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.

[clyde]

AND he only allowed 5 earned in an Exhausto like 108 pitches.

[clyde]

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.

[clyde]

Thank goodness we don't need a closer.
















Oh.






















We do.



























My bad.

[clyde]

The Tribe is really making this division race really interesting, extending the Tigers lead to 4 games tonight by bunny quick snatching defeat from the scary jaws of victory .



Oh Mr. LaPorta-ski....it is not very wise to be arguing a call at first while the winning run on third tip toes his way to home plate.

At least they lose in a different way each game.

Interesting stuff.

For me this has been the biggest disappointment of the season. guy has not pitched well at all. Of our 5 "good" relief pitchers, he's been the worst. He's the bullpen's version of Exhausto. 2 outs, nobody on, 2 run lead in 9th, you really need to win those games in my opinion!!
