My eyes hurt from watching this. Bring in Borowski and his 7.99 ERA, hes perfected the new molotov cocktail pitch

Mike Fischlin would be the number 3 hitter in this offense.

borowski's ERA just plummeted under 7. Parade planned tommorrow.

7.53
6.75
12.00
6.75

ERAs of the 4 Tribe pitchers tonight.

HOC...this is quality work you're doing here.

2 of their 5 major league caliber players pitch the next two nights so they may get lucky and win one of them.

Here's Jhonny is a hitting machine when down 7!!!

Actually you have to give Laffey a lot of credit.




I just hope he changes his name if he goes south on us.

Oh he's a Monopoly money player all right.

This year Lee, Sabathia, Laffey, Sizemore, Kobayashi and maybe Perez are the major league caliber players. Perhaps Blake if you really wanted to stretch it.

Oh well.at least the uniforms aren't bad.

:)

Uh oh Scavy....

1 down, 2 to go.

You aught to pay me to bet against the Rays for the rest of the season....you might only lose 10 more games then

Words to make your head rattle:



So ,Mr. Shapiro....you see the immediate and large success Phillips has had at Cincinnati?

Yes....but he wouldn't have done that here . ( meaning he would have been a utility infielder on the Indians and ,therefore, would not have had that chance to star)



=====================


I think Shapiro was saying " I'm even dumber than I sound."

=================







So,Eric...what's the story with Peralta?


Well....we're trying to get him to get all he has brought out to the game. He has so much ability.




=================

Wedge sees a cup almost full where others don't see a cup.

What's Cliff Lee's contract situation? Is he auditioning along with CC if they clean house?

He's signed up for at least 2 more years...it may be 3 or 4.




And ,again, the Indians brain dust could have got a lot more for CC had they done it at the start of the year.....but they saw diamonds where others saw feldspar.






It appears the others were right.

Generally you trade in March you get players, trade in July and you get prospects. Maybe you saw this train wreck of a season coming, but not many others did, IMO.

Yes...those that observed from afar saw big things.

Those who looked up close saw little things.




Such as:

A bewildered Hafner displaying every sign of a wash up.( he's going to set a record for being out the longest time without any operation being done)


Not doing something about leftfield. The Michales/Dellucci platoon did 't work ( SUR-PRAZ SUR-PRAZ!) Lofton was signed and took it over. Then Lofton was dumped and ,of course, the Indians went back to what wasn't working.


Here's Jhonny ( they will never own up to this colossal mistake)


Boroski and a successful pen made up of mostly rookies....rookies who can cave the very next year...which they have.Boroski said everything but " I HAVE HAD IT! YOU WERE LUCKY THIS YEAR!"


Resigning Byrd who was saying the same thing as Boroski.


Wedge.


Shapiro.




















OK?

lol...ok
