This is high comedy...I went back to the cleveland sporty forum and here is where this Obaldo discussion had devolved to. They have determined that this trade was made for the future. Yes, that is now the logic. They stated Obaldo is hurt this year and we need to wait until he is healthy in 2012 and he will start pitching like 2010. I said, wait a second, we traded our top two pitching prospects to build for the future?? They said yes, we're loading up for 2012 and 2013 and a healthy Obaldo is all we need. Then I said, why on earth would a contending team this year trade for an injured pitcher?? They then said again the trade was for the future. I said if he is injured why on earth is he pitching today?? they said it's not a serious injury that will require surgery. So I said again, so you're telling me the way to build for the future is to trade your two best pitching prospects for an injured pitcher?? they said when White or Pomeranz has 4 months like Obaldo had to start 2010 get back to them. They then said it was a big mental adjustment for him too. I said what mental adjustments did CC and Lee go through in 08 and 09 when they immediately went and dominated? They said well, they weren't hurt at the time of their trades.
Sso it all makes sense, we traded our two top guys for an injured pitcher to build for the future. Up is without question down in Cleveland.

I am dying for White to go 6 or 7 really good innings tonight. It will become an absolute bloodbath over there and I can't wait, as the silent majority are just waiting for his game tonight to surface and we become the loud majority!

Obaldo has made it Colt McCoy season very quickly.

Don't lose hope yet, you two. The Tigers still have guys named Porcello and Penny in their rotation. All is not completely lost, even if you're down 5.5 with 35 to play. The Twins were down three with four to play in '09 and the Tigers still blew that lead.

Total aside, but Verlander has let in 23 ER in his last 17 starts. That's pretty awesome.
