Only the Tigers can figure out a way to have a guy give up five walks, not have a blatant balk called, and still only score one run through six innings.

Oh, and don't forget the part where their superstar 3B was called out at a very close play at first. Just not the Tigers year, this 2012.

And nobody manages like it's 1987 like Jim Leyland. he can retire anytime now, please.

You do realize that on this date last year the Tribe was 7 ahead of the Tigers and 3-0 against the Tigers at home!! The non balk call was hilarious (perhaps the most recognizable balk I've ever seen!)...I'll take any break we can get!!

Verlander is just insanely good. his 116th pitch clocked at 102 mph. Indians are 10-2 in one run games and that pace is impossible to continue. It's been a real fun first two months, but just like last year...it's still real early.

This just needs to be front paged again. It's looking ugly once again in all 3 sports. Tribe at this point the worst above .500 team in MLB history. It can't last too much longer. Tigers just biding time still. They'll be 5-10 up by mid September. White sox won't last.

The artist formerly known as Fausto Carmona "exhausto" on this thread makes a start on August 15th. That's about as good as it gets in Cleveland these days!! Good times, good times! HE's got better knees than Trent Richardson at least.

After beating Justin Verlander on July 26th, to go above .500 for the year, the Indians proceeded to lose 28 of their next 34 games. (And that's even with winning their last 1 in a row. 1-17 on their last two road trips combined. It's well oiled in Cleveland right now in all 3 sports. The Cavs were able to draft a Syracuse bench player with the 3rd pick in the NBA draft however. 0-16 is almost a guarantee for the Browns this year. It would be a monumental achievement to win even 1 game.)

more proof of how much I know my Cleveland sports.

Now that Morty is back, I'm expecting some fresh commentary on the Browns and their quest to win a game this year.

When a team has receivers nicknamed ''Butterfngers","Oops" and "What was that??"....that team might be owned by a red neck.


The owners brother is governor of Tennessee.

The coach of the team is Mr. Rogers.

The president is a whale.


The Browns best player is the place kicker.( The worst part is, all this stuff is true....so bad) The title "worst player" is still being contested by several including the entire right side of the offensive line, from the center over.Only in the fifth week of this new season, Browns fans are already anxiously awaiting the 2013 baseball season.Management has created a quarterback controversy as fans would really,really like one.

But then there is a running back controversy, a wide receiver controversy, a a head coach controversy and a defensive unit controversy.

As they head into whatever city they head into ( it really doesn't matter) this Sunday,the team is in fairly pressing need of its first double u.Just one more win in their next 4 games will assure the team of a 1-7 record at the half way mark.Then, anything can happen and probably will.The Browns are capable of dropping 6 on any team in the NFL.


The qb's number is 3.Does he think he is the place kicker??

The head coach likes to hunt.Local deer have a come up with a new line..."He's got that coach in the headlights look."



Anyways, what do you expect from a team that has been rebuilding every other year for the last 13 years? It ain't woikin'.Maybe they will learn that,"If it's broke, don't fix it." Trying to fix things has not worked.It's time to start not fixing broke things. That's the way the Tribe does it, goddamity!

Classic line!!!!!!! Maybe their team campaign should be " We wear DOT orange cause we are always under construction."
