I think the Indians way overpaid for Ubaldo. He makes sense financially, but the guy has basically had a single really good season, one just solid season, and the rest of his career has been pretty average (including 2011).

We'll see if he leads the Indians to the promised land.

I think we covered this already.


The trade sucks.

So do the Indians.

I'm not sure. We won't know until 2013 if this was a good or bad trade. They traded none of their top hitting prospects (Kipnis/Chisenhall) and one of their star pitching prospects they traded pitched 2 major leage games and tore up his middle finger in his 3rd game. Pitchers are all crap shoots with their health including Jimenez. But also White and Pomeranz. I can understand the gamble they made.

Well thank our luckies for Fucl<U.


Why we needed a proven phwit! who is 34 with a whole 15 rbi's in 293 at bats this year---I'll never know.

I'm sure the new pitcher is going to do wonders with our 2 run offense.

Thank goodness the Tribe's braindust has thrown away the future for a playoff race " injection "....in which we are not even involved.


Maybe we can find something for Randy Moss to do.

Great debut by U-Boob-O.



He almost made it to 5 and a third innings.

The Tribe got him just in time as I had almost forgot about Ken Strom.

But at least his walks/hits per inning is 2.0....and an era of 9.



He's another swell addition when you think about Mr. .200, Fucl<U.

Thank our luckies Shapiro has no idea what planet he is occupying.
