I think the Jays have somewhat written off this game as a transition for Zambrano from pen to rotation as they are only expecting 3 innings out of him. They picked the right game to experiment though. Their bats could use some heating up after last nights disappointment, and they are facing somebody with a 7.96 ERA. Westbrook has been getting better, but I am hoping the Jays will throw a wrench in those plans.
The Jays will be looking to salvage the series as Zambrano looks for his first career win against Cleveland. I say this game is a pick 'em.
What are your thoughts on the game?

Going to the 11th right now.. man this is mission I hope it keeps going the Indians only have one more pitcher left and it'd be funny to stretch their bullpen. OKay inning is starting and the Indians put in their 'last' pitcher. Go Jays Go. Our bullpen has been strong this year we're used to the 10th inning.

You know, I was thinking the exact same thing at the time. I thought all we had to do was get 20 pitches out of him and the Indians would be toast, and our pen couldn't do it.
I think our pen has lost us like 8 games this year already. Granted, in a couple of those, our offense should have had us in a position to not be able to lose those games.
Well here's to hoping we can knock out their starter early tonight and use up their tired pen. The Indians can ill afford games like this, given the number of double headers they'll have later in the year.
