Phungo 5 with Tribe Cards

This week the Phils sort of conclude the home portion of interleague play with a three game set against the Cleveland Indians. Today, we check in with Dave, the man in charge over at Indians Baseball Cards and Random Wax, to find out what is going on with the Tribe.

1) How are all those ex-Phils looking for the Indians?
How are ANY players looking for the Tribe these days? It's a rough go of things, and will be for 2-3 more seasons.

2) Who will represnt the Indians at the All Star game?

I suppose Choo, though I don't think there is a true "All-Star" on the team this year.

3) What teams (if any) went unclaimed in the Great Tribecards Giveaway?

Many teams actually went unclaimed, thus were given away as mega-fodder. Off the top of my head, I don't specifically remember which teams went unclaimed. Padres, maybe? That's a guess.

4) What number should the Indians retire next?
I can't think of one yet. Ideally, for me, it would be 25 (Thome), but that's just me playing favorites.

5) Who was your Favorite "Drew Carey Show" character?
Surprisingly, I never watched the show that I can remember.

Phungo 5 Box Score

Hmm 4 out of 5 - I am betting that "the Drew Carey Show" aired while Dave was busy raising kids. To be honest I did not watch the show much myself, but I just want to mention that Lisa(Katy Selverstone) is one of my favorite girlfriends of a television character ever.

On Deck

As mentioned above the Cleveland series is sort of the last home series of Interleague play for the Phils. By sort of I mean that this is the last series in which they will bat last. This weekends Blue Jays Series with the Phils (originially scheduled for Toronto) has been moved to Philadelphia. The Phils will host the game but the game will be played as if it is Toronto. There will be a DH and the Phils will bat first.
