The Cleveland Sporty Page

[horseofcourse]

This series was about the Cleveland Indians. I don't give a rat's ass about the Red Sox. This was about Cleveland being better in every single faze of the game for 3 straight days and the most perfect execution I have seen by a major league baseball team in a long, long time today. The bottom the 8th was the most beautiful baseball witnessed in many years. It needs to be put on clinic tapes. Terry Francona should be put in witness protection after what Manny Acta did to him today. A straight steal by Adam Everett!! Are you kidding me!! I was able to view a live stream of the game. I was a witness to an execution of Terry Francona by Manny Acta.

Highly amusing!





And I don't even know who this Everett guy is!

This is likely the high point of the entire season. I gotta milk this cow completely! When they're 50-77, I can always look back to the glory days of early April!

The depressing thing is you're probably very right.



I only want to see Boston out of the playoffs so I can use Dahla's prediction as a tag line.

In all seriousness, when they have a good bullpen they contend. This has the makings of a very good bullpen this year. The bullpen was very, very good after the all star break last year when the two lefties got it turned around and C Perez went to closer. he was as good as anyone 2nd half last year. Early returns are the two lefties still have it figured out and if Pastrami can be the right handed set up man...you never know. The rotation is questionable at best, but a lights out bullpen can cover up a lot. Seriously, paul byrd won 15 games in '07 but how good was he really??

You're right on the savers...the starters,still not much is known about Tomlin and Chico.Obviously I forgot his name.I do like the other 3.



On offense---left,2nd,3rd ,dh and first are really not sa hot.

But I do think they should wind up at about 80 to 85 wins which would be a big improvement from last year.
