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!!

ON the bright side, just how bad are the Brownies going to be this year?? I guesss we have to start as it appears the Tribe is simply cliff diving for serious now.

Our pitching is too good overall for a season ending long losing streak, but it's not good enough to not lose 6 of 10 with regularity which makes this slow, steady decline ever so painful. (it's exactly that as we're 24-40 in our last 64 games which is a large sample size of pretty bad baseball....a long stretch of losing 6 of every 10 pretty much.)

I don't know how a .260 hitter can get on base a lot without walking a lot...and from his evidence of complete lack of power, why would he walk a lot??

We got what we should have thought we got in U-Boob-O.

The 2 pitchers we gave up for no apparent reason will become the next NL C.Young winners.....of course.

I would like to say,''Thank God we can now pay attention to the Browns."....but I do for a few minutes and then I say, "Well...there's still plenty of baseball left."


Then there's the Cavaliers......but there's still plenty of baseball left.





Maybe Ohio State can be something to look ahead for with a happy face.

As you can tell, my life sucks.

he just does. the guy walks a lot. good vision? He is an upgrade believe it or not, which is pretty sad statement on the team's offense no question and what we were putting in the outfield. (urns started the last two days with Brantley banged up!!) This is pretty much arguing which method of capital punishment you prefer. It matters zero in the end.

They play a game with which I am completely unfamiliar.



How many walk off losses do we now have?

Shapiro is like T-Woods.....he has 2 heads;and a hole in one.

I'm not exactly sure what happened. Shapiro was at his best when we were sellers, not buyers. I can't fathom why they thought we should be buyers this year. I don't know if Shapiro is running it any more or if Antonnetti has full control on these things. Again, I have to think something is wrong with Ubaldo or the rockies wouldn't have dumped him as he is quite cheap for multiple years. It would have been like us trading CC in 2006 rather than 2008, it would have made zero sense. for a guy to have steady progressive improvement for 3 years then fall of the table while under contract and they aggressively seek to dump him is wrong..why would they do that?? I have gone back and forth on it, I am just praying for a miracle is all.

This is fine thinking.

Antonnetti sounds just like Shapiro;silver spoon fed words.Really, he sounds just like him.

How does one get promoted to prez having achieved just about zee-ro?



Trading players you have no hope in resigning in July when you have no hope in contending is easy.The reverse is much tougher .....especially when you have no idea what contending means.

A fine observation....I think Acta can smell it,too.He won't be able to resist pinch hitting with Urns.


Jesus!... do we strike out a lot or what!?

I hope we have seen the last of the "strike out and run into a double play" sign.




I hate that.

It's officially over a month since we last won a series now. July 4-5-6 Yankees.

Losing a game where Exhausto gives up zero runs would be a fine capper to the season I think. I'm gonna say 1-0 in 16 innings. I'm gonna charter a jet so I can give up the game winning homer in the 16th.

True. Oh my God Shelley Duncan has the last two rbi's for the team. He has 23 rbi, Urns 7 total with many more at bats than Duncan. Fine team management there in choosing the stiff righty for the bench. they can't even do that right. Duncan only playing and on the team cause Hannahan is with his wife watching birth or something.
