Even with the addition of Ted Williams, we still don't hit....adding Jimenez and dropping Huff has devalued the starting pitching,the relief corps is flaming out..the Tribe is like 26 and 41 since the 30 and 15 start.....and they are in contention????

The AL Central is now the other side of the looking glass.

If I were one of the AL Central teams ,I would be doing my best to stay out of the playoffs so as not to be dismembered on a national scale.



This could be what Shapiro had in mind; I think it is.

He should be applauded for his brilliance in keeping his noodle while everyone else is losing theirs.

At least it won't be the Twins meekly going out of the playoffs again this year, right? I'd have to imagine either the Tigers or the Indians would give the Yankees or Red Sox a better fight than the Twinkies.

Odd number contest clyde. After this series the Tribe will be 1,3, 5, or 7 games back of the Tiggers. I'm gonna be the eternal optimist and say they'll be 5 games back.

Put me down for 3...they love to make us be happy, only to yank out the rug.

Evidently it still rains in cleveland, updating box score still says 2nd inning. Maybe we'll see lots of Herrmann tonight. that can only mean good things.

They're back to it, both starters out.





We got Durbin.

You win the "i know my tribe the best" prize. A Tom Veryzer bobblehead. People talk about the curse of Colavito and that Tiger trade for Harvey Kuehn, but it was the Charlie Spikes to Detroit for Tom Veryzer trade with the Tigers that is a curse you never hear about...they haven't won a championship since trading Spikes either.

What a horrible player and so misnamed.I remember him carping about batting 2nd....he said Manning on first made him nervous.I'd freak if I ever saw him again.

The 7's are out. The 1s, 3s, and 5s are still alive! I still like my 5...I was putting last night into the automatic win slot with Masterson then the rain came but we got lucky. You are very optimistic going with O-Bald-O or the Exhausto/Verlander matchup.
