If they fire Acta this organization really demonstrates how much of a joke they are. What does he have to do with a team that I knewwas dead on day 1? While I may be more of an NBA expert I do think that I can see a crap baseball team when I see one. This dolan team is a crap team and no amout of blaming ACTA will change that. The Dolanites are just lashing out .

Matt LaPorta called up and batting 6th against CC Sabathia and Yankees tonight. Frank Herrmann sent down.

The sixth time could be a lucky charm for LaPorta.

1-1 after four innings.

Two big K's in the clutch. He's not making it easy for the people who want to believe in him.

Hey, at least they are not tanking, again !

The bottom of the ninth says it all.

2nd & 3rd no out. 2 runs to tie.

zero, zip, nada

In education decades ago, West Virginia used to say "thank goodness for Mississippi" when it came to education success rankings as they were able to look at at least one state below.

In 2012 in Cleveland, it's "thank goodness for Minnesota."

Go figure.

We go from 3.5 out, to 15.5 out, in 29 days...dependent upon your time zone....as our organization management flails blindly at a future.

There was a day,
I think it was in May.

Before we lost our steam,
I said "we are a lousy team."


But I didn't think we were this lousy. Even Kipnis is showing signs of being average.

Baseball is funny that way. There is a huge factor of "group-think" or something to that effect that happens, when the horrible morale of the team as a whole can make every player perform at their worst level. The flip side is when a few guys get hot the whole team can catch fire and the team as a whole can over-perform what one would expect. This happened to the Tribe during the first half of last season.

This season we're seeing all the chickens coming home to roost.

Our long national nightmare is over.

The Indians defeat the Yankees 3-1 as Masterson picks up the win and the bullpen comes through to wrap it up.

Michael Brantley gets kudos for delivering a three run bomb the night after Sabathia beat us.

..............WE WIN!!!

Having broken the streak last night, the Indians are on their way to starting a new one. It's now 3-0, Skankees, bottom of 4. The Tribe did load the bases last inning, but of course did not score.

Carlos Santana 2-out, 2-run single cuts Skankees lead to 3-2 in 5th

Sipp wastes no time giving a run back on a leadoff homer by Granderson.
