[Special_K19]

Bad News: Hot hitting Milton Bradley might go on the DL. :(

I missed the first inning, but they had a hit, no clue how. :notme:

[Special_K19]

Great start. :hmm: Davis gives up a homer to lead-off hitter Mark Ellis. 1-0 Oakland

Hatteberg grounds out to short for the first out.

Tejada hits a hot grounder to third and Blake makes a nice play to throw him out.

Oakland has some copycat drummers. They don't compare to John Adams.

STRIKE 3 ON HERNANDEZ, same spot as Blake's K. At least there is continuity.

[Special_K19]

MLB official is at the game to moniter the length of the game. It should be no problem since the Tribe zooms through games this season.

Another 1-2-3 for JD, yet another game where he was the victim of one bad inning thanks to our anemic offense.
