I think they were banking on contending this year thus they didn't trade him. They felt if they were out of it, they could deal him in July. I can't argue with them not trading the Cy Young winner and consistent 12-18 game winner over his career when they were 1 game from the World Series last year. They rolled the dice. Lee or Sowers were no guarantee starting the year either. Byrd is tough to gauge as well. We all know he is gone after this year, but I can't argue with the decision to go with him starting the year.

You sound like Shapiro.

Anyone knowing Sabbathia's make up would know he should been traded once he rendered useless his Thome version of " They'll have to tear this uniform off me."










I guess it was made of paper mache.

I wonder if the Indians will give up a grandslam a game. Byrd opened the season spectacular

Oh don't give "Birdie" all the credit....he had help from Here's Jhonny.

Heats off heres Johnny, he hit his homerun this month

Byrd better order some more HGH

ror!




The ball Cabrera easily got to last night is only a dream to HJ.

Heres Johnny is 30lbs overweight

Byrd looked bad on CBS sportsline and I cant even see the game live. They just post the Grandslam, back to back shots, and score. What a POS he is, ERA will be 20.20 after today

Oh my God...you're talking about today's game!!

I forgot it was at 3:30.




I could not believe they picked his option up.

We're in big trouble.

And I like your point....the emperor's clothed Indians' front men always mention how HJ has lost weight----every year.








I think I found it!

Byrd has been removed after 6 earned in 3IP. Its time for him to hit the bullpen, he and Borwoski are clones. If Heres Johnny lost 30 Im blind

Crotch Shop just singled, maybe they can get something going

!!


Just checked the box score.






You're right,but what I love is FG didn't start in right..which I can understand as he has no hits since game one...but was hitting around .150.



So he's replaced with Jason Michaels....whose hitting .O50.



Of course Delucci MUST stay in left because, after all, he is hitting .091.



Let's keep quiet the fact FG can run,throw and field circles around those 2 MOPS.....Masters of the Platoon.

Jason Michaels looks terrible

We grounded into the DP. I guess thats better than last year when we actually had a guy in the rotation that was taking DP. Where did they send that guy, back to Japan?

Hmmm...maybe!






Oh well.

Somehow they'll get things righted and get back in the hunt.

But really....Delucci,Michales,HJ?





Those 3 are big drawbacks.I would have stuck Fransisco in left. He has to be better.

Cabrera at ss and let Barfield show he can do it hitting at 2nd.


















But nnnnNNNNNNOOOOOO!










Oh well.











At least we have Marte on the bench for no obvious reason.

I just searched, they sent the gay porno jap back to Japan after they found out he was in a bunch of gay porno

^^^Biggest fan ever forgetting what time his favorite team starts

^^^ Funny.... a million Tiger fans still don't know.

It is a crime Ben Francisco isn't the starting left fielder for this team. Peralta already has 2 homers this month Bid (team leader)!! Peralta could play 3rd base quite easily (but what do I know!!).

Heres Johnny is going to be on the biggest loser if he keeps this up. Looks like heres Johnny got a hot dose of Byrds HGH

For all the problems the Cleveland sports teams have and have had...the Indians continue to do what they have always done well the last 18 years...lock up good young players for a long time. Fausto Carmona the latest. (and in 6 years, we'll be discussing Carmona's last year in Cleveland wondering why we didn't trade him in spring training as we did and will do with Manny, Thome, Sabathia, Sizemore etc!!!.)

Hes better than CC. I think hes going to have a fantastic year.
