Cleveland's playerd the Sox tough but haven't come through in the late innings. Buerhle goes tomorrrow against the Indian's Davis so to avoid a sweep, the Indians need to get this one.

Anderson pitched well in his last outing against the Sox and the Sox's Stewart is fresh off the only loss to the Tigers by anyone this season. I know that GCS likes this guy, but his starts have come against the Tigers and while the Indians aren't a huge step up in offensive prowess, they are a step up.

I love Stewart's attitude, but he has come from not being in the top 30 prospects in the farm system to their fifth starter in a year's time. Think the dog has the value.

Anderson +140 1 unit

BBC, i have read some quotes from some royals and tigers pitchers that the opposing warm-up bullpen mound is totally different than the field mound...height, etc etc...and its taking them some time to adjust during the game...

Sox are off too a 6-1 start at home, you think they are up to some funny stuff????

The league goes around and checks this stuff, but not sure if they have been around with their tape measures and dirt scoops...

good luck today...

I think that their 6-1 home record has alot to do with the fact that they've played the Tigers, Indians and Royals. Although their the same teams that they've played on the road, the Sox should control these teams.

They've hit better at home (.267 vs. .254) but their opposing pitchers have had better control (30 walks in 207 AB(home) vs. 26 walks in 225 AB (road)) at US Cellular than at their home parks.

Congrats on your success this year, IE

what a ridiculous defensive inning for the tribe in the 1st.

shoulda been scoreless going into the 2nd.

hafner throws high to start a double play and everyone is safe

garcia pulls up on a pop fly to left with 2 outs and 0-0. lets it drop and the inning continues

then bradley totally misplays an inning ending lineout to center filed. over his head and the flood gates opened.

anderson didnt pitch poorly at all, but the boxscore will reflect otherwise. the 8 guys behind him were pathetic

It's still early. Sox seem to go to sleep with a lead and Stewart's having trouble.

I think the way to guarantee the Sox a division championship is to have me keep going against them. Feeling a little like the Tigers right now.
