Acta makes most of these decisions just like Wedge did.

LOL!

If there is comfort in teams with similar lost late seasons, I have surfed to find The Cubs playing in an apparently cool drizzle in Colorado.

Really, the cameras have panned the stands, and I estimate those in live attendance at way less than 500.

Drew Pomeranz goes for the Rockies tomorrow, the Cubs announcers note.....

If that statement is 100% true, than Shapiro and Antonetti are even more guilty for our over half season long demise, and bleak future.

The two non-ball players as President and GM wuss out to a guy who never got a cup of coffee at the Major League level?

No winners in Cleveland Indians front office positions at this moment.

Rusty, I'd let you run this Indians organization tomorrow.

I have no idea your background in sports, but I know you are more astutely gifted about baseball and life than Mark Shapiro or Chris Antonetti.

Now wait a minute, letting Rusty run the Tribe would not really help things.

Have you not read 1984?

He suffers mostly from doublethink:

The keyword here is blackwhite. Like so many Newspeak words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary. This demands a continuous alteration of the past, made possible by the system of thought which really embraces all the rest, and which is known in Newspeak as doublethink. Doublethink is basically the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.

Unlike you. You were the one that whined that TFIR looked at you the wrong way during a forum meeting.

Unlike you. You were the one that made his wife sit through a rainstorm in an empty spring training stadium instead of leaving.

Unlike you. I will not be running for my high blood pressure pills no matter what you post. One of the benefits of not being an insecure sob like yourself.

Canzler puts the tribe on the board in the first with an rbi single. Who is this guy?

Middle of 1, 1-0 Indians over the sox.

Cespedes triples home a run and scores on a basehit by Carter. A's 2 and still batting in the first. Still fuming that we dropped out of the bidding for Cespedes.

KC fails to hold a 4-1 lead in Detroit as the Tiger score 3 times in the 4th to tie the game. KC's pitching has always been their Achilles Heal.

Bases loaded and no outs in the first against Masterson and the Indians.

Masterson gives the sox a gift run by walking one in. Still no outs. Who is this guy?

Rios sac fly gets another run home. 2-1 sox in the first with 1 out.

AJ doubles in another 3-1.

Alexei grounds out Masterson to first. Two down. Runners hold.
