Can't wait for the Cleveland game to start.  Texas could do us a big favor here.

Could cut the magic number to 68.

I'll leave the game in your accomplished hands.

I learned a new word 

[IndianaTwin]

Glad they brought Lopez back. Got two outs on one pitch. At that rate, he’ll only need another five pitches to get the final three innings. 

[USAFChief]

I always love grabbing a lead and then seeing a reliever imediately walk the leadoff hitter

Texas won, i think.

Perfect time and type of game for Jorge to work on getting his mojo back. We’ll need him down the stretch.

The math checks out.

[glunn]

Lopez's efficiency is not so good this inning.

[rwilfong86]

Bad luck there

[mrtwinsfan]

Walking the leadoff hitter isn't bad luck,  nor is Kepler not getting to that.

Especially the first of those, and also equally the second.

The ball falling in that spot is indeed bad luck.

That didn’t age particularly well. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

I had to walk away from the game for a few minutes and... do I even want to know what happened here?

Buxton leading off is depressing.

Francona, probably.

It's crazy to think last year he was an All Star and hit a homerun in the game and this year he is below .200.

True, which is in and of itself depressing.
