That's a pretty amazing picture. Is that Cabrera? Doesn't look stocky enough.

It is and apparently the hit distorted over 25% of the ball surface.

Wow. Guess that's called "squaring up," hey? Or, "smashing the bug," I guess.

This is why the Tigers drive me nuts. First meeting of the year with the White Sox and they get killed. The White Sox have been **** horrible.

We just had a color blindness test in another thread. That is NOT Sea Foam Green (it's TEAL!! "Alternate Home Uniform").

I'm not 100%, but I believe the starting pitcher (Joe Saunders Aaron Harang in this case) gets to choose the uniform color.

Stealth Edit: Teal or no, we just beat you 2 to 1. I believe that puts you two games behind the Tigers, no? :D

Since I am color blind I googled Teal versus Sea-Foam. Turns out the prevalent theory is that they are the same color.

Sea Foam Green was the pasty mint green the Air Force used to paint the interior of the C-130s I spent several years living inside of in the 1980s...

At what point in this conversation do we address my score from the color blind test?

Yeah the wheels are off this choo-choo. Not sure why we are slipping into a third consecutive 2nd half slump since we have a new manager and pretty much an entirely new team. Must be the Curse of Wahoo.

It's payback for unceremoniously trading Albert Belle after the 1996 Division Championship Series.

That's why we had to let him go. The media around here wouldn't let it go (and rightfully so).

I am a Braves fan and a Tribe fan. My grandparents and father's family live in Cleveland. I just like picking on our Indians.

Why limit yourself when we have so many franchises to pick on?

Our brand new owner is about to have the Browns seized as an asset by the Feds.
The Indians are beginning their third second half slide in a row.
The Cavs are living in a fantasy world where the prom queen who dumped them is going to come back, marry them and go off and live in castle happily ever after.

Verlander is looking more and more like Bonderman... So sad.

Just to set the record straight, Cleveland didn't suckerpunch Scheppers. Douchenugget started a bar fight he couldn't win.

Cops, witness say Tanner Scheppers ‘lost a bar fight’
Drew Silva
Jul 28, 2013, 2:25 PM EDT

Rangers reliever Tanner Scheppers told reporters he was sucker-punched by a group of males after having dinner on Thursday night in Cleveland, thus explaining his suddenly-bruised left eye and the cuts on his face. But that might not be the actual story.

A witness to Scheppers’ supposed sucker punch told Clevescene.com that the incident happened at 2:30 a.m. — not anywhere near dinner time — and that Scheppers was accompanied by teammates Joe Nathan and A.J. Pierzynski, along with “a bunch of girls.” Scheppers, according to the witness, was a “verbal instigator” and there was some jawing back and forth for a few minutes before a punch got thrown.

“He lost a bar fight,” the witness, whose exact level of involvement is unclear, explained to Vince Grzegorek of Clevescene.com on Sunday morning. “He had 10 chances to walk away before this happened.”

The 6-foot-4 right-hander will undoubtedly have to field questions about this account of the incident on Sunday evening, after the Rangers wrap up their weekend series against the Indians at Progressive Field.

Scheppers, 26, has an impressive 1.74 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 46 2/3 innings of relief this season.

*********************
UPDATE, 5:21 p.m. ET: Here’s a statement from the Cleveland Police, via the Dallas Morning News:

“The preliminary investigation reveals that on Friday, July 26, at approximately 2:30 a.m. Texas Ranger pitcher Tanner Scheppers was involved in a physical altercation at Panini’s Bar located on W. 6th Street. Further investigation reveals that the altercation was called in by Downtown Alliance workers and that Third District officers responded to the scene to investigate. Once on scene officers attempted to get information from Scheppers for a report however, he refused to provide information and refused to make a police report. Further, officers called for EMS and he refused medical attention and EMS was disregarded. The officers then conveyed Scheppers and another male to the Ranger’s team hotel.”

Brendan Ryan has ridiculous range at Short Stop...

Ends up on the right field lawn (from Short Stop) making what will be his last great defensive gem as a Mariner.

He won't be eligible for the post season roster, but the Yankees fans will enjoy watching him while jeter heals up.
