davidoff
Newsday
Published on Wednesday, Jun 18, 2008
NEW YORK: It appears that baseball's trade-deadline enthusiasts might get their wish. But don't expect the New York Yankees to emerge as the winners of the C.C. Sabathia sweepstakes.
''Although we don't comment on individual players, it's prudent for us to do due diligence to be buyers or sellers,'' Indians General Manager Mark Shapiro told Newsday on Monday, ''so that if an opportunity presents itself, we can execute an intelligent trade.''
In other words, the Indians have begun scouting organizations that have expressed an interest in Sabathia, or that have the necessary supply of young players, or both. The Yankees are one of those teams, as ESPN's Peter Gammons reported Sunday. So are the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Cleveland Indians lose to Colorado Rockies
Wednesday, June 18, 2008Paul Hoynes
Plain Dealer Reporter
Denver -- This was the matchup that In dians fans everywhere wanted to see in October. Their team had a 3-1 lead over Boston in the ALCS. The Rockies were stuck in idle after winning the NLCS.
It never happened because the Indians blew the big lead, and the Red Sox swept the Rockies to win their second World Series title in four years. Tuesday night, the Indians got a chance to show what would have happened if they had finished the job against the Red Sox last October.
Well, let's just say it didn't make for very good viewing.

Cleveland Indians get bad news from Travis Hafner, Fausto Carmona, Josh Barfield
Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Denver- Being on the disabled list is bad enough for an athlete, but things took a turn for the worse Tuesday for Travis Hafner, Fausto Carmona and Josh Barfield.
Hafner, who has been on the disabled list since May 30 with a sore right shoulder, will visit Dr. James Andrews today in Birmingham, Ala., to get a second opinion on his shoulder.
Carmona, who has been on the disabled list since May 24 with a strained left hip, threw a 50-pitch, three-inning simulated game at Class A Mahoning Valley in Niles, Ohio, on Monday. When he reported to Progressive Field on Tuesday, he complained of soreness in the hip.

He's definitely the leading man
[FONT=Verdana,Times New Roman,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Power-hitting Sizemore finds comfort batting at top of the order[/FONT]
Wednesday, June 18, 2008
By JOSH WEIR
REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER
CLEVELAND Don't call Grady Sizemore a home run hitter.
The Indians' 25-year-old leadoff hitter wants no part of that label.
"Then you have to hit 50 (home runs) every year if you're a power hitter. If you don't hit 40 or something, then you're not doing your job. It's a no-win situation," he joked.
Sizemore has no one to blame but himself. He entered Tuesday the American League's second-leading home run hitter with 17, one behind Texas' Josh Hamilton.
He's on pace to hit 39 homers, which would smash his previous season high of 28 in 2006.
"You just want to be a complete hitter, whether you're hitting home runs or hitting singles," said Sizemore, batting .266 on the season. "Every hitter will tell you he wants to spray the ball to all fields and be able to cover the plate. That's what I'm trying to do. Home runs just kind of come."

That's a pain in the buns
I'm not really hung up on Barfield being out for a longer period of time, but hopefully Carmona starts feeling much better and get back to the team ASAP. As soon as he gets back really look into C.C. offers. If Pronk has to be for quite a while yet, I would like to see what someone mentioned a page or two ago.
Put Marte at 3B, Garko DH, and Blake at 1B. And if Marte doesn't produce then you go back to putting Blake at 3B and Garko at 1st.

I was at the game last night and sat in my usual Tuesday night spot - near the right field foul pole. Needless to say, we enjoyed heckling Choo. :p
Go Rockies!

Kevin Warren is an ass
Actually, the Colorado shortstop made one hell of a play on a ball hit by Choo than doubled Carroll off second base. It was not the typical strike out, pop up, and fly out for the normal three outs when the bases are loaded.mstevmac;1186487; said:

who cost your Rockies a run by reaching over the railing down the right-field line to cause a ground rule double and prevent a guy from scoring from first.
